"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 698
In the headquarters of General Zhennan in Sishui Prefecture, Luo Mingyuan scolded all the generals bloody.
"If you continue to stagnate like this, I will dismiss you from your posts!"
In the end, Zhennan General Luo Mingyuan put down his harsh words and threatened these generals with dismissal.
Because the Qinghe Army has just occupied the Jiangnan Province not long ago, and its foothold is not stable, so now is the best time to recover the Jiangnan Province.
If time continues to drag on like this, the Qinghe Army can gain a firm foothold, and if they want to regain the Jiangnan Province, they will probably have to pay a very high price.
Although the principle is simple, it is very difficult to implement. The soldiers are exhausted, and the generals are lazy and enjoy themselves. They are careful to preserve their strength, so that Luo Mingyuan has to convene this military affairs meeting to reprimand them.
In a series of battles with the rebel Yang Hao, the Southern Army has actually greatly improved its combat effectiveness, unlike the previous mob.
The reason why they are unable to move an inch now is that apart from the Qinghe Army's flexible tactics and strong combat effectiveness, the main problems and contradictions within the Southern Army are.
Many generals of the Southern Army came from big families, and there were many conflicts among their families, which affected their relationship with each other.
When looting Yunshan Province, many troops even broke out small-scale battles in order to loot property.
Although these small-scale fighting conflicts quickly subsided, they also exacerbated the division within the Southern Army.
Now the southern army commanded by Luo Mingyuan seems to be strong and strong, but in fact, there are dark tides surging inside.
Some generals were even secretly co-opted by the prince, but they are still waiting and waiting for the price to be sold.
Moreover, these generals are not fools. The old home of the Jiangnan province is lost, and the Far East Dynasty is full of wars and conquests.
If you want to preserve their current power, you can't do without soldiers in your hands, so you don't want to lose too much of your strength, so you won't be so active in attacking the Qinghe Army.
General Zhennan naturally saw the little thoughts of these generals, and in fact he himself had such thoughts.
There are still some factions within the Southern Army, and Zhennan General Luo Mingyuan is the strongest.
Hong Bo, the general who was framed at the beginning, was from a poor family. He was squeezed out and framed by the generals of the family, and was finally kicked out of the Southern Army.
Because there was the court of the Far Eastern Dynasty in peacetime, Luo Mingyuan, as the general of Zhennan, could not completely control the southern army, and more often it was a compromise with various factions.
Now that wars are raging in the territory of the Far East Dynasty, the strength of the family factions that used to be strong in the southern army has been severely weakened.
Zhennan General Luo Mingyuan also wanted to take the opportunity to suppress the generals of the aristocratic faction in order to strengthen himself and finally achieve the goal of completely controlling the southern army.
In the battle against the rebel Yang Hao and the current battle against the Qinghe Army, Luo Mingyuan sent troops who were not directly related to him to die, intentionally or unintentionally.
The generals who came from aristocratic families and powerful families have come to their senses now, and naturally they don't want to be used as spearmen by Luo Mingyuan, so they don't work hard now.
Luo Mingyuan is also not good at forcing these generals into battle, because if he is forced to rush and do it too obviously, it will be counterproductive, and maybe they will turn their swords against him.
"Gentlemen, the imperial court is in troubled times right now. The thieves have occupied the Jiangnan province, causing people to die. As soldiers, it is our duty to kill the thieves and put an end to the chaos. Please do your best to kill the enemy. As long as you take back the Jiangnan province, I will report it to the imperial court and ask for credit for everyone."
After reprimanding the generals, the tone of Zhennan General Luo Mingyuan also eased, and he began to understand them with reason, and even began to draw big cakes for them.
After all, for a general of Luo Mingyuan's level, the carrot and stick technique is naturally very familiar.
All the generals naturally expressed that they would fight the enemy with all their strength and live up to the expectations of the court and the general.
As for whether they will really fight to kill the enemy at that time, I am afraid only they will know in their own hearts.
"Now the bandit army has heavy troops stationed in Tongshan Mansion on the opposite side. Our army has failed to attack several times, so I decided to adjust the deployment."
