Chapter 378: Meritorious deeds are not rewarded and courtiers are afraid
When Fu Rong said this, he smiled proudly, and guided the way, as if he saw the surging Yangtze River: "When the time comes, as long as the king of heaven reaches the edge of the river and sees how wide the river is, the ambition to throw a whip and cut off the flow no longer exists." In this way, we will take the two Huai as quickly as possible and in the shortest time, and it is up to us to decide when we want to cross the river in the future. ”
"Also, in this way, we will monopolize the two Huai, the eastern front will be victorious, and Murong Chui in the direction of Jingzhou will no longer be able to play tricks, and then we can force them to fight a decisive battle with Huan Chong, whether it is victory or defeat, it will be a good thing for our Great Qin. In this way, the treacherous plans of the two traitors, Murong Chui and Yao Chang, came to naught, and the majesty of the Heavenly King was also maintained, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? ”
The corners of Liang Cheng's mouth hooked: "That is to say, the purpose of this time is to lead the Beifu army to a decisive battle in the Shouchun area, if this purpose cannot be achieved, then drive the Beifu army across the river and get the land of the two Huai, right?" ”
Fu Rong nodded: "Yes, that's how it was planned, the Heavenly King's southern expedition this time, there is no good result, and it is not easy to explain to him, but the most afraid is to drag on with the Jin army like this, grinding for a year and a half, although Lu Gong has saved tens of millions of stone of military food for the country, it is impossible to sit and eat empty." ”
Liang Cheng said with a smile: "Yes, Xie Xuan is very good at using soldiers, I have been studying the battle of Junchuan last time recently, he just deliberately showed weakness, and he also shook a shot in Huaibei like this time, and quickly gave up, which caused Ji Nan and Peng Chao's ambition to swell, and he went south with all his might." Then they held on to each other on the front line of Lianghuai for more than half a year, and then suddenly made a beautiful counterattack, defeating Peng Chao and the army in difficulty in one fell swoop. ”
Fu Rong sighed: "The key to this battle lies in the confrontation for most of the year, the Beifu soldiers are camped for hundreds of miles in the Guangling area, and Peng Chao needs time to pacify after occupying Huaibei, so if the time drags on for a long time, the morale of the army will decline, and the food and grass will be insufficient, which will give the enemy a chance to counterattack." Although we have a large number of troops this time, the pressure on food and grass is greater, and the morale is not as good as the last time, so we need to fight quickly. ”
Liang Cheng's eyebrows raised slightly: "Ah Rong, have you discussed this matter with the Heavenly King?" ”
Fu Rong shook his head: "The Heavenly King doesn't care about the battle situation on the front line, he is only responsible for unified command, and now that others have not arrived in Xiangcheng, the Lianghuai area is under my full command, once we take Shouchun, we can let the Heavenly King come to the front line in person." ”
Liang Cheng was surprised: "Let the Heavenly King come to the front line in person? Is that really good? ”
Fu Rong smiled slightly: "Of course, this time the King of Heaven did not stay in Chang'an, but went out in person, so of course we must give him the opportunity to leave a name in history, otherwise those of us who are courtiers have made meritorious contributions on the front line, where will we put the King of Heaven?" ”
Liang Cheng said with a smile: "Okay, Ah Rong, I don't need to talk about this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not go out in person, but used Wei Qinghuo to go to the disease as a general, isn't it still famous in history?" You want the Heavenly King to go to the front line in person, there must be other purposes. ”
Fu Rong sighed: "I really can't hide anything from you, okay, then I will also say it bluntly, let the Heavenly King go to the front line, so that he can see the situation in front with his own eyes, so as to not only satisfy his ambition to command thousands of troops and horses, but also to see the difficulties ahead, if there is a chance to destroy the Jin, it is up to him to decide, if he is really not sure, he can also retreat in the face of difficulties, this decision, you and I are a courtier, can not do, only he can do it himself." ”
Liang Cheng nodded: "You mean, destroying the country and capturing the army is not a reward, right?" ”
Fu Rong gritted his teeth, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes: "Since the founding of my Great Qin, two great powers have been destroyed, one is that Lu Gong led the troops to destroy the Yan Kingdom, and the other is that Fu Luo led the troops to destroy the Dai Kingdom, what is the result?" Lu Gong destroyed the Yan Kingdom, but when he turned around, he handed over the military power, and there was always something between him and the Heavenly King. And Na Fuluo, after the destruction of the dynasty, was not rewarded, and even had the idea of rebellion. Therefore, if a general has been a great general since ancient times, if he has military merits, but he steals the limelight of the king, it is a big taboo. ”
Liang Cheng nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, just like Wei Qing, Huo Quai, after breaking the Huns, he was also seized by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty." That's really the case. ”
Fu Rong sighed: "This time may not be able to destroy the Jin Kingdom, but in any case, the decision to send millions of troops was made by the Heavenly King, and he almost alone withstood the opposition of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, so the battle plan for the front line is finally decided by him." ”
Liang Cheng said with a smile: "Then why don't you want the Heavenly King to come to the front line to command now?" ”
Fu Rong smiled and waved his hand: "As a general and a courtier, I can't fail to make any achievements, so let the Heavenly King go to danger in person." Besides, this time the Jin army retreated so quickly, this is not normal, I think there is a factor of fear of our army's million-strong army, but more of it is more about wanting to fight at ease and defend and counterattack, so we can only stabilize the battle situation of the two Huai by conquering Shouchun, and at this time, it is a good time for the king to go to the front line. ”
Liang Cheng took a deep breath: "Ah Rong, I understand everything you said, don't worry, I will definitely win Shouchun as quickly as possible to welcome the arrival of the Heavenly King." You can continue to recuperate here, don't rush too forward, if the Beifu army does not make a big move, we should not send a large army to increase the consumption of food. ”
Fu Rong nodded: "Your 50,000 horses are enough to conquer Shouchun, if the whole army of the Beifu Army comes to help, then hold it firmly, and I will take the army to respond." In fact, I hope that the Beifu army will fight us in a decisive battle in Shouchun, so that the victory or defeat will be determined in such a battle, and they will be eliminated, and the Jin State will no longer be able to stop the powerful forces of our army! ”
Liang Cheng said with a smile: "Shouchun guard general Xu Yuanxi is not worried, this person is just a guarded general, I have fought with him before, and I have easily defeated him." Although the city of Shouchun City is still strong, can it be stronger than Xiangyang City? ”
Fu Rong waved his hand: "Ah Cheng, don't underestimate the enemy." Xu Yuanxi may not be worried, but I heard that Xie Xuan sent a person to Shouchun City, the one who had been in the limelight in the Battle of Junchuan, what was his name? Oh, Liu Yu! Liu Bang's Liu, rich Yu. ”
Liang Cheng sneered: "I've heard of this person, is it really so evil?" It's just a building master, and the battle of Junchuan is only used as a lure for the enemy, not even a military master. ”
Fu Rong shook his head and said, "I heard that this time it was this person who saw through Yang Qiu's deception and designed to eliminate Yang Qiu's subordinates. Ah Cheng, Jin Guo is not unmanned, this kind of talented person with both wisdom and bravery, we still can't be careless, Xie Xuan sent him to Shouchun at this time, presumably to let him help guard, your opponent is not easy to match! ”
Liang Cheng smiled and lifted his cloak and went straight to the city: "Okay, Liang will meet this Liu Yu!" In ten days, I will capture this man alive!" ”
