There are no generals in the army, and Lin San is the vanguard? These words suddenly popped up in Lin Wanrong's mind, and she immediately felt very unhappy. Damn, what am I thinking? Is that Liao Hua more handsome than me? Does he know how to pick up girls? I'm much better than him.
"This, Marshal Xu, I don't think it's a good idea. I have little talent and little knowledge, and I haven't fought many battles. Other than my looks, I really can't say anything else. I think it's better to let someone else be the vanguard on the right flank. I'll just be a staff officer. " Lin Wanrong said modestly.
Xu Wei smiled but didn't say anything. Instead, Zuo Zongyou spoke, "Sigh, Brother Lin, don't be so modest. As the saying goes, age does not determine one's ambitions. Although you've just joined the army, you fought the first battle beautifully, and you even killed Meng Dou. Who can compare to your contributions? What do you mean by little talent and little knowledge? It's clearly your intelligence against an army of a thousand. Those bastards from the White Lotus Sect will probably tremble at the mention of Brother Lin's name. If you don't be the commander of the right flank, who else can? "
Cough, cough. Lin Wanrong faked a couple of coughs. This Zuo Zongyou was also someone who knew how to flatter him. These words made him feel good. Xu Wei smiled and said, "General Zuo's words are exactly what I was thinking. Brother Lin, in terms of achievements and loyalty, no one can compare to you. The vanguard on the right flank is yours. "
Sigh, I've always been so humble, but this Old Xu is forcing me to do something beyond my abilities. Isn't he trying to make me attract jealousy? General Lin shook his head helplessly and said, "If that's the case, I can only obey. I'm still young, and I don't have much experience in leading troops. I hope that the generals will take care of me in the future. I will be eternally grateful. "
"Good, then it's settled." Xu Wei laughed and said, "Generals, listen up!"
"Yes, General!"
"After breakfast today, the army will set out and attack Ji Ning in three days. Whoever takes Ji Ning first, I will ask His Majesty for the greatest merit!"
"Roger!"
After retreating from the camp, Xu Wei only left Lin Wanrong behind. He smiled and said, "Brother Lin, I'll leave the right army in your hands. This old man will await the news of your triumphant return. "
Lin Wanrong forced a smile and said, "Mr. Xu, you already have a plan. You deceived me to be some General Staff Officer, but it turns out that you want me to lead troops to war. This kind of hard work is really too difficult for me. "
Hard work? The position of General of the Right Route is a position that many people yearn for but can't get. You brat, you're still pretending to be obedient after getting such an advantage. Xu Wei felt very indignant in his heart. He shook his head and said, "What is Little Brother saying? The reason I invited you here was to ask you to lend me a hand. I sent you to Chuzhou to lead the remaining troops so that you could gain some experience. It's just that I didn't expect so many things to happen in the middle, and I didn't expect little brother to be so powerful that you could annihilate thousands of Meng Dou's men. With just this one battle, you are already the number one hero of my army of hundreds of thousands, the number one warrior. "
The number one hero and the number one warrior? I'm ashamed. If I didn't have a gun, I'm afraid that I and my brothers would have died in this battle. Speaking of which, I have to thank my good wife, Qing Xuan.
"I'm afraid you still don't know. The story of you rushing to the crown to save your brother has already spread throughout the army. Everyone praises you for your ability to lead troops and love your soldiers like your own children. Now, your reputation is so high that no one can compare to you. If I didn't let you be the vanguard general, I'm afraid that tens of thousands of soldiers would not spare me. Naturally, I have to know how to use people well. "
"Well, reputation and fighting are two completely different things. I won't hide it from you, Mr. Xu. My so-called ability to predict the enemy's movements was obtained by accident. I'm afraid that Mr. Xu's plan will be ruined! "Lin Wanrong said modestly.
Xu Wei laughed heartily. "Opportunities never favor the unprepared. Little brother Lin, as long as you can win the battle, who cares if it's by accident? As long as you have the means, you are a hero."
Lin Wanrong shook his head helplessly. This matter was getting more and more out of hand. Back when he was a servant of the Xiao Family, he had so much freedom. Now that he was in the army, even though he had gained many hot-blooded brothers, he had gained more shackles that shackled him. Grand Mistress, I miss the Xiao Family so much. I miss you so much. Lin San looked up to the sky and sighed.
Xu Wei seemed to have seen through his thoughts and said seriously, "Little brother, to be honest, I pulled you into the army for two reasons. First, it's because there are advisors in the army. Second, it's for your own good. You're a servant in the Xiao Family. Although you have freedom, you're always involved in trifling matters, hanging around with Lady Xiao, Miss Lo, and Qiaoqiao. You have no ambition and are a joke to outsiders. "
Damn, I'm not hanging around. That's called socializing. Hooking up with good girls is just a byproduct.
"You're talented and quick-witted. If you spend all your time in the Spring Examinations, I'm afraid that after a long time, even your initiative will be worn away. Our China's men are heroes in life and heroes in death. This old man can't bear to see little brother waste his time like this. That's why I've spent so much effort to invite you to help me in the army. "Xu Wei tried his best to speak, but Little brother Lin's face was expressionless, as if he wasn't listening at all.
