Chapter 213 Quickly Return to Gyeongju
After receiving the letter sent by Lu Yijian, Xia Shouyun's face turned pale and he cursed the thief in his heart. If the Five Longyou Army really wiped out Yuan Hao and the 100,000 elite troops in the Battle of Tiandu Mountain, the overall situation would be decided, and it would be nonsense that he would fight against Baibao City. After such a big battle, the Five Longyou Army would overwhelm the three yamen imperial guards with their military achievements.
While scolding Yuan Hao as a bastard, Xia Shouyun thought in his heart.
After thinking for a while, he ordered his personal soldiers to call Ge Huaimin to his commander's tent. Ge Huaimin was born into a general, and his father Ge Ba was in a high position and had many connections. In addition, Ge Huaimin was sleek and well-versed in current affairs. What is important is that he could also understand the people's sentiments and achieve many achievements in military and civil affairs. If there was no war, Ge Huaimin would be a qualified local military and political chief, and he would be in charge of military and political affairs all the way. There was no problem with civil affairs. It is precisely because of this that both himself and others regarded him as a famous general for a while. Ge Huaimin was not a fool. If he had more experience in his career and qualified military education, he might be really a qualified general. Unfortunately, he did not have these in his life. His military talents depend on the quality of the army he led. Under Xu Ping, the fifth army of Longyou, such a person would definitely win a battle, and the imperial guards might not be the sequence.
After entering Xia Shouyun's tent, Ge Huaimin crossed his hands and sang: "The Grand Marshal calls on the last future, I don't know what orders do you have?"
Xia Shouyun handed the letter in his hand to Ge Huaimin and said, "The battle in Tiandu Mountain is probably going to be decided."
After reading the letter, Ge Huaimin said, "But I didn't expect that Xu Duhu had such ability. In just a short time, he forced the clown Yuan Hao to no avail. After this battle, the overall situation was decided, and the thieves had no more energy to go against this dynasty."
Xia Shouyun nodded, asked Ge Huaimin to sit down, and said to him: "For the court, the battle in Tiandu Mountain is a great victory that has not been seen in decades. It is a pity that our army came east and was eager to withdraw, so we have no chance of getting it. Such a big victory will probably affect the promotion of generals in the army for decades to come, and we cannot ignore it."
After thinking about it, Ge Huaimin understood what Xia Shouyun meant. If Xu Ping of Longyou really got such a great victory that no one expected, his five armies would be promoted and used. This is not a single person, but a 100,000 army, from senior generals to middle and lower-level officers. Such a group suddenly rises and will definitely occupy a number of positions in the army. And whether intentionally or not, they will invoke robes in the future to form a suppression of other forces.
Generals who were born in foreign relatives don’t have to worry about such a force as long as they did not transform into generals. Originally, their future had nothing to do with war, only the emperor’s personality. However, the pressure on the generals and the generals of the three yamen who were born in the army were faced with great pressure. The opportunity for promotion, which was originally theirs, was likely to be taken away by the Five Army of Longyou.
With the age of Xu Ping and his generals, Xia Shouyun's decades of saying this is not an exaggeration. If the military merits of the Tiandu War were only won by the Five Longyou Army, they would likely replace the old generals of the Three Yaya within a few years, thus forming a huge force.
Seeing Xia Shouyun's face heavy expression, Ge Huaimin said, "The Taiwei will be calculating in his heart when he calls the last future. But he has commanded that the last general will die! Most of the tens of thousands of troops here are the last general's robes, and their future is the future of the last general!"
After breathing a sigh, Xia Shouyun said warmly: "If you think so, I feel no comfort! In the battle of Tiandu Mountain, we must fight. Even if we can't catch the war, it's good to be there. I'm here to support the Dragon Guard cavalry, and you will take you back to Qingzhou overnight. The commander of the Lu Gong must have arrived at the Lu Office. How can Wang Jinglu not follow? If you don't have Qingzhou, he will send the head of the capital Li Zhihe to lead the troops. This matter has nothing to do with us. When you go to Qingzhou, of course you are the only one to go."
Ge Huaimin crossed his hands and said, "The Grand Marshal is very conspiring, and the last general is not as good as possible! But if there is an order, the last general will return immediately!"
