Chapter 410: Employing people is more ruthless than the emperor
"General Yang, you have made a great contribution this time."
Chen Changqing personally came out of the tent to greet him, as well as the commander-in-chief, deputy generals, etc., regardless of their official position, they all greeted Yang Xuan with their hands in their hands and praised him.
Yang Xuan quickly handed over his hand: "Your Majesty, the admiral has given me the reward. This is not my responsibility."
Chen Changqing laughed and grabbed Yang Xuan's arm: "General Yang is so humble. He led his troops deep into the grassland and built a city to defend the enemy for more than ten days. He sent the Durm cavalry to attack Huanglong and forced the enemy to retreat.
And when the Fucha troops came out in full force, he used ingenious tactics to defeat the enemy, annihilating tens of thousands of enemies in this battle, and retreated without hesitation after charging straight into Huanglong. General Yang is brave and resourceful, which is really admirable."
Yang Xuan scratched his head in embarrassment. He felt a little embarrassed when so many people complimented him. After all, most of these people had higher official and military ranks than him, and they were even older than him.
Faced with the adulation from so many big bosses, how could Yang Xuan not act like a young man?
However, this link soon passed. Chen Changqing said that he would hold a celebration banquet for himself in the evening. Of course, Yang Xuan readily accepted it. The next step was to discuss military matters.
Now that the Fucha tribe has withdrawn its troops and the Walas have retreated back to Jiayuguan, there are no enemies within a hundred miles of Wutoubao.
The enemy had withdrawn so cleanly that everyone thought that something was abnormal, so they did not dare to act rashly. After all, the troops were limited, and deploying too many troops would lead to an empty defense, and it would be useless if there were few people.
In short, so far, the scouts have seen no trace of the enemy for more than ten consecutive days.
It was obvious that everyone had discussed this matter many times, so after Chen Changqing finished speaking, everyone looked at Yang Xuan.
Yang Xuan pondered for a while and said: "That is to say, is there a possibility that there is something wrong within the Wala people?"
Chen Changqing, who squinted his eyes, had a smile on his face: "I have been waiting for many days of discussion and analysis to come to the conclusion, but you hit the nail on the head. You are really talented, but the news from over there hasn't been sent back for a while.
, we cannot act rashly."
"Why don't we send an army to explore the situation?" Yang Xuan said after considering, "If we guess correctly, we can still take advantage of it."
Chen Changqing laughed loudly and narrowed his eyes: "General Yang is really a natural-born general, and he coincides with us. Since General Yang proposed this clever plan, why not let General Yang personally lead the troops?"
?”
All the generals immediately started shouting: "This matter must be done by General Yang."
"Yes, yes, this credit belongs to General Yang, and no one else can."
"General Yang is brave and resourceful, and he will surely make great achievements here."
Yang Xuan was stunned. What was going on? Chen Changqing teamed up with a group of generals to set up a trap for me?
Why don't you just ask me to lead troops there? That's Jiayuguan. Will it work if I go there?
Those are the Wala people. There are at least ten or two hundred thousand soldiers outside Jiayuguan. If it is a trap, can I still get back?
Yang Xuan immediately objected: "I am new to the military and have little experience. How can I take on such a big responsibility? Besides, our troops and horses are still outside the pass, assisting with the defense and construction of the city with Commander Durm, and there is only one escort around me.
Moreover, the battle damage was serious and we have not yet recovered..."
He found several reasons at once, but Chen Changqing waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, I can transfer a guard and horse to you. They are all elite soldiers equipped with new weapons, so there will be no danger."
"As for his lack of experience, General Yang is humble. Regarding his previous achievements on the grassland, no one in the army is dissatisfied. This matter must be done by you."
Yang Xuan looked at Chen Changqing and thought that the old guy's squinted eyes really looked like an old fox. He found another excuse and said: "It is already late autumn and winter will begin in less than a month. I'm afraid it will be difficult to start a war."
, plus it’s freezing cold, I’m afraid I’ll have to come back in vain.”
Chen Changqing frowned, narrowed his eyes, and looked in the direction of Jiayuguan: "Before the spring of next year, our army will resist the enemy outside Jiayuguan."
Yang Xuan was stunned. Has this determined the mission target for the next quarter?
As a general, do I have KPI performance?
This Chen Changqing is even more ruthless than the emperor's servants.
When Yang Xuan was complaining crazily in his heart, Chen Changqing said with a smile: "General Yang is here to work hard, so you should go and rest first. By the way, there is an old friend waiting for you in Wutoubao. I'll give you three days off first. It's okay.
Meet old friends."
"Old friend?"
Yang Xuan was confused. Whoever came to me found this Wutoubao?
I don't think I owe anyone money.
Yang Xuan wanted to ask who it was, but when he saw the narrow-minded faces of the generals, he became even more confused. Chen Changqing even said bluntly: "Your old friend is in the inn. General Yang, you will know when you get there."
Okay, let’s go and talk about it later.
Leave the camp, enter Wutoupu, and go straight to the inn.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a graceful woman standing there.
Yang Xuan recognized Guan Yunrong without the other party turning around, and stepped forward in shock: "Why are you here?"
When Guan Yunrong heard Yang Xuan's voice, her delicate body trembled, and she suddenly turned around and took a step forward. However, she immediately returned to her normal state, walked closer slowly, and showed a refreshing smile: "Why can't I come?"
Yang Xuan was speechless, and then said: "It's not that you can't come, this is the front line, and it's too dangerous for you, a weak woman, to come here."
"What's so dangerous about this?" Guan Yunrong walked to a table nearby and sat down. A postman had already come forward to serve tea. Guan Yunrong slid her fingers over the edge of the tea bowl and said slowly: "I came to discuss business with the Admiral this time.
.”
"Negotiating a business deal with the Admiral?" Yang Xuan was a little confused. The Admiral only dealt with military affairs and never asked about financial matters. Can Guan Yunrong negotiate a business deal with him?
But he suddenly realized: "Do you want to sell woolen sweaters to the military camp?"
Guan Yunrong blinked: "Exactly."
"I have convinced the admiral. I thought I would submit a request for purchase, but the admiral said that the war is urgent and I can't wait for the court to reply. I will simply let you, the person in charge of the Shaanzhou branch of Shengfa Company, do the purchasing."
Looking at Guan Yunrong with an affectionate look on his face, Yang Xuan nodded: "It's easy to talk about, but you don't need to go there in person. This is the front line, and even in the rear there are Oras scouts and cavalry. Wouldn't it be dangerous if we encounter them?
.”
Guan Yunrong rolled her eyes: "Are you worried about me?"
"Of course, I'm not worried about you. Who are you worried about?"
"Humph." Guan Yunrong frowned: "Since you left Tumubao, you only sent me a letter when you returned to Yingtian Mansion. You didn't even tell me that you were sent to the border by the imperial court.
.”
"I'm not afraid that you will worry..."
"Huh?" Guan Yunrong interrupted Yang Xuan: "When did you become so good at talking? Do you have a new love?"
Yang Xuan rolled his eyes: "What are you thinking about every day?"
Guan Yunrong looked resentful: "In addition to thinking about you, what else can I think about? As soon as I heard that you were coming to the border, I rushed here non-stop, just to give you some clothes to keep out the cold."
Seeing Guan Yunrong's pitiful appearance, Yang Xuan shouted that he couldn't bear it. It was the most difficult thing to bear the kindness of a beauty. He now understood it deeply.
