Chapter 137: General
(Ask for a subscription and ask for a commuter pass.) )
Xu Ji was relieving himself, and suddenly heard the sound of water being released next door, and wondered in his heart, he remembered that this latrine was independent, and there should be no "next door".
The voice disappeared, and Ning Baoguan's voice said, "Do you really want to recommend me as the coach?" ”
"Yes."
"What's wrong with Liu Youzhong? His reputation among the soldiers of the rebel army was greater than that of the emperor, and only a little less than that of the incarnation king. ”
"Liu Youzhong is just a scholar, he can see people, but he can't govern people, and he has no talent to lead soldiers."
"It just so happens that there are not a few qualified soldiers in the righteous army, and whoever brings them is the same, Liu Youzhong can at least scare those generals, as for fighting, everyone can come up with ideas together."
Ning Baoguan's humility was all fake politeness, Xu Ji showed a smile on his face, remembering that there was a wooden wall between the two, and put away his smile again, "Ning Wang guess, everyone makes an idea together, who will Liu You listen to in the end?" ”
Ning Baoguan was silent, and Xu Ji said again, "Liu Youzhong is famous for his appearance, if he uses his identity as the coach to preach the 'birth of the real dragon', how many people can not believe it?" ”
Ning Baoguan snorted, and there was no more sound.
Xu Ji walked out of the toilet, only to see a trace on the snow, no human figure, clear in his heart, he said what Ning Baoguan was thinking.
After becoming king, it is easier to be a lobbyist than before.
At the door of the tent, Guo Shifeng greeted him and said in a low voice, "The two kings agree that Tan is useless as a horseman." ”
The banquet lasted until midnight, and the five kings did not rest, but retired from the generals and discussed matters alone.
Ma Wei was the landlord and first proposed the establishment of a commander, "This battle is very important, and if you win, the kings will divide the world equally, and the loser will be in a different place and become the laughing stock of the world." In terms of the general trend, the confrontation between the righteous army and the officers and soldiers, from the perspective of the small situation, is the three-legged stand of the incarnation army, the officers and soldiers and the army of the five kings, and if one foot is unstable, it will be oppressed by the other two. I thought that since the army of the five kings had been united, a commander should be elected to make the five armies truly one army. Of course, no matter who is the commander, it will not change the status quo, and whoever is the soldier will be the soldier, and after the war, each will be its master. What do the kings think? ”
"Okay, who's going to be the manager?" Ning Baoguan asked coldly.
Liu Youzhong was not pushed out immediately, Ma Wei said, "Let's think about it first, we can push one person each later, and then we will discuss." There is one more thing that needs to be decided immediately. According to the information obtained by King Wu, the officers and soldiers regarded the surrender army and the Jin army as the most important targets, and it was very likely that they would go out to invite the battle. If they did not participate in the battle, the officers and men of the Fifth Army would not be the enemy of officers and soldiers. ”
"I can go and persuade the incarnated king again, Chen will talk about the pros and cons, and persuade him to join the war as soon as possible." Gan Zhaodao.
Ma Wei shook his head and smiled, "The King of the Coming World has made up his mind, there is no way to persuade him, since the King of Shu has led his army to join forces, he will definitely not be welcomed to the King of the Coming World." ”
The five kings joined forces and did not ask for the consent of the incarnated king, which would definitely annoy Xue Liujia.
Gan Zhao nodded, and Ning hugged Guan and said, "Looking at your appearance, you should have an idea." ”
Ma Wei hugged Ning and bowed his hand, "I thought that it was better to ask for troops than to lead troops, the king of the world did not want to participate in the war, it was nothing more than to take advantage of the fisherman, so simply lead the officers and soldiers to the king of the world, so that he had to participate in the war, and the army of the five kings attacked from the rear, and the chances of victory were greatly increased." ”
"Who's going to lead the officers and soldiers?"
Ma Wei looked at Shen Tan with a smile, "The officers and soldiers regard the Jin army as a thorn in the other side and a thorn in the flesh, so the responsibility of leading the troops must be the Jin army." ”
The other three also looked at King Jin.
Shen Tan said, "It is incumbent on me to fight for the people of the world, and the Jin army does not dare to protect itself." ”
"King Jin can be called the savior of the world." Bow your hand and bow down.
