"General Lu is still smart. He anticipated today's situation early."
At some point, someone clicked his tongue and looked back at Lu Yulong, who was burying his head in his desk. His tone was awkward and weird.
The Jade Dragon Fleet is now in Baekje, leisurely chasing Japanese pirate troop transports.
It's just a troop transport, with almost no ability to fight back. Wouldn't it be easy to catch it if it encounters it?
Their Jade Dragon Fleet can now be said to be taking credit one by one, but there is no danger.
Unlike us, we have been arguing for days with no results...
And no matter what happens here, they are not responsible.
For example, it is easy to say that the recapture of Beihaiguan went smoothly. If the battle situation remains unclear or even suffers repeated setbacks, then the Imperial City cannot blame the Jade Dragon Fleet and the others.
It can be said that all the advantages are taken advantage of and all the disadvantages are eliminated.
Some of the generals nearby couldn't help but nod their heads. When they looked at Lu Yulong again, they felt a little envious and jealous looking at his carefree and contented appearance, which was oblivious to what was going on around him.
"Everyone, it is said that bystanders know the truth and the authorities are confused. Among the many generals here, only General Lu can stay out of the situation. And since he entered the conference room, he has been immersed in the sea chart and studying something. Perhaps he will have a better understanding of the current war situation. We have different ideas and views. Why don’t you let General Lu talk about his ideas?”
As soon as these words came out, the entire conference room fell into silence.
Some veterans, including Yu Xinou, all looked ugly.
Compared with them, Lu Yulong's qualifications are not high, and the combat power of the Yulong fleet in his hand is not too strong. In addition, he has a close relationship with the Xiao family, so he has always been ostracized by everyone. It can be said that he basically has no voice among generals at the same level. share.
Now that they haven't spoken yet, someone has asked Lu Yulong to speak by name, and they are inevitably a little confused.
"General Lu, General Lu?" someone poked.
"What's the matter..." Lu Yulong raised his head from the chart in confusion, "Is the meeting over?"
Ahem.
A group of people suddenly turned black.
Zhong Lifu, who kept yelling, was not far away. He quickly told him about the current situation before Lu Yulong came to his senses.
He turned his head and looked around at the different expressions of the generals around him, and his eyes became cold.
This is someone trying to roast themselves on the fire.
But Lu Yulong was not afraid at all.
cough!
"Generals, this is really making things difficult for me." He cleared his throat, "Lu is not talented. He has not been at the East China Sea Barrier for as long as many of his predecessors. In addition, he has been stationed in Baekje with the fleet before. He is not aware of the current situation along the coast of the empire. It’s not too familiar. How can I say anything?”
"General Lu is too polite." Zhong Lifu curled his lips in disgust, "Enlistment qualifications are qualifications for enlistment, and the battlefield is the battlefield. The two cannot be generalized at all. If qualifications are also discussed on the battlefield, what are the weapons and brothers? Go directly to Star City can just find some old immortals to come over and arrange for them to board the ship."
Cough cough cough.
Some people, including Lu Yulong, had gloomy faces, and another group of people were coughing wildly.
However, Zhong Lifu waved his hand nonchalantly.
"What are you coughing up? Do you dare to say that what I said is wrong? When it comes to war, the brave man wins when he meets on a narrow road. I feel that General Lu's Jade Dragon Fleet fought with great authority in Baekje. Compared with some people who only know how to point their fingers. I don’t know how many times more powerful my veteran will be.”
Lu Yulong couldn't help but smile bitterly and quickly shook his head.
"General Zhong, thank you. I have stayed in Jinlongtan for a long time. Compared with you, I am more familiar with Baekje's battle situation, so I can sometimes have a slight advantage."
"But the recapture of the North Sea Passage this time is a battle related to the safety of the entire East China Sea Barrier and even the eastern part of the empire. It requires the command of a general with sufficient strategic and tactical vision and the full cooperation of everyone in the East China Sea Barrier. To single out a certain person or a certain fleet, It makes no sense at all.”
