Chapter 217 Attacking the Heart
*Thank you for your support, I hope you will give me more valuable advice, you are very important to me! **
Shen Yuanshan only understood at this time why the content and form of the competition proposed by Shen Heng when he came yesterday were decided by Zhirong, and asked him to make a military order and press his handprint. It turns out that this qiē is all a ruse.
He was already famous for his bravery and good fighting, and he considered himself quite accomplished in martial arts and the art of war, and he also regarded it as his highest glory. So the last thing he can see is intrigues. Either a good battle with a knife and a gun for a few rounds, or a sand table to deduce the art of war, but what is embroidery?
This time, he finally examined Zhirong carefully, the woman had always paid the most attention to her appearance, but she tied up her hair and exposed her grimace frankly, and the most terrifying thing on that face was not the scar but the look of squint and inexplicable confidence.
Although the tall figure is a little weak, but looking at the cocoon on her hand, she also knows that she has put a lot of effort into her swordsmanship, but her internal strength is too weak, her eyes are blind, and one arm is stiff, no matter how much she practices, she will not have a higher realm.
"As the head of the Shen family, he actually plotted against me! Where will I know the things of the, I don't compare with you! ”
The annoyed Shen Yuanshan used his internal force to send out a thick voice, and the air flow blew so that the already long mustache moved slightly.
The purpose of his doing this is to be really annoyed, and secondly, to tell Shen Jiajun that everyone thinks that Zhirong is treacherous and unworthy of the master.
However, despite his attitude, Zhirong was not annoyed, and just looked at him scrutinically. The corners of her mouth lifted a hint of mockery, she opened her mouth to speak, and Shen Heng used internal force to transmit the voice for her.
"Shen Yuanshan. Soldiers don't get tired of cheating, you won't even understand this as a general. Even if it is embroidery, there is a mystery, the founding of the Shang Palace, that is, our ancestor Shen Zhihua, did not embroider to make the Shen family known about the world? Everyone's strengths are different, how can you say that mine can't be compared? If it's a sword, do you dare to say that you're not bullying people with your strengths? ”
Sophistry is all sophistry. Shen Yuanshan was even more angry, glaring angrily at Zhirong: "Then you mean that you don't need a sword on the battlefield." It's okay to use embroidery, so why do you need the soldiers to practice martial arts? Let's just go embroidery! ”
Finally feeling a breath, Shen Yuanshan laughed sarcastically. The laughter was piercing.
The soldiers behind also laughed when they heard it, how could they embroider on the battlefield? looked at Zhirong's eyes, but they were not as respectful as they were at the beginning.
Because after all, there are still many soldiers who want to recognize the head of the family, so many people are also very much looking forward to today's competition, but the head of the family is so disappointed.
Zhirong had expected such a scene for a long time. So she's still tepid. Just looked at these people indifferently. "Let me ask the general and the soldiers, what is the most important thing for the general? What is the most important thing on the battlefield, and what is the most important thing for the army? ”
"For generals, they naturally pay the most attention to their prestige in the army! Fighting on the battlefield relies on courage, force, and the art of war. The army naturally needs a wise commander-in-chief. ”
Shen Yuanshan replied calmly and calmly, he thought that he had been a general for many years, and he had fought countless battles, and there was nothing wrong with him.
This Shen Yuanshan is really a general, and he understands everything. Well, he's missing a few, though. Zhirong rolled his eyes and slowly approached Shen Yuanshan. "The general said well, then I will say a few more words here, and you and all the soldiers will listen to it too."
With a chuckle, Shen Yuanshan hugged his arms with disdain, what kind of vision can this woman from the boudoir have. Even if you can say it, it's just nonsense, what insight can you have?
"You just said that if you want to have prestige for a general, then you must have a deterrent effect, which is the majesty that makes people willing to obey, and only prestige has no faith, and if you lose your trust in the soldiers, the soldiers will be cold and lose confidence, so you can't talk about the word prestige. You have just lost your trust in me, you are losing your trust in the Lord, and if you make a military order and deny it in public, you will lose your trust in the army, and you dare to ask General Shen, where is your prestige? ”
The sonorous and powerful voice hovered throughout the training ground and entered everyone's ears, and Shen Heng took out the military order to show everyone as he spoke. caused a burst of discussion among the soldiers, and the general was indeed discredited.
Shen Yuanshan didn't expect Zhirong to say such a thing, let alone cause a reaction from the soldiers, he immediately looked back and shouted: "Shut up for me!" ”
Zhirong said again: "Isn't the general even unable to bear the words of the soldiers? If the general is narrow-minded, he will not be able to do great things, and he will lose people's hearts. The hearts of the people in the army must be stable and united, otherwise it is a plate of scattered sand, no matter how heroic, no matter how good the art of war is nothing without the cooperation of the soldiers, an army is like a thick hemp rope, if the hemp rope is loose or a trace is pulled out, then it will not be an army. ”
These words not only shocked Shen Yuanshan deeply, but also made the generals increase their favorability towards Zhirong, although they are not generals, they also understand what Zhirong said.
