In Shao Yun's military camp outside the county seat, Li Yanxian and his important generals gathered together.

A large fire was lit in the middle, on which a lamb and three chickens were roasted, and pork was cooked in a pot next to it.

The soldiers filled everyone's bowls with wine. Li Yanxian raised the wine and said: "It's been a long time since we got together to talk. After drinking the wine in the bowl, we will not return until we are drunk today!"

After saying that, he drank all the wine in the bowl. Everyone drank the wine and picked up the meat to eat.

After drinking for three rounds, Li Yanxian said: "I've called you all here today, and there's one more thing. The governor of King Xiang and Deng suggested that our two armies merge. This is not something I can decide alone. Let's discuss it together."

Feng Daodao: "You can make the final decision on this matter! We will follow your orders!"

Li Yanxian sighed: "Wang Zhenfu is a man who leads troops to fight. Everyone has seen it. I have been with him in Guozhou these days, and I have a general understanding of him. The rest is good, except for a little bit.

Don’t leave any room for error.”

Shao Xing's expression changed and he asked, "Why does Jinglue say that?"

Li Yanxian said: "I asked how to merge, and Wang Zhenfu directly said that Shaanzhou's soldiers would be retrained and mixed with their subordinates. Merger means to really merge together, not just in name. Either completely merge together like this, or each of them can merge together."

Pass each other."

After hearing this, Shao Yun couldn't help but said angrily: "If you say this, doesn't it mean that this guy wants to annex us!"

Li Yanxian was silent for a while. After thinking again and again, he nodded and said, "Although that's not what I meant, it is indeed what happened."

Shao Yun sneered and said: "At the beginning of the year, Lou Su's men besieged Shaanzhou, and Dengzhou soldiers came to rescue me. I thought this guy was a good man! I didn't expect that he had this idea in the end! How could our Shaanzhou soldiers and horses go through so many storms?

This is how you submit to others!”

Li Yanxian said: "When I killed Hu Shuye, why did you and Uncle Shao submit to me?"

After hearing this, Shao Yun couldn't help being stunned. After a while, he said: "Jing Lue is dedicated to serving the country, and Uncle Hu is looking for death at night. What can he say? We are raising troops to drive out the Jin people and protect the villagers.

, when will you take your own honor and disgrace into consideration!"

Li Yanxian said: "Let me tell you, the way I face Wang Zhenfu now is the same as when you faced me back then. Do you believe it? Moreover, Wang Zhenfu did not kill me and saved our Shaanzhou Army again."

After everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned and looked at Li Yanxian together.

Li Yanxian said: "In my opinion, Wang Zhenfu is a man who serves the country wholeheartedly and fights against gold thieves. However, he has great ambitions and does not want to waste his thoughts on trivial matters. In the current situation, we and Dengzhou Bing can work together to achieve both goals."

That's why he proposed the merger. If we didn't agree, Wang Zhenfu wouldn't take it seriously. After all, we have less than 20,000 soldiers, so we are not very attractive."

Lu Yuandeng said: "This time when they entered Guanzhong, Dengzhou's army recruited more than 10,000 people. Including Wei Yi's defeated troops, there were about 30,000 people. I heard from people in Dengzhou that as long as they train for half a year, they will be all

Good soldier."

Shao Xing couldn't help but frown after hearing this: "What do you mean? In the eyes of Deng Zhoubing, are we the same as the common people?"

Lu Yuandeng said: "I can't say it's exactly the same, but it's similar."

Shao Xing turned his head and looked at his colleagues around him. When he saw others nodding, he felt incredible. He said: "It has been four or five years since I raised the army to fight against the Jin Dynasty. I have fought so many battles, how can I be like the common people!"

Song Yan said: "Uncle, we have fought many battles. But how can I put it, the Dengzhou soldiers are different from us in fighting. In comparison, we are just like the common people, and we don't seem to know how to fight."

Li Yanxian said: "To be honest, it is precisely because of this that I think it is not too much for Wang Zhenfu to ask our entire army to train. The two armies are completely different. It seems that Dengzhou Army cannot be allowed to imitate us, but that is the only way.

"

Shao Xing said: "Jing Lue, I hear your opinion, are you willing to merge as Wang Zhenfu said?"

