Chapter 559: My Lord! ( words of atonement!)

As a staff member who had just joined the rebel camp, Xun Pu had also been observing the Tang bandits.

A thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find.

Lords and marshals who can lead all the princes are even rarer. Such people are either wise rulers in a peaceful era or heroes in troubled times.

Without exception.

The Tang bandits are composed of several forces, including the remnants of the Tang family loyal to Tang Li, and the iron-eating beast army led by Xiaopang.

Qin's Tianlang Army, Shen Qingping's Dushan Army, and Lu's logistical support.
Of course, there is also the Princess Party.

Well, those who were promoted by Zhong Daolong and the city lord and city guard general of Golden City who were called upon by Phoenix to surrender the city, as well as the military and political leaders of the occupied Red Moon City, are naturally closer to Phoenix.

Because they were originally generals appointed by the Zhong royal family, eating salaries provided by the government and enjoying all the benefits of the privileged class.
Now that he has been recruited by Her Royal Highness the Princess, it doesn't count as changing allegiance.

Aren’t all of them from the Zhong family?

If loyalty is preserved, reputation will also be preserved.

If someone like Shen Qingping committed suicide and killed prisoners on the road as a token of surrender, his reputation would be completely ruined. If the Tang bandits were defeated in the future, his end would be extremely miserable.

The scale is small and the number of people is small, but a complete competing team has taken shape.

Tang Fei is the leader and brain of this team. His military talent and ability to command people will determine the success or failure and life or death of this team.

Since Xun Pu has joined the team, he naturally hopes that he can give advice and suggestions to help the team win the final victory.

Instead of dying halfway and leaving no intact body.

The Tang bandits used Shen Qingping as a spy and imprisoned all the high-ranking members of the Dushan Army.
It only proves that he has no shame.

However, he then used Dushan as the boundary and led his army to capture Golden City without bloodshed and stormed Red Moon City. He also gained the upper hand in the war of public opinion with Shen Wuxiang and was far ahead.
Xun Pu knew that this young general was a bit too much.
No, he should be called a marshal or lord, who is broad-minded and resourceful.

Listening to what he said just now, it was well-reasoned, with rewards and punishments, setting goals, and shouting slogans.
Looking at the excited and eager expressions on the faces of those equally young generals present, you can tell that they have a strong resonance in their hearts.

Even the experienced and prudent city lords and generals defending the city had smiles on their faces, and were warmed by Tang Fei's words.

Whatever you see, you conquer!
Maybe they still have a chance to become the first batch of ministers to follow the dragon.
This was also the first time that Tang Fei publicly expressed his political views and strategic intentions.

See you in the picture!

That's great.

If you don't raise the battle flag, how can others gather around you?

If you don't wave the flag and shout, who will know what you want to do?
Everyone is fighting with you with their heads on the line, but you have to know why you are fighting? What is our ultimate goal and what results have we achieved?
The leader must first find his own position, so that the people below can find their own positions.

For example, Xun Pu himself.
If Tang Fei wants to be the emperor, then he must enter the Grand Council, right?

If Tang Fei's own goal is to enter the Grand Council, then he must quickly find a way to escape.

They have no place.

The bigger a person's vision is, the wider his future path will be.

Xun Pu was quite satisfied with his new lord Tang Fei. He gave him everything he wanted.

I never thought that he had it, but he also had it.
For example, shamelessness.

"Everyone who sees will be conquered. This is a good sentence, and it is majestic. From now on, it will be the slogan of our Dushan Army." Shen Qingping said excitedly.

"How did it become the military bugle of your Dushan Army? Our Tianlang Army also wants to use this as its military soul. It is a perfect match made in heaven when placed together with our Tianlang Army's Tianlang flag." Qin Jianyi also wanted to snatch this sentence.

One is to flatter Tang Fei. If Tang Fei becomes the king in the future, and the military spirit of the Tianlang Army is the slogans shouted by Tang Fei, then wouldn't the Tianlang Army become the king's personal army?

This status must be on par with the Fengwu Army.
Although the Fengwu Army was not doing well and was infiltrated like a sieve by various major families, the positions of the three ace legions of the empire have never changed.

This is not just a battle of reputation, but also about personnel equipment, welfare benefits and promotion system. We give you the best of everything.

Comprehensive preferential treatment, far ahead.

Who wouldn't want to go in?
In addition, Qin Jianyi also felt that this sentence was very suitable for their Tianlang Army.

