Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

"Do you believe in King Yan?" Li Yao and Li Ju did not rush to make a decision, but knocked on the table thoughtfully, weighing the pros and cons.

They had heard of Fan Xin, the number one confidant of Emperor Zetian.

It only took less than a few years for him to be promoted from Qipin County Magistrate to King of Yan. His strength was so strong that even the current imperial court would give him three points.

A few days ago, in front of the emperor, he killed the minister of Dali Temple and the Xuanjia Army in front of Yingtian Gate, and successfully rescued a number of imperial prisoners.

If there is anyone in the world today who can compete with Li Longji, then only Fan Xin can do it.

Thinking of this, King E Li Yao frowned and said with some worry.

"Your Highness, Fan Xin can certainly compete with Li Longji, but how can you guarantee that he will not usurp our Li Tang kingdom afterwards?"

"The King of E is right. We should not only guard against Li Longji establishing another prince, but also guard against Fan Xin turning his back on the guest." Li Ju followed up the analysis while stroking his beard.

Facing the two people's worries, a mysterious sneer flashed across Li Ying's lips.

"Two of you, do you really think that this prince is in vain?"

"As far as I know, Fan Xin is a man who values ​​friendship the most, especially his kindness to Wu Zetian."

"It just so happens that there is something belonging to Wu Zetian here. If he knows about it, he will definitely help us."

"Oh, what is so important that Prince Yan owes us a favor?" Li Yao and Li Ju said in unison.

Li Ying smiled slightly, shook her finger, and gave it a try.

"This thing is unique to the Great Sage Emperor Zetian. You will know when it is handed over to Fan Xin."

.........

Prince Yan's Mansion, Fan Family.

After the attack by the government troops, the tranquility of Fanjiazhuang was completely broken, with ruins everywhere.

In order to prevent Li Longji from jumping over the wall in a hurry, Fan Xin sent someone to send his family members to the Youzhou base camp on the day he came back.

He stayed and waited for the final showdown with Li Longji.

"Report to your lord, a great victory on the right side. Huang Qi, Lin Tie, and Li Kaigu will lead 50,000 new troops to defeat Wuzhou, Lanzhou, Hezhou, Weizhou and other places!"

"At present, the remnants of the army have been forced into the Guazhou area, and they will all be annihilated soon!"

The door of the room was pushed open, and Liuzi said excitedly, holding the 800-mile urgent newspaper in his hand.

"Tell our people to block the news with all their strength, and not let the court know the real news until the Youzhou Army arrives in Luoyang."

"It's the prince. I'm humble enough to ask someone to pass the fake newspaper to Zhongshu's subordinates."

After Liu Zi left, Fan Xin glanced at Gao Xianzhi, who had a straight face and said nothing, and poured him a cup of tea.

"General Gao, how about my secret way of cultivating Chencang's secret ways? Maybe it will catch your eye?"

Gao Xianzhi sneered, raised his tea cup and drank it all in one gulp, then paused heavily on the table.

"When the three armies confront each other, they must defeat the enemy's will with real swords and real guns. This kind of conspiracy and tricks of yours will not be put on the table."

Seeing that Gao Xianzhi was disdainful of his plan, Fan Xin laughed loudly.

"Okay, since General Gao advocates the fineness of soldiers and the strength of generals, I will let you see the true combat power of the Youzhou Army!"

"Come here, join us on the battlefield!"

Boom boom boom!

With the rapid beating of drums, three thousand shirtless Qianniu Guards ran into the school grounds to gather in an orderly manner. They moved so fast that they didn't even need a cup of tea.

Seeing this scene, Fan Xin turned his head and asked with a smile: "How about General Gao, these generals are not worse than your Anxi army, are they?"

"Hmph, what's the point of just moving neatly? It's the will and ability that matter on the battlefield!"

Although Gao Xianzhi was a little surprised at Qianniuwei's speed, he did not give in, because in his opinion, speed was only an advantage, and to defeat the enemy on the battlefield, soldiers had to fight hard.

Fan Xin did not expect to convince Gao Xianzhi with just one gathering. Hearing this, he winked at Liu Zi, who pulled out the purple gold hammer, jumped off the platform and led the soldiers to practice fighting.

The roars of three thousand strong men sounded in unison as the Mo Dao struck down. From a distance, they actually had a chilling air.

It was as if we were facing not three thousand people but thousands of troops.

"Impossible, how can three thousand people have such a strong momentum? Even training in the womb is impossible!" Gao Xianzhi said in shock.

Having stayed in the army all year round, Gao Xianzhi naturally knows how difficult it is to cultivate murderous intent. It is generally said that the Tang Army and even the well-trained Anxi Army cannot meet the standards.

How did these people do it?

Fan Xin sighed, with a hint of emotion and pride in his tone.

"Why do you think this king dared to return to Luoyang with only three thousand cattle guards?"

"To be honest, these people are veterans who crawled out of the dead on the battlefield."

"Everyone holds the lives of a dozen Tubo people in their hands, and any one of these people who takes up a position will be a being of sixth grade or above!"

"Do you still dare to underestimate our Youzhou Army now?"

Fan Xin's words lingered in his ears, leaving Gao Xianzhi speechless. No wonder the elite troops deployed by the imperial court on the right side were defeated again and again. The original source was here.

At this thought, the last bit of self-confidence in Gao Xianzhi's heart was gone.

The Anxi Army is known for its will, but it seems to be a lot worse than these tough guys in front of me. I really have no right to look down on the Youzhou Army.

However, what surprised him was that Fan Xin changed his joke slightly.

"Of course, it's easy to get an army but it's hard to find a tiger general. Compared with ordinary sergeants, generals who command troops are worse. I wonder if General Gao is willing to serve as the chief instructor of the Youzhou Army?"

Gao Xianzhi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your appreciation. The general is already disillusioned with officialdom and just wants to return to the countryside..."

"Is it possible that General Gao is afraid that he will not be able to suppress those arrogant and powerful generals?"

"What a joke! Gao is not good at being an official, but when it comes to running an army, there are few people who can match me!" Gao Xianzhi's temper suddenly rose when he heard that Fan Xin looked down on him.

Only when he noticed a smile on Fan Xin's lips did he realize that he had been fooled.

"Okay, you don't have to blame yourself. It's not an insult to you to serve under this king. Go get acquainted with your brothers."

"I will retire at the end!"

Looking at Gao Xianzhi leaving, Fan Xin breathed a long sigh of relief. It was really a headache to deal with such a stubborn person.

Just as he was about to turn around and go back, Li Lang quickly walked up to him and whispered.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince of the East Palace has something to ask for. He is currently waiting for you in the hall."

"Oh, the prince is here? This is a rare visitor."

Fan Xin chuckled lightly, flicked his sleeves and walked towards the hall. He wanted to see what Li Ying could do with him.

When they came to the hall, there was a man in a cloak standing inside, looking at the tiger picture on the wall with his hands behind his back. When he heard the footsteps, he turned around and smiled and cupped his hands.

"Your Excellency must be King Yan Xin. I finally met him today."

Fan Xin did not deny his identity and frowned.

"I wonder what the purpose of His Highness the Crown Prince's visit is?"

"Prince Yan, we Ming people don't tell secrets. I came to you this time because I want to cooperate with you on a big matter!" Li Ying said confidently while sitting on the chair.
