Surrounded by Luo Ren and Nie Zhen's generals, Shangguan Xiu walked into the City Lord's Mansion. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Now the City Lord's Mansion has become the operational command center of the Wind Army, and it is full of busy Wind Army strategists and military attachés.

In the center of the hall, two large tables were placed, one with Masala's map and the other with Masala's sand table.

Shangguan Xiu walked to the map, stood still, and looked down. Luo Ren stepped forward and explained: Your Highness, at present, the Ningnan Army has invested four Central Army Corps and one Righteous Army Corps in Massala, with a total strength of more than 300,000 troops. Our forces at Massala consisted of the 10th and 13th Corps, as well as one corps each of the 9th and 12th Corps, with a total strength of 200,000.

Nie Zhen immediately answered: Now that His Highness has arrived and brought two more legions, the strength of our army is no longer at a disadvantage, and it is completely possible to launch a counterattack against the Ningnan army next!

Luo Ren shook his head and said: The fifteenth and sixteenth armies in southern Ningnan are not far from Massala, once our army launches a counterattack, the fifteenth and sixteenth armies in Ningnan will definitely take advantage of the weakness to enter, whether it is to form an encirclement for our army, or to attack the city of Massala in the rear of our army, the consequences are unimaginable. Speaking of this, Luo Ren frowned slightly, and said: Xin Jiyao is deceitful with soldiers, and he is the best at leading the enemy to attack, and our army must no longer take it lightly and follow in the footsteps of the Battle of Qiao!

When Nie Zhen heard this, he nodded solemnly, agreeing with Luo Ren's point of view. The defeat of Zio is indeed a living example, after a battle, an entire group army was wiped out, and the fruits of his own hard work in the early stage were lost.

As he spoke, a gendarme hurried in, approached the city, and whispered a few words in his ear. Pawn frowned and waved to the gendarmes, indicating that he already knew.

Shangguan Xiu looked at Guidang and asked, "What's the matter?"

This......

Why, is there anything else I can't know?

The subordinates didn't dare! They should have hurriedly bowed and saluted, and then he said: It was General Wei who heard that His Highness was coming and wanted to see His Highness.

General Wei, Shi Xiao? Since arriving in Massala, Shangguan Xiu always felt that there was something shortcoming, and now when he mentioned Shi Xiao, he suddenly remembered that he was missing Shi Xiao, the commander of the whole army.

He was angry and said: Shi Xiao wants to see me, just come over, do you want me to see him?

Everyone glanced at each other, Luo Ren cleared his throat and said, "Your Highness, General Wei is afraid that he will not be able to come to see His Highness."

Oh? He knows that he has no face to see me? If this is the case, Shi Xiao is not bad, at least he is ashamed, then he is not far from Hou Yong.

Luo Ren pondered for a moment, bowed down and said: Your Highness, impeached by the gendarmerie, General Wei has now stepped down as the commander of the whole army, and it is the last general to succeed Shi Xiao.

Hearing this, Shangguan Xiu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and his gaze like lightning swept over Luo Ren and fell on Gaidang and Ziyin. Impeaching the dignified General Wei, the two of them are so bold, such an act can be called a military mutiny.

When Kazuko was invisible, he knelt on the ground, kowtowed forward, and said: Your Highness forgive your sins!

Nie Zhen Zhengse said: Your Highness, General Wei's rash advance has led to the fiasco of our army in Qi'o, but General Wei is unrepentant and will continue to launch a counteroffensive against the Ningnan army.

There is nothing wrong with the impeachment of the gendarmerie, please be aware of it Your Highness!

Shangguan Xiu didn't say anything immediately, he rubbed his chin, turned around and walked to the end of the hall, where a huge map of the entire defense line of the Wind Army was hung on the wall. He took a closer look from top to bottom and asked: Our army's defense line is all arranged by Ah Ren?

It's the last general!

Not bad. Shangguan Xiu turned to look at Dangdang and Ziyin, who were kneeling and kowtowing, and said: You two get up!

Thank you, Your Highness!

General Wei, second only to the four generals in front of the left and right, the impeachment of him by the two of you has set a precedent for the gendarmerie, and in the future, even if the four generals see you, I am afraid they will have to be polite. Shangguan Xiu's words went straight to the point.

It is true that there are elements of thinking about the front-line soldiers, but the main purpose is to establish the prestige of the gendarmerie and the gendarmerie.

