Hejian Mansion!
Li Jinglong sat high on the main seat.
On the left and right are Qu Neng, Ping An, Yu Tongyuan and other tiger generals.
The previous commander-in-chief of the armed forces, Geng Bingwen, could only sit at the bottom of the table, which seemed quite humiliating.
However, Geng Bingwen didn't care about this, and even felt a little happy.
After the previous battle, Geng Bingwen finally understood that the imperial army was just a bunch of rabble.
There are many factions and the military leaders are arrogant, so it is impossible to completely annihilate the Yan army.
Just look at these generals in front of you and you will know how this battle will end.
"Master of the Art of War" Li Jinglong is a complete idiot who has never even fought in a battle!
Qu Neng and his son, who lived in Sichuan and Sichuan, were brave and good at fighting and could be called brave generals, but their foundation was in Sichuan and Sichuan and they had no prestige in the army.
There is also the famous founding general Ping An, the fake son of Emperor Taizu Gao. With this status alone, the generals in the army dare not despise him, let alone mobilize him.
And Yu Tongyuan, the veteran founding general of the People's Republic of China, had obviously retired and retired to the official position for several years, but he was still dug out by the new emperor. I don't know if he can still carry the knife!
In addition, local military leaders such as Chen Hui and Wu Jie are mostly nobles. They are young and passionate, but they are also rebellious and eager to establish meritorious deeds!
There is such a large imperial army with many factions, and all the generals have their own thoughts. How can you destroy the Yan army's cavalry, which is united?
On the surface, it seems that the imperial army has half a million soldiers, but in fact, less than half of the elite soldiers are truly useful!
Coupled with the idiot commander Li Jinglong, this army is completely finished!
"Marquis Changxing, do you have any information on the Yan army?"
Li Jinglong pondered for a moment, then directly called out names and pointed the finger at Geng Bingwen.
After all, Geng Bingwen was the previous commander-in-chief of the armed forces. As the saying goes, "One mountain cannot tolerate two tigers." Li Jinglong, the new commander-in-chief of the new army, naturally wanted the new officer to take up his post with three fires. It is best that the first fire should be directed at Geng Bingwen.
"According to the investigation of the frontline scouts, the Yan army seems to know that the imperial army is coming to help, so it has completely reduced the front line. Only Baoding and Yongping have garrisons, and the remaining cities have all been abandoned and withdrawn!"
Geng Bingwen didn't do anything during this period, and he easily revealed Yan Jun's response measures.
Li Jinglong was quite happy after hearing this and couldn't help but smile on his face.
The Yan army retreated in an all-round way. Wasn't this because they were afraid of the imperial army?
There is a saying in the art of war: be timid before fighting. This is a taboo for military strategists!
He had previously boasted about how awesome Zhu Di was, but he was frightened as soon as the imperial army arrived?
From the looks of it, King Yan Zhu Di is not that good either!
"Is there any other information?"
"None yet!"
"Ha!" Li Jinglong sneered: "Marquis Changxing really has a good attitude!"
"Your Majesty worshiped Marquis Changxing as a general and placed high hopes on Marquis Changxing. However, Marquis Changxing humiliated the country by losing his troops in one battle and lost the face of the court!"
"The mighty army of 130,000 was defeated by the Yan army of 40,000 to 50,000. Should the Marquis of Changxing give a reasonable explanation?"
Sure enough, it came!
Attack Geng Bingwen directly!
Seeing this, Guo Ying couldn't help but sigh and said: "General, this matter..."
"Wu Dinghou, I am not asking you, please don't disturb me!"
Li Jinglong glanced at Guo Ying coldly and stopped him from speaking very rudely.
In terms of status, Li Jinglong was the Duke of Cao, the top noble of the Ming Dynasty. Guo Ying and Geng Bingwen were just princes, naturally far behind him.
