Chapter 37: The Siege (Part II)
At dusk.
Huang Qian summoned everyone to come to the meeting, even the injured Liu Congxi came.
Huang Xun told Zheng Chun in detail, Li Xun thought that such a great opportunity, everyone must have agreed with joy, but the matter was far beyond Li Xun's expectations, except for Mao Fuan's approval and Shan Qiu's silence, everyone else was opposed, among which Zhan Taijingming's attitude was the most intense.
"That Zheng Chun is Zheng Ze's confidant general, and the two are related, this time I came, it must be to deceive us, how can the general be gullible, and let him go, it is really unwise."
Zhao Feidu has always looked forward to Zhan Taijing's head, and immediately echoed his words: "Why didn't the general discuss with us and let Zheng Chun go privately, what is the reason?" ”
What time is it now, where is Huang Xuan still in the mood to tolerate them, his face immediately sank, he glanced at Zhan Tai Jingming and the others, and shouted sternly: "I am the Governor of Pingnan, the lord of the three armies, I don't need you to point fingers there to do things, if you dare to commit any more crimes, I will definitely deal with them by military law." ”
Zhan Taijingming's face immediately became gloomy, but he was also shocked by Huang Zhen's momentum, and he didn't dare to speak again for a while.
Huang Chen's inquiring eyes looked at Qin Anming on the side, the latter was silent, if what Zheng Chun said was true, sending troops to Yingzhou was indeed a godsend, which could solve the danger in the south of the Yangtze River, if what Zheng Chun said was false, it was a fraudulent surrender, wouldn't it be a sheep into the tiger's mouth?
Qin Anming pondered for a moment, and finally said: "I don't care about the army, if Liu Jianjun agrees with the general's move, I don't have any opinion." ”
The tiger talisman is divided into two halves, half is in the hands of Huang Zhen, and the other half is in Liu Congxi's hands, as long as Liu Congxi is willing to take out the tiger charm and echo Huang Zhen, Huang Fu does not need to talk so much nonsense to Zhan Tai Jingming and others, it can be said in a word, the reason why Qin Anming's opinion was asked first was because here he had the highest civil official grade and was the emperor's confidant, if he agreed with Huang Zhen, Liu Congxi would probably not come the other way.
The problem was finally handed over to Liu Congxi, he had a look of embarrassment on his face, he himself did not understand military affairs, the task given to him by the emperor was very simple, that is, to supervise whether the marching route deviated, whether the commander had abnormal behavior, he would not care about the rest, and he couldn't manage it.
"General, this matter is very important, let me think about it, okay?"
Huang Yan had a helpless look on his face, sighed deeply, and said, "Time waits for no one, and I ask Lord Jian Jun to make a decision quickly." ”
Deliberation came and went, but in the end they broke up unhappily and couldn't make a decision.
Liu Congxi returned to his tent residence, and everyone went to visit one after another, persuaded them, and expressed their opinions and positions.
Li Xun was wandering not far away, he was very hesitant and contradictory in his heart, Li Xun didn't want to get involved in this troubled water, the victory or defeat of this war actually didn't have much to do with him, if he won it, he was added to the rank and knighted, defeated, and became a prisoner, with his identity, Zheng Ze and others would not kill him, and returned to Fengjing, and still be a rich and scattered person, wouldn't it be faster to live.
After all, it has been a whole ten years since he came to this world, and Li Xun has some understanding of the relationship between the central court and the feudal towns in various places, if the festival envoy or the general of a certain place leads the troops to make a rebellion, the court can try to appease it, and if the trouble is too big to appease, it can only send troops to quell the chaosAs long as the imperial court gives itself a high official position, let it continue to support the army and respect the place, he will have a choice to obey the orders of the imperial court, and in the end, the imperial court is no longer able to continue to quell the chaos, so he has to take the steps down and compromise with the other party.
So Li Xun can continue to live in the barracks, and he doesn't have to worry about anything.
Li Xun also planned to do so at the beginning, he went to the battlefield once, and such a close contact with death made Li Xun have a deep fear and awe of death.
However, Li Xun finally hesitated, he saw that when life and death were at stake, it was Huang Xun who stepped forward, fearless of life and death, and at the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, he charged at the front, killed and repelled the enemy army, and at the critical moment, he wanted to fight to the death and save the battle, so on, what did he get in exchange? It is still everyone's dissatisfaction and disdain, thinking of this, Li Xun suddenly felt very sad in his heart, and pressed himself very uncomfortable, he really couldn't understand, Huang Xun was so old, the emperor didn't trust, his subordinates didn't accept or cooperate, with his title and Yulu, he spent the second half of his life comfortably in Fengjing, why did he come out to suffer from this?
When night came, when everyone had already found Liu Congxi to persuade him, Huang Zhi was the last to appear, and walked slowly towards Liu Congxi's tent with a heavy face.
When Huang Xun walked past Li Xun's side, looking at Huang Xun's old and tired face, Li Xun finally couldn't help it and stopped him: "General." ”
Huang Xun stopped his steps and looked at Li Xun silently.
Li Xun said silently: "I'll talk to Liu Congxi first, maybe I can help the general." ”
"I know what they really think in their hearts, they are afraid that I will lead the army to flee for their lives alone."
Huang Xuan pursed his lips, and said in a hoarse voice: "You tell the prison army, I don't bring any of the 5,000 Jingping cavalry and Mao Fuan's 3,000 cavalry, and the five generals don't need anyone to go with me, all stay in the barracks, just give me 5,000 weak soldiers, take Yingzhou, the credit is everyone's, if it is a scheme, I Huang Xuan is willing to make amends with my life, and they will never be involved." ”
Li Xun's whole body was shocked, and he was shocked by Huang Xun's words, is this the so-called righteousness?
"The general is waiting outside, I will definitely do my best to convince Liu Congxi."
Li Xun nodded heavily and strode towards Liu Congxi's tent.
Walking into Liu Congxi's tent, he was sitting there drinking tea, his face was not good, his brows were furrowed, I don't know if it was caused by the pain in his legs, or he was worried by everyone's persuasion.
"Brother dog, you're here."
Liu Congxi saw Li Xun come in, nodded and said hello.
Li Xun silently walked up to Liu Congxi and asked aloud: "So many people have come to you, I think you have already made a decision in your heart." ”
Liu Congxi put down the teacup, nodded and said: "Zhan Tai Jingming's generals are very right, at this time the enemy situation is unknown, we should brake quietly, wait for reinforcements to arrive, and then counterattack in a big way, this is the safest way." ”
"If what Zheng Chun said is true, and Zhao Baian leads the army to come to the rescue, Jiangnan will be in danger, isn't it in the hands of Zheng Ze and others?"
Li Xun sneered: "Zhan Tai Jingming is greedy for life and afraid of death, and Zhao Feidu is even more incompetent, do you believe their words, Brother Liu?" ”
Listening to Li Xun's sneer, Liu Congxi couldn't help but think of the fact that he and Zhan Tai Jingming abandoned the camp and fled last night, his face suddenly turned red, and he glanced at Li Xun, Liu Congxi said quite unhappily: "Li Xun, you are in the army for the first time, you don't understand military affairs, this kind of big thing, don't blindly participate, I, as a supervising army, will make the best decision, you don't need to say more." ”
