Volume 2: Si Li's Lieutenant Department Chapter 19: Chen Nuo's Defense
As early as the West Gate of Heyang, when he heard that Zhu Ling and Pan Zhang were fighting because of a discord, although Chen Nuo was calm on the surface, he was really worried in his heart.
You must know that if you go to Chang'an and stay behind the generals are not in harmony, what serious consequences will happen! This is something that Chen Nuo did not dare to imagine. Zhao Xue was not there, he couldn't let her stay in the camp, and he couldn't help but go to Chang'an, and the two generals Pan and Zhu who could be considered were not in harmony, Chen Nuo had no choice but to make dangerous moves and let Dian Wei go out.
In Chen Nuo's thinking, Dian Wei can fight, while Pan and Zhu are rough people, and if they can't fight, of course, they can only admit defeat. The so-called literati are light, warriors are heavy, and the heroic spirit of the ancients is nothing more than this. According to Chen Nuo's meaning, for the sake of the stability of the rear, he can only be the Sima of the camp with Shedianwei in the camp, and control the two generals Pan and Zhu, so as to keep the rear safe.
Of course, this is only the worst-case scenario, and now, since Pan Zhang and Zhu Ling both know that they are wrong, this arrangement is unnecessary.
Chen Nuo saw that Pan Zhang and Zhu Ling were all prostrated on the ground, and both of them had the intention of repenting, Chen Nuo was very relieved. He took two steps forward, pulled up a person with one hand, glanced left and right, laughed, and said: "The ancients had clouds, kill one person in ten steps, and go to the clothes after the incident." I was born in the military, and it is common for me to disagree and draw swords against each other. But if after this battle, you can learn some real skills from the other party, and see your own shortcomings, you can also be said to be 'studious'! What advantages can you learn from each other? And what are your own shortcomings? ”
Chen Nuo's words can be said to be evasive, and he only asked about the purpose of their fight, not to mention the previous suspicions between them, he only regarded this matter as a normal contest between officers, which can be said to be intentional to exonerate the two of them. Pan Zhang and Zhu Ling were both shocked, and the shame on their faces was even worse, and their admiration for Chen Nuo increased greatly.
Pan Zhang originally had the intention of repenting here, but when he heard Chen Nuo's words, he couldn't bear to hide the truth of the matter, so he was shocked, took two steps back, and arched his hand: "General! Shamefully, this incident is not what the general imagined. In fact, Zhang and General Zhu did not fight for anything like that, nor was it as simple as an iron pot. This is a ...... Zhang is really ashamed! ”
When Pan Zhang said this, his face turned red, he glanced at Zhu Ling, and then continued, "Speaking of which, Zhang Xian was unarmed because General Zhu was defenseless and had the humiliation of being trapped outside Guangchuan City, but he was able to be above Zhang as soon as he entered the barracks, Zhang's heart was really unconvinced, so he deliberately wanted to find fault, so he took advantage of this incident, now that I think about it, Zhang really shouldn't!" ”
As soon as Chen Nuo heard what Pan Zhang said, he understood.
The so-called iron pot incident in his mouth, Chen Nuo has also learned from Dian Wei.
After Chen Nuo entered Heyang City, the two generals Pan Zhang and Zhu Ling had also commanded the soldiers to continue to camp outside the city, and because it was not early, they immediately buried the pot to make rice. It's just that Zhu Ling's department lacked an iron pot, so he sent someone to find Pan Zhang to borrow it. It's just that although there is a surplus in Pan Zhang's camp, it is used to boil water at this time, and Pan Zhang naturally has no chance of borrowing it.
And Zhu Ling, because he thought that Pan Zhang always looked like he was always ignoring him, he mistakenly thought that Pan Zhang deliberately made things difficult, and at the instigation of his subordinates, he personally went to Pan Zhang's camp to ask Pan Zhang. As for Pan Zhang, he has a feeling that he can't be trusted, resentment in his heart, and resentment on weekdays, so he deliberately said that he really had an extra iron pot in the camp, but he just didn't borrow it.
Zhu Ling, like Pan Zhang, is a fiery temper, but he is very accommodating in treating his subordinates, so that sometimes when he speaks, his subordinates don't take it seriously. Perhaps it was precisely in order to fight for this evil breath that Zhu Ling fought with Pan Zhang regardless of whether it was good or bad.
These are all superficial conflicts, and the real cause of this battle, as Pan Zhang said, these two people have too deep grievances on weekdays, but today they took the opportunity to have a full seizure.
Chen Nuo didn't speak for a while, and then looked at Zhu Ling, but his old face was purple. Thinking about it, Zhu Ling is also very innocent, and he can be shot while lying down. I was afraid that Zhu Ling would muttered in his heart, and I couldn't imagine that the reason why he Pan Zhang was arrogant and ignored him on weekdays was because he underestimated him, and he was above him as soon as he came up, so he was dissatisfied with him.
Zhu Ling was about to speak, but Chen Nuo took the lead. Chen Nuo smiled, patted Zhu Ling's shoulder, signaling him to be calm, but said to Pan Zhang: "The eldest husband is ambitious in all directions, and all he wants in his life is to make meritorious contributions, Wen Qi, it's really no wonder you have this unconvinced idea." To be honest, when I appointed you as a horse archer, you thought everyone had obeyed you? You yourself must know best, I appoint, the king will object, what? Because no one knows! Therefore, I have no choice but to let you try it with Dian Jun to convince Dian Jun and everyone else. And after this competition, who else thinks you are not suitable for the position of horse archer? ”
Pan Zhang listened silently, knowing that what Chen Nuo said was reasonable. Thinking about it carefully, although he is not as good as Dian Wei in martial arts, he has better than him in equestrianism, which is also gratifying. When he thought about this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride.