"The hearts of our army don't need you to bother." Shen Yuanshan, his eyes swept over every soldier, releasing a shocking force. Although the soldiers were dissatisfied, they did not dare to speak again.
"Last night, a group of soldiers of the Shen family army who escaped from the Northern Regions Royal Mansion slept outside the valley, do you know? Look at these soldiers, look at the wounds on their bodies, dare to ask them if they can withstand this qiē is not a hero? Is this how the general treats his brothers? Zhirong didn't allow Shen Yuanshan to say more, pressing step by step.
Shen Yuanshan hurriedly shouted: "It's because they don't want to enter the valley, I have already ordered someone to set up a banquet to invite the brothers!" ”
"Yes, you did set up a banquet, but they didn't want to! You are their heart! We came from afar, and you didn't even let you into the valley, this is hospitality? Is this the mind that a general should have? Why are they disappointed in you, you should ask! ”
Before Shen Yuanshan could speak, Jiang Chengcheng stood up and shouted to the soldiers of the Shen family: "Brothers! I came back, it was the head of the family who fought with her life to save us, it was she who took us home, she regarded us as brothers, and we were willing to be loyal to the head of the family! Now the Shen family has an heir. Our Shen Jiajun's wish for many years is about to come true, brothers, what are you still worried about? ”
Jiang Cheng's words set off another wave in the army, he was a general of the Shen family's army. Although it is not as prestige as Shen Yuanshan, it is also very popular with the military.
These words played a great role, Zhirong secretly exhaled, thanked Jiang Cheng from the bottom of his heart, and then took a deep breath with the solemn expression just now.
"The general said that the battlefield requires courage and martial arts, and the art of war is correct, but he forgot that soldiers are not tired of deceit, and the art of war is also sophistry, and you have forgotten the truth that you know yourself and your opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles. Underestimating the enemy is a big taboo. Isn't it your mistake that you despise me and rarely inquire about my affairs, so you fell for my plan? ”
The voice of discussion can no longer be suppressed. The expression on Shen Yuanshan's face at this time can be described as cloudy, he has indeed been too harsh in leading troops over the years, because he often wins, so he gradually underestimates the enemy. Unexpectedly, the flames that had been accumulating for a long time turned into powerful flames. Roasted his heart.
"General Shen, although I am a woman, my body is crippled, however, my heart is firm, I think people must have the will to defeat a qiē, just like the will of soldiers to kill the enemy on the battlefield, once deflated, it will be doomed! General, you don't recognize me as the head of the family. But I hope that Shen Jiajun can really be united. That way, you won't be taken advantage of by the enemy. ”
After saying this, Zhirong looked around. Said sadly: "Although I am the honorary head of the family, I can't recover the Shen family with the soldiers, but unfortunately I haven't even seen the appearance of the soldiers." Then he threw his head up, took a deep breath, turned around and walked away.
This move made the soldiers scratch their heads, but they had an idea in their minds, that is, this was their family master, a qualified family master!
"Head of the house, don't go!"
"The head of the house! We are loyal to the head of the family! ”
"Family Master, we will recover the Shen family with you!"
The words 'head of the family' and 'allegiance' resounded in the sky, stirring Zhirong's heartstrings and playing bursts of majestic and powerful tunes. But now is not the time to turn back, only when Shen Yuanshan admits her, she really has this team.
Shen Yuanshan is not a stupid person, and now she understands Zhirong's intention to ask him to sign a military order, she didn't really want to compete with him in embroidery at all, but to use the heart attack trick from the beginning.
And it is a step-by-step infiltration, he can't help but feel a sense of admiration, isn't attacking the heart a kind of way to use soldiers?
He was disdainful of Zhirong's rumors before, thinking that it was just a rumor and not believable, but today he finally understood why an exiled person could subdue the Tianxing Cottage and rescue the Shen family army in the Northern Regions Palace. It's not something she brags about, but it's calculated step by step.
"The head of the family is above, please bow to Shen Yuanshan, the leader of the Shen family's army! In the future, I will be loyal to the head of the family! This is the first time that the thirty-two-year-old Shen Yuanshan has bowed to others, and he is still a woman more than ten years younger than him.
Just when Zhirong and the others were overjoyed, they heard him turn to say: "However, I underestimated the enemy, lost the heart of the army, lost my prestige, and I am no longer worthy of being the general of the Shen family's army, so the head of the family should find another good candidate." ”
Oh? Here we go again. If Shen Yuanshan leaves, I am afraid that the 20,000 Shen family army will be less than half or more, after all, how can it be so easy to lose the military spirit after fighting together for many years.
