Not long after.
Under Li You's lead, Liu Dao came to the office in the city. It was a simple and crude house.
"The war is urgent, so everything should be simple.”
Li You explained with a smile before entering the door.
Liu Dao smiled calmly and replied,"
"Commandant Li is dedicated to the public and doesn't like to enjoy life.”
"No, no, just now on the city wall, I saw General Liu's invincible power and easily defeated the Xiongnu soldiers. As expected of the Divine Might General personally conferred by His Majesty, I truly admire him.”
Li You praised Liu Dao with a smile.
"Haha, it's just a little bit of brute force. This Liu was valued by His Majesty because of his bravery, and this was the first time he had come into contact with leading troops in battle.
Commandant Li was outnumbered. Under the siege of 20,000 Xiongnu soldiers, he was able to hold on for several days without falling into a disadvantage. The soldiers used their lives in an orderly manner. This was true knowledge of soldiers.”
Liu Dao smiled and flattered him before continuing to establish his persona.
Li You quickly waved his hand and said,
"I don't deserve General Liu's praise. General Liu is too humble.”
Liu Dao only smiled when he heard this and said indifferently,
"Alright, let's not continue to be humble at this door. Now that the military situation is urgent, let's go in and discuss the follow-up plan.”
"Alright, General Liu, please."
Li You nodded and signaled Liu Dao to leave first.
Liu Dao did not stand on ceremony and directly walked in front, entering the residence.
……
Not long after, in the lobby of the office.
Liu Daoxiao smiled and said,"
"This is Liu Dao's first time leading an army, so he doesn't know much about the situation here. Why don't we let Commandant Li lead this battle and be in charge of commanding, while I, Liu, will be the vanguard?”
"No! General Liu was personally conferred the title of General of Divine Might by His Majesty, and he also had General Meng Tian's orders. I am just a small county lieutenant, so I dare not overstep my authority.”
Li You hurriedly declined.
His expression was a little flustered. He probably thought that Liu Dao was testing him.
On the other hand, Liu Dao did not have any intentions of probing. He just did not place much importance on Great Qin's military power and had wanted to slack off from the start.
This time, he had led his troops out to battle. In reality, he was just chasing ducks and was pushed to this position.
Although Liu Dao knew that he would become enemies with Li You sooner or later, he did not have the intention of becoming close friends with him.
But in fact, no matter who the general of the frontier fortress was, Liu Dao was prepared to come.
Don't ask. If you ask, you'll be shirking the blame.
Or get rid of the credit.
This time, he had been pushed to the position of commander of a hundred thousand troops without knowing. Liu Dao was a little confused at this time.
Having completely messed up his plan, Liu Dao did not want to do it again.
If he was really transferred out of Si Shui County, Liu Dao's early preparations would be over.
Although Si Water County was currently under Liu Dao's control, when Liu Dao was still the Chief of Si Water County, he was confident that he could control these talents.
Who knew what would happen when he was not around for a long time?
If Pei County's Liu Bang were to suppress them, then Zhao Bang and Li Bang would appear. Liu Dao would be speechless.
Therefore, Liu Dao was indeed serious and determined about establishing a persona and throwing away credit.
Liu Daoxiao smiled and said,"
"Commandant Li is too humble. I heard that you are not only the son of the Prime Minister, but also the disciple of General Meng Tian. I believe that your family is well-versed in knowledge. A great teacher produces a talented disciple.”
Li You saw Liu Dao's sincere attitude and that he was indeed not trying to test him. He could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
Otherwise, if Liu Dao was really suspicious and didn't trust him, he would have spoken to test him.
The discord between the Generals would be greatly detrimental to the war with the Xiongnu. As a loyal follower of Great Qin, Li You naturally did not want to see this.
However, even so, he was eager to control an army of more than 100,000.
Li You said firmly,"
"I am naturally duty-bound to plan, but there is a difference between the upper and lower levels. Please do not mention the matter of changing generals at the last minute, or it will be detrimental to the morale of the army. General Liu would be the commander, and Li You would be the advisor.”
Seeing Li You's insistence, Liu Dao didn't force him.
Liu Dao nodded lightly and said,"
"In that case, it was this Liu who did not consider things carefully. Then let this Liu accept the position of general in shame. I hope that Commandant Li can give me more pointers. In the future, this Liu will definitely show Commandant Li his merits.”
Liu Dao didn't mind if he failed to shirk the blame. He was just thinking of taking a shot.
"Yes, General."
Li You cupped his hands and accepted the order.
A strange conversation about changing managers ended just like that.
Liu Dao was also the commander of the hundreds of thousands of Qin soldiers that he led to fight against the Xiongnu alliance army.
Liu Dao continued to ask,
"Commandant Li, do you have any suggestions for dealing with the invading allied forces? I see that the enemy's forces are far inferior to ours. Why don't we attack tonight and eat the enemy's vanguard first?”
He looked as if he was here, and he would definitely be fine in a head-on confrontation.
He looked exactly like the fierce Zhang Fei, even though Zhang Fei had not been born in this era.
"This, my lord, I'm afraid it won't do. Although the soldiers you brought are elite, they are probably exhausted from the continuous journey and need to rest.
Moreover, Daren had brought the army here in advance. The vanguard of the Xiongnu allied army must be on the highest alert at this time. The other party would definitely be prepared for a night attack.”
Li You thought about it and said it directly.
"Is that so?"
Liu Dao had a look of realization.
Li You was also confused and thought to himself,"
"It seems that General Liu really doesn't have any experience in leading troops. Fortunately, he was still easy to talk to and was willing to listen to suggestions. There was no problem.”
Thinking of this, Li You continued,"
"That's right, Milord. I'm afraid we can't take this opportunity to launch a sneak attack. Moreover, I've received reports from my scouts that the main force of the Xiongnu allied army is not far from here and could arrive at any time.
That was why the Xiongnu vanguard had seized the opportunity to attack the city and occupy this place as a place to rest. If the surprise attack happened to bump into it, something might happen instead. Sir, please order the army to rest first and wait for fatigue.”
"If that's the case, then that's the only way. Fortunately, I had Commandery Lieutenant Li's guidance. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'd have made a huge mistake.”
"Milord is too polite."
After that, Liu Dao put on an act as if he didn't know anything. He asked Li You about the next battle plan and then directly agreed to act according to the plan.
After the discussion, Liu Dao left 20,000 soldiers in the city to help defend the city while he returned to the military camp outside the city with his personal guards.
