Chapter 181: General Xu Yan (2-in-1)
Chapter 181: General Xu Yan
The battle after that was of course very important, but people like Xu Yan were still not allowed to participate in the war.
Similarly, there is also a general smiling to the sky beside him, generally speaking, this level of combat is not a last resort, and an existence like them is absolutely not allowed to participate in the war.
Of course, this time Xu Yandao can be regarded as abiding by the rules, after all, if he is making something out of the ordinary, this Xiang Tianxiao is not in vain, once he reports it, he is participating in the war, it is estimated that it will be a problem.
How high the old man's expectations are for himself, Xu Yan clearly knows in his heart that if he knows that his real self is that kind of enthusiastic every day in this situation, it is estimated that within three days, he will return to the capital after reading.
In the heart of the old man Xu Yan, nothing important is as important as his son's life, and naturally, it is reasonable to show this situation.
Xu Yan understood, therefore, he didn't make trouble at this important time, anyway, this war only needs to be used well, and the other party's generals actually don't play much role.
After all, as long as it wasn't a super powerhouse at the peak level of Jindan in this war, no matter what, he wouldn't be able to change the entire battle situation by himself, right?
For this point, both Xu Yan and Xiang Tianxiao knew very well in their hearts that the peak of Jindan was an extremely scarce existence in this Great Qin, and they didn't believe that such a strong monk would appear to stop them in just a local aspect of a war.
Similarly, this is also a final test for Xu Yan, so there will be some anxiety in his heart at this moment, but he has not forgotten to be calm.
Anyway, all this seems to be pretty good, leaving a sub-battalion to clean up the battlefield and set up tents, in a short period of time, this kind of war, it is difficult to distinguish the winner and loser.
"I didn't expect that this time, the battle situation would work like this, and I was really lucky to be speechless. In one of the large camps, Xu Yanduan sat in that position and said with some embarrassment.
If you want to say that the kind of war before, all relied on your own strategy, then the current situation can be said to be the so-called luck, he never dreamed that there would be an army of 200,000 to attack such a first-line cliff, if in this point, he can't make good use of it, then wouldn't it directly delay the fighter?
"That's the credit of Your Highness, you know, even a veteran general with a lot of battles can hardly come up with such a tactic. It's time to smile to the sky, and in such a situation, he said suspiciously.
In fact, this is normal, after all, the era after this is the era of young people, and among the young people of Great Qin, the most dazzling are these princes.
Now that Xu Yan has appeared on the battlefield, this is a powerful incentive for this army.
No matter how Da Zhou reacted, the prince of Great Qin had already gone directly to the battlefield, and in terms of morale, he would definitely be a little weaker.
In fact, his previous idea was to let Xu Yan come and go through the motions, and then he would place His Royal Highness King Yu in the safest place.
Even if he has military exploits, he can directly push the whole head into the hands of His Royal Highness King Yu, anyway, in that case, His Royal Highness King Yu will not treat himself badly, right?
It's just that what he didn't expect was that Xu Yan really led the troops, and he also divided his two battalions at once, in that case, to be honest, he also felt a little unprepared in his heart.
Of course, Xiang Tianxiao is a subordinate of His Majesty the Emperor's Zong Wei, and he has always been loyal to His Majesty the Emperor to the extreme, and the same is true for the imperial family.
In such an environment, he still strictly carried out the order in the end.
It's just that I can't help but have some doubts in my heart, can a young man who is not yet twenty years old really be able to command an army of 100,000?
Now, this ending tells him that Xu Yan can not only do, but even do much better than himself.
An army below the million level can definitely be used freely in his hands, and this kind of pride is not something that any prince can have.
To tell the truth, he really saw a rising star appear in front of him, not to mention his relationship with the emperor, even if he was just a child of ordinary people, I believe that such potential, in the army, will definitely bloom its own light.
Almost as soon as Xu Yan made a decision, Xiang Tianxiao actually had an idea in his heart, wasn't it that he was directly biased towards a prince like Xu Yan at this time?
It is impossible for the generals to participate in the battle of seizing the heir, but it does not mean that they can't take the dragon merit.
At this time, he had already positioned himself under Xu Yan, even if he was in the army, nominally, he was still the general of the three southern armies.
"General, you say that, but it torments me. Xu Yan said with a smile.
Obviously, he heard what this meant, but for the time being, he absolutely could not say anything.
Because the military system has always been like this, many times, officials are crushed to death at the top level, and there is absolutely no situation where status is swayed.
