The first thousand one hundred and seventy-ninth chapters lead the three armies
"Your Majesty, this is just my guess. Caohai's army may not come to Zhuozhou by boat. It goes too far into the hinterland, and the supply of food and grass is not easy. It is an isolated army. If you are not careful, there will be the danger of the entire army being annihilated."
"Even so, we still have to be careful." Emperor Wanlong said sadly.
Li Luo glanced around at the ministers in the palace and said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, gentlemen, we have a discussion in the Xuan Tower."
Emperor Wanlong's eyes lit up and he shouted quickly: "Xuanlou, please tell me!"
"Choose a general to lead his army north along Qinzhou Yinzhou to contain the Caohai enemy army entrenched in Bantian Prefecture, and to coordinate with the Dingbei army in Jianbei City, be sure to trap the Caohai army in Yeliang Prefecture; secondly, send another general
He led the army from Zhezhou into Beifu, went north along the Zhejiang River, and guarded against the enemy troops from Caohai going south along the river. He also joined forces with the Dingbei army from various areas in Youzhou, and guarded against the soldiers from Caohai crossing the Zhejiang River and attacking several other states in Beifu.
thirdly, the Kunjiang naval fleet was ordered to guard Zhezhen. In addition to guarding against Caohai's army going south, a supply of grain and grass was transported northward by waterway. Although the Caohai tribes used naval warfare methods this time, their troops achieved miraculous results.
, but it is a fact that the Caohai tribes are not good at water warfare. At the beginning, they took advantage of their superior military strength and the Dagan defenders were caught off guard, and they were still able to achieve success in one battle. If they remained on the Zhejiang River, the Caohai coalition forces would undoubtedly be defeated. The Caohai tribes were absolutely defeated.
We will not use our own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strong points. If the Dagan soldiers can blockade the Zhejiang River, the Caohai tribes will have no other choice but to go south along Yeliang Prefecture. Therefore, this group led the army north from Zhezhou this time.
A large army is no small matter, so we must be careful."
Most of the capable generals in the court are under the command of Dingbei Army and Mu Tianlang. The remaining ones are many brave and good at fighting. However, the pearls are covered with dust. At this moment, the Dagan court is looking for a leader who can reassure Emperor Wanlong and the ministers.
It is really not easy for a general to be a general. Di Jie is one of them, but he is too old. He is good at guarding the rear, but he is no longer capable of charging into battle.
Li Luo didn't say it clearly, but looking at the current situation, apart from Li Luo, who led an army from Qinzhou to Yinzhou to rescue the siege, he probably couldn't find anyone else. Although the remaining leaders of this large army with heavy responsibilities, the ministers all took their own actions.
However, no one dared to play with Dagan's country and the safety of Emperor Wanlong, and no one recommended it lightly.
"Xuanlou's proposal is very good. What do you dear ladies think?"
The ministers discussed a few words, and they all nodded and agreed. There was nothing wrong with Li Luo's words. Of course it was good for someone to take the lead. If Beifu couldn't defend it, there would naturally be someone to support it. Why not?
.
"Then, dear friends, do you have any candidates for this leading general?"
The ministers were whispering to each other. Something happened suddenly. They had to select generals and send troops in a hurry. It was indeed a bit hasty. However, there was not much time for the ministers to make a fuss. If Zhuocheng was delayed for one day, he still didn't know what kind of changes would happen in Yeliang Prefecture.
.
Di Jie coughed lightly and said: "I'd like to inform you, Your Majesty, that I think King Dingtian can lead the three armies and send out a large army from Qinzhou and Yinzhou, as well as the army that goes north along the Zhejiang River, and the naval forces on the Zhejiang River from Kunjiang River."
It will be led by the prince alone."
Without waiting for the ministers to say anything, Emperor Wanlong waved his hand and said: "I have already had this intention. All the armies going north this time will be controlled by Xuanlou. There is no need to discuss this matter again."
"His Majesty, the situation in the Western Mansion is unstable and the countries in the Western Region are ready to take action. Will His Highness Ninth Prince be unable to do anything at all and end up causing trouble?" Sima Gu Lianying asked cautiously.
