After Li Danqing's efforts, the conflicts and frictions between the Red Dragon Army and the White Armor Army were reduced a lot.
The White Armor Army was the name given to the private soldiers recruited by Xiang Luowen, led by Bai Lingjia.
But although the relationship between the Red Dragon Army and the White Armor Army is no longer as tense as before, there is also a lot of restraint between them.
But after all, these changes are only superficial.
Just like what Li Danqing said, the Red Dragon Army and the White Armor Army represented by Gu Quan and Bai Lingjia certainly had their reasons for not dealing with them. But the real reason was that they were unwilling to go to the front, and they were able to be together with them.
In the evening, the Liao army, which wiped out the White Wolf Army, faced the enemy.
Therefore, even if Li Danqing suppressed the fight between them, these old fritters would try another one if their plan failed.
First, he made various excuses for finalizing the march route. Then he made various excuses on the grounds that the food and grass supplies were not in place. Then he was not acclimatized and asked Longxiang Mansion to prepare all the medicines. In short, Li Danqing solved the problem.
As soon as it was troublesome, they would raise new questions. In any case, they were unwilling to obey Li Danqing's order to send troops.
After dragging on for four or five days, the Liao people had already established a firm foothold in Wangshan County and Qionglai County. The few defenders in the two counties were forced to surrender, and a large number of refugees poured in from the four counties.
Now, even Wuyang City cannot take over so many refugees, so they can only settle them outside Wuyang City and give out some rice and porridge every day.
But everyone knows this is just a stopgap measure.
More refugees are still on the way. Once the number of refugees reaches a certain level, Wuyang City will be unable to supply them, and the number of refugees will change, which will be another disaster.
Under such circumstances, voices about moving the capital began to emerge again in the court.
Li Danqing, who held an army of 200,000 and clamored to lead troops to meet the enemy, but was reluctant to send troops, suddenly became the target of verbal and written criticism from the people of Wuyang City due to rumors spread by interested people.
It is believed that Li Danqing was reluctant to send troops because he was timid.
It's just that Li Danqing, the person involved, is not as angry as everyone imagined.
At this moment, our Prince Li is sitting in the big tent of the military camp, drinking tea leisurely, accompanied by Qingzhu and Xia Xianyin. One is looking through the directory of 200,000 troops, and the other is checking the topography of Luwu County.
Kanyu.
Outside the big tent, 200,000 troops were undergoing training.
Since yesterday morning, Li Danqing once again proposed sending troops, but after being rejected by Gu Quan and Bai Lingjia for various reasons, Li Danqing stopped mentioning the matter and instead asked them to start training.
Such a proposal is naturally extremely legitimate. Even if Gu Quan and Bai Lingjia have their own thoughts, they can't find any reason to refuse.
What's more, for them, as long as Li Danqing is not allowed to take them to the front to die, they are happy to do whatever they are told.
At this time, the big tent was pushed open, and Gongsun Zhihuo walked into the big tent in a hurry.
When he saw Li Danqing sitting there drinking tea, his face suddenly turned ugly. He hurriedly stepped forward, looked at Li Danqing and said, "Why is the prince still interested?"
Please stay here and drink tea! Rumors are going crazy outside, saying that His Royal Highness is proud of his troops, does not follow the imperial decree, and is cowardly and afraid of war!"
Li Danqing glanced at Gongsun Zhi, said nothing, just picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and then said: "It's just a few rumors, nothing serious, why should General Gongsun be panicked?"
Isn't this a big deal?
When Gongsun Zhi heard this, his eyes widened and he looked at Li Danqing in disbelief.
He couldn't tell for a moment whether Prince Li was really stupid or pretending to be stupid.
After much thought, he decided to tell the other party his speculation, so he said: "Don't you understand, Prince?"
"At the beginning, the Crown Prince overcame all opinions in the court and decided to send troops to meet the enemy. But after so long, the court asked for people and food, but the Crown Prince never sent troops. These days, from the four counties
More and more refugees are coming, and there are complaints among the people. Now the court has put all the blame on the crown prince."
"Xiang Luowen and his group are already dissatisfied with the Crown Prince. If these rumors are exploited by them again, they may become a sharp sword that takes people's lives."
"Your Majesty... people's words are scary, you must be on guard against them!"
The friendship between Gongsun Zhi and Li Danqing cannot be said much, except that Li Mulin promoted him slightly and he returned the ring for Li Danqing. In fact, most of this favor was repaid long ago, and later Li Mulin carried out the regicide.
When he was charged with crimes, he helped Li Danqing convey a vital message.
If there is anyone in Wuyang City who sincerely treats Li Danqing.
