Li Ruoyu was welcomed back to Guilin City like a hero, and all the elders of the New Osmanthus Faction welcomed Li Ruoyu outside Guilin City.
Even Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi had never enjoyed such a high-level welcome.
Only a small portion of the Seventh Steel Corps had returned with Li Ruoyu, and most of them were still stationed in Hunan.
Many of these people were wounded. When they returned to Guilin City, Li Ruoyu immediately arranged for them to seek medical treatment so that they could recover as soon as possible.
To him, these wolf soldiers were not only his comrades, but also his most elite fighting force. He could not afford to lose one of them.
The Gui Army headquarters was decorated with lanterns and streamers, as if it was the New Year.
Li Zongren pulled Li Ruoyu all the way to the headquarters and pressed him down on the main seat.
Li Ruoyu saw that Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi were sitting at the side and quickly stood up."Senior officers, you should sit at the head of the table. I'm just a commander!”
At this moment, Huang Shaogong, the third mission of the New Osmanthus Faction, walked over and pressed Li Ruoyu down on his seat with a smile.
"Military Commander Li, you deserve this position. We don't care about seniority, we only recognize heroes. You drove away 400,000 of Old Jiang's troops and captured him alive to force him to negotiate. You deserve this great credit!”
The generals of the Gui Army shouted,"Commander Li, please sit down." If you don't sit, no one will dare to sit!"
"That's right. Who would dare to sit in front of a great hero like you? Military Commander Li, please don't stand on ceremony.”
Li Zongren said,"This isn't just my idea. This is everyone's unanimous opinion!"”
Since that was the case, Li Ruoyu was not a pretentious person and immediately sat down.
Huang Shaogong smiled and looked at Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi. The two nodded at him, indicating that he could continue.
Huang Shaogong cleared his throat and said to everyone,""Everyone, we have two important matters to attend to today. The first one is naturally to welcome the return of our Wolf Commander.”
"Now that the first one has been completed, let's complete the second one!”
Huang Shaogong suddenly turned to Li Ruoyu, half-kneeling on the ground, and respectfully said,""Let us pay our respects to the new commander-in-chief of the Gui Army. General Huang Shaogong greets the commander-in-chief!”
All the officers knelt on the ground and shouted respectfully,""Greetings, Commander-in-chief!"
Li Ruoyu stood up in shock. He had already thought that he would definitely be rewarded when he returned.
However, he never dreamed that the reward was a little too much. It was actually to make him the commander of the Gui Army.
"Mr. Huang, get up quickly!" Li Ruoyu hurriedly pulled Huang Shaogong,"Everyone, you should also get up quickly." The leader of the Gui Army is Li Zongren, Officer Li. You're setting me up for injustice!”
At this moment, Li Zongren's voice sounded,""Ruo Yu, you don't need to be humble. We discussed today's matter yesterday. I'm willing to step down and let you be the commander-in-chief of the Gui Army!”
" Uncle," Li Ruoyu's eyes were filled with tears.
Since ancient times, power had poisoned countless people.
Father and son fell out, brothers killed each other, all for power.
But now that Li Zongren took the initiative to hand over his power, Li Ruoyu was deeply moved.
Li Zongren waved his hand." Don't say anything else. I'm giving up my position to you not only because of your contributions." Your ability is the main reason why I gave up my position to you!”
Li Zongren said seriously,"From last year to this year, our Gui army and Jiang's army fought and lost consecutively. If it weren't for you, how could we have avoided danger every time?”
"You single-handedly led the Seventh Army to fight a lone battle and turned the tide," Bai Chongxi quickly said."You even obtained the greatest benefits for our Gui Army. Ruo Yu, you are stronger than any of us. Who else can be the commander-in-chief but you?"
Li Zongren suddenly sobbed and said,"In the two battles with Jiang's army, the casualties of my Bagui children exceeded 100,000." I often ask myself, is it our Bagui's wolf soldiers that can't do it anymore? Don't tell me that our children from Guangxi don't know how to fight?”
"Until I saw you, I found the answer!”
Li Zongren said with grief and indignation,"It's not that we Wolf soldiers can't do it, but that I, the commander, can't." Wolf soldiers had never been defeated. As a Guang Xi citizen, I can't let the Wolf Soldier's reputation be tarnished on me.”
"And you are more capable than me and Jiansheng.”Li Zongren looked at Li Ruoyu with a burning gaze."The position of commander-in-chief must be yours. Only you can lead our Gui Army to become better!”
Bai Chongxi shouted,"Ruo Yu, from today onwards, you will be punished." Your uncle will manage the internal affairs for you, I will join the army for you, and Shao Gong will be your logistics minister. We will assist you wholeheartedly. Under your leadership, the Gui Army will definitely be invincible!”
Huang Shaogong half-kneeled and shouted,"Ruo Yu, you shouldn't refuse. You're a real man." You're the most hot-blooded man I've ever met. At this moment, what are you still hesitating about?”
Li Ruoyu let out a long sigh. Thank you for your trust. I, Li Ruoyu, will still say the same thing. I, Li Ruoyu, will never allow anyone to invade Guangxi in my lifetime!”
Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi were so excited that they half-knelt on the ground."Greetings, Commander-in-chief!"
