Chapter 1726: Tighten the Spell
"Lord Wang, Wu Songwei urgently needs to rest...... Even if it is ten days and a half months, you can see with your own eyes that after the Second World War in Haizhou and Ganyu, Wu Songwei reduced his troops by more than 7,000 people, and he urgently needs to replenish his troops...... In addition, after the war, our army was desperately short of ammunition, and if we wanted to continue to go north, artillery shells had to be replenished immediately...... Lord Wang, the last general is not a lie! ”
Lu Zhiyu was in a hurry, he was surrounded by generals who had the same demands as him, and no one had a better life than others.
This is completely different from before the war, when the Northern Expeditionary Army's salaries and benefits were praised by the world, and now, since the beginning of the war, except for the first month, the army has not been paid for two months.
The First Army set out from Hangzhou to Wusongkou to cross the river, and did not allocate one or two taels of silver according to the old practice.
Li Guo was even more anxious, his red eyes were red, and he glared at Wu Zheng and said, "Lord Wang, you can't favor one over the other...... At the beginning, you made me enter Fengyang alone, and then you ordered me to lead Guangxin Wei to attack Fengyang City...... Guangxinwei fought bloodily and attacked Huaicheng...... The bloody battle in the city, the prince should know about it...... More than 2,000 lives...... They are all old brothers who followed Li and traveled thousands of miles from Shanxi! ”
Chi Erhan didn't say a word, looking out of the door with a numb face.
But Shi Kun couldn't hold it back, he said to Li Guo and Lu Zhiyu: "Although the two generals are true, our first army is not as easy as you in Xuyi and Sizhou, and when it was transferred from Tianchang to Xuyi, the total number of troops was less than 6,000, and the total number of enemy troops in Xuyi was more than 30,000...... Your casualties are not small, but our casualties are even greater...... There are 6,000 people, and now there are only 2,000 people left, and I want to ask the two generals, who should add them first? ”
These words made Lu Zhiyu temporarily shut his mouth.
Li Guo didn't agree, he looked at each other angrily, and shouted: "You are a district deputy general, and you dare to make noise here?!" ”
Huang Dahong was completely standing on Shi Kun's side at this time, and he said in a muffled voice: "General Li...... Vice General Shi is right....... ”
The generals of several parties had a dispute, and the scene was indeed a little "lively".
Except for Chi Erhan, who had been silent, no one noticed that Wu Zheng had quietly left the table.
……。
Chi Erhan was on the left courtyard wall outside the door and saw Wu Zheng standing with his hands in his hands and looking up at the clouds.
"Young Master is upset, right?"
Wu Zheng turned his head when he heard this, looked at Chi Erhan, and said with a slight smile, "What...... Can't sit still either? ”
Chi Erhan pursed his lips and hesitated for a moment, and said, "Actually...... The generals are right...... It is also ...... fact. ”
Wu Zheng looked at Chi Erhan with a smile, then nodded and said, "I know...... But there are too many monks and little porridge, so they can't share it...... Although southern Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong have now been pacified, the three guards of Kezhou and Ningbo have the responsibility of defending the territory, and they cannot be transferred to participate in the Northern Expedition, and the financial resources of the General's Office are not enough to mobilize 30,000 troops to travel 2,000 miles to Qingzhou to participate in the war...... At the moment, I only have in my hands the 6,000 student soldiers of the Taizhou Weihe Military Academy who were left in Gaoyou Prefecture by Yuan Ci Yiyi can maneuver...... Erhan, tell me, how should I distribute it? ”
Chi Erhan was stunned for a moment, looked up at Wu Zheng, and stopped talking a few times.
Wu Zheng kept looking at Chi Erhan gently, without urging.
