Chapter 313: Designated Substitute Army, Darkness Chen Cang (I)
At this moment, the generals of Dingxi Pass gathered together and held a regular meeting, waiting for Wang Xianzhi to arrange tasks and discuss measures to deal with the enemy.
Wang Xianzhi saw that the representatives of the princes from all walks of life had arrived, coughed dryly, and said to the soldiers outside the tent: "This time I want to discuss the military aircraft with the generals, and I can't leak the slightest bit of information." Remove all the people within a mile of this big tent for me, and no one will come near it. Violators, behead! ”
"Yes, General!"
The soldiers received the military order and acted quickly, cleaning up the idle people, etc., expelling other soldiers from approaching, and preventing spies from eavesdropping.
At the same time, Wang Xianzhi ordered that some of the other lieutenants in the big tent should be temporarily evacuated, leaving only the real representatives of the princes and generals.
Suddenly, the big tent was reduced from forty or fifty people to only ten people in an instant.
These ten people, each representing the force behind themselves, are equivalent to the will of the lords of the imperial capital.
Now when these people saw Wang Xianzhi come out with such a solemn posture, they were all in a state of mind and did not dare to speak up.
They all knew that what Wang Xianzhi was going to say must be very important, and it was related to the outcome of the battle.
After Wang Xianzhi saw that all the preparations were in order, he took out a letter from his bosom, "Generals, this is a secret letter sent by Lord Wang Mang, the supreme commander of our three armies and the general of Wuhou, who sent it urgently for eight hundred miles. In this letter, there is a major event of the military aircraft that he has already scheduled. Now I'm going to talk to you about some of the circumstances of this matter. ”
"Oh? Lord Wang's secret letter? ”
The generals' faces moved, and they all focused on the letter, wanting to know what was written in the letter and what the big arrangements were.
They didn't believe that the things that Wang Mang sent to send people for 800 miles would be some useless common words.
At the same time, they all knew that Wang Mang had arrived in Pingliang County, and in a day or two, they would be able to arrive here smoothly. Therefore, they unanimously agreed that since Wang Mang was about to arrive, he should not send any secret letters. He could have waited two days for him to come in person and then hold a meeting to discuss important matters.
Wang Xianzhi was very satisfied when he saw that everyone was showing concern, "Generals, since I came to Dingxi County, I have temporarily commanded the three armies on behalf of Lord Wang. Although it did not make any achievements, it also successfully held the pass and temporarily blocked the offensive of the Xiongnu army. Of course, there are also generals who arrived in time to help.
Originally, according to the normal situation, we successfully held the pass, which can be regarded as a great achievement. But Lord Wang was not satisfied, he thought that we did not do well enough, did not show the momentum that our Han Dynasty should have, and did not really force back the enemy ....... ”
Wang Xianzhi is talking at length, so he won't talk about the point. Hearing this, the generals' brows furrowed and wrinkled, and their hearts itched.
At that moment, Wei Xianming, the representative sent by the Wei family, couldn't listen to it anymore and was very angry.
"General Wang, don't sell Guanzi, tell me what the commander-in-chief has arranged? What's the plan? But I can make it clear at once. ”
"Hehe, General Wei, you're too anxious." Wang Xianzhi chuckled, then took out the gold seal of General Zhenxi from his arms and put it on the table in front of him.
This golden seal represents the authority of the second commander of the three armies of the Han Dynasty, except for Wang Mang, all the generals present must obey the orders of the person holding this golden seal, and no one can resist. Because this is the consensus reached by the heads of the major families, even if Wei Gonghan comes in person, he can't resist, and he must obey orders.
"General Wang, what are you?"
The crowd was shocked, not knowing what the king meant by this.
Wang Xianzhi swept his gaze over everyone one by one, his eyes were full of fierceness and majesty.
Seeing the end, he set his eyes on the representatives of the Zhuzhou faction and stared at them for a long time.
"Generals, I can't leak all the specific contents of Lord Wang's secret letter, so as not to affect the overall situation. I will now follow the instructions of Lord Wang and arrange the tasks.
Lord Wang said, "Let me hand over the golden seal for the time being and leave this place." Also, Lord Wang won't be coming over for a few days, because he has more important things to do. ”
"What, you're going to get out of here for a while? Lord Wang is not here either? Why is that? Wang Xianzhi, what do you mean? Do you want to give up Gansu and return to Liaoning? One of the commanders shouted.
"No, no, no, Lord Wang and I are not trying to give up Gansu, but we really have more important things to do, and we must leave here temporarily."
Wang Xianzhi explained: "The reason why Lord Wang did not deliberately hide the itinerary this time is that it is a suspicious plan to confuse the Huns. If what I expected, Lord Wang should have changed his itinerary and gone to that place by now, right?
Of course, this news must not be spread to the outside world, in case the enemy army is prepared. Also, although we know in our hearts that Lord Wang will not come for the time being, we must make preparations for Lord Wang's imminent arrival. Even after two or three days, we have to tell the whole army that Lord Wang is coming. At the same time, I will leave here later and secretly go to another place.
Again, this news cannot be disseminated, and only those of us present here should know about it. If anyone here spreads the word and affects the plan of Lord Wang, so that the final plan to exterminate the Huns fails, then this sin will be borne by the leaker, and the forces behind the leaker will be jointly exterminated by the major families.
I can tell you very responsibly that as long as everyone strictly abides by the military orders and does not leak the slightest rumor, then we will definitely be able to inflict heavy losses on the Huns this time, regain the lost territory, and win the hearts of the people. When that time comes, the families you represent will be able to attain supreme glory and supreme military exploits. ”
When everyone heard this, their hearts were moved.
"General Wang, you mean, you mean that the Commander-in-Chief is arranging an earth-shattering plan? Can this plan inflict heavy damage on the Xiongnu coalition forces? Can you regain lost ground? And we here, just a suspicious soldier? Just a bait? Is Lord Wang using our army of two or three hundred thousand as bait? ”
"Yes, that's understandable."
Wang Xianzhi said: "Lord Wang is far-sighted, planning for eternity, and strategizing. This time, we must teach the Huns a lesson that they will never forget.
In the past ten days, the Huns have been attacking the city day and night to provoke, we are hindered by the lack of strength, can only passively defend, can not take the initiative to kill, presumably everyone is uncomfortable. Now that the opportunity has come, we can let out a sulk in our hearts and let the Huns know how powerful we are. ”
"General Wang, if you leave here, who will be in charge of the troops?"
The representatives sent by the major families in Yangzhou asked: "There is no problem with asking us to keep the news." We can do a good job of creating a movement where Lord Wang is coming. Even in the case of your departure, we can not reveal the slightest circumstance, and the outsiders do not know any of the circumstances. However, the commanders of the three armies are indispensable, I wonder what arrangements do you have for this matter, general? ”
