C362 Military Meetings (Part II)
"Then does the marshal have a way to know the exact location of the enemy's base?" Zhao Yiyang suddenly asked. He was not a brainless person, and seeing Gongsun Ze Tian's overbearing attitude, he knew that he must have some sort of plan. Adding to that, during the military confrontation between him and Lei Sheng, it was obvious that he was someone who had never fought a battle without preparation. It was even more impossible that he would bring such a huge army to the north without knowing what was in store for him!
Gongsun Zaitian swept Zhao Yiyang with a slightly appreciative gaze and said: "That's right, I do have a way. If it was normally difficult, but today, there is an opportunity, and it is also the only chance. If we miss this chance, then the force that is hiding in the north will disappear once again. And they would eventually become a hidden danger within the empire, a ticking time bomb that could explode at any time! Therefore, we must attack him in this battle and destroy him completely! This operation is not for the benefit of some people, nor is it for the purpose of achieving some unspeakable goals. It's only for the survival of the Empire, and also for the innocent citizens of the North. I hope that everyone here can do their best to complete this mission! "
As soon as Gongsun Zaiyan finished speaking, the surrounding people all fell silent. Everyone's eyes were fixed on Gongsun Zaitian who sat at the seat of honor. It wasn't because he was young, nor because he was everyone's marshal, but because of his words.
It was because of these words that everyone clearly understood that this young man was not here to fight for glory, nor was he here to be rich, nor was he here to be cool, he was instead here to 'clean ass' for them from Surveillance Council. How shocking was it that there were over a hundred thousand people hiding in the north. If these one hundred thousand people were to start a riot, it would bring the entire north into chaos within a few days. This would be an immeasurable disaster for the empire.
Gongsun Ztian's current actions were like someone saving the life of the Surveillance Council. If not for him, the Surveillance Council would have lost all face, and many people would have been implicated. Thinking about it here, everyone no longer had any thoughts of opposing Gongsun Zhaitian. If they had been unwilling or even disobeyed his orders when he told them to die, then at this moment, let alone dying, even if they knew very well that they would die, they would die without any hesitation. This was the inherent ability of the Surveillance Council to stand tall for a hundred lifetimes.
"For the future generations, we will win the Clear Sky and Earth. We will only die with no regrets!" These were the words that everyone in Surveillance Council had engraved in their hearts. The people of Surveillance Council were not afraid of death, as long as death was worth it!
Gongsun Ze Tian suddenly did not know what to say. He suddenly realized that the expressions of the people of Surveillance Council, who originally had some enmity and conflict with him, had changed, and they were all looking at him with shining eyes, but at the same time, full of gratitude. This sudden change caused Gongsun Ze Tian to be unable to adapt.
"Marshal, from today onwards, all members of the five divisions, below Lei Sheng, will complete the mission given to them by the marshal, even if it means their deaths! If anyone dares to leave their post without permission, I, Lei Sheng, and that person, do not even need to do it myself. Brothers, what do you say? " Lei Sheng suddenly stood up and said sincerely to Gongsun Zaitian, who knelt on one knee and placed one fist on his chest.
"I vow to die for my duty. I would rather die than retreat!" The generals of the fifth branch shouted as Lei Sheng knelt down on one knee.
"Marshal, all the warriors in Northern Army will definitely be of the same mind to complete this mission! Even if the entire army dies, they will not retreat! " Situ Qingyun said as he performed a military salute towards Gongsun Zaitian.
"As long as you are alive, you will die with no regrets!" The Northern Army generals knelt on one knee as they spoke.
Originally, Situ Qingyun wanted to kneel on one knee like Lei Sheng, but because he was too close to Gongsun Zaitian and Gongsun Zaitian saw that the opportunity was right and secretly exerted force, Situ Qingyun was unable to kneel any longer, so he could only give a serious military salute.
From Situ Qingyun's point of view, although this nephew of his might be a 'domestic and national affairs', he did not expect that this nephew of his would pay attention to the developments of the world at all times. Otherwise, it would not have been discovered that there was such a hidden and dangerous military force in the north. Adding on the tearful words from before, as an uncle, he was quite pleased. At least, he knew that no matter where his nephew was, he was an upright and respectable person.
"Marshal, I am Zhan Zhixin, and am now the Deputy Chief. During this northern mission, no matter what mission I take, as long as you give the order, all the members will die! We are willing to put up a military order! " Zhan Zhixin, who was behind Lei Sheng and Situ Qingyun, was the third to stand out and lead everyone present to kneel on one knee as he solemnly declared.
"I'm willing to serve you like a dog or a horse!" The crowd shouted in unison.
"The sixth or so places only know how to kill! Whoever you want to kill, we'll kill!" Shadow did not say much in the first place, but from his short words, he could hear a sense of sincerity, excitement, and gratitude.