The flag of the Sirius Army is a black wolf with bared fangs and eyes flashing with ghostly lights. It looks ferocious and seems to be able to tear all opponents to pieces.

Well, it's very offensive.

If the battle slogan 'All that is seen, all conquered' is added, wouldn't the Sirius Army be more worthy of its name?
Doesn’t it look more ferocious?

"I think it is more suitable for us barbarians." Xiaopang smiled naively.

The barbarians rushed forward, leading the way.

Go forward and conquer.

Advance and conquer
This is the battle history of the barbarians.

Xiaopang felt that this slogan of his was tailor-made for their Iron-eating Beast Legion.
"hiss"

Seeing that Xiaopang was also interested, I gasped.

Everyone knows that Xiaopang doesn't fight or compete, but as long as he opens his mouth, no one can snatch it from him.

"Don't argue about this." Tang Fei waved his hand and said, "The main reason I called everyone here today is to discuss the next offensive strategy."

"My personal idea is to take Fengcheng directly, and then use Fengcheng and Hongyue City as strongholds to attack Jinxiu City in the middle. What do you think?"

Qin Jianyi frowned slightly, looked at Tang Fei and asked, "Fengcheng is in the southeast corner, with Liyu Port behind it. If we want to attack Fengcheng, we must beware of Jinxiu City attacking from behind and cutting off our retreat."

"Moreover, even if we gain a certain advantage, Fengcheng will be able to mobilize naval forces for support."

"We advance, they retreat. We retreat, and they can attack again. It's hard to really occupy them."

Qin Jian spread his hands and said helplessly: "After all, we don't have a navy."

"We have taken over Golden City and Red Moon City one after another, so Shen Wuxiang will naturally be on guard. I'm afraid that a large-scale armed force is approaching this side. Carp Port is the top priority. They definitely don't want to see the port fall into our hands, so they will naturally send a large army to guard it."

He Hongyu also echoed: "If we rush out now, we might run into them head-on. In terms of numbers? We can't win."

"Yes. We must keep enough people to guard the two cities of Red Moon and Gold to prevent Shen Wuxiang's men from taking advantage of the situation and snatching away the fruits of our victory."

"We have to send our main force to attack Fengcheng and face the naval support from Liyu Port."

"We are fighting on three fronts. With our current military strength, it is too risky."

Yuan Minghui, the general defending Huangjin City, also expressed a different opinion.

Sure enough, just as Phoenix had worried, there were many obstacles.

Tang Fei looked around and asked with a smile: "Does anyone have a different opinion?"

Everyone was silent.

Shen Qingping is determined to follow Tang Fei until the end, and he will do whatever Tang Fei says.

No other comments.

Chubby
Not to mention Xiaopang.

Even if Tang Fei asked him to lead the army of iron-eating beasts to attack Phoenix City now, he would not hesitate.

Suicide attack?
No, big brother must want me to catch them by surprise.

Before closing my eyes, I have to apologize to Tang Fei. Brother, I'm sorry, I didn't do what you asked me to do.
Tang Fei looked at Xun Pu and asked with a smile: "Mr. Xun, you are the old leader of the Dushan Army, and you have rich combat and command experience. What do you think?"

Xun Pu put down the teacup in his hand, knowing that his new boss was going to test him.

He not only needs to test his strategic vision, but also whether he can help him settle the matter.

What are we going to settle now?
Of course, it is to convince those dissidents.

Among this group of young generals, Xun Pu is more like a kind elder.

He looked at everyone with a smile and asked, "What if, I mean, we attack Jinxiu City instead of Fengcheng, what will happen?"

Qin Jianyi pondered for a moment and said, "Jinxiu City was originally an important city, and the empire's most elite troops were stationed there. This time, Wang Botao led a hundred thousand troops to support us, and placed the command center in Jinxiu City."

"When we attacked Red Moon City, he led 40,000 people to support us, but tens of thousands of people were still left in the Jinxiu City camp."

"According to my estimation, Jinxiu City now has at least 100,000 troops and a basalt protective shield."

"We cleverly cracked the protective shield of Red Moon City last time, which will surely make them fearful and on guard. Can we crack the protective shield of Splendid City this time?"

"If we can't break the protective shield of this S-class city, how can we break through? How can we break into Jinxiu City?"

"What's even more terrible is that Fengcheng is right next to Jinxiu City. What if they attack us from the side while we are attacking Jinxiu City?"

"Jinxiu City is facing the enemy head-on, Fengcheng is attacking from the side, and there are also support forces at the port. This battle cannot be won."

