Chapter 1197: Carrying on the Past and Opening the Future (Eighty-Seven) New Year’s Bell (Part 2)

Li Mingjun was sitting in the wing of Huining County Government Office, feeling a little uneasy. The New Year's Bell Plan was officially launched, and he became the key link between the Han Army and Jinyang. The plan was officially launched, and he secretly came to Huining this time. It was to report some related plans to Xu Yuan, and secondly, he also wanted to ask the Han Dynasty for some food for emergency purposes.

However, after arriving in Huining, Xu Yuan told him that there was a person who wanted to meet him. Seeing Xu Yuan's appearance, Li Mingjun probably guessed who wanted to see him, but he felt excited and uneasy at the same time. , there is probably only one person in the whole world who can make Xu Yuan respect him in words.

Unexpectedly, Han Wang Gao Yuan arrived in Huining in person.

The inner door creaked. Li Mingjun looked up and saw Xu Yuan standing at the door. He waved to him. He immediately stood up and rubbed his hands on his body, his palms full of sweat.

Following Xu Yuan, he stepped into the inner door. When he looked up, he saw a tall man standing in front of him, looking at him with a smile. Although he had never seen Gao Yuan, Li Mingjun immediately still Fang Ke figured out who the man opposite was.

"The guilty minister Li Mingjun has met the king." His knees softened, and Li Mingjun was about to kneel down.

His shoulders tightened, but he was already being held tightly, "General Li's words are serious. Why did the offending minister say, you are our great hero? This time the New Year's bell plan is officially possible because of you." Once activated, once it is successful, whether it is our Han army or the Western Zhao army, or the people, there will be less blood shed and less sacrifices made. This is a great merit. Come, come, come and sit. I heard Xu Yuan said that you are here on business and I must meet you."

Xu Yuan on the side smiled and whispered: "General Li, you are so proud. The king's arrival here is a top-secret matter. No more than ten people in the entire Han Dynasty know about it. It would never be possible until the last moment. Let outsiders know that the king has arrived in Huining in person, but the king said, "How can General Li be an outsider? General Li is our hero. It's okay if I don't come. If I don't see you, it would be very sorry for Li." General."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Mingjun was inexplicably grateful, looking at Gao Yuan like the big brother next door. The previous tension in his heart slowly disappeared, and Gaoyuan Hexi was like a spring breeze blowing by, making him relax from the inside out.

"Sit, sit." Gao Yuan took the lead to sit down, pointed to the two small benches beside him, and said to Xu Yuan and Li Mingjun. Li Mingjun thanked him again and then sat down. It was only then that he raised his head and looked at the whole room.

There were two other people in the room, two women. One is sitting behind the big case, burying his head in a large pile of papers, sometimes reading, sometimes writing quickly. The other is sitting next to the big case, staring at him with a pair of beautiful eyes, holding something in his hand. He hooked a riding crop and shook it in his hand. What was different was that this woman actually put her feet up on the big case, very casually.

"Xin'er. Don't be busy for now. Come and show off your skills to entertain our distinguished guests. Hey, Yanzi. Can you show your appearance? Once Jing'er is no longer in charge of you, you will show your true colors." Gao Yuan turned to look at the two people beside the big table. A woman said with a smile.

"It's coming!" the busy woman responded crisply.

Li Mingjun was startled. He was confused just now when Gao Yuan spoke. He immediately understood the identities of these two women, and immediately stood up again, bowed to the two women and said, "I have met the two ladies."

"Sit down." Gao Yuan stretched out his hand and pulled him to sit down again.

"This time for the New Year's bell plan, both Cao Tianci and Yi Bin went to Jinyang. The National Security Bureau had no one in charge, so they had to recruit their own wives to make up the number. Well, Yanzi, she is basically mine now Personal bodyguard, as soon as I come out now, Jing'er will send her out to follow me. General Li, don't underestimate Yan Zi. Her kung fu is among our Han army, but she is famous. It has nothing to do with her position. She is Really able to fight.”

