Chapter 011: The Battle of Command

"Lord, is it defeat or annihilation?"

"Crush! Defeat, of course. "Liu Bei is sure to repeat it, because the difficulty of annihilation is incomparable.

"I want to try." The monkey continued.

Everyone was amazed. A little prison boy has such a big talk. Although this county officer used to be a military commander, he was not as good as the three major captains in terms of rank and rank, and even worse than Zhu Jinlong in terms of combat experience. But Liu Bei unexpectedly affirmed: "Captain Gongsun, from now on, your department will be under the command of the monkey, and you will be the deputy general." ”

"Forgive the humble duty and cannot be ordered!" Gongsun Yue can obey any orders of the new commander, but he will never allow child's play with the white horse, let alone joke with the lives of his knights. Because he bet that the monkey did not have the ability to lead his headquarters to victory in a difficult battle.

"If that's the case, Ben Shuai can only take back your captain's golden seal." Liu Bei said coldly, with an inviolable majesty. As the commander, if he can't even suppress a small captain, he, the commander, will want to command this cavalry unit that is threatening Donghu.

"Your commander is only temporarily sealed by my brother, what right do you have to remove the lieutenant's officer." Gongsun Yue was not angry. Because he is the younger brother of Gongsun Zhan, there is no one in the barracks. For Liu Bei, the young new commander, he was unconvinced from the bottom of his heart. If it weren't for Gongsun Zhan's instructions three times and twice, he would not have appeared here at all, obeying Liu Bei's command.

However, Liu Bei's first principle of governing the army is to abide by military discipline, do what he says, and do what he does. If an order issued by a commander can be arbitrarily refuted by his subordinates, then it is not the commander's turn to lead the army. But he did not immediately carry out the order of recall. In order to unite this force as much as possible, he can tolerate the rudeness of his subordinates, and he can also give his subordinates a chance to correct their mistakes. So he said, "Monkey, tell me about your battle strategy." ”

He believed that the monkey would be able to come up with a strategy that no one in the room could think of, including himself. As for the nature of monkeys, he learned something about them last year. It is the character of the monkey.

"It's the lord. The white wolf tribe uses 'wolf' as a totem, which not only indicates their courage in battle, but also shows their combat characteristics. It is to conduct a lot of enemy reconnaissance before the action like a wolf. Therefore, the most effective and direct way to defeat them is to use their proud pre-war reconnaissance methods to lure them into a trap. Once in the set, even if there are 300,000 troops, it will definitely collapse. ”

The monkey did not hesitate to explain, and everyone nodded yes when they heard it.

"This is the theory of operations, and you didn't mention half a word about the specific method of decoy." Gongsun Yue noticed the loopholes in the other party's words and quickly counterattacked. Everyone seemed to be persuaded by him at this moment.

The monkey couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and it seemed that he regretted being competitive in his heart, and rushed to win this opportunity to make contributions. But he felt that he had this ability, not a momentary hot-headedness nor blind arrogance. But he is not good at rhetoric, and in the face of other people's naked attacks, he can't think of better ideas. If he usually speaks, he can come up with a way with a roll of his eyes. In the face of the military, he is not a man of words.

Looking at the monkey's expression, Liu Bei said: "There are no good things in the world that have arranged all the strategies in advance waiting for us to do. Wars, in particular, are fought in accordance with local conditions and on the spot. The army has not yet set out to fight, so it will arrange every day's actions in the future, do you think it is Zhuge Liang in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? In terms of military affairs, Chairman Mao, whom I admire the most, did not know that he had to go back and forth on both sides of the Chishui River the day before the Great Long March, crossing the Chishui River four times......"

Speaking of which, when I saw everyone's strange expressions, I knew that I had pulled the "future" again. Then he changed his words: "It is a good thing to plan ahead, and think about everything before the war." But that is only theoretical, and when applied to practical operations, it is not feasible. Captain Gongsun, you didn't fight Karasuma once or twice, and you also established a lot of military merits. But when was everything thought out before the war began? ”

Tian Kai, Shan Jing, Zhu Jinlong, and He Jie are generals who have participated in several wars against Donghu, and they do not deny this.

Faced with Liu Bei's sharp questioning, Gongsun Yue was stopped and was speechless for a while. But he would never do it if he surrendered his military power. Because he is Gongsun Zhan's younger brother, Bai Ma Yi was formed by Gongsun Zhan, and there is no reason for his own army to fall into the hands of others.

"It is absolutely impossible to ask this lieutenant to give up the right to send troops!"

Zhang Fei on the side couldn't bear it for a long time. In his heart, the words of the eldest brother are more holy than the holy decree, and no one can disobey them. He couldn't control his urgency now, his eyebrows were stiff, his copper bell's eyes were wide and angry, his body flickered, and before everyone could react, Gongsun Yue had already been captured in the air. "Grandma's! If you don't pay the gold seal, I'll tear it up, and then you can take it yourself! ”

Seeing this, the second general Tian Kai laughed in his heart, Gongsun Yue, Gongsun Yue, you don't have any ability to command the troops, but you just occupy the position of captain, you deserve it! I usually ride on my head as a prestige, but now I finally meet my nemesis. It's so relieving!

Liu Bei was not in a hurry to let Zhang Fei stop, and said slowly: "Captain Gongsun, I believe that you should hear what Lord Zhonglang said very clearly. If you don't have a good memory, you can ask the two captains of Tiandan to repeat it. ”

After hearing this, he couldn't wait to humiliate Gongsun Yue in order to repay the hatred of taking the horse in the sun. "Lord Zhonglang has repeatedly stated that Commander Liu is the new commander of our army and has complete command and appointment rights. Even if you are the younger brother of Lord Zhonglang, you can't violate military orders and treat military discipline as nothing. The last sentence is what Shan Jing wants to say the most, although Shan Jing Tian Kai has a calm expression at this moment, he is actually smiling in his heart.

