Chapter 129: Pushing the cup and changing the lamp
After Zhu Dadian saw these generals under Yu Xiaotian, he suddenly believed in Yu Xiaotian's recent battle report even more, with such a group of heroic generals, it may not be easy to win the battle, and only such a male soldier can make him feel at ease, so he hurriedly asked how many soldiers Yu Xiaotian still has here now.
Yu Xiaotian immediately replied, he is currently here, there are more than 5,000 soldiers under him, in fact, this is already a bit of a cover-up, the real strength he has at hand is actually more than 6,000, nearly 7,000 or so, but during this time, he has been saying that he has suffered a lot of losses, and he can't sue Zhu Dadian, he actually doesn't have much loss!
Even so, when Zhu Dadian heard it, he was still happy to death, what he was most worried about on the way was that Yu Xiaotian's Fujian soldiers would lose too much, so that they would lose the ability to continue fighting, in his estimation, now Yu Xiaotian has at most 4,000 troops on hand, even if it is good, but he didn't expect Yu Xiaotian to have such a strong strength on hand now, after repeated fierce battles with the rebels.
This time he is much more relieved, which shows that the actual combat power in Yu Xiaotian's hands has not lost too much, and there is still the ability to fight, as long as Yu Xiaotian's subordinates can still fight, then he will not be too afraid of not being able to defeat the rebels.
So Zhu Dadian praised Yu Xiaotian in public, and also encouraged a few other guys to some extent, and generously made a speech, encouraging them to dare to use their lives in the future to eliminate these rebels and thieves for the imperial court.
Now that Zhu Dadian has made his words clear, the current imperial court has completely stopped thinking about appeasing the rebels, so that these generals don't have this dream anymore, these people in the province are thinking too much, and they are unwilling to work hard, the previous officials and troops have been defeated repeatedly, in addition to not cooperating with each other in their own battles, the generals of the various armies also have a trace of luck, thinking that the imperial court will appease these rebels, so they don't need to fight the rebels to the end.
The result is that all the officials and troops have been defeated by the rebels and suffered heavy losses, and now Zhu Dadian has made it clear, the court has not considered the matter of Zhao'an, you guys don't think about it, there is no other choice than fighting, if you don't fight, Lao Tzu wants you to look good.
So Wu Anbang, a group of generals, could only say again and again that they would obey the greetings and never dare to hold back.
Zhu Dadian then inquired about Yu Xiaotian, about the deployment of troops on the rebel side and the situation on the Laizhou City side, and learned about the overall situation here, and then ordered that the next day start a full-scale attack on the rebels.
Zhu Dadian divided these officers and soldiers into two routes, Wu Anbang and Gao Guozhu, the two routes of officers and soldiers, as the West Route Army, responsible for the battle between the west side of the battlefield and the rebels, and the 3,000 Sichuan soldiers led by Wang Hong were temporarily placed under Yu Xiaotian.
And Zhu Dadian led his 3,000 Shandong Fubiao officers and troops, in the center to plan the men and horses on both sides, responsible for scheduling and commanding the battle.
All the generals hurriedly bowed down and said that there was no problem, especially the deputy general Wang Hong, he was the happiest, this time he brought the least soldiers and horses, and the combat effectiveness was the weakest, in addition, they had also been defeated by the rebels, the generals had a fear of the rebels, and they were also the worst equipped.
But their combat ability is still the worst, if it is assigned to Wu Anbang's Shandong soldiers or Zhejiang soldiers, it is estimated that he will be very dangerous, and he will definitely be called as cannon fodder, but after being under Yu Xiaotian's hands, he is much more relieved, Fujian officers and soldiers are the most well-equipped, and they are also the most capable of fighting among their officers and soldiers.
Following Yu Xiaotian, although it may also be used as cannon fodder, at least the danger is lower, this is the reason why it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, if he and Yu Xiaotian have a good relationship, Yu Xiaotian will take care of them to some extent, and they will not end up too miserable.
After the generals received the order, they went down to start preparing, after Wang Hong got out of Zhu Dadian's big tent, he ran to follow Yu Xiaotian's ass in a hurry, and after a lot of flattery, he slapped Yu Xiaotian's ass, eager to kneel down and lick Yu Xiaotian's feet, and his face was full of flattering expressions.
Yu Xiaotian felt a chill in his heart, and almost kicked this guy away, Lao Tzu is not carrying a mountain, why are you so close? Isn't it just counting on Lao Tzu to protect you in the future? You're a big man, don't be like Lao Tzu's maid!
But he still wants to give this face, so he persuaded Wang Hongwen Wenyan, considering that he may be able to use this guy in the future, so he immediately agreed, and after he went back, he allocated a batch of captured armor to Wang Hong for the use of his generals.
This time, Wang Hong was amused, and he thanked him again and again, and he didn't know how much he was respectful to Xiaotian's attitude, so he just opened his mouth to call Yu Xiaotian's eldest brother, this guy is older than Yu Xiaotian, but following Yu Xiaotian's ass, he is like a little brother, which makes people feel a little embarrassed.
