Chapter 231: A Losing Plan
Sure enough, Liu Futong, who was sitting in the main seat, was silent for a moment with a smile on his face, and then couldn't help but smile at the people sitting in the hall: "Brothers, you can all see it, this is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Brothers, think about it, since the Tartar army of 100,000 troops was wiped out, the strength of the Tartar court in Jiangbei Province must have dropped to the lowest point all of a sudden. And at this time, Han Wunuhan also led a large group of men and horses to set a fire in the backyard of the Tartars. ”
"How difficult the situation of the Tartars in Jiangbei Province is, I don't need to say more, everyone can understand it. So, brothers, our opportunity to achieve great things is right in front of us......"
After saying this, Liu Futong couldn't help but fall silent, and glanced at everyone sitting in the hall with his incomparably sharp eyes. Obviously, everything he can say has already been said, and now he has to wait for Zhang Shihua's statement.
"The marshal is right, wealth and wealth are sought in danger. Once such a God-given opportunity is missed, I don't know how long we will have to wait. Therefore, the last general agreed with the marshal's plan and was willing to take the marshal's horse as the leader. As soon as Liu Futong's words were put down, Luo Wensu, who was Liu Futong's confidant general, also stood up from his seat and said to Liu Futong in such a loud voice.
And with Luo Wensu's statement, Du Zundao, Sheng Wenyu and others couldn't help but get up one after another to express their approval after looking at each other.
However, when Du Zundao agreed, he also put forward the suggestion that "the New Year is approaching, the soldiers are tired, and it is not appropriate to go on the expedition at this time, and it is best to send troops after the New Year". And such an objective suggestion, Liu Futong naturally agreed with a smile.
On the contrary, in Liu Futong's mind, "my own decision-making has been smoothly implemented, and if I approve this suggestion, it will be considered a spare."
Thinking like this in his heart, Liu Futong couldn't help but look at Zhang Shihua with a smile on his face. In his mind, Zhang Shihua is a smart person and a person who is very loyal to himself, and he will definitely not go against him at this time.
Therefore, he has now begun to wait in his mind for the draft to be said when the order is given. Therefore, thinking like this in his heart, Liu Futong couldn't help but nod to Zhang Shihua with a smile, signaling that Zhang Shihua should make a statement.
"Marshal Qiyu, the last general thinks that the fact of sending troops to the north is inappropriate, and please think twice!" Zhang Shihua, who was instructed by him, really stood up from his seat with a solemn face, and then after standing up, Zhang Shihua, who had a solemn face, said such a thing.
"It's really inappropriate to go north." Hearing Zhang Shihua say such eight words, Liu Futong, who had always been smiling, couldn't help but put away the smile on his face, and even his eyes became a little cold. Obviously, Zhang Shihua went against him like this, which made his heart extremely unhappy.
However, Liu Futong is also a very urban person after all, although he is unhappy in his heart at this moment, but on the face, he still asks Zhang Shihua in a calm tone: "General Zhang is a brave general of our army, but I don't know why General Zhang said this before such a good opportunity?" ”
"The title has changed, it seems that this time I really touched the tiger's tail!" Hearing Liu Futong speak to himself like this, Zhang Shihua secretly laughed at himself in his heart, but he couldn't help but say to Liu Futong: "Return to Marshal, Marshal, you know. ”
"How strong is the power of the Yuanmeng court in Hebei. That's right, General Han Wunuhan is indeed a well-known brave general in our army, but isn't General Han Yan'er a brave general. Even General Han Yan'er was inevitably defeated under the siege of the Yuanmeng court with his lone army, not to mention General Han Wunuhan? ”
"You must know that it is Hebei, the land of Hebei where hundreds of thousands of Mongolian Tatars are stationed, so ......"
"Enough!" However, before Zhang Shihua could finish what he was going to say, Liu Futong, who was sitting in the main seat, interrupted his speech with great anger.
"General Zhang, when I heard your husband's words yesterday, I thought you were a real man's husband, but I didn't expect you to be so timid before the big event." Speaking of this, Liu Futong couldn't help but sigh deeply and said, "You really disappointed me......"
