Chapter 369 Beating the dog for the owner to see
Chapter 377

Zhang Xuan glanced at Huo Changqing, his expression was very calm and indifferent.

The reason why he didn't give Huo Changqing face was because Huo Changqing was a treacherous villain who repeatedly framed him in front of Li Heng; secondly, he used this to express his strong dissatisfaction with Li Heng.

The army won the first battle, and as soon as the situation was stabilized, Li Heng sent an internal supervisor to supervise the army.Before it was time for the cunning rabbit to die, Li Heng began to have suspicions. This kind of magnanimity and temperament really made Zhang Xuan despise.

Looking at this posture, if the Anlushan rebel army is quelled in the future, and the country is settled down, will he immediately seize his military power or even take himself?Zhang Xuan sneered in his heart, his expression unchanged.

He had already known in his heart that as his achievements became greater and greater, the gap between him and Li Heng would become deeper and deeper.Before that, Li Heng was already dissatisfied that he didn't rush to Longzhou to escort him.It's just that Li Heng didn't dare to react in front of the enemy.

Huo Changqing hastily clasped his fists and said loudly, "Commander, Your Majesty has an order. Yan Zhenqing was defeated by the rebels one after another, and went to war without authorization, which almost caused the fall of Tongguan. Putting the center of the pass in a dangerous place is an unforgivable crime. The commander should take away Yan Zhenqing immediately. Military power, bind it to Lingzhou, and let His Majesty dispose of it."

"Didn't Supervisor Huo hear what this king said just now?" Zhang Xuan looked at Huo Changqing indifferently, a sternness flashed in his eyes.

Huo Changqing received a cold reception, and he kept holding back a fire in his heart. Now that he seized the opportunity, he would never let it go.He did have Li Heng's imperial edict in his hand.Besides, he felt that he was a celebrity around the emperor and an imperial envoy. Although Zhang Xuan was powerful, what could he do with him?Can Zhang Xuan fail to rebel like An Lushan?
Huo Changqing unfolded the imperial decree and said loudly, "Your Majesty's imperial decree, Zhang Xuan accepts it!"

After Huo Changqing finished reading Li Heng's imperial decree to dispose of Yan Zhenqing that he carried with him, Zhang Xuan took it, placed the soldiers on top of the main hall, and then said with a calm smile, "Of course Yan Zhenqing is guilty, and His Majesty's anger is also common. It's just that the king has already played Please, Your Majesty, let Yan Zhenqing pay for his meritorious deeds - shelve this matter for the time being, and wait for His Majesty's follow-up orders to discuss!"

Huo Changqing didn't expect that Zhang Xuan would refuse to carry out the emperor's will, so he couldn't help but angrily said, "This is His Majesty's will, is it possible that the commander-in-chief will resist the order?"

"Resisting the decree? The hat that Huo Jianjun buckled to this commander is really unbearable. I have already said that regarding Yan Zhenqing, His Majesty will definitely have a follow-up decree. Everything will be discussed after His Majesty's edict arrives. What's wrong? "

The corner of Zhang Xuan's mouth twitched.

Huo Changqing said in a loud voice, "The commander-in-chief deliberately shielded the criminal general, resisting the order and disrespecting him, what is his intention?"

As soon as Huo Changqing uttered these words, Zhang Xuan did not respond, and Feng Changqing and other generals who were present were already furious.Feng Changqing, Guo Ziyi, and Pugu Huai'en were better. How could Lei Wanchun restrain his fiery temper? He angrily got up and pointed at Huo Changqing and scolded, "How dare you slander the commander-in-chief, are you looking for death?"

Lei Wanchun spoke rudely, and Huo Changqing was furious when he heard the words. He glared at Lei Wanchun so angry that his lips trembled, "Who are you? How dare you be rude to my supervisor!"

Lei Wanchun cast a disdainful glance at Huo Changqing, and said proudly, "Under the command of the commander, Lei Wanchun, the general of the Left Guard of the Shence Army!"

"Okay, Lei Wanchun, don't be rude to Supervisor Huo! Stand back!" Zhang Xuan waved his hand.

Lei Wanchun didn't dare to say any more, and immediately bowed and retreated.

Zhang Xuan slowly got up and stared at Huo Changqing, his voice was low but increasingly stern, "Supervisor Huo, I think you are His Majesty's imperial envoy, and I will not pursue your nonsense today. Next time, this commander will definitely put your stick to the front of the army, so as to strengthen the army's morale!"

"About Yan Zhenqing's matter, this commander has repeatedly emphasized that Yan Zhenqing's loss of troops and loss of the city is not an achievement of war. Fan Yang's army and horses are strong, while Henan's army and horses are weak. Not to mention Yan Zhenqing, even if Ge Shuhan is placed in Henan, it will not help."

"Yan Zhenqing's crime is that Tongguan went to war without authorization. But there is a reason for the incident, and there is a reason for it!"

"This king has already asked His Majesty that Yan Zhenqing is definitely not an incompetent person, and what happened today can be regarded as a kind of blunder."

"The rebel army is currently at the moment when the court is employing people, and it is hard to find a general like Yan Zhenqing... If the Huo Jianjun refuses to accept--" Zhang Xuan said with a cold smile, "This king can give Huo Jianjun an army. , order you and Yan Zhenqing to attack the rebel camp at the same time, and see who is the incompetent!"

"Do you dare to obey orders?" Zhang Xuan shouted violently.

"Our family is the supervisor of the army, and we don't know how to lead the army. How can we lead the army to fight? Commander, this is difficult for a strong man!" Huo Changqing argued angrily.

"Since you don't understand military affairs and don't dare to go to battle to kill the enemy, why do you have to gossip in front of this commander and the generals?" Zhang Xuan's eyes were like knives. become worthless?"

