"Liu Zhang suddenly became seriously ill, and Liu Baoshun had to choose to withdraw his troops. This matter cannot be separated from Yan Yunge. Liu Zhang and his son suffered heavy losses, so how can they give up? In order to avenge, it is impossible to choose to cooperate with our Great Wei."

"Liu Zhang is not a reckless person. He took the initiative to cooperate with us just because of revenge. No matter how you think about this, you feel famous. Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that this matter needs to be cautious."

Emperor Xiao Chengwen nodded.

However……

But he said, "Liu Zhang said he would send troops to hold Xiao Yi's troops, and this is true. Liu Baoshun raised troops again, and all his dear friends knew about this. If it weren't for this, Xiao Yi would have withdrawn his troops to help the guard camp."

"Does your Majesty want to cooperate?"

"Why can't we cooperate? If we can take the opportunity to win the three counties, even if Liu Zhang has a chance to take over, I will deal with it."

"But the Southern Army and the Guards' Battalion fought for several months and were unable to advance in a state of three counties. Even if Liu Baoshun delayed Xiao Yi, according to the current situation, the Southern Army may still have no progress."

"The Southern Army is not weak! Several months of experience are enough to make the new recruits grow into veterans. The weakest one is the general. Your Majesty, I beg to replace the Southern Army generals."

"I'm going to discuss it!"

"Since you want to choose cooperation, it is indeed necessary to replace the generals."

"Working with Liu Zhang is like struggling with a tiger, and I object!"

“Pediatric!”

"I don't know how to adapt."

"It is a betrayal to cooperate with the thief who steals the country. Your Majesty think twice! Yan Yunge is a major concern of the court, and this matter is true. But don't forget that Yan Yunge is also a major concern of Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang clearly wants to use the court's hands to wipe out Yan Yunge. Once this matter is done, Liu Zhang will throw his troops south next."

"Strange words. You have read Liu Zhang's secret letter. Liu Zhang promised to rule the river and not to launch troops south for ten years."

"You are really serious about the words of Liu Zhang's thief? How innocent. Back then, Liu Zhang always claimed to be a loyal minister of the Great Wei, but in the blink of an eye he stole half of the country and ascended the throne. The lesson was still in front of him, and his words were farts.

Your Majesty, Liu Zhang is a thief, a wolfish ambition, and you have to be careful! Don’t wait until we finish fighting Yan Yunge, and then the troops in Liangzhou began to move south to occupy the territory. The old minister is not an exaggeration, and Liu Zhang is not worthy of trusting at all."

"There is some reason for this worry. Liu Zhang is not a trustworthy person. He will do one thing. If Liu Baoshun leads his troops south while the imperial army occupied the territory of the three counties, the matter will be serious. We have to guard against this matter."

Emperor Xiao Chengwen frowned.

His face was dull, and there was an indelible melancholy between his eyebrows and eyes.

"Your Majesty, the old minister believes that you can choose to cooperate, just secretly guard against one another. Taking advantage of the opportunity when Liu Baoshun is still fighting with Xiao Yi, he will decisively change his generals and take over the territory of the three counties."

Emperor Xiao Chengwen nodded secretly, and his intention coincided with him.

The fat meat delivered to the door must be eaten.

Otherwise, you will be punished by God.

"My dear friends, who is the right person to change the general?"

Look at me, I look at you, several bigwigs in the Political Affairs Hall.

They have never marched, led troops to fight, or even went to the front line.

When the war was closest to the war, Sima Dou besieged the capital and Wuheng attacked the capital.

By the time Wuheng besieged the capital, they had already followed the imperial army south.

so……

He is self-aware that he is not a good source of leading troops to fight, but it does not prevent them from recommending suitable candidates.

"Your Majesty, there is one person that is definitely suitable. This person is not only familiar with the army, but also has a lot of prestige in the army. There is no need to worry that the soldiers of the Southern Army will not obey the orders."

"Who is it?"

"The person I'm talking about is Lord Cui, the former general who has retired!"

he?

Lord Cui was on the front line of the border and was so ill that he could not leave the general's mansion.

He was discouraged and afraid of dying in office, so he died with his eyes open. The book asked to resign and retire.

