Chapter 137: Ling Xiao
Chapter 137
"Ignore him for the time being, Master, what do you think General Zhou should do now?" Duanmu Cong waved his hand and threw the matter of the Demon Palace out of the clouds.
"Let's wait and see what happens. Now is not the time. ”
"That border dragon city ......," Duanmu Cong hesitated.
"You're talking about Ling Xiao?"
"Ling Xiao, I have seen this person, although he is young, but unfathomable, just look at General Zhou's departure, the border city is chaotic, and it has been invaded repeatedly, until his appearance, no one in the army is dissatisfied. Moreover, in the past few years, the forces of the DPRK and China have fought fiercely, but he is firmly sitting in Diaoyutai, the lord of Longcheng, the commander of the 600,000 border army, his position is stable, he has never wavered, and he is deeply trusted by the King of Qi, which is a treatment that even General Zhou Yu has not had! Duanmu Cong said with a solemn expression.
"Can't you see the reason why he can sit safely in the position of the commander of the border army?" Li Changding glanced at Duanmu Cong and smiled faintly.
"Of course I know, it's not because of his shallow foundation that the powerful people in the court, including the King of Qi, trust him so much. Because he can't make any big waves. General Zhou Yu is different. He followed the king of Qi before he made his career, and he also presided over the party, with outstanding achievements, won the hearts of the people, and his prestige in the army, so the king of Qi was so taboo about him, he had to belittle, and after the derogation, he sent killers. It's just endless! Thanks to Zhou Yu, he used to be his minister and made great contributions to him! When Hong Anyi was mentioned, Duanmu Cong was disdainful and very disdainful.
"The cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooking. The emperors of the ancients were like this. Li Changding recalled the history of the earth, except for a few emperors, the rest were not exempt from vulgarity.
"The cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooking, so forget it, but now the rabbits are still running around? Why do lackeys cook? Duanmu Cong was a little suspicious of King Qi's IQ.
"That's because, if you don't cook this lackey at this time, he won't be able to cook anymore. Hong Anyi, the king of Qi, is congenitally limited, and that's all he has to say. Li Changding explained with a smile.
The so-called instrument is not only open-minded, but also the ability pattern, a person with a large amount of equipment, no matter how many talents are used, because his ability is more outstanding than these people, he can control the situation.
Qi King Hong Anyi's weapons are insufficient, not only because he is not open-minded enough, but also because he lacks ability to control a character like Zhou Yu.
"Master, isn't there a virtuous person living in this world? Why did he Hong Anyi die to occupy this position, if it were to be replaced by me, he would have abdicated a long time ago to give way to Xian, and Zen to Zhou Yu. Duanmu Cong shook his hand with dissatisfaction.
"The reason is simple." Li Changding smiled playfully and gave the answer: "Because, the King of Qi is not you." ”
"Well, too." Duanmu Cong was ridiculed by Li Changding, and returned to the topic: "Teacher, what do you say there will be any movement over there?" ”
"What can happen? Just like us, stay still. "Other people's actions may depend on intelligence speculation, Ling Xiao's side, Li Changding can directly give the answer, because Ling Xiao is Lin Xiao!
Lin Xiao traveled away from home when he was more than ten years old, wandered the world, and came to the border of Qi a few years ago. At that time, the border generals were incompetent, fought against foreign races, suffered many setbacks, and finally defended Longcheng, sitting back and watching the surrounding people be slaughtered, without sending a single soldier.
Lin Xiao was chivalrous and saw all kinds of tragedies on the border, so he gathered the affected people and formed a righteous army, and fought several fierce battles with the enemy on the border, all of which won a big victory, recovered several pieces of lost land, and became famous.
Although he won on the battlefield one after another, Lin Xiao knew that several big victories were lucky, the enemy army was powerful, like a tiger and a wolf, although he was defeated again and again, but it did not damage its roots, our army was weak, and as long as it was defeated, it was like a landslide, irretrievable.
Moreover, the enemy will regain his strength and make a comeback at any time, and the situation that Lin Xiao was facing at that time was as dangerous as an egg!
After all, Lin Xiao's army is a group of peasants who have just joined the army, they don't understand the military formation, the force is weak, and there is a shortage of ordnance. Lin Xiao thought about it, only by relying on Northern Qi could he get out of the crisis.
