Chapter 310: General Huo Xiao's Ambition (I)
"Master, how do you say this is good?"
Su Yan was completely anxious, although sending Min Shaoqing to lead the troops to the expedition this time was "expected by all", he also knew that those people supported Min Shaoqing as the commander just to weaken Liu Yu's influence in the army, and there was no room for loss. Originally, the preparations were also sufficient, and everything was in an orderly manner at the beginning of the war, but who knew that the battle situation would turn around overnight.
The question now is whether to save or not. If you want to win this battle, it seems that it is no longer possible.
Min Shaoqing's lone army is in Jinyao City, there are not many soldiers and horses, more than 20,000, and now the entire army of the Great Shun Dynasty is more than this number, if the court does not save it, then Min Shaoqing's 20,000 Chinese army will be exhausted sooner or later until the ammunition and food are exhausted, and the whole army will be wiped out, and the morale of the soldiers on the border of the Shun Dynasty will be difficult to mention in the future. But if you save it, more people will die, and you may not be able to save it, and the impact on morale may be even greater.
The comparison of the military strength of the two countries often affected the situation at the border in the following decades. As the emperor, Su Yan lacked the courage to make a final decision, and he was afraid that he would choose the wrong one to leave the national fortunes of the Great Shun Dynasty.
"The Chinese army is outside, and it must be saved." Liu Yu came to a conclusion, "The key is who to save!" ”
At the time of the national disaster, everyone put aside their prejudices, and everyone's eyes fell on Liu Yu. The meaning is obvious, there is no one else on this errand but you.
"Ahem!" Liu Yu coughed twice and said, "If you say that you are strategizing, I am not talented, and I still have some ability." As for charging into battle......"
"General Shaowu?"
Yuan Bolang's exit, everyone immediately thought of General Huo Xiao, who was the first to drill into the city. He is not qualified to be a marshal, and no one is more suitable than him to be a pioneer.
It's a pity that Huo Yi was stuffed into the "lecture hall" after being crowned as a young general. is under the influence of the Tao of Confucius and Mencius. Prepare to study the strengths of each art of war.
When the pioneer saves people's set. The coach must also be decided, although Min Shaoqing is now the handsome, but now the handsome is outside, and someone in the rear must also support the overall situation, and this person is none other than Liu Yu. Su Yan took Liu Yu's hand and said, "Master, it's all up to you!" ”
This meaning is obvious, now that the border army is in the hands of Liu Yu, it is something that Min Shaoqing and Yuan Bolang did not want to see. Now it has to happen. Liu Yu took over the border army, which means that the military power in the last place in the world also fell into his hands.
Yuan Bolang saw that the matter was irreparable, and asked Liu Yudao: "Marquis Wuyi, how many soldiers and horses are you going to lead to the north this time?" ”
Liu Yu didn't think about it, and said, "Four thousand new troops." ”
Liu Yu's requirements are not high, and now there are indeed no other troops around Chang'an City, if the garrison troops are transferred, Chang'an City is empty, and now the vassal kings are ready to move. It's not a wise move. Liu Yu wanted to bring 4,000 new troops, that is, the enhanced version of the Sixth Route Guerrilla Force that he had once gone south to Jiangyou. It's enough for Liu Yu.
"Then I will issue a holy decree and let the master lead the troops to the battle."
Liu Yu said that he was going to ask people to prepare paper and pencils, and Liu Yu said: "Don't worry, the minister still needs to order a few generals." ”
Others thought that Liu Yu would definitely take Qi Fang Zhang Wuzhu and those elite soldiers and fierce generals under him this time, but who knew that Liu Yu would ask for Sui Yi and Li Mi when he opened his mouth. Yuan Bolang frowned and said, "Why did Marquis Wu Yi take these two people to the battlefield? They don't have any real combat experience! ”
Although Li Mi is now in charge of the Dongshui battalion, after all, he is only a general of the guards, and he belongs to the kind of soldiers on paper, Liu Yu does not take Qi Fang Zhang Wuzhu, and he has to take the two who have never been to the battlefield, which makes Yuan Bolang and others very incomprehensible.
