Chapter 51: The Way to Conquer

Winter is still unstoppable, not to the will of people as a transfer, as long as it is winter, under the normal climate, Chengdu Mansion will always be rain and fog, wet and cold, just like the feeling of a snake wrapped around the body, which makes Yun Zheng always think of his days in Doushaguan. (Pingnan today, Zhou Tong, Wu Jie, and Liang Ji came back and brought back 1,300 war horses, it seems that the war on the Tubo Plateau has reached the time when it is in full swing, Yun Zheng saw it, many war horses carry the mark of the battlefield, this is the ownerless war horse after the knight died in battle.)

"A lot of people died!" Yun Zheng patted a horse's front blade, there was a scar here, which had healed, but it still looked shocking.

Zhou Tong has become a lot more calm after this experience, and his back hand really has a bit of a general's meaning, his waist and back are straight, and the waist knife is not straddled around the waist like a scholar, but on his back, as long as he explores the long knife, he can chop it down, but if he doesn't master it well, he will cut his neck.

There is a joke that a farmer put his sickle on his neck and went to harvest rice in the field, and a hare came out from his feet, and the farmer was overjoyed to pull the sickle on his shoulder and try to hit the rabbit, but his own head was cut off by the sickle, and he could no longer hit the rabbit.

"What do you want to say? I'm not a farmer, and I don't have a scythe on my back. Zhou Tong asked Yun Zheng puzzled.

"The reason I'm telling you this story is not to tell you that you can't hold a scythe, or to accuse you of carrying a knife on your back, but to say that things are full of accidents, and sometimes you hurt yourself.

I know what you did in Dousha Pass, to be honest, Zhou Tong, you underestimated Dousha Pass too much, this time you took back too many war horses. It's too desperate to do things, and it's right to be powerful, but you have to divide the object, people. When it's time to pretend to be a grandson, you must pretend to be a grandchild. This time, you strongly asked the Snow Mountain barbarians to supply you with war horses, otherwise you will cut off the support of others. This hand is very inauthentic, and after following me for so long, haven't you learned to integrate love into business?

Friends should be fully supported in times of crisis, horses are nothing. Originally, I thought that it would be very good for you to find 800 war horses this time, but you got 1,300 horses, which is the root and seedling of war horses after the break.

I originally planned to let the Snow Mountain barbarians gradually get used to trading seven or eight hundred war horses at a time, and the rest was used to exchange cowhides, horsetails, sheepskins, and even those strange things made by the barbarians, it doesn't matter, even if you take them back and throw them away, it's better than if you get back five hundred more war horses. DID YOU KNOW. Because of your approach, I specially sent the Liang family caravan to send a large number of cotton clothes stuffed with cotton to the barbarians of the Snow Mountain for free as reparation, and I hope that the friendship established before will not be ruined because of these hundreds of war horses. ”

Zhou Tongsheng blushed and argued: "Don't we need war horses?" ”

Yun Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, very much." The more cautious it is to act at this time, the more you need to be cautious, the snow mountain barbarians are fighting, at this time they are more critical, and when doing things, they must take into account the hardships of their allies. ”

"Are we allies with those barbarians?" Zhou Tong asked suspiciously.

Yun Zheng climbed Zhou Tong's back and said: "Isn't it stupid to read, we are soldiers, as long as the interests are suitable and the devil is an ally, you have to slowly change your thinking from the ideology of the literati to the ideology of the martial arts, why did the Great Song Dynasty have a misguided path of civil and military?" Just because the two ideologies are incompatible, in the final analysis, the civil and military disputes are also ideological disputes, ideological disputes, and you can even see it as a high-level struggle between Confucianism and soldiers. ”

"What did I do wrong this time?" Zhou Tong stopped and asked Yun Zheng.

"The front is very right, including the disposal of Lai Ba, but the back is not handled well, like a ......"

Zhou Tong wrinkled his nose and took a breath of cold and damp air and said: "Now that I think of what I did later, I am indeed like a stupid woman's life, don't talk about me like this in the future, be careful that I turn my face." ”

Yun Zheng nodded and said with a smile: "You didn't kill Lai Ba, I appreciate this very much, you know how to win the hearts of those mountain people who already have ambitions, breaking Lai Ba's financial monopoly is equivalent to discounting his backbone, dividing the mountain people into five villages and twelve villages, this is simply the finishing touch, and then put the control in the hands of Liu County Ling, so that we can make blameless profits from it, this is something that many high-ranking officials in the Great Song Dynasty can't do, in short, you go to Dousha Pass this time, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages." ”

Yun Zheng could hear Zhou Tong let out a long breath and smiled with satisfaction, there is really nothing to blame for the young man being able to do things to this point except for being in a hurry.

