Chapter 1683: Waiting for the Moment
"Lord, General Ye's words are wrong, even if the wolf clan goes south, Xianyang may not send troops to reinforce, not to mention, it is Meng Tian, the general of the Qin Dynasty, who guards the Great Wall, and there are 300,000 troops, those are all trained by him personally, experienced in a hundred battles, even if the wolf clan is strong, but I am afraid it will be difficult to break through the defense of the Great Wall, in this way, is it possible that Xianyang does not send troops, we will not go on the expedition. ”
General Tang's words are extremely true, the lord, the last general, etc. are willing to fight to the death, rather than waiting for death in the city. ”
"Please think twice, my lord. ”
The generals still did not give up, and wanted to persuade Mi Wen to move troops immediately, Ye Shikai didn't want to argue with them, he only had one mouth, and it was impossible to "quarrel" with more than 20 people, which was meaningless.
"This matter, let me think about it again, you have a point, stand down first, and wait for my order. ”
"Wow. ”
"Wow. ”
"Wow. ”
Ye Shikai walked out of the official mansion alone, he could feel the "vicious" gaze of the generals behind him, if he could turn into a knife, he should have been "cut" into more than a dozen pieces.
In the eyes of these people, Ye Shikai blocked their "way up", which also blocked their "financial road", and naturally wanted to get rid of it quickly, even if he didn't say anything on the surface, Ye Shikai could still feel it.
"A bunch of rats. Ye Shikai scolded coldly, then turned the horse's head and returned to the house.
Yefu.
"The lord summoned me at night, it must be for the purpose of going on an expedition. ”
"Mr. Xu is really superior, and he broke it in one sentence. Ye Shikai nodded in response and poured tea for Xu Jia in person.
"The general is polite. Xu Jia took the tea and said lightly.
"Mr. Xu, I have already persuaded the lord, but I am ashamed to say that those generals who are waiting for death to eat and wait for death, they actually show a heroic and good fight, not afraid of life and death, it is really disgusting, if something happens on the battlefield, they will definitely smear the soles of their feet and slip away, but now the lord is also hesitant, it is really depressing. Ye Shikai didn't drink tea, but poured wine directly, and after a sip of wine, his heart was much more comfortable.
"What makes the general depressed is the date of the expedition or those mediocre generals. The Xu family is not in a hurry, he looks calm and relaxed, he can always give Ye Shikai a "sense of security", perhaps, he is the "think tank" that Ye Shikai is waiting for, a "behind-the-scenes operator".
"All of them, if there are those people in the army, sooner or later they will corrupt military discipline, how can they win a big victory. "When Ye Shikai was in the Qin army, he knew how strict the military discipline of the Qin army was, although there were some people in the army who ate and waited for death, but the Qin Dynasty had strict laws, and once it was discovered, it would definitely be a heavy punishment.
"If you go on an expedition, although I am the commander of the Chu army, but the direct command of me is only 40,000 or 50,000 troops, and the remaining 150,000 people are all under their command. ”
"Don't panic, general, in fact, the lord has already made a choice, doesn't she support you. ”
"What do you mean. Ye Shikai asked rhetorically.
"Although the lord said that she would discuss it another day, but in fact she was delaying, she was waiting for your date, as long as you determined the date of sending troops, she could gather the generals again and go out to attack Bashu, so that she not only met your conditions, but also did not let those generals feel that the lord only listened to you, and their hearts could be balanced. Xu Jia explained.
"I see, Mr. Xu, I understand. Ye Shikai suddenly realized, it turned out that Mi Wen thought so.
"But I also said that if Xianyang does not send troops to reinforce the Great Wall, and our army rushes out to fight, I am afraid that there will be a mistake. Ye Shikai continued, "I'm not sure when the Qin army will set off, if Xianyang doesn't move for a long time, won't it be delayed forever." ”
"General, you were also a general of the Qin army before, and even went to the front line of the Great Wall in person, you should know the strength of the two armies very well. Xu Jia turned his words and asked Ye Shikai about the wolf clan, frankly speaking, at that time, the two armies were facing each other, Ye Shikai adhered to the principle of "knowing oneself and knowing the other, and not being defeated in a hundred battles", and indeed had an in-depth understanding of the wolf army, knew its advantages and disadvantages, analyzed the strength of the two armies, and even simulated several final results, but the final outcome was that the wolf clan was defeated at the foot of the Great Wall, and the Qin army was also a tragic victory.
"Of course it is clear that the wolf clan iron cavalry is good at charging, if it is on flat ground, the two armies are in formation, the Qin army is not an opponent, our Chu army ...... Nor is it by any means its opponent. ”
"Then General Meng Tian's strength, do you know it. ”
"Of course, he's a good conductor, and I'm no match for him. ”
"In that case, do you think that if there is no reinforcement from Xianyang, General Meng can resist the enemy. ”
"Sixty percent of the odds, maybe seventy percent. ”
"In this case, please don't worry, I think it won't be long before Xianyang will inevitably send reinforcements. Xu Jia smiled slightly, with a confident expression.
"What the gentleman said is true. ”
"Haha, every word is true, please rest assured, don't be impatient for a few days, it won't be long before Xianyang will send troops. Xu Jia took his hand and laughed loudly.
"Well, I'll take my word for it. ”
.........................................................
At the door of the mansion, Ye Shikai personally sent Xu Jia to the gate.
"General Ye, please stay, I'll walk by myself on the way back. ”
"Sir is my wise man, or let me send a family member to escort you. ”
"General Ye's face turned red, and he still seemed to be a little anxious, could it be that the general doesn't trust me. Xu Jia said lightly.
"Of course not, sir, of course I believe it. ”
"Actually, at this moment, there is a person who is more anxious than the general, and a hundred times more anxious. ”
"Who. ”
"Of course, it is the lord, she needs your answer, not only to "deal with" you, but also to deal with other generals, it is impossible for the court to fall on one side, so the power will fall, so there must be two or even three forces in the court, mutual restraint, so that the power of the lord can be held in his hands. ”
"What Sir means is that I am one of the forces, and those generals who eat and wait for death are another force, and the lord cannot be too partial to me, nor is he partial to them, but to use me to restrain them, and on the contrary, to use them to restrain me. ”
"That's exactly what I mean, but now it seems that the lord is more partial to you, although she is a woman, she is a pair of discerning eyes, otherwise how can you recognize heroes, if you hand over the military power to those generals, then the Chu army may have been defeated long ago. ”
