Chapter 375: They are going! The gathering of the dark side!
It was as if Shen Lian was not going to lead an expedition, but to have fun.
In fact, for Shen Lian, the early stage was similar.
After all, the external commander-in-chief is Xue Rengui.
His mission is just to assist Xue Rengui.
But everyone who knows the inside story will know that it is he who is really talking.
Everyone, including the envoys, knew this.
But this does not prevent Xue Rengui from still being the commander-in-chief of the army.
"Rengui, after we meet up with the army, please stop following me."
As Shen Lian walked away, he said: "To the outside world, you are the commander-in-chief of the army. Everyone will pay attention to you. And there is no telling when the army will join us. What you have to do is to integrate those armies."
"If I have instructions, I will take the initiative to find you."
"You should be aloof and forceful. When it's time to show your power to other army commanders, do so."
"We only need one voice for this trip, and that is your voice."
"So, let me hold them all down on the road. If anyone is not convinced, just challenge them and give them a beating."
"In short, before you really fight against Nanzhao, you must have a unified voice. No matter what decision you make, no one can refute it."
Xue Rengui nodded slightly and said, "I understand."
"Don't worry, Mr. Shen, I will never let you down."
Xue Rengui understood that the reason why he got this opportunity was because Shen Lian fought for him.
So he was very grateful to Shen Lian.
He also obeyed Shen Lian's words.
Shen Lian nodded slightly: "That's good. You are very smart and have potential. What you lack now is just experience, and this time is your opportunity to accumulate experience and grow quickly."
"besides……"
As Shen Lian walked away, he said, "Xugou, as the deputy general, you should cooperate well with Xue Rengui this time."
"You are the official spokesman for the Twelve Shadow Thorns. Don't hide it and smear the name of the Twelve Shadow Thorns. If there is anything you can teach Rengui, please teach me. What you originally learned was for Those who fight."
"In addition, you have no practical experience. You can give advice based on the knowledge you have learned, but don't make random suggestions."
"There is a difference between talking on paper and actual combat. Don't be careless."
"This action is an extremely rare opportunity for both Rengui and you. Do you understand?"
Xu Gou nodded quickly and said, "Don't worry, young master, I understand everything."
Xu Gou has been following Shen Lian for a long time, so he naturally knows that this opportunity is hard-won.
Although he is not very smart, he has learned some skills after following him for a long time.
At this point, you naturally know what you should do.
Shen Lian nodded slightly: "That's good, then let's do it."
Shen Lian doesn't need to say much. Xue Rengui and Xu Gou are not fools. Just one explanation is enough.
There is no point in saying too much.
Everyone quickly arrived at the gate of Chang'an City.
Here, he saw many familiar faces.
Li Shimin is here.
Fang Xuanling is here.
Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and others are here.
Shen Lian hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to Li Shimin: "I have met your Majesty."
Li Shimin hurriedly stepped forward and helped Shen Lian up. Looking at Shen Lian's dress, he smiled and said, "You don't look like you are going to fight, but you are going to relax."
Shen Lian smiled and said: "This is just for relaxing. I am a civil servant, so I can just hide behind it."
Li Shimin and others were speechless for a while.
Are you still a civil servant?!
Your kung fu is much better than that of a general.
Of course, Li Shimin was very happy to hear Shen Lian's words.
After all, he was afraid that something would happen to Shen Lian.
If Shen Lian could really hide behind him, he would feel relieved.
But... based on Li Shimin's understanding of Shen Lian, would Shen Lian really be in danger and hide behind?!
He took a deep breath, patted Shen Lian's shoulder lightly, and said, "Work hard. If you encounter difficulties that you cannot overcome, come back."
"It doesn't matter even if we fail, Datang can afford to lose."
Shen Lian smiled and said: "Everyone sends blessings, why does your Majesty say these things instead?"
Li Shimin rolled his eyes and waved his hands angrily: "Okay, let's go, it's an eyesore here."
"Hahaha."
Shen Lian laughed loudly, then raised his hands and said loudly to Li Shimin and others: "My lords, the country will not change, and the green water will flow forever. We will see you when we return!"
There was no sadness in the farewells to Li Shimin and the others.
Shen Lian doesn't like sadness either.
After all, it's not like he won't come back.
