C1975 Final volume
Heh! No one would have thought that when Li Shu promoted Yin Li from Captain to General Zheng, he would actually refuse, and even Tang Yin and Qing Yu looked at him with astonishment.
Li Shu was amused, he was angered by Yin Li's words, and asked: "Since you are not qualified to be a deputy general, I would actually like to hear what position you think you are capable of."
"This... This little one does not dare to say! " Yin Li lowered his head, looked up, and secretly looked at Li Shu.
"Stop hesitating and tell me. I won't blame you." Li Shu waved his hand impatiently.
Yin Li was silent for a long time, then he said carefully: "Great General!"
"What?" Li Shu didn't understand what he meant, and thought that Yin Li was calling him.
Yin Li said in a low voice: "The one and only qualified to be a lowly person is the position of the Great General."
When he said those words, Li Shu was stunned, the surrounding people were all stunned, they suspected that they heard wrongly. Even Tang Yin was stunned for a moment before regaining his senses, his face unconsciously revealing a smile.
If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't want to pay his respects, he would have definitely laughed out loud. This Yin Li was truly unusual, giving him the position of a deputy general was not that he was not competent, but that he was not satisfied, and that he actually wanted Li Shu's position, Great General, this was too interesting.
Thinking about it, the smile on Tang Yin's face disappeared, and he slowly frowned. He really could not see through Yin Li, was he too smart, or was he too stupid?
After a long while, one of the chaste generals roared angrily. He strode forward and fiercely grabbed Yin Li by the collar and shouted: "Yin Li, are you still thinking of openly rebelling?"
Yin Li's collar was grabbed by him tightly, strangling him to the point that he couldn't even breathe.
Seeing that, Li Shu frowned, even if Yin Li had the intention to seize the position, he still had to teach him a lesson, it was not the others. He shouted in dissatisfaction, "Don't meddle in my affairs, get down!"
The loyal general looked at Li Shu, then shot him a fierce glare before he slowly let go of Yin Li's collar and retreated to the side. Li Shu laughed as he looked at Yin Li, and asked: "Yin Li, you want the position of general? Where will the book go? "
Yin Li gasped for breath, then knelt on the ground and said with a trembling voice: "Great General is a descendant of a royal family, the only bloodline of the royal family, and also the future ruler of my Zhen Country. What Great General wants to rule is a nation, and not this army.
Hearing his words, the surrounding people finally calmed down a bit. So that was what he meant, it was not that he wanted to rebel and seize power, but he felt that the Great General was the master of the Zhen Country, but Yin Li's skin was just too thick, he actually wanted to take over and control the army. How could he be capable, he was just a thousand-man commander, he was only able to come up with a strategy that was reasonable enough to deal with Chuan Army.
"Yin Li, don't you dare talk big. The Great General is indeed the future king of my Zhen Country, but you are not the ruler of our forces!" Another Chastity General could not help but berate loudly.
Yin Li raised his head, looked at the loyal general who spoke, then looked at the rest of them and said sternly: "Could it be that you will control the army later? If you were to rule the army in a moment, how would the number of our soldiers change from two hundred thousand to sixty to seventy thousand? How could they hope for a crushing defeat in the Western Plains? Why would it hide in the Bainan County and be so afraid that it will attack? "
His string of questions rendered everyone speechless, even Li Shu's face flushed red with shame. He stared at Yin Li for a long time and asked: "Yin Li, does that mean you know how to rule the army?"
Yin Li steeled his heart, and said sternly: "Great General, this lowly one is willing to make a military order, if this one is unable to lead my army brothers to destroy the Chuan Army in one go, I am willing to use my head to apologize to the entire army!"
Ouch! What big words! Li Shu's eyes lit up, his face slowly revealed a smile.
Li Shu might not have the ability to manage the army, nor the ability to command the army in battle, but he still had other advantages. One, he was good at internal affairs, and two, he was good at watching others.
It could be said that he was the same as Tang Yin and her, and didn't understand Yin Li at all before, but he faintly felt that this person was someone who could shoulder a heavy responsibility. Perhaps, this unknown Yin Li could really lead the Generals And Soldiers of Self Army out of his predicament!
Thinking of this, Li Shu made a decision that even he himself felt was inconceivable. He said: "Yin Li, I would not be able to return the position of Great General to you but, I could have appointed you as commander in chief of our army, and all three armies could be commanded by you!"
"This lowly one thanks Great General for his grace! Don't worry Great General, I will not fail my mission! " As he spoke, as if afraid Li Shu would go back on his words, Yin Li kneeled on the ground and kowtowed three times.
Seeing this, the surrounding generals became anxious. The commander of the three armies was a commander whose success or failure would affect the lives of his men. How could they allow a small commander to take charge? This was too child's play.
