After listening to Shangguan Xiu's summary, Sui Tangjing bowed down and said with a solemn face. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
There are two main reasons why this exercise was a draw, one is that Sui Tangjing really underestimated Cai Huang, and did not expect that the subsidiary army composed of stragglers of the rebels would be so powerful under Cai Huang's training.
It was also because of the light enemy that Sui Tangjing was ruthlessly attacked by Cai Huang when he seized the woods, resulting in the annihilation of the two corps.
Next, although Sui Tangjing put away her contempt, the disadvantage has been formed, and if she wants to move back, she can't move back.
The second reason is that the combat power of the Fourth Army itself is indeed not strong.
If it is replaced by the first, second, and third armies, even if half of the troops are lost in the woods, the remaining half of the troops will be enough to directly defeat the 100,000 subordinate troops on the frontal battlefield.
This is not an exaggeration, and the battle-hardened Zhenjun Army does have such strength. It's a pity that the current Fourth Army is not the previous Fourth Army, and most of the soldiers in it are recruits who have never been on the battlefield and have no actual combat experience.
In Shangguan Xiu's view, Sui Tangjing, the commander of the Fourth Legion, has a long way to go. He turned his gaze, looked at Cai Huang, smiled, and said: The performance of the affiliated army today is surprising and amazing, and General Cai can be said to have contributed a lot.
Cai Huang bowed down and said: Your Highness has won the award!
Shangguan Xiu smiled and asked: How does it feel like to die?
It's not comfortable. Cai Huang said honestly: It was obviously a victory, but in the end it was only a draw.
Therefore, the commander who takes the lead can certainly stimulate the fighting spirit of the officers and men of the whole army and enhance the morale of the soldiers, but he must also have a rod and scale in his heart.
Shangguan Xiu said slowly: Those who are sure to take the lead are geniuses, and those who are not sure are fools, geniuses and fools, only between the first line, I hope you can be the former.
Cai Huang Zhengse said: His Royal Highness's warning, the last will be remembered!
Shangguan Xiu nodded, to smart people, just click on everything, there is no need to go deeper.
He stood up, adjusted the military uniform on his body, and said: From now on, the number of the affiliated army will be changed to the 21st Army of the Central Army, which is under the banner of the Southwest Group Army, the internal number of the group army, the Fifth Army!
When Cai Huang heard this, his body was shocked, he was stunned for a moment, and he quickly knelt on his knees, kowtowed forward, and his voice trembled slightly because of excitement...... On behalf of all the officers and soldiers of the Fifth Legion, thank Your Highness Longen!
Shangguan Xiu continued: During the period of counterinsurgency, Cai Huang had a brilliant record and had the merit of forming a corps, so he was specially appointed as the commander of the 21st Army.
Cai Huang bowed forward again.
Shangguan Xiu continued: Stony Creek Guanying!
The two young generals who were named hurriedly stepped out of the ranks, knelt down on one knee behind Cai Huang, intervened in the salute, and said in unison: The last general!
The two of you serve as deputy regiments of the 21st Army, assist General Cai, and jointly manage the 21st Army!
The last general, His Royal Highness Xie Longen, Shi Xi and Guan Ying bowed forward.
Stony Brook and Guan Ying are completely two different styles of generals, the former is strong in literature and weak in martial arts, when he was studying in the military martial arts hall, Shi Xi's writing score was one of the best, but Lingwu's score should be shot at the end.
Guanying is the opposite, when he was a martial artist, he was the champion of three consecutive Capture the Flag Tournaments, and when he was assigned to the army, he was the champion of the three armies. Among the generals of the Shaozhuang faction, he is definitely worthy of his name, Guanying, and Wuguanying!
Shi Xi was born in the common people, and Guan Ying was born in a wealthy family (all those who do not match their age are basically from wealthy families, there is no way, ordinary children can't afford to buy spirit stones to assist in cultivation), the former has a simple and unpretentious personality, and the latter has a domineering personality, and the two of them can just complement each other in temperament.
