There are no generals in the army, so Lin San is the vanguard? Lin Wanrong suddenly thought of this sentence, and his boss suddenly felt unhappy. What are you thinking about? Is Liao Hua as handsome as me? Can he pick up girls if I am? I am much better than him.
"This, Marshal Xu, is not very good. I have little talent and little knowledge, and I haven't fought in many battles. Apart from being passable, I really can't say anything else. I'd better leave this right-wing pioneer to someone else. I Just be a staff general in peace and stability." Lin Wanrong said modestly.
Xu Wei smiled and said nothing, but it was Zuo Zongyou who spoke: "Hey, brother Lin, don't be too modest. As the saying goes, age is not as important as ambition. Although you have recently joined the army, you fought extremely beautifully in this first battle, and even killed someone. Meng Du, who can match this meritorious service? He said that he has little talent and knowledge, and he is clearly the enemy of thousands of troops. Those bastards of the White Lotus Sect, when they hear the name of Brother Lin, their legs will tremble. This leader of the right wing If you don't do it, who else will?"
Cough, cough, Lin Wanrong pretended to cough twice. This Zuo Zongyou is also a master who knows how to wear a high hat. These words made me feel comfortable. Xu Wei said with a smile: "What General Zuo said is exactly what I thought. Brother Lin, when it comes to military achievements and the loyalty of soldiers, no one can compare with you. You must be the pioneer on the right."
Alas, I have always been so humble, but this old Xu insists on pushing the duck to the shelves. Isn't he deliberately making me jealous? General Lin shook his head helplessly and said: "In this case, the young general has no choice but to obey the order. I am young and also I don't have much experience in leading troops, so I ask you generals to take care of you and support you in the future. I can't thank you enough for Lin."
"Okay, it's settled." Xu Wei laughed and said, "All generals, listen to the order!"
"The general is here!"
"After breakfast today, the army will move forward and capture Jining in three days. Whichever group of troops captures Jining first, I will ask the emperor for his first contribution!"
"Got the order!"
After retreating from the camp, Xu Wei left Lin Wanrong alone and said with a smile: "Brother Lin, I will leave my right army in your hands. I am waiting for news of your triumphant return."
Lin Wanrong smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Xu, you must have planned it for a long time. You tricked me into being a staff general. But it turned out that I was asked to lead troops to fight. This kind of hard work is really embarrassing for me."
A hard job? This right-wing general is an errand that many people have been asking for. You kid got an advantage and acted like a good boy. Xu Wei felt greatly grievances in his heart and shook his head: "What did you say, little brother? I originally asked you to come here because I wanted you to help me. I sent you to Chuzhou. I also wanted you to take control of these remnant soldiers first. Accumulate some experience. It's just that I didn't expect that so many things would get involved, and I didn't expect that little brother, you could be so powerful and annihilate thousands of Mengdu's men. In this single battle, you are already my army of hundreds of thousands. The first hero, the first warrior."
The first hero and the first warrior? Ashamed, ashamed. If there were no muskets, I and my brothers would have died long ago. After all, I have to thank Qingxuan, my good wife.
"I'm afraid you don't know yet. The allusion you made about being angry with your brothers the night before has already spread throughout the army. Everyone praises you for leading the troops well and loving them like your own children. Now your reputation is so high that it is no longer The second person is comparable. If I don't use you as the vanguard general, I'm afraid tens of thousands of soldiers will not spare me. I will naturally want to know how to make good use of others."
"Well. Reputation and fighting are completely different things. To be honest with Mr. Xu, my so-called opportunity to predict the enemy was all obtained by accident. I'm afraid I missed Mr. Xu's big event!" Lin Wanrong said modestly. .
Xu Wei laughed loudly: "Opportunity never favors the unprepared. Brother Lin, as long as you can win the battle, no matter what mistakes you make, as long as you have the means, you are a hero."
Lin Wanrong shook his head helplessly. This matter was getting bigger and bigger. I was so free as a servant in the Xiao family. Now, although I have many more passionate brothers in the army, I have an additional shackle that shackles me. Miss, I miss the Xiao family so much, I miss you so much, Lin San looked up to the sky and sighed.
Xu Wei seemed to have read through his thoughts and said sternly: "Little brother, to tell you the truth, I brought you to join the army, firstly, to have staff officers in our army, and secondly, for your own sake. You are in charge of the Xiao family. Although the servant is free, he indulges in trivial matters every day and hangs out with Miss Xiao, Miss Luo, Miss Qiaoqiao and others. He has lost his ambition and is also a joke to outsiders."
Damn it, was this just a by-product of hooking up with a decent girl?
"You are so talented and witty, the best in the world. If you stay in the spring all day long, I am afraid that even your enterprising spirit will be worn away. I, a great man, will be a hero in life and a ghost in death. I really can't get old. I couldn't bear to see my little brother wasting his time like this, so I took the trouble to ask you to come over and help me in the army." Xu Wei said with all his words, but saw that little brother Lin's face was expressionless, and he seemed not to listen at all.
This little brother is so unique. Xu Wei secretly sighed: "Actually, there are some reasons why I invited you to join this army. You train in this army for a while, take over the military power, and meet Miss Xiao after some time." When I go to Beijing, I will receive great help."
