"That's fine!" Wang Xun drank the remaining wine in his cup with a smile and handed the wine cup to the bodyguard beside him. "Then wait until the next battle is won, and then have a good drink with General Ma! My commander
General Ma will certainly not be kept waiting too long.
"Follow the general, and you won't have to worry about having a drink to celebrate your victory!" Ma Yue reacted quickly and added with a smile.
Both of them had a bit of arrogance in their bones, and what they said was extremely arrogant. After saying that, they laughed at each other, and immediately the distance between them was shortened by a few minutes.
"How are you, are you getting used to living here? I have been busy dealing with Sun Xiaozhe the past few days. I didn't know you were coming, so I didn't say hello to Lao Zhao. If he neglects you, I hope you will
Don't take it personally." After laughing, Wang Xun found a stone to sit down on and asked slowly.
"No neglect, no neglect. The general's heart has never been so at ease as it has been in the past few days!" Ma Yue had long regarded himself as a member of the Anxi Army and responded repeatedly.
Wang Xun nodded slightly, then shook his head slightly, "But Lao Zhao only arranged for you to be a school captain, which is indeed a bit unfair. I have learned about the battle in front of the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum privately. In the whole battle, you were the only one.
You and the brothers under your command are worthy of the word "strong men", and the others..."
Hearing this, Ma Yue's nose suddenly became sore, and tears almost came out of his eyes. He quickly turned around, wiped it with his palm, and responded with choked sobs: "With the words of the general, brothers are under the spell of nine springs."
, I can rest in peace. I am not here to seek fame, I just want to, just want..."
He gritted his teeth and spoke out loud the truest thoughts in his heart, "Just to live like a man. Not to watch my fellow villagers being bullied by the rebels. For other things, I don't expect so much!"
"Okay, okay, what a good man!" Sha Qianli happened to be riding his horse around. Hearing Ma Yue's words, he couldn't help but clapped his hands in admiration. "Then you came to the Anxi Army at the right time. We have people of all kinds here.
Yes, but there is no coward!"
Wang Xun also admired Ma Yue's upright character very much. After thinking about it, he continued: "With your ability to lead troops, you should be more than enough to be a general. It's just that I don't have that many brothers here right now, so I can only be high."
The position is low. In this way, Xiaoqi Camp still lacks a deputy commander, why not..."
If it were before today, Ma Yue would never refuse Wang Xun's promotion. After all, everyone is motivated, and if they have more power, they will have more room to perform. But now, he is clearly aware of his own limitations.
. He quickly bowed to Wang Xun and said in a low voice: "Thank you, General, for your trust. But the general, the general has just arrived and is not familiar with many, many things. Why not, why not practice some time in the forward selection camp first?"
After all the rules of the Anxi Army are clarified, we can then find the general..."
These self-effacing words were much more difficult to say than the heroic words just now. Wang Xun was stunned when he heard it, and immediately understood what Ma Yue meant. He nodded and said with a smile: "That's okay. As the deputy commander of the Xiaoqi Battalion, I
I'll leave it to you. Whenever you think you are up to the task, just report to General Fang. He is an old man who came out of the White Horse Fort camp. He knows the military tactics by heart, but when the situation changes, he is slightly
There are some deficiencies. After you go there, you can just make up for his deficiencies in this aspect."
"Thank you, General!" Ma Yue bowed sincerely and saluted Wang Xun solemnly.
General Lang is the fifth rank. For him with the title of General Mingwei, he is still a high-ranking and low-level official. However, the generals in the Anxi Army are very different from those in Lingwu. In Lingwu, the fourth-rank civil and military officials
The streets are full of officials. A street patrol leader with only a hundred or so brothers may have a third-rank officer on his head. For the Anxi Army, a fifth-rank general can serve as the deputy commander of a battalion of soldiers and horses.
, when the battle comes, you can mobilize five regiments and a total of 1,500 brothers!
Immediately, several generals from the Xiaoqi Battalion came forward to greet their future new colleagues. General Ma Yue did not dare to neglect, and quickly stood up straight, and bowed his hands to everyone. Wang Xun waited patiently beside him, waiting for everyone to greet him.
After completing a set of necessary etiquette, he coughed again and said with a smile: "Since I have become an official of Mr. Wang, I have to do things for Mr. Wang. You have fought against the rebels before. You might as well tell me what happened today.
How are we doing in this battle?"
"Of course the general's use of troops is unpredictable!" Ma Yue knew that Wang Xun was testing himself, so he first said a word of praise, and then expressed the opinions of his three veterans without reservation.
, "However, when the general fought against Cui Qianyou some time ago, the rebels were much more difficult to deal with than today. So I don't dare to think that Sun Xiaozhe only has this ability. In order to avoid making mistakes in judgment, it will affect the general's next battle.
Deployment!”
"Yeah!" This judgment was similar to Wang Xun's own intuition, so he nodded lightly, "What else?!"
"Actually, these are not the general's own thoughts. They are the first to think of these three brigades under the general's command. They are all veterans of the Anxi Army and know the strength of their own side and the enemy's side well." Ma Yuebei
I am willing to take credit for others and report truthfully to Wang Xun, "All three of them feel that the rebels behaved abnormally today. The reason is probably that there is trouble in Chang'an City, or something big happened in Luoyang.
