    Chapter 6 Datang

    With dozens of personal guards, Wang Xun rushed back to his camp at lightning speed, his face full of anger.  com%%(com)

    To be fair, he shouldn't be so rude.  In the past few months of dating Guo Ziyi, both he and the Anxi Army have benefited a lot from Guo Ziyi, the coalition coach.  However, today, some of the other party's ideas completely exceeded his tolerance limit, making it impossible for him to suppress his anger.

    Chang'an City is his home, his home.  Whoever wants to destroy this place will surely suffer his revenge.  No matter how high the person's status is, no matter how good his reasons are.  The rebels were doing evil in Chang'an City, and it was Wang Xun's responsibility to drive them away.  If Guo Ziyi dared to take advantage of the fire with his soldiers and horses, Wang Xun would not hesitate to draw his sword and stand in front of the friendly horses.

    "Take a few people and reinforce the deer firewood on the north and south sides of the camp. Don't leave any omissions!" Wang Xun called his confidants to Fang Ziling and ordered in a low voice.

    "Yeah¡ª¡ªNo!" Fang Ziling hesitated for a moment and immediately accepted the order.

    If the rebels in Chang'an City come to attack, they can only appear in the west.  Those coming from the other three directions are of course friendly forces.  However, Fang Ziling would not ask Wang Xun why he wanted to increase vigilance against friendly forces.  He was now granted the title of Duke, and his entire future and life were tied to Wang Xun.  When one loses, both suffer, and when one gains, both prosper.

    "Take a few people to inspect Xianyang, Huating, and Fenzhou. Guarantee our food routes." After calling Wei Feng, who was also confused, Wang Xun continued to give instructions.  "Go back quickly, and by the way, bring over the five thousand newly trained soldiers and horses from General Zhu!"

    "No!" Wei Feng agreed without hesitation.  From the leader of the Minzhuang to a third-grade general, he spent less than five years under Wang Xun's account and gained the glory and wealth that others would take several lifetimes to obtain.  Of course, he would not question Wang Xun's order.

    "You go check our ordnance reserves."

    "Go and keep an eye on the camps in the north of the city. Beware of anyone" He then started to make some preventive arrangements, and Wang Xun's annoyance subsided slightly.  He didn't know why Guo Ziyi behaved so forward and backward today, but he was keenly aware that the Tang Dynasty court in Lingwu had regarded the folks in Chang'an City as enemy citizens.  If necessary, the elders of Chang'an City will be sacrificed without hesitation.

    "Is it true that Li Heng is so heartbroken that he doesn't even want the face of his ancestors? If Chang'an is turned into a ruin, and when he comes back, he will be faced with a pile of broken bricks and rubble, what will the emperor's actions be like?"  No matter how much he thought about it, Wang Xun couldn't figure out what the court's real plan was.  While he was thinking about it, the guard commander Wang Shisan hurriedly walked in, cupped his hands, and whispered: "General, Mr. Xue Jingxian, the deputy envoy of Guannei Road Jiedu, wants to see you!"

    "Xue Jingxian?!" Wang Xun was stunned, and a smile quickly appeared on his face, "Invite him in quickly. Didn't I tell you that when he comes, he can see me directly without any notification."

    "Mr.  Wang Xun also put away his chaotic thoughts for the time being and walked quickly to the door of the conference hall.

    Wang Xun had great respect for this old friend whom he had met while working under Feng Changqing.  When he was in the Anxi army, Xue Jingxian once took the initiative to stand up for him and forced the old eunuch Bian Lingcheng to face him.  Then he gave him advice and suggested that he take the initiative to ask Feng Changqing to go out to patrol the Yaosha Shui, so as to avoid the eunuchs' continued entanglement.  It can be said that Wang Xun was able to be where he is today, and the Anxi Army was able to retain a sliver of salary after Feng Changqing left, all because of Xue Jingxian's guidance back then.  Although Xue Jingxian had other motives behind his original behavior.

    Before reaching the destination, Xue Jingxian had already followed Wang Shisan inside.  Seeing my good friends come to greet me in person makes me feel very satisfied.  He quickly sped up and jogged forward for a few steps, bowed his head to the ground and said, "I'll kill you, I'll kill you. How can Xue be so virtuous and dare to work for the general"

    "If you keep talking nonsense, I will pick you up and throw you outside the camp gate!" Wang Xun grabbed Xue Jingxian's arm and threatened with a smile.  "Why did you think of coming to me? What trouble did you encounter there? Or are you running out of armor and equipment?!"

    "Dare not, dare not!"  Son. Xue is from a civil service background and cannot withstand the abuse of you, the Hammer King!"

    "I told you to pretend to be polite with me again!" Wang Xun grabbed Xue Jingxian's arm and squeezed it hard a few more times before letting go with a smile.

    ¡°It hurts Xue so much, it hurts Xue so much.¡± Xue Jingxian shook his arm, as if he was in pain.  "If there is no battlefield in heaven, you, the Hammer King, will be fully responsible. Any meritLao, at least half of Xue¡¯s score!  "

    "That's natural!" Wang Xun sat down with a smile.  At the same time, he motioned to his cronies to push Xue Jingxian to the seat next to him.  "But since you're here today, don't be in a hurry to go back. Let's have a few drinks together as brothers later!"

    "The alcohol bug in my stomach is having a lot of fun!" Xue Jingxian smiled and nodded, sinking into his seat and looking very thin.  "But I'm not here to fight against the autumn wind today. I haven't used up the batch of equipment you gave me last time. I haven't recruited more soldiers recently. I'm here today to ask you something. If it's convenient for you,  "

    "Tell me, what else is inconvenient between you and me!" Wang Xun waved his hand, signaling the other party not to make any detours.

    "I want to ask" Xue Jingxian sat up straight and changed his face to a solemn expression, "If several troops and horses launch a strong attack on Chang'an City at the same time, are you sure that you can lead the Anxi Army to be the first?"  Enter the city alone?"

    "This?" Wang Xun couldn't answer Xue Jingxian's question directly, and he didn't know why the other party came to ask him such a question.  Among the various coalition forces currently participating in the attack on Chang'an, the soldiers of the Anxi Army are indeed the most elite and have the most complete equipment.  However, in terms of numbers, the Anxi Army has no advantage at all.  Moreover, the rebels in the city will definitely regard the Anxi Army's offensive direction as the focus of defense.  Therefore, it is difficult for Wang Xun to guarantee that the credit for entering Chang'an first will definitely fall into his own hands.

    "I heard someone talk about a rumor, I don't know if it is true or not" Xue Jingxian leaned forward and lowered his voice.  Before he could say anything, there was a sudden noise at the door of the Zhongjun tent.  The guard commander, Wang Shisan, strode in with a few well-dressed young people!