"Marshal ......" Seeing this, Zhang Shihua naturally wanted to say something, but Liu Futong, who was angry, couldn't listen. Therefore, before Zhang Shihua could continue to speak, Liu Futong waved his hand and said, "Okay, I know what you have to say." ”
"That's right, it is indeed a big risk to lead the army north at this time, but where can my generation of warriors march and fight without taking risks. So you don't need to say anything more, I have made up my mind, and as soon as the New Year is over, I will personally lead the army north. ”
"As for you, Bochang, you can go back tomorrow, lead your soldiers and horses back to Nanyang as soon as possible, and wait for my military life." After saying this, after Liu Futong snorted coldly, he couldn't help but throw off his sleeves and leave, leaving Zhang Shihua standing somewhere to hang, without giving Zhang Shihua any affection.
Seeing this, Zhang Shihua gritted his teeth fiercely, and couldn't help but leave the marshal's mansion with Li Wuda.
……
"Liu Futong, it's really a vertical son!" After riding back to their camp with Li Wu, Zhang Shihua, who was staying at his own camp, couldn't help but become more and more angry the more he thought about it. Therefore, after returning to the Chinese army's big tent, Zhang Shihua slapped the table of the Chinese army's big tent hard, and couldn't help shouting angrily.
"General Shen Yan, we are still in this Ruyang Mansion City, there are some things that I can't say!" Hearing Zhang Shihua's words, Li Wu, as the commander of Zhang Shihua's personal guard, couldn't help but tighten his face, and advised Zhang Shihua so carefully.
However, Zhang Shihua, who was in a state of anger, heard Li Wu's advice, not only did not suppress the anger in his heart, but looked at Li Wu angrily and shouted: "Ah Wu, you are talking about whether Marshal Liu is crazy. Doesn't he understand the simple truth of 'you can't become fat by eating in one bite'? ”
"What's the two-sided attack that makes the Tartar unbearable, bullshit. He also didn't want to think about how many soldiers there were under the rule of Yuanmeng Tartar. That's right, this guy Han Wu Nuhan is indeed a lucky person, but how long can such luck Han Wu Nuhan maintain. ”
"A lone army of rabble, in the north of the river, without any external help, he can jump for a few days. It is estimated that it will be two months at most, and this guy Han Wunuhan will be beheaded by Yuanmeng Tartar. And as long as Han Wunuhan dies at that time, Liu Futong's current arrangement is simply an attic in the air, and it will not be realized at all. ”
"As the commander of the three armies, he doesn't know how to be stable in the combat arrangement, but he puts all his chips on a dead man who is doomed to defeat, he Liu Futong is really crazy!" Speaking of this, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but slap the table next to him again.
And Li Wu, who was standing opposite Zhang Shihua, couldn't help but ask Zhang Shihua with a worried face after listening to Zhang Shihua's penetrating analysis words: "General, if this is the case, what should our army do, do we still have to obey Marshal Liu's orders?" ”
Zhang Shihua: "Hmph, obey Liu Futong's order, that is to find death, I can't take my brothers to fight a battle that I know will be lost." ”
Li Wu: "General, if this is the case, will it ......?"
Zhang Shihua: "Ah Wu, what are you worried about?" As long as we return to Nanyang Mansion smoothly, after the fish enters the sea, what can he Liu Futong do to me, I don't believe that he can still have the determination to break with me at this time. Yes, we must return to Nanyang Mansion as soon as possible, which is our territory. ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but order to Li Wu: "Ah Wu, quickly pass on my military order, let the brothers get ready this afternoon, and we will leave the camp early tomorrow morning." ”
"The last general obeys!" Hearing Zhang Shihua's words, Li Wu also retreated striding after singing a fat promise and gave Zhang Shihua an order.
And Zhang Shihua watched Li Wu's back slowly disappear into his eyes, and his eyes became more and more determined.
……
Early the next morning, after Zhang Shihua, who was like an arrow, informed Liu Futong "personally", he also led his 5,000 men and horses to gather outside the north gate of Ruyang Mansion, preparing to return the same way.
"General, this world is really hot and cold! You have made such a great contribution, not only did Marshal Liu not come to see you off in person, but even Du Xian and General Wang were afraid of upsetting Marshal Liu, so they did not come to practice it for you. ”
"These people are really villains." Seeing that the 5,000 men and horses were about to set off, Liu Futong had not yet shown up to practice for Zhang Shihua, and Zhao Ziyu, who was Zhang Shihua's confidant and staff officer, couldn't help but say to Zhang Shihua with such hatred.
