"It's a shame......"

Wang Duanchen gently stroked the freshly shaved stubble.

"After all, it's still a miscommunication......"

If what the other party said is true, then this Huaidong army, with a crowd of seven or eight thousand, actually rushed to the north to rely on Heyang Bridge Pass, and fought a series of beautiful annihilation battles, which led and pulled away almost half of the reinforcements from the north.

It's a pity that the delay and interruption of information on the battlefield made it very late for Shuai Si to get and confirm the enemy's movements, and then send belated reinforcements, but it was too late.

Not only was he unable to seize the fighter plane in time to defeat the enemy, but he suffered a small setback with the support of the northern army in the city, and finally only captured and occupied two empty fortresses in the north of the city, and talked about the achievements of masturbation.

Therefore, in the face of the Huaidong Army, which almost retreated, it was natural to have all kinds of complex emotions of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Of course, since there is still such an unplanned new force in the forward theater of operations that can be good at fighting, it is better to master and control it at your own pace as much as possible.

Regarding the complicated thoughts and calculations of other people in Shuaisi, Wang Duanchen naturally knew it but didn't know it.

At least compared to the prestigious and notorious Luo Manzi, the wind and roll banner that led the troops this time was just a state governor and soldier envoy; Similar identities and seniorities abound under the banner of the Middle Route Army; This road of arduous battles has been fought, and those who have the order to stick to this place are basically all over the ranks.

And this son has no background and heels, but he is under the command of the Southeast Xing Sihou Road Envoy, a small colonel in the Fujian Central Garrison Army. Nature tempts people to take advantage of it, and they know the future and background of their thoughts and operating space.

Although he naturally dislikes this kind of reluctance and planning, if he can increase the strength of the army under his command, it is not something he can't accept or be happy to see.

However, an order from Yidu in Qingzhou broke many people's expectations and calculations justifiably but lightly.

Although he can also ask Kaifeng to use the second special edict to justifiably allocate this Huaidong army to the account to listen to the order, and then let Huaidong Town go to Jiangning to defend himself and present his case in front of the prison state; But this carte blanche to act cheaply against pre-battle contingencies is a bit of a fuss when used in such a place;

Moreover, the shogunate also gave him a total of three secret edicts, which did not mean that he had to use them all as a well-respected minister, each of which was extraordinarily expensive and important, and also represented a potential judgment of his personal ability and talent; It takes a lot of thought and planning before it can be used in the most critical places, so he didn't think about it at all.

Of course, some people also suggested using some strong means to detain this army and force the army to obey the situation on the grounds of urgency. Wang Duanchen was not without considering the corresponding feasibility and prospects, but in the end, he gave up after thinking about it again and again.

After all, if you really want to do this, how much combat power can the army, which is known as the first in field warfare, exert as scheduled; Moreover, the opponent's possible confrontational attitude and fierce backlash will cause new uncertainties and potential hidden dangers in the huge war situation; The domineering and self-dictatorship of the Huaidong Army under the leadership of Luo Zhenfu have long been famous.

There are not a few friendly troops who have suffered and lost from them; If it is really not handled well or the other party is determined to disobey orders and conflict, no matter who wins or loses, it will be a huge scandal under his leadership and a stain on his military career.

I'm afraid that those who are jealous of him in the court will die of laughter behind their backs.

Therefore, such a variety of weighing the pros and cons, and making a mess for no reason when the situation is still acceptable, and how many unnecessary huge political risks and the truth of giving people a handle are not things that Wang Duanchen wants.

The unscrupulous transgression before the battle is also the suspicion that a high-ranking and professional person like him should try his best to avoid.

But a little regret is a pity, even if he misses this Huaidong, which is not in the plan, what can he do. It's nothing more than the lust of some people, while others suffer from pink eye.

At the same time, Suo Chao, the pioneer officer who was once again promoted to a first-order military position in front of the battle, also came to the camp of the Huaidong Army again, and did the daily work of making friends in disguise.

