"The king of the county has won the award, and the last general will not dare to be ashamed!"

Yang Congyi hurriedly got up, he understood that the admiration in the mouth of the king of Pu'an was just talking, and it couldn't be taken seriously. How could a noble county king admire a military general, if he said that he admired the civil officials who ruled the world, then it was said that in the past, at least the important ministers of the world were all asked by universities.

"Vice Envoy Yang, please take a seat."

Zhao Ying showed a slight smile on his face again, almost invisible.

"Xiao Wang has heard in Lin'an that it is difficult to raise grain and grass for the general camp in Wuzhou, and a few days ago when he was first selected for the general camp, Xiao Wang has asked Lu to join the army to go to Wuzhou and Quzhou with letters, and presumably grain and grass will be transported in the near future."

"Thank you, King Jun!"

Yang Congyi hurriedly thanked him, and then said: "More than 20,000 soldiers in the election camp are about to run out of grain and grass, and the king of the county came in time, which really solves the urgent need of the election camp, otherwise the consequences of running out of grain are unimaginable." At the end of these days, he will be in the mountains, but his heart is in the camp of the election generals, and he is afraid that the camp will not be able to raise food and grass, and the people will be panicked and make a big incident. The king of the county came from Lin'an in time to avoid a tragedy in the election camp and save tens of thousands of lives in the election camp, and the last general is grateful! ”

After saying that, he got up again and made a big salute.

"Vice Envoy Yang doesn't have to be like this, please take a seat."

Zhao Yuan's body moved slightly, and the expression on his face gradually relaxed, it seemed that Yang Congyi's words made him feel very useful.

Waiting for Yang Congyi to sit down again, Zhao Ying said: "Originally, Xiao Wang should have come to Wuzhou a long time ago, but there was something wrong with Lin'an, and he really couldn't get out. Recently, I have been idle, and I have the opportunity to come to the selection camp to visit the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty. Xiao Wang was also ordered by the emperor and the imperial court, mainly to raise military food and grass for more than 20,000 soldiers in the general camp, but fortunately it was not too late. ”

"The king of the county came at the right time." Yang Congyi respectfully agreed.

The two generals, Li Xianzhong and Shao Hongyuan, are inconvenient to speak at this time, after all, their identities are only judged in the selection of generals, and the affairs of the selection of generals have nothing to do with him, and if the king of the county does not ask them, it is difficult for them to say anything.

"How's the selection going?" Zhao Ying suddenly asked.

"In October last year, a total of 41 forbidden troops came to the selection camp to participate in the selection of generals, three of them were late and lost their qualifications for the selection of generals, and the other 38 forbidden troops then participated in the selection of generals, and then 18 of them gave up entering the mountains to carry out actual combat challenges, and since November last year, a total of 19 forbidden armies have participated in the selection of generals, and now only the last one has not yet entered the mountains."

Yang Congyi roughly talked about the selection of generals, and he didn't know whether the king of the county asked casually, or if he was really interested in the selection of generals, so he didn't dare to say more.

"Combat challenges? How to fight? Do the two armies fight each other? ”

Zhao Ying immediately asked three questions in a row, and it could be seen from his words and expressions that he was very interested in the actual combat challenge.

Yang Congyi immediately replied: "The challenge of selecting generals in actual combat is indeed a battle between the two armies, and since the formation of the selection battalion in July last year, it has specially trained two selection units of selected generals to accept the challenges of various armies in the mountains, and these two units will take turns in the mountains to accept the challenges of various forbidden troops who have come to the selection camp to participate in the selection of generals. Once the actual combat challenge begins, the challenge troops will engage in actual combat confrontation with the selected troops in an area of dozens of miles. The terrain in the mountains is changeable, and there are countless mountain paths, and the two armies can use various means to find out each other's marching routes, or lure the other side into the traps and ambushes set up by their own side in advance, or directly lay down the formation, wait for the rest of the work, and wait for the other side to break through the formation and challenge, in short, the armies can take advantage of the favorable terrain and landforms, use various tactics, and finally win the actual battle. The selection of the general camp is to use this form to select young generals who dare to fight and can fight for the imperial court of the Great Song Dynasty, and if the imperial court cultivates them again, there will be a steady stream of loyal generals to defend the country and resist the Jin people and Western Xia! ”

"Okay, well, my Great Song Dynasty is now only half of the country, if there is no loyal ministers and good generals to protect it, the Great Song Dynasty will be in danger. What is the result of the actual selection? Is there a general who dares to fight and win? ”

Zhao Ying is also a young man after all, and he was very excited to listen to the introduction.

Yang Congyi immediately replied: "At present, there are nineteen actual combat challenges, and the nineteen challenge troops have two wins and seventeen losses. Although the challenge troops did not win many victories, they still had the courage to dare to fight, and if they could still train as well as they did in the general selection camp after returning to their respective stations, they would definitely have a chance to win the actual battle if they came back to the general selection camp next time. ”

"Only two armies won?"

When Zhao Ying heard Yang Congyi say this, he was immediately disappointed, that is to say, there are more than 40 troops in the general camp, and there are only two that can really fight? Revoke the dismissal, they also deserve it!

"King of the county, two of the challenge troops have won the challenge, which is already amazing!"

When Li Xianzhong heard this, it was their turn to judge and speak, so he spoke first, one step ahead of Shao Hongyuan.

"Oh, what does General Lee mean by that?"

Zhao Ying was a little puzzled when she heard this, and her brows furrowed slightly.

