Chapter 171: The Discord Scheme
When he was out of the city, Han Ming also met an acquaintance.
The doctor was walking on Gyeonggi Avenue with his bags on his back, and it seemed that he was going to the east.
As soon as Han Ming saw this life-saving benefactor, he immediately became enthusiastic. After all, he saved his life, and before Han Ming could thank him at that time, the person was gone. Now that it happened to happen, Han Ming was ready to thank him.
However, I heard that the doctor said that a friend's daughter had a strange disease, and he had to rush to treat it, which made Han Ming a little helpless, but the doctor was benevolent, and he could understand it, so he didn't force him to stay.
This is kind of an episode.
Because there were not many people with him, within a few days, Han Ming led the army to Zhoukou to cross the Chu army camp.
Liu Zhixian, Xu Hua, Feng Yu and other generals came out to greet him from afar, and now Han Ming is the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses who commanded the three armies of Central Chu, with the rank of general, the highest position among the generals, and a very popular minister.
As soon as Han Ming arrived, he first learned about the situation in the camp of the army opposite.
In the previous battle, Zhou Cheng's navy had broken Liu Zhixian's warship, and he wanted to expand the results of the battle, but because of Liao Song's harassment, Zhou Cheng had to divide his troops to intercept it, so he finally gave up.
But the newly built warships of the Chu army will definitely not be used, which makes Liu Zhixian very annoyed, and now that Han Ming is in office, the problem is thrown to him.
After Han Ming understood the specific situation, he ordered to everyone: "Order, the warship still needs to be repaired, but the main focus must be on the training of soldiers. Generals, go down and tell your soldiers that we are about to face a big battle, so get everyone ready to face it. ”
Liu Zhixian was a little puzzled when he heard this order, and asked suspiciously: "Marshal, what is this...... Just after the First World War, the army won't come back for a short time, right?"
Han Ming waved his hand, looking indifferent.
"Don't worry about that, just train the soldiers. ”
"Ordered. Since Han Ming had already spoken, Liu Zhixian didn't ask, and simply replied.
"Okay, let's go down and make arrangements, Xu Hua stays. ”
Han Ming retreated from everyone, leaving Xu Hua alone, so that everyone could not figure out his purpose.
It was only later that someone saw Xu slip out and directly left the Zhoukoudu camp with a battalion of soldiers and walked upstream.
Han Ming claimed that this move was to let Xu Hua garrison Zimudu upstream to prevent a sneak attack by the Li army.
Zimudu is different from Zhoukou Ferry, although the ferry is not small, but there is sediment along the coast of Zimudu, and large warships cannot dock, so naturally there is no need to attack.
If the Li army went ashore at Zimudu, the number would definitely not be large, and it would not be able to pose a threat to the Chu army camp. After all, there is no second army as threatening as the Forbidden Cavalry.
Therefore, some people think that this decision made by Han Ming is purely redundant.
Not only that, but in the next few days, the generals never saw Han Ming again, although the big boat of Zhoukou Ferry was still under construction, and the training of soldiers was still going on, but Han Ming's movements were always a mystery.
It wasn't until a soldier saw that Han Ming often went to the riverbank of Zhoukou Ferry with a woman to fish and enjoy flowers, and everyone understood what Han Ming was doing during this time.
Generals like Liu Zhixian and Feng Yu, although they didn't know why Han Ming made these moves, with their trust in Han Ming, they suppressed the doubts in their hearts for the time being.
But some people quit.
After Chen Feng was defeated by the forbidden cavalry army at Zhoukoudu, he fled all the way west, and only barely escaped the pursuing army after passing through a county.
Mainly because Hou Yu was in a hurry to raid Beijing, Zhou Cheng was worried about Hou Yu's safety, so he did not chase after him, but let Chen Feng go.
Later, he heard that Liu Zhixian led the troops to drive Zhou's army back to the north bank of the Henghe River, and he rushed to Zhoukoudu with the remnants of the defeated army and took refuge with Liu Zhixian.
After all, Chen Feng was defeated by the forbidden cavalry, and now that Shangjing is safe, the imperial court did not issue a decree to blame Chen Feng. Of course, this is not unrelated to the influence of the Chen family in Shangjing.
Chen Feng had heard of Han Ming's deeds in Shangjing before, but Han Ming's status was low at that time, and he didn't take it seriously at all.
I didn't expect it to be a long time? Han Ming actually became the generalissimo of the three armies, which immediately impressed him, and he also had the idea of making friends.
But when he saw Han Ming for the first time, he felt that the generalissimo of the three armies in front of him was a little too young. He didn't expect Han Ming to have the age of Feng Sheng and Old Man Feng, at least Liu Zhixian had to be at his age.
In the army, age means experience, it means your ability, and now seeing that Han Ming is about the same age as him, or maybe even younger than him, Chen Feng feels a little uncomfortable in his heart.
It just so happened that he heard that Han Ming had taken a woman to play around during the time he had disappeared, which immediately added a sense of contempt to his already jealous heart.
"General Chen, this Han Ming is simply too much. At the moment of the great enemy, he actually took a woman to wander around, and he didn't pay attention to the war at all. ”
Chen Feng's lieutenant came to Chen Feng's camp with a group of generals.
Although Chen Feng was also dissatisfied with Han Ming in his heart, he knew that Han Ming was now the generalissimo of the three armies, and he was the commander of the army of the Henghe River, so what would he do to fight Han Ming?
But he thought of a candidate.
