He Zhong suddenly sighed, lowered his voice and said, "You guessed right, His Highness is angry because of a woman. If it was in the past, when the war of Liang Mang wasn't imminent, let alone seven or eight thousand elite cavalry, even twenty or thirty thousand cavalry would go to the Central Plains. With the banner of the Vassal King Beiliang, and it's not really a rebellion, Beiliang wouldn't worry about the Imperial Court making irresponsible remarks. Taking a step back, if the Zhao family really makes things difficult for Beiliang again and again, we can take advantage of the situation and make it difficult for the Imperial Court to get off the tiger. But now, Beiliang has lost so much that it's almost crazy. I think that old woman is about to go crazy. We haven't built the North Resisting City yet, and the deployment outside the Great Wall hasn't been completely completed … Ah, brother Lin, don't you think this is reasonable? "
Lin Duofang was silent.
Liu Yuanji was a little upset. He wasn't good at reasoning with scholars, but he always felt that something was wrong. Therefore, the old man who scolded His Royal Highness the most fiercely looked at the young man who sat on the main seat and had an empty chair next to him. Liu Yuanji scratched his head, and his heart was in a mess. Yan Wenluan, the only general of the border army who could openly raise the flag in Beiliang's army after the main pillars like General Li Yishan and Chen Zhibao either died or left. He looked around and finally took the lead to break the awkward silence that made everyone feel embarrassed. He looked up at the young Vassal King and asked in a deep voice, "I, Yan Wenluan, Beiliang's Infantry Commander! I recently heard that His Highness plans to personally lead the Phoenix Battalion and transfer more than ten thousand elite cavalry south to Guangling Road. May I ask why His Highness wants to do this? May I ask if this will delay the battle outside the Great Wall? "
The young man on the main seat bent down and gently touched the charcoal fire, and then stood up straight. Lin Duofang's mind turned quickly, and before the Vassal King spoke, he didn't care about overstepping his authority and hurriedly said, "General Yan, three hundred thousand people in Beimang died in the battle. As the bridgehead for the food supply, the Southern Dynasty can't bear the burden. It's very difficult to reorganize in a short period of time. This time, the Beimang barbarians are different from the nomads in the past. They are fighting in the Central Plains, and the more it is, the more it will hurt their vitality. I believe that in the next three months, there won't be a war. With the advancing speed of the Beiliang cavalry, going to Guangling Road in the Central Plains and back, it won't affect the overall situation."
He didn't look at Lin Duofang, and he just said, "Is there no war in the Central Plains in the Central Plains? Moreover, wouldn't that old woman and King Dong Zhuo of the Southern Courtyard take advantage of the fact that Northern Liang is leaderless and send several elite troops south first? "
Lin Duofang looked at the young Vassal King and said, "Your Highness, you don't have to go to Guangling Road in person."
Before Yan Wenluan responded, Hsu Fengnian already shook his head and said, "If Beiliang sends troops to Guangling Road, I will definitely lead the troops myself."
Lin Duofang was confused. How should he talk about this?
Hsu Fengnian suddenly laughed, "I mean if we send troops, since everyone here doesn't agree …"
At this moment, an old man in a Confucian robe ran to the door of the Conference Hall breathlessly. He stepped over the threshold, and then suddenly stopped, as if he didn't dare to lift his other foot. He calmed himself down, and his face turned red. He raised his voice and said angrily, "The Beiliang cavalry is the best in the world. How can you be so timid after winning the battle?! So what if you send ten thousand cavalry to the Central Plains? Let alone ten thousand, I think even twenty or thirty thousand won't be a problem. What? Without the King of Beiliang guarding the border, you officials don't know how to guard the gate of Beiliang?! Yan Wenluan, your soldiers are the best in the world, guarding Youzhou. Do you need the Prince to stand behind you all the time? Do you need the Prince to give you advice or serve you tea? He Zhonghu, Zhou Kang, Great Ancestor Gu, you are guarding the border of Liangzhou. Do you need the Prince to take the lead in every battle? Otherwise, you can't defeat the Beimang barbarians? "
The old man got angrier as he talked. He pointed at the people sitting in the front, as if he was scolding, "Chu Lushan, Yuan Zuozong, Qi Dangguo! The three of you, don't forget why you are sitting here! "
The old man turned his head to look at the civil and military officials of Liuzhou and sneered, "As for you Liuzhou officials, you really have a reason to not let the Prince leave Beiliang. Heh, if the Prince didn't personally lead the troops to Qingcang City, you really wouldn't be able to guard Liuzhou that Li Yishan single-handedly created."
