There are too many idiots in the world who only know how to flatter the emperor and invite others to show off, but they don’t care how difficult it is.

Bian Lingcheng may not be stupid. He has been in Anxi for many years and his military literacy will not be too bad in this regard. At least he has a certain common sense. It is stupid to do it even though he knows it is impossible. But Bian Lingcheng still insists on sending troops.

The eunuch is a slave of the Tian family. His obedience and slavery to the Tian family have penetrated into the bones. Bian Lingcheng does not need to know how difficult it is to recover Luoyang. He only knows that if the Anxi army sends troops, whether it is annihilated or defeated, at least the Anxi army will do it according to the emperor's will. It doesn't matter if the matter is not done, but if the matter is not done, the nature will change, which is called resistance to the order and beheaded.

The atmosphere in the hall was unprecedentedly cold.

The generals under Gu Qing were influenced by the commander and were mostly pragmatic. They knew that they could not do something, so they should not do it. Whether they apologize to the emperor or beg him, they would not be able to destroy the 50,000 soldiers of the Anxi Army outside Luoyang City just because they accepted the emperor's life.

But Bian Lingcheng's position is different from everyone. He is a military supervisor and is only responsible for supervising the army and ensuring the loyalty of the army to the emperor. At this moment, everyone opposes the emperor's imperial edict. This is a manifestation of disloyalty. Bian Lingcheng must stop it.

"Mr. Gu, what do you say?" Bian Lingcheng looked at Gu Qing and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Since he was trapped by Gu Qing once in Anxi because of the Huangfu Sisi case, Bian Lingcheng has been obedient in the Anxi army these days and dared not provoke Gu Qing.

Today I finally showed a sense of presence.

At this time, Bian Lingcheng's identity was the military supervisor representing the emperor and the imperial court. When the generals of the Anxi Army were hesitant of the imperial edict, no one could take the military supervisor seriously.

Gu Qing's face was a little cold, and he said slowly: "I have already discussed with the generals. I will first submit a memorial to Chang'an and conduct a detailed investigation on the evils of Luoyang. I will ask the emperor to take it back."

Bian Lingcheng shook his head: "Mr. Gu, this is inappropriate. I have been in the army for many years and know the principle of "soldiers are the most important thing to be fast". The Marquis submitted a memorial to Chang'an, and Your Majesty replied to the decree again. It took many days to go, and the fighter plane was fleeting. If you miss the fighter plane and delay the major rebellion, no one can afford this charge."

Gu Qing smiled and said, "What does Bian Zhengjun mean?"

"Since you have received the imperial edict, no matter what your doubts are, the Anxi army should immediately set off the camp and head to Luoyang. On the way to march, the marquis can submit a memorial to Chang'an. Before you get the order from Your Majesty, how to attack Luoyang or fight. This is the action that the ministers should do."

Before Gu Qing made a statement, Li Siye snorted coldly: "Well, when the Anxi Army is wiped out, the border supervisor is transferred back to Chang'an and continue to be an individual official. Anyway, it will not delay your future. We will die if the vulgar army is dead, which is no pity."

Bian Lingcheng was furious: "Li Siye, you are just a small Mo Dao General in the Anxi Army. You dare to contradict the army supervisor. Don't force me to impeach you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Qing suddenly said coldly: "Bian Lingcheng, dare to shout at my generals, don't force me to slap you."

The generals in the hall roared and stood up at the same time, accompanied by a sound of armor leaves colliding. Everyone stared at Bian Lingcheng with Hanshuang. Some generals had their right hands pressed on the hilt of the knife on their waist.

The small front hall instantly filled with murderous aura and was about to break out. Bian Lingcheng was surrounded by a group of burly generals, like a rabbit who accidentally entered the cage of beasts.

Bian Lingcheng's face changed drastically, and he was so scared that he took a few steps back, and stuttered: "You, wait... dare to kill the military supervisor? Do you want to die?"

Gu Qing's body did not move, and he spit out a word from his mouth lightly: "Sit."

The generals sat down with another bang, and the murderous aura that was about to explode in the hall instantly dissipated without a trace.

Bian Lingcheng's face was pale, his expression was still scared, and he looked at Gu Qing in panic.

Gu Qing pulled the corner of his mouth and said leisurely: "Bians Supervisors and Anxi Army are all vulgar martial artists. They are very impulsive and draw their swords whenever they disagree. Bians Supervisors are so weak that they must be cautious in what they say and do in the army in the future."

The generals present shouted in unison: "That's right!"

Just as I suddenly heard the roar of a beast, Bian Lingcheng was frightened and trembled all over again. He wanted to say a few words of scenes to save some face. However, seeing that the generals were still eyeing him, Bian Lingcheng did not dare to say any tough words anymore and sat down obediently.

