The idea of ??letting Lei Wanchun lead his team to pretend to be marching along the north shore of Qinghai Lake was Zhou Chengye's temporary decision. Unexpectedly, he was actually ambushed. As the Shenwei Army has become more and more established west of Qinghai Lake, it has posed a huge threat to the Tubo people. As the chief general of the Shenwei Army, Zhou Chengye has also been listed by the Tubo Kingdom as the most dangerous generals who must be eliminated. . "The rise on Tuesday was so astonishing. It seemed to rise from the ground in Longyou overnight, and also seemed to fall from the sky overnight. It completely exceeded the expectations and imagination of the Tubo people. Precisely because the rise of the Shenwei Army and Zhou Chengye was so alarming and the momentum of their rise was so violent, everyone in Tubo knew that an extremely evil "devil" had come to the west of Qinghai Lake. Regardless of adults or filial piety, as long as Zhou Chengye's name was mentioned, Names, the color of their faces will change. The fact that Longyou gained such a bad reputation in just two years shows that Tuesday and his group of wolf-like soldiers bullied the Tibetan people quite a lot. On Tuesday, when he was "notorious", he encountered an ambush that was clearly aimed at him, which made him even more calm and vigilant. After sending Wang Zhongsi away, Tuesday lay down with his clothes on, his hands behind his head, lying quietly on the bed, thinking carefully about the two ambushes Lei Wanchun encountered. "The territory controlled by the Shenwei Army is mainly from the west of Qinghai Lake and the north shore of Qinghai Lake to the southern end of Meng Valley. If the Tibetans want to secretly sneak into the northern part of Qinghai Lake, they must start from the narrow strip between the south side of Qilian Mountain and the northern foot of Datong Mountain. Passage. That area is now under the control of the garrison under the command of the Hexi Jiedushi. Did they allow the Tibetans to succeed because of their poor defense, or did someone secretly let the Tibetans in? " "Lei Wanchun's second ambush It was more violent than the first one, but this second group of men and horses were not accomplices of the first group. Even this second group of enemy soldiers pretending to be horse thieves might even be elite cavalry from the Tang army. So which army was so bold and reckless? Dare to intercept and kill the friendly general?" "My coming to Huangshui City this time was a temporary operation. There was no warning or news beforehand. How could the two groups of thieves be sure that I would pass through the north shore of Qinghai Lake?" The more Zhou Chengye thought about it, the more he felt chilled. There is a dangerous feeling of being surrounded by wolves. Now. It is a period when the strength in the hands is scattered and relatively weak on Tuesday. If something unexpected happens, everything will be over. Zhou Chengye¡¯s most powerful general, Ge Shuhan, took 10,000 of the most elite cavalry on a secret mission and was unable to return for the time being; his beloved general Nan Jiyun followed Guo Yingyi to Xichuan. He will not be able to directly serve Zhou Chengye for a long time from now on; Lu Dayong is now in charge of Fuqi City. He couldn't leave easily; Jia Erlong was supervising thousands of Hu soldiers of various ethnic groups stationed in the lower reaches of the Buha River, and he couldn't get out. Lei Wanchun, the only young player who can be reused and trained, suffered two ferocious attacks on behalf of Zhou Chengye this time, and now he has suffered many injuries. It takes a while to cultivate and condition. Zhou Zhou likes Lei Wanchun very much. He admires the loyalty and wit shown by this brave young general. In any case, Tuesday does not want to see Lei Wanchun before he becomes a famous general of the Tang Dynasty. He died early in his own hands. Originally, there were brothers Zhang Wei and Zhang Qin available on Tuesday, but this time they also went to Xichuan. As a result, Tuesday fell into the embarrassing situation of having no generals available. Late at night, Tuesday sighed with emotion: "Oh, this is the fatal flaw of the nouveau riche! Compared with those aristocratic families, the Zhou family obviously has insufficient background and a weak foundation. The number of talents that can be used with confidence is too limited. " "Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi have been won over by Lao Wang, and Li Sheng is still a little kid. Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing are now much higher than me. It's better for me to join others I want to be capable and capable. It seems that I have to select and train my own subordinates! If that doesn't work, I have to promote Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan from internal affairs first and let them focus on military affairs. Anyway, Datang has a lot of civil servants who know how to manage internal affairs. " At this time on Tuesday, he was full of resentment, but he didn't think about the generals he had just talked about. They were all fierce men from Kaiyuan to Tianbao. If the standards for talent selection were set to this level. That's really unusually high! But then again, "One soldier is a raging enemy. A den of raging generals" and "Incompetent generals will exhaust the three armies." When it comes to the selection of main generals, there is really no need to be careless or make do, otherwise it is tantamount to self-destruction. Seeking death. Just as Wang Zhongsi and Wang Zhongsi arrived at Huangshui City on Tuesday, the generals of Shanzhou's army also responded to Du Xiang's call. Everyone waited quietly in Huangshui City for three days before finally meeting the Chief Assistant of the Political Affairs Hall and the Minister of the Ministry of War. , Li Linfu, the Jiedu Ambassador of Longyou Town in Hexi Province. Standing among the welcoming crowd on Tuesday, I saw Li Linfu from a distance, surrounded by a group of governors, governors and military generals of various states, and Xiao Jiong was closely behind him. It¡¯s just that we haven¡¯t seen each other for a year, Li Lin??The powerful aura of being in a high position is getting stronger and stronger. Although he greeted the generals waiting under the city gate with a smile, everyone still felt that the atmosphere was depressing and there was a sense of tension from inside to outside. Du Hope got off his horse