Chapter Fifty-Six: Discord
Murong Lingtun stationed in Changli City and personally presided over the training of 10,000 Han soldiers, which did not cause any backlash. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the government and the opposition, in addition to watching jokes, there are a few sympathetic people, but none of them really think that 10,000 Han soldiers can be trained to be anything.
And Murong Bao, the new county guard of Liaodong, is himself Murong Ling's younger brother and Murong Chui's fourth son. Under Murong Ling's unshakable status as the eldest son and the value of his elders, none of his younger brothers dared to challenge his authority. Murong Bao himself has been light and has no ambition since he was a child, and he likes to be greeted by others' words, so he can be said to be the representative of the gentlemen.
After Murong Ling arrived, Murong Bao not only did not feel dissatisfied with the possibility of taking power, but happily handed over all the matters, and he took his personal guards to gallop and play in the vast land of Liaodong.
Not to mention the Han generals in the four counties of Liaodong, all of whom were raised by Murong Ling. It is not inappropriate to say that the subject state of Liaodong is already a country within a country belonging to Murong Ling.
But the ridiculous thing is that just because of the fact that Han generals and Han soldiers are the mainstay, such a serious threat to the central government is regarded as a joke and ignored by the central government.
No one would believe that a Xianbei aristocrat would want and be able to rely on the Han people to overthrow and control the Xianbei people's own power.
No one would believe that a Han Chinese commoner had the same ambitions.
Although the reality of this ambition is very heavy.
"It's dangerous to desecrate the county, I'm afraid that in the next ten years, it will be difficult to recover its vitality......"
Unlike Murong Ling, who used cloth as a letter, Li Cheng could only receive rough primary paper, and Yu Ban's handwriting was not very good.
Liaodong is a vassal country, which is already remote, and coupled with the fact that you and I have appeared on the stage of various ethnic groups, the degree of population scarcity is unimaginable in the Central Plains.
In particular, the county is isolated in the northeast corner of the subject country of Liaodong, and it is even more troublesome. Therefore, the mouth of a county is less than 10,000.
And the forbidden goal is to train 10,000 elites!
Out of trust in the ban, Li Cheng did not refute this plan, but he always kicked it in his heart. Because this means that there will be fewer productive people than full-time combatants! Even in modern times, when the productive forces are highly concentrated and developed, this is an impossible ratio.
However, Yu Ban did it.
It may be cruel to say, but in troubled times, for self-made people, this may also be a way to do it:
The whole county is not so much a county seat as a large concentration camp.
All personnel are fully engaged in basic production according to their strengths. Among them, grain production is the heaviest; followed by armor, utensils and other practical handicraft products; Again, it is a small amount of necessities for life, such as clothes, shoes and hats.
There are no merchants, no prosperity, just the silent and continuous labor of the worker bees, and the proportion of the product turned over to eighty percent.
On the premise of ensuring the minimum subsistence needs of the county citizens, all the production potential was squeezed out at all to support the frequent plundering and the plundered surplus population.
In the letter, Yu Ban expressed great regret that due to the instability of the army's morale, large-scale transformation of soldiers is not realistic. They can only be led in rotation to exercise and familiarize themselves with the battlefield in batches. And those who stay behind can only be put into production, and they cannot achieve the professionalism of soldiers.
On the one hand, all the soldiers who went out to fight were restrained by strict laws in battle and training; On the one hand, they connived at looting after the war, and as long as there were resistors, they could all be killed and robbed.
Li Cheng could see that Yu Ban was anxious.
The situation in the north is changing, and Beiyan has suddenly lost the national pillar, even Murong Ling, a proud son of the royal family, is still afraid of tomorrow, these little people who only have a county, can they hold on to a few waves under the general trend, and not be drowned silently?
It's just that Yu Ban's training and mastering skills like this on the tightrope are really dangerous. Looking at the Three Kingdoms, I'm afraid that there are few people who can have such confidence and means as Yu Ban.
"Childe, since all the dangerous things have been paid to the rules, there is no need to care about anything else. However, Murong Ling ordered the generals of the counties in Liaodong to go to Changli to meet him, but Wen Ze couldn't shirk it, would it ......?"
Xiahou Ba hurriedly finished reading the letter handed over by Li Cheng, but what he was worried about was another thing.
Li Cheng shook his head lightly: "Wen is asking Murong Ling to forgive him for his unfortunate sins on the grounds that he doesn't want to see me." In my opinion, Murong Ling would be happy when he saw this news. With the Han to control the Han, each envoy is scattered and difficult to be concentric, and only one heart is a slave...... Zhongquan, you have not seen the methods of a certain Hu regime that was touted as a prosperous dynasty in later generations. It's just that Murong Ling hasn't been able to catch up with the peak of the slave control technique, it's just a simple inner feeling, so he can use the Han people more handy. ”
At this time, Li Rui's voice came from outside the door: "Son, Murong Ling's personal soldiers have arrived." ”
"Here it is."
