Chapter Eighty-Five
Chapter Eighty-Five
Is the fame of the Hereafter just fame?
No, but a lot of things are passed down to future generations, and it's just fame.
Yao Qisheng's unfinished words were his struggle for the position of the first person in Cao Ying's army.
Luo Rucai died soon, although this news gradually stopped as Luo Rucai seemed to recover. But in fact, many generals have discussed it in private, even if Luo Rucai is not sick, he may not be able to live for a few years.
In this age, the real man is over seventy bones. Luo Rucai has been fighting for half his life, and he doesn't know how many injuries he has on his body. It can be said that there is no good place in the body.
Young fashion can be supported, but it can't live much age.
This is not only Luo Rucai, but also a common problem of generals in this era. Since ancient times, famous generals have been like beauties, and they are not allowed to see white heads in the world.
In a sense, Luo Rucai is already good.
Luo Ru is the founder of the country, with him one day, the military power will not want to fall into the hands of others, so the first person in the army cannot appear, but after Luo Rucai is not there, what will be the situation after Luo Yulong ascends the throne.
Luo Yulong can't say no, but he is far from being as powerful as Luo Rucai's decades of prestige.
He may need someone important in the military who can support him.
For example, Zhang Xuan.
At that time, Zhang Xuan is really under one person and above tens of millions. Those who come into contact are the centers of power.
Zhang Xuan doesn't want to?
No, I think.
He couldn't lie to himself.
Ambition is produced step by step, just arrived in the Ming Dynasty, all he wanted was to live, after becoming a member of Cao Ying, what Zhang Xuan thought, let Cao Ying build the foundation of the country, and he could become one of the founding nobles in the future, and when he was dying, he would leave a title to his son, which was not bad.
But now, Zhang Xuan's ambition is even more inflated.
For this world, Zhang Xuan actually has many places that are not pleasing to the eye.
From the point of view of future generations, there are too many places in this world that need to be transformed, and Zhang Xuan's desire to change the world has always been there, but he was suppressed by the cold reality.
Zhang Xuan spent several years learning the art of war little by little.
Now I dare not say that it is a famous general in the world, but any party in the world discussing the generals of Cao Ying cannot bypass the names of Zhang Xuan, Zhang Pingzhi, and Xiao Zhou Yu.
But as a politician, he is still very immature. After Yao Qisheng tore apart the warmth and affection inside Cao Ying, Zhang Xuan also saw this road.
I really think that if you don't fight for the position of the big man in the new Korean army in the future, you can fall into your hands safely, this is an illusion.
People at the pinnacle of power are always few
counted, even if Zhang Xuan was Luo Rucai's son-in-law, Luo Rucai intended to let Zhang Xuan take the throne. But many things are not intentional by Luo Ru.
Zhang Xuan thought about it for a while and said, "Brother Cao." What do you think I should do? ”
For Yao Qisheng, Zhang Xuan needs to cover up, but Cao Zongyu and Zhang Xuan don't need to do this.
Cao Zongyu said: "Brothers follow you, isn't it just for a future? You have to think about that too. ”
After Zhang Xuan heard this, he smiled slightly bitterly and said, "That's true." ”
What is a person in the rivers and lakes, the body is involuntarily. Here it is.
Zhang Xuan is not alone, he has his own family of people under his command. There are naturally Zhang Xuan's diehards in it, such as Cao Zongyu, a disciple of the Linying Zhang family. But more are attached to Zhang Xuan's ship, such as Xu Du, such as Yang Shenzu, and so on.
Zhang Xuan's power is on the rise, and these people will naturally be loyal.
And why Zhang Xuan's power is on the rise, it is not that Zhang Xuan's status has improved in Cao Ying, but that Cao Ying's strength is expanding. But this expansion will eventually come to an end. Even compared to when he was in Fengyang, Zhang Xuan's troops were still in the proportion of Cao Ying, and they had decreased.
At that time, Zhang Xuan's status had been significantly reduced, and the soldiers under his command were still loyal to him, rather than switching to other families.
Zhang Xuan only felt something at this time.
Being a political boss is not an easy thing to do.
Zhang Xuan gave in to Luo Yulong, and the people below could understand. But if you back down everywhere, I'm afraid that the people of Zhang Xuan's faction will slowly disperse. If Zhang Xuan wants to be a rich idler, it's nothing. But he was not reconciled to this.
