Chapter 36: Chen Hong's Messenger
Han Sufa put away the defense map, picked up the wine glass, and ordered the captured spies to be escorted to the tent by the halberd Lang Zhong outside the big tent, and then drank the wine slowly. Lu Jiajun's first rule is that alcohol is not allowed in the army, but apparently Han Sufa did not do it, and his subordinates did not do it. In Han Sufa's department, drunken troubles and fights are endlessly occurring at the grassroots level, and generals often drink and physically punish soldiers and beat sergeants.
However, this is a reckless gang rabble, no wine is not a feast, it has always been a big bowl of wine, a large piece of meat, and a large scale of gold and silver, Han Sufa thinks that drinking wine is more conducive to the improvement of combat effectiveness, which is really a strange theory.
About a stick of incense passed, several halberders escorted one of them into the big tent, Han Sufa took a sip of wine and looked at the man with a smile and asked: "What a bold man dares to come to visit my camp, good, good, standing without kneeling, he is still a man, but his skills are almost caught." ”
"Do you have the courage to talk to me alone?" The man asked with a smile.
Han Sufa looked through the light in the big tent, and saw that the man was wearing a robe that didn't look like a spy at all, maybe he deliberately disguised himself like this, so as to take the opportunity to get by. But the most likely thing is that he is not a spy at all, and his sentry patrol soldiers did not listen to his explanation, and deliberately arrested him as a spy, so they took credit for it.
This kind of thing often happened under Han Sufa, and in the early days, there was a matter of killing the people as an invitation to the imperial court's soldiers and horses, but with Han Sufa's slow discovery, and made the right way to deal with it, this kind of thing was eliminated after killing a hundred people and punishing them severely, so now Han Sufa's department rarely harms the people. Of course, for the current situation of fraudulent claims and fraud. Han Sufa has been repeatedly banned, and he doesn't bother to care, in his opinion, if the soldiers under him don't have a trace of ferocity. Without a trace of cunning, he is not a good soldier, and it is not conducive to his co-optation of his subordinate soldiers.
In Han Sufa's opinion, it is not a good thing to live too clearly, so he turned a blind eye and let it go, and even rewarded these false reports to win over his own faction and buy new people, so that his subordinates would be loyal to him. This has further encouraged the spread of this atmosphere of deception among the military.
Han Sufa hesitated slightly, couldn't figure out where the person came from, and after pondering for a while, he estimated that this person's martial arts should be sparse. Even a helpless person, so he let the left and right retreat and interrogate this person alone.
After retreating left and right, Han Sufa asked, "Who are you?" ”
"It turns out that the famous General Han's subordinates are nothing more than that. I said I was the Messenger long ago. They actually arrested me as a spy and invited me to take credit, if it weren't for General Han's whim wanting to see me, I'm afraid that I would be the soul of the knife, right? The man said with a smile.
Han Sufa frowned slightly and muttered, "Messenger? Whose messenger? ”
The man was not in a hurry, picked up the wine from Han Sufa and drank it all, then hugged his fists and said: "I have seen General Han in Wu Shubao, I am from the Yuhang garrison." ”
"Oh? Does the Yuhang garrison want to negotiate peace with me, or do they surrender to us? Han Sufa looked at the man elegantly and said.
Wu Shubao said: "Naturally not, we are soldiers of the imperial court." Eating is the food of the imperial court, how can you return to the rebels and thieves! ”
"So you're not here to count me down. Those who deliberately sent death came to persuade me to surrender? Hahahaha, you don't look at the shape shì, now the imperial court soldiers and horses are gathered on the Shandong front and can't get out, the north and the south can't respond, Nanjing has troops that are difficult to adjust, the southwest war is chaotic and the northwest is in crisis, my side is in the army, and your side is a few troops with extremely weak combat effectiveness, I am outnumbered, let me surrender, are you not sick? Those who follow the prosperity and those who rebel die, and those who know the times are the heroes, see if you have some guts, do you want me to give you a small flag to do? You can only be a small flag, although you are bold enough to urinate, but after all, it is not easy to use in the brain, what do you think? Han Sufa sneered at Wu Shubao and said.
