Chapter 14: A Gamble (Fifth Update)
After the applause stopped, it was unexpected, it was not Meng Tian who was the first to speak, nor Wang Li, who had been with the mud, but Ruan Weng Zhong, who suddenly said in a deep voice: "I don't think I need to fight for the candidate for the third scout camp, let Zhao Jun be competent." ”
"Huh?"
Everyone was stunned again, what is the situation?
Ruan Weng Zhong's admission of defeat is expected, because Zhao Jun's previous words have pulled the general trend and people's hearts down to Meng Tian's side, if he is fighting, not only will he not get what he wants, but he will lose the majesty of the deputy marshal, just like Meng Tian compromised and admitted defeat before.
It's just that they didn't expect that Ruan Weng Zhong actually took the initiative to recommend Lu Chang Zhao Jun, from Lu Chang to a partial general, which can be regarded as a three-level promotion.
"I haven't spoken yet." Ruan Weng Zhong said again at this time, and glanced at Zhao Jun.
Sure enough, it's not that simple, Zhao Jun's heart moved, if Ruan Weng Zhong took the initiative to admit defeat and give it away today, then he would not be Ruan Weng Zhong.
I only heard Ruan Weng Zhong speak: "As long as he can lead the scout camp, kill the prince of Fu Ye, and deter the Huns who are close to my Henan, so that they dare not disturb my grain and grass, it can prove that he has the ability to lead the third scout camp, I think and only in this way can people be convinced, what does the marshal think?" ”
"Oh?"
Meng Tian was stunned for a moment, Prince Fuye was close to the frontier, and the main harassment and provocation among the Xiongnu was the main person who harassed and provoked, in fact, there was more than one prince in the Xiongnu Fuye Division, killing him could indeed deter the Xiongnu who were close to Henan for a generation, and it would not provoke a war.
But the key is that although Wang Ziman is not the established heir of Fu Ye, he is very powerful, very vicious and warlike, and under the secret permission of the Huns, he entangled the belligerent Huns of the nearby tribes, and set up a camp to go south, the purpose is to harass Henan, there are about 5,000 elite Huns, who often gather together to fight against the grain and grass people of Qin, and they are very tired.
Although the scout battalion also has 3,000 people, the difference between the strength of the other party and the other side is not too big, and it seems to be fair to the Zhao army.
But in fact, it is not, the prince is barbarian and his whereabouts are slim, come and go without a trace, it is not easy to meet him at all, these Hun soldiers are much more cunning than the average Hun soldiers, there is no restraint at ordinary times, once there is danger, they will go their separate ways, and then gather together, just like a loach in the grassland, can not catch it at all.
Meng Tian has always had a headache for this prince barbarian, because a small number of soldiers and horses can't kill him, and sending most of the men and horses is afraid that it will cause panic among the Xiongnu further north, thus provoking a full-scale war.
In the past, Meng Tian also sent scout battalions more than once to encircle and suppress, but after several times, all of them returned in vain, which almost became a heart disease of the Northern Army, and all the generals believed that this was a task that was almost impossible to complete at present.
Moreover, as we all know, the combat effectiveness of the Xiongnu is stronger than the simple infantry of the Qin army on the grassland, and it is difficult to say whether the victory or defeat is one-on-one, let alone three thousand against five thousand.
But on the contrary, Meng Tian couldn't refuse at all, if he refused, it would be equivalent to giving up this candidate, and Zhao Jun's tongue would be in vain.
Others couldn't help but secretly praise, this Ruan Weng Zhong does have a hand, to advance as a retreat, and at the same time to take Meng Tian's army, this task itself is not dangerous to Zhao Jun, and it is not harmful to him, but it can make Meng Tian know the difficulty and retreat, it is an excellent move, Ruan Weng Zhong can always guard the west gate of Daqin in Lintao, and his wrist and scheming are not simple.
Meng Tian was a little hesitant at this time, and agreed, obviously no, if he didn't agree, he was unwilling to retreat like this, and he was a little difficult to decide when he was decisive for a while.
At this time, Wang Li stood up and suddenly smiled and said: "I think Zhao Jun is still too young, but since Deputy Marshal Ruan recommended it, it is not easy for me to say anything as a junior, however, I personally think that Chenhu is also an excellent candidate, it is better to let them each bring their direct subordinate scout camp and set off together, whoever can finally bring the head of the prince barbarian to see him will be the commander of the third scout camp."
Later, I will directly leave a letter of resignation and pass it to His Majesty to explain the situation, and give them enough time to deal with Wang Ziman in the time of the establishment of the third scout battalion, which can be regarded as a major harm to our army, I don't know what the two commanders think? ”
Wang Li's words were tepid, well-founded, and almost all aspects were taken into account, and finally cleverly pointed out that the emperor is indeed a talent of the younger generation, worthy of being the grandson of Wang Qian.
