Chapter 369: The Prologue Begins
"Isn't it a bit too much for the general to do this?" Wang Xi didn't expect that as soon as he came, Liu Tao would seize power.
"If Zhang Yi says that, then I may explain a little, but for you......" Liu Tao motioned to his subordinate to bring a box, opened it and handed him a seal, "Look at what this is?" ”
Wang Xi was very puzzled, so he stepped forward to check it, and when he saw the words on the seal, his face suddenly changed. Just because this is the official seal of Gohara County!
"It seems that you should understand...... the corners of Liu Tao's mouth raised slightly, "In terms of military rank, I am the general of Zhenbei, and I should be in charge of all the departments of the border towns of the state; Furthermore, I have the official seal of Gohara Taishou, which means that in the officialdom, you are also my subordinate, and as far as your position is concerned, what qualifications do you have to question my decision? ”
"This ......" Wang Xi really has nothing to say, whether it is a military position or an official position, Liu Tao is above Wang Xi.
"On the battlefield, the most taboo thing is that the command of the various departments cannot be unified. The counterinsurgency army in Liangzhou had a similar situation, so they began to rebel almost three years ago, and there has been no counterinsurgency so far.
Ben General has personally been to the front line and knows the situation best, and seeing that the assassin is unable to come forward to command, Ben will personally take over the command...... Wang Duwei, what do you have any doubts? Liu Tao looked at Wang Xi like this.
"I ...... The last general didn't dare to ......" Wang Xi wanted to refute, he worked hard to guard the frontier for the imperial court, almost more than ten years, but Liu Tao, a young general, had only been here in the clouds for a long time, and he actually wanted to take away his military power.
But he didn't dare to refute, he knew better that as long as he refuted even one word, he would be taken down.
"Very well, from now on, the two armies will be combined into one. The baggage supplies on your side will be kept and distributed in a unified manner. Liu Tao was not polite, and went directly to the bottom of the kettle to draw salary.
"Yes......" Wang Xi gritted his teeth, and the baggage supplies were taken away, so he could only obediently obey the dispatch.
What I was really worried about was that Liu Tao would deliberately target him, and it was clear from previous contacts that Liu Tao was not a good person.
Let's just say that this kind person will openly poach a few of the capable officers under his command? Look at the few officers behind Liu Tao, they are familiar enough......
It's just that now one or two, apparently both of them are in high positions, and even take charge of an army alone. Wang Xi had to admire Liu Tao's courage, this kind of general who dug up halfway can be used so reassuringly. What made him most helpless was that Liu Tao could give them what he couldn't give at all......
On the same day, Liu Tao took over the command of the 3,000 cavalry under Wang Shi and began to reorganize. The three cavalry teams were dispersed when they said they were scattered, and then they were led by Zhang Ye, Wei Xu and Wen Chou. As for the original lieutenant or Sima of other departments, he was assigned to Zhang Ye and the Wenchou Department, and his main responsibility was to protect the baggage.
What made these three lieutenants (Sima of the other department) most depressed was that the soldiers didn't listen to them, and the three of them were completely hollowed out.
As for Wei Xu's original position in Lu Bu's army, he promoted Pang De to command, which can be regarded as learning from Lu Bu nearby. It's a pity that Ma Dai is still young, so let him go to the academy to study for a few years first, and he didn't plan to let him go to the battlefield so quickly.
"This reorganization, at least more than ten days can not go to war, thieves will bypass here at any time, enter Taiyuan and Shangdang to loot, is this really good?" Wang Shi gritted his teeth and looked at Liu Tao.
"As long as those Huns cross the border, I will naturally send troops to deal with it, and three or five thousand Huns are not worried." Liu Tao replied.
Wang Xi didn't know that he had already made the only way to Luo County in Xihe County in advance, and opened the 'Wind Dragon's Insight'. Within this range, he could at least notice if a large army of enemy troops passed by.
A small group of raiding troops can be ignored, but if a large group of troops comes, as long as it is less than 10,000, only 2,000 cavalry and 1,000 archers are needed, which is actually completely enough to deal with it.
He didn't know that Liu Tao was waiting here, on the one hand, he was waiting for Zhang Yi to hang up, and on the other hand, he was taking the opportunity to give Zhang Fei an order to Xianyang and ask him to quickly go over and take over the defense of Wuyuan County.
The cavalry of Wuyuan County should have been brought out by Wang Shi, and the remaining foot soldiers, as well as the local defenders, should not be worried!
"My subordinates have reminded me that I hope the general will not regret it in the future." Wang Xi tried his best to pretend to be calm, but Liu Tao knew very well in his heart that he must be gritting his teeth in his heart.
"Peace of mind, since Ben General has taken over the military power here, then whatever happens, Ben will bear it alone. But I don't want our army to fight each other at the critical juncture of foreign invasion. If such a thing happened, it would have been severely punished, so don't be unpredictable! Liu Tao looked at Wang Xi.
"Of course my subordinates understand......" Wang Xi nodded, and couldn't help complaining in his heart: Just after I came, I took away all the other people's parts, and I was embarrassed to say that there should be no fights between each other?
In this way, Liu Tao really stayed in Luo County for more than ten days, until the 3,000 cavalry completely accepted their fate, and then accepted the command of Zhang Ye, Wen Chou and Wei Xu.
Wei Xu was originally also an officer of the border army, and he used Lu Bu to be named General Pingdi, and persuaded these cavalrymen to be obedient and obedient, and he would be appointed as a general in the future...... At one time, more than half of the non-commissioned officers and a small number of officers changed their courts.
Zhang Ye and Wen Chou, the two have their own means to command the army. Ten days later, he trained the soldiers under his command to be obedient. The soldiers admired the capable people, and when they found that these two lieutenants were more capable than the previous officers, they naturally knew how to choose.
One general is incompetent, affecting thousands of troops, whether it is ability or future, the previous captains are not comparable.
On the night of the tenth day, Zhang Yi finally swallowed his breath. His injuries worsened for ten days, and he finally developed a fever that could not be reduced. Finally, at night, when the subordinate who took care of him was about to wipe his body, he found that Zhang Yi was no longer breathing.
Zhang Yi died, and Wang Xi's last straw was gone. Liu Tao is now rightfully taking over the military power, and there is no one who has the ability and qualification to question him.
Liu Tao is also kind, and came forward to deal with Zhang Yi's funeral, due to the special situation at present, there is no way to have a grand funeral, but if he can help, he will try to help. The old slave of Zhang Yi's family, seeing this, knelt down and thanked Liu Tao, saying that he was benevolent and righteous.
"I feel like I've become bad......" When he was alone at night, Liu Tao looked at the starry sky and sighed. He had the opportunity to cure Zhang Yi, but he never did it.
"The lord is just focusing on the overall situation, and his subordinates are still worried that in the past ten days, the lord guild will give birth to a woman's kindness and come forward to treat Zhang Yi." Guo Jia stepped forward and comforted.
"Everything is for Sanxing Yanhan, everything is for the future of China!" Liu Tao closed his eyes and kept chattering. It's a form of self-hypnosis, but he does need to be firm in his heart.
"Feng Xiao ......" for a while, Liu Tao looked at Guo Jia, "We will start mobilizing troops tomorrow, and it may last until next year!" ”
"No matter how long it lasts, his subordinates are willing to accompany him and witness the Sanxing of Yanhan with their own eyes." Guo Jia bowed solemnly. 8)