Let's put it this way, even if you are the emperor or the son of the marshal of the army, if you want to become famous in the army system, you need to fight yourself.
If you want to gain a certain amount of respect and successfully enter the ranks of generals, you still need military merits, and such military merits are by no means just something that ordinary people can accumulate, relying on relationships, which is absolutely impossible.
Even if at this time, your general is just an ordinary person, a child of a common people's family, and your identity background is very terrifying, once you commit military law, other generals also have the right to deal with it directly by military law, even if it takes your life, no one else dares to say anything.
At most, it's just a little bit of a move in the dark.
Of course, in reality, no general would really kill those powerful disciples so stupidly, but there are a lot of offended.
However, they still live a good life, and they will not get into trouble because of those things, and the concept of superiority and superiority is the most important thing to maintain.
In this Great Qin Empire, where military merits are king, to be honest, there are many people who are desperate for some military merits, and the real scalp blood flow, which can be said to be a real shortcut for ordinary people to ascend.
Only those who truly understand this truth will see the army as more important than anything else.
And now, even if he is the prince and His Royal Highness King Yu, he is still the nominal deputy general under the other party, which is an out-and-out fact, and for him, it is a gesture that must be made.
"Your Highness, don't say that, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid that my 300,000-strong army would have been wiped out, and I might not be able to achieve such a result. "If you don't believe it, you won't have to.
For Xiang Tianxiao, he really admires the existence that is stronger than himself.
Although Xu Yan is not as fierce as himself in terms of strength, he has always had a lot more brains than himself in the army, and at this point, it is enough for him to really look at him differently.
Naturally, this respect is unsurprisingly apparent.
For this remark, Xu Yan naturally knew that it was a compliment, but the jade slip that appeared in the air next mobilized his emotions in an instant.
Obviously, it is impossible for the capital to know about the war scene here.
The old man could get the news as soon as possible, and he also knew that his son was not having a good time at this stage.
Therefore, directly with a holy decree, this Xu Yan became the commander of the Southern Third Army.
To be honest, even if it was to this point, Xu Yan never thought that he would take office so quickly.
You know, no matter whether this is too much to smile at the sky, if you say it at this time, it will be somewhat impossible to transfer him away? Not to mention, his war is similar to the wars of several large armies in other places.
As soon as he saw the content of the holy decree, Xu Yan was a little helpless, he knew that the old man wanted to grow up quickly, even if he couldn't be the backbone of this Great Qin, at least he would have to become a barrier.
Only in this way can his reputation rise, for the sake of Daqin and for himself, and truly walk smoothly to his position.
However, this kind of holy decree is too early, right? Even Xu Yan was blindfolded for a while when he saw this, what the hell is going on.
It's just that Xiang Tian next to him smiled slightly, no one knows better than him what is going on in this matter, since the East Fence City left the city, he sent a jade slip to His Majesty for the first time.
It is to express the role played by Xu Yan in this war, and to suggest that he be pulled down to the position of general.
Only in this way, if Xu Yan starts to mobilize the army next, will he be able to justify it.
And I really value these things too much.
"General of the Army?" Xu Yan frowned, and found an amazing message in this encounter.
Xiang Tianxiao is such a general, a general-like existence, he did not lead a large army to start besieging Da Zhou, but was appointed as a military general, and Xu Yan was at the same level, together with the Southern Third Army.
"Could it be that the old man doesn't trust my ability?" As soon as Xu Yan thought of this, he immediately denied such remarks.
If the old man didn't trust his ability, then he wouldn't have made such an arrangement, he should still be afraid that his own strength is not enough, so that he is dangerous on the battlefield, right?
"To the general, I have nothing to say. Said with some bitterness.
It's not because Xiang Tianxiao will bring him any trouble, but Xu Yan simply thinks that he will directly give himself the credit for a big battle, which is unfair to Xiang Tianxiao.
"Your Highness, I don't agree with what you say. Xiang Tian smiled a little bit.
At this moment, the transition between the main general and the deputy general has been completed.
He knew very well that the so-called military generals were actually no different from adjutant generals, leading the charge of the team, or making suggestions behind the scenes, these things could be done by a deputy general.
The reason why he gave himself the title of a military general was because he was indeed not suitable to be a deputy general, whether it was qualifications or otherwise.
However, this is the result he wants to see the most, is it possible that he really can't make contributions like this?
Obviously, under such a huge light as Xu Yan, even if he doesn't want to make a contribution, this is not very possible.
