Chapter 2 The Emergence of Conflict
"To put it bluntly, Xiang Liang has already begun to attack Jingzhou under the command of the army?" Bao Hong said in a deep voice, "Chen Sheng has just been defeated, it is impossible to pull the rescuers to take revenge so quickly, that is, the same team as Peng Yue, who came to cooperate with Chen Sheng!" ”
"We think so too." Liu Biao replied with a smile, "However, if nothing else, Chen Sheng should retreat over there." ”
"We used Peng Yue as a bait, and it was easy to see it, so Chen Sheng definitely didn't dare to go north. Then the best way to go is to go east! Liu Biao paused and continued, "So next, I may have to lead the army to the Jingzhou border to engage Xiang Liang's army!" ”
"What do you have to tell the general?" Bao Hong asked.
"That's right!" Liu expressed his intention to Xun Wang and others, "Mr. Xun, what they mean is naturally that they want us to go north to participate in the war as soon as possible." However, Xiang Liang is not an idle person after all, and I don't dare to rush north, and I don't feel at ease to entrust the rear to anyone. ”
"Do you want the last general to deal with Xiang Liang?" Bao Hong said suspiciously, this Liu Biao also thinks too highly of himself, even if he has recently been named a miscellaneous general, he can barely be regarded as a stream, but he will not let himself deal with Xiang Liang's group of tigers and wolves.
What is the concept of Xiang Liang's group of people? Even if the monster Xiang Yu is removed, the group of people in the Xiang family army is already strong enough, plus a large number of generals who participated in the anti-Qin period, how can Bao Hong be able to deal with it.
"According to the meaning of Mr. Xun, I hope that we will divide our troops now, go all the way north, and go all the way east." Liu Biao waved his hand and motioned for Bao Hong to listen to him.
"But the situation in Yangzhou is unknown, we don't know what the situation is now when Liu Miao is in charge of Yangzhou affairs, whether it has been defeated, causing Xiang Liang to have the spare strength to attack Jingzhou, or just falling into the disadvantage. We don't know to what extent this is down, and it is not suitable to rashly divide the troops. ”
Bao Hong nodded, knowing that he knew that he would not be defeated in a hundred battles, and the importance of intelligence was undoubted.
"So what I mean is that let's go to Xiang Liang together for a while, assess Xiang Liang's strength, and at the same time explore the situation in Yangzhou, and then consider how many people to send north." Liu Biao expressed his opinion, "What does General Bao think?" ”
"Your Excellency is right!" Bao Hong said with a smile, "If you are careless and cause Jingzhou to fall again, it will be worth the loss!" ”
In fact, these are all scenes, Bao Hong is only tens of thousands of people in total, although it is a lot, but for the overall war situation of these big states that are in full swing, it is just a drop in the barrel, even if he refutes Liu Biao's opinion and insists on going north to support, it is not easy to say that the role that the people of the headquarters can play, and it is also necessary to offend Liu Biao, a position and power that is already considered a top 'prince', and the gains outweigh the losses.
"In that case, let's make up another day and set off tomorrow morning!" Liu Biao is waiting for Bao Hong's words.
On the face, he really couldn't erase Mr. Xun's opinions, of course, it was mainly in Shilin. For Liu Biao, the rumor of one of his eight steaders in Shilin is no less important than that of the state pastor, and if he refutes Mr. Xun's face, it is inevitable that there will be some words in Shilin.
As for Bao Hong, although he also has the reputation of 'Er Bao', his small reputation is not enough to influence politics.
Just like the reputation of many great Confucians, the superior considers various situations, but he has to open up and dare not go too far.
Bao Hong has not yet reached this level, and in the eyes of celebrities, making this choice is just a small matter, not a big deal.
"But then again, isn't it enough to have General Zhang Wen go north?" Making decisions is one thing, understanding the situation is the most important thing.
"You didn't ask the angels about this in private?" Hearing Bao Hong's inquiry, Liu Biao was very strange, Bao Hong didn't even know this unspoken rule?
"Oops!" Bao Hong suddenly realized, he really didn't expect to say this, "When the angel comes, isn't the last general busy negotiating with the yellow turban generals, so busy that the sky is dark, how can he have the time to pay attention to other things." ”
"Oh!" Hearing Bao Hong's explanation, Liu Biao also expressed his understanding, "These heroic generals are indeed big things, they need to be dealt with well, and if they are not good, they will even cause fire, so they have to be treated carefully!" ”
"Fortunately, everyone is more knowledgeable and not blinded by those conditions. Ding Fu is just looking for his old family! Bao Hong smiled.
As Liu Biao said, no matter what your own attitude is, if you get people to the capital or other fiefdoms, the people whose interests are damaged will naturally think about you as the initiator.
"Yingbu can be described as a brave and resourceful top famous general, and at the same time there are many princes and kings in the early Han Dynasty to help, if General Zhang Wen succeeds in the sneak attack, he will definitely be able to make some achievements, just put it into the battlefield normally, and the role played is not very big at all." Liu Biao said with a smile.
Bao Hong nodded, in the course of the Chu-Han War, in order to divide and disintegrate Xiang Yu's forces, Liu Bang on the one hand won over the kings divided by Xiang Yu, such as Zhang Er, Yingbu, Wu Rui, Zang Di, etc., on the other hand, he also had to meet the requirements of his important generals to divide the land, and successively sealed some princes and kings.
If you don't have a certain amount of strength and don't have enough ability, you won't be able to reach this level. Let Liu Bang win over, and let Liu Bang compromise and become the king. The princes and kings who were sealed after the destruction of Qin at the beginning, and the few who remained in the end, it is obviously too narrow to simply say that luck.
"Since this is the case, it is just a stalemate, why does Elder Xun think that our north can play a role?" Bao Hong asked Xun Wang on the other side.
"Liu Jingzhou, why do you have to hide it?" Xun Wang said helplessly, "I'm not worried about things on the battlefield, I'm just afraid of disasters within the Xiao Wall!" ”
"Huh? What else is going on? Bao Hong wondered.
"Old Xun, what you said is serious!" Liu Biao hurriedly explained, "Although Your Majesty has resurrected the eunuchs, isn't it because Your Majesty has feelings for him!" Looking at the other heroic spirits resurrected by His Majesty, doesn't it also reflect that he attaches great importance to the stability of the political situation and summons some people to balance the situation! ”
"Balance? Duan Cheng, that butcher or summoned the ancestors of other people's families? Xun Wang's eyes were fierce, and his voice was like ice, "You also obeyed the holy decree and summoned the heroic spirits of the ancestors of others, creating a so-called balance situation to control others?" ”
"What's going on?" Liu Biao asked rhetorically, "I've seen so many heroic spirits, can't Mr. see that they are real existences?" If it weren't for His Majesty's strong opposition, I would have resurrected my relatives a long time ago, what's the big deal? ”
"What's there?" Xun Wang also said angrily, "Don't be an old man who is blind, although they are the same as everyone else, they have a sense of belonging to you who started it, and this is what you think it should be?" No big deal? ”
"Then I don't like it, what's wrong with the extra sense of identity with the royal family? Is it wrong to be loyal and patriotic? Besides, you have also seen the situation of the Yellow Turban generals, if the emperor really does not do well and greatly violates their ideas, then they can naturally break this sense of identity! ”
