552 After the emperor saw the telegram sent by Jiang Kai, he was quite surprised, and was frightened, Hu Hao's artillery unit actually dared to launch an artillery bombardment on Jiang Kai's troops, although it was a warning shelling, but this meaning was too strong, let the emperor know Hu Hao's fiery character, if he didn't agree, then fight!

"What, Hu Hao dared to launch an artillery bombardment on Jiang Kai's troops? This? When Chen Hai heard it, he was also shocked,

The same is true for other people, they all said that they wanted to fight Hu Hao before, but now Hu Hao really dares to fight, which makes them a little caught off guard, they are very powerful, but they are still a little worried about facing such a thing! Fighting with Hu Hao's troops, they really didn't think about it.

"Let's talk about it, do you want to let Jiang Kai's troops retreat? Jiang Kai said very clearly in the telegram just now, if he doesn't retreat, Hu Hao will definitely fight! The Emperor opened his mouth and said,

He hadn't said it yet, in fact, Jiang Kai's troops had retreated, and Jiang Kai had already said it in the telegram, but he still wanted to know what these commanders in front of him would do. The other commanders heard the Emperor's words and looked at each other, but none of them wanted to speak.

"Retreat, Your Majesty, order Jiang Kai's troops to retreat, if you don't retreat, the matter behind may be more serious, retreat now, once we really want to tear our faces, we can do it at any time,

Moreover, Hu Hao's shelling of Jiang Kai's troops is also an excuse, we can use this excuse if we want, but now we haven't decided whether to tear our faces or not, so let Jiang Kai's troops retreat first, in case things expand, it will be troublesome! The fourth earl stood there and said to the emperor.

The Emperor heard this, nodded, and looked at the commanders.

"Let's retreat, but, what the fourth earl said just now is right, Hu Hao is strong, not only we are afraid, but even the coalition forces will be worried, I think, the coalition forces will not let Hu Hao eat their 2 million troops like this, and they will definitely increase our troops in Dongling Kingdom.

Damn, we also have to train the troops, and we may also suffer from what happened to Hu Hao! Mu Zhifu opened his mouth and said,

He also thought about it now, the coalition forces would not let Hu Hao go, once the troops were increased, it would not be good news for all the troops in Dongling Kingdom.

Therefore, it is better to order Jiang Kai's troops to retreat first, Mu Zhifu thought to himself, he can't clean up Hu Hao on his side, and the coalition army can't clean it up, but there are a large number of troops on the coalition side.

"Yes, retreat, Hu Hao naturally has the coalition forces over there to clean up!" Chen Hai also nodded and said.

And when the emperor heard it, he felt very sad in his heart, not to mention the relationship between Hu Hao and this side, Hu Hao is at least a native of Dongling Country, he is still fighting on the front line to protect the people, but these people in front of him, everyone wants Hu Hao to die,

Of course, the emperor also wants Hu Hao to die, but he doesn't want Hu Hao to die at the hands of the coalition army, but wants Hu Hao to die at his own hands, which shows that the imperial power is strong enough, and the troops under his control are enough!

To kill Hu Hao, the emperor does not want to use the hands of the coalition army, but hopes to rely on the strength of his own side, but with these strengths in front of him, no one will think like this, they just hope that Hu Hao can be killed quickly, no matter who is killed.

But they didn't think that if Hu Hao was really killed now, would the Dongling Empire still be able to block the attack of the coalition forces? How long can the Dongling Empire exist? No one thought about these commanders in front of them.

"That's it, send a telegram to Jiang Kai and order him to retreat!" The Emperor crumpled the telegram as he spoke,

Jiang Kai had already said in the telegram that he had ordered the troops to retreat, and now that the emperor had concealed this matter, he didn't want these commanders in front of him to start attacking Jiang Kai, saying that Jiang Kai had withdrawn the troops without authorization.

"Yes!" Chen Hai opened his mouth and said.

"I will go out first to breathe, you guys will be busy first, fourth, walk with me!" The Emperor stood up as he spoke.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!" When the commanders heard this, they all bowed their hands and said,

The Emperor nodded, and left the conference room with the four counts, and when they reached the garden outside, the sun was already very strong outside, and it was almost noon, and now that the rainy season was over, the weather began to continue to dry.

"Fourth, did you see that? These commanders, no one thought about what the empire would do in the future! They just want to kill Hu Hao.

But they don't want to think about it, after killing Hu Hao, the south of the empire can still block the attack of the coalition army? When the time comes, those coalition forces will come from the south, and these commanders, who will be able to stop them? The Emperor walked under the shade of the tree with his hands behind his back, and the Fourth Earl followed behind.

