When Wuxian spoke, his meaning was obvious. It was true that Li Fen was influential in Shandong, but when it came to leading everyone to win the battle, Li Fen would definitely take the back seat.

After all, Zhongyi Town and Wuwei Town, both of which are sitting here, had defeated Li Fen.

Li Fen's mouth twitched when he heard this. During the Battle of Huainan, he was defeated by the Song army and suffered heavy losses.

At that time, Wuxian and Zhao Tai were allies of the Song army and participated in the battle, so Li Fen could be said to be the defeated general of Wuxian and Zhao Tai.

Both of them had beaten Li Fen, but Li Fen wanted to be their boss, so they were naturally hard to convince.

Wu Xian said this, obviously not supporting Li Fen as the leader of the alliance, but this was within Li Fen's expectation.

Today he is mainly testing, to see the attitudes of all parties, and then he can prescribe the right medicine.

Li Fen smiled awkwardly, "There is some truth in what Duke Wu said. After all, the enemy is at hand!"

Wu Xiandao: "When it comes to fighting against Mongolia and leading everyone to win the war, I say Marshal Zhao will do his part. Is that okay with you? I think we should recommend my brother Zhao Tai as the commander-in-chief of the Three Qi!"

"That's right! When it comes to fighting the Mongols, only my general can lead everyone to defeat the Mongols!" Zhao Tai's general Liu Dun said: "I think everyone should take my general as the leader!"

As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted the support of the generals of Wuwei and Zhongyi towns.

Li Fen had a dark face. He knew that it would be difficult for him to be the leader of the Three Qi, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult.

At this time, seeing more and more voices supporting Zhao Tai, Peng Huizu said again: "I think what you said is inappropriate! The commander-in-chief of the Three Qi Dynasties should consider all aspects, not just military talents. Liu Bang's use of troops

How does it compare with Han Xin? Conquer for the generals

When fighting in all directions, we value military prowess. As a leader, we sit in the rear, appoint talented people, and manage one side. Shandong is our land, and my lord has always had prestige in Shandong, and the people support him, and his rule is peaceful. I thought

The Lord of Shandong shall be the commander-in-chief of my family."

"Yes! This Shandong originally belongs to my commander-in-chief. You are all foreigners. How can you seize the title of our commander-in-chief and seize the foundation of my commander-in-chief?" A group of Li Jun generals stood up and agreed.

For a time, there was a lot of hype in the lobby. The generals of Wuwei and Zhongyi towns did not support Li Fen, but Peng Huizu directly stated that Li Fen must be the master of Shandong.

As soon as the attitudes of both sides were made clear, the generals present were immediately divided into two factions, and they all supported their commander-in-chief to become the master of Shandong.

At this time, seeing the crowd in the hall being noisy, Li Fen's cheeks twitched, and he said in a deep voice for a while: "Quiet down, everyone!"

When everyone in the hall heard this, many generals of Li Army shut up and sat down again. The generals of Wuwei and Zhongyi also sat down with curses.

"Haha~" Li Fen laughed awkwardly, "This time it is mainly to help the two commanders clear their dust. By the way, we will discuss that our three towns will cooperate and have unified command in order to deal with the Mongolian attack. Now everyone has great differences, but

It doesn’t matter, you can give your opinions, but you can’t hurt the harmony.”

After saying that, Li Fen looked at Zhao Tai and asked with a smile: "Brother Guorui, the soldiers in both towns recommended you to be the commander-in-chief. What do you think?"

While everyone was arguing, Zhao Tai kept drinking from his wine glass, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

At this time, after listening to Li Fen's inquiry, Zhao Taicai put down his wine glass and said with a smile: "I accept the kindness of the soldiers from the two towns with great sincerity, but this Shandong is where Marshal Li operates, and I am a guest soldier. I thought that as long as Marshal Li can shoulder the responsibility,

You can serve as the commander-in-chief of the three towns."

When Zhao Tai and Li Fen competed for the mastership of Shandong, their biggest disadvantage was that the Red Coat Army had been running Shandong for many years, and the Li family had been running it for two generations.

