Chapter 15: Too Unkind
Dayan Camp.
Dayan's commander Guan Yuanzhong was also in a meeting with his subordinates.
"Why, there's no news from the rebels?" Guan Yuanzhong asked a general who looked quite young with a stern face.
The general immediately got up and replied, "Back to the marshal, the spies are bringing back some news." It's just that the messages don't matter and don't seem to be of much use. Even if the Red Lotus Army makes any decisions, it will avoid Fu Jingshan and his party, and even Fu Jingshan doesn't seem to be able to dictate to the Red Lotus Army. However, the spy said that the Red Lotus Army has been desperately protecting Fu Jingshan, and it seems that they value him very much, and if we want to kill Fu Jingshan, we will definitely not be able to avoid the Red Lotus Army. ”
Guan Yuanzhong nodded expressionlessly and said, "The Red Lotus Army did protect Fu Jingshan very closely, and I don't know how much benefit that Fu Jingshan gave to that Qin You'an, so that they could do so hard." ”
There was a bit of heaviness and displeasure in his tone.
For the Red Lotus Army, I have fought a few times, and I also have a lot of understanding of them, although the Red Lotus Army is an army composed of women, its combat effectiveness is not low at all, and it can be regarded as a good general wherever it is placed, not to mention, there are 20,000 elite Qin family army auxiliaries.
And the soldiers under his command, although they have a great advantage in numbers, do not dare to guarantee that they will be able to win the other party. What's more, the other side still has such a powerful weapon.
He didn't pay much attention to firearms before, not only him, but the entire Dayan didn't seem to pay much attention to firearms, but he didn't expect him to plant a big heel in their hands.
This made him pay attention to firearms, and he planned to report to the prime minister when he went back, he must pay attention to firearms, and it is best to build some firearms for them.
Soon, though, he smiled wryly and threw the thought out of his mind.
What is the situation in the court now, he is thousands of miles away, and he knows it clearly.
There was no silver in the treasury for a long time, and the imperial court couldn't even pay the military salary, so they had to figure out their own way. Now, the soldiers under his command, whether it is the armor on their bodies or the weapons in their hands, are old and barely usable. Most of the things that were a little eye-catching were snatched from Fu Jingshan's hands.
Fu Jingshan is a fortune boy for him.
Fu Jingshan is not short of money and food, not short of weapons, and not even short of people, weapons and equipment are better than Dayan's regular army, but the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty are defeated like a mountain in front of Dayan, who has already sunset, and the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty are faint and cowardly from top to bottom, and most of the generals under Fu Jingshan are straw bales, and they will only say that they will not do it, and they will surrender if they are slightly frustrated.
Because of this, the rebels who surrendered sent them countless money, food, weapons, and even soldiers.
No matter what Da Yan lacks, as long as he attacks Da Zhou, he will definitely get his wish.
Even he himself has grown so strong, otherwise, with Dayan's current situation, he would not be able to raise so many troops.
They were sucking Fu Jingshan's blood and attacking him in turn.
But Fu Jingshan didn't notice it, he was afraid of them to death, and not long after he attacked the city, he abandoned the city and fled.
Guan Yuanzhong originally thought that catching up with Fu Jingshan and killing him would be as easy as a snap for him. Unexpectedly, at the most critical juncture, he killed a Cheng biting gold, making him fall short and lose face, if the news is transmitted back to Kyoto, with Prime Minister Sun Cheng's patience, he will never be given a second chance.
The Prime Minister will only look at the results.
If he wants to make up for his mistakes, he must kill Fu Jingshan.
Only in this way can he keep his official position, save his glory and wealth, and the lives of his family.
But the problem is that if he wants to kill Fu Jingshan, he must face the powerful Red Lotus Army.
He finally came to pull up 80,000 soldiers and horses, and even half of the troops were borrowed, he really didn't want to fight with the Red Lotus Army and lose tens of thousands of troops.
