"Zhongli won a big victory, but Xiao Hong is a cheaper one."

A middle-aged man in purple shirt on the left side of Wang Sengbian looked at Liuying on the stairs with some emotion, "If you dare to obey my opinion and let Chen Baxian lead the army to set up many ambush on Yuanying's way back to Luoyang, Yuanying would definitely not be interested in fighting. Even if he and Xing Lian's army returned to Luoyang, they would definitely be seriously injured and even more damaged."

"Taichangqing is loyal and upright, and he can't even refuse such a private gathering like me. In his opinion, it is suspected of forming a clique for personal gains and losses. However, what he often says makes sense. As long as the Southern Dynasties grows prosperous, they don't care about temporary gains and losses."

Wang Seng Bian smiled indifferently and said, "Even if Xiao Hong has taken all his credit, he has won the emperor's favor and trust. However, after winning so many battles, he cannot intimidate the morale of the army. Instead, those border generals are increasingly disgusted with him. In the long run, is it a gain or a loss?"

"Today, I listen to Grand Sima's words, it's better to read ten years."

Several people under him heard him chatting and laughing, but his face gradually became solemn, and they all said with emotion.

In fact, Wang Sengbian's words did not make thorough explanations.

The real meaning of these words is to use the vulgar words of the dilapidated city of Jiankang. It should be like this: Xiao Hong, who thought he was holding military power in his life, and when he got the opportunity to win the battle, he would make a profit. He was a ready-made prince for a long time and didn't understand at all. After fighting for a long time, there were not many generals who became his confidants. What's the use?

However, these officials are truly smart people, and they can understand this unspeakable implication very well.

Now most generals of the northern border army are looking forward to him as the Grand Marshal, and Lin Yi is the truly new general. If the meeting tomorrow, he will really be awarded a general of more than ten ranks. Once the contributions of the Battle of Zhongli spread throughout the Southern Dynasties, what prestige will this young general of the Tie Ce Army have among the people?

It happened that the Xiao family was so crazy that they pushed Lin Yi out, so of course he had to comfort him and take him under his command.

In this way, no matter how powerful Xiao Hong was or how favored the emperor, those important military figures were still led by Grand Sima.

"According to the latest military situation today, the border troops should capture Shoucheng tomorrow."

Li Rongshi smiled. Everyone here is a close friend, otherwise Wang Sengbian would never say such things in front of them.

...

Xiao Hong's cautious and conservative use of military force is obvious to all.

Not to mention the generals of the Southern Dynasties and their insightful officials, even the people of the Northern Wei Dynasty did not look down on Xiao Hong's military use.

Before, Xiao Hong worked step by step, using the tactics of constantly losing ground to eliminate the Northern Wei army. In the eyes of the Northern Wei people, many generals of the Northern Wei even named Xiao Hong "Xiao Fu", meaning that he, like the women of the Southern Dynasty, accepted it without taking the initiative.

However, many generals of the border army of the Southern Dynasties were not easy to take advantage. At the end of the previous dynasty, the Northern Wei was already strong, but these generals in the south were unable to let the Northern Wei take advantage when the previous dynasty emperors were incompetent, insufficient supplies, and chaotic administration. Many of these generals now were generals of the previous dynasty, and some were subordinates of the generals at that time.

Now that we have enough support and have the opportunity to fight back with all our might, the record is indeed amazing.

After the Zhongli victory, in just over ten days, the northern border troops had conquered fourteen cities in a row.

Shoucheng is a big city in the north. Previously, the Northern Wei Dynasty stored 100,000 soldiers. In Li Rongshi's opinion, it should be captured tomorrow, but the actual movements of the border army were faster than he predicted.

Before nightfall, most of the Northern Wei troops in Shoucheng had evacuated, leaving only a few to set fire in the city. Although many streets and alleys were burned, the border troops of the Southern Dynasty quickly broke through the city, but the fire did not even spread completely.

At this time, even the Southern Dynasties in the rear had entered Shoucheng, and many camps were erected around a Dragon King Temple with a history of hundreds of years in Shoucheng.