"Okay, okay, I know what you're asking for. But after all, the generalissimo was personally appointed by His Majesty, and the general was inferior and low-powered, so how could he have any words, but if you can reflect this matter to General Liu, you should be more useful than me. ”
Chen Feng directed everyone's dissatisfaction to Liu Zhixian, and now in the entire military camp, only Liu Zhixian has a heavy army in his hands and has a great right to speak. If he is also dissatisfied with Han Ming, then there is a drama to watch.
Chen Feng wanted to win over Liu Zhixian first, as long as Liu Zhixian was also dissatisfied with Han Ming, he would be able to plan a soldier riot, and then casually create a scene of a soldier mutiny and mistakenly killing the general.
In this way, in addition to this guy who makes him feel an eyesore, he can also help Liu Zhixian hold military power, and in this troubled era, the court does not dare to surrender easily.
At that time, with his relationship in the court and the power in Liu Zhixian's hands, the stinky girl emperor is not at the mercy of others.
Chen Feng thought about things very well, but he ignored an essential problem, that is, he thought of Liu Zhixian too simply.
As soon as the generals instigated by Chen Feng arrived in front of Liu Zhixian, they had just expressed their dissatisfaction with Han Ming, and they were immediately detained by Liu Zhixian on the grounds of inciting the army.
Later, directly in front of the whole army, the marching method.
This scene frightened Chen Feng, he didn't expect this Liu Zhixian to do things so desperately, seven or eight generals directly raised their swords and cut them all.
In addition to being frightened, Chen Feng despised Liu Zhixian very much in his heart, in his opinion, Liu Zhixian did all these things for Han Ming to see. Because Han Ming was the generalissimo of soldiers and horses appointed by His Majesty the Emperor, he wanted to cling to Han Ming, so he killed chickens and monkeys, just to show loyalty to Han Ming.
Chen Feng also secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately he didn't come out at that time, otherwise Liu Zhixian would definitely have to take the knife on himself. Although it will not cut itself, but suppress it, it must be certain.
Here Chen Feng is constantly adding drama to himself, and over there Liu Zhixian has just finished cutting a few generals and found Han Ming.
This time, it was Liu Zhixian's own idea to deal with these generals by military law, and Han Ming didn't know about it. At that time, Han Ming was strolling along the embankment of the Henghe River with Ye Die.
"You have a good hand, you act decisively, and you have the style of a general. After listening to Liu Zhixian's narration, Han Ming praised him.
"As a general, you should be based on military orders. These people disrespect the general's order, leave their posts without permission, gather people to do things, and criticize the boss, which one is a capital crime alone, so naturally there is no reason to hesitate. ”
"Hmm. Han Ming nodded, and at the end, he looked at Liu Zhixian and asked, "Aren't you curious about my recent moves?"
"The marshal acts in his own unique way, the last general only needs to act according to the order, and the last general does not ask the rest that the general should not ask. Liu Zhixian replied.
Hearing this answer, Han Ming smiled, "That's right, it's really good." I'll tell you the truth, I'm waiting, waiting for news. ”
After speaking, Han Ming motioned for Liu Zhixian to leave.
Liu Zhixian had already guessed that Han Ming must have a plan, and when he heard him say this, he felt a lot more relieved, and after respectfully saluting, he retreated.
Three days later, Han Ming received a secret letter, and there was only one sentence on the letter: The matter has been completed, and it has been returned.
When Han Ming saw this letter, he immediately took the case, startling the crazy Qi and Ye Die beside him.
Han Ming suppressed his excitement and said without changing his face: "Get up and go and call a few generals over."
Ten days ago, the army camp on the north bank of the Henghe River ......
"Marshal, how could Your Majesty give such an order?" Min Zheng looked indignant.
"Yes, Dashuai, I can't leave you here. Liao Ziping also spoke, and when he looked around, he saw that his left arm was empty.
The rest of the generals also expressed their dissatisfaction to Zhou Cheng.
"Alas!" Zhou Cheng sighed, and said helplessly: "Your Majesty doubts me, if I don't go back, won't it confirm Your Majesty's suspicions." After I left, the affairs of the army were represented by General Min. Remember, be vigilant, pay attention to the movements of the Chu army on the south bank at any time, and remember not to fight at will if there is an accident. ”
Min Zheng immediately knelt on the ground and replied: "Please rest assured, as long as I, Min Zheng, am still here, I will not let the Chu army step across the Henghe River for half a step." ”
"Hmm. Zhou Cheng nodded, he still believed in Min Zheng's ability, as long as he could do what he explained, it would not be a big problem to hold the north shore.
This time, an urgent order came from Tiandu City, urging him to return to Beijing to report on his work and explain the ban on cavalry.
When the war was tight, Zhou Cheng really couldn't understand why the imperial court would give such an order, but he was helpless, if he didn't return, he would definitely tell the truth that he supported the army and respected himself.
Zhou Cheng's political enemies in the DPRK will also attack him en masse, and he will not be able to argue even if he has a hundred mouths at that time.
As for the matter of leading the army to stand on his own feet, as some people think, he never thought about it, you must know that the hundreds of thousands of troops he led are all from the territory of the country. Self-reliance? The generals are willing, and it depends on whether the soldiers are willing or not.
Early in the morning of the second day, Zhou Cheng left the barracks and headed for the Tiandu City of Liguo.
Before leaving, he also took a special look at Henghe, and he didn't know if he could see this wide and longitudinal natural danger again.
