Chapter 694: Are You Also Called a Brother?
In the face of Han Shige's aggressive "attack", Li Fengyun avoided it without fighting? Overcoming rigidity with softness, not only skillfully defused Han Shige's offensive, but also lured Han Shige into the "pit", Han Shige was in a dilemma, and there was suffering. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Fengyun is nominally revealing secrets, but in fact he is rejecting Han Shige's request, you are not familiar with the terrain, you don't know the road, you don't know the opponent, your eyes are black, what kind of pioneer are you? It's okay for you to be wiped out by your own army, but you can't involve other people, and you can't sabotage the plan of the Northern Expedition. And from another point of view, Li Fengyun is patiently and vaguely persuading Han Shige, I have a backhand outside the Saiwai, this victory is still very big, you should be confident, there is no need to tear your face and ruin morale, it is not good for anyone to get out of the way.
Han Shige's calculation failed, he was very depressed, and at the same time he was attracted by the bait thrown by Li Fengyun, so he couldn't help but suffer from gains and losses.
"Originally, a certain should have been in charge of the Chinese army and responded in the center, but now the situation is special, and a certain must be the vanguard in person, so as to wave out all the advantages in his hand, so that there is the possibility of creating a miracle." Li Fengyun bowed slightly at Han Shige, and said apologetically, "It's better to ask Xinyigong to sit in the Chinese army, if there is anything you can't consider, please understand." ”
Han Shige opened his mouth, and he had the intention to oppose it, but he couldn't find an excuse. Li Fengyun "counterattacked" too quickly, he was a little caught off guard and didn't have time to react, but he really needed time to weigh the pros and cons, so he planned to find a reason to delay.
"Next, let's discuss the matter of grain and grass." Li Fengyun didn't give him time at all, and directly skipped to the next topic.
"Some people say that the battle out of Cyprus was too hasty, the plan for the northern expedition came too suddenly, and we had no time to prepare. The army did not move, the grain went first, especially the expedition out of the fortress, grain and grass were even more crucial, and we only prepared 30 days' rations, which was like child's play, burying the fatal hidden danger of failure. Li paused here, his gaze slowly swept over the faces of the generals, and finally met Han Shige, who was secretly annoyed, and said with a smile, "Some people complain that the grain we have worked so hard to grab is finally better for others; There were also suggestions that we should cross the river a little more slowly in order to prepare as much grain and grass as possible. Here I want to emphasize that the key to the victory or defeat of this battle is the degree, is the noble god of soldiers, and the Beiyu is caught off guard, once delayed, the Beiyu has time to react, then the situation is unfavorable to us, so the only way to solve the shortage of food and grass is to feed the war with war, there is no other way. As for the complaints, I felt that it was necessary to explain them, so as not to cause misunderstandings and contradictions. ”
There are about 100,000 civilians who have to follow the alliance to fight around for various reasons, including a large number of old and weak women and children, and in the short term, Feihu alone cannot solve their survival, and they must be fed with food, and then gradually resettle them through the local government and wealthy families when the situation improves, so although the amount of food left in Feihu is considerable, the number of soldiers and civilians who stay behind on these foods is even larger. But this is not the biggest crisis, the biggest crisis is internal and external troubles, outside there are the King of Qi, Zhuojun Left-behind Mansion and local wealthy families surrounded, inside there are various factions and mountains of open and secret fighting, and Li Fengyun and Li Zixiong left, only Zhen Baoche, Chen Rui, Han Yao and others can not maintain the authority of the Great Governor's Mansion at all, all the heroes will inevitably support their own troops, and even covet the highest power, so it will inevitably affect the combat effectiveness, and there is a danger of being broken by external forces.
Before Li Fengyun's explanation was finished, the anger in Han Shige's heart had disappeared, and his anxious mood quickly calmed down. He knew that he was wrong, because he didn't know the real situation inside the alliance, he was very optimistic about staying in Yanbei, and even had the ambition to take the opportunity to control the alliance, and now listening to Li Fengyun's such a concise explanation, he immediately realized that he had despised the gang of thieves too much, and he was suspected of arrogance, and many ideas were completely unrealistic wishful thinking.
The military discussion went smoothly, and finally Li Fengyun ordered that the troops enter Changning tomorrow and cross Sanggan.
On the afternoon of June 26, Huairong City, Yanbei.
