With Xu Shu's help, Wang Xu quickly changed into formal and cumbersome clothes and rushed to the conference hall first.

Seeing that the council hall was empty, he sat quietly on the general's seat and closed his eyes in contemplation, waiting for the generals to arrive. Tian Feng and Guo Jia, who came in next, saw that he didn't mean to speak, and they didn't bother, they glanced at each other, and then lightly found a place to sit down, silent. Fortunately, all the seats in the conference hall have been replaced with very comfortable chairs, so they are not as uncomfortable as kneeling before.

It wasn't long before hurried, messy footsteps rang out outside the hall. Feeling the eagerness, Wang Xu's eyes also opened, and the corners of his mouth slowly pulled out his signature arc, calmly looking at the door of the council hall.

After a few breaths, the figures of the generals had already appeared outside the door, and one by one they rushed in, almost trotting. And without saying a word, he directly found his place and sat down. Obviously, Wang Xu asked Shan Huai to convey the words "be prepared to stay behind when it's late", which had a great impact on the generals.

Wang Xu was also very satisfied with this effect, smiled, and opened his mouth to break the silence of the chamber. "Ladies and gentlemen, you must have heard that the national thief Dong Zhuo acted perversely and was brutal and unkind. Hold His Majesty hostage and control the government. connived at the soldiers to burn, kill, and plunder, and did all kinds of evil. Now it has reached the point where people and gods are angry and everyone is punished. Now, the princes everywhere are interested in raising troops to serve the king, and it is also incumbent on me, as a general of the imperial court to conquer the south, hereditary Hanlu, and send troops to crusade against the national thieves. This time you have been summoned to discuss the expedition. ”

Although everyone vaguely guessed, at this moment, Wang Xu said it himself, which still caused a great reaction and a lot of discussions. But Guo Jia and Tian Feng frowned, made eye contact, and took the lead in asking: "The lord's intention, but to issue a payment document and make an appointment with all parties?" ”

As Guo Jia went straight to the topic, the generals also immediately quieted down, revealing expectant eyes. Waiting for Wang Xu to speak.

"No!" Smile slightly. Wang Xu shook his head affirmatively. "If you take the lead in issuing a payment document and invite all the princes to start up, you will inevitably do your best. But I am far away in Jingnan, separated by Liu Biao and Yuan Shu in the north, and far away from Luoyang, how dare I come out? Now that the prestige of the imperial court has been lost, there are many people with ill intentions. If you take away my foundation, will you not be in a dilemma? ”

Hearing this, Guo Jia and Tian Feng, who were a little worried in their hearts, were obviously relieved and nodded secretly.

Knowing what the two were worried about, Wang Xu did not hesitate, and immediately said: "Actually." According to the latest intelligence of the spy shadow, it is expected that in no more than half a month, someone will take the lead in issuing the payment document. When the time comes, we will raise the banner and raise troops to respond. Today, the generals were convened to discuss it, and it was precisely for this purpose that preparations were made in advance, and the conscription horses were set to be sent out in order to carry out the pre-war run-in. in preparation for the expedition. ”

As soon as these words came out. The generals' hearts tightened, and they involuntarily straightened up. Prick up your ears and listen. I'm afraid that when I get to the end of the day, I won't be able to click on myself.

However, after Tian Feng frowned and pondered for a long time, he couldn't help but ask: "How many soldiers and horses does the lord want to bring with him when he goes north this time?" ”

"Three thousand five hundred at most!" Wang Xu smiled slightly.

But as soon as the words fell, the generals who were full of expectations were instantly deflated. Doesn't bringing only 3,500 men mean that the vast majority of the generals will stay? And the probability of clicking on oneself is even more conceivable, and they are all sighing secretly.

Tian Feng and Guo Jia were also slightly stunned, they didn't expect to bring only such a few people, but after pondering for a long time, they vaguely guessed Wang Xu's intentions. After glancing at each other, Guo Jia, the military advisor, opened his mouth and asked: "Lord, what do you mean, but you don't move the army, but only bring the most elite special troops in the army?" ”

"Huh! Feng Xiao is really a genius, in a word. Wang Xu smiled heartily, and nodded affirmatively: "Yes, this expedition, because of the long distance, is not conducive to the movement of the army. The current situation is ever-changing, and it is not easy to deal with too many people with dexterity. Therefore, on this expedition, I only took my 500 guards and the special troops of the generals. Although there are few people, they can be super powerful and like an arm, so that no matter what kind of shape they face, they can cope with it. ”

"The lord wants to take most of the generals away?" Tian Feng suddenly wondered.

