Lu Que and Yu Yuanpu discussed for a while, and then ordered the guards to inform the general of the barracks to come to the shuaizhang for a meeting. After half an hour, Shuai Zhang, who had just broken up, was once again filled up by the generals who were wearing helmets and flapping armor. The number of people summoned this time was obviously much more than just now.
Lu Kuo didn't talk much. After informing the front-line military situation, he directly gave the order to go south. Except for the battalions that had been seriously damaged in the battle of animal tide in zhennanguan, the rest of the battalions were finished repairing and began to reorganize the army and prepare to March. After the military discussion, the fast wind army, who needed to be the first to start, went to Mo Yingxing, who was in charge of the logistics of the army, to get military funding, Lu que only gave them one day to prepare. They were leaving the camp and going south in the early morning of tomorrow. At the same time, three Xinying flew from Danshui camp and headed south with the military order of the commander-in-chief of Southern Xinjiang.
After the war broke up, Lu que went to the Changqing army. The Changqing army served as the Guard commander in the middle army in the battle of the beast tide. The number of casualties was relatively small, and the combat effectiveness was preserved most completely. Before, because he was commander-in-chief of Changqing army and commander-in-chief of Nanjiang, Lu que gave most of his achievements in the battle of beast tide to the three armies of benlei, FanFeng and Huxiao. In this war of national annihilation, Lu que planned to take Changqing army as the main force and go directly to Ningan River to meet Li Yongxian, the most brilliant king of Nanli in more than 100 years.
At this time, those battalion generals who had been noisy before, but now were left in Danshui and handed over to Zhongyang king to guarantee the grain road of the army, were all silly. They paid a great price in the battle of zhennanguan, but it did not mean that they lost their combat effectiveness.
Although their combat power is not as strong as before because of incomplete organizational system, they are all elite trumps of various armies. Now they are about to use their troops, and they are left behind by a military order from commander Lu Kui. This makes more than a dozen battalions who originally planned to make new contributions in the next war completely flustered. Now they even dare not go back to the battalions, because they don't know how to face the paoze brothers in the battalions.
It's just that under the army's military orders, soldiers can only obey orders. You know, it's wartime, and those people in the Department of military justice don't care whether you are a meritorious old general or not. Disobeying the military orders will lead to demotion and beheading. In desperation, they had to go to their respective commanders and Deputy commanders for help, hoping that they could help to plead with Lu Que and allow their battalions to go south.
However, Shen Zhang, the commander-in-chief of the benlei army, and Du Zhong and Xing Gongtai, who led the army as the deputy commander, all knew what had happened before, which made Lu Que and Zhongyang Wang very dissatisfied. Therefore, in the morning, they specially called together the commanders of the various armies to discuss. Now, there is no room for them to return under the military order. They are very clear that although Lu que is young, they can't be deceived. If they go to Lu que for this matter now, maybe the young commander in chief will feel that they are relying on the old to sell the old, and they are trying to put pressure on him by virtue of their age and military seniority. This is not good.
Moreover, King Zhongyang is here at this time. We should know that the division of labor among the three military departments is different. The Marshal's office is in charge of the twelve main armies, commanding the office to control the 24 guards, while the military office is in charge of the military affairs and law. Zhongyang king is the Prime Minister of the military government. Before, because the commander-in-chief Lu que didn't give a definite military order, they were making trouble secretly. For the sake of the army, Zhongyang king can be regarded as not seeing it. But now the military has discussed it, and the commander-in-chief's office has issued orders. If they don't comply with them and want to make trouble, there's no need for Lu que to do it, and Zhongyang King won't let them go.
You should know that Daqian's military regulations and laws are not ornaments, especially now the one in charge of military laws is Zhongyang Wang, the emperor's brother. He was born in the royal family, and no one would give him face.
However, they couldn't bear the entreaties of their beloved generals, so Shen Zhang gave them an idea at the same time, that is, to ask them to go to Zhongyang king for love. In addition to the emperor's imperial edict, only Zhongyang King Yu Yuanpu and the eldest princess Yu Tianxiang in southern Xinjiang can make Lu Qian's life come back, because they are from the royal family. One is the current military minister, One has taken over Fengxiang army and is the future Princess of assistant government. In addition, Wei Jiu, the commander-in-chief of the badminton army who is called Uncle by Lu que, has no such face even if he has a good relationship with Duke Wei.
