General Guan summoned the generals of the five armies to discuss matters. The first to arrive was the Northern Army general Guan Xing.

"General Guan, please come in directly. General Zhendong has been waiting for a long time."

Hearing this, Guan Xing took two steps forward, and then asked hesitantly:

"Is anyone else here?"

"General, no."

"Oh." Guan Xing nodded, "That's good."

After saying that, he walked into the meeting hall.

As expected, General Zhendong was sitting on the main seat, thinking about something.

Seeing Guan Xing come in, he was about to stand up when Guan Xing quickly stretched out his hand:

"Hey, don't do this, don't do this!"

Seeing that there was indeed no one around, Guan Xing breathed a sigh of relief:

"Sanniang, you are General Zhendong. Logically speaking, I should salute you when I reach this point."

"But I am your brother. There is no one else at this time, so you should say hello to me in private."

"It's better than this. We're even. Even if we're even, I'll find a seat and sit by myself. Don't be polite."

After saying that, Guan Xing found a place to sit down with a look of constipation.

General Zhendong saw this and smiled slightly:

"Didn't Alang want my brother to be the Sili school captain last year? Who wouldn't want my brother to do that?"

In fact, when the military was restructured, Alang suggested that his brother give up his position as the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army.

First, to avoid taboos. After all, the Central Protectorate was in charge of the internal and external military affairs, his two uncles were also in charge of the Northern and Southern armies, and a loyal younger brother, Zhao Sanqian, was in charge of the Tiger Cavalry Army.

These three armies are the absolute main force in defending Guanzhong.

If the southern army general's surname was not Zhang, there would be a right lady in the Central Protector's Mansion who was also surnamed Zhang.

I'm afraid that no matter how kind the emperor is, he will always be afraid in his heart.

Therefore, what General Zhendong said to Madam You just now was indeed true to his heart.

If Mrs. Right is really completely on the side of the Central Protectorate, she will not be able to understand clearly.

Because this will only cause the palace to become truly suspicious of Alang.

If it really comes to that point, the friendship that Alang and the Emperor have built up over the years will only be quickly exhausted.

It can be explained that the person in the palace wanted to support Wei Yan in order to achieve balance.

It's a pity that the method was too hasty, and Wei Yan was too disappointed!

At the beginning of the restructuring, Alang suggested that his brother give up his position as the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army and become the commander-in-chief of the Sili School. This was actually out of this consideration.

Sili Xiaowei is equivalent to the governor of Sizhou, and can be said to be the first governor in the world.

Compared to being the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army, he has already been promoted higher.

Guan Xing smiled bitterly:

"At that time, I thought that after the restructuring, I could lead the Northern Army and achieve some military exploits, but I didn't expect that something like this would happen so quickly..."

Of course General Zhendong understands.

After all, as a military general, who doesn’t want to kill thieves and perform meritorious service on the battlefield?

Guan Xing was silent for a moment and then asked:

"Sanniang, tell me the truth, are you sure you can go this time?"

General Zhendong shook his head:

"Brother, you are also the leader. You should know what happened before the formation. How can you say that you will definitely win?"

"However, I promised in front of His Majesty that Hedong will not be lost, but it is also true."

"Isn't the purpose of luring the traitors at Zhi Pass to contain the Confederate Army?"

"So in my opinion, they must also be worried about the strength of the Han cavalry, so they dare not easily enter the plains east of the river to fight with the Han."

"It's just the land of Shangdang..." General Zhendong pondered, and shook his head again, "The terrain of Shangdang is complex, with flat land conducive to cavalry and mountainous terrain conducive to infantry guarding."

"If the army really wants to enter Shangdang to fight Sima Yi, and advance with both feet and cavalry, even Alang will not dare to say that he can be completely sure."

When Guan Xing heard this, he couldn't help showing a worried look on his face:

"This is exactly what I'm worried about. When you lead the army to Hedong, if you haven't arrived yet, you must be careful and don't advance rashly."

General Zhendong heard another meaning from Guan Xing's words, and saw her eyebrows raised:

"Brother, what do you mean by this? Don't you want to lead the army with me this time?"

Guan Xing sighed:

"Sanniang is going here. It can be said that she is taking away the entire Chinese army. In addition, Mingwen will definitely be rushing there as well."

Having said this, he glanced outside subconsciously, and then continued:

"When the time comes, you and your wife will lead the Chinese army outside, and you will have the right to control the foreign army..."

Guan Xing didn't know how to continue speaking, so he remained silent for a while:

"You must also know the story of Wang Jian leading the entire army of Qin to conquer Chu."

For some words, just stop talking.

A couple, a loyal younger brother, almost unlimited military power, Pingcheng in the north of Taiyuan is still a food town...

If you are really serious, it will be easy to build the mountain again.

Although he may not be a high-profile brother-in-law, staying in Chang'an is still an attitude, right?

General Zhendong was silent, then nodded and said slowly:

"Brother's considerations make sense."

She looked at Guan Xing and asked again:

"Brother, haven't you always been looking forward to leading the army and making achievements? This time, maybe it's a good opportunity, but why are you so willing to give up?"

"In my opinion, even if brother wants to withdraw from the Northern Army, it is not too late to retreat after this battle."

Guan Xing shook his head:

"Forget it, it's true to say that, but why do you need to be too satisfied with your life?"

"If I win this battle, I'm afraid I won't be able to withdraw from the Northern Army in a short time."

How can there be any reason to change generals after winning a battle?

Even if the general's own opinions are not taken into account, shouldn't the opinions of the generals below be taken into consideration?

"And if we lose, well, of course, I don't think the big man will lose. What I mean is, if, if we really lose, wouldn't I be the one who is incompetent in leading the army and is forced to leave?"

Guan Xing had a rare reputation. Even when the Guan family was disliked by others in Shu, he was still valued by the prime minister. It was not without reason.

Guan Xing spoke, as if he had finally let go of the stone in his heart. He shook his head:

"I have always been unconvinced before. After all, you are a girl and you are married to another family. Even if you have the reputation of Guan Suo, I still have to be the one to revitalize the Guan family."

"Who would have thought that if we look at it now, the world only knows the name of Shiro of the Guan family, but they have never heard that there is another Guan Xing in the Guan family."

"I can't compare to you in this army. It's better to leave as soon as possible and establish yourself in the court."

"From now on, the two of us, brother and sister, both civil and military, can be regarded as a legend in the Guan family of the Han Dynasty."

General Zhendong's feelings in his heart were a bit complicated at first, but when he heard the end, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Brother can see clearly, but little sister can't say anything else. But I don't know if brother doesn't plan to go this time, who will lead the Northern Army?"

Since Guan Xing had been considering this matter for a long time, he naturally decided:

"Pingbei General Ma Zhonghua (also known as Ma Dai, borrowed from Chao Three Kingdoms), when the Northern and Southern Armies were first established, there were veterans of the Xiliang Army."

"Although there are not many left in these years, the Northern and Southern armies were able to build up. The few cavalry the Ma family brought from Liangzhou played a big role."

"Now that Ma Zhonghua is the Sima of the Northern Army, it is appropriate for him to lead the army and follow you to Hedong."

"Um, General Pingbei?"

General Zhendong pondered for a moment, his eyes flashed, and finally nodded slowly:

"It's a good choice."

The reason why he is a good candidate is not only because of his status as an old man in the army.

Also because of Ma Dai's identity.

Ma, the daughter of the Marquis of Zhuxiang (i.e. Ma Chao), married King Anping (i.e. Liu Li, Liu Chan's younger brother).

And the wife of General Zhao is the Zhao Ma family who dotes on Zhao Sanqian.
