In the camp, the general of the "Restoration Army" sat in the middle. When Hu Qilin returned to the court, he asked him to be responsible for the dispatch of the three armies.

The general was not very old, about forty years old, and his name was Liu Chaobei. He is majestic, and he doesn't look angry and arrogant, because of his beard, people who are familiar with him are used to calling him Liu Dabeard.

It seems that Hu Qilin left him with a beautiful difference, think about it, there are all the troops of Nanqing here. In the entire Nanqing Imperial Court, there are only two people who can mobilize these troops! In addition to Hu Qilin, there is also the emperor of Nanqing...... But Hu Qilin handed over this errand to him, this right, just thinking about it will make people envious.

Liu Dabeard felt very good in his heart at the beginning, but the bad thing was that Hu Qilin only temporarily let him be in charge of dispatching the three armies. For the time being, this kind of thing often leads to a lot of trouble. In addition, the other two generals complained about his "high promotion", so he was not very comfortable as a temporary generalissimo.

As the general of the original "Restoration Army", and the "Restoration Army" is the most powerful part of Daqing's troops, he didn't care about this matter at first. Anyway, the power in this hand will be handed over to Hu Qilin sooner or later. For the other two generals, it is also passable......

The bearded man was sitting in the middle of the camp at this time, and on his left was a man who was older than him. He was tall and thin, but he looked quite mental. This person is the general of the old army brought by the emperor of Nanqing from Jiangbei - Xia Lingcang!

In terms of his qualifications, Xia Lingcang is undoubtedly the one with the deepest qualifications except for Hu Qilin, but he crossed the Yangtze River with the Nanqing Emperor who was protected by Hu Qilin. And this time, Hu Qilin handed over the dispatch of the three armies to this bearded Liu, and it can be said that he was the most dissatisfied in his heart. At this point, he was twisting his head, looking like he was sulking.

And sitting opposite Xia Lingcang is the general of the local armies - Xie Xunxiong. Xie Xunxiong is a native of Yangzhou, and he originally joined the army in Yangzhou and Jinling. And after the emperor of Nanqing crossed the Yangtze River, he took advantage of this geographical advantage to become the general of the local army.

In fact, compared with Liu Dabeard, Xie Xunxiong, the general, is the most "awkward". Before the division of Daqing, the cities and prefectures were managed by both military and political governance. To put it simply, basically every city has its own army. Although the number may vary from place to place, there are many places where there are people like Xie Xunxiong who joined the army...... But in any case, each city has its own army.

And after the emperor of Nanqing ordered all the local troops to come to this side of the frontier, the integration of the forces of various cities became a difficult thing. Xie Xunxiong, a great general, is actually just in vain, because no one under his command obeys him at all.

Come to think of it, these people were guarding a city before, although there was a prefect in the city. But what they say is also quite weighty, at least they have some rights. But when all of this is put together, they no longer have the title of local army.

Xie Xunxiong also joined the army as a local, originally at the same level, but now he has become the general who leads them...... It's weird to be convinced!

In addition to the three of them, there were seven or eight vanguard generals. Like a general on the left, a general on the right...... Although these people have a large official position, they do not have troops in their hands. If you want to lead the troops, you still need to "borrow troops" from the three of them. So, this can only sit at the very end......

At this time, it was almost noon, Liu Dabeard glanced at it, and saw that everyone had finally arrived, so he cleared his throat and quieted the tent.

"Everyone, I guess you heard the news yesterday, right?" Liu Dabeard tried his best to show himself like a marshal of the three armies, and asked seriously, but no one in the tent replied.

Liu Dabeard was a little embarrassed, so he coughed softly, and then glanced at the right general next to him with his eyes - for so long, he always won over a few people.

This right-hand general is the youngest person in the tent, about thirty or so, with a majestic and majestic appearance, and when he saw Liu Dabeard, he bowed down and said: "The last general has heard of it, is it ...... Jiangbei thieves are coming! ”

With this right-lane general to alleviate the embarrassing atmosphere in the tent, Liu Chaobei nodded, and then stroked his beard with his hand, "That's right!" This time the Jiangbei thieves are menacing, what do you think should be? ”

The tent fell silent again, and just as Liu Chaobei was about to speak again, Xia Lingcang, who was sitting on the side, snorted coldly......

"Oh? What does General Xia Lao think? Although he knew that this Xia Lingcang might not have anything good to say, Liu Dabeard still asked-after all, it is always better for someone to speak than to sing a one-man show here alone.

Xia Lingcang was originally from Beiqing, although his family came to Jiangnan back then, but he was old, but he still remembered his ancestral hometown in his heart. No one in the tent hopes that this Nanqing can recover the northern kingdom as soon as possible.

He just snorted coldly, it was just because he felt that it was this time, and this Liu Chaobei was still saying these high-sounding words, which made him very dissatisfied! So now when I hear Liu Chaobei ask, I naturally don't have a good face.

"You Liu Dabeard doesn't look at when, but you're quite good at avoiding the important and light. The remaining grain and grass in the army is not enough for three days, even if it is reduced, it will not last for half a month, you Liu Dabeard said, what should I do now? He didn't mention the matter of Jiangbei, but changed the topic and directly talked about the current situation in the barracks.

Liu Chaobei didn't say it, waiting for someone to mention it, he actually had a countermeasure in his heart. So when he heard Xia Lingcang say it, he smiled slightly, "Why don't you ...... We withdraw our troops? ”

The army's heart is unstable, but Xia Lingcang didn't expect that this bearded Liu would dare to say this word in public!

"Okay, you bearded Liu! Retreat without fighting! It should be a capital offense! You ......"

Xia Lingcang wanted to say more, but Liu Dabeard interrupted him, "Retreat to Yangzhou, you can draw troops to support the DPRK, and by the way, hold the Jiangbei thieves who crossed the river, this is the best of both worlds." If not...... Do you have a solution, General Xia? ”

Xia Lingcang was silent, because what Liu Dabeard said was right. Retreating to Yangzhou and ensuring military supplies is the best way to deal with the enemy now...... But the city of Yangzhou is now occupied by tens of thousands of refugees, but I don't know how long the military needs in the city can last......
