This time, he even threw out all his ancestors for eighteen generations, which was even more extravagant than Liu Laozhi.

Yang Zhao and Yang Su narrowed their eyes slightly, feeling that they had underestimated the potential of this new Wenli.

If he doesn't have to be so shameless, Xin Wenli might have the qualifications of both civil and military talents. With this shameless spirit, he might be able to thrive in the ranks of civil servants.

As for the rest of the generals, they just stared in amazement.

A moment later, a large group of fierce, strong and brave men gathered in the hall and began to cry and wail.

The army marched eastwards and northwards for the first battle, who wouldn't want to gain great merit?

Chapter 734: A plan to sow discord in Longmen City

Hedong Defense Line, Longmen City, the Marshal’s temporary residence.

A group of fierce and powerful generals were crying and wailing in the hall, which was so earth-shaking.

This man said that he had not been able to move his hands and feet for hundreds of years and his whole body was rusted.

The one who said that his ancestors for eighteen generations were watching over him and that he had to work hard.

Others said that their parents had appeared in their dreams, telling them that their life span was coming to an end and they would die if they did not fight.

Not only Yang Zhao, Yang Su and Xie Xuan were also numb from listening.

The soldiers guarding outside the hall all had strange expressions on their faces, as if they wished they could poke out their ears and pretend that they heard nothing.

Damn, is this something that ordinary people like us can hear?

I'm afraid those generals in the palace will kill me and others to silence them when they realize what's happening.

boom!

After a while, seeing that the generals in the hall were preparing for a fight after their verbal attacks failed to convince them, Yang Su and Xie Xuan finally turned their faces and kicked over the table.

"Liu Laozhi, if you make trouble again, you will be a fireman for me."

"Xin Wenli, if you weren't your sister, I would have skinned you alive today!"

All the generals in the hall eventually served under Xie Xuan and Yang Su. They were all very angry after making such a big joke in front of His Royal Highness Prince Zhao.

Especially Yang Su, who had begun to get a little carried away and was talking without thinking.

"Cough cough!"

Yang Zhao slightly awkwardly took his hand away from Xin Yue'e's waist, glared at Yang Su and Xin Wenli sharply, and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't talk about irrelevant things."

Yang Su knew he had said something wrong and felt embarrassed.

On the contrary, Xin Wenli had a smug look on his face and kept winking at the generals beside him.

Selling one's sister for fame and fortune is something we despise.

At this moment, most of the generals were envious and jealous of Xin Wenli.

Only Xie Xuan secretly sighed that he had a good sister, and then he coughed lightly, attracting everyone's attention, and said: "Your Highness, General Yang, and everyone else, the situation on the Bingzhou battlefield has been decided. The Li clan and the Turks are even more divided and opposed to each other, and they may fall out at any time."

"However, I have been collecting all the battle reports for the past ten days and have found that the casualty statistics on the battlefield show that the injury rate of the elite soldiers of the Li Clan has dropped by more than 70%, while the casualty rate of ordinary soldiers has increased by 40%. Even many talented generals of the Li Clan have disappeared one after another."

"I wonder if the Li family is setting up some conspiracy trap against us."

When it came to business, everyone's faces started to turn serious.

Especially Yang Su, after hearing Xie Xuan's words, he also pondered for a while and said, "Xie Xuan's words make sense. I have also found that the intensity of the war with the Li clan has decreased a lot in recent days, and our speed of penetration has also greatly increased."

"In addition, the elite soldiers in the army only get one bushel of grain per day, while the ordinary soldiers only get three pounds. The number of stoves in the Li Clan's camp is incorrect, and the traces of the grain carts on the road have also been significantly reduced. In other words, the Li Clan's army is just bluffing, and at least more than 60% of the elite soldiers are hidden."

Xie Xuan and Yang Su are both top-notch generals, and they are extremely meticulous.

Many strange things that Yang Zhao had not noticed were brought up by Xie Xuan and Yang Su at this moment, causing everyone to fall into deep thought.

Although they were bluffing on the surface, they actually hid most of their elite troops in secret.

This is either a desperate attempt to survive or a trap.

When a large army is fighting, they have to advance step by step carefully and cannot be careless at all.

At this critical moment when a full-scale counterattack was about to begin, the abnormalities within the Li clan's army quickly made Yang Zhao and everyone else look solemn.

