The order of the city lord's palace to combine the troops was issued very suddenly, which was very contrary to procedures and common sense.
These orders were actually issued directly from the city lord's pro-army troops to the middle and low-level generals of each army, without going through the high-level generals at all.
The order requires these low- and mid-level generals to choose their direct subordinates to go to the new units. The number of people chosen is up to them. You can not take one person, or you can take all your direct reports.
Generally speaking, even if mid-level and low-level generals who receive an order do not intend to object to the order, they will first seek the consent of their direct leader before setting off for the new unit.
But the strange thing is that here, some of them asked for the leadership's advice, and some of them set off directly without asking for the leadership's advice.
The reason why Cheng Yugang couldn't control himself and directly questioned Doudou at the military meeting was because among his direct subordinates, more than ten middle-level generals and more than seventy low-level generals did not come to ask for his opinions when they left.
When he stepped forward to stop him, those people directly showed the transfer order from the City Lord's Mansion and said nothing else.
The meaning of those people is very clear: although we obey your leadership, we obey the top leadership of the City Lord's Mansion even more. If you want to stop us from leaving, you must first ask the City Lord's Mansion to take back the order.
Cheng Yugang was very helpless at the time. Logically speaking, he really had no reason to stop those people from leaving. If he insists on blocking it, it will be tantamount to openly opposing the city lord's palace. If he were to use violence against those people, it would be tantamount to openly rebelling against Yunling City.
He didn't want to let things get to this point as long as he watched the more than 1,700 people leave.
There are more than 3,700 people in his Third Army. After leaving more than 1,700 men, his Third Army only had about 2,000 men left.
Moreover, he also discovered that the more than 1,700 people who were transferred away by the City Lord's Mansion seemed to have a significantly stronger fighting spirit than those who stayed.
In other words, the combat power level of those who left was higher than that of those who stayed.
Is this intentional or a coincidence? Cheng Yugang couldn't help but have such questions.
If it was a coincidence, it would be too much of a coincidence.
But if it was intentional, why did the City Lord's Mansion know so clearly about the situation in his Third Army?
Cheng Yugang was very confused at the time.
But his doubts did not last long. Because more than 1,700 people had just left, people from the other seven armies were gradually dispatched to his third army.
When the dispatch was completely completed, Cheng Yugang counted and found that the total number of his Third Army had increased instead of decreasing, from the previous 3,700 to more than 4,200.
In other words, the city lord's palace took away more than 1,700 people from the third army, but added more than 2,200 people from other armies.
At this time, Cheng Yu had just completely dismissed whether the city lord's mansion had noticed something and wanted to deliberately weaken the third army.
But even though the suspicion was dispelled, Cheng Yugang was still upset. He once again complained that Zhao Xuan gave improper orders, and once again felt that the kid Doudou was messing around.
In Cheng Yugang's view, the reason why Zhang Xiaocai, Qin Feng, Lu Qiang, Pei Jianjun, Zhu Xiuying and others firmly supported Doudou and condoned Doudou's mischief was because they were too loyal to Zhao Xuan.
In this case, he must stand up resolutely and point out Doudou's mistakes.
However, he stood up and pointed out the inappropriateness of Doudou's actions, but was easily blocked by Doudou's words of "the lesser of two evils".
"Commander Doudou, if there is nothing else, I will leave first. The soldiers in the army are not familiar with each other now. I must go back as soon as possible to reorganize and try to improve their overall combat capabilities. After all, the current situation in Yunling City is too critical. , there is no room for delay." Cheng Yugang said to Doudou immediately.
He is in no mood to stay here and continue to face Doudou, a little brat who makes him feel extremely uncomfortable.
"There is nothing else to do. Commander Cheng will go down to rectify military affairs first." Doudou nodded in agreement.
Cheng Yugang left immediately.
"Commander Doudou, I also need to rectify military affairs as soon as possible. Please leave." Tao Guodong followed.
"Okay, you can go down first." Doudou nodded.
After Cheng Yugang and Tao Guodong went down, Wang Benan and Luo Chengjun looked at each other with a little hesitation.
They didn't know whether they should ask to leave.
"Wang Ben'an, Luo Chengjun, you two should go back and reorganize the military affairs first. The situation in Yunling City is urgent, you two must be serious and responsible, and don't let down the importance and cultivation of the two of you by City Lord Zhao Xuan." Doudou took the initiative to do it for them. A decision was made.
And Doudou also gave these two people a gentle nod in his words.
As for how these two people will understand it, that is their own business.
"Yes!" Wang Ben'an and Luo Chengjun immediately bowed.
"Oh, this is really a big wave."
After the first four people walked out of the meeting hall, Zhu Xiuying sighed unhappily.
"Hmph, this is called 'Blow away the yellow sand and see the gold'. It's not a big deal." Zhang Xiaocai snorted coldly.
Qin Feng and Pei Jianjun smiled and said nothing, but Lu Qiang looked left and right in confusion, wondering what riddle they were playing.
"Doudou, now the army has been mixed according to your wishes. What should we do next?" Zhang Xiaocai then asked Doudou.
Several other people quickly looked at Doudou.
The people present all knew Doudou's abilities. After Doudou showed his strong leadership ability, they were all convinced and followed Doudou's wishes wholeheartedly.
If it weren't for their support, Doudou would never be able to achieve anything no matter how hard he went.
Including the just-completed military mix, Doudou wouldn't have dared to think that without the full support of a few of them.
And the reason why they were able to fully support Doudou's seemingly random mixed orders was because Doudou gave them a very solid reason for their judgment.
The reason for Doudou's judgment is that among the 1,000 high, middle and low military generals who attended the expanded military meeting in the morning, 332 were quite afraid of war. At that time, there is a very high chance that these 332 people will turn against the enemy. There were 274 people who looked calm. If an external battle does occur, these 274 people should be able to follow orders and fight the enemy, but how long they can persist and to what extent they can fight must be questioned.
Only the 386 generals who showed angry expressions were the most loyal to Yunling City and Zhao Xuan. They should be able to last until the end in the fight.
These generals are the most valuable asset of Yunling City, and they cannot be allowed to stay in the armies that are not determined enough.
And Zhang Xiaocai, Qin Feng, Pei Jianjun, and Zhu Xiuying's army did not allow the existence of generals who were afraid of war. Because they are very likely to do bad things when fighting externally.
So after Doudou had urgent discussions with several staunch elements such as Zhang Xiaocai and Qin Feng, the sudden military mixed operation was launched and successfully completed.