Zhang Xuan Zhengse said: "It's just this one thing, how to operate?" How I suppress the news in private, it will not be a good thing for me to spread the news in the future. ”
At the moment, Zhang Xuan obviously wanted to take advantage, but he didn't want to get into trouble.
Cao Zongyu smiled slightly and said, "General, you are not Yao Qisheng who has led you astray." ”
"Oh?" Zhang Xuan said: "Why? ”
Cao Zongyu said: "These literati think they are smart, but they don't know that they are smart but are mistaken by smart. Some things, above board, may not be bad, the general only needs to perfect this plan, and send someone to probe the soil, think that within a few days, there will be general news, and then this plan, report to the king, by the way, ask for war. ”
"Please." These two words instantly sobered Zhang Xuan, he slapped his head on the door, and said, "Brother Cao is right, I was fooled by Yao Qisheng." ”
Indeed, Zhang Xuan sent someone to investigate, this is a reasonable delay time, after all, it is too rash to report without verifying in advance, and now that the fighting in Hukou is raging, a few days before and after, the difference in casualties will be very large, maybe, after a few days, they will not be able to fight themselves.
Above board
Even if the other generals know about it, it's hard to say anything.
And Luo Rucai may not be happy to see it.
Cao Zongyu said: "General, I have been under King Wu for a longer time and have some experience. Just don't try to hide it, because you can't hide it. On the contrary, you treat everything sincerely, even if there are some out-of-the-ordinary things, the palm will be tolerant. ”
Zhang Xuan got up and saluted Cao Zongyu and said, "Brother Cao, the foolish brother is taught. ”
Many elders are angry not because the junior has done something, but because there are some things hidden from him. The older you are, the more so. The old man's body functions began to weaken, and his nerves became sensitive. Hide it from them at this time. They are more likely to get angry.
And Luo Rucai is not only Zhang Xuan's boss, but also his father-in-law's elder, and he is still an old man, which is still of the same sex.
Zhang Xuan sent Cao Zongyu away, pacing alone in the courtyard, thinking in his heart, forgetting the time for a while, for a while, he raised his head, but saw that the moonlight had sprinkled all over the courtyard, and he didn't know when it was already dark.
Zhang Xuan made up his mind at this moment.
He omitted Cao Zongyu's proposal to send people to explore, but wrote directly to Luo Rucai, telling him about this plan, and by the way, asking for battle, saying that he wanted to participate in the Battle of Hukou.
Zhang Xuan knew that there were very few things in Cao Ying that could be hidden from Luo Rucai, since this was the case, there was no need to hide it, just say it directly, it depends on how Luo Rucai decides.
When the letter was sent, Zhang Xuan's heart immediately became apprehensive, after all, he couldn't guess what Luo Rucai was thinking. He didn't believe it, and Luo Ru couldn't see his careful thoughts.
Therefore, in the past few days, Zhang Xuan has frequently wandered. Because Hu Tang was new, Zhang Xuan kept him talking, but as he spoke, Zhang Xuan's soul flew out of the sky, making Hu Tang uneasy, and he didn't know what he had done wrong.
A few days later, Luo Rucai's letter came, which did not say anything else, but said that Zhang Yingyuan would replace him when he was ready to change his guard.
Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at Luo Rucai's voice, he agreed.
followed Luo Rucai and came with a letter, but it was Luo Yujiao's, Luo Yujiao praised Zhang Xuan in the letter, saying that if she hadn't said good things on the side, he would definitely not have been transferred so easily. Of course, the reason why Luo Yujiao worked so hard was that she also missed him.
When Zhang Xuan saw this, his heart couldn't help but soften. Secretly said: "One of the most successful things I did in the late Ming Dynasty was to marry Luo Yujiao. "If Zhang Xuan had some inferiority complex before.
But now Zhang Xuan doesn't have this idea, after all, if Cao Ying didn't have him Zhang Xuan, it is estimated that he would have been merged by Li Zicheng.
Although his current achievements have borrowed the strength of Luo Yujiao, but Cao Ying is like this, is there no credit to him Zhang Xuan.
A good husband and wife are mutually accomplished. A lot of things are inseparable.
