Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 inforeadx;? Seeing Cai Heng crying, Pang Ying, the commander of the Third Legion, hurriedly stepped forward, pulled him up, and said, "Your Highness is safe, General Cai is still crying, get up quickly,"
After Cai Heng got up, he wiped the tears on his face, slowed down for a moment, bowed to Shangguan Xiu, and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you Your Highness for your concern, the injury of the last general is no longer a big problem,"
Shangguan Xiu asked, "Our army, how many soldiers have come back?"
Cai Heng lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Come back, come back in total, three hundred and fifteen people,"
"Of the 20,000 soldiers, only 315 came back alive......"
Cai Hengtong knelt down again, choked up and said, "It's the last general who is incompetent,"
Shangguan Xiu turned his gaze, looked at Pang Ying, and asked, "General Pang, do you think General Cai is incompetent?"
Hearing Shangguan Xiu's weird question, Pang Ying's cold sweat came down, he felt that he was innocent and unlucky, and slapped the horse's leg on the horse's leg.
Shangguan Xiu and Cai Xiao are political enemies who share the sky, and Cai Heng is Cai Xiao's nephew, so he took advantage of his position to deliberately assign Cai Heng a mortal task.
He sighed secretly, it was already a miracle that Cai Heng could come back alive this time, and he was still in Leping County, continuously destroying the grain, grass and armory of the Ningnan Army, which was even more of a miracle.
Pang Ying pondered for a moment and said, "Your Highness, General Cai has shown heroism and decisiveness in this battle, which is remarkable, and can be called a great contribution,"
Shangguan Xiu smiled and asked, "Then, General Pang can reward General Cai for his great achievements,"
Pang Ying cleared his throat unnaturally, a little unable to understand Shangguan Xiu's thoughts, he said cautiously: "General Cai's merit is too great, the last general will not dare to make a decision without authorization, and please ask His Highness to decide,"
With a cunning voice, Shangguan Xiu glanced at Pang Ying and said, "General Cai is your subordinate, how to reward meritorious soldiers, does General Pang still need to ask me?"
Pang Ying scratched his head and said tentatively: "General Cai has a meritorious service in breaking the enemy, and he should be ...... Reinstatement of the officer,"
"It's just a reinstatement of the official,"
Pang Ying was shocked, and immediately said: "The last general thinks that with General Cai's talent, he should be promoted to the post of general,"
"I think even if General Cai is the deputy general of your three legions, it will be more than enough,"
"What His Royal Highness said is extremely true, it just so happens that my Third Army is still short of a deputy general, and the last general thinks that it is more suitable for General Cai to serve as the post," Pang Ying reacted very quickly, and wherever Shangguan Xiu's words were introduced, he would follow and say,
Hearing this, Shangguan Xiu nodded and said lightly: "Then it's decided," as he spoke, he looked at Wei Chi Zhen again and asked, "Why didn't General Wei Chi express his position?"
Now, the supreme commander of the Feng Army in Mingshui County is Wei Chizhen, and he promoted a corps commander to the deputy general of a legion, of course, he also needs to get Wei Chizhen's approval.
The deputy general is not a small position, it is the deputy commander of the corps, in the entire legion, under one person, above 100,000 people,
Hearing Shangguan Xiu's question, Wei Chi smiled bitterly in his heart, does His Highness have a chance to say no to himself, His Highness can still say this to himself in public, it can be regarded as giving himself a big face, he leaned over and said: "Your Highness is wise, and the general will have no objection,"
"Well," Shangguan Xiu replied softly, and then asked, "At present, what is the situation on the main battlefield?"
In this national war between the Wind Country and Ningnan, the first main battlefield is neither in the south nor in the north, and it is not in Ningnan at all, but in Duji, Ningnan has a garrison of millions in Duji, and the troops invested by the Feng Army in Duji have also reached millions of people.
Wei Chi really said: " The commander of the Ningnan Army in Duji is the former general Xin Jiyao, and the commander of our army in Duji is the right general Sheng Zhai and General Wei Shi Xiao, General Sheng led six corps to defend the border between Ningnan and Duji, cutting off the return route of the main force of the Ningnan Army to retreat, General Shi led three corps, in the two wings of the Ningnan Army, attacked and harassed and pinned, in addition, the third army of the Southwest Group Army (Zhenjun Army) inserted Duji in the Xiolun area of the Besa country, and attacked the rear of the Ningnan Army. ”
Listening to Wei Chi Zhen's eloquent talk, the corners of Shangguan Xiu's mouth raised slightly, this may be the only advantage of civilian generals, and the ability to talk about soldiers on paper is first-class,
Shangguan Xiu said: "Ningnan is in Duji, there are millions of troops, in order to prevent the retreat of the Ningnan army, we have also invested a million troops in Duji, both sides have consumed millions of troops in Duji, what advantage does our army have over Ningnan Army, if I remember correctly, when formulating a strategy on the spot, the maximum number of troops that our army can invest in the Duji battlefield is 600,000,"
"The former general of Ningnan is cunning and good at using troops, with only 600,000 troops, I am afraid, it will be difficult to resist the retreat of a million Ningnan troops,"
"Therefore, there are people who are good at making claims, changing the established battle strategy, and throwing millions of troops into the Duki battlefield,"
In the original battle strategy, Wei Chizhen, Sheng Zhai, and Shi Xiao were not included at all, but he disappeared for three months, everything changed, the commander of the Feng Army in Mingshui County became Wei Chi Zhen, and the Feng Army even made two commanders on the Duji battlefield, one is Sheng Zhai and the other is Shi Xiao, wasting the strength of a million troops in vain, no wonder his own army advanced to Mingshui County, and began to lack stamina, and was killed here by the Ningnan army.
