Eight of the positions of the ten battalion commanders have been decided, and everyone knows this.
There are only two positions left, namely Tian Chang, Wen Lianmu, and Lei Zhanqian who can compete with Gao Zhe. As for the geniuses outside Qi State, they are not within the scope of his consideration at all.
This sudden war may seem vigorous, but in essence, it is just a collision between the younger generations of Qi State and Jing State. Both sides want to test the quality of the other, but are unwilling to intensify the intensity.
If a hegemonic country fights with all its strength, a country like Xu will probably be reduced to rubble.
Therefore, from the perspective of Xiang and Xu, they would rather act out this battle themselves, at least there will be compensation from the overlord after the war.
There are two evils, one has to choose.
That's why the current situation has arisen. The young talents of Qi Jing and the two countries have gone to Xingyue Yuan together. It can be called a competition among the stars.
Therefore, Yu Que, the commander-in-chief of the Dou'e Army, only watched the spectacle at Wanhe Temple, but did not come to the battlefield of Xingyue Plains. This is a reflection of this attitude. In fact, he was exerting his power on the world, not on Qi.
On the Xingyue Plain, all the countries except Qi Jing are just playing side roles.
With Bao Bozhao and other eight people firmly seated on the Diaoyutai, Gao Zhe thought that by being the first to speak, he might be able to gain face and secure a quota by others.
After all, Gao Zhe is one of the few famous sons who has established his position as heir, and his social circle is very important. Yan Fu, Jiang Wang, Chong Xuansheng, Li Longchuan... they all often go drinking and having fun. Although yesterday There are some minor conflicts, but they do not affect the overall situation. The Gao family and the Chongxuan family have interests involved, and Gao Zhe is also of great investment value!
But as soon as Gao Zhe finished speaking, Lei Zhanqian, who was sitting diagonally across from him, immediately raised his eyes and looked at him.
He sits like a tiger.
Those eyes are like an angry sea.
"Written or martial arts, you choose." Lei Zhan said.
Gao Zhe:……
Are you fucking sick!?
There are still two spots left. As soon as I opened my mouth, you came up and started to compete with me?
I’ve talked about my advantages, and you can also talk about yours. Can’t we discuss it together?
Why don't you take a look at who is vying for the next spot, pick the softest persimmon and then pinch it?
This is unreasonable, it’s too much to deceive others!
But under such circumstances, it is impossible for him to show weakness when he comes up, otherwise "contributing to Daqi" will become a joke.
So he sneered: "So what about literary competition? What about military competition?"
In fact, after hearing Gao Zhe's speech, Wen Lianmu originally wanted to say, "I'm not sleepy when it comes to the art of war." But seeing Lei Zhanqian speaking so heatedly, he restrained himself first.
Hearing Gao Zhe's harsh words at this time, he became more energetic and pricked up his ears happily.
Gao Zhe's biggest problem is that he can't figure it out. In this regard, he is exactly the same as the deposed Gao Qing. In the entire Jinghai Gao family, perhaps the most outstanding figure of the younger generation is Gao Jing, but it is a pity that he has been trapped in the secret realm of Tianfu.
And Gao Jing also has the same problem. This is probably the problem of the entire Jinghai Gao family. They regard Emperor Qi's love for Concubine Jing as the source of authority that the Jinghai Gao family will not weaken, so they actually regard themselves as the top aristocratic family in Da Qi.
Last time they were able to get two places in the Tianfu Secret Realm, and Gao Shaoling could easily secure the position of Red Tail Governor... These things gave them the illusion.
But this foundation is extremely unstable.
A person like Jiang Wuqi, who is of the same flesh and blood as a king and father, will fall out of favor one day. Can Concubine Jing really be favored forever?
Not to mention there is a fatal weakness: Concubine Jing has no children.
Gao Zhe's value is not as great as he imagined.
Yan Fu, Li Longchuan, and the others kept taking him to play because he could handle it fairly well before, not because of how great his Gao family was.
Even a foreigner like Lin Xian could see the rift between him and people like Zhong Xuansheng at a glance, but he himself only thought it was a trivial matter.
Of course there are many people in the world who are willing to give Jinghai Gao family face, but unfortunately there are not many in this military tent right now.
Lei Zhanqian didn't slap him in the face, but Wen Lianmu also got involved.
Don’t you see that even Tian Chang is there eager to try?
