Chapter 783: Luck is also part of strength
"Very well, I can see your fighting spirit in your eyes!"
Zhao Yun made a straight face and said seriously: "However, if you want to be recognized, you can't do it by shouting two slogans, you still need to see your next performance." If you want to be the strongest army, you will need to put in unimaginable effort. The enemy we are facing today is not very strong, and it is precisely this opportunity for us to exercise, so that we can strengthen ourselves and face an even stronger enemy in the future. Don't say anything else, if you want this commander to see your ability, you will fight in Yangqu City. ”
"Yes, we will live up to the high expectations of the commander!"
Lu Teng and the others responded with a high spirit, trotting away from Zhao Yun's camp, preparing to arrange the next siege of Yangqu City. Hearing the change of the army's number from Zhao Yun's mouth, they are all full of fighting spirit, and the unique number proves the strength of their troops, which is naturally extremely attractive.
After cleaning up, the large army set off again and headed for Yangqu City. The distance of more than ten miles, less than an hour, the army came to the city. Today's patrol and vigilance is the 3rd Brigade of the 1st Division, because of the lessons of the 1st Brigade yesterday, coupled with Zhao Yun's words, the brigade commander of the 3rd Brigade, Yu Chang, can be said to be full of fighting spirit, and the scout team was sent out to comprehensively clean up the spies sent by Yangqucheng, so as not to encounter an ambush again. Along the way, he captured a lot of Yangqu City scouts, and found out a lot about Yangqu City from these scouts.
"Commander Qiyu, according to the mouth of the enemy scouts, the person in charge of Yangqu City is now named Han Ke, and he is the son of the big family in Jinyang City. This Han had the name of filial piety in his early years, and some of them were famous, and yesterday's ambush was all from the hands of this Han Ke. After yesterday's casualties, Yangqu City now has more than 6,000 troops in the city. ”
After reporting the news from the enemy's spies, Yu Chang asked for orders: "Commander, my third brigade is willing to be the vanguard and guarantee that Yangqu City will be taken within an hour, and I also ask the commander to give my third brigade a chance." ”
"Brigadier Yu Chang, you're not kind!"
Before Zhao Yun could speak, Lu Teng spoke out dissatisfied, and said: "This vanguard matter is all the responsibility of my first brigade, and now you ask the commander for your life, don't you think that my first brigade is unsuccessful." ”
"Hey!"
Yu Chang sneered, when it came to the opportunity for his subordinates to perform, he would not be polite, and mocked: "The commander values your first brigade, so he entrusts the responsibility of the vanguard to your first brigade to be responsible." However, yesterday, because your brigade was paralyzed and careless, it was attacked by the enemy, and hundreds of brothers were lost, and now the brothers of my third brigade are willing to share this errand for your brigade. ”
"You..."
Lu Teng's face was red, but he was powerless to refute Yu Chang's words, after all, it was indeed the dereliction of duty of their brigade yesterday that they fell into the enemy's ambush, and they couldn't blame others for their own mistakes. However, Lu Teng naturally would not easily give up the position of vanguard, and responded loudly: "My first brigade did make mistakes, but last night, my first brigade also annihilated 3,000 enemy troops, which is enough to prove the strength of my first brigade. ”
"Hmph, who wouldn't say big words, since your first brigade needs half an hour, my third brigade only needs a quarter of an hour. ”
"Ridiculous..."
"Lu Teng, Yu Chang, how can you be so presumptuous in front of the commander, don't stop quickly. ”
Huang Sheng, the commander of the First Division, saw that the two were arguing, and hurriedly stood up to stop drinking. The more you say, the more exaggerated it is, Yangqu City is also an important city in Taiyuan County, and there are 6,000 soldiers and horses in the city. Of course, if you don't count human lives to fill it in, then say something else. It's just that Zhao Yun has more than 30,000 troops in his hands, and one Yangqu City will lose so many troops, and the next Jinyang City, and even Huguan will not have to fight, just go back to the house.
