There was a quarrel in the hall, and a group of people were arguing about Zhou Buyi. Zhou Buyi did not use his eloquence and remained silent on the side, his face changing with gloom and light.
"General Zhang, what do you say?" Liu Xun wanted to speak directly to Zhou Buyi. Liu Xun would not tolerate anyone being disrespectful to his father, but based on Liu Xun's understanding of Zhou Buyi, Zhou Buyi would not be disrespectful to Liu Zhang.
Not to mention that he wants to continue to be the king just because he is his confidant.
If this were the case, Zhou Buji would not have presided over the Battle of the Great Wall in the first place, which would have ruined his reputation, implicated his family, and silently endured ridicule.
Liu Xun knew that he was involved here, and he could not speak on one side, so he could only ask Zhang Ren, the most respected person in the Sichuan army.
Zhang Ren pondered for a moment and stepped out of the queue: "I will discuss the matter at the end and feel that... Zhou Buyi's words make sense." Zhang Ren said seriously.
"General." Gao Pei, Yang Huai and others were anxious.
Zhang Ren did not look at Gao Pei and Yang Huai, and continued: "At this time, the hearts of the soldiers and the people must not be chaotic. They need to have support. If anyone can make the soldiers and the people believe that the lord is still alive, then they can make it public. If not, we should calm the soldiers and the people."
The heart is the first priority.”
After Zhang Ren finished speaking, he began to scold Zhou Buji's generals for being silent, but they all looked unconvinced.
"General Zhang agrees with Zhou Buji's words, but what about General Huang, General Ma, and General Wang?" A military general said suddenly. Zhang Ren was highly respected in the Sichuan Army. Few people dared to refute his words, but other generals could not accept it.
Regardless of Liu Zhang's resurrection, Zhang Ren is not the only general here.
Huang Zhong, Ma Chao, and Wang Shuang had been silent. Then they saw all the generals and Liu Xun looking at them and stood up. Huang Zhong said: "My lord is back alive. I, Huang Zhong, am extremely happy. All my colleagues and General Zhang said the same thing."
It makes sense, but precisely because the master is still alive, the original words of the master must be counted.
Before I went to the Western Regions, my lord said that he would listen to the young lord in everything, but now I, Huang Zhong, still listen to the young lord’s decision.”
Ma Chao and Wang Shuang said at the same time: "We will wait to hear the young master's decision."
The three of them stepped aside. Apart from Zhang Ren, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong and Wang Shuang, the only general left here was Fan Lixiang.
Undoubtedly, the quarrel became fierce. Then I came back to my senses.
At this time, all the generals looked at Fan Lixiang, obviously wanting to listen to her idea. As long as she agreed with Zhou Buyi or did not express her position, she would do what Zhou Buyi said.
Fan Lixiang frowned and said lightly: "I, Fan Lixiang, have nothing else to say. Whoever is disrespectful to the lord or dares to betray the lord, I, Fan Lixiang, will be the first to remove his head."
"Well said." Gao Pei said loudly.
"I don't agree with you." Fan Lixiang said coldly.
Gao Pei smiled awkwardly and said immediately: "Although General Fan did not agree directly, Zhou Buyi's words are disrespectful to the lord. If there is any selfish intention, it is betrayal. General Fan did not agree with me, but he did
It is a clear objection to Zhou Buji’s words.”
"Yes. Anyone who dares to be disrespectful to the lord, I am willing to work with General Fan to kill the traitor." A group of military generals said loudly.
There was another stalemate in the palace. Zhang Ren was the most prestigious general in the army, ranking first among the six good generals. His status was one person below ten thousand people, and he was highly respected.
Fan Lixiang's prestige in the army is far inferior to that of Zhang Ren. However, Fan Lixiang's Shenwei Army is the most popular among the people. It is not only the people's heart in Jingzhou, but also very popular in Yongliang. During the restoration of Chang'an in Guanzhong, it has great influence on the people. It plays a big role in stabilizing people's hearts.
Although Fan Lixiang has less status and power than Zhang Ren, now it is obvious that all the generals are on Fan Lixiang's side, and the confrontation becomes very obvious.
Liu Xun was happy at this time, but looking at this scene, he had to put aside his mood temporarily and had to deal with it first, otherwise he would not be able to deploy the war, and the consequences would be serious. However, both parties insisted on their own opinions, and they did not know for a moment How to deal with it.
Zhou Buyi shook his head secretly. Although Liu Xun was already like a lord in many aspects, he was far behind Liu Zhang. If he were Liu Zhang, he would definitely be able to make arbitrary decisions at this time. However, the matter involved him, so Zhou Buyi could not say anything. .
Zhang Ren frowned. He had no intention of confronting anyone. He knew it would be difficult to handle, so he said to Liu Xundao: "Young Master, I think the military discussion is important now and cannot be delayed. Why not invite Mrs. Huang here? Mrs. Huang said it Jue, what do you think?"
"Mother? Why didn't I think of that? Okay." Liu Xunxi said, and asked the generals, "What do you think?"
Gao Pei and others nodded when they heard that it was Huang Yue's decision.
Soon after, Huang Yue came to the palace with the support of lotus flowers. Everyone saw that Huang Yue's face was happy and there was a blush on his thin face. Huang Yue already knew the news of Liu Zhang's resurrection and was extremely happy. However, he heard that there was a stalemate in the palace due to conflicts. , delaying the military discussion, Huang Yue had to suppress his excitement and walked over.
Huang Yue only walked to the door and did not return to the palace. He said to Liu Xun and the generals: "Xun'er, generals, as a husband and wife, Huang Yue should not interfere in political affairs. Huang Yue only wants to say one thing here, husband, No matter life or death, no matter where you are, you always put your great cause first, and even your life comes second. Xun'er and the generals will make their own decision on whether to announce the news of my husband's resurrection."
