And the prince in front of him, even though he had arrived at the Xiaoqi Camp, he put on a posture of letting go of the boss. But now that the decree has been issued, who knows whether this prince with a tiger-like smile will come and take the medicine according to the prescription? If the King of England did the same and followed this kind of raw melon and egg into the battlefield, wouldn't it cost everyone's life?
Although it was clearly stated in the imperial edict, because the commander-in-chief envoy served as deputy envoy. But the word "vice" in front of "deputy envoy" determines who is the person with real power. If you are getting pregnant, you may be asked to take charge of food and grass matters. But if you meet someone like the King of Shu, maybe there is no big difference between having this deputy envoy and not having him.
Now the King of England actually had a hand in this matter. How could the generals not feel unexpected joy by entrusting the commander of the capital with the responsibility of military affairs? In contrast, the ten-kill order promulgated by Huang Qiong was not completely unacceptable.
The commander who took over the general's order was in the capital, because he had already made some plans with Huang Qiong before. There was nothing pretentious about it, he took over the command happily. Although he is a civil servant, he is a veteran who has fought many battles. After some allocation, everything was done without leakage. General officers at all levels can be regarded as making the best use of their talents.
There is just a task, but no one can be spared at the moment. That is to go to Hulao Pass in advance to set up a battle, take charge of the supply of grain and grass, and connect with the defenders of Hulao Pass, so as to prepare for the army that will arrive later. If the rebels launch in advance, they need to cooperate with the Hulao Pass defenders to drag the rebels outside Hulao Pass until the army arrives.
Although this task may not require fighting, coordination skills must be strong. Moreover, the commander in charge of the capital had another concern, that is, although the Hulao Pass garrison was directly under the jurisdiction of the Dianqian Division, due to its geographical location. He has always been very close to the Henan local guard system.
If the commander of Hulao Pass is bribed by the rebels, it will mean that the door of Jingzhao will be opened. The people sent by the Xiaoqi Battalion must have the determination to take the lead at critical moments, and even the courage to dare to kill generals and win the level. Hulao Pass has a fourth-grade military commander, and the three thousand guards in the pass can also be called elite. Those who go must be able to suppress these people.
Originally, it stood to reason that at least one deputy envoy of the Xiaoqi Battalion would be deployed for this task, but according to the plan of the commander in chief, one of the two deputy envoys of the Xiaoqi Battalion would have to stay behind. It is impossible for all the Xiaoqi battalion to participate in this battle, that is, there is no need, and there is no need. If the Xiaoqi battalion had to attack tens of thousands of people, then his Xiaoqi battalion would really make people laugh.
The 20,000 troops left behind need more than just one person to command them. Moreover, this person, because of the army left behind, will also serve as a reserve for the army to go out once the war is unfavorable. Therefore, the person left behind must also be a general. The other deputy envoy had already accepted the task of leading his army down the Yellow River to seize Zhengzhou, the rebel's home base.
In other words, both deputy envoys cannot be transferred. But the candidate for going to Hulao Pass this time is not the ordinary key. His eyes swept back and forth over the generals, but he could not make up his mind for a moment. Just when the commander of the capital was preparing to go to Hulao Pass in person if he couldn't, Huang Qiong, who had already given up his seat to him, stood up while he was sitting below.
After giving him a military salute, he said: "Master Yu, go to Hulao Pass and see if I am suitable for you. Now all the generals have been assigned, and they will all perform their duties immediately. I, the king, am the one who can kill you." Envoy, I am still idle now. In this way, I can just make a trip to Hulao Pass. As for the others, Master Yu will provide me with a deputy who can fight. "
Huang Qiong took the initiative to ask for help. Even though this grown-up had been on the battlefield for a long time, he couldn't help but be shocked. After just thinking about it for a moment, I found that the King of England was indeed the most suitable candidate. He is the current prince and the envoy to Zhengzhou appointed by the emperor. There is absolutely no problem in suppressing a fourth-level governor.
Judging from the character of this prince that I have come into contact with from yesterday to today, despite his young age, he definitely does not lack the energy to be ruthless and ruthless when necessary. It can be said that the British king in front of him is indeed the most suitable candidate. But his status as a prince made the commander-in-chief of the capital somewhat prepared.
Jiang Xin and Jiang Dutong at Hulao Pass are relatively close to each other, so you know where they are. Although that person is not lewd, he is greedy for money. Not only is he cruel and ruthless, he is also double-dealing and puts profit first in everything. As long as he has enough money, there is nothing he dares not do.
If Jiang Dutong was really bribed by King Jing, wouldn't the King of England become a sheep in a tiger's mouth when he leaves? If he loses even a little bit of skin, can the emperor spare him? It was precisely because of this hesitation that although he also believed that the British king was the most suitable candidate, he was also the only candidate he did not dare to send.
Seeing the commander in the capital, there was a trace of hesitation on his face. Huang Qiong, who knew what he was worried about, smiled and said: "Master Yu, I have said that from this moment on, I will not be someone in power." Prince, I'm just a soldier under your command. If anything happens, just send him on my way without any hesitation."
"Even if something happens, I promise that no one will blame you. Moreover, my profession is probably the safest among the generals here. I believe that Jiang Dutong, even if If you really rebel against your original intention, I don’t dare to do anything to a prince in the court. At most, it will be just house arrest. So, don’t have any taboos with your lord."