Therefore, he was able to hold a "cat rice" with Huaidong characteristics and feast on it.

It's called cat rice, and it's actually a simple version of the 3-in-1 ration that's cheap and easy to use, and it's the result of simple cooking.

According to a certain fashion and tradition in Huaidong, the military food and new rations developed by the military industry and logistics departments will be sent to the back house of the Zhenfu Mansion as an additional offering.

And the formula of this ration is said to be the most popular match for Xue Maoye; One of the main ingredients, canned fresh paste, is made with animal offal and fish offal, as well as peanuts and soybeans.

Compared with the most common kind in the military, the salty, astringent and bitter dried sauce and vinegar cubes, I don't know how much better the taste.

Then it is also served with the grilled whale jerky, or a handful of coarse fish floss mixed together, covered with freshly cooked soup slivers or washed with boiling water on fried rice, it is an extraordinarily simple but nutritious meal;

Therefore, it has the reputation and nickname of cat rice.

Suo Chao almost kept destroying two servings of "cat rice" in his mouth, and after enjoying the canned fruits that only officers have, as well as sweets made of small packets of sugar and camellia powder, he touched his stomach with satisfaction and sighed to Li Qiong beside him

"It's a pity that you're all leaving......"

"The food in this Huai army can't be eaten for long...... "......

Canton, Longque Garden,

In the courtyard called the Residence of the Lodge

It seems that because of the excitement of the recent two weddings in succession, the old Lu Gong's body has gradually improved, and he has less time to sleep, and he is more energetic.

I was able to have time to sit in the courtyard, accompanied by my granddaughter Lu Sheng and granddaughter-in-law Tang, who were talking under my knees, and the wrinkles on my face that seemed to be in a good mood and smiling were all relaxed.

It was only after facing his son Lu Shilang that his face became serious.

"What about those Westerners,......

"Neither the Shanghai school nor the land school is a fuel-efficient lamp."

"The mansion let this prime minister take the position, but with the help of their one-party financial management, or a means of accumulation"

"to solve the problem of the lack of financial resources in the country for a while."

"It is because before the wish is achieved, it is natural to support it in all its ways."

"But in the end, in order to win back people's hearts and give an account, I have to borrow people's heads and future."

"Of course, do you think the one who presides over the three envoys will not understand this......

"There is a game and calculation in it, and it is not something that others can participate in."

"If you want to go one step further in your current position, you don't want to go to the household department as others want"

"It's about choosing between the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War......

"Awen......"

At this time, with a view of land affairs, he walked in lightly, and greeted the old man with squinting eyes.

"Ah You came just ......"

Lu Gong stopped his instructions to his son and said to him with a slightly gentle face.

"There are some things that happen to share with you......"

"Don't get too close to them......"

"Whether it's Hue or Zhengdinh,"

"Xinghua faction or reformist,"

"It's not something you can get into with your current status......"

"After all, it's different from what it used to be."

"You are also a vassal now, don't be easily involved by those people."

"In the eyes of the ruling princes, those Qingliu, scholars, and students who only see the truth in words and are insignificant in substance are the same thing,"

"But the inclination and attitude of the incumbent in charge of military affairs is another matter......

"It's the so-called one time and another,"

"You have made friends with them in the past, and it is time to sort them out"

"Of course, I don't want you to completely break off your friendship with them,"

"It's about distinguishing between those who are practical and usable in what they say and do,"

"Which are the vain people who only punish the interests of their tongues and encourage others to coerce others to create a situation for their own gains."

"Although most of them are not liked by the ruling dynasty, they also have some foundation in the corresponding talents and experience."

"If it is placed in the land of Huaidong, it can be a ...... for you and Jiaxuan."

"It is also less likely to commit the taboos of those in power in the DPRK and China."

"The grandson saved ......"

Lu Wuguan was a little convinced.

"What Aung saw was ......"
