Qi Feihong blamed himself a little, but in fact, the battlefield situation was changing rapidly. Who dares to say that his decision is absolutely correct, and who can guarantee victory in every battle?
As long as war exists, it is impossible for people to die, let alone a truly victorious general. Faced with Qi Feihong's self-blame, Zhao Hai and others tried to persuade him, and Qi Feihong gradually let go. Although he still regretted the sacrifices of the soldiers, his mood seemed to have improved.
"National Preceptor, I suddenly feel that attacking the Immortal Golden Immortal is not the best way. I wonder if the Imperial Preceptor has a better way to directly capture the Immortal Golden Immortal, so as to prevent the soldiers from fighting bloody battles and causing countless casualties..."
Zhao Hai shook his head: "There are many capable people under the command of the Immortal Golden Immortal. He will never surrender easily. This battle is unavoidable. The king's strategy of encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao has played a very good role this time, but it has also exposed many problems. I am bold. Please hold the general power firmly in your hands, and provide unified command from now on, to prevent some people from taking the decision without authorization and ruining major events."
Qi Feihong was stunned: "What does the Imperial Master mean by this?"
Zhao Hai said: "What I am referring to is that General Li Zheng led a large army to attack Pingyi City, but he risked his life because he wanted to rescue the soldiers trapped in Pingyi City. As a result, the entire army was almost annihilated. Please. The Lord of the Kingdom said bluntly, if General Li Zheng had not put himself in danger, none of these things might have happened. Some people may think that Lord Li Zheng loves his soldiers like his own son and is a good general at all costs to save the trapped soldiers. But many people think that General Li Zheng's move was just to win over people and accumulate connections for himself, but he ignored the interests of the country. Although it doesn't sound good, the truth is right. As a general, he should cherish his soldiers. Life is right, but we must also consider the overall situation, and never lose the big for the small..."
Qi Feihong frowned and said: "General Li Zheng has made great contributions to the Qilin Kingdom. He is dedicated to his work and is not afraid of life and death. How can you...how can you think so?"
Zhao Hai said: "The king is kind, so he will naturally feel that these words are not pleasant to listen to and are suspected of framed Lord Li Zheng. But the king should not forget that as the king, he must be fair, selfless and impartial. Li Zheng The general is the sworn brother of the king. The king is a little partial when looking at General Li Zheng. This is human nature. But the king is the king after all. In the face of great right and wrong, one cannot ignore the law of the country because of personal feelings. I have an audience with the king today. , I received the joint impeachment petitions from dozens of ministers and had the courage to come to persuade the king of the country as a last resort. If the king of the country blames me, I ask the king of the country to punish him severely."
Qi Feihong didn't expect things to turn out like this. He was a little overwhelmed for a moment. He looked at Zhao Hai blankly and felt speechless. In Qi Feihong's mind, it can be said that Li Zheng worked conscientiously and risked his life for the Qilin Kingdom. He never expected that he would be impeached for not caring about the overall situation and winning over people's hearts. Qi Feihong couldn't accept such an absolute contrast for a while, and his mind seemed to go blank.
Li Zheng really shouldn't have put himself in danger this time and ignored the entire army in order to save his soldiers. After all, he is the commander-in-chief of the entire army, so not caring about his own safety is irresponsible to the entire army. Once Li Zheng is killed by the Immortal Golden Immortal, the soldiers will be leaderless and scattered, and they will definitely be eaten by the Immortal Golden Immortal. The losses to Qilin Country will be even greater, and may even affect the future of Qilin Country.
To put it more seriously, Qilin Kingdom may not have any soldiers who can defeat the Immortal Golden Immortal. Even its own safety is a problem, let alone fighting for the safety of the world of immortality.
Seeing that Qi Feihong was silent, Zhao Hai thought that Qi Feihong was angry, so he saluted and said: "I know the relationship between the king and General Li Zheng, and I also know that the king will not punish General Li Zheng easily, but in order to calm down the public anger, and for the sake of Please think twice about the future of Qilin Kingdom."
Qi Feihong pondered for a long time and remained motionless. He struggled fiercely in his heart for a while, and then slowly said: "Does the Imperial Master want me to punish General Li Zheng? When marching and fighting, how can there be a true victorious general? General Li Zheng was just defeated. If I just decree a punishment once, who else will be willing to fight for me and the Qilin Kingdom in the future?"
