Chapter 5: The Nameless (Part 3)

Recently, the anger in the stomach of the German side has been very strong. As a strategist, he can't directly accuse his lord Li Xu of making a mistake. However, Zhao Ziming and Zhou Daniu, who made Li Xu make the decision to go north to Zhuo County, refused to assault the wolf and rode outside the Great Wall instead of retreating, and waited for the opportunity to plot to sweep the Central Plains. Especially for the military Sima Zhao Ziming, the German side has always felt that with the wisdom of the other party, it should be able to see that as long as the Boling army abandons the Tuntian point on both sides of the Sanggan River and retreats to the south of Baihua Mountain, the Turks may not really drive straight in.

Those who compete for world dominance need to be able to take it and put it down. The decision of a strong man to break his wrist should not hesitate to be made. What's more, the Boling Army's investment in both sides of the Sanggan River is not large. Even if all those temporary structures and tuntian points and displaced people are given to others, it will not make Boling break his muscles and bones.

And the one who is a counselor should have the courage to be the wicked man who bears the infamy when his lord is soft-hearted. Instead of following the lord to show the kindness of a woman. In this regard, the German side is confident enough to believe that it is better than Zhao Ziming. Although Zhao Sima is rich in experience, he lacks a kind of determination to kill the wicked in his bones.

But on the night when Li Xu made the decision, the German side did not have the opportunity to participate. And Zhao Ziming, the military Sima who participated in the decision-making, led Li Xu "astray". Therefore, in the eyes of Shi Defang, Zhao Ziming, whom he has always respected, has become a traitor, fortunately.

Within the Boling Army, Shi Germany was not the only one who held this view. In particular, some civilian staff members who joined the army late, the reason why they mixed into the army was largely because they believed that the fulfillment of the 'Tao Li Zhang' was Li Xu. Seeing that the dragon power that may be in hand has come to naught, how can everyone not feel aggrieved in their hearts?

The resentment in the stomach has accumulated too much, so it is natural to find a place to vent. In addition, many "seemingly absurd" decrees recently came from Zhao Ziming, the military commander, so he naturally became the target of everyone's attacks.

Li Xuping has also heard of the small actions of some civil and military officials under his command. He tried his best to send people to guide and explain, so as not to let these grievances affect the daily operation of the Boling army. But today, the German side openly insinuated that Zhao Ziming was an internal ghost in front of himself and many soldiers, but it exceeded the bottom limit of his tolerance.

"Enough, Germany, speak in a measured manner!" slapped the table hard, and Li Xu scolded with a calm face. It wasn't too loud, but it surprised everyone.

In everyone's memory, Xuzi, as the lord, rarely speaks with a straight face. Even if he occasionally heard a piece of advice that he could not accept, he would discuss it with the person who gave it a pleasant smile. But this time, he was clearly genuinely angry. In an almost threatening tone, he continued to reprimand with a calm face: "I don't like to see someone put all their minds on internal friction. If you have that energy, you might as well think about how to fight, so as to ensure that you can stop the Turkic wolf rider near the Outer Great Wall. If you feel that there is no future for following Li, I will not force anyone. The world's heroes rise together, and the place that can provide everyone with a chance to show their lives is not only Li! ”

This was a bit heavy, and Shi Defang was suffocated and bruised. "The subordinates are just", he took a few steps back, bowed down to apologize, and then whispered to justify his actions just now, "The subordinates just feel that Zhao Sima's idea for the lord is very problematic,." At least, at least not the best option! ”

"In your opinion, what is the best choice?" Li Xu knew that if he didn't give Shi Defang a chance to express, he would never be convinced, so he slowed down his tone of speech a little and asked.

He hoped that this would be the last public discussion of the decisions that had been taken. If before the arrival of spring, the opinions within the Boling Army cannot be unified. He will have to do something to expel those who might be dragging down the army.

No one else has been to the fortress, and it is not clear what the foreign people are doing against the vanquished. And he has been there, and since then he has not been able to forget the madness of the people sacrificing blood to the sky.

"Give up the Outer Great Wall and Zhuojun. and the Tuntian Point that we have just started to build on both sides of the Sanggan River. Withdraw all the people and soldiers to the south of Neibaihua Mountain, and the loss will not be too great! Knowing that it was a little late to say these words, the German side still insisted.

