Chapter 371: Just Fight It's Done
This......
Tang Tingbai looked at Mulan, Ma Chao and Guan Yu with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
Everyone else likes power, and they all want more power in their hands.
But Tang Tingbai also knew that these three people were indeed limited in ability.
Let them command an army of two or three hundred thousand, which is more than enough, but an army of eight hundred thousand, they do have some more than enough heart and strength.
After all, even in history, Guan Yu and Ma Chao have never commanded hundreds of thousands of troops.
And Mulan's history seems to have commanded fewer armies.
Tang Tingbai touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
After a long time, Tang Tingbai raised his head: "Everyone, since Guan Yu, Ma Chao and Hua Mulan have all said that they feel that they are not capable of managing 800,000 troops, what about the rest of you?" ”
This......
After listening to Tang Tingbai's words, everyone looked at each other and did not speak.
Obviously, they don't feel that way.
After all, Lu Bu, Meng Tian, Li Xin, and Su Lie, any of them in their dynasty were all existences that had commanded hundreds of thousands of troops and had rich experience.
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Tang Tingbai looked at Guan Yu, Ma Chao, and Hua Mulan again.
"I'm going to set up a group army, the three of you will be the deputy commanders, and I'll send you a top boss, how about it?"
The three nodded in unison.
Even Guan Yu smiled directly: "Your Majesty, is it really?" Will the pressure on the subordinates be much less? ”
Ma Chao and Hua Mulan also nodded hurriedly.
In fact, it's not that they don't want to make progress, but they really want to work hard, but even if they try their best, their ability is still insufficient.
"If a group army is formed, then the commander of this group army will probably have to be a big man, right?"
"Now the biggest people in our Dayan army are sitting here, and it is estimated that the commander of this group army should be chosen among these army commanders."
"And who do you say it should be?"
"Commander Lu Bu is outstandingly capable, and he is also highly respected, Captain Huang Zhong is not bad, he is also very suitable, and his military merits are enough."
"Well, that's right, if you say so, Guiguzi is also suitable, Guiguzi's command ability is the strongest among our various army commanders, and even Lu Bu and Su Lie are willing to bow down."
"General Ben thinks that the position of this commander must be the emperor, otherwise who would dare to sit?"
“……”
Everyone talked about it, and they were all curious about who the position of the commander of this legion was.
And Lu Bu and Huang Zhong had wry smiles on their faces.
In fact, commanding an army of 800,000 is already a little overwhelming for them.
How is it possible to command three legions and two million troops?
They really can't do it.
Of course, if Tang Tingbai insisted that they be the commander of this group army, they would not dare to refuse, after all, they also knew in their hearts that the current Dayan did not have any high-level generals available.
This is also a disadvantage of Dayan's development.
The development is too fast, and it doesn't even give the local generals the opportunity and time to grow.
Tang Tingbai was the first to look at Lu Bu: "Fengxian, this legion, I will hand it over to you, how about it?" ”
What?
Listening to Tang Tingbai's words, Lu Bu's face changed, and he hurriedly stood up, picked up his wine glass, and his face was full of smiles: "Hehe, father-in-law, we are our own family, can you pit me, manage the 800,000 brothers of the First Army, the child's time is obviously not enough now, and he doesn't even have time to go home. ”
Lu Bu is very smart, he naturally likes power, but he really doesn't have that ability.
Tang Tingbai nodded, but he didn't force it.
In fact, Tang Tingbai's target was not Lu Bu, the reason why he asked this was because he didn't want to make the hearts of other generals unhappy.
Although he is the emperor, Tang Tingbai still cares about their emotions for these brothers who follow him to fight on the battlefield.
Tang Tingbai looked at Huang Zhong and Zhou Yu again.
Huang Zhong waved his hand again and again, and his face was full of wry smiles: "Your Majesty, you better let your subordinates go, your subordinates are old and want to live a few more years." ”
And Zhou Yu was a little excited, he wanted to agree, but now managing 800,000 sailors is not a small pressure for him.
Zhou Yu felt that managing a million troops should be just right for him.
But once a group army is formed, it means that at least three or even four army corps will be millions of people, which is not easy to manage.
Zhou Yu also smiled bitterly and waved his hand.
Immediately afterwards, Tang Tingbai looked at Meng Tian, Li Xin, Su Lie and others.
Everyone waved their hands in unison, obviously if even Lu Bu and Huang Zhong refused, those of them who had been with Tang Tingbai for a short time would not dare to agree.
As for Guiguzi drinking by himself, Guiguzi had said more than once before that now Dayan Dragons rode an army of 500,000 just right.
And Xiang Yu is not suitable, he is a peerless general, but he is not an excellent commander.
Seeing that everyone had refused, Tang Tingbai sighed helplessly, and he looked at the young man sitting next to Zhao Yun: "This brother, why haven't I seen it?" ”
Obviously, Tang Tingbai was knowingly asking.