Today's battlefield can be described as changing rapidly, but the only thing that remains constant is that this is a terrifying and protracted war between the two sides, and it will not be difficult to fight for a few years.
A few years later, will there be any so-called Southern Third Army, the Second Male Army, and the Southern First Army?
If it really comes to that time, the commander of all the armies, according to the current posture, I am afraid that it will be His Royal Highness King Yu, right?
This is absolutely very possible, although if he really does that position, Xu Yan still needs to have a long period of study and strength improvement.
However, all the impossibilities, in front of His Royal Highness King Yu, is it really impossible to achieve it all along?
Obviously, he didn't think that was the case, so he felt that following behind Xu Yan might be the best way to make meritorious contributions.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if there is no possibility of meritorious service, it is difficult to do it, and being a military general will humiliate yourself.
He himself is just a rather cautious general, and he doesn't know anything about tactics and strategies, at least it's not enough to use on the battlefield.
But His Royal Highness is definitely an expert in this area, and at this point, if he doesn't need to learn, no one believes it, okay?
It is because of this that he is so willing in his heart, and even gives such a position in the jade slip.
Otherwise, how could the emperor in the capital give such an appointment?
You know, His Majesty had his own plans before, and such an appointment would undoubtedly break such plans.
Only if you can really afford to put it down, this can be regarded as enough to improve, otherwise, even if it is a false name of a general, what can it be?
"The subordinate generals smiled to the sky, met the general, and asked the general to take the seal. Suddenly, Xiang Tianxiao, who was still sitting on the main seat, stood up directly, half-knelt in front of Xu Yan, looked serious, and handed over the general's seal and an object in his arms to Xu Yan.
In any case, this is a necessary procedure, not to mention, this is a relatively peaceful handover between the two sides, and at such a point, it is impossible for Xu Yan to accept it even if he doesn't want to.
What's more, he came here with great ambitions, and if he couldn't even follow this seal at this time, it would be a real joke.
The general, as the real commander of an army, can be said to have the right to fight independently and wage war independently in many cases.
It is a real entry point for the senior generals of the Empire.
In general, admirals in their teens, even in the history of the empire, were rare.
However, it is not that they have never had their rights, and they can be described as great subordinates on the battlefield.
Even if they are ordinary generals, if they really make mistakes, they have the right to deal with them directly by military law.
And what represents his identity is the general's seal and tiger talisman.
Today's jade tiger talisman has been completely encircled, so to speak, with these two things, the 300,000 army is their own.
At this point, Xu Yan's heart began to be a little excited, just kidding, being able to come to this point in such a short period of time is something he can't even imagine.
"Why should the general do this, but this is a holy decree, and I will not refrain from it. "Actually, in Daqin, many armies are handing over with all their might, which is not very peaceful.
After all, you have the right to speak when you have the military power in your hands, and many times, even if you are the commander of a small camp, you are not willing to let go of the military power in your hands.
And it is not uncommon for blood to flow five steps during the actual handover.
However, such a peaceful handover is very rare, the first is because of his identity as Xu Yan, and the second is that Xiang Tian smiled willingly.
This is not his old army, Xiang Tianxiao still has some feelings, but his feelings will not be extreme.
In addition, he himself was very convinced of Xu Yan, and at this time, it was a good thing for him to hand over his rights.
To be honest, even though I am confident in this battle, I am not completely sure. Xu Yan showed some concern.
Don't look at the previous time, he was very unswerving in implementing his ideas, but war is war, and when he is not on the front line, even he has no way to completely control it.
In such a situation, I can't help but feel a little worried, which is also very normal, after all, for him, no matter what kind of occasion such a war arises, it will be very inappropriate for him.
Until the end, I won't know if my guess is right or wrong, if that group of guys really jumped over the wall, then this matter will certainly not have any loss, but at least it can be regarded as trouble, okay?
In this regard, it is necessary to have all kinds of preparations, even if most of the preparations are not needed now, they must be thought of.
Seeing that Xu Yan was a little frowning at this time, obviously, Xiang Tianxiao also knew what he was thinking, and he didn't bother with anything.
Directly and slowly withdrew from this big tent.
This is really an unofficial and light, and he has unloaded the burden of the general, even if it is him, he has unknown comfort in his heart.
After all, no matter what kind of situation arises, for them, during such a period of time, they need to calm down, and at that time, it is really uncomfortable.
Especially when you have to maintain the lives of these countless soldiers, the psychological pressure you need to endure is so great, that you can't experience something completely incomprehensible.
