Chapter 136: The Northern Expedition Selects a Commander
For Ge Rong, Wei Kegu is the biggest unstable factor besides Zilong.
Zilong has also been tested for so long, except for Ge Rong's jealousy of his talent, the rest are still quite trusting, and Wei Kegu is different.
If Zilong is a lonely and arrogant lion, then Wei Kegu is a terrible head wolf, although the lion is a little stronger in combat, but the head wolf has appeal.
Moreover, Wei Kegu is a wolf who has taken refuge in the wolf pack collectively, which makes people have to guard against it.
Although, for more than a month, Wei Ke was very cautious, and it was quite in line with Ge Rong's intentions, and before Ge Rong could do it himself, he took down all his team.
Ge Rong was able to carry out his blood exchange operation without any constraints, and the current Dingzhou Army has long been broken up and infiltrated into Ge Rong's original team, and none of them are in high positions and important positions.
This made Ge Rong quite relieved, and for this reason, Ge Rong deliberately did not rush to attack Wei Kegu, and even thought about letting Wei Kegu continue to stay in his battle sequence and serve in the rear.
Note that it is the rear, like Zilong, there will always be a name for a general, but there will never be military power in hand.
However, now that Wei Kegu and Zilong seem to be closer, Ge Rong even suspects that Zilong and Wei Kegu have formed an alliance and reached some ulterior consensus.
I haven't seen any close contact between these two people, have you? Why did Zilong dare to give up the opportunity recommended by others now and give it to Wei Kegu?
Ge Rong's suspicion was so urgent and so strong that he twisted his brows into a ball in the blink of an eye.
Who among the generals can't see Ge Rong's entanglement? Although they were a little weird and unhappy for Zilong in their hearts, no one said it, because at least for now, Ge Rong still attached great importance to Zilong.
Give Zilong enough respect and freedom, give Zilong enough glory and the right to speak, it seems that in addition to military power, Ge Rong has no shying away from Zilong.
It's not how deep their relationship with Zilong is, it's just a symbol, a symbol that they may encounter situations in the future, to put it bluntly, Ge Rong hasn't made them too cold now.
"The person recommended by the Zilong brothers is with Ben Shuai's mind, but Ben Shuai has some different views on the military arrangements of these two people, I don't know if Gao Ao Cao is the marshal, Wei Ke is the general, do the generals think it's okay?"
Wei Kegu still smiled gently, just like his expression when he first heard Zilong recommend him to be the commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army, without any change.
Zilong's expression was also faint, and he was noncommittal about this decision, but he looked at Wei Kegu with a little helplessness in his eyes.
Wei Kegu saw it, but he didn't say that the two of them, at this time, could be regarded as truly reaching some kind of tacit understanding.
However, the generals' expressions were somewhat unnatural.
Among these people, not all of them are Ge Rong's henchmen, and some of them were once under the banner of Po Liuhan Baling and merged with other forces.
For them, Ge Rong's arrangement represents Ge Rong's attitude.
Therefore, some people are happy and some are worried.
"Obey Ge Shuai's orders."
This is everyone's tacit understanding, Ge Rong is still the master of the whole army, and no one will argue with him whether his arrangement is appropriate.
Obviously the most suitable candidate, it must be Zilong, there is no doubt that the generals have seen Zilong's ability to strategize more than once, and some people have seen Zilong and Gao Aocao fight against each other.
Everyone knows who Gao Aocao is, and it may be too much to say that he is brave and unscrupulous, but he will definitely not reach the level of Zilong's civil and military skills.
Gao Aocao himself knows this.
"Ge Shuai, Ao Cao's battle in Dingzhou this time, he has no merit, the position of pioneer, he is not confident to be competent, don't be handsome, I really dare not be ashamed, please make another choice for Ge Shuai."
Ge Rong smiled, this was a question he had thought about a long time ago, and of course there were many reasons for him to convince the generals and Gao Aocao.
"Ao Cao is too modest, in the battle of Dingzhou, you swore to protect the marshal to the death, and did not make the marshal suffer the slightest injury, the position of the pioneer is also won by your strength, and the marshal will never be wrong to look at people, you definitely have the potential to command the three armies, don't shirk."
Gao Aocao is a very stubborn person and disagrees with this.
"Ge Shuai, the Northern Expedition is very important, how can it be a child's play, I have no actual combat experience, if there is a slight mistake, isn't it a trap of 100,000 brothers to death? also put Ge Shuai ......"
Gao Ao Cao was about to continue, but Ge Rong stopped him loudly: "Ao Cao is too worried, Ben Shuai believes in you!" ”
Seeing that this matter seemed to be a foregone conclusion, Gao Ao Cao glanced at Wei Kegu who was smiling and Zilong with a faint expression, and said without hesitation: "Since Ge Shuai has entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, in order not to make Ge Shuai's hard work in vain, Ao Cao asked Ge Shuai for permission, in addition to General Wei Kegu, another supervisor army will be sent to accompany Ao Cao!" ”
Hearing this, Ge Rong's heart suddenly shook, and an inexplicable thought came into his mind, looking at Gao Aocao's serious expression, he always felt a little bad in his heart.
However, he had already shown his trust and support for Gao Aocao before, but now if he goes back on his word, I am afraid that he will no longer have prestige in front of the generals.
"Haha, don't say such a trivial matter, no matter how big the request is, Ben Shuai will meet you."
Forced to smile, Ge Rong's heart tightened, and he glanced at Zilong with slanted eyes, Zilong didn't hear it, and stood there with low eyebrows, always with that faint expression.
Such an expression, in Ge Rong's eyes at this time, was so annoying, it made people itch at the root of their teeth, and sure enough, what he was worried about in his heart still happened.
"Xie Ge Shuai is complete, the last general wants to invite General Zilong to be the supervisor of the army, and the northern expedition with us and others will definitely be able to settle the country in one battle, so that Ge Shuai's good intentions will not be disappointed!"
The corners of Ge Rong's mouth twitched a little, and his eyes changed a few times when he looked at Gao Aocao.
If it weren't for Gao Aocao's loyalty to himself, Ge Rong would have been very sure that Gao Aocao had joined the alliance between Zilong and Wei Kegu at this time.
Looking at the way the generals nodded secretly, Ge Rong suddenly felt that he had become a loner before he had sat on the throne he had longed for.
Why, why did this little-known Dugu Zilong win so many people's hearts in such a short period of time, could it be that he really had any magic that he couldn't do?
However, everything was just Ge Rong's own muttering in his heart, and it was impossible for him to dismiss the promise he had made in public, so he could only clean up his mood and laugh at it.
"Although Ben Shuai really can't bear Zilong leaving, as Ao Cao said, the Northern Expedition is not trivial, and Ben Shuai has no choice but to let Brother Zilong go with you!"
After speaking, he waved his robe sleeves and left the table, and the generals sent him off, and he didn't show it afterwards.
Zilong did not stay in the True King's Palace, which was left behind in Dingzhou and is now occupied by Ge Rong, nor did he go with Wei Kegu Gao Aocao, and he didn't even say thank you to Gao Aocao.
I went back to my small courtyard, packed up some things, and went straight to the outside of Dingzhou City. (To be continued.) )