The bonfire of the Southern Dynasties' border troops stationed in the city had just lit up, and a carriage arrived at the periphery of the camp. An old man in a black robe was led by a general of Xiao Hong to outside Xiao Hong's camp in the dark.

"Mr. Fei Da, why are you here?"

Listening to the notice outside, Xiao Hong was very surprised when he saw the old man in black robe entering the camp and couldn't help but stand up suddenly.

"Meet Marshal Xiao."

The old man in black robe had a skin like an old tree bark, but his eyes were shining brightly. He was respectful to Xiao Hong and bowed seriously.

"Quick, serve tea."

While Xiao Hong signaled the old man in black to sit down, he gave orders to the general.

The old man in black robe is named Fei Xu, who is one of the great worshipers of the Xiao family. He was already a great worshiper of his father when Xiao Hong was young, and he taught him how to practice and identify poisons.

The great worship of the Xiao family is known to be powerful even outsiders, not to mention Xiao Hong, who had practiced with Mr. Fei when he was young.

In recent years, Mr. Fei has become a tribute to the palace. Even if he wants to dispatch it, it is equivalent to asking for people from the emperor.

"I came out this time, not because of the emperor's order."

Fei Xu looked at Xiao Hong respecting him, feeling satisfied, but he was even more respectful. He lowered his head slightly, and said slowly with no special emotions on his face: "Before the Battle of Zhongli was over, I had already set out to see you when Lin Yi killed Xi Ruyu. On the way, I heard the Zhongli victory, and later I knew what you meant... You don't want this person to come to the northern border army, for fear that he would become a big shot in the army, and support each other with Wei Rui and the others, which would be unfavorable to you, but I dared to say that you are probably missing the roots and neglecting the most important point."

Xiao Hong was slightly stunned, and his expression was instantly serious, "I have neglected the most important point? What is it? Please give me some advice."

"What he is most important now is the position and how many troops he controls."

Fei Xu said respectfully and seriously: "His most important identity is the Lord of Jiange, He Xiuxing's closed disciple. If you think about it carefully, Xi Ruyu can't kill him, and even Yang Dian can't kill him. Later, I heard about the detailed battle situation. It's not that the masters of Jiange protect him, but that his personal combat power is really amazing, and he won consecutive victories in a row. The most important thing now is that there are probably many practitioners in Chengtian realm who cannot kill him. If you let him grow for a while, he may not only be invincible in Chengtian realm, but become invincible under the sub-saints. Think about it, if a person is strong, even no matter how many practitioners in the divine mind realm can't kill him, he can fight with almost one person, leaving more than 100,000 troops helpless. How terrible it is. So, the prince, what you should think most is not his general position, not his relationship with those border generals, but the martial arts he has learned."

When he came in, he called Xiao Hong the Grand Marshal. At this time, he called the prince, which was not a mistake, but now Xiao Hong himself is the Grand Marshal of the border army. When he came in, he called him this enough to show his respect. However, when he was called the prince, he was called the prince, because Xiao Hong himself was the King of Linchuan. When he was serving as a worshiper in the Xiao family, including when Xiao Hong studied with him, he always called him the prince.

Such a title is old love and seems to be a family member.

Xiao Hong's eyes suddenly flashed violently. He looked at Fei Xu and said, "What do you mean?"

"I am not talented, and I am very interested in his martial arts and am willing to try to seize his martial arts for the prince." Fei Xu said: "If you can get the martial arts and have the chance to kill him for the prince, it is also impossible."

Xiao Hong looked inconvenient, but he just thought about it with a cold look, and said, "It's just that even a strong man like Xi Ruyu can't do anything to him... Mr. Fei, are you really sure?"

"I heard that he is not afraid of any true energy means, so those practitioners are helpless against him. But Prince, you probably forgot that I am the head of Yinshan Sect. Our Yinshan Sect originally had not the true energy means." Fei Xu smiled slightly and said, "If the prince agrees, I will send someone to do it first. Just to ensure that everything is foolproof, I also want to second a master at the prince."