When Li Shimin and others do this, they always give him the feeling of setting a flag.
Therefore, he just made a few jokes to make the atmosphere better, and then strode away.
The army was already waiting outside Chang'an City.
Ten thousand elite troops, as well as some logistics troops, stood outside Chang'an City.
After seeing Shen Lian and Xue Rengui arriving, they all bowed to them: "I've met the commander-in-chief!"
Xue Rengui looked at Shen Lian.
Shen Lian smiled and said: "What do you want me to do? You are the commander-in-chief of the Qing Dynasty. From now on, Rengui, you have to shoulder the burden."
"How many of these 10,000 troops and thousands of logistics troops can come back alive is up to you."
Xue Rengui instantly felt like a big mountain was pressing on his shoulders.
But he was neither timid nor afraid.
He just took a deep breath and immediately walked towards the army.
He wants to get ahead, he doesn't want to live like this all his life.
Master Shen won him an opportunity that no one else could get.
He will definitely catch it!
We must not let Master Shen down.
Likewise... we cannot let down these soldiers who believe in us.
With these more than 10,000 people, he will do his best to let as many people leave as possible, so many will come back.
Xue Rengui went to boost morale.
Shen Lian and others were watching quietly here.
Looking at the young general in white robes, feeling the aura exuding from him, he couldn't help but say: "Although General Xue is young, he gives people a great sense of security. I have a hunch that General Xue will definitely become the leader of the Tang Dynasty in the future." of a famous general."
Shen Lian smiled and said: "Famous general? No, a famous marshal!"
"Famous handsome man?"
Sishe was shocked and said hurriedly: "Young master, do you think General Xue is a handsome man?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! A handsome talent and a general are completely different.
What a general needs is bravery, the ability to lead a small army to fight a victorious battle.
But handsome, that's different.
The commander must take into account everything, not only allocating manpower reasonably according to the situation of each general, but also rationally determining tactics according to the situation on the battlefield.
It can be said that handsome talents must not only have the ability to recognize people, but also have far-sightedness.
This really isn't something everyone can do.
At present, in the entire Tang Dynasty, only Li Jing can do this.
Li Jing is not called the military god of the Tang Dynasty, but he is not called casually.
There are also reasons for this.
So Si She was really surprised that his young master actually had such great confidence in Xue Rengui, who had not yet experienced a war.
This confidence is really incredible.
There's a lot of trust.
Shen Lian looked at the soldiers whose morale was aroused and kept shouting, and said with a smile: "Whether he is a handsome man or a general, this experience is enough for us to see clearly."
"In short, I haven't seen anyone wrong so far, so... we will wait and see whether I am right or wrong this time."
After listening to Shen Lian's words, Sishe looked at Xue Rengui again, with more scrutiny in her eyes.
Before, he only regarded Xue Rengui as a follower like them.
But now, he found that his young master treated Xue Rengui differently than he treated them.
Although Xue Rengui is a follower, it is obvious that his young master is not prepared to let Xue Rengui follow him all the time.
……………………
My young master wants to cultivate a handsome man who can succeed Li Jing for Datang!
This meaning is completely different.
Sishe didn't know why Shen Lian looked at Xue Rengui so differently, but he believed in his young master's vision, so he would also look at Xue Rengui secretly next.
He will go and see what kind of ability Xue Rengui has, which is worthy of the young master's training.
"Get on your horse and let's go!"
At this time, Xue Rengui's roar came directly.
Tens of thousands of elite soldiers immediately mounted their horses.
The movements are uniform and uniform, giving the impression that these ten thousand people are the same person.
Its elite can also be seen from it.
Xue Rengui looked at Shen Lian at this time.
Shen Lian smiled and nodded. He immediately got on his horse and said, "Let's go."
Xue Rengui shouted directly: "The army is setting off."
Tens of thousands of elite troops just left Chang'an City.
The expedition to Nanzhao finally officially kicked off.
Three days later.
Nanzhao, a certain underground secret room.
A long table is located in the center of the secret room.
There are six chairs on both sides of the table, and one chair directly in front of the table.
At this time, there are people sitting on three of these chairs.
The remaining five chairs are empty.
And on the chair at the front, an old man with gray hair wearing a white robe, a mask on his face, sat there.
