Chapter 825: Boss
The 20,000 dragon army of Xiaowan set off overnight and caught up with the main force of Shulitu at noon the next day.
The people of the Western Regions are high-spirited and do not show fatigue, which is very different from the impression of the soldiers of Beiting in the past.
Dugu Xian arrived earlier, except for the escort Tie Linglong, he didn't even bring his entourage, wearing Beiting-style short clothes, his beard was messy, and his eyes were red, no different from ordinary refugees, so at first almost no one noticed this one-armed general.
The army continued to advance, Dugu Xian quickly washed his face and shaved his face, changed into the clothes of a general, and since then has been following the Dragon King, walking and talking with the military advisor and others.
From this moment on, Dugu Xian attracted attention, and rumors spread, and by the time the army camped in the evening of the same day, his name was already known to many soldiers, and the soldiers were more accustomed to calling him "one-armed man".
"See the way the dragon king talks to him? I've never seen the dragon king so polite to anyone. ”
"How many times have you met the Dragon King?"
"I've seen the Dragon King kill people. ”
His Royal Highness Xiao Wang seemed to recognize this one-armed man, and he was talking and laughing with him. ”
"Well, it is said that he was also a general of the Beiting Army in the past, and later defected to the Dragon King and fought many victories. ”
The battle of the Xiaoyao Sea shook the Western Regions, but the ordinary Beiting soldiers knew little about it, and at this time it was turned out again, and the female soldiers of the country of incense like divine soldiers descended from the sky gradually faded, and Dugu Xian, who commanded the army, quickly appeared.
Gu Shenwei really hoped that he would bring Dugu Xian to the army earlier, a day was too short to make the general famous, and the soldiers' discussion of Dugu Xian was nothing more, everyone regarded him as the general of the Dragon Army, not the commander of the entire army.
Some veterans in the Beiting Army did remember Dugu Xian, one of them was even an official to the commander of Wan, and he spoke highly of his old comrades, and when Shu Litu tentatively suggested that Duguxian be the commander, the commander shook his head directly, "A foreigner? impossible, the officers will not accept orders." ”
This is the situation before the election of the commander that night, Shu Litu was helpless, "No way, the Dragon King has created miracles, but it also has to go through a long run-in, General Dugu...... Can we delay a little longer?"
Gu Shenwei shook his head, the war is imminent, and the selection of the commander must not be delayed any longer.
On the second watch of the night, 60,000 cavalry from Tongtianguan also arrived, and another camp was set up, and the old handsome Mo and Azheba rushed to the Xiaowang military camp, and the first thing was to meet Prince Dotun.
The total army was less than 180,000 people, and the Shulitu army was nearly 90,000, the largest number and the most mixed, including the close servants and the soldiers brought by the surrender of the kings.
There are 20,000 dragon troops, most of whom are from Shule and have little combat experience.
The army of the Xiao Yan clan is 10,000, and it is the superior treatment that makes it famous, not the combat effectiveness.
The 60,000 Dotun army was originally mainly veterans, and they swept through the Shule country and never encountered an opponent.
In the meeting to elect the coach that night, the ones who had the right to speak were Shulitu, Longwang, Xiao Yan and Duo Dun, and more than 30 senior generals such as Fang Wenshi, Dugu Xian, Liman, and Mo Chu were in attendance, and they could only express their opinions when they were named.
Shulitu was the master, so it was he who was the first to speak, "I recommend General Le Thuan." ”
An old general with a dark face nodded silently to everyone.
"General Li Shun followed my grandfather in the southern and northern wars, and he made great achievements, and the old Khan once praised him as the 'Eagle of the Steppe', and he was fully qualified to be the commander of the whole army. ”
There was no objection to Shulitu's introduction, and Li Shun was indeed an excellent general, as he said.
The second speaker was Xiao Yanshi, and she recommended Azheba, "The most famous marksman in Beiting, young and promising, deeply loved by the soldiers, we need such a commander who dares to dare to do things." ”
Azheba is the commander of the thousand, and he is not even qualified to observe the meeting, and there are no generals under the command of the Xiao Yan clan, so her recommendation is more like a strategy, so no one has raised objections.
The remaining two bowed to each other a few times, and Dotun accepted the right of first refusal, "Leave Man." ”
Liman looked serious and nodded to everyone.
Dotun waited for a while before continuing: "Liman has participated in countless wars, when he was a child, he had already followed his father and the king everywhere to fight, some people may say that he has no experience in commanding, but I don't think this is a problem, the so-called tiger father has no dog, where can the son of the old general be sent to? ”
Beiting people value blood, and these words of Dotun are very effective for the generals, and even Li Shun, who was recommended by Shulitu, nodded in agreement, he is a smart man, and he knows that he is a foil like Azheba.
The last to speak was the Dragon King, and everyone looked at him, wondering how he introduced Dugu Xian, a foreigner who suddenly appeared with only one arm.
The right general Shang Liao stayed in Xiaowan Kingdom, and Dugu Xian attended the meeting as the commander of the 20,000 Dragon Army, but he was with the Dragon King all day, and he didn't even recognize all the officers under his command.
Gu Shenwei stood up and didn't directly say the person's name, "Luo Luo is an experienced general, if you want to compete with him, the commander of our army must also be experienced in a hundred battles." ”
This is a matter of course, and all the generals agree, but there is one thing that no one has said: no matter how many battles they have experienced, they will first be approved by the people of Beiting.