If the gendarmerie can successfully impeach Shi Xiao this time, then the gendarmerie will also be able to impeach higher-ranking generals in the future, and the prestige of the gendarmerie in the army will be completely established.

But as Shi Xiao said, this matter is not over, if it is stabbed to the imperial court, the imperial court will have to fry the pot, and the gendarmerie will be impeached in turn, and the crime of He Ziyin should be punished.

At the critical moment, Shangguan Xiu was able to stand up and protect the two of them, turning big things into small things and small things, so that the prestige of the gendarmerie was also established, and the two of them were safe and sound, and they were all happy. But if Shangguan Xiu didn't protect the two of them, but pushed them out, then both of them would be guilty of the following capital crimes.

He Ziyin didn't dare to stand up, but when he heard Shangguan Xiu's words, his face turned white, and he kowtowed forward again, his head on the ground, and he didn't dare to raise it.

Shangguan Xiu said quietly: Are you two already decided, the gendarmerie was established by me, so no matter what happens, I have to protect the gendarmerie and not let the gendarmerie make any mistakes.

Subordinates dare not ......

The two of you even dare to impeach General Wei privately, what is there that the two of you dare not do? Shangguan Xiu asked with a smile.

It should be that when Hezi sweated like rain, he maintained a posture of kowtowing and didn't dare to say more.

Brother Xiu! Luo Ren walked up to Shangguan Xiu with a worried face. He was really worried that Shangguan Xiu would punish him for this matter.

Audacious, good at prestige, self-righteous. This is Shangguan Xiu's evaluation of Dang and Ziyin, and it is also a reprimand for the two of them.

It is not wrong to be He Ziyin's approach, Shi Xiao should indeed be impeached, but such a big matter cannot be decided by the two of them privately, if Shangguan Xiu does not reprimand or suppress it, but sits back and continues to connive, with the bold nature of the two of them, they will have to go to the sky in the future.

The two of them were trained to be as pale as earth, and their bodies were suddenly trembling. Shangguan Xiu waved his hand and said: Get up, and each lead the army with thirty rods. After speaking, he looked at the gendarme who reported the message and said, "General Jie Wei has come to see me."

The gendarme was already stunned and frightened, and it took a while for him to react, and he hurriedly bowed down and answered: Yes, Your Highness! After speaking, he ran out of the hall in a puff of smoke.

He and Ziyin each received thirty military staffs, and when the two of them limped back to the hall, Shi Xiaoye had been taken by the military police.

Seeing Shangguan Xiu, Shi Xiao fell to his knees with a puff, and said with a crying voice: Weichen Shi Xiao, see Your Highness!

Shangguan Xiuzheng was looking at Du Ji's map of the whole territory, his eyes swept around the map, and after pondering carefully for a long time, he slowly turned around, looked at Shi Xiao, and said with a smile: General Wei, please get up!

Wechen didn't dare.

Oh?

Wechen has been impeached by the gendarmerie and is no longer General Wei!

As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone present suddenly changed, and the smile on Shangguan Xiu's face gradually deepened. General Wei, that was conferred by the emperor himself, and was dismissed by the gendarmerie, doesn't it mean that the gendarmerie has overtaken the emperor, so it is worth it?

Shi Xiao has been in the army for more than 20 years and has served as General Wei for more than 10 years, how can he give it for nothing, one sentence is enough to punish his heart.

Shangguan Xiu glanced at Guidang and Ziyin, and saw that the two of them had their heads lowered, their fists clenched, and their faces changed, he secretly smiled bitterly, now you should know where you are wrong, right?

He smiled indifferently and said: General Wei's words are serious, the name of General Wei is the emperor's own seal, and only His Majesty can remove General Wei. General Wei, please get up quickly! While speaking, Shangguan Xiu stepped forward and personally helped Shi Xiao up.

Shi Xiao got up, choked up and said: Thank Your Highness for not giving up, Weichen is grateful! While speaking, he also deliberately glanced at Dangdang and Ziyin, his face was full of cruelty, and he secretly decided that if he didn't kill these two things that didn't know the height of the sky this time, he Shi Xiao would write his name upside down.

Your Highness, there is something unknown about Weichen!

Oh, General Wei, please have something to say.

On the battlefield, is there really a general who is always victorious and undefeated? Without waiting for Shangguan Xiu to answer, Shi Xiao continued: After General Sheng Lao died of illness, Weichen took over the post of commander-in-chief, and he thought that he had done his best and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

......

