Chapter 147
If you look at the aesthetics of Daqi, even if Sun Jie is middle-aged, he can afford the praise of "beautiful posture". www.biquge.info But at this moment, he lost his usual graceful demeanor, and walked left and right in the inner room restlessly, seeing that the incense was about to burn out, and the staff had not yet come up with a result, so he couldn't help but urge: "Everyone, you have been discussing it for so long, so you can come up with a way!" ”
Hearing his urging, all the staff members were silent.
Sun Jie's staff members are not Sun Jie's own relatives; Brothers and sisters who study together; It is a child of the Han clan who is bent on clinging to the powerful and getting ahead. These people are all good at infighting, how to curry favor with the top, how to balance the forces, how to skillfully attack the big households in the county, and seek more benefits for themselves without breaking their muscles and bones...... But when they were in such a dilemma and needed to show their military strategy, they were as if they were dumb, and they couldn't think of what to do for a long time.
Seeing the attitude of the staff, Sun Jiexin's heart was half cold.
He naturally knows that the crux of the problem does not lie in the "enemy" but in the "own people." If it weren't for Dou Kai's heart disease and the conflict between the requirements of the big family, he would not have been so embarrassed that he would be biased...... Thinking of this, he couldn't help but grit his teeth secretly, cursing Xu Hui for "being as sincere as a snake and scorpion", but his heart was really sad and uneasy.
Most of Sun Jie's staff members are white, counting on the lord to eat, and he will be both prosperous and lossy, so naturally he is also anxious at this time, and some people are so anxious that their mouths are foaming. Seeing that the emotions of the big families were becoming more and more uncontrollable, they almost pointed at Sun Jie's nose and threatened, and they were also anxious, so everyone looked at me, I looked at me, and finally there was a mediocre looking scribe who walked out, arched his hand to Sun Jie, and said: "Say something that you don't like to hear, the enemy has forced you into a dilemma, what you can do is to weigh the two sides, take the one that is more beneficial to you, and the loss is smaller." ”
Sun Jie swallowed his saliva and asked urgently, "Take it lighter?" But what can be done to be light? ”
"It's nothing more than eight characters -- don't seek merit, but seek no fault."
"But ......" Sun Jie's heart was entangled with all kinds of thoughts, and he didn't have a fixed number for a long time, and only asked after a while, "Now I'm not advancing, nor is I retreating, how can I be faultless?" ”
When the scribe heard this, he pretended to smile profoundly, and because of Dou Kai's deterrence, he deliberately lowered his voice and asked Sun Jie: "You say, who is most responsible for the failure of this invasion of Shangdang?" The enemy counterattacked Taiyuan and cut wheat outside Qi County, who suffered the most losses? ”
The people who can be officials, except for the backstage is too hard, the rest will not be fools, as soon as the scribe said this, Sun Jie came back to his senses: "What do you mean...... But what's the use of that? After that, he said with some heartache, "This official is outside the county, but there are also ...... It's a lot of good land. ”
Seeing Sun Jie ask like this, the scribe knew that he was moving, even if his voice was extremely low, there was a hint of trembling: "The envoy has only given up a season of rice and wheat, but he can attack and retreat." Doing this will not offend Dou Fujun or Xu Fujun, but it can also weaken the strength of the big families, no matter who blames it, the responsibility will be ......."
Sun Jie was not such a self-sacrificing person, and he was so encouraged by the scribes that the balance in his heart had already shifted to this side. Thinking of the failure of Dou He and Dou Cheng, he thought that "it is not good to be a teacher, wouldn't it be that the number of lives is not allowed", and at the same time he made up his mind to do what the scribe said.
I heard that the gate of Qi County, which had been closed for several days, was opened, and soldiers came out one after another, and a scout Pegasus had already reported to Xu Hui, and the soldiers who were originally cutting wheat were also under the order of the commander, put down the rice and wheat, and returned to the barracks.
Xu Hui stood on a high place, squinting at the formation of the other party, and after a while, he evoked a mocking smile: "The way to attack the city, if you attack the heart first, we haven't fought yet, Sun Jie has the meaning of surrendering." ”
The county order of Qi County is fat, not deeply related, Dou Kai trusts can't be, because he heard Xu Hui's judgment, Xu Lin still didn't believe it at all, so he said: "I heard that Sun Jie and Dou Kai have been close friends for many years, and they are still sons and daughter......s."
"If Sun Jie really has the heart to contribute, how can he let you make your own contributions? Sun Jie is not guilty of even being offended, no matter what the result is, he can reap the benefits! Xu Hui has always disagreed with the so-called "close friends" and "in-laws" shown by the old oilmen in the officialdom, after all, they are high-ranking lords, high-ranking officials and eunuchs, and they have always turned their faces faster than turning books, and everything is good for themselves, so who really cares about "faith"? If it weren't for this, she wouldn't have cherished her friendship with Qi Fang so much, after all, it is too rare for a man like Qi Fang to be truly trustworthy and passionate.