"A horseman, what is the ability to be the commander of my elite division." Gongsun Yue was caught and couldn't move, and roared anxiously.

Liu Bei wanted to laugh and sighed that he finally told the truth. It suddenly occurred to me that there must be a lot of soldiers who supported Gongsun Yue's idea. Therefore, before setting out on the expedition, it is necessary to solve this problem in order to unite the morale of the army, otherwise leading such an army with different intentions to go out on the expedition will inevitably hinder the development of the real combat effectiveness of the troops.

Liu Bei said angrily: "You are right. If the other soldiers also think the same way, the commander will resign from the post of commander-in-chief. ”

Under the scorching afternoon sun, all the white horse volunteers gathered in the school yard in a procession.

Gongsun Yue stood on the platform and shouted to the knights in the audience: "Brothers. Our White Horse Yicong is the most elite unit of all the Han cavalry. Naturally, our commander must be the best of the generals in the whole Han army. There is no doubt that Nakaro-sama is the best general. Nakaro-sama led us to defeat Karasuma without a single defeat. Now, we've got a different manager. Who is he? It's the hairy young man behind the captain. He has no officials, no lords, and no talents, you say, do we agree? ”

The matter of changing the commander has spread widely in the army, causing great dissatisfaction. Because they are extremely supportive of Gongsun Zhan, and the new commander in exchange for him is a "little white face" who is about the same age as himself, beardless, handsome and has no achievements, which is an intolerable shortcoming for an army that pays attention to seniority. Now I heard Gongsun Yue, one of the three captains, lighting a fire, and there was immediately a disturbance in the school grounds.

"Brothers, we don't need to change the coach, let's go to Jicheng with the captain to welcome back Lord Zhonglang."

Gongsun Yue roared, and proudly jumped off the platform, and the knights of the other tribes followed him. Although the two Tiandan divisions did not leave with the soldiers, they had already caused a great impact in the hearts of the knights.

Faced with this scene, He Jie was anxious, how could the situation develop to this point? The second general Tian Dan even lamented that the army's heart had been dispersed, and this battle could not be fought. However, Liu Bei still stood in the middle of the generals in the Dianjiangtai like no one, with a calm expression. After several storms, he naturally didn't pay attention to this change. He gave Jian Yong a look, and Jian Yong immediately signaled to Zhu Jinlong, and took a few steps forward.

"Brothers, please listen to Zhu Jinlong's words!"

Because of Zhu Jinlong's exploits in shooting Ha Xiao, he has become a national hero in the eyes of the soldiers. His words silenced everyone, and the soldier who was about to leave suddenly stopped and looked back. The army is like this, whoever has deep qualifications and who has made outstanding achievements in war will be sincerely loved by the soldiers.

"Brothers, I can understand your feelings. Here, I would like to introduce you to a celebrity, Mr. Jian Yongjian of Zhuojun. Please give him a pillar of incense, and he will choose a good commander for us. Zhu Jinlong felt that this was the best rhetoric he had said in his life.

Because of Zhu Jinlong's statement, all the soldiers were looking forward to the speech of the little-known Mr. Jane.

The first thing Jian Yong said when he stepped forward was: "I am disgusted with this new commander!" These words immediately resonated with all the soldiers, and they had a good impression of them in their hearts, and began to get serious.

"He was white, and although he looked a little majestic, it made me think that it was in vain. I hate people who tend to be like this. No matter how knowledgeable and talented he is, at most he is a strategist, how can he be qualified to be the commander of our elite army? We are the army of tigers and wolves, how can we let the sheep take the lead? I was the first to refuse. So, I'd like to ask another person here to be our new leader. ”

With these words, there was another slight commotion on the school ground.

"I won't name the new commander for now. Let's talk about his life experience and achievements first. He is a descendant of the royal family, after King Jing of Zhongshan, the beloved disciple of the former Shangshu Lu Zhi, Zou Jing, the marquis of the Northern Army, saw his first meeting and was recorded as a military marquis, and a few days later he was promoted to the captain of Shangtun for his military exploits. He guarded Zhuo City, saved Fang City, and prevented the Yellow Turban rebels from advancing northward, so that millions of people in Youzhou were exempted from the invasion of war. He, with a thousand horsemen, rushed thousands of miles, went deep into the Yellow Turban Fall Area, and beat Zhang Liang's traitors at a loss. Immediately afterwards, he led the iron cavalry under his command and went straight to the Yellow Turban million position......"

"Liu Xuande!"

"Liu Xuande!"

Jian Yong's speech was interrupted and drowned out by one shout after another. The whole school was full of shouts of "Liu Xuande". Because the main battlefield of the Yellow Turban Rebellion is not in Youzhou, but Liu Bei, an important figure in pacifying the rebellion, is a native of Youzhou, which is something that all Youzhou military and political circles are proud of. And Liu Bei's deeds are already well-known.

Gongsun Yue at the gate of the camp was shocked when he saw this momentum, and he never thought that Liu Bei would have such prestige in the army. Secretly sighed that this time it was planted.

Jian Yong finally motioned for everyone to be quiet. "Are you willing to ask Liu Xuande to be our new commander?"

"Yes! Willing! The voice was strong and clear, and all the soldiers were shouting, including the knights of Gongsun Yue's headquarters.

"Don't you mind that Liu Xuande is a cloth cloth without any official position?"

"Don't mind!"

"Don't you mind if Liu Xuande doesn't have any titles?"

"Don't mind!"

"Okay, I'll do what you wish, please come out of the Han Emperor Liu Xuande." Jian Yong respectfully walked up to Liu Bei, made a gesture, and then shouted to the audience: "This is Liu Xuande!" ”
