52. A turning point in a setback

You are a bunch of little minions. If I, Xu Xian, hadn’t lost my seal and ribbon in Qingcheng Mountain, why would I have been so angry with you?

Just wait for me, sooner or later I will let you see how powerful I, Xu Xian, am!

Xu Xian, who was sitting in the carriage, couldn't help but feel resentful in his heart.

"Return to Xu Xian, where is Prime Minister Xu?"

"I'm afraid it still doesn't know that His Highness the Crown Prince has now removed Xu Xian from his position as Prime Minister!"

"yes!"

"I seem to have heard that because Xu Xian harbored selfish motives and was suspected of being a secret liaison with the Jin Dynasty, His Highness the Crown Prince even temporarily removed him from the position of Minister of the Ministry of War!"

"The current Minister of War is Yu Yunwen, Minister Yu!"

I heard the conversation of officers and soldiers coming from outside again.

What?

Zhao Shen actually removed me from the position of prime minister, and also gave my title of Minister of War to Yu Yunwen?

How long has it been since I, Xu Xian, went to Qingcheng Mountain, and so many changes have happened in this court?

I, Xu Xian, wanted to help Zhao Shen defeat the Jin people and regain the Central Plains, but I didn't expect that they would actually do something so chilling to my heart. It's so infuriating and infuriating!

It seems that the Song Dynasty is really as Lu You said, there is no way to save it, there is no way to save it!

Xu Xian was naturally full of complaints at this time.

Complaints are complaints, Xu Xian also knows that the most important thing now is to fight against gold.

So Xu Xian asked the driver to give some money to the officers and soldiers led by Na, and asked him to find someone to contact Han Yanzhi who was stationed near Jiankang.

Sure enough, after giving the money, the officers and soldiers became easier to talk to. Not only did they let Xu Xian's carriage go, but they also sent someone to escort Xu Xian to Han Yanzhi.

After arriving at Han Yanzhi's station, Xu Xian saw Han Yanzhi. The two of them seemed to have seen each other after a long separation, and they began to chat for a long night.

Xu Xian also confirmed from Han Yanzhi that all his positions had indeed been revoked by Crown Prince Zhao Shen.

The reason is that Zhao Shen did this because Yu Yunwen united with the Huaixi generals to sue Xu Xian.

After learning that this was the reason, Xu Xian asked Han Yanzhi to take him all the way to the outside of Jiankang Palace to meet Zhao Shen.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Shen met Xu Xian quickly.

"Xu Qing, you are finally back!"

"Now that the Tatars have gathered at Caishi Ferry, they are ready to invade the south at any time. I wonder what Xu Qing has in mind?"

After seeing Xu Xian, Zhao Shen did not say anything else, but instead expressed concern and inquiry.

"Thank you for your concern, His Royal Highness!"

"Now, hasn't His Highness the Crown Prince entrusted all the defense of quarrying to Yu Zhongshu?"

"I, Xu Xian, have just returned from Shu. I don't know the details of quarrying. How can I come up with any good strategies?"

Xu Xian also didn't expect that Zhao Shen would still have such an attitude towards him.

"After all, Yu Yunwen is a Confucian official and lacks experience in war, but you, Xu Qing, are different. You destroyed the Tatar navy in the first battle, and then captured the Tatar general in Huaixi!"

"If Xu Qing hadn't suddenly left without saying goodbye, how could I have reused Yu Zhongshu out of desperation?"

"So in my heart, Xu Qing, you will always be the irreplaceable person!"

Zhao Shen seemed to have already understood Xu Xian's thoughts.

What does Zhao Shen mean?

Is it really not because it was suspicious of me that it removed me from the positions of Prime Minister and Minister of War?

Is this the cleverness of its ability to know people and make good use of them?

I have to find out if it really suspects me.

"I heard that Yu Zhongshu, together with the Huaixi generals, accused me of Xu Xian's secret conspiracy with the Tatars and harboring evil intentions!"

