Chapter 1458 Zhao Ji's Actions

Liaozhou frontier.

The 100,000-strong army led by Zhao Ji was already ready.

With just a command from Zhao Ji, the 100,000-strong army would launch a full-scale attack on Lob Tenzin's troops.

Behind them were the troops originally stationed in Liaozhou and Liangzhou, who were also Zhao Ji's old subordinates.

But now, these 100,000 troops have only one mission, which is to ensure the supply of food and grass for the army in front.

Faced with such a result, the 100,000 troops in the rear could only smile bitterly.

They were once the main force defending Xiqu.

But now, they have become a troop escorting food and fodder.

It's almost the same as a commoner.

However, even so, they have no temper.

There is no way, because the 100,000 troops in front are truly elite soldiers who have experienced many battles.

Zhao Ji had received Yun Zheng's order to launch an attack the day before yesterday, but Zhao Ji kept his troops in place and only sent out a large number of scouts to keep an eye on the movements of Lob Tenzin's troops.

Zhao Ji's choice caused dissatisfaction among many generals in the army.

In the past two days, many generals have come to Zhao Ji to ask for battle.

Today, several generals came to ask for battle.

Among them were Zhou Mi and Wei Yu.

These two men were supposed to be leading the troops in the camp fifty miles away, but now they ran directly to the central army.

When they arrived, many generals in the central army also came to Zhao Ji to ask for battle.

"General Zhao, it's been two days, why don't you attack?"

"Your Highness has already ordered the attack, why is General Zhao not moving?"

"General Zhao, don't you know that Your Highness is only leading 50,000 troops deep into the enemy's territory? If the enemy mobilizes a large force to surround Your Highness and his men, we will all be blamed for our deaths!"

"If General Zhao is afraid of fighting, you can let General Qu and General Pang lead us!"

"Is General Zhao deliberately keeping his troops in place in order to put Your Highness in danger?"

"..."

By the end, everyone's words were becoming more and more intense.

Judging from their posture, if Zhao Ji doesn't lead his troops to attack, they will launch a military rebellion.

However, Zhao Ji was neither angry nor explained.

It was as if he didn't hear what they said.

"Shut up, everyone!"

Qu Zhi shouted angrily to calm the generals, "What do you want to do? When to attack, General Zhao will decide!"

Zhou Mi was furious and said angrily, "General Qu, His Highness has been very kind to you. Do you want to see His Highness fall into danger?"

Qu Zhi didn't say anything, but slowly walked up to Zhou Mi.

The next moment, Qu Zhi suddenly raised his foot.

Bang!

Qu Zhi kicked Zhou Mi hard and knocked him to the ground.

As he turned around, Pang Jinjiu kicked Wei Yu down.

Qu Zhi's sudden outburst startled everyone.

"You have abandoned your troops without permission and dared to gather in the central army to cause trouble. Do you really think I can't kill you?"

Qu Zhi was furious, and his eyes were like knives as he scanned the two of them: "Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you are the elders around His Highness! This is the army, not a place for you to run wild!"

"okay!"

Zhao Ji finally spoke, looking up at Qu Zhi: "Qu Zhi, I order you to go to Zhou Mi and Wei Yu's troops immediately and take over their military power! Come, take Zhou Mi and Wei Yu..."

"Zhao Shuai, wait!"

Qu Zhi glared at the two men unhappily, and then pleaded for them, "They are also worried about the safety of Your Highness, and they are a little confused for a moment! Why not give them fifty military sticks first, and then punish them after this battle is over."

These two people can be considered his old subordinates.

Although he really wanted to beat up these two reckless bastards, he still pleaded for mercy when it was time.

These two people wanted to make a contribution several years ago.

Now that their military power has been taken away, they will have no chance to make meritorious contributions.

Zhao Ji was silent for a moment.

After a while, Zhao Ji nodded and agreed: "Since you asked, let them remember it first!"

"Thank you, Zhao Shuai!"

Qu Zhi thanked them and glared at them fiercely: "Why don't you thank Zhao Shuai quickly?"

Facing Qu Zhi's gaze, the two of them couldn't help but feel frightened.

After hesitating for a moment, the two men stood up and saluted Zhao Ji: "Thank you... Zhao Shuai!"

Qu Zhi and Pang Jinjiu's attitudes had already made them smell something unusual.

These two are old men who have followed His Highness all the way here. There should be no need to doubt their loyalty to His Highness.

Zhao Ji did not take any action, and even they did not say anything, which could only mean that they also agreed with the reasons why Zhao Ji did not take any action.

"Get back here right now, Marshal!"

Zhao Ji suddenly exploded, his face full of frost as he shouted: "If you dare to violate military regulations again, even if His Highness is standing here, I will sacrifice your heads to the flag!"

"Yes!"

The two men didn't dare to say anything more and immediately left.

After driving away Zhou Mi and Wei Yu, the two leaders, Zhao Ji glanced at the other generals with a cold face: "Everyone will be punished with fifty military sticks for the time being, and we will punish them after the battle!"

Everyone responded in unison and immediately left the central military tent.

Watching everyone leave, Zhao Ji couldn't help but sigh softly.

Ugh!

This bunch of arrogant and powerful generals are really not easy to deal with!

Fortunately, he had two deputy generals, Pang Jinjiu and Qu Zhi, otherwise he would not be able to control these arrogant and powerful generals.

No wonder His Highness did not let the two of them lead the army directly, but instead let them serve him.

I guess His Highness kept them here to help him suppress these arrogant and powerful soldiers.

After sighing, Zhao Ji ordered Qu Zhi: "Go and see off your two old subordinates!"

"no need!"

Qu Zhi shook his head and said, "They are too concerned and confused, and they don't think too much! After this commotion, they should be able to figure it out."

"really."

Pang Jinjiu nodded slightly, and then asked Zhao Ji: "Why doesn't Zhao Shuai explain the reason directly to everyone?"

In fact, he and Qu Zhi both understood Zhao Ji's thoughts.

Once His Highness leads his troops to attack Gongbu, Lobsang Tenzin's troops will definitely come back to support, or even retreat completely!

When Lobsang Tenzin's troops want to move, that's when they will attack.

Zhao Ji wanted to make Lob Tenzin's troops withdraw, but he couldn't. He also had no choice but to withdraw!

The more this happens, the more the enemy will panic and make mistakes.

And they can seize the opportunity to inflict heavy damage on the enemy.

“What’s the point of explaining it to them?

Zhao Ji frowned, "I must make the generals below obey orders unconditionally! Otherwise, I will have to explain every order I give to the generals below. How can we fight this war?"

He can indeed explain.

But he couldn't explain.

I explained it this time, but what about next time?

The army he led was almost entirely Yun Zheng's direct troops.

He had some unpleasantness with Yun Zheng in the past, and was directly promoted to the position of Left Marshal by Yun Zheng.

If there is anything they don't understand, they will probably think that I am trying to harm His Highness.

Once the two armies officially engage in battle, there will be many things they don’t understand!

Every order has to be explained to them repeatedly. What if we miss the opportunity to fight?

Listening to Zhao Ji's words, the two couldn't help but smile helplessly.

indeed!

Although Zhao Ji was appointed as the Left Marshal, he was still an outsider to many people in the army.

Many generals in the army did not recognize Zhao Ji as the left-wing marshal.
