Chapter 6 Self-Rebellion
Although Bishui was still in Dong Zhuo's hands, Yuan Shao and the others in the camp seemed to have seen Sun Jian's hope of taking the city. www.biquge.info Yuan Shao and others completely ignored the news that Dong Zhuo had increased his troops by 50,000 in Bishui as stated in Sun Jian's document, and neither gave him additional troops nor reinforcements, but instead waited for a large number of people and celebrated with a big banquet.
However, Yuan Shao's behavior really made Gao Ye a little crying and laughing. The battle had just begun, and Sun Jian had only won a small victory, and everyone celebrated. If this takes down the water, won't it be a carnival for three days and three nights? Therefore, sitting in the big tent, Gao Ye did not have any joy, but had a deeper understanding of this group of warlords, no wonder these warlords here, at the beginning of the dispute between the princes, almost all of them withdrew from the stage of history, in addition to their own strength, just this kind of passable mentality, they are also destined not to be the opponent of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others.
However, Gao Yeyi is really a little strange, just a small victory, why should everyone celebrate. Especially people like Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, they also celebrated happily, and they really couldn't understand it. It was Cao Cao who quietly told Gao Ye about the doorway, which made Gao Ye feel suddenly enlightened.
"Mingxi, do you think you want to celebrate at this time? Or was he carried away by this small victory? No, Mingxi, Ben is very sober now. You must know how big a blow to the morale of our coalition army is to the defeat of Bao Zhong, not only to those soldiers, but also to the princes of all walks of life. I still remember that day when the school came to report that Bao Zhong had died, and this group of princes were mourning one by one. Today's victory in Wentai, which was originally celebrated here, is more to give these princes some confidence!
We, the princes of the Nineteenth Road, if we talk about fighting alone, I am afraid that we are not Dong Zhuo's opponents at this time, and only by twisting everyone into a rope can we have the strength to fight with Dong Zhuo. But if you look at these people, what Han Fu, Kong Ling, Yuan Yi, Kong Rong, it is not good to fight one by one, but it is better to talk clearly. Seeing the defeat of Bao Zhong's army, they immediately became pessimistic about the coalition army's crusade, and originally wanted to use Wentai's victory to make them firm up their hearts to crusade together.
Why did you let the governor of the highway give grain and grass in the first place? What is the most important thing for the army outside, is food and grass! That Yuan Highway is his own brother, and the highway has mastered the grain and grass, and it is the lifeblood of our nineteen people. No one can bring their own men and horses back without food and grass.
But we are fighting a war, not only must we have the means to control and restrain our subordinates, but we must also give all these nineteen people the confidence of victory. Otherwise, on the battlefield, everyone's hearts are not aligned, and there is no victory! Ben has been leading the troops for a long time, where will it not be clear about this. Therefore, this feast is not impossible. You and I don't go, because I know that you and I will never give up with Dong Zhuoshan. Not to mention that I am wanted by Dong Zhuo, this alliance was initiated by me, how can I retreat? You Gao Ye has a deep enmity with Dong Zhuo, so naturally you will not have a grudge with Dong Zhuo. But what about the others? If you don't give them a solid confidence, it's possible to defect on the verge of defeat. Mingxi, you are indeed very good at fighting, but in terms of calculating people's hearts, you are much worse. ”
When Gao Ye heard this, he couldn't help but nod his head. I feel that fighting a war is a war, and he should be as he should be. A group of chief generals drink and enjoy themselves in the camp all day long, what is it? It's really unseemly to celebrate a small victory now. But after listening to Cao Cao's analysis, he also found that his ideas were too wishful thinking. Most of these princes are weak scholars, where do they know what to fight, and it is already good to be able to bring people. If we can't unify our thinking and twist the strength of the coalition forces into a rope, what kind of war will we fight! Moreover, the coalition army is different from its own army, in its own army, as the supreme commander, the people below naturally obey their orders. But as for the coalition forces, no one needs to be inferior, so why should I listen to your orders! If you want to win, you must not only defeat the enemy tactically, but also unite your teammates politically!
This is the gap between himself and Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others, when it comes to other princes, or people who are equal to their own status, they often think about things more comprehensively than themselves. Sometimes, politics isn't just about the court. Who can say that the current coalition army is not a stage for princes to compete for political ability?
Just when Gao Ye was sighing to himself, Yuan Shu in the back camp was resentful. With the work of this governor's grain and grass, he was really busy every day, and the hundreds of thousands of men and horses of the coalition army, and the people eating horses and chewing horses every day was a big number, and these clerks under their own accounts calculated the military rations every day and sent them to the battalions, and they were almost busy with their feet touching the ground.
But what about him, Yuan Shao, at this time, he was actually holding a banquet to celebrate Sun Jian's first victory! What is this called, a mere nonsense head, worthy of everyone's celebration? Okay, you're all drinking in the big tent, and I'm going to allocate grain and grass for Sun Jian here, this is a tired stupid boy!
