The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 226

After the military discussion was over, Cao Ziyan set off to arrange for his men to enter the city. Beside him, more than a dozen generals surrounded him and left hand in hand.

In the military tent, Old General Tang sighed dejectedly, his originally upright body hunched down, and his expression no longer had the power it had before.

Under his seat, five or six generals gathered and looked at each other with extremely complicated expressions.Only General Huo from Leizhou looked indifferent.

At this time, the general Hou who had stood up to refute before couldn't bear it any longer. He cupped his hands at the old general Tang and said angrily: "Commander, that Cao Ziyan is really too rampant. He has repeatedly disobeyed your orders and kept delaying The pace of the army made the original plan to pacify Haizhou in more than a month abruptly extended by three months. Now it is even more excessive. It is obvious that the city will be destroyed soon, and it will be defeated after a battle. But he wants to engage in internal cooperation, since If you want to do it, why didn’t you implement this policy at the beginning of the siege? It’s really hateful to propose this policy at this time.”

"General Hou, don't you still understand?" Another hulking general who was as tough as a tiger sneered, "Cao Ziyan needs time to buy people's hearts and win the hearts of the army. If he wins a battle, the credit will be all the big ones." He is so handsome, so he, the deputy commander, can only drink some leftover soup. If this strategy he proposes can be successful, he can take a large part of the credit for calming down Haizhou, and ah, he can still be in the Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds to leave a good reputation in the army for being considerate to soldiers?"

"Well, what General Xie said makes sense, that's exactly what it is." Another lean general folded his arms across his chest and nodded in agreement, "This time when the army went all the way south, Cao Ziyan won over half of the army. General, relying on his father, Prime Minister Cao lives high in the temple, under one man, above ten thousand people, there are too many people who want to take refuge in him. I don’t know if you will find out that among the soldiers and horses under his command, those who do not want to take refuge in him His people would be transferred to the vanguard troops to take the lead in fighting against the enemy every time there was a big battle. After repeating this several times, his soldiers and horses suffered heavy casualties, and they were finally dismissed by Cao Ziyan for being ineffective in fighting. So now, The army under his command is almost monolithic, and everything is based on his orders, even if it is a general, I am afraid it will not be able to be mobilized."

As he spoke, he looked up at Old General Tang, his eyes filled with bitterness.

"Okay, General Yan, don't say any more." Old General Tang raised his hand, pressed down, raised his eyes to look at the crowd, and said in a deep voice, "Now is the time when my Tianwu is in crisis and internal and external pressure, we can no longer have internal strife After pacifying Haizhou this time, you have to go north to wipe out the rebels. Since General Cao has a way to take this city without bloodshed, let's wait and see."

When everyone heard the words, they gave up, but their faces were still full of dissatisfaction.

Old General Tang looked back at General Huo, who had been silent all this time, pretending to have nothing to do with himself, and smiled slightly, "General Huo, this time Haizhou suppressed the rebellion, thanks to your [-] reinforcements sneak attacking from behind the rebels." , turned the tide of the battle in one fell swoop. Here, on behalf of the entire army, I would like to express my gratitude to your army."

"The old general is serious. Both of you and I came here under the orders of the emperor, just to get rid of the traitors as soon as possible. How can we thank you?" Before you came, you told me again and again that you must obey the orders of the old general, and you must not make arbitrarily assertive and disobey military orders. The final general has already remembered it in his heart, and he dare not forget it."

"Haha, this old boy Feng Chongyi really told you that?" Old General Tang looked at General Huo with disbelief. "It doesn't look like him. Based on what I know about him, I guess he must be scolding me for being overwhelmed. I will die of exhaustion on the way sooner or later, right?"

"Haha!" Everyone here couldn't help laughing. Everyone knew that Old General Tang and Leizhou Defense Envoy Feng Chongyi were best friends and had fought together when they were young.

