Chapter 32: Wu Hook Finally Laughs at Feng Tang (8)
Han Gang could see that Han Jiang was obviously asking for his opinion, but he actually hoped that he would stand up and recommend himself, and say, 'The public has a life, how dare Han Gang spare his life?' ’
Han Jiang repaid the favor and wanted to give credit to himself. As long as Han Gangken recommends himself, Han Xianggong, who is now looking at him with a smile, will hand over this task to him.
But for the credit of this persuasion, Han Gang was not very interested. He is not short of credit now, plus what he once said in Wang Anshi's house, and the credit related to Hengshan, he is not ready to ask for it, including this time.
In addition, all the generals in the tent are staring, and it is too easy to offend people by stealing food. Han Gang could clearly see that as soon as Han Jiang came out with the word surrender, the eyes of these generals in the tent lit up suddenly.
How many years has Wu Kui been on Huanqing Road, and when he started fighting, he led troops to the nearby Yanyan Road and Jingyuan Road, and among the generals in the column, how many of them had no friendship with him? went to find Wu Kui Lala to make friends, climb the relationship, and tricked him into surrendering the city. As long as he can make contributions in Xianyang this time, he may not be the next Guo Kui in the future.
Han Gang also knew how eager these red guys were to make meritorious contributions, and the dream of three generations of wives and sons, wealth and wealth, which general and colonel who had mixed in the army had not done it? The opportunity for meritorious service was in front of him, and Han Gang really had no intention of competing with them. Han Gang didn't like this, although Han Jiang may have been unintentional, it made him the target of public criticism.
It's just the current situation, Han Jiang's kindness can't be ignored, and everyone understands Han Jiang's intentions. If he retreats, he will inevitably make people look down on him, thinking that he is not greedy for life and afraid of death, and he is unwilling to serve the country.
Zhao Zhan seemed to think so, he looked at Han Gang hesitating and frowning. He was the standard old party doctor, and his approach to mutiny was as usual in the story. There is no objection to Han Jiang's intention to recruit the rebels in the city, one is because in the past, there was basically a surrender in the past, and the other was to attack the city with all his might, and the people in the city would inevitably be damaged, if there were fewer casualties, he would also be happy to see it.
"Han Gang, don't you have anything to say?" Zhao Zhan asked.
"If you mutiny, you should be beheaded, and your family should be beheaded according to the law. But you can't do that if you surrender...... Wu Kui must not be spared, but as for the disposal of the rest of the traitors, since it is a surrender, there must be a name, which can not only show the leniency of the court, but also reflect the strictness of the law. ”
Han Gang talked about things, but he didn't understand what Han Jiang meant. But he is not wrong, you must not go and tell the traitors in the city that all your family must die. Lenient conditions must always be offered.
Zhao Zhan felt a little angry in his heart, in his opinion, Han Gang was deliberately embarrassed or wanted to shirk it, so he said these words.
The matter of surrender was originally a deception, and the traitor was deceived into surrendering and then disposed of. After surrendering, there were too many rebels and thieves to be killed. Of the Baozhou rebels who were recruited by Guo Kui back then, a few survived at the least, and no one can say for sure. Although he won't kill openly, if he finds an excuse to deal with it, the court won't take it to heart. It would be stupid to talk to thieves about credit.
It's just that these things can be done, but they can't be said, and the face of the court has to say the past. Han Gang made his words clear, and directly asked what conditions were offered to the traitor, how did he Zhao Zhan answer?
"Wu Kui is an understanding person. He will not believe that he will be forgiven for his sins. Han Gang's words were even more straightforward, he really wanted to embarrass people. He didn't believe that Zhao Zhan dared to tell him that he would deceive people and dispose of them.
And Wu Kui is by no means a fool, he is one of the few outstanding generals in the Western Army, otherwise he would not have attracted thousands of soldiers under his command to raise troops to ask for an explanation for him because he was wronged.
The result of the surrender of the imperial court, he himself knew best. Which of Han Jiang or Chong Ge will spare him? How many people's efforts have been ruined by his mutiny, even if he did not lead the uprising, this resentment still falls on him.
Zhao Zhan was stunned for a while, he had no right to make decisions, nor did he have the right to set conditions, he had to let Han Jiang, who had the power to do things cheaply, speak.
Seeing that Zhao Zhan had nothing to say, Han Jiang was quite happy. Although Han Gang was refuting his kindness, he was able to block Zhao Zhan, who was acting on behalf of him, so that he couldn't speak, but he didn't care about Han Gang's ignorance.
The original intention of surrender was to bargain, the conditions must be opened, and the bottom limit must be grasped, Han Jiang pondered for a while, and said: "Wu Kui must not be spared, but the soldiers below can only be sentenced to exile, and their families can also be exonerated." What do you think? ”
"It's all up to justice."
Han Gang lowered his head, of course he had ideas, but this was not something he could interject in, and Han Gang would not make a fuss about this. But the punishment of exile was what he wanted to see.
Three thousand rebels can't be killed, just kill the first evil. Although Wu Kui is a pity, he has offended too many people, and it is impossible to spare him with what he has committed, but it would be a pity if all the soldiers below were disposed of. All of them are rare elites, not ordinary vanguards. And Hehuang is short of manpower, and there are 3,000 more Tuntian soldiers who can fight, which is a good thing, Han Gang believes that with the ability of the Xuanfu Division on the edge of the edge, it should not be difficult to appease them.
