"Elder, please speak." Wang Xian and Bin Hong responded in unison.

"Hey!" Elder Tang sighed, motioned for the two of them to sit down with a melancholy face, and said, "To be honest, the old man has been sleepless lately, and he is worried!" ”

Bin Hong also understood that he was making too much trouble, knowing that Elder Tang was going to beat him, he had a ghost in his heart, so he hurriedly said: "I don't understand what the elder said, now we are strong and strong, we have occupied most of Shandong, and this autumn is a bumper harvest, it is a good time to march forward and take the land of Qilu into the bag, what is the elder to worry about?" ”

Elder Tang glanced at him, sighed again, and said: "Great military division, the so-called outside must first be inside, they are all their own brothers, so the old man said it directly." Now you and the Second Army Division are in trouble everywhere, which makes the old man very embarrassed! Bin Hong was about to speak, Elder Tang raised his hand, and then said: "After listening to me, they are all eating in the same pot, and it is inevitable that the pot will touch the spoon. But the two of you are different, you are the courage of our army, and everyone still expects you to come up with ideas and find ways to lead everyone forward. But one of you speaks east, and the other speaks west; One wants to chase the dog, and the other chases the chicken. You say, who is this going to listen to? Is this okay? ”

Wang Xian had always shown forbearance in front of Binhong, and after listening to Elder Tang's words, he naturally had no reaction. Bin Hongke couldn't hold back his face, he knew that although Elder Tang seemed to be teaching two people together, he was actually accusing himself every word, and it had nothing to do with Wang Xian at all. Bin Hong's face turned red, and said in a sullen voice: "We know that the elders have opinions, and we also know that the elders value Lao Hei, but how many years of old brothers, we can't know that it is wrong and not say it, then the elders will not be embarrassed, but the foundation that the brothers have worked so hard to build will be in vain!" ”

"Where the student said something wrong, please correct the army." Wang Xian said coldly.

"I've said enough, your set is clearly on paper and sensational!" Bin Hong glared at Wang Xian like a cockfighter.

"It's the prejudice of the military division that comes first, so let's use strong words." Not to be outdone, Wang Xian glared back at Bin Hong.

Seeing that the two of them started again, Elder Tang was as big as a fight for a while, and hurriedly separated the two and said, "Since neither of you can convince anyone, let's save your spit." After a pause, he said: "There is a way to be a mule or a horse, and take it out for a walk." The old man thought that the two of them might as well try it and see the real chapter. ”

"How?" Bin Hong asked in a deep voice. Although Wang Xian didn't ask questions, he also stared at Elder Tang tightly.

"The autumn harvest is almost over, and the war is bound to resume. Although the situation in Qingzhou is very good, it is not worry-free. The biggest trouble is that it is too close to Jinan and Le'an Prefecture, and the army is stationed on two lines at all times, which is very difficult. Elder Tang had already made up his mind, and after speaking, he got up and came to the map, and Bin Hong and Wang Xian also followed.

Elder Tang pointed to the two counties of Linzi and Zichuan on the map and said, "If we can take these two counties, we can connect the territory together, and there will be no more worries about fighting on two fronts, and the situation will be greatly improved." After speaking, Elder Tang looked at the two of them and said, "The old man wants to ask the two of you to lead an army each to capture the two counties respectively, and the one who completes the task first wins." ”

"But at the command of the elders." Wang Xian agreed without hesitation.

"Okay." In front of Wang Xian, Bin Hong naturally couldn't afford to lose the battle.

"Then it's decided, after this time, the winner will be the main one, the loser will be the auxiliary, the main and secondary will be clear, and there will be no regeneration." Elder Tang said in a deep voice.

"It's a deal!" Wang Xian and Bin Hong high-fived as an oath.

"Haha, good!" Elder Tang was in a good mood, and ordered Binhong to lead Ding Gugang's soldiers and horses, and Wang Xian to lead Liu Xin's soldiers and horses, order all the grain and grass, and send troops on the same day!

Listening to Elder Tang's words, Bin Hong was a little unhappy, because Liu Xin was the first fierce general in the Qingzhou Army, and the soldiers and horses under his command were very elite. Elder Tang's arrangement was obviously biased in favor of Wang Xian. But after thinking about it, Bin Hong had an idea, so he didn't say anything against it......

Since the wheat was cooked, there had been no war, which made Liu Xin, who was already addicted to war, very irritable, and when he learned that he was about to go on an expedition, he immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare for the battle.

was busy in the camp, and the soldiers came to report that the army division had arrived. Liu Xin is Elder Tang's old team, and he has been friends with Bin Hong for nearly 20 years, and the relationship has always been good, so he put down the matter at hand and went to the living room to meet Bin Hong.

"Haha military advisor, what kind of wind blew you here?" Liu Xinlang smiled and walked into the living room and arched his hand towards Binhong.

"My brother is here, and you still use the wind to blow? Uninvited. "Bin Hong felt very useful to Liu Xin calling himself a 'military advisor' instead of a 'great military advisor'. In addition, he is very enthusiastic. Bin Hong stood up and said to Liu Xin: "I heard that you are going to go on the expedition tomorrow, I will come and see you off." ”

"Isn't the military advisor going out tomorrow?" Liu Xin was a little flattered by Binhong's unusual enthusiasm, and hurriedly asked people to serve wine and food and drink two glasses with Binhong. "Why do you still have time to come and see me off?"