Moreover, the Red Lotus Army's escape without a fight not only did not make him excited, but made him start to be vigilant, and as he got closer and closer to Qin You'an's territory, this vigilance and uneasiness became stronger, and he didn't want to fight the Red Lotus Army more and more.
If you want to kill Fu Jingshan and avoid confrontation with the Red Lotus Army, you have to find another way.
As long as he kills Fu Jingshan, he will be considered successful.
As for the Red Lotus Army, he doesn't want to provoke it for the time being, so let it be dealt with by others!
Guan Yuanzhong thought of this, and he had a bottom in his heart, and asked again: "Since Qin Youan can be bought by Fu Jingshan, why can't he be co-opted by the imperial court?" How big do you think this might be? ”
The generals under him are not willing to fight the Red Lotus Army, even those firearms are enough to make people frightened-
In the environment of Dayan, there are very few people who sincerely do things for Dayan, and Dayan has long been unpopular.
If there is no benefit in fighting, and even if you have to lose your life, you will not fight if you can.
As soon as they heard Guan Yuanzhong's words, they knew that the marshal didn't want to fight either, but wanted to make a deal with the Red Lotus Army.
One of the generals said: "My subordinates think it's still a little possible. Qin You'an is not like a traitor like Fu Jingshan, who is called the king and the emperor, obviously he still has some respect for the imperial court, if we say that we want to win them over, are we afraid that they will not take refuge in us? Isn't King Ze an example? ”
Guan Yuanzhong glanced at him lightly and said, "King Ze? It's just an empty waste, didn't you see that he was beaten up by Qin You'an? It is a matter of time before it is annexed, how can it be compared to Qin Youan? ”
If it weren't for King Ze being defeated by Qin You'an, how would Qin You'an have his hands free to take care of the affairs here?
Thinking that Qin You'an was about to annex King Ze's territory, he was one head and two big, and even set off a storm in his heart, if Qin Youan also attacked Dayan, could Dayan support it?
Another general said very confidently: "As long as the imperial court is willing to win over Qin Youan at a higher price, Qin Youan will definitely be tempted." When the time comes, we will use Qin Youan to deal with other thieves, and when they are both defeated, we Dayan will be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman. ”
"Your idea is good, but it's hard to implement. Not to mention whether Qin Youan will be fooled, even if we can't represent Dayan, let alone convince the prime minister. Guan Yuanzhong said lightly, "And the top priority is not how to win over Qin Youan, but how to complete this task at the lowest cost." ”
He has also received the news that Qin Youan has already set off to the south to deal with Qi Wu, and how to act depends on the next battle situation. Presumably at this time, Qin Youan didn't have the heart to deal with the court's wooing.
The military advisor who looked quite old and serious spoke: "In this case, we might as well bypass the Red Lotus Army and attack Fu Jingshan." As long as Fu Jingshan is dead, the Red Lotus Army doesn't need to fight against the court for him. ”
"It's about how we get around them." Guan Yuanzhong originally planned to do so, and he was not surprised to hear it, and said in a deep voice.
"If you want to kill Fu Jingshan, it's actually very easy." The military advisor touched his beard and squinted.
As soon as Guan Yuanzhong heard this, he came to his senses, leaned over to look at him slightly, and asked with a humble face: "I want to hear about it." ”
The military advisor was quite satisfied with his attitude, and said with a smile: "There are many soldiers who have taken refuge in Da Zhou, and it is said that many of them are Fu Jingshan's former cronies, if they accidentally 'escape' out and help Fu Jingshan, do you think Fu Jingshan will take care of them?" Will they be fortified? ”
Guan Yuanzhong's expression was slightly solemn, he thought for a while, and said, "Sir's method is indeed good, but do those people dare to attack the old master?" If Fu Jingshan was re-wooed, wouldn't it be a failure? ”
Those soldiers under Fu Jingshan's command who took the initiative to surrender, Guan Yuanzhong couldn't believe it at all, and the soldiers and baggage under his hands were all accepted.
