The Xue brothers' scenes are clumsy and overused.

First of all, there are real miracles in this world. You can see miracles when you cross Yanshan Mountain to the north, walk to Luolongtan to the east, cross the South Ridge, and step through the poisonous desert... Even the Red Mountain in the southwest and the Mountain in the northwest

The Sea of ​​Bitterness is there, and tens of millions of people live in the Han River Basin.

You can have as many miracles as you want, whether they are good or bad. If you are really attracted by someone, you will be indispensable.

At the same time, miracles are often of little use.

This is because after Emperor Bai, the pattern of the four emperors was formed, and the competition in the mortal world became fierce. Especially after the ancestor emperor failed in his Eastern Expedition, and the subsequent drama of the four emperors each betting on their successors, it triggered some conflicts among mortals.

People with knowledge have a strong resistance and disgust towards the four emperors.

Otherwise, how could the Trinity Orthodox Church, which respects the three radiances and suppresses the four emperors, come from? How could the emperor claim to be the supreme emperor on land?

Including edicts on dragons, land seals, and the promotion of literary cultivation, all kinds of methods, all kinds of methods since the prosperous Tang Dynasty, seem to contain the actual resistance of mortals against the four emperors.

And the effect is quite remarkable, especially since the spread of Trinity Orthodoxy, there have been almost no large-scale divine manifestations in the land of China...most of them are the encounters of a very small number of people.

In short, no matter what the touching reasons behind it are, the final result is that in the past thousand years, divine intervention has gradually become less common in these familiar places. In this case, those who use these things to do tricks are deceiving some foolish people.

Being a husband is often looked down upon by quite a few people.

Therefore, when seeing the big white fish, not only Chen Bin felt disgusted in his heart, but also the people who had really recognized Xue Changxiong's military might couldn't help but feel mocking at this time.

However, Xue Changxiong had more experience after all and knew the embarrassment, so he waved his hand on the spot: "If you two have nothing to do, just throw the fish down and go to the front to set up camp!"

The fourth child, Xue Wanbi, was smarter and knew that things had gone too far, so he immediately ran away. The third child, Xue Wannian, was embarrassed for a while, threw away the big white fish after a while, and ran away full of fishy smell.

It's a small episode, hardly worth mentioning.

Then, the army rumbled and advanced, but it easily covered up many similar incidents.

No matter what, Xue Changxiong's personal hard power is there. In terms of origin, he is a member of the orthodox Guanlong military elite; in terms of cultivation, even if he has not reached the level of a master, he must have touched the threshold; in terms of talent, he was raised in the military camp.

In terms of qualifications, he was a general guarding one side before the Three Expeditions. By the time the Three Expeditions collapsed, he was the top general of the Wei Dynasty, second only to a few people who came to fight, otherwise he would not have been able to do so.

He will be appointed to take charge of the Hejian Camp.

Especially this march, because the fighter window of the cold flood season needs to be taken into consideration, the troops have also marched properly, and the progress is rapid along the way. It is inevitable to delay the plowing and spring plowing, but there are few dedicated looting operations... This kind of attitude, again

In the name of avenging Zhang Shiyu, the doubts of the local officials along the way were finally dispelled and they became cooperative.

Not only that, the army continued to move forward, and many states and counties sent more or less symbolic reinforcements. And two days later, when the troops crossed the Qingzhang River, there was even greater good news.

It came from the Dongdu direction that Xue Changxiong, who was not on the same side from a political point of view, gave positive and even strong feedback to the aid document sent to Dongdu before the war... After receiving Dongdu's clear Nanya decree,

Wu'an, Hengshan, Wei County, and Wuyang all responded. Messengers arrived in front of Xue Changxiong's army, indicating that the county guard would personally lead the elite county soldiers to come to the rescue. Wang Huaidu, the prefect of Ji County, would also dispatch local warehouses for flank support, and this

General Qu Tuda, who was directly under the control of Dongdu in Jijun, also led 10,000 elite troops to march eastward.

At this point, a rough calculation shows that by the time the army reaches Ban County, there will probably be another 40,000 to 50,000 troops.

"That's not how it was calculated."

Unexpectedly, Xue Changxiong seemed to have maintained a certain calmness until now. He entered the empty Changhe County of Pingyuan County and had a banquet in Changhe City that night. He heard the compliments but shook his head in public. "The county soldiers are actually not unbearable.

