"I'm coming!" Wei Qing hurriedly agreed loudly and stepped into the account. As soon as he entered the big tent, Wei Qing was stunned. The tent was full of many generals, led by the commander-in-chief of the Left Route Army, Dingyuan General Wu Ming. Wu Ming left here and went to the fourth team on the left after the battle, and he actually returned here today, and he also brought a few generals that Wei Qing didn't know, and he was also General Chang in his uniform.

"Are we going to attack with all our troops to save Fang County?" Wei Qing blurted out.

Several new generals couldn't help but admire, and immediately raised Wei Qing to the level of Zhuge Liang in their hearts.

Wu Ming nodded and smiled, secretly approving in his heart. As soon as Wei Qing saw several Chang generals gathered together, and it was him Wu Ming who led him, he immediately guessed that the entire Left Route Army had gathered together, and the Left Route Army was definitely not a random move, such a large army gathering must have made a big move. Now there is only one place where the five routes of military horses need to be dispatched together: Fang County.

Because Fang County was the main transportation route between the Left Route Army and the Central Route Army, and it was also a transit point for grain and grass, the recent mobilization of the Jin Army showed that they were very likely to launch an attack on Fang County, one to cut off the connection between the Left Route Army and the Central Route Army, and the other to grab grain and grass to relieve the urgent need.

It's not that Wu Ming can't make this series of reasoning, but if he wants to react immediately without thinking like Wei Qing, he can't do it.

"Everyone, this is Wei Qing," Wu Ming introduced to the generals present, "Although this person is only a chief, he has the talent of a general, and the commander wants to use this person as a staff officer, and you should pay more attention to the suggestions he puts forward in the future." ”

Wu Ming looked at everyone as he spoke, and everyone nodded.

"Commander, the last general has an opinion!" A voice rang out.

Wu Ming frowned, and everyone looked at the place where the voice came from, but it was Ma Chao, who had just been promoted to a tooth general.

"What advice does General Ma have?" Wu Ming's tone was three points more sarcastic.

"Don't dare," Ma Chao looked directly into Wu Ming's eyes, and did not back down, "General Wu, the great talent of Wei Shichang, is appreciated, the last general once personally followed Wei Shichang to fight, and he was very obedient to Wei Shichang's command and planning. ”

Wu Ming's eyes were a little more puzzled: "In that case, why did General Ma speak out against it?" ”

"Because with Wei Qing's talent, he is only a small man, and like the last general, he is thousands of miles worse than Wei Qing, but he is an official and a tooth general, and the last general really can't understand it, why can't Wei Qing be promoted?"

I see. It turned out that Ma Chao was not against Wei Qing's command, but was aggrieved for Wei Qing.

Wu Ming smiled: "Of course it can be promoted, Ben Shuai will appoint Wei Shi Chang as a guerrilla." ”

"What's the point?" Ma Chao immediately said, "Once the war is over, isn't Wei Qing still a chief?" Is this how my big man treats generals? ”

The generals sitting in the seat talked a lot for a while, and many nodded in agreement.

Wu Ming cleared his throat, and the tent fell silent.

"This marshal also feels sorry for Wei Qing," Wu Ming said, "but the appointment and dismissal of personnel is a matter for the Ministry of War, and the marshal has no right to decide, but of course the marshal will strongly recommend Wei Qing to the Ministry of War, and I hope that you can say more good words at that time." ”

"This is natural."

"Absolutely."

The generals have expressed their positions.

Wu Ming ignored the congregational generals, his eyes looked at one person: Gu Weidong, who had been huddled in the corner without making a sound.

"General Gu, what is your opinion?" Wu Ming suddenly asked Gu Weidong directly.

Gu Weidong chuckled in his heart.

He didn't expect Wu Ming to ask himself so directly. This is clearly saying: As long as you Gu Weidong don't make trouble, it's done.

He felt a fever on his face for a while, and seeing everyone looking at him, he could only nod: "The last general agrees." ”

"Excellent," Wu Ming nodded, and turned to Wei Qing: "Chief Wei, from today onwards, you are still a guerrilla, and when this battle is over, General Liu and General Gu Lianming and I recommend to the military department to protect you as a 。。。。。。 Wu Ming pondered for a moment and looked at Liu Anbang.

"General!" Liu Anbang immediately interfaced.

"Yes, General!" Wu Ming nodded, and then asked Gu Weidong again: "What does General Gu think?" ”

Gu Weidong could only grit his teeth secretly, but nodded again and again on the surface: "Of course you can, of course you can." ”

As a result, Wei Qing became a guerrilla again.

He felt as if he had returned to his childhood, sitting in a yo-yo car, Wu Chang ----guerrilla---- what Chang ---- guerrilla, what will you do next time? Can you really become a general all at once? Whether he can or not, anyway, now he is a guerrilla again.

"Okay, that's it, Wei Qing, you just stay here and follow Ben Shuai, and the whole army will be pulled!" Wu Ming ordered.

Wei Qing had no choice but to stay. In fact, he really wanted to go and see Jiang Xiaoyu, at least apologize and say thank you. But now that he was busy, he didn't dare to leave without permission, so he could only help Wu Ming deal with military affairs.

The entire left route army of the Han army marched all the way to Fang County.

It can be said that this is the first time that Wei Qing has felt that the Han army is strong and strong.

