All the generals were stunned on the spot. They were so surprised by Li Tian's words that they were speechless. Most of these generals and officers were old subordinates who had followed Lord Wang Ping for many years, and they were basically Wang Ping's cronies. Although Lord Wang Ping
Their military power was reduced, but in the hearts of these old subordinates, they always felt that as long as Marshal Li Tian came back, Lord Wang Ping could still return to his position. So they didn't pay much attention to the handover of military power between Wang Ping and Wu Fei.
But what Li Tian said in person just now made the generals in the army have to rethink their options. Should they follow Li Tian? Or return to Da'an and follow Wu Fei's orders?
Now that the Prince of Da'an has not officially ascended the throne, the court is in chaos inside and outside the court. In addition, they have been working vigorously under Li Tian for the past year. These generals all understand that the most elite troops of Da'an are here. Without this
Da'an, the army of the six ethnic groups, had long been destroyed by the Qian family rebels. For more than a year of war, this army of the six ethnic groups was interspersed with cover and coordinated operations to maintain this confrontational situation.
The most fearful thing for generals who can fight is to follow an incompetent coach and feel angry after losing the battle. They are all optimistic about Li Tian in this regard, but they have no understanding of the situation of Wu Fei, who has just taken over.
The most important point is that these generals know very well that if they leave, they will not be able to take away a single soldier. The loyalty of the six tribes to Li Tian is not comparable to that of Emperor Da'an. Besides, they themselves are reluctant to part with it.
These subordinates, but the loyalty of these six tribesmen to Li Tian, they understand very well that when Li Tian tells them to go east, they will never go west. If they follow Li Tian, they will be stigmatized as traitors in Da'an.
, this is what they care about most.
Shengun had been silent since he entered the city. While everyone was discussing, Shengun sneaked out and came to Li Tian's room. He said very mysteriously: "Li Tian, I will help you get one hundred thousand taels of silver."
,How about it?"
"###, if you don't participate, they will still follow me." Li Tian was extremely dissatisfied with this act of taking advantage of others.
"Hey, time waits for no one. If it's too late, I won't be able to leave. It's only one hundred thousand taels." When the magic stick talked about money, he looked pitiful.
"Okay! That's it. As long as I can get these guys to follow me wholeheartedly, one hundred thousand is one hundred thousand." Li Tian gritted his teeth and agreed.
The magic stick quietly came to the hall again, cleared his throat, and said to the generals with a sacred look: "Generals, I know that everyone is in a difficult situation. Our country, Da'an, has always been peaceful and stable in the past hundred years.
It has been as chaotic as it is now. Since the beginning of Qian Fu's rebellion, Da'an has entered a turbulent era, and the people hate the rebels.
As a messenger of God, I am very sad about this. Unexpectedly, during the civil war in Da'an, chaos arose again. His Majesty the Emperor was assassinated, and everyone in the court was fighting for power. Few people really thought about the people. Since ancient times,
The harem was not allowed to interfere with the government affairs. Unexpectedly, the queen actually started to cause chaos in the harem, controlled the government affairs, and murdered the prince.
Moreover, he also reduced the military power of the beloved Lord Wang Ping. Poor Lord Wang Ping, once he enters Beijing, it may be difficult for him to come out alive. As a messenger of God, I am very sad, so I support him unswervingly.
Marshal Li Tian's position. This is not a rebellion against Da'an, but for the sake of the people and the people of the world. Let's think about it carefully." After saying that, the magic stick walked out again in a sacrosanct manner.
The enchanting words of the magic stick made the generals feel like they were in a state of enlightenment, and they suddenly woke up. Even the god's envoy said this, who is righteous and who is evil? Everyone is weighing it again. Especially, especially
The fate of Master Wang Ping mentioned by the magic stick made these generals so angry that they wished they could go to Da'an right now to rescue Master Wang Ping.
The magic stick ran to the room where Li Tian was resting and said excitedly: "Everything is done. You will give me 150,000 taels of silver, and you will give it back to me. You are not allowed to default on your debt."
"Fart! We agreed it would be 100,000, but you still want to raise the price on the ground."
"These are a group of generals who can fight hard. How much money will I have to spend to keep them? At least 120,000, otherwise I will go back to the hall to persuade them again." The magic stick has a rogue expression on his face, which is the same as in the hall just now.
It's completely different here.
"You're a big money addict, I'll be honest with you, let's make the deal." Li Tian reluctantly accepted this humiliating agreement, but he had dirty thoughts in his heart. Anyway, he planned to default on the bill.
Li Tian and Shengun returned to the hall. At this time, the generals no longer had the panic expressions they had just now. They all had resolute and serious expressions on their faces, as if they had made great determination.
"How is it, can everyone make a decision now?" Li Tian asked calmly.
All the generals in the hall pulled out their sabers with a swish. Li Tian and Shengun were so frightened that they did not dare to move. They were sweating. Shengun almost sat on the ground. Could it be that they were going to kidnap the two of them and stage a mutiny before the battle?
