Chapter 579: Post-War Issues
After Luo Zenan and Hu Linyi led their troops back to Langshan City, the shape in Langshan City had stabilized, and Huang Xu had already lived in the general's mansion where Li Jingguo was entrenched.
After the two sent the army back to the camp, they went to the general's mansion to see Huang Xu, and they had to tell Huang Xu about the journey.
And when the two of them arrived at the General's Mansion, Huang Xu was holding a closed-door military meeting.
Seeing this, in order to avoid suspicion, they wanted to wait until after the meeting ended before going to meet the emperor, but by chance, they were seen by Wang Xiaoyong, who also came to see Huang Xu, so he pulled the two of them into the meeting together.
And Wang Xiaoyong is the general staff officer appointed by Huang Xu for this expedition to the south.
In fact, the meeting convened by Huang Xu today is of an open nature, and he actively carried forward the style of democracy in later generations, and let everyone speak freely in this very casual form of meeting.
He himself gave such a conference a forward-looking name, the Colloquium.
Yes, there is no specific form of symposium, only a general topic, and then it is to chat at any time, and everyone wants to talk about what they want, he uses this form of meeting to let everyone find an opportunity to pour out their thoughts, and also gives him the opportunity to know the real thoughts in everyone's hearts, because a relaxed atmosphere can make many strict and heavy topics easier.
And when Wang Xiaoyong brought Luo Zenan and the others in, there were already more than ten people sitting inside, and these people were basically the most important generals in the Taiping Army and Huang Xu's cronies.
And Huang Xu saw Luo Zenan and Hu Linyi walking behind Wang Xiaoyong at a glance, he waved his hand happily at the two, and motioned for the two to sit down beside him, but the two didn't expect Huang Xu to let them sit next to him, they were a little uncomfortable, but the holy order was difficult to disobey. They sat down nervously.
When Hu Luo and the others came in, someone was speaking, and obviously the speech was interrupted by the arrival of the two of them, so after the two sat down, Huang Xu let him continue.
And the speaker was Zeng Guoquan.
"Guoquan. You continue. Huang Xu nodded at Zeng Guoquan and said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, now that Langshan has descended, this trip to Yue Bang is already a flat river, there is no danger to defend, the minister is willing to lead the 200,000 light cavalry of the Fifth Army to blitz Hanoi, and the minister promises that within a week, he will go to Hanoi." Zeng Guoquan patted his chest and pleaded.
Between his words. The look is flying, and it looks even more high-spirited and high-spirited.
It's no wonder that they have won battles along the way, and basically have not encountered any special obstacles, and it has only been less than a month, and they have already occupied half of the territory of Yue State. As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot. Now is the time when they are in the right state, as long as they are in a good state, not to mention Hanoi, even the entire Viet State, it can be easily taken down.
Zeng Guoquan has absolute confidence in this.
Of course, he is not alone in this faith. Almost all the important people of the Taiping Army who sat here may have this idea in their hearts.
Tong Guò fought with the Nanyang Army during this period of time, and everyone felt that the Nanyang Army was simply not a heavyweight opponent compared to the Taiping Army.
Although this is a bit arrogant, it is basically true.
And after Zeng Guoquan finished speaking. Huang Xu raised his hand, smiled and motioned for him to sit down, and then just said lightly, he needs to think about it again, and this matter will be decided later.
Zeng Guoquan couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he heard that Huang Xu still had to think about it, but since the emperor's golden mouth was opened, it was inconvenient for him to say more, so he could only sit down sullenly first.
Huang Xu glanced at Zeng Guoquan and smiled lightly, but he didn't say anything, he knew it in his heart.
And after that, he asked the others to continue speaking.
At this time, Wang Xiaoyong stood up, he had something to say.
