Chapter 336: Lu Zhiwu
Li Xinchen's voice fell slowly, and all the generals on the stage subconsciously held their breath, Chen Zhishen, Cao Zhong and others looked awe-inspiring, they knew what Li Xinchen meant.
A moment of negligence does not mean that the whole situation is irreparable, they still have time, they can still fight. What's more, this matter has come to an end, and they will face a new battle situation next.
They and the Northern Zhou will stand on a fair battlefield again. This time Huarong Dao was frustrated, so next time he would use the blood of the enemy to wash away this shame.
Looking at the increasingly serious expressions of Chen Zhishen and the others, Li Xinchen also knew that they had understood what they meant. In fact, he came to the barracks in person early in the morning to stabilize the morale of the army.
Although the main army available under Li Xinchen's command has now been drawn to Zhangchuan County, everyone knows that the main force that Li Xinchen really relies on is still the more than 1,000 people who stayed in Jiangling City, because these are the subordinates brought out by Li Xinchen.
Therefore, Li Xinchen must ensure that Chen Zhishen, Cao Zhong and others are high-spirited and still unswervingly follow him under his banner to rush forward without any psychological burden.
Of course, in addition to appeasing Chen Zhishen and the others, Li Xinchen also had a very important thing, that is, to meet Xiao Maha who had just been transferred to his subordinate, Lu Zhiwu.
In fact, as soon as he stepped onto the stage, Li Xinchen knew that the burly young man standing opposite Chen Zhishen was Lu Zhiwu, a young man in his twenties who was about the same age as Pei Zilie, and it was the time to compete.
Because he inherited the grace of his deceased father and the previous head of the Lu family, Lu Zilong, Lu Zhiwu's starting point was relatively high, and he was easily qualified as a partial general just after following Wu Mingche in Luliang.
But having said that, if this Lu Zhiwu doesn't have the rest of the merits, if he wants to continue to move up smoothly, I'm afraid it won't be so easy. After all, there are so many families in the southeast, and it can't be because Lu Zilong has a lot of merits, and the imperial court has been promoting his heirs.
This is also why Lu Zhiwu has no objection to being able to follow Li Xinchen, a rising star and a son of a poor family, because he also wants to be able to really make contributions.
Li Xinchen still had great expectations for this young man, because it is said that in the Battle of Luliang, he had followed Xiao Maha several times to break into the enemy's formation, and he was quite familiar with the tactics of surprise advances.
Li Xinchen didn't ask him to be able to learn all the light cavalry breakthrough and the housekeeping skills that Xiao Maha relied on to become famous—after all, Xiao Maha is a demon in this regard, as long as he can learn seventy-seven-eighty-eight, it is enough.
In terms of generals, what Li Xinchen needs is not a general at all, if he is a general, he himself and even Xiao Shilian, Pei Zilie and others are obviously more suitable, what he needs is a striker and fierce general like Xiao Maha.
Obviously, Lu Zhiwu is such a character, which can be seen from his physique and name alone. Especially now that Li Xinchen is not at ease to let Chen Zhishen, who is in charge of the Chinese army, leave, Lu Zhiwu is obviously the best choice for the striker.
As for Cao Zhong, his personality is steady, once the incident suddenly occurs, it may be somewhat out of proportion, in fact, he is not a suitable candidate for the striker, which makes it more suitable for him to command the flank.
However, Li Xinchen still knew about his intimacy, so he didn't rush to greet Lu Zhiwu and other new generals, but first appeased Chen Zhishen and Cao Zhong and others. Only by working together can we better unite with these new soldiers, right?
As for what happened on the school ground, Li Xinchen knew at a glance,
Obviously, Chen Zhishen and these guys gave Lu Zhiwu a good dismount, and this dismount is obviously more shocking and reliable than any verbal provocation and abuse, or the rest of the one-on-one fighting.
After all, the fight on the battlefield is not a relative insult of a few people, nor is it a one-on-one fight, but the desperate efforts of one army after another, relying not only on the courage and strength of words. Therefore, the drill between the two armies is obviously better than the rest of the methods.
And Lu Zhiwu and the others looked wrong, and Li Xinchen could guess what was going on.
It seems that the two sides are evenly matched, and even Lu Zhiwu's subordinates are elite soldiers carefully selected by Xiao Maha from various departments, and it stands to reason that they should not fight so badly, but in fact, Lu Zhiwu ignored one thing, that is, most of these soldiers under his command are arrogant soldiers, and when they are gathered together, they are naturally not only unconvinced by their opponents, but even with each other.
This also makes Lu Zhiwu's command look powerful, but in fact it is an out-and-out plate of loose sand.
What's more, the soldiers and horses under Chen Zhishen and others are especially idle people, these soldiers who followed Li Xinchen from the south bank of the river to Zhangshan County all the way to Zhangshan County made the greatest feats in the entire Jiangling Battle, even if a lot of recruits were added later, but there is no way to wear away the spirit and sense of belonging of this army.
Not to mention fighting with friendly forces, even if they face enemies several times their size, they will rush forward with a whoop. Moreover, Chen Zhishen was responsible for training soldiers before, and he had his own uniqueness in the arrangement of formations, the regulation of morale, etc., which is why Li Xinchen could rest assured that all his recruit training would be handed over to Chen Zhishen.
Therefore, an army that can work closely together and has high morale will certainly be able to deal with an army that is even at odds with each other.
"Lu Zhiwu see General Dangkou!" Lu Zhiwu stepped forward and said, of course he would not wait stupidly for Li Xinchen to come forward and talk to him. In any case, he will obey orders under Li Xinchen in the future, not to mention that the performance of Li Xinchen's soldiers just now is enough to impress Lu Zhiwu.
Li Xinchen smiled and nodded: "I have admired General Ren's name for a long time, and this general is also full of expectations for General Ren to fight bravely." ”
Lu Zhiwu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he had heard of this youngest general in Da Chen many times before, but this was just hearsay, and it could not really be used as a theoretical basis for judgment, not to mention that many of these hearsay were obvious exaggerations, and Lu Zhiwu only laughed when he heard it.
At this time, seeing Li Xinchen with his own eyes, Lu Zhiwu was at ease. Obviously, this general is not the legendary god and ruthless, just a young man who seems to be very easy to get along with.
However, Lu Zhiwu did not dare to take it lightly, after all, those arrogant soldiers under Li Xinchen's command were able to defeat Lu Zhiwu and them, but they were respectful to Li Xinchen, indicating that this young general must have something extraordinary.
Li Xinchen greeted several generals behind Lu Zhiwu one by one, and turned his eyes to look at the soldiers and horses on the school ground, a total of more than 2,000 people, who had already begun their daily exercises.
After all, it's only morning, and it's unlikely that the two sides will be the only thing they do in the day. Especially those generals under Lu Zhiwu realized the shortcomings and stepped up the training of their subordinates, otherwise they would lose people and drag themselves on the battlefield at that time, which would be fatal!
