Invincible son

Chapter 1178 1179 [A little arrogance] ([-])
Zhuang Xia frowned.

It is true that the first level of the official ranks crushes people to death, but the martial arts relatives are slightly different from the civil official group. The commander of the camp like him who has been promoted step by step through military exploits, even His Majesty the Emperor must give enough respect, otherwise who will be willing in the future? Work hard?So although he respected Xiao Jin's identity, he would not follow suit and be a respondent.

The hall was silent, and the atmosphere was a bit depressed. Zhuang Xia looked Xiao Jin straight in the eyes and said seriously, "Master Junji, could it be that you can't trust Duke Wei's judgment?"

Xiao Jin said indifferently: "Seeing is believing, what's more, Duke Wei is far away in the capital, and he made a decision based on a piece of information from an unknown source, which even affected the overall strategy of the Southern Army. Do you think it's okay? ?”

He looked around the crowd, revealing the majesty of the military aircraft of the current dynasty, and said word by word: "Or a few words from Duke Wei who are thousands of miles away can decide your opinion?"

Zhuang Xia was startled for a moment, then became angry, and said sternly: "What does Mr. Junji mean by this?"

Xiao Jin still said calmly: "As the commander of the Southern Army, I naturally have to assume the responsibility for strategic decision-making. The reason why I didn't hide Wei Guogong's suggestion is just like what you said, I hope to give you a reference, but—"

There was a bit of coldness in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Everyone should understand that it is about the defense of the Southern Army, and this Marquis can make a decision with one word!"

As the voice fell, one of his personal soldiers took two steps forward, holding a sword inlaid with gold and jade in his arms.

Everyone suddenly remembered that Xiao Jin was not only a military aircraft and the commander-in-chief of the Southern Army, but also an imperial envoy appointed by His Majesty the Emperor for Southern Military Affairs. This Tianzi Sword was a symbol of supreme imperial power.

With a sword in hand, no one dared to contradict him, including Zhuang Xia whose face was flushed, everyone stood up and saluted.

Only then did Xiao Jin order the soldiers to retreat, then looked at Zhuang Xia and asked, "Does Zhuang Hou have any objections?"

Zhuang Xia remained silent, the oldest Gongcheng Marquis Guo Xing had to cough lightly.

He lowered his head slightly, and said aggrievedly: "The last general has no objection."

Xiao Jin nodded in satisfaction, turned to Baoding Marquis Caiqian, who had always been indifferent, and said: "The various changes in the Southern Zhou Dynasty show that they will not be safe and secure, and this battle is inevitable. In order to facilitate the actions of the South Bank army, this Marquis decided to use Baoding Marquis as the leader of the South Bank troops. Tiling, all the soldiers in Jiangling, Hanyang and the three auxiliary cities must obey the orders of Baodinghou."

This arrangement is just right. Although Gu Jie is favored by the elders, but his qualifications are too young to lead an army, and Cai Qian's achievements are even higher than his. This move will not arouse the resentment of some generals in the army.

Cai Qian got up to take the order, his expression neither humble nor overbearing.

Guo Xing, Marquis of Gongcheng sighed in his heart, it seems that the people who were entrained by the late emperor were more valued.

Although Cai Qian does not have the title of the commander of the Great Battalion, the authority in his hands is far greater than that of the North Shore Fifth Battalion, because the South Shore has [-] troops, which is more than the combined strength of the Changping and Qi Nian camps. .

The rest of the generals were also aware of this, and they couldn't help looking at Cai Qian with envy.

Xiao Jin had a panoramic view of everyone's reactions, and said leisurely: "Just now, I didn't deliberately target Zhuanghou, but I just hope that you will not be influenced by the outside world, and all suggestions must be based on the actual situation. Duke Wei is indeed invincible. He has made great contributions, but right now he is not at the border, does not know the details here, and his judgment lacks the support of key information."

He looked at Guo Xing with deep meaning, and continued: "Otherwise, this Marquis would have thought that the Duke of Wei was thousands of miles away from leading the troops by remote control."

At this point, everyone finally understood his previous intentions, and reminded them almost unabashedly that the current commander of the Southern Army was personally appointed by His Majesty the Emperor, and had the power to command the various ministries of the Southern Army. The attitude of the court is very dangerous.

Changing coaches during wartime does not require too complicated procedures. Xiao Jin now has the support of Cai Qian, Changping, and Yaoshan, plus the Tianzi Sword hanging above everyone's heads. It is the fate of being dismissed from office.

Guo Xing also understands the reason why the other party looked at him and said that sentence. He is the oldest and most senior, and his relationship with Gu Liang is a fact that is on the surface. If he doesn't express his attitude now, maybe he will His Majesty the Emperor left a malicious impression in his eyes.

Thinking of this, the veteran said calmly: "Your Majesty Junji is serious, how can we have such thoughts? The military affairs in the southern border are naturally decided by Master Junji, and the final general will not dare to follow the law."

