Chapter 1597: Knowing the Great Righteousness
More importantly, in the case of gradual defeat, Gong Yileng did not try to control the situation, but transferred the three strong warriors away from the front line to sneak attack another innocent Jianghu force.
This move directly caused a shortage of major generals on the front line, so that the ice explosion bandit group took advantage of the situation, and the anti-bandit operation was declared a failure.
"If it were you, what would you do?" said the old king, who remained silent, and continued to ask.
What Gong Yibo said was not to slander Gong Yileng, which made the old king feel a little relieved.
For Gong Yibo, Gong Yileng is his competitor, and effectively attacking the other party is to fight for a chance for himself.
However, whether it is Gong Yileng or Gong Yibo, they are the sons of the old king, and the palms and backs of their hands are full of meat, and everyone who hurts them is distressed.
After the failure of many things, many reasons for failure can be found, some are man-made, and some are coincidental, and it seems to be extremely easy to summarize.
In particular, Gong Yileng did not personally lead the troops to the front line, and was criticized by many people, and some people accused Gong Yileng of being greedy for life and afraid of death, and did not dare to face the fierce fighting on the battlefield.
However, the old king knew that there were two reasons why Gong Yi Leng did not go to the front line, the first was that he underestimated the difficulties, thinking that the Ice Burst bandit group was vulnerable, and it didn't matter if he went or not.
Secondly, Gong Yileng is more selfish, and wants to take advantage of the opportunity of Gong Yibo to go to Ping'an Town to control the epidemic and cultivate the next generation as much as possible, so as to meet the requirements put forward by the old king and be invincible in the competition.
But there is one point, the old king resolutely does not believe the greed for life and fear of death accused by some ministers.
Gong Yileng has been belligerent since he was a child, and his temperament is violent, even if he encounters an opponent whose strength exceeds his own, he will never admit defeat in a fight.
The matter of suppressing bandits was originally proposed by Gong Yibo, and Gong Yileng inserted a rod, in fact, he was sure that he could eradicate the Ice Burst bandit group.
Forcing Gong Yibo to a situation of lack of medical treatment, Gong Yileng had even celebrated his victory in advance.
Even when the news of the failure of the bandit suppression came, Gong Yileng was not reconciled, and asked the old king more than once to give him another chance.
If the old king agreed, I am afraid that the palace at this moment will be cold, and he will already go into battle in person and fight to the death with the ice burst bandit group.
To the relief of the old king, Gong Yibo did not mention greed for life and fear of death, and the overall evaluation was relatively pertinent.
did not fall into the ground, relied on his own merit in controlling the epidemic, and stepped on Gong Yileng under his feet, and Gong Yibo's performance can be called a gentleman's doing.
"First of all, I will take the lead, in addition to the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, unite the righteous people of the rivers and lakes to jointly fight against the ice explosion bandit group, and do not give the other party a chance......"
Gong Yibo believes that as a commander, he cannot be brave, but he must be at the forefront in person, grasp the various trends of the battle situation, and make the most appropriate response strategy according to the actual situation in a timely manner.
The Ice Burst Bandit Group is a force in the rivers and lakes, and it stands to reason that it should be handled by the rules of the rivers and lakes, and the imperial court does not have to interfere.
However, the Ice Explosion Bandit Group has been rampant and domineering for many years, not only infringing on the interests of other Jianghu forces, but also causing great harm to innocent people.
There are hundreds of people who died tragically at the hands of the Ice Explosion Bandit Group, and there are also many Jianghu forces that are not strong enough to be swallowed up or even eradicated by the Ice Explosion Bandit Group.
Even the imperial court sent officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress it many times, but they did not achieve the expected victory, which further fueled the arrogance of the Ice Burst bandit group.
Without the assistance of the righteous warriors of the rivers and lakes, it would still be difficult for the officers and soldiers of the imperial court to severely damage the Ice Explosion Bandit Regiment.
The reason is very simple, the Ice Burst Bandit Regiment has many subsidiary forces, and once the war starts, except for the members of the Ice Burst Bandit Troupe, the officers and soldiers of the imperial court are not clear at all, and which other forces are their enemies.
If you are not careful, you will fall into the trap of the enemy and cause unnecessary losses.
The righteous warriors of the rivers and lakes are familiar with the distribution of the forces in the rivers and lakes, and can clearly distinguish the forces that are related to the Ice Burst Bandits, so as to clearly distinguish between friend and foe.
In addition, most of the righteous people in the rivers and lakes have experienced disputes in the rivers and lakes, and they make predictions in advance about the possible means used by the Ice Explosion Bandit Group, so as to provide a basis for decision-making for the commander.
"It makes sense, the imperial court has made a stand, so that most of the Jianghu forces have a bottom in their hearts, and it will be much smoother to unite. ”
The old king nodded, and instead said, "However, how to deal with the sneak attack of the killers of the Ice Burst Bandit Group, you have not come up with specific measures. ”
The Xuanbing Kingdom is located in the north, and the people are fierce, and they are brave enough to fight, but they are not dexterous enough.
For many years, he has not been at war with his neighbors, and he lacks experience in big wars, and there has not been a handsome talent like General Yan of the Tianluo Kingdom.
This is also one of the reasons why the Xuanbing Kingdom has suppressed bandits many times, but it has not been able to eradicate the Ice Explosion Bandit Group.
In general, Gong Yibo does have the qualities of a commander, and his analysis of the situation is also very incisive.
