At this point, the military affairs meeting Li Rusong envisioned was completely out of shape and could only be turned into a meeting with a delegation.
For Li Rusong, if he could not establish his authority, the military discussion would have lost its soul.
He felt that he needed some time to rethink and sort out his emotions.
After completing the psychological construction, Li Rusong left his main camp and came to the supervisory army camp nearby.
"How could this happen?" General Li asked Supervisor Lin very depressedly.
Although General Li has his eyes set high above his head, he is still very loyal to those he recognizes.
Leng Buding suddenly discovered that the biggest obstacle preventing him from seizing power was not the governor or the generals, but the supervisors who had always been regarded as his little brothers. He was really depressed.
No wonder Brother Lin has been taciturn and indifferent since he arrived. It turns out that it still has such connotations!
Therefore, there was a hint of resentment in the tone of General Li's question.
Lin Tailai slapped the case, stared, stood up suddenly, and said excitedly: "You! Why didn't you get here a few days earlier?
If you could have arrived in Ningxia early, these problems would not have occurred!"
Li Rusong: "???"
It's obvious that you have seized power, why are you so aggrieved and agitated?
Lin Supervisor sighed and sat down again: "With so many general soldiers gathered together, the biggest drawback is that they are not under each other's control!
I'm afraid that before you get to Ningxia, something big might happen because of the lack of morale among the troops. Think about the outcome of the Eighteen Route Princes' crusade against Dong Zhuo.
In order to maintain unity, I can only be forced to shoulder the burden helplessly. I can't just watch the soldiers lose their morale, right?"
Li Rusong said in shock: "So, it's all my fault that I came too late?"
Lin Tailai pinched his forehead and kept sighing, "I told you a long time ago that the generals have their own ideas, and the water here is very deep. Look at this, am I right?"
Li Rusong couldn't help but replied: "It's not the depth of the water, it's the muddy water that prevented me from seeing clearly!"
Lin Tailai continued helplessly: "Their generals just don't agree with you, so they deliberately pushed me out to compete with you in the ring.
As the saying goes, the human heart cannot be violated, but I, the supervisor, can't help myself, and I have really suffered from them!"
The truth was so convincing that General Li was speechless for a moment.
After being speechless for a moment, he asked again: "What happened to the Governor?"
Lin Tailai replied: "Well, they are all working to fight against rebellion, but the division of labor is different.
Ye Zhutai may think that I, Lin Tailai, are more suitable to supervise operations on the front line, while he is more suitable to sit in the rear.
Don't use the vulgar thinking of fighting for power and gain to measure Governor Ye's noble character."
Lin Jianjun's words were indeed watertight. After Li Rusong sighed, he said to the point:
"So when I come to Ningxia to make great achievements, the biggest obstacle is actually you?"
I was a step too slow in taking action, couldn't reason enough, and was heartbroken.
Lin Tailai responded in surprise: "Didn't you say before that as a co-inspector of the governor, in charge of the governor's office of the rear army, and the heir apparent of Uncle Ning Yuan, there is no use in making meritorious service?"
Li Rusong: "."
That's Versailles! That's pretense! Why do you take it seriously?
So Li Rusong quickly said: "Don't say that! Although I don't covet merit, I still have to do things. Otherwise, how can I live up to the emperor's expectations?"
Lin Tailai added: "You also said that the two of us have the final say in this army together; no one, no matter the governor or the major military leaders, can overwhelm us.
Isn't the current situation just what you want? With the two of us joining forces, have we already firmly controlled the military?
Just assume that I have helped you with the unified order in advance, do you have to tell me so clearly and have to meet me?"
Li Rusong felt that he had been convinced. What else could he do if he didn't want to be convinced?
Falling out with Brother Lin? That’s not an option.
Only children think about having it all, and adults can only choose the less bad option among two unfavorable options.
So General Li asked again: "Who will command the siege?"
Lin Tailai said very firmly: "Of course I give you full power, and I will never interfere with your command! You are the commander-in-chief, and everything will be according to your orders!"
General Li finally felt relieved. If even the command was taken away, what would be the point of being a general?
Just after the forceful attack by Ma Gui, the army has almost rested and recuperated.
So Li Rusong didn't wait any longer and began to organize the entire army to attack the city again.
However, there was another military report, and a Lu chief, Li Tu, personally led the main force and came from the direction of Helan Mountain to support Kueibai.
Then Supervisor Lin took the initiative to request that he personally lead his troops to the northern periphery to guard against the cavalry.
So as not to interfere with General Li's command or accidentally take credit.
Anyway, according to the rules, you Li Rusong can't be defeated now. If you are defeated, then it will be a good sale.
