C505 To serve as a decoration
After the joke, Gongsun Ze Tian fell into a short period of contemplation. Although this kind of strength was useless in combat, he had to at least maximize their value. Otherwise, these people would have already gone to experience life.
"Hey, kid, what are you thinking about?" Cui Ziyi looked at Gongsun Zaitian, and joked.
"After thinking about the arrangements for these reinforcements, if we find a random place that doesn't have any use for them, these people won't be able to adapt to the climate and environment in the north, and boldly join the battlefield, which is no different from joining as cannon fodder!" But if we just sit idly behind them, that would be too much of a waste of the Headmaster's good will! " Gongsun Ztian explained.
"That's right, they are just a group of decorations. The real fight will be between Situ Qingyun himself and the Northern Army under his command! It's been a long time since there's been a decent battle in the eastern part of the Empire. In addition, these people are suited for water battles. Although Cui Ziyi did not understand much about military matters, but as the elder of the Surveillance Council, he knew a little about the situation of the troops in the battle.
"Decor? Alright, let them be our decorations! " Gongsun Zaitian's eyes suddenly lit up as he said while patting the table.
"What do you mean?" Cui Ziyi asked in confusion.
"Someone, come!" Gongsun Ze Tian did not answer Cui Ziyi's question. Instead, he shouted towards the outside of the carriage.
"Yes, Marshal!" Very soon, someone came outside the carriage and knelt on one knee as they spoke.
"Immediately send an order to Northern Army, order him to command all troops that come with the support! At the same time, we are ordering our reinforcements to set up camp in Anyang, which is fifty kilometers away from the border! " Gongsun Ztian gave the order confidently.
"We won't let them enter the city?" Cui Ziyi was surprised, he did not let the support troops enter the city, what kind of support was this? Could it be that Marshal Haotian was planning to have these people wave their flags and shout at them from fifty miles away? This was solidarity, not support!
"This is still not the time to enter the city! Also, send a message to Situ Qingyun, tell him to provide all the armors and weapons necessary to support the army, tell him to not care about defensive power or battle power, just use normal materials, but only ask for the most beautiful, the most beautiful ones! " Gongsun Ztian gave an indifferent reply before continuing to issue the order.
"What is it used for!" Cui Ziyi was even more confused. As long as they did not have any defensive power or fighting strength, he would not fight.
"Go decorate it!" How could they not look good! By the way, add a little more, tell the incoming troops to stop all military training and just practice assembling, walking, running, and standing up every day! "There's no mistake!" Gongsun Ztian replied with a smile.
"Yes sir!" The messenger outside the carriage swiftly left after receiving his orders.
"Kid, what are you trying to do?" If he didn't practice killing the enemy on the battlefield, just practicing would be useless! It would be better to just let them return home! " Cui Ziyi asked impatiently.
"Brat, I have my uses, I will explain it to you when the time comes! I still have a lot of things to take care of here. How about you just go wherever you're supposed to go! " Gongsun Ze ordered the guests to leave.
"Humph, this old man doesn't want to waste words with you either!" Cui Ziyi feigned displeasure, coldly snorted and left, but the direction he was leaving in was Lei Sheng's tent.
Gongsun Ztian could only shake his head. He couldn't help but comment in his heart, "This old man really has a lot of curiosity!"
However, in the next second, Gongsun Ze Tian's expression changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal. At the same time, a faint smile appeared on his face. He then continued to talk to himself, "You've arrived so soon. Don't let me down!"
? ?.
"Ley brat!" Elder Cui shouted from far away, probably because his movement speed was too fast. He and his voice arrived at almost the same time.
"Pfft!" I say, Great Elder Cui, can you let someone know before you come? This caused me to think that the Marshal had come and wasted a good wine for nothing! " Thunder God complained after spitting out a mouthful of wine.
"Come on, don't tell me this old man has to announce himself to you?" Cui Ziyi asked in displeasure.
"Alright, you have a point!" "I wonder why First Elder is looking for me?" Lei Sheng's head shrunk. He could not beat this old man, so he hurriedly shrunk his head and changed the topic.
"I just don't understand one thing!" Cui Ziyi asked bluntly.
"What is it?" Lei Sheng asked in astonishment.
"The dean just sent a letter saying that an army had been deployed from the east. The exact number of troops is still uncertain, but they are here to reinforce the northern border!" Cui Ziyi said.
"Oh? Is this true? This is not a good thing! " Lei Sheng muttered to himself as he shook his head.
"What do you mean?" Cui Ziyi asked.
"The troops in the east are formed by a resident army of the field army. However, their strength is not much different from the ordinary city guards. Some of them might not even be comparable to them!" Why would such a troop be sent to the border? Isn't this to create trouble for Situ Bu Fang? " Lei Sheng explained.
"Surely not? One more person is one more power! " Cui Ziyi was even more confused, and continued to ask.
