Chapter 72
Chapter 33 Zhang Wei goes out
On one side is Yang Song and the two women’s leisurely daily life, while on the other side, Zhang Wei rushed to the barracks non-stop as soon as the meeting was over!
The officer on duty saw Zhang Wei coming to the military account and said: “I have seen the battalion commander!”
Zhang Wei ordered: “Drumming and gathering!”
Before the three-way drum was beaten, all the officers under Zhang Wei should arrive in the main account.
“I would like the battalion commander, the entire battalion should have thirteen officers, but there are actually thirteen, please give instructions!”
As a deputy, Sima Yushu, who is responsible for making suggestions and assessing military merit, stood at the front of the queue and reported attendance!
“The monarch has orders!” Zhang Wei directly read Yang Song’s order to everyone!
The thirteen people who stood opposite Zhang Wei heard that this was the order of the monarch, and they stood firmly and stood ready!
Zhang Wei read out: “Fate, all the soldiers of the guard battalion will go to the southern tribes! All the soldiers of the guard battalion will defend their homes and defend the country, slay the enemy bravely, and punish the enemies who want to commit crimes! Monarch Order!”
“Observe, your order!” Everyone, including Zhang Wei, got up and led the way.
“Everyone, this is an expedition order issued by the emperor!” Zhang Wei put away the emperor order, and said with a serious face: “Besides! The emperor has other instructions!”
Zhang Wei looked around, then continued: “This instruction is top secret! Don’t disclose it! Otherwise, the military law is engaged!”
“Lead the order!” After hearing the decisive leadership of these officers, Zhang Wei slowly said Yang Song’s private instructions to him…
“The above are the instructions of the monarch, everyone must follow orders! Sit!” Zhang Wei commanded the thirteen people in front of him without expression.
“Yes!” The thirteen people were divided into two rows and sat on both sides of the main account. As Sima, they walked to a deputy on Zhang Wei’s left and held a fist against Zhang Wei before sitting down!
“Your Majesty has absolute confidence in us!” Zhang Wei said, “I wonder if you are confident to complete this expedition?”
“Yes!” everyone replied in unison.
“Very good!” Zhang Wei said to the audience: “The southern aboriginal tribes have even joined forces. According to intelligence, there are more than 5,000 enemies!”
There was no fear on his face when everyone heard the number five thousand.
Zhang Wei continued with satisfaction: “Although Nanban has a unity, it has not yet been fully united. Therefore, the monarch decided to take the lead and defeat each one!”
“According to intelligence, Nanban will complete the alliance within one month. Therefore, we must act decisively and quickly destroy the tribes!” Zhang Wei then ordered.
“The light cavalry formation obeys the order! Order your troops as the vanguard to patrol the southern ministries, investigate the enemy’s situation, cut the enemy’s contact, and pursue the fleeing enemies!”
“Yes, the subordinates take the orders!” The light cavalry formation commander, together with the three captains under him, stood up and clasped fists to take the lead.
“The far-reaching army formation is the same as the conventional army formation, led by me, as the main force, if a tribe is found, one will be wiped out!”
“Yes, your subordinates obey!” The rest of the officers also stood up, clasped their fists to take their orders!
Then Zhang Wei gave an order to Yu Shu: “Yu Sima, you do a good job of coordinating, handing over logistics, and recording military merits, negligence, battle damage, and seizures!”
Yu Shu also stood up, clasped his fist and said, “Yes, battalion commander!”
Zhang Wei looked at everyone without any timidity, only the fighting spirit on his face, and he nodded in satisfaction.
Although he is very satisfied in his heart, he still has no expression on his face and said in an unwavering tone: “All ministries go back and mobilize for the expedition. No one should be held back!”
Zhang Wei thought about it carefully, and when he saw that there was nothing forgotten, he said, “The meeting is over!”
The twelve officers clasped their fists at Zhang Wei neatly, and left the main account in an orderly manner.
