Chapter 50: The Smoke of Gunfire Rises Again
Ah Jiu was the first to be dissatisfied with this, and refused to fight anything, and said indignantly at the moment, "The commander-in-chief's heart is really biased, but even if he can't trust our Lu Jiajun, there is no need to send him Li Yao to block us in front of us, and we want to listen to him!" I can't do it! ”
Xiao Si'er was also dissatisfied, although he didn't dare to speak outright with Ah Jiu, but he didn't have much to do.
"I'm the same as Ah Jiu, if I have to fight with that Li Yao, I won't fight."
Su Rong didn't speak, and kept silent.
Cheng Eun was silent for a long time, and finally spoke, "What is your identity?" Is it a bandit or a soldier? If it's a bandit, you get me out of here immediately, and if it's a soldier, don't talk so much nonsense! ”
The corners of Cheng En's eyes swept over the two of them, and he paused on Su Rong's face for a second. Sure enough, Ah Jiu and Xiao Si'er didn't dare to say more, but they were still not convinced.
"You know what the mission of a soldier is?" Cheng En Zhen Zhen said, "It's obedience!" Absolute obedience! You have been following me for so long, and you still think you are an unrestrained bandit, it seems that I have taught you in vain on weekdays! ”
Ah Jiu paused, and his tone softened a lot, "We... We're just not convinced, why? Why is he Li Yao? ”
"Just because he is Li Yao!" Cheng En said, "Since you and I became the commander-in-chief and became the first of the best, no matter what the order, we must obey, we are no longer a separate army, and it is commonplace to cooperate with others on the battlefield, if you are not used to it, let me stay at home!" ”
Xiao Si'er was anxious, "Brother Lu, we didn't mean that, we just felt that we were panicking." ”
"What's the loss? What do we have to lose? Now that the order has been issued, we must fully cooperate, assist in the battle, and do our duty is what we should do, do you understand? ”
Xiao Si'er nodded, and Ah Jiu saw it and nodded.
Cheng Enbai glanced at them, "Okay, let's go down first, remember to come to the meeting in the afternoon." ”
Su Rong watched Ah Jiu and Xiao Si'er leave unhappily, and then saw Cheng En punch the desk, fiercely.
To be honest, when she first received this order, Su Rong didn't understand it. Could it be because Lu Chengen failed to win Lucheng within the specified time last time, so he will not be sent as the head coach this time? But in terms of command ability alone, that Li Yao is by no means Lu Chengen's opponent. Su Rong remembered what Mrs. Xu said that day, "It's not our descendant army." ”
Lu Jiajun is indeed not the first lineage, in terms of kinship with Xu Zhengzhong, Lu Jiajun is the farthest, although Li Yao is not the recent, but he is also one of Xu Zhengzhong's henchmen who have focused on cultivating in recent years. In this sense, could there be a deeper purpose to such an arrangement?
But fighting is not child's play, the other party is still Shen Huaixin, who has experienced a hundred battles, and he must not be negligent in employing people.
Su Rong went to find Xu Zhengzhong in private, he was discussing with a high-ranking official at that time, Su Rong had been waiting outside for too long, and he was in a hurry, so he simply pushed the door in, and the first thing that caught his eye was Li Yao's slightly flustered face.
"Nonsense! Rush in without a word of notification, I think you are becoming more and more rude! Xu Zhengzhong was furious and reprimanded Su Rong in front of Li Yao. Su Rong is not a stranger to Li Yao, he had seen her once in the military academy, her delicate face without powder, and her crisp and hearty voice were all imprinted in his mind, and on the first side, he remembered her name, Su Rong.
Su Rong ignored Xu Zhengzhong's reprimand, her face was not red, her ears were not red, she stepped forward and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, it's you who can't finish talking about it, you have something to be busy, I still have something to be busy, I can't afford to wait." ”
Yixi's words said that he was very great, and he also pushed a bunch of responsibilities on Xu Zhengzhong, making Xu Zhengzhong cry or laugh, and finally he was speechless, and he didn't know what to say.
