Chapter 432: The Problem
Gu Shenwei did not punish Fang Wensi, in the final analysis, the military advisor just moved his heart, and did not make any excessive moves, he cried like a child and confessed his mistake to the dragon king, and the dragon king had to make an adult posture, accept the apology, and comfort him slightly.
As for the plan to unite with Beiting, Gu Shenwei still has to think about it again, this is a strategy that the military advisor came up with in order to get rid of the snare of **, which is the product of impulse, and the Dragon King naturally can't agree impulsively anymore.
Before coming to see the military advisor, Gu Shenwei felt that he should be jealous, and taught Fang Wenis a hard lesson to leave the mansion, but he found that jealousy and resentment had not taken root in his heart from the beginning, and he wanted to show a man's rights to his fiancΓ©e, but he didn't care.
He couldn't even remember the princess's face, only the look of horror, nervousness, and resistance.
This is just a small thing, he thought, the purpose of marrying the princess is to win the hearts of the people of the free sea, and it has nothing to do with love, or even with the princess.
On the way back to the barracks, he threw away these boring thoughts, and turned to think about the battle with Shangguan Jianyi's killers, the decisive battle with the 50,000-strong army of Jinpeng Fort, and more wars after the decisive battle.
Gu Shenwei's gaze occasionally swept over the swordsman Lin Xiaoshan, and his mind moved slightly, quickly calming down.
Jiang is destined to marry the Dragon King, which is very important for both the Dragon King and the Great Snow Mountain, and it will not change because of a swordsman no matter what.
Lin Xiaoshan's self-control was much better than Fang Wen, facing the Dragon King, he behaved as respectful as usual, his vigilance was still very high, and he was always the first to react whenever there was a disturbance around.
For this young swordsman, it is better to remain silent than to be clear, this is Gu Shenwei's final decision.
Back in the barracks, Gu Shenwei summoned Dugu Xian, General Zuo had been in office for two or three days, and he had nothing to do, and he wanted to ask the reason.
Dugu Xian lost an arm and really became a "Du" general, his injuries have not fully recovered, and he looks a little haggard, but there is no big problem.
It just so happened that he also had something to see the Dragon King.
"I'm learning about the situation of the soldiers, and the origin of the dragon king's army is complicated. β
"Yes, so I need a general of your profession to train them into real warriors. β
"Training can start at any time, but this is not the most urgent problem at the moment, our army says that there are 20,000 people, but in fact, the armies of different sources are not subordinate to each other, and the tactics are hugely different, so they can only fight separately, there are those who fight bravely, and there are many cowardly people who avoid fighting, and the overall combat effectiveness is less than 20,000. β
Gu Shenwei nodded, encouraging Dugu Xian to continue, this is indeed one of the fatal shortcomings of the Great Snow Mountain army, swordsmen, swordsmen, savages, slaves, nobles, tribes, mine thieves, the five countries, not to mention the huge differences, some people even hate each other, the seeds of betrayal are buried everywhere, and a small matter may lead to unpredictable consequences.
"Therefore, before the training, I will carry out a comprehensive reorganization of the army, eliminate the estrangement and distinction between the various armies, and unify the command and structure of the whole army. β
This is the best way to solve the problem, perhaps the only way, Gu Shenwei has had a similar plan for a long time, and he did not implement it because of lack of time and energy, and second, because he was afraid that the generals and soldiers would misunderstand the meaning of this move.
Small things can cause uproar, and it is difficult to say what kind of chaos will be caused by restructuring such a big matter that concerns everyone.
"There is no urgency. "Before he was very sure, Gu Shenwei didn't want to change the status quo.
After a few days of understanding, Dugu Xian understood what the difficulty of reorganizing the army was, and how much resistance there was, "The Dragon King is worried that the soldiers of the Five Kingdoms will oppose the reorganization?"
Not to mention the soldiers of the Five Kingdoms, all along, the swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountain are the core of the army, as the most trusted group of warriors of the Dragon King, they have many privileges, the leaders of each clan have supreme power in their own clan, sometimes even the Dragon King can not interfere, every time he fights, the Dragon King is to give orders to the patriarchs, through them to command the warriors below.
Once reorganized into a regular army, the swordsman was indistinguishable from other soldiers, which would certainly be difficult for many to accept.
Dugu Xian didn't think about it so much, and thought that the Dragon King was worried about the soldiers of the Five Kingdoms, so he continued, this was also the main purpose of his meeting with the Dragon King today, "Although the soldiers of the Five Nations are not very reliable, they have received some formal training, and with a little allocation, they will be the first available strength." Shangguan Jianyi will not move for the time being, or it won't be long before he can see that we are bluffing, and at the latest next spring, we will definitely attack in a big way, and there is not much time left for us. β
Gu Shenwei roughly guessed what Dugu Xian was going to say next, which was another difficult problem to solve.
"The top priority is to capture the hearts of the soldiers of the Five Kingdoms, Dragon King, please forgive me for talking too much, it is not a good idea to marry two queens at the same time. β
The four kingdoms of Kang, Sha, Hui, and An once formed a coalition to attack Shiguo, but after joining the army of the Great Snow Mountain, they immediately released their previous suspicions and vigilantly stared at the foreign warriors with suspicious eyes, especially the small number of swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountain, who were the most trusted by the Dragon King.
Originally, marrying the princess of Shiguo was to appease the hearts of the people of the Five Kingdoms, but the appearance of Jiang disrupted the plan, and the matter that Daxue Mountain was proud of was precisely where the Five Kingdoms were dissatisfied.