Sun Xiaozhe was in chaos, so he was completely defeated by the general before he could even hold on for half a day!"
"Indeed!" Wang Xun nodded, with a hint of admiration on his face, "According to reliable information, there is a big trouble in Luoyang. An Lushan wanted to make his youngest son his heir, but An Qingxu and his subordinate Wen Wu jointly resisted.
When he gets angry, he can no longer see clearly. Now he is basically unable to govern, and both government and military affairs have fallen into the hands of Yan Zhuang and Gao Shang."
"Luo, Luoyang..." Ma Yue was so surprised that he couldn't even speak. On the one hand, it was because of the civil strife of the rebels, and on the other hand, he didn't expect Wang Xun to tell such important news to a newcomer.
"Luoyang, if chaos breaks out in Luoyang first, then, wouldn't it be, wouldn't it be similar to the situation in the Tang Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty back then. The civil and military officials were focused on internal strife and had no time to worry about the war.
Things!"
"Yeah..." Wang Xun sighed softly.
"I deserve it if I don't live up to expectations." Sha Qianli's feelings for the Tang Dynasty were far less profound than those of Wang Xun. He curled his lips and walked forward, interjecting loudly. "Back then, the court of the Tang Dynasty was as chaotic as a pot of porridge, so it was given to An Lushan.
Opportunity. This time the Yan Kingdom in Anlu Mountain is in chaos. If we cannot seize it, we will not be able to live up to the God above us!"
"I'm afraid An Lushan himself couldn't have imagined that his Yan Kingdom would repeat the mistakes of the Tang Dynasty so quickly. But for us..." He took another long breath, and Wang Xun quickly expelled all his emotions.
Outside the body, "For us, this is indeed a rare opportunity. Lao Sha, go and call all the generals and generals here, let's discuss the next action plan!"
"No!" Sha Qianli clasped his fists and followed the order.
In the short time before he returned, Ma Yue hesitated and asked Wang Xun in a low voice: "The general has been here for almost half a month. I don't know what the situation is like over there in Lingwu.
The general, I still have some family members living near Lingwu, and I am a little worried about it."
These words should not have been said directly to Wang Xun, but Ma Yue believed in his coach's ambition. Sure enough, Wang Xun did not think there was anything wrong with this question at all, just as he had expected. After thinking for a while, he replied in a low voice: "You can go
Find Lao Zhao, the military commander Zhao. Ask him to send a few brothers to pick up your family members. There will be nothing in Lingwu for a short time, so you don’t have to worry. Guo Ziyi has given up on Jingxing Pass and half of Hedong, and rushed back to escort him at starry night.
Even if Cui Qianyou can raise the military rations to go north again, he may not be Guo Ziyi's opponent!"
"In that case, will Cui Qianyou become angry and rush over to help Sun Xiaozhe in the battle?!" Ma Yue finally let go of the last concern in his heart and began to think about the Anxi Army wholeheartedly.
"Probably not!" Wang Xun hesitated for a moment and answered with a bit of uncertainty. "There is a deep grudge between Cui Qianyou and Sun Xiaozhe. If he rushes here rashly, I'm afraid the latter will think he is right.
Chang'an has something up his sleeve. Besides, Guo Ziyi is also a veteran of many battles. If Cui Qianyou dares to show his back to him, he will definitely be swallowed up to the point where no bones and dregs are left!"
"Can you judge how many troops Sun Xiaozhe will have left after today's battle?" Once he devoted himself wholeheartedly, Ma Yue gradually forgot about the status gap between himself and Wang Xun and asked unceremoniously.
Wang Xun didn't feel dissatisfied at all. He thought about it and responded in a low voice, "There should be between 15,000 and 20,000. But there are veterans and recruits among them, and their quality varies."
"Where's our side? If we include the brothers from the Selection Camp, there should be more than 20,000?!" Ma Yue raised his head and looked into Wang Xun's eyes, filled with longing.
"You mean, I will lead the army to attack Chang'an City?" Wang Xun quickly raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise.
He was already brave enough, but Ma Yue was just a newborn calf. Hearing the coach asking for advice, he nodded and responded loudly: "You don't have to use all veterans to fight. At this moment, the general, with the power of victory, occupied the rebel position.
At this time of civil strife in the army, why not push the battle line directly to the city of Chang'an with all your strength? Even if you don't attack the city immediately, at least Sun Xiaozhe will not have a chance to relax! The last general, the last general, this is just a little ignorance, how to use troops specifically,
Please let the general decide."
The last kind words were directly ignored by Sha Qianli and others who came over. All the generals bowed in unison and loudly suggested to Wang Xun: "This opportunity cannot be missed, please make a decision early!"
Seeing the heroic spirit of the generals, Wang Xun clapped his palms together a few times and laughed loudly: "Everyone is right, this opportunity cannot be missed! Inform the brothers to form a team, and we will block the door of Sun Xiaozhe's house right now!"