Soon, Zhennan General Luo Mingyuan changed the subject and directed the conversation to the latest deployment.
All the generals also pricked up their ears one after another, and cast their eyes onLuo Mingyuan, I don't know what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd.
"The scouts report that there are not many bandits in Xinmen Mansion to the north of Tongshan Mansion and Jiang'an Mansion to the south. I decided to split up two armies and attack from the direction of Xinmen Mansion and Jiang'an Mansion."
"After these two armies break through the bandit defense lines of Xinmen Mansion and Jiang'an Mansion, and then circle around and outflank Tongshan Mansion, they can encircle the bandit army in the Tongshan Mansion area and annihilate them."
Luo Mingyuan couldn't move the Tongshan Mansion where the main force of the Qinghe Army was stationed in the front, so he decided to send troops to break through from the two wings, and then outflank the Qinghe Army in the front.
"The general's deployment is wonderful."
"The general is wise!"
After the generals heard Luo Mingyuan's new deployment, they all started to flatter.
These generals didn't know that Luo Mingyuan's move was not only to change the current stalemate situation, but also to prevent people from paddling.
?Because the army is gathered here, most of them are just waving their flags and shouting in the background, and it is easy to work without effort, and it is not very obvious.
But once the troops are divided up to attack, it will be clear at a glance who is contributing and who is paddling. If anyone hesitates to move forward at that time, he may have to sacrifice a few people to sacrifice the flag.
"Generals, who is willing to attack the Xinmen Mansion in the north, and who is willing to attack the Jiang'an Mansion in the south?"
After Luo Mingyuan finished talking about his deployment ideas, he turned his attention to these generals and let them choose by themselves.
"General, I am willing to lead my troops to attack Xinmen Mansion."
? Xu Liang, the head of the First Corps, was quite embarrassed when he was hit by a bloody head in Tongshan Mansion, where the Qinghe Army was heavily stationed.
Now I heard that the Qinghe army in Xinmenfu in the north has few troops, so I immediately volunteered to fight Xinmenfu.
"General, I am willing to lead my troops to attack Jiang'an Mansion in the south." The commander of the Fourth Corps also stood up without hesitation.
The two prefectures, one south and one north, are areas where the Qinghe Army's troops are weak. Only Tongshan Mansion in the middle has heavy troops stationed. Whoever does not go to a place where there are few enemies is a fool.
"General, why don't you entrust me with the task of attacking Jiang'an Mansion. I promise to break through their defense line within five days." The head of the Sixth Corps also stood up.
"General, I am willing to fight Jiang'an Mansion!"
Dozens of generals volunteered one after another, all willing to fight the Qinghe Army's weak Xinmen Mansion and Jiang'an Mansion.
"Stop arguing. There will be more battles in the future. This time, let the commanders of the First and Fourth Corps go."
Luo Mingyuan saw everyone clasping their fists to fight. While he was relieved, he also quietly gave the task to the commanders of the first and fourth corps.
"Thank you, General!"
The two corps leaders who got the task thought that it was Luo Mingyuan who took care of them and valued them.
But he didn't know that Luo Mingyuan had evil intentions, because he knew that the Qinghe army on the opposite side was not a fool. The Xinmen Mansion and Jiang'an Mansion seemed to be weak now. Who knew if there was an ambush?
Even if there was no ambush and they could easily capture these two mansions, there would be no loss for him, Luo Mingyuan.
Because his own troops will not go head-to-head with the enemies in Tongshan Mansion, he will wait for the other two troops to detour and complete the encirclement before taking any action.
At that time, maybe seeing that the two wings are threatened, the enemy in the front is worried about being surrounded, so they will take the initiative to retreat.
At that time, he will not lose a single soldier to occupy Tongshan Mansion on the opposite side, and he will not have to run so far.
"The task is given to you, but I also said my ugly words first. If you can't complete the task on time, I will deal with it by military law." Luo Mingyuan looked at the two excited corps leaders and added.
"Don't worry, general, we are willing to issue a military order!"
Worried that such an easy task would be taken away, the two regiment leaders were also willing to issue military orders.
"Okay, there is no joke in the army, come here, and I will serve you with pen and ink!" (Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel.com