Li Cheng got up and packed up the letter and handed it to Xiahouba. And Xiahou Ba will choose a hidden place and completely destroy what should not be discovered.
Pushing the door out, I saw Li Rui bowing slightly and saying something with a little flattery, as if he was complimenting the Xianbei soldier, but it didn't seem too flattering. It can be seen that the pro-soldier also looks very useful.
Li Rui, a young man, has hard work and talent, and dealing with chores can also make Li Cheng very happy. It's just a rebel who needs a long time of observation to be trusted. Therefore, Li Cheng is often taken by the left and right, which can not only give full play to his ability, but also make him feel a certain degree of closeness.
With the leadership of Xianbei's own soldiers, he came to the meeting hall of Changli Mansion, Li Cheng glanced at it slightly, except for Yu Ban who did not come, he was the last to arrive.
And Murong Ling, who had been sitting majestically on the main seat, suddenly got up with a smile when he saw Li Cheng coming in, and said to everyone: "Our Fubian general is finally here, but let's wait." But speaking of which, the fact that you can meet in Changli City today is also the credit of General Fubian, and it will be nothing later. ”
Murong Ling said it softly and skillfully, as if he was joking, but Li Cheng instantly broke out in a cold sweat when he heard it.
Don't say that Murong Ling's status is noble, it is the pro-soldier just now, who has no rank and no rank, and he is a Han Fubian general, in his eyes, he is no different from an ant.
Now Murong Ling's words and actions, but I don't know what they mean? There must be a demon when things go wrong, and you need to be cautious.
While Li Cheng bowed down to make an excuse, his eyes swept again, and he found that all the generals had impatience on their faces, and they thought that they should have waited for a long time.
In fact, as soon as he received the order, he immediately came with his own soldiers, but he was quite late for a long time.
There are only two possibilities, one is that the pro-soldier was deliberately negligent; But this obviously doesn't make sense, as a general's own soldiers, completing the task is the first priority, and there is no reason to let your own general wait for a little slackness.
And the second possibility is that Murong Ling instructed him privately!
Justifying in front of the planners is tantamount to asking for your own death.
While Li Cheng bowed, these thoughts flashed in his mind, and then he bowed lower, and said with trepidation: "The last tense is just in a hurry, and I have no choice but to let the general wait for a while, I don't want to let the general wait, and the last general is willing to admit punishment by military law!" ”
Murong Ling looked around with a smile on his face and said: "People have three urgency, and it is also a helpless thing, not to mention that it is not wartime, and there is no need to say anything about military law." But ......"
Li Cheng gritted his teeth and bent his back again.
Murong Ling looked at Li Cheng's respectful and frightened appearance, and nodded slightly: "But today, this is the first time that this general has summoned the generals of the counties of Liaodong, after all, some decency and rules are needed, can General Li understand?" ”
The title changed from "General Fubian" to "General Li", which set the tone, and Li Cheng naturally had to agree:
"The general's theory, public and private, the end of the general bows. If there is a punishment, please ask the general to show it, and the general will never object! ”
"Well, so be it."
Behind Murong Ling's hand, he took a few steps back and forth, and suddenly said: "This time, the general will recruit you and others to discuss together, just to establish a combatable Han army directly under the general." At the beginning of the year, General Li performed particularly prominently in the first battle of Goguryeo, and the training and use of troops were very orderly. ”
Li Cheng's back stiffened, he knew that Murong Ling was not really asking for his opinion. But this time, he's going to play dumb again, no matter what. Because of being by Murong Ling's side, he really had a sense of uneasiness.
"The general raises love, and the last general shouldn't say much. However, it has been less than a year since the end of the year to Fuli City, and his talent is dull, and the operation of the county seat is still jerky, I am afraid that it will ......"
"I'm afraid of what?"
Murong Ling asked indifferently.
The cold sweat on Li Cheng's back had already soaked his clothes.
Murong Ling sat down quietly, rummaged through the table for a moment, and moved a document to his eyes: "Since General Li took office in Fuli County, he has been diligent in his official duties every day and has never slackened. Punish the evil and promote the good, be fair and sympathetic to the people, and the people's comments are very good, so why be so humble. ”
"As for the affairs of Fuli County, I would have thought that Xiahou Ba, the tooth general under General Li, was still worthy of appointment, so it was better for him to take care of it for the time being."
Under Li Cheng's lowered head, his eyes suddenly shot a sharp gaze!
At the beginning, he used the method of each town and one county to try to separate himself from Yu Ban; Now that you plan to do it again on Xiahouba, do you want to repeat the old tricks?
Let the two generals who leaned on their arms when they were in the dock fort with themselves, and they all had a gap with themselves. In this way, the three of them have become "lonely ministers" who must rely on him in order to better control the three of them...... Murong Ling, what a calculation!
If it were another character, perhaps under the face or ambition, the small group would really fall apart.
But for yourself...... Murong Ling, want to separate me from the heroes of the Three Kingdoms under your command?
Li Cheng sneered inwardly.
However, it seems that Guan Ping's existence needs some cover-up.