After a long time, Chi Erhan spoke: "My department ...... The young master doesn't have to worry, even if Azig comes to the nest, I will defend Sizhou to the death, even if I fight to the death, I will never live up to the young master's trust! ”
Wu Zheng smiled noncommittally, turned around slowly, looked at the clouds floating in the sky, and said leisurely: "You hate me, for a whole month, you didn't send reinforcements to Xuyi, right?" ”
"No...... Master. Chi Erhan hurriedly denied it, but as soon as the words came out, his voice became dull, "Don't hide it from the young master, at first...... Did think about it...... In particular, when Azig sent 10,000 reinforcements to Sizhou, our army in Xuyi City was less than 4,000 people...... But later, when I heard that Liu Fang contained and harassed the enemy army in Jiuxian, and the enemy was difficult to supply, so Bai Yintu had to transfer the main force of Xuyi to encircle and suppress Liu Fang, I figured it out...... Young master, I don't blame you. ”
"You've figured it out!" Wu Zheng nodded and said, "Many times, the change is often due to inability to figure it out, suspicion, and unintentional fighting...... You should understand that you and Xiao An are the people I can't part with. ”
Chi Erhan lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, "Young Master...... I know wrong! ”
Wu Zheng turned around, waved his hand and said, "Then don't mention it...... Tell me how many men and supplies you want. ”
Chi Erhan was stunned, looked up and said, "Young master......?" ”
Wu Zheng smiled and said, "Your department has suffered too much damage, and you really need to replenish it, otherwise, if Azig is desperate, Sizhou may be in danger...... Don't deny it, with only 2,000 people, you can't hold Sizhou. ”
Chi Erhan hurriedly said: "But if the young master gives me the supply of soldiers, ...... the generals inside?" ”
Wu Zheng smiled: "I didn't say that I gave supplies. ”
"What does the young master mean ......?" Chi Erhan was really a little confused.
"I've got you in a compromise." Wu Zheng patted Chi Erhan on the shoulder and said, "Although your department has suffered heavy casualties, all those who can be left behind are veterans...... Go and talk to Liu Fang, he admires you very much! ”
Chi Erhan was puzzled at first, and then his eyes lit up, and he said with joy: "It turns out that the young master has already made arrangements...... I, I'm going to find Liu Fang....... ”
Wu Zheng hurriedly turned around Chi Erhan, glared and said, "What's the hurry...... Roaring in such a hurry, I'm afraid that the clever people inside won't know? Steady...... Quietly pulled Liu aside to talk. ”
"Yes."
……。
Wu Zheng went out quietly, and came in quietly.
The quarrel in the hall was still loud, and no one even noticed that Wu Zheng had gone out.
Or, even if someone finds out, pretend they didn't.
After Wu Zheng slowly sat down, he coughed dryly.
Suddenly, everyone fell silent, and their eyes focused on Wu Zheng's face.
"Li Guo."
"Yes."
"In this battle, Guangxinwei lone army went deep, and the bloody battle was in Huai...... Take credit! Wu Zheng said calmly and gently to Li Guo.
As soon as these words came out, there was a soft "buzz" in the hall.
Guangxinwei does have merit, but it has not risen to the first merit, you know, so far, Guangxinwei, who has collected the remnants of ginger soil, has not launched an attack on Fengyang City, only to conquer a small city in Linhuai, and on the first merit, it is indeed difficult to convince the army.
Li Guo was stunned, he didn't expect that Wu Zheng would credit Guangxinwei with his first credit.
"Lord Wang...... This, I'm afraid, something is in......appropriate. ”
"What's wrong?" Wu Zheng's voice was not angry.
Li Guo glanced at the generals around him in embarrassment, swallowed his saliva, and said, "Guangxinwei only captures ...... Linhuai City. ”
Wu Zheng let out an "oh", nodded and said, "Oh, that's right...... However, Lone still thinks that Guangxin Wei should be the first to make a decision...... Fengyang City, isn't it already close at hand? ”
As soon as these words came out, the voice in the hall fell silent.
Even if you are stupid, you are afraid that it is not a good thing to hear this.
Although Guangxinwei has suffered a lot of casualties, it has a large base, and there are at least 10,000 available troops.
