Chapter 34: Concerns
In addition to mobilizing the main force to garrison the plains and repairing the camp in the past two days, Li Cheng also carefully interrogated the captured soldiers of the Jinan Army, and has clearly figured out the sequence of this battle. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Moreover, he once disguised himself as a mixed army of the Jinan Army, and saw with his own eyes how Wang Shen fought.
In addition, he also sent someone to carefully guard Wang Shen, and he immediately came to report any movement in the warehouse. Wang Daosi was extremely respected and loved by his subordinates, so naturally he couldn't hide it.
and carefully scrutinized the tactics of Wang Shen in this battle, so that Li Cheng couldn't help but applaud.
Battle after battle, orders must be carried out, taking the lead, and thunderbolt means show the heart of the Bodhisattva, these points really have a bit of Li Cheng's style of leading the troops, and they also greatly affect his appetite.
Seeing Wang Shen, Li Chengcheng seemed to see himself more than ten years ago. This kid is a piece of jade, just polish it for a few years, and after the tempering of the war, it will surely glow with dazzling brilliance. If you recruit into the army, you may become a general under your own command in the future.
To be honest, although Li Chengjun can fight, he has no talents. After all, the troops have been fighting on the move, and there is no consolidated large rear to recuperate, and the scale cannot be increased. In addition, he is now a rogue, and he has no name in the court, but he is a character who is unwilling to be willing to fall into a thief.
Li Cheng is quite ambitious, and the wealth woman is meaningless to him. Wang Shen is now in his own hands, how can he let it go.
It's a pity that this kid's martial arts are too poor, he is a layman, and it is too easy to die in such troubled times, which is also the reason why he carefully instructed Wang Shen just now.
Wang Shen is already old, and he has missed the age of the most martial arts practice. There is no possibility of becoming a master, but under his own training, after two years, he can at least protect himself on the battlefield.
"Ahh Wang Shen froze.
Li Cheng in front of him; His eyes were blazing, and his eyes were full of anticipation. He said this lightly, and even smiled, but there was a murderous aura on his body.
Wang Shen also suspected that as long as he dared to say a word, Li Cheng would immediately ask someone to drag ten people out of the warehouse and cut off their heads.
This person is very courageous, but in his bones he is an extremely murderous warlord, who will kill your whole family and never break his word. If he can't get his hands on something, he won't hesitate to destroy it.
"Do I really want to vote for Li Cheng and be his general?"
Wang Shen hesitated, in such a troubled world, there are soldiers who are the king of grass. As a subordinate of Li Cheng, he established his own team, and has the foresight of modern people about history, and he may not be able to make a career in the future. Take 10,000 steps back, at least you don't have to be as upside down as before, and you don't know where to go.
Besides, An Niang, Yue Yun, Lu Can, and Gu Lie fell into the hands of Li Cheng again, could it be that I watched them die because of me?
In this way, it is also a good choice to vote for Li Cheng and be reused by him!
It doesn't hurt to promise him.
As for Li Cheng's future traitor, as long as he gains his trust and imperceptibly, he may not be able to dispel his idea, and the matter is man-made. In this way, my Han family can also get a strong force like the Yue family's army.
"Forget it, let's take one step at a time, it's important to protect yourself."
As a modern person, Wang Shen has no principles. In his opinion, whether he is looking for Yue Fei in the future, or following Li Cheng now, that is, working for others. If the unit has good benefits and career growth prospects, just do it. If not, it's a big deal to change the boss.
Thinking of this, Wang Shen was so heartbroken that as soon as his lips moved, he was about to agree.
But at this time, there was a sudden thought in my heart: no, not for the time being. Looking at Li Cheng's posture, it seems that he has no intention of being recruited. Although I am extremely cautious about the small court of the Zhao and Song dynasties, for the time being, Zhao Gou still represents the interests of the entire Han nation after all, and needs this banner to gather people's hearts. If Li Cheng doesn't accept Zhao'an, he will still be his rogue gangster. In the future, once Zhao Jiu's regime is stable, he will gain a foothold in Jiangnan and rule the Jurchen River. Li Chengjun was unable to gain a foothold north of the Yangtze River under the pressure of the four generals of Zhongxing, and must surrender to the pseudo-Qi and become a despicable traitor. When the time comes, how do I choose?
I voted for Li Cheng, and I tried my best to increase my strength, and in the end, I made wedding clothes for the pseudo-Qi.
It's not that you can't work in Li Cheng, it's not that you can't take advantage of him as a shareholder, and now the most important thing is to find a way to make Li Cheng accept Zhao'an.
So, what should be done?
Countless thoughts flashed in his heart, and Wang Shen's mind spun rapidly, recalling the historical materials he had seen before.
……
Seeing Wang Shen bowing his head and thinking, Li Cheng was not in a hurry, just looked over quietly.
After a while, Wang Shen slowly raised his head: "The King of Heaven is a first-class hero in this world, and Wang Shen has admired his name for a long time." ”
Li Cheng thought that he had obediently complied under his coercion, and a smile appeared on his face.
Wang Shen: "This time, Wang Shen crossed the river by the holy decree of the official, and he was taught by Zhang Xianggong, the so-called food of the king, and the matter of loyalty to the king. Even if you are crushed, you have to promote this recruitment. Otherwise, what will be the face of the world in the future? ”
The smile on Li Cheng's face froze.
Wang Shen didn't wait for Li Cheng to attack, smiled, and continued: "Actually, I also know that the King of Heaven is a matter of loyalty, otherwise, I would not have served as the Huaibei Capture and Killing Envoy at the beginning, and I just wanted to serve the country." This time it is the opposite, but it is the situation. It is really that the treasury of the imperial court is empty, and there is not a penny of military salaries. Hey......"