This little brother was too unique. Xu Wei sighed inwardly. "Actually, I have another reason for inviting you to the army. If you temper yourself in the army for a while and take control of the army, you'll be of great help when you and Lady Xiao enter the capital in a few days. "
What 'heroes in life and heroes in death'? I'm not that noble, but it'll be of help when entering the capital. This reason barely makes sense. But no matter what, this Xu Wei was thinking for his sake and didn't have any ill intentions towards him.
Lin Wanrong nodded. "If that's the case, then this little brother really has to thank Mister Xu. But let's make this clear first. Next time, you can't promote me anymore. I have a phobia of being a high-ranking official. "
Xu Wei thought to himself, "Can you still promote me? You're already the vanguard of the right. If you get promoted again, then you'll be the commander-in-chief."
"That's right, Mister Xu, I still have to thank you for delivering the letter yesterday." Lin Wanrong said with a smile that didn't reach his eyes. He wanted nothing more than to give this Old Xu a good beating. Dammit, you're not in a hurry for proper business, but you're so enthusiastic about messing around. When I go back, who knows what kind of torture I'll have to endure?
"Brother Lin has done such a great service, so it's only natural for this old man to do some small things for you. That letter was personally delivered by Chief Gao a few days ago. In order to deliver this letter, Lady Xiao first went to find Luo Ning, but she didn't know where we went. Later, Lady Xiao went to find Lomin and begged him to deliver this letter to me. You also know that our whereabouts are absolutely confidential. Other than Lomin, his two children don't know. But that Lady Xiao begged us every day with a sad expression. Lomin couldn't do anything about it, so he could only send Chief Gao to deliver this letter. "Xu Wei sighed.
So that was how the letter came about. Xiao Yuruo, this girl, usually liked to put on a cold face, but at critical moments, she was very loyal. She originally had prejudice against Luo Ning, but because of this matter, she put down her pride to beg Luo Ning, and then Lomin. Thinking about the Grand Mistress's thin face, thinking about the contents of the letter, Lin Wanrong suddenly felt a little touched. If he knew this would happen, he would have written a long and voluminous letter yesterday. Who knew that in a moment of excitement, he would come up with such a ridiculous thing. Regret, he really regretted it.
"Little Brother Lin, you're very affectionate towards the Xiao Family, and Lady Xiao is also very affectionate towards you. This old man is very envious. Don't let her down. "Xu Wei said with a smile.
Let her down? Who have I let down before? When I go back, I won't quarrel with the Grand Mistress anymore. I'll talk to her properly and repay her for her care.
When Lin Wanrong walked out of the tent, there were already many people surrounding him to congratulate him. Du Xiuyuan and the others naturally didn't need to mention him. Even the few Qianhu who were originally under Di Canghai also came over to pay their respects. Right now, they had all been transferred to General Lin's tent at the right vanguard. In addition, they had personally witnessed General Lin's bravery and loyalty yesterday.
This time, Xu Wei did not lie. The five thousand infantry and cavalry soldiers assigned to Lin Wanrong were all elite soldiers, and could not be compared to the provisions soldiers from before. Lin Wanrong and Du Xiuyuan placed the original brothers in the army into the hundred-man formation to pass on General Lin's orders and spirit.
The story of General Lin defeating Meng Du and beating up Di Canghai had already spread throughout the camp. Then, the soldiers who had been through actual battles spread the news to the other troops. The tens of thousands of soldiers immediately worshipped General Lin, and the reputation of the Right Vanguard, General Lin, reached its peak.
Du Xiuyuan, Hu Bugui, Saint Li, and the others were all promoted to Qianhu, and General Lin was promoted to Right Vanguard General. This made them even more excited, and their enthusiasm for training soared. They were determined to train the soldiers under them into elite soldiers who could fight against ten.
Before commanding the troops, Lin Wanrong had thought of one day commanding tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but when the day really came, he no longer had the mood. Looking at the tens of thousands of soldiers with shining weapons and strict military discipline, and thinking of the bloody battle that night, Lin Wanrong said sternly to the few Qianhu subordinates, "The art of training soldiers must not be lazy. You must strictly implement the elimination method. I don't want to see a repeat of the Battle of Pei County. "
Hu Bugui and the others nodded in agreement. Several generals of the cavalry camp had personally seen the tragic state of the soldiers who died that night, and also deeply agreed with this idea of training elite soldiers.
Looking at the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses training, the sound of swords and spears on the drill ground, and the billowing dust, Lin Wanrong couldn't help but sing, "Back then, when my troops first opened, there were hundreds of people and dozens of spears — —" Gao Qiu followed behind him, goosebumps all over his body.
Xu Wei gave the order to conquer Jining three days later. The armies from the north and south marched side by side, carrying out the tactic of compressing the enemy, forcing the elites of the White Lotus Army into a dead end. They had no choice but to retreat to Jining.
The Right Vanguard army led by Lin Wanrong adhered to General Lin's consistent principle, to train strong soldiers, to be happy soldiers, to train soldiers in the morning and night, and to travel during the day, they were also very carefree.
It was just that the closer they got to Jining, the more uneasy Lin Wanrong's heart became. The battle had been going on for a few days, and the news from the Left Vanguard army and the Central Vanguard army was that the White Lotus army had been defeated, and had long gone into hiding in Jining City. But no matter how he inquired, he did not hear any news of Xian 'er. Could it be that she was still in Jining City? This is troublesome.