"General Helan's reputation has long been as well known to the generals as ever." Li Mingjun said with a smile.

"Do I really have such a great reputation?" He Lanyan walked over with a smile, pulled up a small bench, sat next to Li Mingjun, tilted her head and looked at him, as if she was a curious baby.

"Of course, most of the Han cavalry were trained by General Helan. Even if the general is in Zhao, he still knows about it." Li Mingjun said with a smile.

He Lanyan giggled happily and glanced at Gao Yuan very proudly, "This is all in the past. Now, I am no longer needed. I can only serve as a personal guard for some people. Now our big man's third The first female general is Gu Li, have you seen her?"

"I've seen it, I've seen it. I was captured alive by General Gu Li in Xiazigou earlier." Li Mingjun said awkwardly.

"What, when did Gu Li become so powerful? Let's compete with her that day." He Lanyan was greatly surprised.

"It was a coincidence at that time. If it weren't for the cleverness of Gu Li's subordinates, General Li and Commander Gu would have sunk into the glacier now." Xu Yuan explained on the side: "If under a normal environment, Commander Gu You can't resist General Li alone, after all, he is far inferior in strength."

Xu Yuan told the scene at that time, and then He Lanyan understood what was going on at that time, "So it is like this." The thought of competing with Gu Li suddenly faded away, and he saw Ning Xin walking over with a tea set. , immediately stood up and said: "Xin'er, let me help you."

Ning Xin smiled and said: "Forget it, Yanzi, you should just sit back and relax. You are not helping, you are causing trouble. Just sit and wait for tea."

He Lanyan rolled her eyes, "I asked you to teach me but you didn't?"

"Am I not going to teach? When will you sit down and learn from me calmly?" Ning Xin sat down with a smile. Xu Yuan on the side had already brought a small coffee table and placed it in front of Ning Xin.

"Thanks to General Li, today I can drink tea brewed by my wife herself." Xu Yuan said with a smile.

Li Mingjun looked at these people, and a feeling that was completely different from what he knew in his mind kept emerging in his mind. Gao Yuan himself would not say it, but his wives alone were all outstanding figures in the world. , Ning Xin is the daughter of Ning Zecheng. She was not famous before, but after Ning Zecheng's death, she did great things that shocked the world one after another, until she finally became Gao Yuan's third wife, and He Lanyan. He is also a strong general on horseback. The early cavalry of the Han Dynasty were basically easy to train, and that one became famous earlier. In one sentence, "When my hair reaches my waist." Come and marry me. The world-famous lady Ye Jing'er can manage these two women obediently. Her ability is evident. Gao Yuan's casual words earlier seemed to be the only one who said Ye Jing'er. Can control He Lanyan. Not even himself.

What impressed him even more was the harmony, the casualness and peace between Gao Yuan and the two ladies. As a courtier, Xu Yuan seemed to be very used to this kind of situation between them.

Everything in Han seems to be different from what I know.

"Thank you, Madam." Li Mingjun said sincerely as he watched Ning Xin skillfully start making tea.

"You're welcome." Ning Xin smiled and nodded at him, "After reading the intelligence for a day, I am a little tired. This is a way for me to relax. General Li comes from a wealthy family, and he is also a good player in this field. Please enlighten me.”

"Madam, you are too polite. Mr. Li is just a martial artist, and he only knows a little bit about the tea ceremony. It is difficult for him to reach the level of elegance." Li Mingjun said.

"Okay, you two should stop being humble to each other. I'll leave the tea to Xiner. General Li and I will talk about business." Gao Yuan said with a smile.

"I'm listening to the King's teachings," Li Mingjun said. "This plan, the king is here in person. The general is more confident."