"The Marquis believes in the loyalty of the old Marquis, and His Majesty has praised it many times."

Everyone carried the sedan chair, and since Guo Xing bowed his head knowingly about current affairs, Xiao Jin wouldn't force him too much. What he wanted was not for these people to be convinced, but to ensure that his military orders could be carried out smoothly.

As a battle-tested coach, Xiao Jin has her own considerations about the situation in the southern border.Compared with the layers of fog created by the Southern Zhou Dynasty, the most important thing at the moment is to solve the complicated situation of the mountains inside the Southern Army. The first thing to deal with is the influence of Gu Liang and Pei Yue on Weng's son-in-law in the army.

If these people are allowed to act on their own, even a secret letter from Pei Yue, who is far away in the capital, can change the mind of his generals. How can he command these hundreds of thousands of troops to deal with the war?
After bringing this matter to the fore, Xiao Jin said to Cai Qian: "The army on the south bank must not go out lightly, and continue to strengthen the investigation of the situation on the northern line of the Southern Zhou Dynasty. If necessary, additional sentries can be sent."

Cai Qian nodded and said, "The last general takes orders."

Xiao Jin didn't go into too much detail, he believed that Cai Qian's rich experience would not be limited by the benevolence of women.

"Admiral Li."

"The end is here."

"The Dingzhou Navy temporarily avoids the Wufeng Navy, but it cannot give up the Shennvdu defense line. It must block the Southern Zhou warships to the north of the Shennvdu."

"The last general takes orders."

Admiral Li Yuantong of the Dingzhou Navy watched the change in the atmosphere in the hall, feeling a little emotional in his heart, a position like Xiao Jin had to use some means, which shows the influence of Duke Wei in the southern army.Of course, the Dingzhou navy has always been aloof, he will not participate in this kind of intrigue, and his demeanor is very calm and indifferent.

Xiao Jin pondered for a moment, then continued to issue orders: "Changping camp sticks to the west line, and Yaoshan camp sticks to the east line."

The two coaches stood up and took orders.

Xiao Jin looked at the remaining three coaches, and said slowly: "Qi Nian Camp and Gu Lei Camp are approaching the central part of Dingzhou at the same time, and they are deployed in the shape of a character with Zhennan Camp, and they can support the east and west lines at any time."

Although he had an aggressive attitude towards Zhuang Xia just now, and seemed to want to completely negate Pei Yue's prediction, but from this arrangement, it can be seen that this military master has no recognition of Pei Yue in his heart.At present, no one can determine the main attack direction of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, nor can they prove whether the opponent's arrangement in the Ningguo Camp is a fake, so shrinking troops towards the center is the safest choice.

Zhuang Xia and Zhang Qixian looked at each other, slightly surprised. They thought that Xiao Jin would go his own way and place heavy troops on the western front, tie up his pockets and wait for the Southern Zhou army to sneak in.

Although the two had some complaints about the coach, they didn't get angry at the moment and got up to take orders at the same time.

Xiao Jin saw that there was no objection from the crowd, finally showed a slight smile, nodded and said: "This is the end of the military discussion, please return to the station immediately, and prepare the army according to the military order."

Everyone responded in unison, and then slowly exited the festival hall.

The sunshine in the early spring was still somewhat chilly. Both Zhuang Xia and Zhang Qixian were in their prime, so they wouldn't care about the cold wind. However, Guo Xing, the Marquis of Gongcheng, who was over fifty, couldn't help tightening his sleeves, and his eyes were slightly dignified.

Zhuang Xia whispered beside him: "You Junji is too eager."

The implication is that although Gu Liang and Pei Yue have great influence in the southern army, Xiao Jin doesn't have to act like this. Isn't he afraid of arousing the rebellious hearts of these arrogant soldiers?

Guo Xing glanced at Zhang Qixian on the other side, and said calmly: "Master Hou said back then, you should learn more like Brother Zhang Xian, and don't always jump out in a hurry. Xiao Jin is very aware of Master Hou's connections in the Southern Army. If you don't After today's encounter, it will not be so easy for him to think about it in the future."

The Lord Hou in his mouth naturally refers to Gu Liang.

Zhang Qixian smiled and said nothing.

Zhuang Xia said angrily: "He wants to target deliberately, even if I don't speak up, he will find a reason to provoke me."

Guo Xing smiled helplessly.

Zhang Qixian skipped this section, and said softly: "What do you think of Xiao Jin's arrangement?"

"Old and prudent, in line with his usual style. After all, he has been in Hucheng for ten years, and he has already mastered the way of braking with silence, but..." Guo Xing sighed softly, and said quietly: "It's just that Nanzhou this time If you don't have soldiers, once you provoke a battle, it will be thunderous, and the old man is very worried that Xiao Jin will be too steady and will fall behind others."

He paused, and said in a low voice: "One wrong step is a wrong step, I hope this old man is just worrying for nothing."

Zhang Qixian and Zhuang Xia looked at each other with worry in their eyes.