So, Lin Xiao assumed the pseudonym Ling Xiao and volunteered his allegiance to the King of Qi, surrendered his territory, and attached himself to the Qi State. At that time, the struggle between the Qi dynasty and the Chinese government was fierce, and the border was restless, and the king of Qi was having a headache for this, and Ling Xiao's coming to vote just solved his urgent need.
The men and horses in Ling Xiao's hands can not only increase the power in the hands of King Qi, quell the chaos, but also guard the border passes and sweep away the border troubles, the only thing that worries Hong Anyi is that he doesn't know if Ling Xiao is really willing to work.
In order to calm the worries in King Qi's chest and gain his trust, Ling Xiao came to the capital of Qi alone, alone with a sword, to give advice to King Qi, and even took action in person, eliminating many worries for him, and as a result, several of his henchmen were troubled.
Ling Xiao only stayed in the capital of Qi for half a year, but he set off a lot of storms in Qi and became famous, and at the same time won the trust of Hong Anyi, the king of Qi, and regarded him as a confidant.
Half a year later, the border trouble broke out again, Ling Xiao took the initiative to ask Ying to go to guard the border pass, King Qi was actually not very willing, and wanted to keep him by his side, but he was persuaded by Prime Minister Wang Shi and others, and said: "Can level the side of the patient, except for General Sheling, there is no one else!" ”
In desperation, King Qi made Ling Xiao the lord of Dragon City and the commander of the 600,000 border army.
Lingxiao is a young man, and he is a sensation in the world!
After being sealed, Ling Xiao went out of the city overnight, quickly whipped up, and traveled under the stars and nights to rush to Longcheng to take charge of the border army. As for the original coach, he has been unfavorable for many years and has long been removed from his post and investigated.
The composition of the 600,000 border army is complex, most of them are Zhou Yu's old subordinates, and there are many Qi kings' subordinates, and they are mixed with some other forces in the court.
In this regard, Ling Xiao took office for the first time, summoned all the generals, all the military exercises, selected the talents, dismissed the mediocre talents, and changed the generals in battle!
Changing generals in battle is certainly a taboo in the army, but Ling Xiao's move is different.
At the beginning, the 600,000 border troops were all commanded by Zhou Yu, the commander of the army, most of them were promoted by him, and they were all favored by him, and later he was dismissed from the position of commander by the king of Qi and appointed as the county commander of Taigu County, and those generals in the army were also implicated.
After Zhou Yu left, the border army was not good, and it was defeated repeatedly, in addition to the incompetence of the coach, the lack of generals in the army was also a major reason.
Ling Xiao played martial arts and selected talents, and most of the selected ones were Zhou Yu's old departments, and the so-called temporary change of generals was actually just an excuse to reinstate their officials.
Of course, in order to avoid the suspicion of King Qi, Ling Xiao was only promoted to a middle-level officer in Zhou Yu's old department, and the largest official was only to lead 5,000 men, and there was a deputy general next to him to control him.
At the same time, Ling Xiao rewarded King Qi's subordinates, and those who were able to increase their officials and become knights were the main generals of one party, and those who were incapable rose and descended brightly and secretly to reward them with money, in order to appease the King of Qi who was far away in the capital.
As for the generals of other forces in the DPRK and China, those who are incapable or incapable will be demoted and dismissed, used to install their own men, or transferred to Zhou Yu's old department.
Of course, all this can be done so smoothly, the power of King Qi is on the one hand, Ling Xiao's own grandmaster-level martial arts is on the other, he led the militia in several major battles on the border, killed the enemy generals, and became famous, and the convincing of the people is a more important factor.
In this way, in just one month, the Dragon City Border Army will have a new look and a shining spirit! After that, he fought with the invading enemy in the wilderness, won the battle, annihilated more than 10,000 enemies, captured tens of thousands, and won the battle in one battle, and moved the world.
When the news reached the palace of the national capital, King Qi laughed happily and slapped the table to praise Ling Xiao! Just when he was about to reward Ling Xiao and recruit him back to the court, Prime Minister Wang Shi came out again to admonish, saying: "The border has just been peaceful, and it is really necessary to vigorously rectify it, and General Ling is even more indispensable at this time. ”
Because of the obstruction of Wang Shi and others, the King of Qi failed to recall Ling Xiao several times, and Ling Xiao was also happy to protect the people in the bitter cold land on the border, away from the wind and rain of the court.