When the others heard this, they all looked at Wang Li and didn't speak, they all knew the purpose of Wang Li's coming to the Northern Army, and who was standing behind him.
Meng Tian pondered and said, "I'm fine, but I think I have to respect Zhao Jun's opinion." ”
Wang Li's words, it can be said that it has greatly reduced, the danger factor of Zhao Jun to complete the task, and it also increases the possibility of completion, although it is not necessarily who will die, but the two of them will shoot together, there is hope, this is like a few people hitting fruit and going down the tree, although in the end I don't know who picked it up, but if it is not knocked down, no one can pick it up.
However, Meng Tian still looked at Zhao Jun, smiled easily, and signaled Zhao Jun not to have any psychological burden, and to follow his own ideas.
"Back to Mengshuai, the last general is no problem." Zhao Jun smiled, although he knew that Meng Tian was for his good and respected himself, but he wasted half a day of talking just to get a chance to get ahead, and now he was sent to Ruan Wengzhong's mouth, if he didn't accept it, wouldn't he be punished by God.
At this time, Ruan Weng Zhong was left without expressing his position, in fact, his goal was only to pass the Zhao army to defeat Meng Tian's army, but he didn't expect to be resolved by Wang Li.
"Okay, it's a word, with a deadline of one month." In the end, Ruan Weng Trong had no choice but to compromise.
It's just that Zhao Jun smiled again at this time: "However, I think it's a little unfair, I'm just a kid like a military camp, I don't have the advantage of being a tiger in terms of battlefield experience and facing the enemy, and he is the original commander of the scout battalion, he must be like an arm, but I'm different, so I want to ask Deputy Marshal Ruan to promise me a condition?" ”
Everyone was stunned after hearing this, and in the end, no matter which camp it was, they couldn't help but admire Zhao Jun in their hearts, not only to turn the tide, but also to fight on the basis of reason, and put forward conditions with the iron-blooded Ruan Weng Zhong, which is amazing!
"Dare to talk to me about conditions, not bad." After Ruan Weng Zhong glanced at Zhao Jun deeply, he spoke: "I'll give you a chance, what conditions, you can say it." ”
Zhao Jun smiled and said: "I heard that the general's one-legged bronze man is alone in the world, and the battlefield is a killing weapon, although the kid is quite powerful, but he doesn't know anything about battlefield weapons, and he will inevitably embarrass my northern army when he goes to the battlefield in the future, so if I kill Wang Ziman, I hope the deputy marshal can teach me a few tricks, hehe." ”
This is a blatant attempt to beg for art, and in ancient times, it was very important to pay attention to inheritance, so Zhao Jun's condition surprised everyone, Zhao Jun is bold!
At this time, Wang Li looked at Zhao Jun with a pair of cunning eyes, suddenly smiled, stood up and said: "I think this condition is very fair, Deputy Marshal Ruan, Brother Zhao Jun has strong qualifications, but he is a good seedling to inherit your martial arts." ”
As soon as Wang Li spoke, two more generals followed, the atmosphere was obviously relaxed, Zhao Jun couldn't help but glance at Wang Li, he finally understood what role Wang Li played in the army, not only neutral, I am afraid that he also has to neutralize the contradictions between the two for the emperor and the mud, he is as cunning as a fox at a young age, it is indeed not simple.
However, with this time, Wang Li has already helped himself three times, and it seems that this situation is bearable.
Meng Tian looked at Zhao Jun at this time, his face was full of appreciation, this kid really surprised himself too much, just now he was defeated by Ruan Weng Zhong's army, it was uncomfortable, this Zhao Jun will rebel against Ruan Weng Zhong's army, haha.
"What does Vice Marshal Ruan think?" At this time, Meng Tian looked at Ruan Weng Zhong with a smile.
Ruan Weng Zhong glanced at Zhao Jun again, and suddenly said, "As long as you can kill Wang Ziman, it doesn't matter if you pass on the whole thing." ”
"Okay, in order to inherit Vice Marshal Ruan's stunt, why not kill Mantou even if I, Zhao Jun, haha." Zhao Jun laughed loudly at this time, and everyone couldn't help but secretly scold Zhao Jun for being shameless, just now he was still saying that it was just a few moves, and he would say that he wanted the inheritance of Deputy Marshal Ruan, and his face was really thick enough.
However, Ruan Weng Zhong did not refute at this time, and it was regarded as acquiescing to Zhao Jun's careful thinking, what could they say.
The military discussion quickly dispersed, and when Wang left, he suddenly pulled Zhao Jun and laughed in a low voice: "Hehe, Brother Zhao Jun, I can be regarded as helping you today, you have to remember my feelings, but don't forget, I will go to you when I have time." ”
Wang Li's face was cunning, like a little fox, patted Zhao Jun's shoulder, and walked away with a smile.
Zhao Jun smiled bitterly and shook his head, sure enough, only more shameless, not the most shameless, however, Wang Li is an interesting person to make friends with.
