Chapter 1356: There is another secret
"Let's all retreat, if my expectations are correct, the Lord of the Moon Country has come all the way here not to be an enemy of us. ”
A calm and peaceful voice sounded from the back of the crowd, which seemed out of place in the tense and tragic atmosphere at this time.
The dozen or so high-level generals and masters who were blocking in front of the Lord of the Sword Sect were already red and blue in their eyes, but after these words fell, everyone's complexions suddenly eased quickly.
It's as if, as long as he says it's right.
Even if that person had lost to Mi Yuanyun twice, this almost blind trust still did not weaken in the slightest.
They really retreated, though their hands did not relax in the slightest.
And Yue Luoning finally saw Luo Hou's true face clearly.
This is a general whose image is very different from the rumors in the outside world, although Luo Hou's portrait Yue Luoning has actually seen it a long time ago, but after seeing the real person, she still feels a little incredible, as if he shouldn't look like this.
Luo Hou, who has millions of soldiers and horses in his hands, and even killed friendly troops, is either full of flesh and evil in the imagination of outsiders, or he looks like a yin owl exuding a ruthless atmosphere, or he is not angry and murderous.
However, what was presented in front of Yue Luoning at this time was a completely different image. If he shaved off the beard that he hadn't taken care of for a long time, he would be a beautiful son.
The slender eyebrows flew obliquely into the sideburns, the fair complexion that even blood could not hide, and the crystal-clear eyes were not only gloomy, but also had a little warmth, which made it easy for people to get close to him involuntarily.
Still sitting in place, he was dressed in dusty silver armor and holding a long sword, but it gave people the feeling that he didn't belong here, and he shouldn't be on this battle-torn battlefield.
He should appear at the banquet dressed in a grand costume and become the center of attention of many young girls. He should have a wine glass in his right hand and a wine glass in his left hand, and write a poem that was praised for a while surrounded by literati and writers......
Before coming here, Yue Luoning had already done a detailed understanding of Luo Hou's information.
Luo Hou, who is now three years old Chinese New Year's Eve has average cultivation talent, and he is only in the early stage of the extreme realm.
He was born in a wealthy family, and the Luo family where he is located has produced many high-quality and capable ministers in the past hundred years, and he is the only child of the Luo family who has stepped into the military world. And his success in the army to this day is actually due to the contributions of his father, grandfather, and others, who were officials in the court at that time.
Supporting Long Yan at the beginning was a thankless and dangerous task for many people.
Helping Long Yan fight, losing will naturally damage his reputation. If he wins, Gao Zhen will not get an inch of land, and his exploits will not be very significant. And General Gao Zhen is in the Long Yan army, and it is impossible to get any command.
It wasn't until the fall of the Longyan Kingdom that the Gaozhen Kingdom finally increased its support and sent a million troops in one fell swoop, and it was Luo Hou who took office at that time.
At a young age, he was able to successfully become the commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army and be promoted to the general of the chariot cavalry, which was completely the result of the Luo family's victory in the imperial court battle. Before that, Gao Zhen didn't have any wars, and he didn't have any good records.
At that time, there were not many people who had high hopes for him. No one expected that he would be able to kill Li Hao later, defeat Hou Jian, and temporarily force Mi Yuanyun back.
At that time, Luo Hou was in full swing, but then the fiasco of Qing'an City almost knocked him into the abyss of no return. Although he was able to unify the defense lines on Gao Zhen's northern border as quickly as possible, he was still deprived of his position as commander by the imperial court at that time.
It wasn't until three months later, when the hussar general Pu Xiu, who replaced him, was completely powerless to compete with Mi Yuanyun, and Luo Hou's subordinates performed too well, that he was reused again.
After that, there was a long stalemate of offensive and defensive battles. Until Qianlan suddenly withdrew his troops and the capital of Gao Zhenguo fell today......
Yue Luoning pressed the thoughts in her heart and asked lightly, "How can you see it?"
Luo Hou smiled slightly: "If the people of the Moon Kingdom want to kill me, it shouldn't be His Majesty the Moon King who came here today, but Lin Si." Your Majesty's golden body, I don't think I would come here to see my head fall to the ground. ”
Yue Luoning didn't immediately say what he meant, but followed his words and mentioned Lin Si.
"Back then, when Xianglan City and Qing'an City were fighting, Lin Si had made an evaluation, would you like to listen?"
The faces of everyone in the tent changed, and Luohou of Xianglan City won a great victory, but he left endless infamy. As for Qing'an City, Luo Hou returned in a fiasco, and he was a laughing stock in the mouths of outsiders for a long time.
These two battles can be regarded as a major stain on Luo Hou.
What's more, Lin Si's hatred for Luo Hou because of Fan Zhongyuan's death is actually not a secret now. This topic is extremely sensitive in front of Luo Hou.
But before they could say anything, General Silver Armor smiled with interest: "Oh, Lin Si, what did he say?"
"He thinks that in the battle of Xianglan City, the biggest mistake you made was that you shouldn't have pursued Hou Jian for thousands of miles, but you ignored Mi Yuanyun. And in the battle of Qing'an City, he thought that you were too impatient, although there was pressure to fight quickly to prevent the Shenyan Empire from increasing troops, but because of this, he was used by Mi Yuanyun, and the on-the-spot command was even inferior to him......"