Of course, there are also more useful soldiers or strategists, which are put on an idle place, and it is impossible to reuse them at all, and they will only be summoned when they are occasionally needed.
He couldn't believe the character of these people! Who knows if they'll pit themselves.
The military advisor was the old god and said: "The marshal is too worried, if they can betray Fu Jingshan once, they can betray the second time." Some people, as long as they give him enough benefits, dare to do anything. Of course, for the sake of prudence, it is best to find those who have family members or cronies in our hands, and those who were forced to surrender at the beginning are not too cunning, and have some affection, it is best to feel guilty about Fu Jingshan, such people are easy to control. ”
Guan Yuanzhong said with some doubts: "Military Master, you plan to find someone who feels guilty about Fu Jingshan to carry out the mission, are you really joking?" ”
The military advisor shook his head and said, "My ability to lead troops into battle is not as good as that of the marshal, but in terms of giving advice and controlling people's hearts, the marshal is not as good as me." If the marshal trusts me, it is better to leave this matter to me, and I will certainly not disappoint the marshal. ”
Guan Yuanzhong thought about it in his heart, but he still couldn't figure it out, but thinking of the ability of the military advisor all along, he had no other way to think about it now, so he could only agree to him, and sighed: "Okay, I'll trust Mr. once." ”
The military advisor smiled so hard that his eyes disappeared and said, "That's right, the marshal is sometimes too cautious. In fact, even if it fails this time, it won't affect anything, at most it will be a prisoner of war from the Sun family. ”
"What Mr. said is, then please leave this matter to Mr." Hearing this, Guan Yuanzhong seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, no longer wandering like just now, and a smile appeared on his face.
The Strategist nodded.
Fu Jingshan didn't know anything about this, and he was also discussing things with his courtiers.
I'm running away during the day, and I only have some time to talk about business before I rest at night.
Fu Jingshan was quite confident in the Red Lotus Army, although he had not yet escaped from Dayan's pursuit, he had already relaxed and began to plan for future reconstruction, with a faint smile on his face.
He said: "Although it is a pity to abandon Bianliang, but as long as people live, it is possible to make a comeback at any time, and every qiē is a new beginning, and we must be full of confidence." ”
Fu Jingshan rebuilt his power three times and twice, and each time it was very smooth, so although he regretted the foundation that had been built, he was not very sad.
No matter what other people think in their hearts, they all have a look of approval on their faces, and there are even people who are like sycophants, praising Fu Jingshan, from the previous achievements to the present, and then to the future, in short, in a word, with Fu Jingshan here, there is no problem, he is the backbone of everyone.
Fu Jingshan smiled and nodded, obviously very useful, but he still sighed: "It's a pity that the Qin leader refuses to give us Yingzhou, otherwise, we will only rebuild faster." ”
"Yes! This Qin leader is really too stingy, and he has helped everything, so why not help to the end? It's just a small Yingzhou, and it's reluctant to give up, so let's be aggrieved in a small Guangxian County, which is really a bit deceitful. She didn't want to think about it, with so many state cities, would she still be greedy for a Yingzhou? When we make a comeback, what's the matter if we compensate her for being an Yingzhou? A woman is a woman in the end, with long hair, shallow knowledge, only staring at the present, and not understanding long-term interests. An old minister who looked a little old shook his head.
This old man is a scholar, but the kind of rotten Confucian who is dead to read, but because of his erudition and full of wealth, he was invited by Fu Jingshan to be an official in the court, and he respected and trusted him, and he also attached great importance to his words.
When others heard this, they also responded one after another, and blamed Qin Shu for being unkind.
"Why don't you talk to the Qin leader again?" The old minister sighed again and said, "Guangxian is still too unsatisfactory, and Yingzhou is the best choice." ”