At this time, the old man looked around and said: "The Tang Dynasty has reached unification with other countries and has begun to send troops to Nanzhao."
"According to their speed, they may all gather at the Nanzhao border in two days and formally launch an attack on Nanzhao."
"What do you think should be done about this?"
The voice fell.
A burly man with a scar on his face grinned and said: "Since they dare to come, then we will just let them come back without coming back!"
"hehe."
Suddenly, a person walked out of the shadows, it was Dark Star Yin Yuan.
The one-eyed thin man sneered: "Tianji, be smart when you speak. Intelligence shows that the Tang Dynasty directly controlled all the countries, and a total of 900,000 troops attacked Nanzhao. Do you think you can kill them?"
The original Tianji of the Beidou Society was a woman.
But after the death of Lao Tian Jiji, the Beidou Society conducted a new round of screening.
In the end, this burly man became the new Tianji.
Yuheng, Tianquan, Yaoguang, and Tianxuan who were controlled by Dali Temple who died at the hands of Shen Lian before, will all have new Stars selected during this period after their death.
According to the rules of the Beidou Club, the Beidou Club cannot lack Stars.
Therefore, once a star person dies, a new star person will be selected as quickly as possible.
Thus replenishing the ranks of the Stars.
Of course, it is not that easy to become a star person.
For example, when we were in Chang'an before, there were candidates for the new Tianquan. They had to perform tasks and complete the tasks before they could become the new Tianquan.
But that candidate was very unlucky and was killed by Shen Lian.
So, he failed.
And now this new Tianji has also been tested by missions.
The fact that he can pass such a difficult task proves his strength and that he is qualified to become a new star bearer.
At this time, these five people, Tianshu, Kaiyang, and Xintianji sitting on the chairs in the light, as well as Dongming and Yinyuan hiding in the dark, are currently the main persons in charge of the Nanzhao base.
Of course, there is a Dark Star who is also in Nanzhao, but that person is a veteran Sequencer, and he is currently pretending to be the Emperor of Nanzhao and sitting in the palace, so he rarely cares about the affairs here...
And here, Beichen, who has just arrived not long ago, is currently taking care of their business.
Of course, no one knows whether this Beichen is the real Beichen or a puppet of Beichen.
But Beichen actually came here, which shows how much Beichen values this place.
This new star was officially supported by Beichen.
Only those Stars who are recognized by Beichen can become real Stars. Otherwise, even if they pass the assessment task, but Beichen doesn't nod, they are not considered Stars.
The entire Nanzhao and the current lineup of the Beidou Club is so gorgeous.
The leader of the Beidou Society, Beichen.
The veteran dark star sequencers are Beichen, Dongming, Yinyuan, Emperor Nanzhao, Tianshu, and Kaiyang.
New sequencer, new Tianji.
Of the ten stars, there are seven here, and almost all of them are dispatched.
From this we can also see the significance of Nanzhao to the Beidou Society.
The burly Xin Tianji, when he heard the one-eyed Yin Yuan's words, just smiled and said: "Yin Yuan, I'm not stupid. Of course I know there are as many as 900,000 of them."
"But war can never be won with more people."
"Not to mention, these 900,000 people come from 90 countries!"
"How much combat effectiveness do you think an army with ninety wills can have?"
"I even think that they can't form an effective attack at all. As long as they encounter a slight setback, they will bang..."
Xin Tianji's fist turned into a palm, and he said with a smile: "It turned into a pile of loose sand and was immediately defeated."
Although Xin Tianji looks very burly, he seems to be very reckless.
But everyone present knew that Xin Tianji must not be regarded as a reckless common man.
Otherwise, sooner or later, Xin Tianji will eat up all the bones.
Since Xin Tianji was able to pass the Star Master's assessment, this in itself has proven his ability.
The reason why Yin Yuan and Xin Tianji had a few words of quarrel was because they didn't seem to be getting along well.
With a snap, the dagger in Tianshu's hand pierced directly into the table.
He looked at everyone and said, "Let's stop talking nonsense. No matter how much we talk, it can't compare to Beichen's words."
Tianshu looked directly at Beichen and said, "Beichen, just tell us exactly what you want us to do."
"We know our capabilities well. If you ask us to do something locally, we are sure of it."
"But if you ask us to fight a war with millions of troops, this is obviously beyond our capabilities."