Yuan Shu's current unhappy state has completely affected everyone around him, whether it is a general or a scribe, they are all cautious when entering and exiting Yuan Shu's big tent, for fear that Yuan Shu, who is angry, will be angry with them. In fact, there is also a little resentment in the hearts of these little officials, this Sun Jian, when he sent the good news, he didn't forget to urge the grain, Yuan Mengzhu gave an order, and the grain will be sent tomorrow, so everyone is already busy in the middle of the month.
I saw a master book walk up to Yuan Shu and whisper to Yuan Shu: "Lord, there are a few words about sending food to that Sun Jian, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”
"Speak." Yuan Shu squinted at the man, and then said impatiently.
"Yes, yes." The man replied, "According to the small one, it is better not to distribute this military ration." ”
"Oh? That Sun Wentai is fighting for my army under Bishui City, I will wait for the governor to give him grain and grass, and will not give him food, what kind of heart are you! Could it be that you are the undercover agent of the Dong thief? When Yuan Shu heard this, he couldn't help frowning and scolded loudly.
"The Lord is angry." The man fell to his knees with a puff, "Lord, listen to me, I persuade the lord like this, but it is completely for the sake of the lord, what to do with that Dong Zhuo!" ”
"Hmph, come on!"
"Yes, my lord, you think, why does the alliance leader want the lord to supervise the transportation of grain and grass? Isn't it just to control all walks of life and think it's for your own use? But the lord, think about it, as soon as Sun Jian came, he elected Cao Cao as the leader of the alliance, how could his heart be the leader of the alliance or the general? ”
"Hmph, but General Ben is now the governor of grain and grass, if there is any difference in grain and grass, General Ben will be guilty. That concubine is now the leader of the alliance, and he has already suppressed me, if I go out again, won't I be even more criticized by everyone! You still say you're thinking about me? Yuan Shu's words were so loud that he scared the master book so much that his legs trembled, it was broken, how could he forget that his lord had always been unhappy with Yuan Shao! Speaking of Yuan Shao at this time, he really shot himself in the foot!
No, if you don't come back this time, I'm afraid my life will be in danger! Therefore, the master bookkeeper was strong and continued: "Lord, that Sun Jian is now in the vanguard, and the soldiers are in full swing. If the military rations are sufficient, I am afraid of breaking through the water and entering the tiger prison. Now that he is listening to orders in front of the alliance leader's account, and he has made this great achievement, I am afraid that he will be on the side of the alliance leader in the future. It is better to let him lack food and crop, and his army will be scattered! Moreover, Sun Jian is the Taishou of Changsha, but he is eyeing the land of Jiangdong, and always says that it is the land of his father's ancestors. If he is allowed to have this great achievement, on the one hand, he will take refuge in the alliance leader, and on the other hand, he will march into Jiangdong, but I am afraid that my Shouchun City will not be able to protect my lord. ”
His incoherent words are actually not very tenable. Yuan Shu naturally knew very well in his heart that this little official was just a person who wanted to climb up too much, so he gave himself such a bullshit idea. But one thing he said was right, if Sun Jian really entered the Tiger Prison, then he must be the first person in this merit book, how could he not be grateful to Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, when the time comes?
Besides, if the war is really so smooth, it won't add to the prestige of Yuan Shao and Sun Jian, as for himself, the captain of the transportation team, who cares? It's also an idea not to send him food, and it is possible that the food route is not smooth when the war is chaotic, even if Sun Jian comes back, what can he say?
Moreover, he also received a military report, and the garrison in the city was Hua Xiong, a fierce general under Dong Zhuo, and there were 50,000 male soldiers stationed in the city. That Sun Jian was already short of manpower, and if there was no clever plan, it would be difficult to capture. I gave him food at this time, and I was even more panicked when I thought about it. That concubine is now celebrating in a big way, as long as Sun Jian is defeated, what he does at this time will be like a slap in the face, hitting him in the face. In this way, he can not only weaken his prestige Yuan Shao, but also find an opportunity to go to the front line to make meritorious contributions.
It's just that if Sun Jian comes back, it won't be very good, and he won't give him food, but I'm afraid that the world will know about it. However, Hua Xiong is also a fierce general, so it shouldn't be a problem to kill Sun Jian, right? What's more, if the war is in chaos, whether Sun Jian can come back or not is really not certain. Even if he comes back, don't he have a scapegoat! pushed the charge on him and cut off his head, not only appeased Sun Jian, but also seemed to have clear rewards and punishments! In that case, why not do it yourself?
Therefore, Yuan Shu's eyes when he looked at the master book became even more playful, and the master book was so frightened that he trembled. However, Yuan Shu finally chuckled: "What you said makes sense, go ahead, this matter will be left to you." ”
When the man heard this, he answered as if he had been pardoned, and then hurried away. This Yuan Shu is really scary, and he is really a little reckless today! As soon as he went out, the master book, who was already wet with sweat, couldn't help but shudder, but he couldn't even say a word of scolding his mother, just hurriedly completed this big thing that he provoked. It's just that even he doesn't know that he has now become the scapegoat prepared by Yuan Shu.