The virtue of the family, Su Can will not know much less than Xu Hui, so he added slowly: "Sun Yuanjun of Qi County, he is really a smart person, much better than the rats who are hungry for profit, reluctant to take immediate benefits, and short-sighted." ”
When Xu Hui heard this, he snorted disapprehantly, obviously displeased Sun Jie's behavior of wanting to save his life and even retain his official position before the war started, after all, all lords like loyal courtiers and don't like such sleek wall grass.
Su Can smiled slightly, as if he had never heard of it at all, and only said: "There is much help for the righteous, but little help for the unjust, it is really the world that does not become the truth." If Dou Kai can be more tolerant, not so gloomy and ruthless, he will repay his eyes, and it will not make people feel so cold, not only do he not swear to die to repay, but when he encounters a major event, he will first think about self-protection and retreat. ”
Xu Hui listened to these words comfortably, because she had no doubt that her family belonged to the category of "getting". But she also knows very well in her heart that even if she "gets" again, the villains at both ends of the first mouse will never be missing.
Even though he was disgusted in his heart, Xu Hui also understood the truth of buying bones with a thousand dollars, and knew that if he wanted to achieve great things, he had to be compatible and reserved, and he must not follow his own mind, so he said with a lack of interest: "These big families are reluctant to take out all their troops, and they want to defeat us with some parts that have not been run in and have not seen blood, which is really ridiculous." Since they despise us so much, let's win with one blow and shatter the sweet dreams in their hearts, and add weight by the way! ”
After that, she looked at the topography of Qi County, and added without saltiness: "This kind of terrain is a good place to charge." ”
She said this, and the people below naturally understood, since the fight, the heavy cavalry, who had only been active in Nexian once, received the order, and they were all very excited, and under the service of the servants, they put the thick armor on one by one, and by the way, they checked the condition of the horses one last time. And the blue light of the head of the heavy cavalry, was ordered by Xu Lin, and he forcibly said that he would definitely complete the task.
I have to say that even if it is put together temporarily, the team composed of the tribes of various large families and even the family members, with a large number of people, is armed, even if they do not listen to each other's commands, there is a whispering buzzing sound everywhere, and from a distance, it is quite decent.
The temporary military camp of the Shangdang Xu clan was stationed ten miles away from Qi County, and the thousands of people brought by Xu Hui were also divided into three waves, one wave to cut wheat, one wave to inspect the surroundings, and one wave to camp in the barracks, which seemed to be really unimposing to the extreme. Even at this moment, there are nearly 1,000 people in the military camp of the Shangdang Xu clan, and they are slowly advancing, and the number of people is not bad with the faction here.
Without the overwhelming pressure of nearly 10,000 soldiers coming to the city, these family members who are used to showing off their might to the people on weekdays are also a little proud, and even complacent, feeling that the enemy is not worthy of their own enemy, otherwise how could they all list the formation, the enemy is not quick to fight, just lined up on the side, and did not respond for a long time? But after a few moments they heard the trembling of the earth, the heavy rhythm of the horses' hooves as they stepped on the ground.
These family members didn't have time to retract their complacency, and they saw the cavalry charging not far away, like a black torrent and like a cold spear!
The family in Qi County has done the most to take care of the home; The status is high, and he can go out with his master and oppress and oppress the people; If you get fat, you can also collect rent from your own hermitage and even the people in the countryside. In short, they have always had the upper hand, condescendingly bullying the helpless people. And this kind of person, in Xu Hui's evaluation, can only be called "incompetent and vicious dog", when he encounters someone weaker than himself, he bares his teeth and grins, like a hungry wolf, but if he meets someone stronger than himself......
"Broken with one blow, scattered and fled." Xu Hui calmly commented on the enemy, and was too lazy to watch the scene of the cavalry and foot soldiers harvesting the enemy's head, but only mentioned lightly, "Remember to tell these guys, don't get too close to the city gate, beware of being affected by the other party's stones, and losing your life in vain." ”
When he returned to the tent, Xu Huiping retreated from everyone, seemingly drawing on the map, but his heart was extremely heavy.
The big ones in the city...... Family...... If you say before, Xu Hui's view of these land snakes was only stuck in the "double-edged sword", if you use it well, you can appease the people, and if you use it badly, you will easily compete with yourself for power and profit.
"The Han clan is a big family, and it will not be a climate in the end, and it can restrain Sun Jiede, and it is undoubtedly the family in Taiyuan County that has the power in Qi County...... No wonder my grandfather said that the more children of the Han clan, the better, so that they can be used at ease, and even the famous emperor also likes to appoint Han courtiers. Xu Hui breathed a long sigh of relief, muttered to himself, and muttered softly, "It seems that I have to use less of the old people brought by my family and promote more guys from the Han clan." ”
The children of the family and the loyal servants of the Xu family all have room to bet, but only the children of the Han clan ...... Thinking of this, Xu Hui sighed lightly, feeling strange for himself.
Born in a family, he enjoys all the favorable conditions of the family, but he hopes that there is no family with privileges other than himself.
The selfishness of the human heart can be seen. (To be continued.) )