Xia Shouyun nodded: "Okay, I will issue a military order in a while. This time, the three armies attacked Tiandu Mountain together. Needless to say, Longyou Road, it is the horse army that is Du Yu Marquis Ren Fu led his army to the place. Ren Fuqi was a young soldier and was eager to compete for merit. He would never miss such a good opportunity. In the present opinion, we can't compete with Longyou for merit. Xu Dugu is the throne of the throne, and I am also a favored minister of the official family. I can't compare with him. When you go to Tiandu Mountain, you must not make any mistakes against the Longyou army. Remember!"
Ge Huaimin nodded, he still had this little vision. Xia Shouyun was the last general, and compared with Xu Ping, an important official who was at the age of 30, who had a conflict with an egg-hitly attacking the stone. When Xu Ping first arrived in Qinzhou, his status was not enough to make Xia Shouyun afraid. Now it is different. No one in the northwest dares to work against Xu Pingming. Those civil officials, such as Han Qi and Wang Yan, also have the status of attendant ministers, can be discussed and magnified with Xu Ping, and Xia Shouyun doesn't even have the qualifications.
When Ge Huaimin went to Tiandu Mountain, he was just going to make a fortune. He was not worthy of competing with the Five Army of Longyou. This is his knowledgeable worldly affairs, unlike Ren Fu, who is a fool, and he has a clear understanding of his own life.
Seeing that Ge Huaimin understood as soon as he said it, Xia Shouyun nodded secretly. He was indeed a famous general, and he understood the twists and turns in the court very well, which saved him a lot of verbal talk. The battle of Zhuoluo City made Xu Ping famous among other commanders in Shaanxi. When the Protectorate's Office took the initiative to hand over power, and then the unexpected victory of Tiandu Mountain, his status was unbreakable. If Xu Ping proposed the strategy of three troops fighting against Tiandu Mountain at this time, Xia Shouyun would not dare to force his objection and come to Baibao City. If he dared to refuse to obey, the court would immediately transfer him away, and would be specially criticized by a large number of ministers in the court, and his career would be over.
With a gratifying smile, Xia Shouyun said: "We cannot compete with the Longyou army, but we cannot do nothing. We do not expect great merits in this way. As long as we can overcome Ren Fu, who can overcome Jingyuan Road, we will have a perfect merit."
Ge Huaimin nodded repeatedly, saying that he had understood what Xia Shouyun meant. It would be fine if he could not compare to Xu Ping's troops. If he was not as good as a rude man like Ren Fu, his future status would be worrying.
Pointing to the map on the table, Xia Shouyun said, "You set out from Qingzhou and go to Yuanzhou and Pengyang. After arriving at Zhenrong Army, you will station the three villages of Ganxing, Tiansheng and Dongshan. These three villages are close and connected together, and they can be strengthened. I guess that Ren Fu will most likely station the Zhenrong Army. Don't rob him, but let him go. Hao thieves went out of Tiandu Mountain just to plant the gourd north to Weizhou. Even if they go south for a while, they will only be shot. They will still go north. The three villages are on their backs, waiting for Hao thieves to flee north, and you will follow them. If the troops in Longyou can cut off the road to the north from the Xishou Military Supervisory Office, you can make great contributions!"
Ge Huaimin was shocked: "The Taiwei means that Longyou is going to break the Xishou Military Supervisor Division? According to the war reports these days, they have been confronting the thieves there and there is no big battle. Aren't they already unable to attack the enemy?"
Xia Shouyun smiled and shook his head: "This is just a plan for Xu Dumao to delay the army! If they hadn't been able to do this, how could Mr. Lu give this command? As soon as this letter came, I decided that Longyou would break the Xishou Military Supervisor in a few days!"
Ge Huaimin nodded and finally fully understood the current situation. According to Xu Ping, Longyou's style of fighting, and after so many days in Xishou, the attack behind would inevitably be rapid. It is already conceivable that Longyou's attack on Tiandu Mountain will inevitably be like a storm, and if you go too late, you will really not be able to make any contribution.
If, when Longyou blocked Yuanhao's army's road to the north, it would be hard to say what kind of battle he could achieve with his own troops from behind. If he accidentally caught Yuanhao? Thinking of this, Ge Huaimin couldn't help but be excited.
