Chapter 353: Meritorious Service for Guilt
When he heard that Wang Rong was about to personally lead the Wuwei army south to conquer Yizhou, Huang Fujian and Chu Kun glanced at each other, got up and walked out, came to the open space in the middle, and saluted Wang Rong at the top.
Huang Fujian spoke first: "Your Majesty, half of the veterans of the Martial Guards have been dispersed to various armies and become lieutenant generals, making half of the Martial Guards recruits, and they have only been trained for less than half a year, so it is still difficult to form combat effectiveness, is it inappropriate to send the Armed Guards to fight now?"
As soon as Huang Fujian's words fell, Chu Kun then spoke: "Your Majesty, the so-called gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, the battlefield soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and the king is the national fortune of the Tang Kingdom, so he should not speak lightly about the royal conquest."
Wang Rong looked at the two ministers, shook his head, and said with a smile, "This is really where you have lost something. Mr. Huangfu, Mr. Chu. I was not born to be honorable and noble, and I was able to get to this position today, which I killed step by step. To put it mildly, there are thousands of corpses under this throne, the corpses of my Tang Dynasty soldiers, and the corpses of the enemy. Therefore, please two of you, and please don't persuade you to persuade you again, there is no room for negotiation in the matter of the royal conquest."
Chu Kun glanced at Huang Fujian expressionlessly, and returned to his seat without saying a word. Huang Fujian smiled bitterly, so he had to bow to Wang Rong and return to his seat.
Wang Rong stood up, walked to the table, stood on the steps, and said to the officials in the palace, "The Armed Guards are in order! Tomorrow!"
Wang Mao and other officers of the Armed Guards stood up and saluted, "Oh! The last general commands!"
Under the early dynasty, it was just five o'clock in the morning, the reason why the early dynasty was so short was that Wang Rong requested, there were meetings every day, how could there be so many new things, and Wang Rong didn't like long speeches, obviously it could be explained in a few words, why do you have to say hundreds of words, and most of them are nonsense.
When Wang Rong came to the East Hall of the Taiji Palace, Zhang Pu surprisingly did not go down to the court as usual and ran to the Military Medical Department of the Tai Hospital, and also came to the East Hall.
Wang Rong leaned back on the chair, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, this expedition was a key battle for the Tang army. If you win, you will be connected into a piece of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and you will achieve the momentum of Qin and Northern Zhou, and if you lose, you will be trapped by Cao Wei and Western Wei.
At this time, Wang Rong heard Zhang Pu's voice: "You want to personally lead the troops to the battle?"
Wang Rong looked up at Zhang Pu who was standing in front of him, smiled, and said, "Yes, this Li Song, as the head of the Li family in Shu County, is indeed capable, originally after the death of the puppet emperor Qin Mu, I thought that Bashu would be completely chaotic. Unexpectedly, this Li Song insisted on stabilizing the Bashu puppet court with his own strength, and Bashu only messed up one or two counties, and the basic market was in Li Song's hands."
Zhang Pu did not understand military affairs, but he also knew the importance of Hanzhong County to the Tang State. She sat down, stretched out her hand to cover Wang Rong's hand, her expression was gentle, and her bright eyes made people feel happy, and said, "Husband, don't worry about leading troops to the battle, with me, this Chang'an City, this Tang Kingdom, can't be chaotic."
Wang Rong nodded and said, "I will leave Xiaojiewei behind, every soldier of Xiaojiewei is a material that can be a regimental general and a brigade commander, with them in hand, Chang'an has changed, and you can deal with it calmly."
"But ......"
Wang Rong raised his hand and pressed his index finger on Zhang Pu's lips, stopping the latter's next words, Wang Rong said seriously: "Among the thousands of troops, even if the Xiaojie army is all warriors like King Qin Wu and Xiang Yu, it is useless, it is better to let them follow you in Chang'an."
At this time, the commander of the arrest division walked in and saluted the two of them, "I have seen the king and the queen, and the king is healthy and the queen is healthy."