"Yes, only a few generals will be left behind, and the rest of the generals will follow me north."

Hearing this, the generals' eyes lit up, and the already depressed feelings instantly skyrocketed, their bodies sat straight, their eyes did not squint, and their faces were solemn, for fear that they would become one of the left-behind generals!

Tian Feng and Guo Jia noticed the reaction of the generals, and they were equally happy, with such a group of tiger and wolf generals, what else is there to worry about? It's just that they didn't speak again, just quietly waiting for Wang Xu to order.

In fact, Wang Xu himself didn't decide who to let go. I've thought about it many times these days, but for various reasons, I always feel that everyone should bring it. But if they are all taken away, the four counties of Jingnan are so big, how can they be done without anyone to guard them? Besides, 55,000 soldiers and horses, without a general in charge, will not work.

His eyes slowly swept over the generals who were looking forward to it, Wang Xu thought about it, but still felt that it was difficult to make a decision. After being silent for a long time, he slowly raised his head. "This expedition, Zhao Yun, Xu Sheng, Song Qian, and Dian Wei must go, all four of them have not experienced a large-scale battle, and they need to be trained. The rest of them have fought in the Great War, so they will choose among you. But don't think that if you stay behind, you will be idle, the daily training and arrangements of the more than 50,000 troops cannot be delayed, and you must also be ready to adapt. Now that the situation in the world is unstable, no one can say what will happen next, and if necessary, you will even lead the army to conquer alone to protect the foundation of Jingnan. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Xu's gaze slowly swept over the generals, and then his eyes lit up, and he suddenly shouted: "Wang Fei, Yang Feng, I want to entrust Jingnan to the two of you, do you have any objections?" ”

"The last general commands!" Although they were ordered to stay behind, the two of them didn't say a word, they stood up together and surrendered their orders.

Seeing this, Wang Xu couldn't help but nod with relief. In the end, it was decided that Wang Fei and Yang Feng had no choice but to stay behind, and the left-behind generals must have one of them who is experienced, knows the art of war, and is good at fighting. And Wang Fei seems to be rough, but in fact he is delicate, and he can always make decisions that make Wang Xu very satisfied at critical times. Coupled with his brotherly relationship with Wang Xu, staying at such a time can calm everyone's hearts. As for Yang Feng, it is because his force is already at the bottom among the generals, and it is dangerous to go north this time. The generals are braver. can play a better role.

Looking at the two of them with resolute faces for a long time, Wang Xucai said earnestly: "Second brother, Yang Feng, this Jing Nanke will be entrusted to you, and you must not go on any business trips!" Remember, if the shape changes, be sure to listen to the words of Fengxiao and Yuan Hao. The two are resourceful. You must work well together and give full play to your strengths in order to keep Jingnan safe. ”

"The last general understands!" The two did not hesitate and arched their hands firmly.

However, Guo Jia was very surprised when he heard this, and asked strangely, "Lord." Won't your subordinates go north this time? ”

"Don't go!" Shaking his head, Wang Xu explained with a smile: "Fengxiao, you have a more important task in Jingnan. This time, it is difficult to say whether the success or failure will be said, if everyone works together, of course, there is no problem. But in the current situation, I am afraid it is difficult to work together. Once the shape shì has changed. I will return with my troops. When the time comes, Yuan Hao will be inseparable from Quanling. You've got to answer me! ”

Speaking of answering, Wang Xu couldn't help but increase his tone, and glanced at Guo Jia meaningfully.

Guo Jia was so smart, he immediately reacted, knowing that Wang Xu's words meant to take care of Liu Biao in Jingbei. Once the heroes fail, the world is bound to be even more chaotic, although Liu Biao has an extraordinary relationship with the Wang family, but as a hero, how can he be dragged down by these, maybe he will really block it. At that time, Jing Nan's reaction was particularly important, thinking of this, Guo Jia stopped talking and fell silent leisurely.

