"You…"
Looking at Wang Jian, Yi Xiaochuan was momentarily stumped until he did not know what to say.
Because this time, it was his brother Meng Tian's turn to lead the troops to protect the logistics of the army.
Therefore, Meng Tian did not participate.
He, a person who was not even considered a general, how could he have the qualifications to challenge Wang Jian?
"Alright, I'll go!"
Yi Xiaochuan's face flashed with anger as he left the meeting hall.
"Young General, wait for me!"
Vice General Pang, who was sitting at the side, hurriedly followed Yi Xiaochuan out.
Seeing this scene, the old general Wang Jian snorted coldly and said,"
"The Meng Army is too unruly.
Did they really think that just because it was called the Meng's Army, this army belonged to Meng Tian?
They are His Majesty's army.
But now, you're getting more and more impudent!"
At this moment, Li Xiao, who was sitting on the seat of honor, opened his mouth and said with a smile,
"Old General, I'm really sorry.
I didn't control my subordinates and made a fool of myself here.
Next, we will talk about the matter of Yanmen Pass.
Leave the rest for now!"
Wang Li said disdainfully,
"Lord Marquis was magnanimous and didn't bother with that Yi Xiaochuan.
Did he really think that everyone was afraid of Meng Tian?
The Meng family's army was indeed powerful, but Great Qin's Meng family's army was not the only one that was powerful!”
"A brat who doesn't know anything actually dares to be so arrogant in front of Lord Marquis.”
Wang Jian could not help nodding and said,"
"Meng Tian is also muddle-headed. He actually let his younger brother, who hasn't even received the military rank, participate in such a big event.
What was he trying to do?
These years, he was getting more and more out of control!
He heard that the Marquis had just arrived at Yanmen Pass and had temporarily taken over Meng Tian's military power.
Lord Marquis did nothing wrong!"
Hearing Wang Li and Wang Jian echoing each other, Li Xiao's face revealed a hint of doubt instead.
Perhaps they were flattering him.
However, it seemed that both Wang Li and Wang Jian were dissatisfied with Meng Tian.
"I don't think I've heard of any conflict between the Wang family and Meng Tian.”
Li Xiao dispelled the thoughts in his heart and cupped his hands to the three generals of the Wang Clan.
"I wonder how many troops the three generals have brought to support Yanmen Pass?”
"We have gathered 160,000 soldiers from all over the world.”
"160,000?" Li Xiao frowned slightly.
Old general Wang Jian explained,
"This time, the barbarians outside the frontier have caused a huge ruckus.
It wasn't just the Xiongnu who wanted to attack.
A few days ago, the Donghu people of the Great Wall's Long Nan area under Yanmen Pass also made a move.
Moreover, they needed an army to suppress the place.
It was already not easy to send 160,000 troops to the Mobei region this time.”
Although 160,000 soldiers were not a lot, they were definitely not a small number.
However, according to Li You's report, the Xiongnu army had been increasing in numbers. It was obvious that the Xiongnu were determined to attack Great Qin.
Moreover, there were less than 40,000 soldiers left in Yanmen Pass.
In other words, the total number of soldiers was less than 200,000.
After thinking about this, Li Xiao directly said to Wang Jian,"
"Thank you, Generals, for your hard work in bringing 160,000 troops to support Yanmen Pass.
However, the Xiongnu had clearly planned this for a long time.
Their forces were still increasing.
Thus, I have decided not to attack the Xiongnu army for now. I will fight them later.”
"Furthermore, I already have a plan to destroy the enemy.
However, I still need a few more days. I hope that you can support me.
Stay at Yanmen Pass and don't act rashly.”
"This old master has already seen Lord Marquis's strength.
This time, the three of us have come to listen to your orders.
Whatever Lord Marquis says, we will do!"
"Alright, thank you for your trust!”
The old general Wang Jian laughed loudly and said,"
"Lord Marquis is too polite. I just don't know what Lord Marquis 'plan is to eliminate the enemy?
Can you tell me?
It's also good for my grandfather and grandson to advise me!”
In the past, Wang Jian and the others might have felt disdain for Li Xiao. After all, he was just a Defender Marquis who played politics in the court.
But now, they didn't dare to underestimate him.
This was because Li Xiao had used his own strength to prove the Marquis 'prestige in the army.
It wasn't blown out by his mouth.
Instead, he used his methods and strength to fight.
Li Xiao pretended to be mysterious and said,"
"You'll know in a few days.
I can't say it either!"
"Alright, we'll wait for Lord Marquis's orders!”
Li Xiao chatted for a while more before getting someone to arrange Wang Jian and the others 'accommodation.
Wang Jian's three generations had different reactions.
What gave Li Xiao a slight headache was the old general Wang Jian's explosive temper. His temper was really very explosive.
However, not long after Wang Jian and the other two left.
The Black Armored Imperial Army General Li Xin had actually brought Wang Li back.