first, walked a few steps quickly and came to Li Linfu, and then said loudly: "Du Hope, the governor of Shanzhou and the deputy ambassador of Longyou Jiedu, led the military commanders of Longyou to welcome you to Huangshui!" When Li Linfu saw this, he He quickly turned over and dismounted, returned the salute to Du Hope and said: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Du. You and I are colleagues, why are you so polite!" The emperors and ministers of the Tang Dynasty were all martial arts. Although Li Linfu was a civil servant, his riding skills were acceptable, far better than his. He is a bit more knowledgeable, so the movement of turning over and dismounting is smooth and easy, without any sign of difficulty or reluctance. After a few pleasantries, Du Xiangxi introduced the generals of Shanzhou's armies to Li Linfu one by one. "This is the commander-in-chief of the Baishui Army, the powerful General Wang of Longyou Tubo!" Du hoped that the first person he would call was Wang Zhongsi, which invisibly told Li Linfu the status of the Baishui Army among the armies in Shanzhou. . Wang Zhongsi was a typical soldier. When he heard his name being called, he immediately took a step forward and said loudly: "Wang Zhongsi, the commander of the White Water Army, has met your Excellency!" Li Linfu is an extremely careful and delicate person. On his way to Huangshui On the way, people had already collected and sorted out the background information of the military generals in Hexi and Longyou, and read and memorized them one by one. Li Linfu naturally paid more attention to Wang Zhongsi, a tiger general who even the emperor cared about. "Ha, ha I haven't seen you for a few years, but General Wang is becoming more and more powerful now! Under my command are generals like General Wang who are good at conquering and fighting, and powerful soldiers like Baishui Army who can conquer thousands of miles, sweeping across the Quanrong (the Tang Dynasty people say "The scornful name of Tubo" is just a matter of time!" Li Linfu took Wang Zhongsi's hand. In front of all the generals, he did not hesitate to express all kinds of praises. "This is General Zhao Qizhong, the commander-in-chief of the Anren Army" "This is General Xiao Chengui, the commander-in-chief of the Heyuan Army" Every time Du Xiang introduced someone to Li Linfu, Li Linfu stepped forward with a smile and exchanged a few words with the general. It seemed that Very kind and approachable, without any airs of condescension. Despite strong demands on Tuesday, Du hoped to adjust him from Wang Zhongsi's side to the last one in the general team. But in the end, he had to meet Li Linfu face to face. When introduced to Tuesday. Du Xixi said with a smile: "This young general is Zhou Chengye, the leader of the Shenwei Army. Last year, he dared to surprise Qi City with only 700 cavalry!" When he saw Tuesday, Li Linfu's smile became even warmer, and he showed He encouraged Zhou Chengye like an elder and said: "Although Erlang has not been in the army for a long time, he has made great achievements continuously and is highly regarded by the emperor. We need to work harder in the future and strive to make new achievements as soon as possible!" Being praised by Li Linfu in public, even if he watched it on Tuesday Looking at Li Linfu's signature smile, I felt a little panicked. He had no choice but to put on a flattered expression and said honestly: "Thank you for your encouragement, sir. I will work diligently and live up to your Majesty's expectations!" Wang Zhongsi watched silently as Li Linfu and Tuesday said hypocritically, "You and me. "Non", I secretly sighed in my heart. If I hadn't told myself on Tuesday beforehand, I really wouldn't have been able to see the two foxes in front of me, the old one and the young one. In fact, I wouldn't have dealt with them at all! After Du Xiang finished the introduction, he led the way, and a group of people surrounded Li Linfu and entered Huangshui, the largest city in Shanzhou. The welcome banquet has been prepared. After everyone took their seats in order, the banquet began in a warm atmosphere. I saw Li Linfu sitting on the main seat in the middle. The first seat on his left was Du Hope, the deputy ambassador of Longyou Jiedu, and on his right was Xiao Jiong, the queen of Hexi Jiedu, and next to him Du hoped that it was Wang Zhongsi who was sitting down. The person sitting next to Xiao Jiong was Tuesday. It turns out that after entering the hall, Li Linfu took over the dominance of discourse from Du Hope and directly arranged the seats for the generals in the field. Who did Li Linfu ask to sit at what position? The general whose name was called still didn't sit down obediently? Today's banquet is to sit at separate tables and eat according to the ancient etiquette. There is a table in front of each person, and everyone sits in two rows facing each other. Li Linfu, on the other hand, was sitting in the middle and horizontally. The reason why he had to hide in the last place when he entered the city on Tuesday was that he might sit next to Xiao Jiong, the "Fuhunting Minister" during the meal. However, he didn't expect that Li Linfu would "trick" him in front of all the generals. With one hand, he was placed next to Xiao Jiong. Xiao Jiong's son Xiao Yi was beaten by the Zhou family's book boy for several months and could not get out of bed. Xiao Jiong himself was demoted to a local official because of the impeachment of Zhou Chengye's father in court. The relationship between the two families The grievances are not ordinary deep! Youdao is extremely jealous when enemies meet, but Xiao Jiong did not know what instructions he got from Li Linfu this time. After meeting Tuesday, he looked smiling and seemed to have forgotten Xiao Jiong.The Zhou family was in trouble at the beginning. Because they happened to be sitting right next to each other, Xiao Jiong would raise a glass to drink with Zhou Chengye from time to time, which made Tuesday, who was already full of flies, feel even more unhappy. On Tuesday, he endured the danger of his facial muscles becoming necrotic, pretending to be flattered, drinking and toasting one glass after another "Smile, sister! Two hypocritical old foxes, they may not be pretending to be full of bad things. I Damn it, it¡¯s here again, it¡¯s here again! Li Linfu, Xiao Jiong, I beg you two, please don¡¯t laugh at me, I can¡¯t bear it!¡± Tuesday, filled with resentment, shouted loudly in his heart.
