Chapter 537 Position
The hot pot has long been removed from the campfire, but Uncle Zheng's heart is still churning.
The king of Jingnan told him the plan of the war against Chu. Even Uncle Zheng, who was used to seeing troubles, was shocked.
This is a national war. If you include civilians, there are millions of people involved.
This is Tian Wujing. When he is running the army and marching, he can be as meticulous as peeling off cocoons, but in terms of general strategy, he can also outline for you the path that belongs to him. blueprint.
The literati of the Qian Dynasty wrote poems and lyrics and often liked "the country is picturesque" and "the country is so beautiful". However, in the eyes of the generals, the country is just a huge sand table with cities, lakes, mountains and hills on it. Whether the country is picturesque or not, they don't know. , because they don’t care, what they care about is using the golden horses under their command as a whip to whip this majestic and vast world.
There is no surprise about my position, it was arranged by King Jingnan early.
Even from this point of view, the battle at Yangshanzhai was a kind of foreshadowing;
Originally Uncle Zheng thought that it was to gain the lead for himself, but now it seems that , the real purpose is not here, King Jingnan’s idea is probably While gaining credit in the early stage, he naturally consumed a lot of strength. Then, he could justifiably lead his subordinates to withdraw from the frontline battlefield to rest, and while accumulating strength in the rear, prepare for the next ship entry. Chu Ben laid the groundwork for attacking Jingcheng.
However, in the battle of Dongshan Fort, even though Shi Yuantang made an unexpected counterattack, he was still pushed back by himself and took advantage of the situation to capture Dongshan Fort.
This actually had no impact on King Jingnan's arrangements, but rather played a better role in promoting it.
Because I don’t have to wait any longer for this unit, I can now retire in a grand manner to replenish my troops and strength, and with the solid military achievements and achievements here, no one dares to say anything about it to my face. Sentence;
Even the people of Chu felt that it was normal not to see the flag with the word "Zheng" in the next battlefield. Uncle Hirano and the troops under his command disappeared. The first battle sequence of the Yan Army on the front line is also a matter of course.
After all, the casualties are not so high.
The rapid attack on Dongshan Fort accelerated King Jingnan’s plan, allowing him to be more relaxed about the arrangement of this flag.
You can even call yourself to his side again and continue to teach by words and deeds.
Just like a general gives an encouraging speech to his soldiers before a war, in order to add more murderous intent to them before charging to kill;
Of course King Jingnan knew that this big attack would attack his opponent. Soldiers and generals represent a lot of challenges and difficulties, so taking this opportunity to draw yourself to your side can be regarded as allowing yourself to embrace it again.
This is one;
The second is that during this period of "rest" and "development", let yourself officially appear beside him and brush up your sense of presence. Improve your status among the army attacking Chu.
Since ancient times, when the leader's cronies are around the leader, they naturally have a detached status, and the subordinates will mostly flatter you. However, once you are decentralized and gilded, there will often be a situation where you are high-minded and low-handed. At the same time, the people who originally flattered you will also look at your jokes. .
Those who are lucky enough to join are not good in any group.
Uncle Zheng has no hidden dangers in this regard, because his military achievements are real. No one in the Yan army... or even in the Chu army will question Uncle Hirano's ability to fight.
Coupled with the almost unabashed importance of King Jingnan, supporting Ping Yebo in the Yan army can be said to be twice the result with half the effort.
The afternoon wind blew in, bringing with it a heat wave, which finally made Uncle Zheng wake up from his previous emotional turmoil.
He pointed at the remaining maocai and said to Gongsun Zhuan and Gong Lin:
"Don't waste food."
"Yes, uncle."
"Yes, uncle."
Uncle Zheng stood up and seemed to have thought of something, and said:
"In the afternoon, you will draw out the defense patterns near the king's tent and give them to me."
Gongsun Huan and Gong Lin both showed excitement on their faces. They thought that Uncle Hirano was teaching them. .
But Uncle Zheng just felt that it would be difficult to let them stay here in such a desolate way. When he went to see their father in the future, he would not be easy to talk to, so he just assigned them a random job, regardless of whether it made sense or not, and let them do it first. Let’s talk about it when we get busy.
After leaving his tent, Uncle Zheng walked back to the royal tent. After opening the curtain, Tian Wujing was already sitting in the front seat.