After Qin Jianyi finished speaking, Xun Pu looked at everyone and asked, "Does anyone else have any ideas?"

silence.

What Qin Jianyi said was exactly what everyone was thinking.

"The situation is now clear." Xun Pu's smile gradually faded, and he said, "The current situation is that Fengcheng is not a good option, and Jinxiucheng is not a good option either. The road ahead is blocked. What should we do?"

"Hold still? Wait until Shen Wuxiang is free and launches a thundering attack with a million troops. Can we stop them with just the two cities we occupy?"

"It's unstoppable." Xun Pu tapped the table lightly with his fingers and said in a deep voice, "We must occupy more cities or ports as quickly as possible to gain more bargaining chips and resources."

Whether it is mineral resources, military manufacturing, or human resources.

Everyone knows that only by occupying the city can a steady supply of troops be generated.

One will be a million bones.

You have to find a way to get enough bones first.
Of course, we can't say it so bluntly.

It doesn't sound good if it gets out.

"Based on my understanding of Shen Wuxiang, this propaganda war has completely angered him. It's just that because of the involvement of the two battlefields of Zhaoling and the Desolate Land, he can't send too many troops from the Qishan camp to attack."

"Of course, it's mainly because he underestimated us. This is our biggest chance. So, we must go out at this time, attack, and attack again."

"It's impossible to wait. So, everyone, here comes the question. Should we attack Jinxiu City or Fengcheng?"

"."

Everyone looked at each other.

Xun Pu's words turned the multiple-choice question into a compulsory question.

If we have to choose a city to launch an attack, should we choose Jinxiu City or Fengcheng?
The answer suddenly seemed simple.

Tang Fei was very satisfied with Xun Pu's performance, but he remained calm and said with a smile: "Everyone, is there any result?"

"I choose Fengcheng." Qin Jian said aloud.

"I also choose Fengcheng." He said to Hongyu.

"Comparing the two, Fengcheng does have a better chance of winning."

"Fengcheng."
-
After everyone expressed their opinions, Tang Fei said in a deep voice: "Everyone, we fought very smoothly in the early stage, but it does not mean that we can always be so successful."

"Should we fight when we encounter difficulties? We must fight, we must fight with gritted teeth, and fight with all our might."

"War means sacrifice, death and even failure. However, we must dare to draw the sword and charge at them."

"We will kill anyone who stands in our way. We only need to remember one thing: when two brave men meet in a narrow road, the brave one will win." "When two brave men meet in a narrow road, the brave one will win." Everyone shouted in unison, with great momentum.

Bandit Tang stood up, pointed at the virtual electronic map in front of him, and began to issue orders: "Gongshu Lei will lead the first, second and third battalions of the Iron-eating Beast Legion as the vanguard."

"Yes." Xiaopang stood up and responded.

Since his eldest brother was calling him by his real name, he had to be serious too.

"Shen Qingping leads the 1st and 2nd Divisions of the Dushan Army to launch a frontal attack. I don't care what method you use, you must tear open the gate of Fengcheng for me."

"Yes." Shen Qingping stood up and saluted with a serious expression.

"Lu Zhiyong led the Dushan Army's Third Division to provide artillery support to the Iron-eating Beast Corps from high altitude."

"Yes." Lu Zhiyong also stood up and saluted.

"Lu Siyu, you lead the intelligent brain team to attack Fengcheng's defenses. If possible, remove their protective shield."

"Yes." Lu Siyu responded coldly, and even glanced at Qin Jian on purpose.

Just now, when Qin Jian said that they might not be able to break through the Fengcheng protective shield, she was already feeling very angry.

Just wait and I will let you know who is the true uncrowned king of the Internet world.

"."Qin Jianyi.

I think I have offended someone?
"Qin Jianyi, you are responsible for guarding the two cities of Red Moon and Gold, and guarding our rear area. No matter what, you have to keep an eye on our belongings. What you eat must not be taken out by anyone."

"As long as the city is here, I am here. If the city is lost, I will die." Qin Jian stood up, saluted, and signed a military order.

Xun Pu looked at Qin Jianyi in surprise and thought, this guy also has ideas.

These young people are too crazy.

Tang Fei looked at Qin Jianyi deeply, then made eye contact with everyone present, and said in a deep voice: "I wish you all good luck in martial arts and a triumphant return."

"Yes. General."

Everyone stood up and saluted.

Even Phoenix stood up.

"Meeting dismissed."

When most people dispersed, Xun Pu and Fenghuang stayed.