"Yan Zhenqing is certainly guilty, but if Yan Zhenqing hadn't led the Henan army and horses to deal with the Anlushan rebels with all their strength, fight desperately, and block the rebels' footsteps, I am afraid that Tongguan would not be able to persist. The commander's army arrived! If there was no Yan Zhenqing, Anlushan would have died soon Just enter the pass!"

"Yan Zhenqing is certainly guilty, but when Yan Zhenqing led the army to fight against the rebels, when the soldiers of the three armies died in battle, where is Huo Jianjun?! Where are you?!"

"Now that the situation has stabilized, you, an internal eunuch, dare to make irresponsible remarks in front of me and the generals, and you are going to give me a hat of disrespect in an understatement. I want to ask you, you What are your intentions?"

Zhang Xuan's voice became more and more cold, and the eyes of the generals became more and more sharp and cold. Huo Changqing was speechless, startled and frightened, and dared not say a word.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Li Yu immediately coughed twice, smoothed things over and said with a smile, "Marshal, Huo Changqing lives in the palace all the time, so it's reasonable that he doesn't understand military affairs. Li Yu and Huo Changqing came to Tongguan on orders. The main thing is to boost the morale of the army, and at the same time, I also have a heart of serving the country... I also ask the commander-in-chief to learn from it!"

"I remember that the commander-in-chief once said: Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. As the prince, Li Yu also knows that the national crisis cannot be retreated! Commander, Li Yu is also good at archery and archery. Under the account, obey orders!"

Zhang Xuan slowly turned his head to look at Li Yu, and smiled slightly, "His Royal Highness the King of Chu has served the country with sincerity, which I admire greatly. Since His Royal Highness is willing to serve in the army, I will obey my orders!"

Zhang Xuan waved his hand, and the soldiers continued to serve food and wine, and the turmoil caused by Huo Changqing's intrusion immediately subsided.Li Yu saw that Zhang Xuan was giving him face, so he continued to invite Zhang Xuan to drink with a smile.

Huo Changqing sat there in extreme embarrassment, neither staying nor retreating, feeling like sitting on pins and needles.

……

……

The banquet seemed to end happily ever after.

In the middle of the night, Li Yujin sat in his residence, quietly staring at Huo Changqing who was blushing in front of him, and remained silent.

"Your Highness, Zhang Xuan disrespected His Majesty's will, and he was so arrogant and arrogant!..." Huo Changqing said in a low voice, "It's nothing if he doesn't take our family seriously, but our family is here on behalf of His Majesty. He To humiliate our family is to humiliate His Majesty!"

"Then what do you do? In the army, Zhang Xuan's military order is like a mountain. Do you still want to fight against him?"

"Besides, the An Lushan rebels are currently at present, and the father is still pointing at Zhang Xuan's rebellion. If you talk about it, the father will not do anything to Zhang Xuan."

A sneering smile appeared on the corner of Li Yu's mouth, "Actually, what Zhang Xuan said is not wrong. Although Zhang Xuan has made a thousand mistakes, his achievements in opening up territories and countering rebellion can't be erased even if you want to. Huo Changqing, If you made great feats like Zhang Xuan and controlled an army of more than [-], you would be even more arrogant and domineering than him!"

"Your Highness...our family..." Huo Changqing gritted his teeth in shame and indignation.

"Okay, Huo Changqing, you go back and rest. I would like to advise you, I am waiting to come to Tongguan, not to sing against Zhang Xuan, but to serve the country. Your narrow-mindedness, keep back to the emperor's side , Use it in the palace, in this army, if you are not decent, you will definitely suffer!"

"Stand back." Li Yu waved his hand.

"Yes, our family is retiring." Seeing that Li Yu seemed to be on Zhang Xuan's side, Huo Changqing felt helpless even though he was not angry.

Looking at the back of Huo Changqing leaving in embarrassment, Li Yu's expression changed for a long time, and finally he sighed softly, "Zhang Xuan, Zhang Xuan, the so-called beating a dog depends on the owner, but you humiliated Huo Changqing in public today, which is clearly a beating The dog showed it to the owner."

"Father, Zhang Xuan has already had a different heart. I am afraid that the rebellion in Anlu Mountain will subside, and Zhang Xuan will be born again...Father, I want to see what you will do when that time comes... ..."

Li Yu muttered to himself, leaned over his desk and hurriedly wrote a letter, sealed it, then called a bodyguard and gave a few instructions.

The guard left in a hurry.

……

……

After half an hour.

Nan Jiyun held a letter with a gloomy expression, and hurried into Zhang Xuan's handsome hall.

"Master, please look!"

Zhang Xuan took the letter, opened it, looked at it, was silent for a moment, and suddenly smiled, "Nanba, seal the letter, let Li Yu's people continue to send it to Lingzhou."

"Master, this..."

"It is impossible for us to intercept Li Yu's secret report to the emperor every time. Besides, this commander has a clear conscience and is open and aboveboard, so why should he be afraid of these slanderous words! If the king's guess is correct, I am afraid that Huo Changqing will also do it in the next few days. Send a report to His Majesty. Let them go, the sky is going to rain and the mother is going to marry, there is no way to stop it."

"Go." Zhang Xuan waved his hand.

Nan Jiyun sighed secretly, turned around and left with Li Yu's letter.

As soon as Nan Jiyun turned around, Zhang Xuan's expression became extremely solemn and cold.

"Li Heng, I want to see what you will do... Next, we will fight. As for Anlu Mountain, if I don't need to attack, he won't live long..." Zhang Xuan's thoughts flashed , slowly got up and walked towards the back court.
