"There is a deputy general at Yueyang Pass, Liu Zhao. This person is a veteran of Yueyang Pass. He is very good at city defense operations. His command style is stable and reliable. He is good at executing the orders of his superiors and realizing his intentions. How about this person?"
Following Wu Qingcang's suggestion, a person appeared in Li Chen's mind.
He shook his head and said: "No, the defense in Suiyang County is different from that of Yueyang Pass. All situations are completely different. The most important thing is not to let an overly stable general defend. It requires a certain amount of spirituality."
Seeing that Li Chen rejected the person he proposed, Wu Qingcang reported the names of several generals, including veterans like Liu Zhao and young backbones who had stood out during this period, but they were all rejected by Li Chen one by one.
.
Wu Qingcang will never be able to deal with this.
"Does His Highness already have a more suitable candidate?" Wu Qingcang asked.
"Su Pingbei, Wu Banshan." Li Chen said two names.
Wu Qingcang immediately frowned.
"What does Wu Shuai think?" Li Chen asked.
"Both of these two are competent enough in terms of ability and qualifications, but there can only be one general. Who does His Highness belong to?" Wu Qingcang asked.
Li Chen smiled and said: "Wu Shuai, do you feel that you want to avoid suspicion because your brother Wu Bishan is also among the candidates, so you know that I am asking for your opinion, but you still avoid talking about it, and instead ask
I’ve come to my palace.”
Wu Qingcang smiled and said: "You should avoid suspicion if you should. This battle is extremely important. If we defend it well, we can gain great prestige and popular support in Gansu and Shaanxi. But if we fail, we will probably die."
"
"If you win, you should get benefits. If you lose, you will naturally be punished. There is no doubt about this. What I am considering is not this, but the question of who is more suitable."
Li Chen frowned slightly and said: "Wu Banshan is more than stable, and his experience in defending cities is unparalleled in the entire army, but the same problem remains, lack of spirituality."
Speaking of this, Li Chen glanced at Wu Qingcang and said with a smile: "If you weren't the commander of the entire army, the best and most suitable candidate would be you, but it would be too wasteful to put you in Suiyang County to defend the city.
Well, this battle in Suiyang County is by no means just about defending the city. The grasp of the battle situation and the choice of timing must be ruthless and experienced. When should we pursue, when should we defend, and when should we retreat. If we retreat,
We also need to ensure that the Liao army will not turn to Yulin Mansion, and bite the Liao army so hard that they have to be led into Wolong Mountain. These cannot be solved by relying solely on the ability to defend the city."
Wu Qingcang smiled and said: "If possible, I would really like to be a general guarding the city. I wouldn't have so many worries."
After joking, Li Chen said to Wu Qingcang: "Actually, my preference is to have Wu Banshan as the main one and Su Pingbei as the assistant. The two of them will work together."
Wu Qingcang raised his eyebrows and said: "The two of them have very different personalities and commanding styles. How can they get along with each other?"
Li Chen said calmly: "This depends on Wu Bishan's ability. I have given him the power to employ people. Whether he can manage it well or not is his business... After this battle, there are many places where troops are used.
You can't stay stuck at the crescent moon forever."
Li Chen's words revealed two important pieces of information.
The first one is that Li Chen is already laying out the follow-up national strategy.