Zhao Hai could see that Qi Feihong was unhappy, but he still said: "Even if we don't punish him, we should give him a warning to prevent similar things from happening again in the future. Your Majesty, if you feel inconvenient to come forward, you can order the Ministry of Personnel and General Li Zheng to After one or two contacts, he indirectly conveyed the intention of the king to General Li Zheng, which aroused General Li Zheng's vigilance. Although the matter was not urgent, it could not be delayed for too long. After all, General Li Zheng had to lead his troops on an expedition after recovering from his injuries. time does not wait……"
Qi Feihong thought about it, nodded and said: "I will talk to General Li Zheng in person tomorrow. Maybe this is better. Imperial Master, I have something to trouble you to do."
Seeing that Qi Feihong agreed to warn Li Zheng, Zhao Hai knew that this was the biggest concession Qi Feihong could make at present, so he stopped talking about the matter. He saluted and said, "Please make it clear to me, Lord, and I will do my best."
Qi Feihong said: "There are currently insufficient generals in the army. Mr. Huangfu Yun is both the commander of the third team of the second army and the commander of the fifth army. They are involved in each other, and there is no time and energy. Therefore, I want to ask the national advisor to concurrently serve as the second army. The commander of the third team of the second army will train the 50,000 soldiers of the third team of the second army as my personal bodyguards. From now on, they will patrol Qilin City and be responsible for the security of the city. I wonder what the national master's intention is?"
Zhao Hai said: "I have had this idea for a long time, but because I was worried that bringing it up would arouse the dissatisfaction of Commander Huangfu Yun, I have been holding back. Since the king personally raised this matter today, I am willing to accept the decree."
Qi Feihong nodded: "The national division is ready to accept all the soldiers of the third team of the Second Army immediately. I will order Mr. Li Tianli to recruit some more soldiers for the second army to supplement the third team. Mr. Shen Yue will also select suitable ones. selected as the leader of the third team.”
Zhao Hai said: "I have a suitable candidate for the new commander, but I don't know if the king is satisfied."
Qi Feihong said: "Who is the Imperial Master talking about? Does he know how to lead troops to fight?"
Zhao Hai said: "Does the king still remember Liao Yuhu, a disciple of the old village chief Lu Hao of Qilin Village? This person defected to Qilin Country a few days ago and is currently idle in the Imperial Prefecture. He is worried that there is no errand to do. The king of the country is also familiar with this person. He understands military affairs and is good at leading troops. If he can be persuaded to serve as the commander of the third team of the Second Army, it will be a good thing for the Second Army."
Qi Feihong thought of Liao Yuhu, whom he had interacted with, and knew that this person was capable of doing things, but because he was Lu Hao's disciple after all, Qi Feihong was worried that Liao Yuhu might be dissatisfied because Lu Hao died at the hands of the Qilin Kingdom army. The commander has military power and must be held by a reliable person: "Liao Yuhu is indeed available, but his master Lu Hao was killed by us. If he is dissatisfied, I'm afraid..."
Zhao Hai said: "Although Liao Yuhu and Lu Hao are called masters and disciples, in fact, they are just the objects used by Lu Hao, not the same people. Moreover, Lu Hao had completely broken with Liao Yuhu before his death, and the two are no longer masters and disciples. I think the country The Lord can rest assured to use him, this man has great ambitions, he may become a general in the army like General Li Zheng in the future, and he can ensure the peace of Qilin country for thousands of years."
Qi Feihong thought about it and nodded slowly: "Then let it be like this. I'll trouble the Imperial Master to personally convey my decree and appoint Liao Yuhu as the commander of the third team of the Second Army. He can recruit his subordinates together with Lord Li Tianxing, and the number will be controlled at There are about 50,000 people under the jurisdiction of the commander-in-chief of Huangfu City."
Zhao Hai said: "I obey the order, and I will go to deliver the order immediately."
Qi Feihong nodded slightly, watched Zhao Hai leave, looked back at Tian Xizi, and Tian Xizi said with a smile: "Take a rest, I don't know how many things are waiting for you to deal with next, but you have to pay attention to your health." yes."
Qi Feihong said: "There are indeed too many things going on recently. I always feel a little uneasy and can't rest peacefully. I don't know the condition of General Li Zheng's injury..."
Tian Xizi said: "Are you still worried about General Li Zheng? General Li Zheng will be fine. He has returned to the army to recuperate. He is protected by the army and Xuannv Yuqing. Even if the Immortal Golden Immortal comes in person, It will be difficult to hurt General Li Zheng again."
Qi Feihong felt that what Tian Xizi said was reasonable and was about to take a rest when the jade communication talisman on his body suddenly lit up.
