802, Qin Liangyu persuaded the king to stop marching into the Shang Dynasty and saw through the conspiracy
The generals suddenly heard this opposite voice, and they couldn't help but look back together, it turned out to be Qin Liangyu again.
Zuo Zongtang smiled slightly and motioned for her to continue.
Qin Liangyu walked over a few steps and said slowly: "Have you ever thought about the generals, why did Di Xin come to ask for a battle when our army had just won a big victory and its morale was booming?" ”
At this time, everyone began to think deeply, and Lin Chong on the side came out and asked uncertainly: "That Di Xin is not a good strategist, maybe because the general has just broken Hepu, he is angry in his heart, so he asked for a battle, this matter is not surprising." Besides, Qin Duwei also said just now, now that our army's morale is booming, why can't we fight Di Xin? ”
At this time, Qin Liangyu bowed to Lin Chong and continued: "It's not that a battle is impossible, it's just that this battle is not a superior strategy, and it is not consistent with General Zuo's previous strategy, so the last general spoke out to dissuade him. General Zuo attacked Jiaozhou, cautiously, step by step, every time he captured a city or a place, he always first appeased the people, stabilized the people's hearts, and then tried to march. And that's exactly what Di Xin was worried about. Now Di Xin suddenly made a war letter, and if he wants to fight to the death, he is fully prepared, and he wants to make a desperate bet and fight to the death with our army. If General Zuo really responds to the battle, even if our army wins, it will suffer heavy losses at that time, and Di Xin will only surrender; On the contrary, if our army is defeated, General Zuo's achievements for several years will be ruined! ”
Hearing Qin Liangyu's analysis, everyone understood the intentions of this king, and the initial passion for war was also extinguished by these words. It's just that at this time, Jiang Song also asked Qin Liangyu: "But Di Xin promised, if our army really wins, then Di Xin will lead all his subordinates to surrender, so that not only can he subdue a fierce general, but also hand over tens of thousands of soldiers in the city, isn't this beneficial to our army?" ”
Qin Liangyu just wanted to open his mouth to refute, only to hear another female general on the side, Xin Yue, walk out and say to Zuo Zongtang: "Although Di Xin has already set these conditions in his heart, the general can know that Di Xin is not only tyrannical, but also unwilling to be subservient. Shi Xie took him in before, and in a few years, he cultivated a lot of his own forces, and the Shi family has been operating in Jiaozhou for so many years, and they can no longer stop Di Xin's tilt. Therefore, the generals do not believe that Di Xin will really lead his troops to surrender. Besides, even if they surrendered, did the generals forget about the new Wenli? ”
As soon as Xin Wenli was mentioned, everyone couldn't help but be afraid for a while, Xin Wenli was pretending to surrender at the beginning, and later almost took Zuo Zongtang's life. If the King of Xuan is also the same as Xinwenli, then the harm is much greater than that of Xinwenli. Not only is he capable of his own ability, no one can beat him except Jiang Song, but he has led the army for many years and has a lot of henchmen, which is really a response, and there will be chaos in the army at that time.
And this sentence came from the mouth of Xinyue'e, who knew the person of the king better than everyone else, and everyone couldn't help but fall silent.
"But is our army still afraid of Di Xin'er? Just Di Xin, Jiang Song is willing to kill this thief first, the general can lead the army to break the city, no matter how many soldiers he commands, the snake can't be headless, so what's the fear? ”
Jiang Song had a battle with the King of Xuan before, although he was still a little defeated at that time, but Jiang Song was never convinced in his heart, he still had a lot of marksmanship that he had not used, so he was confident that when he fought again, he would definitely be able to defeat him.
Seeing Jiang Song's eagerness to fight, Zuo Zongtang smiled and stepped forward and said: "I know that General Yongnian's marksmanship is like a god, but there is not only Di Xin in that Jiaozhi, but also Shixie's family. If you behead Di Xin now, then I'm afraid this Jiaozhi will fall into the hands of the Shi family again. The Shi family has been operating in Jiaozhou for many years, which is much more difficult to deal with than Di Xin. Now we can only let them continue to fight infighting, and even when Shi Xie is really willing to surrender, our army can march and never suffer from the trouble of Jiaozhou. ”
Everyone knows that Zuo Zongtang's strategy has indeed opened up the situation in Jiaozhou, and those difficult Shanyue people, now almost few people have surrendered to rebel is proof, so they all admire Zuo Zongtang's strategy very much, even if Huang Zhong is now also homesick, he also said convincingly: "General Zuo is wise!" ”
At this time, the king of Xuan had already begun to prepare for a decisive battle with Zuo Zongtang. However, when Zuo Zongtang's letter arrived, he was like a deflated ball, and he was suddenly disinterested.
"Zuo Kui Xiao'er is so cowardly, it's really annoying to me!"
The character of the king of Xu, even the henchmen under his command did not dare to persuade easily, and naturally An Qingxu and Yang Yuji did not dare to say anything, for fear that one would accidentally provoke him and lead to death.
At this moment, Shi Yi walked in, looking at the king who was still angry at the moment, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Brother heard that the general is going to raise swords again, so he specially asked a certain person to come to work in the army!" ”
Although the king didn't know what this Shixie was selling, after all, the nominal Shixie was still the lord, and he hadn't torn his face yet, so although he didn't move or salute, he still said, "Does the lord have any orders?" ”
"The lord asked the general to do his best, as long as he can repel Zuo Kui, then the lord of Jiaozhou will give it to the general!"
Hearing this, the king suddenly came to his senses, and said with a smile: "Isn't the lord joking to make fun of me?" ”
Shi Yi shook his head and said, "It's not a joke! Now Zuo Kui's army is close at hand, if he can't retreat from the enemy, then the lord of Jiaozhou is also in name only. If the general can really repel a strong enemy, then the general, the lord of Jiaozhou, deserves his name, why not? ”
Although King Xuan couldn't help but be excited in his heart, but after thinking about it, Shi Xie's words were tantamount to empty talk. Now if he can really repel Zuo Kui and recover the land of Jiaozhou, then it makes no difference whether the lord of Jiaozhou will let him or not; But if he can't repel it, then he can only be a minister of Shixie.
Even now, in front of all the soldiers, Shi Yi said these words, which revealed the unsubdued heart of the king of Zhou, which made the king of Zhou have a bad reputation as a thief in the army.
After figuring out this layer, the king of Xuan understood the cunning of this Shixie, and the anger in his heart was not revealed, but it was not revealed, and then he laughed and said: "If the lord can help me break the enemy, when Zuo Kui is defeated and retreats, the last general is willing to retreat to the mountains and forests, and ask Shi Taishou to bring Di Xin's words to the lord." ”
Shi Yi obviously didn't expect that King Xuan would have such a statement in such a short time, but he could only say goodbye and say no more.
"Shixie, Shixie, it seems that your desire to harm me has not diminished for a day, even if the enemy is now, you have to play tricks behind my back! If you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust! ”
