Chapter 36: Xiao He returns

The people who participated in Ye Tong's banquet were basically Ye Tong's descendants, not only Jiang Song, Li Shuo, Mulan, Huang Yueying, Peng Yue, Zhang Liang, Xu Cheng, Lin Xiao, Chen Qi, etc., but also some school officers who were promoted in the war.

Ye Tong picked up his wine glass and announced loudly: "General Ben is going to set up a general staff in the General's Mansion, and Zhang Liang and Zhang Zifang will be the chief of staff of the General Staff.

Some people may ask what the General Staff Department does, but General Ben told you that the General Staff Department is a department that formulates operational plans, strategies, and tactics. It is the department that manages the officers.

The General Staff Department consists of functional departments for operations, training, intelligence, equipment, and logistics. The promotion of officers also belongs to the head of the General Staff Department, so if you want to participate in the war in the future, you must be approved by the General Staff Department. ”

After Ye Tong announced, everyone raised their glasses to congratulate Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang was also surprised, he never dreamed that Ye Tong would attach so much importance to him and reuse him. To put it bluntly, the Chief of Staff is the most powerful person except for Ye Tong.

Zhang Liang has not returned to his heart, and originally Ye Tong was going to return to Hanzhong and ask the old man Wei Yu to take the post of chief of staff. Now that Zhang's conscience is in his heart, it is very suitable for Zhang Liang to take this position. Wei Yu was responsible for the military academy and gave full play to the role of the old man Wei Yu.

Ye Tong drank high again last night, to be honest, Ye Tong really didn't want to drink high alcohol. It's just that in the chaotic era of the end of the Qin Dynasty, you can't do it without drinking! The wine culture of the descendants of Yan and Huang for thousands of years can better exchange feelings and shorten the distance between the two sides at the wine table.

As soon as he got up and washed, Mei Blossom Wei came in and reported: "General, Xiao He and Zhou Bo want to see each other?" ”

Oh!

So fast? It's not that you can't arrive until later, it seems that Xiao He and Zhou Bo are in a hurry to travel at night. But if you think about it, you can understand, if you don't hurry, what should you do if you are arrested by Liu Bang? Liu Bang is not a good uncle, if he is arrested and returned, he will definitely be killed, and he will not tell any feelings.

"Inform Zhang Liang, Peng Yue, Jiang Song, Han Xin, Li Shuo, Lin Xiao, Chen Qi, Mulan and others to the Chinese army's big tent."

"Yes!"

One of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty, since he is here, he has to talk about pomp. Besides, Xiao He must know Zhang Liang, Peng Yue, and Han Xin, so that Xiao He will not feel lonely after he comes, and will not embarrass the other party, so that the atmosphere is warm and friendly.

For Xiao He, Ye Tong did not pay so much attention to Zhang Liang. After all, Ye Tong has Qin Hui under him, who is also a master of internal affairs, and in terms of internal affairs ability, Qin Hui should not be much worse than Xiao He. Even in some ways, Qin juniper is stronger.

You know, Qin Hui was the prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, will his ability be poor? What's more, the economy of the Southern Song Dynasty was the most developed period in ancient China, and there is no comparison between the Han and Tang dynasties. In this regard, Ye Tong believes that Qin Hui definitely has ideas and insights than Xiao He.

In Ye Tong's mind, the political, economic, and cultural data of the Southern Song Dynasty emerged. Ye Tong was shocked. The Southern Song Dynasty has the least territory, accounting for more than 70% of the world's GDP; Culture is also prosperous, and peerless demons like Su Dongpo have emerged.

The key point is that during the Southern Song Dynasty, the handicraft industry was very developed, and it entered the era of small-scale handicrafts, which was a very remarkable era. If it hadn't been occupied by Mongolia for decades, Huaxia science and technology had been set back hundreds of years, and had been allowed to develop in the Southern Song Dynasty, it would definitely be the most developed region in the world.

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu burned thousands of years of scientific and technological crystallization and a subset of economic history, making the cultural essence of the Chinese nation disappear in the long river of history, making science and technology regress for hundreds of years.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, science and technology developed again, and although some technologies disappeared, they also made rapid progress. The Chinese nation was once again caught in the three-kingdom rivalry, a large number of people died, their strength declined, and they were invaded by the barbaric steppe peoples. That is, the five chaos in history. This chaos is three hundred years, and the Chinese national science and technology have regressed by hundreds of years.

After the Ming Dynasty defeated the Mongols, the Central Plains were unified, science and technology developed rapidly, and musket and artillery technology was restored to the Southern Song Dynasty and synchronized with the world. encountered the entry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty into the customs, which directly set back science and technology by 2,000 years, and even the subset of scripture and history completely disappeared in the long river of history.

Some people may ask, didn't the Manchu Qing Dynasty revise the Siku Quanshu? Don't be funny, what kind of book is that? It's all good or bad to be drowned, and even many meanings are contrary to the meaning of the original work, which is considered a Confucian classic. The true Confucian classics disappeared.

Just when Ye Tong was in YY, Mulan beside him whispered: "Brother General, don't be stupid, people are coming." ”

Ye Tong, who came back to his senses, looked up and saw Xiao He, who was about fifty years old, with white hair, a thin body but no loss of energy, bright eyes, and a bulging back of his head, which was a sign of a highly intelligent businessman. Xiao He's face showed a tired state, indicating that he was in a hurry, running away, and his physical strength was exhausted.

Ye Tong smiled and shouted loudly: "The future Prime Minister of the Great Qin Empire, Xiao He Cheng, has returned home, everyone is welcome!" First of all, the military officials under Ye Tong next to him immediately applauded and expressed a warm welcome.

