After all, it was "East, Li, and West Ma". Lin Tailai could certainly see that Ma Gui wanted to express his intention in front of Li Rusong.
The best way to express this is of course to destroy the city of Ningxia before Li Rusong arrives.
Everyone has a comparison mentality. We are all at the rank of military commander. We are both senior and older than you, Li Rusong. Why is it that you, Li Rusong, are the commander-in-chief of Shaanxi's rebellion military affairs?
Just by looking at the name, you can tell that the general soldier Li Rusong is a little bigger than the other general soldiers.
The admiral is the commander-in-chief who oversees all rebellious military affairs, and is the commander-in-chief of the commander-in-chief.
In fact, it's not just Li Rusong's problem. Ma Gui was appointed this time and was only given the title of deputy commander. He must have been unconvinced.
For a person who has served as a commander-in-chief for more than 20 years, being a deputy commander-in-chief is obviously not enough, and he must do his best to be promoted back.
Faced with Ma Gui's challenge, Lin Tailai thought deeply about it.
From a military point of view, now that the reinforcements from Yansui and Datong have arrived, and the official army has gathered more and more, it seems to be quite embarrassing if they still dare not attack the city.
No matter what, we have to fight to wear down and scare the rebels.
From a political point of view, if he, the supervisor of the army, with tens of thousands of troops, has been waiting outside the city, he will definitely be accused by a bunch of officials for fearing the enemy and fighting cowardly, and wasting food and salary.
Don't underestimate the determination of the Qingliu party members and Yanguan to cause trouble in the rear and manipulate themselves, and don't overestimate the temper and IQ of Emperor Wanli.
After thinking about it in his mind, Supervisor Lin began to say to Ma Gui in a deep voice: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend. In fact, we are our own people."
Ma Gui: "?"
What does this mean? Are you asking people to guess riddles again?
Do we have a common enemy? It can’t be Li Rusong, right?
Lin Tailai continued: "Last year, the emperor sent his courtiers to patrol the nine sides separately. For example, I went to Xuanfu.
I remember that I went on patrol in Ningxia and the person who impeached you was Zeng Qianheng?"
Ma Gui replied: "That's exactly who he is."
It's annoying to say that when the imperial envoy came last year, he impeached me, the chief military officer of Ningxia Town.
If you have the ability to imitate the imperial envoy who went to Xuanfu Town, you can directly depose the governor!
Lin Tailai said very straightforwardly: "Zeng Qianheng is a member of the Qingliu Party, and I am a political enemy. Do you understand now?"
When Ma Gui saw that the supervisor had become closer to him, he also said wisely: "I understand! I understand! We are one of our own!"
Only a fool would argue with the supervisors at this time. Seeing the supervisors acting like this, they would agree to attack the city by themselves.
"But!" Lin Tailai made a twist, "When we were in the capital, Governor Li and I got along like brothers with different surnames!
I also treat you as one of my own. We don’t talk secretly among ourselves, and we don’t hide things between us as straightforward people.
I just want to ask, if I allow you to take credit, how can I be worthy of Brother Li?"
Ma Gui was a little anxious and said quickly: "Nearly 40,000 troops gathered outside the city. If you still don't take action, you will definitely be laughed at by the rebels!
This will boost the morale of the rebels in disguise and weaken the fighting spirit of the officers and soldiers, so we should attack the city now!"
Lin Tailai let out a long sigh, "What you said makes sense. I still have to put the overall situation first.
You can't give up the overall situation just for the sake of a personal relationship, and prevent you from making great achievements."
Ma Gui was afraid that Supervisor Lin would regret it, so he said his thanks first: "Thank you very much, Supervisor Lin, for your leniency!"
The favorability towards Supervisor Lin increases by forty!
Lin Tailai said helplessly: "Come on! In order to give you a chance this time, I really don't care about brotherhood for the time being!"
As for the Governor, you can ask me to help you without you having to worry about it. But..."
Ma Gui was afraid of hearing the but now, but could only endure it and continue listening.
Lin Tailai added: "But Lao Dong is now the chief military officer of Ningxia Town and the nominal commander in chief.