Wei Chizhen knelt down and said, "Please forgive your highness,"
Shangguan Xiu frowned at first, then he raised his eyebrows and asked, "You transferred General Sheng and General Shi to the Duji battlefield,"
How is this possible, he is just a rear general, and he has just been promoted, where can he transfer the former general and General Wei, Wei Chi Zhen lowered his head and said: "Your Highness is laughing, the last general has no right to transfer General Sheng and General Wei,"
"Since it wasn't you who transferred, what kind of crime are you asking for in front of me," Shangguan Xiu closed his eyes a little tiredly, and now, he had a general understanding of the overall war situation between the two countries,
In the southern battlefield of Ningnan, there are three legions of the Zhenjun Army, plus an eleventh corps, and in the northern battlefield of Ningnan, there are the third, fourth, fifth, seventh, and ninth armies, a total of five corps.
"I'm tired, you all go down first,"
"Yes, Your Highness," all the generals bowed in unison,
"By the way, General He, who died in the battle, should ask for a posthumous seal, and the bereavement of the deceased soldiers should also be done as soon as possible,"
"The last will understand,"
Shangguan Xiu closed his eyes and waved his hand outward, and everyone bowed down again and pushed out the tent one after another.
In the end, only two generals did not leave, one was the commander of the Seventh Army, Jiang Leopard, and the other was the commander of the Ninth Army, Qi Fei, both of them were from Shura Hall, and they were also Shangguan Xiu's henchmen.
After all the generals left, Jiang Leopard and Qi Fei both came to the bed and asked with concern: "Brother Xiu, where have you been in the past few months, we have sent out all the elite spies in the army to search for your whereabouts in various parts of Ningnan, but there has been no news,"
Shangguan Xiu raised his eyes, smiled at the two of them, and said, "I'm in Ningnan, and I've been recuperating from my injuries for more than two months,"
"Recuperate, Brother Xiu was injured," this question was also what Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei were eager to know, and the two of them stared at Shangguan Xiu intently.
Shangguan Xiu nodded and said, "It's someone from Xuanling Palace, I was injured," mentioning Xuanling Palace, Shangguan Xiu immediately thought of Pei Ying, he looked at Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei, and asked, "When General Cai took me back to the camp, did he bring back a corpse?"
Xiao Jue responded: "Yes, Brother Xiu, according to General Cai, even when Brother Xiu was in a coma, he clutched that person's clothes,"
Wu Yufei walked quickly to the weapon rack on the side, took out a sword emitting blue light from it, returned to the bed, and said, "Brother Xiu, this is also brought back by General Cai,"
Shangguan Xiu looked at it, a gloomy color flashed on his face, and he said: "Burn the body, bury the ashes, and when I return to China, I will bring it back to the Divine Pool,"
Xiao Jue was shocked and said, "This person is the elder of the Divine Pool,"
"It should be," if Pei Ying hadn't been sent out of Shenchi by Guangxuan Ling, with his spirituality and dedication to Lingwu, he would eventually become an elder of Shenchi, or even a great elder, it would be possible,
Shangguan Xiu told everyone about what happened to him in Ningnan during this time, and in the end, Shangguan Xiu was also tired and fell asleep groggily.
When he woke up again, it was the next morning.
On this day, Shangguan Xiu was obviously much more energetic, and his complexion was much better, and in the eyes of the falcon, he regained his former vigor, Jiang Leopard and Qi Fei came early in the morning, and when they saw Shangguan Xiu wake up, the two couldn't wait to tell him about the battle situation of these days one by one,
In Shangguan Xiu's eyes, Wei Chizhen is just a civilian official who can talk about war on paper, but in fact, it is really not like that, Wei Chizhen is proficient in the art of war, especially the art of war on firearms, and he has studied it particularly thoroughly.
He governed the army rigorously, was good at using soldiers, commanded the wind army, fought all the way from the border of the two countries to Leping County, during which he experienced dozens of large and small battles, almost never tasted defeat, until he arrived in Leping County, the Ningnan court arranged heavy troops here, and the wind army was finally blocked.
For Yu Chizhen, Jiang Bao and Qi Fei were both convinced and full of praise, but Shangguan Xiu didn't think so.
At the beginning of the war, the Feng army was well prepared and prepared, while the Ningnan army was completely defenseless and rushed to meet the battle, even if a fool was to command the wind army, he could achieve a series of victories.
But when it came to Leping County, when the two sides faced Maimang, the offensive of the wind army began to weaken, which was the incompetence of the coach.
Shangguan Xiu recuperated for another two days, and the injuries on his body recovered to seventy-seven eighty-eight, and he was able to walk around on the ground, so he let Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei support him and went to the Zhongjun tent.
The main generals of the Feng Army gathered in the tent of the Chinese army, discussing the next battle strategy, and when they saw Shangguan Xiu, all the generals got up and saluted.
Wei Chizhen stood up on the handsome position, took the initiative to give up his seat, and said, "Your Highness, please take a seat,"
Seeing the generals and officials arranging their seats at a glance, Shangguan Xiu felt bored in his heart,
In the tent of the Chinese army under his command, there will never be a seat or cushion, and even if it is, it is just an ornament, and he and his generals will either stand around the sand table or around the map, and never sit in the camp tent, only by mouth,
