Chapter 9: A Dog
In Jiankang City, many cavalry rode their horses and slowly marched through the streets, holding Lubu (cloth and silk flags), and together with their companions, they kept shouting: "Great victory for the officers and soldiers!" A great victory for the officers and soldiers! ”
Everywhere they passed, the shouts caused the neighbors to come out one after another to look, and the literate people looked at the Lu cloth in the hands of the officers and soldiers, and muttered the big characters on it: The officers and soldiers have won a great victory, and the capture is not counted. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Simple eight words, so that many people excited, although the government is very aggressive, but compared to the fierce and vicious Beiyu, it is always better, the official army won the battle, then the Beiyu will be blocked outside Jiankang City, so everyone is safe.
The idea of the common people is very simple, it is better to die than to live, if the northern captives enter the city and are very likely to kill, then they might as well survive under the rule of the government, so the victory of the official army, many people are sincerely happy.
Of course, there are also people who are stunned, because they are still waiting for the Zhou army to enter the city, and they hurriedly eat pot pulp to welcome Wang Shi, so as to change their fate from then on and have a good position in the new court.
If Chen Jun did not renew his record, then it seems that the Zhou army was indeed defeated, so they who had already prepared to "welcome Wang Shi" had to wait and see.
But these people are only a minority, and when it was approaching dusk, the entire Jiankang City was boiled by the good news brought by Lubu Feijie, I don't know how many people couldn't sleep all night, and I don't know how many people burned incense to the Buddha.
Taicheng, the palace is near the Immortal Pavilion, Chen Shubao, the son of Chen Guo, bathed and changed clothes, happily had dinner, he had made a decision to reward the officers and soldiers, wait for the northern retreat, and re-gild the Buddha statues of all the Buddhist temples in Jiankang City.
"Jiankang really has the royal spirit to protect him, so that the northern captives will stop outside the city!"
"Jiang Shan's Beiyu is finished, and Xinlin's Beiyu won't stay long!"
"When we have to drive them back to Jiangbei, I will send troops to recover Jiangzhou!"
Chen Shubao said with a ruddy face, the attendants removed the food table, the concubine Zhang Lihua was making tea on the side, and several favorite concubines were also talking auspicious words next to them, and the officials and soldiers repelled the northern captives, and they were also very happy.
In case Jiankang falls, they will be taken captive by the other party, and they don't know how miserable it will be, so it is better to be a concubine in the palace.
Zhang Lihua offered a cup of soaked Xiyangchun and asked casually: "Official, has the official army been collected now?" ”
"No, no, no, you can't collect the troops, Kong Aiqing sent someone back to report, saying that they want to take advantage of the victory to pursue, they have captured the Zhou army camp in Jiangshan, captured the baggage, countless weapons, and now they have to pursue overnight, so that these northern captives should not be called every day, and the earth is not spiritual!"
Chen Shubao was very happy, and after taking a sip of tea, he danced at length: "I appointed Shi Aiqing and Kong Aiqing as the supervisors of the army, and some people said that they didn't know the soldiers, so it was difficult to take on important responsibilities, but now?" Look, Kong Aiqing's commander army was defeated! ”
"The wisdom of the official family is not comparable to those who are short-sighted."
"Hmph, Kong Aiqing strongly advocated fighting yesterday, and there are still people who want to say and stop, they don't say it, but I know what they are going to say!"
Chen Shubao has forgotten that he was still regretting not long ago, regretting that he listened to Kong Fan's proposition, and ordered the official army to go out of the city to fight a decisive battle with the Zhou army, Zhang Lihua will definitely not say it, of course, if the Empress Shen who does not understand the amorous and false seriousness is here, I am afraid that she will be sarcastic.
A eunuch approached and handed a letter to Chen Shubao, Zhang Lihua saw that his face suddenly changed after reading it, but then his expression changed unpredictably, and finally sighed, put the letter next to the candle and burned it.
Zhang Lihua is a smart person, she won't ask what is written in the letter, and the other concubines naturally don't dare to talk more, Chen Shubao was in a trance for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Ai concubine, where is the tea?" Why is it gone? ”
"Ah, the concubine was distracted for a while, and asked the official family to forgive her sins."
"It's okay, it's okay, Concubine Ai hurry up and make tea."
Watching Zhang Lihua make tea, Chen Shubao was a little distracted, and Kong Fan, the superintendent of the army, sent someone to send a secret letter to him, telling him one thing: In today's decisive battle, the hussar general Xiao Maha has an abnormal appearance, and it seems that he has an intention to defect.
This news made Chen Shubao's heart jump suddenly, if it was in the past, there were generals suspected of rebellion and rebellion, he would definitely take the opportunity to seize his military power, and then take further measures, but now, he was a little hesitant.
Because Chen Shubao has a guilty conscience.
Hussar general Xiao Maha continued to marry a wife, really good, when I think of that wonderful body, Chen Shubao only felt that the aftertaste is endless, a few days ago I learned that the Zhou army entered Jiangshan, he was so anxious that the six gods had no master, seeing that the country was about to be lost, he thought about the disaster before the time to have fun.
Xiao Maha's wife, he had already succeeded, but then he couldn't hold back and didn't continue, after all, Xiao Maha's status was extraordinary, but that day he remembered this beauty when he wanted to have fun in time, and recruited him into the palace in the name of Zhang Lihua, and the Spring Festival Night was very wonderful.
Thinking about it, Xiao Maha had already noticed this, so there was something abnormal in the battle today, Chen Shubao was a thief with a weak heart, and he was not decisive in killing.