Then Yu Shu said to Zhang Wei: “Batant Commander, the Lord’s instructions, I wonder if there are any indicators?”
Zhang Wei thought about the situation at the time, and replied: “No, the emperor only said that in the case of ensuring the safety of the army, the number can be as many as possible!”
“The subordinate suggested that this time the battle against the enemy should be mainly destroyed, supplemented by killing; mainly driven by encirclement and suppression, supplemented by sweeping!” Yu Shu suggested.
Zhang Wei thinks this suggestion is good, and agrees: “Just use this as the enemy strategy this time, you go to convey it! By the way, see if the logistics personnel have prepared the logistics!”
“Yes, the subordinates will go now!” Yu Shu clasped his fists and took his orders, and then went out of the main account!
Zhang Wei sat in the camp, looked at the map hanging on the wall, and recalled the scene when Yang Song called him back after the meeting just ended.
……
“Participate in the emperor!” Zhang Wei returned to the Yeejeong Hall and found the same big men who remained in the Yeejeong Hall!
Just now he was about to go back to the barracks. A guard soldier of the monarch rushed into the door, stopped him and told him to go back.
“Okay, everyone is here!” Yang Song motioned to exempt the gift and explained.
“Zhang Wei, I asked you to come because I have something to tell you!”
Zhang Wei clasped his fists and said solemnly: “Please tell me!”
Yang Song smiled and said relaxedly: “It’s not a big deal, just relax! Yang Zhong, you can tell Camp Chief Zhang!”
“Yes, Lord!” After Yang Zhong returned to Yang Song, he turned to Zhang Weijie and said.
“Lieutenant Colonel Zhang, this matter is top secret!” Yang Zhong started with the word ‘top secret’, which immediately made him feel tight!
The monarch said just now that it’s not a big deal, but now listening to Yang Zhong’s tone, it looks like a trivial matter!
“Commander Zhang, you had a meeting just now, and you also know that there is a shortage of labor in the country. This time you are going to expedition, there is also a factor in adding labor to your country!”
“War will have casualties and captures, so! The monarch hopes that you can catch as many young and healthy prisoners as possible!”
Yang Song heard Yang Zhong’s explanation about this and worried that Zhang Wei was going to catch the prisoners, so he added: “You can catch as many as possible while ensuring the safety of your army. Don’t In order to catch the prisoners, the casualties were too heavy!
Yang Zhong gave a salute to Yang Song, and then said: “As the Lord said, controlling one’s own casualties is the most important thing. Only after guaranteeing oneself, consider taking more prisoners!”
“The minister will obey the emperor’s order!” Zhang Wei held his fist at Yang Song and said.
At this time, he reflected that it may be true to fight back against the invasion and invasion this time on the southern barbarian expedition, but I am afraid it is more for these ‘young and healthy’ prisoners!
He is also somewhat politically savvy, and would not think that doing so is evil, on the contrary, as long as it is beneficial to Xia Guo, he thinks it is ‘just’!
“Haha You are a smart person, I am very optimistic about you!” Yang Song was very happy to see Zhang Wei doing this way.
“Commander Zhang, my official congratulations in advance, this time I am going to do a great job for the monarch!” Yang Zhong also smiled and said with his hands.
Zhang Wei clasped his fists and responded casually: “Where, this is my duty!”
Yang Song is really afraid that Zhang Wei is a dead brain, so he should pay attention to what ‘injustice, can be killed but not humiliated…’!
Zhang Wei has been waiting for the chance to prove himself since he took office as the main commander of the guard battalion. He finally got this chance, he secretly encouraged himself, he must seize this chance!
Look at Zhou Wu. Because of a mistake, the monarch sent him back to the city to serve as a guard. Although his status was higher and safer, he had no chance to make meritorious deeds!
After regaining his senses, Zhang Wei squeezed his fists. He wanted to use this hard-won opportunity to prove that he was worthy of the trust of the Lord!
