Chapter two hundred and ninety-eight proposed sub-camp
Liu Yulie called the names one by one according to the roster, and the military attachés who were called answered "No!", "No!", "No!" one by one... until Wu Shigong was called at the end. When Wu Shigong said "No!"
, he felt that the eyes of Liu Yulie and his staff were directed at him after the major case.
Wu Shigong did not raise his head and look at Liu Yulie, which was rude. Anyway, those eyes could not hurt Wu Shigong. But this was Wu Shigong's misunderstanding. Rather than saying that these eyes were hostile, it was better to say that these eyes were curious. Liu Yulie and the staff just wanted to take a look.
, which military attache was so bold. Just like that, the big tent was quiet for a while.
So the military attachés suffered for a long time after Liu Yulie's roll call was completed. But to everyone's surprise, when Liu Yulie spoke again, he did not mention yesterday's battle, but actually began to discuss the military situation at hand.
"Everyone, thanks to your efforts in the last battle, the rebels also suffered heavy losses and were unable to attack our army again. However, their combat power has not been lost. Therefore, in addition to sending additional reinforcements to the court, I also want to take advantage of this small
Sheng recruits the rebels again."
"The most important things at hand are two things. Although this is a small victory, it is also a lose-lose situation. Therefore, I decided to station the entire army on the spot to prevent the rebels from spreading throughout Shandong. However, we must also exercise caution and not disrupt the situation.
The overall situation of recruitment has been determined. Do you have any objections?"
Liu Yulie had already written a eloquent memorial about the great victory last night and sent it to the court on flying horses. Of course, in the memorial, he did point out the heavy losses of the Ming army this time without the other party paying attention, but it was relatively clear.
The military's military results were achieved, and those losses were ignored.
Liu Yulie indeed requested the imperial court to send additional reinforcements in the memorial and once again proposed to appease the rebels.
However, in today's discussion with the military attaches, Liu Yulie couldn't brag in front of those who knew the details of the battle, so he changed the "big victory" in the memorial to a "small victory", and the "one-sided victory" to "a mutual loss".
There was no objection from any military attache to Liu Yulie's words. If Liu Yulie could turn this defeat into a great victory in the court, all the military attaches would be happy to see it happen.
And whether Liu Yulie wanted to fight or appease, that was the concern of the civil servants in the court, and there was no place for the military attachés to speak. To be honest, the military attachés still tended to appease. Faced with the strong backbone of Kong Thief,
The military attaches were not interested in consuming their strength for the sake of the imperial court, so it was best to appease the Kong thieves without losing any blood.
And it is also necessary to defend on the spot. If the Kong thief comes again, he will always resist. He can't retreat anymore, otherwise, the boast of a great victory in the court will be blown away.
It's broken.
So all the military attaches saluted and said in unison: "I will obey your orders!"
Seeing that everyone in the tent had unanimously agreed, Liu Yulie nodded with satisfaction, and then began to discuss the detailed arrangements. It was nothing more than who would transport food, who would inquire about the rebels, and how to reorganize the remnants of the army and other troops.
trivia.
Anyway, Wu Shigong was standing at the end of the big tent, making soy sauce. Today's big tent meeting did not involve Wu Shigong, the lowest military attache, talking too much. Besides, if Wu Shigong opened his mouth, those military attaches who had their subordinates and Runing's campfire yesterday would have to use sticks to lead them.
What if Bang Di and Wu Shi Gong quarrel?
Although Wu Shigong was not afraid of quarreling with those military attachés, in the end he had the absolute upper hand in the fight. It would be better to do less of this kind of thing of getting an advantage and being obedient.
But Wu Shigong wanted to make a fool of himself, but some people still refused to let him go. When they were discussing who should be sent to spy on the rebels' movements, Qiu Lei said in a strange way: "Wu Shigong is both loyal and brave, and he has to be the one to do this."
!”
Qiu Lei is very bad, and the army in advance is definitely the most dangerous. Moreover, the governor Liu Yulie has set a policy of appeasement, in case there is friction between the army in front of the army and the rebels, and the appeasement fails in the end.
, then this scapegoat is basically laid on the frontline army.