As an outsider, it is morally unjustifiable for Zhao Tai to want to be the master of Shandong.

Although Zhao Tai wanted to be the leader of Shandong, he did not directly fight for it and instead recommended Li Fen.

Li Fen was a little surprised after hearing what Zhao Tai said. He originally thought that Zhao Tai would fight for the position of commander-in-chief, but he didn't expect that Zhao Tai would not fight for it.

Now among the three towns, two towns support Zhao Tai. If Zhao Tai wants to fight, Li Fen feels that he will have to compromise in the end.

At this time, Zhao Tai was not contentious, which made Li Fen feel happy, but he pretended to be calm, "Haha~ Although I have been running Shandong for many years and have some prestige in Shandong, my brother Xian and Duke Wu are both backbones in the fight against Mongolia. I sit in this position

, I’m afraid I can’t convince the public!”

When Li Fen saw Zhao Tai's recommendation, he became humble.

Zhao Tai smiled and said: "The Li family has been operating in Shandong for two generations, and the people have surrendered. As long as Marshal Li can take on the important task of resisting Mongolia, I think the leader of Shandong must be Marshal Li."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Tai came out of the procession to bow and pay homage.

"Oh~" Li Fen was ecstatic and screamed repeatedly, "I can't do it, I can't do it."

He waved his hands repeatedly, but had no intention of getting up to stop Zhao Tai from worshiping. His eyes were full of joy, expecting Zhao Tai to bow.

Zhao Tai left his seat, his movements were slow and very solemn, but just when Zhao Tai was about to salute, there was a commotion outside the hall.

Li Fen heard the sound and saw Zhao Tai stopping his movements and turning his head. Everyone in the hall also looked outside and couldn't help but frown, "What's the noise outside?"

A general came in and reported: "Commander Qi, he is a general of Marshal Zhao. He said he has something urgent to see you!"

Li Fen looked at Zhao Tai in confusion, and Zhao Tai said with a straight face: "I don't know, the commander, so why don't we let him in and see what the fuss is about!"

Li Fen exhaled, "Let him in!"

Not long after, Chen Zhong strode into the hall and saluted Zhao Tai, "Commander, something bad has happened. The Prime Minister moved to assassinate Pu'a to break through. Come and ask for help!"

Zhao Tai was shocked when he heard this, "What, the Prime Minister is here?"

Chen Zhongdao: "Report to the Commander-in-Chief, he is outside the hall!"

Hearing this, Zhao Tai looked at Li Fen and said urgently: "Marshal Li, the Privy Councilor is here from Kaifeng. There may be an urgent military situation. Please see me first."

Li Fen frowned, pondered for a moment, and then nodded, "Please come in!"

After a while, Yi La Pu'a entered the hall, and all the generals in the hall looked sideways.

Zhao Tai and Wuxian quickly led their subordinates to stand up and saluted Yi Lapua, "Your Majesty the Privy Council!"

When Yilapua saw Zhao Tai, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Guorui, this is a disaster!"

Zhao Tai asked: "Prime Minister, was Kaifeng captured by the Mongols?"

Yi La Pu'a nodded and waved his hands. Everyone saw this and felt their hearts tremble.

"Marshal Cui Li from the west has defected to Mongolia and opened the city gates. The outer city of Kaifeng has been captured. Now your Majesty is trapped in the imperial city. He ordered me to go out of the city to ask for help." Yili Pu'a stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Tai, "Guorui, Kaifeng is in danger.

, the imperial court is in crisis, and the Kingdom of Jin now relies on you."

When Zhao Tai heard this, he suddenly looked at Li Fen and said urgently: "Commander Li, Kaifeng is in danger and Dajin is in crisis. Now everyone has elected the commander-in-chief as the lord of Shandong. Please send troops immediately to rescue Kaifeng!"

When Li Fen heard this, he stood stunned on the spot and couldn't recover for a while, "This, this, rescue of Kaifeng needs to be considered in the long run!"
