Seeing Zhao Yucheng's resentful eyes, Su Yonglin smiled.
It seems that he unintentionally completed a set of Versailles-style operations, which severely impacted Zhao Yucheng's young mind.
Well, I still need to control this behavior a little bit in the future.
"It's not important. I haven't lost a battle now. There's no guarantee that I won't lose a battle in the future. The key is to accumulate experience, learn lessons, and gain valuable growth from them. After this defeat, you learned that you can't directly fight with the Golden Thief Cavalry. You must keep up with these two experiences in military training, so you won’t make mistakes in the future, right?”
Zhao Yucheng sighed.
"That's true. This defeat left a deep impression on me. I will never forget it in my life. I will try my best to avoid the mistakes I made."
"That's right. A general is not afraid of failure. He is afraid that he will not be able to grow after failure. He will not know what mistakes he made until he dies. That is the most tragic thing. Such a person will never become a famous general."
Su Yonglin said warmly: "If you can learn from experience, know your shame and then be brave, reflect on your own mistakes and correct them, you will definitely become a famous general in the future."
Zhao Yucheng was a little surprised.
"Uncle Yuting, can I also be a famous general?"
"sure."
Su Yonglin smiled and said: "As long as you are willing, as long as you think, as long as you are willing to work hard and never give up, you can become a famous general. I am very optimistic about you."
Su Yonglin is the first general of the Liberation Army. His words are very weighty and trustworthy.
Zhao Yucheng, who was at the bottom of his valley, was inspired and rekindled his thoughts.
After breakfast, Zhao Kaishan sent someone to invite Su Yonglin to a meeting, saying that he wanted to discuss the overall trend of the Liberation Army in the future.
Su Yonglin felt that if he could not grasp the trend of the meeting at this meeting, Zhao Kaishan would sooner or later have to do what he had done before, and the situation would not look good by then.
With this idea in mind, Su Yonglin led a group of his subordinates to Zhao Kaishan's Chinese army tent and attended the meeting with the generals of Zhao Kaishan's direct troops.
Zhao Kaishan did not mention Sun Tzu Yi at all in this meeting. Apparently Zhao Kaishan had excluded Sun Tzu Yi from the decision-making system of the Liberation Army and no longer regarded him as one of his own.
If nothing unexpected happened, Su Yonglin should have been excluded by him.
But at the moment, his prestige is too high, and he is very kind to the main force of the Liberation Army. The middle and high-level officers are all grateful for his kindness, so no matter how unhappy Zhao Kaishan is, he cannot be excluded.
So Su Yonglin participated in the decision-making meeting on behalf of Shengjiejun.
The decision-making meeting was hosted by Zhao Kaishan and chaired by Zhao Zuoliang.
Zhao Zuoliang obviously had an understanding of the current situation and done enough homework before the meeting began, so before the formal discussions began, he first elaborated on the current situation.
He explained the current situation of the Liberation Army, the Jin Army, and the situation outside Shandong, and basically there was no problem.
"This is the current situation. There is no Golden Thief army in Shandong that can threaten the Liberation Army. The Golden Army outside Shandong cannot pose a threat to the Liberation Army alone. The current situation is unprecedented for us. The advantages are huge.”
After speaking, Zhao Zuoliang sat down and handed the position of spokesperson to Zhao Kaishan.
Zhao Kaishan cleared his throat and began to speak.
"Thanks to General Su's decisive decision-making and military exploits, our Liberation Army has gained a huge advantage on the East and West Shandong Roads. The main force of the Golden Thieves has been destroyed and cannot pose a greater threat to our army, so what we should do most now is The most important thing is to make progress on the East and West Roads of Shanxi and Damingfu Road, and use this as a foundation to continue to make progress!"
Everyone applauded, expressing their approval of Zhao Kaishan's decision.
Su Yonglin did not object.
But he didn't want Zhao Kaishan to take the initiative, and he would be very passive when the time came to mess around with things. So after Zhao Kaishan spoke, Su Yonglin took the initiative to express his wish to speak and explain his thoughts.
Zhao Kaishan had no objection.
So Su Yonglin began to express his own opinions.
"I think that now that the overall situation in Shandong has been decided, our army must take a longer-term view and consider longer-term issues, such as how to continue to act to overthrow Jin Ting faster and better and gain the final victory. victory."
While Su Yonglin spoke, Zhao Kaishan glanced at Zhao Zuoliang.
Zhao Zuoliang nodded imperceptibly, signaling for him to stay steady and not to say more.
So Zhao Kaishan remained calm and waited for Su Yonglin to continue to perform.
Last night, Zhao Kaishan had a very uneasy sleep, and he woke up from his dream in the middle of the night.
In the dream, he was still the leader of the Liberation Army, but he was a mere commander.