Under a series of orders from Shangguan Xiu, the 21st Army of the Wind Country was officially established. From then on, the Zhenjun Army, that is, the Southwest Group Army, was no longer four army corps, but expanded to five army corps, which was already a super-large group army.
Shangguan Xiu also specially allocated 300,000 taels of silver to the Fifth Army to reward the soldiers in the army.
After a month of devilish training and a successful passage through the intense exercise, the Fifth Army ushered in a three-day holiday in a row, and the 300,000 yuan bounty also made the soldiers' pockets abundant.
The change in treatment made the officers and men of the Fifth Army naturally happy, and for the first time since returning to the imperial court, they felt that they were valued, and even the feeling of walking was different.
On the way back to the city, Cai Xiao took the initiative to walk with Shangguan Xiu, and the old man grinned and asked with a smile: What does His Highness think of the old minister's performance today?
Shangguan Xiu commented lightly: Excellent.
Cai Xiao said: The dog has been competitive since he was a child, no matter what he does, he must strive to be the first, in fact, he can often do it, such a temperament, it is inevitable to offend people, in the army, I hope His Royal Highness can take care of one or two.
It's fake to ask Shangguan Xiu to treat him, but it's true to show off to him.
The implication of his words is that Cai Huang is one of the few in business, and Cai Huang is also one of the few in the army.
Looking at Cai Xiao's smug face, Shangguan Xiu smiled lightly. Even if he doesn't like Cai Xiao very much, he has to admit that he is very good at giving birth to sons, or he is very good at educating children.
Both are a century-old family and a wealthy family, but in terms of educating their children, Song Sheng is far inferior to Cai Xiao.
Cai Xiao can cultivate a son like Cai Huang, but Song Sheng only cultivates a waste like Song Xuan, and the difference between the two is more than 108,000 miles.
It can also be seen from this that the defeat of the Song family is not accidental, but inevitable, and the glory of the Cai family is also not accidental, but also inevitable.
Back in the palace, Shangguan Xiu saw Tang Ling.
Tang Ling asked: Ah Xiu, how was today's exercise?
It was a success. Shangguan Xiu said honestly. Such a large-scale exercise, with no accidents and no unfortunate casualties, can be regarded as a very successful exercise.
Ah Xiu will go out for a walk with me.
Shangguan Xiu took Tang Ling's arm and went for a walk in the Imperial Garden. Tang Ling asked: During this time, seeing that you are in a hurry to deal with military affairs, are you going to go on an expedition again?
Shangguan Xiu said: Sheng Zhai died of illness, such a big Duji battlefield, so many soldiers, now all in charge of Shi Xiao alone, I really can't rest assured.
Tang Ling smiled slightly and said: Shi Xiao's family is all in Shangjing, and he has always been loyal to the imperial court.
Shangguan Xiu shook his head and said: I'm not worried that he will defect, but I'm worried that his ability is not enough to command an army of nearly a million.
Tang Ling Zhengse said: Shi Xiao has been a general of Wei for more than ten years, guarding Shangjing, there has never been a chaos, in the army, his qualifications can be regarded as a veteran.
Shangguan Xiu did not deny Shi Xiao's ability, he said: It is more than enough to let Shi Xiao be in charge of an army, but his grasp of the overall situation is his weakness.
Facts have proved that our army has won a series of battles in Duki.
It is precisely because of the successive battles that people are even more worried.
If Shi Xiao can suffer one or two defeats since he took charge of the army, Shangguan Xiu is relieved, with Shi Xiao's character, he will be doubly cautious after defeat, I am afraid that he will not eat defeat, and a failure will knock him into the abyss of no return.
Tang Ling burst out laughing, took Shangguan Xiu's hand, and asked, "Ah Xiu, do you know what you look like now?"
Like what?
Jealousy!
...... Shangguan Xiu was speechless, he was afraid that Shi Xiao would think the same way, so in the biography to Shi Xiao, his words were all careful not to cause Shi Xiao's misunderstanding.
Tang Ling shook his arm and said: Ah Xiu, don't worry anymore, I still have a lot of confidence in Shi Xiao, it is not easy for Ningnan people to take advantage of Shi Xiao's hands, when I was defeated in Ningnan, I was chased and killed by the Ningnan army, and it was Shi Xiao who led the army to defeat the Ningnan pursuers!