However, if the army gathers together and there are too many people, it will be difficult to command, let alone whether the war will be ready after they arrive with their troops..."

"That's the truth." The second lieutenant general of Youzhou Camp put down Luo Shu's warm wine bowl and blurted out almost instinctively. "Currently, it seems that the most effective reinforcement is General Qu Tuda from Ji County.

It is a combat force that can fight independently; as for the so-called soldiers from various counties, in addition to opening a new supply line from Wei County and Ji County, the most useful ones should be the local soldiers from the three counties of Pingyuan, Qinghe, and Bohai.

But I just want to use their knowledge of geography and climate to spread among the armies to serve as guides and guides..."

This is a big banquet before the war is about to begin. All the prominent people in the army are here. Under the bright lights, many prefectures and counties who were not ready to send reinforcements before hearing this are dissatisfied with the local officials.

They all took advantage of the situation and looked at Luo Shu coldly.

But the latter didn't care at all.

"General Luo said it well." Xue Changxiong also looked at Luo Shu, but he was full of appreciation. "But I still made a mistake. Isn't the most powerful reinforcement the eight thousand Youzhou cavalry? This battle is about to begin.

Rely on General Luo."

Luo Shu was overjoyed and quickly stood up to propose a toast, and Xue Changxiong also accepted it grandly.

But this time, even the generals of the Hejian camp were dissatisfied, including the eldest son of Li Cheng, the general manager of Youzhou, and Li Li, the first lieutenant general of Youzhou camp. They just sneered, but Luo Shu still pretended not to see it.

.

After a lot of excitement, Luo Shu sat down, but Chen Bin, the supervisor of the army, mentioned another thing: "Now that we have arrived in Pingyuan, we don't know why we don't see Pingyuan Tong guarding Qiantang? According to General Luo's words, he should be used.

, Bohai and Qinghe are not here either."

"If nothing else, I'm afraid Qian Tang hates us because of what happened to Zhang Shiyu." Xue Changxiong seemed to have had a few more drinks without any scruples.

But think about it, from Xue Changxiong's cognition and perspective, strong people with military skills and cultivation will be recognized by him. Although there are many people at this banquet, the only ones he values ​​​​are the Hejian Army.

His subordinates and the Youzhou reinforcements, and in the Youzhou reinforcements, Li Li is the son of his rival Li Cheng, he is both a rival and a junior, and the other Luo Shu is obviously in sync with each other, so what else is there to care about?

"If this is the case, how should we deal with it?" Chen Bin continued to ask sincerely.

"Don't worry about him." Xue Changxiong blurted out. "He is the governor of a county after all. If he doesn't come, let him die in Ande City... When the army comes in, we will directly recruit the county soldiers and civilians, and we will occupy the city. He can still

Can we stop it?"..."That's true." Chen Bin smiled. "What about Qinghe and Bohai?"

"The new governor of Bohai is a scribe. He took office temporarily and was frightened by what happened to the previous governor Zhang."

Send a document to remind Cao Shancheng to come as soon as possible."

Chen Bin nodded.

However, although there was no Cao Cao in this world, there was no delay. Only about two quarters of an hour later, when I was still drunk, I suddenly heard the announcement that Pingyuan Tongshou and Qinghe Tongshou had completed their arrival.

It's just that they didn't bring a large group of people.

Everyone flattered him one after another, saying it was due to General Xue's reputation. However, Xue Changxiong drank too much and did not bother to refute this time. He just waited for the two guards to come in.

After a moment, two people were indeed seen entering the hall. They were both relatively young. One Qian Tang was less than thirty years old, and the other Cao Shancheng was only forty years old. When thinking about their backgrounds, many people became more and more suspicious.

I couldn't hide my disdain, I just pretended to be ignorant while I was drunk, I didn't even salute, and no one gave up the seat in the front row.

The two of them didn't say much. They only saluted Xue Changxiong and hurriedly added two more seats inside the lobby door. After sitting down, Qian Tangwu drank to himself and didn't speak, while Cao Shancheng became troubled.

"General Xue." Cao Shancheng didn't drink either, but looked at him seriously with a cold air. "Have you received the officials from Dongdu and other counties?"

Xue Changxiong frowned.

It was Chen Bin who took the initiative to interface: "I received it naturally."

Cao Shancheng knew that the other party was Sima Supervisor of the Army, but ignored him and continued to talk to Xue Changxiong: "In that case, I would like to ask for a military order to go to the west alone to meet General Qu Tuda and several other county guards.

