Chapter 5 Return (Part 7) After returning from Yuwenshu's army Yingmao, Li Xu immediately raised his tent in the Xiongwu Camp, summed up the gains and losses of recent battles in front of everyone, and announced that all rewards would be given to those who fought bravely.
The principle of inheritance is based on the role played in individual battles and the number of beheadings. It only looks at performance, regardless of origin.
"Thank you, General!" After hearing this, all the heroes burst into cheers. Everyone joins the army to gain fame. However, the forces in the army are so intertwined that it is not easy for ordinary people to stand out with military exploits. Several other soldiers are divided after the war.
Success is all based on the level of backing and the close relationship with the general. That is to say, under General Li, everyone has such a fair opportunity.
"You all got this with your blood, you don't need to thank anyone!" Li Xu waved his hand and suppressed the cheers of everyone. Based on everyone's recent performance on the battlefield, he announced the promotion of Zhou Daniu, Cen Wenjing, and Lu Qin to more than ten
After that, he promoted a few brave brigade leaders to be captains, added some documents, and ordered a few people to take up their duties directly. Then, Xuzi raised his hand in the direction of His Majesty the Emperor and announced that he had been recommended.
Cui Qian, Li Mengchang, Wang Qijin, and Zhang Xiu were appointed as the governors. The military affairs in Xiongwu Camp are currently very busy with more soldiers and fewer generals, so the four of them can fill in the gaps first and wait for the Ministry of War to reply.
Receive official seal
"Thank you for the recommendation, general!" Cui Qian, Zhang Xiu and others came out at the same time, stood in awe and held their hands, their gratitude was beyond words. Several of them have been in the army for a long time and know some unwritten rules. Xuzi is now the fifth rank exercising the authority of the fourth rank.
General Pinlang has the power to appoint officers below the sixth rank on his own. As for nominating and recommending generals from the fifth rank to the Ministry of War, it is his responsibility. The so-called waiting for a reply from the Ministry of War is just a routine formality.
"Do it for yourself. Our Xiongwu camp should not deny anyone's contribution!" Li Xu nodded and ordered the four of them to return to the team for the time being. Then, he announced in public that Supervisor Yuwen and himself had reported to the court Murong Luo, Li Anyuan, and Zhao Ziming.
Please take credit because the three of them are already in the fifth rank, so neither he nor Supervisor Yuwen can interfere with how the Ministry of War will reward them. However, the contribution of the three of them in the Battle of Liyang has been recorded in the credit book and will never be punished by anyone.
Omission
"Thank you, General!" Murong Luo and Li Anyuan came out at the same time and expressed their thanks loudly. This was the second time in three months that they had been recommended to the Ministry of War, and it was also the second time in their lives that after so many years of hard work in the army, the two of them had
People have never been so valued
"In the future, you have to ask Thor to wait for anything in the army!" Asahi sat upright in the handsome chair and warned with the serious expression he had just learned.
"We hope that only the general will obey!" Murong Luo and Li Anyuan responded at the same time that Zhao Ziming was seriously injured and has not recovered. Now, in addition to Li Xu and Yu Wenshi, there are two people with the highest positions in the Xiongwu Camp. Li Xu is anxious to summarize the reasons for the Battle of Liyang.
They knew clearly in their hearts what kind of reward Xuzi needed, and they were also very grateful. They also saw the hope of getting ahead, and they fought bravely in every battle. In several battles with the rebels in succession, their performance was not the same.
After being defeated by other government soldiers who came to protect the children, Chen Leng and other old generals saw this and praised General Xiao Li Lang for his good command of the army. He actually led a group of unruly Xiaoguo into the army in just a few months.
With elite soldiers and time, the Xiongwu camp must be the thin willow of the Sui Dynasty.
Xuzi knew that someone was deliberately setting himself on the fire, so he didn't interact with the generals too much. Whenever the Chinese army had an order, he would do it with all his heart, trying not to let others find any excuses. Six or seven more tough battles were fought.
, with the joint efforts of soldiers and horses from all walks of life, the Sui army gradually recaptured Yanshi, Baihua Valley, Yangwu and other important places from Li Zixiong, and the soldiers were getting closer and closer to Luoyang City.
Li Zixiong used military tactics very much to win, and all his soldiers worked hard. However, they were far behind the Sui army in terms of numbers and weapons. Therefore, every battle failed at the critical moment. Li Zixiong had no choice but to give up several strategic points one after another.
All the soldiers and horses in their hands were concentrated on the west bank of Yishui River, and they formed a formation by the water, hoping to fight the officers and soldiers to a life-or-death showdown.
It was mid-autumn, and the river was in a hurry. The officers and soldiers built several pontoon bridges, but Li Zixiong sent his dead men to set them on fire. Yu Wenshu was furious, and used his own special skills. He first used strong bows and crossbows to create a passage, and then ordered his elite soldiers to directly
Li Zixiong was not afraid to rush to the beach on a raft, and led the rebels to charge with arrows. The blood of soldiers on both sides dyed the Yi River red, and the officers and soldiers still failed to win a place to stay on the river beach.
To protect the children, Zhou Fashang and others thought that it was pointless to entangle with Li Zixiong like this. Instead of wasting time on the banks of the Yishui River, the army might as well circle north and go to the northwest of Luoyang to join forces with Wei Wensheng and Qu Tutong. As long as they defeated Yang Xuangan
Naturally, Li Zixiong couldn't make any more troubles. However, Yu Wenshu couldn't swallow the bad breath of having suffered losses at the hands of Li Zixiong several times. He insisted on breaking through the rebel defense line from the front. The generals tried to persuade the generals again. Yu Wenshu suddenly turned cold and picked up the coach's hand.