Moreover, even if he wanted to be the commander of the three armies, he hadn't. How could it be Yin Li's turn? Everyone could not help but take a step forward and said anxiously, "Great General, think twice, what virtue or ability does Yin Li have to be able to lead our army?"
Great General, Yin Li might not even have fought in battles before, why should he be the commander?
All of the generals spoke out, expressing their opposition to Li Shu's decision. As a spectator, Tang Yin also felt that Li Shu's decision was too risky and radical, as if he was making a huge bet with the entire army.
Yin Li was talented, and the tactics he proposed this time were not bad, but how could he be sure that he wasn't just talk on paper? Right now, he could only say that he was an outstanding advisor. As for whether or not he was suitable to be the commander, he needed to verify it a little.
Of course, Tang Yin didn't want to interfere with the internal affairs of the Zhen Jun Army, since it had nothing to do with his Feng Country.2
Regarding the feelings of all the generals under his command, Li Shu could understand them, but he did not waver in his decision, and said in a deep voice: "I have made up my mind, so there is no need for everyone to persuade me anymore. Of course, if Yin Li only knows how to boast, make things difficult for the masses, and does not have any true skills, I will definitely punish him severely!"
Li Shu, with his superior strength, forcefully promoted Yin Li to the position of commander in chief of the entire army. This day was extremely important to Yin Li. It could even be said to be a day of ascension, and at the same time, it officially began the prelude to the battle where Yin Li commanded the Chastity Army to invade the north and south.
How could Generals of the Chastity Army be convinced? In front of Yin Li, they did not have the humble and respectful attitude of subordinates, but instead, they completely displayed their power and did not put him in their eyes.
The next morning, Yin Li suddenly started to exercise his right as the commander of the army, and gathered all of the soldiers for training.
However, the generals turned a deaf ear to his summons. Not one of them responded, all of them were sleeping soundly in their own tents.
After three hours of waiting, with no one coming, Yin Li decided not to wait anymore. He sent out the Personal Guard that Li Shu had given him and split up to head to the tents to capture people.
This caused a huge ruckus in the camp. It was bustling with noise and excitement.
None of these Generals s were from the regular army. Before they became part of the rebel army, most of them were bandits and had a vicious aura around them.
When Yin Li's Personal Guard had tied up all the generals in the military arena, curses filled the air. All the generals had reddened faces and thick necks, and scolded whatever ugly things they heard, greeting all eighteen generations of Yin Li's ancestors several times.
Yin Li was not angry, and did not waste any more words with the other generals, he calmly ordered his men to call the executioners over, and passed down the order, when the afternoon was up, all the generals who did not listen to the order would be beheaded.
Until now, the generals still had not thought much of it. They thought that Yin Li was the new official who could get whatever he wanted and act as if he wanted to to scare them off, so he didn't really dare to kill them.
But at noon, Yin Li did not have any intentions of letting them go, he had truly ordered his executioners to prepare to kill them, even the food and wine were all prepared for the generals, and at that time, the people all felt that something was amiss, Yin Li had come for real.
All the generals at the commander level and above were captured by Yin Li and tied up in the military arena to be slaughtered. This matter was too big, and they had long ago gone to the city to report it to Li Shu. After Li Shu heard this, he was also shocked. He hastily left the city and rushed to the Zhen Jun camp.
When he reached the Zhen Camp, he just happened to be in time to receive Yin Li's command to execute all the generals. Li Shu was so scared that his face turned pale and he screamed for his to stop on the spot.
and Yin Li had a serious disagreement on whether to kill these generals who disobeyed their orders. According to Yin Li's intentions, those who disobeyed his orders would become the villains in the army, and their harm to the army would be far greater than the enemy. They could not be left alive.
These generals were either regiment commanders or partial generals. It could be said that they were the backbone of the Chastity Army, if they were killed, the Chastity Army would collapse, so how could they fight in the future?
In addition, all the generals were Li Shu's old brothers. They followed him as he started the battle and resisted the backbone of the Chuan Country. No matter whether it was in public or private, he could not let Yin Li kill them.
Yin Li insisted on carrying out the execution, but Li Shu strongly opposed it. The two started off with an argument and slowly turned into a quarrel, and in the end, both of them had red faces and thick necks. The sounds of argument could even be vaguely heard by the people around the military arena.
None of the generals thought that Yin Li, who had just leapt into the sky, would actually have such guts, to dare openly argue with the Great General, and dared to publicly question the authority of the Great General. Seeing how the Great General was finding it difficult to get down from the tiger in front of him, and looking both anxious and helpless, all of the generals lowered their heads.
