Chapter 90: Decision
But what? There is a risk in doing so, which is to resist the will. Did the emperor ask you to hurry up and bring me here to fight this battle in a few days? If you stay here and don't move forward, are you a little suspicious of resisting the decree?
This is a big question mark in everyone's hearts. But we also know another sentence called: Outside the general, the military order is not subject to it!
But at this critical moment, Pham Minh stepped forward and demanded, let's move on. Fan Ming, that is Fan Li's own brother, and his words are quite weighty.
So as soon as Fan Ming said this, Li Bin couldn't refute it. In terms of morality, people stand at the highest point, because this is the emperor's order! In terms of status and officials, that is Fan Ming's younger brother, is it not easy to speak? Fan Li sent this person to you, nominally as a son and daughter's family, so in private, isn't that just spying on you, right?
So what about Li Bin, alas, there is no way, he can only lead the troops, gritting his teeth and moving forward, which is called a lonely army going deep. Where have you been? came to Sanhe Town, 70 miles south of Luzhou City. This place is destined to become a river of blood, and this place is also destined to become the burial place of Pham Minh.
What's going on here? How did he die? Let's talk about the situation at that time, this situation was that Fan Ming was assigned by his eldest brother to send troops to Luzhou with his sons and daughters, and his sons and daughters' relatives were called Li Bin, who is currently a very famous victorious general among the brave soldiers, and it can't be said that he has won a hundred battles, but it is not too much.
Therefore, Fan Li's original intention was to let my younger brother follow this person, and follow him to get some military exploits, so that when I go back and ask the emperor for merit, I can say a little better.
So in fact, this concept is the same as the state in the workplace that we are talking about now, we don't know how many friends are working in public institutions, you always have to have a paper to evaluate the title, the paper, it is necessary to have this signature, often the author is the first signature, and then he has a good relationship, followed by two, because it is a good relationship, and then the evaluation of the title, I take you, is such a meaning.
At that time, the relationship between Fan Li and Li Bin was like this, and Li Bin set off with 8,000 people in Luzhou. Li Bin fought very well, and they sent out this army relatively quickly, starting in July, taking two cities in August, and two cities in September, and then facing the land of Sanhe Town.
What is Trois-Rivières? This was the most important military fortress at the forefront of Luzhou in terms of geographical environment at that time. If this land is broken, then Luzhou will not be protected, and the lips and teeth will be cold.
So the rebel army, in the town of Three Rivers sent heavy defense, the kind of small towers that were built, built nine in connection with that thing, it should be said, is very strong.
Li Bin and Fan Ming, their goals and opponents are like this, so when we talk about how powerful and tight the defense of the rebel army is, we should look at Fan Ming and them in turn, whether they should change their offensive routines and offensive methods.
Yes, you take two cities a month, and you are really good, but every time you take a city, you have to divide a part of your soldiers to garrison this city. That is, 8000 soldiers are divided, divided, divided, and now there are more than 5000 people.
Then when you have more than 5,000 people left, you have fought for such a long time, basically not rested for two months, and have been advancing to the whole force, it is indeed a strange army, but people are sleepy and tired, do you want to move forward?
Now there is a problem here, what about Li Bin, he is a little undecided, saying whether I should go or not, or wait for support or what to do? So just call everyone up for a meeting, and it's the same as all meetings, in everyone's concept, everyone's attitude is not the same, some say then we have to wait, you hit this position, if you go further, you can easily fail, most people hold this kind of idea.
But at this time, Fan Ming proposed that no, we must take advantage of the victory to pursue, you see, our army is in the four cities, the army is in full swing, what is the momentum, you take advantage of this momentum to rush directly to the front, to take Luzhou, then we are not a great achievement? It's a happy thing.
Li Bin, at this time, he was still very hesitant, in his heart he was more or less inclined to Fan Ming, why did he say that? Because you see, if he has made up his mind, he can't do it, he can't fight. He wouldn't have had this meeting.
Why didn't he hold a meeting when he attacked those cities before? Right, he still thinks that I still have a slight chance that I can win, so he will have this meeting.
So when he was in a meeting, some of his subordinates said stop fighting, so he didn't make a decision, just waiting for Fan Ming to say this here.
So for Fan Ming, this matter is for Fan Ming, because it is true that he is more happy and more anxious, so he raised such a topic, which is in line with his characteristics, he asked to attack, plus he thought that I was Fan Li's younger brother and was complacent and proud, and there was also the possibility of supporting Li Bin, because he was not stupid, and he could see what Li Bin was thinking in his heart.
So when he found out that Li Bin had the intention of attacking, he calculated this account himself, and felt that if we could really take Luzhou, it would definitely be a great achievement.
This great achievement belongs to you, to me, and to our entire thousands of people, but once we wait for support, it will be miserable, and after this support comes, there are two points that we may not be able to grasp.
When will the first support come? If he comes late, the other party is ready, then it will be really difficult for us to attack him again.
So if the support comes immediately, then we will go directly to Luzhou with the supporting troops and defeat Luzhou, then you will score half of the credit.
And people have to say: If you don't have me, you won't dare to fight! Right? What a bad thing this is for our reputation.
Third, the army we are bringing now, that is the elite division among the brave soldiers, this is the army brought out by Ronan back then, and it is the most powerful army. You say that we can't take it, can someone else take it down?
Even if someone else comes, isn't it just an assist for us, a flag for us, and a shout. Why should we wait for them?
After Fan Ming's words, Li Bin was actually tempted, it turned out that he was just inclining, but now this is really tempting, Li Bin feels that there is an account, this chance of winning is still there, but I still hope that it can be relatively stable, because Li Bin has been down for so many years, and the reputation of the winning general is not in vain. said that we need to know ourselves and our opponents in order to survive a hundred battles, and we have to find someone to see what is going on ahead.