"Commander-in-chief, then I'll go first, and I'll do what you explain immediately."
Li Yao is an understanding person in the end, and he has a lot of eyesight. Xu Zhengzhong nodded with satisfaction, "You go first, if you have any questions, come to me directly." ”
"Yes."
After Li Yao left, Xu Zhengzhong looked at Su Rong, who was full of complaints, angrily, "Say, what's the matter?" ”
Su Rong immediately said, "Why do you want Lu Chengen to cooperate with Li Yao to fight?" What is Li Yao's ability, and what is Lu Chengen's ability? Don't you can't trust Lu Chengen, since you can't trust him, why did you persuade others to join your command in the first place? ”
Su Rong crackled and said, Xu Zhengzhong said that one head and two big.
"Okay, okay, I guessed that your resentment was coming for this."
"You know all about it, and let me say it."
"If you don't say it, I can't do without explanation."
"Then you explain."
Xu Zhengzhong paused, "I really can't trust him." ”
"Why?"
"Woman."
"Women?"
"I advise you to leave him and not be deceived by him. Lu Chengen is indeed a general, but he is also a fool who attaches too much importance to feelings. He recovered the Hui family and defected to me, I understood his life experience, and agreed to form the Lu family army with his Lu family name, that is, I valued him and wanted to entrust him with a heavy responsibility. It was he who didn't cherish it, he stayed in secret in Jingling for a few months, and helped Shen Huaixin get rid of the difficult Song Liancheng, and he ignored my telegram urging him to return to Nanling with the attitude of not being subject to foreign military orders. I don't care about any of this, who called him a rare talent. But in the battle of Lucheng, he could obviously break the city and capture it, but he was reluctant to attack it with all his might, but kept dragging it out, giving Shen Huaixin a chance to breathe, and also took the opportunity to take the Northwest Army. ”
Xu Zhengzhong lit a cigarette, "Although I am not on the battlefield and have not personally commanded the battle, this does not mean that I know nothing about the generals under my command. ”
Xu Zhengzhong sat on the sofa and lifted Erlang's legs, "Shen Huaixin once wanted to take him under his command, but I was the first, and he Lu Chengen was also a person who said the same, so he didn't agree to him." But that doesn't mean he'll always be faithful to me. Do you know his attitude towards Shen Huaixin? He wants me to make peace! Jokes, how could I take the initiative to make peace with Shen Huaixin? Once peace is made, there is no possibility of non-concession in the distribution of command power. On the issue of Shen Huaixin, whether it is out of a sense of heroic pity or that woman, no matter how great his ability Lu Chengen is, it is impossible for him to be reused by me. I will tell you these words today, and I am not afraid that you will reach his ears Lu Chengen, I think, he knows it. ”
Su Rong was shocked, Xu Zhengzhong gave her too much information that she never knew, and Lu Chengen, who she had been in contact with every day, was a different image in the eyes of her relatives. But Xu Zhengzhong said that he would never reuse Lu Chengen, no matter how good he was.
Su Rong was very uncomfortable, like someone had gouged out a corner of her heart.
Li Yao came up to fight Dong'an, but Lu Chengen opposed it at the moment, because Dong'an was an important place in Jingling, and in the last battle, Shen Huaixin must have strengthened the defense, and there were Liaodong guards in the east, which could easily cause a siege, not only could not take Dong'an, but was easy to be eaten by others.
Li Yao didn't believe it, thinking that attacking the city was like shooting an eagle, and it was necessary to hit the throat before it could be killed with one blow, and Dong'an was precisely the throat of Jingling. As soon as Jingling is lost, even if there is Ange assistance from Liaodong, it is enough to worry. But just in case, he decided to send Lu Chengen to garrison Xinliang, Xinliang is the only place for Ange to aid Shen Huaixin, as long as he strictly guards Xinliang and blocks Ange's assistance, he Li Yao will have the confidence to take Jingling City.
Lu Chengen was not accepted by Li Yao after several arguments, so he had no choice but to listen.
