Chapter 201: Another Good General

When Sima Bao heard this, he was really furious: "Zhang Chun is extremely useless! King Gu gave him 30,000 horses, so that he could sweep Longxi with superior forces and report victory earlier. Now that he is delaying for so long and not making contributions for a long time, what kind of soldiers will he bring, and what kind of general will he be! Now spread the will of Lone, tell Zhang Chun to come back, and Yang Ci is also a waste, and the Lone King will send another good general......"

Chun Yuding also knew that Hu Song had been suppressed by Zhang Chun for a long time and was resentful, so he was taking the opportunity to take revenge. But Chun Yuding and Zhang Chun are good after all, and it is not good to pretend to be deaf and dumb at this time, so he can't say it, so he has to come out and say: "King, although the old minister is a civil official, he also knows that changing generals in battle is a taboo for soldiers." Now that the attack on Xiangwu is in the stage of attacking and stalemate, if General Zhang is rashly withdrawn at this time, will it ......?"

"It is difficult to move an inch under the city, and the food and straw of the soldiers are consumed in vain, what does the Lone King want him to do!" Sima Bao slapped the case a few times, "Don't say it again, the decision has been made, let Zhang Chun get back immediately, the former enemy general, the lonely king will be sent another one, send ......"

Speaking of which, Sima Bao was stuck. With his eyes in anticipation, he swept around in a group of generals, but he couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while.

Hu Song's qualifications are naturally no problem, but in fact they are still not good. Hu Song has always been silent, and he has never heard him take the initiative to give any opinions or suggestions, always with a wooden expression, as if everything has nothing to do with him, and he can't figure out what he thinks every day. This kind of unpredictable person does not dare to rely on it at a critical moment, so he should let it go first.

Wang Lian was sent to take over Lintao City to guard against Yinping County. A few days ago, he also wrote a letter saying that the situation was grim and asked for more troops, but Sima Bao had no choice but to send another 2,000 troops. And clearly asked him that before Xiangwu City was captured and Longxi County was not completely pacified, he would be considered meritorious if he held on to Lintao without losing it. Now how could Wang Lian take the initiative to give up Lintao and go to Xiangwu City instead, don't think about this.

Yang Tao? It's a battle that can be brought in by soldiers. But since he was dragged down by Ren Hua last time and led to the defeat of Yinping's army, he complained about the palace, offended by losing his manners, was beaten by being robbed of his official position, and is still in prison. Sima Bao thought about it for a long time, but after all, he still couldn't pull his face to ask him out.

There is also Yang Ci as a deputy general, following Zhang Chun around, the old teacher is useless, and Yang Ci has nothing to do with it. Sima Bao looked down depressedly, and the newly surrendered Li Bao stood with his head held high, but this person blatantly rebelled against the master, killed his colleagues, and had a corrupt heart. Although he awarded the partial general as a reward, Sima Bao was not worried about Li Bao staying in Lintao at all, so he simply recalled it and put it under his nose to take care of it first, and after pacifying Longxi, whether to leave Li Bao's life or not is still under consideration, how can he let this kind of person become the former enemy general!

In addition, most of the generals in the squad are difficult to take up their posts. Sima Bao became a little irritable, and his face was ugly and silent for a long time. He has already resolutely stated in front of everyone that he wants to remove Zhang Chun, and he can't slap himself in the mouth because he can't find a suitable replacement for a while, so as to retract what he said.

Huh? By the way, why did Fang just ignore this person? Sima Bao's eyes suddenly lit up, and his eyes locked on Chen An at the end of the hall.

Since Chen An attacked Xiangwu and stabbed Gao Yue, he actually broke free from the net of the Longxi Army and fled back to Shangqi with his extraordinary skills and clever reactions. Sima Bao was shocked after the report, and at the same time heard about Chen An's results, he was even more appreciative, even if he promoted Chen An to the general of Yamen. But Chen An thanked him on the one hand, and on the other hand, because of Wang Lian's inaction, all 200 old subordinates were killed in battle, and he was angry, and in front of Sima Bao, he accused Wang Lian of deserving of death, and finally argued with Zhang Chun, and he was angry and did not flinch.

In the end, it was Sima Bao who personally reconciled with the mud. But in order to appease Zhang Chun, the old department, he also admonished Chen An on the grounds that he was rude to the official when he was in the palace, and ordered Chen An to reflect and think about it, and he was not allowed to go out without being edicted for a period of time.

Today, because of the military situation, Sima Bao ordered all civil and military officials to come to the assembly to discuss, so Chen An was able to reappear in sight. It's been a long time, and I've almost forgotten it. Although this person has a bright and rigid personality, he is also a talent who can fight and dare to fight, and he can use it to save the scene in the current special period.

"Chen An, come and speak."

As Sima Bao called out, everyone looked over, and in the different eyes of everyone, Chen An strode forward, his face calm and his demeanor calm.

"The Lone King wants you to go to the front line to lead the army and capture Xiangwu for the Lone King, I don't know what you think?"

