"I worked hard to fight and made countless contributions and just promoted to the rank of lieutenant general. Why can he, a defeated general, be promoted to lieutenant general like me?"

In a conference room of the General Staff of the Beijing City, Xiang Ningxuan slapped the table and roared, squirting the Yong army representative opposite him back.

After the defeat in Xianyang, the Yongzhou army was taken over by Cui Guan's deputy Major General Zhou Chenglin, who is the "he" in Xiang Ningxuan's words.

After Zhou Chenglin took over, in addition to gathering down the defeated troops and rectifying defense, he sent people to Sijiu City to ask for food, officials and reinforcements.

Sometimes, the outcome of a quarrel does not depend on whether it is reasonable or not, but who has a loud voice and strong momentum. The Yong army represented the representative of Xiang Ningxuan's momentum and weakly refuted: "In the battle of the imperial tomb, fortunately, General Zhou organized a retreat, otherwise the entire army would be wiped out, and such a contribution is not small. Moreover, our Yong army was defeated, and his morale was low and his heart was unstable. Only General Zhou could preside over the overall situation in Yongzhou. But he was only the deputy commander of the Yong army and the garrison officer of Nanzheng. If his reputation was not right, it would affect the combat effectiveness of our army."

Xiang Ningxuan said disdainfully: "It doesn't matter. I, this lieutenant general, went to take charge in person. It's okay."

The representative of Yong Army said anxiously: "Of course not! Although I am very grateful for your help, your army is a guest army after all, I am afraid that our Yong Army soldiers will not accept it."

"Bang!" Xiang Ningxuan slapped the table and roared: "I don't accept it! Yongjun Yongjun, are you still soldiers of the Republic?"

"Well..."

Xiang Ningxuan didn't give the other party a chance to defend himself and said aggressively: "Answer me positively! You and Zhou Chenglin, are you a soldier of the Republic?"

The Yong Army representative was so anxious that he was sweating. Judging from Xiang Ningxuan's attitude, if he dared not say "yes", he would probably have to go out today. So he could only bite the bullet and say, "Yes..."

"Yes? Then why are you dissatisfied?"

“…”

Although Xiang Ningxuan was right, he was obviously playing a rogue. Just imagine, if the above used the same trick, what would happen if he sent a general to take over the Longxiang Army? He would definitely be forced back! The most fundamental reason is that Zhou Chenglin lacks confidence.

Seeing that the Yong army representative was almost suppressed, Qi Song, the General Staff, who was sent by the General Staff, to coordinate the matter, said: "Zhou Chenglin did have some contributions, but it was not enough to support the rule. Moreover, the Yong army lost troops and lost territories. It would be good if we didn't hold the responsibility accountable. It would be a bit too much to be promoted. In this way, General Xiang could not be permanently stationed in Yongzhou anyway. He would go to take over for a period of work first. When Xianyang is taken back, if Zhou Chenglin performs well, it would not be too late to support the rule."

Speaking of this, the representative of Yong Jun had no choice but to repay Shangguan first.

After the person left, Xiang Ningxuan shook his head and said, "This Zhou Chenglin, the enemy is still thinking about getting promoted and getting rich, so there must be a problem."

Qi Song looked at Xiang Ningxuan meaningfully and said, "It is okay to get promoted and make money, but corresponding achievements must be made. The Republic will not let corpses and dine up on the throne, nor will it treat the heroes unfairly."

Xiang Ningxuan smiled and said nothing.

Qi Song continued: "We have discovered the source of the smog in the north, and all elite mobile troops will be transferred to solve this big problem. Emperor Shin-Yongzhou can only hand it over to you. It is not convenient for ordinary troops to mobilize you, so they can only reinforce 12,000 troops with one division. However, there is enough food and food management, and you can bring your own weapons and ammunition. How long will it take to solve the enemy?"

"No problem." Xiang Ningxuan replied, "As for how long it takes, we will have to go to the field investigation before we can answer."

After discussing the cooperation strategy, Qi Song suddenly said: "You have snatched the mission of Baodao. I proposed it to the top half a year ago, which is similar to your plan, but the top rejected it when the time is not yet ripe."

Baodao is indeed a hot commodity. There are many people who have the idea of ​​it, but unfortunately there are not many people who can really do it. By the way, there are probably not many real Republic soldiers who are not interested in Baodao.

Xiang Ningxuan smiled and said, "Our combat plan also needs to be reviewed by the General Staff. I ask my General Staff to contact you. Please give me any advice if there is any suggestion from General Staff Qi. Many new communication base stations have been built between Sijiu City and S City. It is much more convenient to communicate and contact us."

After the representative of Yong Jun returned to the Sijiucheng office, he immediately contacted Zhou Chenglin.

"General, the military does not agree with our promotion request, and may also send Longxiang Army commander Lieutenant General Xiang Ningxuan to Yongzhou to preside over the battle against Qin. What should we do?"

"What's going on, let me tell you in detail."

After the representative of Yong Jun repeated the situation at that time, he was silent on the other side of the phone for a while before saying, "I understand. You have been staying in Sijiu City for a while. You can bring some gifts to explore the whim of the old leader. In addition, help me collect detailed information about Longxiang Army and Xiang Ningxuan."

"yes!"

On May 30, the Republic issued a notice proclaiming Cui Guan, the commander of the Yong army, as general. At the same time, Lieutenant General Xiang Ningxuan, the commander of the Longxiang Army, was appointed as deputy commander of the Northwest War Zone and as commander of the Yong army. Zhou Chenglin was still the deputy commander, and appointed Hu Fumin as the governor of Yongzhou, in charge of civil affairs and logistics matters. They were responsible for eliminating the Qin army led by Emperor Shin-Emperor and recapturing Xianyang.

Before the troops move, food and grass will come first.

On June 1, when the combat troops were still gathering, the fleet filled with the first batch of logistics supplies formed a huge long dragon and sailed on the Grand Canal. Most of the army would march through land into Yongzhou under the leadership of Shen Rui. Because some of the troops were already deployed in the Central Plains and could drive directly.

The fleet was covered with ripples, and the water waves brought about by the navy forces responsible for escorts when swimming.

Part of the elite group sat on an armored gunboat that led the way as the pioneer.

The Grand Canal has already been well-versed in the water, and the water is shallow and slow, so it is no big deal. It can be handled by ordinary escort troops. However, there are many monsters in the Yellow River. After defeating Xiangliu, the monsters in the Yellow River have lost their natural enemies and emerged from some horn.

Several important ferry ferry skulls were hung on Xiangliu to deter them. Generally, powerful monsters are not stupid. Xiangliu is hung on them. They know that humans cannot afford to offend them and will not attack the ferry. But if they want to transport through the Yellow River, they will inevitably pass through their heads. Monsters also have dignity, so how can you pass without a fight?

Although the Republic killed Xiangliu and suffered great losses, the casualties were acceptable, but the breach turned into a marsh country, and plagues and locusts were bred. It has not subsided yet, and the economic losses are completely immeasurable.

It is acceptable to ensure the safety of several ferry crossings, and the Republic has no energy to clear out the water monsters. However, the locations of several big monsters are still marked.

Xiang Ningxuan directly joined the fleet when the Grand Canal was turning to the Yellow River and was preparing to fight with the Yellow River water demon. He could not have really been escorted with the fleet. When Yongzhou started fighting, he still had to lead troops on the front line. He had to kill a few chickens before the fight started, so that the Yellow River water demon could be honest and ensure the safety of the supply line before he could go to the front line with confidence.