Zhuojun has two Great Walls, inside and outside, which is the best strategic buffer. Once the Turks have breached the Outer Wall, there will be more options for their next target. The risks faced by the Boling army will be greatly dispersed. As for who the Turks will fight next, the German side felt that there was no need to care. He is Li Xu's Zuo Sima, and he has only the obligation to be responsible for Li Xu alone.

"Then the Turks will spare the other five counties?" Li Xu was very disappointed with the stubbornness of the German side and asked coldly.

"No, but they won't blindly chase us!" Shi Defang stalked the neck of the stalk and insisted. "They may go to Youzhou or Hedong. When the time comes, we don't need to beg for help, the princes of all parties will have to act together. No one owes anyone a favor. The same thing happened at the beginning of the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, when the Turks gave up halfway. Although they were well prepared this time, the Khan had been in poor health!."

This sounds reasonable at first glance, and at the time of the alternation of Zhou and Sui, it was not uncommon for a similar Hu to move south. On that occasion, after the Turkic wolves plundered Honghua, Yanmen, Zhuojun, Anle and other border places, their appetite was already fed with the looted goods, and they lost the motivation to further invade the south. This time, although the Turks mobilized almost all the forces they could, the body of the Shibi Khan may not be able to hold on. Once Shi must die of illness on the way, the other brothers of the Ashina family will definitely make a mess.

The Central Plains did not need the Boling Army to defend it at the expense of itself. In the dark, God favors the Central Plains. The person who caused this crisis was Li Yuan, not Li Xu. There is no need for Bolingjun to ruin his future for the mistakes of others. It is the best choice to hide south of the Inner Great Wall to recuperate and make up for the trauma of the battle with Luo Yi. After the threat of the Turks dissipated, Li Yuan, Li Mi, Wang Shichong and others were almost exhausted by each other. Bolingjun found an appropriate time to play the banner of "King Qin", and the world may not be owned by his own family.

It's just that Li Xu didn't dare to entrust the future of the entire Central Plains to God in the dark. "What if Shibi Khan refuses to die of illness on the way, as you say? What if the wolf rider refuses to take a detour and continues south to Boling? What if the others can't stop the wolf ride, or have the same idea as Liu Wuzhou? He sighed and asked coldly. But you don't need the other party to give you an answer.

Liu Wuzhou is also one of the heroes who received the early warning from Boling. But for Li Xu's admonishing warning, he gave a very direct refusal. "Since the fire on the Liao River that year, Liu has nothing to do with the Great Sui. Liu is now the Dingyang Khan of the Turks, and if the Great Khan decides to go south, Liu will naturally have to lead the army to follow! ”

As the left Sima of the Boling Army, Shi Defang had certainly read Liu Wuzhou's reply. He didn't understand Li Xu's stubbornness, let alone Liu Wuzhou's almost crazy shamelessness. Although the shamelessness of the latter seems extremely above board. "Not everyone will be like Liu Wuzhou. Whoever the Turks hit, everyone themselves had to resist......" he hesitated for a moment and defended in a low voice. But his neck was visibly weaker.

"I can't see how much difference there is between us making way for the Turks to go south and Liu Wuzhou's behavior of acting for the tiger! Fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter, that's all! Li Xu's gaze swept over the civil and military with different faces, and he emphasized his determination very seriously. The decision was made by me, and it had nothing to do with Zhao Sima. If anyone thinks that this will affect their future, they can take the initiative to resign. Again, I don't want to see my own people falling against each other anymore. As for the idea of whether the reinforcements will fight the six counties in the future, that is something that can only be considered after repelling the Turkic wolf cavalry. Before that, no matter which heroes come to help, whether he is a bandit or a rebel, the Boling army must make way for him! ”

With that, he flicked his sleeves and left the chamber first.

For the first time, Asahiko refused to continue listening to any advice. He knew that he didn't meet any of the requirements of the Lord by doing so, but he didn't want to do any more entanglement. In the books he read when he was a teenager, whenever the country was in trouble, there would always be men who did not want to be foreign slaves to come forward. They may have lost their struggle, but what they did shined brightly in their last stand.

This light illuminates the entire annals of history. Let those originally blue-gray content instantly become warm and gorgeous.

