Chapter 31

After simple repair, the conference hall is not as prosperous and solemn as it used to be, but it is spacious enough.

At this time, many officials in the hall sat upright, civil and military sat on both sides, and each looked serious, as if wind and rain were coming.

"It is reported that three of the seven departments of Beirong have set up troops and will come into direct contact with us in less than a month."

Xiang Xin, the commander-in-chief, said in a dull voice, "I'm afraid we can't defend the city in our current situation."

"At that time, Fengdu city will miss. You must give up hundreds of miles from here to Jiashan pass!"

"Only three, can't you stop it?"

Lord Shu, the supervisory envoy, is the head of the civil service. He is responsible for supervising the military government. He can't help frowning at his speech.

"My Lord, this time is different from the past."

Deputy commander General Ji sighed and said, "now the commander, commander Tongzhi and Zhenfu generals have been killed one after another. Our generals have suffered heavy losses, so it is difficult to form an orderly resistance."

"And..."

After a pause, he continued: "two generals defected and took away many generals. We can see everything along the line in the eyes of Beirong people."

"In addition, after this battle, Fengdu has long been riddled with holes, which is difficult to repair in a short time, and the defense is also difficult!"

"Hum!"

The eunuch sun snorted coldly and said in a shrill voice, "I remember you said there would be no war this year."

"Now Beirong people are about to commit crimes. If you have a negative imperial favor, don't blame the miscellaneous family for being unkind!"

The generals changed their colors when they heard the words.

At the beginning of the founding of the state of Daliang, there were military generals who disturbed the state, so over the years, the imperial court has tried its best to curb the rights of military officials.

Eunuchs, military supervisors, civilian governors

Are one of them.

In the capital and even in the south of the north, there is a saying that second-class generals are not as good as fifth class civil servants.

Although the border troops had better power because they resisted the Beirong people, they were still controlled by civilian officials.

Although eunuch sun has a small official position, he can listen directly to heaven. A small report can make people tremble.

What's more?

Now the commander has been killed. When facing many civil servants, the military general is more and more unable to raise his head.

"Lord Sun."

Xiang Zongbing bowed his hand with a bitter face: "no one thought of it. I thought that Beirong people had been satisfied with playing Grass Valley."

This year, the number of Beirong people went south for times and gained a lot. According to the practice in previous years, they should not come again.

Who ever thought

"Peng!"

The wooden table shook violently.

The supervisor, Mr. Shu, looked gloomy and shouted, "are you going to make excuses for yourself when you are stationed at the border?"

"What do you think your majesty will think of the loss of the city and the traitors in the army?"

"It's bad to defend the land. You'll come to no good end!"

"My Lord."

Deputy commander Ji suddenly stood up, hugged his fist and shouted, "if Beirong people invade the border, we will fight to death!"

"Fight to death?"

Eunuch sun disdained to sneer: "I'm afraid that even if you die, the court will still lose face."

When the sound fell, many generals could not help looking stiff.

"Everybody."

Someone said in a slow voice, "this is not the time to get angry. We should work together to discuss countermeasures."

"Good, good!"

There are sober people among civil and military officials. Knowing that it is useless to quarrel at this time, they immediately agree.

"Countermeasures?"

Eunuch sun glanced: "we know nothing about marching and fighting. We will only report the results to your majesty."

Then he arched his hand upward.

At this time, a man slowly got up and said, "if you want to keep Fengdu City, there is no way."

"What advice does Lord Qi have?"

Although this person is a civil servant, the look in the eyes of the military general is not invincible.

Because Lord Qi is a rare talent with both literature and martial arts.

"I don't deserve your advice."

Lord Qi shook his head gently and said, "it's not far from winter. If Beirong people want to invade these hundreds of miles, they must make a quick decision."

"Once the cold winter comes, in addition to Garrisoning the city, it is extremely difficult for other places to accommodate tens of thousands of troops."

"Quick decision?"

General Ji's face changed and said, "this is also what we are worried about. In our situation, we are afraid we can't form a defensive position in a short time."

"If there is no way, find a way!"

Lord Qi's voice sank and said, "as long as we can hold on for two months, the Beirong soldiers will defeat themselves."

"You can let Jiashan pass send troops."

Someone suggested, "there are 20000 elite soldiers there, and 8000 are divided, so we are sure to stop Beirong soldiers for the time being."

"Eight thousand, impossible!"

Xiang Zongbing shook his head: "I know Pang Tidu's temperament very well. I can transfer up to 5000 people from there."

"Five thousand is OK."

Lord Qi nodded: "with these 5000 people, if you gather the soldiers nearby, you should be able to mobilize 30000 troops in a month."

"Then..."

His eyes were full of fanaticism and said, "I don't want to defeat them. As long as I can let Beirong people know that this trip is difficult, I will have the opportunity to force them to withdraw."

"After all, only three of the seven Beirong divisions have come. Their own hearts are not united, and the rear is unstable."

"Thirty thousand..."

General Ji silently calculated for a moment and nodded slowly: "it should be OK."

Of course, this is only the general plan, and the details can be seen in the real chapter.

How to dispatch troops, how to dispatch food and supplies, and how to command 30000 troops in the absence of generals need to be discussed one by one.

"All right."

I don't know when, the supervisor asked Shu Da to stretch out his hand and press down the arguing people, saying, "now, let's talk about how to deal with all the officials in the city."

"Those who betray should inform the world. Those who are constantly in trouble should give way, and those who have made meritorious contributions should also be rewarded!"