Tang Fei looked at Xun Pu and asked, "Mr. Xun, is there anything else?"

"I have a few small suggestions that I thought of at the last minute." Xun Pu said with a smile.

"Mr. Xun, please speak."

Xun Pu's eyes swept across Fenghuang's face, but he didn't care.

Since you have already chosen a new master, then you should be loyal to the new master.

As for what the person in front of him thinks, it is not something he needs to consider.

It is impossible to cover everything.

I'm afraid neither of them will treat you as their own.

"At the beginning of the meeting, the general pointed out our strategic intentions and ultimate goals. Everything we see, we conquer. Victory is ours, and the empire is finally ours."

"Hmm?" Tang Fei secretly glanced at Fenghuang who was sitting next to him, thinking, I said the first sentence, but I didn't say the second sentence.

Don't try to put the blame on me, old man.

"Now that the goal has been determined, all of us must work hard towards it. So, first of all, we need to build a team structure."

"Now everyone is acting on their own, and they are a mess. Even the generals can no longer be called generals. General Qin Jianyi is a general, General Shen Qingping is also a general, and General Lu Zhiyong is still a general. You are the leader of our team, and you can be called the marshal or the lord."

"Well, I haven't thought about these." Tang Fei shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands.

Phoenix is ​​sitting next to them. What's your intention, old man, to ask me to rebel against their family?
Although they have been doing this all along, no one has spoken out loudly about it.

"I think the Lord is more suitable." Fenghuang continued, "The Marshal needs the approval of the three armies, the king's appointment, and the Military Affairs Office sends a letter to the whole country. The ceremony is quite complicated. Your father was like this back then."

"The Lord is the leader elected by our team. He has the right to be the leader and has more room to develop."

Xun Pu looked at Fenghuang in astonishment. This princess is truly a love-brained person.

He was an outsider, and in order to gain power, he made this remonstration, allowing the Tang bandits to come forward and openly dig into the corners of their Zhong royal family.

This princess is better, she is more powerful than me
Not only does she agree to your poaching, she also provides you with the safest and most reliable path.

What’s the matter? You also want to join the Military Affairs Council?
"I also think 'Lord' is more appropriate." Xun Pu agreed.

They don't even have a navy now, so calling him 'Marshal' is a bit awkward.

Tang Fei looked at Fenghuang thoughtfully, Sister, are you serious?

Or is it a serious test?
As if she had seen through Tang Fei's thoughts, Fenghuang stroked her short hair, smiled gently, and said, "Do your job. You are not only representing Tang Fei, nor are you only representing the Tang family. You represent the entire rebel team, and everyone gathered around you."

"They came because of you and fought for you. If you can't make them a promise and give them a future, it will be difficult to truly turn them into your own people. How can they be willing to risk their lives for you?"

"Don't worry, and don't hesitate. Now that you've embarked on this path, you need to put aside your burdens and move forward courageously."

"Tang Fei, do you know? You have no way out now, and neither do I. No one has any way out."

"I understand."

Tang Fei's expression became serious, his eyes became deep, he looked at Xun Pu and said, "This one is approved."

Xun Pu quickly stood up, bowed deeply to Tang Fei, and said in a loud voice: "Greetings, my lord."

"Please stand up, Mr. Xun." Tang Fei reached out and helped him up.

Xun Pu sat down again, looked at Tang Fei and said, "Second, wars will happen frequently in the future, and there will be many things to discuss and weigh. Only by planning and strategizing can we fight a decisive battle thousands of miles away. We need a military brain and we need unity of purpose. I suggest setting up a general staff."

"I agree." Tang Fei nodded: "You will be in charge of preparing this matter, and you will also be the first chief of the General Staff."

"Thank you, my lord." Xun Pu stood up and saluted again.

This time, Tang Fei did not lend a hand to help.

He deserves it.

"Third, in modern warfare, information comes first. Whether we are using supernatural means to remove the protective shield of Red Moon City, or using superb technology to spread information and fight back against rumors, information security and hacking technology are the core of the core, and can even determine the outcome of a war."

"The rebel team is now led by Miss Lu Siyu, who has dozens of technical staff responsible for information security. They are responsible for network monitoring, information collection, and point-to-point blasting. They have to manage everything and do everything."

"There is no organization and no system. Now we completely rely on Miss Lu Siyu and the superb skills of her team to complete the work and achieve victory."

"But when we occupied more cities and governed more people and resources, this was obviously not enough. And it was easy to make fatal mistakes."

