Chapter 970: Returning to Beijing
The Zhenxi Army is now far inferior to before.
The main force was scattered everywhere, and all the elite were drawn.
It can be said that since the rebellion of the Ming King, the elite and main forces of the Zhenxi Army were no longer in the west.
If there was no main force of Zhenxi Army, the Ming King would not have been defeated so quickly.
However, even so, Long Wu never complained to the court that there was insufficient military source and poor military armor.
He has been training the soldiers and generals in his hands to guard the western border of Zhao State.
Now the Zhenxi Army has regained its elite troops.
Long Wu can be said to be an absolute commander, and he has managed the people's livelihood in the border states in an orderly manner. Even if the new recruit Danzi is given some time, he can form a powerful combat power in his hands. Even if the troops are seriously insufficient, Long Wu can use these limited forces to play the greatest role.
He created this miracle of defeating more with fewer people several times.
Except for the last time, because Zhenxi Army was so empty that it lost the land of the two states, the other time they even won more than they lost.
It’s a pity that Emperor Zhao is stupid and believes in slander. Even if he wins a good battle, he can still end up cede land and pay compensation.
It can be said that without Longwu guarding the Western Front, Zhao might have fallen long ago.
Due to the influence of Emperor Taizu, the Emperor of Zhao would instinctively fear the generals who could not control them.
The Emperor of Zhao State is worse than the previous generation.
Emperor Zhao of this generation is even more so. He is afraid of generals who are stronger than him...
It can be said that Zhao State is not without good generals, and the number of good generals in Zhao State is actually not inferior to that of Chu State and Zhou State.
However, either they are not reused or dismissed from their posts after reusing.
Even civil officials or even eunuchs who had never fought a war would be sent to the frontier to compete for power of rule with the general, and to kill the good generals.
These are all things done by this Emperor Zhao State.
Every time the Virtuous King and Emperor Zhou heard such news, it was so distressing!
Especially rulers like the wise king who are eager to seek talents.
These are the generals and handsome talents of their Central Plains!
How does Zhao State deserve such a general?
Now, due to Zhao's continuous destruction and continuous micro-operation, the Zhao's military general system has finally been destroyed.
At present, only General Long is left.
The imperial edict from the Zhao court soon arrived in the Zhenxi Army.
This is an ordinary imperial edict to transfer Longwu back to Beijing to report his duties.
Xin Honggao, the deputy general next to Longwu, spoke, "General, it's not time to report his duties yet. Why did Your Majesty transfer the general back at this time? Since Shezhao retreated, Your Majesty has never stopped transferring the elite and main forces of the Zhenxi Army to various troops in Zhao State to fill it. Now that the transfer has just been completed, 80% of the Zhenxi Army's quota are vacant and the general has not been able to replenish it, so he let the general return to Beijing to report his duties. The last general can't figure it out!"
It's really hard to figure it out.
In the past two years, His Majesty has been mobilizing troops in various names, either to prevent rebellion or to enrich the imperial guards.
Now the Zhenxi Army is almost an empty shell and most of them are still new recruits. At this time, the general will be transferred back to Beijing to report on his work?
Because in the past two years, His Majesty has been remotely controlling the army in the capital, General Long just practices military training on weekdays.
What can I describe?
Thank you for your Majesty for the continuous deployment of troops over the past two years?
It's irrelevant at all!
Long Wu looked at Xin Honggao and said, "You have watched Bing'er grow up. I took good care of Bing'er for me during this period of time when I was not here."
Xin Honggao asked: "The general will not return to Beijing with Bing'er this time?"
Long Wu shook his head and said, "Don't let this girl go back."
Xin Honggao had no choice but to receive the order.
Long Wu looked at Xin Honggao and said, "If there is any change in the middle of the Zhenxi Army, please ask someone to escort Bing'er to Chang'an."
Xin Honggao heard General Long's words and wondered: "The general means that Shezhao may take advantage of the empty internal army of Zhenxi during your absence?"
Long Wudao: "You can think so, even though this girl has always wanted to do something by herself and doesn't want to grow up under the protection of her general, but after all, I still have such a daughter. As the commander of the Zhenxi Army, I can fight bloody battles, but as a father, I still have some selfish intentions in it."
Xin Honggao said: "I will remember it at the end."
After instructing Xin Honggao, Long Wu came to Long Binger's tent again and chatted with Long Binger.
When Long Bing'er learned that her father was going to the capital, she wanted to go back to see her mother with her father. Now it's almost the Chinese New Year, and maybe she can have a good New Year with her mother.
It has been a long time since the family has spent a full New Year together.
However, Long Wu rejected Long Bing'er's request, saying that the Long family always wanted to leave someone in the border area to shock the imperial edict. Only in this way did these little guys dare not act rashly.
When Long Binger asked when the family could celebrate the New Year together, Long Wu's answer was, it would definitely be the next time.
...
The news that Long Wu was about to return to Beijing to report his work not only reached the Zhenxi Army, but was also intercepted by the Chu State's intelligence network. However, the intercepted information was not only about the information about the report, but also others.
The production process of this set of imperial edicts was found by anyone who drafted it and anyone else had found out.
Chang'an City, Hanwang Mansion
Carbon fires grow in the quiet room.
The Virtue and Mingwang, who were originally playing Goji, stopped their hands and held a piece of paper in their hands.
The content recorded on both sheets is roughly the same.
After putting down the information, the Virtuous King and the Ming King spoke in unison: "You must not let Long Wu go back!"
Ming Wang said: "My people are already in action and will stop him halfway and tell him the truth."
The wise king just stood up and walked out.
King Ming looked at the wise king and asked, "I have sent someone to stop him halfway. What are you going to do?"
The wise king said: "What are you stopping? I sent a spy shadow to steal people directly! You, the dog emperor of Zhao State!"
Ming Wang: "..."
Xu Qing had just returned from shopping with his three little boys and came back from shopping when he met the wise king who was angrily rushing out of the mansion. He had never seen such a wise king before, as if someone had robbed his wife.
Xu Qing looked at Ming Wang who walked out of the quiet room and asked, "What happened?"
The King of Ming handed Xu Qing a piece of paper and said, "You can see it yourself."
After reading the content on the paper, Xu Qing cursed: "The Dog Emperor of Zhao!"
Ming Wang: "..."
...
Zhao State Western Xinjiang
After carefully arranging all the affairs of the Zhenxi Army, Long Wu began to set off and return to Beijing. He only brought only twenty personal guards beside him, and there was no other one.
Even in winter, the southwestern border of Zhao State, which had little snow, started to snow heavily at this time, and the road was particularly slippery and difficult to walk.
It seemed as if God didn't want General Long to return to the capital.
