Chapter 31: Commander of King Qin's army
In the past, it was understandable that things were self-defeating, but what is the situation now?
Who can stand this?
In the future, this early morning will not be able to go up again.
Prone to heart disease.
Every time I go to the morning court, I throw a bomb at myself, and if I go on for a long time, I will at least be called a martyr.
When the eunuch finished reading the announcement, Emperor Great Wei took a deep look at Zhao Changqing, and seeing that he was silent, he gradually had a less mature plan in his heart.
I received a secret report this morning that the troops of the three provinces of Huainan Dao, Jiannan Dao, and Longyou Dao have all arrived in the capital, and it is expected that they will be able to set up camp outside the city this evening.
With Xiao Yuming's Jiangnan Provincial Army, a total of 300,000 soldiers from four provinces have arrived, so the danger of the capital is completely lifted.
In addition to these four armies, Lingnan Dao and 'Shu Dao' did not send large armies over, because they had to closely guard against the invasion of the Nanban land.
"Ladies and gentlemen, yesterday's battle greatly frustrated the enemy's spirit, and meritorious officials must be rewarded, but what I mean is that after the battle with the Chu army, the meritorious deeds will be rewarded in a unified manner, what do you think?"
Emperor Wei said in a deep voice.
None of the civil and military officials objected, and they all agreed.
The emperor said again: "Go outside the city and ask General Xiao Yuming to come over." ”
The eunuch beside him moved when he heard the sound.
After about two cups of tea, Xiao Yuming was invited to the Chongde Palace.
After seeing Xiao Yuming, the Great Wei Emperor said directly: "Aiqing defeated the Chu army yesterday, and the prestige of our Wei army is indispensable.
Now, the army of King Qin has arrived, but the dragons cannot be leaderless, I don't know about the army, I can't command the three armies, General Xiao thinks, who can take the responsibility of leading the army?"
Emperor Wei now only hopes that Xiao Yuming will not be stupid, his own words, anyone with a brain can guess, after the words I don't want you to be the leader of King Qin's army, you better not recommend yourself, otherwise it will be easy to provoke me.
It would be better to say that it is up to the Holy to decide.
In this way, he can also achieve his reputation as an open-minded and good listener in the decision of this matter, and everyone will be happy.
The most important thing is that if something goes wrong, you can still shake the pot.
But Xiao Yuming didn't think about it so much, even if he thought too much, he didn't think about it in that direction, "Back to Your Majesty, there is indeed a candidate for the last general, who can take the position of the commander of King Qin's army."
This person is His Royal Highness the Great Prince!"
Emperor Dawei frowned slightly after hearing this, why did he and I want to go together? Didn't he still think about the emperor when he first came to the capital yesterday? Why did he suddenly change his mind today?
Could it be that the emperor secretly colluded with Xiao Yuming?
If this is the case, the emperor can't help but be too anxious, right? It is not a good thing to wantonly develop party henchmen!
After hearing Xiao Yuming's answer, all the ministers also showed their surprised side, yesterday they came to this Chongde Palace, and slandered the eldest prince in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, why did they speak to the eldest prince today?
This change of face is faster than flipping through a book!
If a military general learns to compromise, he will be more politically engaged than a civilian official.
Leave Zhao Changqing alone.
After hearing Xiao Yuming's words, he was naturally very confused.
I was so confused that I couldn't close my mouth.
Let me be the commander of the army of King Qin, is this serious?
Looking at Xiao Yuming's serious expression, it should be serious, right?
Isn't he afraid that I will pit the army of King Qin?
What's the idea in your stomach?
It's not going to trick me, is it?
After Xiao Yuming saw the surprised expressions of the civil and military officials, he explained seriously: "The last general asked His Royal Highness the Great Prince to serve as the commander of King Qin's army, which was actually carefully considered. It was also written in the battle report submitted by the last general that if it were not for the precautionary measures of His Royal Highness the Grand Prince yesterday, the enemy's conspiracy would have succeeded.
And His Highness's plan for a rainy day is to let the last general camp outside the city, and His Highness uses the enemy's head hanging on the north gate as bait to lure the enemy army into the full set of our army step by step, so as to have yesterday's great victory!
In terms of the ability to use troops, including the last general, the entire Wei State, I am afraid that no one can compare with His Royal Highness. If His Royal Highness is not allowed to be the commander of the three armies, who can still do it if you ask the Manchu Dynasty civil and military?"
The emotions revealed in Xiao Yuming's words were all admiration for Zhao Changqing.
And Zhao Changqing is even more confused.
He really didn't understand what Xiao Yuming was talking about.
Do not understand.
I really don't understand.
But I heard a general meaning.
This Xiao Yuming is also a licking dog?
Hiss!
No, you can't kill the licking dog.
The last time I killed that licking dog, I killed the wrong one!
This time you can't kill anything!
Gotta get closer to him!
Such people have to keep them for their own use!
Maybe he is the same as the last time he 'wrongly killed' the original thing, a corrupt official?
In this way, it is simply wonderful!
After hearing Xiao Yuming's explanation, the only remaining doubts in their hearts have been relieved, to be honest, they have already agreed with the ability of the eldest prince.
After all, the successive victories in recent days have all come from the handiwork of the eldest prince.
Moreover, when the national disaster is at the head, if you don't let those who have the ability to go to it, do you still let yourself go to it? Why do you want to go up to the difficulty? This is tantamount to looking for death!
Even though a few princes were uncomfortable.
But in the face of major rights and wrongs, they still carry it lightly.
What's more, Xiao Yuming's proposal is strongly supported by Li Ziyuan, who has never given people the impression of forming a party for personal gain, so that no one will oppose it.
