Chapter 341: Pacifying the Five Generals
Wang Shichong said with a smile: "I won't let everyone suffer, there is no suspense about winning the battle of Ningzhou this time, but for that credit, you fight for me, and complain about the king of Shu, so that if you catch him and sue us, it will be more than worth the loss." You may not know that there are gold mines in Ningzhou, and those barbarians have been attacking and killing each other in order to compete for gold, and they have also used gold to bribe Liang Bi, who was the assassin of Xining Prefecture at the time and is now the secretary of Dali.
After our army wins, there will be a lot of gold, and Marshal Shi will not hand over this gold to the treasury at that time, if he divides the gold privately, he will fall into the handle, and he may sue the King of Shu at that time, then let's not talk about meritorious promotion, that is, even the current position may not be able to be kept, at least the future will be affected. ”
Everyone didn't expect this kind of meaning, they were all dumbfounded all of a sudden, silent, and after a long time, Feng Xiaoci sighed: "Damn, why do you have to touch this kind of dogskin every time you fight, it's really fucking annoying." ”
Wang Shichong also sighed: "Xiaoci, if we are all just small soldiers, we only need to listen to the orders of the commander, beat the drum and advance, and retreat when we hear the gold, and the heads and prisoners are counted as military merits, simple and direct, it will save trouble, but now that I have reached this position, I can't go back to being a small soldier."
This southern expedition to Ningzhou, the emperor did not let the king of Shu be the generalissimo, but sent another Marshal Shi over, in fact, from the beginning it was decided that we, the middle-level generals, had to be caught in the middle as a gas bag, at that time I didn't expect the matter to be so serious, and you were involved, everyone really wants to blame, just blame me, I Wang Shichong made amends to you. ”
Wang Shichong said. Stand up. He made a solemn gesture to everyone. By the way, when I bent over, I squeezed my eyes vigorously and made some tears come out.
Feng Xiaoci slapped his thigh violently and said: "General Wang, how can I blame you for this, our brothers all know that you are well-intentioned and want to support us, who would have thought that this would be the result after coming here, my old Feng only listens to you, I will do whatever you ask me to do." If you keep the grain road, you will keep the grain road. ”
Mai Tiezhu also stood up, and smiled: "It's good to guard the grain road, at least you don't have to worry about starving to death, if they want to fight, let them fight, my old Mai can go back to his hometown and hug his wife safely." ”
Duan Da and Sima Dekan glanced at each other, and they both stood up, Duan Da hugged his fist at Wang Shichong: "Xingman, I gave my life to your brother a long time ago, we will do whatever you say, we all know that you are for our good." ”
Liu Quan shook his head. He also stood up and said to Wang Shichong: "General Wang." We came to give you our lives, we will do whatever you say, there will be no objections, but you leave the five of us behind to guard the grain road, is this intention to stay out of the matter is not too obvious, will it not please both ends, in the end, no matter which party is not satisfied, will we be used as a punching bag? ”
Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "They rob their merit and their money, if we don't mix, who will we offend?" I spoke to Marshal Shi just now, and he didn't have any opinions, this time I still followed Marshal Shi along the way, giving him advice, and when Marshal Shi felt that he didn't need me, I would find an opportunity to stay and watch the grain road, and then I would rely on your full support. ”
Liu Quan nodded: "Then the hard work is full of you, is the marching route still according to the original?" ”
Wang Shichong's eyes flashed green, and he took out the map brought out from Daxing from under the marching bed on the side, and spread it on the small case in the tent, and the five people invariably surrounded him, only to hear Wang Shichong say in a low voice: "Or according to the previous military discussion, the army will start tomorrow, out of the Dragonfly River, through the alley, through the small Bo Lane, the big Bo Lane, into Nanning Prefecture." The march on this road had to walk in the primeval forest for about a month, led by our Guanzhong army, and smashed on the spot when encountering the resistance of the barbarians, opening the passage for the rear army.