And for a person like Lei Zhanqian, since he raised his hand, his slap would naturally not hold any force, and he said without thinking: "Wen Jie is the two of us catching each other and fighting. Wu Jie is the two of us leading the army to fight. Life and death are determined by fate, and we don't blame each other." .You just have to choose one, I can do it!"
Speaking of which, Lei Zhanqian was originally qualified to secure a general position. Although the Lei family was not a top-notch family, he was the cousin of Jiang Wuqi, the master of the Immortality Palace.
Either Jiang Wuqi succeeds or Jiang Wuqi fails. He and Jiang Wuqi are destined to be both prosperous and destructive.
The ups and downs of Cui Zhu's assassination case seemed to have ended that morning in front of Ziji Palace.
But the ripples caused by this have never stopped in Qi State.
At least for the Changsheng Palace, this is the case...
Compared with Changle Palace, Huaying Palace, and Yangxin Palace, the influence of Changsheng Palace has obviously plummeted.
Although the emperor had forgiven Jiang Wuqi, he was no longer as affectionate with the eleventh prince as before.
In the past, he was summoned to the palace to accompany him to the palace every once in a while, but since Cui Zhu's case, it has never happened again.
As a result, Lei Zhanqian still needs to fight for it on the Xingyue Plain.
only……
What a shame it would be for Lei Zhanqian to compete with upstarts like Gao Zhe for a spot!
Therefore, he opened his mouth and said that life and death were fateful, and he did not spare any face for Gao Zhe.
Gao Zhe:……
Fuck your mother. Where is the word "literary" in this choice between literary and martial arts? Besides fighting hard, fighting hard!
But how dare he fight against Lei Zhanqian?
Although Jiang Wang beat Lei Zhanqian just like beating a child, he is also qualified to fight for the chance to go to Guanhetai!
Gao Zhe was so embarrassed that his face started to sore, but fortunately he had been embarrassed once yesterday and was no longer unfamiliar with this feeling.
He resisted and twitched the corner of his mouth, and said reluctantly: "It's a joke to say that civil servants are better than martial arts and have no complaints about life and death. There are still two commander positions, and we can take one each. There is no need to make a lose-lose situation and make our faces look ugly. ."
Speaking of which, I was already giving in, and could only hold on to a layer of skin.
Apart from being ridiculous, it is actually a bit pitiful.
But he simply divided the positions. How could Wen Lianmu and Tian Chang agree?
"I don't know if Brother Lei can get a position." Tian Chang said in a calm tone: "But Brother Gao, you have completely excluded me, which is still open to question. Otherwise... if you are more civilized than military, you Also choose one with me?"
This low-key and even dull person, when he occasionally shows his fangs, has a cold look!
Wen Lianmu smiled and said: "If we lead the army to hedge, I don't mind facing anyone."
No one is willing to give in!
Gao Zhe quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind and said decisively: "Since Brother Tian said so, I will compete with you for a quota. Brother Lei and Brother Wen compete for a quota. Everyone contributes to Daqi, and the outcome is insignificant. Resentment!"
He wasn't a complete idiot, he was quite clever, otherwise he wouldn't have thought of pulling Jiang Wanghu's skin to press Lin Xian.
This statement seems fair, but in fact it changes the format of four people competing for two spots into the format of two people competing for one spot.
He thought that his cultivation was not as good as that of Lei Zhanqian, and his leadership was not as good as that of Wen Lianmu. If four people competed with each other, he would most likely gain nothing.
But competing for two is different, because the "persimmon" who seems to be the best among the four has been naturally classified into a group by him.
This was the best choice he could think of in a short period of time.
Lei Zhanqian didn't express his position, because it didn't matter who he faced. Wen Lianmu didn't say a word either. When it came to leading the army into battle, he had his own pride and asked himself that he would not lose against Lei Zhanqian.
Tian Chang was even more silent. Gao Zhe treated him as a weakling, and he couldn't be more satisfied.
But Zhong Xuan Sheng's voice sounded at just this moment: "No, you actually only have one general position left."
Gao Zhe looked over in surprise and anger.
Chong Xuan Sheng did not look at him. He leaned on a special large chair and looked around. Shi Shiran said: "I believe everyone already knows about Jiang Wang. I originally advised him to practice with peace of mind. But now that the world knows about it, we should come to Xingyueyuan and return a gift to the people of Jingguo..."
