"Cheers!" Four cups touched each other.

Shi Zhuang, Qian Biao, Liang Han, and Chen Changping drank all the wine in the cup.

This battle, for the right Qianniuwei, can be regarded as a heavy loss, not only the entire left army was lost, but for the right Weiwei, it was a battle full of harvest.

Shi Zhuang basically took most of Hunan without much effort, and the losses of the soldiers were even more insignificant, and the dead and wounded soldiers did not have many sick soldiers.

Of course, Qian Biao is also satisfied, now that he, the governor of Hunan, is barely in his name, except for Xiangxi and the south of Hengyang, other areas have fallen under his control.

And Chen Changping, not to mention, the order from the Chang'an Military Committee has arrived, and he will be transferred to the position of deputy general of Right Qianniuwei, acting general.

"Changping, come, I toast you, I wish you to remove this pronoun as soon as possible!" Liang Han laughed and raised his glass: "Today, if we don't get drunk and don't return, if you go, it's difficult for us to get together again!" ”

"The two of us are not far apart!" Chen Changping said with a smile.

"Look, look!" Liang Han pointed at Chen Changping and said: "This person hasn't left yet, he has already been so angry, general, this is not good, now he is still your subordinate, you can't let it go gently, after this stubble, there will be no chance to rectify him in the future!" ”

Chen Changping laughed and said: "Liang Han, you have learned Mr. Gongsun's vitriolism to a full extent, and pulling your beard is a mouthful." Yes, I was wrong, I admit punishment! ”

"The attitude is good, but a glass is not good. At least three cups! Liang Han proudly took three cups, poured them full of wine, and pushed them in front of Chen Changping.

"You're helling about getting me drunk! It's a spirit! ”

"I don't know how much you drink?"

"The question is, after I've drunk these three glasses, will you still drink with me?"

"Nature."

"I see! Looks like I'm going to have to watch out for myself next, I can't get caught by you anymore! ”

"Then it's up to you!" Liang Han stroked the carefully trimmed mustache on his lips: "As you just said, Mr. Gongsun's ability to take people's handles, I have been with him for many years, and I haven't learned ten percent, so I have learned a **." ”

Chen Changping smiled and happily drank three glasses of wine. Putting down the wine glass, he said, "This time Mr. Gongsun has been hit hard, didn't you write a letter to comfort him?" ”

"How can you comfort this kind of thing?" Liang Han took a pair of chopsticks and pig ears, put them in his mouth and chewed slowly: "But I sent my baby girl over, his future daughter-in-law, let him teach him in advance, put it here and follow me, I'm afraid that he won't be able to eat in the future." ”

Qian Biao listened to the conversation between the two and was a little puzzled: "Even if Gao Xiang rises back, will Mr. Gongsun be deflated?" Who is Mr. Gongsun? Can Gao Xiangsheng fight him? ”

"It's not about the high elephant." Shi Zhuang said with a smile: "The key lies in Your Majesty, Gao Xiang's promotion back, it is obvious that Your Majesty wants to reorganize the power structure of the Intelligence Committee, but in my opinion, this is a good thing." To be honest, it is not normal for Mr. Gongsun to be in power alone in such an organ as the Intelligence Committee. ”

"That's true. Although Your Majesty and I both know that Mr. Gongsun is not a person with any ambitions, but if he speaks alone for a long time without checks and balances, he may not be able to find any problems in the future, and this is not subject to anyone's will. An incident like Wang Yikun is an example. Your Majesty also wants to start and finish well with Mr. Gongsun. Liang Han swallowed the dish in his mouth and raised his glass to take a sip. People in their sixties, what are they doing so competitively? That's what I meant by sending his daughter-in-law in advance. ”

"Liang Han, I can't see it, you've grown too much!" Chen Changping gave him a thumbs up.

"Look at what you said, I just didn't want to think about it before." Liang Han smiled. "Gao Xiangsheng, that kid is ruthless! Let's see, when he takes office, there will be a big shock in the Intelligence Committee. ”

"It's not something we need to care about!" Chen Changping refilled his cup with wine, and raised his glass at Shi Zhuang: "General, this cup is for you, over the years, I have learned too many things with you, the previous Chen Changping was just a martial artist, and with you, I really understood what war is all about?" ”

"It's because you have a good understanding!" Shi Zhuang raised his cup, touched it with him, and said: "Just like Liang Han, follow me for longer, but this life will end here, it is impossible to be like you, you can be in charge of the first guard army!" ”

"I'm satisfied!" Liang Han smiled heartlessly, "Don't worry so much, how refreshing it is!" Changping, if you go to Youqianniuwei to be this generation general this time, you may not have a better life. ”

"It's not a big problem!" Shi Zhuang shook his head and said, "Your Majesty's transfer to Ping has also been considered in many ways. Changping's seniority is not much in the entire army. With this qualification, you won't encounter any resistance when you go to Youqianniuwei, and people like Yu Xiaowen can't be compared with Changping. However, rebuilding the right Qianniuwei is a matter of worry. This time, their losses were simply too heavy. ”

Qian Biao on the side knocked on the plate with chopsticks and said in a low voice: "But there is one thing, Changping still needs to pay attention to when he goes." ”

"Please also ask Governor Qian for advice."