Faced with this strong sense of brotherhood, Li Rusong was secretly ashamed. Was he too selfish?
So Lin Tailai brought 10,000 troops and the Da Yunbiao Battalion, assisted by Deputy Commander Xiao Ruxun, and went to the north to provide warning.
In the original historical time and space, there were three or four families of captive chiefs seduced by Kuaibai, and even Bu Shitu Jinong led his troops from Gansu to support them.
But in this time and space, because Lin Tailai killed the two great captive chiefs Walata Bu Nang and Bu Tu Jinong before Lin Tai came, this greatly frightened the tribes of the northern captives.
Therefore, the leader of the captives who was still willing to do his best to support Kuaibai was left with the toughest person like Litu, which doubled the pressure on the officers and soldiers.
Needless to say, this is another chief who is seriously dissatisfied with the horse market.
Moreover, I heard that Zhulitu was the brother of Huo Luochi, who had previously invaded Lintao, and he could be considered a die-hard.
Lin Tailai was quite speechless about this. As long as the market share of 10,000 horses can be transferred from Xuanda, many problems can be solved directly, but Mrs. Zhongshun, that bitch, won't do it.
No wonder a few decades later, after Anda Yuyin was completely gone, the various right-wing ministries that had been powerful for a while were wiped out by the sect leader Lin Dan Khan, and even Guihua City was occupied.
For the Beilu tribe, the Ming Dynasty divided them into many names according to their regions. For example, those in Hetao were called Taolu, those in the West Sea were called Hailu, and those in the Big and Small Songshan Mountains between Gansu and Ningxia were called Songlu.
Among them, it is recognized that the Songlu are the most rubbish in terms of combat effectiveness. They are labeled as "good and fun-loving", and the Jingli Rabbit is the larger one among the Songlu.
Previously, Xiao Ruxun stood firm in the isolated city, and the Luqi defeated by ambushes and raids were the subordinates of Julilitu.
This time Jilitu personally led the main force to take revenge, but the result was not much better.
Ten days after the alarm spread, the force rabbits who entered Ningxia contributed another great victory to Lin Tailai in early May.
In the end, Jinglitu led the remaining troops and fled in a panic across the Helan Mountains.
Lin Tailai won his sixth victory since moving to the northwest, and his heart was untroubled.
Under the Ningxia city, Li Rusong had been commanding the army to attack the city, but he modified his tactics and used the earth-filling method to attack the city.
But the effect was not good. Just like Ma Gui, I still got nothing after trying it for more than ten days.
The officers and soldiers once again entered the rest period, and then Li Rusong also received the news of Lin Tailai's sixth victory in time, and there was a small wave in his heart.
Although this kind of great victory cannot be compared with the victory of destroying the city, it is still a victory that can clear up the memorial.
I have been in Ningxia for half a month, and I have nothing to write even if I want to write memorials.
After solving the threat from the Jilitu tribe, Lin Tailai left Xiao Ruxun to continue to guard the north, and he himself returned to the Ningxia City Camp.
Looking at the city walls of Ningxia City, Supervisor Lin, who had returned from the field, was very surprised and said to Li Rusong who looked tired:
"You haven't conquered Ningxia City yet? I thought I could enter the city directly after I came back this time."
Li Rusong: "."
The old man was heartbroken and really speechless.
Lin Tailai said worriedly: "The gathering of armies is equivalent to burning silver, ten thousand taels every day.
Two months have passed since Kuaibai was trapped in Ningxia City in March, and the imperial court must be very anxious."
Li Rusong: "."
Lin Tailai muttered again: "The emperor is also eager to complete the task, otherwise he would not have transferred so many general soldiers one after another. This clearly shows that the emperor is anxious.
You have been in the army for half a month, but your efforts are still in vain, and I don’t know how long the emperor can endure it."
Li Rusong: "."
Lin Tailai said with hatred: "Every time I think of this battle, I feel anxious for you, but why are you not anxious at all?"
Li Rusong couldn't help but ask: "Do you have a way to destroy the city?"
Lin Tailai hesitated to speak. After a moment of silence, he shook his head and said, "I, Lin Tailai, am not someone who takes credit from my friends. How can I take over the guest's place?"
Li Rusong: "."
Lin Tailai then raised his hand, rested on Li Rusong's head for a moment, then moved to Li Rusong's shoulder, and patted him three times.
Then he said no more and turned back to the camp to rest.
Damn it! Li Rusong's mentality exploded instantly. Who hasn't read Journey to the West?
He hurriedly chased after him and shouted: "No matter what happens, it's all on me! Don't wait for the third watch, tell me now!"
Lin Tailai casually gave instructions: "Don't be idle during these days of rest. Send a large number of sergeants to the city to project arrows to recruit the rebels!"