Dotun had already prepared a set of rhetoric, he would point out that neither side of the Battle of the Easy Sea was a real professional army, and Duguxian was victorious, but in the eyes of the people of Beiting, that war was not worth mentioning.
Gu Shenwei continued, "The new commander will be in command of multiple armies, so he can't be selfish. ”
Duo Dun smiled: "The Dragon King is too worried, the people of Beiting may have their own personal interests, but when fighting, they have always worked together, we have known since childhood that cooperation can win victory, and fighting separately will only expose flaws to the enemy." ”
With a casual rebuttal, Dotun has limited the selection of the coach to the scope of the North Court.
Gu Shenwei was noncommittal, looking at his face, as if he was about to make a desperate bet, and as if he was ready to admit defeat.
"Mode, I recommend General Moide. ”
The main tent in order was suddenly chaotic, and the generals who were not qualified to speak spoke one after another.
"How can it be ink?"
"Moide is not a subordinate of the Dragon King at all. ”
"This is not ...... reasonable"
But what is unreasonable, no one can say for a while.
Dodun stood up suddenly, his face flushed, as if he was about to have a seizure, and although the little man next to him was also taken aback, he was calmer and motioned for him to sit down.
Shulitu and Fang Wen were aware of it in advance, so they remained silent.
The most astonished person was Mo De himself, who was completely concerned with the attitude of not caring about himself, his eyes were foggy, and he was about to go into a nap state, when he suddenly heard his name, and it came from the mouth of the dragon king, he was really startled, and he raised his head suddenly, and looked around blankly, as if he had just woken up from a nightmare.
Soon, the generals found their gaffe, and they all shut up, and Xiao Yan smiled, "Old General Mode, the Dragon King recommends you to be the commander of the whole army." ”
"What?" said Moide, who couldn't even seem to be able to speak, "I...... I can't, I'm too old......"
"So more experience than Rollo. Gu Shenwei said.
"But I've been a civil servant all these years......"
"Experience will not be lost, the most important thing is that the old Khan King handed over the 70,000 cavalry of the Western Regions to you during his lifetime, and I trust the old Khan King, so I also trust you. ”
The old Khan King handed over the 70,000 Beiting army to Mo Chu, in fact, he took a fancy to his decay, in order to give his beloved son Duo Dun ** a chance, but the old Khan King never said this to outsiders, and Duo Dun and Xiao Yan vaguely guessed, but they couldn't make it public.
Until many years later, the three words "Old Khan King" still have a magical influence on the grassland, not to mention that now, the generals who are listening to it suddenly feel that the Dragon King's recommendation makes some sense, and the person who the Old Khan King fancied before his death will still be wrong?
Dotun's face flushed, and once again, he prepared and set a trap, but the dragon king went around it.
The little man had to secretly tug at the corners of his coat to stop the prince from being angry in public.
"Haha, I'm really blushing, the Dragon King dug up the glittering jewels among the people of the North Garden, and I turned a blind eye, old general, I hope you don't be surprised. Xiao Yan smiled brightly.
Mo De was dumbfounded, "This...... I really don't have a lot of energy......"
"Hey. Xiao Yan disagreed, "The current situation is in crisis, please make it difficult for the old general, I support Mo De as the commander, Prince Dotun, what is your opinion?"
Duo Dun felt that there was still a chance for Liman, Mo Chu was an internal annihilation, colluded with Dubu King in private, and should have been beheaded to show the public, how could he be the boss? But Xiao Yan's hint was already very obvious, he had to squeeze out a smile, "I don't know if there is a tree under the tree, the old general Mo Chu is the commander of my army, and he is also my teacher, I didn't think of him earlier, it was my mistake, I agree to let him be the commander." ”
"I don't have a problem with that. Shulitu immediately said, "Old General Moide is indeed the most suitable. ”
The generals who had been amazed immediately changed their attitudes, and they were so fast that they could leave the Flame Pony far behind.
Mo De still wanted to refuse, but there was no chance to speak, and the person surnamed Jian had even run out of the tent to announce the result.
The determination of the head coach was so smooth that it greatly surprised the soldiers, and many people breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems that this alliance is serious." ”
The discussion in the tent is not over, there is a boss, there must be a general, it is very simple, each of the four armies has one person, Li Shun, Azheba, and Liman naturally entered the tent, and the dragon army general is naturally Dugu Xian, without any controversy, he is also the same as Azheba, and he has been promoted several levels.
Gu Shenwei's part of his purpose was achieved, and he gave his opponent a surprise blow.
Back at the residence, Xiao Yanshi taught Duotun with a cold face: "You were too careless just now, Shulitu is calmer than you." ”
"He's in league with the Dragon King...... Okay, I made a mistake, but I still don't understand, why let Mo De be the coach, you and I can join forces to stop the Dragon King's recommendation. ”
"Because the ink is ostensibly your person. "Even if the opposition is successful, it will give the impression that the Dotun army is unstable, is this what you want?"
Don didn't squeak anymore.
Xiao Yan sighed, "Next, you have to fight with the Dragon King for control of Mo Out, don't make any more mistakes, we used to have the advantage, but now we have become evenly matched." ”
Gu Shenwei is ready.
