Zhou Peigong didn't look at anything after arriving, and sat in a free seat casually, looking like a street scoundrel. Cheng Xiaolian laughed and ignored him: "You guys start talking." ”

Jia Xu glanced at Chen Cheng'an: "This idea was thought up by Mr. Chen, let him say it." ”

Chen Chengan laughed: "Mr. Jia thinks more comprehensively about this strategy, it's better for you." ”

"Okay, don't shirk the two of you, say it one by one, I'm still in a hurry to attack Xi'an City."

Jia Xu no longer shirked, stood up and pointed to the topographic map: "Since ancient times, attacking Xi'an from the east, it is inevitable to cross the Tongguan line first, since Tuhai has decided to defend Xi'an, then we will first lay down Tongguan, first, to make his soldiers morale plummet, second, even if we attack Xi'an City, we will lose soldiers and horses, and we can also block Tuhai's retreat, and it will not be easy to escape when the time comes." ”

Cheng Xiaolian's eyes lit up: "Go on." ”

"Moreover, as long as we take Tongguan, we will be able to tell the world that we have included Shaanxi in our pockets, and those who have a bright heart will definitely understand that we are no longer a rabble, and the Jingshi will inevitably be shaken, and Tuhai will definitely not hold on to it when he gets the news, but will definitely go out of the city to fight."

Cheng Xiaolian nodded: "Good idea, just do it, let Meng Ke and Huangfu Tong take people to knock Tongguan down." ”

At this time, Wang Jiyong suddenly stood up: "If Your Highness can trust me, let me lead the army to take Tongguan this time." ”

From Cheng Xiaolian's heart, he has been avoiding letting Wang Jiyong lead an army alone, and he still doesn't fully understand this person, if he really gets infected with his father's habits, once he leads an army alone, it will be fatal to Daming. Second, he desperately hopes that Meng Ke and Huangfu Tong can grow up quickly and become independent figures.

Seeing this, Shao Lingzhi quickly stood up and grabbed Wang Jiyong: "General, since Your Highness has decided to let General Huangfu and General Meng go, let's follow His Highness to escort him." ”

Shao Lingzhi has experienced so many things, of course, he knows what Cheng Xiaolian means, he will not fully trust Wang Jiyong for the time being, especially in the territory of Shaanxi, Wang Jiyong can sit on the ground and call the king with a shout, this is his advantage, and it is also his fatal point, no matter which king, he does not want to see such a thing happen. And since Cheng Xiaolian has already ordered the general, wouldn't Wang Jiyong suddenly stand up at the whole time to refute his face, and it will be easy for both of them to step down at that time.

So he quickly stood up and pulled Wang Jiyong, who knew that Wang Jiyong didn't even mean to retreat when he stood there, he also wanted to see if Cheng Xiaolian was using him or really treating him as a general of the Ming Dynasty. If you use him, it's better to leave early, otherwise sooner or later you will inevitably end up unloading the mill and killing the donkey.

Cheng Xiaolian laughed when he heard this: "I forgot about General Wang, this Shaanxi is the boundary of General Wang, General Wang must be able to know himself and the enemy, this time Wang Jiyong is in command, and General Shao Lingzhi is the deputy general, leading the army to go out, I wish the two generals a victory." ”

Shao Lingzhi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "Dare to ask His Highness how many soldiers and horses he has given us?" ”

"Three thousand cavalry, five thousand foot soldiers."

Jia Xu said worriedly at this time: "If this is the case, once Tuhai wants to fight with us, we may not be able to withstand it. ”

Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "Nonsense, what may not be able to withstand it, it must be able to withstand it." Wang Jiyong, have you broken through Tongguan within a month? ”

Wang Jiyong was arrogant: "If you can't break through Tongguan, the last general will come to see you." ”

After everyone dispersed, Shao Lingzhi found Wang Jiyong: "Young General, why are you so reckless and have made a military order, if you can't defeat Tongguan City, then you really want to kill your head." ”

Wang Jiyong laughed: "We already have 15,000 men and horses, His Royal Highness allocated most of them to us, and sent you to be my deputy general, so trusted, if we don't even dare to set up a military order, let General Meng Ke What will they think when they hear it?" I do want to grab some merits, but I'm definitely not afraid of death. ”

Shao Lingzhi nodded: "I really didn't expect His Highness to dare to let me be your lieutenant general, which means that this army is completely under your command, and there is no restraint at all. ”

On the other side, after they left, Meng Ke opened his mouth and asked, "Your Highness, why did you let Wang Jiyong lead the army alone, and let Shao Lingzhi be his deputy general?" You must know that Shao Lingzhi is Wang Jiyong's person, if he plans to take this army to join the Manchu Qing Dynasty, we will be finished. ”

Cheng Xiaolian glared at Meng Ke: "How can you talk like this?" Since Wang Jiyong has surrendered to our Daming, he is our comrade, and he will fight side by side with you in the future, you doubt him so much, wouldn't it be chilling for them to know? ”

Meng Ke was stunned for a moment, Cheng Xiaolian said earnestly: "Wang Jiyong took refuge in us, he was already worried, his whole army didn't know how we would treat them, so there was today's battle for the commander, because of this, I did not hesitate to let him lead the army, you must endure this breath, this handsome position is not for him to fight for, it is for him, only in this way, this time you have been wronged, but you remember, you are a brother who came back from Burma with me, and I will not treat you badly in the future." ”

Meng Ke nodded: "I understand, I almost missed His Highness's big event, it's mine, whatever His Highness says in the future, anyway, my life will be handed over to His Highness." ”

Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "Get out, don't bother me here." ”

Meng Ke walked out of the camp gate with a smile, looked at the expectant eyes of Huangfu Tong at the door, and slapped him on the head: "How can His Highness's mind be understood by us fools, has His Highness harmed our brothers?" ”

Huang Futong was stunned by this slap: "No." ”

"Isn't this over, go back and work hard, can Your Highness still treat us badly? As for face, face is a fart, if you lose it, you lose it, when Lao Tzu was rebelled by his brothers, he survived, do you still care about this face? ”

Although Huangfu Tong didn't know what Cheng Xiaolian said to Meng Ke, he understood one thing, His Royal Highness had not harmed them before, and he would not in the future, he just listened to His Highness's words and followed him to do it, and he would definitely not be treated badly in the future.

Cheng Xiaolian looked at Meng Ke's back as he walked out and smiled bitterly, people's hearts are difficult to reconcile, fortunately Meng Ke is a cheerful person, if you change your mind to a delicate one, today this is the past on your face, but not necessarily in your heart, he hasn't laid much of a place, and his people have begun to plan for benefits, but this is also a helpless thing, no good thing, who is willing to work hard with you, where are there so many saints in this world.