He sighed lightly: "Speaking of which, the imperial court is also ashamed of the soldiers under the command of the King of Heaven, and ashamed of the righteous armies from all walks of life in Jiangbei. However, this is not a reason for us to ignore the imperial court and the common people of the world. ”
Li Cheng didn't speak, and his gaze returned sharply.
Wang Shen sighed at the king and said loudly: "The reason why the king of heaven refuses to accept Zhao'an, but he is worried about Du Chong and Du Gongmei? ”
"You...... Licentious! Li Cheng's complexion changed greatly, and he couldn't help but shout, like thunder.
The sound echoed in the courtyard, and yellow leaves fell from the tree overhead.
Wang Shen was not afraid, and raised his voice: "Li Tianwang is afraid that Du Chong will lean into the government and the opposition, but he will kill you in the future?" Rest assured, such a thing will never happen? ”
"Absolutely impossible, just you?" Li Cheng suddenly sneered, with a sneering face: "Or is it just your master Zhang Jun and Zhang Xianggong?" Although I am in Jiangbei, I can't hide the affairs of the imperial court. Du Chong led the army of the Tokyo Garrison Division to retreat south, and the official family intended to let him control the Jiangbei army. When the time comes, even so-and-so will become his subordinate. If he had a different idea, he would have found a reason to add an axe to me. Zhang Xiang is in the court, separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, how can he keep Li? Even if he can't move me for the time being, in the name of his boss, he will deduct my military salary, swallow my territory, annex my subordinates, and become a senior official, and when the time comes, he should or should not. Yes, that is, to die a few days later. No, you will be labeled as an anti-thief immediately, that is, you will die immediately. How can a man's husband, who crisscrosses the heavens and the earth, be manipulated by others like a child? ”
"Haha, haha, I have heard that Li Boyou is a hero in the world, but I don't want to make you worry like this with just one Du Chong, it's a joke, it's a joke!" Wang Shen laughed loudly: "In a certain opinion, that Du Chong is just a dry bone in the grave, so what is there to fear?" ”
If others heard Wang Shen's words, they would have already burst into a rage.
But Li Cheng calmed down and said lightly: "Wang Daosi, if you want to hear it, why is Du Chong's old puppet a dry bone in the grave?" ”
The conversation between the two involved a past incident the year before last, when Li Chengjun fled to Henan, there was a lack of military funds and plundered money.
At that time, Zong Ze was ill, and Du Chong took up the post of the Tokyo Left-behind Division, responsible for the defense of Henan.
Du Chong is greedy and incompetent, unable to convince the public, and cruel and easy to kill. The two armies faced each other and suffered casualties on each other. The fierce generals of the Tokyo Left-behind Division were like clouds, and the soldiers and horses under his jurisdiction could be the strongest fighting force in the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty at that time. Li Cheng was unable to be defeated, so he had no choice but to withdraw from Henan and flee to Huaibei.
In this war, although Li Cheng couldn't defeat the left-behind troops in Tokyo, he didn't gain nothing, and he actually captured Du Chong's family in a battle.
The two armies had already fought a real fire in Kaifeng, and Li Wei was fierce and directly killed the old and young of the Du family. Since then, the two can be said to have formed a blood feud.
In today's Kaifeng internal strife, Hebei tycoons Zhang Yong, Cao Cheng, Wang Shan and others who fled south to Tokyo are not satisfied with Du Chong and lead the army into chaos. Du Chong was defeated repeatedly, and even Tokyo was occupied. Plus there are signs that the Jurchens are committing an autumn offense.
This mediocre waste was afraid in his heart, abandoned the old capital, and led the army to flee south.
It is said that the military and political officials of one side have lost the city and land, and the national law cannot tolerate it. It is strange to say that Zhao Gou not only did not punish Du Chong, but was even more trustworthy, and actually ordered him to be in charge of the defense of the river and control the military horses north of the entire Yangtze River. The power and the territory under its jurisdiction are greater and more numerous than before.
If Li Cheng changes the banner, he will also become Du Chong's subordinate, and his life will be better.
In real history, Li Cheng was indeed unable to survive in Jianghuai, and after capturing Sizhou, he sent Zhang Cong as an envoy to ask for Zhao'an. The court also nodded, but because of the enmity between himself and Du Chong, Zhang Cong had not returned to Sizhou, Li Chengcheng repented, and led the army west after robbing the people.
As for where Zhang Cong went later, there is no record in the history books. It is estimated that Zhang Cong saw that he could not do anything, and he couldn't find Li Cheng, so he simply stayed in Jiangnan.
This is also what Wang Shen suddenly recalled when his mind moved just now.
He almost slapped himself on the forehead: Ignore, ignore, blame me for not reading carefully, but I didn't think of this.
Now that he remembered this detail, and more points that he hadn't cared about when he was studying before, Wang Shen immediately had a way to deal with it.
Wang Shen said lightly: "Du Chong, who lost his ground, is brutal and incompetent, and has the heart of a soldier. The reason why the imperial court did not punish him was not to take into account the military power in his hands. After all, the soldiers and horses left behind in Tokyo are the most capable of fighting after the National Revolution of the Great Song Dynasty Jingkang. Even if the official family is resentful of this person, in order to maintain the situation in Jianghuai, they can't do without this fang. After all, the Jurchen army is about to go south, and changing commanders on the spot is a taboo for soldiers, and it is better to be still than to move. Du Chong also relied on this, so he was arrogant and lawless. It's just that he has already committed the jealousy of others. Not to mention the imperial court, even if the military masters of the Jiangbei armies are afraid, they may not be convinced by him. ”
Li Cheng's expression became solemn: "Go on." ”