Lu Teng and Yu Chang were awakened by Huang Sheng's shouting, and hurriedly bowed down and pleaded guilty: "Commander, I have no case, and I ask the commander to forgive me." ”
"Okay, they're all their own brothers, don't hurt the harmony because of this. ”
Zhao Yun waved his hand, but he didn't care very much. However, it is a bit difficult to let the vanguard attack Yangqu City, originally it has always been carried out by the soldiers and horses of the First Brigade of the First Division, however, there was a mistake yesterday, if there is no convincing reason, naturally the men and horses of the First Brigade cannot continue to serve as the vanguard.
"Commander, my subordinates have something to say!"
Just when Zhao Yun hesitated, another powerful middle-aged man stood up, but it was Sun Ming, the commander of the second division, a very literary name, if you didn't see him in person, I am afraid that this guy would think that this guy is a literati, but after seeing the real person, I will deeply understand what it is better to meet than to be famous.
"I wonder what Master Sun Ming thinks?"
With Zhao Yun's permission, Sun Ming said angrily: "Commander, whether it is the first division, the second division, or the third division, we are all soldiers under the commander's command, and we can't let the people of the first division go to any war, is it possible that the soldiers of our second or third division are worse than their first division? In the past, the vanguard duties were all performed by the soldiers of the first division, and now it is the turn of our second division, commander, is this the truth?" ”
Zhao Yun had a headache, the problem of the first division had not been solved, and the second division jumped out again, looking at Guo Jia on the side, only to see that the old god was drinking tea, as if he had no reaction to the things in front of him. The commanders of the second division have jumped out, and those who want to come to the third division will not lag behind.
Sure enough, immediately after Sun Ming, the commander of the Third Division, Ge Lun, jumped out and shouted loudly: "Commander, what Commander Sun Ming said is right, we are all your subordinates, this time in the siege of Yangqu City, we have to change people for everything, and we can't let the people of the First Division occupy everything good." ”
"That's right, the people of our second division are no weaker than the people of the first division, and let the people of our second division definitely do better than those of the first division. ”
"Our third division is not convinced, and I implore the commander to give us a chance!"
Several brigade commanders of the second and third divisions also shouted, because Zhao Yun and Guo Jia had already made arrangements, and they couldn't say anything. However, now that the people of the First Division are fighting among themselves, they will naturally not waste this opportunity, and they will take the opportunity to fight for it, and maybe they will be able to snatch the responsibility of this vanguard, and it will be cool and crooked.
Two bastard stuff!
Huang Sheng scolded angrily in his heart, glared at Lu Teng and Yu Chang fiercely, if it weren't for the two of them arguing, how could they give the people of the second and third divisions a chance to take the opportunity to coax, and when they went back, they couldn't say that they would clean up these two guys. However, the immediate crisis must be solved first, he took a step forward and said in a loud voice: "Commander, the duties of the vanguard performed by the soldiers and horses of my first division have been set before the departure of the army, and the military order has been issued, how can it be changed at will, I am afraid that it will shake the morale of the soldiers and soldiers, and please think twice." ”
"Humph!"
Sun Ming snorted coldly and said mockingly: "If the people of your first division did not make mistakes, it would not be bad to say that the temporary replacement of the vanguard would shake the morale of the soldiers; ”
"What Division Commander Sun Ming said is right, Division Commander Huang Sheng, I think that for the sake of the safety of the officers and men of the whole army, it is better for you to ask the commander to resign, so as not to embarrass the commander, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds. ”
Huang Sheng almost couldn't help squirting out a mouthful of old blood when he heard this, and the two guys just grabbed the mistakes of their first division yesterday, maybe it was really possible for the two of them to succeed. This is naturally unbearable, and we must resist.
"You two fart..."
"Enough!"
Before Huang Sheng finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhao Yun sharply, only to hear Zhao Yun say angrily: "Do you think that this is a vegetable market, and you can bargain? As a division commander, you quarrel like a shrew scolding the street, and you have forgotten your identity, right? If anyone quarrels again, they will all pull down and beat a hundred rods first to see if you still have the strength to quarrel." ”
Zhao Yun rarely gets angry on weekdays, but at this moment, Huang Sheng and the three of them suddenly felt a strong momentum rushing towards them, and they were suddenly silent, and they didn't dare to quarrel anymore.