However, when Zhang Shihua heard Zhao Ziyu's words, not only did he not care, but laughed and said: "Ziyu, the people in this world don't know how to see the wind and rudder!" If you get angry and worry about such a trivial matter, will not this person be angry to death? ”
"So why should I remember these people who see the wind and steer the rudder. After all, they can alienate me today because of Marshal Liu, do you know that they will not cut off their relationship with Marshal Liu because of me in the future? Besides, Marshal Liu's account is not all people who see the wind and steer the rudder, don't you see Sheng Wen Yu Sheng Zuo Cheng coming to see us off? ”
Saying this, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but turn his gaze to Sheng Wenyu, who was in the long pavilion in front of him, specially practiced for Zhang Shihua.
……
"General Zhang" saw Zhang Shihua riding a horse in, and Sheng Wenyu, who was standing next to the long pavilion with the guards, couldn't help but wave his hand at Zhang Shihua like this.
And Zhang Shihua, who came on horseback, saw this, naturally turned over and dismounted, waved his hand at Sheng Wenyu and saluted: "The last general Zhang Shihua has seen Sheng Gong, Sheng Gong can come today to practice for the last general, it is really a blessing for me to wait for three lives!" ”
Sheng Wenyu: "Hey, the general is serious. The general is really the pillar of our army, and now that the general has returned with a heavy life, how can I, Sheng Wenyu, not see off the general. ”
Zhang Shihua: "Sheng Gong is really a loyal and benevolent person, and if he can be praised by Sheng Gong, he will have no regrets." But it's a pity that there are too few people like Sheng Gong in our army! ”
Sheng Wenyu was not stupid, after hearing Zhang Shihua's meaningful words, he couldn't help but chuckle and said, "I also know the general's meaning." But general, you also have to know that isn't it just to risk death to revolt just so that we can return the world to the world as soon as possible? ”
"So such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is placed in front of the marshal's eyes, how can the marshal be indifferent!"
However, hearing Sheng Wenyu's words, Zhang Shihua smiled and said: "Sheng Gong, is it true that even you are definitely sending troops north at this moment, is it a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our army?" ”
"This ......" Hearing Zhang Shihua's question, Sheng Wenyu couldn't help but gradually fall silent. After all, Sheng Wenyu is a jinshi, but Sheng Wenyu, a jinshi who has studied hard and has no talent in the art of war, what he is proficient in is actually those subsets of scriptures and histories in books.
So when Zhang Shihua, a general known for knowing soldiers and being good at fighting, asked him like this, how could he have the confidence to answer Zhang Shihua's questions.
And when Zhang Shihua saw this, he naturally understood what was going on. So in order not to embarrass Sheng Wenyu too much, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but say to Sheng Wenyu: "Sheng Gong, you know, although our army has achieved a brilliant victory this time. But there is a saying that 'kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 yourself', although our army wins, but the price is also huge! ”
"The cost is huge......" Sheng Wenyu seemed to be a little puzzled.
When Zhang Shihua heard Sheng Wenyu's words, he also sighed with his hands: "Yes, the price is huge." Sheng Gong, you can know if you think about it, in order to win this battle, our army not only lost all the territory of Anfeng Road, but even the first-class brave general in our army, General Han Yan'er, was also killed on the battlefield. ”
In addition to these two, the casualties of our army from beginning to end are close to 40,000. Isn't all this costly? ”
Sheng Wenyu: "This ...... What General Zhang said is indeed reasonable. But General Zhang, our army still won, and the losses of the Yuanmeng Tartars are much greater than ours. ”
However, hearing Sheng Wenyu's words, Zhang Shihua shook his head, looked at Sheng Wenyu with a solemn face and said: "Sheng Gong, with our army's family background, An Neng will lose more than the Yuanmeng court!" I want to think of the Yuanmeng court, with thousands of miles of land and a million. Let's compare losses with them, even if it's one for three, one for five, we can still lose! ”
"So in a war with the Yuanmeng court, let's not say that we can't afford to lose, even if we win a miserable victory, we can't afford to win. After all, we are compared with his Yuanmeng court, which is tantamount to a childish man compared to a brave man, there is really no comparison! ”
Hearing Zhang Shihua's words, Sheng Wenyu couldn't help frowning, but after a while, he couldn't help but look at Zhang Shihua and said: "The general's words have some truth, but they are too alarmist. Although the Yuanmeng Imperial Court is strong, its fate has been exhausted, not to mention that our army has only been in army for half a year, and most of the Jiangbei provinces are full of red scarves, isn't this a clear proof? ”