"I have sent someone to invite him. He should be here within two days."
Having said this, he smiled and said: "The number one inner palace in Qing Dynasty came to occupy a battalion. I guess no one will object, right?"
"Of course not!" Someone immediately responded: "With Jiang Wang here, what does Xu San mean? What about Wang Kun? What is Pei Hongjiu afraid of?"
The person who spoke was Lin Jie, the genius of the Yi Kingdom.
Zhong Xuansheng glanced at him and was surprised that he praised him so accurately.
Yi State is a small country in the south of Chang State, not far from Tianxing Cliff, and is deeply influenced by Legalist thought. People in this country respect upright and unyielding qualities, and generally have a more sincere spirit.
The names mentioned by Lin Jie are all famous talents in the inner realm of Jingguo.
It's not arrogant to say he is arrogant. After all, Jiang Wang has achieved the reputation of being the number one inner palace in ancient and modern times. In the inner palace, there is really no need to be modest.
If Lin Jie mentioned a prodigy from the Outer Building Realm like Jing Guo Chen Shuan, he would be suspected of flattering him. Now, he grasps the scale very delicately... He is a talent.
Chong Xuan Sheng was in the mood to comment on characters here, but Gao Zhe was ruined by one sentence.
Looking at Chong Xuan Sheng, he forced a smile and said: "A Sheng, stop joking. No one from Jiang Wang is here."
Chong Xuan Sheng looked at him with a smile: "I never joke with people I don't know well."
As soon as these words came out, the position was clear and the boundaries were clear. From now on, Gao Zhe would no longer play with him.
Gao Zhe was stunned for a moment, unable to react for a moment.
"Although Jiang Wang has a great reputation, it is not appropriate to occupy the main force of a battalion when no one is present. This is a battlefield, not a place to play with. We are here to decide life and death, and decide the outcome. We are not drawing a sandbox and falling into the trap.
Chess piece. He wants to take a seat... Don't you know if you can come earlier?" A voice suddenly said from a few rows of seats behind.
"Who is this person?" Chong Xuansheng asked the people around him.
"Zhao Guo Gu Yan!" The young man with a stubborn expression said loudly.
He glared at Zhong Xuan Sheng very hard, refusing to show any signs of weakness.
Among the countries in the Eastern Region, if we want to rank the small countries that admire Qi the most, Zhao will definitely be at the top of the list. Compared with Yang State back then, it is even closer to Qi. Regardless of those in power, Zhao
The vast majority of the people in the country are eager to merge with Qi.
Unexpectedly, in such a country, there can be a person with temperament who dares to question the famous genius from Qi State.
Li Longchuan stood up directly, walked to this person, raised his chin: "Go out, let's talk."
Too straightforward and too imposing.
Gu Yan was obviously stunned for a moment and couldn't help turning his head to look at Mrs. Xidu.
Mrs. Xidu, who had the highest cultivation level and the highest nominal status in the tent, was sitting quietly next to the commander's seat, indifferent to this.
Obviously she is very clear-headed and knows who is taking the lead in this war.
And those who are not sober should wake up after seeing her attitude.
Gu Yan's face turned blue and white, but he finally gritted his teeth, got up and walked outside the military tent.
"Then I'll chat with you!" he said fiercely.
The two of them left the military tent one after the other.
No one in the account expressed an opinion on this.
It has to be said that Gu Yan's question has no problems in theory.
But the essence of this matter is to question the dominance of Qi's genius on this battlefield.
Therefore, Li Longchuan did not reason with him at all, but directly used his power to force him out of the tent. This was to target the bullseye and break through the enemy's power.
Gu Yan either wants to fight for rights for a small country, or he wants to take power himself...
Li Longchuan was too lazy to care. As the son of the Li family of Shimen, he had the right not to care.
The position of the Tenth Battalion released by Fang You is definitely more important than its current value. Otherwise, Zhongxuan Sheng would not have had to fight for Jiang Wang.
Needless to say, Jiang Wang, who has achieved the greatest imperial power in ancient and modern times, has a bright future. When he returns to Qi, he will not only take whatever he wants, but also be rewarded by the emperor.
Ordinarily, general interests should not be taken too seriously.
But now Gao Zhe, Tian Chang, Wen Lianmu and the others are furious with each other. Lei Zhanqian, who originally didn't seem to be planning to participate in the Xingyue Plains battlefield, hurriedly arrived before tonight...