"This time Right Niu Wei suffered the heaviest losses, and Right Weiwei benefited the most, plus General Li Yu, Ren Xiaonian was both transferred to the capital, Changping is old, but after all, Right Weiwei went out, I'm afraid there will be some trouble!" Qian Biao said.

"Governor Qian has heard those rumors too?" Shi Zhuang said.

"No wind, no waves. There are always people who will do nothing. Qian Biao nodded.

"It's good to be worthy of your heart." Shi Zhuang said lightly: "These things are inevitable. Some people also say that my sudden dispatch of troops this time is no different from Ren Xiaonian in nature! It's just that His Majesty has suppressed it. ”

And these men were not afraid to lose their hearts when they said this. If it weren't for the general's quick decision this time, not only would Ren Xiaonian be finished, but Youqian Niuwei would probably suffer a big loss. Liang Han said angrily.

"Isn't there something that can't be made public!" Shi Zhuang said: "Some people will naturally blush when they see that we have benefited. A little thing, don't pay attention to it. Come on, come on, drink! ”

And all the people were silent. Although there is nothing to fear, it is ultimately uncomfortable.

"General, now that Ding Sheng and Sun Debin have run to Xiangxi, it will be difficult to do it next." After drinking a few glasses of wine, Chen Changping couldn't help but ask, "What are you going to do?" ”

"You're leaving, you don't need to worry about the affairs of Right Weiwei!" Liang Han smiled and said, "It's better to worry about your right Qianniuwei!" ”

"No!" Chen Changping shook his head and said: "Actually, after I go to Jiangxi, I will face the same problem, the general is experienced, and I already have a belly case, so I want to ask for advice, after going like this, I have the bottom of my heart!" ”

Shi Zhuang smiled: "The plan is already there. But my plan doesn't work for you. You went to the right Qianniuwei, the first priority is to reorganize, let the right Qianniuwei restore combat effectiveness, if I am not wrong as expected, the next step must be Liu Chenglin's right Xiaowei to take over your defense, to the first line, the right Qianniuwei will be used as the reserve force of the right Xiaowei. ”

"I'll fight for it!" Chen Changping shook his head and said: "Although there are heavy losses this time, the entire Right Qianniuwei has not lost its combat effectiveness, and it has suffered such a big loss, and if you don't get it back, everyone will be uneasy." ”

"It is precisely this kind of mentality, Your Majesty will not put you in front, but you can fight for it, and you might as well be positive and intense, which is still very helpful for you to win the hearts and minds of the people in the right Qianniuwei. But don't expect Your Majesty to change your mind. Shi Zhuang said.

Chen Changping was stunned for a long time, and for a while, he lost his interest in drinking.

"What is the General going to do next?"

"I'm going to strike while the iron is hot." Shi Zhuang said.

"Marching into Xiangxi?" Chen Changping's eyes widened, "This place in Xiangxi, it's easy to get in, it's difficult to get out, it's easy to get into a mess, it's too complicated there." ”

"I'm going to go back to Chang'an!" Shi Zhuang said: "Your Majesty, like you, has fallen into a misunderstanding, only seeing the complexity of Xiangxi and seeing the difficulties, but not the positive side. ”

"How?" Chen Changping was stunned.

"The land of Xiangxi has always been disobedient to the king, this king, not only for us, but also for the Ding family, why is it not the case?" Shi Zhuang said with a smile.

"But after all, the Ding clan has ruled Xiangxi in name for many years, and the main cities there are still controlled by them." Chen Changping said.

"Yes, this is also the confidence of Ding Sheng to retreat." Shi Zhuang sneered: "I'm going to follow his footsteps, uproot their footholds one by one, and then force them into the mountains, forcing them to fight with those natives and tribes, and grab them." Resources are limited, and if he grabs a little, those natives will have less. ”

"And then they're going to have a strife?" Chen Changping's eyes lit up.

Shi Zhuang nodded: "There will be disputes, of course, there will be some convergences." But as long as there is strife, we have a chance. If the time drags on for a long time, let Ding Sheng gain a firm foothold there, no matter what means are used, he integrates the power there, and it will be really troublesome for us. And after a long time, the direction of Guizhou and Yizhou will inevitably provide support for Ding Sheng, to put it simply, the further back, the greater the difficulty, the faster, the simpler. ”

"This battle is not easy to fight!" Chen Changping thought about it for a while, and still said: "Even if you want to force them into the mountains, this battle is not easy to fight!" ”

"It's a question of long-term benefits versus short-term benefits." Shi Zhuang said: "Now, we have to pay some price, so as not to pay more in the future. So I've already taken a break and asked to continue using my troops. ”