Shangguan Xiu didn't answer, his fingers tapping lightly on the table in a rhythmic manner. In the eyes of everyone, he was speechless by Shi Xiao's questioning.

When he and Ziyin's faces became more and more ugly, because of their own relationship, they put His Royal Highness in such an ugly situation, and the two of them were like being scratched and rubbed their intestines. The two of them knelt down in unison and said, "Your Highness...... The subordinates voluntarily admit their guilt!

It's just that the words behind the two have not yet come out, Shi Xiao didn't give the two of them a chance to continue talking, and said: The gendarmerie impeached Weichen with only one defeat, and Weichen disagreed, and asked His Highness to call the shots for Weichen, and asked His Majesty to call the shots for Weichen!

After a while, Shangguan Xiu suddenly smiled and asked casually: How many soldiers did our army die in the defeat of Qi Ao?

Shi Xiao's face changed slightly, and he lowered his head and said: "Back to Your Highness, our army ...... Our army lost 350,000 ...... This is really not a glorious record, no matter how thick Shi Xiao's face is, it is a little difficult to speak.

Shangguan Xiu nodded slowly, and sighed softly: "Three hundred and fifty thousand soldiers!" After a pause, he asked again: How many people were in the Ningnan Army at that time?

Be...... It's five legions.

With four legions, we fought against five legions of the enemy, and even if we were defeated, it should not be so miserable. Shangguan Xiu said softly.

Be...... It is because our army's logistics are cut off, the supply is insufficient, and the firepower of the Ningnan army is too fierce......

Well. Shangguan Xiu nodded thoughtfully, and then asked rhetorically: So, General Wei never felt that there was anything wrong with the Ningnan Army?

He said a word, and Shi Xiao was stunned, something is wrong? What's wrong? He asked cautiously: I don't know what His Highness is referring to......

On the Duki battlefield, our army has been fighting with the Ningnan Army for almost a year, right?

Yes, Your Highness!

How many battles have taken place on both sides in total this year?

This...... It is no longer possible to count.

The number of battles between the two sides has reached the point where it is impossible to count, so where did the logistics supply of the Ningnan Army come from?

Shi Xiao looked at Shangguan Xiu dumbfounded, stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: It was transported from the middle of Duji!

So, where did the supplies of the Ningnan people come from in the middle of Duji? Shangguan Xiu said in a calm tone: Duji is a place where grain is produced, and it is not surprising that the Ningnan army occupies most of Duji's area and collects grain from all over the country, but Duji does not produce firearms, artillery, or ammunition, so where do the weapons and ammunition of the Ningnan army come from after all?

This...... This...... Shi Xiao was speechless when asked, and didn't know how to answer, the connection between Du Ji and Ningnan had been completely cut off by the Feng Army, and Du Ji himself did not produce weapons and ammunition, but the Ningnan Army in Du Ji had never shown a shortage of weapons and ammunition, so the question was, after nearly a year of fierce fighting, how could the weapons and ammunition of the Ningnan people still be so sufficient, as if they would never run out.

You don't know?, Shangguan Xiu asked.

Small...... Weichen doesn't know, this ...... This is a negligence on the part of Wechen...... Shi Xiao stammered.

Shangguan Xiu smiled, laughed angrily, and said: The two armies are fighting, but where does the enemy's logistical supply come from, and you don't even know at all, as the commander of the army, how can the mistakes made by a single sentence of negligence be compensated?

This...... This...... When General Sheng was there......

Old General Sheng has already passed away, could it be that General Wei wants to blame the head of the deceased veteran for his negligence? Shangguan Xiu's tone became cold, and the cold light flashing in his eyes could almost freeze an elephant to death.

Where did the supply of the Ningnan Army come from, Sheng Zhai didn't think about this problem when he was alive, Shi Xiao who took over from him didn't think about this problem, and Luo Ren after that didn't think about it either.

In fact, this problem was not a problem at all in the early stage of the war, the Ningnan people had a million troops in Duji, and the number of weapons and ammunition hoarded in Duji would definitely not be small, and the Ningnan army had enough ammunition on the battlefield, which was normal.

However, the war has been fought for a year, and the weapons and ammunition of the Ningnan army are still in sufficient condition, which is too abnormal, and it was not a problem before, but now it has become a crucial issue, which is directly related to the life and death of the Ningnan army.
