Chapter 80

It was not impossible for him to be promoted to a miscellaneous-title general in one fell swoop.

Everything was ready.

Saying goodbye to Dong Bai, Gu Yi led a total of fifty-three thousand seven hundred soldiers and left Chang'an City, heading toward Chencang.

Along the way.

Hua Xiong and Zhang Ji kept circling around Gu Yi, chatting about common sense regarding marching and fighting.

Although Hua Xiong and Zhang Ji could not be considered famous generals in the world.

But these two had followed old Dong to fight for many years, and as generals, they were quite qualified.

Behind Zhang Ji, there was also a young general holding a golden spear handle.

This person was Zhang Ji’s nephew, the Spear King of the North, Zhang Xiu!

Later generations said: "The Northern Hero, undefeated in troubled times."

Zhang Xiu’s martial arts were actually not low.

The general level was on par with Hua Xiong’s.

But the two’s usual weapons were different.

Zhang Xiu was a typical technique-type, similar to Zhao Yun.

While Hua Xiong was a power-type fierce general, a type like Zhang Fei, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou.

At this moment, Zhang Xiu was about twenty-three or twenty-four years old.

He was not yet the "Northern Hero" who occupied Wancheng and defeated Cao Cao twice in later generations.

His eyes were full of desire to make contributions.

In sharp contrast to the others in the team were Han Hao and Gao Shun.

These two were rigorous by nature and didn't talk much.

Especially Gao Shun.

This time he was following the expedition as a guest general.

Moreover, as a general of the Bingzhou faction, he couldn't play with the Xiliang inner circle at all.

The only one who could be called a friend was Han Hao, who had similar interests in training soldiers.

Gu Yi looked back.

Actually, the overall quality of his team was not bad, and could even be called quite good.

In terms of fierce generals, he had Hua Xiong and Zhang Xiu, both of whom were first-class martial arts level.

As long as they didn't meet super-first-class fierce generals and top fierce generals, these two were almost unstoppable in single combat on the battlefield!

Looking at the whole Liangzhou, there were only a few famous fierce generals.

Ma Teng and Ma Chao and others had already become friendly forces at this moment.

Under Han Sui’s command, I am afraid not even a first-class fierce general could be found.

In terms of leading troops to fight.

Hua Xiong, Zhang Ji, and others were actually okay.

Moreover, Gao Shun, the master of training soldiers, and his seven hundred Trapping Battalion were all in the team at this moment.

In terms of strategy.

With Gu Yi himself here, no matter how tricky Han Sui was, I am afraid he wouldn't get any good results.

Of course.

Gu Yi’s primary goal was not to finish off Han Sui.

But to rescue Xu Rong, Zhao Yun, Zhang He, Ma Teng, Ma Chao, and others first.

After rescuing these people, the lineup under Gu Yi’s command could truly be called an all-star lineup!

At the same time.

Chencang.

After Niu Fu handed over the military power, he had already started to set off to return to Chang'an.

Li Jue and Guo Si were extremely dissatisfied with the fact that Gu Yi was about to arrive at the front line to become an "air-dropped commander."

The two were discussing this matter in the council hall.

"A-Duo! How could the lord do this?"

"That Gu Yi is just a pretty boy who knows how to play some little tricks."

"He has no battlefield experience at all."

"Why send him to the front line to be a commander?"

Li Jue’s personality was more irritable.

At this moment, he could no longer endure the anger in his heart.

Li Jue looked down on Niu Fu very much.

This guy was just a relationship-based person.

He shouldn't have been allowed to be the commander-in-chief in the first place.

Now it was good, everyone was pitted miserably.

Li Jue originally thought that after Niu Fu, the pit-maker.

Old Dong would definitely learn a lesson this time.

And hand over the position of commander to him or Guo Si.

But now it was good.

The second son-in-law Niu Fu left, and old Dong actually sent another granddaughter’s husband, Gu Yi!

This could not help but make Li Jue feel deep resentment toward Gu Yi in his heart.

...

"Zhiran, you and I, brothers, just talk about this in private."

"Remember, you must not do this in front of Gu Yi!"

Guo Si said in a deep voice.

Compared to Li Jue, Guo Si’s brain was more flexible.

Therefore, whenever the two encountered things, it was usually Guo Si who made the decisions.

And at this moment, Li Jue held extreme dissatisfaction with Gu Yi becoming the "air-dropped commander."

Although Guo Si was the same as Li Jue.

But he knew deep down that the decision made by old Dong naturally had his considerations in it.

Don't look at the monk’s face, look at the Buddha’s face.

No matter how unbearable Gu Yi was, he was still old Dong’s own granddaughter’s husband.

"Could it be that you and I have to swallow this bad breath?"

Li Jue was still very unhappy.

The expedition to Liangzhou was originally an excellent opportunity to make a career.

But the two of them first met a garbage leader like Niu Fu, and now another Gu Yi was air-dropped here.

Let alone promotion and salary increase, if they could win this war, it would be a blessing in misfortune!

"Zhiran, you and I naturally cannot complain about Gu Yi in the open."

"But in the dark, we can trip him up."

"You know, the Chancellor said in the order that he handed us over to Gu Yi for command."

"But the soldiers under our command, do you say they listen to Gu Yi, or do they listen to us?"

Guo Si smiled slightly, his gaze containing a trace of gloom.

Hearing this, Li Jue also woke up instantly.

As veteran generals who had followed old Dong for many years, the two naturally had a certain prestige in the army.

This expedition to Liangzhou, Li Jue and Guo Si each led thirty thousand troops.

Although they suffered losses in order to rescue that pit-maker Niu Fu.