If you want to command the siege, do you need to talk to Lao Dong first?"
Ma Gui patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, supervisor! Brother Dong and I were both generals in Datong, and we are both our own people!"
I told him, and he said that as long as the supervisory army agrees to attack the city, he will promise to delegate power to me!"
Lin Tailai originally wanted to sell Ma Gui a better deal on Dong Yikui's side, but he didn't expect that Dong Yikui had already given in.
What else can Supervisor Lin say, except that Dong Yikui is really an honest man.
It’s no wonder that a good military commander back then was like an elevator. He was impeached repeatedly, and was finally moved to a remote place by Wang Chonggu to be the deputy commander-in-chief.
Of course, there are objective reasons. Ma Gui served as the commander-in-chief of Ningxia Town for more than ten years and was only dismissed last year. His prestige among Ningxia soldiers is much higher than that of Dong Yikui.
Moreover, Ma Gui was born in Datong Town and served as the general soldier of Datong for more than ten years. The Datong Town reinforcements also served Ma Gui.
Therefore, Dong Yikui also understood that his overall influence as a foreigner was definitely not as good as that of Ma Gui, and his prestige was not established in a short period of time.
If you refuse to give up the right to command, and your command fails in the end, and then the officers and soldiers still listen to Ma Gui, that would be really funny.
After receiving the authorization from Supervisor Lin, Ma Gui left happily and began to formulate an siege plan.
However, taking the opportunity of patrolling the camp, Lin Tailai went to see Dong Yikui and said a few words of comfort.
After all, Dong Yikui and his younger brother Dong Yiyuan are still the chief military officer of Yansui Town, with one branch and two general soldiers. They will be useful when they go to North Korea later, so they are worth continuing to win over.
After coming out of Dong Yikui's camp, Lin Tailai said to the head of the publicly funded bodyguard. Oh no, to Dayun, the general of the standard camp: "Take two bottles of wine and go to Xiying to visit Li Yu!"
General Da Shen said in astonishment: "Junmen, you actually want to drink in the army again!"
Lin Tailai replied: "It's just a few drinks. As long as you don't drink too much, it won't be a problem."
Besides, doing some illegal and forbidden things together is also a way to enhance friendship.
General Da Shen asked again in surprise: "Why did the army suddenly think of having a drink with General Li?"
Lin Tailai sighed: "It is difficult to be a supervisor of the army, but it is even more difficult to be a supervisor of the army doing the governor's errands."
Not only must we organize the battle, but we must also be responsible for psychological massage and mobilizing the enthusiasm of the generals!”
Guyuan Town Deputy Commander-in-Chief Photographer Li Chu, the Commander-in-Chief Commander, was sitting in the camp, looking gloomily at the siege instructions sent by Ma Gui.
"Don't look at it now, let's have a drink!" Supervisor Lin walked into the camp and put the bottle on the table.
Then he called to Dayun and said: "You also come together and pour wine for Mr. Li!"
After finishing half a bottle of wine, Li Xi said unhappily: "The rebels were so powerful earlier that they swept through the Forty-Seven Forts in the west of the river, and their troops were approaching the east of the river!
The towns were unable to rescue them, so I rushed to Lingzhou and defeated the rebels outside Lingzhou."
Hearing this, Lin Tailai put down his wine glass and frowned, "Huh?"
Li Yu reorganized his words and said: "Under your planning and command, I led the charge in Lingzhou, defeated the enemy, saved Hedong and counterattacked to Hexi!
Then, under your personal command and leadership as the supervisor, we marched for more than a hundred miles and were defeated in Yuquan by our own soldiers!
Then, under your command as the supervisor, I led the army to regain the Forty-seventh Fort in Hexi, forcing Kuaibai to be trapped in Ningxia City!"
General Da Shen felt that he had been ignored, so he used the strength of his wine to say: "There is also me! I am also the first to climb up every formation, risking arrows and stones myself, and being injured in several places!"
Li Yan ignored Dayun and only said to Supervisor Lin: "What happened? The imperial court sent Dong Yikui, Ma Gui, and Li Rusong behind them!