Shen Tan smiled slightly, "I don't dare to be, but I also have a request, the officers and soldiers have many horses, and the infantry can't lead them, the Jin army has 8,000 cavalry, which is still too little, and I hope that the kings will temporarily borrow my cavalry to strengthen their momentum." ”
Ma Wei nodded lightly to Xu Ji.
Xu Ji stepped forward and said, "The Jin army is ahead, the Wu army must not be left behind, there are not many cavalry, there are more than 3,000, please call the king of Jin." ”
Gan Zhao said, "I also have more than 400 cavalry here, if the king of Jin is not too little, please take it away." ”
Ma Wei also said, "The Liang army has eight hundred elite horses, all of which belong to the king of Jin." ”
Only Ning Baoguan didn't speak immediately, glanced at the kings, and said slowly, "Wu Yue's cavalry is not much, it is also in the early three thousands, but I can't lend it, these people are all unruly, and it is difficult for me to dominate." ”
The atmosphere was a little awkward all of a sudden, Shen Tan didn't speak, Ma Wei coughed twice, "This...... As long as the situation is clarified, the soldiers ......"
Ning Baoguan said again, "People can't borrow, horses can't borrow, can there be enough knights on King Jin's side?" ”
Shen Tan's face softened, and he smiled and said, "All the soldiers in the state are good at riding, they have 10,000 horses, and there are enough knights." ”
Ning Baoguan refused to give it all, "I can only lend 2,000 and keep 1,000 for my own use." ”
He didn't explain the reason, and no one dared to ask, Ma Wei took the lead, and the four kings thanked him.
Shen Tan said casually, "I have a general, named Tan Wuwu, and he will lead the cavalry, do the kings think it's okay?" ”
Ning Baoguan said, "Since the cavalry is borrowed from the Jin army, the king of Jin can designate generals at will." ”
Gan Zhao did not object, and Xu Ji also nodded.
Once the image of the Jin army taking risks to fight for the kings was established, Ma Wei felt that he could mention the matter of the commander again, "The Jin army picks up the officers and soldiers alone, and there is still a commander in the camp of the five kings, how do you think about it?" I recommend Mr. Liu Youzhong, who is next to King Jin. ”
Shen Tan pretended to say, "Mr. Liu is a minister, how can he be the commander of the whole army?" ”
Ma Weidao "The big war is imminent, it is too late to train soldiers and other things, and it is too late to arrange troops. Although Mr. Liu is not a general, he is famous all over the world, who doesn't know, who doesn't know? When he is the coach, he will definitely be recognized by the generals. ”
Ning Baoguan didn't need to be recommended by others, and said directly, "King Liang's words are bad, it's a little late to train the troops, it's never too late to arrange the troops, and the righteous army has always trained in battle, and it needs a suitable commander when it comes to war, and it's not just to serve the public." Ning fought from Qinzhou to Luozhou, thinking that he had won a few battles, and the more scattered the soldiers under his command, the easier I used them, so I should be the coach. ”
Ma Wei didn't expect Ning Baoguan to recommend himself, he was a little flustered for a while, and coughed a few times, "King Shu and King Wu still have recommendations?" ”
The two kings shook their heads.
Ma Wei regained his composure, "That is, the two of them are recommended, King Wu Yue and Liu Youzhong, we happen to have five kings, who has more supporters, who is the boss, how?" I still think Mr. Liu is suitable. In terms of leading troops, King Wu Yue is indeed incomparable, but in terms of reputation, he may be slightly weaker than Mr. Liu. Moreover, when Mr. Liu is the coach, he will inevitably obey King Wu Yue's words and will not affect the arrangement of troops. ”
Gan Zhao said: "Fame is a good thing, but when it comes to the battlefield, when you die with the officers and soldiers, you will die or I will die, and fame will not be of much use." The army of the five kings did not stand aside to watch the battle, but to attack the officers and soldiers from the rear, and the commander needed to take the lead, and Mr. Liu was not as good as King Ning. I support King Ning. ”
The five kings were deliberating, and only Shen Tan sat on the side, then stood up and walked over, "I also support King Ning." ”
As soon as these words came out, not only Ma Wei was shocked, but the other three kings were also surprised, especially Xu Ji, but he immediately understood, Shen Tan made a decision immediately, he was really a smart person.
