"General Yan is still knowledgeable and far-sighted! Lord Zhou Huang often talks about your deeds and praises your past achievements!
I think that during this expedition, you will definitely put down the rebellion and return in triumph!
Before coming, His Excellency Zhou Huang told me that this expedition is of great importance. All affairs in the army, no matter how big or small, will be handled by General Yan. If anyone pushes back or obstructs, he will be punished as a traitor! "
Liu Saiyu's words became deeper and deeper as he spoke, and his sharp eyes swept across the faces of the generals one by one like a blade.
Listening to Liu Saiyu's duck voice, all the generals felt a little uncomfortable, as if they had eaten a flying fly.
However, Yan Mo showed an attitude of listening carefully and nodded with deep understanding.
"Mr. Liu's words make sense. This is a great enemy and everyone in the army should be united!"
Liu Saiyu continued, "I don't know much about marching and fighting, so naturally I won't interfere too much. I will just record your words completely and give them to Lord Zhou to read when I go back. Lord Zhou Naturally, you will be rewarded based on your merits."
After saying that, Liu Saiyu gave Yan Mo a wink and said, "General Yan, you can continue. This meeting won't end now, right?"
Yan Mo nodded, turned to the generals and said seriously, "After fighting for so many days, you must have some idea of Xue Ren's strength!"
The faces of the generals suddenly darkened.
The veteran general from before sighed and said. "Xue Ren and I have had some interactions with him in the past. The two of us have participated in the defense and management of Chang'an City together before. He is extremely proficient in formations, and is especially good at using various trapping formations and killing formations in conjunction with each other to consume the opponent. , plus he himself is very good at defending the city... This boy will be a big obstacle to our attack on Yuzhou!"
"Yes, according to the news that the frontline soldiers have returned these days, the formations arranged range from the first to the fifth level. The combined lethality is amazing. An ordinary first- or second-level warrior will die once he steps into it." A person with a similar appearance The heroic young general stood up and said, "I think instead of slowly spending time with them like this, it's better to crush them in one go!"
The generals present all looked at the young man, and even Liu Saiyu couldn't help but take a second look at him.
"Oh? Does Young General Wu Song have any plans to mention?" Yan Mo asked with interest.
Although there were many young generals present, they were all in their twenties or thirties, but the general named Wu Song was only eighteen years old, even younger than Yan Fang.
In the military camp, military merit and rank are the most important, followed by seniority.
The positions of the generals present are almost the same, and as for military merit, after the human-monster war ended, the young generals could hardly find an opportunity to earn military merit.
Therefore, in such meetings where many veteran generals participate, it is generally rare for young generals to show their faces, unless they are the kind of generals with outstanding talents who are deeply loved by the veteran generals.
Sure enough, an old general immediately said with a serious face, "Where did you come from, yellow-haired boy? Is there a place for you to talk here?"
"It would be too reckless to charge directly. Xue Ren has deployed so many formations here. If we charge directly, we can certainly break through the Yuzhou border defense line in a short time, but this will definitely cost a lot of troops. !”
"I think so too. Although we have many soldiers and generals, our battlefield is not limited to this small area.
Yuzhou is a small area, but it is six states. If too many troops are consumed here, I am afraid it will be detrimental to the future war situation. "
"Well, I think we should just slowly fight him. Anyway, we are not in a hurry to break through the defense line. This Xu Tu Zhi can not only reduce our losses, but also make it easier for us to consolidate our fortifications and prepare for a large-scale attack in the later stage! "
"Yes, yes, haste makes waste. This battle must be a protracted and fierce battle. We put the battlefield in the six states. The food and grass supply line in our rear must be well constructed, otherwise our million-strong army will easily be defeated." Become a paper tiger and collapse before you can kill the opponent."
…………
Listening to the criticism in the words of the veteran generals, Wu Song remained unmoved at all, and instead had a trace of disdain and disdain on his face.
At this time, a general who was over fifty years old glared at Wu Song and said, "Don't think that you are great just because you have studied for two years with those savage old men. This battlefield is not a place where you can talk about war on paper, nor is it a place where some This is a place where the sons and daughters of the powerful come to take credit, and even if they come to take credit, they have to correct their status and don’t try to do the same thing!”
At this time, several veteran generals on the side also sneered, looking at Wu Song with sarcasm in their eyes.
Liu Saiyu saw all this in his eyes and felt a little emotional in his heart.
This cannot be blamed on the petty behavior of the veteran generals, because there have been several scumbag deeds in this army before.
This million-strong army is actually composed of dozens of armies. The main part is the army retained from the last human-monster war, and is led by many generals.