"Hey, several capable generals in the empire, Ma Zhenling, Liang Kuan, and Luo Xin, all went to Hu Hao's side, and Jiang Kai is also fighting outside now, and he doesn't dare to return to the capital, he is afraid of being attacked by these commanders in front of him,

Therefore, the commanders in front of them, they have never fought before, and they have all taken over the position of commander from their fathers, and they may not even know how the troops are trained. Your Majesty, it's not surprising that they behave like this! The Fourth Earl spoke.

"Occupy the pit and don't?" The emperor turned his head to look at the fourth earl behind him and said, the fourth earl nodded!

"How are our royal troops recruited now, and the second child is staring at the training over there, has it begun?" The Emperor spoke.

"The troops have been recruited, but in terms of officers, we are still insufficient, we have transferred a part of the veteran troops from the northeast and the eastern front, according to my understanding of Hu Hao,

Hu Hao's grassroots officers in the army are all veterans, and then they start training, we don't know how to train now, but with veterans, it must be wrong! Some company commanders who participated in the battle, we promoted them to battalion commanders,

The battalion commander is assigned to the regiment commander, and the regiment commander is the division chief of staff, the division commander, etc., at present, my 8 armies have been fully recruited, and those children of the family have also been arranged in the position of chief of staff.

The same is true for the second brother, the other is the Praetorian Guard, my uncle is also staring at it now, according to your order, the Praetorian Guard will be expanded to 15, if all the training is completed, we will have 31 army troops, and the heavy army will be almost 2 million! "The fourth earl stood there and reported to the emperor!

"Continue to recruit, fourth, these people are unreliable, you continue to recruit troops, or 8 armies, but the troops of each army, increase by 50%, the royal army is our foundation,

I don't count on their commanders, have you read the telegram sent by Liu Yuzi in the past few days, it is Liu Yuzi's observation record on Hu Hao's side. After the emperor said to the four counts to continue the conscription, he then asked the four counts.

"I see, I feel quite deeply, Your Majesty!" The fourth earl spoke, but was interrupted by the emperor's raised hand.

"When our brother is here, let's call it big brother, don't Your Majesty, I listen too much outside!" The Emperor spoke!

"Yes, big brother, after reading the analysis report sent by Liu Yuzi, I haven't slept well in the past few days, and sometimes, I can wake up in the middle of the night!" The fourth earl looked at the emperor and said.

"You have it too?" The Emperor looked at the Fourth Earl and said, and the Fourth Earl nodded.

"I'm the same, I've been watching the last live video of my father every night these days, and I've been thinking about why my father said at the end that he regretted not paying attention to the people, not reducing the rights of the family, and not paying attention to Hu Hao and the children of the common people.

I've been wondering, why? Why did my father say that at the end! Do you remember?

My father has always said that let Hu Hao protect the people of the empire, and when Tang Long rebelled, I heard my second brother say that my father had been shouting Hu Hao, and he asked Hu Hao to come to the rescue, and when I followed my father before, my father was also very important to Hu Hao, but he was always intimate.

I just can't understand that my father values Hu Hao so much, Hu Hao should know, why don't you be intimate with your father and not be loyal to Your Majesty!

Could it be that Hu Hao was born rebellious? I don't believe it, his performance in military school was mediocre, but as soon as he went to the battlefield, he began to change as a person, I don't believe that a person who has just entered the army dares to be so bold and dare to disobey the meaning of the first emperor!

So I was thinking, what was it for, what did Hu Hao go through to make such a big change. I then began to analyze Hu Hao's growth experience all the way, and with Liu Yuzi's report, I understood what the first emperor meant by the people.

Hu Hao has the people in his heart, but we don't have it, and the family doesn't have it, everyone ignores the importance of the people, including you and me, but the people are the foundation of the empire, without the people, who will be the soldiers, who will pay the grain? Ay! The Emperor sighed when he said this.

The fourth earl heard it and nodded, in fact, he also found out.

"Today, Hu Hao said to save the people in the east, let's not talk about whether this is the case in the east, let's talk about this motive! If other theater commanders had received such news, would he have sent troops? Will he offend his old superiors? To shell the troops of your old superiors?

They won't, because they don't have a people in their hearts, no! But Hu Hao has, Liu Yuzi said, in Hu Hao's control area, the people almost unconditionally support Hu Hao,

Think about it, unconditional support, the soldiers are not afraid of death, the people are not afraid of death, is it terrible? I and the royal family, as well as the family, what do you want to compete with Hu Hao? The roots are gone! The Emperor said very anxiously.

"Yes, big brother, today they are fighting, no one mentions the people at all, no one has thought about it, what is Hu Hao's motive for sending troops, what is the purpose, they just think, Hu Hao can't send troops, and he doesn't care about the people's lives or deaths!" When the fourth earl heard it, he also nodded with emotion, and he also saw the performance of those generals today. [.]
