Chapter 186: Worship the General and Fight Again
Not far ahead, I saw that there was a circular earthen platform in front of me, the flags were waving in all directions, thousands of soldiers' clothes and armor were clearly listed around, Zhang Sizhu, Liu Quan and others were standing straight under the stage, several Chang generals led their teams, arranged in shifts, and Fang Zhenhai was also standing on the side.
Wei Changfeng was taken aback, he didn't know what Lu Dao was going to do, and hurriedly dismounted, but saw that Bai Qi had already dismounted, strode forward, and walked straight to stand in front of the general of the third team, and actually stood in the position of the general of the third team instead of Wei Changfeng!
"This is ......," Wei Changfeng's head couldn't react for a while.
Fang Zhenhai bowed: "General Dingyuan Wei Changfeng took the stage to pay respects to the general!" ”
Wei Changfeng's head thudred.
It turned out that he was appointed General Dingyuan!
It seems that when he was appointed as General Chang before, Zhu Ling used the excuse of military urgency to suppress this gift of worshipping the general, this time Wei Changfeng led the army to break the alliance of the people and the cautious people, saved the situation, and took risks alone, saving Fang Zhenhai, the credit is incomparable, and Zhu Ling is now in urgent need of Fang Zhenhai's support, so he not only agreed to the appointment of General Dingyuan of Wei Changfeng, but also agreed to go to the altar to worship the general.
"Please Dingyuan General Wei Changfeng come to the stage to pay respects!" Someone on the stage shouted orders.
Wei Changfeng looked up, Fang Zhenhai had already come to the stage at some point, with a solemn expression, waiting for Wei Changfeng.
Wei Changfeng strode up to the stage, Fang Zhenhai didn't ask Wei Changfeng how his body was, he could see that Wei Changfeng's steps were vigorous, and his body turned to the side: "Worship the holy decree first!" ”
Wei Changfeng saw that there was an incense case on the stage, and it was a holy decree on the case, and he knew that the emperor could not come in person, so he replaced the holy decree. Wei Changfeng has finished saluting the holy decree, Fang Zhenhai stood aside, holding the document in his hand, and announced loudly: "General Wei Changfeng of Cha Chang, can fight habitually war, repeatedly performed miraculous feats, fought strong enemies and won great victories, pacified Donghu Duo with his strength, and made outstanding achievements, and specially appointed Wei Changfeng as the general of Dingyuan!" ”
The drums in the audience were loud, the horns were in the sky, and the soldiers cheered loudly, which was earth-shattering.
In the sound of drums, Fang Zhenhai handed the seal of General Dingyuan to Wei Changfeng, and said loudly: "Congratulations to General Wei!" ”
Wei Changfeng looked around, and saw that the spring was strong in the four fields, and there were vigorous soldiers in the near distance, and in the distance, the mountains were full of green leaves. He took a long breath.
He fought against Donghu and repeatedly defeated strong enemies, and today, he finally became the general of Dingyuan. This is not only an honor and a position, but also a responsibility. He will command his subordinates to continue the bloody battle until they are all punished and the rivers and mountains are recovered!
After the drum music was finished, Fang Zhenhai handed over the documents of the military department to Wei Changfeng, who read out the appointments of the other personnel.
This time it can be said that "one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven", because Wei Changfeng has become the general of Dingyuan, and the others have also improved. Bai Qi was promoted to General Chang and commanded the third team, Zhang Sizhu was promoted to a tooth general, and even Zheng Liu was transferred from a fictitious general to a regular position, but he was specifically responsible for the affairs of the crossbow team.
After the reward was completed, Fang Zhenhai immediately recruited all the generals to study the matter of sending troops to attack the Xiongnu.
Zhu Ling's troops are the main force, the unified army of 200,000, has set off from Shuozhou, Ji Lu first captured Ulanqab, and then attacked the desert, and Fang Zhenhai's team is the right side of the troops, after the new troops, the strength has been restored to 100,000, starting from the current Donghu Wangcheng Shuangcheng, across the Songyuan, directly to Xilin Gol, and then with the main force to attack together, directly attack the desert.
Wei Changfeng listened to this plan, and sighed secretly in his heart.
Again. Zhu Shilang's plans are always so magnificent and domineering, but it is difficult to implement them in practice.
If the Xiongnu are comprehensively defeated, the main force should be moved westward, at least in the Hohhot area, or in the Yinchuan area, in order to directly hit the heart of the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu front is vast, the two armies simply cannot fully cover the Xiongnu's activity area, at least there must be another army on the western front.
But now looking at Zhu Ling's method, the position of the main force is eastward, and the distance from the attack point to the expected attack position is only 400 li, and the right army as a countermeasure will have to advance up to 1,600 li to attack Xilin Gol.
Obviously, this plan is a plan for merit, not a plan for defending the country.
Attacking 400 miles with 200,000 people, of course, it is safe, the right army is thousands of miles away, and more than half of its distance is in the Xiongnu activity area, and it is not a response task, but the main attack task, and the main force of the Xiongnu will definitely be attracted by the right army to attack with all its might. The result is: General Zhu regained an area safely in a state of perfection, and he could not travel more than 400 miles, and he could sing triumphantly, while the right army, if it wins, it means that General Zhu has a good leadership, and if it is defeated, it is not effective in helping the war.
From this point of view, General Zhu's ability to fight for merit has really reached a higher level, and he used to fight for merit after the war, but now before the war starts, he has already designed how to fight for merit.
He glanced at the generals and saw that the faces of the generals were not good-looking.
Who can't see such an obvious design? When everyone is stupid?
Fang Zhenhai finished explaining, glanced at Wei Changfeng, and asked, "What does General Wei have to add?" "Now that Wei Changfeng is General Dingyuan and Fang Zhenhai's deputy, Fang Zhenhai naturally wants to ask Wei Changfeng's opinion first.
Wei Changfeng smiled indifferently and said, "The last general just thought that Zhu Shilang seemed to have reversed the main force and the response force. ”
What he means is that in fact, they are the main force now, and that main force is playing a role in responding.
Wei Changfeng's words aroused the hearts of the generals.
"We are going deep into the enemy's territory and marching thousands of miles, and their 200,000 people march 400 miles to attack only one city, how can such an arrangement be reasonable?"
"Isn't it obvious that he is tired of us, and he is here to steal the credit?!"
"The last general has an opinion on this plan!"
For a while, there was a lot of talk in the account, and everyone expressed opposition.
Fang Zhenhai was very indifferent, he only said: "General Zhu has already raised troops ten days ago. ”
The generals fell silent.
Everyone has raised troops, you have to agree to this plan, you have to agree if you don't agree, what else do you say? Obviously, Zhu Ling was afraid of Fang Zhenhai's opposition, so he put Fang Zhenhai together, first raise troops, and then send Ji Lu to plan, if you Fang Zhenhai dare to disagree, it is called resisting the order in front of the enemy, and there is no forgiveness for killing.
"General Fang," Zhang Sizhu couldn't help it, although he was a tooth general, his temperament was straightforward, and he didn't care that so many General Chang were present, and said directly, "You can bear this breath?" ”
Fang Zhenhai's face became serious.
He glanced at the generals and said slowly: "You have to endure it, you have to endure it, and you have to endure it if you can't bear it!" This battle is related to the survival of the country, the life and death of 300,000 soldiers, the safety of hundreds of people, the Han is not the Han of Zhu Shilang, it is the Han of my Han emperor and the people, we fight for the country, the emperor and the people, not for Zhu Shilang, even if the sky is angry, this commander must endure it! ”