Emperor Wanlong glanced at Li Luo, and in his heart he really wanted to leave all these matters to Li Luo. However, Gu Lianying was right when he said that he had no skills at all. If he managed to cope with it, he might end up in vain.
"Xuanlou, what do you think?"
Li Luo said calmly: "The war in Xifu is nothing to worry about."
Emperor Wanlong was startled, and everyone in the palace also looked at him with suspicion. Such a proud and arrogant King Dingtian, if it were any minister in the court, no one would dare to say this. Di Jie thought thoughtfully
He glanced at Li Luo carefully, and it seemed that the situation in the Western Region was not as dangerous as the secret letter received by Zhongshu Ling. There might be something fishy about the so-called alliance of countries.
Emperor Wanlong was overjoyed and had no time to judge whether what Li Luo said was overestimating his own capabilities. He shouted loudly: "Great, then the war in Beifu will all depend on Xuanlou."
Li Luo bowed respectfully and did not refuse. No one in the palace refuted any objections, so it was settled. This situation really made all the veterans have mixed feelings. Once upon a time, the dignified Da Gan had no other available generals except King Dingtian. It was really a shame.
People were sighing. Shaobao Ying Guanqi wanted to recommend a good general under his command, but after thinking about it, he sighed secretly and said nothing. Regardless of his qualifications or prestige, Li Luo was the best choice.
The commander has been decided, and the rest of the navy has been unified with the commander of the other army. The naval commanders and ministers recommended Sima Gu Lianying. Although Gu Lianying was a civilian, he was also familiar with martial arts and was good at military skills.
He has a reputation for intelligence and planning, and he also holds an important position in charge of military affairs and military contributions. It is most appropriate to be at the rear and arrange food, grass, pay and money, so there is no objection.
Gu Lianying was born in a Dagan family, and the family had inextricable connections with the Dagan court. There was no need to worry about defecting to the enemy and treason. Seeing Gu Lianying receiving orders in danger, Li Luo felt sad. If his uncle had nothing to worry about at this time,
If you are still there, you will feel a little more at ease in your heart.
As for leading the army north along the Zhejiang River, Li Luo originally chose Yuan Jun, the general of Yimu Tianlang. Yuan Jun was both civil and military and could be used for great purposes. However, before Li Luo could invite Emperor Wanlong, he saw Tai Fu Ling Shutong.
He was anxious to recommend someone, and he did not shy away from relatives. The recommended person was Ling Gumian, the adopted son of Taifu.
Li Luo was shocked and frowned slightly. There was Ling Yiyi between him and Ling Gumian who made Li Luo feel guilty. Ling Gumian had such a talented character. Li Luo had indeed never paid attention to Ling Gumian. He probably just felt that Ling Gumian
He is a wealthy young man with extraordinary martial arts skills and considerable wealth.
At this moment, when he arrived at the court, Li Luo realized that he had thought wrong. To be fair, he seemed to have underestimated this Taifu adopted son. After Ling Shutong recommended him, many people praised him in public. Even Di Jie had nothing to say, and so did Emperor Wanlong.
He nodded repeatedly, seeming to trust this Tutor's adopted son. In short, he seemed to be the one who was expected by everyone.
Emperor Wanlong asked Li Luo, Li Luo couldn't say anything more at this point. If people are appointed based on nepotism, the ministers in the court will naturally be dissatisfied. If they act in a prejudicial manner, it will be more detrimental than gain. Let's first see if this general of the Forbidden Army is
He really has the talent of a general. Moreover, Yanchenzhou and Youzhou also have the deputy commander of the Dingbei Army Yuan Zhen and his army of more than 300,000 men. Even if Ling Gumian is not strong enough, Yuan Zhen can still deal with the Caohai Cavalry.
.
Li Luo respectfully accepted the order and agreed to the Taifu's proposal. However, it was Ling Gumian's first time to lead the army in battle. Li Luo might not be familiar with military affairs and miss the opportunity to fight.
