Chapter 1551 Three Ordinaries
The imperial court has 300,000 troops ready to go.
Late at night, the prime minister had already summoned everyone.
"Tomorrow, frontal attack!"
Just when everyone was expressing their opinions and wanted to eliminate Zhou Zheng and the Zhenbei Army as quickly as possible, the prime minister shook his head.
Frontal attack!?
These four short words made almost everyone feel a sense of surprise and lack of confidence spreading from the bottom of their hearts.
You know, although the imperial court claims to have 300,000 elite troops, they are still not on the same level as the Zhenbei Army.
Even if there is a certainty of victory, the cost of 300,000 elite troops would be huge, which is definitely not the result that many generals want to see.
What they want is not only to win, but also to minimize their casualties and losses.
After all, these 300,000 elite troops were gathered from the hands of the aristocratic families. They were the elite of the aristocratic families in the world. If too many losses were suffered in this war, even if the prime minister inherited the throne and became the emperor in the future, it would be difficult to explain to those aristocratic families.
But no matter what, the prime minister at this moment seemed to have made up his mind, and no matter who tried to persuade him, it was useless.
Seeing this scene, everyone could only focus their eyes on Huang Cheng.
You know, in their eyes, Huang Cheng has always been an upright and rational person.
However, to their disappointment, this time Huang Cheng actually narrowed his eyes slightly.
He seemed not to care, and as if he didn't hear it.
This shocked all the generals. When did Huang Cheng become so calm? He would definitely oppose it in the past, and would even try to stop the prime minister at the cost of his own position.
Why, now it becomes like this?!
As if he had noticed the gazes cast at him by the crowd, Huang Cheng couldn't help sneering in his heart.
During this period of time, his entire state of mind underwent a drastic change.
He used to think that he was full of passion, that he had extraordinary abilities, that he had great means, and that he was an existence that could not be ignored in the army. But during this period of time, he saw everything clearly.
In this world, if you want to survive in this world, you need a background!
Huang Cheng is different from other generals. Other generals are backed by aristocratic families. Even if they lose a battle, they can escape unscathed. If they win a battle, they will be promoted and get rich.
But Huang Cheng is different. He is alone and has no one to rely on.
If you win, you won't necessarily get promoted or become rich.
But if we fail, we will definitely pay a huge price.
To take a step back, even if the performance is mediocre, there is a high possibility that you will become the scapegoat.
He was cautious and prudent all his life, but he never made any progress. It was not until the appearance of the prime minister and he met the so-called dignitaries that Huang Cheng realized why he considered himself a famous general but did not have many opportunities.
What it boils down to is that I have no one to rely on and no background.
Now, I have finally got in touch with the Prime Minister. As long as I stay close to the Prime Minister, my future success is just around the corner.
As for whether the prime minister's decision was right or wrong, it didn't matter to him at all and he didn't care.
Because, as long as the prime minister does not fall, Huang Cheng will be fine.
Even if the prime minister could go one step further and become the ruler of the entire Great Zhou, he would be able to soar to the sky.
And how many of these so-called 300,000 elite soldiers will die in the end? !
It’s not something Huang Cheng cares about at all.
Once upon a time, he loved his soldiers like his own sons, but looking back, he discovered that none of these soldiers had ever truly stood behind him, let alone shared life and death with him.
Because these soldiers and generals are all snobbish. They will tie themselves to and listen to whoever can bring them benefits.
In that case, why should he waste his time on these ungrateful people?
Not to mention that tens of thousands of soldiers would die in the final decisive battle, even if 300,000 elite troops were completely wiped out, so what!
What Huang Cheng wanted was always to stand on the side of the Prime Minister.
"A boy can be taught!"
The prime minister obviously noticed the change in everyone's eyes, but when he saw that Huang Cheng did not make any statement, he was relieved instead.
After all, Huang Cheng was the general appointed by him personally. If he jumped out at this time, the prime minister would be in a passive position.
"Prime Minister, I have something to say."
However, just when the prime minister thought that everything was fine, Huang Cheng suddenly opened his eyes and spoke.
