Chapter 12 No Second Commander in the Army

"How could it be me?" Ju Zhirong looked at the young man angrily.

Thinking back now, Guo Renqing and Jiang Chenggui were taken away by Ning Jiang from the beginning. The night when the thousand Dragon and Tiger Imperial Guards came here, a camp roar occurred, and they had lost face. Ning Jiang's "good words of persuasion" was simply a sarcasm. He kept saying that he could only send 500 people to deal with the 300 barbarian soldiers. The thousand Dragon and Tiger Imperial Guards went to fight and died, which inspired Guo and Jiang to issue military orders.

There was no joke in the army. Even if the defeated person was revealed under the military order, the two of them were afraid that they would not have the shame to escape. Even if they escaped, Ning Jiang would probably behead them according to the military order.

Ning Jiang sneered, "How is it not you? There is no two commander in the army. Now you are sent by the imperial court, and I am the support of everyone. Those thousand Dragon and Tiger Imperial Guards are incompatible with our army. At critical moments, who will listen to whom? You said I forced them to die. In the past few days, Guo Renqing has been causing trouble for me. If I say something, he will definitely contradict me. Why have you ever said a word? I don't care if he contradicts me now. If the enemy comes, he will not obey orders everywhere and disrupt our army's position, then what? If you were me, would you keep him?"

Continuing, "In fact, I have given them a chance. If they really have the ability to kill the enemy in this battle, I am absolutely willing to give up my position, because they have made me admire him. They prove that my view of them is wrong, and that they can do better without me. But unfortunately, they did not do it. Facts have proved that they overestimate themselves, overestimate themselves, underestimate the enemy, and you have also made great mistakes in their judgments. Then, now, if I really accept the will of the court, give up the army to you, and lead the army to respond to the enemy, what will happen? This time you make a mistake in your judgment, and what are the losses of a thousand Dragon and Tiger Imperial Guards who are not used, and two generals who are highly regarded but do not distinguish between public and private. If you command the entire army, what will happen if you make such a mistake?"

Ju Zhirong was silent for a moment.

Those barbarians were far stronger than he thought, and he finally understood this. And that was only three hundred cavalry. In the last fierce battle, Ning Jiang brought these mobs to block the tens of thousands of elite soldiers led by Mu Bugu. Originally, he thought that perhaps those barbarians could not be very powerful. However, seeing his Dragon and Tiger Imperial Guard being killed by the enemy by three times, he truly realized the terror of the enemy and the weakness of China.

If Ning Jiang had really handed over military power at that time, with his underestimation of the enemy by Guo Renqing, Jiang Chenggui and others, what would the consequences would it have?

He didn't even dare to think about it.

After a while of silence, he suddenly looked at Ning Jiang and asked in a deep voice: "There is one thing that I hope you can tell me clearly, if you sent 500 cavalry to Junbao Town at that time, would you really have a chance of winning?"

Ning Jiang smiled and said, "No... I would never be stupid enough to compete with the elite barbarian cavalry like this. That is not the strength of our Chinese. But now, this is no longer important. Everyone began to believe that we also have elite cavalry. As I said, these thousand dragon and tiger imperial guards were killed just to die. Now, they also believe another thing I said, if we sent our own five hundred cavalry instead of the dragon and tiger imperial guards, we would definitely win."

Continuing, "Now, even our cavalry has begun to have such confidence. They believe that they are indeed stronger than the Dragon and Tiger Imperial Guards. They believe that as long as they dare to fight, they can definitely fight with those barbarian cavalry. In order to do this, they must further strengthen their training. Regardless of whether you are willing to admit it or not, I have successfully played the role of these thousand Dragon and Tiger Imperial Guards. I have made them die valuable and made them a stepping stone to inspire our army. Since they are not subject to the control and alive, it will only be an unstable factor in the rear of our army. It is better to let them use their deaths to inspire everyone and exert a truly useful power."

Ju Zhirong said: "Isn't the blind confidence you bring to everyone with this method? This time it was Guo Renqing and the others who died, the next time..."

Ning Jiang said: "It's different."

Ju Zhirong said: "Different?"

"Dare to fight and dare to kill is the basic requirement for the soldiers," Ning Jiang said with a fan, "How to make his soldiers fight against the enemy in a more favorable situation is the ability of the commander. The soldiers dare not fight, which is the uselessness of the soldiers. Even though they know that cavalry charges are not our strengths, they still have to use their own weaknesses to attack the enemy's strengths. This is the incompetence of the commander. Give me five hundred cavalry, as long as these soldiers dare to fight, I will naturally find a way to defeat the 300 cavalry on the opposite side. Yes, if both sides hedge, we will definitely be defeated, but how could I be so stupid to hedge them like this? What is military strategy? Take advantage of the situation, use your strengths and attack the enemy's weaknesses. This is military strategy."