I think they all received some rumors.
Based on some of the news he heard, Li Longchuan was sure of the situation and decisively stepped forward to cooperate without even looking at Chong Xuan Sheng.
In Chong Xuan Sheng's heart...he only had two words: "save worry".
As expected of a family of generals, someone who has learned the art of war since he was a child. He has much less worries than Jiang Wangke!
Chong Xuansheng and Li Longchuan easily controlled the situation here, while Yan Fu watched on without hesitation.
Gao Zhe, however, was trapped in a violent mood and could not break free for a long time.
There was absolutely no way he could compete with Lei Zhanqian, and he knew this very well. If Jiang Wang also wanted to occupy a general position, then he would not be able to take charge of the camp this time.
He came to the Xingyue Plains battlefield this time just to gild, get glory, and become famous.
How can we stop here?
If he just gives up in disgrace, then why should he suffer this hardship? Isn't it cool enough to be a local emperor in Jinghai County?
He knew that he had done evil to Chong Xuan Sheng by dragging Jiang Wang into a tiger skin while he was away. But he did not expect that the other party would be so ruthless!
Is this really necessary?
Must he, Gao Zhe, be pushed to the opposite side?
Shouldn’t the interest relationship between the Gao family and the Chongxuan family be ignored?
But Chong Xuan Sheng's side made no sense at all. He could only turn his head and look at Yan Fu: "Brother Yan, Jiang Wang is already the number one in ancient and modern times. He has become a legendary figure. He has no shortage of these two reputations. Even if it comes later. , it can be easily arranged in any camp. We are all friends, is this necessary?"
Yan Fu looked at him deeply, and finally said warmly: "You know Jiang Wang's character. If you open your mouth and enter his camp, you can take the position of deputy general."
There were a lot of hurtful things to say, but Yan Fu finally saved him face.
But Gao Zhe didn't feel relieved at all, he only felt ridiculous.
I, the heir to the Jinghai Gao family, who is so dignified, can I go to any camp to win the deputy general? Do I still need to ask Jiang Wang?
"You have to force me, don't you?" he gritted his teeth.
Yan Fu shook his head and laughed, but stopped talking.
Just because he is gentle with others does not mean that he is afraid of trouble. He once said that he would cut off any gossip, regardless of the person's origin, how could he be afraid of trouble?
Just keep the last bit of kindness and don't care about it.
This is similar to the tolerance adults have for children.
Realizing this, Gao Zhe almost broke his teeth.
What he hates most is that he feels he doesn't get enough respect from this group of people, and now even Yan Fu treats him like this!
But it wasn't until Chong Xuan Sheng opened his mouth that he knew what "being disrespected" really meant.
"You seem to think that if Jiang Wang doesn't occupy this camp, you will have a position." Chong Xuansheng, who had been holding back his anger for a long time, looked coldly at Gao Zhe, who was gritting his teeth: "Are you better than Wen Lianmu or Tian Chang? People are more valuable. You know yourself, but I think you don’t seem to know your own weight at all! It won’t be harder for Tian Chang to kill you than to kill a chicken. Do you still think you picked a soft persimmon?”
Tian Chang smiled and said nothing. Although he was surprised by Chong Xuan Sheng's sensitivity, he didn't show it on his face.
And what Zhong Xuansheng said immediately made Gao Zhe angry, and the resentment he had accumulated for a long time suddenly exploded: "What about Jiang Wang!? Does he have three heads and six arms? I ate and drank with him, but I didn't even look at him.
Can’t tell the difference between him! I don’t know if his legendary record is true or not!”
"Challenge the legend of the old man of Tianfu? Don't you think it's ridiculous? All the evils, flesh-cutting, uncovering, beheading, who is not a strong man in the Wailou Realm, a being full of evil? But Jiang Wang can fight one against four? Those three human demons
Was he really in his prime when he was killed by Jiang Wang? Or was he in his prime after being suppressed by Yu Beidou? From Linzi to overseas, Jiang Wang is used to building momentum, are you guys going to lie to yourselves too?"
"Your hostility towards Jiang Wang is really inexplicable and difficult to understand." Yan Fu frowned and said, "Has he ever offended you?"
Gao Zhe was really fed up with the contempt of these people, and was ready to break the pot and break his face completely. If Chong Xuan Sheng and the others didn't show him any face, how could he, the heir to a big family, still have to continue to support him?