Details of today's battle situation, he has learned one after another that Xiao Maha performed well in the later battles, so....
Anyway, after that night, the beauty went out of the palace and returned home, since Xiao Maha did not make any substantive moves, with the current situation, he could only ignore Kong Fan's secret report.
At the moment of the great enemy, I am afraid that Xiao Maha will disturb the morale of the army, and even if it is an ordinary person's house, they have to raise a dog to guard the door, right?
。。。。。。
"Brother Kong, do you think the official family will get rid of the surname Xiao?"
"It's hard to say, the thoughts of the officials are really elusive sometimes."
"It's better for me to arrange for a few people to come out and sue the man surnamed Xiao for fornicating with the north, intending to defect before today's battle, but the official army has the upper hand... Letters have letters, confessions have confessions! Make an iron case and behead that old horseman! ”
"Brother Shi, don't be nervous, everything must be prioritized, drive the Beiyu away first, come on, drink tea and drink tea."
Somewhere in the barracks, Kong Fan is talking secretly with Shi Wenqing, the two of them are confidants of the Son of Heaven, both of them are supervising the army, Kong Fan is responsible for supervising the officers and soldiers who go to war, and Shi Wenqing is responsible for supervising the forbidden army guarding the city, and by the way, beware of the rebellion of the clan.
However, Shi Wenqing, who was supposed to be in the city, ran to the military camp at the outer outline overnight and discussed important matters with Kong Fan.
First of all, to deal with Xiao Maha, who behaved abnormally in the battle today, Shi Wenqing had long seen that this person was unpleasant, and wanted to get rid of him first and then quickly, but although Kong Fan complained to the emperor, he didn't want to act rashly before the emperor made a decision.
This matter will be discussed later, Shi Wenqing hurriedly came here, there is more important thing to do.
"Brother Kong, that Yu Zhongwen really has two hits, according to you, next..."
"I think, this Yu Zhongwen is a wonderful person, why don't you let him in, you can take a look?"
Seeing Shi Wenqing nodding, Kong Fan clapped his hands, and after a while, there was a person outside the tent, but it was Yu Zhongwen who had made great achievements today, he was dressed in armor, dusty, although his face was tired, but his eyes were still bright.
Yu Zhongwen saluted the two in front of him very respectfully, which made Shi Wenqing feel good.
"General Yu is doing well today, sit."
"Shangguan is here, and the last general will not dare to sit."
"General Yu, why don't you pursue the Beiyu with the other generals tonight?"
"The last general did not have the actual position of leading the troops, but only listened to Kong Shangshu's dispatch." Yu Zhongwen's posture was very low, "The pursuit of the northern captives is arranged by Kong Shangshu." ”
Shi Wenqing looked at Yu Zhongwen again, after the fall of the Sui State, some Wenchen generals crossed the river to defect to the Chen State, and Yu Zhongwen was just one of them, so he had never looked at this lost dog.
As a result, the other party actually recommended himself to Kong Fan Mao, and now it seems that he is really a talent!
"General Yu, now that the official army has been defeated, what should we plan next, what do you think?"
"Shangguan, the last general is not very clear about the situation in the imperial court, so he doesn't dare to speak presumptuously, and he also asks Shangguan to mention something or two."
Shi Wenqing smiled slightly, he was very satisfied with Zhongwen's performance, Kong Fan was right, this person is a wonderful person, he knows the current affairs, knows how to put himself in the right position, and it is not in vain that he rushed here overnight.
The dog that lost the family, then there must be the consciousness of the dog who lost the family!
Don't keep thinking about what your status was when you were in the Sui Kingdom, now, you can only be one of our dogs!
"General Yu has worked hard to kill the enemy today, go back to rest first, and I have to serve the court more in the future."
"The last will be retired."
After Yu Zhongwen left, Shi Wenqing took a sip of tea comfortably: "Brother Kong, how are you going to use this Yu Zhongwen?" ”
"Look, look, did you say the wrong thing?" Kong Fan pointed at Shi Wenqing and said with a smile: "How do we use this Yu Zhongwen." ”
"Yes, yes, yes, it's the younger brother who said the wrong thing..."Shi Wenqing also laughed, laughing very happily, he and Kong Fan privately called each other brothers, and the other party was older, so he was "Brother Kong".
He and Kong Fan didn't know how to fight, but they were appointed by the officials to divide some military power, and they always had to win the battle to lead the troops to stop the mouths of the old horsemen.
However, the two of them use their power for personal gain on weekdays, and a group of people around them play intrigues and tricks, and the party is the same to fight against differences, and if they really want to march and set up a formation, they are blind, and they are simply unreliable when they lead troops to fight.
Therefore, it is necessary to have a person with real talent and learning to be a staff officer who can help them win the battle, so that the military power in hand can be firmly grasped and the group of old horsemen can be suppressed, but you have to beware of this person flying away with hard wings, that is to say, this person must be easy to control.
With Hou Jing's experience, the generals who fled from the north to the south will no longer be reused in the Southern Dynasty, even if they have talent, they are only worthy of being a pretext, so Yu Zhongwen, who took the initiative to find Kong Fan Mao and recommended himself, is now the best candidate.
Yu Zhongwen does seem to have a strategy, and his identity determines that he cannot be reused in Chen State, such a person is what Shi Wenqing can't ask for.
"Brother Kong, I bother you to let him draw up a few retreats from the enemy in the next few days, and in a few days, the younger brother will present it to the official family, so as to save those old puppets from making noise all day long!"
"Well said, well said!"