Huang Yue turned around and walked out with He Hua.
Fan Lixiang, Guan Yinping and Zhu Rong all looked at Huang Yue's back with a little envy in their eyes. They all thought that Huang Yue could be happy and celebrate when he went back, but they were still here, suppressing themselves and fighting.
Although Huang Yue didn't say it clearly, Liu Xun and the generals already knew what Huang Yue meant, and they agreed with Zhou Buji. Gao Pei, Yang Huai and others were silent, although they still felt uncomfortable, but it was Huang Yue who said this, What they said was correct, and they had no more excuses.
"The resurrection of my father will not be officially announced, but it will not be prevented from spreading among the people. I... will retain the title of king for the time being, but you can no longer call me lord. Do the generals have any objections?" Liu Xun said.
Gao Pei, Yang Huai and other generals looked at each other and said seriously: "We will obey the orders of the young master."
"Okay, let's start formulating strategies now." Liu Xun glanced at Zhou Buyi, who had no intention of speaking. Liu Xun turned to face the generals and said: "Now, the four armies of Cao and Sun have invaded the country and implicated our south. North, southeast, center, and four directions, I am issuing orders now. If you have any objections, you can raise them directly.
Now under the jurisdiction of our Sichuan Army, the people's morale is unstable. In order to prevent the enemy from carrying out detailed sabotage, the defenders in various places are not allowed to mobilize and assemble, and they must do their best to maintain local security and conduct thorough inspections.
On the first line of the enemy's army, Jiaozhou Shixie openly rebelled and gathered 50,000 troops from Jiaozhou to invade eastern Dianzhou and southern Yizhou. Zhu Rong, commander of the Dianzhou border army, immediately led 10,000 Tengjia troops and all the barbarians south to help Dianzhou Mu. Cai Ming put down the rebellion, remember, this battle..."
"I don't."
Before Liu Xun finished speaking, Zhu Rong suddenly blurted out, and all the generals looked at him, even Liu Xun looked at him. Only then did Zhu Rong see that everyone had wrong expressions, and quickly said to Liu Xun: "Young Master, Zhu Rong is not disobeying you.
It’s just that Zhu Rong didn’t want to go south, Zhu Rong wanted to stay in Guanzhong, even if he was a vanguard against Cao Cao.”
Several years later, Zhu Rong still couldn't erase the memory of that tea house in Sanjiang City, but it became more and more profound. When he learned that Liu Zhang was dead, even Fan Lixiang could cry freely in the Shenwei Army, but he could only
Staying in the corner of the barbarian camp and crying.
Now that she learned that Liu Zhang had come back from the dead, Zhu Rong's heart was already ups and downs. She wanted to see Liu Zhang standing in front of her in person, but at this time, she was asked to go to Dianzhou, which was thousands of miles away. How many years would it take to see Liu Zhang?
Zhu Rong refused without thinking, but now he realized that his reaction was too abnormal. His face turned red, but he still insisted on admonishing Liu Xun.
"General Zhu Rong..." Liu Xun thought for a moment and said, "General Zhu Rong, on behalf of my father, I promise you that as long as the Jiaozhou rebels are defeated, I will immediately transfer you back to the Central Plains, as long as you are still willing."
Zhu Rong's face turned redder, and even Liu Xun, a child, could tell it, "Transfer back to the Central Plains, if you want?" Any fool knows what's going on, but it sounds like Liu Xun has made the decision on his father's behalf, and Zhu Rong only feels his face burning.
"It's just that the terrain of Dianzhou is familiar to you, the barbarian army, and you are the commander of the border army. You are the best candidate to quell the rebellion in Jiaozhou. I hope General Zhu Rong will put the overall situation first."
Zhu Rong nodded without answering.
Liu Xun did not pause and continued to issue orders to ease Zhu Rong's embarrassment, "Remember, this battle is not just about resistance. You can attack Jiaozhou according to your ability. Taking Jiaozhou will be a great achievement."
"Yes." After Zhu Rong finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the hall with his sword in hand, still covering his face with his hands. The generals were in a good mood. Seeing Zhu Rong leaving embarrassedly, they all laughed. Fan Lixiang glared at the one behind him.
Xing Daorong, Xing Daorong dropped his smile in depression.
"The second enemy army." Liu Xun continued: "Sun Quan from Jiangdong is now obsessed with Dan Dao, and Lu Su and Zhang Hong are in charge of everything. This time the Jiangdong Army dispatched a total of 60,000 infantry and 30,000 naval troops. Our army has
There are 130,000 naval troops, 100,000 infantry troops from Wei Yan, and 70,000 infantry troops from Jingzhou, which is more than three times the Jiangdong Army, so it should be no problem.
But Lu Su and Zhang Hong are not easy-going people. Since they dare to betray the alliance and rebel, it shows that they have the capital to rebel. General Zhang Ren, you send an order to Jingzhou Fazheng, Chaisang Weiyan, and the naval commander Wei Wen to decide.
Don't be careless.
At this critical moment, it is better to defend firmly than to advance rashly. I tell the generals in the southeast, especially Wei Yan, who likes to be greedy for merit, to be cautious. As long as they are undefeated, it will be considered a great achievement for the generals in the southeast. If they lose, they will be severely punished. "
"Young lord, our army is three times that of the enemy. In this way, isn't it a bit... a snake's shadow?" Huang Zhong admonished, and the generals behind them all nodded. Not to mention Wei Yan, they were the ones holding three times the enemy's army.
Soldiers can't just think about defending. How frustrating would that be? (To be continued)
