Chapter 99: Organizing the Army (3)
Long Yuandongkou was like a river, gushing endlessly, and he talked for more than a quarter of an hour in one breath, and He Dali, Dugu Wenxiao and others were stunned when they heard it.
Long Yuandong has never been a person who likes nonsense, and he said so much today because he has been touched too much in the past few days. First, the battle was repeatedly frustrated, his self-esteem was greatly hit, and secondly, the various innovations shown by the Tianjia Army made him see his own shortcomings!
He Dali couldn't understand what he heard, and he rumbled in his throat for a long time before he exaggerated his expression: "Okay! Well said! I just said what I wanted! Just like I thought! Since you have said it, then we will do the same! If you can't do it now, you can go back and think of a way." At present, our main focus is to recuperate and cultivate!"
Yun Tianjia also praised: "As the saying goes, if you lose your horse, you will know whether it is a blessing, and if you lose your horse, you will be lurking in the place of fortune and misfortune, and you will rely on the blessing of misfortune! Although the Long He army has experienced some setbacks this time, it has also gained a lot of valuable experience, and it is not a good thing to start from the beginning!"
Long Yuandong shook his head and said, "When it comes to building the army, I am far inferior to you. You single-handedly led a dozen people, and in just a few months, you started from scratch and pulled up such a strong team. I have taken advantage of the right time and place, but I have done nothing more than that. So I'm going to ask you for advice in the future!"
Yun Tianjia smiled: "When did you become so polite?
Dugu Wen said: "Speaking of where we lost, I think of two people, one is the Pingyang pigeon who secretly reported to the Five Elements Sect, and the other is the old man who was slaughtered all over the village and stopped on the road cursing us. They hated the officers and the army, and it was not a fraud. From this point of view, we are still losing out of the hearts of the people!"
"These are all done by corrupt officials. They deserve to die, but they have caused us a burden!" He Dali said indignantly: "We can't control other people, anyway, as long as Long He Army has Long Shovel and me, he will definitely not do that kind of thing to bully civilians!"
Dugu Wen sighed uncheckably and did not comment.
Yun Tianjia got up slowly, stretched out his palm to catch the snowflakes falling from the sky, and said: "The snow is so heavy tonight, the weather is so cold, I don't know how many homeless people in the world will freeze to death on the side of the road." ”
After a while, he said: "The reason why the Five Elements Sect has won the hearts of the people is not because of how good they are, but because our government is too bad. Officials are greedy for ink, and they don't treat civilians as human beings. The people were exploited layer by layer, and there was no way to live, so they had to take refuge in the Five Elements Sect and sacrifice their lives to rebel.
Therefore, as long as the country does not improve the government and rectify the rule of officials, we will not win the support of the people for a day. We are unpopular with the people, and in turn, the Five Elements Sect will continue to be supported by the masses at the bottom. We can defeat one Five Elements Sect, but soon a second or third Five Elements Sect will emerge, and the wildfire will not be exhausted, and the spring breeze will blow and regenerate. Our real enemy has never been the Five Elements Sect, but ourselves. I think this truth, with the wisdom of the county lord, it is not difficult to see. ”
Dugu Wen's waist suddenly said: "That's not necessarily." She's not like us, she has the opportunity to move around. ”
Yun Tianjia shook his head and said, "Even if the county lord can't see this, can't Mr. Wen see it?" In the Tuhao Empire, if you want to eliminate the Five Elements Sect, you must first rectify the rule of officials. To rectify the rule of officials, only the emperor himself and the future prince can do it. The emperor is devoted to cultivation, and has no time to take care of the government and the position of the prince, and there is no conclusion yet. If the county lord understood the previous truth, he would naturally not be in a hurry to exterminate the Five Elements Sect, but would exert his strength in the position of the prince. Only when she becomes the prince can she show her ambitions, clear the universe, and return the world to peace.
Therefore, I expect that in the next few months, the encirclement and suppression of the Five Elements Sect by the official army will be unprecedentedly sluggish. On the contrary, the momentum of the Five Elements Sect will intensify.
Our Longhe Army and Tianjia Army are military forces personally supported by the county lord, and they will inevitably play an important role in the matter of the prince in the future. Therefore, if the county lord knows our news, he will definitely let us rest on the spot, train the soldiers, develop the army, and wait for changes!"
Yun Tianjia's words, to put it harshly, are already suspected of arguing about the government. And arguing about government affairs is actually the biggest taboo for courtiers, and the severity is far worse than corruption and bribery. If it is two or three confidants talking in private, it may be fine, but if you make such a public statement, there are many people who talk about it, and it will inevitably reach the ears of others, and if you are used by someone with a heart, you may lose your head at any time.
Yun Tianjia is such a smart person, it stands to reason that he shouldn't make such a mistake.
It's a pity that, first, he is actually a modern person in nature, and he advocates freedom of speech in his bones; second, when he is in a mood, he does not vomit or feel unhappy, nor does he think about the consequences; third, he regards the Longhe Army and the Tianjia Army as his own people, and has no defense at all.
Dugu Wenyin believed that he was reasonable, but he was terrified when he heard it, and coughed twice in a low voice, thinking that it was a reminder.
Long Yuandong and Gong Luoluo knew the meaning of Dugu Wen's waist coughing, but they didn't think so, what was taboo or not, in their eyes, it was all bullshit, so they naturally wouldn't stop Yun Tianjia from saying what he thought.
And He Dali, Xiong Zhuangzhuang, Zhong Ding and a few others didn't feel that what Yun Tianjia said was wrong at all, and they all praised: "It makes sense!"
"Insightful!"
"God operators deserve to be god operators!"
"So, how can we get the news to the county lord?" asked Long Yuandong.
