Yue Shenglong never expected that he had been working for half his life to finally get the position of Sichuan Admiral, but after he had just retired for more than two years, his son Yue Zhongqi was promoted from a guerrilla to a general, then to a deputy general, and then to a general. Just a few days ago, the court issued an order to promote Yue Zhongqi to a governor of Sichuan, which means that Yue Shenglong's goal for most of his life was achieved in less than three years.

A young boy in his early twenties actually became a military official. You should know that the admiral has been from a first-rank official and has been controlled by military affairs in a province, and can be called a chief official. This surprised Yue Shenglong and could not help but worry secretly.

The Yue family has been in charge for generations, and the son has taken the position of father, so of course he is happy to be a father. But now, unlike in the past, the world is already a troublesome. Yue Zhongqi is so young that she holds a high position. Although he has achieved great military achievements, it also shows the embarrassment that no one in the court is available now.

As a veteran, I was very clear about the military strength of the Qing court and the generals. Most of the generals who could fight back then had passed away, and even those who were still alive had already retired and returned home. Now the outstanding military generals of the Qing court are in a situation of disagreement. Faced with the rising fires, the court could not find a great future except for a few people.

Therefore, this is also the reason why Yue Zhongqi made great contributions to pacifying Sichuan, and the Qing court promoted it in an extraordinary way. Yue Shenglong could see this clearly, so he specially entered Sichuan from his hometown Gansu and found Yue Zhongqi who had just taken Chongqing.

"My father came from afar and was tired all the way, but..." Hearing that Yue Shenglong was coming, Yue Zhongqi hurriedly left the mansion to greet him. After helping his father into the mansion and sat down, he first kowtowed respectfully to greet him, and then wanted his father to rest first and wait until he was well prepared.

Before he could finish his words, Yue Shenglong waved his hand and said, "I have been in my life for my father. This body is not as unbearable as you imagined. Let's put other things aside for the time being, my son! Come on, let's talk to my father for a while."

Yue Zhongqi knew her father's temper, and then looked at Yue Shenglong's spirits were indeed good. Since his father had something to say to him, Yue Zhongqi agreed immediately and then sat down respectfully.

First, he looked at Yue Zhongqi sitting in front of him. Yue Shenglong nodded slightly, stroked his beard and sighed: "I haven't seen him for three years. If my son doesn't make a sound, he will make a big splash! Not bad! It's really good! It's not bad for my Yue family's reputation."

"This is all because of the father's teaching. If the father had not taught since childhood, the child would not have achieved what he has done today." Yue Zhongqi replied seriously.

Yue Shenglong laughed: "Teaching is only one side, and if you don't have talent, you can't accomplish anything. OK, now you are also an admiral, so there is no need to be so restrained before your father."

After hearing this, Yue Zhongqi smiled. Although he was already a top-notch, he was still the same as before in front of his father. Facing Yue Shenglong, Yue Zhongqi lost the courageous decision he had in the army, which was no different from the usual young man facing his elders who had been strict since childhood.

Yue Shenglong talked to Yue Zhongqi, and then asked about his war in Sichuan after a few words. Yue Zhongqi sent troops from Guangyuan, then cut off the east and west roads of Sichuan, then took Chengdu first, and then attacked Chongqing. Yue Shenglong knew these situations, but he only knew these, for specific details, such as how to arrange it after Guangyuan, how to mobilize the troops after cutting off the east and west roads of Sichuan, how to prevent the counterattack of Sichuan and the details of attacking Chongqing, etc.

As an old general, although he has retired and no longer goes to the battlefield, he has a strong interest in these things. Yue Zhongqi is naturally very clear in his heart, and immediately told his father in detail. When it comes to details, he also took the map and pointed out the location on the map to explain his thoughts and decisions at that time, as well as the reactions of the White Lotus Sect in Sichuan, etc.

This statement lasted for several hours, from afternoon to evening. Yue Shenglong was originally the admiral of Sichuan, and was extremely familiar with the terrain and humanities in the middle of Sichuan. He listened to Yue Zhongqi's explanation and was also thinking about how he would make a decision if he was in that situation. After listening carefully, Yue Shenglong was extremely happy, because he was sure that Yue Zhongqi was not lucky to pacify Sichuan, but with his real strength.

The so-called "great youth is better than blue than blue". Before coming, Yue Shenglong was worried that Yue Zhongqi was very energetic. A young man in his early twenties made such a great contribution and was even more valued by the court. Once he lost himself, the result can be imagined.

In addition, Yue Shenglong must also figure out whether Yue Zhongqi pacifies Sichuan by his own ability or luck. As a general, he must not be too arrogant or arrogant. Zhuge is only cautious in his life. This sentence is not casual. Of course, a father hopes that his son will have a future, but he is also worried that Yue Zhongqi will lose his original intention.

Now, after listening to Yue Zhongqi's story carefully and understanding all his decisions and military use at that time, Yue Shenglong's heart was completely relieved, and replaced by incomparable comfort.

