When the Caizhou soldier saw that the commander was angry, he hurriedly covered his face and ran away. Commander Li glanced at the back of the chief magistrate with resentment and left with a sneer.

This scene had fallen into Xu Wen's eyes, and his brows couldn't help but frown.

Xu Wen had just told a craftsman that where to lay trunches and deer antlers wood on the open ground outside the city, where to lay pits, how to lay iron slings in the moat, where to dig a trapped horse pit, and insert deer antler guns and bamboo sticks into the pit. When he turned around, he saw that his son was looking at the city as if he was thinking, he came over and asked, "Jing'er, what do you see?"

Xu Jing looked back at the group of craftsmen and whispered to Xu Wen: "Dad, the Yangzhou soldiers are too harsh to the Caizhou soldiers who surrendered. Dad often said that the city is strong but the small and weak, the city is large and the city is small and the soldiers are small, and there are many people who guard it, and the stock is accumulated outside. The powerful do not need life, the guarding equipment is insufficient, and the military pay is not enough, and the city is not guarded, and even if there are high walls and dangerous cities, they must abandon it. Now the guards of Shouchun cannot go on blind dates, and the punishment is heavy, and the son is worried. "Even if my father arranges this Shouchun city into a wall of iron, and water cannot be poured in and needles cannot be inserted, there may be a big problem."

Xu Wen smiled bitterly and said, "I have told Jishuai that the Yangzhou soldiers here are all subordinates of Jishuai. Jishuai want to win people's hearts, so now he has to turn a blind eye and he has to give them favors. How can Yangzhou be equal to surrendered soldiers? Although Jishuai has issued an order, but the people below are hiding, so what can we do?"

Xu Wen gently stroked his beard, raised his head and looked at the sky, and said confidently: "Jing'er doesn't have to worry too much. The commander who commanded the troops this time must be the Seventh Prince Li Jie or Tian Lingzi. However, whether it is the Seventh Prince or Tian Lingzi, it is okay to do political work, but he is not good at attacking and defending the city. At this moment, Huang Chao conquered the dangerous Tongguan with only three thousand elite soldiers. Tian Lingzi held tens of thousands of heavy troops but could not defend this Tongguan. Even if this Shouchun City was not perfect, they would have to return home in a defeat!"

"Dad, don't forget that there is Duan Mingyu in Chang'an now. This man defeated Huang Chao several times and even conquered Bianliang, which Zhu Wen's 100,000 troops were guarding. He was extremely powerful..." Xu Jing couldn't help but remind him.

"My son doesn't have to worry too much. Duan Mingyu's ability to defeat Huang Chao several times was simply because of the powerful cavalry and field groups in his hands. Field battles were naturally no problem, and attacking and defending the city was not necessarily the case. He captured Bianzhou, just relying on Li Keyong's assistance." Xu Wen said slowly.

"In this way, the child will feel relieved." Xu Jing responded, raised his eyes and looked at the city, as if there were no time when a dense Tang army would appear under the empty city.

...

"Seventh Prince, how much credit has you made for the Huang Chao Rebellion? Even though Tian has gained the trust of His Majesty, he has not been able to share his worries for His Majesty. Tian is really frightened. Let me give it to my slave this time to quell the rebellion in Jianghuai." In the court, the officials were quarreling in a mess, and they were just fighting to be the head coach of the Southern Expedition. The focus of the competition was nothing more than the prime minister and the prince. These two old men all agreed to wrestle the arm in front of Li Yan. Tian Lingzi said this sentence, but the seventh prince was no longer able to fight. He shook his head and sighed. It was not the time to challenge Tian Lingzi to break up. Judging from Tian Lingzi's firm attitude, he was bound to win the position of head coach. Now his strength is slightly inferior to Tian Lingzi. The seventh prince must give in.

Just imagine that after this battle, it would be fine if Tian Lingzi was defeated. If he wins, he will definitely be more at ease with the control of the army.

Tian Lingzi lost a lot of defeat against Huang Chao, and he happened to use this military merit to restore his reputation. At the same time, he could also install his confidant in the Shence Army and blatantly exchange the Shence Army for a major blood exchange. His military power will be greater. In short, Tian must firmly control his power in his hands. Although the Seventh Prince made a concession, it does not mean that he will completely give up this opportunity to make contributions. No matter what, he must also gain some due benefits for his own people. The Seventh Prince blinked at Duan Mingyu, and Duan Mingyu immediately understood and went up to the mountain and shouted long live: "Your Majesty, I am willing to share your worries."

Li Yan couldn't help but laugh. This time he finally stopped making noise. He stretched out his left hand: "Okay, very good. Duan Qing asks you, Tian Aiqing and Yang Aiqing, come forward together to listen to the seal."

Two people stood up from the left and right sides. One was naturally Tian Lingzi, the envoy of the Tenth Army of Shence Army, while the other was Yang Fugong, the left envoy of Shence Army. Yang Fugong and Duan Mingyu had the same military ranks. The three of them were in charge of the 150,000 army of Shence Army.

"Yang Xing, Yangzhou, made a secret plan, and from now on, I will deprive him of his position as the commander of the Jieshou, and grant Tian Lingzi the recruitment of the Jianghuai army. Yang Fugong and Duan Mingyu were the deputy recruitment of the Jianghuai army. We will raise our 100,000 Shen Ce troops in Chang'an to send troops to Jiangnan. I hope that the three dear ministers will live up to the expectations and fight this battle for me." Li Yan sat on the throne excitedly and issued an order with great majesty.

"I will die to repay Your Majesty's kindness." The three of them all bowed to thank you for your kindness.

"Seventh Prince Li Jie, I ordered you to lead the remaining 50,000 Shen Ce Army and be sure to guard my capital. At the same time, the food and grass logistics of the three armies will be handed over to you to coordinate. Brother, the three beloved ministers are about to go on an expedition, and you will decide all the matters in Chang'an. Don't let my high hopes down." Li Yan smiled proudly, leaving all the troubles to others, and now he is much more idle. Thinking of this, this foolish monarch couldn't help but admire his ability to dispatch.

Tian Lingzi seemed to be struck by lightning, but the Seventh Prince was overjoyed when he heard this. This means that he could take the opportunity to have command of the 50,000 remaining Shence Army, and at the same time, he could turn the government affairs of the court into his own one-man show during the expedition of the army. This time, the old thief Tian couldn't steal chickens and turned a handful of rice to credit. He immediately stepped forward with a smile and said, "My brother will receive the order to thank you."

In the White Tiger Jiedu Hall in Chang'an City, Tian Lingzi sat upright on the handsome chair, and there was a slight slaughter between his eyebrows and shouted loudly.

This was the second time that Tian Lingzi gathered civil and military officials in the Baihu Hall. The first time he was to serve as the Tongguan Defense Envoy, and formally met with the officials as the official in his capacity as the camp recruitment envoy. However, this time, he wanted to determine the direction of the attack of the 100,000 Shence Army and dispatch troops to prepare for his first battle after he served as the Jianghuai Recruitment Envoy.
