The fifth thousand four hundred and sixteenth chapter secret decree
After a period of silence, Lu Huaizhong forced himself to remain calm and issued the last order.
"Everyone should go back to their respective camps and prepare for the handover. After I leave, please remember to follow General Hong's orders and not cause trouble."
"Yes!" Several trusted generals reluctantly agreed.
"It's already late today. The general will leave with me tomorrow. General Hong still needs to cross the border. General Mian, you have been here for a short time. I and a few guards will rest here for you."
"Don't worry, Lord Steward. Although the conditions at Ziwu Pass are a little worse, I will definitely let you have a good rest to relieve the fatigue along the way." Lin Haoming agreed with a smile.
When Lu Huaizhong heard this, he immediately realized something, and Lin Haoming walked out without caring about what the other party guessed.
"I have met the steward several times before, but I still don't know your surname." After Lin Haoming walked out, he immediately greeted with a smile.
"General Mian, please don't be polite to me. The general and my adoptive father are good friends. I have followed my adoptive father since I was a child, and I also have my adoptive father's surname."
"It turns out it's Tao who's in charge."
"General Mian, Your Majesty has a secret edict for you. I will only give it to the general. The secret edict can be produced when necessary." Steward Tao said as he took out an imperial edict from his arms and handed it to Lin Haoming.
Lin Haoming understood that Yang Kangkai was a little anxious when he realized that the occupation was not going well. He regretted not giving him the authority before, so he took this opportunity to replace Lu Huaizhong.
After they were settled, Lin Haoming took out the secret decree, and sure enough, Yang Kangkai granted him the power he originally wanted, and even offered to abandon Ziwu Pass if necessary.
Ziwu Pass is now considered an isolated city. It defends Yelang Mountain and the Northern God Kingdom cannot save it. Ziwu Pass is surrounded. Even if it cannot be invaded for a while, it can still use its superior force to encircle the point and provide reinforcements, which will continue to consume the national power of the Southern God Kingdom. So now
The situation is very clear and cannot be defended at all.
Of course, if you retreat rashly, you will be under great pressure. Even Yang Kangkai would not dare to give up directly. In this case, he will be dealt with a hot potato.
Without waiting to spend the night, Lin Haoming arrived at Hong Chenyi's side in the middle of the night and took out the secret decree.
When Hong Chenyi saw the secret decree, he suddenly became excited. He grabbed Lin Haoming's arm and said, "Brother Mian, what you were waiting for has really arrived. Can you tell me what to do next?"
"If this authorization had been given to me earlier, how could we be in the current situation? The opponent's strength is more than double ours, and these are the people who have gone out to guard Yelang Mountain. We are outnumbered, and the enemy does not want to improvise before, but spends a
They were not only organized and trained in winter, the situation is completely different from the original situation, and that Gu Licai is not a simple person." Lin Haoming indicated.
"Then what should we do?" Hong Chenyi asked.
"There is only one way." Lin Haoming said.
"What method?" Hong Chenyi asked curiously.
"Abandon Ziwu Pass."
"Brother Mian, although the imperial edict can be given up when necessary, but really giving up..." Hong Chenyi was not a fool, and he immediately hesitated.
"So, there are different ways to give up. It is definitely not possible to withdraw directly, but it will be different if we can win the battle or make the opponent suffer." Lin Haoming said with a smile.
"What should I do?" Hong Chenyi asked.
Lin Haoming smiled and pointed at the map and started talking.
Early the next morning, Lu Huaizhong left with Manager Tao. He had been at Ziwu Pass for many years, and many generals wanted to see him off. However, at this time, Hong Chenyi deliberately recruited everyone for a meeting early in the morning, which made many people a little annoyed.
It's intentional.
Now Hong Chenyi is sitting on the commander's seat in the council hall. There are many generals sitting beside him, but there are still some people who have not arrived. Everyone knows why they have not arrived.
When the sun was high, Lin Haoming saw Xiao Sheng and several generals coming over.
Hong Chenyi was not angry, nor did he blame them. He just pointed at the map and said: "The scouts reported last night that Gu Licai did indeed lead the army towards Ziwu Pass. It can be reached in three days at most. If it is quick, it will be the day after tomorrow.
arrive."
"How does Governor Hong plan to respond?" Xiao Sheng asked.
"Standing firm is not an option. General Mian already has a strategy to meet the enemy." Hong Chenyi signaled.
Hearing this, many people were a little surprised. They had a countermeasure just one night?
Lin Haoming looked at the crowd, pointed directly at the map and said: "Right now, the enemy is strong and I am weak. The right time, place, people, and people are not on our side. To defeat the enemy, we must win by surprise."
"General Xiao, you have been at Ziwu Pass for many years and are most familiar with the terrain here, so whether you can defeat the enemy this time is up to you." Lin Haoming said.
"Me?" Xiao Sheng was originally worried that after he came back, he would be criticized by the new official Hong Chenyi, but he didn't expect that he would have to take over the important task, which caught him off guard for a while.
"What? If you think you can't do it, you can change someone else." Lin Haoming said directly.
"If we can really defeat the enemy, I will naturally be willing to do so." Xiao Sheng immediately expressed his intention to Lin Haoming and Hong Chenyi.
"Okay, in that case, you can lead 50,000 troops tomorrow and pretend to be an ambush to meet the enemy," Lin Haoming said.
"What? This is your plan, to let me and the soldiers die." Upon hearing this, Xiao Sheng, who was already vigilant, became furious.
Hong Chenyi immediately said with a cold face: "Xiao Sheng, this is your attitude. Soldiers regard obedience as their bounden duty."
"But I won't fight a fight to the death." Xiao Sheng said angrily.
Lin Haoming deliberately sneered at this time and said: "Lu Huaizhong is a stubborn old man. He doesn't know how to adapt. He will just keep shrinking and be at the mercy of others. You are the same."
"Mian Zhizhuang, how dare you humiliate me even though you are a child with a yellow mouth?" Xiao Sheng became furious when he heard this. He could tell that this was Hong Chenyi and Mian Zhizhuang's plan to exclude him. If he didn't want to, then he would
To hand over military power is simply a conspiracy.
Lin Haoming sneered: "The general can take Tianzhu City, can you?"
"Who knows whether you won Tianzhu City or it was thanks to Prince Yang." Xiao Sheng said bluntly.
Seeing them like this, Lin Haoming followed: "Since General Xiao is not willing, then please hand over your military power to someone who is willing."
"Mian Zhizhuang, why don't I give you my military power and you are willing to go out of the city to meet the enemy? If you are willing, I will give it to you. Otherwise, don't use any excuse to take away my military power." Xiao Sheng shouted loudly.
"Yes, General Xiao said it politely." As soon as he said this, many people also agreed.
Lin Haoming just smiled and said: "Of course I dare, Xiao Sheng, if you hand over the military power now, I will lead the troops out today without tomorrow."
"Are you telling the truth?" Xiao Sheng was a little surprised.
"Am I still making fun of you in front of so many people?" Lin Haoming asked.
"Okay, if you really lead the troops to ambush the enemy, I will hand over the power. But if you are fake, don't blame me for being rude. I'm afraid you won't be able to command by then." Xiao Sheng threatened directly.