Why should I live as a hero and die as a ghost? I am not that noble, but it will help me get into Beijing. This reason can barely be explained. But no matter what, Xu Wei was thinking about him and didn't have many bad thoughts towards him.
Lin Wanrong nodded and said: "In this way, I really want to thank Mr. Xu. But we agreed in advance that this is it. I won't be promoted to an official next time. I have a phobia of high-ranking officials."
Xu Wei thought to himself, can you still be promoted to an official position? You are already a pioneer on the right wing. If you are promoted again, you will be the only one to be the commander-in-chief.
"By the way, Mr. Xu, I have to thank you for delivering the letter yesterday." Lin Wanrong said with a smile, wishing to beat this old Xu up. Damn, I'm not in a hurry for business, but messy things are fine. Enthusiastic, I don't know what kind of torture I will suffer when I go back.
"Brother Lin has accomplished such a remarkable feat, so I should do some small things. The letter was sent by the Chief Minister himself a few days ago. In order to send the letter, Miss Xiao first went to Luo Ning, but she didn't know about us either. Where to go. Later, Miss Xiao
I found Luo Min again and begged him to deliver this letter to me. You also know that our whereabouts are absolutely confidential. Except for Luo Min, neither of his two children know. But Miss Xiao begged for help every day, with a sad look on her face, so Luo Min had no choice but to send her husband to send this letter. "Xu Wei sighed.
It turns out that the letter has such a history. Xiao Yuruo, a girl, usually likes to be cold-faced, but at critical moments, she is also very loyal. She had a prejudice against Luo Ning, but she lost her face and begged Luo Ning for this matter. Asking Luo Min again, thinking about the eldest lady's thin face and the content of the letter, Lin Wanrong suddenly felt slightly moved. If I had known this, yesterday's letter should have been filled with ten thousand words, but I didn't know that in a moment of excitement, I created something so unlikeable. I regret it, I really regret it.
"Brother Lin, you are extremely affectionate to the Xiao family, and Miss Xiao is also affectionate and kind to you. I am extremely envious of you. Don't let me down." Xu Wei said with a smile.
Let down? Who have I let down? I will not quarrel with the eldest lady when I go back, talk to her properly, and repay Xiaoni's caring heart.
Lin Wanrong came out of the big tent, and several people had already gathered around to congratulate him. Du Xiuyuan and others naturally didn't mention it. Several thousand families who were originally under Zhai Canghai also came to see them. They were all transferred to the right vanguard, General Lin's account. In addition, they saw General Lin's bravery and loyalty with their own eyes yesterday. Thank you. Also sincerely convinced.
Xu Wei did not tell lies this time. The five thousand infantry and cavalry soldiers assigned to Lin Wanrong were all elite soldiers, and they were different from the previous grain and grass soldiers. Lin Wanrong asked Du Xiuyuan to place his former military brothers into each hundred-man formation to convey General Lin's will and spirit.
The story of General Lin's attack on Mengdu and his furious beating of Zhai Canghai had already spread throughout the military camp. After being propagandized and indoctrinated by the grain and grass soldiers who had experienced actual combat in each team, the tens of thousands of soldiers immediately worshiped and admired General Lin, who was the vanguard on the right. The general's reputation was at its peak.
Du Xiuyuan, Hu Bugui, and Li Sheng were all promoted to Qianhu, and General Lin was promoted to the right vanguard of the general overnight, which made them extremely excited. For a while, their enthusiasm for training was high, and they were determined to train their soldiers. Fight with one against ten elite soldiers.
Before commanding the troops, Lin Wanrong had thought about the majesty of commanding tens of thousands of troops one day. But when that day came, he lost interest. Looking at the tens of thousands of soldiers with bright swords and guns and strict military discipline, he thought of the bloody battle that night. Lin Wanrong said sternly to several thousand households under his command: "You must not be lazy in the art of military training, and you must strictly implement the method of elimination. I don't want to see the battle of Peixian repeated again."
Hu Bugui and others nodded in deep understanding. Several generals in the cavalry camp saw with their own eyes the tragic situation of the soldiers who died in the battle that night, and they also deeply agreed with this idea of training elite soldiers.
Looking at the tens of thousands of horses and horses practicing, the swords and guns on the school field, and the dust and smoke billowing, Lin Wanrong couldn't help but sing: "I think back then, my team just opened, and hundreds of people came with dozens of guns..." The high chief followed him, Goosebumps fell all over my body.
Xu Wei risked his life and captured Jining three days later. The armies from the north and the south advanced together and implemented layer-by-layer compression tactics, forcing the elite of the White Lotus Army to have no way out and had to retreat to the city of Jining.
The right route army led by Lin Wanrong adhered to General Lin's consistent purpose of training strong soldiers and being happy sergeants. They trained in the morning and evening, traveled during the day, and lived a very carefree life.
But the closer he got to Jining, the more uneasy Lin Wanrong felt. This battle had been going on for days. The news from the Left Army and the Center Army was that the White Lotus Army was defeated day by day and had already hid back in Jining City. No matter how much he inquired, he didn't hear any news about Xian'er. Could it be that she was still in Jining City? This would be troublesome.