Wu Shubao said with a smile: "No wonder General Han's subordinates are like this, it turns out that General Han is also a person who jumps conclusions without listening to what he says." General Han don't want to be angry, he just said it straighter, but in the next words it was more straightforward, as long as he finished speaking, if he wanted to kill him, he would kill General Han. ”
"I won't let you finish it now, I will kill you with a knife, do you think it's okay?" Han Sufa smiled and said with a smile, his hand touched the handle of the waist knife, and the murderous intent in his eyes was fully revealed, but in a flash, Han Sufa said again: "Anyway, I'm also idle and bored, let's see what kind of talk you have, and you have such confidence to be able to persuade me, so the ghost is so obsessed with the general Ben will listen to your nonsense right as a joke, and it will not be too late to kill you after you finish speaking." ”
"Thank you, General Han." Wu Shubao hugged his fists and said: "I just said that I came from the Yuhang garrison, but I didn't say that I was sent by them, and I came here to discuss with General Han by the factory Gongchen Lord Chen." ”
"Master Chen? Could it be Chen Hong, the eunuch leader of the East Factory? Han Su said.
"Exactly." Wu Shubao said: "General Han said that he is a person who does not know the times, and today he said a lot of arrogant, presumptuous and rude words, and today he will dare to say one more word, anyway, there are more lice and he is not afraid of itching." In fact, General Han is a person who does not know the current affairs clearly, General Han does not need to be in a hurry to ask why, now I will come one by one, and the general will listen patiently to the analysis. First of all, if the news is correct, General Han should have listened to the Lu family back then, right? Do you think the Lu family will raise tigers to make you stiffen your wings again and not listen to the call? Naturally not, maybe when General Han thinks that he has succeeded, or when this special period passes, or when the Lu family sits firmly in the world, you will be eliminated. ”
Han Sufa was silent and looked at Wu Shubao coldly, Wu Shubao continued: "Of course, there are two people who are still reused by Lu Bing after the mutiny, one is Wei He, who is in charge of the intelligence work of Shuntian Mansion, and the other is Lu Bing's sworn brother Meng Lin. Okay, let's talk about these two people, who is Wei He, who was born and died with Lu Bing at the beginning of Lu Bing's development, he was a courtier of the Ming Dynasty at the time, and there was nothing wrong with serving the saint at first. At that time, Lu Bing was also an official of the imperial court. In the future, what happened to Lu Bing was not Wei He's fault, to say something disrespectful, it was the saint who belittled Lu Bing. It is the saint who has negative Lu Bing. And that time was also a very prominent moment for Lu Bing, not a stone. Lu Bing understands these difficulties, and people in officialdom sometimes have a desire for profit and can't help themselves. Therefore, with the previous relationship, he will reuse Wei He, and not many people know that Wei He has become a traitor, and promoting him will not have any bad impact. ”
"But what about you? General Han, you didn't listen to the announcement at that time, and who did you serve for whom did you have any trouble? You chose to turn your back on Lu Bing at the moment when he needed it most, is it just a mending behavior of falling into the well? And you've made a lot of trouble in the city, I'm afraid it's not just one or two of Lu Bing's intimate people who know it. Just think about it. If it really has a greater importance for you in the future, how can you be right for those who are loyal to the traitor Lu Bing? Wu Shubao said.
Wu Shubao said again: "Besides, Meng Lin, after all, he is a righteous brother with his head on the ground. Now Lu Bing's second brother is already the Khan of Xiliang and the person who reigns over the world, but his eldest brother actually served under Xu Yang. His sworn brother is still like this. What's more, it's you? ”
Han Sufa stopped talking. A trace of cold sweat flowed down his head, which was exactly what he was worried about, but he didn't use these two examples as a reference, and at this time, the white sweat that was cold on his back got up.
Indeed, compared to Meng Lin and Wei He, Han Sufa is not as good as their relationship with Lu Bing, he is just a pawn of Lu Bing who entered the Taihu Lake Water Village in the past, and it is also his own hard work and God's favor, and he climbed to today's position by luck. Lu Bing is like this to them. What about yourself? Will you be able to reuse yourself, or even spare yourself? He and Lu Bing only have a friendship with their superiors and subordinates. Lu Bing's promotion to this position is completely out of interest, and he doesn't have any deep feelings, and he is no different from those little minions.