Gong Luoluo smiled: "Of course, I use the four-legged blue bird to transmit the message! I have an espionage team outside to answer it." It is estimated that it will not take two or three days for news from the county lord's side to come. ”
Long Yuandong was a good student again, and begged Gong Luoluo to give him a few pairs of four-legged blue birds.
Gong Luoluo agreed.
This night, they discussed the specific matters of camping, food, clothing, housing and transportation, Xiong Zhuangzhuang, Zhong Ding and the two of them gags from time to time, often amusing everyone to laugh, no sleep, until it was close to dawn, only on the bonfire, squinting for a while.
Three days later, Gong Luoluo really received a handwritten letter from He Xiaoduo.
Yun Tianjia saw that Long Yuandong and Yun Tianjia were written on the envelope, and Long Yuandong's name was still in front, so it was inconvenient to open it privately, so he immediately summoned Long Yuandong, He Dali, Dugu Wenjiao, Xiong Zhuangzhuang, Zhong Dinghe, Luo Erniang and other generals to watch together.
Long Yuandong said excitedly: "Since our Long He Army entered Qingyang County, we have almost lost contact with the outside world, and now we finally have news of the county lord again!"
Tear open the envelope, read the letter carefully, and then handed it back to Yun Tianjia with an embarrassed expression.
Yun Tianjia's heart trembled slightly, wondering if there was any bad news in the letter, and when he looked down, he saw the handwriting on the letter, and there was a chic in Juanxiu, which was indeed written by He Xiaoduo himself.
The letter is very simple, and the meaning is probably as follows:
First, when he learned that the Longhe Army was finally rescued by the Tianjia Army and Lucia and successfully jumped out of the enemy's encirclement, He Xiaoduo was overjoyed and overjoyed, and sincerely felt the virtue of the emperor's protection;
Second, when the Longhe army was trapped in Longwan, she sent Dai Zhong to lead the army to support, but unfortunately she was entangled by Shen Moxuan of the Qingmu Altar of the Five Elements Sect, and it was not until the day she wrote the letter that she would get rid of the entanglement and return to the base camp;
Third, the Longhe Army and the Tianjia Army have made meritorious contributions to killing the enemy, and they have made outstanding achievements, and they have specially promoted Long Yuandong to the general of Shangzhen, Yuntianjia to be the general of Zhongzhen, and the rest of the military attaches at all levels have been rewarded. The special status of Uterolo was not mentioned.
Fourth, order the Longhe Army and the Tianjia Army to rest on the spot, and reorganize the two armies into one army, called the "Longjia Army", with an upper limit of 10,000 people, Long Yuandong as the commander, Yun Tianjia as the deputy commander, and the rest of the ministries and officials at all levels are appointed by Long Yuandong and Yuntianjia themselves, and they can be reported after being determined.
Fifth, the Dragon Far East and Yun Tianjia were ordered to pay close attention to the movements of the Five Elements Sect, but they must not take the initiative to fight. Throughout the winter, everything is focused on recuperating from injuries and illnesses, training soldiers, and improving cultivation.
Sixth, the logistics equipment, diet, pills, money, food, and materials needed in the army will be transported one after another through Luo Erniang, Luxia and the secret trade routes of the people, but because the army is blocked, or it cannot be achieved overnight, all kinds of difficulties should be overcome temporarily!
In addition, the letter also said a lot of words of encouragement, which shows that He Xiaoduo has great expectations for the new "Dragon Armor Army".
After reading it, Yun Tianjia looked as usual and passed it to everyone to read.
After reading the letter, in addition to the excitement, everyone was more or less awkward.
The awkward part is that He Xiaoduo merged the two armies of Long He Army and Tianjia Army, but let Long Yuandong be the commander and Yun Tianjia be the deputy commander, which is very clear in favor of Long Yuandong.
Although Long Yuandong's military rank is higher than that of Yuntianjia, he is slightly weaker than Yuntianjia in terms of personal cultivation and commanding ability, especially after this battle, there are only more than 300 people left in the Longhe Army, and his strength is much inferior to that of the Tianjia Army.
Dugu Wen was even slightly disappointed in his heart, as far as he was concerned, of course, he hoped that Yun Tianjia would be positive and Long Yuandong would be his vice. Because this can at least show He Xiaoduo's attitude of meritocracy, rather than nepotism, which will be a real encouragement for him, a stranger.
Another one who shouted for Yun Tianjia was Luo Erniang.
In her opinion, Yun Tianjia is more mature than Long Yuandong in all aspects, but he has never been trusted and reused by He Xiaoduo, and it is indeed a depressing thing to be pressed by Long Yuandong in everything.
Actually, Luo Erniang is a bit of a blame.
Although He Xiaoduo favors Long Yuandong, he can also be regarded as very trusting of Yun Tianjia, otherwise why not let He Dali be the deputy commander?
Her degree of reuse of Yun Tianjia was only a little worse than that of Long Yuandong.
On the contrary, it is Gong Luoluo, because he was born in the largest family of the Tail Fire Country except for the royal family, he was named a high priest when he was a teenager, his status is unspeakable, plus he is out of the woods, he ignores authority, and even the prince of his country is called to come and go, so he has always been relatively dull to things like power and status, and he didn't see anything wrong with Yun Tianjia being the deputy commander.
As for He Dali, Xiong Zhuangzhuang, and Zhong Dinghe, although they felt that Yun Tianjia was a bit condescending to be the deputy commander, they were used to being the commander of Long Yuandong as early as the "Min Team" and "Force Team" period, and after a short period of awkwardness, they immediately felt that this arrangement was also very reasonable, besides, everyone is brothers, and there is something to discuss, so why worry too much about who is the deputy and who is the deputy?