?
Von Toltai took a step forward. Everyone raised their swords and scratched their palms. Blood flowed from their palms. Von Toltai knelt on one leg, and all the generals also knelt down. In the hall
A deafening voice sounded, "From now on, we swear a blood oath here to follow you through fire and water, and we will never leave you, life or death."
"I will never leave you in life or death. I will never give up." This heart-warming voice echoed in the hall.
Shengun secretly wiped the sweat from his face. Now he could feel relieved. The blood oath of a samurai represented the highest oath. In this regard, Shengun believed very much that these people were fighting hard on the battlefield.
General, if Li Tian said this, he would not believe it. If Li Tian said that he was eating hotpot mutton at Dong Laishun on East Street, then you would be right to go to Cuihua Building on West Street to find him.
If you want to plan for the future, you must first unify your thoughts. With the help of the magic stick, Li Tian has achieved his goal. The next step is to order the withdrawal of troops to preserve his strength.
"Since everyone has chosen to follow me, Li Tian, I won't be polite. All generals, please obey your orders!" After Li Tian finished speaking, he walked behind the desk and picked up the order arrow.
"Generals Zhanfeng and Zhengyang listen to the order. I appoint you two as the right vanguard and deputy, leading 200,000 heavy cavalry and infantry to evacuate quickly. Go Chaodu and prepare an army to prepare for the Qian family's rebels to attack our city.
, there must be no mistakes.”
"Got the order!"
"Von Toltai listens to the order. I have appointed you as the left vanguard. Quickly lead an army of 150,000 to garrison in the alliance city between Da'an and Chaodu to prevent all Da'an troops from advancing towards Chaodu."
"Don't worry, Marshal, as long as I have breath, I will never take a step back! It's just that we are all gone and you only have 50,000 troops left. How can this be done?" Von Toltai expressed the doubts of the generals.
"I will personally lead the remaining 50,000 troops. I will lead the ghost military commander to victory and then lead him back to the Eastern Front. Wu Fei wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, so I dragged him into this messy water. There will be more excitement when there are more people.
"After Li Tian finished speaking, he chuckled twice.
"Marshal, are your 50,000 troops a little small? I think, if you transfer 100,000 from my side, I will only bring 50,000." Feng Toltai looked at Li Tian and said.
"No need, these 50,000 people are enough to lure them away. My purpose is to lure them away, not to fight them. I want to ask the ghost military advisor to follow my ass. So having more people is not good, so I will only bring light cavalry."
"Sir, we have one more request. Please rescue Mr. Wang Ping. We kneel down in front of you." After von Toltai finished speaking, everyone knelt down on the ground again, and some actually shed tears.
Li Tian looked at everyone inexplicably. What happened to Wang Ping? At most, he was under house arrest by the queen, so his life would definitely be fine? He glanced at the stick and knew that this guy might have said something, but he couldn't refute it, so he could only say:
"Generals, don't worry, that's my father-in-law, I will definitely find a way. Okay, it's late, let's start taking action."
When the generals saw that they could not persuade them, they could only clasp their fists and say: "Sir, take care!"
"Don't worry, brothers, the Bird Clan is here. We can contact you anytime and anywhere. If there are any changes, I will notify everyone immediately. Time is running out now. We must evacuate quickly before Yang Sheng's army forms an encirclement! One more thing, now we
We haven't completely broken with Da'an yet, and we are still Da'an's army in name, so don't have any conflicts unless absolutely necessary, and report to me in time if there is any situation." After Li Tian finished speaking, the generals immediately went to arrange their respective actions.
There was a busy scene in the border city, and their respective armies were busy setting off. Li Tian also came to the 50,000-strong headquarters military camp he led. Under the guidance of General Huang Gang, he visited the soldiers of the six tribes and asked about them.
The situation of the tunnels in the city.
"How long can you dwarves hide in there?" Li Tian asked a dwarf soldier who had participated in digging the tunnel.
"Marshal, the tunnels we dug in this city were made after many considerations. If they were from our own tribe, they would have no problem living in them for six months, and they could continue to dig in the tunnels, leading directly to the outside of the city."
When Li Tian heard this, he immediately became energetic. In his previous life, he had a tunnel battle to fight against the devils. In this life, we will also have a tunnel battle to fight against the ghost military advisors. Anyway, they all have the word "gui" in their names, so they can be regarded as members of our family.
"Great, General Huanggang, how many dwarves are there in these 50,000 troops?" Li Tian asked General Huanggang.
"Commander, most of the troops here are light cavalry from the Centaur tribe, and there are only four thousand dwarf infantry."
"Well, that's enough. I now order all the dwarves to stay. Destroy the tunnel entrance on the surface, keep the hidden entrance, and continue to stay in the city. Deploy ten bird tribe members to report the situation at any time. When the time comes,
Follow my orders." A sinister thought formed in Li Tian's mind.