However, whether Gong Yibo is just talking on paper or really has the talent of a general, you have to observe it from the details.
"Specific measures, it's not too difficult to say, commanding to go to the battlefield in person, it is bound to become the main target of the opponent's killer, as long as you deal with it properly, you can use the killer's sneak attack......"
If it is Gong Yibo who leads the army, it will create a momentum with great fanfare, which will make the Ice Burst bandit group feel great pressure.
Capture the thief and capture the king first, and the Ice Burst Bandit Regiment will definitely send powerful killers to attack the headquarters of the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, in order to kill the commander and break the military heart of the officers and soldiers.
According to Gong Yibo's statement, he laid out in advance, lured the opponent's killer in, annihilated it in one fell swoop, and dampened the spirit of the Ice Explosion Bandit Group.
According to the previous experience, the opponent's killers are basically the basic cultivation of the War King powerhouse, and they almost represent the strongest strength of the Ice Burst Bandit Group.
Once the killer is killed, the opponent's strength is greatly weakened, and if you take this opportunity to launch a large-scale attack, the chance of victory will be greatly increased.
"That's a solution...... What do you think of letting Er'er lead the army, with you as your deputy?" the old king asked tentatively.
After refusing several times, Gong Yileng still insisted on asking for battle, and the old king wanted to hear Gong Yibo's opinion.
"From a personal point of view, I don't approve of the second brother leading the army, but for the sake of the country, I am willing to assist the second brother. ”
Faced with the sensitive questions raised by the old king, Gong Yibo calmly expressed his thoughts.
As a competitor, Gong Yibo had no reason to give up his opportunity to Gong Yileng again.
Moreover, Gong Yileng was defeated not long ago, and his prestige was lost, and if he reluctantly led the army, his morale would inevitably be hit, and it would be difficult to win.
However, as a member of the royal family of the Xuanbing Kingdom, Gong Yibo must put aside his personal gains and losses, obey His Majesty's arrangement, and contribute his strength to victory.
"Well, it's rare that you understand righteousness...... If you lead the army, how many men do you need, and which general?"
"10,000 horses, Lao Li and I can do it. ”
"Er'er is also 10,000 horses, and the result is a fiasco, so you are not afraid of repeating the mistakes of the past?"
The old king continued to ask questions, expecting a reply from the palace.
"As far as I know, the headquarters of the Ice Burst Bandit Regiment has no more than 10,000 troops, and the rest are scattered everywhere, as long as the joint Jianghu righteous people make proper arrangements, it should not be a problem to stop them from rushing to help.
As for the 10,000 officers and soldiers, I think it's not about the many, it's about the ......."
Among the officers and soldiers of the Xuanbing Kingdom, 10,000 soldiers who can fight well are selected in Gong Yibo's opinion.
"There are dozens of generals in the Xuanbing Kingdom, Lao Li is a deputy general, why did you choose him?"
As soon as the elite soldiers said, the old king felt reasonable, after all, fighting a war does not depend entirely on the quantity of troops, but on the other hand, quality is more important.
However, although Lord Li has the cultivation of the level of a war king, he is not the most capable general in the Xuanbing Kingdom, and Gong Yibo's choice surprised the old king.
"I have never participated in a major war, and I have only heard about the talents of the generals, but I have never cooperated and exchanged.
And Lao Li and I have been friends for many years and are familiar with each other, as the so-called generals are united and invincible!"
There has been a life-and-death friendship between Gong Yibo and Lord Li, which has long gone beyond the general concept of 'master and servant', and even better than brotherhood.
If you change to another general, you may be stronger, but it is difficult to achieve a tacit understanding with each other.
In any battle, even a wise man who is strategizing must constantly adjust his response strategy according to the situation on the battlefield, rather than blindly adapting to all changes with the same.
As a coach, he bears the victory or defeat of the entire team, and must have a trustworthy and tacit general to cooperate.
Only by following orders and prohibiting and strictly abiding by discipline can we achieve the greatest victory.
"San'er, with your personality and way of acting, you won't have such an opinion, can you tell your father, who gave you the idea?"
Well said, the old king coldly changed the subject.
Gong Yibo has a benevolent heart, and has never advocated convincing people by force, even in the competition with Gong Yileng, he is often passive.
If it weren't for the fact that the task of controlling the epidemic was so well accomplished, the old king would not even talk to him about the problem of suppressing bandits.
When he handed over the task of suppressing bandits to Gong Yileng, the old king gave him a chance because Gong Yileng was warlike since he was a child, and he was not afraid of strong opponents, and his methods were very spicy.
On the contrary, when Gong Yibo accepted the task of controlling the epidemic, the old king was not very sure of success.
One of the reasons for making the decision was to make Gong Yibo understand that one of his illnesses had almost harmed tens of thousands of victims.
After the palace was attacked by the Styx Aquarry, hundreds of healers disappeared, much to the old king's chagrin.
If the epidemic is not well controlled, the crime of causing the loss of doctors will arise, and even if the old king does not punish him, the battle for the prince of Gong Yibo will inevitably end in failure.
Unexpectedly, Gong Yibo not only successfully completed the task, but also promoted the birth of the Healer's Guild proposed by Xing Lao.
Hundreds of doctors who were thought to have been dead for a long time also appeared alive in people's sight.
In this way, the healer test initiated by Gong Yibo seems to have been deliberately prepared for the outbreak of the plague in Ping'an Town, and the crime of losing the healer will naturally not be established.