"Shi Sima is actually very kind!" When turning the corridor in the back hall, Zhou Daniu caught up from behind and persuaded in a low voice.

"I know he's kind. I don't really want to blame him either! Li Xu let out a long sigh and said as he looked at the snowflakes falling in the sky.

The snow fell heavily, covering the pond rockery in the courtyard and turning it white. The human footprints are drawn on it, like black letters written on white paper, and every step is clear. It's just that where those footprints finally lead, they are obscured by endless snow, and those who stand in the distance can't see it at all.

Xuzi doesn't know where her future path will lead? He remembered that when he was a young student, whenever he read the fragments of the ancients' sacrifice for righteousness, his heart was full of pride, and he longed to replace him. Now, the opportunity to be a hero has really come, but he finds that being a hero is really difficult, difficult.

Recently, the Turks were about to invade, and the news that the Boling army would take the initiative to meet him spread rapidly in a small area. Many people's minds immediately set to move. Since Li Xu can't provide them with the opportunity to enter and exit the general, it is natural for these people to look for new worthy followers. And when the news of Li Yuan's conquest of Chang'an came, many people who had already decided to leave suddenly turned around. They suddenly began to admire Li Xu's foresight in private, and they could see the great development prospects of the Li family in Hedong so early.

Only a few others, such as the German side, opposed the battle against the Turks in order to give the Boling army a better future for development. And when the situation of the Li family in Hedong winning the world became more and more obvious, they still chattered against the intervention of Hedong soldiers and horses.

Speaking from his heart, Xuzi knew that some of the German fears were not entirely unreasonable, and at the beginning of the establishment of any dynasty, he would vigorously appease a group of supporters with strong military forces. Sealing the king, tearing the soil, entrusting the three princes with the important task, all means of winning over are willing to be used. But when this new imperial court was stabilized, methods such as cutting the feudal domain, disarming, and framing came one after another, and every move was used to the extreme.

Therefore, Xuzi knows that in the eyes of many people, he has chosen a path of no return. Once you start, there's never going back.

"However, I believe that adults must have the best of both worlds!" Accompanying Li Xu to watch the flying snowflakes for a while, Zhou Daniu broke the silence again.

"What's the solution?" Li Xu smiled dumbly. Da Niu is the most qualified guard commander, because no matter what he says, he never questions it.

"I can defeat the Turks again, and I can not be robbed of the foundation by Li Yuan!" Zhou Daniu smiled and said as he stomped on the snow on the tips of his boots. He believed in Li Xu, he believed that General Li would not take everyone to death, and there was always a way to create a miracle. Since the Battle of Nameless Valley, there has been no reservation in the faith.

"What if I can't think of the best of both worlds?" Asahiko continued to walk a few steps on the snow and asked rhetorically.

"I followed the general. Most of our brethren in the Boling Army will follow the general. Zhou Daniu replied without hesitation, "At least when I follow the general, I don't have to calculate others every day, and I don't have to say anything and look forward and backward at all times." ”

With that, he turned his head to look at the snow-covered earth, stretched his arms, and took a long breath, "On a day like this, it's comfortable!" It's worth it too! ”

The snow continues and shows no signs of stopping. The footprints that had just been left were covered again, and the earth was white again.

Every step you step on is new. How to settle down, the traveler grasps for himself.

On the morning of the next day, Li Xu convened the civil and military affairs again. As he had expected, no one had asked for his resignation. Although the German side still had a gloomy face, he no longer sneered at anyone. He didn't want to leave Li Xu, maybe to fulfill the loyalty of his ministers, or maybe like Zhou Daniu, just to live an easy life.

"I hope you guys don't think about anything else, and go all out with me to fight the upcoming war first." Li Xu smiled kindly at everyone and mobilized. "If I win, I'll find a suitable way out for everyone. In addition to going to the championship! He let out a long sigh and continued, "We are not strong enough, and we will only lose the lives of our brothers if we do it!" ”

"What will you do then?" At that time, the German side could not hold back again and went out to inquire.

"Let's talk about the battle in front of us after we fight the battle in front of us." Li Xu smiled and nodded at him, "I didn't deceive everyone. This time it will not be perfunctory with false words! ”