What is even more sad is that the troops in the front will definitely have friction with the rebels. At the very least, the spies from both sides must be scouted and strangled. Moreover, the troops in the front are like fighting the rebels with one hand tied.
, those who are timid when the time comes will definitely be in danger.
Qiu Lei's words suddenly silenced the big tent. Everyone understood Qiu Lei's sinister intentions, but no one was willing to excuse Wu Shigong and get into trouble. No one was willing to accept this sudden hard work by themselves.
The same is true for Governor Liu Yulie. Since Qiu Lei has become a villain and pushed Wu Shigong to the head, he is also happy to see the result. At the same time, he is also disgusted with the ungrateful Henan Qiu Ba in front of him.
After Wu Shigong thought about it for a while, he calmly bowed his hands and said tepidly: "If the Governor has an order, I will obey it. However, I still have a few requests."
"Say it!" Seeing that Wu Shigong had agreed to solve this troublesome problem, Liu Yulie's expression also softened.
"The general's Runing camp rushed forward to explore the enemy's situation, and they used all cavalry. However, when the general was cutting off the rear, the horses were too damaged. I kindly ask you to mobilize a group of mules and horses for the general to prepare for military use."
Wu Shigong's first condition was also very reasonable, so Liu Yulie asked: "Then how much do you want?"
"At least five hundred horses."
Liu Yulie thought for a while and said: "Now the army is in short supply of mules and horses. Let me get you 300 first. After the baggage from Qingzhou is dispatched, I will find a way to make up for it for you."
Since there was no way to escape the unexpected fate, Wu Shigong didn't care about anything else, he just grabbed the immediate benefits first. Whether he would make up for it in the future, he at least got 300 mules and horses first. So Wu Shigong also
Very satisfied.
So Wu Shigong bowed his hands again and said: "Thank you very much, Governor-General. However, the general's Runing camp still has a problem, and we need your help from the Governor-General."
"The Runing camp of the last general is a guest army from Henan. It was passing through Shandong to aid Liaodong. But it happened that the Confucius rebelled and left it here. It is also the duty of the last general to kill the thieves. But our soldiers in the Runing camp are not paid
But the food and grass are nowhere to be found. So I beg you, sir, to make the final decision for the general."
Wu Shigong's question immediately aroused the resonance of some guest army military attaches in the big tent. As we have already known in the previous article, the food and salary supply for the guest armies in the Ming Dynasty was a very complicated issue. To put it simply, Wu Shigong and other guest armies were not able to operate in Shandong.
The collection of food and wages must be handled by the local area where the guest army is located.
Wu Shigong's Runing Battalion was originally supplied with food and salary through the official warehouses along the Grand Canal, but now the Runing Battalion has been fighting in Shandong. It is not known how long this battle will last. If their food and salary are not supplied in Shandong
If it were to be shipped from Henan, wouldn’t that be a joke?
This issue is quite realistic. Therefore, no matter how conflicting the military attaches in the big tent are, they still stand together in terms of interests.
Of course, Liu Yulie would not set up obstacles for Wu Shigong on this issue, so he immediately replied: "Don't worry, Wu Shou Bei. As the governor, I am not only the governor of military affairs, but also the governor of the place. There is absolutely no problem with your food and grass supply. However,
As for military pay, I will also go to the court to fight for you as much as I can. However, I will just say here that as long as the Kong thieves are defeated, I will not take a penny from the court's generous reward, but will all be distributed to you soldiers who have made meritorious services."
Liu Yulie's answer was also quite sincere. At least Wu Shigong's supply of grain and grass was secured. So Wu Shigong was relatively satisfied. So Wu Shigong bowed and thanked him again.
Liu Yulie then asked: "Wu Shoubei, is there anything else you need my help with?"
"Thank you very much, Lord Governor, for your kindness. I will definitely live up to your trust."
This made Liu Yulie stunned. He didn't expect that Wu Shigong would accept this difficult task after mentioning these two conditions. Henan Qiu Ba still knew the importance. Liu Yulie also felt that Wu Shigong was flattered.
Some.
But before Liu Yulie could completely relax, Wu Shigong continued: "Sir, now let me tell you the general's plan for the advance of Runing Camp."
