Gao Shaoyi did not expect this reaction from the old man. To be honest, in Gao Shaoyi's schedule today, or even in the next few days, Gao Shaoyi would not have anything to do with this old man, but the plan could not keep up with the changes. Yes, a lot of things are happening right in front of your eyes.
"Old general, I don't understand what you mean..."
"I don't understand why I would entrust my son to you, do you?"
The old man is a mature man. Although Gao Shaoyi did not raise the question, the old man has already guessed what is going on. As the general of Shangzhu State of the Daqian Dynasty, he has a great reputation in the entire military world. Anyone can entrust his two sons, and Gao Shaoyi is now in opposition to the imperial court. If he entrusts his two sons to Gao Shaoyi, it means that he and Li Hongtang will completely fall to the suppressing army.
What's more, today is not the right occasion. The old man came out to do things for the emperor. The emperor felt that Gao Shaoyi had been a little arrogant recently, so he brought out this secret army. He also hoped to remind Gao Shaoyi and let Gao Shaoyi see that the Daqian Empire was not empty. Instead of fighting back, there is still an army left in an unknown place.
Gao Shaoyi nodded heavily. He really couldn't figure out what kind of medicine the old man was selling in his gourd. He clearly represented the current emperor, but he entrusted his son to the suppressing army. What was going on?
"The current emperor is very kind to me. If you listen to what your father said, you should know how much kindness the current emperor is to me. Back then, I was just a slave who raised horses, but now I have become a general of the Zhu Kingdom. , I was promoted by the emperor, but why did I betray the emperor again? Because I don’t want to see the people continue to live like this..."
There were tears in Mr. Chen's eyes. Since he got the title of Shangzhu Kingdom, Mr. Chen had to go back to Nanshan to take care of his old age. There were too many of his subordinates in the army, such as Gao Shaoyi's father. The court was suspicious of him. Mr. Chen, so it is impossible for the old man to continue to lead the army, including his two sons, they can only serve as civilian officers.
When the Daqian Dynasty encountered difficulties, the old man once presented three memorials in one day, hoping that he could lead the army again. However, the emperor is now afraid of letting the tiger go back to the mountains, so he would rather send some mediocre generals than let the old man regain military power. It was just the fear of having a big tail in the future, which was also one of the reasons why the Daqian Empire failed in its foreign wars.
Foreigners select the most elite officers and soldiers, but what you select here are just a bunch of losers. How can you beat them when the weapons and equipment are backward? What if you use this group of elite soldiers? Strong generals, even if our weapons and equipment are backward, we will not be defeated so miserably by relying on local operations. We may even achieve partial victory, and we can also gain some opportunities for negotiations.
But unfortunately the court didn't think so. They watched helplessly as they failed one after another and locked the old man's petition for war in the cabinet. From that moment on, the old man lost confidence in the entire court.
After the Suppression Army came out, the court had already begun to use their brains. After all, many of the people in the Suppression Army were also the old man's subordinates. The emperor asked the old man to write to some generals in the Suppression Army, giving them high-ranking officials and generous salaries, and asking them to leave the suppression. But the old man has never done such a thing, it is because he saw hope in suppressing the Lu army, and he will never let this army be destroyed by his own hands.
"If the old man insists on doing this, the emperor will..."
After listening to these words, Gao Shaoyi was deeply moved. There was no shortage of passionate people in the Daqian Dynasty, but after seeing what the current court did, these people hid themselves. But as long as there is such a person, Even if there is an opportunity, they are not willing to put the people of the world into danger.
"Old man, I have lived for so long, am I still afraid of death? Now one more day of living is considered earned. I am not boasting about my two sons. I have taught them carefully over the years. I don't want them to be like this. Being buried, I also hope that they can go into battle and kill the enemy like me, and you don’t need to give them a chance and let them start as private soldiers.”
The old man said seriously, although these two sons have always served as civilian officers, the old man has always been very clear about military matters, and he has devoted all his efforts to these two sons. Now that this matter has been settled, , the old man has no other ideas, just wait for the emperor's people to come.
"Senior, please rest assured, I will definitely make arrangements for my two uncles..."
In fact, there is nothing wrong with calling Gao Shaoyi that way. Gao Shaoyi's father was under the old man's command back then and he was the same generation as these two people.
"They are not your uncles, and you are not their nephews. They are your soldiers. Everything is the same as other soldiers. If they die for the country on the battlefield, it is also the glory of my Chen family. If one day we can become the star Brilliant, that is their creation."
The old man also led troops in the army, so he naturally knew that these roundabout relationships were detrimental to the development of the army. Moreover, there were so many uncles in the Suppressing Army, and Gao Shaoyi did not give them special treatment. He just let them work their way up from the bottom. As long as it is gold, are you afraid that it will not shine? Even if it is your own two sons, they will never have any privileges.
After the old man said these words, he patted Gao Shaoyi on the shoulder, with a kind look in his eyes, then turned around and prepared to leave. All the things that should be done have been done, and this can be regarded as his last bit of ability.
"Old senior, please stay. If you are willing, I hope that you can go to sea and stay away for three years..."
Although Gao Shaoyi can send troops to protect General Chen, this is the capital city after all. It is easy to block open guns and hidden arrows. If the court is determined, no matter how Gao Shaoyi strengthens the defense, it may not be possible to protect the old general. But if he is sent to the East As for Di Guo, that's probably a different story.
"Eastern side?"
The old man said with great interest.
"Although that place is not our country's territory, the stationing of anti-rogue troops can ensure the safety of the old man."
Gao Shaoyi is right. Although it is the land of Dongdi Kingdom, Dongdi Kingdom is already a toothless tiger. What can it do even if it has an army of two million? We can't fight how we want.