It was obviously me who took the lead in counterattacking the rebels, it was obviously me who forced the rebels back to Ningxia City, and it was obviously me who regained the lost territory in Hexi. Of course, it was all under your command, Supervisor.
But why did the court send them here? Why are they the protagonists now?
I'm not convinced. Why didn't the imperial court use me as the general to attack Ningxia City? Why did the imperial court let them pick the final fruits of victory?
In the future, when the world talks about pacifying the Kuaibai Rebellion, they will only see that they were the main ones who attacked Ningxia City and either captured or beheaded Kuaibai! And I was just one of the soldiers who participated in the siege!"
In the past half month, Li Yu had been holding back so much resentment that he burst out all of a sudden.
Lin Tailai sighed, poured a glass of wine for Li Yan himself, and then replied:
"You should also understand this. They are all from a family of generals. Their fathers are at least generals, and their brothers are also generals.
And what about you? Your father seems to be just an ordinary military attaché, right?
Moreover, they have been in business for two or three generations for decades, and there are always people in the court who can help them speak up and recommend them when encountering problems.
And what about you? Even if you are the hero of the counterattack, who in the DPRK will speak for you?"
General Da Shen said with some sympathy: "General Li is taking the lead, and the military is watching. Please help General Li speak."
Lin Tailai seemed helpless and said to Li Yu: "I am far away in the northwest, and I often feel that I am beyond my reach.
Even if it has great influence on the imperial court, it can only achieve one point of effect.
If you look at Da Shengjun, in terms of merit, it is not an exaggeration to be promoted from guerrilla general to chief soldier in one year.
But up to now, he has not even been appointed as deputy commander-in-chief, and I will probably have to wait until my squadron returns to the court after the war before I can arrange it for him."
General Da Shen looked confused. Who are you trying to fool, Supervisor Lin?
Aren't you, Supervisor Lin, unable to trust other military generals and begging for the brave and fearless Tada Donglou to stay in Biaoying as a general?
If you are promoted to Deputy Commander-in-Chief, you will not be able to be given the title of Supervisor Lin to command the standard battalion, so you deliberately put rewards behind others based on merit.
At this time, Li Yu suddenly had an epiphany. He pushed the golden mountain and knocked down the jade pillar. He bowed his head and said loudly:
"I really don't know anyone in the court, but I only know Supervisor Lin!
When the Wanwanglin Supervisory Army returns to the court in triumph one day, they will still be able to remember the last general!"
That's right, Lin Tailai raised his glass to signal, and said boldly: "Look, you're just talking about this!
After all, you and I can be considered as the ones who fought together from Lingzhou to Ningxia City, let alone those useless things."
Winning over military generals with the highest cost performance is another plus!
After all, he still didn't dare to get drunk, so he just wanted to do whatever he wanted. Lin Tailai comforted Li Yu and returned to his camp.
General Da Shen, the head of the publicly funded bodyguard, finally understood what psychological massage is, which is to win over people's hearts.
But Lin Supervisor, who was in charge of psychological massage, felt tired. The imperial court was really sick and wanted to seek medical treatment. Why did he send so many soldiers here at once?
The relationship between the commander-in-chief and the commander-in-chief is complicated. Even if Li Rusong comes, other commander-in-chiefs may not all obey Li Rusong.
The water here is too deep. Brother Li, you can't control it. If the other commanders don't listen to you, there's nothing you can do. Let him, Supervisor Lin, command the final battle!
By the way, when it comes to psychological massage, there is one person missing.
So Supervisor Lin suddenly stopped General Da Shen again, and said in a serious voice: "Donglou, I have looked at all the generals recently and found that there is no one better than you.
Even though they all belong to one general or another, in fact, none of their generals are as good as you!
In my heart, you are also the commander-in-chief! When Li Rusong comes, there will be eight commander-in-chiefs here in Ningxia City, and you are the eighth in my heart!"
Da Shenjiang: "."
It is rare for Lin Junmen to say good things, but he actually sounds so nice! He is indeed the number one scholar in both civil and military affairs.