Seeing that the three of them were quiet, Zhao Yun regained his momentum and said calmly: "Originally, the first division took the position of vanguard, but it was arranged a long time ago, and once the military order was issued, it naturally could not be easily changed. ”
Hearing Zhao Yun's words, Huang Sheng suddenly laughed proudly, while Sun Ming and Ge Lun wilted, since Zhao Yun said so, they naturally couldn't refute it. It's just that without waiting for Huang Sheng's smiling face to bloom, Zhao Yun's next words made his smile freeze on his face.
"However, the first division did not perform well, and if there is no reasonable explanation, it really cannot reassure all the soldiers. Therefore, the demands of Division Commander Sun Ming and Division Commander Ge Lun are also reasonable, and the commander is also reasonable. As for what to do, Political Commissar Guo has already made a plan, so you will listen to what Political Commissar Guo has to say. ”
There is no reason to be in front alone, but Guo Jia is comfortable drinking tea, so Zhao Yun simply threw the problem to Guo Jia.
"A little thing is so quarrelsome, with your temperament, how can you reassure the chairman?"
Guo Jia put down the teacup and accused him dissatisfiedly, blaming these guys for having a lot of things, so he let Zhao Yun throw the pot at him, which affected his mood of drinking tea, is it not enough to accuse him with two sentences? Of course, in the face of Guo Jia's accusation, Huang Sheng of course did not dare to have an opinion, so he could only pinch his nose and admit it.
"Forget it, you are still young and have not experienced much, so I won't talk about you much this time, remember to use your brains more in the future. ”
After listening to Guo Jia's words, everyone was a little speechless, and they all looked at each other for a while.
Among the high-level people present, except for a few people, most of them are older than Guo Jia, so it is said that Huang Sheng and the three of them can be regarded as Guo Jia's father's generation. At this moment, I heard Guo Jia say that they are still young, and it makes people feel weird. However, whoever made Guo Jia a big man is naturally unable to refute it.
Guo Jia ignored everyone's strange expressions and continued to say calmly: "Before leaving, the first division was designated to take the responsibility of the vanguard, and everyone was able to obey the military order, which is commendable. The reason why everyone is vying for the position of vanguard now is also because of the poor performance of the first division, which is understandable. Therefore, the commander and I will give everyone a chance to compete fairly, and if anyone wins, he will be the next pioneer, and no one else will have any opinions, what do you think?"
"Political Commissar Guo has an order, how dare we disobey!"
Since it was Guo Jia who said it, everyone naturally would not refute it. As the chief strategist under Yuan Chang in Youzhou, naturally no one will doubt Guo Jia's talent.
"Well, that's good!"
Guo Jia nodded with satisfaction, and then continued: "Marching from our direction, the eastern, western, and northern gates of Yangqu City in addition to the south gate can be attacked, just right, your three divisions are responsible for a city gate, this time who will capture the city gate first and occupy the city guard, and then this division will take the vanguard position, so that the vanguard position is completely obtained by strength, I don't think anyone will have an opinion, right?"
"Political Commissar Guo's plan is very good, we should follow it!"
"That's right, what Political Commissar Guo said will not be a problem, and my third division has no opinion!"
A good pioneer position was used to compete, and Huang Sheng naturally felt a little aggrieved in his heart. However, it was indeed the fault of their first division, and it was also their own people who caused the quarrel, and they could not blame others for this situation at this moment, they could only say that they had done their own wrongs.
"The first division obeys the arrangement!"
"Well, that's good!"
Guo Jia praised lazily, and then said: "The north gate is the closest to our current position, and the position of the east and west gates is some distance, whoever attacks the north gate will naturally have an advantage, so the commander and I will not designate, and then draw lots to decide who is responsible for attacking the north gate and who will attack the east and west gates." As the old saying goes: luck is also part of strength, so don't say anything if you're unlucky. Next, let's start drawing lots!"
Guo Jia stretched out his palm, and the three paper balls in his palm were lying there quietly, looking at the situation, it was obvious that Guo Jia had already prepared. Everyone was amazed in their hearts, worthy of being the chief strategist of Youzhou, everyone was still arguing, and Guo Jia had already thought of a solution.
Huang Sheng, Sun Ming and Ge Lun stepped forward to snatch a paper ball from Guo Jia's hand, and the expressions on their faces were a little apprehensive, not knowing what their luck was.
