245. Military exercises to win the commander

"Now, let's discuss, who should take the position of the general of the Snow Shame Army?" Li Shimin asked.

Fang Xuanling first said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Shigui was originally a good candidate. But because Zhang Shigui treats those soldiers like this, I'm afraid he is no longer suitable to be the commander. Even, many generals in Datang are not suitable to be the commander of this shameful army. Originally, they were very grateful to Datang, but now that Zhang Shigui has actually destroyed this situation, maybe the soldiers will be suspicious of the generals of Datang. ”

Fang Xuanling is actually very correct, originally those people who returned from the Turks were very grateful to the imperial court, but now they were actually destroyed by this Zhang Shigui. In this way, in the eyes of those soldiers, it is inevitable that the generals of the Tang Dynasty may have this problem. In other words, Zhang Shigui ruined Datang's reputation, and it was difficult to restore it. The vast majority of these people were looted from the Sui Dynasty, and now they don't know much about the Tang Dynasty, so they can't know what the generals of the Tang Dynasty were. The only thing they have come into contact with is Zhang Shigui, but Zhang Shigui makes them sad, and they will inevitably be suspicious of the generals of the Tang Dynasty.

"That's a problem!" Li Shimin said.

And at this time, Liu Renliang took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, the soldiers hope that Clerk Jing will serve as the general of this shameful army!" ”

"What?" "Impossible, right?" "Can he be this general?" ……

There were doubts in the court, obviously not believing that Jingwen could be the general of this shameful army. First of all, let's not talk about whether this Jingwen can lead the troops to fight, let's just say that this Snow Shame Army was established according to a guard, and the general headed by him is at least the official position of Zheng Sanpin. And Zhengsanpin is not at all what Jingwen can touch at present. Jingwen is just a sixth-grade petty official, how can he hold such a high-level position? The third grade and the sixth grade, don't look at the difference of just three big grades, but there are still many small grades in the middle. What's more, five grades or more is a high-level position. It had to be decided by the emperor himself. But now it's a bit ridiculous to mention yì Jingwen as this general.

"Your Majesty, this is also a helpless solution. Jing Wen was the one who personally sent the Turks to the Turks at that time, and the Han people who returned to China recognized him. If he is the general, I am afraid that the soldiers will be able to be appeased, and there will be no problems again. And he can also let the soldiers improve their impression of our Datang, so that they can return to their hearts. But at present, it is whether Jingwen can be qualified to command and fight, so this is the most important. Fang Xuanling said.

However, Wei Zheng said: "The emperor, you can't directly appoint Jingwen as the commander of the Snow Shame Army. Because Jingwen also had a misunderstanding before, which caused the soldiers to mutiny. Zhang Shigui was kicked out. And if we appoint Jingwen as the commander, then I am afraid that other soldiers will see that they can expel the commander, and then elect their own imaginary commander. If this goes on for a long time, then the country will not be a country! ”

Li Shimin was immediately careful, because Jingwen was involved in the mutiny just now, if the imperial court directly appointed him as the commander in chief at this time, then I am afraid that no one in other armies would follow suit? Those middle and low-ranking officers, by co-opting the soldiers, and then mutinied together. After expelling the manager, you can also be the manager yourself. That would have a very strict consequence, and that was that the army would be in disarray. Once the army does not obey the orders of the commander-in-chief appointed by the emperor, is the world still the emperor's?

"Your Majesty. Let's not talk about whether to appoint Jingwen as the head coach, we must first test Jingwen, if he can't pass the guò test, then he can't be the coach. Soldiers. The major affairs of the country should not be rash! Wei Zheng said.

Li Shimin thought for a moment and asked, "Jingwen." Do you think you are up to the job of a general? ”

Li Shimin does have something, because at present, Jingwen is the most suitable position. Because Jingwen can make those soldiers obedient and can make those soldiers feel at ease, this is a very good coach. But Jingwen's military ability, this is also a very big problem. If you can only make the soldiers obey, you can't be a commander, but more importantly, you can bring victory. If an army is not capable of bringing victory, then what is the use of it?

"Your Majesty, maybe eighty percent of this should be able to barely be!" Jingwen said.

Li Shimin couldn't help but have a black line on his face, Jing Wen was not confident in himself, didn't Li Shimin know that Jing Wen was not qualified as a general at all?

"Your Majesty, although Jingwen can win the hearts of the soldiers, he is not qualified to be a commander, so he still can't appoint Jingwen as the commander." Zhang Shigui said first.

And Liu Renliang immediately said: "Your Majesty, the soldiers of the Snow Shame Army need to be appeased, not something that can lead the troops to fight. Therefore, please also ask the emperor to appease the hearts of the army, and the county will temporarily let Jingwen serve as the commander, and then talk about it! ”

But Zhang Shigui said: "If you can't lead the soldiers to win, I'm afraid it will hurt morale very much." Therefore, the military commander must be capable, otherwise he will not be competent. Give Jingwen three months, and if he can defeat me with soldiers, then I will recognize him as the commander. When the time comes, no one else will be able to say anything. ”

Zhang Shigui's method is actually good, because if Jingwen can lead the soldiers to defeat Zhang Shigui, a famous general, it will naturally not be a problem. But Zhang Shigui just decided that Jingwen was a courtier, and it was impossible to be powerful in a war, so he was very confident that he could defeat Jingwen, which could also humiliate Jingwen and avenge his revenge during the day today.

"Your Majesty, this method is good, the minister seconded it!" An old general said.

"Pharmacist? You ......" Li Shimin was a little surprised, he obviously didn't expect this person to agree to this.

"Your Majesty, since Jingwen can write a script of military battles like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, then he should have some ability to lead troops to fight, so the minister thinks he can give Jingwen a try!" Li Jing said.

Jingwen didn't expect that this Li Jing was actually because he was able to write the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, so he thought he had military talent and let himself try it. But Jingwen's Romance of the Three Kingdoms, they were all copied from Luo Guanzhong, and they were not their own at all!

"Okay, just do it! Three months later, each led 2,000 troops, and then went to Chang'an City for military exercises, and if Jingwen could defeat Zhang Shigui, then he could get the position of the commander of the Snow Shame Army. Emperor Li Shimin agreed. (To be continued......)