Li Rusong was immediately disappointed and continued: "If you surrender at this time, you will be accused by the officials of being cowardly and flattering the enemy.
The Emperor also deeply hates Kuai Bai for his rebellion and wants to kill him immediately."
The purpose of Kuaibai's defense is to force the imperial court to surrender. If he surrenders now, wouldn't it be playing into Kuaibai's wish?
Lin Tailai replied: "Who said we have to recruit Kuaibai? Kuaibai, his father and son, and all the backbones must die!"
But this time a large number of arrows were thrown into the city in order to recruit the middle and lower classes of the rebels to surrender and induce them to take the initiative to act as internal agents."
Li Rusong said doubtfully: "Is this possible?"
Lin Tailai replied: "First, the rebels were trapped for two months, which also consumed a huge amount of money, and foreign aid was completely cut off.
Anyone with a little bit of brains can now see that it is only a matter of time before the rebels trapped in the isolated city fail.
Secondly, there must be many middle- and lower-level members of the rebels who have been coerced, and they must not be willing to perish with the rebels. They are just trapped in the city and cannot find any chance anyway.
Therefore, projecting a large number of recruitment and surrender arrows into the city will definitely shake the morale of the rebels.
There must be someone who is willing to respond internally, and also use the same method of arrow writing, shooting from the city to the front of the army, and agreeing on a time to give orders."
Li Rusong was dubious, "Is it that simple?"
Lin Tailai said: "I have nothing to do these days anyway, so why not give it a try? It's just a waste of some bows and arrows."
In the original history, the army failed to capture the city of Ningxia after several months of attack.
With no choice but to delay for a long time, they had no choice but to attack with water, diverting water from the Yellow River and surrounding lakes to pour into the city of Ningxia, and then the city was destroyed.
But the cost was huge. A great city in the northwest was directly destroyed, and rebuilding it was incredibly expensive.
Moreover, countless innocent people in the city died in floods and military disasters, and the situation was tragic.
But before the water attack, the officers and soldiers had a chance to break the city.
At that time, several military attachés in the city were unwilling to rebel and took the initiative to shoot arrows outside the city to the west. They agreed with the officers and soldiers to set fire to the city tower at night as a signal, and they should cooperate with the outside to attack the west gate.
The commander-in-chief in charge of the west part of the city was the resentful Li Yu, who was slow to respond after picking up the arrow book.
And because of the conflicts between the various commanders, the officers and soldiers ultimately failed to cooperate with the internal response in the city.
It may also be that you have doubts and don’t know whether the internal response is true or false.
When the fire broke out in the west tower, the governor in the military camp did not know what had happened.
In the end, except for two or three people who hung ropes from the city wall to urge the officers and soldiers to come to the rescue, all the other internal agents were killed by the rebels.
This is the most regrettable opportunity to besiege Ningxia City.
What Lin Tailai envisaged was to take the initiative to lead out this opportunity as early as possible.
If the city can be destroyed normally, at least most of the people in the city can survive and not become undead in the flood.
The cost of Lin Tailai's suggestion was not high, so Li Rusong had no need to refuse, so he went ahead with the arrangement.
Then Lin Tailai said to Li Rusong: "There are four sides of the city, and we don't know where the enemy will appear.
In order to prevent the officers and soldiers from missing good opportunities due to their doubts, it is necessary for you and me to take charge separately.
If an internal emergency occurs, respond immediately and supervise the formation personally."
Li Rusong was a little confused. Looking forward to the appearance of Guiying, wasn't it equivalent to getting lucky?
You are acting very seriously, as if you can break the city in no time.
Finally, Lin Tailai asked seriously: "You and I, one is in the south camp, taking care of the east, and the other is in the west camp, taking care of the north, and at the same time we echo each other.
Give you a chance to choose, which side do you want to be on?"
Li Rusong said casually: "Nanying is the main camp and it is inconvenient for me to leave, so I will take care of the east side from Nanying."
Lin Tailai confirmed: "Are you sure? Then I will go to Xiying to take care of the north?
In fact, I watched the celestial phenomena at night and calculated with my fingers that the advantage lies in the west, do you think about it again?"
Li Rusong said impatiently: "Stop pretending! Do you think you are the storytelling version of Zhuge Kongming, Xu Maogong, and Liu Bowen?"
Also, why are you so verbose today? Do you want to trick me into leaving the main camp so that you can occupy the magpie's nest? "
Lin Tailai laughed a few times and said, "God's will! God's will! Let's go and work separately!"
If General Li is given a chance and you don't take it, there's nothing you can do about it.
Listening to Lin Tailai's laughter, Li Rusong felt inexplicably as if he had missed a million taels of silver.