Han Sufa thought that the fact that he can hold power now is all due to coincidence and his own efforts, and his important position today may not be something that Lu Bing even expected. If there was no war, if there were no later events, he might still be the leader of Taihu Lake Village, or even the leader of Taihu Village, and he would have been replaced by someone else who could be trusted, or someone more capable. If Lu Bing had known his current status and could have predicted that he would still reuse himself, I am afraid that he would have chosen someone else a long time ago, right?
Speaking of his own ability, Han Sufa also understands that his few catties and taels may not be able to enter Lu Bing's eyes, and he can replace them by finding a few people, as for appeasing his subordinates or something, the Lu family also has this ability. No matter what time he is, he can't enter the power core circle of the Lu family at all, and Lu Bing will never leave a person who has betrayed him in such an important position, but he is afraid that when this war ends or his use value is over, it will be his own death. If Lu Bing was merciful, maybe he would give himself a good time.
—————————————————————————————————————
"Look, I'm right," Wu Shubao laughed, and his voice pulled Han Sufa back from his thoughts: "Look at the meaning, General Han himself understands." General Han, you are a smart person, and looking at your expression, I know that you know in your heart what I said, but you deliberately deceived yourself and didn't want to admit it. Okay, after talking about your betrayal and the possible consequences of continuing to follow Lu Bing, I will talk about another ending with very little hope. General Han, are you still asking me to say it? ”
"Go on." Han Sufa said with an ugly face, he didn't like this flamboyant lobbyist very much, and he couldn't wait to kill him now, but no matter whether these remarks were made by Wu Shubao himself or conveyed by others through Wu Shubao's mouth, he could help Han Sufa see what might happen in the future and sort out the intricate thoughts that Han Sufa pressed in his heart.
Wu Shubao said: "Let's assume that even if you follow Lu Bing and hold the military power all the time, you will not be reused. First of all, be honest and tell you that your ability is limited, and even a shrewd lord will not let you control too much military power, otherwise it will be a waste of military funds and troops, and useless work. How many soldiers are killed, and the more they bring, the worse the defeat will be, and it will also affect the overall situation to form a trend of mourning soldiers. Lu Bing is very smart, he will only give money and assistance, and will never let you control the main force, and once your army waits for Lu Bing or the imperial court to free up his hand, who of you can't stop it, the combat effectiveness of your subordinate troops is a little, so you don't need to explain it down. Okay, even if you stay here until Lu Bingmian turns south and north to become the Ninth Five-Year Venerable, and you can be regarded as making great contributions, but what can you get? ”
"The worst thing has to be a marquis or something, right?" Han Sufa asked a little weakly.
Wu Shubao shook his head and said: "The beauty you think of, which dynasty is based on some national policies of the previous dynasty, and a little improvement will not hurt the foundation policy." Based on the ancestral rules of the Ming Dynasty today, if Lu Bing ascends the throne and sits in the palace, it is impossible to be crowned king with a different surname first, even if there is, it will not be your turn, take 10,000 steps back and say Even if the marquis, do you think you can take your turn? Don't rush to answer me yet, I'll take your thoughts out for you. First of all, according to the etiquette or according to the conventions of all dynasties, it is said that the founding monarch has the most sub-titles, so how many are there? This is not to be studied deeply, anyway, Lu Bing is not a person who follows the rules. So let's talk about how many people may be sealed, there are many kings, and Lu Bing's son must have at least one king per person, right? The heirs of the Lu family are still quite prosperous, so they will not be crowned kings again, otherwise the Lu family will be scattered, and how many kings will there be in the grandchildren? If there is an emperor who can give birth in the future, wouldn't the so-called feudal and king have to account for too much state expenditure and power, this has become the situation of the Han Dynasty, Lu Bing is familiar with history and will never let such a situation happen, and the king is likely to seal these sons of his own. Down are Duan Qingfeng, Ji Lianhong, Xu Yang, Qi Shuhai, Meng Lin, oh, by the way, there are also the newcomers Ren Tianxiang and Cui Ling, in short, these people are much closer to Lu Bing than you. Now that the war has just begun, the battle for the world, not to mention four or five years, is even a few decades possible, will there be some people who have made great contributions in the future? You, General Han, do you think you can compare to them? lined up, and you General Han disappeared. (To be continued......)
