Chapter 908 Li Zhan: All officers and men listen to the order, the Xixia army invades the border, fo

Tan Ma didn't look at the others, held his fists in front of Li Zhan, performed a military salute, and shouted loudly.

"Reporting to the Prime Minister, there are hundreds of Xixia cavalrymen running towards our border villages and towns. They probably want to attack Qiugu. Please give the Prime Minister a decision!"

Although Xixia suffered serious losses last time, every autumn and winter, there will still be a small number of rangers coming to the border to hunt for autumn valleys and take advantage. In this case, most of the army will send a battalion of cavalry, with three to four hundred people. In response, after all, the strength of Xixia and Northern Song Dynasty has changed. Xixia does not dare to send large-scale cavalry to attack Qiugu. When these rangers encounter the Song army, they generally will not be willing to fight and will be driven away. .

The northwest generals originally thought that there was important military information, and looked at the Tanma soldiers with expectations. Who knew that it was such a trivial matter, which made people very disappointed. They shook their heads at Tanma and sighed.

Tan Ma was confused by the generals, thinking that he didn't seem to have done anything wrong. Why were all the generals showing such strange expressions? He was confused, and he reached out to scratch his head in frustration.

Zhang Ying was furious when she saw Tan Ma's stupidity and ordered directly.

"I know, get up! General Liu, you led a battalion of cavalry to drive away the Xixia Rangers!"

General Liu is the deputy general Liu Weijun who competed with Li Zhan on the ring. During the battle, he was promoted to a full rank and became a general. He commanded two battalions of soldiers, which can be regarded as commanding a thousand people.

Liu Weijun bowed out of the line, nodded unluckily in response to the order, and turned around to mobilize his troops to drive away this small group of Xixia cavalry.

Li Zhan glanced at General Duan whose mouth was covered by Shen Congxing, showed a contemptuous smile, and said to Shen Congxing.

"Uncle Shen Guo, please let go of General Xiao Duan. What he said is reasonable. As the prime minister of the imperial court, I naturally cannot disobey the king's orders and start a war without permission!"

Shen Congxing instinctively felt bad, but when he saw that all the soldiers in the battalion were looking at him and General Xiao Duan, he had to remove his hand from General Xiao Duan's mouth and stood aside with a solemn expression.

Seeing that Li Zhan seemed to have given in, General Xiao Duan completely forgot about the official rules of distinction between superiority and inferiority, and the distinction between the noble and the powerful. He looked at Li Zhan arrogantly and sneered with contempt.

"Sure enough, the Prime Minister is still aware of the general situation and knows the importance. In this case, why not hurry up and obey the order and hand over the military talisman!"

Li Zhan looked at the ignorant General Duan and smiled coldly in his heart. He didn't show anything on his face. He just looked at the Yuzhou generals expressionlessly. The cold light in his eyes made Shen Congxing, Gu Tingye and others' scalps tingle and goosebumps stand up. When he got up, the alarm bell rang loudly in his heart, his expression changed drastically, and he quickly stood in front of General Xiao Duan, preventing General Xiao Duan from continuing to stimulate Li Zhan.

All the soldiers in the northwest camp looked at General Xiao Duan with murderous eyes. Their swords were unsheathed, and the sound of golden bells resounded throughout the audience.

The British public servants widened their eyes and looked at the scene in front of them. They cursed General Xiao Duan crazily in their hearts, but they still did not dare to act rashly. In this scene, as long as the slightest disturbance would cause the camp to be bombed, they would definitely die without burial. The land just turned its attention to Li Zhan for help.

Li Zhan raised his hand slightly, a smile finally appeared on his face, he looked at the Yuzhou generals calmly and said softly.

"What are you doing? Why don't you put away your sword? Do you want to rebel?"

Zhang Ying glanced at Li Zhan's expression, and then took the lead to sheath the sword on his waist. All the soldiers followed him in unison, as if they were one person. The British public and others were all shocked. This is a strong army and should not be taken lightly. disgrace.

General Xiao Duan was also startled just now, and his face turned pale. He finally understood his situation and lowered his head, not daring to face the gazes and murderous intent of hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

Li Zhan took out half of the command talisman from his arms. It was a military talisman, divided into two parts. As the privy envoy and the highest military officer in the country, Li Zhan naturally controlled one half, and the other half was in the hands of the officials.

Li Zhan glanced at the military talisman, half-smiling but not smiling. He took a deep look at General Duan, who was already timid, and said to Shen Congxing on the side.

"It stands to reason that the government has an order to withdraw the army. If there is no fighting at the border, I should naturally obey the order and hand over the military talisman to the British Duke!"

Shen Congxing and Mr. Yingang's expressions instantly changed. They knew that Li Zhan's words must have a subsequent twist. They looked at each other, their eyes full of solemnity, and a bitter smile appeared on their faces.

Seeing that the British Duke, Shen Congxing and others had realized what he meant, Li Zhan stopped looking at the Yuzhou generals, turned directly to look at the soldiers in the camp, and shouted with authority.

"Bang the drum!"

The sergeant next to the Chinese army's tent immediately waved the drumstick in his hand and banged the cowhide military drum. All the soldiers lined up in succession, moving quickly and in unison. However, for a moment, the army lined up in an orderly manner, as regular as a square, which made people feel uncomfortable. Shock.

Zhang Ying took the lead and stood at the front of the queue, bowed and saluted Li Zhan, glanced disdainfully at the shocked Yuzhou generals, and said loudly.

"Please tell me, Prime Minister, all the officers and soldiers have arrived. Please give me the order!"

Li Zhan took two steps forward. All the soldiers stared at Li Zhan closely. There was undisguised enthusiasm and admiration in their eyes. They looked excited, but their bodies did not move at all. They stood silently. There was no noise in the entire camp. , you can hear a pin drop.

A clear sound of "zheng" sounded. Li Zhan took out the sword from his waist and raised it high to the sky. His face was solemn and majestic, and he said sternly.

"Commanders and soldiers, listen to the order, the Xixia army invades the border, follow me to raise troops to destroy Xia!"

"Here!"

"Here!"

"Here!"

The generals asked for orders to raise troops to conquer Xia, but what Li Zhan said was to raise troops to destroy Xia. Although the word was different, the meaning was completely different, which made all the soldiers' hearts surge and their blood surge uncontrollably.

The soldiers responded like a tide, resounding throughout the sky, forming a huge echo, constantly echoing in the ears of the Yuzhou generals. Their faces became extremely ugly, and they were even faintly afraid.

Zhang Ying and other generals looked excited and their bodies trembled slightly. They had finally waited for this day. It was finally the day of the decisive battle with Xixia. The bloody feud for decades had finally come to an end.

General Xiao Duan looked at Li Zhan in disbelief at this time. He did not expect that what he said would really anger Li Zhan. He dared to disobey the holy order and turn a deaf ear to the official's will. He was not afraid that he would be cheating. Are the children in the capital being executed by His Majesty?

Li Zhan nodded with satisfaction, then turned to look at General Xiao Duan and said very seriously.

"General Xiao Duan, you are right. If there is no war between the two countries, I will naturally have no choice but to act as ordered. Now that the Xixia army invades the border, as the commander, I have to disobey the order. I can only fight with the Xixia army first, and then attack The official apologizes!"