"This, this, the old general was joking." General Huo smiled wryly when he heard the words. His own coach really said this at the time. He stood in front of him and cursed for a long time, telling himself to take good care of Old Tang. General, don't let him die here.

"Okay, let's not talk about this. The siege is about to be broken. You Leizhou army should go back as soon as possible and defend Leizhou. I am very worried that the Tianyun Congress will make small moves." Old General Tang straightened his face and instructed. "After the counter-insurgency team returned to the court, this commander will play to the court to ask for credit for you, otherwise the blood of your soldiers will be shed in vain."

"The last general is on behalf of the whole army, thank you, old general." General Huo was overjoyed and quickly saluted.

In another large tent, a banquet was being held at this time, Cao Ziyan was sitting at the head, and the other dozen or so generals were sitting at the bottom.

"Everyone, now that Ninghai City is about to be captured by us, the suppression of the rebellion will be successful. Here, I would like to thank you all for your great help, so that the success is complete. Come, everyone, drink this cup with me." Cao Ziyan said with a smile on his face. The spring breeze is proud, and my heart is extremely happy.

"If you don't dare to be a son, you will be ashamed to accept it in the end." Everyone said happily and humbly, raised their wine glasses high, and drank it all in one gulp.

After drinking this glass of wine, Cao Ziyan put down his glass, looked around the crowd and said, "I will report to my father everything you have achieved in Haizhou. Do not worry."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help showing surprise on their faces, and their hearts, which were slightly worried, also calmed down a lot.They all raised their wine glasses and paid respects to Cao Ziyan.

After drinking for three rounds, Cao Ziyan was already a little drunk, his eyes half-opened, looking at the people present, his heart burst with pride.Among the 14 troops today, [-] have already taken refuge in him and are under his control. This trip to the south can be said to be fruitful.It's a pity that several generals headed by Hou Mingshan refused to take refuge in him, and only obeyed the old general Tang Tianhao; Huo Qidong, the chief general of the Leizhou Army, was completely unmoved by his overt and secret wooing.Otherwise, the tens of thousands of troops can all be controlled in their own hands.

Thinking of this, Cao Ziyan's eyes immediately showed a gleam of coldness, hmph, those who are not for my use, will be eradicated sooner or later.

With the help of this rebellion, coupled with the operation of my father, I will be able to take charge of an army.At that time, we will go up to the north to quell the chaos, and wipe out all the rebels in the north in one fell swoop.Then my father and son are unparalleled in this dynasty, and no one can compete with them anymore.When the time comes, when the time comes, I will be able to marry Princess Yunyang and fulfill my long-cherished wish.Thinking of this, Cao Ziyan felt full of fighting spirit, and wished he could go north immediately, wipe out the mob, and establish himself as a supremely brilliant image in front of Princess Yunyang.Let her know that she is not inferior to Lin Yifan, no, no, Lin Yifan is simply not comparable to herself.At that time, I will definitely cut off his head and hang it at the gate of the city, so that Princess Yunyang will give up completely.Why, in terms of background, he is the son of the prime minister, from a family of officials.The other party is just a poor landowner, and he is completely different from himself.In terms of talent and learning, even if the other party is the number one scholar in this subject, he is also the second in the list of talents. The other party was only lucky enough to be favored by the late emperor, so he was able to become the leader.Now, he gathers people to cause chaos in the north, and does not want to serve the court, but is willing to be a rebellious minister and a traitor.As long as I can defeat him in one fell swoop, I can declare to the world that I, Cao Ziyan, is the number one young talent in the Tianwu Dynasty, and Lin Yifan is just a traitor.

The drunkenness continued to rise, and Cao Ziyan became delirious.

"Lin, Lin Yifan, I, I will definitely, will defeat you." Cao Ziyan muttered to himself, couldn't help tilting his head, and lay down on the table, soundly asleep.

"Who is Lin Yifan?" Some generals who had a good drinker could vaguely hear Cao Ziyan's muttering, and couldn't help looking at each other in confusion.
