In order to avoid the persecution of the Cai clan, the Wang clan had long since moved out of Jingzhou. Xu Huai had always thought that until his biological father, Wang Xiaocheng, was exonerated and the news spread widely, he would have no chance to hide incognito.
of tribesmen reunited.
Xu Huai did not expect such an unexpected surprise when he came to Yingzhou to attend the military conference.
Xu Huai could see that his uncles Wang Ju and Fan Yong were extremely powerful.
Especially his cousin Wang Ju, in addition to his burly figure, his demeanor and demeanor are very restrained, even a little unremarkable, but Xu Huai knew that his cousin Wang Ju was essentially returning to his original state.
Only muscles and bones that can be completely contracted and relaxed can maintain a soft and relaxed state at ordinary times.
But warriors who have not stepped into this level often give people a destructive feeling because of their intuitive vigilance.
Lu Xiong has almost reached this level, but the problem is that Lu Xiong is over sixty years old and his muscles and bones are old.
His cousin Wang Ju could be said to be at the peak of his physical strength at this time.
And Xu Huai had also heard from Xu Wuqi, Xu Wukun, and Zhou Jing very early that the python gun created by his biological father was actually perfected with the help of his uncle Wang Ju. Before, he thought he was long dead.
Well. In Yingzhou City, where military generals gathered, Xu Huaidu doubted that he would be able to find anyone who could compete with his cousin Wang Ju in spear skills.
Although the Tongbai Mountain Soldiers could be said to be elite troops at this time, Xu Huai knew very well that compared with the Red Husband Cavalry who had been fighting for decades, the Tongbai Mountain Soldiers were far from enough.
What's more, the Red Hu people have swallowed up most of the core areas of Khitan.
With the more efficient mobilization and killing mechanism of the Red Husband, the scale of the cavalry that the Red Husband can gather will be far beyond imagination.
Whether the soldiers of Tongbai Mountain are retreating southward or want to establish a foothold in the north of Tongbai Mountain in the future, they can at least withstand the front of the Chihu people in one direction. In addition to needing more and more elite soldiers, they are really lacking in soldiers.
He is still a general who can lead his troops into battle.
No matter how great the war potential of Tongbai Mountain is, it is less than two hundred miles away, so the absolute number of qualified generals that can be trained is limited.
However, due to the closed nature of Tongbai Mountain Soldier and his unclear life experience, Xu Huai suspected that it would be difficult for him to recruit many people with general qualifications to join them before this court completely disappointed most people in the world.
At this juncture, being able to meet his cousin Wang Ju and Fan Yong, who had served as Duyu Marquis in the Jingzhou Army, in Yingzhou was a direct gift to him with two key generals who could play a leading role.
And Wang Xian, Wang Jun and Fan Zongqi have such family traditions, and they will definitely not be weak in stick skills. Under the influence of Wang Ju and Fan Yong, they also have an understanding of military management and command, and they are definitely qualified to be called rising stars.
of.
It's a pity that after hiding their names, they can only join the army as ordinary people. In today's world, it is too difficult for warriors to stand out. They are so young that they can deploy their divisions to serve as small soldier leaders, or Wang Ju and Fan Yong
The two of them have been working in the Metropolitan Deployment Department for more than ten years.
If he hadn't considered that the situation he would face next was too bad, how bad it was, Xu Huai would have wanted to take Wang Ju and Fan Yong back to Xishan. But at this time, he had to suppress his inner excitement and worry about this quagmire.
Making a last-ditch effort, he looked at Lu Xiong and asked:
"Master Lu, Mr. Xiang brought you to Yunshuo, but did he not allow you to have any deep involvement with Shuozhou?"
"What are you talking about? If the prime minister doesn't allow me to have anything to do with Shuozhou, how can I show up here?" Lu Xiong said.
Lu Xiong thought that Xu Huai asked this question because he was still worried about Wang Fan openly discouraging the relationship between the two parties when he left Lanzhou. The implication of what he said was that Wang Zhen really wanted to say no.
If he was too involved with Shuozhou, how could he find Wang Ju and Fan Yong as soon as he arrived in Yingzhou?
Lu Xiong knew that Wang Zhen felt guilty in his heart, but Wang Fan was too prejudiced against Xu Huai and others, and because of his personal career, Wang Fan's attitude towards Xu Huai was also extremely strong.
In the past, of course he would take care of Wang Fan's face and would not openly get too close to Shuozhou, but now the situation has become so critical that the country has forgotten about it, so how can he care about these details?
?
As long as he can slightly restore these dilapidated situations, how can he consider the issue of whether it is deeply involved at this juncture?
Can Wang Fan's face be as big as the sky?
Even if Mr. Wang Zhen was here, Lu Xiong believed that he would not consider this at all. He had already regretted it ever since he saw Wang Fan recommending Cao Shixiong to take charge of the military affairs of Lanzhou in the west wing.
However, Lu Xiong quickly thought that Xu Huai had actually asked Zhu Zhi about this question.
There are many secrets that cannot be told to Zhu Zhi, so Zhu Zhi does not know how dangerous the current situation is.
Zhu Zhi had a somewhat generous temper. At this time, he was angry with Liu Shizhong and Cai Yuanyou. At the same time, he was also isolated in Yingzhou. He immediately came to Xu Huai to express his sorrow and relieve his resentment. This was not
strangeness.
However, this cannot guarantee that he will stand unswervingly on the same stand as Xu Huai at the more critical juncture when life and death decisions must be made.
After all, the Zhu family still had to be consistent with Wang Zhen and Wang Fan above the temple. At the same time, Zhu Zhi was also confused about how tough Wang Fan's attitude was towards Xu Huai and others.