He confronted Su Yonglin, but everyone around him, including Li Xiao, Chen Qiaoshan, and his son Zhao Yucheng, stood opposite him and beside Su Yonglin, looking at him coldly and without emotion.
"In these troubled times, only the strongest people can lead us out of the way of survival, so General Su is the only leader."
Li Xiao said this.
"General Su has outstanding military exploits, and the gold thieves are frightened by the news. If we don't follow General Su, how can we win?"
Chen Qiaoshan said this.
"Father, although you are my father, you really don't know how to fight. The only one who can fight is Uncle Yuting. I want to follow Uncle Yuting and no longer follow my father. I also ask my father to abdicate and let Uncle Yuting do the work." Take the lead."
His son Zhao Yucheng said to him.
Zhao Kaishan was shocked and frightened. When he looked at Su Yonglin, he saw a mocking smile on his face.
"Brother, I don't want to be like this. Regardless of what people want, I really can't refuse, so I have to take up the position of leader. Please give me the opportunity, brother."
As soon as Su Yonglin finished speaking, a tsunami-like sound of "abdicating one's position and giving way to someone worthy" came from the dark sea of people over there. The sound was so loud that it frightened Zhao Kaishan awake.
After waking up, it took him a while to confirm that it was a dream and not something that really happened, but his pounding heart made him aware of the worries deep in his heart.
He thought over and over that it was not safe and could not just fall asleep again, so he had Zhao Zuoliang called over.
So he successfully woke Zhao Zuoliang from his sleep.
With all kinds of helplessness, Zhao Zuoliang rubbed his eyes and came to Zhao Kaishan's military tent. When he saw Zhao Kaishan walking around with an uneasy look on his face, he let out a long sigh.
"Kaishan, what happened?"
Zhao Kaishan saw Zhao Zuoliang coming and immediately stepped forward.
"Uncle, I had a terrible dream, please listen to me.
Then Zhao Kaishan talked to Zhao Zuoliang about his dream, and after that, he discussed with Zhao Zuoliang how to limit Su Yonglin's power, ensure that his own power continued to grow, and ensure his status as the leader of the Liberation Army.
Zhao Zuoliang was quite helpless. He felt that Zhao Kaishan was scaring himself. A dream could scare him to this extent.
"Actually, I don't think this is necessary at all. Kaishan, think about how many armies you have and how many armies our family controls. Su Yuting only has one Shengjie army who is his true confidant. The number is small and it will not threaten you at all. , why do you need to care so much?"
No matter what Zhao Kaishan thinks, he feels unsafe.
"No, his reputation is already very high. If we let it go, one day he will be dissatisfied with me and raise his arms, many people will follow him and leave me. By that time, who can guarantee that he will not be as good as me? , cannot have greater power?
In addition to the few armies controlled by our own people, the entire Liberation Army has many other armies, and the leaders are just grassroots, who can sway at the slightest disturbance. How can I trust them?
If they think I am strong, they can follow me and abandon Sun Ziyi. So if they think Su Yuting is stronger, of course they can abandon me and follow him. Wouldn't such a thing happen? What has happened, uncle, are you not worried? "
Zhao Kaishan's face was full of tension and his eyes were full of doubts.
Zhao Zuoliang finally understood that Zhao Kaishan would not rest assured if Su Yonglin was not restrained or even destroyed.
but……
"Even if you really restrain Su Yuting and he doesn't resist, when the army of gold thieves comes and the gold master goes south with hundreds of thousands of troops, what will you do?"
Zhao Zuoliang's words stopped Zhao Kaishan.
This battle fully exposed the weaknesses of the Liberation Army in the field. The Liberation Army was formed in a short period of time, lacked training, and did not have many elites. It was okay to deal with the enemy. If it were to deal with Wan Yanliang's army, it might still have some problems.
Among the generals of the Liberation Army, only Su Yonglin has the ability to defeat the Jin Army's infantry and cavalry head-on. Only he can do it. If he is eliminated, can anyone else take the lead?
It's really hard to say.
But Zhao Kaishan is still worried.
"With so many generals in the Liberation Army, there won't be only one Su Yuting, right? He will definitely not be the only one who stands out by then. I think Li Xiao and Chen Qiaoshan are pretty good."
Zhao Zuoliang spread his hands.
"Currently, it seems that there is only one Su Yuting. Li Xiao and Chen Qiaoshan do not have such a record. Kaishan, you have to think carefully. You want to restrict Su Yuting, but besides Su Yuting, who else can confront the Golden Thief Cavalry?"
Zhao Kaishan was silent for a long time.
Then he raised his head and looked at Zhao Zuoliang.
"If I continue to let Su Yuting expand his own power, will the Liberation Army still be named Zhao? None of them are named Zhao anymore. What meaning does the existence of the Liberation Army mean to me? Uncle, what do you think?"
