"Your Majesty, this is just the minister's speculation, and the Caohai army may not come to Zhuozhou by boat. It is too deep into the hinterland, and it is not easy to supply food and grass, because it is a lone army, and if you are not careful, there will be a danger of annihilation. ”

"That being said, I have to guard against it." Emperor Bandung was sad.

Li Luo glanced around at the ministers in the hall, and said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, my lords, Xuanlou has a discussion. ”

Emperor Wanlong's eyes lit up, and he shouted: "Xuanlou say it quickly!" ”

"The general will lead the army north along Yinzhou, Qinzhou, contain the enemy army of Caohai entrenched in Bantian Mansion, echo with the Dingbei army in Jianbei City, and be sure to trap the Caohai army in Yeliangzhou; Second, another general was sent to lead the army from Zhizhou into Beifu, and went north along the Zhijiang River, guarding against the enemy army of Caohai going south along the river, and the Dingbei army of Youzhou was united, so as to prevent the Caohai soldiers from crossing the Zhijiang River and attacking other states in Beifu; Third, the Kunjiang Navy Fleet was ordered to guard Zhezhen, in addition to guarding against the southward movement of the Caohai army, grain and grass should be transported north by water. Although the Caohai tribes used the method of naval division combat this time, the soldiers worked wonderfully, but it is a fact that the Caohai tribes are not good at water warfare, and the initial use of the superiority of the troops and the Dagan defenders were caught off guard, and they were still able to make contributions in a battle, if they still stay on the surface of the Zhejiang River, the Caohai coalition army will be defeated. If the Dagan soldiers can blockade the Zhijiang River, the Caohai tribes have no other choice but to go south along Yeliangzhou, so this time the army leading the army from Zhizhou to the north is not trivial, and it must be cautious. ”

Most of the generals who can fight well in the DPRK are under the tent of the Dingbei Army and the Shepherd Wolf, and there is no lack of brave and good fighting talents in the rest, but the pearl is covered with dust, and it is not easy to ask for a leading general who can reassure Emperor Wanlong and his ministers at this moment. Di Jie is one, but he is too old, and it is okay to guard the rear, and he has long been unable to charge into battle.

Li Luo did not say anything, but looking at the present, except for Li Luo, who led the first army from Qinzhou and Yinzhou to the north to relieve the siege, he was afraid that he would not be able to find anyone else. Although the rest of the leaders of the army with heavy responsibilities and the ministers had their own thoughts, no one dared to play with the safety of Dagan's Jiangshan Sheji and Emperor Wanlong, and no one recommended them lightly.

"Xuanlou's proposal is very good, what do you think Aiqing?"

The ministers said a few words, and they all said yes. There is no big flaw in Li Luo's words, of course it is good for someone to come forward, in case Beifu can't hold it, naturally someone will be in front of him, why not do it.

"Then do you have a candidate for this leading general?"

The ministers exchanged heads and ears, and things happened suddenly, and they had to choose generals to send troops in a hurry, which was indeed a bit of a hurry. However, there is not much time to make the ministers noisy at the moment, and Zhuocheng is delayed for a day, and he doesn't know what kind of changes will happen to Yeliangzhou.

Di Jie coughed lightly and said: "Qiqi Shengshang, Weichen thinks that the three armies can be led by King Dingtian, and the army of Qinzhou and Yinzhou can be sent to the north, and the army that goes north along the Zhijiang River, and the sailors on the Zhijiang River should be led by the prince alone. ”

Without waiting for the ministers to speak, Emperor Wanlong waved his hand and said: "I have long had this intention, this time all the armies going north are under the jurisdiction of Xuanlou, and there is no need to discuss this matter." ”

"This, Holy Lord, the situation in the Western Mansion is unstable, and the countries of the Western Regions are about to move, will His Highness the Ninth be unable to do anything but make a mistake?" Sima Gu Lianying asked cautiously.

Emperor Wanlong glanced at Li Luo, and really wanted to hand over all these things to Li Luo to deal with, but Gu Lianying was not wrong to say that she lacked skills, and she could barely cope with it, maybe in the end, the bamboo basket would be empty.

"Xuanlou, what do you think?"

Li Luo said lightly: "There is nothing to worry about in the war in Xifu. ”

Emperor Wanlong was stunned, and the ministers in the palace were also sideways, a high-minded and arrogant Dingtian King, who was replaced by any minister in the court, I am afraid that no one would dare to say this. Di Jie glanced at Li Luo thoughtfully, it seems that the situation in the Western Regions is not as dangerous as the secret letter received by Zhongshuling, and the so-called countries joining forces may have something else.

Emperor Wanlong was overjoyed, and he had no time to distinguish whether what Li Luo said was beyond his strength, and shouted loudly: "Great, then the war in Beifu will all depend on Xuanlou." ”

Li Luo saluted respectfully, did not refuse, and no one in the hall refuted and objected, so it was decided. This situation really makes the old ministers have mixed tastes, once upon a time, there was no other available general except for a Dingtian King, which is really embarrassing. Shao Bao Ying Guanqi also wanted to recommend the generals under his account, but after thinking about it, he still sighed secretly, without saying much, whether it was qualifications or prestige, Li Luo was the best choice.

The commander has been decided, and the remaining commanders of the naval division and the commander of another large army. The commander of the sailor recommended Sima Gu Lianying. Although Gu Lianying is a civilian official, she is also well versed in martial arts, is quite good at military morality, is known for her wisdom and talent, and is also in an important position in charge of military politics and military endowments.

Gu Lianying was born in the Dagan family, and the clan is inextricably linked with the Dagan court, so there is no need to worry about defecting to the enemy and treason. Seeing Gu Lianying being ordered in danger, Li Luo's heart was gloomy, if Uncle Tai's sorrow was still there at this time, he would feel a little more at ease.

As for the branch that led the army north along the Zhejiang River, Li Luo originally belonged to Yuan Jun, the general of the shepherd wolf, and Yuan Jun was both civil and military, which could be used as a great use. However, without waiting for Li Luojuan to invite Emperor Wanlong, I saw that Taifu Ling Shutong was in a hurry to recommend a person, and he did not avoid relatives, and the person who recommended him was Taifu Yizi Ling Gumian.

Li Luo was stunned, his brows furrowed slightly, and between Ling Gumian there was a Ling Yiyi who made Li Luo feel ashamed, Ling Gumian's character and talent Li Luo really didn't pay attention to it, he only felt that Ling Gumian was a rich and noble son with extraordinary martial arts and a lot of city government.

At this moment, when he arrived at the court, Li Luo realized that he was wrong, and in all fairness, he seemed to have underestimated this Taifu Yizi. After Ling Shutong's recommendation, there was no shortage of people who praised him in public, even Di Jie had nothing to say, and Emperor Wanlong also nodded again and again, looking quite trusting of this Taifu Yizi, in short, there was something that everyone expected.

Emperor Wanlong asked Li Luo, the matter has come to this point, Li Luo can not say anything more, if the use of nepotism, the court ministers will naturally be dissatisfied, if the act of pushing back and obstructing will be more than worth the loss, and first see if this general of the forbidden army really has the talent of a general. Moreover, Yan Shenzhou and Youzhou also have Yuan Zhi, the deputy marshal of the Dingbei Army, and more than 300,000 troops under his command, even if Ling Gumian's strength is not good, Yuan Zhendang can also maneuver with the Caohai Iron Cavalry.

Li Luo accepted the order and agreed to the Taifu's proposal. However, after all, Ling Gumian was still leading the army for the first time, and Li Luo was afraid that he was not familiar with military affairs and would miss the fighter.