After hearing the three men's suggestion, the generals could not help hesitating. Yu Yuanpu, king of Zhongyang, was different from Yu Yuanli, king of Heyang. He had been fond of boating and maritime affairs since he was a child. After a period of training in the Jing Navy, he was directly appointed as the commander of the army after he retired from his previous position as commander of the Jing Navy and took a casual post in waige.
The position of Zhongyang king was promoted from the position of uncle. Although he was born in the royal family, his military achievements were no less than those of other generals except Lu Chun, Duke of Wei, and Bai Yi, Marquis of Wu'an. In addition, although Zhongyang king was not proud of being born into a royal family, he was fair and strict. He was deeply loved by the soldiers when he was in the army. After he became the military minister, he was awed by the soldiers because he was in charge of Daqian military law and was selfless in accidents.
Seeing these people fall into silence, Shen Zhang, Xing Gongtai and Du Zhong didn't continue to say anything and waved to them to leave. They have already said that it's the job of these people who are looking for things for themselves to do or not. What's more, as the head of the army, they have too many things to make arrangements, and they don't have time to waste on these people. Several people have no choice but to go to Zhongyang Wang.
But when they got to the camp where the king of Zhongyang was, yuyuanpu, the king of Zhongyang, didn't see them at all. He just ordered someone to send a message for them to go back to the camp. He could take it as if nothing had happened before. Now the military order of the commander-in-chief's office has been issued. As the general of the army, they should understand that the military order is as iron as iron. No one can change it unless they can ask for the emperor's imperial edict. Several people smell speech is the facial expression is very white, after staying outside the Zhongyang King army tent for a while, groaning respective return camp.
They also know that what they have done before is against the general's responsibility. If Lu Que and Zhongyang Wang don't pursue it, it is because they have made great achievements. If they continue to ask for anything, it will be the military law that is waiting for them.
When Lu que heard about it in Changqing military camp, he could not help shaking his head and smiling, and did not pay any attention to it. He knew that these people could not get the results they wanted from Zhongyang king. In fact, the reason was very simple, because his youngest uncle was in charge of Daqian's military law. If his younger uncle came to him because of these people, the authority of military law would not exist, As the Prime Minister of the army, how can he do such a thing.
As for those battalion generals and battalions who were left in Danshui this time, to be honest, Lu que did not have too much prejudice. He was not a strong man himself, nor was he a ruthless commander who carried out military orders and laws as Wu'an Hou Bai Yi did.
On the one hand, the reason why these people stay in Danshui is that these battalions are seriously damaged. He must leave seeds for the elite of these armies. As long as these veterans are still there and are supplemented by new recruits after the war, they will soon be able to form combat power. After several more battles, they will be a reliable elite again.
On the other hand, it is out of consideration of the balance between the DPRK and the DPRK. Although the emperor still trusted him and did not take back his right to control the whole southern Xinjiang after the animal tide, as a human minister, he naturally wanted to reassure the emperor and let the emperor have a speech to face the officials.
In this way, there are Bai Yi and seven of the ten Fenghuang guards in Qingquan, zuozhuo guards of Gu Huaiyi and zuozhuque guards of zuozhuwei who have been stationed in the south end of the canal, and Zhongyang king of Danshui. The back roads and supplies of his army are completely controlled by these people, In this way, it will also make the central government feel at ease.
The last point is out of his own consideration. No matter what the battle of Nanli looks like, it is Nanli who finally overthrows Da Qian and unifies Southern Xinjiang, or Nanli who retreats to the south of Ning'an River and sticks to the river, making the war situation in a stalemate and finally strikes. Lu que does not want to stay in the post of commander-in-chief of Southern Xinjiang for a long time. Then, after he left Southern Xinjiang, the local government affairs might be taken over by the emperor, but the military affairs would still be controlled by the commander-in-chief's office in southern Xinjiang to frighten the new land.
If it was wartime, there might be only three or four people who could be competent in commanding the major legions in southern Xinjiang to fight with the enemy or even destroy the country. But if it wasn't wartime, the Zhongyang king in Danshui and Ding Guogong in Huangyanjiang could win the post. In Lu Que's view, if he left Southern Xinjiang, there was a 70% or 80% probability that he would be the commander-in-chief of Zhongyang. He was not only a Veteran General of the army, but also a prince of the royal family, or one of the three military phases. He had the most suitable experience and identity.
