Chapter 19: The Pledge to Fight

The family members of the Governor's Mansion walked quickly to the hall and saluted Liu Ting: "Your Excellency the Governor has invited General Liu to meet in his study!" After speaking, he nodded to Ye Xiaotian and said, "Wait for a while with Lao Ye's command!" ”

Ye Xiaotian hurriedly said: "It should be so, it should be so!" It's nothing to wait for a while, General Liu's matter is important, General Liu, please! ”

Liu Ting nodded, walked to the door, and suddenly stopped at the door, and then looked back at Ye Xiaotian deeply, and then left proudly.

Liu Ting arrived in front of the study, and his family raised his voice: "Master, General Liu has arrived!" He said to Liu Tingyan: "Lord Commander, please!" ”

Liu Tingju stepped into the study, and saw Li Hualong standing up with a smile and looking at him.

Liu Ting hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Your Excellency Liu Ting, I have seen the Governor!" ”

"You don't have to be polite, come, sit down, watch tea!"

Li Hualong politely beckoned Liu Ting to take a seat, and said slowly: "The province has come to see the governor, but what's the matter?" ”

Liu Ting hesitated for a moment, and the ghost envoy said: "More than 200,000 troops have been gathered in Chongqing, morale is high, sharp like a rainbow, at this time, it is time to go all out, but the governor is in the middle of the plan, and he has never seen the soldiers pointing to Banzhou, and the general is a little puzzled, so ...... Take the liberty of asking for advice! ”

Liu Ting originally wanted to ask about the appearance of Jinyiwei around his house, and wanted to find out the court's attitude towards him, but he didn't want to come to the end, so he actually said such a thing.

Li Hualong listened to his words, his face was sad, he sighed long, and said, "Why don't you understand the truth of the speed of soldiers, but ...... Lack of a commander-in-chief! ”

The commander-in-chief he is talking about literally means the commander-in-chief military, but in fact he refers to the commander-in-chief. The same is the chief officer. The rank and position are also different, for example, the general soldier of the town guard, the general soldier of the assistant guard, and the general soldier of the sub-guard, the gap between them is very large.

Li Hualong said: "Wan Li is old, and he is handsome and lacking in energy. Earlier, he had begged for the bones of the imperial court, and now he wanted to be the commander-in-chief. I'm afraid he can't afford it, and the governor can't rest assured. Qu is all over the rest of the generals, and the only one this governor likes is you, the general! ”

Liu Ting Huoran raised his head and looked at Li Hualong. Li Hualong hesitated: "It's just that General, you just came back from North Korea, and you haven't rested for a moment, and then put the burden on your shoulders, this governor can't help it!" ”

At this time. It was time for Liu Ting to express his position, but Liu Ting fell into silence, and Li Hualong secretly became nervous, for fear that he would have a tendon, so he still flatly refused. This is the commander-in-chief of the three armies, if he is unwilling, Li Hualong really doesn't dare to force this task to him.

Liu Ting thought back on his interactions with Yang Yinglong, and then thought about the current situation. Finally, he let out a long breath and abruptly got up. Xiang Li Hualong hugged his fist heavily, and said in a deep voice: "Thanks to the value of the governor, the last general is willing to be the commander-in-chief and crusade against Yang Shun!" ”

Li Hualong was overjoyed, immediately stood up, and said happily: "I still remember." The first battle of the general's fame was to attack the nine wires and capture its leader. A certain general will break the sea dragon tun again and capture Yang Yinglong alive. Achieve immortal fame! ”

Liu Ting remembered his previous selfish sway, and said ashamedly: "The last general is worthy of the sky, worthy of the earth, worthy of others, and worthy of the heart, enough!" ”

Li Hualong stepped forward, held his hand, shook it vigorously, and said with a smile: "If you can do these four well, you will be a husband!" ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

"Drumming Gathering!"

As soon as Li Hualong gave the order, the big drum outside the tent of the Chinese army rumbled loudly. The generals of all walks of life had already put on their helmets and armor, heard the drums, and immediately galloped out of the town and rushed to the Chinese army.

