Chapter 47: The army cannot be without a general for a day



There are no common monks in Beimang Town, only soldiers stationed in Zhenbei.

And the so-called General's Mansion is actually just a very simple mansion.

Looking at the poorly furnished general's mansion, Lu Fan couldn't help but nodded secretly.

"It seems that Gu Tiefeng is not a person who just wants to enjoy himself."

You must know that Gu Tiefeng is the commander of the Zhenbei Army, and he has great power. He can be said to be the same as the Lord of the North.

It stands to reason that he, the commander-in-chief, can enjoy an extremely luxurious mansion, beautiful women and wealth.

After all, many nobles in Daqian live a luxurious life.

Any dignitary's mansion in the imperial capital would be more than ten times more luxurious than the general's mansion in front of him.

Although he was surprised in his heart, Lu Fan remained calm on the surface, and the group went straight to the front hall.

Lu Fan pretended to want to sit on the left side, but Gu Tiefeng insisted on letting Lu Fan sit in the upright seat.

So Lu Fan stopped refusing and just sat down in his seat.

The pretense of politeness just now was just to test Gu Tiefeng.

If Gu Tiefeng really takes the throne directly, then he will have to reassess this guy.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, Lu Fan looked at Gu Tiefeng with a smile: "General Gu, since Your Majesty has appointed me as the Left Colonel of the Zhenbei Army, then I should know something about the Zhenbei Army, and I hope General Gu can introduce me to it. What are the details of the Zhenbei Army?”

Since ancient times, only military power can stabilize political power.

This sentence applies to any world and any era, and it is an eternal truth.

Even in this world of cultivation, this is no exception.

If he wants to control the northern territory, the most important thing is to control the Zhenbei Army.

"Haha, Your Highness is the Zuo Lieutenant appointed by His Majesty, so he naturally has the right to know this information."

Gu Tiefeng smiled and nodded, then looked at the middle-aged man sitting second on the right.

"This is Sun Wenquan, the right commander of our Zhenbei Army. Let him introduce it to His Highness."

When Gu Tiefeng finished his introduction, Sun Wenquan stood up and saluted Lu Fan with clasped fists.

"Sun Wenquan, the right commander of Zhenbei Army, pays homage to His Highness the Crown Prince!"

When Sun Wenquan cupped his fists and saluted, Lu Fan's eyes also fell on this guy.

Ninth level of the spiritual sea realm!

When Lu Fan saw through this guy's cultivation, he secretly snorted in his heart.

"This Zhenbei Army is a bit interesting. Everyone hides their true cultivation. Could it be that they are guarding against me."

In front of the system, he saw through the cultivation of all senior members of the Zhenbei Army.

Except no one else.

Sun Wenquan's true cultivation level is at the ninth level of the spiritual sea realm, but the revealed cultivation level that can be investigated is only the third level of the spiritual sea realm.

There are six entire small realms hidden.

Thoughts were swirling in his heart, but Lu Fan's appearance remained unchanged and he still maintained a smile on his face and said:

"Then there is Captain Laosun."

"Your Highness, you're welcome!" Sun Wenquan clasped his fists again, then coughed lightly and said:

"The Zhenbei Army has a total of 350,000 active soldiers, of which 300,000 are standing combat members and 50,000 are reserve members..."

Each legion in Daqian is equipped with two captains on the left and right.

Although the captain has no real power, his importance is not low at all, even very important.

Among them, the right captain is responsible for all military affairs and supplies in the army, and manages the quartermaster and Huotou Army in the army.

Lieutenant Zuo is responsible for sorting out military information, fighting staff, and appeasing the morale of the military.

In other words, the captain on the right does the chores, and the captain on the left is the assistant. Both are indispensable.

But relatively speaking, the left captain is more important than the right captain.

Because Lieutenant Zuo has access to confidential information in the military, and can participate in combat discussions and collect strategic intelligence.

The Zhenbei Army was originally equipped with Zuo Xiaowei.

However, Zuo Xiaowei failed to break through and fell into the fire demon a few years ago and died, so this position was temporarily vacant.

The imperial court has not arranged for new candidates, nor has it issued instructions for the Zhenbei Army to fill up the ranks.

Therefore, Sun Wenquan, the right colonel, temporarily served as the left colonel and performed the work of two positions at the same time.

Therefore, Sun Wenquan is the person who knows the Zhenbei Army best besides Gu Tiefeng.

With Sun Wenquan's detailed introduction, Lu Fan had an extremely detailed understanding of the Zhenbei Army.

The entire Zhenbei Army consists of 300,000 standing members and 50,000 reserve members.

Among them, there are thirty-five captains of ten thousand, and these in the palace are part of them. The weakest ones are at the third level of the spiritual sea realm.

Half an hour later, Sun Wenquan finished the introduction. Lu Fan nodded with a satisfied smile and said:

"Captain Sun is here to help!"

"Your Highness, you're welcome!"

Sun Wenquan bowed respectfully and took his seat, while Lu Fan looked at Gu Tiefeng with a smile.

"General Gu, Lieutenant Sun just introduced the situation of the Zhenbei Army in detail, but there is one person who seems not to have been introduced..."

"Your Highness is talking about General Zhang, right?"

The Zhenbei Army has a left general and a right general. The left general is Gu Tiefeng and the right general is Zhang Yu.

It's just that Zhang Yu, the right general, is not well-known, and the outside world rarely hears news about him.

"Yes, where is General Zhang now? Why is there no trace of him?"

On the way here, Miao Huai also told a lot of news about the Zhenbei Army, but he also didn't mention Zhang Yu.

Therefore, Lu Fan had long been curious.

In addition, Sun Wenquan did not introduce Zhang Yu when he introduced him just now, which made Lu Fan even more confused.

"Your Highness does not know that General Zhang received some good luck three years ago and began to break through the barrier of life and death. As of today, he has not yet come out of the barrier."

"Has he not come out of retreat in three years?"

Lu Fan frowned, very dissatisfied with this answer, and even doubted whether this answer was true or false.

For cultivators, retreat is a very normal thing.

But retreat for three years is a bit long, especially for Zhang Yu, the right general of Zhenbei Army.

As the right general of Zhenbei Army, he has important responsibilities and has to deal with the invasion of Mobei Tianwu Dynasty at any time.

It is difficult to retreat for a short time, so how can he retreat for three years without worrying?

Zhang Yu couldn't be unaware of the seriousness of it.

"Your Highness, don't worry. General Zhang has explained everything before retreating, and it will not affect Zhenbei Army..."

Gu Tiefeng seemed to see Lu Fan's doubts, and immediately explained with confidence.

Lu Fan pretended to glance at Sun Wenquan and the captains of ten thousand men casually.

Sun Wenquan looked calm and normal, but the expressions of these captains of ten thousand men were different.

Some were a little nervous, some bowed their heads and kept silent, and some had wandering eyes, looking at him and Li Cunxiao from time to time...

He saw all these subtle changes.

"It seems that Zhang Yu's retreat is not that simple, there must be something wrong... But this is an opportunity."

Thinking quickly, Lu Fan suddenly had an idea, and immediately looked at Gu Tiefeng and smiled:

"General Gu, as the saying goes, a country cannot be without a king for a day, and an army cannot be without a general for a day.

At present, General Zhang does not know when he can leave the retreat, and it is too tiring for you to take on the responsibility of the entire army alone.

So this king wants to recommend someone to temporarily take over the position of right general to relieve General Gu's worries. I wonder what General Gu thinks."

As soon as these words came out.

Gu Tiefeng, who was originally smiling, suddenly changed his face slightly, and Sun Wenquan and the other captains were even more shocked...
