"It's a big military matter. How can we allow a kid with a bad mouth to talk nonsense? Come here and take him down."
"Grandpa, Bai Song is just..."
"Okay, no need to say any more! Everyone, step aside!"
Bai Song stopped the soldiers entering the tent and said in a deep voice: "There is not much time left for the general. Isn't the general impatient at all? Apart from this strategy, does the general have any other strategies to defeat the enemy?"
"Bai Song, stop talking!" Li Shuwang was very worried and reminded him repeatedly.
Li Jing didn't like this person at all, but the more he saw his precious granddaughter getting closer to him, the more disgusted he felt towards this poor family.
Hearing what this man said, he couldn't bear it. He stood up and walked to Bai Song, stared at him and asked, "Are you going to teach me how to use troops? Do you think I can't defeat the enemy?"
"The general's plan is nothing more than to pretend to be defeated and lure the Turkic army to advance rashly. He will lengthen the Turkic army's supply line and wait for the Turkic army's rear to be insufficiently supplied. If he can wait until the Turkic army's rear is in chaos, the general can defeat the enemy without fighting.
Judging from the current situation, the Turks will retreat if it takes another half a year. By then, the general will lead his army to pursue them and win a great victory."
Li Jing's angry eyes suddenly froze. He didn't expect that this kid could actually see his plan, and he softened slightly: "I have been planning for a year for the moment of counterattack. Now the most critical moment has come, and this general is the winner.
It’s in hand, what else do you have to say?”
"The general doesn't have time and can't wait more than half a year. Does the general want to carry out this plan even at the risk of being blamed by the emperor? And who can guarantee whether there will be any unexpected changes in the next six months?
"
"Don't say any more. The general has his own plans. You, a doctor, should do your own thing! Leave the military camp immediately tomorrow morning!"
Li Jing lost his patience and waved his hand again.
Several people in the tent were kicked out, and everyone's expressions were a little solemn.
I thought it was always a matter of reward based on merit, so why did it end up being so unpleasant?
Bai Song straightened his clothes angrily and said nothing.
Li Shuwang looked at him with concern: "What's wrong with you? Why are you so quarrelsome when talking in the tent? Didn't you say you would give me good advice?"
Bai Song shook his head, not wanting to explain.
He had no good impressions of Li Jing, and he still remembered that Li Jing wanted to use the help of the Turks to get rid of him. If it wasn't for Shu Wang's sake, he would never come back here.
"Miss, the general is calling you." Someone from behind suddenly shouted.
Li Shuwang frowned slightly, looked back, and then said to Bai Song: "You go and rest first. I'll talk to grandpa. I believe he will use your strategy."
…
Li Shuwang returned to the military tent and saw his grandfather looking at the terrain map. He hurried forward: "Grandpa, Bai Song's strategy is actually good. We have seen the situation behind the Turks with our own eyes. There are really few Turks in the grassland. Besides, this time
We also have other Turkic tribes to support us..."
Li Jing didn't wait for his granddaughter to finish speaking, turned around, put down the tea cup in his hand, and suddenly asked: "There is a rumor in the army that you and Bai Song have a private life-long contract. Is this possible?"
Li Shuwang was stunned. He didn't expect his grandfather to ask this question, so he subconsciously answered: "No such thing."
"But is there any love between you and Bai Song?"
Li Shuwang had a blush on his face and hesitated not knowing what to say.
"Okay, there's no need to say anything." Li Jing knew what his granddaughter was thinking at a glance, and his face darkened, "Shu Wang, you must be clear that with his status, he is not worthy of our Li family."
"But..." Li Shuwang became a little anxious, "Didn't grandpa say before... that I... I could persuade him to work for grandpa? Didn't he just offer his advice..."
"You are from a poor family, but you dare to talk nonsense in front of the tent. Grandpa is extremely kind to him by allowing him to live. Grandpa allows you to follow the army all the way, not to stay at home, but how can you make your own decision on this important matter of marriage? This son is very important.
Love, but if you were born too poor and humble, you are destined to miss it."
"grandfather……"
Li Jing interrupted again: "Grandpa made it clear to you earlier, because he didn't want you to sink deeper into it. Sooner or later, he gave up thinking and asked him to leave quickly. It was for your own good and his own good. I believe you don't want to see it either.
Will what happened three months ago happen again?”
A trace of sadness came to my heart, and the memory I didn't want to be mentioned was actually brought back by the other party.
Li Shuwang didn't want to think about what happened three months ago. In her heart, her grandfather was a great hero, with high authority and respect.
There is no way such a grandpa can be inconsistent with his appearance, let alone everything he tells himself.
It was still dark outside, but Li Shuwang suddenly felt a hint of the coolness of the night. He looked at his grandfather and asked in a trembling voice: "Grandpa, if I don't agree to your promise, will you plan to kill him like last time?"
Li Jing said coldly: "You should know that even if he has meritorious service, as the commander-in-chief of the entire army, Grandpa will allow 10,000 ways to take his life."
Li Shuwang trembled again and lowered his head in disappointment: "I...I understand, I will persuade him to leave."
"Shu Wang, grandpa, all this is for..."
Li Shuwang didn't listen anymore and had already left the camp.
There was no trace of Bai Song outside. Shu Wang did not go to find Bai Song immediately. He climbed to the sentry tower alone, looked at the dusk color scattered in the sky, and wiped away tears.
After Li Shuwang left, Li Jing immediately summoned all the generals to discuss matters.