Then Gongsun Zhi must be among the best.
This advice is also heartfelt.
But after hearing this, Li Danqing stood up, reached out and gently patted Gongsun Zhi on the shoulder and said, "I understand the general's concerns."
"But you have seen the current situation. It's not that Li Danqing is unwilling to send troops, it's that Bai Lingjia and Gu Quanduo are making things difficult. Even though I have the heart to save the country, I can't stand alone!"
"Of course these subordinates understand." Gongsun Zhiyan said: "But the subordinates don't know enough about these things. The people of Wuyang City don't know, nor do the hundreds of thousands of refugees outside the city. In the end, they will only use this account
It’s the crown prince’s fault!”
Li Danqing shrugged upon hearing this and said, "What can we do? By the way, what was the result of their training today?"
Li Danqing's mind wandered, and he suddenly switched from the life-and-death topic just now to this matter. This made Gongsun Zhi stunned, and subconsciously responded: "It's not particularly ideal. The prince is also here, and the Red Dragon Army and
The White Armor Army belonged to two factions before this..."
Halfway through his words, he realized something was wrong and quickly changed the subject: "Your Majesty, this is not an important matter now..."
"Why isn't this an important matter?" Li Danqing looked sideways at him and asked with a playful expression.
"There are constant rumors. What the prince has to do now is to persuade Gu Quan and Bai Lingjia to send troops..." Gongsun Zhi said anxiously.
"Why send troops?" Li Danqing asked again.
This question seems a bit superfluous.
It is enough to ask questions knowingly.
Although he couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Li Danqing was selling in his gourd, Gongsun Zhi still responded truthfully at this time: "Of course he is from Fang Liao."
"But these 200,000 people are like a pile of loose sand. What else can they do except die? Is the life of these 200,000 soldiers not life?" Li Danqing asked at this time.
"In this battle, which has no chance of winning, in my eyes, it doesn't matter whether we fight or not. It's better to let them live well. It's better than death anyway, right?"
When Gongsun Zhi heard this, he couldn't tell what was wrong with Li Danqing's remarks, but he felt strange: "But wasn't it that the prince strongly advocated fighting those Liao people at the beginning? Why now..."
"The war must be fought, but it cannot be fought like this." Li Danqing seemed to understand Gongsun Zhi's doubts. He said this at this time, interrupted the other party's words, and then said: "By the way, just now you said that the White Armored Army and the Red Army
The progress of the Dragon Army's integration is very slow, do you think this is a dereliction of duty on the part of Bai Lingjia and Gu Quan, who are the commanders?"
Gongsun Zhi was stunned when he heard this, then his eyes lit up and he immediately realized what he said.
He nodded quickly: "This is indeed the fault of the two of them who failed to manage the army well!"
"In that case, then pass on my military order to remove the two of them from their official positions, and then disrupt and redistribute the formations of the Xuanwu Army, the Red Dragon Army and the White Armor Army."
After saying that, Li Danqing turned around and glanced at Xia Xianyin, who was flipping through the roster.
Xia Xianyin stood up at this time and handed over the newly compiled directory: "General Gongsun, I have reorganized the new directory. Let's reorganize the army according to the directory above. This matter is complicated and we have time.
It's very tight, General Gongsun, thank you for your hard work."
Hearing this, Gongsun Zhi quickly shook his head and said, "That's right."
After that, he took the directory from Xia Xianyin's hand and took a brief look at it.
This sight made his heart skip a beat.
As Li Danqing himself said, he disrupted and redistributed the original organization of the 200,000-strong army. However, in this redistribution list, each camp had more than ten people, and the ten camps were under the jurisdiction of a centurion.
.
Among these people, either the centurion was a member of the Xuanwu Army, or more than half of the tent keepers in the ten camps were members of the Xuanwu Army.
This is equivalent to letting people from the Xuanwu Army sit in the position of supervising the soldiers.
Although they are not important positions, these positions can have direct contact with the soldiers at the bottom. As long as they are operated properly, when the organization is disrupted, the original system collapses, and everyone cannot join the regiment for warmth, it is easy for these low-level officers to
You can gain the trust of the soldiers.
And as the commander of the Xuanwu Army.
Gongsun Zhiwuyi will be the biggest beneficiary of this.
After thinking about this, Gongsun Zhi's face suddenly flushed. He raised his head and looked at Li Danqing, looking a little excited.
"Go ahead. General Gongsun will never disappoint me." Li Danqing smiled and stopped what Gongsun Zhi was about to say.
Hearing this, Gongsun Zhi nodded solemnly: "I will definitely live up to the great trust of the prince!"