Recently, Wu Benlang has been in a worse mood for Zhao Shizhu, which is very bad.
Since Chen Ling, the deputy guard of Zhuo County, led his army south to the eastern capital to quell the rebellion, Zhao Shizhu rushed to Huairong from Yuyanghuo to take over the important task of Chen Ling's garrison of Yanbei. The benefits of smuggling in Yanbei are very rich, because the demand for strategic materials such as salt, iron and tea in the desert is very large, and the official channels are far from satisfying, so they can only find ways to supplement it by the smuggling trade, so the town of Yanbei has always been a "fat shortage".
Zhao Shizhu has been yearning for this position for a long time, and now he finally got his wish, he thought he could make a big profit, but there were unforeseen circumstances, his luck was too bad, he just mixed a "familiar face" in Yanbei, and the relationship with all aspects was smoothed, and he figured out the way to legally "make money", and was about to roll up his sleeves and do a big job, but a traitor suddenly fell from the sky, occupied the flying fox with lightning speed, cut off the largest smuggling channel in Yanbei, not only cut off his financial route, but also gave him a slap in the face, It also seriously confused the situation in Youyan, deteriorated the security of the border towns, and aggravated the contradictions and conflicts between the north and the south.
Zhao Shizhu is from the Tianshui Zhao family. Tianshui Zhao is a famous family in Longxi, there is an important seat in the Guanlong aristocratic group, the ancestor has done the Northern Wei Treasury Shangshu Zhao Da, there is one of the Western Wei Dynasty Eight Pillars of Zhao Gui, can be described as a number of talents. Zhao Shizhu, a native of Longxi, and Duan Da, a native of Hexi, are world friends, and the two families also have an in-law relationship and have close contacts, so after Duan Da was appointed as the guard of Zhuo County, in order to ensure the safety of the town, it is natural to arrange a few cronies as "right-hand men", so under the operation of Duan Da, Zhao Shizhu, who was far away on the battlefield in Liaodong, was transferred to Youzhou Zhenshu, mainly responsible for the defense of Yuyang, Beiping and Anle counties, and Chen Ling, a confidant of the Holy Lord, was appointed as a deputy and was responsible for the garrison in the direction of Yanbei.
This kind of power balance in the officialdom is very normal to prevent one family from becoming dominant, so when Chen Ling led the army south to the eastern capital to quell the rebellion, Duan Da did not consider the new candidate for the deputy to stay behind, but first seized the benefits of Yanbei, and transferred Zhao Shizhu to Yanbei as quickly as possible. It also played a decisive role in the future development of north-south relations, so the Zhuojun Left-behind Mansion, as the highest military and political institution in the Youyan region, will inevitably become the main executor of some major decisions of the Holy Lord and the center, and its implementation results directly affect the future trend of the general trend at home and abroad, so the status and power of the Zhuojun Left-behind Mansion will inevitably be consolidated and strengthened.
In this context, in order to ensure the intensity and results of execution, and to ensure that he can establish meritorious service and go further in his career, Duan Da must firmly seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if he wants to seize the opportunity, he must first ensure the concentration of his power, and he must absolutely control the Zhuojun Left-behind Mansion, and he must absolutely control the Youyan Town Garrison, so Duan Da began to consider replacing the deputy left-behind and considering the candidate for the deputy left-behind.
Duan Da chose his brother Wu Benlang, the commander of the Xiaoguo Army, to take the Yin Shishi as his best partner. The biggest reason why the Yin World Master was chosen was that the Yin World Master won the trust of the Holy Lord, which was very important, otherwise the Holy Lord would not only not accept Duan Da's suggestion, but would suspect Duan Da of engaging in a "small mountain" and had other intentions.
This matter is very important, Duan Da must inform Zhao Shizhu in advance and explain it in detail to prevent misunderstanding. Zhao Shizhu is now the commander of the Youyan Town Army, replacing Chen Ling in charge of the Youyan garrison, and in the defense area of Youyan, Duan Da is the military and political chief, he is in second place, if Chen Ling is transferred, Zhao Shizhu has the advantage of ascending, plus Duan Da is his brother again, and he took the initiative to invite him to Youyan to help, so it is reasonable that Duan Da should do his best to push him to the position of deputy guard, what is the result? As a result, Duan Da told him, brother, I invited the Yin World Master from the Xiaoguo Army to be the deputy guard, and the three of us brothers will work together to seek the future.