This meeting came suddenly, and the soldiers were not prepared at all. After everyone arrived, Li Jing took down the map and placed it among the generals. He pointed at a place and whispered: "I suddenly felt something. If
We assembled a force and went deep into the enemy's heartland, directly taking Dingxiang. What do you think?"
When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but be shocked. They looked around and did not dare to express their opinions easily.
Li Jing then said in a deep voice: "As you all are concerned, I naturally know that Dingxiang is an important choke point for the Turks. Normally speaking, this place must be heavily guarded. But if you think about it carefully, the Turks would never have thought that we would appear.
A surprise attack on such an important place. In addition, our front line has been stretched, the Turks have transferred all their troops to the front line, and the rear must be empty. More importantly, Ben will get reliable news that there is a tribe in the Turks who is willing to cooperate with us inside and outside to attack.
Xiang."
The soldiers heard this and behaved differently.
Some people are still confused, some become excited, and some are even more nervous.
After a moment of silence, someone said: "The general is really a god in using troops. If we can send magic soldiers from the sky to capture Dingxiang, our army will be able to reverse its decline immediately!"
"Exactly, the young general thinks this method is feasible."
"General, although this method is feasible, it is extremely risky after all. If we hold on and wait until the Turks retreat to pursue us, we will have a greater chance of winning."
Li Jing said angrily: "I don't have so much time to wait. If it weren't for the pressure from the court, how could I have adopted such a dangerous move? I have made up my mind. I will immediately mobilize 3,000 elite cavalry from various ministries. I will personally escort him tomorrow morning.
Let us go out from the gate and take a detour to capture Dingxiang."
…
Bai Song walked to the school grounds with nothing to do and saw a few soldiers practicing.
Everything before had made Bai Song feel depressed. Seeing this scene, he suddenly thought of practicing martial arts.
After months of reminiscing, Bai Song was looking forward to developing martial arts skills. Although Zhang Shuyuan poured cold water on him, the fire in his heart had not been extinguished.
Bai Song walked over, took a spear, and then stood next to a few soldiers and imitated their movements.
Not long after Bai Song was playing with it, applause came from the distance.
"Brother Bai, are you really interested in practicing martial arts?"
Zhang Shuyuan walked slowly with a smile on his face.
Bai Song quickly threw away his spear, wiped his sweat, and said angrily: "It's nothing, I just feel aggrieved and want to vent my anger."
"Brother Bai, after all, the general has a distinguished status, and you have to seek strategies when talking to him."
"Hmph! He used the Turks to kill me, so I still have to be polite to him?"
"Hush... don't talk nonsense in the military camp."
"With such an army, it's no wonder that we are defeated again and again."
"The general has long-term plans, but there is a lot of pressure on the court, so he can't have both."
"The commander-in-chief of the entire army cannot think everything through and take potential problems into account when formulating strategies. This is a dereliction of duty on the part of a general."
"What a loud tone!" A strange voice came from the side.
A young general walked over quickly carrying a long gun.
"See you, Major General!" Zhang Shuyuan said and immediately saluted respectfully.
"Young General?" Bai Song was a little confused.
But this person seemed to recognize Bai Song. He walked straight to Bai Song, looked up and down for a while, and asked, "Are you Bai Song?"
"Exactly."
As soon as he finished speaking, the other party raised his hand without warning and pointed his spear directly at Bai Song: "Someone in the army spread the news again, saying that you killed the first Turkic warrior? Come, let's ask about the gestures."
"Young General, Brother Bai is not a military general." Zhang Shuyuan explained hurriedly.
"Did I ask you?"
The other party glared coldly, then stared at Bai Song: "With your body and bones, how could you kill the first Turkic warrior? It's simply a fantasy! People in the army are saying that no one has seen you kill the first Turkic warrior. Everything
These are all your family’s words, which are not trustworthy at all.”
Bai Song was in a bad mood and asked: "Does killing have to use force?"
The other party paused for a few seconds, then suddenly put away his spear, stepped forward, and hugged Bai Song suddenly: "But I believe it!"
Bai Song was a little confused and didn't know who this person was. He only heard the other party say excitedly: "I was stationed in the north of Youzhou. I heard that Shu Wang was captured, and I had mixed feelings. Fortunately, you rescued Shu Wang, otherwise I wouldn't be able to follow him.
Her dead brother told me. Brother Bai, please accept my worship!"
After saying that, the man threw away his spear and gave Bai Song a serious look.
Bai Song was confused the whole time and looked back at Zhang Shuyuan.
Zhang Shuyuan explained with a smile: "This is General Li Miao, the general of Zhenbei, the principal of the Hussars Camp. He is the eldest grandson of the general, and he is the cousin of the young lady."
"It turns out he's Shu Wang's cousin..." Bai Song quickly returned the greeting, and then looked at the person carefully.
This man is in his mid-twenties, clean-cut, and has clear features.
Compared with Bai Song's handsomeness that was more feminine, Li Miao's handsomeness was that of a standard young general, which was more in line with the beauty of a young man that women wanted.
Li Miao excitedly grabbed Bai Song's hand and explained: "I was ordered to pick up Shu Wang and Shu He's team, but because I arrived a step too late, Shu Wang disappeared and Shu He died. The three of us have been together since childhood, and Shu He has died.
He is a person who shares life and death, and Shu Wang is my most important sister! Shu He asked me before his death to protect Shu Wang throughout his life and not let Shu Wang feel any grievance. But..."