Ju Zhirong looked at the young man in shock and found that he could no longer speak. For this young man, Guo Renqing, Jiang Chenggui and the Dragon and Tiger Imperial Guard of 1,000 cavalry were unfavorable factors, so he did not hesitate and used a small trick to eliminate this unfavorable factor without affecting his morale at all. It was obviously a defeat, but instead increased the fighting spirit and morale of the people below and further calmed down the hearts of the people.

Now, Ju Zhirong knew very clearly why the other party wanted to tell him this. The young man had already forced him to death. The other party was telling him... he had no choice anymore.

That night, Ju Zhirong couldn't fall asleep all night.

The next morning, in front of the entire army, he presented the military talismans handed over to him by the court, and presented them to Ningjiang with the most respectful attitude.

Since then, the three armies have been excited and the soldiers have been united...

"So, Xiao Fang, are you actually a girl?" Xiao Meng walked on the road, turned her head and looked at the child who was piling on the back of her head, followed them forward, giving birth to a beautiful skirt.

At this time, they were walking in a county town.

The county town that was originally peaceful and quiet, but now there are people who escaped from the north everywhere, with blank eyes and helpless faces, and robbery and theft from time to time, but more of them are refugees driven to remote alleys by officers and soldiers, as if they would disappear in this way.

"This," Xiao Fang said haha, "Just, even a girl!"

Can this thing be "substantiated"? If you are a girl, it's fine if you are dressed like this. If you are a boy, dressed like this will be very distorted.

Chun Jianli asked, "Last time you said, the men you know are all ugly monsters like monsters. The children there are children, neither boys nor girls..."

"What are you talking about?" Xiao Fang continued to haha, "I was kidnapped at that time and was frightened to death. What I told you was imaginary, not true at all."

Xiao Meng said: "Xiao Fang, you actually ran out of that egg, right?"

"One? Yes... that egg," Xiao Fang smiled, "I don't know what's going on. After those bad guys kidnapped me, I was drowsy. When I woke up, I was already in that egg. Who were those people and why I was locked in the egg, I didn't know anything. I was just a child, I don't know that so many."

This guy! Chun Jianli clenched her fists hard... obviously she was talking nonsense.

There is no doubt that Xiao Fang came out of that egg. If that egg really fell from the sky according to Ning Jiang’s guess, it would be so strange that his origin would be so strange. Where did he come from? What the hell is the man who looks like a monster?

"Is this a war here?" Xiao Fang turned his head and looked at the refugees around him.

"Well," said Ning Xiaomeng, "there is a war in the north, and I'm afraid this place is not very safe."

"North." Xiao Fang looked north and murmured, "There must be somewhere connected."

Chun Jianli and Ning Xiaomeng looked at her together: "What are you talking about?"

The little knife held in Xiaomeng's arms: "Meow?"

The child wearing beautiful clothes and two purses on his head touched the back of his head and said, "It's nothing, nothing." Then he looked up at the sky and said, "Do you know? This world... has been cut by a sword."

Had someone cut a sword? What does this mean? The two girls looked at each other again and felt that he might have a problem with his head.

There was a restaurant next to it. At this moment, they were all a little hungry, so they climbed to the restaurant and ordered wine and food. Xiaomeng ordered a plate of fish for Xiaodao.

Xiao Fang looked at Xiaodao: "This guy is so strange... they are called cats here? They seem to be different from other cats?"

Xiao Meng said hilariously: "Because Xiaodao is a flying Tmall."

"Flying Tmall?" Xiao Fang said, "What the hell is that?"

Xiaodao said: "Meow!"

Chun Jianli looked to the side: "It seems that there is something in trouble!" At some point, the drinkers around them had been cleared, and there were many more weapons. These tourists looked at them from time to time. From time to time, there were sounds of thunder, thunder, thunder, thunder, thunder, and thunder at the entrance of the stairs. They looked together and saw that the first person to go upstairs was a tall man with a wide face, followed by three women.

These three women turned out to be "Huaiyang Zhaoxue" Zhao Jiangtong, and her two apprentices Guo Hualan and Zhao Zhu.

Zhao Jiangtong turned her head to look at them, as if an angry spark appeared in her eyes. The big man snorted coldly and stepped towards them, leaving behind the tourists with weapons, and stood up one after another and surrounded them. The man said, "Sister Tong, the Changhe Cao Gang was destroyed and his brother-in-law was killed because of these two girls?"

(If there is no special explanation in the future, it will be updated in the middle of the night. You can wait until you wake up before reading. If you really can't help it, remember that the anti-pirated chapter will be revised at 3:30, so you must read it after this.^_^)