The neighing of war horses, the hunting of battle flags, and the temporary use of the entire Chongqing city as a school field were all of a sudden solemn and silent, full of murderous atmosphere. Lightly armed and fast, hundreds of majestic and fierce guards surrounded Liu Ting, who was dressed in military uniform, galloped to Yuanmen and dismounted.

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves was like a shower, and the generals from all walks of life arrived one after another, and when they saw Liu Ting, they had no time to make a noise, and everyone looked solemn and went straight to the big tent of the Chinese army.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Li Hualong, Wan Zhen, the governor of the civil officials, and the general soldiers of the military generals, stood side by side, and Li Hualong shouted in a deep voice: "The generals have listened, and the Chinese army tent has been lit and raised." ”

"Woo~~~"

The horn sounded, and dozens of generals put on their helmets and strode in, and for a while, the armor was sonorous. It seems that the morale of the soldiers and horses on all roads is high and unstoppable, but in fact, they have general soldiers, deputy generals, staff generals, guerrillas, commanders, and toasts, and the road is also a hodgepodge of other provinces in this province.

The army is especially interested in prestige and qualifications, you are not qualified enough, even if you are given the handsome seal, you will not be able to mobilize the three armies, even if he reluctantly obeys his fate, procrastination and disobedience, in the rapidly changing battlefield, it is also a very fatal thing.

This is also the reason why Li Hualong must find a general who can be convinced by all kinds of generals before he is willing to send troops. If the troops are sent in a hurry, they will inevitably be defeated, and it is better to wait for some time, even if it will waste some money and food, and lose some sharpness.

The generals in the big tent of the Chinese army were like a forest of guns, but there was silence, only the deep voice of the middle officer echoed in the big tent.

"Please Shang Fangjian!" The sword of the Son of Heaven, which can be arbitrary on the spot, cut first and then played, was wrapped in yellow silk, and was held high into the big tent and offered on the handsome case, and the atmosphere in the tent suddenly became more solemn.

The Chinese military officer told the announcement: "The Governor holds the sword of Shang Fang, presides over the overall situation of the rebellion, and sits in Chongqing." The governor of Guizhou sat in Guiyang, and the governor of Muguang moved to Yuanjiang to coordinate the rebellion. The army of our imperial court was divided into eight routes, and Liu Ting, deputy chief soldier of Sichuan, led the whole army to control the generals! ”

"Liu Ting, out of the ranks!"

"The last general!"

Liu Ting strode out of the ranks, clenched his fists and stood solemnly, Li Hualong said: "General Wan Cheng is old, has the intention to kill the enemy, and has no power to serve the country. Therefore, I recommend you to take the position of commander-in-chief, control the three armies, and crusade against Yang Rebellious! May the general go here to kill the generals and capture the flag, and the horse will be successful! ”

Wan Jun held his general army seal with both hands and walked solemnly towards Liu Ting.

Liu Ting knelt down on one knee, his hands were raised high, and the heavy general of the general army fell into his palm, and Liu Ting immediately said in a loud voice: "The last general takes the order!" ”

Li Hualong and Wan Cheng divided left and right, and let the handsome case go. said: "Please Commander Liu to deploy military affairs!" ”

At this time, it was not the time to be polite, Liu Ting held the handsome seal, strode to the back of the handsome case, put the handsome seal first, glanced at the generals in the tent, and pulled out an arrow. He said loudly: "The chief soldier and horse are out of the ranks!" ”

"The last general!"

"This commander ordered you to lead the officers and soldiers of the department, go out of Nanchuan, and attack Bozhou!"

"The last general obeys!"

Ma Liying stepped forward to take the arrow, and strode back to stand solemnly, of course he was happy and convinced of Liu Dadao.

Liu Ting ordered another arrow and shouted: "Chief soldier Wu Guang is out of the ranks!" ”

"The last general!"

"This commander ordered you to lead the officers and soldiers of the department to go out of Hejiang and cut down Bozhou!"

"The last general obeys!"

"Deputy Chief Soldier Cao Xibin is out of the ranks!"

……

Liu Ting had prepared early and ordered them one by one. In an orderly manner, the deputy general soldier Cao Xibin went out of Yongning, the chief soldier Tong Wuzhen went out of Wujiang, Zhu Heling went out of Shaxi, the general soldier Li Yingxiang went out of Xinglongwei, and the general soldier Chen Xuan came out of Baini, with more than 30,000 soldiers and horses on each road.