I hope so! Shangguan Xiu nodded, and now he could only hope that Shi Xiao would listen to his reminders, and he would not underestimate the enemy or rush forward.
That night, late at night. Shangguan Xiu and Tang Ling had already fallen asleep, and there was a sudden sound of continuous gunfire outside. Even Tang Ling, who was asleep, was awakened at this time, and she asked with sleepy eyes: What's going on outside?
Shangguan Xiu stroked Tang Ling's jade back and said softly: Xiang'er continue to sleep, I'll go out and have a look. He got up, put on a cloak, and walked out of the bedchamber. Outside, you can vaguely see fires in the northeast and southeast directions.
He raised his hand, and a black mist suddenly appeared in front of him, and the black mist quickly condensed into a human form. A secret spiritual cultivator appeared in front of Shangguan Xiu out of thin air, intervened in the salute, and said, "Your Highness!
What's going on out there, why is it so messy?
Back to His Highness, the Duwei Mansion is encircling and suppressing the rebel stronghold!
Make such a big move?
It was reported that there were a large number of rebels in the strongholds, and that the rebels were in possession of a large number of firearms, such as mortars and stone mines.
Shangguan Xiu frowned, didn't say anything more, waved his hand, and the Tongtianmen disciple's body was weak, and he disappeared in an instant.
He raised his eyes and looked in the two directions where the sound of battle came, and shook his head secretly, Shangjing was so turbulent, how could he leave with confidence and go to Doki?
When he returned to the dormitory, Tang Ling had already sat up from the bed, rubbed his eyes and asked, "Ah Xiu, what's wrong?"
The Duwei Mansion is encircling and suppressing the rebel party.
Hearing the movement, I thought that the rebel party had gathered a large army and launched an attack on Shangjing! Tang Ling said helplessly.
Shangguan Xiu walked to the bed, sat down, and said with a smile: I'm here!
It was only four words that were understated, but it made Tang Ling feel extremely relieved. She approached Shangguan Xiu's arms and fell asleep again in a daze.
As time passed, the sound of gunfire outside gradually weakened, and Shangguan Xiu first flattened Tang Ling, and then he slowly lay down.
However, it had not been a quarter of an hour before he lay down when there was another burst of gunfire outside, but unlike before, this time the gunfire was close at hand.
Shangguan Xiu suddenly opened his eyes, and Tang Ling, who was still holding him in his sleep, was also shocked and woke up, she first listened attentively for a moment, and then said in surprise: Ah Xiu -
Don't be afraid! I'm here! As he spoke, he turned his head and said, "Yufei!
The door of the dormitory opened, and Wu Yufei strode in from the outside.
As Shangguan Xiu spoke, the person had flashed out of the dormitory, and when he arrived outside, his figure shook and floated onto the roof of the dormitory. He first looked in the direction where the gunshots came from, and shouted: Someone!
This time it was not the disciples of Tongtianmen who appeared, but the master of Tongtianmen, Cheng Feng. On Cheng Feng's left and right, there are also two leaders of the Tongtianmen.
After the three of them appeared, they all intervened and saluted, saying, "Your Highness!
Who is attacking the palace?
The identity of the incoming enemy is unknown, but the spirit martial arts are extremely high! Before Cheng Feng's words fell, the gunshots that came from him were closer to the dormitory. Shangguan Xiu narrowed his eyes, looking for prestige, and vaguely, he saw a figure floating rapidly over, and the nearby Praetorian Guards and gendarmes opened fire one after another, but the projectile hit the body of the comer, only flashing clusters of sparks, but it could not hurt the opponent's spirit armor.
In the blink of an eye, the man broke into the courtyard of the dormitory as if he had entered a no-man's land. At the moment when he landed, dozens of dark cultivators suddenly appeared on the surrounding courtyard walls, holding all the same spirit guns in their hands.
Bang Bang Bang -
Dozens of spirit muskets fired at the same time, and the gunfire was continuous.