Princess Shiguo, who has only appeared in public once, suddenly pinned the face of the five ** people.
On one side is his staunchest supporter, and on the other side is the most urgently needed force at the moment, Gu Shen is in a dilemma.
Reasonably arranging the interests and balance of the people around you is far more difficult than destroying the enemy, this is a problem that no one can solve perfectly in ancient and modern emperors, and with the expansion of strength, the dragon king has also begun to meet.
Leaving Dugu Xian, Gu Shenwei summoned the generals of the five countries again, and the generals of Anguo had all surrendered to the law because of their participation in the betrayal, and some people were newly promoted, including Wu Zongheng, the head of the guard.
Wu Zongheng was originally a low-level gatekeeper in the capital of Anguo, and when the king fled, he didn't even think of him, but at the critical moment when the whole city was about to fall into chaos, he showed some leadership temperament, so Gu Shenwei transferred him from Anguo, promoted several levels, and became the leader of the An** team.
Among the more than a dozen generals of the Five Kingdoms of Xiaoyaohai, only he was from a civilian background.
The situation was more serious than Gu Shenwei imagined, although the generals were submissive and blindly obeyed the Dragon King, but when it came to the big wedding that would be held the day after tomorrow, everyone remained silent, especially the generals of Shi Guo, who were even more depressed and felt very ashamed.
Wu Zongheng was under the common sense of the Dragon King, and to a certain extent, he was also trusted by the Dragon King, so he was elected to express everyone's true thoughts, "We thought, this, the Dragon King, is it okay, uh, to get married...... Stagger some, just one day, marry the princess first......"
Prince Kang originally wanted to take the princess, but after the failure, he was angry, but at this time he stood on the side of the generals, he once spoke disrespectfully in front of the Dragon King, but he was not punished, which also made him a little bolder, so he spoke after Wu Zongheng, "The Dragon King and the princess of Shiguo are married, and the entire Xiaoyaohai is deeply honored, this marriage has been determined nearly a year ago, and the world knows it." But I don't know, when did the 'princess' of the Great Snow Mountain settle down with the Dragon King?"
The generals nodded one after another, feeling that this sentence spoke their hearts, the dragon king can marry as many women as he wants, and it is not a big problem to set up a queen, there are many small countries in the Western Regions, this kind of thing has not happened, but there must be a first come, first come, first come, the princess of Shiguo chose the dragon king as a concubine after layers of assessment, but the girl named Jiang in the Snow Mountain, obviously a maid, why did she suddenly marry the dragon king, and she had to be on an equal footing with the real princess.
Gu Shenwei remembered that his father said that those in high positions should be cautious in their words and deeds, and do not open their mouths unless they are determined to carry it out to the end, so he simply said that he understood the thoughts of the generals and the five **people, but did not make any promises.
Marrying the princess and Jiang successively every other day is a way, Gu Shenwei is sure to persuade the swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountain, the key is the three warlocks.
These three people are the medium of communication between the dragon king and the heavenly gods, and they hold one of the most important secrets of the dragon king, they are extremely stubborn, insisting that the dragon king carry out the original promise exactly at all, and the first queen to marry must be a woman from the Great Snow Mountain, and it is okay to tie for the first place, a day late, or even a quarter of an hour late.
Gu Shenwei considered whether to kill these three warlocks, and soon gave up this plan, and the belief in the sky occupies an important position in the life of the Great Snow Mountain, Gu Shenwei has no relationship with the Great Snow Mountain, but is respected as the "head of the dragons, the king of the five peaks", relying largely on the "providence of heaven".
He still needs these warlocks, and he may soon be able to use them.
The battle with Shangguan Jianyi is ongoing, and people are killed every day, but the upcoming dragon king's wedding has grabbed most people's attention.
Gu Shenwei must solve the problem properly, not to satisfy one party, but to satisfy everyone.
Zhong Heng is a veteran in solving problems, but Gu Shenwei does not plan to ask him for advice, which involves some personal matters, which are secrets that he cannot reveal.
He's going to figure it out for himself.
It was getting dark, and Gu Shenwei ended the day's affairs early and went to rest in the tent he had chosen at random.
As expected, Jiang was still sent in advance by the patriarchs, prepared a meal, and was waiting to serve the Dragon King.
Outside the tent, Lin Xiaoshan seemed to have decided to never rest again, and still dutifully guarded and did not take shifts with anyone.
Some people want it but can't, some people don't want it, Gu Shenwei found himself in an absurd predicament, he thought, it is better to simply let Lin Xiaoshan take Jiang away, but in that case, the swordsman of the Great Snow Mountain will lose face and be deeply hit, which is against his original intention.
Jiang nervously set the dishes and chopsticks, still as nervous and frizzy as before, as soon as the dragon king entered the account, she broke a bowl, and the juice flowed all over the ground.
"I'm sorry. Jiang blushed and apologized, and hurriedly went to get a rag to wipe the ground.
"Leave it alone. Gu Shenwei sat on the soft couch and pointed to the vacant seat beside him, "Come here." β
Jiang seemed to have been struck by lightning, his face was so red that it seemed to ooze blood, he bit his lip, forced himself to remain calm, walked over step by step, sat beside the dragon king, his body trembled slightly, his head was lowered, and his irregular breathing was like a sob.
"How much do you like Lin Xiaoshan?" Gu Shen was unmoved, with a hint of cruelty, and asked the extremely frightened girl.
