Chapter 259 Expedition!(1/2)
Finally, it is the day before departure.
Bian Hao had sent a commander directly as Li Yu's personal guard, and took away many people from Chengxin Hall. Jiangning County also sent yamen runners to escort the way, and the journey was already in a mighty way.
Li Jingda is in charge of Jiangning City Defense and his fourth uncle. At this moment, he shows the elders' love for the younger generation, and sets out one by one to command the city defense troops to accompany him. In this way, there are more than 1,500 people, and the winding carriages and horses last for several miles.
This unit is mainly infantry, and there may be various cavalry exchanges and convey messages. Li Yu rode a horse at the forefront, and there were a row of big chariots in the middle of the team, with many huge pottery urns installed on it.
These honor guards are all for the people in the city to see. Although Li Yu had no psychological and sociology to form systematic knowledge, his use of them was not bad at all.
I had thought that a few miles long team would seem to be extravagant and was even secretly sighed, "Formalism has a long history."
But along the way, it has been beneficial to paving this way. The people on the roadside pointed and whispered to the team.
Although they didn't know what they said, they could tell from the expression on their faces and their unconsciously straightened their backs. They must be good words to praise the army's power and praise the victory.
For a moment, I felt that this was not all messing around.
I arrived at the dock not long after I left.
The Jiangning City Defense Forces and the Jiangning Yabo runners both returned home, and the transportation and escort work on the waterway was handled by Long Xiangjun, who was personally in charge of Li Jing.
Li Yu and the accompanying Xiongwu army boarded ten large ships, and several other warships were escorted.
The pottery jars were also carefully hung onto the ship, and King Anding personally supervised them, for fear that someone would be frustrated and would ruin the matter.
This also made all the sergeants and officials of all sizes and sizes very curious. The King Anding, who had always been gentle and elegant, was now jumping to command the eunuchs in Chengxintang to transport these large jars.
The tone was fierce and impatient, and even a cursed threat: "If this is fucked, I will peel you alive."
After loading the ship, the fleet swam upstream.
It was ten days after arriving in Wuchang. During these ten days, King Anding locked himself in a cabin and did not come out, but just repeatedly checked the local map.
When the civil and military officials who accompanied him saw it, they secretly praised the king. The king was both civil and military. What was even more rare is that he was not arrogant or impatient, and he did things in a solid and meticulous manner. He had already carefully studied the map before he even went to war.
"Fuck this, Gods and Buddhas in the sky are blessed, and everyone from the Time and Space Administration. Although you are disrespectful in your daily life, don't take it to your heart. You must help this wave, don't lose your chain at critical moments."
The boat arrived at its destination after nine days of traveling. According to Li Yu's modern habits, he abandoned the boat and landed in the military camp to meet Bian Hao.
But the man who led the team dissuaded with a smile on his face: "The king's daughter's body was sent by a saint to take arrows with his own eyes. This is a supreme motivation for the Xiongwu Army, so the general needs to take over."
"Never mind" Li Yu quickly stopped him. He was originally from the Imperial College Supervisor, but this time he was promoted to the sixth-grade military commander.
Whether it is grade, actual authority or future exhibitions, it is worth boasting.
but
As the general of the Xiongwu Army, Bian Hao is a real third rank, and is the same as the six ministers.
Adding to the title of Jiedu, the actual status is equivalent to that of the prime minister.
In addition, as Li Jing's most confidant general, Bian Hao is almost the most basic guarantee for Li Jing's ascension to the throne. When Li Yu saw him, whether from the official or private perspective, he had to pay homage to his subordinates or juniors.
Therefore, after he arrived on the shore, he wore the green robe of a low-ranking official. He neither borrowed nor publicly embraced the purple as a prince.
Just to keep a low profile, he believed that Bian Hao would definitely know his outfit.
But the Yu Hou, who was named Lin Tian, still clasped his fists and refused to leave, saying that he had obeyed General Bian's military orders. If the general was not allowed to come and pick him up in person, he would be beaten by a military stick when he went back.