Wang Rong waved his hand and said, "Excuse me, you were also there in the early dynasty, I am about to drive the royal expedition, the Wuwei army leaves Chang'an, the bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods in Chang'an City should jump out, you know what to do, I won't tell you, I only ask for one thing, the palace city and the imperial city can't be messed up, the queen can't afford to lose, can you do it?"
Wang Ji looked at Wang Rong and Zhang Pu, and gave a military salute: "Please rest assured, the king, anyone who wants to hurt the queen must step on the bones of the minister."
Wang Rong nodded with satisfaction, after arranging the affairs of Chang'an City, it is necessary to arrange the upcoming battle. Zhang Pu got up and left and went to the military medical office. Wang Hui returned to the Arrest Division
to start assigning tasks.
Wang Rong met with the generals of the Wuwei Army and the fifth commander of the Jinyi Command of the Detective Department in the East Hall, and the East Hall was also placed on the sand table of Guanzhong, Hanzhong and Bashu by the Xiaojiewei.
Wang Rong's first order was the fifth candidate, he looked at the latter, and said, "Fifth, the First Army was defeated this time, and the Detective Affairs Department failed to detect Li Song's movements in advance, which is your dereliction of duty."
The fifth candidate bowed his head and saluted, admitting his mistake: "The minister is guilty, and the minister admits punishment."
Wang Rong shook his head and said, "I didn't say it to punish you, but to make you guilty and make meritorious service. At the beginning of its establishment, the purpose of the Department was to reconnoiter the enemy's intelligence, including the preferences of the enemy's generals, the strengths and weaknesses of the enemy's generals, the situation of the enemy's non-commissioned officers, the movements of the enemy's troops, the enemy's equipment, and the enemy's grain and grass.
Fifth, this time it is me, it is the Wuwei Army, and it is a battle of fate turning point for the Tang Army, whether our Tang Dynasty can develop in the future and whether it can dominate the mountains and rivers depends on whether this battle can be won. I know the Detective Division won't let me down, right?"
The fifth candidate hurriedly said, "The minister promises that the Detective Department will never disappoint the king, so the minister will go and urge the officers of the Detective Division to investigate the enemy's intelligence."
After the fifth candidate finished speaking, he turned around and left to go to the official office of the Detective Division. Wang Rong turned his head to look at the generals of the Wuwei Army, and said with a smile: "You also know about the things in the early dynasty, Mr. Huangfu said that most of the Wuwei Army is a new soldier, and their combat strength is worrying, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist Li Song, what do you think?"
Wang Yan's face turned red, and he said angrily: "Mr. Huangfu looks down on people too much, the new soldiers of the Wuwei Army have been training for four months, even if it is cold and snowy, they still practice diligently, and their combat strength has long been restored."
Zhang Yunshu glanced at Wang Yu, and blamed in his heart: This An Lan is too full of words. Then he said to Wang Rong, "Your Majesty, the Military Division has set up a marching and military division in each army, and the marching and military division in the armed guard army is led by the minister himself."
Wang Rong listened to Zhang Yunshu's words, nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Wang Hao, "I hope that Wu Weijun will not disappoint me as you said. Let's all go down and prepare, and start tomorrow."
After dealing with government affairs for a day, Wang Rong returned to the Ganlu Palace, at this time Zhang Pu had already waited, and when he saw Wang Rong who was tired, he looked distressed and hurriedly stepped forward to serve. Wang Rong looked at the dinner that had already been put on the table, smiled, and said, "Today's dinner is very rich."
It is indeed very rich, there are six dishes, and it is usually four dishes. Among the six dishes, there is also a roast goose and a dish of pork belly, which is an exception.
Zhang Pu said with a smile: "You will go out tomorrow, and I don't know what the army will eat after the expedition, so I will make an exception today and let the king have a good meal."
Wang Rong smiled, finished dinner with Zhang Pu, and then went to the courtyard to practice horse lance for a while, and returned to the warm pavilion to sleep with his queen in his arms.