Although there are many recruits, the original soldiers have experienced several major battles and have rich experience, and thanks to Jiang Xiaoyu's blessing, the grain and grass of the Left Route Army were basically delivered without discount, and many soldiers received their salaries in full for the first time, and they actually ate the full amount of meat that had always existed on paper for the first time, so the morale was also very high. In particular, almost everyone knew that Fang County meant to them their reinforcements, salaries, and food, so the soldiers also understood the significance of this battle.

The 50,000 army went down to the village outside Fang County, plus the 5,000 defenders of Fang County itself, with a total number of 55,000 people, waiting for the Jin army.

Wei Qing didn't take the time to see Jiang Xiaoyu until the army left the village.

"Why didn't you go back?" As soon as Wei Qing saw Jiang Xiaoyu, he asked directly.

"I can't go back." Jiang Xiaoyu looked naughty, "My father went to see General Wu, and when he came back, he felt a cold, so he should not move lightly, so he could only follow the army to recuperate, besides, now the Jin army is blocking our way back, without the protection of your General Wei, where can we rush over?" ”

Wei Qing laughed. He felt very relaxed with Jiang Xiaoyu, at least not like before.

"Why didn't you report the assassins to General Liu?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked.

Wei Qing smiled bitterly: "What evidence do I have to prove that someone assassinated me?" The physical evidence is just a cheap earring that I got out of nowhere, and the only human witness is you, and if I report it to the public, people may first suspect that I am harassing you. ”

"You're here to harass me." Jiang Xiaoyu's voice suddenly lowered, "But I like it." ”

Wei Qing had nothing to say for a while. He looked at Jiang Xiaoyu, Jiang Xiaoyu first lowered his head, and then slowly, but firmly, raised his head, his eyes flashed, looking directly at Wei Qing, there seemed to be a longing in his eyes.

A hot current surged in Wei Qing's heart, and he slowly took a step forward, wanting to hug Jiang Xiaoyu.

The horn sounded.

Wei Qing sighed helplessly, waved his hand to Jiang Xiaoyu, turned around and walked all the way to the Zhongjun tent.

Jiang Xiaoyu looked at Wei Qing's back, her white teeth bit her lip gently, she could only pray silently in her heart, hoping that Wei Qing was safe and sound, and now, she was no longer as curious about Wei Qing's bravery as she was at the beginning, she instead hoped that Wei Qing would not be too brave, at least, not to fight hard, because Wei Qing's life not only belonged to himself, but also to her Jiang Xiaoyu.

When Wei Qing walked into the big tent, half of the generals were already there, and Wu Ming was sitting upright in the middle, with a serious face.

Seeing that the people had almost arrived, Wu Ming said: "Everyone, I just received a report that there are 50,000 Jin troops coming to attack. ”

There was a buzz in the crowd.

Fifty-five thousand against fifty-thousand, the Han army had no advantage in numbers.

"I have gathered you today because I am also hesitating: is it to fight or to defend? If we can hold on, the Jin army may have to retreat as soon as the grain and grass are exhausted, but if we defend it, the initiative will belong to the Jin army, and then they will fight the east or the west as they like, which will make us very passive. ”

"I think I should keep my duty." Liu Anbang spoke first, "Although the number of our army is large, more than 10,000 are new soldiers, not to mention that the Jin army has always been brave and good at fighting, and it is difficult for us to win one-on-one." As long as it is well guarded, the Jin army will naturally retreat. ”

All the generals nodded one after another, and they all agreed to defend it.

"General Liu is right." Wu Ming's heart also wanted to keep it, but he was still a little hesitant, and when he saw that everyone agreed to keep it, he also decided.

"There will be something to say at the end." Wei Qing spoke up.

There was a sudden silence in the tent. Could it be that Wei Qing advocates attacking?

"Wei Guerrilla, do you have a different opinion?" Wu Ming was also a little surprised, the matter was so obvious, why did Wei Qing have the opposite opinion?

Wei Qing stretched out his hand, picked up the teacups on the table from left to right, walked to the middle, and put the teacups on the ground one by one: "This is Fang County, this is Liaocheng, this is Qingcheng, and this is Anhu County." He ordered the teacup locally, and if the teacup was not enough, he would use the lid of the cup, "Fang County is important, but the other three places are equally important, and if we lose any of them, it will cause us big trouble." If we hold here with the whole army, and the Jin army either divides its forces to attack or the whole army to attack, how will we respond? As General Liu said, with one-on-one, we have no chance of winning, if the Jin army divides the troops to attack, we divide the troops to respond to the enemy, we may fail everywhere, if the whole army meets the enemy, we can't take care of the left and right, we will be led by the nose of the Jin army, tired and tired to death. ”

The generals nodded.

"So what's your claim?" Wu Ming asked.

"Rather than being tired to death, it is better to fight to decide!" Wei Qing replied simply, "Now in the decisive battle, although there is no certainty of victory, it is also not a sure defeat, if we wait for the Jin army to mobilize us, we will be defeated." ”

"Wei Qing, you are!" Gu Wei spoke.

Wei Qing was stunned. It's not that he didn't think that Gu Weidong would make trouble, but it's good that Gu Weidong can understand something like this to study military intelligence, so he has always been silent, what's wrong with it today? General Gu is actually going to express his views on the military situation?
