After losing the vest at the beginning, the female general was forced to marry the scheming prince

Chapter 4 Taking Over the Army
Yudu Outskirts Military Camp
The king of Chu took the emperor's secret order to Qu Chu's barracks.

Qu Chu held a total of 30 troops in his hands, stationed in the north and west respectively.This time, an army of 10 followed her back to Yudu.

Because the wolf country was hit hard this time, there was no way to launch a large-scale war within a few years, so the 10 troops were first placed in the suburbs of Beijing, while protecting the safety of the capital of Yu, while serving as a reserve army.

As soon as the news spread that Qu Chu was married as Princess Chu, several memorials were sent to the emperor's desk.All are candidates recommended by the general.

The emperor didn't even need to read the memorial to know that the candidate they recommended was not suitable.

Nowadays, there are very few generals who can go to the battlefield in Dayu State, especially generals like Qu Chu who are always victorious are even rarer.But those important ministers would not think so much, they would only arrange for their own people.

In fact, the king of Chu is not a suitable candidate for the general. The emperor just let him be the general on the bright side, and Qu Chu controls the army behind the scenes.

The army is different from the imperial court. It is not just a letter of appointment that can make soldiers obey orders.

……

Standing on the high platform, King Ning Youbei of Chu looked at the solemn and uniform soldiers below, who rushed towards him with a killing spirit, and couldn't help feeling a little heroic.

This is the real army of Dayu Kingdom!
This is what an army should look like!
Instead of being lazy and procrastinating like the Royal Forest Army in the Imperial Palace and the City Defense Army in Yudu, bullying the market.

But such an army was trained by a woman.

……

Wang Liangcong was originally Qu Chu's deputy general, and he was recommended by Qu Chu to the emperor to assist the king of Chu to take charge of the army.He followed the king of Chu and read out the emperor's imperial decree:
From today onwards, the King of Chu will take over the position of General and replace General Qu in charge of the 10 troops.

The news that the general is a woman has spread, and the soldiers have no other thoughts, but are a little apprehensive about who will take over the position of the general.Although the person taking over the position of the general now does not look like a general, he is the husband-in-law of the general after all, and he can be regarded as half of his own.

Furthermore, General Wang and General Wu have not changed their military positions, and even Mr. Fan, who is in charge of the military's finances, has not changed, which calms their restless hearts a little.

……

After inspecting the army, the king of Chu called the generals to hold the first meeting.

Wang Liangcong and Wu Dakang sat upright, majestic, but they didn't say a word.

King Chu choked for a moment: It seems that they don't welcome him!

But no wonder they.

The general they have been with for many years through life and death has suddenly changed, no one can accept it!

King Chu cleared his throat:
"I just want to tell you today that I am not familiar with the army, and I don't want to take over the generals. What happened to you in the past is what you will do in the future.

If there is something that cannot be resolved, you can go to Chu Palace to find the king or the concubine in the future. "

Hearing what the King of Chu said, Wu Dagang looked at him: "I'm a rough man, and I don't understand the truth. But my life was saved by the general, so I will give it to the general."

In Wu Dagang's heart, there is only one general: Qu Chu!
Therefore, in the barracks, they never called Qu Chu "General Qu", but "General".Only when calling others will they be called "General XX" with their surnames.

Wang Liangcong coughed.

Wu Dagang glared at him: I'm telling the truth.It's not like you who think this in your heart but don't say it.hypocritical!
Ning Youbei was not angry.

It stands to reason that the army belongs to the emperor, and the person they should respect most is the emperor's brother, not Qu Chu, but Ning Youbei is not naive.

Sitting on a high dragon chair, the emperor's brother didn't see these generals once a year, but Qu Chu stayed with them every day.

Eat together, drink together, train together, formulate strategies together, fight enemies together, and save their lives...

These friendships cannot be explained clearly in a few sentences, nor can an imperial edict be obliterated, and only they themselves know all about them.

……

After the king of Chu successfully took over the army, the emperor made the news public during the court meeting.

Prime Minister Fang Lingru winked, and Du Haiping, Minister of the Ministry of War, stepped forward to play.

"I would like to report to Your Majesty: The King of Chu does not know martial arts, his riding and archery skills are mediocre, and he has never led a soldier. He is really not suitable to be a general."

The emperor remained calm: "According to what Aiqing said, who is suitable to take over as the general?"

"My minister recommends General Huwei Lu Pingxuan. He has been in the military camp for more than ten years and has rich experience in leading troops. He is the best candidate to take over as the general."

Chu Wang Ning Youbei looked at Du Haiping sideways, and said coldly: "Can Lu Pingxuan be stronger than this king?"

"If my king remembers correctly, he was punished as General Huwei for embezzling military pay three years ago, right? If the prime minister hadn't interceded for him as a guarantor, he might have lost his official position.

Now that he is still under observation, he is only a fifth-rank official, so Mrs. Du wants to promote him to a first-rank general. Why is that?

If the imperial court is like you, Mr. Du, what laws and regulations are there? "

Being squeezed by the king of Chu, Du Haiping had no choice but to put his flag down.

Du Haiping retired, and Duan Huanian, Minister of Rites, came out.

"Report to Your Majesty: I also believe that the king of Chu does not know martial arts, is not good at riding and shooting, and is not suitable for the post of general. I recommend Chang Weijun, the admiral of the capital of Yu, to take over as the general.

Admiral Chang was once the number one scholar in martial arts examinations, with high martial arts skills, especially in riding and shooting. Now he is a second-rank official, and it is reasonable to be promoted to a first-rank general. "

This Chang Weijun is the son-in-law of Duke Wei.

The emperor looked at the people below coldly, everyone formed a clique and each had their own ideas.His queen is the eldest daughter of Duke Wei, and his noble concubine is the second daughter of Prime Minister Fang.

……

There is a reason why the emperor Ning Youyu trusted King Chu so much.

When King Ning Youbei of Chu was more than 1 year old, their mother and concubine were murdered to death.

Ning Youyu has a deep relationship with his concubine mother. Before his concubine died, his concubine asked him to protect Ning Youbei when he grew up, and he solemnly agreed.

At that time, Ning Youyu, who was less than 14 years old, wanted to protect his younger brother from being killed, and at the same time intrigue with other princes and fight for power.

In this process of fighting for power and profit, the King of Chu blocked many poisonings and assassinations for him... Even after the King of Chu grew up, he took the initiative to block an arrow and a throwing knife for him.

Without him, the king of Chu would not grow up, and without him, he would have died long ago.

The two grew up together, and their relationship is naturally not comparable to others.Even for his own son, the emperor was far from having such deep affection.

……

King Ning Youbei of Chu turned to Duan Huanian with a look of disdain:
"You still have the nerve to mention Chang Weijun, what do you think he has brought the city defense army of Yudu into? All of them have no power to restrain the chickens, they only know how to bully the people.

If the army is handed over to him, how will we fight in the future?How to compete with the wolf country? "
