Chapter 101: The Only Voice (2)
The atmosphere in the entire tent seemed to be condensed in an instant.
Everyone present stopped their movements and turned their eyes to the focus of the tent - Bailiba, the general of the Junshui Battalion, and Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su.
On the Yanling front, there is no real commander so far, and Chen Shi, the former military lieutenant of Yanling, was only temporarily acting as a commander, and his name is not right. Moreover, even Chen Shi himself does not expect to become the coach of the front line.
At present, the only ones who are most qualified to lead tens of thousands of Wei soldiers on the front line are these two who are the focus of everyone's attention.
But the question is, who will do the job of manager?
In terms of identity, Bailiba used to be the sect guard of Wei Tianzi, and his henchman humerus. And Zhao Hongrun is the eighth son of Wei Tianzi, the dignified king of Su; In terms of qualifications, Baili Ba is the general of the fifth battalion of the Junshui Battalion, and Zhao Hongrun has just led a shocking victory, destroying the 60,000 vanguard army of Chu in one go.
It is no exaggeration to say that both of these two are fully qualified to shoulder the role of previous manager, but the question is, when these two meet, who is the main and who is the secondary?
The five battalion generals of the Junshui battalion, Cao Jue, Gong Yuan, Wu Ben, Yu Chun, and Li Qi, as well as the military lieutenants Chen Shi, Wang Shu, Ma Zhang, and Zongwei Shen Yu, these nine people looked at Bailiba, and then looked at Zhao Hongrun, and no one spoke rashly.
As the focus of the eyes of these nine people, Bailiba and Zhao Hongrun also looked at each other and did not speak.
"Hundred miles...... The father's former Zongwei, the humerus confidant. He...... What does this mean?'
Zhao Hongrun's eyes flashed with confusion and puzzlement when he looked at Bailiba, he didn't understand why Bailiba wanted to make this question clear at this time.
Is it to seize power?
Zhao Hongrun couldn't understand.
However, in fact, Bailiba's move was just a whim, and if it hadn't been for his guards who vaguely told him, 'King Su doesn't have enough respect for the general', he wouldn't have picked it out at all.
However, since the guards around him have already said this, Bailiba has to pay attention to this issue.
Baili Ba is in the prime of life after all, not only has he lived more than 20 years longer than Zhao Hongrun, but he has also been in charge of the military for more than 10 years, he can see that although Zhao Hongrun has no intention of fighting with him for power, but in fact, His Royal Highness King Su is by no means a person who can be easily swayed by others.
In the scene on the bank of the Yanshui River just a few hours ago, it was clear that the relationship between the two was quite close and tacit, but because of the disagreement on the handling of the Chu army's prisoners of war, His Royal Highness King Su, who was young but persistent, refused to back down a single step.
Yes, how could His Royal Highness King Su back down, because even the current Emperor of Great Wei did not make this His Royal Highness back down, let alone his hundred miles.
In this way, it will lead to a hidden danger: if you don't decide as soon as possible who will be the main and who will be the auxiliary, then who should you listen to when you encounter such a controversial issue in the future?
If the two of them are in dispute, then will this battle still be fought?
Thinking of these possible things, Bailiba decided to solve the problem first.
Although Bailiba himself was confident that he could lead the generals on the front line to regain the lost territory and drive out the Chu army that had invaded the territory of Great Wei, on the other hand, he was not unable to delegate power to Zhao Hongrun, after all, the young Royal Highness King Su's plan to lure and annihilate the 60,000 vanguard army of Chu in one fell swoop was indeed beautiful.
Of course, he is willing to return to Ken, but in order to hand over the command, Bailiba must test His Royal Highness King Su to see if this son has the courage and courage.
After all, being smart and able to come up with strategies to defeat the enemy is not enough to become the commander of an army, at best he is just a military advisor, a strategist, and a staff member.
Because of this, Bailiba did not rush to sit on the main seat in the tent, but looked at Zhao Hongrun's attitude, if this son did not have the courage to sit in that position at the risk of resenting him under his coercion, and gave up that seat, then, Bailiba would not give up the general right to speak in this battle.
"He'...... Are you forcing me to take a stand?'
Zhao Hongrun's eyes were filled with more and more doubts when he looked at Bailiba.
Frowning and thinking for a moment, Zhao Hongrun asked tentatively, "General, this position ...... Do you sit down, or will the king sit down? ”
He threw the ball back to Bailiba.
Unexpectedly, Baili Ba didn't pick up the stubble at all, and said with a smile: "Anyone can sit in this position, of course, Your Highness, you can also sit ......."
"So he wants to give me power?"
Zhao Hongrun was stunned when he heard this, and was about to speak, but he saw Baili Ba suppressing his voice, and added inexplicably: "However, Your Highness, you ...... Are you really going to sit? ”
As he spoke, he squinted, not only staring at Zhao Hongrun's eyes becoming sharper and sharper, but also invisibly exuding an inexplicable pressure.
The Junshui battalion is in charge of 25,000 soldiers and soldiers, and the general's coercion!
『……』
Zhao Hongrun pursed his lips.
At this time, he felt as if he was the prey targeted by a falcon, and his nerves involuntarily tensed.
And under this coercion, Shen Yu, the sect guard beside Zhao Hongrun, was even more nervous, and subconsciously touched the blade on his waist.
"This ...... It's going to be bad!'
