Chapter 295: Thank You for the Reward and More: Nine Birds with One Stone

(Thank you David and book friends for 20180805223614924 tip.) Your encouragement is very important, and I will write harder. )

Before issuing this series of orders, Wu Song did not consult Wen Huanzhang and Zhou Bangyan, although Wen Huanzhang had already been hired by him as the marching staff officer of the New New Army, and Zhou Bangyan and other civilians accompanying the army were all talents.

The reason why Wu Song did not ask them for their opinions first was, of course, to show them his image of being resourceful and decisive.

According to the political strategy mentioned in the "Testament of Situ", as a commander, he must make his subordinates feel that he is resourceful and decisive, so that the wise subordinates will maintain a sense of awe for him and really try their best to give him advice, instead of looking down on him or fooling him casually.

In front of a person like Wen Huanzhang, Wu Song must let him understand what kind of commander Wu Song is, so that he can truly be convinced by Wu Song and be willing to be used by Wu Song.

Afterwards, I came to ask for their opinions, that is, to test their knowledge and see their attitudes, of course, Wu Song still had the mentality of humbly listening to their opinions.

Zhou Bangyan said: "The old man is teachable today. Over the years, the old man has always been sad about his situation. But along the way with the army, I saw the scene of the people's livelihood withering everywhere, and today I witnessed the crimes of local tyrants and bullies. The old man wants to thank General Wu deeply, so that the old man has a new understanding of the root cause of today's Great Song Dynasty! ”

Li Zhiyi said: "Today's army punishes bullies and eliminates harm for the people, which is really happy!" ”

Wang Zao said: "The general's move of opening a warehouse and releasing grain is a good deed. However, this reminds me of the incident between King Qi Xiang and Tian Dan back then! ”

Wu Song became interested and said, "Please advise!" ”

Wang Zao hurriedly said: "General, don't say that, I serve under the general, how can the general be so polite." ”

After a pause, he explained to Wu Song about King Qi Xiang and Tian Dan: "During the Warring States Period, when King Qi Xiang was king, Tian Dan was the prime minister of Qi and took many actions to care for the people. King Qi Xiang was worried that Tian Dan would threaten his rule by doing this, and someone said to him: "Great King, I think that if Tian Dan is deposed because he has done good things for the people, the people will be cold after hearing this, and they will feel that you are not open-minded enough. Actually, as long as you work around, you give an order that I am worried that some people are starving, and Tiandan will take in the hungry people to the house; I was worried that someone was freezing, so Tian Dan took off his leather clothes and gave them to wear. I'm very happy with what he did. In this way, Tian Dan has done a good deed, and the king praises him, which is equivalent to giving the king extra points, and the people are grateful to you! Tian Dan will also be grateful to you for this, and he will contribute to the country with all his heart, and he will not dare to think about it. King Qi Xiang adopted this suggestion, and sure enough, when people talked about the good things that Tian Dan did, they all said: Tian Dan loves the people and does good things to the people, which is the result of the king's teaching! King Qi Xiang's prestige among the people has become higher, and the relationship between the monarch and the minister has become more harmonious! ”

When Wu Song heard this, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have heard this story in a book in his previous life. He nodded and asked Wang Zao with a smile: "Then do you think that the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty today will be like King Qi Xiang?" ”

Wang Zao said: "We are courtiers, where do we dare to judge the emperor arrogantly!" ”

Wu Song understood what he meant, thought about it for a while, and ordered the army to announce: The new forbidden army will go to Liangshan to suppress bandits, and it is the emperor's will to eliminate harm for the people along the way, and it is also the emperor's compassion for the people's livelihood to open the warehouse and release grain!

Doing so is indeed suspected of slapping Song Huizong Zhao Ji's sycophants against his will.

But doing so, on the one hand, can make Zhao Ji more trusting and at ease with Wu Song, and on the other hand, it is indeed conducive to promoting the centripetal force of the people of the Great Song Dynasty to the imperial court and maintaining the stability of the Great Song Dynasty.

This is not because Wu Song has any foolish loyalty to the Zhao family of the Song Dynasty, but because as a traverser, Wu Song knows that if the trajectory of history has not changed because of his crossing, then it will not be long before the Jin soldiers will go south, and the people will be devastated. At this time, the Great Song Dynasty had both internal worries and external troubles, and external troubles were unbearable for the people.

Therefore, if he wanted to prevent the Jin soldiers from going south to burn, kill and loot in history, and even the situation that the Mongolian cavalry swept the Central Plains later, which led to many hardships and hardships for the people, he had to strive to eliminate the "internal worries" for the Great Song Dynasty, so that the Song Dynasty could concentrate more on dealing with "external troubles".

He promised to go to Liangshan to suppress bandits and suppress the rebellion, which was also for this reason.

Seeing that Wu Song listened to his opinion, Wang Zao nodded secretly. And Wu Song also glanced at Wang Zao, and secretly said that among these literati he recruited, this person's future achievements will definitely not be low.

Wen Huanzhang has been silent. Wu Song took the initiative to ask: "Mr. Wen, please tell me about it!" ”

Wen Huanzhang was still slightly silent for a moment, and then he spoke: "The general ordered to attack Lijiazhai, first, so that the army can gain actual combat experience, second, it can alleviate the problem of the army's lack of food and grass, the third is to eradicate local bullies for the people, maintain law and order, the fourth is to open a warehouse to release grain to help the people, the fifth shows the new forbidden army's caring for the people and disciplined style, the sixth is to let the soldiers of the new forbidden army learn from the suffering of the people, and the seventh can also have a deterrent effect on other places along the way. I'm afraid that they will take the initiative to donate grain and grass to the army next, so as not to repeat the mistakes of Li Jiazhai, the eighth page is a revenge for Tong Guan deliberately withholding the army's grain and grass, and the ninth also saves a little people's hearts for the current emperor by the way. Therefore, the general's move seems to be a temporary intention, but in fact it is a far-reaching strategy, humanity is one stone, two birds with one stone, and the general's attack on Lijiazhai is clearly one stone, nine eagles, one stone and nine birds, clever! ”

Wu Song laughed and said, "Is Staff Officer Wen praising me?" ”

Wen Huanzhang said: "The general's move is indeed unusual. ”

Wu Song said: "Since you think that my move has so many benefits, why do you seem to have concerns based on your expression?" ”

Wen Huanzhang said: "Naturally, there are concerns. Attacking Lijiazhai, after all, is not within the mission of the new forbidden army, and this Lijiazhai is obviously Tong Guan's local power, the general uprooted in one fell swoop, cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, how to deal with Tong Guan's retaliation? Thinking about this Tong Guan, now he has won the trust of the emperor, and his power is overwhelming, even Cai Jing is very jealous of him, if the general changes the marching route without authorization and attacks the people's village to the emperor, is the general sure that he will not be harmed? ”

Wu Song weighed it slightly, and said in his heart: There is the book of the local magistrate, the restraint of Cai Jing, Gao Yu and others on Tong Guan, and more importantly, the pillow wind of Master Li, I believe that Zhao Ji will not pursue my move too much. In terms of retreating 10,000, even if Song Huizong Zhao Ji is dissatisfied with me for changing the route of the march to attack Lijiazhai without authorization this time, he has to cover it for the sake of face, after all, the new forbidden army was personally ordered by him to be formed, which is considered his credit, not to mention that now the imperial court can't draw troops to deal with me!

smiled and said to Wen Huanzhang: "There is still some grasp." However, it cannot be said to be foolproof. Now that Li Jiazhai is fighting if he doesn't fight, and he is killing if he doesn't kill people, what else is the best strategy for hearing about the staff? ”