Therefore, Xu Huai had to ask Lu Xiong to explain Wang Zhen's attitude towards Shuozhou clearly to Zhu Zhi. Before returning to the capital, Wang Fan was the supervisor of the army. He got angry and Wang Zhen could not do anything about him. But after returning to the capital, the Wang family
Wang Zhen is still in charge.
After receiving Lu Xiong's answer, Xu Huai then said: "The funeral hall for Mr. Liu Jun should have been set up, and I should go over to express my condolences. Since Mr. Wang does not dislike Shuozhou's rebelliousness, Mr. Lu and Brother Zhu will come with me."
Go and burn incense for Mr. Liu Junlang!"
"..." Zhu Zhi was a little stunned.
Zhu Zhi's temperament is a bit easy to mess up, but he can still figure out that the fact that he met Xu Huai to talk and drink in private was due to his personal friendship with Xu Huai. Even if his uncle Wang Fan knew that he didn't like it, outsiders would not think much of it.
But he, Xu Huai and Lu Xiong went to Liu Jun's mourning hall to express their condolences. How would outsiders view this?
Liu Shizhong recommended Xu Huai as the Tenth General of the Tianxiong Army, Marquis of Yu. Outsiders suspected that this was secretly with Wang Zhen, the father and son of Wang Fan and his son. What Wang Fan did when he left Lanzhou was just to cover up others' eyes.
By doing this now, doesn't it announce to the outside world that Xu Huai has always been a royal general?
Zhu Zhidou was worried that his uncle Wang Fan wanted to cut ties with Xu Huai again, would he be put to death?
"Why, Brother Zhu is a little tired and doesn't have the energy to burn incense for Mr. Liu Junlang?" Xu Huai looked at Zhu Zhi and asked.
"How is that possible? Let's go over there right now." Zhu Zhi gritted his teeth and said, thinking that if his uncle wanted to find someone to settle the score, he would also go to Lu Xiong first. When the time comes, his uncle will be suppressed by his uncle. He was afraid at this time.
What?
Besides, after the death of Mr. Liu Junlang, the only officials of the Ministry of War in Yingzhou who were of high rank were him and another clerk who was over fifty years old but was careful in everything. The two of them often had trouble urinating.
Go in a pot.
Zhu Zhi thought to himself that if he really broke off the relationship with Xu Huai at this time, he would probably be depressed to death in Yingzhou, without even a friend to talk to or drink with.
…………
…………
Xu Huai rushed from the south bank of the Hui River to Yingzhou to attend the military meeting. In theory, he had to pass through the enemy's war zone, so he brought more than a hundred cavalry to escort him, which was nothing.
However, when entering Yingzhou City, in front of a group of generals whose rank was higher than his own, he was definitely not qualified to lead more than a hundred guards through the streets.
If he had led so many people directly into the headquarters of the Defeating Yan Army commanded by Liu Shizhong, and Liu Shizhong would have accused him of conspiracy, he would have nowhere to cry.
Xu Huairu, Xu Wuqi, and Yin Peng led the cavalry to stay in the yard. By the way, they would talk to Wang Ju and others in more detail about the many things that had happened over the years. He took Zheng Tu, Xu Xin'an, Niu Erniu Yashan and others with him.
, walked with Lu Xiong and Zhu Zhi to the mourning hall located in the capital's administrative building.
It was inconvenient for Xu Huai to bring too many followers with him in Yingzhou, but there were too many people who had ill intentions towards him. Zhou Jing brought a dozen masters in disguise to follow and protect him secretly to prevent Liu Shizhong, Cai Yuanyou and others.
He didn't dare to do anything to Xu Huai openly, but secretly played dirty tricks.
Fan Yong, as the capital deployment department, came forward to recruit Xu Huai's military officials. Before Zhu Zhi asked him to go there and the capital deployment department replaced his temporary dispatch, he took care of and monitored Xu Huai's many activities in Yingzhou City.
Of course, he will accompany you every step of the way.
Although Xiao Linshi was very unfavorable to Yue Ting and had no intention of moving to the south, when he withdrew from Yingzhou, he still tried his best to keep the facilities in the city intact, and also acquiesced to the surrender of the more than 3,000 Han troops who stayed in Yingzhou. There was still hope for Vietnam.
Ting was able to withstand the extravagant thoughts of the Red Husband Cavalry in Yunshuo.
If this is the case, the gap for the remnants of the Khitan clan to struggle will be slightly larger, and the Dangxiang people's intention to have both sides will be more likely to accommodate them.
At this time, the surrendered Han troops in Yingzhou were all forced to do hard labor, and the Han people in the city were also expelled. The houses were occupied by the generals of Xiao Sheng and Xuan Wu armies. After more than ten days, all the property that could be collected was collected.
Almost all were emptied.
The streets and alleys were very quiet after nightfall, and there were not many soldiers wandering around. However, there were two or three streets to the east of the Governor's Mansion that were brightly lit, with countless soldiers walking in and out.
Xu Huai glanced at the alley and saw the figures of men and women reflected in the windows of the many pavilions. He knew that this was a prostitute camp set up by the Yan army to comfort the lonely generals.
The Han army in Yingzhou obviously surrendered, but they were still regarded as prisoners of war.
Unlike other Han people who were driven out of the city, the wives and daughters of these Han soldiers were all sent to the prostitute camps as long as they were of suitable age.
The Great Viet Dynasty established Yue, suppressed military force with culture, and controlled military force with culture. In order to encourage the lower-level generals to fight bravely, a series of systems such as generous rewards and camp | prostitutes were established to compensate.
Liu Shizhong, Cai Yuanyou and the others did what they did in Yingzhou, and they had laws to follow. However, in Xu Huai's view, all these things were due to the fact that the grave of the Dayue Dynasty was not dug fast enough...
