Chapter 390: Today's generals
hurried back to Yan's mansion, and Yan's father had already expected Yan Xu to come, so as soon as he entered the door, he saw where Yan's father was sitting and waiting, and when he saw Yan Xu, he smiled and said that he had grown taller.
Seeing this, Yan Xu knew that although the incident was accidental, it was not serious enough to endanger his life, otherwise Father Yan would not still be in the mood to laugh.
"Liang'er was selected this time, which can be said to be unexpected or expected. Father Yan stroked his beard and said with a wry smile.
The Yan family has been an official in the court for generations, especially in the military department, and there are protégés everywhere, so even if Yan's father was only a third-grade official back then, he also had an important position.
However, when Yan's father resigned and returned to his hometown during the golden period as an official, I think there are deeper reasons, after all, Yan's father's age at that time was not too big for a third-grade official, and there is a possibility of going further, and even when he really can't do it, the emperor will be promoted to another level, so that he can return to his hometown as a first-class official, which is also a officialdom practice.
But Yan's father completely gave up all this, and even arranged for his eldest son Yan Liang to do a civil service with no real power, in fact, these were all to avoid trouble.
Yes, to avoid trouble, there is no better understanding of how many crises there are in the world than Father Yan, who holds the real power of the military department.
But it's useless for him to know, not to mention that Father Yan doesn't think that he is the only one who can see this, but does anyone stand up because of this?
No, not even a person who dares to tell the truth.
Father Yan also didn't have the guts, so he resigned and went home after making some arrangements, just to avoid the big whirlpool in the future.
But the influence of the Yan family in the military department is still there, so some people don't want to see this scene, such as the secretary of the military department, so this thankless position of commander fell to Yan Liang's head.
If they win, the Yan family will naturally be drawn into a new whirlpool of interest competition, and if they lose, their influence will naturally be greatly reduced, and for some people, winning or losing is no longer important, because they are already invincible.
Hearing this, Yan Xu was very worried, but Yan's father did not have the slightest sense of worry, but comforted Yan Xu, Yan Xu also knew that his brother actually had experience in joining the army, or the master of real power in the army, and he had won a lot of big victories by his morale many times in the army, but he was covered up by Yan's father, so Yan Liang, who was promoted to the position of commander, would not feel at a loss because of this.
What's more, Yan Xu sent the iron-clad guest in advance, which made Yan's father even more relieved.
The eldest son's dispatch of troops, he is not worried about the logistics scheduling ability, but the imperial court has been heavy on literature and light on military force for a long time, and the generals who can still fight are all at the border pass, and the hinterland is almost a bunch of goods.
But it's different with the iron-clad guest under his command, the iron-clad guest himself is a strong general in the army, since following Yan Xu, he has gained a lot of opportunities and adventures, and his strength has increased greatly, this time he returns to the battlefield, the generals who can beat him in the world dare not say no, but there will definitely not be more, in this way, no matter how bad the situation is in time, it will not be defeated.
"Waste, being killed by less than half of his own enemy army and losing three battles in a row, it is really a shame for the imperial court!" Yan Liang stood with his sword in the big tent of the Chinese army, and glared at the many generals in front of him.
Yan Liang obviously inherited the good genes of the Yan family, with a dignified appearance and full of energy, and he was in the golden age of his life in his early thirties, coupled with his early experience in the army, and now he is in charge of the three armies, which makes him look majestic.
Seeing this, Yan Liang secretly sighed, feeling extremely tired, even if a military general dared to raise his head to show his dissatisfaction with him at this time, he would not be so frustrated.
These people said that they were military generals, but in fact they had long been abolished by the imperial court, they were all a bunch of old oilers, and they did not dare to have the slightest objection in the face of him, the commander of the army, and after leading the troops alone, they acted in accordance with the military ethics at a glance, not to mention improvisation, not even a little flexibility.
Yan Liang is not a civil servant who knows nothing about military affairs, of course he knows that no matter how detailed the plan is before sending troops, there will definitely be many variables when the real fight starts, and then it will be necessary to lead the generals to adapt to their own changes, which is a severe test of the generals' ability.
But these people are afraid of making mistakes, so they would rather lose than be flexible, anyway, they are completely in accordance with the military order, and they can't be blamed for failure, it is your boss's responsibility, on the contrary, if they make their own decisions, it is easy for people to seize the handle if they win, and if they lose, they will lose their heads, of course, they are not willing to make their own decisions, and Yan Liang is also a headache for this.
"Raise your head for me, next time you lose again, don't blame Ben Shuai for using Shang Fang's sword to give you a boost in memory!" Yan Liang glanced at his generals, and found that he had spoken in vain, and they also knew that they were just talking, after all, these soldiers and generals under his command were all drawn from the garrisons in various places, and they only knew that the garrisons did not know the imperial court, and without them, his commander-in-chief would not be able to command his generals at all.
"General Tie stays, and the others go back to regroup their troops and prepare to fight again!" Yan Liang didn't want to look at these people who were purely here to mess around, waved them back, and then looked at the iron-clothed guests who stayed behind and smiled bitterly.
It made General Tie laugh. Yan Liang was very polite to the iron-clad guest, and did not despise the other party because of his identity, especially when the other party played a huge role on the battlefield many times, and compared with the group of stinky sweet potato rotten bird eggs under his hands, he naturally valued the other party even more.
"It's not their fault. It was rare for the iron-clothed man to say a word for the other party, and Yan Liang also knew the meaning of the other party's words, and he was also a profiteer, so he was a little silent for a while.
Chen Guo is a civil and martial artist, and the status of the literati is far above the martial arts, even if a county order of the seventh grade dares to point to the nose of the third-grade general and scold, and the other party can only obediently bow his head and listen, otherwise these people can use their mouths to tell you to death alive, this is not a joke, the generals who died in the mouth of Wenchen have not known how many since the founding of the country, and those who are still alive have long learned to behave.
The current Jiangmen family, since childhood, has not taught the art of bow and horse war, but how to behave more stubbornly, and even encourage them to go to the Qinglou to bully men and women, anyway, the worse the reputation, the better, it is best to be scolded by people all day long, because only in this way can you live well and pass on the family.
It's not that no one has resisted during this period, but the situation in the court is like this, Wenchen has the absolute right to speak, and the military generals are like decorations in the court, just close your eyes and shut your mouth and wait to retreat from the court, and then go home and be glad that you have lived one more day.
Those who can fight, dare to fight, and make meritorious contributions are either assigned to the border or die in various accidents, and those who are serious are involved in some major cases, and then the family will go on the road together.
In this kind of environment, how dare these garrisons in various places show that they are different, those who can win must be drawn, those who can draw must lose, the more they lose, the safer they are, anyway, even if they change the world, it has nothing to do with them, and when the time comes, they will lead the troops to surrender.
The generals under him all have this mentality, even if Yan Liang has a shocking strategy, it is useless, it can be said that it is not bad that he has not been tied up by his subordinates to surrender.