"Therefore, I suggest setting up the Tianji Management Bureau, with Miss Lu Siyu as the first director, reporting directly to the Lord. The Tianji Management Bureau will be composed of the Information Department, the Security Department, and the Explosives Department."

"When the Tianji Administration reaches a certain size, we can consider upgrading it to an Information Security Department."

Tang Fei hesitated for a moment and said, "I agree. But Lu Siyu is a loner. I need to talk to her and see what her attitude is."

Based on Tang Fei's understanding of Lu Siyu, she is only interested in hacking and mechanical technology, and is probably not interested in being an official.

Making her the director is like putting her in shackles.

She will feel uncomfortable.

"How about leaving this matter to me? If I talk to him privately, maybe I can get unexpected results?" Fenghuang looked at Tang Fei and volunteered.

Tang Fei understood Fenghuang's good intentions and was deeply moved. He smiled and said, "Okay, you are better at talking than me, so you can help me convince Lu Siyu to be the first director of the Tianji Management Bureau."

Tang Fei once took an elevator deep into the underground of Luban Mountain accompanied by Lu Siyu.

He had seen the Tianji Station and knew that Lu had the Tianji Laboratory and Tianji Academy.
Xun Pu even took this aspect into consideration, which shows his understanding and respect for the Lu family.

Named after Lu's "Tian Ji", when the Tang bandits turned their families into a country.
How glorious are these two words?

Even if Lu Siyu disagreed, the Lu family would not be able to refuse.

He was not only plotting against Lu Siyu, but also the entire Lu family behind Lu Siyu.

He offered an offer that Lu couldn't refuse.

When the Tianji Management Bureau is upgraded to the Information Security Department, won’t the position of director be reserved for the Lu family?
"When it comes to talking, no one can match you." Phoenix retorted.

Xun Pu knew that he should step down, as the young couple actually started racing.

He cupped his hands and said, "I will go and think about the General Staff first. Once I have a plan, I will come back to ask for instructions, my lord."

After saying this, he walked away as fast as he could and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"This is a very smart person." Fenghuang looked at Xun Pu's receding back and praised him out loud.

"More than smart." Tang Fei reached out and held Fenghuang's hand, and said tenderly, "He is calm in the face of danger, not startled by the unexpected, and acts according to the opportunity. Did I tell you that he is the second Dushan Army general to surrender?"

"If he hadn't been there to mediate, it would have been difficult for Shen Qingping to control the overall situation of the Dushan Army, let alone lead the entire Dushan Army to support the rebels. It was mainly because he was relaxed and gave Shen Qingping the tiger seal to mobilize troops."

"So, you just tested him in public on purpose to let everyone know his ability?"

Tang Fei smiled and nodded, saying, "We have to convince everyone. We don't have much time to get used to each other. We're going to have a life-and-death battle right from the start."

"So, it is necessary to speed up understanding and strengthen trust. As a team, if you don't trust me, I doubt how you can fight this battle."

"He also knew that he had passed the assessment, so after the meeting, he immediately requested the establishment of a staff department. The goal was very clear."

"If he wants it, I'll give it to him. I'm just afraid he doesn't even dare to think about it, which would be disappointing." Tang Fei said.

Xun Pu proposed to set up a general staff, and Tang Fei agreed after thinking for less than three seconds.

Not only that, he was also handed the important position of the first Chief of the General Staff.

If you dare to ask, I dare to give.

I treat you as a national hero, what do you give me in return?

Shine and burn, my Minister.

"How can he disappoint people? Apart from other things, he has guarded Dushan for decades, and not only survived, but also lived well. This is a great wisdom."

"Yes." Tang Fei agreed with this and said, "I have read his resume. He offended such an important person, but he was still 'exiled' to be the commander of the Dushan Army. This proves that the higher-ups can't bear to bury his military talent."

"You have found a treasure." Phoenix said jokingly.

"That's right." Tang Fei held Fenghuang's hand tightly, put it on his lips and kissed it, and said, "So I have to hold it tightly and can't let her run away."

"."

This guy.
I am congratulating you on your acquisition of 'Zhang Liang', what are you doing?

Seeing Fenghuang's pretty face full of smiles, Tang Fei knew that this was not the time to talk about this matter, but he would feel guilty if he didn't say it.

"News came from Phoenix City that Xin Huai and Teacher Mei wanted to take a starship to Rui'an, but were intercepted by Security Bureau Director Guo Nu and his men."

"What?" Fenghuang's face changed drastically, and she exclaimed, "Is Shen Wuxiang going to take action against the Sheng family?"
