Chapter 194: Shi Min and Li Nong

Speaking of Shi Zhao's system, it feels like it's quite chaotic. Although Shi Zhao also implemented the county system, it was mainly used by the Zhao people (i.e., the Han people). For the Hu people, Shi Zhao specially set up a large order to manage. But Da Danyu is just a fictitious title. The real power of the various Hu tribes was actually in the hands of their chiefs. Even Shi Hu was helpless. Therefore, the whole Shizhao can also be seen as a relatively tight tribal alliance. There was no centralization of power. It's just that Shi Hu's power is greater than that of those nomads. This also laid a deep bane for Shi Zhao's later demise. The huge Shi Zhao can collapse in two years, in addition to its unpopularity, this strange system also plays a great role.

In fact, there is a reason why Shi Zhao implements such a strange system. This has a lot to do with Shi Le, the founder of Shi Zhao. Like Shi Hu, Shi Le was equally brutal. But he was the only one in ancient China who struggled from slave to emperor. Compared with Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang, Shi Le's starting point is lower.

Shile was not only a slave, but also from the Qiang people (the Qiang people were originally slaves of the Xiongnu). At that time, not only the Han people, but even the Hu people of all ethnic groups looked down on him. The reason why Schle was able to rise up was mainly related to his courage and skill. However, at that time, his maternal clan, the Karma, was very small in number. It is impossible to compete for the world by relying on the Karma. There was no other good way for Shile to win over the rest of the Hu tribe under his command and rule together. However, there is also a price to be paid for wooing, so the existing strange system was born. Although Shi Zhao mastered half of the northern part of Shenzhou. But there aren't many of them that are really in their hands. The relationship between the various clans and Shi Zhao is like a cooperative relationship of interests, not a real master and subordinate. It's just that Shi Zhao's strength is too strong, so he has to bow his head.

Although Shi Zhao was strong on the surface and had a large number of troops, there were many contradictions among the various ethnic groups inside and they were intriguing with each other. Once the fight broke out, due to the lack of sufficient cohesion, the strength of its troops was actually not strong. This is also the fundamental reason why Shi Zhao's army is always defeated by Murong Xianbei, who is far less numerous than them.

Now that the Metropolitan Governor is being recruited, Sikong Li Nong is facing such a problem. What's more, what's even more serious is that the relationship between his subordinates and Shi Hu is not very harmonious. It's just that because of Shi Hu's strong strength, he had to bow his head and come. But don't even think about it if you want them to die.

Li Nong was a Zhao man, which was his biggest flaw as a commander-in-chief, although he had relatively high seniority in the army. But it is impossible to ask these Hu people to listen to his orders. So Li Nong was very uncomfortable at this time. After all, if he is defeated, as the boss of the conquest army, he, Li Nong, will definitely take the blame. And with his understanding of Shi Hu, even if he is a confidant, once he is defeated, it is absolutely impossible for him to have a good end. So Li Nong at this time was quite sad. Although he also has tens of thousands of elite beggars in his hands, he is reluctant to consume the troops in his hands. What's more, even these tens of thousands of beggars can't defeat hundreds of thousands of rebels.

"Report! The captured general Shi Min was ordered to come to the rescue. Whether to let him into the camp, please show the commander! Just as Li Nong was frowning and quietly thinking about countermeasures, a pawn suddenly ran in and reported.

"Yongzeng (Shi Min's character) is here! That's great! After listening to the pawn's words, Li Nong said happily.

"Pass the commander's order, open the door immediately, and welcome the captured general inside."

"No!"

"Erlang, you should also go and greet you!"

As if to show respect, Li Nong asked his second son to meet Shi Min.

"No!"

However, when Li Erlang just turned around, Li Nong seemed to suddenly remember something. Hurriedly said: "Forget it! Let's go in person! ”

"My lord! You! Li Erlang exclaimed. Li Nong was not only the commander of this expeditionary army, but also Shi Min's elder. I went to greet him in person, and I was a little condescending.

"It doesn't matter! Some things are better to confirm in person! Li Nong waved his hand.

"No!"

Although Li Erlang felt a little strange, he did not continue to object. He knew his father very well, and if nothing happened, he would never surrender himself.

……

"The last general, Shi Min, meets the marshal!" When Shi Min in front of the camp saw Li Nong, he immediately rolled off his horse and saluted.

In a sense, Shi Min is Li Nong's old department. When Shi Min, as Shi Hu's adopted grandson, first joined the army, he followed Li Nong. Later, Shi Min won Shi Hu's appreciation and favor with his martial arts and military exploits. At that time, due to the large number of beggar troops in Li Nong's hands, Shi Hu's jealousy was aroused. So Shi Hu divided the beggar army into two, and half of it was still commanded by Li Nong. But the other half was assigned to Shi Min. To this day, Li Nong still has some influence on Shi Min's composition. For Li Nong, Shi Min didn't dare to be disrespectful.

"Virtuous nephew, don't be polite, please get up quickly!"

Li Nong first glanced at the subordinates behind Shi Min, showing a slightly disappointed expression, and then immediately adjusted and hurriedly stepped forward to support Dan Gong.

"Thank you, Dashuai!" Shi Min thanked.

"Yongzeng, you're late! Our army has already fought several battles with the Liang thieves. What really happened on the way? How can it be so slow? After Shi Min got up, Li Nong scolded slightly.