After he really surrendered, he applied to the imperial court, and with Wang Shao's face and his Han Gang's status in front of Wang Anshi and Han Jiang, he should be able to succeed. Thinking about it now, Han Gang felt that it was not impossible to go to Xianyang City in person. It's just that Han Jiang saw Han Gang's refusal, but he didn't let him go, and asked below, "Who wants to go to Xianyang?" ”
Han Jiang asked, and the generals below suddenly became excited. I thought I would rob Han Gang, but I didn't expect Han San to be interesting, so instead of competing with them, he paved the way, and looked at Han Gang with deep gratitude. Suddenly, they jumped out one by one, and they all said in unison: "The last general wishes!" ”
As the saying goes, one monk carries water to drink, two monks carry water to drink, and three monks have no water to drink. More than a dozen people rushed to surrender, and they made a lot of trouble in front of Han Jiang, and there was no result after the trouble. It's ironic that it turned into a renegotiation in the end.
Look at the general's disappointed expressions. Han Gang also found it very interesting. But he doesn't care anymore, there may not be an echo if he goes now, Wang Wenliang, who has just defeated the siege, Wu Kui's people are still there, and he wants his subordinates to betray him, and it is not yet time. After a while, it would be better to beat the arrogance of the rebels down, and it would be better if he could wait for the new catapult he proposed to be put into battle
The military discussion continued, but it changed from surrender to how to attack Xianyang. Because of the idea of surrendering, Han Jiang didn't want to see big casualties, so he focused on how to hit the morale of the rebels, so that he could surrender smoothly.
During the discussion, Han Gang didn't say much else, but vaguely revealed his thoughts, hoping to arrange the exile of the three thousand rebels to Hehuang.
Han Gang said vaguely, except for Han Jiang, Chong Ge and others, many generals were still confused, but Zhao Zhan understood it at once.
Zhao Zhan really didn't like Han Gang's temperament very much, and the few behaviors he did to help Han Jiang out of the siege fell into his eyes, and they became slapsticks. Moreover, Han Gang didn't give him face very much, and he was ugly in front of him, which made Zhao Zhan even more displeased. Now that he has found Han Gang's fault, he will not let it go at all, "Han Gang! Guangrui's rebels are in trouble, even if they surrender to their death, they should be far away from the southern wilderness, how can they leave this heart disease in Guanzhong! He narrowed his eyes slightly, "Listening to what Wang Wenliang said before his death, you and the traitor Wu Kui used to walk together, do you have the intention of exculpating the thief?" ”
Zhao Zhan said too much, and the generals in the column were a little commotion for a while. Han Jiang was also unhappy, knowing that Zhao Zhan was taking the opportunity to attack.
And Han Gang had a sharp look in his eyes, raised his eyes and faced Zhao Zhan, and retorted unceremoniously: "Guangrui's traitor shocked Guanzhong, if he is not pacified, it will be difficult for the Son of Heaven to sleep peacefully." But to say that they are a disease of the heart is a little too much. It's just a group of traitors who have lost their ground, although Wu Kui presides, but any of the four roads on the edge can be extinguished. Didn't the head of Yan in front almost wipe it out, and then although there was a slight problem for some reason, he also surrounded it in Xianyang City before the head of the plant came to help. As for walking with Wu Kui, it was because his rebellion was not obvious at that time, and it was inconvenient for the lower officials to be suspicious. ”
Zhao Zhan's face gradually became gloomy, and a fierce color condensed on his brows. Han Gang's words, the last sentence of the last sentence is ignored, the previous words are clearly accusing him of misbehaving, forcing Luo Wu to return to the front line, and ruining the overall situation of Hengshan.
Han Gang turned a blind eye to Zhao Zhan's angry gaze, "If you can't get along with me, don't blame me for not giving face." He has always respected me, and I have respected people. Zhao Zhan wanted to embarrass him, and even said that he had something to do with Wu Kui, so don't blame him for slapping him back.
Han Gang was not afraid of offending Zhao Zhan, who was carrying the king's order, because Zhao Zhan's thoughts and judgments were not necessarily the same as Zhao Ji, although he represented the Son of Heaven in Kansai.
The key is what Zhao Zhan will think - Zhao Zhan is the one who forced Luo Wu to withdraw his troops. If Zhao Zhan was allowed to choose by himself, at that time, he would inevitably choose to retreat from the front line like Zhao Zhan in order to maintain the stability of Guanzhong's internal affairs. But people like to regret, and even if they make a decision, they always think that if they had made a different choice, maybe the result would have been better.
If the front line does not withdraw the army and hold Luo Wucheng firmly, he should be able to settle Hengshan in one fell swoop, and then tie a noose around the neck of Western Xia. Although the Guangrui rebels went straight south to Chang'an Jingzhao Mansion, after all, before Luo Wu withdrew, Wu Kui and his 3,000 cavalry had already been surrounded in Xianyang City, and they did not necessarily need to gather the elite troops on the front line. Perhaps as long as they are eliminated, the situation in Guanzhong will be stabilized.
Could Zhao Ji think so? Han Gang is completely sure that his grasp of people's hearts is still a little bit of a spectrum. Even if Zhao Ji didn't think so, Han Jiang and Chong Ge would let him think in this direction, especially since Han Gang had already reminded them. This is a good opportunity to pass the buck!
Once this thought takes root in Zhao Xuan's heart, the psychology of regret will make Zhao Zhan a target for venting - especially when Luo Wu withdraws his troops, it is Zhao Zhan who forces Han Jiang to make a decision. Procedurally speaking, this is actually not in accordance with the rules, and he did not receive this power, but only with the help of the identity of the envoy of the Son of Heaven, and Han Jiang himself was a little discouraged and gave him a chance.
Still proud? Han Gang sneered slightly and confronted Zhao Zhan without letting go at all, there is a bitterness in the back for you to eat!