Li Yao arrived in Dong'an, fought with Shen Huaixin for half a month, and won the victory. Li Yao, who beat him, was called a happy one, so he simply let go of his courage and went all the way into Dong'an, Lu Chengen sent a telegram to persuade him to accept it when he saw it, but Li Yao thought that Lu Chengen was jealous of him, so he ignored it.
At this moment, Ah Jiu suddenly came to report that unknown footprints had been found at the foot of the mountain, and according to the depth and width of the footprints, it was likely that they were a well-trained unit. When Lu Chengen heard this, he shouted that it was not good. Su Rong was puzzled and asked.
"It must be Ange's troops, they learned that we were stationed here, and they wanted to quietly bypass Xinliang, take advantage of our army's unpreparedness to go to Dong'an, and catch Li Yao in an urn."
Su Rong looked at the topographic map, "However, there are long and narrow mountain roads next to it, which are not suitable for large troops to pass Guò at all, and if they are blocked, they will not be able to resist at all." ”
Lu Chengen smiled, "I have fought with Ange, if it weren't for his weak nature, he would have been famous in this turbulent world full of gunpowder." Everyone knows that I am a good use of strange soldiers, but they don't know that he is Ange. "If my guess is correct, Angadin split a whole large army into several small units and passed through the most difficult mountain road in the middle of the night. If it hadn't rained and left their footprints, we wouldn't have found them. During the day, he personally supervised the battle and diverted the attention of our army. ”
When Su Rong heard this, she was anxious, "Then we have to hurry up and chase it." ”
Cheng En pondered for a long time, "Call Li Yao immediately and ask him to return, otherwise there will be a big disaster." Ah Jiu, you take two battalions to support Li Yao and cooperate with the retreat. Little Si'er, you take a company to the mountain road, block Ange's people in a way, and reduce the damage of our army as much as possible. ”
Under the order, Ah Jiu and Xiao Si'er immediately executed.
Su Rong looked at them, then at Lu Chengen, and pointed at herself, "What about me?" What do I do? ”
Cheng En smiled, "Take the new beam with me." ”
Ange was caught off guard by Chengen, he was far from expecting Lu Chengen to guess his strategy so quickly, although he had already responded to the battle immediately, but because the regiment commander stationed in Xinliang was addicted to alcohol, he delayed the military plane, and the director lost Xinliang. Anger was anxious, and immediately reported to Shen Huaixin, hoping to be punished with military discipline. Shen Huaixin was also furious, and quickly replied to agree. The next day, the head of the new Liang regiment was punished by military law, and he ended up in a different place.
Soon after Chengen took Xinliang, he was preparing to turn around and attack the county with a weak defense, and once the county was won, Lucheng would be in danger.
But who told Li Yao not to give up, Chengen's call didn't work for him at all, the insatiable and heartless Li Yao fell for Shen Huaixin's plan to lure the enemy deeper, although half of Ange's reinforcements were blocked by Chengen in Xinliang and didn't pass, but Li Yao was still beaten down, and there was no one left.
Rao is Li Yao was escorted out of the camp with his life by his personal secretary, but he was still caught by Feng Jian, who had been waiting for a long time.
Shen Huaixin immediately had the best trump card in his hand to deal with Xu Zhengzhong, and just when Xu Zhengzhong learned that Li Yao was defeated and captured, Shen Huaixin's telegram then arrived. Xu Zhengzhong's nose was crooked on the spot, and he slammed the telegram on the table, squeezing out a few words from between his teeth, "Shen Huaixin!" ”
Lu Chengen, who had just taken the county, was ready to attack Lucheng, but at this time he received an order from Xu Zhengzhong to withdraw his troops.
Ah Jiu couldn't help but scold, "He Xu Zhengzhong knows a fart!" Don't listen to him, didn't he say that he would not be subject to military orders abroad? Let's take the city. When we take Lucheng, he Xu Zhengzhong can't blame us. ”
Xiao Si'er echoed, "Yes, Brother Lu, don't hesitate. ”
Su Rong was also very nervous, for the first time, she decided to stand on the same front as Ah Jiu Xiaosi'er.
"Li Yao has been captured, and we have a new mission."
