At this moment, Varo's commander's tent was in chaos. General Varo, who was stationed in Kuitun, and General Fuhai Varo's camp came to Karamay.
"Old General! Let's fight! There's no need to delay! If you hesitate even a little bit, those traitorous ministers in the court will add insult to injury!"
"That's right! Old General! We have no choice now!"
"There must be informers in the army! This matter is so big! You can't hide it, old general!!"
Varro veteran Trooscudo sat in his commanding position and looked at the excited faces of the crowd with a smile on his face. His smile grew even louder... and everyone was stunned.
"Old General? Why...are you still in the mood to laugh??"
"The Seventh Prince is in the hands of the other party! If you don't go, there is no guarantee that Your Majesty will...!!"
"Okay, okay!" Troosculdo said in a deep voice while smiling: "I can understand your mood very well. As for me...hehe, I am already prepared to lose my official position...
...Everyone, please be patient and let me analyze it slowly for you, okay?"
Hearing this, some of the more than a dozen Varro generals frowned, some felt sad, and some sighed, but they all became silent. This shows the high prestige of the old general in the Varro army.
Seeing that all the generals had calmed down, Guldo smiled again and said loudly and slowly with his old and hoarse voice: "Everyone, to tell the truth, I really hope that I can have a magic bow! Here!
Set up a bow and shoot arrows in the camp! Then you can kill that idiot prince with one arrow!"
As soon as the veteran finished speaking, several generals stood up and wanted to remind the veteran to be careful in their words and deeds. However, when Guldo directly raised his hand and waved it, they could only sit down angrily.
"My old life is only a few years old anyway, so it's not a pity... If you die, you will die! But these 150,000 elites we brought out this time! Those are my Varo's blood!!! Can't be hurt!
Ah!!!!" The more Guldo said, the more excited he became. He stood up with a strong support, walked in front of everyone, and scanned the faces of more than a dozen generals...
"More than half of the generals in this handsome camp are all from a small soldier. I have watched them grow step by step, be promoted again and again, and have passed through countless lives and deaths before they sit in the position of general today..."
After Gurdo finished speaking, several generals who had been promoted and favored by the old generals had red eyes. Some people couldn't help it and turned around to wipe their tears secretly...
They knew in their hearts that the old general had already made a decision when he said these words... Now, he was saying goodbye to them...
Guldo looked at these generals he had single-handedly promoted, smiled happily, and continued: "I know that it is not easy for you to sit in the position you are in today... It is true that it is not easy... But I am here today.
I’m begging you for this!!!!”
After Guldo finished speaking, he knelt down directly in front of the generals at the age of more than seventy years old. Everyone was shocked, looked frightened, and almost collapsed. They all stepped forward to help the old general up, but Guldo
Raising his hand, he pushed everyone away with a pair of white eyebrows and cold eyes.
Waiting for them, he continued: "I only ask you for this one time in this life! Even if the court issues a decree to change the commander! You must not lead troops to attack the city!!! That will put me, Varro, in a state of eternal disaster!
!!I beg you on my knees!!!”
After saying that, the old general fell to the ground and worshiped, but the generals couldn't bear it anymore. No matter how the old general refused, a group of people stood up Guldo forcefully, and several generals even half-knelt on the ground, using
Brushing the dirt off the old general's trousers, the camp was filled with sadness and silence. However, this oath without a few words was far more reliable than the perfunctory words...
seven days later
Emperor Xuansi in Dihua City seemed to be in a particularly good mood. He actually practiced musket shooting at the shooting range in the military camp...
Although I really can’t praise my marksmanship...
"Hahaha! I'm old... I can't bear to be old! I can't even see the target clearly!!" Emperor Xuansi said as he handed the rifle he had just fired to the guard beside him.
And the several generals who were stood behind him who were promoted by him looked at each other in confusion. A group of rough guys didn't know how to answer... Only Xiao Zhezi stood up at this time and whispered: "Your Majesty is in charge of the world's troops.
However, these means of killing the enemy can be left to the generals..."
After these instructions, the generals all started to understand, and they all said in a flurry of words: "Yes! Yes! Your Majesty, just issue your decree, and I will fight on your behalf!"
"Your Majesty, who is rich in gold, just give the order! We are all sworn to serve!!"
"Yes! That...ah yes!!"
Emperor Xuansi turned around and looked at this group of big and thick men, and smiled. He wished he could have a few more "Confucian generals" who were both wise and brave... But unfortunately, it is often difficult to follow one's will in everything.
At this moment, He Yougui, who was looking for Emperor Xuansi everywhere, finally found out where His Majesty was and rushed over. When he got close, he bowed and said loudly: "Your Majesty, a messenger has come to report that the 30,000 Shanshan Army led by Cao Yuanzhao has arrived.
We arrived at Yiwu and camped ten miles along the river, guarding the only channel through which we could sneak attack our army's rear."
So where is Yiwu?
There is a river in Yiwu, and further forward! It is the 500-mile uninhabited and dangerous artery without any fresh water resources that Emperor Xuansi led 20,000 cavalry to attack Dihua!
At the beginning, He Yougui had already explained this point to Emperor Xuansi in the commander's tent.
Your Majesty can go there, even if the enemy has many horses and water bags, he can go... Therefore, this loophole must be sealed, otherwise if Varro passes through this passage and goes straight to the Yumen Pass in the rear, it will completely cut off our army's food route.
The person assigned this task is his most capable general, Cao Yuanzhao! And the deputy general is Xu Hui, who was given the "New Fallen Bandit" by Yan Bing in the Jinluan Palace.
Although in terms of rank, Xu Hui was two levels older than Cao Yuanzhao, and in terms of age, Cao Yuanzhao had to call Xu Hui his elder brother, but Old Man He made such an arrangement, even Xu Hui himself had no objection, and He Yougui was naturally happy to do so.
"Cao Yuanzhao... I have an impression of this person. He seems to be young, right?" Emperor Xuansi said, taking the hand towel handed over by Xiao Zhezi and wiping the sweat on his hands.
"This year he is just twenty-three, but your majesty, don't look at his age! This boy is a wizard at leading troops! I just give you a little guidance, and he can often draw inferences! What a talent!" He Yougui said about his men.
This young general's face was immediately filled with radiance, as if Cao Yuanzhao was his own son. He was so proud that Emperor Xuansi couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Learn from one instance...? Then call him in next time for discussion. I will test him personally!" Emperor Xuansi glanced at He Yougui with disdain, but in his heart he had a plan to "seize his son"...
…
However, He Yougui was completely unaware of Emperor Xuansi's plan. He just felt that he had found an opportunity for promotion for his "treasure pimple", and immediately bowed over joyfully and said: "My lord! I accept the decree!!"
After saying that, he stood up and laughed heartily, while Emperor Xuansi looked at him with squinted eyes and laughed heartily...