"Ai, you aren't good at military matters, but you may not know this, but with the current Northern Army's strength, although it is hard to deal with, with Situ Qingyun's abilities, it shouldn't be a problem to maintain a stable defense! But if we include this no-name army in their midst, then the possibility of the enemy breaking through our defense line will greatly increase! " Lei Sheng sighed, and then explained in a simple manner. He was afraid that this elder would not understand, so he simply explained it in a concise manner.
"How about I send a letter to the dean and ask him to change troops?" Although Cui Ziyi didn't really understand it, he did understand one thing, that was, if these people were to go, not only would there be no benefits, it would instead be a huge disadvantage.
"That's not appropriate. Not to mention whether or not other people will be sending reinforcements to the north, there will be a huge difference in authority. After all, the other armies are all guarded by famous generals of the Empire, and the soldiers under their command are all extremely arrogant!" Lei Sheng waved his hand to stop his.
"It looks like I'll have to deploy this army from the east for a short period of time!" Cui Ziyi said with a face of helplessness.
"The marshal should know about this as well, right? What did he do! " Lei Sheng suddenly asked.
"What else can we do? The order we sent to Situ Qingyun just now!" Cui Ziyi was still immersed in a vexed and uneasy feeling, so when he heard Lei Sheng's question, he answered subconsciously.
"Oh? What does the order say? " Lei Sheng asked curiously.
"They said that they won't let this reinforcement troops enter the city, and that they will set up camp at a place fifty miles away from the border. They also said that they need Situ Qingyun to provide them with beautiful armor and weapons, and that they do not need to consider defensive power or offensive strength! In addition, they were required to train, move, run and assemble every day! This is nothing at all! " Cui Ziyi shook his head, and repeated the command.
The reason why Cui Ziyi came here was to ask the Marshal what exactly the order he had given, and when he heard Lei Sheng's explanation just now, he finally understood the meaning behind it. Right now, he felt that this order was even more senseless, and even had some playful meaning.
"Oh? How interesting! It's really very interesting! " After Lei Sheng heard this command, his eyes couldn't help but light up as he nodded his head meaningfully and said.
"Do you know why the marshal arranged it so?" Seeing Lei Sheng's peculiar expression, Cui Ziyi immediately asked.
"Let me ask you, how does the spirit of a unit manifest itself?" Lei Sheng looked around for other questions.
"Of course it's done!" Cui Ziyi said after thinking for a while.
"It's not entirely true. There are battles and victories on one side, but there is also a more intuitive way of reflecting it. That is, from the basics of gathering, walking, running, and standing up in the army. Whether or not an army can give off an elite feeling is most intuitively dependent on these few points." Lei Sheng explained.
"But what's the use of not being able to fight in a troop with just temperament!" Cui Ziyi still did not understand.
"They can't fight, but they can scare people!" Lei Sheng replied with ridicule.
"Who are you trying to scare?" Cui Ziyi asked, a little dazed.
"We do not have to fight the Profound Nether Empire! As long as he could make them stay put! The Marshal's move is a combination of real and fake. With Northern Army Situ Qingyun here, we can ensure that there will be no mistakes at the border. And for this reinforcements, if they could express their full strength, do you think the Profound Nether Empire would dare to attack us without permission? They will only think that there's something fishy about this matter, and even suspect that we were working together to set them up! " Lei Sheng laughed and explained in detail.
"So that's how it is!" Cui Ziyi suddenly realized.
If it was me, I would not have the ability to do so. I have already set a trap for Profound Nether Empire in such a short amount of time! Make it hard for them to advance forward! " Lei Sheng clapped his hands and praised.
Honestly speaking, Lei Sheng had been thinking about the battle situation in the north these past few days, and it would not be so easy to defend if he went to guard the border. After all, the main forces of the Northern Army were still here, and they had not left together with Situ Qingyun.
Lei Sheng had also thought about the possibility of dispatching other troops to provide reinforcements, but who could it be? It would not be easy to solve all of the problems of how to deal with the troops that had been sent out.
But Lei Sheng was sincerely impressed when he heard what the marshal had done. It was a dangerous move, but if he had used it well, it would definitely be a brilliant move.
"This kid is really unfathomable!" Alright, I got it too! "
"The Great Elder isn't staying to drink?"
"Stinking brat, still drinking, let the marshal know, you brat!"
"Haha, the marshal is still worrying about a pair of military affairs, how can he care about me!"
"Kid, you didn't do it on purpose, right?"
"Heh heh, I've transferred all the security to the marshal as well. Do you think I'd have the leisure to drink here?"
"So sinister ?" "No matter what, we're already stationed here, and the marshal is still in the carriage. It seems like he has no time to get off!"
In the carriage not far away, Gongsun Zaitian was currently reading an urgent letter that had just arrived, but the more he looked at Gongsun Zaitian, the more his eyebrows furrowed until finally, Gongsun Zaitian slammed the table and roared angrily towards the sky, "You Lei, your father dares to plot against me ? "Aiya!"
Before Gongsun Ztian could finish shouting, a large pile of documents buried him inside.
"Someone come quickly, the documents buried the marshal ?"