"Okay! My son is really a thousand-mile horse in my Yue family!" Yue Shenglong, who was comforting, smiled and nodded repeatedly.

"This is all the teachings of the father, and the child just remembers them."

With a smile on his face, Yue Shenglong was extremely happy in his heart, but he also said specifically: "You have today and are extremely happy for your father. But you also need to know that although the rebels in Sichuan are powerful, Wang Zhiqing had led the main force to advance east before you entered Sichuan. Although you have the right military use and skillful tactics to take down Sichuan from this point, although you have some luck. The court has praised you this time, and with one of his achievements, you will be the admiral. Do you know why?"

"This..." Yue Zhongqi said respectfully: "I have thought about this matter carefully. There are only three things in the court that the imperial court gave the child the merits of the position of admiral."

"Oh, then you can tell me."

Yue Zhongqi said: "The rebellion in Sichuan is huge, and the imperial court lost all Sichuan in a short time, which can be said to have shaken the world. Now half of the south of the Yangtze River is controlled by the pseudo-Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Jiancai's troops have not been wiped out in Henan and other places. If this continues, the world may be unstable. The Child led troops to regain Sichuan, which not only inspires people's hearts, but also stabilized the court. Later, due to Sichuan's losses, Wang Zhiqing was forced to fight to the end. Zhu Jiancai's two tribes fought in Henan, thus regaining a place in Henan. For this reason, the court's concerns for the people of the world and inspires the morale of the three armies, which is why the Child was re-elected."

"Well, you are right about this, it's true." Yue Shenglong nodded and said, "This is the general trend. It is natural to recover the Sichuan city, the court is stable, and a meritorious minister is abolished. Moreover, the emperor is wise and powerful, so he will not ignore these things. So, what about the second?"

"The second is that the war generals in the Korean Republic are now invincible, and the veterans who can stand on their own have almost died. Although the emperor is wise and powerful, he has no general in his hands. Not to mention the others, only in the Central Plains, Lord Longkodo can see that he personally leads the three armies. According to the child, although Lord Long fought in Henan with a lot of rules, in fact, Lord Long has great flaws in using troops. Such a child..."

"No need to say what's next." Before Yue Zhongqi could continue to talk, Yue Shenglong interrupted him directly. As a famous veteran, Yue Shenglong didn't know what Yue Zhongqi wanted to say, but in fact he also saw it in his heart. Although Longkodo has a high status and has some ability to lead troops, he is not a famous general, at best he is just a good general.

There is a big difference between famous generals and good generals. The former is wild and can achieve the greatest victory at the minimum price when the enemy is surprised. The latter is just a step-by-step and steady action.

With the Qing court's troops and deployment in Henan, if Yue Zhongqi led the troops, Wang Zhiqing and Zhu Jiancai would not have confronted the Qing army for such a long time, nor would they have easily escaped from Henan to Hubei, thus burning the war to Hubei.

In Yue Shenglong's view, Longkodo's battle in Henan was not very good. On the surface, it seemed to be a big victory, but in fact it did not solve the fundamental problem. Now the battlefield in Hubei is even more complicated. Once the Ming army takes over the entire Jiangxi territory and enters Hubei directly, Longkodo's previous efforts will probably be wasted.

But I can only think about these words in my heart, and I can never say them directly. Moreover, Yue Zhongqi is still young and has a high position. There are many people in the court who are jealous. Once they are known and secretly write about him, it is not a good thing for Yue Zhongqi.

"As a general, you need to be very cautious, and the same is true for being an official." Yue Shenglong reminded him, and Yue Zhongqi suddenly woke up and knew that he had said the wrong thing just now, and immediately showed a shame.

"Okay, there are three more, you can talk together." Seeing that Yue Zhongqi understood what she said, Yue Shenglong didn't mention it anymore and asked directly.

Yue Zhongqi then said: "When I go back to my father, I think the third thing is actually related to what I said. Now Hubei and Jiangxi are fighting fiercely, and Sichuan has recovered, so only local governance is needed. The court now lacks generals to lead troops, and someone urgently needs to lead troops to Hubei to reinforce Lord Long. Furthermore, Nanjing has become increasingly popular over the years, and if it is no longer contained, it may not be able to deal with it. According to Chia, the emperor is a little anxious now in the face of this situation. He plans to use the power of the great victory of Sichuan and Henan to gather military forces to fight the rebels in Hubei."

"Decisive battle?" Yue Shenglong pondered for a moment and asked, "In my opinion, can you be sure of a decisive battle in Hubei?"

Yue Zhongqi said: "If it were only Wang Zhiqing, Zhu Jiancai and Gao Jin's three divisions, there should be no problem with him, but the key is not this, but the side of Jinling. In fact, he felt that the decisive battle in Hubei was not the best strategy. Judging from the current situation, it would be better to attack south from Fengyang and recover Anqing first. As long as Anqing is taken down, one can directly threaten Jinling, and the other can also cut off the key anti-traitors entering Jiangxi. As long as this matter is done, the battle in Hubei can be solved with Lord Long's military strength. Why should the anti-traitors lead the nose?"