Duan Wuji, who was standing behind Gu Qing, kept watching this scene quietly. In the short scene just now, he already knew Gu Qing's prestige in the Anxi Army. Thinking of Gu Qing's ambition, Duan Wuji was so excited that his legs trembled and his throat kept wriggling.

Bian Lingcheng, who sat down again, tried hard to control his trembling body and gritted his teeth and said, "Marty Gu, is Anxi Army still loyal to His Majesty in this way?"

Gu Qing smiled: "Of course we are loyal to Your Majesty. We are the royal army of the court and have been quelling the rebellion under the orders."

Bian Lingcheng stared at him with a fierce look and said, "Since he is still loyal to the emperor, why are he so disrespectful to the army commanders sent by the emperor? Do you want to support your own troops?"

Gu Qing said lightly: "Don't just mention the emperor in everything. If the border military supervisor has the heart to cherish the lives of the soldiers, we will not be so unhappy. Our Anxi Army suppresses the rebellion and war for the country for His Majesty. Although we have died without any resentment, we will die in a valuable way. Sending death for nothing is not loyal to the emperor, but at best, it is just foolish loyalty."

"An Lushan has caused chaos in the world, the court is struggling and exhausted to deal with it, and half of the country has fallen. If the Anxi army is sent into a desperate situation, the rebels will be in great power and the rebellion will be difficult to quell. This is the greatest disloyalty to the emperor."

He looked at Bian Lingcheng with a smile, and Gu Qing whispered: "Judge Bian kept urging Anxi Army to go to Luoyang to die. I want to ask you, are you... still loyal to Your Majesty?"

Bian Lingcheng opened his eyes wide and looked at Gu Qing with horror.

Very eloquent! He was actually bitten by this guy!

"I, I... I am, of course I am loyal to Your Majesty! Mr. Gu, don't betray me." Bian Lingcheng said in horror.

This hat is too heavy, Bian Lingcheng is just a eunuch, and he can't afford to wear it.

"The imperial edict ordered you to send troops. If Marquis Gu resisted the edict, how should I say to the marquis? "Bian Lingcheng fought back.

Gu Qing said lightly: "You can say whatever you want. You are the military supervisor. Even if you say that my Anxi Army is ruthless, we can't do anything. But the generals and I will follow what we just discussed, first submit a memorial to state the pros and cons, and then stay in Qingzhou to wait for the will of Chang'an."

"What if Your Majesty still insists on sending troops? How should the marquis deal with it?" Bian Lingcheng sneered.

Gu Qing smiled: "There will always be a solution. The border military supervisor doesn't have to worry about us. Just reflect on yourself. If it is really the day when you have to attack Luoyang City, a cold arrow on the city wall may kill the border military supervisor. The border military supervisor should take care of it."

As if he seemed caring, Bian Lingcheng felt his hair standing on his back and cold sweat fell down.

Is this...a hidden murderous intent towards me?

After saying that, Gu Qing ignored Bian Lingcheng's reaction, stood up and stretched his waist long, sighed, "I've been sitting for a long time, so I'll go pee."

After saying that, Gu Qing raised his legs and walked out.

The generals laughed and stood up with Gu Qing, saying behind him: "The last general will also urinate, and I am willing to scatter with the marquis."

Li Siye walked at the end and suddenly smiled viciously at Bian Lingcheng, "Will the Bian Supervisor piss together?"

Bian Lingcheng's face turned green with anger, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Get out!"

…………

Gu Qing chose to resist the order, but the way of resisting the order was not tough, but rather mild. After receiving the order to regain Luoyang, Gu Qing immediately submitted a memorial and sent a quick horse to Chang'an.

With 50,000 fresh lives, Gu Qing could not watch them be killed by a foolish imperial edict.

Chang'an City, Xingqing Palace.

Li Longji sat in the darkness, half of his face was shrouded in a dark cloud, his eyes were cold and his face was as cold as frost.

He held a memorial in his hand, which was written by Gu Qing.

The tone of the memorial was very gentle. First, I analyzed the pros and cons for Li Longji and stated that the disadvantages of the Anxi Army's attack on Luoyang might lead to the danger of the annihilation of the entire army. The Luoyang city walls were solid and it was difficult to capture only 50,000 Anxi Army. The biggest result may be that the Anxi Army disappeared from the world from then on, and the imperial court lacked an elite army to suppress the rebellion, and the Luoyang City was still in the hands of the rebels.

