After breakfast the next day, the generals of various departments gathered at the Central Army where Yang Guozhu was located to discuss matters.

Yang Guozhu looked at Wu Sangui, He Renlong, and then looked at Wang Tingchen and Liu Zhaoji. He really didn't know who should lead the troops first, so he could only ask:

"Dear generals, under the orders of Emperor Shenwu, we will launch a tentative attack on Rufeng Mountain today. I wonder which general is willing to be the vanguard?"

After Yang Guozhu said that, everyone bowed their heads and said nothing. It was obvious that a large number of Jiannu were ambushed in Rufeng Mountain, and no one wanted to lead his troops to die.

In the late Ming Dynasty, all the generals were able to fight their own servants. After Shenwu ascended the throne, he was strictly prohibited from deducting military pay and raising private soldiers. Now their servants are almost all raised out of their own pockets.

If the servants suffer too much casualties, their strength will be greatly reduced, and the position of the general without strength in the Ming Dynasty will also decline.

Zhu Cixuan has not many generals selected this time, He Renlong has only more than 100 personal soldiers, and the other Qin soldiers are all under Sun Chuanting's command and are trained by Li Shouting.

Therefore, He Renlong did not have much concern about the casualties under his command, but he was a little dissatisfied with Yang Guozhu's command, but he did not dare to reveal anything.

As long as Yang Guozhu doesn't directly order him to take the lead, He Renlong will not be able to make a first move, and Gao Jie doesn't have many people, let alone speak.

Although Wang Tingchen and Liu Zhaoji are both loyal ministers, they have less than 10,000 people in total. Once the army goes deeper, they will definitely be surrounded and annihilated by Jiannu. They want to see the situation before making a decision.

Among the more than 10,000 people under Wu Sangui's command, only three thousand servants can fight the most. These three thousand people are the support of their Wu family. He must not let any major casualties occur under his command, and he will not take the initiative to ask for battle.

Among these people, the one who dissatisfied with Yang Guozhu was Wu Sangui. Liaodong was the territory of their Wu family and Zu family. If Lu Xiangsheng and Hong Chengchou and others were the head coach, Wu Sangui would have no objection.

But Yang Guozhu was the most dissatisfied with being the head coach of this battle. He also had the intention of seeing Yang Guozhu joked in his heart, so he lowered his head and said nothing on the surface, which meant that Yang Guozhu would fight as much as he commanded them!

Although Wu Sangui and He Renlong and others were a little dissatisfied with Yang Guozhu as the pioneer commander of Jinzhou's rescue, they would never dare to violate the orders of Emperor Shenwu.

It is not because of Yang Guozhu's words that they rushed to lead their troops to die. Who, as the first vanguard to attack Rufeng Mountain, began to have a difficult delivery today.

No matter how much power Zhu Cilang gave Yang Guozhu, Yang Guozhu was just a general, and there was no problem with him leading his command to charge.

But it is indeed a bit unwilling to be able to command these generals. You should know that those who commanded these generals in the past were people like Yuan Chonghuan, Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng, and others with high power positions.

Seeing that no one expressed their opinions, Yang Guozhu could guess what they were thinking. To be honest, he knew that these thorns were difficult to deal with. If Emperor Shenwu had not asked him to be the commander, Yang Guozhu would not have taken the initiative to stand up soon.

Yang Guozhu frowned, and then quietly opened a note given to him by Emperor Shenwu, and saw that only two words were written on the note:

"Get lots!"

Yang Guozhu didn't understand the meaning of the note for a while, and after pondering for a moment, he suddenly realized that the wise Emperor Shenwu had long expected the situation today. This was to remind him to use the method of drawing lots to dispatch troops...

He quietly put away the note and then smiled:

"Everyone, since you don't want to take the lead, I won't force it. Let's decide who will take the lead according to the order of drawing lots. What do you think?"

"ah……"

Wu Sangui and others were stunned when they heard this. They had never heard of the lottery they had to draw in wars. They did not expect that they would be used by Yang Guozhu today. Although it sounded very frustrating, it felt that it was the best result for the generals.

He Renlong was the first to stand up to express his support:

"Okay, the way to draw lots is very good. We He Renlong support General Yang's proposal!"

Gao Jie is a bandit, and his troops have the least strength. They have always been worried that these veteran generals will oppress him. Once he is sent to the forefront, will Gao Jie dare to resist the order?

