Chapter 717: Military Heart

"I have decided to go to war with the Chamberlain. ”

Gu Shenwei summoned the generals early in the morning to discuss the military situation, and his words surprised the three people who had just sat down.

Fang Wen looked at the Dragon King in confusion and shook his head, outsiders were present, he didn't question it immediately, and Azheba didn't speak, he knew very well that he was better at drawing a bow and shooting arrows than giving advice.

Shu Litu got rid of the two personal guards, but he was a little uncomfortable, and writhed twice on the chair crampedly, "The enemies are around, and the Dragon King chooses the strongest close guards to fight, there must be a special reason. ”

Gu Shenwei had been thinking about it for half a night, although there were still many loopholes in the whole plan, but he believed that his reasons were very sufficient, "The close service army is the strongest, and defeating it will gain the most prestige, which can not only deter the enemy, but also unite the hearts of the army." ”

"But...... How do you defeat the close service army?" Fang Wen didn't hold back, or still asked, "Our army is only 30,000 together, but there are 100,000 close service troops, outnumbered, dragon kings, and the army ...... It doesn't seem to work. ”

"And the best cavalry of 100,000. Azheba added that although he was forced to flee the barracks in a mutiny, he was still proud of his close guards.

Shu Litu thought a little more, and explained for the Dragon King: "100,000 cavalry, but no officers, the power will be greatly reduced. ”

"When they came yesterday, it looked from afar that the military discipline was neat, and the banners were in order, as if there was no disorder, perhaps the great shaman had reappointed a group of officers. Fang Wen returned to his old role, asked questions, and helped the Dragon King think more thoughtfully.

"Will the close servants be able to adapt quickly to the new officers?" asked Gu Shenwei.

Azheba pondered for a while, as a former officer of the close army, he hoped that the answer was "no", but he had to tell the truth, "It's not a big problem, as long as someone raises the flag, the cavalry will follow whom, the officer and the soldier don't have to communicate much, and if the new officer is born from the soldiers, there will be no problem of rustiness." ”

Gu Shenwei's tone showed a hint of excitement, "That's right, the soldiers follow the flag, and the flag is the most stable pillar of the close army, so after the shaman seizes the military power, the first thing is to seize the handsome banner." ”

The big shaman with a black horse with a yellow background behind him, several people saw it, and Azheba still felt indignant, "The big shaman is not qualified to use the handsome flag at all. ”

"The Dragon King is planning to destroy the flag?" Shulitu's little face was also a little excited.

Fang Wen was more cautious, "I'm afraid it's not that simple, destroying a flag can make the enemy collapse?"

"If the timing is right. Gu Shenwei added a premise.

"For example, in front of the two armies. Schulitu added.

Several people looked at Azheba at the same time, and he had the most say in the dragon king's bold plan.

Azheba thought for a while, "The protection of the commander is sometimes tighter than that of the commander himself, not to mention how to destroy the flag, the reaction of the soldiers after the flag is destroyed is difficult to predict, they may scatter and flee, or they may share the same hatred of the enemy, I am very ashamed, I have been in the close service army for nine years, I know very little about the thoughts of the soldiers." ”

"The most difficult thing to grasp is always it. Gu Shenwei tapped lightly on the table.

"It's also hard to guess the morale of the military on our side. Shulitu casually said the word "we", not realizing that his position had changed, "The three armies have three handsome flags, and when they are arrayed, they are fine, and if they really fight, I am afraid they will still fight separately." ”

"This issue is being resolved. Fang Wen hurriedly said, this is exactly the task he is doing, "Within ten days, the whole army will only use one handsome flag, and the government order will come from one person." ”

This topic is a little more sensitive, and it has not yet been decided who the "one person" is.

Shulitu hadn't slept much last night, and had been thinking about a problem all night, when he stood up and said, "I have a childish proposal, I hope the dragon king won't laugh at me." ”

"Please, no one dares to laugh at the Three Kings. ”

"Well, I hope that the Dragon King can serve as the king's master and help me lead the army. ”

There was silence in the tent for a moment, and Gu Shenwei said, "It's an honor." ”

Fang Wen clapped his hands, "Where is this proposal childish? It's obviously a clever plan, why didn't I think of it?"

"Wang Shi" is a flexible title, which is not only like some kind of official position, but also has the color of Venerable and Guardian, which is most suitable for the dragon king, a foreigner.

Shu Litu was praised, and his face was still a little red, "If Mr. Fang is willing to be a military advisor, it will be even better." ”

Fang Wen had already secured this position, and nodded again and again, "Very good, very good." ”

The two sides exchanged a few polite words, and Azheba asked, "Have you considered the matter of fighting with the close attendants?"

Gu Shenwei had already thought about it, but he still thought for a while, "The process of rectifying our army has to be a little faster, and within five days, His Highness should become the only commander." ”

"With the help of the military advisor, I think it should be fine. "Shulitu tried to make himself an adult, and although he was still a puppet, this was the first time that he found himself in a voice.