As for the other armies, most of them were local armies drawn from Jizhou and Liangzhou, as well as troops stationed around Chang'an City.
Because of the complex composition, there are more or less gaps between the armies.
In front of this million-strong army, the rebellion of the six states looked so ridiculous.
Therefore, in this war that seemed certain to win, many powerful people took the initiative to send their children up, and sponsored a lot of supplies and expert guards.
This is one of the reasons why there are so many young generals here.
Perhaps some of the rich and powerful's children do have some ability to direct wars, but most of them are half-assed.
It's okay for these powerful people to be just fooling around. Who asked the parents behind them to give money and support this war?
A few days ago, some arrogant and domineering young generals disobeyed orders and randomly directed their soldiers on the battlefield, resulting in heavy casualties.
Originally, according to law, these generals involved in the incident should be executed in public, but in the end, the news from Chang'an City was that they would all be sent back!
This is the method of the powerful!
This result naturally made everyone dissatisfied. Thousands of living lives were killed by the commander's stupid orders. However, the punishment the commander received was painless.
If Yan Mo hadn't been there to control the situation, I'm afraid the veteran generals would have gone to chop off these powerful disciples with their swords.
The young general named Wu Song also had an extraordinary background. It was said that his father was a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the DPRK and had extremely wide connections.
Wu Song studied under a great Confucian since he was a child and was well-read.
And his father also saw his love for military warfare. He not only invited powerful warriors to teach him martial arts, but also often took him to the army for reference.
bang bang
Yan Mo patted the table with a serious expression.
He motioned for everyone to be quiet.
"I want to hear your reasons?" Yan Mo asked.
Wu Song paused, then met Yan Mo's gaze and said, "As the ancients said, a surge of energy will weaken again, and then it will be exhausted. If we continue to slowly waste it here, it will be a huge blow to our morale. Under this situation, the enemy forces will become more and more rampant, and this will also give the six state rebels more time to develop.
Therefore, we should work hard and solve the problem quickly even if it takes a lot of effort, and we are not afraid of this little consumption.
What's more, this line of defense on the border of Yuzhou is not the main obstacle to our occupation of Yuzhou. I don't think Xue Ren will fight with us here. He should put the battlefield at Zhenshi Pass. "
After hearing this, all the veterans couldn't help but nodded, and the hostility towards Wu Song in their eyes also faded a bit.
In fact, most of what they just said was due to their hostility towards Wu Song, and the current situation was actually justified whether they chose to attack all at once or slowly.
"It seems like this guy is quite capable. He actually has such a vision."
"This young man and those drunkards can't be summed up in the same way!"
"Actually, it's possible to conquer the Yuzhou border in one go. It's also OK to lose some troops to improve morale."
Yan Mo ignored the whispers of the generals and said to Wu Song, "What you said does make some sense. So what do you think we should do after we capture the Yuzhou border?"
Several veteran generals were shocked when they heard this.
It sounds like Yan Mo has decided to take Wu Song's advice?
Wu Song raised his brows and immediately said, "Split your troops into three groups and go straight to Zhenshi Pass!"
"Good!" Yan Mo stood up immediately and laughed, "Instruct the three armies to launch a general attack tonight and seize the border defense line in one fell swoop!"
The generals present all clasped their fists and said yes.
Yan Mo looked at Wu Song again, his eyes full of admiration, and said to him, "Tonight, the command of the Yan Guard Regiment will be in your hands. The Yan Guard Regiment will be responsible for rushing to the front."
Wu Song trembled all over and looked at Yan Mo in disbelief. After a long time, he said, "General...can I know...why this is?"
You must know that this time they are going to break through all the defense lines deployed by Xue Ren in one fell swoop and capture the entire Yuzhou border. The damage may be nothing to a million-strong army.
However, if the Yan Guard Regiment is allowed to rush to the front and serve as cannon fodder, perhaps after this battle, the Yan Guard Regiment's establishment will be completely gone, and few will survive.
The generals present also raised their heads and looked at Yan Mo, wanting to get an answer from him.
Which general wouldn't feel sorry for the soldiers under his command? These are his brothers who have followed him through life and death. They earned his glory by putting their heads on their waistbands. They don't believe that Yan Mo doesn't understand. This principle.
"Haha, of course I have my reasons, but now is not the time for you to know!"
After saying that, Yan Mo waved his hand and motioned for them to leave.
All the generals had no choice but to retreat. Before Liu Saiyu walked out of the camp, he turned around and smiled at Yan Mo, with a somewhat mocking smile.
Yan Fang stood behind his father and looked at his back.
At this moment, Yan Fang suddenly felt that this figure was a little older, and there was actually white hair on the temples.
In fact, he also had some guesses about what his father did.