A general must have his own soldiers, just like the Tianhuo army built by his father in those years, and the Tianhuo army now retrained by his father and led by him. It has been ten years since Zhongyang King became the Prime Minister of the army. At that time, the old part of the army had either been demobilized or occupied an important position in other legions. If he stayed in southern Xinjiang, he also needed a private soldier. The elite battle camp, which had been badly damaged in more than ten wars, was the private soldier left by Lu que to Zhongyang king. Although he didn't say it clearly before, when things came to him, Lu que believed that his youngest uncle would understand his mind.
At this time, Lu que was walking in the Changqing military camp, looking at the shouting generals and busy soldiers, looking at everyone's vision of victory and high morale, Lu que couldn't help laughing. Looking at the slanting sun and the smoke rising from each battle camp, Lu que felt very real. These were real soldiers with boundless confidence and vision for the future, not the cold words in the post-war military newspaper.
His father Lu Chun once said to him that as a commander in chief, he is making decisions all the time. Every decision involves the life and death of many soldiers. Therefore, every decision should be made with deep thinking. War is the last way to make the other side submit to his own will by means of force, and casualties are inevitable. But as a commander, it is meaningful to let every soldier under his command sacrifice, not to send them to a dead end because of his own mistakes.
Since leading the army to the south of Xinjiang, Lu que likes to turn around in the camp every evening, watching his soldiers train and laugh. This will remind him that he can't kill these soldiers because of his mistakes. It is precisely because of this that Lu Kuo's way of leading troops is different from that of many generals. He will try his best to plan everything before the war and prepare everything necessary for victory in advance, so as to make the so-called war an arranged battle, so as to achieve the maximum result with the minimum war damage as far as possible.
Lu que walked to a barracks and looked at the hundreds of pots set up in front of the tent, the broth in the pot, the meat slices in the soup, and the steaming water vapor. Lu que couldn't help being a little distracted. What Lu que thought at this time was that although it was the place for the army to kill, it was still the image of fireworks in the world. Looking at the dozens of firemen and the soldiers who came to help, Lu que felt that his heart was full. It was a kind of peace in the atmosphere of killing, which was contradictory and harmonious.
Lu Que's light armour, which is totally different from that of ordinary soldiers, and his handsome Zhang Qinwei, who stands behind him in silence and looks like a sculpture, let everyone who sees them know who is standing here. But after such a long time, the officers and soldiers of the evergreen army have been familiar with it. They still do their own things except for a military salute, They all know that this young coach doesn't like to be disturbed by others. No one will disturb her at this time except the military information that must be reported.
And for this young manager, these officers and men are from the heart of respect. Almost every child in Daqian has heard of the disaster caused by the tide of animals, and even many of them grew up being intimidated by their parents. Before the war of animal tide, whether it was the thunder army stationed in zhennanguan, or the Changqing army, which was called the emperor's Pro army, or the Huxiao army and the fast wind army, who were thousands of miles north from Ning'an, they all wanted to kill the enemy, serve the country and die on the battlefield from top to bottom.
Because every outbreak of the animal tide in the past has brought great disaster to the Terran. The story is full of white bones on the roadsides of the city, and the cities and towns that turned into ruins after the animal tide are all in their memory. In the eyes of many soldiers, it is extremely rare that they can finally lose both sides with the tide of beasts and pay the price of total annihilation to block the tide of beasts. You should know that before the war, all the generals and soldiers of the major legions left their posthumous letters, waiting for them to be handed over to their relatives after they died in the war.
But no one expected that the battle of zhennanguan, which finished its first battle, would be won or lost so quickly. Everyone remembered the magnificent scene when the four legions attacked the beast tide. Everyone saw the red pillar of fire rising in zhennanguan and the last wailing of the beast tide.
For the second time since the founding of the state, Da Qian's extermination of the animal tide only depended on the painstaking efforts of every da Qian's officers and soldiers and the dozens of day and night decision-making and layout of the commander-in-chief Lu que. Everyone knows that if it wasn't for the commander-in-chief Lu que, they might not be able to survive in the tide of beasts, let alone achieve such a great victory.
Now the Changqing army only waits for the final battle to wipe out Nanli, and then returns home in glory. They all believe that as long as Lu is absent, the final victory will belong to them and Daqian.
