Liu Fan frowned and said, "That's not what we said. Our original old brothers in the Northern Palace were different from their later ones. We lived and died together, charged together, and trained together for dinner. This feeling of blood thicker than water is different from their later ones. When they joined the army, we were all military generals, their bosses, captains, and brigade coaches."
"But now, Ji Nu deliberately used these newcomers to replace us and gave them the opportunity to make achievements. Huaiyu, when your brother Raptors were still alive, this kind of mission of a forward rushing forward, this kind of opportunity to make achievements was mostly given to him and to us, but have you noticed that since the conquest of Nanyan, this kind of thing has become less and less. Wang Zhene, Tan Daoji, and Zhu brothers, more and more can get the position of a leader in one side, and Chen Tianzi is also one of them. He is not even the people of Jingkou. When he joined the Northern Prefecture Army, he just voted as a surrendered general. Do you think he is with us? "
Meng Huaiyu sighed: "Brother Afan, don't think so. The brothers in Laobei Prefecture have been in the army for more than twenty years. Now they are all middle-aged. Even Brother Tie Niu and Brother A Shou are almost unable to fight now. Brother Jinu is basically impossible to rush forward and kill all directions, break the formation and seize the flag. We have to gradually retreat from the first battle positions, to those commanding places, and to those places where we can see the entire battlefield clearly. This is something that cannot be avoided."
"On the other hand, these tasks commanded by the front line are close to the battlefield, but there are more risks. Just like Chen Tianzi, who has to attack the city himself, and there is also the possibility of shooting the enemy's bows and arrows at that position. Brother Jinu asked him to play the vanguard. After all, he is nearly ten years younger than us. Brother Afan, we are the chief and deputy generals of the entire army. The merit of breaking the city is much greater than the merit of the first climb. Why do you have to compete with Chen Tianzi for this little credit and make the brothers unhappy?"
Liu Fan put away his smile and said coldly: "Huaiyu, are you not clear about the situation? Is this a general first-class merit? The enemy commander in this city, but Xu Daofu, is our mortal enemy for twenty years. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the number one or second-class enemy. This great achievement of completely destroying the Heavenly Master Dao and killing his war commander will not be able to give up easily even Brother Jinu himself. Now this great achievement is right in front of you. Do you really think that Shen Tianzi is worthy of this merit?"
Meng Huaiyu curled the corner of her mouth: "What else can I do? Call Chen Tianzi back and let him watch the battle here. Will we go in and grab the credit by ourselves? Brother Afan, this food is too ugly."
Liu Fan gritted his teeth and said, "That shouldn't be allowed to fully undertake the task of siegeing the city. Why can he go up, but we can't go up? With your order, I will continue to reinforce, even if I lead my troops to climb the city wall instead of going through the city gate."
Meng Huaiyu sighed: "Brother Afan, why are you so anxious to take credit this time? This is not like you at all. You were willing to give credit to us little brothers before. We always thought that you and Brother Daogui are both talented generals, with a broad mind, and are a model of soldiers for our brothers in the North Palace."
Liu Fan glanced around and made sure that amid the shouts of killing, the voices of the two would not reach thirty steps away. Then he whispered: "Huaiyu, don't you understand the situation? Now my elder brother has lost power. Although he still has a legion in his hand, he has not even participated in this battle to pursue the demon thief. Can't you still see this?"
Meng Huaiyu's eyes narrowed slightly: "Brother Xile lost too badly in Sangluozhou and lost the entire Yuzhou directly. This is too much fault. Moreover, many people attributed Brother Wuji's death to Brother Xile. It is reasonable for Brother Jinu to arrange this, but I have always heard that Brother Xile will be restored to his post and become the governor of Yuzhou, or even the governor of Jingzhou."
Liu Fan sneered: "Under normal circumstances, his qualifications and military achievements are enough to be the governors. However, in this battle to pursue demon thieves, many others made contributions. Tan Daoji, as the deputy general of Daogui in the Battle of Jingzhou, made great contributions, and Zhu Chaoshi also made great contributions in the Battle of Jiangling. As for this battle to pacify demon thieves, in the Battle of Jiankang, among the young marshals, you Huaiyu made the greatest contributions!"
"Then when it came to the battle at Zuoli in Leichi, it was Wang Zhene who made great contributions as the vanguard. Shen Linzi also made great contributions, and made great contributions. As for Shen Tianzi, he went to Guangzhou with Sun Chu to fight for the city first, and then went north to pursue Lu Xia. Although he was not caught, he successfully cut off Xu Daofu's way to escape south and trapped him in this Shixing City. Now, Shen Tianzi finally attacked the inner city as a vanguard. Once he really cut off Xu Daofu's head, it would be a great contribution. He would be fully qualified to be the leader of the battle group with these people."
Speaking of this, Liu Fan lowered his voice: "Huaiyu, I believe you have heard a lot of such rumors, saying that the army commander of a large army with tens of thousands of troops in the future, and the commander of a large state or even several major states is also the governor of a large state or even several major states. It is unlikely that the military model of the states will be governed by the military model. We older generation brothers of the Northern Palace have been at the level of giants for many years, becoming the commander of the legion and the commander of the army. However, Jinu wanted to completely centralize power after destroying the Tianshidao, split the legion into a battle group of less than 10,000 people, and then let these new generations of major generals and young marshals serve as battle group commanders. These battle group commanders no longer own the entire province, but only occupy several counties. Even the chief executives of these prefectures may not be held. These positions may be left to the children of aristocratic families to maintain their relationship with the aristocratic families."
Meng Huaiyu pondered for a moment and said, "These are just rumors, not necessarily facts. Moreover, Brother Jinu is interested in establishing institutions such as political affairs halls to allow respected civil and military officials to join this institution and assess the officials and generals of the world. I heard that Brother A Shou already wants to join this organization."
Liu Fan gritted his teeth and said, "That's it. Brother Jinu wants my brother, brother A Shou and other veterans to enter the Political Affairs Hall, and then we old brothers have to hand over the military power and get rid of the army and return to the field. The location is left to Shen Tianzi and the others. Do you really don't mind this?" (End of this chapter)