Yang Zhao glanced at the generals and said, "The Li clan is abnormal. It is indeed a problem. We need to find a way to test it. I wonder if you have any plans. Feel free to speak frankly."

Liu Laozhi said without thinking: "Send out scouts and explore more."

Qu Tutong was mature and steady. He said, "We can recruit a large number of death row prisoners and organize them into a death squad to attack the Li clan's camp and force them to reveal their true colors."

As Liu Laozhi and Qu Tutong spoke, other generals also talked about some commonly used tactics in the army.

Unfortunately, although these methods are effective, they can easily expose Yang Zhao's army's intention to launch a full-scale counterattack.

After a moment.

Wait until all the generals have spoken their minds.

Xie Xuan just opened his mouth and said: "I intend to stir up a dispute between the Li clan and the Turks, drive the tiger to devour the wolf, and let the Turks test the Li clan."

Yang Su quickly added: "First, use arrows to break the tip of the brocade, spread the letter of exoneration, and then send a fearless man who is good at speaking and eloquent to the Li family camp to deliver a letter of surrender."

Yang Zhao smiled and said, "It would be best to erase a few words at the key points of the surrender letter, right?"

Xie Xuan and Yang Su bowed and said, "Your Highness is wise."

Drive the tiger to devour the wolf and let the Turks test the Li family.

This is indeed a very good strategy. If used well, it might even completely trigger the conflict between the Li family and the Turks.

After discussing for a while, everyone soon perfected the plan.

Then Xie Xuan drafted a letter, Yang Zhao excerpted it, and wrote a scribbled "letter of surrender" by hand.

Wait until all this is done.

Yang Zhao just looked at the generals in the hall and said, "Who do you think can take on this important task among those who are sent into the camp?"

Not only did they enter the Li clan's camp to solicit surrender, but they also had to stir up conflicts between the Li clan and the Turks.

This is not something that an ordinary person can undertake. At least among all the generals present, except Xie Xuan and Yang Su, most of the others are unqualified.

This matter requires not only bravery but also a strong and calm mind and strategy.

Just rush forward or start an all-out war.

The generals in the hall were the most qualified to take charge, but they were helpless against this kind of technical provocation.

It seems that no one can take on the responsibility.

Yang Su paused, then said, "Your Highness, a young general has recently joined my camp. He is very good at the art of diplomacy and has also been to other places outside Guanlong to lobby other forces. He may be able to take on this important task."

Yang Zhao was slightly surprised and said, "Oh? Marshal Yang has such a talent under his command? Please come and see him quickly."

Not long after, a handsome and tall young general, led by two of Yang Su's personal soldiers, quickly came into the hall.

The moment I saw this young man.

Yang Xuangan stood up suddenly and said, "So it was you, this tea-smelling thief. I have been looking for you for a long time. If it weren't for your instigation, I wouldn't have been beaten in the army..."

Chapter 735: One Man Destroys King Xuan Ce

During this military meeting in the hall, Yang Xuangan hardly said a word from beginning to end. He seemed very low-key, completely different from his usual rough and flamboyant character.

Yang Zhao originally thought that Yang Xuangan's personality had changed because he had been with Yang Su for too long.

Now it seems that there may be some hidden secret behind Yang Xuangan's performance in today's military meeting.

And this time.

When Yang Su saw that Yang Xuangan had lost his temper and disrupted the important matters of His Royal Highness Prince Zhao, he angrily kicked Yang Xuangan to the ground.

"You evil son, what do you think this place is? How dare you be so presumptuous to the people summoned by His Highness?"

At this moment, Yang Su's beard was shaking with anger.

In the past, Yang Su was very fond of and satisfied with his eldest son Yang Xuangan.

Not to mention anything else, but his talent in martial arts and bravery in leading troops to fight are enough to make Yang Su feel deeply proud. Even in the Guanlong area where there are many military generals, the combat effectiveness of Yang Xuangan and his Leizhi Army is definitely enough to rank among the top three, and can compete with the Jiuyang Guards and the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry.

It was Yang Xuangan's temper that gave Yang Su a headache.

No matter how fierce he is, he is still a good fighter.

But Yang Xuangan was the kind of guy who easily got cocky. Having made some contributions, he would dare to throw tantrums, relying on the fact that he was from the same Hongnong Yang family as his father, Yang Su.

Even in Chang'an City, Yang Xuangan was considered a very ostentatious second-generation rich man.