Zhao Shizhu was furious. Outrageous! When you asked me for help, I didn't say a word, I came right away, but when I asked you for help, and you were busy, not only did you not help, but you turned your elbow outward, and even invited the Yin World Master from the Xiaoguo Army, abandoning me like a shoe, ruthless and unrighteous to the extreme. You also call it brother? If you are a brother, you should stick a knife in both ribs, and you should "do it for the sake of not doing it", how can there be a knife in the back? You can't help me with this, I don't blame you, I can understand, but you don't help at all, you don't stretch out your hand, you don't try, you don't even have this idea, then I will blame you.
When there is a rift between the two, things get complicated. Yanbei's troops are thin, Zhao Shizhu used to carry it, but now he doesn't carry it, he has an emergency document a day, and asks for help every day, making it clear that he wants to shirk his responsibility, just if nothing happens, don't look for me if something happens. All kinds of local forces in Yanbei were cut off because of the flying fox, and their interests were seriously damaged, and they were all red-eyed, and they ganged up to Huairong, and thousands of brave people shouted and shouted to suppress the thieves, of course, the premise was that the Weifu army wanted to "pick the big beam" as the main force, before Zhao Shizhu was perfunctory and perfunctory, and he was appeased with good words, but now he deliberately instigated, saying that the main force of the white thieves was contained in Shanggu, and instigated the Han and the villagers to take the initiative to fight the flying fox. Before, the horse thieves and bandits outside the fortress were secretly supported by the Turks, in groups, taking turns to harass and invade the town of Huaihuangbian, and Zhao Shiju was murderous, not only sent troops to chase and suppress, but sometimes personally led the army to patrol the border, and the attitude was very tough, now Zhao Shizhu is negative, neither out of the Sai patrol, nor out of troops to suppress the thieves, let the horse thieves and bandits rage, close the door, out of sight, greatly contributed to the arrogance of the northern captives.
Yesterday, the envoy of Ashina arrived in Huairong and begged Zhao Shizhu to open and close, one is that Hu Jia wants to pass and Hui Yi wants to come and go, and the other is that the retreat has exacerbated the tense atmosphere on the border, which is not good for both the north and the south. Zhao Shizhu ignored it, and directly asked the envoy to go to Jicheng to find Duan Da, who stayed in Zhuojun, and this matter was not under his control. The Turkic envoy was very dissatisfied with Zhao Shiju's attitude, and threatened that more horse thieves and bandits would flock to Koubian in the near future, which would seriously endanger the safety of Huaihuang and the Great Wall. Zhao Shizhu was furious and immediately drove the Turkic envoy out of Huairong, which was a prelude to tearing his face.
Today, Duan Da wrote again, saying that the Holy Lord had issued an edict appointing Wu Benlang to make the Yin Shishi the deputy guard of Zhuo County. The Yin Shi Shi has both an administrative position and a military position, and he has a lot of real power, and he can even rely on his military power to stand up to Duan Da at a critical moment, which shows the Holy Lord's trust in the Yin Shi Shi. Duan Da and the Yin Shishi made a division of labor, Duan Da was responsible for the Youzhou Zhenshu and Shanggu to suppress the thieves, and the Yin Shishi was responsible for the Yanbei garrison. Now the Yin Shi Shi is rushing to Yanbei day and night, in order to prevent trouble, Duan Da solemnly warned Zhao Shizhu that the Yin Shi Shi has an important mission entrusted by the Holy Lord on this trip, and the stakes are very high, please Zhao Shizhu must closely cooperate with the Yin Shi Shi, and must not be rash and do not secretly hinder, otherwise the consequences will be serious.
Zhao Shizhu scoffed, what major mission can the Yin World Master take on when he comes to Yanbei? Duan Da's excuse was too clumsy, but the matter had come to this point, Zhao Shizhu was also happy to push it, anyway, the situation in Yanbei was critical, and he had no ability to reverse the crisis, so he simply gave the "mess" to the Yin Shishi and ended up idle.
However, the heavens do not fulfill people's wishes, and the more Zhao Shizhu "hides", the faster the accident will come.
The scouts were 100,000 in a hurry, and the rebels rushed to Sanggan to cross the river, and the battle was imminent.