Speaking of this, he pointed at the bridge of his nose.
"Lu is confident that he is a capable general, but he is also self-aware. He has fought some victorious battles before, but his strategic and tactical vision is far from what he needs to command such a large war, so he does not practice every skill in front of the generals."
Phew~
Lu Yulong's words made many people relax and look much better, but the conference room was even quieter.
Some young generals who were eager to speak quickly shut their mouths and sat down peacefully.
They only command their own fleet, so they are confident and fearless.
But when it comes to commanding the entire East China Sea Barrier, few people here dare to speak loudly. Even Zhong Lifu, who is as stunned as Zhong Lifu, knows how much he weighs, so he will sit there obediently and say nothing.
Yu Xinou looked around and saw that his head was as big as a bucket.
In the past, he was the one who sent messages to Lu Fuhai on behalf of the fleet generals.
It would be difficult for him to stand up and arrange troops to command the battle.
"Everyone," he said in a bitter tone, "what should we do? You can just talk."
It was as noisy as a wet market just now, but now it's all mute?
"General Yu," Lu Yulong had been standing and did not sit down, so he spoke at this moment, "General Yu is bold, but he has a few commanders in his heart. I don't know whether I should say it?"
"Say it, say it quickly!" Yu Xin'ou glanced at the door of the conference room and urged again and again.
In the past few days, there has been no discussion about Chou Yin Mao in the East China Sea Barrier. It is estimated that the supervisors and censors outside the gate will report it to Xingji City.
As the deputy general of the legion, he will not have much to gain by then.
"The first place is naturally General Lu, the general of our East China Sea Barrier Corps."
hehe.
Yu Xinou laughed awkwardly with a bunch of people.
Isn't this a waste of money?
If Lu Fuhai could come out, they wouldn't need to hold continuous meetings to discuss this nonsense.
"Second place," Lu Yulong raised his eyes and looked over, "Of course it's you, General Yu."
Yu Xin'ou blushed and said, "General Lu is joking. I have submitted my resignation to the Ministry of War a few days ago. After regaining Beihaiguan, I will retire and return home to enjoy the rest of my life."
It was quiet below, and everyone listened silently.
Yu Xin'ou is a good old man who always treats people kindly and kindly. No matter whether the opponent is a strong-armed general or an ordinary soldier, he always greets them with a smile and does not treat them differently.
It's just that since Lu Fuhai entered Star City, his lack of ability suddenly became apparent, but so far no one has deliberately felt sorry for him.
Although Yu Xin'ou is far from the age to retire and return home, if Lu Fuhai really can't get out, it can be said that leaving the East China Sea Barrier is his only choice.
But the premise is to win the battle to regain the North Customs.
If he didn't fight well, he would be the one to bear the wrath of Star City together with Lu Fuhai.
"General Lu," Yu Xin'ou cheered up and looked around, "In addition to Lu Fuhai and this general, who are the candidates in your mind? Let's discuss it together."
As for the outcome of the discussion, there are two opinions.
"Return to the general," Lu Yulong was silent for a while, then gently squeezed out a name, "General Xiao Zhengxiao of Uncle Zhongyong's Mansion."
Buzz~
The public meeting room suddenly became commotion.
Xiao Zheng!
Born in the Zhongyongbo Mansion or the Protectorate Mansion, he remained unknown for the first half of his life.
Because of historical reasons, he is a taboo in the huge East China Sea barrier.
Many generals heard rumors about him. Either Xiao Zheng was defeated by someone during the imperial capital competition, or someone in the Xiao family did something bad; Jiuzi, known as the prodigal son of the imperial capital...
Not good news anyway.
However, a few years ago, I don't know what happened to Emperor Changxing's head. He suddenly sent Xiao Zheng to go on an expedition. He was stationed in Baekje and never came back.
I haven't heard of Xiao Zheng's success in these years. I only know that he guarded Jinlong Beach tightly, making it difficult for the Japanese pirates to move forward, and they looked at the shore and sighed.