Side-to-side army..."

"Do you want to form an independent army?" Xue Changxiong quickly became alert.

"Yes." Cao Shancheng answered proudly. "I want to do something cheap..."

Xue Changxiong immediately turned cold.

Chen Bin glanced at it and turned to look at Cao Shancheng: "Did Governor Cao have private instructions from Dongdu? Or is it that the documents we received from Dongdu are different?"

With Zhang Shiyu gone, Xue Changxiong didn't need to worry about anyone in Hebei. Hearing this, his eyebrows stood up and he stared unceremoniously at the Qinghe Tongshou who had just arrived.

Cao Shancheng had no choice but to suppress his dissatisfaction, and turned to look at Chen Bin, slightly cupping his hands: "Chen Sima, I have not received any special documents, it is just a personal suggestion... You must know that the rebel army is hiding in the trenches and barriers, cowering in peace in Ban County.

In Changzhong, the camp is strong, and the army will gather at that time. Time is tight, but it cannot be easily dispatched, which is a waste of military power. Instead of doing this, it is better to divide the troops early, pass through Douzigang, and attack from the side and rear..."

"Why is Commander Cao contradicting himself?" Chen Bin laughed after hearing this. "Since you said that the rebel army set up a large camp between Ban County and Pingchang, with a battle line dozens of miles wide, why are you worried about wasting military power? And

Since you know that time is tight, why don't you use the main force of our Hejian Army to make a breakthrough, and follow up with the county soldiers to sweep in and deepen, instead of wasting time to assemble in the west? As for the hard work of crossing Douzigang, you don't know that they are alone under the freezing flood.

Why bother and go from the rear?"... Cao Shancheng was slightly startled, but before he could refute it, many generals of the Hejian Army over there burst into laughter with a strong sense of ridicule.

Amidst the laughter, Qian Tang ignored him and continued to drink. However, Cao Shancheng was so angry that he slammed the table and asked: "What kind of talk is Chen Sima talking about? The waste of military power is because he is worried that there are too many people and it is inconvenient to command. What does it have to do with the width of the battle line?"

Several counties set out late. If there is no one to supervise and urge them, and they are allowed to do their own thing, they may not be able to catch up at all. Not gathering is a waste of time! As for the subsequent surprise attack, it is to catch them off guard!"

Chen Bin's eyelids twitched and he was stunned. He immediately went to see Xue Changxiong, only to find that Xue Changxiong's face was already livid. He turned around and wanted to continue talking.

Cao Shancheng also suppressed his anger and prepared to argue with the opponent.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Qian Tang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up, smashed a bottle of wine on the ground, and became furious: "The imperial governor came to visit the marching director, how dare a group of lieutenants to act like monkeys?"

Standing in the middle like laughing and joking, is there no class law in the army?! Or is the Wei Dynasty already dead?!"

The noise suddenly disappeared, and the whole hall was completely silent. Then many people's faces turned red, filled with shame and anger.

Xue Changxiong also stood up slowly and stared at Qian Tang: "Qian Tongshou has a big temper. Since you know the class law, let me ask you, why are you so rude when you come to my camp?"

"Did I come to your camp for your personal reasons?" Qian Tang sneered, not afraid at all, but stood up to greet him, but skipped the topic of class law. "General Manager Xue led the army to quell the chaos, and we local county governors are subordinates

Generally speaking, one is for the Wei Dynasty, the other is for responsibilities, and the third is for the people in the territory... What kind of personal affairs does Mr. Xue have to take care of? How can he be as respectful as a domestic servant? "

At this time, Xue Changxiong already regretted that he knew the two people were resentful but still despised them so much that he caused trouble.

Chen Bin saw this and sighed helplessly: "Everyone, everyone, let me say a few words... I am the Sima Supervisor of the Army. This is a serious banquet to reward the army. It is so noisy and disorderly. Of course it is my fault for failing to give the two counties

It's my fault that I've been in the opposite seat and disturbed the conversation between you two and the governor... But the two county guards have to be reasonable. You came so late, everyone is already half drunk, and the table is so busy.

Mi, if you want to make room for the two of you, do you mean that we all need to move back together? What does this mean? Please forgive me."

As soon as the soft words came out, the atmosphere finally calmed down a bit, and Cao Shancheng seemed not to care about it, but just went to see Qian Tang who stood up for him.
To be continued...
