Chapter 1178 1179 [A little awe-inspiring energy] (4)

Zhuang Xia frowned.

It is true that the first level of officialdom is overwhelming, but the Wu Xun clan is slightly different from the civil service group. For a battalion commander like him who relies on military exploits to rise step by step, even His Majesty the Emperor must give him enough respect, otherwise who will be willing to do so in the future?

Working hard? So although he respects Xiao Jin's identity, he will not follow suit and become a yes-man.

There was silence in the hall, and the atmosphere was slightly depressing. Zhuang Xia looked directly into Xiao Jin's eyes and said seriously: "Master Junji, is it possible that you can't trust Duke Wei Guo's judgment?"

Xiao Jin said calmly: "Seeing is believing, and hearing is false. What's more, Duke Wei is far away in Kyoto, making a decision based on only an unknown intelligence, and even affecting the overall strategy of the Southern Army. Do you think there is no problem with this?

?”

He looked around at everyone, showing the majesty of the military aircraft of the day, and said word by word: "Or can a few words from Duke Wei, thousands of miles away, determine your opinion?"

Zhuang Xia was slightly startled, then became angry and said solemnly: "What do you mean, Lord Junji?"

Xiao Jin still said calmly: "As the commander-in-chief of the Southern Army, I naturally have to assume the responsibility of strategic decision-making. The reason why I did not conceal Duke Wei's suggestion is that, as you said, I hope to give you a reference, but -"

There was a bit of coldness in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Everyone should understand that it is related to the defense of the Southern Army, and I can decide it with one word!"

As the words fell, one of his soldiers next to him took two steps forward, holding a sword inlaid with gold and jade in his arms.

Everyone suddenly remembered that Xiao Jin was not only a military aircraft and the commander-in-chief of the Southern Army, but also the governor-general and military imperial envoy to the southern border appointed by His Majesty the Emperor. This Emperor's Sword was a symbol of the supreme imperial power.

With a sword in hand, no one dared to contradict him. Everyone, including Zhuang Xia, whose face turned red, stood up and saluted.

Xiao Jin then ordered his soldiers to retreat, then looked at Zhuang Xia and asked, "Does Marquis Zhuang have any objections?"

Zhuang Xia's expression was grim and silent, and Guo Xing, the eldest Marquis of Gongcheng, had to cough lightly.

He lowered his head slightly and said in a depressed tone: "The general has no objections."

Xiao Jin nodded with satisfaction, turned to Cai Qian, the Marquis of Baoding, who was always calm, and said: "The various changes in the Southern Zhou Dynasty show that they will not stay on their own, and this battle is difficult to avoid. In order to facilitate the operations of the army on the south bank, I decided to use the Marquis of Baoding as the commander of the armies on the south bank.

Ti Ling has jurisdiction over all soldiers in Jiangling, Hanyang and the three auxiliary cities. Each general must obey the orders of Marquis Baoding."

This arrangement was just right. Although Gu Jie was favored by many elders, he was too inexperienced to lead an army, and Cai Qian's achievements were even greater than his. This move would not arouse the resentment of some generals in the army.

Cai Qian stood up and accepted the order, his expression neither humble nor arrogant.

Guo Xing, the Marquis of Gongcheng, sighed in his heart, it seemed that those who were entrained by the late emperor were more valued.

Although Cai Qian does not have the title of commander of the camp, his authority at the moment is far greater than that of the commander of the fifth battalion on the north bank, because there are a hundred thousand troops on the south bank, which is more than the combined strength of the Changping Camp and Qinian Camp.

.

The other generals were also aware of this, and couldn't help but look at Cai Qian with a bit of envy.

Xiao Jin took in everyone's reactions and said leisurely: "I did not deliberately target Zhuang Hou just now. I just hope that you will not be influenced by the outside world and all suggestions should be based on the actual situation. Wei Guogong is indeed invincible.

He has made great achievements, but he is not at the border right now and does not know the details here, so the judgment he makes lacks the support of key information."

He looked at Guo Xing with deep meaning and continued: "Otherwise, I would have thought that Duke Wei was thousands of miles away and could control all of you to lead the troops in battle."

At this point, everyone finally understood the purpose of his previous faction. He reminded them in an almost unabashed way that the current commander-in-chief of the Southern Army was personally appointed by His Majesty the Emperor and had the power to command all the departments of the Southern Army. However, like Zhuang Xia, only Wei Guogong did not know.

The court's attitude is very dangerous.

Changing coaches during wartime does not require an overly complicated procedure. Xiao Jin now has the support of Cai Qian, Chang Ping, and Yaoshan, plus the Emperor's Sword hanging over everyone's heads. If Zhuang Xia resists the opposition, he will definitely

It is the consequence of being dismissed from office.

Guo Xing also understood the reason why the other party looked at him and said that. He was the oldest and most senior, and his relationship with Gu Liang was an obvious fact. If he didn't express his attitude now, he might be in trouble.

The impression of evil intentions was left in His Majesty's eyes.

Thinking of this, the veteran said calmly: "Master Junji made a serious statement, how could we have such thoughts? The military affairs in the south will naturally be decided by Master Junji, and the general will not dare to violate his decision."