"What your excellency said is."

General Ji nodded: "speaking of, the reason why we can force back the Beirong army this time is the contribution of general Miao."

"If there were no Miao general army to lead troops to rescue in time, the north courtyard would have been taken by Beirong people long ago!"

"The general flattered me!"

Miao Zongbing hugged his fist and arched his hand. He smiled and said, "the last general is actually stained with the light of others."

"Others?"

General Ji nodded and said, "yes, if there is no Liu An with unparalleled courage, I'm afraid we don't have today."

"This person deserves a big reward!"

"Cough..."

Suddenly, someone coughed twice and interrupted their conversation.

"General Ji."

Eunuch sun squinted, covered his mouth with one hand and said in a slow voice, "Liu An in your mouth is different from what we know."

"How?"

They were stunned: "Liu An led the crowd to break into the disorderly army, bravely broke into the single bridge and saved me with unparalleled courage. This matter must not be false."

"That's not what we're talking about."

Eunuch sun narrowed his eyes and said, "the reason why Beirong people violated the border this time is that the rebels in the city defected."

"The rebels defected because Wu Yunzhao was caught and they were afraid of exposing themselves."

"As for why Wu Yunzhao was arrested, don't you know?"

He smiled coldly: "if I said, without Liu An, there would be no such thing today!"

"But..."

Miao Zongbing was stunned: "Wu Yunzhao had taken refuge in Beirong. Can't it blame Liu An?"

The meaning of the other party's words seems to be that Wu Yunzhao is a loyal minister of Daliang without Guo fan.

If the speaker had not been eunuch sun, he would have slapped him.

What the hell!

"Liu An broke into the prison and killed six people without respecting the military order. Don't you think it's a good thing?"

Eunuch sun Leng hum continued, "I also heard that a thousand families went to his yard to pick up people and were knocked out."

"There was also a hundred families who died in baoningdun, where he was stationed."

"Lord Sun."

Miao Zongbing tried to resist his anger and said in a stuffy voice, "do you have any misunderstanding about Liu An?"

"Misunderstanding?"

Eunuch sun stared and said angrily, "our family is on the matter. What do you mean by this!"

"Lord Sun, calm down. Calm down."

General Ji got up quickly, waved his hands again and again, and forced commander-in-chief Miao to apologize to him.

"Liu An is really unruly."

General Xiang interposed on one side and looked puzzled: "but he has made such great achievements. If he doesn't reward it, I'm afraid the army won't accept it."

"Hum!"

Eunuch sun snorted twice and held his arms in silence.

Obviously, he is determined not to make Guo fan feel better!

"If you deserve merit, you will be rewarded; but if you pass, you can't go unpunished."

The supervisor, Mr. Shu, pondered a little and said, "Liu An is too wild. He really needs to be polished."

"In this way, he will be promoted to general Mingwei from the fourth grade. Let's go to the sin barracks for the time being!"

"Sin barracks?"

With this remark, many generals changed color one after another.

…………

"Sin barracks?"

Wearing bright light armor and holding a moon covering knife, Guo fan sits on his horse and is staggering to his post in the face of the sun.

At the same time, Lu GUI, who was holding a double axe, asked, "this name doesn't sound like a good place to go."

"It's really not a good place to go."

Lu GUI shrugged and pulled his face and said weakly, "the crime barracks are the places where criminals are specially detained."

"These criminals come from all over the world. Everyone has them. Most of them have committed capital crimes."

"When you go to the battlefield, the sin barracks bear the brunt. If you can get military merit, you can avoid the death penalty!"

"I see."

Guo fan clearly nodded and said, "that is to say, the people in the barracks are used as cannon fodder!"

"Cannon fodder?"

Lu GUI thought it was a local dialect, but the meaning was clear.

"I Miss Lu GUI. Although I'm not very obedient, I'm also a meritorious man, but I don't want to go to the sin barracks to be the Deputy General of Lao Shizi!"

"The former general and Deputy General of sin barracks were killed by his men in the barracks!"

"What are you?"

Mo Linglong snorted and said, "I'm a common people. I've been forcibly recruited, but I'll go wherever Mr. Liu goes."

"Moreover, with Mr. Liu, the people in the sin barracks must be honest no matter how fierce they are."

"You are easy to talk."

Lu Guibai glanced at her and sighed again when he saw a chaotic camp ahead.

"Someone stop!"

In front of the camp, a team stopped several people.

"This is general Liu, the new leader of the sin barracks."

Lu GUI calmed down and took the initiative to hand over the nameplate and documents: "are you responsible for the handover?"

"Yes."

One nodded, checked the papers, waved his hand and pulled several carriages closer.

"General Liu An, the deputy commander is looking forward to you. This is something specially sent for you by the army. If you need anything in the future, you can go to commander Miao. He said he would help."

"If you look forward to it, you won't be arranged into the sin barracks."

With a murmur, Lu GUI came forward and lifted the black cloth on the carriage one by one.

All kinds of ordnance, and two boxes of white silver!

Rough count, no less than 3000 Liang!

Guo fan took a wooden box and opened it. A happy look appeared in his eyes.

It seems that what the messenger said is true. As long as he takes office, everything he wants is here.

Collapse mountain strength!

Eight pole secret!

Rush the chain!

Land soaring!

Strong fingering!

Twelve legs!

Six kinds of luck methods collected in the army are all in front of us.

Kneel down for collection, recommended tickets, reward
