The Northern Han Dynasty's campaign to suppress Japanese aggression was different. It had to be completed as quickly as possible without any delay, otherwise it might give the Qin army an opportunity to take advantage of it. Therefore, the selection of the leading generals must be done carefully.
In A Liuche's view, Li Ling and other four generals who took the initiative to fight were actually not suitable as leading generals.
Although Li Ling and Tian Yu are both civil and military, they are too young and lack experience. They can certainly train troops, but they may not be able to convince the public if they lead the army.
As for Su Jian and Xian Yufu, they were both brave and foolhardy, and the Japanese pirates this time were extremely cunning, so it was impossible for them to take on important positions.
There were actually many generals in the Northern Han Dynasty who were suitable to lead the army, including Wei Qing, Li Guang, Xue Gang, Zhou Yafu, and, by the way, Zhou Yafu had been captured by the Qin army.
Except for Zhou Yafu, any one of the above three people could annihilate the Japanese pirates in the shortest possible time without giving the Qin army a chance to react. However, they were all confronting the Qin army on the front line and could not lead the army to encircle and suppress the Japanese pirates.
Liu Che looked around at the generals of the dynasty and found that he could not find any generals to send. Even though he knew that this was because the generals were on the front line, he still felt a little disappointed.
"It seems I can only choose between Li Ling and Tian Yu." Liu Che thought to himself.
But at this moment, another spy suddenly came to report.
"Report...your majesty, General Xue Gang has returned from the front line to collect food supplies."
Upon hearing this, Liu Che's eyes suddenly lit up. The general who was encircling and suppressing the Japanese pirates was back.
"Send an order to Xue Gang to lead 30,000 new soldiers and 5,000 elite cavalry to Yuyang.
In addition, all three thousand soldiers of Yuyang County are under his command."
Liu Che's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he said with murderous intent: "I only have one request, and that is to kill all these Japanese pirates in the shortest possible time."
[Ding dong, Liu Che has assigned Xue Gang to lead the army, and the skill ‘Wu Xiong’ effect 3 is activated. If a general is assigned to lead the army, the general will have command 1, which partially improves the overall quality of the entire army.
Xue Gang’s basic commander is 97, his current commander is 1, and his commander has increased to 98.]
[Ding dong, Liu Che’s skill ‘Wu Xiong’ has an effect of 5. When the whole country is united, all generals will have a command of 2 and the entire army will have a force of 2 (note: the effect can be superimposed with other effects).
The Northern Han Dynasty was facing subjugation, and the whole country was united. All generals had a command of 2 and a force of 2, so Xue Gang's command increased to 100.
Xue Gang's basic strength is 102, his eight-point steel spear is 1, Youyun Khan's blood horse is 1, and his current strength has increased to 106.】
I have to say that Liu Che’s skill ‘Takeo’ is definitely the strongest among the auxiliary skills so far.
Before Liu Che went on a personal expedition and Effect 4 had not yet been activated, the two effects 3 and 5 alone increased Xue Gang's command by 3 points and force by 2 points, allowing Xue Gang to reach the level of Commander Po Bai and God of War at once.
degree.
Of course, although the amplification effect of 'Takeo' is strong, the triggering conditions are not easy. The triggering condition of effect 5, Nationwide Unity, may only be triggered when the country is destroyed, which also limits the overall strength of this skill.
After appointing Xue Gang as the commander-in-chief, Liu Che looked at Li Ling and other generals. After all, these four generals took the initiative to ask for a fight. If they were not allowed to fight, it would be a bit of a dampener on their enthusiasm.
After thinking for a while, Liu Che ordered again: "Li Ling, Xun She, Tian Yu, and Xian Yufu, the four of you will also join the army and follow General Xue Gang to exterminate the Japanese pirates as soon as possible."
At first, Li Ling and the other four generals were a little disappointed. After all, the lord did not choose any of them, but when they heard the appointment, they were overjoyed and said in unison: "No."
Liu Che also nodded when he saw this. With the general Xue Gang here, and the assistants of four young generals including Li Ling, plus 5,000 elites and 30,000 recruits, it was not easy to deal with nearly 5,000 Japanese pirates. In addition, he could also
Exercise the new recruits' combat effectiveness.
"By the way, issue an edict immediately to condemn Qin Hao."
A glint flashed in Liu Che's eyes, and he sneered: "Let's just say that Qin Hao did whatever it took to fight against our army. He even resorted to such despicable tactics as hiring foreigners and massacring the people of Yuyang."
As soon as these words came out, all the ministers of the Northern Han Dynasty looked at each other, obviously not understanding his Majesty's intention of doing this.
Zhang Tang stood up and said: "But Your Majesty, we have no real-time evidence to prove that these Japanese pirates were hired by Qin Hao."
Zhang Tang was a famous official in the Western Han Dynasty and a cruel official. He and Zhao Yu compiled legal works such as "Yue Palace Code" and "Chao Code". He advocated strict usage and often used the meaning of the Spring and Autumn Period to cover up, and used the emperor's will as the criterion for prison governance.
Zhang Tang, who was born in the Legalist family, has a sense of righteousness, so he also hopes that his protagonist will be upright and aboveboard, and not always use some underhanded tricks.
Liu Che knew what Zhang Tang meant, but he didn't take it seriously at all. He said calmly: "Although there is no way to prove that the Japanese pirates were hired by Qin Hao, Qin Hao can't prove that they were not hired by him. As long as he can't prove his innocence, then he can be cleared."
He is suspected of being an off-duty employee, and as long as there is this suspicion, it is enough for us to condemn him."
Zhang Tang couldn't help but be stunned, and then added: "But as far as I know, Jizhou and Qingbei were also attacked by Japanese pirates, and the losses were also considerable.
Qin Hao can't let the Japanese pirates plunder him just to deal with us, right?"
"Even if Qin Hao's subordinates also encountered Japanese pirates, it does not prove that Qin Hao did not hire Japanese pirates to plunder. Perhaps Qin Hao's enemies, such as Li Shimin and Liu Ji, also used the method of hiring Japanese pirates to deal with Qin Hao?"
Hearing this, Zhang Tang suddenly opened his mouth, and then stepped back with a wry smile. He was ashamed of his master's level of telling lies with open eyes.
nb, we are convinced!
In this way, after Liu Che sent troops to suppress the Japanese, he made the same decision as Zhu Di and Sun Jian, which was to shift the blame for hiring Japanese pirates to his enemy Qin Hao.
Although Liu Che himself knew that slandering Qin Hao at this time would not have any effect on the overall battle situation except to make Qin Hao sick, but what he wanted was to disgust Qin Hao.
The situation faced by the Northern Han Dynasty was too bad, and there was not much room for Liu Che to operate. Although framing Qin Hao was destined to have little effect, it was still better than doing nothing.
Moreover, in Liu Che's view, being able to disgust Qin Hao was a big deal in itself. How could he let him go if he finally encountered him?
A few days later.
"Report...to report to Your Majesty that the Manchu envoys are asking for an audience."
Liu Che frowned slightly, obviously not understanding why the Qing Dynasty sent an envoy at this time, so he said: "Proclaim it."
Soon, a young man who thought he was tall and elegant came in. It was hard to believe that he was a Manchu just by looking at his appearance. Even Liu Che almost thought he was a Han, but he was none other than the eighth prince Yinsu.
"Aixinjueluo Yinhu, please see your majesty." Yinhu smiled lightly and saluted.