Li Yanxian nodded: "Wang Zhenfu speaks too bluntly, which does make me a little unhappy. But if you think about it carefully, it's not that he despises us, and that's the fact. From Wang Zhenfu's position, he is not very willing to have these soldiers of ours.

, it’s just that Shangzhou and the Lu family are important.”

Shao Xing clapped his hands: "Then what else is there to say? Just decide on Jinglue! Brothers Shao Yun and I follow Jinglue because we are dedicated to resisting the Jin. As long as we fight against the Jin army, there is no hindrance to being a Dengzhou soldier.

?”

Li Yanxian looked at Dang Song who was silent and said, "What does General Dang think about this matter?"

Dang Song said: "After the merger, I don't know if I have any positions? How will we be arranged?"

Li Yanxian said: "Dengzhou soldiers will establish the front, rear, left, right and center armies. I will be the commander of the center army, and I will also be responsible for the affairs of the whole group. You all enter the military academy. See how you study, and refer to your previous positions to start again.

Appointment. The big principle is that your class will not change."

Dang Song said: "If I don't learn well, my position will change?"

Li Yanxian nodded: "That's a natural thing. This has always been the case in Wang Zhenfu's army. Don't talk about us. Among the troops left by his father, some generals who were not suitable for leading troops gradually stopped leading troops.

.The army is for war, and unsuitable people certainly cannot stay in the army."

Dang Song said: "What Jinglue said is that I don't have anything to say, Jinglue will make the decision with one word!"

Li Yanxian looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "If you have no objections, I will reply to Wang Zhenfu tomorrow and merge the two armies. We will all withdraw to Dengzhou and spend a year to retrain and reorganize. Shangzhou and Lu's,

Leave it to Dengzhou soldiers to garrison."

After everyone heard this, they didn't know what it felt like. Merger is a good thing, but this way makes people unhappy.

In the county government office, Wang Ruohai said to Wang Xiaolie: "Tonight Li Jinglue will discuss with his generals whether to agree to merge. But I see that the governor doesn't care about this matter at all."

Wang Xiaolie said: "It's not that we don't care, it's that it's useless for us to care about this matter. We only care about what Li Jinglue wants."

Wang Ruohai was silent for a while and said: "Zhenfu, forgive me, you have done too much. If you agree to Li Jinglue that after the two armies merge, they will still separate their troops, he should readily agree. After the merger, we will find a way

Edit, what else could anyone say at that time?"

Wang Xiaolie looked at Wang Ruohai and said sternly: "Counsellor, it's not that I don't understand this kind of cleverness, and it's not that I don't know how to use it, but I don't use it. With this little cleverness, even if the merger can go smoothly for a while, there will be endless troubles in the future!"

The army has soldiers from Shaanzhou and soldiers from Dengzhou. There will definitely be endless conflicts in the future. It is not a last resort. There cannot be mountains in the army and must be united as one! It’s not that I don’t value Li Jinglue’s 20,000 people, or that I can’t trust Li Jinglue, but

We must fundamentally prevent the army from splitting! For this purpose, even if Li Jinglue disagrees, I will not compromise! This is the fundamental principle! Many things in this world cannot be discussed!"

Wang Ruohai couldn't help but froze after hearing this. He didn't expect that Wang Xiaolie would say this, which was beyond his expectation. During the battle in Guanzhong, Wang Ruohai could clearly feel that Wang Xiaolie was more confident than before and no longer like before.

.

Wang Xiaolie is right. According to his approach, it will be more difficult now and Li Yanxian will not easily accept it. But once he accepts it, there will be a lot less trouble later. And if he gives in now, maybe Li Yanxian will be easier to accept the merger, but there will be trouble later.

Indispensable. Especially according to Wang Xiaolie's arrangement, Li Yanxian and Li Yanxian are two leaders, and the generals below will naturally be assigned to each.

Wang Ruohai nodded: "What Zhen Fu said is that if it is difficult now, it will be much easier in the future. I underestimated Zhen Fu."

Wang Xiaolie said: "Senior, what we have to do is a big thing. If we want to accomplish it, many people have to sacrifice and change themselves. It's not that the counselor underestimated me, but that the counselor didn't expect what I would sacrifice. Don't