"Hey," Bin Hong picked up the wine cup, touched it with Liu Xin, and went down with a sigh before twisting the mouse whiskers and said: "I and Lao Ding know the roots, there is nothing to worry about." I'm not worried about you, brother. ”

"Oh?" Bin Hong used a wine cup, but Liu Xinxin used a wine bowl, he took a sip of spirits, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and asked puzzledly: "What is there to worry about the military advisor?" Can't you believe me? ”

"Hey, who can I trust, who can I trust?" Bin Hong shook his head and said: "It's just that this time the elder has said first, let the surnamed Hei be the master, you have to listen to his orders, I'm worried about you, brother, and he will take you to the ditch!" ”

"Oh......" Liu Xin's eyes widened when he heard this, he thought about it, shook his head and said: "Probably not, if I lose this time, the surname Black will not have good fruit to eat!" ”

"Hey, brother, you can't just look at what you're looking at! You have to see the future! Bin Hong shook his head.

Liu Xin smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Strategist, it's not that you don't know, I don't have those twists and turns, if you have something to say, just say it." ”

"Let me ask you, whose name is this?" Bin Hong asked.

"Is it the Elder?" Liu Xin said in a sullen voice.

"He's only been with the elder for a few days?" Bin Hong said patiently: "Who was he originally?" ”

"Liu Jun!" After Liu Xin finished speaking, his expression sank, he and Liu Jun had always been extremely disagreeable, and later when he saw Liu Junfei Huang Tengda, his heart was even more sour.

"That's right." Bin Hong said in a deep voice: "The surname black is Liu Jun's eyeliner planted in the helm, if he gains power, Liu Junke will be amazing!" Saying that, he glanced at Liu Xin and said, "With Liu Jun's character, will he be instructed to squeeze you when the time comes?" ”

"Hmm......" Liu Xin was really moved by Bin Hong's words, and equated Wang Xian and Liu Jun. When I thought that if Wang Xian became a military division, I felt that my future was bleak. Hurriedly looked at Bin Hong and said, "Strategist, you can't see death without help!" ”

"Isn't this here to save you?" Seeing that Liu Xin had already been set, Bin Hong was very happy, and said with a smile: "Brother, what do you think of your status in the hearts of the elders?" ”

"Yes, it's okay, it's okay......" Liu Xin said uncertainly.

"Don't be presumptuous, why don't you be? He is definitely the number one officer in the hearts of the elders! Bin Hong smiled: "This status is not obtained overnight, and naturally it is not something that can be destroyed once and a half......"

"Strategist, you want me to ......" Liu Xin understood a little, and looked at Bin Hong with wide eyes.

"Hey, how can I cheat my own brother?" Bin Hong shook his head and said lightly: "I'm not letting you lose, I'm just letting you drag it, drag it to my side, and it's not too late for you to win." He said with a smile and said, "At that time, you will win a big victory, but if you are a little late, even if the elders do not reward you, they will never punish you." ”

"And the one surnamed Hei lost to the military advisor, and from now on he has to stand aside obediently!" Liu Xin was overjoyed when he heard this, and clapped his hands and said, "Wonderful! Coup! ”

"So that's it?" Bin Hong picked up his wine glass and stared at Liu Xin.

"That's it!" Liu Xin picked up the wine bowl and touched it with Binhong, and the two drank it all and laughed loudly......

Wang Xian has actually heard of Bin Hong's small actions. Dai Hua didn't do anything these days, so he stared at this guy, and came back as soon as possible to report, saying that Bin Hong went to Liu Xin, and the two talked secretly for a long time, which was likely to be unfavorable to Wang Xian.

Wang Xian listened, but he didn't care, and continued to bury his head in the research on the map of Linzi.

"Sir, you can't be careless! They're all in the same group, beware of us! Dai Hua became more and more anxious.

Wang Xian smiled and didn't speak, Deng Xiaoxian, who was stretching his muscles on the side, smiled: "The emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry, the adults have their own plans, just look at it." ”

"Yes, I'm foolish." Dai Hua rolled his eyes depressedly and stopped chattering.

The next day, Wang Xian, Liu Xin, Bin Hong, and Ding Gugang bid farewell to Elder Tang, and then divided into two routes, each leading 5,000 men and horses, to Linzi Zichuan.

Wang Xian and Liu Xin's destination is Linzi, which is adjacent to Qingzhou, and the distance is only a few dozen miles. In fact, Zichuan and Qingzhou are only a few dozen miles, which can also intuitively reflect the current situation of the Qingzhou army, which seems to be full of flowers and a large number of people, but in fact, Qingzhou is always under the threat of the official army and the Han army, and the foundation is far from stable.

It's not that Elder Tang didn't think about moving his base camp eastward, away from the threat of enemies on both sides, but first, Qingzhou is his lair, how can he easily give it up, and secondly, since the White Lotus Sect has been marching forward, Elder Tang naturally won't take the initiative to show weakness. Therefore, the most ideal plan in front of the Qingzhou Army is to go west to Zichuan and take Linzi in the north and push the front outward!

Therefore, Elder Tang sent Wang Xian and Bin Hong to send troops separately, not only to let them have a showdown, but more importantly, to use the two of them to win the strategic buffer for the base camp, and also to obtain a springboard for the further unification of Shandong!

This was actually planned as early as when Wang Xian and Elder Tang had a secret conversation! So it seemed to be a contest between the two military advisors, but Elder Tang had already begun to implement Wang Xian's plan......