Li Yu had no choice but to follow.
However, I had a little more thought about General Bian’s behavior. This initial temptation was clearly touching his temper and personality.
If he insisted on getting off the boat, then Lin Tianchao would just get a few hits when he went back, but from this he could see whether he acted in a low-key manner or was he who was high-key and self-proclaimed.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but touch the letter in my arms and sighed softly: "The general should focus on the border affairs. How can he do this like a civil servant? If you continue to think about people's hearts like this, take jujube pills for this big candy."
But then he thought that Bian Hao was originally from the Ministry of War, so it seems that it is understandable to do so.
From a small seventh rank official to a high-ranking official, and in history, he promoted troops to destroy the two kings, Fujian and Ma Chu, which is far inferior to the younger generation Zeng Guofan.
So, of course, one has to rely on oneself, so why is it that he is the only one?
His film is so vigorous.
But Bian Hao's camp was in an uproar.
General Bian was very strict in power, but when he was on the battlefield or in training, when he gathered to discuss matters, his central army tent was as lively as a private school.
He was a civil servant. In ancient times, combat was not something that could be planned by looking at Sun Tzu's art of war. Various details were the key points, such as how the army marched, how to camp, what formation was formed when chasing, and how to alternate covers when retreating.
These are often the secrets of military generals who come from generals.
Therefore, Bian Hao is very tolerant of transcending the times. He is often only responsible for specifying the general direction, and the specific strategies are discussed by his generals. In addition, he is Li Jing's iron-core, and not only does he have no shortage of military pay and weapons, but he always carries good things to him, which makes him extremely majestic in his subordinates' hearts.
However, today these generals jumped taller than rabbits, "General, you can't do this."
"Jings, Jieshuai, Sanshui, the sixth prince is just a sixth-rank military supervisor. He should come to worship the wharf. Where can there be a general to worship him? That is not the Tang Dynasty Tai?"
Before this person could finish his words, he was covered by someone else's mouth, "You don't want to die, you dare to say that Jieshuai is a rough guy and can't count it, but the meaning in this sentence is good, Jieshuai can't go."
Faced with the chaos below, Bian Hao still looked like a good temper.
But he was surrounded by a scribe who looked like a man who couldn't help but feel "what is the chaotic style"
It’s a big fault for his voice, but the tent became quiet.
But after a few breaths, the voice sounded again, "Old Bai, you are a human being, have a wide range of knowledge, please tell me about this."
"Yes, Lao Bai, we are a rough hang, but you and Jieshuai are both Wenqu Stars descending to earth. If you advise, Jieshuai will definitely listen."
Lao Bai's name is Bai Changyu, and he has the position of a sixth-rank commander of the Tianxiong Army. He is the steward of this army. He supports money and grain, and his army and armor alternately come out of his pen.
What’s more important is his relationship with Bian Hao. Bian Hao became famous in the battle of Zhang Yuxian’s uprising in Qianzhou.
Bai Changyu, the son of a wealthy family in Qianzhou, had a scholar's fame and fame. He directly threw himself into Bian Hao and took advantage of his familiar terrain to offer advice. Bian Hao followed suit. The two cooperated tacitly and won several consecutive victories, and finally tempted Zhang's subordinates to rebel.
This large-scale peasant uprising that had been fighting in Daruling for many years disappeared shortly after.
Afterwards, Li Jing was rewarded with merits and achievements and promoted several levels to Bian Hao, and Bai Changyu, as the master, was naturally simple in the emperor's heart.
Later, the two teamed up to defeat Fujian. Although they finally withdrew from Fuzhou in shame, everyone understood that the crime was not on their heads, but because of Li Jing's random shooting of the army supervisor. Chen Jue and Wei Cen's domineering and random command, the Southern Tang Dynasty was defeated with all the advantages.
With these origins, and he is usually good at being a human being, he is very popular among all the generals.
Seeing that he became the focus, Bai Changyu smiled bitterly and said, "It's all my own people here, I have been born and died together, so I won't go around the corner. Jieshuai did this for you."