Seeing this, Wu Wei Chen Shi, Wang Shu, and Ma Zhang's faces changed slightly, and they subconsciously looked at the five battalion generals of the Junshui Battalion, for fear that they would be stimulated by Zong Wei Shen Yu's actions and show hostility.
To their surprise, the five battalion generals of the Junshui Battalion crossed their arms and watched this scene as if they were watching a good show, as if they didn't see Zongwei Shen Yu holding down the hilt of the saber at his waist with both hands due to nervousness.
There was silence in the tent for a long time, and suddenly, Zhao Hongrun smiled toothily: "That is the case, then the king is not welcome!" ”
With that, he took a few steps forward calmly under the dumb gaze of Bailiba, and sat down on the handsome seat in the tent.
"Really...... Really sitting?'
The five battalion generals of the Junshui Battalion looked at Zhao Hongrun with wide eyes and stunned.
"He'...... Your Highness, has he really sat down?'
Wu Wei Chen Shi, Wang Shu, and Ma Zhang looked nervously at the face of the general of the Junshui Battalion.
As they could see, Bailiba's face had completely gloomy, and a pair of tiger eyes stared coldly at Zhao Hongrun, who was sitting on the main seat.
That kind of look, even Chen Shi, Wang Shu, and Ma Zhang, who were watching from the sidelines, felt frightened, and secretly thought in their hearts: Your Highness, Your Highness, please hurry up and return that position to this general...... It's going to be bad if it goes on like this.
At this time, suddenly Baili Ba raised his head and burst into a hearty laugh: "Hehehe, hahahaha-"
Before the other people in the tent could react, the five battalion generals of the Junshui Battalion also pointed to their own generals and laughed.
"Hahaha, lost and lost."
"General, it seems that your deterrent power is insufficient......"
"It's a relationship where the eyes aren't fierce enough, right? I still think Cao Jue's eyes are fierce......"
"Why do I have a fierce look in my eyes? If you want to talk about the eyes, it should be Gong Yuan, which is not only fierce but also ruthless......"
"Cao Jue, I think you just owe a beating!"
"Come on, come on, I'm afraid you won't make it?"
"Want to play one-on-one? Add me one! ”
"Wu Ben, don't make a mess......"
Seeing the generals of the fifth battalion of the Junshui Battalion making a mess, Chen Shi, Ma Zhang, and Wang Shu looked at each other, and they couldn't understand what was going on at all.
In their incredulous gaze, the gaze of the great general Baili Bao had already returned to his usual appearance, and he took the initiative to walk to the chief on the left side with a smile, sat upright, and bowed his head slightly towards Zhao Hongrun on the main seat in good faith.
This scene, even Zhao Hongrun was very surprised, and Zongwei Shen Yu was already stunned, his hands were still pressed on the sword at his waist, looking at this scene dumbfounded.
"Uncle Baili...... He's testing me?'
Zhao Hongrun looked at Bailiba with a complicated expression, and now, if he still can't see Bailiba's intentions, then he will really be ashamed of others' evaluation of his intelligence.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little afraid of his decision.
"If we choose to back down, I'm afraid that this uncle's great general will no longer have any choice, right?"
Zhao Hongrun thought silently.
Indeed, if Zhao Hongrun gave up the position of "master" under the coercion of Bailiba's gaze, it meant that he could only passively assist Bailiba in the position of "auxiliary".
He himself decided the role he played in this war.
And now, he Zhao Hongrun chose the "Lord", which means that he can play the role of the commander in this war, commanding more than 10,000 Yanling soldiers and 25,000 Wei soldiers of the Junshui Battalion, including the general Bailiba, who will also obey his dispatch and assist him.
Just now, Bailiba bowed his head slightly towards Zhao Hongrun kindly after taking his seat, which represented this message.
"Okay, okay, don't make a fuss, take a seat, it's time to discuss big things."
It is undeniable that Bailiba is a heroic man who can afford to put it down, and he didn't take this matter to heart at all, clapping his palms and signaling the few people who were still standing stupidly in the tent to take a seat.
So, everyone in the tent sat down in order according to their rank, except for Zongwei Shen Yu, who embarrassedly retracted the hand that was pressed on his waist, walked to Zhao Hongrun with his head down and stood beside him, his eyes dodged and he didn't dare to look at Bailiba.
Obviously, he was also aware of his gaffe.
Or rather, inexperience.
After all, none of the five battalion generals in the Junshui battalion showed hostility, only he, Shen Yu, was so frightened by the might of Baili Ba that he subconsciously held his weapon.
Don't think it's bravery, but it's actually a sign of cowardice.
"Gap...... Is it that big?'
Shen Yu secretly looked at Baili Bao with an incredulous expression, and there was really something bad in his heart.
After all, this great general, who used to be the general step by step from Zong Wei, is his predecessor.
Baili Bao also seemed to notice Shen Yu, who had an ugly face, nodded at him kindly, and then said with a straight face: "Okay, Cao Jue, let's report on the current situation of our army first." ”
"Yes!" Cao Jue, the general of the Junshui Battalion, stood up in response, but the direction of the fist salute was towards Zhao Hongrun on the main seat.
Because at this moment, the priority of this front-line Wei army has been divided.
Although no one had mentioned anything about the manager, the scene had already made everyone in the tent realize one thing.
This army is currently respected by Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su!
