Li Xingchen's words slowly fell, and all the generals on the stage subconsciously held their breath. Chen Zhishen, Cao Zhong and others looked awe-inspiring. They knew what Li Xingchen meant.
A moment of negligence does not mean that the entire situation is irreversible. They still have time and they can still fight hard. What's more, the matter has come to an end and they will face a brand new battle situation next.
They and the Northern Zhou Dynasty will stand on a fair battlefield again. This time Huarong Dao was frustrated, and next time they will use the blood of the enemy to wash away this shame.
Seeing the increasingly serious expressions of Chen Zhishen and others, Li Xingchen knew that they had understood what he meant. In fact, he came to the military camp in person in the early morning just to stabilize the morale of the army.
Although the main available troops under Li Xinchen have already set off for Zhangchuan County, everyone knows that the main force that Li Xinchen really relies on is the more than a thousand people who stayed in Jiangling City, because these are the subordinates that Li Xinchen brought out single-handedly.
Therefore, Li Xingchen had to ensure that Chen Zhishen, Cao Zhong and others had high morale and continued to follow his banner and charge forward without any psychological burden.
Of course, in addition to appeasing Chen Zhishen and others, Li Xingchen also had another very important thing to do, which was to meet Lu Zhiwu, the subordinate Xiao Mohe had just assigned to him.
In fact, as soon as he stepped onto the general platform, Li Xingchen knew that the burly young man standing opposite Chen Zhishen and the others was Lu Zhiwu. This young man, who was only in his twenties, was about the same age as Pei Zilie, and he was at the peak of his competitiveness.
Because he inherited the kindness of his late father, the previous head of the Lu family, Lu Zilong, Lu Zhiwu had a relatively high starting point. He only had to follow Wu Mingche in Luliang for a while and he easily became a partial general.
But having said that, if Lu Zhiwu has no other merits, it may not be so easy for him to continue to be promoted smoothly. After all, there are so many aristocratic families in the southeast, and the court cannot keep promoting Lu Zilong just because he has great achievements.
His descendants.
This is why Lu Zhiwu has no objection to being able to follow Li Xingchen, a rising star from a poor family, because he also wants to make a real contribution to his career.
Li Xingchen still had great expectations for this young man, because it was said that during the Battle of Luliang, he had followed Xiao Mohe into the enemy's formation on horseback several times, and he was quite familiar with the tactics of surprise troops.
Li Xingchen didn't ask him to learn all the skills that Xiao Mohe was famous for, such as the Qingqi charge and the capture of the flag - after all, Xiao Mohe was a monster in this regard. As long as he could learn a few or eight, it would be enough.
Already.
In terms of generals, what Li Xingchen needs is not a general at all. As for generals, he himself or even Xiao Shilian, Pei Zilie and others are obviously more suitable. What he needs is a striker and fierce general like Xiao Mohe.
.
Obviously Lu Zhiwu is such a character, which can be seen from his physique and name alone. Especially now that Li Xingchen is not confident about letting Chen Zhishen, who is in charge of the Chinese Army, leave, Lu Zhiwu is obviously the best choice for the forward.
As for Cao Zhong, he has a stable character. If something suddenly happens, he may lose his sense of proportion. In fact, he is not a suitable candidate for the forward. It makes him more suitable to command the flank. Previously, Li Xingchen asked him to open the way in front, which was a bit lame.
Pick up the general.
However, Li Xingchen still knew how to be close, so he did not rush to greet the new generals such as Lu Zhiwu, but first comforted Chen Zhishen, Cao Zhong and others. Only by working together as a family can he better unite with these new generals.
Together, right?
As for what happened on the school field, Li Xingchen knew it at a glance.
Obviously guys like Chen Zhishen gave Lu Zhiwu and the others a very good attack, and this attack was obviously more shocking and reliable than any verbal provocation and insult, or any other one-on-one fight.
After all, the fighting on the battlefield is not a few people insulting each other, nor is it a one-on-one fight, but the desperate efforts of one army after another, relying not only on the bravery of an individual, but also on the power of words. Therefore, the drill between the two armies,
It's obviously better than all other methods.
Lu Zhiwu and others looked strange, and Li Xingchen could guess what was going on.
It seemed that the two sides were evenly matched, and even Lu Zhiwu's subordinates were elite soldiers carefully selected by Xiao Mohe from various ministries. Logically speaking, they should not have fought so badly, but in fact Lu Zhiwu ignored one thing, and that was the soldiers under his command.
Most of these soldiers are proud and powerful generals, and when they are gathered together, they are naturally not only dissatisfied with their opponents, but also with each other.
This makes Lu Zhiwu's subordinates look powerful, but in fact they are nothing short of a mess.
What's more, the soldiers and horses under Chen Zhishen and others are especially idle people. These soldiers who followed Li Xingchen from the south bank of the river to Zhangshan County made the greatest contribution in the entire Jiangling Battle, even if they added a lot later.
New recruits, but this kind of military spirit and sense of belonging cannot be worn away.
Not to mention competing with friendly forces, even if they faced an enemy several times their size, they would still scream and rush forward. Moreover, Chen Zhishen was responsible for training soldiers before, and he was very involved in the arrangement of formations, the control of morale, etc.
He has his own uniqueness, which is why Li Xingchen can safely leave all his recruit training to Chen Zhishen.
Therefore, it will be easy for an army that can cooperate closely and have high morale to deal with an army that even has conflicts with each other.
"Lu Zhiwu, see the bandit general!" Lu Zhiwu stepped forward and said with his hands raised. Of course, he would not wait stupidly for Li Xinchen to come forward and talk to him. In any case, he would be obeying orders under Li Xinchen in the future, not to mention the soldiers under Li Xinchen's command just now.
His performance was enough to impress Lu Zhiwu.
Li Xingchen smiled and nodded: "I have admired General Ren for a long time, and I have high expectations for General Ren to fight bravely."
Lu Zhiwu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He had heard about this youngest bandit general in Dachen many times before, but this was just hearsay and could not really be used as a theoretical basis for judgment, let alone these hearsays.
Many of them were obvious exaggerations, and Lu Zhiwu just laughed it off.
At this time, seeing Li Xingchen with his own eyes, Lu Zhiwu felt at ease. Obviously, this gangster general was not the brilliant and ruthless person in the legend, but just a young man who seemed easy to get along with.
However, Lu Zhiwu did not dare to take it lightly. After all, the arrogant and powerful generals under Li Xingchen were able to defeat Lu Zhiwu and others, but they were respectful to Li Xingchen, which showed that this young general must be outstanding.
Li Xingchen greeted the generals behind Lu Zhiwu one by one, and then looked at the soldiers and horses on the school field. There were more than 2,000 people in total, and they had already begun daily drills.
After all, it is only morning, and the discussion between the two sides cannot be the only thing they do in the day. Especially the generals under Lu Zhiwu have realized their shortcomings and stepped up training of their soldiers, otherwise they will lose people and be held back on the battlefield.