"And they accused me of secretly communicating with the Tatars. Your Highness also knows that you secretly promised Ye Yiwen to unite with Wanyan Yong!"

"The reason for harboring evil intentions is that in order to save my wife's sister, Xiao Qing, I gave Wan Yan Yuanyi, the Golden Army Commander, in exchange for Xiao Qing's life!"

"However, I, Xu Xian, do have selfish motives in this matter, but I can't say that I am harboring evil intentions!"

"I don't know what exactly I, Xu Xian, have offended them for, and why they want to harm me, Xu Xian, like this!"

Thinking of this, Xu Xian couldn't help confiding it to Zhao Shen.

"Xu Qing, I know all these things about you!"

"This will cause you to be criticized. It's all my fault!"

"No wonder you!"

"So I intend to re-appoint you as the Grand Marshal of the Army to take charge of the world's troops and continue to preside over the war against the Jin Dynasty!"

Zhao Shen certainly knew that Xu Xian was the most trustworthy person for him at this time.

It’s really about using people to move forward and not using people to move toward the back!

Zhao Shen now obviously thinks that I am valuable, so he made me the military marshal and continues to preside over the fight against the Jin Dynasty!

When I defeat the Jin man, I, Xu Xian, will no longer be needed. I don’t know how I will treat Xu Xian then!

I, Xu Xian, owe you this much. Should I let you kick it around like a ball?

Instead of letting you play with me like this, why don't I control myself?

Why should I, Xu Xian, be someone else's chess piece?

Xu Xian also fully understood at this time that in order to settle down in this era, the most important thing is to take the initiative himself.

If you want to take the initiative, you have to control it yourself. The most important thing is to have an army that truly belongs to you.

The position of Generalissimo of Arms and Horses given to him by Zhao Shen was of course the best opportunity to seize the opportunity of his own army.

So Xu Xian took the military marshal's seal given to him by Zhao Shen and came to the quarrying front.

"Xu Cheng...!"

"Marshal Xu!"

"You're finally here!"

"It's finally here!"

Li Xianzhong, Wang Qi and other generals also came over to greet Xu Xian.

Xu Xian glanced at the generals who came to greet them. Except for Li Xianzhong, there was no Huaixi general. Naturally, Yu Yunwen, who acted as Minister of War, was not here either.

"Generals!"

"Awaited!"

"I didn't expect that when I, Xu Xian, came back after being away for a while, the generals would still be in high spirits!"

Xu Xian was naturally not unhappy anymore.

"Nothing can compare to you, Marshal Xu!"

"After returning to Jiankang, he is still firmly in the position of commander-in-chief. How can we people compare with this?"

Li Xianzhong seemed to be making fun of Xu Xian.

"General Lee!"

"Although many people misunderstand you as the current Lu Fengxian, in my heart, Xu Xian, how can you, General Li Xianzhong, be compared to Lu Fengxian?"

"General Wang Qi!"

"Everyone in the world says that you are an incorruptible man in his eighties, but in my heart, Xu Xian, General Wang Qi is still a tiger general who can eat eight bowls of rice at a meal and behead thousands of armies on the battlefield!"

Xu Xian couldn't help but also made fun of the two generals.

"Ha ha!"

"Shuai Xu, you are making fun of me, Li Xianzhong, who is the slave of the three surnames!"

"But I don't mind these insults for a long time!"

"Now as long as I can kill the Tatars, I will be willing to die on the battlefield!"

Li Xianzhong responded first.

"is not that right?"

"Although I, Wang Qi, am an old and honest man and still capable of eating, I, Wang Qi, still have the heart to kill the enemy!"

"Whenever I see Tatars now, I can't wait to rush up and fight them to the death!"

"So Marshal Xu doesn't have to worry about my old age and frailty, Wang Qi!"

Wang Qi then said with a smile.
