Drive him out of the tent? Who is Miss Xu talking about? Lin Wanrong looked around and saw that everyone's eyes were on him. Some were sympathetic, some were gloating, and some were looking at him. The young general in his thirties looked at Lin Wanrong with a faint smile.
"That, Miss Xu, are you talking about me?" Lin Wanrong laughed and didn't take it seriously.
Xu Zhi Qing's eyelids drooped as she said lightly, "Marshal, the people in this tent are all the commanders of the Hu Resistance Army. All of them are trustworthy, except for this newcomer. He doesn't wear a sword or armor, so he doesn't have a real position in our army. Right now, we are discussing our plan to fight against the enemy. In order to keep it a secret, we should ask the irrelevant people to leave. "
Miss Xu's big hat really made Lin Wanrong speechless. Right now, he only has a position in the court. Although he has prestige in the army, he doesn't have a real position. It's not wrong to say that he is irrelevant.
Li Tai laughed twice: "I understand what Zhi 'er means. A talent like Lin San can't even be invited, so how can he be idle? I have already asked the emperor for an imperial edict to appoint him as the right vanguard of our army. He will be in charge of the three camps, Bi, Qi, and Shen Ji, totaling more than 60,000 people. Does anyone have any objection? "
When Li Tai's words came out, the generals in the tent were somewhat surprised. It was true that Lin San won the war in Shandong, but how can the White Lotus Sect be compared to the fierce Turks? Lin San may have a way to suppress bandits, but he has no experience in fighting against the Hu people. Is it appropriate to give him the position of the right vanguard?
"Marshal, I think this move needs to be discussed." The young general hesitated for a moment, then slowly said: "Although Lin Daren has a good reputation and made great achievements in Shandong, the Hu people are not the White Lotus Sect. They are cruel and cunning compared to the White Lotus Sect. The right side is the sharp blade of our army. If we advance, we must open up and if we retreat, we must defend. We must have a thorough understanding of the Hu people's tactics. In this aspect, Sir Lin still lacked experience. Zongcai thinks that we should first invite Lin Daren to be the Deputy Staff Officer of the Right Path Vanguard Officer. In the future, when there are military merits, it won't be too late to promote him. "
The young general's words were reasonable. Lin San had led an army to exterminate White Lotus. In the eyes of outsiders, it was a great achievement, but in the eyes of these frontier generals who had fought with the Hu for many years, it was not worth mentioning.
Hearing this, Lin Wanrong vomited blood. Last time in Shandong, Xu Wei asked me to be a General Staff Officer. This time it's even better, this old fellow wants to add the word 'Deputy' in front of my name. As the saying goes, if a staff officer doesn't lead a team, he won't even fart. I don't care if I'm the Vanguard of the Right Path, but don't think that I, Lin, am here for nothing. Fortunately, he was free and easy by nature and was used to people rolling their eyes at him. He chuckled and didn't mind.
Lin San's experience was indeed difficult to convince the masses. Most of the generals in the tent agreed with this General Zong Cai's opinion. Li Tai looked at a red-faced burly man to his left and said, "Zuoqiu. You are the Commander-in-Chief of the Left Path Army. Speak. "
This Zuoqiu was tall and sturdy, around forty years old. He was mature and experienced. Hearing Li Tai call out his name, he firmly cupped his fists and said, "This general has followed Marshal for many years. Marshal's foresight has never been wrong. Brother Lin must have true ability to make Marshal think so highly of you. However, Old Brother Zong Cai's words are reasonable. Brother Lin is still young, but you are already the Commander-in-Chief of the Right Path. If you don't show some true ability, not only will you be looked down upon by your brothers and make things difficult for Marshal, even Brother Lin himself will not feel at ease. It will be hard for you to fight a good battle. In the army, there is no use in saying anything. What matters is true ability. I am an impulsive person and speak frankly. I hope Brother Lin won't take offense. "He cupped his fists towards Lin Wanrong, his expression very cheerful.
