Chapter 58: Ouyang Ximing's helplessness
Hearing Ouyang Ximing's words, Chen Yi was stunned for a moment, then bowed down and saluted and said, "My subordinates don't dare!"
"It seems that you don't dare to say it, not that you don't have it?" Ouyang Ximing smiled.
Chen Yi lowered his head and did not speak.
"Sit down. Ouyang Ximing patted the open space beside him and said, "There are no generals and subordinates today, only two old friends, talk about your heart." Nothing to be embarrassed about!"
"Yes!" Chen Yi sat down beside Ouyang Ximing, but he still wanted to speak, "The subordinates don't dare to say." ”
"Forget it, don't dare to say it, I usually govern the army too strictly, but I didn't expect it to scare you like this. Ouyang Ximing sighed slightly.
"The generals have clear rewards and punishments for governing the army, and the soldiers below praise the general's ...... What about benevolence...... "Chen Yi's voice became smaller and smaller when he said this, obviously even he didn't believe it.
"Okay, you're not the piece of sycophant!" Ouyang Ximing smiled and said, "I know in my own heart what it looks like to run the army by myself, so I don't need you to hold me." The soldiers below are probably more angry with me than praised. ”
"The general's rewards and punishments are clear, and the soldiers below are grateful to the general!" Chen Yi hurriedly said.
Ouyang Ximing smiled and said, "For the general, if you can't make a clear distinction between rewards and punishments, then it's better to go home and sell sweet potatoes." ”
Chen Yi was speechless for a while, not knowing what to say.
Ouyang Ximing didn't speak, quietly looking at the half-round moon in the sky and the twinkling stars.
"But...... But there are many generals who have not achieved a clear distinction between rewards and punishments!" Chen Yi thought for a long time before he came up with this reason that was not a reason.
Ouyang Ximing smiled, and didn't take this to heart, he had seen much more of this kind of thing than Chen Yi.
was young and vigorous before, and maybe he would be resentful, but then he could see that this world is like this, what did he Ouyang Ximing do?
At most, it's just that I'm not the same.
"Chen Yi, what are you talking about in this battle?" Ouyang Ximing did not answer Chen Yi's words, but instead asked such a question.
"This ...... The subordinates are stupid and can't guess. Chen Yi lowered his head, although he had also thought about this question, but he didn't have an answer.
"I don't know either!" Ouyang Ximing didn't hide his confusion, he pretended to be Zhizhu in his hands for a long time, and occasionally wanted to be a normal person who couldn't guess anything from ordinary people.
In the barracks, he usually does not smile, because this can show his majesty.
But that's just too tiring.
Who would know that Ouyang Ximing's greatest wish is to be disarmed and returned to the field?
"We should be fighting to defend our homeland and country. Chen Yi said tentatively, after all, this kind of slogan was being said in the barracks.
"Hmph!" Ouyang Ximing smiled bitterly.
Defend the country?
It's okay to protect the family, but who is defending the country? Is it the princes in the court or the people of the world?
I don't understand this, the so-called defending the country will always be just a slogan.
"Forget it, it's not too early, let's go back. Ouyang Ximing stood up, patted the soil on his body, and said with a smile.
“...... Oh. Chen Yi was stunned for a moment, and then followed Ouyang Ximing's footsteps.
......
When he returned to his big tent, Chen Yi kept thinking about this short conversation.
It was the first time he had seen such a Ouyang general, this was a person, not the god of war in his memory.
He also has doubts, he will be confused, and he will feel powerless.
But somehow, Chen Yi always felt that such a General Ouyang was more intimate.
......
The next day.
Su Xiu and the others came to the barracks early in the morning.
"This Miss Su Xiu and Zhao Kang Gongzi will temporarily serve as the members of our army from now on. Their words are my words!"
At a meeting of all officers above the rank of lieutenant, Ouyang Ximing announced the appointment of Su Xiu and Zhao Kang.
"This ......"
Su Xiu and Zhao Kang held high positions in the army as soon as they came, and all the soldiers expressed dissatisfaction.
It's just that Ouyang Ximing is very strict in governing the army, and no one makes trouble under the pressure of his bullets, but he is just unconvinced in his heart.
It's just that the two of them are treated as the gilded Miss Childe, and it's okay to ignore them.
It's just that the order issued by the two of them after that made everyone blow up!
"We plan to withdraw the forces that blockade Xiaobie Mountain!" Su Xiu stepped forward and said with a blank face.
"What?"
"Withdraw the troops blocking Xiaobie Mountain?"
The audience was in an uproar for a while!
Finally, a general with a tiger's back stood up, arched his hand to Su Xiu, and said angrily: "I don't know what Su means by joining the army? Xiaobie Mountain is entrenched in the main force of Shanyue, if the mountain closure is stopped, then the main force in the mountain will be linked with the small group of people outside the mountain, plus Fenglin Province has many mountains and forests, this Shanyue is like a fish in water in it, if we miss this opportunity, we will have no way to seize this group of Shanyue again!"
"Continue to blockade Xiaobie Mountain?" Su Xiu's mouth hooked a contemptuous smile and said, "Are you stupid? The grain road is broken, what do you use to blockade Xiaobie Mountain?" Do you want the soldiers on the front line to eat grass roots and tree bark?"
"We can open up new food routes!" the general argued.
"As a general, you don't know the enemy, you don't know yourself, you don't know the geography, you don't know the sky, have you ever seen the map?" Su Xiu sneered, "Other grain routes are either too far away, or difficult to walk, do you want our soldiers to die in vain?"
"Then we can retake the grain road!"
"Recapture the grain road? That will kill people, and Shanyue is extremely mobile, without a large army, it is impossible to send food out in a stable manner, where do you want to draw troops from?
The man's face was bruised for a while when Su Xiu said, and finally he had to sit down helplessly, what Su Xiu said made sense, although everyone was not convinced, but withdrawing troops was the best choice.
At this time, Chen Yi stood up and said: "Please don't be angry when you join the army, General Luo Ni is just anxious in his heart, so can we only withdraw our troops and watch Shanyue wreaking havoc?"
"Of course not. Su Xiu said, "General Ouyang and we have already made plans. Look. ”
Everyone gathered around the sand table and listened to Su Xiu's narration.
"Shanyue's occupation of our grain route is actually a plan that must be saved by attacking the enemy, and they have concluded that we have no other way to solve this problem except to withdraw our troops and retake the grain route, so General Ouyang concluded that if we recapture the grain route, they will definitely pose a threat to Yuelin City. ”。
"But the main force of our army is in the moon!" someone asked.
"Of course, this army must be a small force of Shanyue, but the Shanyue people are good at manipulating fierce beasts, if they are allowed to gather fierce beasts to attack the city, even if they can hold it, our army will definitely have great damage. Because the recapture of the grain route will inevitably require more troops to transport grain, so our army's gains outweigh the losses, so General Ouyang decided to take the plan and withdraw his troops!