Only when he was in the army did Yang Xuangan seem slightly better.

But just a few days ago, on the battlefield of the Hedong defense line, perhaps because the Li clan withdrew a large number of elite troops, a loophole appeared in the stalemate between the two sides.

Yang Su failed to discover it for a while, so no military orders were issued.

It was Yang Xuangan who discovered this opportunity. Under the instigation of a young general, he led an army of 20,000 Lei Li troops to defeat the Li clan army and even encircled and wiped out a Turkic cavalry unit of 10,000 people.

This is a good thing, we won a victory.

But Yang Xuangan was too ostentatious, and Yang Su was extremely strict in disciplining his army. Seeing that Yang Xuangan was getting cocky, Yang Su immediately used the excuse of acting on his own to strip Yang Xuangan of all his credit and gave him a severe beating.

Yang Xuangan also knew his own character, but he just couldn't change it.

Therefore, at this military meeting, he covered his mouth tightly, fearing that he would anger his father again. If he was criticized in front of all his colleagues, it would be extremely embarrassing.

After finally getting through the military meeting, Yang Xuangan was secretly delighted that nothing got into trouble after all.

But just when it was almost the end, Wang Xuance's arrival made Yang Xuangan explode on the spot.

Listening to the report from the guard next to him.

Yang Zhao soon learned the whole story, smiled, and quickly ordered someone to stop Yang Su from beating up Yang Xuangan on the spot.

Yang Xuangan was a flamboyant and foul-mouthed person, but he was not a pure playboy or a bad guy.

At most, this kind of person just speaks without restraint and easily offends others.

Yang Zhao thought to himself that he was definitely not the kind of monarch who would get angry because of words and kill meritorious officials indiscriminately. He did not dislike Yang Xuangan's temperament.

Anyway, Yang Xuangan never showed off in front of him.

A wave of persuasion and comfort won the loyalty of Yang Su and Yang Xuangan, father and son.

Wait until the farce is over.

Yang Zhao just looked at the young general who was extremely calm and said, "Wang Xuance, when I was in Chang'an, I heard about Lord Gao Shilian's recommendation of you."

Wang Xuance's eyes sparkled when he heard this, and he half-knelt down with a hint of excitement and said, "General Wang Xuance, I greet His Majesty Prince Zhao."

Yang Zhao casually squeezed the power of heaven and earth, helped him up, and said: "I give it to you, and you can avoid empty formalities in the future. Do you know why I and the generals summoned you here today?"

Those who are good at diplomacy are usually wise.

Wang Xuance in the original trajectory was also a very powerful person. He destroyed an entire country single-handedly and was extremely cruel.

Yang Zhao’s question now.

In a sense, it can also be regarded as a test and temptation for Wang Xuance.

If the other party can guess the purpose of calling him here, it will be enough to prove that he is a person who is good at thinking and can be reused.

Wang Xuance glanced across the hall, his thoughts racing, and soon he said confidently: "Your Highness and the two army marshals are here, they must be discussing matters involving the entire Bingzhou. Right now the Li Clan's army is exhausted, and the Turkic army is irritable. If my guess is correct, Your Highness wants me to go on a diplomatic mission to the Li Clan to stir up conflicts between the local coalition forces, thereby creating an opportunity to launch a full-scale counterattack on the entire Bingzhou?"

There are not too detailed battle statistics and information, but just by glancing at the crowd, one can guess about 60 to 70 percent of the truth.

Yang Zhao's eyes suddenly became sharp when he looked at Wang Xuance.

Compared with the bravery, aptitude and cultivation of many generals present, Wang Xuance is far inferior.

But in terms of intelligence, Wang Xuance can almost defeat all the generals except Xie Xuan and Yang Su.

History will not lie, Wang Xuance was indeed a talented person.

Yang Zhao was delighted and said, "Although your talents are not comprehensive, they are almost the same. As you said, I will ask you to go to the Li Clan's camp as an envoy. Do you dare to take it?"

Wang Xuance immediately bowed deeply and said, "I am willing to die for your Highness at any time."

Yang Zhao laughed loudly and said, "It's hard to find a smart person in my army. I can't bear to let you die. The Li family is weak now. It seems that they are hiding their true intentions and trying to survive. I want you to go to the Li family camp and test it. If possible, hand over a letter of surrender and let the Turks find it..."

Wang Xuance was a smart man, so Yang Zhao didn't need to explain in too much detail.