In terms of his current position, Li Jinglong is the Grand Marshal of the Army, and has been given the Emperor's ax by His Majesty the Emperor. He enjoys the right to "act cheaply". Guo Ying and Geng Bingwen are far inferior to him!
If that's the case, what is Li Jinglong still afraid of?
After all, it is an indisputable fact that these two people lost their master and humiliated the country!
Li Jinglong wants to establish prestige in the army, and using these two to establish prestige is undoubtedly the best choice!
What qualifications do these two defeated generals have to stay here?
Guo Ying's face was full of anger, and he suppressed the anger in his heart.
Geng Bingwen remained calm and said calmly: "The Yan army is extremely powerful, especially the Yan army's cavalry. I underestimated this before, which led to the defeat!"
"Why should Marquis Changxing increase the ambition of others and destroy his own prestige?"
Qu Neng said disdainfully, his tone full of contempt.
The dignified general who founded the country was actually defeated by the king of Yan, Zhu Di, with less. It was embarrassing to tell anyone.
Chen Hui, Wu Jie and other young generals also spoke up and sneered at Geng Bingwen's statement.
Is the Yan army’s cavalry extremely powerful?
hehe.
How outstanding can it be?
Can it still be compared to the Mongolian cavalry?
When the Mongols were driven out of the Central Plains, what did the Yan army's cavalry count?
Seeing this situation, Geng Bingwen sighed, and then he was too lazy to explain.
However, the veteran Ping An listened and asked Geng Bingwen a question.
"General Geng, in your opinion, which one is better than the Yan cavalry or the Liaodong cavalry?"
Zhu Yunwen forced Yang Wen to hand over the Liaodong cavalry, and Ping An was temporarily commanded by the famous founding general Ping An, so Ping An couldn't help but be curious. Could the Yan army's cavalry be comparable to the Liaodong cavalry?
Geng Bingwen shook his head when he heard this and gave an unpleasant answer.
"If the Liaodong cavalry and the Yan army's cavalry charge head-on, the Liaodong cavalry will definitely be defeated!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
"Marquis Changxing, are you afraid of being beaten by the Yan army?"
"Haha...that's how it should be!"
All the generals mocked him one after another without any mercy.
Li Jinglong became even more furious and slammed the desk.
"Geng Bingwen, what do you mean?"
"By boasting about the enemy's troops again and again, is it possible that you want to shake the morale of our army?"
This sudden charge was a serious crime of beheading!
Geng Bingwen looked at Li Jinglong coldly, his heart full of grief, anger and helplessness.
As soon as the army arrived, they tried to seize power!
The battle hasn't even started yet, yet you despise the enemy and don't listen to warnings!
Such a narrow-minded villain is worthy of being a general?
Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yunwen, you are so hopelessly stupid!
"Li Jinglong, you don't need to test me again and again!"
"The reason why I am here is to inform you of the Yan army's intelligence."
"If things happen here, I will return to Jinling, disarm and return to the fields!"
"Having said this, you'd better not underestimate the enemy, otherwise it will be too late!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Geng Bingwen stood up and left without paying any attention to Li Jinglong.
It is true that Li Jinglong holds the emperor's ax and enjoys the right to "act expediently", but he does not dare to actually attack Geng Bingwen.
Not to mention him, even the emperor Zhu Yunwen didn't dare. The most he could do was reprimand him.
After all, Geng Bingwen was a veteran general who followed Emperor Taizu Gao in the southern and northern wars. With his prestige in the army, how could he be killed in battle?
Li Jinglong was angry, but he was also quite satisfied with Geng Bingwen's knowledge.
If his former commander-in-chief doesn't leave, how can he completely control the three armies?
"Okay, the troublemaker is gone!"
"Pass this commander's military order to send out scouts to investigate the enemy's situation!"
"Take the vanguard general Qu Neng and lead an army of 50,000 vanguards to advance northward!"
"I am going to attack Huanglong directly, attack the Yan army's base at Beiping City, and decide the outcome in one battle!"