This Zuoqiu was a straightforward person and spoke frankly. Lin Wanrong was good at scheming. He liked people like Zuoqiu from the bottom of his heart. Lin Wanrong pulled him and laughed: "What is Zuo Dage talking about? What do you mean I won't take offense? Since I'm standing here, I'm entrusting my life to all of you. If I'm choked by Brother Zuo's honest words, I don't need you to say anything. I'll f * cking piss and drown myself. "
This person was very cunning. He said whatever he wanted to say. Xu Zhiqing's pretty face blushed as she secretly cursed inside her heart.
Everyone burst into laughter. Even though these words were vulgar, it suited the appetite of the generals. The army was depressed, and vulgar words were the spice for the soldiers. Seeing that the new General Lin was so understanding, everyone's estrangement with him gradually disappeared, and they felt a sense of closeness.
Li Tai laughed for a while, then said to Xu Zhiqing: "Zhi 'er, you are the brain of my army. What do you think about the right road commander?"
Miss Xu raised her eyebrows and glanced at Lin Wanrong. "This newcomer is indeed lacking in experience when it comes to fighting the barbarians. However, I've also heard that he has quite a few tricks up his sleeves. Right now, the army is about to set off, but the right road's vanguard has not been decided. Where can we find such a candidate? Why don't we make do and order him to — — "
"Marshal, Miss Xu," The General named Yu Zongcai suddenly changed his expression and interrupted Xu Zhiqing's words: "General Yu Zongcai is willing to lead the right road's army to fight against the enemy. I ask Marshal and Miss Xu's permission."
Xu Zhiqing softly sighed and glanced at Lin San, but she didn't speak.
After a long time, Lin Wanrong finally understood. It turned out that this General named Yu Zongcai has a lofty goal. He wants to pull Lin San to be the right road's commander. Looking at this General Yu, he is young, full of heroic spirit, and has a dignified appearance. He doesn't know his ability, but he doesn't want to be an embroidered pillow. Lin Wanrong smiled. Although they were talking about his appointment, his mind was the most relaxed. Because his hope was not high.
Li Tai has been in the army for a lifetime, so he knows that the people don't like Lin San. Although he can use his prestige to force the appointment, it will be unfair to the people and Lin San.
"Zongcai, you come from a family of generals, and you are also the left road's deputy commander. You are excellent in martial arts and military strategy. This marshal has indeed considered you for the right road's vanguard." Li Tai nodded his head and smiled. He turned to Lin Wanrong and said, "As for Lin San, he leads his troops well and is loyal to the three armies. His mind is even more agile and he has always been a schemer. The two of you have your own strong points and have given me a hard time."
He pondered for a long time. Then, he smiled at Xu Zhiqing and said: "If that's the case, Zhi 'er, you can test the two of them. Let the people in the tent judge. Whoever answers the best will be the right road's vanguard."
This method was good. They will compete based on their real ability, and everyone will judge. It was fair and just. The generals nodded their head in agreement.
"I don't want it." Lin Wanrong smiled modestly and said: "I am not good at leading troops to war. I never thought about being the right road's vanguard. When I was in Shandong, I only led the army's provisions. This time, I will be satisfied if you give me a few army's provisions. "
Everyone burst into laughter. However, there were a few who were more attentive. They only said that it was easy for Third Master Lin to defeat the White Lotus Cult, but they did not think that he had won with the old, weak, and crippled soldiers who were escorting the rations. Such a great victory was extraordinary. Seemingly unintentional words, but it reminded everyone. Zuo Qiu looked at him with an appreciative look.
"What's there to refuse? If you don't have self-confidence, how can you let others trust you with their lives?" Xu Zhiqing slightly snorted. No one knows who she was talking to. Li Tai swept his eyes to her. Xu Zhiqing busily lowered her head. Her face looked dizzy.
"Zhi 'er, have you thought of a way?" Li Tai smiled and asked.
Miss Xu pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded her head: "It's not a way to think about it. It's just that I have some doubts in the battlefield. I want to discuss it with the generals. Marshal, Yu Dage, brothers, and the new general, please come with me. "
"The new general"?! What kind of name is this?! Lin Wanrong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This little girl, Xu Zhiqing, is deliberately making things difficult for me.