"I believe in the loyalty of the old Marquis, and His Majesty has praised it many times."

The sedan chair was carried by everyone. Since Guo Xing bowed his head in recognition of the current situation, Xiao Jin would not force him too much. What he wanted was not that these people would be convinced, but to ensure that his military orders could be implemented smoothly.

As a battle-tested coach, Xiao Jin has his own considerations for the situation in the southern border. Compared with the layers of fog created by the Southern Zhou Dynasty, the most important thing at the moment is to solve the complex situation of the mountains inside the Southern Army. First, we must

What was dealt with was the influence of Gu Liang and Pei Yue on Weng's son-in-law in the army.

If these people were left to their own devices, even a secret letter from Pei Yue in Kyoto could change his general's mind. How would he command these hundreds of thousands of troops to deal with the war?

After talking about the matter, Xiao Jin said to Cai Qian: "The army on the south bank must not leave lightly. Continue to strengthen the investigation of the situation on the northern line of the Southern Zhou Dynasty. If necessary, we can send more sentries."

Cai Qian nodded and said: "The last general will take orders."

Xiao Jin did not go into too much detail. He believed that Cai Qian's rich experience would not be limited by the benevolence of a woman.

"Admiral Li."

"The end will be here."

"The Dingzhou Navy is temporarily avoiding the Wufeng Navy, but it cannot give up the Shenvdu defense line. The Southern Zhou warships must be blocked north of the Shenvdu."

"The last general takes orders."

Li Yuantong, the admiral of the Dingzhou Navy, watched the changes in the atmosphere in the hall and felt a little emotional. A person with a position like Xiao Jin had to resort to some means, which shows the influence of Duke Wei in the Southern Army. Of course, the Dingzhou Navy has always

Aloof, he would not participate in such intrigues, and his demeanor seemed very calm and indifferent.

Xiao Jin pondered for a moment and continued to issue orders: "Changping Camp will hold on to the west line, and Yaoshan Camp will hold on to the east line."

The two coaches stood up and took orders.

Xiao Jin looked at the remaining three coaches and said slowly: "The Qinian Camp and the Solid Base Camp are approaching the central part of Dingzhou at the same time, and they are deployed in a Zhennan camp with the Zhennan Camp. They can support the east and west fronts at any time."

Although his attitude towards Zhuang Xia just now was aggressive and he seemed to want to completely deny Pei Yue's prediction, it can be seen from this arrangement that the military master recognized Pei Yue in his heart. At the moment, no one can be sure about the Southern Zhou Dynasty.

Regarding the main direction of attack, it is impossible to prove whether the opponent's arrangements in the Ningguo camp are an illusion, so shrinking the troops towards the center is the safest choice.

Zhuang Xia and Zhang Qixian looked at each other, slightly surprised. They thought Xiao Jin would insist on going his own way, placing heavy troops on the western front, tying up his pockets and waiting for the Southern Zhou army to sneak in.

Although the two of them had quite a bit of criticism towards the coach, they did not act impulsively at this moment and stood up to take orders at the same time.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Xiao Jin finally showed a faint smile and nodded: "The military discussion is over. Please return to your station immediately and prepare for war in accordance with the military orders."

Everyone agreed in unison and then slowly exited the hall.

The sunshine in early spring still had a bit of chill in it. Both Zhuang Xia and Zhang Qixian were in their prime, so they didn't care about the cold wind. However, Guo Xing, the Marquis of Gongcheng, who was over fifty years old, couldn't help but tighten his sleeves and his eyes were slightly solemn.

Zhuang Xia whispered beside him: "The right military plane is too eager."

The implication is that although Gu Liang and Pei Yue have great influence in the Southern Army, Xiao Jin does not need to look like this. Isn't he afraid of arousing the rebellious spirit of these proud soldiers?

Guo Xing glanced at Zhang Qixian on the other side and said calmly: "Master Hou said back then that you should learn more from Brother Zhang Xian and don't always rush out. Xiao Jin is very clear about Master Hou's connections in the Southern Army. If you don't

After what happened today, it will not be so easy for him to do what he wants."

The Marquis in his mouth naturally refers to Gu Liang.

Zhang Qixian smiled and said nothing.

Zhuang Xia said angrily: "He wants to deliberately target me. Even if I don't say anything, he will find a reason to provoke me."

Guo Xing smiled helplessly.

Zhang Qixian skipped this section and said softly: "Brother, what do you think of Xiao Jin's arrangement?"

"Being mature and prudent is in line with his usual style. After all, he has been guarding Hucheng for ten years, and he has already become proficient in the method of stopping with silence. It's just..." Guo Xing sighed softly and said quietly: "It's just that this time in Southern Zhou Dynasty, either

If we can't afford troops, once a war is provoked, it will definitely be violent. I am very worried that Xiao Jin is too steady and falls behind others."

He paused for a moment and lowered his voice: "One wrong step is another wrong step. I hope I'm just worrying for nothing."

Zhang Qixian and Zhuang Xia looked at each other with worries in each other's eyes.