Yue Luoning's words were not untargeted, she wanted to recruit Luo Hou, of course, she also had to consider him to see if he was worth it.
That's right, in the two battles of Xianglan City and Qing'an City, Luo Hou made mistakes. It seems that this should not be the performance of a famous player.
The smile on Luo Hou's face did not change in the slightest, and he nodded very dryly: "I did make the mistake of being greedy for merit back then, and I despised Mi Yuanyun too much, Lin Si is right......
"General...... Why don't you defend yourself?" one of the black-bearded generals closest to Luo Hou exhaled in pain.
He glared at Yue Luoning angrily and said loudly: "You people only saw the general's mistakes at that time, but where can you see his difficulties? Have you all forgotten, the battle of Xianglan City was actually the first time that General Luo Hou commanded a big battle, and many veterans in the other two cities didn't listen to him at all!"
Another general immediately added: "Yes, at that time, the Gaozhen army of the three cities had their own commanders, do you think that after the battle of Xianglan City, everyone would be willing to listen to General Luo Hou's orders? If it weren't for the defenders of Fanhe City who acted rashly to grab credit, where would Hou Jian have escaped? When General Luo Hou proposed to attack Fu'an City, where Mi Yuanyun was located, the eunuch of the prison army arbitrarily ordered everyone to chase after and kill Hou Jian, what could we do?"
"In the first battle of Qing'an City, General Luo Hou did not want to fight a decisive battle, it was the pressure of the imperial court, and he wanted us to finish the battle! The vanguard general of our army did not obey General Luo Hou's order to retreat, and finally fell into the enemy's heavy encirclement......
Only then did Yue Luoning suddenly realize that compared to Luo Hou, who later resisted Mi Yuanyun in the north of Gaozhen with weak troops for two or three years, Luo Hou in the previous two battles was actually inferior by more than one step.
Now it seems that there is something hidden.
One of the most disgusting points of the generals who have always led the army is that the imperial court arranges for the minister of the army or the eunuch to be by his side. This move is generally to prevent the leading generals from supporting their own troops, disobeying the will of the imperial court, and even rebelling. But this kind of move is also likely to seriously affect the talent of the generals.
These ministers and eunuchs are not military personnel and do not understand the art of war, but because they represent the court and the king, their power is incredibly great, and they can even directly intervene in military decision-making.
If you offend them, sometimes even if you win the battle, you will be liquidated when you return.
It's okay to meet a better and more knowledgeable minister of the army, but it would be a disaster to meet a minister of the army who likes to meddle everywhere and even grab credit.
In the armies of Lin Si, Ji Bingyun and others, there has always been no minister of supervising the army, so they have almost no constraints when fighting. Although Mi Yuanyun was not completely convinced at that time, he had the unreserved support of Prime Minister Wei Zhong, so his opinions could be turned into practical actions every time.
And Luo Hou is different, these generals are right, Luo Hou at that time was just emerging, although he took charge of the military with the help of the Luo family, it was impossible for the imperial court not to send people to check and balance him.
Unfortunately, he met a eunuch who liked to meddle in battle plans, but didn't understand anything.
In addition, the army is also a place where seniority is very important, and Luo Hou's qualifications at that time were still shallow, so it is not surprising that some people disagree with him.
However, this is not the reason why Luo Hou commanded the battle for the first time and was inexperienced.
However, Luo Hou, who was 'protected' by the generals, did not follow to defend himself, he stood up and waved his hand: "Qing'an City's plan to rob grain was seen through by Mi Yuanyun, and I fell behind. Failing to conjure all the soldiers into one mind is a dereliction of duty on the part of the coach, and there is no need to excuse me. ”
A heartfelt smile appeared on Yue Luoning's face, and this person's bearing made her very satisfied. There is not only the courage and strategy of a military general, but also the sophistication of a civil servant. To put it simply, this person can fight and be a man at the same time.
Such a person is exactly what she needs. A few simple words made her feel worthwhile.
"I'm here to recruit you, and I want you to work for the Moon Country. She didn't go around in any circles again, and directly explained her intentions.
The Gao Zhen generals in the tent were all stunned, and immediately set their eyes on Luo Hou in the center.
In fact, they had already vaguely guessed Yue Luoning's intention, but when she said it herself, they still felt a little ridiculous.
The reason is very simple, the relationship between Gao Zhen and Yueguo is not very good.
There is not only the personal feud between Luo Hou and Lin Si, but also the festival between Gao Zhen and Yueguo.
In the Tianyin Rebellion, Gao Zhen sent people to the Moon Country. They also coveted the Heavenly Seal, and they also had a share in the plan to split the Moon Kingdom and murder Lin Munie and the others. And in the end, Cui Rong, the protector elder in the late stage of the Gaozhen Heavenly Realm, died outside Zhouxi City.
And the reason why Gao Zhen died so quickly this time was not because the Moon Kingdom invaded Qianlan, which caused Shen Qing's 800,000 troops in the northern Qianlan Corps to suddenly withdraw, so that there were too many holes in the defense line.
In addition, Gao Zhenren actually knew that even if they defeated Shenyan, it was very likely that they would be attacked by the Moon Kingdom in the future. The Moon Country is their potential enemy, and they have been guarding against the Moon Country people all the time.
Now that Gao Zhen is about to be completely destroyed, at this time, the lord of the Moon Country actually came to recruit General Gao Zhen, which is too ridiculous. (To be continued.) )