Li Xiao's face revealed a puzzled expression as he said,"
"Why are you guys back?"
Hearing Li Xiao's question, Li Xin, who was walking in front, revealed a mischievous smile:
"Lord Marquis, did we make Yi Xiaochuan lose face in the meeting hall today?
Great General Wang Jian was famous for having a bad temper.
Now, he had his eyes on Yi Xiaochuan.
In the future, Yi Xiaochuan would probably suffer greatly in front of General Wang Jian.”
"Lord Marquis, you have to praise me!
In order to embarrass Yi Xiaochuan, I promised to treat Wang Li to a month's worth of drinks.
Lord Marquis, you are a wealthy family, while I am extremely poor!
You have to reimburse me for the wine!”
As soon as he said this, Li Xiao couldn't help but widen his eyes and look at Li Xin, who was constantly sneakily laughing.
He shook his head and smiled bitterly.
He really didn't expect Li Xin to be so vengeful and even find trouble with Yi Xiaochuan.
Clearly, they were the ones who had taken the initiative to cause trouble for Yi Xiaochuan, intentionally letting Yi Xiaochuan anger Wang Jian.
Li Xiao laughed and scolded,"
"Are you avenging me? Why do I feel like you're venting your anger for yourself?”
"Hehe, same, same!"
On the side, Wang Li revealed a rather loyal smile and said,
"Lord Marquis, this is just a small matter!
I heard from Big Brother Li that Yi Xiaochuan was a toad lusting after swan meat.
He actually dared to think about the Marquis 'wife.
Moreover, he speaks ill of Lord Marquis every day.
This kind of person is simply shameless."
"Back then, I almost died at the hands of the Xiongnu Condor Shooters.
He is someone I admire.
Since Yi Xiaochuan dared to provoke you, I will definitely teach him a lesson.”
"Thank you, thank you!"
Li Xiao did not expect Wang Li to be such a loyal person. This was quite rare in the military, and he had a sense of recklessness.
It was no wonder that he would hang out with Li Xin.
After all, he had accepted their kindness. Although Li Xiao did not want to do anything to Yi Xiaochuan now, he still had to thank them for provoking Yi Xiaochuan.
After all, this was also giving him, Li Xiao, face.
"Lord Marquis, there's no need to be so polite. Wang Li is my sworn brother!
He wanted him to teach Yi Xiaochuan a lesson.
It was an easy task, not to mention that Yi Xiaochuan had such a foul mouth that he dared to scold Lord Marquis!”
"Then I thank General Li!"
Li Xin laughed proudly,"
"Hahaha, Lord Marquis is too polite. No need to thank me, no need to thank me. I will do my best!”
Li Xiao had a strange expression on his face.
......
At the same time, Wang Jian and Lieutenant General Wang Ben had returned to their residence.
Wang Ben, who had been acting like a mute in the meeting hall, suddenly asked Wang Jian,
"Father, I heard that Yi Xiaochuan is Great General Meng Tian's long-lost younger brother.
Such humiliation to him.
Would he have provoked Great General Meng for no reason?”
Wang Jian had a bad temper and could not tolerate Yi Xiaochuan's playfulness. He said without a care,"
"That kid is asking for a beating.
What sort of person was the Marquis? He actually dared to insult the Marquis behind his back?
Right now, Lord Marquis's authority in the Imperial Court is monstrous.
It was said that it was related to Li Si.
If we get close to him appropriately, it will only be good for our Wang family. There will be no harm!”
Wang Ben nodded and said,"
"Father is wise!"
"Oh right, where's Wang Li?"
"When he left just now, Li Xin of the Black Armored Imperial Army invited him for a drink.
He probably won't be back for a while!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Jian's eyes widened as he said,"
"What Great General of the Black Armored Imperial Army? That Li Xin is also a bad boy.
How can I let my grandson be in cahoots with him?
She must not be led astray by him.
Hurry up and bring people to find him and bring him back.”
"Uh, I understand!"
Wang Ben's face was filled with helplessness.
However, their son and grandson were extremely afraid of Wang Jian.
He really couldn't beat this old fellow!
They were also very helpless.
"Lord Marquis, we've arrived!"
An hour later, Tian Sha drove Li Xiao's carriage back to the residence where they were temporarily staying.
Li Xiao got off the carriage and went straight into the manor.
Tian Sha casually commanded a few Network assassins to send the carriage back to the backyard.
"The few of you, send the carriage to the backyard!”
When Li Xiao returned to the inner court.
Yu Shu was already waiting there. When she saw Li Xiao, she was pleasantly surprised.
"Lord Marquis, you've finally returned!"
Li Xiao's face revealed a puzzled expression."
"Why are you standing here waiting for me?”
"Lord Marquis, when you left today, didn't you say that you would look for Yu Shu at night?
Therefore, Yu Shu personally prepared a table full of food and wine.
They are all Tu 'an's specialties.
Tu An used it to entertain male VIPs!"
Yu Shu's face was slightly red.