Seeing him sullenly walking behind the crowd, Li Tai took a few steps behind and patted his shoulder: "Lin San, what happened to Zhi 'er? When you went to Shandong, didn't you get along well? "
"Old General, you can't talk nonsense. I have a wife-" Lin Wanrong smiled.
Li Tai was furious. He patted his head and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? What does it have to do with Zhi 'er whether you have a wife or not? I'm telling you, she is my daughter. If you dare to bully her, I will be promoted to the Marshal Battalion and kill you. "
This old man had white hair, but he was not angry. His face has been engraved with countless wind and frost. But, he always has a stubborn and unyielding spirit. Such a loyal and upright man was the backbone of Da Hua. Lin Wanrong respected him from the bottom of her heart, but after being hit twice by him, she felt a sense of closeness. "Old General, there's something I want to discuss with you, about Li Wuling …"
"This kid, he asked you to be a lobbyist?" Li Tai smiled helplessly. But, his eyes were full of expectation and pride.
"I'm not a lobbyist." Lin Wanrong said with a serious look: "I'm just thinking, what kind of Li Wuling we all want to see? A Taiping Marquis, or a famous general? Old General, have you ever thought about it? "
Li Tai's eyes flashed, this sentence seems to have hit the bottom of his heart. He was silent for a long time, then said with a wry smile: "This kid really knows how to pick a person. You can be said to be unparalleled in the world. As long as you can convince Zhi 'er, you can let him go. I can't control him anymore. "
Li Tai slowly took a few steps forward, then suddenly stopped. His face suddenly became old: "Lin San, you must train him. Even if you die, you must not disgrace my Li Family's reputation."
Li Tai's silhouette gradually disappeared into the distance. Lin Wanrong stared blankly for a moment. He suddenly realized that he had taken on a hot potato. It would be fine if nothing happened to Little Li, but if anything were to happen to him, based on Li Tai's reputation as a loyal and upright person, he, Lin Wanrong, would be condemned by the entire Da Hua. His illustrious reputation would be ruined in a day. Damn it, I fell into this kid's trap, Hu Feng bitterly cursed.
When they caught up with Xu Zhiqing and the others, the generals had already stopped. They were standing on top of the city gate tower and looking down. In the distance, the dust and smoke were rolling. The cavalry led by Xu Zhen was about 5000 people. Their hooves galloped and their momentum was huge.
There were several groups of people who were used as infantry defense. Originally, they were in the same formation. But, when Xu Zhen's cavalry charged, their formation was instantly scattered. Only one of the groups had a stable formation and was fighting fiercely with Xu Zhen's cavalry. Everyone could clearly see that the only group that was persisting was the infantry formation led by Du Xiu Yuan. Xu Zhen and Du Xiu Yuan were both brought out by Lin Wanrong. Everyone could not help but be surprised.
"Everyone, please look." Xu Zhiqing sighed: "I have already practiced this infantry formation countless times. The officers and soldiers have also memorized it. Each of them has trained hard. But, the actual combat effect is not satisfactory."
Yu Zongcai carefully observed for a long time, then cautiously said: "Miss Xu, the brothers are very familiar with this formation. Their positions and footwork are not bad. It is just that when the formation changes, they always lose sight of one thing and lose sight of another. That is why the enemy cavalry has the opportunity to attack."
"Big brother Yu is right." Miss Xu nodded and praised. Yu Zongcai's face was full of joy. He secretly looked at Xu Zhiqing. Then, he pretended to casually turn his head.
"This new general, what do you think?" Seeing that Lin San did not speak for a long time, Xu Zhiqing opened her mouth and asked with an indifferent expression. Zuo Qiu and the rest understood that the real discussion had begun.
Lin Wanrong did not know much about the infantry formation. After observing for a long time, he could only see one problem. He suddenly laughed: "Miss Xu, this place is filled with infantry and cavalry training. Why not use ladders to attack a city?"