Seeing that Huang Qiong was resolute and that he was indeed the most suitable candidate, the commander in the capital hesitated several times and finally chose to follow the good example. After the generals accepted the mission and went down to prepare, the commander in the capital looked at Huang Qiong, who had a dull expression, and hesitated for a moment, but still did not say what he wanted to say in the end.
Looking at him who was hesitant, Huang Qiong smiled and said: "My lord, what you did this time is not like a military attaché, but is somewhat similar to those sour civil servants. A true man should cut it off, what can't he say?" What's more, I regard you as one of your own, so why would you hesitate? Could it be that in your heart, I am the kind of person who doesn't listen to advice?"
Hearing Huang Qiong's words, the commander in the capital gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, the general knows that I can't stop you. But the general still has to say, in fact, there is really no need for you to take risks. Even if If the prince doesn't go, the general will not be able to do anything. The general advises the prince to think about it."
"Furthermore, the garrison at Hulao Pass is in charge of Jiang Xin. Although he has never been a subordinate of the general, the general is confident that he has a certain understanding of him. This man is indeed a good fighter, especially good at outflanking with cavalry. But This person has one of the biggest weaknesses, and it is also the weakness that is most easily exploited."
"Although this person is not lewd, it can even be said that he stays away from drinking and sex. However, this person is extremely greedy for money, and he is bold and cruel, because he is greedy for money. In the past, when he was in the Yunzhou frontier army, he was more than Once, he attacked a smuggler who refused to pay him protection fees. He committed more than one murder and robbery."
"It's just that this person's hands and feet are very clean. The court and his superiors have never been able to find evidence of him. Moreover, this person can fight and has military exploits. He is also very capable in leading troops. There are also a number of people in the army. He was a die-hard loyalist. He was forcibly detained because he was afraid that the army's mentality would change. Therefore, he was eventually transferred from the border army and transferred to the guard system."
"However, I don't know that some time ago, this guy finally got through the path of that great god, and was actually transferred to Hulaoguan, a key place, to control Leledu. Therefore, the prince is a little worried after leaving. This person, If the prince is really bribed by the rebel king, the prince’s identity may not be taboo. If the prince is taken hostage, the general will most likely use taboos."
Hearing the sincere persuasion of the commander in the capital, Huang Qiong shook his head and said: "Your Majesty Yu's words can be said to be sincere and sincere for my consideration, and I understand it. But Sir, you can't Don’t worry too much. Not all of my king’s men are incompetent. Although they can’t fight in battle, they still have the ability to protect me and break through at critical moments.”
Speaking of this, Huang Qiong looked at the commander in the capital for a long time before saying: "Your Majesty, once I leave, the Xiaoqi Camp will be handed over to you. I hope that your Majesty, you can restrain the soldiers not to disturb the people and not to disturb the people." Let ordinary people suffer. Mr. Yu has made great achievements in battle, and he also knows that an army that relies on indulging military discipline to maintain morale is not a long-term solution."
"Only with iron-like military discipline can we build a truly iron army. I hope that the Xiaoqi battalion will not only have strong combat effectiveness, but also have the iron discipline that they will not tear down their houses if they freeze to death, and they will not capture prisoners of war if they starve to death. This time, I do not want to suppress the rebellion. I heard the saying that the war is like a shave. Bravery is used to deal with the enemy, not to deal with your own people."
"I hope that your Excellency, Mr. Yu, can warn the whole army not to forget who sweated eight petals a year, worked hard for a year and only had one ration left, and worked hard to pay the rations and taxes to feed them. Don't forget, they Before he joined the army, he was also a child of the Baixin family."
"To be honest, I really don't want to use that ten-kill order, let alone someone to try it. I also know that the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers. I also know that the current income of the imperial court is difficult, and it is also difficult for the emperor to do so. Many people are worried that they will not get the rewards they deserve after the war. I promise you now that after the war, I will use 20% of the captured property to reward the entire army. I will never let the brothers' hard work go in vain."
"But if there is a large-scale incident that disturbs the people, I will be the first to spare you. Mr. Yu, by leaving the Xiaoqi camp, I will return the property to its original owner. I hope that you can use the rights I have given you. Make good use of it. I also hope that you and I can work together to handle the Zhengzhou incident to the satisfaction of the emperor and the people of the world."
Huang Qiong seemed a little worried, and the commander in the capital was also deeply moved by his repeated warnings. It was the first time for him to see a prince of the current dynasty being so considerate for a group of ordinary people in a dynasty where the clan had exploited the people and greed was rife.
He also came from an ordinary family. If he hadn't spent ten years of hard work to become a Jinshi, I'm afraid he would have been nothing more than a private school teacher now. He had some sympathy for the common people because of his background, and said quickly: "Your Majesty cares about the people so much, but please rest assured, the general will never stand in your way."
"The prince's request must be made known to every soldier in the Xiaoqi battalion. The general will make good use of the rights given by the prince. He will not demolish the house if he freezes to death, and he will not take prisoners to death of starvation. This is the iron army. . The prince is going to Hulao Pass. If it is impossible to do so, I hope that the prince can put safety first. Even for the sake of the people, we must protect ourselves."