Just when Yu Xiaotian was about to leave, Zhu Dadian's personal soldiers ran out and asked Yu Xiaotian to go back, saying that Zhu Dadian asked him to talk to Yu Xiaotian again.
Wang Hong also saw that this Zhu Dadian was blue-eyed for Xiaotian, but if he thought about it carefully, he felt that Zhu Dadian was also from Fujian, and he must have had a friendship with Yu Xiaotian before, and this Fujian soldier was also really powerful, so he couldn't accept it at all.
He also saw that if he wanted to wipe out the rebels this time, it was unlikely that he would count on their Sichuan soldiers, Zhejiang soldiers and Shandong soldiers, mainly to look at the Fujian soldiers under Yu Xiaotian's command, these Fujian officers and soldiers were definitely the main force among them, and they could only sing a supporting role.
Now seeing that Zhu Dadian attaches so much importance to Xiaotian, Wang Hong feels that he has the right person, how can he climb better than Xiaotian this time, not to mention how much cheap, at least don't let Yu Xiaotian use these Sichuan soldiers as cannon fodder, even if the face is not good-looking, it is better than death, if Yu Xiaotian can make contributions, he can follow Yu Xiaotian, and he can share some credit, so after thinking of this, he immediately took his subordinates back to the camp, prepared a gift, and Baba ran to Yu Xiaotian's camp again, which is equivalent to Xiaotian's return.
After Zhu Dadian brought back the big tent to Xiaotian, he put down the shelf of Shangguan who had been holding it, became approachable, walked to the tent, personally connected Xiaotian into the tent, and immediately ordered his subordinates to bring chairs to Yu Xiaotian, let Yu Xiaotian sit down and talk, and at the same time instructed to prepare some wine and food, and have a few drinks with Yu Xiaotian.
Yu Xiaotian pretended to be flattered, thanked him again and again, and pretended to be unable to refuse, so he stayed and chatted with Zhu Dadian.
Zhu Dadian first talked to Yu Xiaotian about the old days, chatted for a while, and then turned the conversation to the current battle situation.
Zhu Dadian asked Yu Xiaotian again, and Yu Xiaotian probably told him about the fight with the rebels during this time, and finally Zhu Dadian asked Yu Xiaotian if he was sure of this counterinsurgency.
Yu Xiaotian said a lot of difficulties, Zhu Dadian frowned when he heard it, and his mood became a lot worse, seeing Zhu Dadian become worried, Yu Xiaotian stopped teasing him, and finally said that as long as Zhu Dadian can fully support him and meet his material supply needs, then he is willing to go all out to level the rebels, not only to relieve the siege of Laizhou, but also to almost guarantee that Ke Dengzhou.
Hearing Yu Xiaotian say this, Zhu Dadian's mood suddenly improved a lot, and he nodded again and again, promising to find ways to meet Yu Xiaotian's needs.
Although Shandong's finances are now very difficult, but this time to quell the turmoil, the imperial court has paid considerable attention, especially allocated a batch of wages to Shandong, and ordered Nanzhili to raise a large number of military rations for this side, which is being transported north through the guò canal, and has now arrived in Jining.
As long as the food arrives, the first one will be given to Yu Xiaotian to ensure the needs of Fujian officers and soldiers, and then to other soldiers and horses, which Zhu Dadian can guarantee, as for the salary, Zhu Dadian is a little embarrassed, he has not much controllable silver at hand, and it is difficult to meet the salary of so many generals at once, if they are all given to Yu Xiaotian, it is difficult to guarantee that the other soldiers will be dissatisfied with this, so they can only secretly try to give Yu Xiaotian some inclination, but it cannot be guaranteed, and all of them will be solved by Yu Xiaotian.
After listening to Zhu Dadian's heartfelt words, Yu Xiaotian did not embarrass Zhu Dadian, and even thanked him, promising that as long as Zhu Dadian could do this, even if there was a temporary shortage of salaries, then he would try his best to overcome it, suppress the arrogant soldiers and generals under him, and prevent them from making trouble, and he would definitely take them and fight to the death.
Seeing that Yu Xiaotian understood the righteousness so well, Zhu Dadian was moved to tears, and he couldn't wait to hold Yu Xiaotian's hand and say a few thanks! At this time, the wine and food were ready, so Zhu Dadian let Yu Xiaotian to the table, and did not let others accompany him, and drank with Yu Xiaotian in a cup.
Yu Xiaotian has not been drunk for so long since he landed, as the commander-in-chief, Yu Jiajun has formulated strict military discipline, and there are no special circumstances in the army, and alcohol is absolutely forbidden to prevent problems, so he himself abides by military discipline, and he has never drunk for such a long time, so that his subordinates have nothing to say.
As the saying goes, people don't suffer from poverty, but they suffer from injustice! Even he, the handsome, doesn't drink, and the generals below naturally don't have a fart, so the military discipline has always been very strict in the Yu family's army.