Li Xianzhong replied: "The king of the county doesn't know, at the beginning of the formation of the general selection battalion, he requisitioned and transferred the elite forbidden army from the Xuanwei Army to form the selection of the general battalion, and the selection of the general troops is the best of the best, from these four troops selected through two or two actual battles, it is no exaggeration to say that these two selection of general troops are the most powerful of the more than 40 troops of the selection of general battalion. Before these two units accepted the challenge of selecting generals, they were personally led by Deputy Envoy Yang to train in the mountains for three months, and they were very familiar with the various terrains and routes in the mountains, and they were like being in their own homes in the mountains. Although the challenge troops also went to the mountains to familiarize themselves with the terrain and landforms before entering the mountains to challenge, they did not have a long time and limited understanding, and if their own strength was equal to that of the selected troops, they would not be able to take advantage of the slightest advantage in actual combat, and unless they were stronger than the selected general troops, it would be impossible to win the challenge at all. The final general will challenge the judgment as a selected general, to be honest, most of the challenge troops are still okay, and they are not as weak as the results show. There are also many outstanding generals and colonels in the troops that failed in the actual combat challenge, and they can be trained. Moreover, the criteria for selecting generals this time is not only to see whether they can win the actual combat challenge, but also to comprehensively consider their other performances, such as marching, fighting will and daily training, etc., and we ultimately want to select good generals for the imperial court. Please rest assured, there will definitely be no shortage of outstanding generals who can be selected this time! ”

"Really?"

When Zhao Ying heard this, his doubts were slightly resolved.

"That's true. The selection of generals formed by the battalion is much stronger than the troops who came to participate in the challenge, and besides, they are engaged in actual combat challenges in the mountains they are familiar with, and it is normal for the challenge troops to lose more and win less. However, this does not mean that the challenging troops are all poor, and judging from the fact that the last general has watched the battle with the army for half a year, the general schools of some units are still worth cultivating. If the imperial court trains these generals well, ten or twenty years later, there will be no shortage of good generals in the Great Song army. ”

Shao Hongyuan seized the opportunity to say a few words in front of the county king and show his face, after all, this kind of opportunity is not something that anyone can encounter. The king of Pu'an is a person who has the opportunity to inherit the Great Song Dynasty, and now he can let the king of the county know himself, and he may be able to go further in the future and soar.

"It's good, it's really a blessing for the court! In this way, Xiao Wang is also relieved. If this election is successful, Xiao Wang will be rewarded for you! ”

Hearing Shao Hongyuan say this again, even if Zhao Ying still had doubts in his heart, he could only believe it, after all, they were famous generals who had experienced a hundred battles and had rich military experience, and they must be able to see clearly whether a general can fight a war.

"Thank you, King Jun!"

Yang Congyi, Li Xianzhong, and Shao Hongyuan thanked them all.

"Deputy Envoy Yang, as far as Xiao Wang knows, the matter of selecting generals should have ended before the end of last year, but I don't want to delay it until now. Xiao Wang wants to know, when will the election end? ”

Yang Congyi said: "Back to the county king, the matter of selecting generals is very different from the previous plan, at the beginning in Lin'an did not determine the place of actual combat challenge, and when the camp area of the selected general was determined, I realized that it was not easy to fight in the mountains, and it would take several days to come and go and march, and it was too late to adjust." Now only the last army has not yet entered the mountain, and if they enter the mountain tomorrow, the challenge will be over in eight days, and the results of this election will be four or five days away. The general predicted that the selection of generals would be completed within half a month, and within 20 days, the forbidden troops would be able to leave the camp and return to the garrisons of the various armies. ”

Zhao Ying was speechless after hearing this, it will be over in half a month, the time is too short, if the forbidden army stationed abroad cannot be disbanded in time, and the formation of a new army can not make up his mind, as soon as the battalion is withdrawn, the armies will disperse the same way, and the trouble will be great.

In the palace that day, the ministers only agreed to revoke the dismissal of the forbidden army stationed abroad, but there was no conclusion on when all of them would be revoked, and the new army to be formed was also difficult to determine the candidates for the unified army, and there were endless quarrels, so in the end they could only be put on hold until he left Lin'an, and there was still no conclusion.

The election of generals in Wuzhou is about to end, if the imperial court still can't make up its mind, will the more than 40 forbidden troops in the election camp still stay in Wuzhou? In what name will they be left behind? It's all big questions.

Zhao Ying came to the election camp, he knew that this trouble was still involved, if the placement of more than 20,000 people in the election camp was not good, I am afraid this is the place where he was buried, although he will not die, but the throne should not be thought about anymore.

On that day, the ministers quickly agreed to abolish the forbidden army stationed abroad, but after the emperor asked Zhao Ying to come to Wuzhou, the previous proposal to merge and select the generals and battalions of the army to form a new army has not been able to be agreed, and several parties have been fighting. At that time, Zhao Ying didn't know why, but he just felt that some people were unclear-headed, and now it seems that they are deliberately digging a pit for him.

If the news of the abolition of all the forbidden troops stationed abroad comes, and the formation of a new army is inconclusive, how can the more than 20,000 people in the general selection camp be appeased?

If some people in the DPRK and China demand that the camp be revoked on the grounds that the election of generals is over, then the well-trained forbidden army of the 41st Roads will have no way to retreat, and there will be no establishment at that time, and there will be no grain and grass, what will happen to Wuzhou?

Zhao Ying couldn't help frowning, hiding around, or falling into the pit!
