Wu Sicheng lowered his head and stood beside Liu Yan, looking at the secret music in Liu Yan's hand together. It was a report from Chang Miao, the capital of Liaodong, which wrote the important military situation that had recently occurred in Liaodong.

Due to the considerable casualties suffered in the capture of Xuansu City, the pursuing Su Chengdong and Bi Wanchun also suffered a big defeat, and Bi Wanchun himself was killed in battle. Therefore, Chang Miao did not launch an attack on Li Chenghui's troops in the inner city, but instead began to attack the surrounding places. Under his command, all the north of the Yalu River was recovered, except for the domestic fortress and the city of Uiju.

However, since the whole country of Goryeo had been mobilized, a large number of troops began to gather on the south bank of the Yalu River, so Chang Miao had to deploy a large number of troops along the river, which somewhat hindered the original plan to besiege the city of Uiju and the city of Nachi. Fortunately, the reinforcements sent by the imperial court have gradually arrived at the front line, and the training and reorganization of the recruits have been almost completed, plus there have been sailors from Qingzhou to help in the battle recently. All sides are ready to stop, and they can start a full-scale attack on Goryeo just when the weather cools a little.

These news made Liu Yan very satisfied, but Chang Miao also made a special request for the promotion of military generals. This should have been handled by the Ministry of War, but Chang Miao specifically mentioned the promotion of four people, that is, Su Chengdong and Xue Boren, as well as two low-level military attachés Gao Dingbian and Wang Hanxin. Su Chengdong was originally a general in Youzhou, but now he has become the deputy of the veteran He Ling, and is actually the highest person in charge of the cavalry of the Liaodong Army, and has made a lot of achievements in previous wars, and his promotion is a matter of course. Chang Miao pointed out that this young general was not only brave but also calm, and was a rare and manufacturable material. Xue Boren has been delayed by Chengyun's years of suppression, and this person is proficient in the art of war. He has both wisdom and bravery, but he can't exert his real strength because his official rank is too low. Therefore, this person's rank should be promoted as soon as possible, and he will definitely be able to become a general in his own right. However, the speed of this person's promotion is too fast, and I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among the military department. Therefore, the prince is especially asked to protect it.

There are also two low-level military attaches Gao Dingbian and Wang Hanxin, Chang Miao praised these two young people as rare military general materials, these two people are not only strong in martial arts, brave in battle, but also cooperate tacitly, repeatedly performed miraculous feats, the two of them in the battle of Xuanwu City were seriously injured by the enemy commander A Yizhi, and became a man of the year in the army. These two can focus on training, and they will definitely be able to become a new generation of generals in the future.

Liu Yan couldn't help but shake his head and laugh when he looked at the last paragraph: "Chang Gongxiao is really doing his best." not only promoted the talents of this generation of generals, but even the next generation of generals have been prepared. ”

"Chang Du protects the community, but also to repay His Royal Highness for his kindness." Wu Sicheng said on the side.

"Gao Dingbian, Wang Hanxin? How capable these two people are, you go back and check it out for me. ”

Wu Sicheng hurriedly saluted and said, "Obey." According to what the villain has now, these two are young heroes, Gao Dingbian is only eighteen years old this year, and he just joined the army at the beginning of this year, and Wang Hanxin is even younger. He is only 16 years old, and he is a survivor of the ransacking of our border people in Korea last year. ”

"Heh, you know both of them, your kid's ears are really long."

"The villain just has a good memory. However, these two people are indeed more outstanding, so the villain has an impression. Both of them have short military careers, but they have become the deputy commanders of the Tiger Guard Battalion. He served as the left and right Sigo. This speed of promotion is indeed amazing, and the average person starts as a soldier. They may not be able to climb below the ninth grade in half their lives, but these two people are already under the eighth grade at a young age. Promoting too quickly will inevitably lead to repression by the military department. If His Royal Highness doesn't intervene, I'm afraid that no matter how hard these two people work hard, they won't even want to be promoted within a year and a half. ”

Liu Yan turned sideways and squeezed his eyes at him and smiled: "That's right, speaking of which, you don't have an official rank yet, these two little hairy children have climbed on your head, don't you feel jealous?" ”

"Your Highness, don't laugh, the villain has not made any contributions, how can there be any reason to be an official? Besides, if the villain has an official rank, his actions will definitely attract more attention, which will be a great disadvantage to His Highness's major affairs. ”

Liu Yan turned his head and looked at Wu Sicheng carefully. This young man, who is only one year younger than himself, regardless of the fact that he has established an efficient intelligence network for himself, it is not an exaggeration to give him a five- or six-grade official position just because he has been getting along with him day and night all these years and making suggestions. What's even more valuable is that this person does not have these thoughts of asking for merit in his heart, and is only thinking about contributing to his own power. There are very few people who can do this, and this person can indeed be called his right-hand man.

Thinking of this, Liu Yan waved his hand and said: "Since Chang Gongxiao has proposed it, we will naturally go to Anjingbian to give them activities, but in the future, you have to pay more attention to these four people to see if they really deserve their reputation." Also, have there been any recent movements in Li Guifei's few fine works? ”

Wu Sicheng replied: "Back to Your Highness, these people have been very active recently. However, their every move is under the watchful eye of the villain, and all the information they can get is what we want them to know, and what we don't want them to know, they can't get it. ”

Liu Yan buried his body in the chair and showed a satisfied smile: "Concubine Hua's strategy is really effective, it can confuse Li Guifei's audio-visual, these people are really indispensable." And you, you're doing a good job too. ”

His Royal Highness Xie complimented. However, I have recently discovered some strange things, but I can't say why, so it's just a suspicion, and there is no evidence. But if this matter is true, it is not trivial, so I want to say it and ask His Highness to be careful. ”

"Oh? What's up? Let's hear it. ”

Wu Sicheng involuntarily lowered his voice and said, "The villain thinks that there is someone from Concubine Li Guifei by the emperor's side!" And this person is lurking next to the emperor! ”

This sentence was like a basin of cold water poured on Liu Yan's head, and Liu Yan was frightened! If this is the case, most of his words and deeds in front of his father and emperor will be known to Concubine Li, this is not a joke, and she hurriedly asked: "Is this true?" ”

Although there is no evidence, the villain believes that this person does exist, but he has not yet discovered who it is. The villain will definitely continue to investigate, but before finding out the identity of this person, please pay attention to your highness when acting and speaking in front of the emperor. The villain said something that should not be said, if the emperor's health continues to deteriorate, His Royal Highness must arrange manpower on the emperor's side, in case the emperor's body changes, His Royal Highness can't even see the emperor's face, and then Li Guifei will take the lead! This must be guarded against. ”

Liu Yan nodded heavily and said, "You are reasonable, I will deal with this matter immediately." You also have to hurry up and find out the spy lurking by your father's side! ”

"Yes!"

"Okay, you step down, by the way, I will ask someone to invite Lord An Jingbian, the secretary of the Ministry of War, to come here, and it is better to deal with the matter of Chang Gongxiao as soon as possible."

Wu Sicheng saluted and withdrew. Liu Yan readjusted his mood and waited for the arrival of Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of War. (To be continued......)