Along the way, our army should make a big show and preach the king's transformation, and the greater the momentum, the better, so as to deter the barbarians and let them concentrate their troops to fight a decisive battle with our army, so that they can accomplish their work in one battle. ”
Everyone's faces invariably showed joy, and Duan Da smiled: "If this kind of fighting method can defeat the main force of the barbarians in one battle, then there is no need to guard any grain routes, and the rebellion will be quelled directly." ”
Wang Shichong shook his head: "Not so optimistic, this time is different from the last time Lingnan counterinsurgency, last time we had Mrs. Xian and other barbarians to help, in Panyu City in the next battle to kill the rebel leader Wang Zhongxuan, plus the previously eliminated Chen Fozhi, Zhou Shiju the three main rebel tribes, the rest of the thing is to let those surrendered barbarians to exterminate the remnants of the three rebellious barbarian forces, it can be said that it is a battle."
But the situation in Ningzhou is completely different from Lingnan, the clan has been operating here for nearly four hundred years, longer than the time of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, no matter how big or small the tribes here are almost all branches of the clan, if you want to defeat the clan like last time and drive other tribes to exterminate the clan, it is basically impossible, the most likely thing is that after smashing the coalition army of the various departments put together by the plan, these barbarians have also scattered, just like Meng Shu back then, either flee back to the mountain to defend to the death, or go around to find help, When the time comes, it will be a lot of headaches.
So I think after we won the decisive battle with the planner, everyone will stay separately to guard the grain road, and I will also find a chance to break away from Marshal Shi and Wan Zhiguang, Marshal Shi used his troops ruthlessly, when Pingjiangnan took 2,000 people to fight thousands of miles and captured the enemy's lair, he achieved his legend of a famous general. ”
Liu Quan and the other five people all showed a look of admiration on their faces: "General Wang, you are really strategic, too powerful." ”
"That is, we have long known the ability of the general of the Dao King, so we will follow you like this, and I heard you say this, and there are enough military merits to win the decisive battle. As for the pursuit battle, leave it to Shi Dashuai. ”
"Lao Mai, you can run the most, or this time you bring some fast runners, and when the time comes, you will directly stare at the planing and chase after you win, and it will save Shi Dashuai to play another thousand-mile chase."
"Hehe, if it's on flat ground, I can catch ten swords, but when I get to the deep mountains and dense forests, Lao Mai is not familiar with the terrain, and when his eyes are dark, he can't catch up, and if he can't get it, he will take his life into it, this kind of difficult task is still handed over to Marshal Shi, Lao Mai knows that it is not this material."
Everyone laughed and chatted with each other for a while, and the dull and depressing atmosphere in the tent became much more soothing, Wang Shichong stood up and said: "It's not early, everyone go back to the camp to rest first, and the two armies will meet early tomorrow morning, mix, and then swear to go on the expedition." ”
Everyone said goodbye, Wang Shichong returned to the small case, staring at the map, especially looking at the area of Zhishaowei County (now Qujing fifteen miles and three forks) in Queensland, where the terrain is gentle, there is a grassland with a radius of dozens of miles, and it is also one of the few southwest horses in Nanning Prefecture (the kind of pack horse used in the last expedition to Lingnan is the southwest horse produced in Nanning Prefecture, short in stature, but good endurance, can be used as a pack horse) origin, in this old nest of the West, there must be a decisive battle.
When Wang Shichong was thinking about it, Zhang Jincheng's voice suddenly sounded outside the tent: "General Wang, Marshal Shi has something important to do, please go and discuss it quickly." ”
Wang Shichong was slightly stunned, it was already late at night, how could there be anything important? But since Shi Wansui summoned himself, he naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly put away the map, walked out of the tent and walked towards Shi Wansui's handsome tent, and when he entered the tent, he found that Shi Wansui was undressed, holding an oil lamp, and was looking at a map on the case attentively, and beside him, there was a majestic martial artist dressed as a general.
Wang Shichong thought to himself, it must be Shi Wansui who has some new tactics, and he wants to invite himself over to discuss it, but the strange thing is that Yang Wutong, who usually discusses things together, is not here at this time.
Wang Shichong stepped forward and was about to salute, but his eyes inadvertently swept over the map, and suddenly found that it was not the map of Ningzhou, but the map of Lingnan that he was very familiar with, and his face changed slightly. (To be continued......)