At first glance, when Sima Bao was so straightforward, not only the people in the palace were surprised, but even Chen An himself did not expect it at all. His triangular eyes were raised, and the essence of his eyes flashed, but he lowered his head slightly, and his face was difficult to distinguish: "The minister is just a sword in the hands of the king, and the advance and retreat are only determined by the king." ”

"Oh? Good. Seeing that he had no intention of retreating, Sima Bao was very satisfied with Chen An's answer, put his mind at ease, and said, "So, what do you ask for or what advice do you have?" ”

"A courtier should be ordered to go out at once. But the king inquired about it, and the minister still had an idea. Gao Yue vainly claimed to be the state pastor, and his deeds were the same as rebellion, and the king should also immediately issue an edict to reprimand him, and issue a notice to the world, expose his illegality, and suppress it morally. In addition, under the city of Xiangwu, our army has been stagnant for a long time, the veteran soldiers of the division are tired, and the soldiers have been lost one after another, and the morale must have been low. The minister asked the king to allocate another 5,000 tiger pawns for now, and the minister brought them to rectify military discipline, inspire people, and restore morale. ”

-for-tat refutation, this is a good suggestion. Sima Bao bowed his head frequently, feeling that someone had finally said something. In addition, there are still 20,000 elites in the Shangqi garrison, and if another 5,000 are allocated, there should be no adverse consequences for the time being. Sima Bao thought for a moment, then readily agreed, and in order to subdue the army so as to better complete the task, the palace once again promoted Chen An to the rebellious general, causing an uproar.

Chun Yuding was influenced by Zhang Chun, looked down on Chen An, and relied on his seniority and high position, so he couldn't help but stand up again: "King, Rong Chen is a gift." In just half a year, Chen An has become a five-rank general from a small captain, which is unique in this dynasty, and it is rare to hear of it in the pre-Wei era. The king's kindness is certainly admirable, but is it not appropriate to be promoted beyond the specifications of such a standard? ”

Chen An was stunned, still hanging his face slightly, not seeing joy or anger. There were already many people who usually echoed Zhang Chun, and they also objected, and a few even made a lot of voices and made angry complaints.

"It's inappropriate to say this in the long history!"

Chun Yu Ding saw that Sima Bao was displeased, and couldn't help but be stunned, his heart kicked the iron plate today, it seems that the zodiac is unlucky, so it is better to stop talking and not to find trouble. He even claimed that it was, stood down, made up his mind in his heart, and did not say a word again until the end of the court meeting.

Sima Bao said angrily: "Don't say it again!" At extraordinary times, the lone king has no way. If you can all be angry, will the Lone King still be stretched like this? One by one, if you can share the worries for the lonely king, and now lead the troops to quell the rebellion in Longxi and capture the rebels, then don't talk about the rebellious general, it is to conquer the town and peace, and the lonely king will not hesitate to reward. What do you think? But who wants to go? ”

There was silence below. Everyone retracted their heads, as if they were all worried. Chen An sneered, cleared his throat, and said loudly to Sima Bao: "Gaoyue in Longxi, and the minister has become a mortal enemy. The minister is willing to exchange Gao Yue's head for the seal of the general! ”

Three days later, Chen An led 5,000 soldiers and horses to the west. Along the way, he talked about military discipline, ate and slept with ordinary soldiers, and talked with each other with good words and comforted him, which won a lot of favor from the officers and soldiers up and down, and everyone really supported Chen An. On this day, after breakfast, the army marched in the same way, and after a long march, there were horses galloping from far and near from the front.

"General! Less than twenty miles ahead, you will arrive at Xinxing City. ”

"Emerging is coming?" The left and right generals couldn't help but chat with each other, and a few of them were more familiar with the terrain, so they said to Chen Anyan: "General Chen, this emerging city is the westernmost city of our Tianshui County. Out of Xinxing, it didn't take half an hour to set foot on the boundary of Longxi County. ”

Chen An nodded, "Okay." In this case, the order was given, and the brothers hurried with all their might, and it was better to enter Xinxing, rest a little, and replenish their spirits before setting out. ”

It didn't take long to arrive at the new city. Chen An looked up, although Xinxing was not as good as the big cities of Qinzhou such as Shangqi and Xiangwu, it was also more magnificent than the general county seats. At this time, the military flag on the city fluttered, and there were soldiers walking back and forth from a distance, and it was very quiet and orderly.

"Who is the commander of this city?"

There was a school captain Shi Rong, who asked the chief general to ask a question, and said: "Xinxing county order, called Wan Hong, will be a county lieutenant in this city for a period of time at the end of a few years ago, and the county governor at that time is Wan Hong." Later, the general was transferred, and when he heard that he was promoted to the county magistrate, he was also regarded as an old colleague. ”

With Chen An's answer, Shi Rong urged the horse, took a few steps closer, and raised his head and shouted, "Please call Wan Xian Ling to go upstairs to answer." ”
