Chapter 20: On Soldiers

"Your Majesty, Weichen is not willing to lead the army to the battle, for my Han, for the monarch out of this evil breath. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" A surprisingly calm voice broke all the discordant atmosphere in the hall.

Many courtiers raised their hands to wipe the beads of sweat from their foreheads with the gorgeous sleeves that only nobles could have, and let out a sigh of relief.

Looking at the voice, the person who spoke was the prince who was temporarily the chief of the ministers among the ministers.

According to the official position of the Great Zhou, the rank of the chief of the Great Zhou Dynasty, such as the rank of scholar, doctor, secretary, waiter, and public, the position of the chief of the great concubine is not low.

Someone came out, and Han Zhaohou looked at it directly without a doubt, but in front of him, the big man who was down-to-earth and had a good reputation, Han Zhaohou's impression was not too deep, and to put it bluntly, he didn't know much about it.

The public bowed deeply, and Han Zhaohou's gaze stared for a long time, and there was silence for a while.

For a long time, Han Zhaohou showed a smiling face and praised repeatedly, "Okay, good, good, Aiqing, hurry up and be polite." ”

"Thank you."

"Aiqing doesn't need to be polite, you can tell me, what do you think about the matter of the widow attacking Wei, and when will the troops be dispatched, will the general be served by Aiqing himself, or is there someone else." Han Zhaohou was like a stalk in his throat being spit out at once, and asked the question in one breath.

For a moment, the courtiers' eyes looked at the self-recommended and self-reliant chief, but most of them were waiting to see the show and see how he dealt with this headache.

"Your Majesty," he handed over again, Gong Zhong's extravagant voice was neither humble nor arrogant, without a trace of disorder, and he said without hurry: "The soldiers of the big country need to prepare half a year's grain and grass, the soldiers must be united, and the armor is complete, and then the soldiers on both sides must be looked at. ”

"What do you say? Three years? Under the astonished gaze, the original smile first stiffened and then disappeared in a short moment, Han Zhaohou's face suddenly turned pale, and his words revealed obvious anger, "If it is three years later, why should the widow tell you this now." The Wei State has been fighting for years, how can the widow not hear that Pang Juan has been preparing for three years. ”

"Your Majesty, Pang Juan has not been preparing for three years, so he was defeated in the hands of Qi Ren and ended up dying by himself." Full of resolute words, Gong Zhongxuan also became eager at this time.

With that increasingly cold gaze, before his voice landed, Han Zhaohou snorted coldly and said angrily: "Hmph, bold and extravagant, you said that Pang Juan is incompetent, why did our army retreat to Zhengcheng in the previous war, and how could the Wei army burn and loot on the land of our Korea." ”

The cold voice made a cold sweat break out on Gong Zhong's forehead in an instant, "Weichen Duan has no intention of offending, and he still hopes that the king will atone for his sins." ”

Looking at him who was kneeling on the ground in a hurry, all the courtiers had cold eyes except for Shen Buxian. Obviously, no one present is optimistic about the public extravagance.

"Your Majesty," in the midst of the turmoil, Shen Buxian stepped out and arched his hand: "What the chief said is not without a trace of reason, if it is to send troops to attack Qin, Qi, Chu and other first-class powers, it will definitely take three years to prepare, but at present, Wei is already at the end of the crossbow, and it seems that one year is enough for Weichen to prepare." ”

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Han Zhaohou looked at the public extravagant on the ground again without being angry, and asked sharply, "Gongzhong extravagance, what do you say?" ”

"Wechen ......" Gong Zhongxuan seemed to want to insist on saying something, but the moment his eyes met with Shen Buxian, the words that came to his lips had to be retracted, "Wechen must go all out to raise the prestige of the Korean army." ”

"Okay, such a widow will give you a year to prepare, during which all the necessary materials Aiqing can report to Shen Xiangguo, and this matter will bother the two Aiqing."

Closing his eyes slightly, Han Zhaohou held a few cases with one hand and raised his sleeves with the other, and walked out of the door with vigorous and resolute steps.

"Retreat." Behind him came the panicked voice of the eunuch.

In a short period of time, a group of courtiers who didn't want to stay any longer scattered one after another, and in a blink of an eye, only Gongzhong Hao and Xiang Guoshen were left in the court.

"Alas......"

With a light sigh, Shen Buxian turned around, and sighed as he walked: "There is only so much that the old man can help, Elder Shu, you, do it yourself!" ”

Listening to the voice of the dying and drooping old man, Gong Zhong, who was still kneeling on the ground, was like thunder, and he turned around and bowed deeply to Shen Buxian, who was about to go away: "Thank you, Lord Xiangguo." ”

……

In the imperial study, King Wei Hui's extraordinarily cordial performance made Wu Ming somewhat uncomfortable, although there were many kings who loved the people like sons in later generations, but after all, the king was like a tiger, Wu Ming didn't like the intrigue in the court, but this didn't mean that he didn't understand this.

A filter of tea slowly fell into the cup along the spout, and King Wei Hui personally pushed the water cup in front of Wu Ming, which was a flattering scene, but now it is commonplace here in Wu Ming.

"Aiqing, this tea is picked from Shudi, there are definitely not many people who can taste this tea in the following countries on this day, so try it while it's hot." With a smile, King Hui showed a kind face.

"Thank you for your love." Picking up the teacup, Wu Ming instead of drinking it, Wu Ming stood up directly, walked to King Hui and knelt down on one knee, and raised the teacup high above his head, "Weichen uses this tea instead of wine, thank you for the grace of recreation." ”

The words fell, and Wu Ming drank the tea in the cup in one gulp.

Immediately afterwards, King Wei Hui hurriedly motioned for Wu Ming to get up, "Aiqing doesn't need to be polite, please get up quickly." ”

In the final analysis, it is still a generation of kings, and there is always a bit of monarch's face.

After Wu Ming sat down again, King Wei Hui's eyes became more eager, "Don't hide it from Aiqing, the widow can be regarded as a half-born horse, but he still doesn't know much about the management of the army and the war, and I want to ask Aiqing some questions, I don't know what Aiqing wants?" ”

"What the king asks, Weichen must know everything."

After straightening his expression and sitting upright slightly, King Wei Hui put away his playful appearance and said loudly: "As far as few people know, the way to use the army, the leader should be the heart of the army, but how to recover the heart of the army, so that the soldiers have no complaints, and ask Aiqing for advice." ”

To tell the truth, Wu Ming really doesn't know much about the problem of governing the army, what kind of military heart is not the heart of the army, if a new general arrives, as a small soldier, in addition to seeing whether the general can command or not, what he looks at is how the soldiers are.

Bowing his hand slightly, Wu Ming always had a smile on his face, and said calmly: "The heart of the army is also the heart, as long as it is the heart of the people, then there are seven emotions and six desires, and there are needs. Talent can be prestige, and truth can be credible. ”

"The two warring sides are strong and I am weak, what should I do?" King Wei Hui asked again.

"Avoid its edge, make the enemy weak, or retreat to the favorable terrain while fighting to break the enemy in one fell swoop."

……

"The morale of the general is quite good, but the enemy general is brave and good at fighting, and he is full of confidence."

"Show the enemy weakness, so that the enemy will relax his guard and wait for the opportunity to move."

"Hahaha......"

When the words settled, King Wei Hui directly let out a long laugh, "The millions of troops are all in Aiqing's heart, and there is nothing else to ask for if there is such a general." ”