Tian Feng also understood what Wang Xu meant, but after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't help but mention: "Lord, why don't you go?" We can send troops to the south of the Yangtze River in response, but in fact we don't send troops, sit back and watch the changes, and wait for the opportunity to move! ”

"Huh! Yuan Hao's words are different. Before Wang Xu could speak, Guo Jia was the first to refute it. Although this method is good, it can not only win the hearts and minds of the people, but also avoid danger. But in the long run, it is difficult to make a difference. If the heroes succeed, then the lord has not sent a single soldier and has not advanced a single step, what is the merit? Where is loyalty, bravery, benevolence and righteousness? Looking at the current situation, even if Dong Zhuo is exterminated, it will only fall into a new round of competition, and it is indispensable to fight and fight, and deceive, what will the lord use to deter the world at that time? And with what will it be to stabilize the world? It's just that Mingzhe protects himself, sits and waits for the times to change, and becomes a disciple of Liu Yan and Liu Biao. ”

"It would be even worse if the group failed. This act of the lord is hypocrisy, and he will be rebuked by the world. Rather than that, it is better to stay still and pretend not to know. ”

"Thirdly, there are many talents under the Lord's account, and wise men from near and far are vying to join them, why is this? It is only because the lord is able to fight well, has outstanding prestige, and is benevolent and righteous. If you protect yourself and fade out of the eyes of the people of the world, not only will your prestige fall, but your benevolence and righteousness will no longer be, and I am afraid that you will not be supported in the future. ”

As Guo Jia talked eloquently, everyone in the hall also nodded. Although Tian Feng was refuted, he didn't care at all, he was originally a straight person, and when he heard Guo Jia say it reasonably, he laughed and said: "Haha! Feng Xiao's words, but the world can be safe, and the real order is embarrassing! ”

"Yuan Hao's words are serious!" Hearing this praise, Guo Jia humbly bowed to Tian Feng to show respect.

Wang Xu was also very happy when he heard this, and immediately interjected: "Yes, this expedition is imperative. Everyone must go down and make good preparations, and from today onwards, all the generals will be gathered together for a unified drill, and a sufficient tacit understanding must be formed before setting out for the expedition. ”

"No!" The generals immediately responded in unison.

Seeing this, Wang Xu smiled and nodded, then turned back and said to Tian Feng and Guo Jia: "From now on, you are going to respond to the payment, and when the northern heroes launch a move to ask for Dong, you must spread it all over the world as quickly as possible." In today's troubled times, heroes have emerged, virtuous ministers and good generals, and strange people are also choosing their masters, and we must take the first step to win the hearts of the people in order to achieve great things. ”

"No!" Guo Jia and Tian Feng looked at each other and smiled, and they also agreed in unison.

At this moment, Wang Xu was in a good mood, thinking that after he left in the future, the affairs of Tian Feng and others would be more onerous, and he immediately couldn't help laughing loudly: "Yuan Hao, Fengxiao!" The general's mansion has always been uneven, and at present, there are only Hu Cao Peng Han Song, and soldiers Cao Peng Dong He. After I'm gone, it's going to be a lot more onerous. So be it! You passed on my order, moved to the Lingling Taishou Mansion, and the five senses Peng Pang Ji was the decisive Cao Peng, and he was in charge of the criminal trial of the four counties in Jingnan. Moved to the Taishou Mansion Gong Cao Peng Liu Qian as Jin Cao Peng, in charge of the four counties, commercial currency, salt and iron and other things. At the same time, I resigned from the post of Lingling Taishou and asked Liu Xian to lead Lingling Taishou himself. ”

After giving the order in one breath, Wang Xu slowed down his tone, looked at Tian Feng and Guo Jia and said with a smile: "Although I still can't make it up, there are more people to share the affairs of the General's Mansion, so entrust the matter to everyone!" Then you will have your hands free. Lingling's matter, let Liu Xian solve it by himself in the future. However, as in the two counties of Guiyang and Wuling, the appointment of officials and major measures that exceed the quota must be submitted to the relevant person in charge of the General's Mansion for review. ”

"No!"

"Okay, since there are no objections, let's go down and do it!"

After speaking, Wang Xu was about to get up and go to the barracks with the generals, but he suddenly remembered the matter of the relocation office. Seeing that Tian Feng and Guo Jia hadn't walked out of the conference hall yet, they immediately continued: "By the way, remember to inform Huan Jie, let him get ready." When I return from the expedition, I will not return to Lingling, and will directly move the general's mansion to Changsha.