Speaking of later, Liu Ting saw Ye Xiaotian standing in the back at a glance. Compared with so many general soldiers, Ye Xiaotian's command was a little smaller. In fact, at this moment, it stands to reason that it is not the turn of a commander to enter the account. However, Ye Xiaotian led 18,000 people, which is equivalent to half of the total army, and the officials are small and their strength is not weak, so they are qualified to enter the account.

Liu Ting has a good impression of Ye Xiaotian, and even said that he is grateful. Although his mind shifted. It was after Kuai Peng's fright, Ma Qiancheng's scolding, and then Ye Xiaotian's praise and sobering up, but he didn't know that these three things were arranged by Ye Xiaotian, and everyone remembered the incident that finally woke him up, who would clearly understand that the previous series of events also played an important role in it.

Liu Ting's eyes warmed. said: "Wo Niu commands Ye Xiaotian to come out!" ”

"The last general!"

"You go out of Qijiang with the general army and serve as the vanguard of the main attack!"

"The last general obeys!"

Ye Xiaotian strode forward to receive the order, Liu Ting smiled slightly, and said: "This handsome gives you a chance, fight for the country, and work hard!" ”

Ye Xiaotian still looked like a super fanatical fan, and said loudly: "I am willing to attach the handsome tail and serve the country loyally!" ”

Liu Ting nodded, watched him retreat from the queue with admiration, flicked the sleeves of his robe, and said in a loud voice: "Chinese army, announce the overall deployment!" ”

As for the specific deployment, although it is still from him, and it is jointly formulated by him, Li Hualong, and Wan Li, it only needs to be announced by the Chinese army.

The Chinese military officer immediately stepped forward to replace Liu Ting and announced the specific military deployment. In fact, according to their own status, ability, and the position of the leader, the generals can roughly know the tasks they will undertake, and what they care about most is who will be in command if Wan Yan is unable to fight.

Now that Liu Dadao is in charge, they ask themselves that no one can be better than Liu Ting, and they sincerely accept the arrangement, and there is no objection.

Next, the judge announced a series of articles on rewards for military merit, and evaluated and summarized the military discipline when soldiers and horses from all walks of life came to assemble in the morning and evening, and when they were stationed in Chongqing Prefecture, and praised those who performed well.

Selecting commanders, appointing generals, deploying, rewarding ......, this has been busy for most of the day, and then it is the announcement of military discipline and military orders, and when the tent is gone, Ye Xiaotian's heels are standing in pain.

Ma Qiancheng was waiting outside the gate early, looking inside, seeing that the generals walked out one after another, and finally Ye Xiaotian, who was staggering, immediately couldn't wait to catch up, and said excitedly: "Big brother, I have a place for the vanguard of your department?" ”

Ye Xiaotian spread his hands and smiled bitterly: "Thanks to the favor of the Commander-in-Chief, I was chosen to be his pioneer, how can the pioneer appoint another pioneer?" ”

Ma Qiancheng's face immediately collapsed when he heard this, and Ye Xiaotian hurriedly comforted: "Don't be discouraged, we just heard the deployment of the Chinese army, you should go out of Nanchuan with the chief soldier Ma Kongying, and attack the front line of Dengkan, you are also a pioneer and make contributions, are you afraid that you will lose your chance?" ”

Ma Qiancheng said listlessly: "It's a pity that I couldn't fight side by side with my eldest brother." ”

Ye Xiaotian said with a smile: "What is this, then let's compare, who will attack Hailongtun first!" ”

When Ma Qiancheng heard this, he became energetic again, and said, "Okay! Then I'll make a bet with my eldest brother, whoever captures Hailongtun first, and the one who loses will have a treat for wine! ”

Ye Xiaotian agreed, and Ma Qiancheng immediately said goodbye excitedly, and went to discuss how to win the bet with his wife Qin Liangyu. Ye Xiaotian looked at his back, and said secretly in his heart: "What the eldest brother is planning is not as simple as yours, I treat you as a brother, so I don't want to use you as a gunman!" ”
