Refuse to join the Wansui Army, I will build an ace division

Four Nine Cities.

"It's so late, are you still awake?"

A middle-aged woman with a good temperament came to the study and saw her husband still bent over the desk thinking hard. She couldn't help but said with concern: "Xiangyu, it's getting late, you should rest."

"Yingzhao, go to sleep first. I still have work to do."

The man looked to be about fifty years old, with mottled hair neatly tied back and a look of calmness and wisdom between his brows.

He has an elegant appearance, and his eyes are filled with the tenacity and depth that comes from having gone through many vicissitudes of life without changing his original intentions.

"Are you worried about the awarding of titles again?"

the wife asked.

The man said with some disappointment, "The list will be announced in two months, but some candidates have not been finalized yet. The leaders have sent people to urge them several times."

"Since you can't make up your mind, why don't you ask your leader?"

The wife said softly, "After all, you can't be sure of such a big thing."

The man thought about it and decided to ask his leader tomorrow.

The other candidates have been considered almost completely, except for Li Xiangyang, for whom he is unable to make a decision.

"Thank you for your hard work these days."

He looked at his wife and said apologetically.

"We are comrades and fellow soldiers, so naturally we have to be together."

The wife said considerately: "If you really care about me, go to bed early so that I don't have to wait too late."

"Well, I'll just listen to you."

The man nodded.

With that said, he got up and walked towards the kitchen.

"Xiangyu, where are you going?"

the wife asked.

"I heated up some milk for you. You haven't been sleeping well these past few days. Drinking a glass of hot milk will help you fall asleep."

The man's voice came from far away.

The next day, he came to see his leader with a draft of the list.

"The military ranks of the others are easy to determine, except for Li Xiangyang, whose rank is a little bit difficult to determine."

He took out two lists and said, "This is the list of major generals. I originally wanted to put him on it, but in comparison, he is more than 20 years younger than the others. It seems a bit abrupt."

"In addition, Dean Liu also sent a telegram, hoping that Li Xiangyang would not be appointed as a general."

The leader took a puff of his cigarette and said with a smile: "Li Xiangyang is his teacher, so of course he doesn't want Li Xiangyang to be criticized!"

"In addition, the commander wants Li Xiangyang to be promoted to major general, which is a matter of fact."

The man sighed. "In this case, I really don't know what to do."

The leader lay in the rocking chair, tapping his knuckles on the armrests. "Bo Jian is trying to protect his subordinates. Qingzong is a straightforward person. In his eyes, one is one and two is two. Since Li Xiangyang's contribution is great enough, he naturally thinks that he should be awarded the rank of major general."

"This is really a headache..."

At this moment, a guard came forward and said, "Leader, there's a call from Qingdao!"

When he heard that the call was from Qingdao, the man perked up a little.

"What did they say over there?"

"The old commander said that things have been a bit unsettled over there in the plateau lately, and it seems like something is brewing..."

After hearing this, the leader burst into laughter.

"This Yangchun, even though he is still ill, he cares a lot about his subordinates!"

He looked at the man and said, "Listen, isn't this the solution?"

"Let Li Xiangyang lead the troops to pacify the plateau?"

The man frowned slightly. "At this juncture, if it is done, it can indeed overcome all objections, but if it is not done, it may not be good for Li Xiangyang's reputation."

"Yangchun always plans carefully and cautiously when deploying troops, and never fights a battle without confidence. Since he said so, he must have confidence in Li Xiangyang."

The leader smiled and said, "In that case, let's do as he said and let Li Xiangyang lead the troops to pacify the plateau!"

"Fighting from north to south is also an old tradition of their four wars!"

Soon, the news reached the ears of the old commander and Dean Liu.

The two had different reactions to this.

"What is the old commander doing?"

The commander frowned, "The situation on the plateau is complicated. How can it be solved so easily?"

He thought about it over and over again, but really couldn't understand what the old commander was thinking.

"Fortunately, Li Xiangyang is a very capable guy, he should be able to handle it."

As for Dean Liu, he was very dissatisfied.

"What on earth was he thinking? Why did he send you to the plateau?"

Seeing the somewhat angry Dean Liu, Li Xiangyang quickly persuaded him, "Dean, calm down. Since my superiors have sent me to the plateau, I will go."

"You kid, you are pretending to be confused even though you know the truth, right?"

Dean Liu knocked on the table and said, "What's so good about this major general? With your merits, you can wait for a few years steadily. Are you still worried about not being promoted to general?"

Hearing this, Li Xiangyang gave a bitter smile.

How could he influence the decisions of these bigwigs?

In fact, Li Xiangyang was very much looking forward to being promoted to general.

No man can resist such temptation.

However, as President Liu said, given his current age and qualifications, it is still too unsafe to be promoted to general.

"Forget it. The order has come down. You have to go whether you want to or not."

Dean Liu looked at him and asked, "How well do you know about the plateau?"

Li Xiangyang thought for a moment and said, "The situation over there has always been complicated. Although we successfully recovered it at the beginning of the founding of the country, in the past few years, their government seems to have been ambitious and secretly planning to launch a rebellion."

"The people there are quite different from those in the Central Plains. Their beliefs are very pure and their thinking is relatively closed."

Dean Liu hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm afraid your trip to the plateau this time won't be smooth. I'll call Teacher Qin and others to help you plan the journey in the next few days."

"Thank you, Dean!"

Li Xiangyang said with some emotion.

"Okay, judging from this, you are indeed popular, and many people speak up for you."

Dean Liu waved his hand and said, "As long as we successfully complete this mission, even if I am promoted to general, no one will say anything bad about it."

Li Xiangyang nodded, feeling a little excited.

If he could really be promoted to a general, his life would not be lived in vain.

However, he didn't know much about the situation on the plateau.

In the following two days, Dean Liu summoned many teachers who had a good relationship with Li Xiangyang.

A group of people got together to analyze the situation on the plateau.

"The plateau has a complex terrain, is vast and sparsely populated, has many ethnic minorities, and the troops are very easy to disperse."

"Fortunately, it's summer now, so the climate there isn't too extreme."

At this time, Teacher Qin smiled and said: "Have you forgotten that Teacher Li fought in the entire Korean War!"

"Talking about extreme weather conditions might scare other people, but would it scare him?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter.

For Li Xiangyang, this is indeed not a problem.

Dean Liu noticed that Li Xiangyang remained silent and seemed to be thinking about something.

"Xiangyang, what's your idea?"
