The executioner of Dayu, the beginning of the torture of the demon fiancée Chapter 369: "Eldest sister, please live with me and Anle"

"What are you talking about..."

Hearing his rude words, Shan Xin also looked sullen.

Zhao Cuo would not stand and listen to her scolding, so he quickly got out of the car and got on the horse.

The Royal City of Huainan was right in front of him. He looked at the towering city wall, and there were many soldiers lined up below.

"I'll wait and see General Zhao!"

"That's all."

Mr. Zhao rode his horse to the open city gate.

The Confederate generals who came out of the city to greet him immediately bowed respectfully.

He didn't put up any airs, he got off his horse quickly and helped the generals up.

"General Soldier, when I return to Beijing to report on my duties, you and the generals have worked hard to guard the front line."

Zhao Thief smiled gently and said to Zhao Yuanqing, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Army.

"Being an official is just fulfilling your duties."

"And General Wu..."

Zhao Cuo once again encouraged Wu Chongxing and other generals.

When he returned to Beijing this time, many generals of the Southern Army received rewards due to his request for merit, and several of them were granted the title of marquis or uncle.

How many people in the world do not pursue fame and wealth? The subordinates know that following the general has meat to eat, so of course the 300,000-strong army will follow his lead.

"General, please come into the city. The reception banquet has been held. We have military affairs to report to you."

"Let's go."

Zhao Cuo mounted his horse and entered the city with many generals.

He doesn't have time to meet his eldest sister and Anle now.

After arranging for them to go to the palace, he also had a banquet with his generals in a hall outside the palace, but the so-called banquet on the front line was actually to discuss military matters.

"General, the dragon army has landed in southern Xinjiang. They have united with the southern barbarian tribes and colluded with the deposed emperor of the six countries. They have become a serious problem."

General Zhao took the lead and spoke to Zhao Thief who was sitting upright.

"I heard that the leader of the Dragon Clan's army this time is their prince, right?"

Mr. Zhao said unhurriedly that he also understood the situation of the half of southern Xinjiang that had not yet been captured, and the problem was not small.

"Exactly, this beast's name is Shi Xu, and he and Guyue from the Dahe region in southern Xinjiang jointly control the bandit army."

Zhao Yuanqing nodded solemnly.

"The current news is that their true strength is around 60,000 to 70,000."

Zhao Cuo sat up straight, his expression already obviously cold. The eldest sister is still under constant threat from the Dragon Clan.

"General Wu has told you all my thoughts, right? I want to pacify the South China Sea first, and then use water conservancy to suppress the rebels of the six countries."

He conveyed this intention to Wu Chongxing two days ago.

But he also knew that he couldn't make a decision with just one word.

He must also take responsibility for the lives of his soldiers.

"What do you think?"

Mr. Zhao asked.

"Disaster."

Zhao Yuanqing exhaled and said.

"If we concentrate our forces and go south, Emperor Yongzhao will inevitably divide his forces to attack Huainan and Ningxi Prefecture at the same time. If we are not careful, we will lose everything."

Naturally, he did not completely deny General Zhao's strategy. After talking about the disadvantages, he continued.

"But if this plan works, great things can be expected!"

According to the commander-in-chief said seriously.

"After we seize the South China Sea, the rebel party's tendency to attack our army from both front and back will no longer exist. It will be difficult to gain momentum with the troops in the hands of the deposed emperor."

"We can also launch a two-sided offensive against the six countries through the South China Sea, and transporting food will no longer be a problem."

"This plan may work."

Generals here, please speak to me.

They can all see that such huge gains must also come with huge risks.

If we cannot defeat the Southern Xinjiang and Dragon Clan before Ningxi Mansion falls, half of the advantage we gained last year will be lost. We must not underestimate the enemy and advance rashly.

"It will get warmer in another half month. I would like all generals to work together and come up with a feasible strategy."

Zhao Cuo said something that almost sealed the strategic direction.

The biggest problem for him to attack the Dragon Clan first is Ningxi Mansion.

If the former Ning State was taken back, the consequences would be disastrous, and he wanted Wu Chongxing to go there personally to take charge.

"Everyone has worked hard today. Please go down and rest. We will discuss it tomorrow."

Mr. Zhao said after drinking for three rounds.

"General Wu, stay here for a while."

He called his most important confidant in the Confederate army.

"General, if you have anything to do, just give me your orders. I will go through fire and water without hesitation. I am willing to die for you."

After the other generals retreated, Wu Chongxing knelt down on one knee in front of him without hesitation and performed a military salute meticulously.

He was extremely respectful to his great supporter. After all, since he started working for Zhao Thief, his promotion rate could not be stopped at all.

Now he is not only ranked as the Chief of Staff of the Southern Army, but also has been granted the title of Third-Rank Marquis. General Zhao's priority in his heart has now surpassed that of the Queen Mother.

"Get up, why should we be so polite between you and me? Come sit across from me."

Zhao Cuo said in a friendly tone.

"As commanded."

Wu Chongxing sat opposite him respectfully.

"I told you when I was in Jiangnan that I wanted you to return to the post of General Ningxi to deal with Emperor Yongzhao's offensive."

Mr. Zhao went straight to the point. He still recognized the ability of the military commander, and this man was a general in Ningxi Mansion before.

"The general will naturally obey the order of the general. I will guard Ningxi Mansion for you. If you don't come to see me, when will I leave for the southwest?"

Wu Chongxing lowered his head and said without hesitation.

"good!"

Thief Zhao nodded somewhat moved.

Going to Ningxi Mansion is definitely a fatal errand.

They are going south with all their strength, and Emperor Yongzhao will definitely take the opportunity to regain the former Ning Kingdom and join forces with the Gu tribe.

"Your fierce loyalty to the country is seen by this general. After the rebellion in the south is put down, I will definitely ask you to report to the East Palace. You will be a duke."

Zhao Cuo's promise is still very weighty. He will grant Wu Chongxing a dukedom, and a bad woman will not have any objections to this matter.

"It's hard to repay the general's kindness even if he's just ruined!"

General Tong Kong stood up tremblingly and saluted.

Dayu was extremely cautious in granting titles, and no title could be given without military merit. After the founding of the country, few people were granted the title of duke.

If he wins this battle, he will become the top powerful man in Dayu from now on, and his descendants will be able to enjoy wealth and honor in the capital of Dayu for generations.

"Go and prepare. We will leave in two days. The official document appointing you as General of Ningxi will come out soon. You will also serve as Governor of Jingning and Prime Minister of Military Affairs."

General Zhao said softly, choosing to give him the power. After the war started, Southwest needed someone who could have the final say.

"I will never let you down, your honor!"

Wu Chongxing said respectfully.

He felt that Zhao Thief was really powerful.

Instead of just appointing generals in charge of one government at will, a governor of Jingning was directly established to take charge of the two prefectures of Jingxi and Ningxi.

'Zheng Guogong is now the governor of Liangjiang. Am I equal to him in terms of official position? Will the Queen Mother agree with the general's intention?'

When Wu Chongxing thought about this, he felt that he was worrying too much. The family, country and the world were now in the hands of Mr. Zhao, and this was all given to him by the Empress Dowager of the East Palace.

The trust between the monarch and his minister must be far beyond his imagination.

Zhao Thief is now in charge of the military affairs in the south.

"You go and rest."

Zhao Cuo warned him a few more words and then let him go.

He was sitting alone in the hall, his face vaguely worried. There were too many things on his mind now.

The war cannot be lost, and the eldest sister is threatened by the dragon clan anytime and anywhere, and the only way to break the situation is to win this battle.
To be continued...