Huang Xu nodded, motioning for him to speak.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhao has just received a letter from Beijing, in which he mentioned that great progress has been made in the rebellion against the Southern Army, and one of the four major generals under King Aquino I of Nanyang, the one named Octagon, seems to have signs of rebellion, and this person seems to be very dissatisfied with some of Aquino I's behaviors, especially the fact that Aquino trusts Ruan Tianyi and Li Jingguo too much, Octagon's heart is even more resentful, and over time, Octagon's resentment towards Aquino is getting deeper and deeper. He is now like a powder keg, almost igniting at one o'clock, and Mr. Zhao is at this time with him, and solemnly made a promise to him, if he really has the will to resist Aquino, the Taiping army can help, and it is said that for Mr. Zhao's mention, this octagonal is taken by Aquino's might, and he does not dare to make this determination, but since the Taiping army has made a breakthrough in Langshan, this octagonal child seems to have been moved, and he actually took the initiative to get in touch with Mr. Zhao, and the two sides have now talked quite deeply, The only thing lacking was the fire marquis, so Mr. Zhao specially instructed that the army must take Hanoi as much as possible and occupy the entire territory of Yue State, only in this way can the octagonal be further forced to fall to the side of the empire. Wang Xiaoyong finished saying this in one breath, and then waited for Huang Xu to show him.
And Huang Xu couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, he thought that this was definitely a good thing, but he didn't expect Zhao Xiaofeng and the others to make rapid progress, and they actually plotted against the head of the octagonal.
This was a bit of a surprise to him.
And speaking of this octagonal, Huang Xu also knows, according to the data, although this guy is one of the four generals under Aquino, but his background is definitely not simple, his family is the absolute ruler of the Malaysian Peninsula in the South Seas, and his father is the king of Ma Bang, in fact, the strength of this Ma Bang is quite strong, and it can definitely be independent of Nanyang and become a country of its own, but Aquino I In order to win over Ma Bang, on the one hand, he reused the son of Ma Bang Wang's octagon, and on the other hand, he made a heavy promise to Ma Bang to lure him, It is said that as long as Ma Bang is willing to form an alliance, Ma Bang can only be regarded as under the banner of Nanyang State, and Ma Bang can maintain autonomy, and Nanyang State will never interfere in Ma Bang's internal affairs, in addition to this, Nanyang State will also give Ma Bang additional benefits.
To put it bluntly, it is the implementation of the principle of one country, two systems, and the two are only cooperative relations, and the general direction is to be under one banner, but the actual rule is still under its own control.
And, more importantly, the actual power of the Mabang has not diminished. And they can also get a big dividend from Aquino, so it's good for Ma Bang, and Ma Bang is happy not to do it.
And these two can come together, it is nothing more than for a good word, and as for the so-called loyalty. That's almost negligible, which is also an important reason why Zhao Xiaofeng and others chose to attack Octagon.
Of course, if you want to divide and rebel, you can only start from this relationship, and Zhao Xiaofeng and others have also made good use of this relationship, and with the nail of Octagonal by Aquino's side, I am afraid that Aquino I's life will become more and more difficult.
And Huang Xu affirmed the work of Zhao Xiaofeng and others, and asked them to continue to work hard. If there is any update, it is important to get in touch with him as soon as possible.
At the same time, Huang Xu also began to prepare for the continuation of the march to Hanoi.
However, before that, he had to ask Luo Zenan about the situation, these two went to chase Li Jingguo, I don't know what the situation is, this Li Jingguo is an important person. If it can be captured or killed, it will also be a heavy blow to the Nanyang Kingdom.
"General Huro. How's this going? Huang Xu set his eyes on Hu Luo and the others and said with a smile.
I have to say that Huang Xu's smile is quite charming, at least these people under him like to see him laugh, and as long as he laughs, everyone feels warm in their hearts.
And the two of them saw Huang Xu and asked. He stood up neatly after a while, then bowed slightly, and said, "Your Majesty, Li Jingguo is dead." ”
However, when the two talked about the words Li Jingguo was dead. There was a very strange expression on their faces, and it was obvious that the two of them had not recovered from this incident.
Of course, Huang Xu also noticed this.
"Two generals, looking at your expressions, it seems that Li Jingguo's death has touched you a lot, if you don't mind, can you tell me what happened?" Huang Xu asked a little curiously.
He knows Hu Luo and the others, these two have been fighting with him for many years, whether it is loyalty or character, it is definitely the best choice, and the key is that these two people are both determined people, it cannot be said that they have reached the point where Mount Tai collapsed in front of them and their faces did not change, at least, ordinary things can not affect them, and their current expression, it must have happened something extraordinary.
Otherwise, they can't be like this.
And this is the reason why Huang Xu is curious, of course, it is not so much curiosity, but more concern than curiosity, he is worried that what happened will leave a shadow in the hearts of the two, which will affect the future of the two.