"A certain crime is about to be put to death!" Shi Min immediately knelt down.

"Ben Shuai is not blaming you! Yongzeng, hurry up. ”

Li Nong helped Shi Min up again.

"Thank you for forgiveness!"

"There's a reason why the end will be missed! When a certain general led his army to the wild king. There was a great epidemic in the army, and a certain general had no choice but to suspend the march and rescue the soldiers. After the epidemic is over, a certain will immediately select the elite and come to report day and night! A certain general is willing to lead the elite of the whole army to serve the marshal to the death! Shi Min said sincerely.

'It's pretty good!' Li Nong looked at the group of yellow-faced, hungry, and sick soldiers behind Shi Min, and complained powerlessly in his heart.

Then Li Nong, who had a flash of inspiration, showed a disappointed expression, and this time he didn't hide it. He could see that Shi Min, like the generals in the camp, wanted to preserve his strength and didn't want to fight. And Shi Min is even more excessive than those Hu generals. Although General Hu didn't contribute to the work, he finally brought his own parts. Shi Min was good, he actually hid the elite, and even went to catch the homeless people to make up the number. At least half of Shi Min's 10,000 people are homeless. This made Li Nong quite unhappy.

Looking at Li Nong, whose face was getting darker and darker, Shi Min felt a little weak. After all, he went a little too far.

Shi Min hurriedly defended: "Don't worry, Dashuai! The soldiers were only a little emaciated by the plague. It only takes a few days of rest to recover. Don't worry! ”

"How many days?"

"But our army will have a decisive battle with the Liang thieves tomorrow! Where is the time for the conscripted generals to recuperate? Li Nong scoffed.

"Tomorrow?" "So fast!" Shi Min was surprised.

"This was agreed upon by the commander and the generals at a meeting a few days ago. At that time, General Shi Min had not yet arrived. So I didn't have time to inform you! However, with the current situation of the general's trilogy, I'm afraid I won't be able to participate! I can only trouble the general to stick to the camp and wait for me to triumph! The dark-faced Li Nong continued to mock.

If Li Nong let Shi Min participate in the war as the main force, Shi Min may excuse himself on the excuse that 'the epidemic has just healed and he has come from afar'. But as the future Emperor Ran Wei, the king of martial mourning. Shi Min, who is strong in blood, has a strong sense of self-esteem. asked him to guard the camp, Li Nong's move was clearly to look down on him. How could he endure it.

"Marshal, the last general led his sons to come here to kill the enemy and serve His Majesty! Now that we have reached the front line, how can we retreat! The last general is going to fight! Shi Min said righteously.

"But the general's subordinates?" Li Nong hesitated.

Shi Min clenched his fists and seemed to have made up his mind. said to Li Nong: "Tomorrow's decisive battle, the last general is willing to challenge with a double-edged spear!" The last general made a military order here. If you don't win, please behead a certain general. ”

"Then there is General Law!" Li Nong said with a smile. Shi Min's martial arts are unique to Shi Zhao, and he is absolutely invincible in terms of heads-up. For tomorrow's decisive battle, Li Nong has little confidence. He wanted to boost his morale by going head-to-head in front of the battle. In order to be able to win steadily, Li Ran wanted to send Shi Min to play. But Shi Min, as a general of the conquest, is the head of the first army, and he is already considered a high position. Obviously, it is impossible to play in person. Therefore, Li Ran could only use the agitation method to stimulate Shi Min.

'Damn! ’

Looking at Li Nong who was smiling, Shi Min seemed to understand, revealing an unwilling face. But since he has agreed, he Shi Min will not regret it. His pride would never allow him to do such a thing.

"The last general commands!" Shi Min hugged his fist.

"Virtuous nephews don't have to be polite! Come into camp with so-and-so! Tonight, Ben Shuai held a banquet in the Chinese military tent to entertain his nephew. Li Nong said very politely. It has returned to its original kind appearance.

"Thank you, Dashuai!" Shi Min thanked again.

Then he followed Li Nong into the camp. However, no one noticed that Shi Min showed a meaningful smile at this time. While Li Nong was calculating Shi Min, he was not in Shi Min's arms.

Never underestimate anyone, especially those who occupy high positions. There is absolutely no stupidity in being able to climb to a high position.

That night, Li Nong held a banquet in the Chinese military tent to entertain Shi Min, but not many generals came to the banquet. In particular, there are very few Hu generals. This night, Li Ran and Shi Min's faces were very dark.

……

When Li Nong set up a banquet to entertain Shi Min. The newly appointed Sima Fan Yong of the other department also led a detachment of divisions to quietly touch the edge of the target Hu tribe. But Fan Yong was in trouble. Although this Hu tribe is relatively small, its sentry is very tight. Fan Yong: They haven't had much chance to start.

"Brother Fuji, how are you preparing?" In a certain mountain forest, Fan Yong whispered to the cavalry captain Fuji Song.

"Hui Sima, it's ready!" Fujimatsu replied.

"Good!" Fan Yong nodded with satisfaction.

"Let's get started!"

"If the anti-reconnaissance team fails! Immediately change to Onslaught! Fan Yong instructed.

"No!" The people around whispered.

……

The moon stars are scarce, and the big war begins!