Fang Wenshi also made a guarantee, "Five days, well, it's not a big problem, we have to hurry up to make a new handsome flag, if it's too late, just transform it on the old flag of the Shadow King." ”

"In three days, I will find out what the soldiers of the Guards are thinking, I don't believe that an army of 100,000 people will be controlled by a few gods, and there must be a major loophole in it. Gu Shenwei pressed his right hand on the table, and his determination to start a war did not waver.

Fang Wen knew the Dragon King's means of probing the military situation the best, which was very necessary and worried him, so he reminded: "The Dragon King must not risk his life, the captain of the capital has learned from the past......"

"There is no need to worry. ”

The Dragon King did not give a clear answer, and Fang Wen could only sigh.

Gu Shenwei left Azheba alone, "There is one thing that is very strange, the young shaman yesterday seems to have some resentment towards you. ”

The shaman said a bunch of threats, and before leaving, he deliberately glanced at Azheba, and Gu Shenwei remembered it in his eyes, ranking it in the lower position of many doubts.

"He didn't just hate me, he hated all the noble officers. ”

"What's going on?"

"Well, that's right. Azheba hesitated for a moment before telling the "scandal" of a few years ago: "About four or five years ago, a commander and a woman got along, the details are different, in short, less than a year, the commander returned to the old ministry after the end of his service, but the woman committed suicide." The shaman was the woman's older brother, and there was a lot of trouble about it, but many officers testified that his sister was ...... Ji Nu, who has seduced many officers, let this matter go away. ”

The young shaman hated all the noble officers from then on.

"Could it be that he incited the soldiers to slaughter the officers?"

"It's unlikely, only the great shaman has some influence in the army, and the ordinary shaman is just a miscellaneous servant. ”

Azheba despised the power of hatred, and Gu Shenwei did not correct it, nodding to signal that he could leave.

If you want to go deep into the close service army, it is too risky to rely on one person, you have to form a team with tacit understanding, Gu Shenwei was about to order Long Chuanyun outside the tent to go and invite someone, but the two guests came uninvited.

Lian Qing came over to resign, and Gu Shenwei tried his best to stay, "Now that the grassland is full of disputes, and it is not safe everywhere, why don't you follow the army back to the Western Regions?"

Lian Qing refused, "I am just a monk, I have no money and no treasure, so I have nothing to worry about." ”

"Since the monk insists, I don't persuade him, but I have a reluctant request to add some burden to the monk, can I?"

"Does the Dragon King want to bring something back to the Western Regions? No problem, just trust me. ”

"Trustworthy, it will take a little time to take care of these burdens, can the monk wait another day?"

Lian Qing frowned, "How big is it, do you still have to use a car?"

"It's not big, but it has to be loaded in a car. ”

The dragon king didn't seem to plan to tell the truth right away, Lian Qing regretted it a little, but the words had already been spoken, so she had to agree to go a day late, but she thought in her heart, she didn't owe the dragon king anything, why should she agree to add a burden?

The monk walked on the front foot, Xiao Fengchai came on the back foot, Gu Shenwei originally planned to see her later, but it didn't matter if he was earlier.

"I heard that the Dragon King went to see the queen last night. ”

"Well, the queen mentioned that you wanted to see me. ”

"It's best to avoid rumors. ”

Xiao Fengchai did not apply powder, and her dress was also very plain, although this is her usual style, but today it is extraordinarily strengthened, and even her expression has become serious, with a look of rejecting people thousands of miles away, and her ever-changing appearance is all deeply hidden.

"Rumors?" Gu Shenwei still remembered the scene when this woman tried every means to seduce herself.

"That lotus girl tied me up inexplicably, not to say that I am not clear with the Dragon King, rumors will spread to Biyu City sooner or later, I don't want the third brother to misunderstand. ”

"Third brother" refers to the third son of the Meng family, Xiao Fengchai was afraid that his sweetheart thousands of miles away would be jealous, Gu Shenwei couldn't help but feel a little funny, "Well, we're still business partners?"

"The Dragon King's business is getting bigger and bigger, and I have no reason to quit. ”

"I respect my business partner, say what you want. ”

"Send troops to send me back to Biyu City, the sooner the better, the Dragon King also wants me to go back to take charge of the business as soon as possible, right?"

"I'm just sending you back with such fanfare, I'm afraid that Meng Sangongzi will be even more suspicious. ”

"I have my own way of explaining it. ”

Gu Shenwei believed in Xiao Fengchai's ability, "Prepare, you can set off tomorrow." ”

"So fast?" Xiao Fengchai was taken aback, she had prepared several moves, but she had achieved her goal before she could use them, and her heart became uneasy.

"Well, but not you. ”

Xiao Fengchai thought for a while, "It's better this way, can I ask who it is?"

"You'll know tomorrow. ”

Xiao Fengchai walked out, took a few steps and turned around and said, "I owe the Dragon King a favor, and I will pay it back sooner or later." ”

"I'll wait. ”

The two are business partners, so naturally there is no need to be polite.

Gu Shen called into the dragon and ordered him to gather the following people: Mo Lin, Han Wuxian, Nie Zeng, Old Man Mu, Shangguan Ru, Shangguan Fei, and Tugou.

And Shangguan Yun.

Gu Shenwei already has many masters in his hands, and it's time to put them to use.