This sentence shocked many generals who were almost disappointed with Huang Cheng, and then a smile appeared on their faces. The prime minister seemed to have no change in expression, but in fact, his heart had already become gloomy.
Those eyes, as deep as the abyss, carried a hint of coldness, as if they wanted to kill Huang Cheng.
"Say!"
In the overall situation, the prime minister spoke softly and motioned Huang Cheng to speak.
He wanted to see what Huang Cheng would say.
However, the prime minister had already made up his mind. Since he could let Huang Cheng sit on the position of general, he could naturally pull him down easily. He could even accuse him of false charges and completely wipe him out!
What the prime minister wants is never someone with tyrannical means and extraordinary strength, what he wants is an absolutely loyal minister.
"I believe that the Prime Minister has a plan that will lead to victory!"
"Generals, do you know that in the three armies, there can only be one voice, and that is the voice of the higher-ups!"
"If everyone is not of one mind, even with 300,000 elite soldiers, it will be difficult to achieve the desired effect. But if everyone is of one mind and obeys orders, it will be twice as effective with half the effort!"
Huang Cheng's words can be said to be sonorous, powerful and resounding.
Just this content made everyone's eyes widen, they never expected it.
I thought Huang Cheng came out to advise the Prime Minister, but now it sounds like that's not what he meant? !
You know, now they have too many means and abilities, and also great advantages. It is only a matter of time to win. But the prime minister chose a way that is most harmful to himself.
Head-on attack, do you really think those tens of thousands of Zhenbei troops are just for show? !
At its peak, tens of thousands of Zhenbei troops were enough to resist an elite army of one hundred thousand or even two hundred thousand of the imperial court!
Even though the current Zhenbei Army is not as elite as before, its strength is by no means comparable to that of ordinary elite troops.
They had seen people seeking death, but they had never seen anyone seeking death so actively.
At the same time, the prime minister was also a little confused, but soon a faint smile appeared on his face.
I didn't realize that after my training, Huang Cheng has become somewhat capable.
"Are you guys questioning the methods and abilities of the superiors?"
Just when everyone was about to speak, Huang Cheng sneered and shouted loudly.
"The superiors are using means that are beyond your imagination. The superiors will not joke about the lives of 300,000 soldiers."
"There is only one thing we need to do, and that is to follow the orders from above unwaveringly."
"I am the commander-in-chief of the three armies this time, but I have never issued an order. Now, I will issue the first order!"
"To sum it up, it's two whatevers!"
"All orders from the superiors must be carried out unwaveringly! All decisions from the superiors must be carried out as a team and there must be no doubts!"
"If there are those who disobey, such as this table, I will definitely be the first to kill them!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Cheng pulled out the sword from his waist, and then chopped down the wooden table beside him fiercely.
The huge force instantly split the wooden table in half.
Also coming with this is a strong murderous aura!
For a moment, the entire space was silent and dead silent.
Gurgle gurgle!!!
It took a long time before the generals reacted. They looked at each other, then their pupils rolled, and finally they took a deep breath.
Everyone knew that when Huang Chengdu showed such an attitude, they had no other choice.
Otherwise, let’s not talk about what would happen to the Prime Minister, Huang Cheng alone would be enough to kill everyone!
"Yes!"
Everyone had no choice but to nod in agreement.
At this time the Prime Minister also reacted. When he looked at Huang Cheng again, his eyes were full of approval and recognition.
It’s not because Huang Cheng is now firmly on his side, but because of the two whatevers summed up by Huang Cheng!
These two "whatevers" mean absolute concentration of power and absolute maintenance of one's own dignity!
Looking at the past and present, and looking at the world, only a true emperor can have the possibility of two whatevers.
Therefore, Huang Cheng not only defended his own decision, but also raised his identity and status to the same level as the emperor in advance.
This point alone is enough to make the prime minister take notice of him.
In the prime minister's opinion, such people can be cultivated.
And he really needs such people around him.
After Huang Cheng passionately took his side, he also felt the change in the prime minister's eyes.
For a moment, he was extremely excited. He understood better than anyone that this time his statement had truly entered the core circle of the prime minister.
Only soaring into the sky is just around the corner!
