Chapter 135: Li Gang's stubbornness

Nowadays, the world is accustomed to dividing ministers into two factions, the peace faction and the main battle faction. Zhao Pu, on the other hand, divided the ministers into royalists and wall-top grass factions.

It doesn't matter if you're incompetent, it doesn't matter if you don't have the ability, the ability can be cultivated slowly, the ability can also be gradually improved, no one is born a famous general, and no one is born a minister, as long as you are willing to pay tuition, as long as you keep honing, sooner or later it will become gold.

As long as it is not the waste residue to the extreme, it has utilization value.

In short, Zhao Pu's principle of employing people today is: reuse the royalist faction and treat the grass faction on the wall cold.

Li Gang, Zong Ze, Zhang Suo, Wang Boyan, Fan Zongyin, and Zhao Ding are all typical royalists. As long as he is not captured, as long as there is a glimmer of hope in the court, he will not be a second minister. You can rest assured that you can hand over your back to them, and you don't have to worry about being stabbed, and you don't have to worry about being tied to Jinying when you open your eyes when you sleep one day.

At this time, the general policy has been specified, Zong Ze was appointed as the envoy of Sichuan and Shaanxi Xuanfu, handling the defense of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and handling the affairs of Sichuan and Shaanxi with full authority. And Zong Ze has conspired, although he doesn't understand military affairs, but he is better than being cautious, as long as he doesn't make fatal mistakes, he can hold Shaanxi!

And Zhang Suo was appointed to stay in Tokyo, Zhikaifeng Prefecture, and was responsible for the defense of the Gyeonggi region.

At this moment, Zhao Pu is telling Zhang Suo's general combat strategy.

"I plan to let the general defend Gyeonggi and defend Bianliang, I don't know what strategy you have to defend Bianliang!" Zhao Pu looked at Zhang Suo first and asked.

Zhang Suo was excited, did he really want him to guard Bianliang? What a glory this is, I couldn't help but say: "If I guard Bianliang, I will not let the Jin army from stepping into Bianliang for half a step, the city is in the people, and the city is dead!" ”

Zhao Pu frowned in his heart, and was very dissatisfied with this answer: "If you save people and lose land, people and land will survive, people and land will survive, and people and land will be lost." I don't want you to die, I want you to live well, live to defeat the Jin army, although Bianliang is important, but not as important as the general! ”

Zhang Suo's heart was excited, and he slowly knelt on the ground, his voice was excited, and he thanked him repeatedly.

"From luxury to simplicity, from thrift to luxury, from simplicity to failure! If Jin Jun doesn't make mistakes, we won't have a chance! ”

"The Jin army won and broke through Bianliang, but it also began to make mistakes step by step! What is a barbarian can only be the same joys and sorrows, not the same wealth. In the past, there was a great enemy of life and death, the Khitan, and it was necessary to work together to destroy the Khitan, and only when the Khitan was destroyed could the Jurchens have a way to live. Later, he went south to conquer our dynasty, but it was for wealth. Now that the Jurchens have destroyed the Khitan, and they have defeated our dynasty in a row, the military power has reached the extreme, and the prosperity has declined, and all kinds of contradictions hidden in the past will also break out one after another. ”

"Second, Jin Taizong is fifty-two years old, and few people who have lived past sixty years old as emperors have lived; If what I expected was right, this emperor of the Jin Kingdom would definitely die within ten years. If he is alive, he can suppress the contradictions of various factions, and even if there is a conflict, he will not completely tear his face, and if he dies, he will inevitably completely tear his face for the battle for the throne. That's when my chance to go to the court came! “

"Third, the Jin army was corrupted, and the Jin army won this time, and from the indemnity and plunder, they obtained a lot of beauties and money, and lived a luxurious life. Just imagine, if many generals were addicted to wine, and the soldiers lived a comfortable life, would this army still have combat effectiveness? ? ”

"Third, the two armies are fighting, the most taboo front is too long, the lone army is deep, and in the end there is a lack of food, disease, and low morale, and in the end, the Jin army may not be defeated by our dynasty, but it will be dragged down by our dynasty!"

"In the short term, our army will lose more and win less, but as long as we persist, our army will become stronger and stronger."

"I once read a book about an emperor named Napoleon, who was invincible in Europe, and dozens of countries organized coalition armies, and he was beaten to pieces. It's just that in the breakthrough of Russia, it failed. Actually, it's not a failure. When Napoleon hit the Russian capital, the Russian emperor was also ruthless, so he simply burned the capital, turned it into ruins, and retreated. At that time, it was freezing and snowy, it was difficult to transport grain and grass, and it was attacked by a small group of Russian troops, and suddenly Napoleon's army was in a desperate situation, trying to find the enemy desperately, but the enemy was scattered and could not be found at all; wanted to feed the war with war, but the result was that the walls were clear, and not a grain of grain was found; I wanted to keep warm, but I didn't have firewood. ”

"Hunger, cold, and disease, like three demons, constantly tormented Napoleon's army, and as a result, less than 100,000 of the 300,000 troops withdrew into the country. After this battle, Napoleon, his vitality was greatly damaged, and he could no longer strive for hegemony, but could only decline step by step! ”

At this time, Zhao Puzheng Zhang said a general anti-gold strategy, "At the right moment, you can give up Bianliang!" ”

"What, give up Bianliang ......" At this time, Zhang Suo immediately became angry, if it is said that it is a great honor to defend Bianliang, then giving up Bianliang is the greatest shame.