Where Uncle Zheng sat in the morning, there were more discounts piled up.
Uncle Zheng didn't say anything. He sat back quietly and began to give instructions.
Zhezi were constantly being sent in, both from the rear and from the front;
At the same time, Uncle Zheng had to write and inquire about the zhezi on behalf of King Jingnan and send them out.
It’s still the same method as before. It’s a cliché to talk about process-based things. Uncle Zheng follows the trend and streamlines things. If some ideas need to be taken and it’s not a difficult problem, Uncle Zheng himself will give instructions, and some questions need to be processed. Those who King Jingnan glanced at again were placed alone.
After submitting it,
Tian Wujing ignored the other two piles and picked up the three folds placed together separately.
One is that a guard of Xue Chugui's department was drinking in the camp. The military disciplinary officer of Xue Chugui's department gave him a penalty of reduction in rank and salary before being demoted to the forward camp.
When Uncle Zheng gave the instructions, he sent the owl to the whole army.
One is that after Ma Youliang's tribe failed to attack a military stronghold, the centurion died in the battle, and the remaining ten were withdrawn and sentenced to death.
In the laws of the Yan army, the general died in battle without winning, while his subordinates were buried alive.
The instructions given by Uncle Zheng were: withdraw the beheading and send forward troops to punish the enemy.
One report was that a group fight involving hundreds of people broke out in the civilian camp of the Luoling tribe. The cause was that a group of Shanxi civilians found that their food was worse than that of Yandi civilians, which caused dissatisfaction.
The military disciplinary officer ordered the leader of the troublemakers on both sides to be beheaded and the lieutenants of the civilian camps on both sides to be beheaded, and the followers to be whipped.
It can be said that each has thirty big boards.
The instructions given by Uncle Zheng were to punish only the civilian husbands of Shanxi and the civilian husbands' camp and school lieutenants.
Punishment in the army is often bloody, because the army is a weapon of killing, and the law must be strict, otherwise it will be impossible to restrain these Qiu Ba who lick the blood from the tip of the knife.
Therefore, the judgment is often accompanied by beheading, which is very different from the local magistrate who likes to be docile and cautious about human life when judging cases.
Because Tian Wujing likes to pay attention to details and control in personal military affairs and military management, these details will be presented to the king's account for Tian Wujing to review.
A large army gathered, including combat soldiers, auxiliary soldiers and civilians, adding up to more than one million people. Because the imperial power did not go to the countryside, the Fuzhou prefect of Yandi would not actually control so many people.
Tian Wujing put down the first letter and said:
"Xue Chugui is not strict in governing the army, so he can be whipped twenty times."
This is because King Jingnan felt that just killing the guard was not enough, and he had to punish the general as well.
Tian Wujing put down the second excerpt and said:
"A siege battle is different from a field charge. The military law office is different. It is issued to the entire army for review. Order them to make their own decisions."
On the snowy plains, Li Fusheng's troops retreated from the rear because of this habit of Zhenbei Army. As a result, the soldiers did not return, causing more casualties.
The general takes the lead, and the soldiers protect the general. In this atmosphere, the army can have real combat effectiveness and be fearless. But that is a field battle, and siege warfare requires too many details. It is a completely different way of war, and some military laws, It's out of season.
As for the third fold,
Tian Wujing raised his head, glanced at Zheng Fan, dropped the fold,
said:
"Say Say.”
The fight between the common people was a fight between the common people of Yan and the common people of Jin. It stands to reason that the original punishment of the military disciplinary officer was correct. At the moment, the overall situation should be given priority. The people and soldiers of Jin are also a force that cannot be ignored in the attack on Chu.
"The general thought that the food for the common people was decided by the superiors. The responsibility for this matter should also lie with the superiors. Besides..."
"Is it deliberate partiality?"
King Jingnan interrupted Uncle Zheng.
“Yes.”
"Why."
"Our army is the army of Yan, the people of Yan. We have traveled across mountains and rivers from Yan to participate in the national war. We should be given preferential treatment."
"I thought that you, Prince of Pingye, were the best." What I like to talk about is that the literati are all educated without distinction. "
Because under the command of Pingye Bo, the Yan people are not the majority. The barbarians, Jin people, and the current savages are the real majority.