Then after going through a lot of hardships, he finally returned to Jianzhou and officially retired.

For the sake of tranquility, I cultivated in a villa outside the city.

A person who was already half ill was dying, but his health was getting better without officials.

It seems that living for another eight or ten years is no problem.

Emperor Xiao Chengwen was not very satisfied with this recommendation because in his opinion, Lord Cui was too old and was no longer suitable for military martial arts.

but……

It is undeniable that Lord Cui is in the army.

If he commanded the Southern Army, he would definitely not have to worry about the soldiers who would not obey the orders and would be lip service.

If it were someone else, he would not have his prestige.

In case of discord between generals and generals, this is a taboo in military strategists!

However, it is best to give Lord Cui a deputy, that is, the old man and the new man.

When the newcomer comes out, the old man can retreat behind the scenes.

So...

A decree summoned Lord Cui Zhi and Cui into the palace.

Lord Cui: “…”

He has retired and retired, and he is content with his grandchildren. He no longer cares about the troubles outside. The general trend of the world has nothing to do with him.

He is so low-key, why did the emperor refuse to let him go and give him peace?

"trouble!"

Lord Cui Zhi, who had a gray beard, really disliked the edict in his hand.

He doesn't want to enter the palace or enter the officialdom again.

"At this time, I must be related to some recent events. If nothing unexpected happens, I am afraid that I will be ordered to take charge of the Southern Army in the face of danger and lead the Southern Army to attack the territory of the three counties. Alas..."

It's so sad!

"If my father doesn't want to come out, it's better to refuse directly."

The third son Cui Wang said solemnly.

Lord Cui Zhi and Cui smiled, "Send someone to see outside the door. Has the Jinwu Guard left? It is obvious that I have to go if I don't want to go."

The third son Cui Wang frowned, "Balang Xiucheng is studying in Pingyang County, and this is known to everyone in the world. If Your Majesty asks his father to lead the army, aren't you worried about the loyalty of our Cui family?"

"How could a mere Hachiro fall into the eyes of the emperor? You just bet on both ends, Your Majesty knows it. He will not give up on using me just because of Hachiro!"

Cui Wang thought for a while, "My son accompanied his father to Jianzhou. If he really appointed his father to command the Nanjun, his son would be willing to share his worries, serve as a vanguard, and fight for a bloody path, and end the chaos as soon as possible."

Cui Zhi was surprised and quite surprised.

The third son Cui Wang is recognized by the Cui family. He is proficient in all his literary and martial arts.

I just don’t like the official atmosphere and refuse to become an official.

This time, it was really a surprise that he was willing to dispatch troops to lead his troops.

Lord Cui Zhi and Cui coughed lightly, don’t be too busy with surprise.

He asked, "Why is Saner willing to follow her father and lead the troops to fight?"

Cui Wang said with a serious face: "When my father was appointed as the general of the attack on the enemy, he was critically ill at one time. My son only regretted not being by his father at that time and could not share his worries. This time, no matter what, the son must follow his father and attend his father, just in case."

"Hey! It's me who dragged you down. You were happy in the officialdom and were willing to become an official for me."

"It is appropriate for a son to be filial to his father. As long as the father doesn't dislike his son's stupidity, it's fine!"

Lord Choi Chi-Choi laughed loudly, his laughter was refreshing.

"With three sons helping each other, the three counties will be able to take it down. When we pack up our luggage, our father and son will follow the Jinwu Guard to Jianzhou City."

...

The Dongping Palace in Jianzhou is half smaller than the Dongping Palace in the original capital.

King Xiao Guo of Dongping frowned and looked worried.

His wife, Xu, knew what he was worried about.

He was worried about the safety of the three counties and the safety of Xiao Yi and his wife.

The imperial court sent troops but could not capture it for a long time. In addition, there was an accident in the Northern Wei Dynasty, so I thought this wave was stable.

Unexpectedly, the imperial court decided to change generals, regroup, and launch troops to attack the three counties again.

Back then, he was ordered to lead the army to block Wuheng's attack on the capital, and was seriously injured and survived by chance.

Later, Xiao Yi took over his position.

He led the Dongping Palace to follow the court south.

This is also what Xiao Yi means.