"The King of Shu is right, in the end, the commander needs to take the lead, King Ning is brave, seeing his posture is enough to make the soldiers desperate, which is much more important than false fame. Mr. Liu can stay by King Ning's side and assist King Ning in his name, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? Shen Tan continued.
Ma Wei said curtly, "King Jin is reasonable, then I also support King Wu Yue, and the matter is decided...... King Wu hasn't said his opinion yet. ”
The three kings supported Ning Baoguan, and Xu Ji's opinion was irrelevant, he said, "King Ning is very good." ”
Ning Baoguan served as the commander of the five armies, Liu Youzhong was the military advisor, the cavalry of the kings was included in the Jin army, Tan Wuwu served as the cavalry general, and the king of Jin personally supervised the army, and no one had any objections.
The five kings chatted for a while, and after determining many details, they each returned to their tents.
Xu Ji had just entered the tent with his front foot, and before he had time to sit down, Ma Wei followed, and Tang Weitian said behind him, "Governor Dadu, King Liang said to go in, I can't stop it." ”
"King Liang comes again, there is no need to stop it, and there is no need to report it."
"Hmm." Tang Weitian exited the tent.
Ma Wei glanced at it a few times, "Brother Ji has always disliked luxury, and as King Wu, the tent is still no different from an ordinary soldier. ”
"Wu Juncao Chuang, the generals will share hardships today, and they will be happy together in the future."
"Haha." Ma Wei didn't come to reminisce about the past, "Does the younger brother really support King Wu Yue as the coach?" ”
"King Jin has already stated that it doesn't matter who I support."
Ma Wei sighed, "Thinking that when my brother and I were trapped in Mengjin at the end of the world, how could I have thought that there would be a time when we would be kings side by side today?" But if I can go back to the past, I would rather still sit at the same table with my brother in the small town of Mengjin and share a pot of turbid wine. ”
"The world will not be chaotic forever, you and my brother, there is still a chance to drink together." Xu Ji said with a smile.
"I hope so." Ma Wei sighed, and finally said, "King Jin feels that the younger brother may have some misunderstanding about him, so let me say a few words No matter what, the promise remains the same, the Wu army is willing to borrow troops, the king of Jin is grateful, and after the decisive battle with the officers and soldiers, he immediately returned to the camp and punished Ning Baoguan. ”
"It's about Wu Guo, how can I stay out of it?"
"Brother you don't have to be polite, you and Ning Baoguan have a Jiangdong dispute, stay away from this matter, I am different from the King of Jin, killing him is just to take revenge and eliminate harm, and it will not damage his reputation."
Xu Ji arched his hand and said, "It's only three thousand cavalry, and Brother Ma and King Jin are too big to return the courtesy." ”
Ma Wei said with a smile: "Ning Baoguan is very ambitious, and getting rid of him is not only for the sake of my younger brother, but also for me and King Jin to protect ourselves." ”
Xu Ji arched his hand, "This is extremely true, Ning Baoguan has become the common enemy of all kings." ”
"There are also the King of the Descendant and the King of Shu, the three kings are in the same breath, and if you kill Ning Baoguan, you must kill Gan Zhao and Xue Liujia at the same time."
"I've been afraid of the three kings of the Descendant Army for a long time, but I can't do it."
"Hehe, get rid of the three kings, the clever plan is useless, you have to overwhelm people, as for where the power comes from, the younger brother will wait and see, I and the king of Jin have our own way."
"The Wu army is weak, and it all depends on the two brothers to take care of it."
"After all, we are our own people, different from the Incarnation Army. After capturing the eastern capital, the younger brother must return to Jiangdong? ”
"Well, I won't go back to Jiangdong, and the soldiers of the Wu army don't agree either."
"Okay, the world belongs to the three of us." Ma Weidao said goodbye.
Xu Ji thought to himself, Ma Wei's visit, the news is estimated to reach the ears of Ning Baoguan and Gan Zhao soon, and the two of them don't know what they will think......