Once this was said, everyone was shocked. Even Li Tai was stunned speechless. This Lin San is really ignorant. Fighting with the Hu, in the endless grassland and desert, where can they attack a city? Infantry training and cavalry training are all against the Turks. What is the point of attacking a city?
Why is this person's words so irrelevant? Miss Xu was angry and annoyed. Seeing him standing beside her and shaking his head, she wanted to kick him off the city wall. She hesitated for a while but did not do so.
Miss Xu stared angrily at Lin San. Yu Zongcai was overjoyed. He laughed: "General Lin has probably never been to the border. Outside the border, the endless grassland is desolate. The Hu are born on horseback. They usually live in tents and move as they please. How can we attack a city? "
"If we don't attack a city, we won't attack a city?" Lin Wanrong laughed: "Miss Xu, don't you think your formation is missing something?"
This person never lies when it comes to serious matters. Xu Zhi Qing was shocked: "What is missing?"
"In a formation with hundreds and thousands of people, you are missing the most fatal thing. It is called coordination and trust." Lin Wanrong smiled faintly and said to Li Tai, "Marshal, please summon Du Xiuyuan and another twenty brothers."
"Coordination and trust?" These two words are not difficult to understand. Everyone pondered for a while. When he thought about the siege drill that Lin San had mentioned, he suddenly had some ideas.
"Greetings, Marshal. Greetings, General Lin. " Du Xiu Yuan's face was full of dust and dirt, but he looked very excited. Behind him were more than 10 people. They are all old soldiers that Lin Wanrong trained in Shandong.
"Big Brother Du, are you still practicing the expansion training that I taught you?" Lin Wanrong asked with a smile.
Du Xiu Yuan quickly nodded: "Of course. To be honest, when we practice, we like the expansion training that you recommended the most."
"Good." Lin Wanrong smiled: "Then let's build a ladder for you to take a look."
What expansion training? What ladder? Everyone was confused. The people that Du Xiu Yuan brought came empty-handed. Where did the ladder come from?
"Roger!" Du Xiu Yuan's expression changed and waved his hand: "Build the ladder!"
In the blink of an eye, the people behind Du Xiu Yuan rushed to the bottom of the city. Two people in a group, stretched out their hands and squatted on the ground. The third person quickly jumped up and stepped on the wrists of the first two people. Two groups of three quickly approached and squatted together. Another person rushed up and stepped on the wrists of the first two people. In this way, a pyramid was formed. There were four people at the bottom, two people in the middle and one person at the top.
The seven soldiers roared and raised their wrists at the same time. The person at the top suddenly grew taller. He was almost two feet tall and he could touch the temporary city wall with his hand.
So it was like this. The generals were shocked. This was like building a tower. Everyone had to be willing to be a brick. With such coordination and unity, it was hard not to succeed in practicing the formation.
Xu Zhiqing looked at Lin San and saw that he looked indifferent. He did not speak nor smile as if he was used to it.
Du Xiu Yuan nodded his head and suddenly shouted: "Be careful, fall — —"
An unbelievable scene appeared. Hearing Du Xiuyuan's command, the soldier at the top of the pyramid showed no fear. He lay down straight and his body soared into the air. In the blink of an eye, he was about to fall.
The generals were greatly alarmed, but before they had the time to cry out, eight sergeants quickly inserted themselves from the back. They all stretched out their hands to form a bridge, nimbly and naturally catching their comrades who fell from above. The two soldiers at the second level did the same. They fell down and were caught again. In this way, everyone was at the top of the pyramid once and left their lives to their comrades.
"What a good ladder to attack the city. What a good training." Everyone was shocked speechless. Leaving one's back to one's comrades was the highest level of trust. They did not know how Lin San came up with this idea.
"Brother Lin, you're good." Zuo Qiu happily patted Lin Wanrong's shoulder. His face was full of admiration.
"It's just a small fight." Lin Wanrong laughed. His serious face disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"You know how to make trouble." Miss Xu snorted and turned her head away. Her face was hot and her eyelids were drooping. There was an inexplicable gentleness in her eyes …