Zhao Yun hurriedly stood up: "Your Majesty, this is one of the four deputy military seats of my Fourth Army, Han Xin, who uses soldiers like a god, and in terms of commanding and fighting battles, even his subordinates are ashamed of themselves." ”
Oh?
Tang Tingbai looked at Han Xin.
And Han Xin also hurriedly stood up and bowed slightly: "Subordinate Han Xin, meet the emperor, long live my emperor, long live!" ”
Everyone also looked at Han Shin.
There are certainly no fools who can sit here.
They all knew in their hearts that since the emperor had called Han Xin, it was estimated that Han Xin was going to soar.
They all felt that the position of the commander of this group army should be Zhao Yun's, and Zhao Yun left, and the position of the fourth army's military seat was vacant, and it should be this Han Xin's.
Tang Tingbai looked at Han Xin with a smile: "Han Xin, you also heard what you said just now, a group army with three legions, 2.4 million people, who do you think is suitable to be this commander?" ”
This......
Han Xin hesitated, he raised his head and looked at Tang Tingbai.
He wanted to speak, but he didn't dare to speak.
In this way, after a few minutes, Han Xin lowered his head again: "My subordinates don't know." ”
In fact, Han Xin was originally going to recommend himself.
After all, he is too clear about his own strength and has confidence in himself.
However, just now Han Xin thought about it, even if he said it, the emperor would definitely not agree.
After all, he is not well-known, and he has not fought against other generals, so he does not know their strength.
Besides, even if you are ranked by seniority, you don't have your own qualifications.
So, Han Xin didn't speak.
Seeing that Han Xin had been silent for a long time and didn't even speak, Tang Tingbai was a little curious.
"Han Xin, is this the answer you have been muttering for several minutes? I am not satisfied with your answer, I am very dissatisfied, I want you to answer again, say what is in your heart, how about it? ”
This......
Han Xin was stunned for a moment, looking at Tang Tingbai with some surprise, and his heart was full of shock and even a trace of panic.
Because what did the emperor mean just now?
Don't...... Could it be that the emperor saw what he really thought in his heart?
But it's impossible, absolutely impossible.
Han Xin sighed, since the emperor asked him to tell his true thoughts, he didn't dare to hide it.
He bowed slightly towards Tang Tingbai: "Emperor Qi, if you recommend one person, your subordinates will recommend yourself, which is very arrogant, but your subordinates have the confidence to manage it well, command an army of 2.4 million, and their subordinates think that they are Dayan, and only two people can manage these armies well, one is the commander of the Guiguzi Army, and the other is the subordinate." ”
After speaking, Han Xin bowed to all the legion commanders, and his voice was apologetic: "You legion commanders are really sorry, whether it is qualifications or military merits, they are not as good as you, but just now it is the true thoughts of the subordinates, and I ask you to forgive me." ”
Tang Tingbai smiled and did not speak.
And the eyes of many legion commanders looking at Han Xin were different.
There is appreciation, there is sneering, and there is disdain.
Lu Bu walked to Han Xin's side and patted Han Xin's shoulder heavily: "Haha, Han Xin, Ben General has heard of your name before, you are very good to destroy 100,000 enemies with 3,000 people, and you kid is very courageous, do a good job, Ben will be optimistic about you." ”
Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun also said a few words of cheering to Han Xin.
And Zhou Yu sneered: "Hmph, Han Xin, right?" You're very courageous, but you're just a mere deputy commander, so you shouldn't be qualified, right? ”
Han Xin smiled and did not speak.
At this time, Tang Tingbai spoke, and his tone was calm.
"Han Xin, I also admire your courage, but if I want to see your ability, you must prove your ability to me and to all the legion commanders."
"In this way, early tomorrow morning, I will set up a martial arts exercise platform in the camp of the First Army."
"More than a dozen of your corps commanders, including Han Xin, must participate, each corps commander commands a thousand captured soldiers to fight to the death, whoever can fight to the end is the commander of this group army."
"In addition, if he can become the commander of the group army, I will directly crown him as the king of Dayan County, with 200 million taels of silver and 200 beauties."
What???
Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.
Even Lu Bu and Huang Zhong, who don't want to be the commander of the group army, are already tempted now.
It's not because he can command an army of 2.4 million people, but because he won the title of King Dayan County, you must know that Dayan's strength is getting stronger and stronger, and the gold content of King Dayan County is getting higher and higher, which is to glorify the ancestors, and it is also for the benefit of future generations.
For example, Lu Bu, if he gets a hereditary county king, even if his descendants are not angry, he will be able to rely on the title of the king of Dayan County, and he will have no worries about food and clothing.
Tang Tingbai exempted the benefits of the princes and princes of the Dayan royal family, but the titles with different surnames were not exempted.
Tang Tingbai picked up his wine glass and looked at everyone: "Okay, let's go to the prisoner camp to choose soldiers, and tomorrow morning, I will personally supervise the battle." ”