"You, you, and you," he said, pointing to several people in succession and said, "When I returned to attack Fujian, I was arrogant and evil. Isn't it that the general manager of the army was ruined and the boss was the only one who protected you."
"Then, then, if we listened to us, we would not have been cheated by the Wu Yue Kingdom's mischief." The few who were named were dissatisfied.
"Hehehehe, yes, yes, you are the smartest. Not to mention that the military supervisor is not as good as the commander, right?"
"Oh, the position of military supervisor was established from the Qin and Han Dynasties, but it became the basis for eunuchs to gain power in the late Tang Dynasty. Therefore, although all countries now have military supervisors, they no longer need eunuchs to serve as the ones. And the power is too low, why should we be afraid of them?" A general was dissatisfied and called him.
"Yes, the power is getting weaker, but Chen Jue is a servant of the Secretariat, who specializes in drafting imperial edicts for the saints. Do you think his favor is comparable to that of the Dragon in the first year of Baoda. Do you think if he submitted a letter to you and would the saint believe it or not?"
"Hmph, you guys, and you, although they are all in the same way as Jieshuai, their work is rough and they are causing trouble."
"Last time Chen Jue Wei Cen went back in shame. This time the saint asked the sixth prince to come. I don't know what the intention was to go to the lower level. Jieshuai could only go to worship him. He was convinced first and gave him enough face. If you guys make trouble again in the future, Jieshuai would be convenient for him to speak."
"This is one, forget about the second, let's not talk about it for now."
When the generals heard that he was insincere, they became dissatisfied. Bian Hao said at the right time: "It's all gone, let's stand by, and charge you, and you'll be responsible for the rest of the matter. The burden on your shoulders is much heavier than that of this coach."
As soon as these words came out, everyone became quiet.
Sometimes one or two young men want to say something, but they were kicked hard by their colleagues, kicking all their words back into their stomachs. This man was about to do something, but he saw his colleagues' fierce eyes and found that the surroundings were extremely quiet.
After the salute, he quit the military tent together. Just as he was about to scatter back to the camp, he heard Bai Changyu calling out some of the generals, "Everyone, go to our camp to sit for a while, lighter, lighter, and gentler, don't let Jieshuai hear it."
"My generals, let's talk short. Although the saints today have a prosperous life, there is a crown prince in front and a crown prince in the back. Now, King Anding is asked to supervise the army. The meaning between them needs to be thoughtful."
"But, Lao Bai, why didn't you say this just now?"
"Some words can be said by our colleagues, but what is the identity of the Jishuai? Will you and I both fight together when you hear this? But others may not, if there are saints in it."
"Old Bai, what I said is, what I will do next will be yours."
"What else can I do to strictly abide by military discipline? Don't let this king pick up the problem. No matter what he wants you to do, he agrees first, and then asks him for military orders and what happened to Chen Jue and Wei Cen last time. This time, it cannot be repeated. As long as there is no general's military order, everyone will just be farts. If something happens, he will be responsible."
"Old Bai, you really have it."
In the Southern Tang military system, the military supervisor could control the generals, but had no binding force on the officers under them. These officers were only subject to the general's orders.
This is the reason, but Chen Jue Wei Cen was used to being domineering. The last battle to destroy Fujian was a random command, which led to the subsequent defeat.
"If there is no military order, I will ask him all the time to ask him for help. Do you understand?"
"Okay, let's listen to you."
"Remember, this time, it's more troublesome to attack Ma Chu than to attack Min."
The next morning, Li Yu got up early and waited for Bian Hao to come to pay homage to the pier.
"Ezhou Jiedushi, Xiongwu Army General Bian Hao pays homage to the king"
"I dare not, I dare not, the Xiongwu Army Supervisor Li Yu met with the General"
As soon as two official words were spoken by the official, both sides felt that the other party could be a good person.
Bian Hao did not borrow an official position to suppress others, but used the "worship" of the civilians to the royal family.
Li Yu confirmed his identity and "refer to" the general with the following rituals, and did not act arrogantly.
