Li Hu looked at the chamberlain and asked: "My father-in-law, it is taboo to change generals before battle. What is your Majesty's intention?"
The chamberlain said: "Your Majesty's profound meaning can be speculated by us ordinary people at will, but General Li does not need to worry too much, because your Majesty gave special instructions when our family came, and now General Li Hu is because he is with the rebels.
He had some clues, so His Majesty was worried that General Li Hu would have scruples and that General Li Hu would be used by the rebels, so he specifically ordered a change of generals and let General Li Hu return to the court. As for the position of general, General Zhu Fangzhu
Take over.”
"Zhu Fang?" Li Hu said worriedly when he heard this: "General Zhu Fang is only familiar with the art of war and has never experienced actual combat. How can he use it to deal with the rebels?"
The chamberlain said: "Since it is His Majesty's wish, then General Zhu Fang is naturally favored by God, and since General Zhu is a three-generation military general, General Li Hu naturally does not need to worry."
"This..." Li Hu said unwillingly: "This father-in-law..."
The chamberlain interrupted Li Hu and said: "General Li, our family is just a messenger, and other things are not something our family can know. If General Li Hu has any doubts, he can complete the handover with General Zhu Fang and return to Beijing.
I will meet His Majesty in person for questioning. Our family has to return to the court to answer the decree, so we won’t stay any longer.”
After that, the waiter said goodbye and left.
Li Hu was startled when he saw such a scene. He already fully understood that no matter how hard he tried, His Majesty would never let him continue to guard the border.
Now His Majesty wants to attack, but he is only capable of defending and is not suitable for attacking. Your Majesty will definitely change his general.
Moreover, what Jiang Hong said when he came that day must have been recorded verbatim by the two military supervisors and presented to His Majesty.
Regardless of whether you are threatened by Jiang Hong or not, Your Majesty does not need to use you anymore.
At this time, it is obviously useless to tell His Majesty that Shuzhou is not as simple as it seems and has other conspiracies, because it will make Your Majesty feel that he is threatened by Shuzhou.
His Majesty is still suspicious of people and only believes in himself. Even if Li Hu has all-round means, it will be of no use.
Of course, if I had that powerful ability, I would probably become the second Dragon General.
Your Majesty will never allow the emergence of an omniscient, omnipotent, and especially good at fighting general, because in His Majesty's opinion, that is not a blessing to the State of Zhao, but a threat to the emperor.
Now if Li Hu himself goes to see His Majesty again to persuade him, it will only make His Majesty more suspicious of him. Now all he can do is do nothing. Going back to spend time with his family is probably the best choice.
At this time, Li Hu sighed, feeling quite lost. He stood up and saw Zhu Fang walking in.
Unlike Li Hu who was dejected, Zhu Fang was full of high spirits. He had been studying military science for many years and finally had a chance to show off his talents.
There is a poem by the King of Han of the Chu Kingdom: What you see on paper will eventually make you realize it is shallow, but you will definitely know that you have to do it in detail.
Now Zhu Fang feels that the time has come for him to put it into practice.
Zhu Fang looked at Li Hu and smiled and said, "General Li Hu has worked hard guarding the border for such a long time. Let me leave the next step to my general. This time I am ordered to destroy the enemy and regain the lost territory!"
Li Hu looked at such optimistic Zhu Fang and said with concern: "General Zhu, Shuzhou's goal has not been achieved at all. Everything they are doing now is probably a ploy. General Zhu Fang might as well write to your majesty to advise him,
If you can make peace, don't use weapons; if you can defend, don't attack easily."
Zhu Fang heard Li Hu's words and said with displeasure on his face: "General Li Hu, what do you mean by this? Could it be that Shuzhou can attack our Zhao State, but our Zhao State cannot fight back? General Li Hu, you are the one who defends the city."
As time has passed, have you become less courageous? Your Majesty’s order to this general is to attack and to recover lost ground. General Li Hu, do you think you understand strategy better than Your Majesty?”
"Ah this..." Li Hu was speechless after hearing Zhu Fang's words.
How could he, a mere border guard general who had witnessed Shuzhou's actions with his own eyes, understand the emperor's strategy better than Zhao Guo, who was firmly seated in the capital and could not even see the rebels?
Isn't this a joke?
Do you, a mere minister, dare to say that you know more than His Majesty?
At his wits' end, Li Hu finally sighed and retreated.
After Zhu Fang saw Li Hu leave, the high-spirited look on his face became even more high-spirited. In the eyes of the Zhu family, a veteran general, Li Hu was just a weakling who had not even read a few military books. How could An be able to compete with him?
Compared to him, a general who has been familiar with military literature since he was a child and has a profound knowledge?
Although I am young, I read a lot!
Didn’t Zhao Guo say that everything is inferior, only reading is good?
Read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles!
Having absorbed all the experiences of countless ancestors, is it no better than a weakling who only knows how to fight and figure things out on his own?
Now he came up with four clever strategies to destroy the rebels and regain Shuzhou based on the classics of the sages!
As long as the handover is completed and the army is under his control, he can immediately send troops to take back Shuzhou.
As for Shuzhou’s trick?
Shuzhou also has to have money to lay out such a huge strategy?
A mere female general who only reached the rank of captain is now taking advantage of the opportunity to rebel?
It seems that he doesn't want to teach her a lesson, but Long Bing'er looks really cold and arrogant. A few years ago, he saw her once at a palace banquet. Her cold appearance really made people feel itchy.
He likes to conquer such ice beauties, if he can capture them alive...
The army has not yet been dispatched, and at this time Zhu Fangfang is still fantasizing about what he should do if he wins.
However, the handover of hundreds of thousands of troops is not that easy. Zhao Guo likes formality and grand spectacle.
Even if Zhu Fang looked down on Li Hu, a general with a mud-legged background, he still had to pull off a trick of three push and three persuasion.
While Li Hu was giving the seal to the general, Zhu Fang shied away, saying that it was difficult for him to take on such a big job, so he asked your majesty to tell him that he was ashamed and ashamed.
This is also the reason why Li Hu is unwilling to change generals before the battle. In addition to being bad for the army, this handover ceremony is also really troublesome.
Maybe now that the news of their general change has reached Shuzhou City, some bullshit ceremony is still being held here.
You can just accept it, and who are you going to show it to?
Xu Qing, who was far away in Shuzhou, had received it, but he had no time to see it. At this time, Xu Qing was sitting in the Nuan Pavilion, feeding Long Bing'er some candied haws.
Long Bing'er sat sideways on Xu Qing's lap, her legs under the black skirt swaying slightly, her toes touching the ground slowly, she lightly opened her red lips and took a bite of the candied haws Xu Qing handed to her mouth.
Xu Qing's other hand was still around Long Bing'er's waist, supporting her.
Long Bing'er now likes eating sour food more and more, just like Su Qian back then. Fortunately, Xu Qing, who can make candied haws, can cope with it.
Just when Long Binger was about to swallow the candied haws in her mouth, she suddenly frowned.
There seems to be something dishonest about where I sit...