"The war horse is you got back, then, the follow-up things need to be done by yourself, the object of this deal is the old fox Fu Bi, people cheat us, and we have already paid for a thousand war horses, so we have to send him a thousand war horses, this is nothing to discuss, and at the same time, we have to send the breeding war horses to the horse farm on Qinfeng Road, you have done all these things.

In the past, I used to deal with those mountain people, horse thieves, and barbarians, but now I have to learn to deal with high-ranking officials in the Great Song Dynasty, Fu Bi was teased by me once, and you will definitely encounter many difficulties when you go to Qinfeng Road this time. I don't care, you can do it yourself, I just want the horse farm to be safe and worry-free, and our manpower is safely planted into the horse farm, which is very important, the peach trees we plant do not allow others to pick peaches indiscriminately. ”

"Why me? I've just come back, and I'm going to go to the Lingxi Pavilion to relax. Zhou Tong was pretended to be dissatisfied.

"Because you are my adjutant general, Xiaolin is a secret agent, you know, he is not a qualified secret agent at all, we must also have a military judge in the army, it is more appropriate for him to do this, running around is a matter of the deputy general, do you want me to go, the main general?

During the three-day holiday, I don't care if you live in the Lingxi Pavilion or not, but on the fourth day, you must show up at the barracks on time, if you are not there at the time of the day, it is estimated that Xiaolin is very willing to enforce military law against you. ”

Su Xun walked out of the room with his hands behind his back and looked at the high-spirited Zhou Tong who was walking, and said with a smile: "First a stinky criticism, then a serious speech, then a compliment, and finally a heavy responsibility, this is your way to control?" ”

Yun Zheng sighed and said: "Military law is the most ruthless law in the world, once it is strictly enforced, there is no human touch at all, and human favor can only appear before the subordinates have not violated the military law, this is a reason, the reason why many generals in ancient times would use their closest people to rectify military discipline is this reason."

Think about it, once the enemy erects a spear, but you are ordering your subordinates to crash into the gun, how much courage does it take, people save their lives, spare their lives, it is instinct, the role of military discipline is to make the soldiers forget the instinct to save their lives, once the war starts, even if it is a sea of swords and fires should break in, this is against human nature, so there is a sentence that Ci is not in charge of soldiers.

Zhou Tong's temperament is the most out-of-the-box, incompatible with the army, and it can be seen that he is working hard to correct, so I will give him this opportunity, Da Song has one less useless scholar, one more fierce general, this is what I want to see, he likes to be full of glory, and he is not willing to live under people for a long time, this is nature, he can't be changed, he will definitely leave in the future, I hope we can get along and disperse. ”

Su Xun nodded and said melancholy: "People's hearts are indeed unpredictable, it is okay for you to prepare in advance, is the person who replaced Zhou Tong at that time Wu Jie who was with Zhou Tong at that moment?" ”

"Yes, Fu Bi, Han Qi The resources at hand are incomparable to me, these people have been staring at us from the beginning, once Wu Shengjun becomes famous, it is inevitable to draw blood. Those people also understand that if they don't want to destroy this strong army in the future, it is the best choice to take away my lieutenant, but they don't know who will succeed? ”

Yun Zheng Su Xun walked through the army that was still training hard in the rain to the official office, the long-term hard training has now gradually come to an end, and then the training will be the cooperation of various formations, only the selected warriors will become the most mysterious grenadiers in the army, this is a screening process, but also a process of integration.

Under the lingering winter rain, Lu Qingqing felt that he had begun to rot, his husband had been very busy recently, and he was in a hurry to go home, not to mention having a round house with Ge Qiuyan, and when he saw him, he just put his head on his belly to listen to the rhythm of the child, and then he took the school to take the school and their knowledge, and accompanied the whole family to have a meal, and immediately rode back to the barracks.

He lost a lot of weight, and it was also a sigh, and more than 40,000 people who had no food or clothing broke his heart......

"Qiu Yan, Qiu Yan, come and help me turn over, the worm goes away, you will kill me!" Lu Qingqing reprimanded the clumsy insects on the one hand, and loudly called Ge Qiuyan who was busy outside the house, and liked to call Ge Qiuyan, which was Lu Qingqing's bad taste.

Ge Qiuyan, who came in in a hurry, first rubbed her hands warm, and then carefully moved the landing light to change her into a comfortable position, and then took out an account book and said: "Madam, our family's silk this year has been sold, but the bacon doesn't seem to like it very much, she always said that the family should keep some silk, and weave silk by herself, she also said that this year, the Zheng family, the Liang family, they got the brocade from Jinguancheng and sold it at a good price, and their hard work was used by others to make money." ”

Lu Qingqing took the account book, and approved the red letters on it, indicating that these accounts can be put into storage, after hearing Ge Qiuyan's complaints, he said helplessly: "The bacon has been spoiled by the master, and she has been doing things since she was a child. Our family will make a Jinguan City by itself, such a big girl, and the husband doesn't know what to think, so she will be raised at home and finally become an old aunt? ”