The airs were blown and everyone was kicked out of the Chinese military tent.
"This old guy never takes other people's lives seriously!" Li Xu muttered secretly in his heart, and followed the crowd out of the Chinese Army's stubbornness and stupidity towards Yu Wenshu. He also felt that he couldn't stand Li Zixiong on the other side of the Yishui, who was clearly trying to delay time.
Yang Xuangan himself was not here. If he delayed the main force of the Sui Dynasty by the Yishui River for one more day, Yang Xuangan would have one more chance of escape.
"Yang Xuangan wants to escape?" Suddenly, flashes of light flashed in Xu Zi's heart, "Yang Xuangan has given up attacking Luoyang. Otherwise, Li Zixiong wouldn't have fought against the imperial army again and again, knowing clearly that he was no match for the imperial army.
! This is this person’s usual tactic, just to sacrifice some people to preserve the main force!”
This idea was like fire, causing Li Xu to panic and inexplicably. Judging from the experience accumulated from several battles with Li Zixiong, this inference was basically correct. However, he could not make Yu Wenshu understand this truth. When he came to protect his children, Chen Leng and other veteran generals
He, the young general whom Yu Wenshu regarded as a thorn in his side, was even more helpless when it came to hitting a wall.
Just as he was thinking wildly, someone was chasing him from behind. "Old General Yuwen has an order for you to go to the Chinese Army for questioning!" The ordering soldier stopped in front of Li Xu, dropped a word, turned around and left without lowering his head.
The generals in the Xiongwu camp were furious, but there was nothing they could do about the people around Yuwenshu. "In the eyes of a dog, people are always as tall as it!" Li Xu smiled and joked, indicating that everyone should go back to the camp by themselves first.
Follow the messenger and slowly walk towards the Chinese army's tent
The storm that is coming will eventually come. If you can't avoid it, it's better to face him earlier. Adjusting your pace and breathing, you find that there is a vague expectation in your heart.
After the report, Xu Zi, a private soldier, led the Chinese army back in. All the generals had already resigned. At this moment, the Chinese army tent seemed empty and a bit deserted. Yu Wenshu turned his back to the door and was standing in Sheepskin.
In front of the map, he was studying strategies to defeat the enemy. When he heard the footsteps behind him, he turned around and gave Li Xu a half-polite smile.
"There are some things that I want to ask you personally, so I sent someone to call you back again. Don't blame me for being rude, General Li!" His speaking style was completely different from that of Yu Wenshiji. His vocabulary and tone were very particular, but it was surprising.
I felt equally uncomfortable, as if I was facing a bungara snake with its mouth full of venom, rather than an old man over sixty years old.
"Old General, you are so polite. If you have any orders, I am willing to serve you!" Li Xu gave a military salute and answered carefully.
"Don't be so restrained, just sit down." Yu Wenshu pointed to the bench next to him and made a gesture of invitation, "You have saved my father and son, and you are friends with me, so we should be closer!
"
"It's better to obey your orders than to be respectful!" Li Xu handed over his hand and thanked him. He couldn't guess the meaning of Yu Wenshu's words, so he simply didn't guess and waited for the old guy to figure out the topic by himself.
"There should be a seat for you beside me." Yu Wenshiji looked at Li Xu's face and deliberately emphasized.
Serving the Yuwen family, I'm sorry, I really don't have the guts. The reward from the Yuwen family is too unique, so unique that it is unbearable. Li Xu whispered in his heart, with a defensive smile still on his face, "Being able to serve the country under the old general,
I am very honored!" He deliberately emphasized the word "country" so that Yu Wenshu could hear it clearly.
After listening to Li Xu's answer, Yu Wenshu no longer hesitated and rubbed his hands with emotion. One side of his face was still full of kindness, while the other side was as hard as a rock. "I am looking for you this time because of state affairs. Today, all the old generals."
You have also heard the suggestion. I know that you have a keen grasp of fighter aircraft, so I want to hear your opinion on forcibly crossing Yishui!"
This topic was somewhat unexpected to Xu Zi. He originally thought that Yu Wenshu called him here this time to have a showdown with him and asked him to hand over the military power of the Xiongwu Camp to Yuwen Shiji. Unexpectedly, the other party really put his mind on this.
When it comes to state affairs, some prepared remarks are immediately useless. However, this just gives him a chance to express his opinions.
"I wonder if the old general has received news from General Qu Tutong recently. How is the war under Luoyang City?" Li Xu asked before expressing his opinion.
"The autumn water has surged in the past two days, and both Luoshui and Gushui are full. General Qu Tutong's messenger has to go around in a big circle to arrive. Therefore, the news I have here is that three days ago, Yang Xuangan suffered another defeat. He was in Luoyang
The bandits who were building a few roads in the north of the city and joining in the fun with him were also maimed by Qu Tutong, and they each fled into the mountains!" Yuwenshu thought for a while and answered.
"Does the old general think Yang Xuangan still has the strength to fight General Qu again?" Li Xu nodded. This is similar to what he judged. The key now is to know how much strength the enemy has left in a mortal battle. The strength of both sides needs to be almost the same.
Only under certain circumstances can you plan a war. Without strength, no matter how clever a plan is, it is just courting death.
"Do I have the strength?" Xuzi suddenly thought of Yang Xuangan. He felt that the cool autumn wind blowing into the military tent was particularly sobering.