When the two saw Huang Xu asking, they couldn't help but glance at each other, and then Hu Linyi nodded at Luo Zenan, so Luo Zenan took a deep breath and told in detail about their pursuit of Li Jingguo and Li Jingguo's death.
And they were originally going to report this matter to Huang Xu, and now it is not bad to take this opportunity to say it.
Luo Zenan's narration was very fast, and he finished the whole thing in just a few minutes, and when he finished talking about it, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, as if he had accomplished something big.
After listening to Luo Zenan's speech, the scene fell into silence for a while, everyone did not speak, but their faces showed surprise.
Obviously, they didn't expect such a thing to happen.
Huang Xu didn't expect it, he was also very surprised, especially Li Jingguo's death, this is indeed a very shocking thing, what kind of person is Li Jingguo, one of the four generals under Aquino I, and one of Aquino's most relied on generals, such a person chose such a way to die, you can imagine what kind of torment he suffered in his heart.
Huang Xu has grown so big, especially after coming to this other world, he is used to seeing life and death, joys and sorrows, and he is even a little numb to this qiē, but when Luo Zenan finished talking about Li Jingguo, his heart was still very touched, and he had to hear of a person like Li Jingguo for the first time.
And it is not strange that Hu Luo and the two have such a appearance.
However, he hoped that the knot in the hearts of Hu Luo and the others could be untied as soon as possible, so as not to bring too much influence and trouble to himself because of this matter.
"Two generals, this matter has passed, since it has passed, let's let it pass, the two generals don't feel uncomfortable because of this matter, to put it bluntly, Li Jingguo just did what he thought should be done." Huang Xu persuaded the two to be humane.
"Yes, thank you for the emperor's concern, and the ministers understand in their hearts." Hu Luo and the others thanked.
After Huang Xu said something of concern, he motioned for the two to sit down, and then he was about to get down to business.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I know what everyone said just now, then, we have to do something big next, and this big thing is just as Mr. Zhao said in the letter, we have to do our best to take Hanoi, so as to occupy the entire Viet Nam State, cause strong psychological pressure on Aquino, and cooperate with Mr. Zhao to launch a rebellion against Octagon." Huang Xu said in conclusion.
It's time to go on the offensive.
When everyone heard this, they were stunned at first, and then they were overjoyed, what they were waiting for was Huang Xu's determination.
"Your Majesty, this battle will be handed over to the minister's third legion, and the minister promises to live up to his holy hopes." Zeng Guoquan bravely begged for battle.
When it comes to attacking Hanoi, no one is more excited than Zeng Guoquan.
"Of course, regarding this battle, it is indispensable for your Third Legion, but, I want to ask, can the Third Legion attack the city?" Huang Xu smiled and asked with interest.
The third army is cavalry, how they attack the city, if it is said that they sneak attack Lao Cai is unexpected, but at this time Hanoi must be in a tight position, how they sneak attack.
Hanoi is a fortified city, and this battle must be a tough battle, so the Third Army alone will not be able to do it.
"This?" Zeng Guoquan touched his head and was speechless.
He really didn't think about it that much.
Huang Xu looked at his embarrassment, couldn't help but point at him with his finger, and said with a smile: "Guoquan, according to me, you are addicted to fighting, but I like it." ”
Huang Xu's words made Zeng Guoquan feel very embarrassed, and at the same time, his heart was even more beautiful.
can be praised by the emperor like this, what more can his husband ask for, even if he hands over his life to Huang Xu.
"Okay, the generals listened to the order, this attack on Hanoi, the 11th Army Corps will be the main attack, the 3rd Army Corps as the second echelon is ready to break into the city at any time, the 4th and 5th Army Corps as the reserve corps will temporarily stay in Lang Son to rest, and I will personally lead the Chinese army to supervise the battle, and give support to the army at any time, I hope that the generals will work together and go down to Hanoi with a drum." Huang Xu ordered.
Huang Xu used the 11th Army as the main attack this time, originally wanting to take Hanoi in one fell swoop.
And the 11th Legion is a fierce firearms legion, I don't know how the defenders of Hanoi will defend it.
And after the generals received the order, they all quickly went back to prepare.
Three days later, the army marched towards Hanoi. (To be continued......)
