Chapter 198 Who Is The Boss?
Since Li Wanjiang couldn't openly transfer Qin Gang away, he resorted to a tactic of pulling out his salary from the bottom of the pot, and transferred troops from Yanyun Pass several times under the pretext of tense battles elsewhere.
Originally, there were 100,000 soldiers at Yanyun Pass, but he had already drawn half of them in the past year, but he didn't dare to draw any more, because Yanyun Pass would not work if it was too empty.
The direct consequence of Li Wanjiang's actions was that when Yanyun County was invaded, Qin Gang was unable to send troops to rescue...
Sending Xiao Chen here was actually just to make up for his own fault, and it was just a show.
Or in his heart, Yanyun County has been temporarily given up now.
"General Xue, my brother is going to Yanyun. Although his life and death are unknown, if the food and supplies are not enough, he will surely die. In the future, brother's logistics supplies will pass through the treasure land. Please take care of General Xue." This is what Xiao Chen wants to follow. What Xue Jinshan said was serious.
"Your Majesty Xiao, don't worry, my brother will never do that kind of thing. Although we have never met each other, my brother has always admired Master Xiao's literary talent. If Master Xiao thinks highly of him, I would like to be your friend." Xue Jinshan said.
"Hehe, what kind of literary talent? It's all small skills. It's really shameful to talk about it and live up to the name! Those who guard the border and keep the country safe like General Xue are the pillars of talent. Brothers admire you very much. .” Xiao Chen said.
"I still have some food in reserve here, I dare not give it to you if there is too much, but if it is used in an emergency, it can also guarantee your rations for 10,000 people for seven days. At that time, Master Xiao, you only need to send someone to inform you. This is what our brothers are talking about, but it should not be known to outsiders." Xue Jinshan is really interesting.
In fact, generals like them outside can see the overall situation and know the pros and cons.
Everyone knows that the emperor sent Xiao Chen to the northern border because he wanted him to die. If Xiao Chen can dance there for two more days, and even give the Xianbo people a little blow, it will be very beneficial to the situation on the border of.
At least the pressure on Yanyun Pass and Wolong Pass has been greatly relieved.
It is already late autumn, and winter is approaching. The Xianbo people are theoretically unable to launch a large-scale offensive this year until the snow covers the mountains. They have to wait until tomorrow when the spring is warm and the snow melts.
In half a year, the emperor can calmly dispatch troops to enrich the northern border.
After Fengyang King's army was able to rest for half a year, they could move northward and completely recover Yanyun County, and it was just around the corner.
So weighing the pros and cons, Xue Jinshan decided to support Xiao Chen in this battle with all his strength, regardless of the outcome.
As for the emperor?
I will not accept the order of the emperor abroad!
As long as one is wholeheartedly for the community of Great Zhou, even offending the emperor, he will not hesitate...
What's more, Xue Jinshan discovered that the emperor's attitude towards Xiao Chen seems to be quite ambiguous recently, and he even gave Xiao Chen an extra thousand horses, maybe because Xiao Chen saved his life?
Although Xue Jinshan is far away in Wolong, there are naturally many eyeliners in Fengyang City, and the latest information is rushed to him every day from eight hundred miles...
Back in the camp, the brothers met each other, and there was a lot of joy. Xiao Chen told the big guys about Tie Kunlun's origin, and everyone welcomed him. Now we have nothing else to do but only those who can fight.
Tie Kunlun was shocked, because he felt that these people all knew the true identity of the prince! Isn't this the barracks of the Great Zhou, or the barracks of the Dahan?
The content of the secret conversation between Xiao Chen and others made him even more unexpected. I rely on it. Isn’t this trying to rebel everyone?
It's not that the rebellion is so blatant now!
"I brought all the soldiers this time. I didn't have any officers with more than a hundred households, so it's easier to grasp. How to bring them, Xiaosheng, you can figure it out." The reason why Xiao Chen didn't want officers was to fully digest them as soon as possible. This thousand horses.
"Why don't we just mix up with the infantry and fight together?" Ye Baiqing said.
"No, this cavalry is very precious. They must be used wisely, and they cannot be mixed into the infantry. This will arouse their resentment, make them feel that they are not being reused, and even suspect that we don't trust them. , leading to instability in the army." Wei Yuntian was the leader of the troops and knew the stakes.
"Xiaosheng is right. Since we are going to fight side by side, there must be no distinction between who comes first and who arrives first. Many of the low-level officers in these elite cavalry come from the Black Dragon Guard, so let Yun Tianlai take care of them. If there are those who are good at fighting and capable in the backbone, they can be directly promoted in the future." Zhuge Xiaosheng agreed.
"What about the Musketeer Battalion? They can't be mixed with the cavalry, right?" Lin Yue said.
"Leave the Musketeer Battalion to Yue Zhonglin. Zhong Lin also stayed in the Musketeer Team before." Zhuge Xiaosheng had already thought about it.
"Lin Yue's new recruits are mixed with our previous infantry. The veterans bring new recruits, and the combat effectiveness can be improved a lot. Five thousand people are enough to fight against a certain number of cavalry. I think these five thousand people will be handed over to Lin Yue. Commander, the specific personnel arrangements are up to you to decide, no problem?"
During the time Zhuge Xiaosheng had been in contact with Lin Yue, he had already gotten to know him quite well.
This person is definitely an excellent general, and he is worthy of a heavy responsibility.
"Follow the general's order!" Lin Yue knew that this was not a discussion with him, but an order, so he stood up and answered loudly.
"I asked Lu Fei to select some sharpshooters in the army these days, and prepare to form a formal archer unit, but the number is very small at present, only more than 200 people are qualified...Lu Fei, are you too picky? ?" Zhuge Xiaosheng looked at Lu Fei.
"If you go back to the general, it's not that the last general is picky, it's just that he almost can't do the job of an archer! The general wants a good archer, not a reckless one!" Lu Fei got up and replied loudly.
"Okay, that's what I'm saying, how about this, your archers should also be the boss's personal soldiers together with Xiao Ye and Duan Linger, Xiao Ye's is the Xiaoqi Guards, Duan Linger is the Flying Wing Guards, Then you are the Habayashi Guards, haha, three hundred people, the establishment of the three guards, it is quite scary to claim to go out." Zhuge Xiaosheng said with a smile.
"Yeah? General Zhuge, what's your name? We're here to fight, not to scare people!" Duan Ling'er was unhappy when she heard that, why did you make it sound like we were all just pretending? ?
"Ling'er, you are wrong. One of the high levels of warfare is not to scare people. This is called bluffing in the art of war, so that the enemy can't understand our true strength at all, which means that soldiers are not tired of deceit." Zhuge Xiaosheng told her seriously Explanation.
This is a military meeting, not small talk.
"Really? Then we will definitely scare them out of their nerves, Tie Kunlun, don't you think so?" Duan Linger then returned to anger, and patted Tie Kunlun who was stunned.
Hmm, Tie Kunlun just agreed casually, he was still immersed in shock.
Who is this Zhuge Xiaosheng?
At such a young age, you don't even have a hair on your mouth, but you are giving orders as a general, and you are doing things on your own, so why don't you ask our prince for instructions?
No, who is the boss here?