Coax them?
"You can't justify it, so why do you say this?" He sneered: "What we want to talk about is not whether he offended me, but why he won the title of general with just one name when no one was present! He is
Who? Is he good enough?!"
"It seems that you have been grudged against Jiang Qingyang for a long time." Chong Xuansheng said quietly: "When he comes, should I ask him to apologize to you and ask him what made you unhappy?"
"Then let's wait until he comes!" Gao Zhe said coldly.
At this time, behind Wang Yiwu, a voice said: "All evil, peeling off the flesh, uncovering the face, beheading, when the four demons besieged Jiang Wang, they were all in their prime. This is absolutely true."
Everyone followed the sound and looked, but it was Lin Xian, the genius of Rong Kingdom.
Gao Zhe suddenly burst into flames, with the aura of quarreling with other scholars, and laughed: "You know again?"
Facing Lin Xian, he spared no room: "Does he know that you are licking Jiang Qingyang like this here? Will he touch your head and reward you with bones?"
"Of course I can know."
In response to Gao Zhe's insult, Lin Xian remained neither humble nor overbearing. She looked directly at him and said clearly: "Because when the four demons besieged Jiang Wang, I was at the scene and could see it clearly! I, Lin Xian, was practicing swordplay when I was three years old.
, a peer of Juerong Country with fifteen crowns, seventeen swords on the river platform, fighting against the heroes of the world. Although I failed to win the title, I don’t think anyone can underestimate me. Gao Zhe, ask yourself, can you take the sword from me today?
What are you relying on to humiliate me like this? Rely on the power of Qi State? The power of Jinghai Gao family? When will you be able to rely on yourself like Jiang Wang and question Jiang Wang's record again!"
"You said..." Mrs. Xidu, who had remained silent, was also a little moved: "When Jiang Wang fought against the four demons alone, were you there?"
"The battlefield is in the Rock Valley of Duanhun Gorge. At that time, I hid in the Xiantian Li Chaos Formation and witnessed that battle with my own eyes!"
Lin Xian said categorically: "The magical power of retribution for all evils, the magical power of cutting flesh, the magical power of uncovering the human face, and the extremely evil hungry ghost body of a beheaded man and demon, are all extremely tyrannical. Jiang Wang was in that battle
The strength shown here has completely exceeded the limit of my imagination of the inner palace realm. I have never seen such a person in the history books! I, Lin Xian, have always been dissatisfied with others, but for Jiang Qingyang, I am convinced and can only look up to him!"
The whole place was silent.
Even Gao Zhe had to cool down and was able to consider himself carefully as Chong Xuansheng said.
Only now do people finally understand why a stoic and tenacious person like Lin Xian can say the words "I am willing to be Jiang Qingyang's lackey".
Putting themselves in his shoes, if they could witness the legend with their own eyes, they would probably be much more enthusiastic than Lin Xian.
"I think I know who Jiang Wang is." Mrs. Xidu said quietly.
This sentence was in response to Gao Zhe's previous question. Of course she had always known who Jiang Wang was, but she still had some doubts about that terrible record. After all, there were a lot of rumors in the world. Until this moment when Lin Xian confirmed it, she really "Know who Jiang Wang is."
"If Jiang Wang is coming..." Tian Chang smiled and said, "He should have a general position. I have no objection."
Wen Lianmu shrugged: "In the same territory, who can compare with Jiang Qingyang?"
After saying this, he glanced at Wang Yiwu with his peripheral vision, a little guilty, but Wang Yiwu had no expression on his face.
Lei Zhanqian said: "Then don't waste time. I'll take charge of the remaining battalion. Tian Chang, Wen Lianmu, Gao Zhe..."
His eyes swept over them one by one: "If you are not convinced, then come together!"
The atmosphere in the military tent became boiling for a moment.
Zhong Xuan Sheng, on the other hand, sat lazily and grinned proudly.
Speaking of which, the two most arrogant people in the tent today were both defeated by Jiang Wang himself. I think it is one of the most profound memories in their lives for them.
The arrogant Wang Yiwu acquiesced that Jiang Wangtong was unparalleled in the territory.
It was necessary to use one against three Lei Zhanqian, and tacitly agreed that Jiang Wangren would have to occupy one battalion before he arrived.