But Liu Yu thought very clearly, now Qi Fang and Zhang Wuzhu, the two generals who govern the army, must not leave Chang'an City, on the one hand, it is related to the stability of his power in Chang'an City, and on the other hand, there are other threats from vassal kings in the south. Although Li Mi and Sui Yi's actual combat experience was limited to the battle of Kuishui, as long as they trusted Liu Yue, could put their hearts into their hearts, and listened to his orders, this was enough for Liu Yu.
"What does the emperor think?" Liu Yu asked Su Yan for advice.
At this time, Su Yan still had an idea, what Liu Yu said was what it was, and besides, Sui Yi and Li Mi were not indispensable characters in Chang'an City, so he nodded and agreed: "What does the master want to bring, just say it." ”
This time Liu Yu was not prepared to let Xu Xuanzhu also go to the battlefield, as the general of the female army of the Dashun Dynasty, this time it was against the Turks, and sleeping in the open was secondary, in a deserted place for thousands of miles in the north, it was indeed not suitable for a woman like Xu Xuanzhu to go around, and the home in Chang'an City also needed her to take care of it.
Liu Yue is a general, but he is just some middle- and upper-level generals who are not too famous, most of them are originally from the Royal Forest Army, including Lan Jing, the secretary of the military department, who was once his right-hand man, and this time Lan Jing will accompany Liu Yu as a deputy commander.
The discussion was established, and the emergency was like fighting a fire, and the army had to set off the next day, so it could be said that there was no time to prepare at all. Before nightfall, Liu Yu went to the lecture hall, preparing to see how Huo was doing, and dragged Huo out of it.
The lecture hall was established at the suggestion of Liu Yu, the instructor is some veterans of the military department who like to talk about the army on paper, and the students are the middle and lower-level generals who have made meritorious contributions to pacifying Huaidi, Huo Yi was mixed in it, one is because he is illiterate, and the commander in the army must be literate and be able to deal with people, coupled with his relationship with Liu Yu, many political enemies want him to temporarily leave the barracks and play a role in dividing Liu Yu's power.
The lecture hall is located in the west of the city, and the school of the female officials in the palace is located next door, as soon as they get off school, a bunch of people will climb the trees and walls under the leadership of Huo Yi, and whistle at the trainee female officials next door. Maybe it was because Huo was whistling too loudly, and the female officer next door came directly and splashed a basin of water, and several male soldiers on the tree all jumped off the tree with a smoke.
"Who's that, come here!" Liu Yu shouted at Huo Ill.
Huo Yi saw that it was Liu Yu, smiled on his face, patted the water droplets on his head and ran over, walked over and saluted, and did not look like a soldier at all.
"Hello Commander!" Huo Yi smiled, showing two rows of teeth, and his grinning mouth was almost wider than his face.
Huo looked like a deserter, and he didn't have a straight shape at all. Therefore, those female officials didn't know that this bastard boy was actually a famous general Huo Ill in the dynasty.
"Look at you like this, you're living a good life!"
"Of course." Huo said proudly, "Eat well, sleep well, if you can be so happy every day in the future, you will really be a god and not change." ”
Liu Yu knew before that Huo Ill's several brothers of the opposite sex, the three tigers and the four tigers, were also placed around the lecture hall, and Huo Ill was paid a month, enough to feed hundreds of people, and now there are only four mouths for him and his three younger brothers, and they can't eat it all.
"Do you want to go to war with you?"
Liu Yucai mentioned that the pair of small eyes on Huo Yi's nose suddenly squinted to glared at the boss, stretched out his tongue and licked his lower lip, and he was happy but pretended to hesitate: "If you go, is it any good?" ”
I've learned to be smart. Liu Yuxin said, it's a pity that the problem of joy and anger has not been changed, which is called no city government. (To be continued......)
