Chapter 49: Only I Can Go
The first step of the plan was passed, and after a while, Zhang Zhifang said again: "This is just the big layout of Ben Jiang, under this big layout, Ben Jiang still has a few small moves to go." One is that when our army attacked the Yuan Qi Zhebu, in order to stabilize the adjacent Duji Department, Ben General decided to appoint someone to go to the Duji Department on my behalf to give a big gift to their leader. I want him to be able to maintain neutrality when our army attacks the Yuan Qi Zhebu and not cause chaos to our army. I wonder which general would want to go? ”
Gifts!
Supposedly, this is a good thing, a great good thing!
If you don't call the door, you go to give them gifts, at least you have to say hello, and if you can't do it, you have to eat and drink.
But it's such a good thing, Zhang Zhifang asked for a long time, but no one answered.
Zhang Wei wondered, why didn't anyone agree to the obvious good things?
As for what these Tang Dynasty people think, Zhang Wei doesn't know, but he is clear about one thing, that is, these Tang Dynasty people, especially those who are generals, have an idea in their hearts to go into battle to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions.
Hmph, brainless, don't you know that this mission to other countries is also a very meaningful thing? Isn't Yan Zi famous because he traveled to other countries? Isn't Zhuge Liang famous because of the Confucianism of the tongue war group?
Of course, Su Wu just forgot about it, this is just an example.
If you don't go, I'll go.
Thinking of this, Zhang Wei came out and said to Zhang Zhifang: "Your Excellency, I am willing to take someone to the Ministry of Inspection." ”
You?
When Zhang Wei applied to take someone to the Ministry of Auditing, Zhang Zhifang's eyes widened, "How can you take someone to the Ministry of Auditing?" You've only been in Liaodong for a few days! Can you know the way? Besides, you are a staff member, and you don't know martial arts, and you haven't gone through a war, can you deal with it if you encounter the cavalry of the Yuan Qi Zhebu on the road? ”
As soon as Zhang Wei opened his mouth, Zhang Zhifang asked a series of questions, asking questions like cannons, so that Zhang Wei didn't even have a chance to interject.
Although Zhang Zhifang asked so much, Zhang Wei knew that Zhang Zhifang actually cared about himself.
In Zhang Zhifang's opinion, Zhang Wei is indeed not a suitable candidate for the envoy, one is that Zhang Wei is the person of King Yun, and if something happens on the road, he can't afford it; Second, Zhang Wei is a newcomer, although his theoretical knowledge is good, he may not be able to work in practice, in case he messes up, Zhang Zhifang's face will be dull; The third is that through a conversation last night, Zhang Zhifang knew that this staff member named Zhang Wei still had some ability, at least in terms of making suggestions.
In the face of so many big and rough people in Liaodong, Zhang Wei's wisdom is definitely outstanding, and it can also be said to be rare, such a powerful staff officer, can he let him deal with those rough people in the Duji Department?
It's better to stay with yourself.
As for the envoy to the Ministry of Inspection, this matter is still to be done by those rough people in Liaodong.
But the generals of Liaodong seem to have discussed it, no matter how you hint, mobilize, tell, etc., people are just unmoved, let the wind blow in the southeast and northwest, and I will not move.
After looking around, except for Zhang Wei, no one was willing to take the initiative to accept the important task of the envoy to the audit department.
Hey, don't you people give any face to the deputy envoy of Jiedu? If it goes on like this, how can the face of the deputy envoy of the festival be hanged?
So Zhang Wei continued: "My lord, you can leave this matter to your subordinates, although I don't know the road, but there are so many soldiers in Liaodong, there must be someone among them who knows the road, arrange a few soldiers who know the road for me, and I will definitely be able to reach the department." As for other matters, the general can rest assured that I will adapt to the situation and never fail to live up to the general's trust. ”
There is only one person, and it is like this.
Zhang Zhifang could say anything, so he had to say: "Then you will have to work." ”
Don't say that Zhang Wei doesn't know how to go to the Duji Department, even the soldiers in Liaodong may not know the specific location of the Duji Department, these Shanxi people are nomads, living in pursuit of water and grass, where is there a fixed place to live?
But you don't have to worry, as long as you know the approximate location, and when you get close to the Inspectorate, you don't have to bother, the soldiers patrolling the Inspectorate will definitely take you to the place where their leader lives.
With what he should have brought with him, Zhang Wei led a team and dozens of soldiers all the way to the north.
There is a reason why the north and west are the first, and there is only one reason, that is, ** just killed so many people of the Yuan Qi Zhebu in the Liaoxi Corridor, no matter how mysterious you do, the enemy will definitely find out, after all, the blood has not dried up, and the corpse is still there, not to mention people, even the wild wolves and wild dogs on the ground also know what is happening here, and a little inference will know that it is **.
If Zhang Wei and the others don't want to find death, it's best not to provoke the Yuan Qi Zhebu before the big war, and besides, these dozens of ** soldiers brought by Zhang Wei are not opponents of others.
If you know you can't do it, don't do it.
Liaodong in early spring is still quite cold, and it is even colder when riding on a horse.
Although this war horse is a pure natural leather seat, voice-activated operation, and a natural aspiration device, it is really uncomfortable to sit on it!
How cold it is outside, how cold it will be right away, or even colder.