Liuzhou's Provincial Governor Yang Guangdou almost jumped up and cursed, but he was pulled back by Chen Xiliang, whose face was just as gloomy.
Jin Bao Chu, who was in the corridor outside the door, didn't show himself. When he heard Chancellor Wang's outburst, he felt admiration from the bottom of his heart. Not to mention whether it was reasonable or not, just this courage of his in a war of words was enough for the old man to boast for the rest of his life. Although the scholars of the Central Plains also liked to scold Beiliang's martial artists, who would have the guts to scold people in front of Beiliang's generals? However, Chancellor Wang scolded almost all of Beiliang's civil and military officials in one breath. No wonder the old man wanted to drag him to Tide-listening Pavilion first. It turned out that he was emboldening him. During this period of correspondence, the senior and junior brothers all mentioned the deeds of Great Ancestor Gu outside the Liangzhou Pass. The facts proved that even the famous veteran of the Spring and Autumn Period, the first pillar of South Tang in the past, after coming to Beiliang, even if he was already the deputy commander of the infantry army, he still couldn't bear the consequences after angering the local generals. Everyone knew that the next commander of the infantry army was between Great Ancestor Gu and Chen Yunchui. Now, even if Chen Yunchui didn't take over Yan Wenluan, even if a younger generation general took over, it would definitely not be Great Ancestor Gu. This indirectly showed that the power of the generals was deeply rooted in the Beiliang Frontier Army. Even if the young king pushed Great Ancestor Gu, who had lost the confidence of the army, to the position of the commander of the infantry army, Great Ancestor Gu himself probably wouldn't be able to hold on.
In this way, Chancellor Wang's concealment of strength and biding his time in the Academy was completely in vain.
It should be because the old man was no longer timid like before. He put his hands on his waist and said angrily, "After the general left, everyone became arrogant and dared to flaunt their power in front of the Xu family! I don't believe that there is no one here who is loyal to the Lord. Xu Beizhi! Chen Xiliang! Li Hanlin! All of you, stand up and say something fair! "
As a result, not only Xu Beizhi and Chen Xiliang, the two counselors, even Li Hanlin, who had turned over a new leaf, sat still on the chair.
Chancellor Wang was stunned on the spot. Suddenly, he sat on the door sill and cursed like a shrew on the streets. He said in a heart-wrenching voice, "Why should we, the King of Northern Liang, who has three hundred thousand strong cavalry, live without any meaning at all? Once, just once, can't we do it?! Yan Wenluan, you bunch of old bastards! You are so old, what right do you have to bully a young man who is not even 30 years old?! "
The whole hall was silent.
Chancellor Wang's eyes were completely bloodshot. He was so angry that he began to laugh. He raised a palm high up and said with a loud laugh, "Ever since Yong Huichu's Li Yang Great Army returned without accomplishing anything, the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry has entered Northern Mang's hinterland for the first time in more than ten years. Do you know why?!"
Chancellor Wang slowly stood up. The old man seemed to have pressed his palm on the wall. He said loudly, "At that time, Xu Xiao stood by the wall and slapped the map of Beimang. He said something to me. Xu Xiao said his son was there!"
The old man glared at everyone in the Conference Hall. "Xu Xiao also asked me if this reason was enough?!"
The old man suddenly raised his other hand and pressed it again. "Then, the current head of the Xu family told you that there was someone in Guangling Road. Hsu Fengnian also had to save him. Is this reason enough?!"
After looking at each other in dismay for a short while, Yan Wenluan still said with a straight face, "Not enough!"
He was stubborn.
Chancellor Wang got up and said with threatening gestures, "I will beat you to death, you old tortoise!"
Suddenly, the old man seemed to have been stuck with an immobilizing talisman. He leaned back and caught a glimpse of a person from the corner of his eyes.
