Especially after meeting Bai Yi of Qilin Guard, he was even more grateful to the Queen Mother for her kindness.
As a general, you should never be afraid to sacrifice your life for your country or your king.
He was afraid that his enthusiasm would lead to his failure because of his own people's non-cooperation, and the court would hold him accountable.
Now that he has the cooperation of the Qilin Guards, he can bear less blame.
After receiving the appointment.
Yu Song then ordered the troops to defend the city.
This went on for half a month, with Daliang attacked repeatedly, but Dayan took advantage of the city walls and only defended without attacking.
Southwest border, Dong family.
"Dad, Yu Song is like a coward, he doesn't dare to fight back. Daliang is very arrogant now! I heard that there are many criticisms about him in the capital, many people are saying that he is not capable enough and dare not fight Daliang." Dong Wei, the eldest son of Dongchuan Marquis, said happily:
"If this continues, the court will have to change its commander without you having to do anything!"
In the first battle when Daliang invaded the border, the defenders of Dayan had some victories and some defeats, and currently two cities have been captured by Daliang.
After Yu Song took charge of the army, he had been on the passive defensive and did not dispatch troops to retake the two cities.
So some people in the court were dissatisfied with him.
"That's all nonsense from people who don't understand military affairs. It would be safest for him to keep his troops in place." Marquis Dongchuan frowned.
He was a little surprised that Yu Song could remain so calm.
Now reinforcements are on the way from the northwest and southeast.
Waiting for the three armies to converge, concentrating forces and then launching a counterattack, this is the correct way to use troops.
If Yu Song counterattacks at this time, that would be considered as being greedy and reckless!
A commander who has just assumed power is often eager to prove himself with a great victory, but Yu Song is very patient. Even though there are many criticisms against him from the outside, he still goes his own way and just stands firm and remains unmoved.
"Dad, do you mean that the position of the Southwest Commander can never be replaced? How is this possible? In terms of seniority and prestige, he is no match for you! Ning Wanyin deliberately suppressed our Dong family to prevent the Third Prince from posing a threat to her son in the future! That's why she let a peasant ride on our heads!" Dong Wei said angrily.
As the legitimate son of a marquis, he has a natural sense of superiority.
There have been constant wars in the west in recent years, and there have been countless generals like Yu Song. He looks at these people like looking at fireworks, which are dazzling but fleeting.
Only families like them who have inherited the title, stationed in the southwest for generations and lived and died with the country, can be evergreen trees!
At the beginning, Xiao Yunjing was also very unconvinced, let alone Yu Song.
In his mind, the reason why Xiao Yunjing in the past and Yu Song now could stand in this position was not because they were so powerful, but because those in power were unwilling to use the Dong family.
Marquis Dongchuan was also very dissatisfied with Ning Wanyin's choice of Yu Song as the commander-in-chief.
He just needs a chance.
If Yu Song is greedy for merit and acts rashly, and suffers a crushing defeat, then he will have the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
"Tang Yuan is about to arrive in the southwest. Arrange someone to remind Yu Song that Tang Yuan is Ning Wanyin's cousin. If the ministers had not objected, the Ning family would have used him as the commander." A trace of sinister calculation flashed in Dongchuan Hou's eyes:
"If he can achieve a great victory before Tang Yuan arrives in the southwest, he can secure his position as commander-in-chief. Otherwise, it will be hard to say who will get the credit for the military achievement."
"Ning specially sent her cousin here. Did he really come to help him? Let him figure it out himself."
Marquis Dongchuan didn't believe that Ning was willing to support an unknown general and let his cousin assist him.
He guessed that when Tang Yuan arrived, all the credit for the battle would be attributed to Tang Yuan in various ways. And if they lost, the one who would take the blame would be Yu Song.
If Yu Song doesn't want to be a stepping stone for others, then he should have a fight before Tang Yuan arrives.
And this is the opportunity for Dongchuan Hou and others.