“Your Majesty, the general’s subordinates are a special case. Looking at the overall situation, the people we can really rely on in this battle against Chu are the Lao Yan people. If they were in my department, I would use other methods. But this incident happened in Luoling Department, which is the prince's Jingnan Army Headquarters, so it cannot be handled like this
The Sixth Prince once pointed at the barbarians and said to the last general that barbarians are afraid of power but not moral. The Jin people are not barbarians, but at least for now, the Jin people, as the newly conquered people of our country, are swept away by our country again. Entering this national war, their dissatisfaction is certain.
So, if a bowl of water is flat, Jin people will not appreciate it, and Yan people will be sad.
Instead of falling at both ends, it is better to grasp the root first.
Yan and Jin are equal, treating the Jin people as Yan people, and turning the Jin people into Yan people. We have to wait until we break Zhennan Pass and eliminate the threat from Chu before we have enough energy to do so. ”
Finally,
Uncle Zheng added solemnly:
“No matter what the situation, the old Yan people, the Yan people, and the Yan army will always be the true foundation of my country.”
Tian Wujing looked at Zheng Fan seriously,
Zheng Fan stood there calmly.
Finally,
Tian Wujing nodded,
said:
“That’s it.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Help me. A, follow me and go to Li Fusheng’s department.”
Uncle Zheng helped King Jingnan put on his armor.
Subsequently,
there were soldiers outside who brought the two of them.
With only more than a hundred horses as escort, Uncle Zheng and King Jingnan left the Chinese army stronghold together.
Gongsun Zhen, who was drawing drawings and taking notes, raised his head and looked at the team that had just left. He was still young and couldn't help but said:
"Uncle, he looks just like the prince."
Same Pixiu,
Same golden armor,
There is also an inexplicable feeling that makes people feel I think they are very similar.
Gong Lin heard this,
Said:
“My father said that our uncle is the successor designated by the prince.”
Immediately,
Gong Lin realized that she had said too much. Gongsun Huan was too young, so he was careless and talked too much.
Unexpectedly, Gongsun Huan nodded and said:
"My father also said so."
......
Compared with the rapid defeat of Dongshan Fort, Xishan Fort fell into a long stalemate and fierce battle.
If Li Fusheng were to choose, he would definitely be more willing to choose Zheng Fan's situation.
The defenders fought out, and he pushed over again. With a quick move, the battle was over.
Better than now...
"Straight bitch, I'm so angry!"
Li Fusheng dropped the military flag in his hand and spat on the ground.
Today's offensive stopped again, the Yan army began to retreat, and the Chu people on the city wall cheered.
"Report, general, the prince and the wild uncle are here!"
When Li Fusheng heard this, his face flashed with shame and annoyance again.
It’s not that he has a grudge against anyone, but that the war has been anxious and has not improved. He is really embarrassed to see Tian Wujing. As for Zheng Fan, he actually came too. Looking at his record, there is really nothing he can do Than, I always feel like I will look stupid!
You know, last time in his handsome tent, when King Jingnan told him that Zheng Fan had no problem, he was still very unconvinced.
Rubbed his face vigorously with both hands several times,
Li Fusheng ordered a guard beside him:
"Order the generals to hold a military meeting.
Also, go, didn't I ask you to find new leather boots last time? Bring them."
"Yes, general."
The generals ignored the fatigue of attacking the city in a day and hurried to the military meeting in the commander's tent.
Everyone’s expressions were a little solemn.
When the siege failed to make much progress at the beginning, Li Fusheng was still normal.
After the Dongshan Fort was breached, Li Fusheng would scold everyone in military meetings with a sullen face every day.
Everyone is accustomed to this. After all, this is not the first day they have fought under their own general.
Some of the subordinate military leaders saw that these legitimate sons were still being scolded, so they didn’t think it was a big deal. Anyway, they were scolded together.
But this time I heard that King Jingnan came again, and he also brought Uncle Hirano with him.
Not only Li Fusheng, the general, felt ashamed, but the generals below also felt heavy pressure.
Every department in an army will secretly compete with each other, let alone those under the command of one group of general soldiers and those under the command of another group of general soldiers.
The most important thing is, what kind of soldiers are under Hirano Bo's command?