Zhao Pu didn't care about Zhang Suo's anger, but said slowly: "It's the same abandonment of the city, but there is a difference." Some abandoned the city and left, arrogant of the enemy, luring the enemy to go deeper, annihilating the enemy army, this is a famous general; Some abandoned the city and left, but they did it and cleared the wilderness, leaving not a grain of grain for the Jin army, and covering the people to leave, which is medium; Some fled in panic, lost their armies and lost their people, and even threw a large amount of grain and grass to the enemy to use to finance the enemy, which is the lowest class. ”

Then, Zhao Pu began to say again, "Here, you have three main tasks, one is disaster relief, and the other is to move people to Jinghu North Road and Jinghu South Road; The third is to contain the enemy and do everything within our means! ”

After instructing Zhang, Zhao Pu called Zong Ze again, and carefully told him to be cautious and protect Sichuan, Shaanxi and other places.

Zong Ze is an old man, the old man thinks about the problem more comprehensively, he doesn't need to worry too much, the only worry is that Zong Ze is old, and he doesn't know if his body can support it!

Shaanxi has Zongze, Henan has Zhangsuo, but Shandong is properly guarded?

It seems that it can only be Li Gang? Zhao Pu was very worried about whether Li Gang could hold Shandong.

However, there are no talents under him, and a dead horse can only be a live horse doctor, and if it doesn't work, it has to be done. And this is only the first line of defense, and the main responsibility of this line of defense lies in weakening the enemy's vital forces, slowing down the impact on Hubei, Lianghuai, Jiangnan and other places, and also building a second line of defense, which should be based on the Huai River to the Dasanguan line, mainly to supplement the first line of defense.

And when Zhao Pu appointed Li Gang as the Xuanfu envoy of Jingdong East Road, responsible for the defense of Qi, Lu, Mi, Yi, Deng, Lai, Wei, and Zihuaiyang, Li Gang refused.

"Why did Li Qing refuse?" Zhao Pu asked.

"In the past, Emperor Qinzong appointed his ministers as the envoys of Hedong Xuanfu and was responsible for the military affairs of Hedong, but the ministers lost their power and humiliated the country and returned defeated; Now if Jingdong East Road is lost, it will be difficult to redeem all the sins! Li Gang said.

"There is no general who does not defeat the battle, the strength of the Yan Lou room, I am the most jealous, there is no shame in defeating in his hands, please Li Qing do not shirk, go quickly, this battle is focused on guarding, if the conditions are right, you can lose part of the city, wait for the opportunity to annihilate the enemy, or wait for the opportunity to go south!" Zhao Pudao.

"There is a condition for the minister?"

"Nowadays, it is difficult to transport in the south of the Yangtze River, the grain and grass are limited, and we have to provide relief to the victims, so there is very little food that can be given; However, the soldiers under my command, except for the eight-character army, are at the mercy of Li Qing! Zhao Pu said. At this time, it is really necessary to have no soldiers, no generals, and a lack of food and grass, so you can't give Li Gang too much.

"The minister's condition is not this, but to ask His Majesty to kill Zhang Bangchang, the minister cannot be in the same column as Bangchang, if Your Majesty uses Bangchang, he will be dismissed from the minister's official position." Li Gang again asked for Zhang Bangchang to be killed.

Zhao Pu was immediately angry, and he had the urge to slap Li Gang a few times.

As the prime minister, what he needs most is to forbear each other for the country and give in for the country. As a prime minister and prime minister of the country, of course, you need strong political ability, but you also need to want to let and endure.

Endure what others can't!

As the prime minister, it is not that he is in power and does whatever he wants, but that he is forbearing, and he must endure those who are unhappy and those who are uncomfortable, because as the prime minister, he must always put the interests of the country first, and deal with people he doesn't like, and he will be aggrieved.

But Li Gang couldn't do it, and kept saying that he wanted to cut Zhang Bangchang, otherwise I would resign and not do it.

Doesn't he know that Zhang Bangchang has a criminal record and is destined to be treated coldly, he can only hang on to the position of Shaozai, and he is destined to be overhead and idle. There is not much difference between killing him and not killing him. Even if you want to cut Zhang Bangchang, then wait for a good time, don't do it at this juncture.

However, in order to vent his anger, he grabbed Zhang Bangchang's pigtail and insisted on cutting Zhang Bangchang.

Li Gang's temperament is not good.