Chen Nuo paused, and then said: "Wen Jue, you said before, if Wen Bo is above your generation as soon as he comes up, you are not convinced. In fact, it's no wonder, just like Wen Jue said, when Wenbo entered my headquarters, he was trapped by Gongsun Fan's men and horses outside Guangchuan City, and suffered a big defeat, and it is normal for you to disdain him.
But Wen Jue have you thought about it, there were only 1,000 people in the Wenbo Department at that time, and they were all foot soldiers, and what he was facing was Youzhou Jingqi! More importantly, although Yao Gong, the prime minister of Qinghe, supported me on the surface to take Xiu County, he secretly collected his soldiers in order to prevent me from taking the opportunity to seize military power, so he transferred all the old and weak women and children.
I think that at that time, Wenbo brought a group of foot soldiers who had no combat power at all, facing thousands of Gongsun Fan Youzhou elite horses, and it was inevitable that he would slack off on the way back. ”
At that time, in the battle of Xiuxian, Chen Nuo took the city without a single soldier, and then because Xiuxian had no great enemies for the time being, and Yao Gong was afraid that Chen Nuo would annex Zhu Ling, so he urgently recruited Zhu Ling to return to the city. On the way, Empress Zhu encountered Gongsun Fan's Youzhou elite cavalry, suffered a miserable defeat, and retreated in the dirt mountains outside Guangchuan City. And Pan Zhang came after this and heard about it, but the messenger only said the result and the tragedy of the experience, but he categorically did not delve into the reason for Zhu Ling's fiasco. Therefore, Pan Zhangzhi already had a preconceived sense of Zhu Ling, and when Zhu Ling suddenly drove on it, it was inevitable that he would not be convinced.
Pan Zhang listened to Chen Nuo's analysis at this time, and suddenly understood, he couldn't help but be ashamed, but this matter was reckless!
As for Zhu Ling, he couldn't help but cry.
Although Zhu Ling is rough, he is really inferior to Pan Zhang. In other words, his roughness is manifested in marching and fighting, but in terms of personnel, it is inevitably a little sentimental. This can be seen from his treatment of his subordinates. His subordinates can follow him in the big battle regardless of life and death, but in daily life, they rarely respect Zhu Ling.
For the battle outside Guangchuan City, Zhu Ling was actually very entangled, and it was precisely because of the defeat in this battle that his subordinates despised him even more, and many subordinates who did not know what to do left Zhu Ling after this battle. And Zhu Ling, the prestige that he usually accumulated in the county was swept away after this war.
It is precisely because of this that even if Zhu Ling later assisted Chen Nuo to defend the city, he was still degraded to worthless in the eyes of Yuan Shao and others, and he was very unoptimistic about him by including his subordinates in Chen Nuo's camp. Although in the eyes of outsiders, this is just a horizontal transfer, and it is not a big deal. However, due to Yuan Shao's arrangement, Zhu Ling could no longer be established independently, and since then he has been subject to Chen Nuo. Even if Zhu Ling respected Chen Nuo more, there was a hurdle in his heart that he couldn't easily overcome.
Of course, in the later battles, Zhu Ling's morale rose with Chen Nuo every time he fought against him, and he no longer cared about the 'humiliation' given by Yuan Shao, and even sometimes thought that being able to follow Chen Nuo was actually far better than being alone in Qinghe without a head. I think that even if Yuan Shao was rewarded for his meritorious deeds and promoted him to the lieutenant of Qinghe County or something, if Gongsun Zhan led the troops to come, maybe he would have been killed and captured before the Battle of Jieqiao, not to mention the wealth after that, so he had more respect for Chen Nuo.
At this time, for the defeat of Guangchuan in the First War, when Pan Zhang, when everyone in the world did not understand, Chen Nuo was the only one who came out to defend him, and he was able to be incisive and nuanced, as his heartfelt words, and he was deeply touched. I don't defend Chen Nuo for him, but everyone in the world thinks I am wrong, only Chen Nuo thinks I am right, and Chen Nuo is the one who knows me! In ancient times, there was a Zhongzi period, and now there is Chen Ranzhi, what a blessing!
Zhu Ling couldn't stop crying, bowed to the ground, and had nothing to say.
Since Pan Zhang next to him listened to Chen Nuo's explanation clearly, he also deeply regretted that he was really unaware of Zhu Ling's misunderstanding, and he was not without shame. Thinking about it again, Zhu Ling's entry into Chen Nuoying's camp as Sima was a transfer at the same level, and he already had a record of success, could he not be above him? But why didn't I think that way at the time? Why don't I think about it! It turns out that those so-called jealousies are just because they have preconceived delusions, so that everything else is no longer right and wrong, and it is really reckless and stupid!
Pan Zhang scolded him so much, his head drooped, the man lifted his robe, looked at Zhu Ling with a seven-foot body and bowed his head, and said: "Zhang knows that he is wrong, and I ask General Zhu to forgive me!" ”
