There is no doubt that Yue Fei was a genius.
From the first time he joined the army, he demonstrated strong leadership and military skills.
Otherwise, he would not be worshipped as a god by the people.
He, Han Xin, Li Jing and Wei Qing are commonly known as the Four Great Generals.
Well-deserved.
The other generals generally have their own battles that they are good at and their own weaknesses.
For example, Bai Qi was good at annihilation warfare, and Huo Qubing was good at blitzkrieg.
However, Yue Fei was an exception.
Whether it is a blitzkrieg, an annihilation war, an offensive or a defensive war, they are all excellent.
He is a well-balanced and invincible commander.
If there is a shortcoming, it may be politics.
Of course, how could a commander who uses military tactics to fight the enemy on the battlefield not understand political struggle?
It’s just that Yue Fei disdains to use those little tricks.
now.
Inside the Imperial Guards camp.
Cai Jing, holding the imperial edict in his hand, slowly came to the platform to select the generals. He looked at the generals of the new army and said in a deep voice:
"According to the Empress's decree, the enemy has invaded the border and Shuozhou is in urgent need of help. Now that you have heard that Yue Fei is capable of commanding the army, I grant him the seal of commander and command 200,000 troops to rush to Shuozhou's aid. No mistakes are allowed!"
When this imperial edict was announced, no general of the New Army felt that it was unfair.
After all, we all joined the army at about the same time, so why should you be the commander?
On the contrary, when they heard the news, they supported Yue Fei very much.
Everyone raised their weapons and shouted excitedly.
Of course, Yue Fei was still very young at this moment. When he heard the decree, he couldn't help but be stunned, as if he could not believe his ears.
But that's the truth.
Cai Jing looked at Yue Fei, who looked stunned, and smiled, "General Yue, why don't you come forward and receive the order?"
Hearing this, the latter was shocked. Without hesitation, he came to Cai Jing, knelt on one knee and said, "General Yue Fei, I accept your order and thank you!"
Then, he held the imperial edict tightly in his hand.
Cai Jing personally helped Yue Fei up and said earnestly, "Your success today is entirely due to the recommendation of your head coach, General Gao Shun.
It is indeed a bit difficult for you to lead an army of 200,000 when you are just starting out, but there are no generals available in the court now.
Xun Yu will assist you, and I hope you can seize this opportunity and make great contributions to the country."
There are indeed no generals to be sent to the court now.
Because they have all been sent to the front lines to fight.
Yue Fei clasped his fists and said, "Please rest assured, Prime Minister. I will devote all my energy to serving my country and to promoting the prestige of our dynasty!"
Cai Jing nodded and whispered, "This is your first time leading troops and your first time on the battlefield. You still need to learn more. This time, I'm letting you lead the troops. I don't ask for merit, but I hope you won't make mistakes.
Remember, the 200,000 soldiers you are about to lead are all elite members of the new army. Bring them back safely. The imperial court cannot afford to suffer casualties."
To be honest, the main reason why Yue Fei was able to command the army was because he started from a very low point.
He rose from a foot soldier to the position of general.
Throughout history, there has never been a bad general who rose from an infantryman to a very high position.
For example, Han Xin and Bai Qi.
Now, although Yue Fei started from a high position, there is no need to worry whether he will become arrogant.
Because the time he spent in training had already allowed him to go through a period of life as a rookie.
Be able to truly understand the mentality and thoughts of the grassroots soldiers.
This will be a great help for him to lead troops in battle in the future.
In other words, it can be said that I have slowly climbed up from the bottom.
Yue Fei nodded and said, "Don't worry, Prime Minister. I will definitely be careful."
Cai Jing stroked his beard and said, "If this mission is harmless and meritorious, after you join forces with Wu'an Jun, I will report to the court and allow you to lead 50,000 troops. If you achieve further military merit, you will receive another reward."
After hearing this, Yue Fei finally understood.
My position as marshal is only temporary.
If the battle goes badly, we may withdraw at any time.
But if the battle is won, the seal of command will be removed and the army will be under the unified command of Wu'an Jun.
But by that time, the imperial court would also allow him to lead 50,000 troops.
In fact, the court has treated him very well.
After all, there is only one King of Wei, Cao Cao, in the entire country.
The court had its own concerns.
First, if Yue Fei was really allowed to take charge of an army of 200,000, it would be like forcing things to grow too fast. The foundation would be unstable and it would easily cause big problems.
Second, over the years, due to Ying Yuan's diligent efforts to govern the country, many talented generals and commanders have emerged.
They were all people who had followed Cao Cao and Huo Guang in their campaigns for many years, but even though they had made many contributions, they were far from leading an army of 200,000.
If Yue Fei were to be appointed commander-in-chief immediately, I'm afraid those generals would be dissatisfied.
When a war begins, the most taboo thing is for the soldiers to rebel against each other.
Therefore, Cai Jing or the court had no choice but to resort to this last resort.
Of course, if Yue Fei really had the ability to lead troops, there would be no problem even if he was promoted quickly.
The prerequisite is that his ability can convince Cao Ren and his generals.
After Yue Fei took over the commander-in-chief, he immediately set out to fight.
As for logistics, the court has already made preparations and it will be managed by Xun Yu personally.
After the army set out and left Xianyang, Cai Jing frowned slightly and said to Gao Shun, "Can this man really accomplish anything?"
The latter said: "I hope the Prime Minister can rest assured."
He just finished his work here.
Qin Hui had already made a scene in the Xuanzheng Hall.