There was anger in his heart, but Zhirong also understood his thoughts, after all, it did damage his face just now. Hey, such a face-loving person, although talented, may not be able to become a great weapon in the future.
"General Shen is too worried. You have been fighting for many years, how can you blame these brothers? Our Shen family army is all open-minded, isn't it? Zhirong raised her eyebrows and came to Shen Yuanshan to take out the white jade token. His expression turned to sadness: "Does the general still recognize this?" ”
"Naturally, this is the symbol of the head of my Shen family. It also represents the glory of my Shen family. Shen Yuanshan's lips trembled excitedly.
"General, what do you want in this life?" Zhirong continued to ask.
Shen Yuanshan didn't think much about it, so he said word by word: "Restore the Shen family's foundation and rehabilitate your worth!" ”
"General Shen has the same ambition as me. Then I ask the general to stay, and I, Bai Zhirong, am willing to give up the position of the master of the family! As long as the general stays! Zhirong actually bowed down to Shen Yuanshan in front of everyone.
This worship, Shen Yuanshan was flattered and took a big step back, almost falling to the ground. This is a great gift from the head of the family, and Zhirong is holding a jade plaque in his hand, which shows that Zhirong is sincere and not playful. As long as he agrees, he can take the jade card.
The soldiers behind him shouted in unison: "How can the head of the family be like this!." ”
"The head of the house can't!"
Such words kept ringing, although these Shen family soldiers were brought out by him, but the edification they received since childhood was to be loyal to the Shen family and the head of the family, plus Zhirong's words, which made Xian even more majestic and benevolent.
There is no benevolence in the face of the enemy in a war, but to be the leader of a clan, you must have such conditions, otherwise it is impossible to win the hearts and minds of the people by force alone. This sentence Zhirong won again.
"Family master, I, Shen Yuanshan, swear allegiance to the family master with blood! Unchanged in this life! Shen Yuanshan cut his finger and pointed at the sky, and then the soldiers behind him did the same thing.
Excitement, emotion, a sense of belonging, and so on all appeared in Zhirong's heart at once, she finally felt that she had a home, the former Bai family was a cage, Yanhua failed to fulfill her promise, and now she has found a home that truly belongs to her.
"Shen Jiajun's brothers! In the future, we will share weal and woe and glorify the Shen family together! Zhirong held the jade plate in her hand tightly, and it was only then that she felt the truth of the identity of the head of the family.
After receiving Shen Yuanshan's team, Zhirong still made him a general, and Jiang Cheng was a deputy general. She planned to let everyone recuperate in the valley for a few days before heading north, and at the same time also strengthen their relationship.
The soldiers would practice every day, and Zhirong discussed with Shen Yuanshan and Jiang Cheng about the king of the northern realm.
"This person only came out this month, and I don't know how long he has been in the north, what his background is, he wears a mask all day long and no one has seen his true face, but this person is not trivial, after he appeared, many prisoners in the northern state capital have been subordinated to him."
The Northern Regions is actually a vast place, divided into seven state capitals, each with different industrial support, and those who are exiled for serious crimes are sent to gold mines, iron mines, etc.
The lesser crimes are in fishing, agriculture, salt and other places. And some of the prisoners who have been charged with minor crimes have already become families, and they do not want to leave after their sentences.
So although the aborigines of the north moved south, more people also moved north. The North is no longer a mere place of exile.
However, it is bitter cold here after all, and there are still few who come voluntarily, most of them are prisoners, and even villains who have fled. Therefore, in the hearts of the people of Jingtang, this is still a taboo place.
"This king of the northern realm is not afraid to be the king. Maybe he killed the head state. The Great Elder guessed.
Zhirong denied this idea, "He won't be so stupid, the imperial court will send new people when the general state is dead." Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind.
Wen Fox! It happened that the general state government died, and Wen Fox petitioned out, and was temporarily appointed as the general state capital. If you want to say that there is nothing to do with him, Zhirong doesn't believe it.
This northern road will be extremely difficult, with both the Wen Fox, the king of the North who does not know whether he is friend or foe, and the evil spirit city composed of fugitive villains who are not under the control of any state capital.
Zhirong misses the days of the Shang Palace Bureau, but everything is a thing of the past, and she can only move forward. The first stop in the north is the City of Evil Spirits. (To be continued......)
PS: Maybe it's because I came back to fill the pit after too long, so everyone should feel the change in the style of my book, and I gradually feel it, maybe it's because of the turn before and after, after all, it's not a house fight drama anymore. But in the plot processing and text, I am also revising, looking for the most suitable style. I hope you will give me more advice.