After walking a section of the plain, Zhang Wei's team entered the boundary of Yiwulu Mountain, thinking that the area around Yiwulu Mountain was full of mountain taunting enemies, but they did not find any signs of enemies along the way.
"Zhang Gongzi, I thought that this doctor Wulu Mountain would definitely meet the enemy of Yuan Qian Zhebu, but I didn't expect to see no trace of the enemy along the way." After passing the Yiwu Lu Mountain, the team was saying happily.
"Zhang Zhifang, the deputy envoy of Jiedu, led his troops to kill so many people of the Yuan Qi Zhebu in the Liaoxi Corridor, the enemy has long been frightened, do you think that the enemy can continue to stay here after being frightened? For the sake of their own safety, they will also shrink their fronts. Zhang Wei said.
Although Zhang Wei is not a military strategist, he still understands the basic common sense, that is, fists can only have power when they are clenched together, and they will be eliminated one by one when they are separated.
** Killing so many people of the Yuan Qi Zhebu in the Liaoxi Corridor, the enemy has long been alarmed, and for their own safety, they will definitely concentrate the people scattered in Yiwulu Mountain in the lower reaches of the Daling River. One is to tighten the fist and attack**; Second, the lower reaches of the Daling River are the choke points of the Liaoxi Corridor, and holding here is equivalent to controlling the entire Liaoxi Corridor.
Which is more important, Yuan Qian Zhebu still knows.
Now that the Yuan Qi Zhebu has begun to shrink its ranks, of course there will be no enemies on the Yiwulu Mountain.
After crossing the Yiwulu Mountain, you will enter the Daling River Valley.
"Zhang Gongzi, this is the Daling River Basin, and according to the past practice, the camp of the Duji Department should be in the upper reaches of the Daling River." Looking at the plains between the mountains, the team said to Zhang Wei.
The upper reaches of the Daling River are the camps of the Duji Department?
After listening to the words of the team leader, Zhang Wei became more clear about the distribution of the five departments of Shanxi.
The nomads originally lived by water and grass, and the relatively large rivers between Yiwulu Mountain, Nurul Tiger Mountain and Qilaotu Mountain were the Laoha River, the Daling River and the Xiaoling River.
Got it, now I kind of get it.
It's good that I understand, and it's time for me to think of a countermeasure for you.
"Team Zheng, according to what you say, the Duji tribe lives in the upper reaches of the Yuan Qi Zhe department, so will there be a conflict between the two tribes over the water source?"
Water has always been one of the root causes of conflicts between clans, families, villages, etc., and it is true today and in the past.
The two tribes of the Duji Department and the Yuan Qi Zhe Department live in the upper and lower reaches of a large river at the same time, so it is strange that they do not fight?
"Childe is right, the five departments of Shanxi are the closest to the Yuan Qi Zhebu, for the problem of water sources, the two sides have had many conflicts, the most serious one was the year before last, the two sides fought together, and then the Ah Hui Department came forward to mediate, and finally stopped the dispute." Team is saying.
It's not wrong that the neighbors are enemies.
At that time, the Qin State took advantage of this reason to implement the strategy of distant friendship and close attack, and eliminated the six eastern states one by one.
How about we use this strategy again today?
"Team Zheng, is this Daling River rich in water?" Thinking of this, Zhang Wei asked the team the right way.
Isn't the river abundant?
Since Zhang Wei came to Liaodong, he often asks this kind of brainless question all of a sudden.
Is the water of the Daling River abundant or not?
What does this mean, you are not the dragon king of the sky, will you swallow clouds and spit water? If there is more water in the river and some of it is recovered, and if there is less water in the river, can it still rain?
"Zhang Gongzi, it's spring, the river has just thawed, and it's not abundant. What does Childe mean by asking? ”
Although the team has just followed Zhang Wei out, judging from Zhang Wei's performance in the past few days, it is clear that this master is a person with a lot of ideas, and he is also a person who often has whims.
At this time, I must have an idea when I asked about Daling Heshui.
Of course Zhang Wei has an idea, the Yellow River has been diverted so many times in history, I don't know how many people along the river have been harmed, why can't the Daling River be diverted today?
Once the water of the Daling River is diverted, will the downstream Yuan Qi Zhebu still have water to drink? Can cattle and sheep still drink water?
If the people have no water to drink, and the cattle and sheep have no water to drink, who will pay for it?
As long as there is no problem with the brain, or if you are bullied to the point that you don't have a temper, anyone will pick up a knife to settle accounts upstream.
Haha, as long as the people of the Yuan Qi Zhebu find the Du Ji Department with knives, will the Du Ji Department still support the Yuan Ji Zhe Ministry?
In this way, it will definitely be much easier to attack Yuan Qizhebu.
However, it is indeed difficult to divert the river, and it will be difficult to complete it for a while and a half with only the dozens of people under his command.
This is something to think about.
Heading northwest along the Daling River, Zhang Wei and the others came to a narrow strip of terrain, along which the water of the Daling River flowed eastward.
"Team, if a dam is built here to stop the river, will there be no water source downstream?" Zhang Wei asked.
"Of course, this Daling River was originally the source of drinking water for the Duji Department and the Yuan Qi Zhe Department, if it is intercepted from here, there will definitely be no water downstream!" Team is saying.
"If there is no water in the Yuan Qi Zhebu for three days, who will they settle accounts with?"
Who else can you find to settle accounts, it must be the upstream audit department.