Emperor Shenwu Shang Fang’s sword is here, so he absolutely dared not let go of a single fart. He could only lead his command to take the lead. It was no surprise that he was ambushed several times Jiannu and killed instantly.

Hearing that he decided to send troops by drawing lots, he immediately stood up and folded his fists:

"Yang Shuai's method is good, and I will support Yang Shuai's decision!"

Yang Guozhu proposed a way to draw lots, and He Renlong and Gao Jie immediately expressed their support. Liu Zhaoji and Wang Tingchen would certainly not have any objections, and Li Fuming would not object.

Although Wu Sangui felt that this method might become a post-war joke, he also knew that using lottery decisions at this time was Yang Guozhu's best choice, and he later expressed his support.

In fact, Zhu Cilang had long guessed what these people were thinking. The generals in history have fought against Jiannu for many times.

If they could unite and fight to the death, Jiannu would never dare to be so unscrupulous in the capital, so before Yang Guozhu left, he gave him a note so that Yang Guozhu would transfer troops and generals in the way of drawing lots when he encountered difficulties.

Seeing that everyone agreed to draw lots, Yang Guozhu rubbed his hands and said with a smile:

"Okay, then draw lots and someone comes to bring paper and pen."

"Here!"

The Central Army immediately brought pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Although Yang Guozhu didn't know how to write a few numbers, there was no problem with writing a few numbers.

He wrote several numbers 1234567, and then put them in a cloth bag:

"I will write a few simple numbers and grab the lead of "one". The other generals will follow closely in order. If anyone dares to work but not work, I will definitely impeach him to Emperor Shenwu!"

"Don't worry, Yang Shuai is in a position to suppress the formation. Who dares to resist the order and refuse to obey? Let's start!"

Yang Guozhu nodded:

"Come on, each person catches a piece of paper. No, no, no, no, no, no, who will come first?"

"I'll come first!"

In order to seize the opportunity, Gao Jie led his hand to grab a piece of paper. He was worried that he would catch "one". He did not dare to look at the numbers on the note. He closed his eyes and slowly opened the note and asked the general beside him:

"Come on, see what numbers are written?"

"Oh, I'll take a look..."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! The general took the note and looked at it, then smiled awkwardly:

"Boss, I can't read..."

Wu Sangui and the others looked at Gao Jie, hoping that Gao Jie would capture "Yi" at once, so that the few people behind them would not have to worry.

But when he heard the general talking, Wu Sangui and others almost burst into laughter...

There are many illiterate generals and officials who are all under Gao Jie's command, so it is normal not to recognize "Yi".

Gao Jie kicked the gang general in the butt and scolded:

"Why do you need to answer the notes if you don't know each other? Let the literate brothers take a look!"

Before Gao Jie finished speaking, a literate guerrilla general next to him suddenly laughed:

"Boss, what you caught was "five" hehe..."

Gao Jie then opened his eyes and snatched the note. Although he didn't know much, he still knew a few numbers. When he saw a big "five-word" he immediately opened his mouth:

"Really, it's great, hahaha..."

Wu Sangui and others originally hoped that Gao Jie would catch the first place, but they actually caught the fifth place, and their hearts suddenly became hanged in their hearts.

Several people looked at the cloth bag in Yang Guozhu's hand, and they were a little afraid to reach out, as if there was a poisonous snake in the cloth bag...

Yang Guozhu patted the cloth bag and said with a smile:

"Everyone, hurry up and catch it!"

"Let's catch me..."

He Renlong glanced at Gao Jie, immediately reached into the cloth bag and grabbed a piece of paper, and then handed the piece of paper to the deputy general beside him:

"Open and take a look!"

"Here!"

The deputy general immediately opened the paper ball:

"Master, you are catching "three"

He Renlong was not very satisfied with the result. He wanted to catch the "six", but it was better than the first place. He sighed and stopped talking. Who could blame him for arresting him?

Then Wang Tingchen was arrested fourth, Liu Zhaoji was arrested seventh, Yang Guozhu was arrested sixth, Wu Sangui and Li Fuming were waiting for the first place to appear, deliberately waiting until the end to catch him.

When the good numbers were captured one after another, and only the first and second numbers were left, Wu Sangui and Li Fuming's faces began to turn pale.