Then Gu Qing asked Li Longji to take back his life in a controversial tone, and detailed his strategic concept to Li Longji. Relying on the terrain of the Guanzhong Plain, he maximized the role of the Anxi cavalry, used the plain terrain to lure the rebels out of the city to fight, slowly weakened the rebels' vitality, and finally fought a decisive battle outside the plains, and An Lushan's rebellion could be determined.

Gu Qing's memorial was reasonable and well-founded, and he deeply analyzed the situation and the pros and cons of the army on both sides. However, after reading it, Li Longji still felt dissatisfied.

No matter how gentle and gentle the tone of the memorial is, it cannot change the fact that Gu Qing resists the order and refuses to obey the order.

It is not what the minister should do to resist the order, and Gu Qing is openly despising the imperial power.

Gao Lishi stood beside Li Longji and looked at his face carefully. He followed Li Longji for many years. Gao Lishi knew that Li Longji was very angry at this moment, but he was angry but did not show any expression. This is the most dangerous thing.

"Your Majesty, Gu Qing..."

Li Longji said coldly: "The decree I issued will not allow anyone to resist the order. Even if I die, I must follow the order."

Gao Lishi shook and lowered his head and said, "Yes."

After bent his fingers and knocked on the memorial, Li Longji's eyes were gloomy and he sneered: "Do you really think that after two victories, the Tang Dynasty will not be able to live without you? Do you dare to bargain with me."

"Your Majesty, Gu Qing means..."

"I don't care what he means, but he must do my will."

Gao Lishi said carefully: "Your Majesty calms down, maybe... Gu Qing did not intend to resist the order, but instead advises and explains the truth in detail."

Li Longji suddenly said angrily: "Who does he think he is! What qualifications do he have to tell me?"

Gao Lishi was so scared that he fell to his knees and said in panic: "I have a broken sentence, Your Majesty forgive me."

Li Longji still said angrily: "The Anxi Army belongs to the court, not to him. If he fears the enemy and resists the imperial edict, I will replace him! My famous generals from the Tang Dynasty have emerged, is he a general to fight?"

Gao Lishi knelt on the ground and lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, please think twice. It is a big taboo to change generals in the battle."

Li Longji said viciously: "What is a taboo? It is a taboo if you don't obey the order! It is a taboo if you don't have the imperial power!"

Gao Lishi urged to whisper: "Yes, but Your Majesty, the Anxi Army had only made a roar a while ago. If the generals were replaced when suppressing the rebellion, it would probably severely undermine the morale of the Anxi Army. If it becomes an abolished army, it will be detrimental to the major events of suppressing the rebellion. The pros and cons, with Your Majesty's heroic power, you will be able to think carefully."

Li Longji was stunned and his angry expression gradually relaxed.

"Does the soldiers of the Anxi Army only recognize Gu Qing as the head coach?" Li Longji murmured to himself with a deep look.

Gorix sighed silently.

He knew that Li Longji's words were not asked about him, but that he was suspicious of Gu Qing again.

It is indeed a taboo if an army only recognizes the commander and does not recognize the court.

Gao Lishi tentatively said: "Your Majesty, put aside Gu Qing's resistance to the order, does your Majesty agree with the disadvantages of Gu Qing's memorial to attack Luoyang?"

Li Longji was silent.

Gu Qing's memorial was very detailed and fairly said that it was indeed inappropriate to recover Luoyang. The reason why Li Longji was angry was not because of right and wrong, but because of Gu Qing's resistance to the order, which made him feel that the imperial power was provoked.

Gao Lishi said again: "Your Majesty is in the deep palace and Gu Qing is on the battlefield. What Gu Qing saw may be more realistic about the situation of suppressing the rebellion. If he said that he could not attack Luoyang, it would be reasonable. Why not summon the court officials to discuss it and see if the Dukes meant to fight or not."

Li Longji glanced at him and suddenly laughed and scolded: "How much benefit has Gu Qing given you? You old dog always talk to him."

Gao Lishi felt a stern and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty must know that the old slave is rich and never despises the bribes of court officials. The old slave is just thinking about His Majesty's country. At the critical moment of the Tang Dynasty, we cannot doubt the king and minister."

Li Longji smiled faintly, pondered for a while, and said, "I asked the servant to draw an order and severely scold Gu Qing for resisting the order, telling him that the Anxi army must go to Luoyang, otherwise it will be severely punished."

Gao Lishi was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that Li Longji insisted on the Anxi army to attack Luoyang.

Then Li Longji added: "The Anxi Army can wait for an opportunity to move and look for a fighter opportunity. If Luoyang is indeed difficult to capture, it can be withdrawn."

Gao Lishi quickly understood what Li Longji meant.