They are barbarians, Jin people and it is said that there are also barbarian slave soldiers.
What kind of soldiers are they?
They are the direct descendants of the Zhenbei Army who followed Li Fusheng from the desert to the Guoqian Kingdom to the capital and then to the Jin Kingdom!
The barbarians were their defeated generals, and the Jin Kingdom was defeated by them. Barbarians, what the hell is that!
But that’s it, Renping Yebo simply took Dongshan Fort, but he still hasn’t seen much improvement on his side. How can he not be depressed?
In the handsome tent,
Tian Wujing was sitting on the handsome seat that belonged to Li Fusheng.
Uncle Zheng stood aside,
feeling that all he needed was a whisk.
After the generals came in, they all saluted King Jingnan first, then saluted Uncle Zheng, and then separated into two columns.
Finally,
Li Fusheng came in, and there was movement outside.
Noise is most taboo in the army, especially within the commander's tent.
Jingnan King opened his mouth and said;
"What's going on outside?"
Li Fusheng replied: "Returning to the prince, this is not the last time I made a bet with the prince. If Uncle Hirano can take Dongshan Fort in just a few days, so let's boil the boots and eat them. At the moment, the pot is cooking outside."
King Jingnan shook his head and ignored this.
The corners of Zheng Fan's mouth moved slightly, and it was not convenient for him to say anything.
To put it bluntly, it was just a joke. King Jingnan would not take it seriously, let alone raise it in front of everyone and ask Li Fusheng to fulfill it.
After all, no matter how much Tian Wujing doted on Zheng Fan, he would never look like this.
But Li Fusheng proposed it himself, and his purpose was very clear. He was willing to use himself as a raft to make Zheng Fan famous.
Shame and anger are shame and anger,
But for a long time, Li Fusheng has regarded Zheng Fan as his junior.
He was the oldest among the seven general soldiers of the former Zhenbei Hou Mansion. Although he often went crazy on the battlefield and liked to take the lead in fighting, in other aspects, he actually lived a very clear life.
If he takes the initiative to mention it today, this matter will definitely spread again and become a piece of wonderful news for Uncle Hirano.
Fortunately, it will take some time to cook the boots. Next, under the chairmanship of Tian Wujing, a military meeting began. What was discussed was nothing more than the gains and losses of the siege in these days.
Everyone talked a lot, but Uncle Zheng kept listening and did not express his own opinions.
Even
my mind began to return to the previous incident in the king's tent.
The blind man once analyzed the position of King Jingnan with himself. It is obvious that King Jingnan has become indifferent to the concept of "home", or has given up on his own initiative. Therefore, supporting his The one who has faith is the "country".
What is the foundation of Dayan's country? It is the people of Yan.
As his relationship with King Jingnan continues to get closer, Uncle Zheng has not felt like "accompanying a king like a tiger" for a long time, but this does not mean that Uncle Zheng has relaxed his vigilance.
That excerpt, including the questions asked by King Jingnan, actually contained considerations about Zheng Fan's own political stance.
After all, there are still too few real Yan people under Zheng Fan. If it is true that "there is no discrimination"...
From the perspective of political correctness, it must be To achieve equality for all living beings.
Tian Wujing would not simply say that because he is a Yan person, he should prefer the Yan people, but from his perspective, only by adhering to the program of focusing on the Yan people can he allow this person to conquer the south. The territories conquered in the Northern War and the empire developed have continued.
This is a political stance. Uncle Zheng currently has no choice but to follow King Jingnan.
While he was wandering in his mind,
Suddenly,
Zheng Uncle saw King Jingnan looking at him,
“What do you think?”
He just deserted. They were so engrossed in the conversation that Uncle Zheng completely forgot what they were talking about before, and just said:
"The prince is right."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of many generals in the commander's tent suddenly changed, and some even showed extremely clear expressions of indignation.
Uncle Zheng suddenly felt something was wrong.
Tian Wujing nodded and said:
"Well, you also agree with what I said, they are indeed useless."
"..." Uncle Zheng.
But this is not the most embarrassing thing,
The most embarrassing thing is,
Then,
Tian Wujing pointed to Li Fusheng below,
Said:
"In this case, let Mr. Hirano take command for you for two days."
"!!!" Zheng Fan. (End of this chapter)