Emperor Wei didn't think much about it, even if the eldest prince wanted to win over Xiao Yuming, it didn't matter, the current war was tense, and any partisan disputes should be put aside, not to mention that even if Xiao Yuming decided to follow the eldest prince, he was still his own person, just obey his own command.
"Emperor, what do you think of General Xiao's proposal?"
Originally, Emperor Wei thought that Zhao Changqing would shirk one or two like the last time he defended the city, but who knew that what he promised this time was so refreshing, "Father Qi, now that the Chu army is coming to the city, the national disaster is at the head, and the ministers are willing to come forward, lead the army of the king of Qin, and fight to the death with the enemy!"
No wonder he was so happy this time because he figured it out.
Things have developed to this point, according to the practice of defending the city last time, no matter how he shirks it, the position of commander of the army of the king of all walks of life will have to fall on his head.
In that case, why not accept it?
With this power to control the high-ranking positions of the army, is it not easy to defeat the country?
And it's commanding a large corps to fight!
It's exciting to think about!
No matter what, this time, I will do everything I can, and I will pit the army of the Qinwang from all walks of life to death, and none of them will be able to escape!
I'd rather be responsible for the world, and stop teaching the world to bear me!
Cao Cao's words in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms are simply absolute, I like him so much, I love him to death.
After figuring out all the advantages brought by this position, he felt that he was duty-bound, but after figuring it out, he still had a question, why did Xiao Yuming suddenly lick me so much?
Whatever happens to me, you can arrange the merit on my head!
This ability to lick the dog is really breathtaking, and the licking is so natural and so quiet!
Admire!
The Emperor nodded, he was now a little blindly trusting his eldest son.
No way, who let this be their own son?
My son is so good, it will be very stressful to be a father!
Happy.
There is no need to bother with the Chu army with staring eyes.
Seeing that the eldest son swore so much, he should be completely sure that he could repel the Chu army, right?
When the time comes, he will send Zhong Qiu to blackmail Chu Guo.
It's just not too cool.
In the future, a hundred years later, when I mention this battle, I should automatically ignore the defeat and not blame me, right?
So, in this way, I am also a master of Zhongxing?
Happy.
Having a good son is great.
"Okay, my son took the initiative to share worries for the country, and I am very relieved. From now on, Zhao Changqing, the prince of Feng, will be the commander of the army of the king of Qin, leading the three armies to fight against the Chu army. ”
At this point, this early dynasty is over.
Zhao Changqing didn't have time to ask Xiao Yuming why he licked himself so suddenly.
He had to go home and think about how to fight a few defeats next, and play them naturally.
After all, the current top priority is still mediocre!
At the same time, in the big tent of the Chu army, Xiang Nantian woke up.
There was only one deputy marshal Lin Kun beside him at the moment.
"How is the morale of the three armies now?" Xiang Nantian asked.
Lin Kun said with a difficult face: "It's not good, individual soldiers are very emotional, and there is a risk of getting out of control." ”
Xiang Nantian nodded palely, "I expected it." This time it's all my fault, it's my carelessness. I didn't expect the prince of Wei to be so good at using strange weapons and studying mental techniques. ”
"Marshal, what should we do next? According to the report of the spies, the armies of all Qinwang of the Wei State have arrived today, and I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to fight this battle!" Although Lin Kun is the deputy marshal, he has already begun to retreat.
In this battle, the Chu State has already reaped enough benefits, and using the land seized by the Wei State can be well negotiated with them, which is definitely beneficial and harmless.
And these days, after several major defeats, the Chu army has been damaged, and the morale of the army has been damaged.
However, Xiang Nantian, who was the commander-in-chief, was unwilling to withdraw from the army, "What are you afraid of? Even if all the troops of King Qin of Wei arrived, there would be only more than 300,000 soldiers in battle, and most of the local soldiers would not be able to fight and be vulnerable.
What's more, Wei is in the south of the barbarians, and when I repair a book, you send someone to send it to the barbarian leader, I am equivalent to him uniting to attack Wei, and I am afraid that the big thing will be unpredictable?"
Lin Kun asked, "Barbarian, will you agree to our request?"
Xiang Nantian smiled with difficulty: "This is not to ask them to send troops, but to suggest that they carve up the territory of Wei together, I heard that the area south of the Wei River is very rich, I believe that the barbarians will be moved, in fact, then again, they are not willing to let go of this golden opportunity." ”
"Even so, after several battles with the Wei army, the opponent's great prince has frequent tricks, can we successfully capture the capital?" Lin Kun still has no bottom in his heart, even the generalissimo Xiang Nantian, whom he has always admired, is planted, who else can be the opponent of the great prince in the Chu army now?
Xiang Nantian comforted him and said: "Don't worry, Ben Shuai has fought with this son several times, and he has already figured out his tactics." This man is good at using strange tactics, and in the past, because we despised the enemy, he disdained to use tricks to win, so he chose to fight steadily and steadily.
But this time, we must learn from this lesson and use sophistry to restrain sophistry. Ordered the three armies, first rest and recuperate for two days, and you don't have to do anything for these two days, just do one thing.
That is to constantly arrange secret agents and scouts to explore the situation inside and outside the capital, and I want to detail the layout map of the army of the King of Qin. ”
"Yes, General. Lin Kun responded.
Xiang Nantian suddenly coughed a few times because he talked too much.
Seeing this, Lin Kun couldn't help but sigh.
Xiang Nantian needed to rest, waved his hand at him, and motioned for him to step back.
The next confrontation between Xiang Nantian and Zhao Changqing is slowly kicking off.