Ye Tong's posture was very low, and he said that Xiao He was going home, and he didn't say that it was a prodigal son who turned back, and those who knew the inside story felt that there was not much difference. As a party to Xiao He, I feel different. It shows that Ye Tong is not fooling, he really values it.

Xiao He burst into tears, immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Ye Tong, and said loudly: "Lord, the next official is late, so let the lord worry." The lower officials have followed the lord all his life, and if he violates this wish, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed! ”

Hehe!

Ye Tong immediately stepped down from the throne, personally helped Xiao up, and said sincerely: "You Xiao He is the future prime minister of the Qin Empire, this is not a fool, this is the general's invitation from the heart." Others don't know what you're capable of, but General Ben knows very well that in terms of internal affairs, you are the first person in the world.

After returning to Hanzhong, I first familiarized myself with Qin Hui with the system and business, and then I had to shoulder the burden independently. And remember, don't kneel to anyone in the future, only kneel to your parents. In the general's mansion, there is no kneeling salute, just meet and bow or march salute. ”

"My lord, my subordinates remember."

"Sit down, and wash the dust for you at night."

"Yes!"

"Sinner Zhou Bo visits the lord!"

Seeing Xiao He kneeling down as soon as he came in, Zhou Bo hurriedly followed suit and knelt down and kowtowed. Ye Tong also kindly supported Zhou Bo, and said gently: "It's not too late to get lost, people will always make all kinds of mistakes in their lives, as long as they are corrected." Don't be a burden in your heart.

Returning to the Great Qin Empire will not insult your ability, but you have to start as a small soldier, this is not to embarrass General Zhou, it is for anyone to do so. You see, Peng Yue knows, right? Peng Yue also started as a small soldier, and after countless wars, he has been promoted to brigade commander.

Gold shines there, and if you have the ability, you are not afraid of challenges. Under General Ben, all officers were promoted step by step by merit, all of them started from small soldiers, and no one was an exception, and I believe that General Zhou would not disappoint General Ben. ”

"Lord, don't worry! The sinners will not fail to live up to the general's expectations. ”

"Okay, don't sin the people anymore, they will all be officers and soldiers of the Great Qin Empire in the future, you can't be called a sinner, just call a subordinate official and a lowly position."

"Yes!"

As soon as Ye Tong sat down, Xiao He suddenly saw Zhang Liang and was slightly stunned! Then he immediately asked, "Mr. Zifang, why are you here?" ”

Zhang Liang suddenly turned red, and it was hard to answer! I can't tell the truth, and I was hijacked by Ye Tong. Now that Ye Tong is his own father-in-law, can he talk nonsense?

Ye Tong smiled and said, "Xiao He! The ovary has always been the chief of staff of the General's Palace, and it is natural that he is here. ”

Zhang Liang glanced at Ye Tong with grateful eyes. The next thing is easy, get to know each other, chat. Anyway, Xiao He and Zhou Bo know Zhang Liang and Peng Yue. For Han Xin, he is an old acquaintance, and on the Wuguan, Liu Bang's 100,000 army lost his troops and returned in vain.

After chatting for a while, Xiao came out and said, "Lord, are the lowly family members in Sanguan?" ”

Hehe!

"Xiao He, Zhou Bo, you two don't have to worry, your family is in Hanzhong, you live very well, and you have someone to take care of you. Today the two of you are tired, rest for the night, and tomorrow General Ben will send someone to escort the two of you to Hanzhong to visit your families. ”

Zhang Liang suggested: "My lord, in fact, there is no need to leave so many soldiers and horses on Sanguan, leave thousands of soldiers and horses to guard for a few days, and then you can evacuate." For our Qin army, it is better to occupy than to give up. Give up the scattered pass to reassure the judgment army, and will not fight with the Qin army anymore, and buy time for our Qin army to develop. ”

Ye Tong nodded, this was a plan that had been made a long time ago. Occupying Sanguan is harmful and useless, and the army is sentenced to occupy Sanguan, and they also dare not use troops against Hanzhong. The road to Hanzhong is not so easy to walk, the key is that Ye Tong will order the plank road to be burned at that time.

As long as the judgment army sees the plank road burned, they don't have to worry about the Qin army attacking, unless the plank road is built first. Although there are other roads leading to Hanzhong, the problem is that the roads are very difficult to travel and are not suitable for large army marches.

Ye Tong said: "Do what Mr. Zifang said." ”

Xiao He came out and suggested: "Lord, when you evacuate, you must burn the plank road, and you can't leave the plank road." On the one hand, it is to reassure the judges; On the other hand, it also reached the goal of blocking the way for the judgment army to enter Hanzhong. ”

Ye Tong was slightly surprised after hearing this, what kind of Xiao He only understands internal affairs, not military strategy? Isn't this suggestion the content of the plan that Ye Tong, Han Xin, Jiang Song, Mulan, Qin Hui and others have already formulated? It seems that you have to re-understand Xiao He's ability, and you can't take it for granted.

"Don't worry! Burning the boardwalk is planned. Han Xin got up and explained.

Xiao He immediately said: "I have too much to worry about. ”

Ye Tong immediately said: "No! Xiao He is right, we should be like this in the future, listen to the suggestions and opinions of all parties, as the saying goes, three stinkers are Zhuge Liang. ”

Zhang Liang was puzzled and asked, "Lord, who is that Zhuge Liang?" Isn't it amazing? ”

Shame!

Said that he leaked his mouth. Huang Yueying, Mulan, Jiang Song and others next to them showed a ridiculous smile on their faces.

Ye Tong shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Ovary! That one...... That is the legend of General Ben's hometown, I heard that Zhuge Liang is very powerful, and he is as resourceful as a demon to have that saying. It means that by giving full play to the wisdom of everyone, we can come up with good plans and plans, and we can also achieve the role of filling in the gaps. ”