The subordinates of the sixth branch were all people who would kill without blinking. They did not kill for money but for reason. This was the first time they spoke such nonsense from the shadows.
However, the shadow's words were obviously supported by all the assassins. All the assassins of the sixth branch kneeled down on one knee, moving in perfect unison. Although they did not say anything, the decisiveness on their faces told everyone that they were serious and were willing to kill for Gongsun Ztian's one sentence.
"Marshal, although the subordinates of the seventh division are all in charge of investigating criminal cases and are no different from ordinary constables in the yamen, none of the subordinates of the seventh division are cowards. Although no one said it out loud, I'll speak up for everyone here!"
Marshal, to put it bluntly, you are risking your life to clean up the mess of our Surveillance Council. We all know that simple words of thanks do not mean anything, but I want to express my sincere thanks on behalf of everyone here, because you have done something that no one in our Surveillance Council has done. Moreover, this matter is related to the rise and fall of the empire and the life and death of our Surveillance Council, so we do not mind leaving our lives in your hands.
"I vow to die and return, at the cost of my life!" All the people in the tent shouted in unison.
For a long time, Gongsun Ze Tian did not know what to say. He did not expect that a single unintentional sentence from him could cause such a huge commotion. He also did not expect that loyalty could be obtained so easily.
"Everyone, get up, I know what all of you are thinking, there is no need to say the word 'die', I have already made a complete plan for the trip north, and I have also made some preparations, compared to how you all have seen how I defeated General Lei Sheng, you all must have confidence in me, and also have confidence in yourselves, we will definitely succeed in this trip north!"
"In accordance with the title of marshal!"
"Alright, I announce that tomorrow morning, the entire army will depart, immediately head north without delay. General Lei and the General Situ will be in charge of this matter, the fourth round will start soon, and the fifth round will begin! Is there a problem? "
"General's orders!" Lei Sheng and Situ Qingyun stood up at the same time and answered.
"Vice Branch office Zhan, order a spy to head north immediately, put on a disguise, and make sure to reach the closest city to the north of the mountain range within three days. At that time, there will be people who will come in contact with you, and they will tell you some information, and you will know what to do then. Let Zhao Yiyang lead the team this time, and Deputy Zhan will take over the position of Chief of Staff of the army from now on, and be in charge of intelligence related matters.
"Yes, Marshal!" "This ?" "Marshal, what kind of position is this Chief of Staff?"
This position was very important in modern and future wars. It was accompanied by the entire staff, which was usually a very important part of the military command of the auxiliary commanders in charge of marching routes, attack planning, tactical planning, intelligence analysis, and so on.
However, in this era, there was no Chief of Staff. There was only a single General Staff. Although he did some advice, he was far from achieving the functions of the Chief of Staff and the General Staff.
Gongsun Zaitian paused for a moment, then explained, "Similar to the General Staff Officer, but more needs to be done than the General Staff Officer. I'll tell you the details later, as well as the need for you to quickly set up a general staff, with a total number of 30 staff members and a defensive force of a thousand-man army. The General Staff Officer is composed of the General Staff Officers of the various units, so you have to gather the people first, and then I'll teach you how to do it!"
"Yes, Marshal!" Zhan Zhixin stood up and replied.
"There are no arrangements between the Sixth and Seventh Branch. You guys follow beside the Elders and assist Elder Cui in maintaining the discipline within the base. The title of 'Disciplinary Supervisor' will be temporarily given to those Branch Elders. Once you have completed your tasks, arrangements will be made!" Be prepared to leave with the army tomorrow! " Gongsun Ztian looked in the direction of the six shadows and seven Yan Luo s and ordered at the same time.
"Yes!" Shadow and Yan Luo stood up to receive their orders!
"By the way, Marshal, how did you transmit the order when we were battling? It seems like the army changed before you could even open your mouth to speak. It's like your arms were being used; your efficiency is extremely high and concealment is difficult to be discovered by the enemy!" Seeing that he had finished giving orders, Lei Sheng asked with a face full of smiles.
"Haha, that's a new method of transmitting orders that the marshal developed. It's much more convenient and faster to use on the battlefield than shouting at your throat!" How does it feel to have a go at it? " Situ Qingyun laughed and said. Honestly speaking, this kind of method had already been used by Gongsun Ze when the balance was in chaos. At that time, Situ Qingyun was extremely happy to see it.
"Not bad, what a brilliant method. Hehe, I wonder if the Marshal would agree to use this method in the Black Dragon Guard!" Lei Sheng asked somewhat embarrassedly. After all, this method could greatly increase the combat prowess of the army. How could a natural born general like Lei Sheng not be happy? However, he couldn't get rid of his face when he opened his mouth to beg, so he continued to be like a young girl who was trying to curry favor with someone.
