As soon as Zhang Zong entered the hall, the burly old man sitting in Li Hong's right hand immediately turned his head to look at him. Zhang Zong was also looking at the other person at this time. Although the old man was sitting there, his waist was still straight and his burly figure looked like a half-piece iron tower.

"Come on Zhang Zong, let me introduce you. This is Xue Rengui and Xue!" Li Hong immediately introduced to him with a smile when he saw Zhang Zong coming in.

"It's him!" Zhang Zong was not surprised when he heard Li Hong's words. When he first came in and saw this mighty old man, he had already guessed in his heart. After all, he had known that Xue Rengui was going back to Beijing before, and it was time to calculate.

"Thank you, Mr. Xue, for saving you twice!" Xue Rengui suddenly stood up at this time, then bowed to Zhang Zong and said.

Although Zhang Zong discovered that Xue Rengui was very tall and burly just now, he found that the other party was nearly two taller than him. Moreover, Xue Rengui's limbs were extremely thick, his arms were thicker than his thighs, and he felt extremely oppressive when standing there.

"General Xue, you are polite, but why did you say you would save me twice?" Zhang Zong was stunned for a moment before he realized, and then asked in confusion.

At the same time, he was also looking at Xue Rengui, and saw that the other party had a face with a national character, a lion's nose and a big mouth, and his eyes were like bells. He looked extremely majestic, but Xue Rengui was not young anymore, his hair and beard were a bit gray, his forehead and eyes were covered with fine lines, and his face was a little tired. I thought it was a day and night trip, and he didn't have much rest at all.

"Has Mr. Zhang forgotten that last time Liu Xiang was transferred back to Liaodong, I was transferred to take charge of the navy. If it weren't for the later persuading Liu Xiang and asking me to take charge of the army again, I would be in great trouble." Xue Rengui smiled kindly.

"I remember this, but it was just a small task, and it was thanks to the prince and Liu Xiang dealing with each other. I didn't do much effort!" Zhang Zong said modestly when he heard this, but even if this happened, it was only one thing. Why did Xue Rengui say that he had helped him twice?

"Zhang Zong, don't be humble. If it weren't for your persistence, Liu Xiang and I wouldn't have attached importance to this issue." Li Hong also smiled and said.

"Yes, when Xue learned that it was Xue Shi who helped me, I wanted to express my gratitude to Xue Shi Shi himself many times. Unfortunately, Liaodong has been in peace and I have never found a chance to return to Beijing." When Xue Rengui said this, he couldn't help but sigh. He has been lucky in recent years. If it weren't for Zhang Zong's help, he would have never been able to turn over in Liaodong again.

"General Xue is polite. I am just doing my best to do my best. Compared to my contribution, General Xue sacrificed his life to kill the enemy and defend his country in Liaodong, which is our role model!" Zhang Zong said humbly again.

Seeing Zhang Zong, a young man, look calm in the face of praise, Xue Rengui also secretly admired himself. He had been in the army for half his life and had seen many young talents, but he rarely met young people as outstanding as Zhang Zong.

"Scholar Zhang not only helped me last time, but also helped me this time. If you hadn't seen through the news of Tubo's concealment of Zanpu's death, I'm afraid I would never have the chance to avenge my previous shame in my life, so this time, Mr. Zhang, please accept a greeting from Xue!" Xue Rengui said as he bowed to Zhang Zong.

This shocked Zhang Zong, and then hurriedly returned the court: "General Xue is so polite. I just did what I should do. And this time, whether it is sending troops or transferring the general back to the capital, it is all about His Majesty's intention. So if the general wants to thank him, it's better to thank His Majesty!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang. Before I came to see the prince, I had already met Your Majesty. Your Majesty treats me as a national soldier, and I will also revenge him. If I cannot win this battle, I will commit suicide in front of the formation!" When Xue Rengui spoke at the end, his eyes also looked stern. This battle was his battle of revenge, and he would not be allowed to fail anyway.

Xue Rengui fought countless wars throughout his life, and could almost be said to be invincible and made great achievements for the Tang Dynasty. However, he did not expect that he suffered a crushing defeat in Dafeichuan a few years ago. Although the crime was not on him, it was mainly because the deputy general manager Guo Daifeng did not obey the order, which led to the loss of logistics supplies by Tubo, and he suffered a crushing defeat. But he was the head coach after all, so the account was also taken over by him.

For Xue Rengui, who was proud, Dafeichuan was the biggest stain in his life. He even lived a very depressed life in recent years because he felt that he would never have a day to save his reputation in his life, but he did not expect that joy came from the sky. Tubo Zanpu died of illness and made the Tang Dynasty decide to send troops. This made him ecstatic. From the time he received the order, he immediately rushed to Chang'an day and night.

"General Xue's desire to revenge is understandable, but you must not act impulsively. Tubo is still your old opponent, Lun Qinling. This person is very difficult to deal with!" Although Zhang Zong admired Xue Rengui's courage to move forward, he was still worried that he would be blinded by his personal grudges and would be too impulsive to be seized by the enemy's opportunity.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your reminder, but you don't have to worry. In recent years, I have been considering the Battle of Dafeichuan and have done countless deductions on the map. As long as I give me an army of 50,000 people, I will definitely be able to retake Tuyuhun!" Xue Rengui first thanked Zhang Zong, and then said with great confidence.

Zhang Zong didn't know how to fight, but seeing Xue Rengui was so confident, he felt much more relieved. Although Xue Rengui was eager to take revenge, at his age, he believed that he would not make mistakes due to impulse. Especially since he had been confronting Tubo for many years, he was more familiar with Tubo than anyone else. Since he dared to boast about Haikou, he must be sure to win.

"Zhang Zong, General Xue quietly entered the city this morning, and will leave the capital overnight tonight and rush to the southwest. Taking advantage of the time now, why not let me hold a banquet? How about we see General Xue off together?" Li Hong said again.

"I'll leave tonight. Is time so tight?" Zhang Zong looked at Xue Rengui in surprise and said.

"Military information is urgent. The four towns of Anxi are ready. They are waiting for me to arrive in the southwest and launch an attack together, so I must also arrive at the army as quickly as possible!" Xue Rengui also explained. For him, this time, the national hatred and family hatred are calculated together, so he is also anxious now, wishing to put on his wings and fly into the army.