"It mainly depends on you. When I appear on the stage, I'm afraid the overall situation has been decided." Gao Yuan smiled and waved his hand, "You have done a good job in the early stage. Especially the exercise plan proposed by General Zhao Xilie, it is even more This is a perfect idea, so that our Han cavalry can enter the predetermined area more unimpeded and prepare for the final attack. "

"Xi Lie's idea is to use the excuse of the exercise to place all important areas in Jinyang under military control. This will conceal our true intention to the greatest extent and move the main force of your army to the designated area. To be honest, it is necessary to Our army really does not have the strength to deal with the Qin army. "

"The Zhao army is actually not bad, and your city guards have good combat effectiveness. It's a pity that your field army, General Zhao Mu and Zhao, worked hard for many years, but because of one Jing Rufeng, they were all destroyed in Changping. In this battle, This was the battle that seriously damaged Zhao Guo’s vitality.”

Speaking of this, Li Mingjun also sighed, "Who would have thought that a person who has taken refuge in our country for twenty years would be a dead end for the Qin State, and in order to protect this dead end and gain our trust, the people of the Qin State did not hesitate to spend countless At the cost of the casualties of tens of thousands of soldiers of the Qin army, but they were able to get a deal. In exchange for Wang Xiao's twenty thousand Qin army, the backbone of our Zhao country was interrupted, and it was reduced to a second-rate country, and there was no longer any competition for supremacy. The power of the world.”

"Maybe it's not a bad thing. If they are still alive, this battle for hegemony may last longer. More people will die, more blood will be shed, and more people will suffer." Xu Yuan said on the side.

Li Mingjun lowered his head wordlessly. This was certainly true from a Han perspective, but as a Zhao person, he felt extremely sad anyway.

"General Li, I won't tell you more about the New Year's bell plan. You and Commander Xu cooperate very well. You just need to follow the plan step by step. What I want to say here is that after this battle, for you , I have told you a lot about the arrangements of General Zhao Xilie, Zhao Qi and others, whether it is Commander Xu or God's gift, but I think my personal promise will make you and your officers feel more at ease. Some."

Li Mingjun took a deep breath. Of course, Gao Yuan's personal promise would give him reassurance.

"Zhao Qi and the King Zhao you now respect must of course leave the center of power. You also understand this. There will be a place for them by Dayan Lake. The scenery there is beautiful and there are many people with similar status to them living there. , I believe they will not be lonely anywhere." Gao Yuan said with a smile.

"This is the generosity of the king. There have always been conflicts between the two countries, and the loser can still live the rest of his life in peace and contentment. Looking at the world, only the king has such a big heart." Li Mingjun said sincerely.

"General Zhao Xilie, he will serve as the deputy commander of the Third Military Region. The Third Military Region is not a main battle military region, but it is not a place for retirement. As long as you want to do something, you can also make a career. What's more, our military region The chief officer is not static, and may be transferred to other military regions at any time. I hope General Zhao Xilie can understand this. It is impossible for me to let General Zhao Xilie serve as the military commander of the main battle military region in the first place. Do you think so? ?"

"Mingjun understands."

"As for you, it's different. After General Zhao Xilie goes to the Third Military Region, we need someone who is familiar with the Zhao army to help us reorganize. Among the current Western Zhao army, there are some who are strong in combat power, but there are also some who can make up for it. It is the tradition of our Han army to eliminate the inferior and retain the superior. General Li will stay in the First Military Region as one of the military chiefs of the army. The specific position depends on Commander Xu." Gao Yuan looked at it. Xu Yuan smiled.

Xu Yuan nodded, "That's what I think. There are not many soldiers in the Western Zhao army that maintain combat effectiveness, so I just want to reorganize one army to stay, and General Li will serve as the commander of this army. Of course, General Li, We are a mixed force. Only half of the army you lead will belong to the original Western Zhao army, and the rest will be transferred from other armies."

"Thank you, your Majesty. Thank you, Commander." Li Mingjun was overjoyed. Being able to stay among the front-line combat troops meant that he had gained the other party's trust and that he had greater room for advancement.

This trip was really worth it.

"The tea is ready, let's drink tea!" When I was in a state of excitement, Ning Xin's heavenly voice sounded in my ears again. (To be continued.)
