Chapter 113: Go Back
After Shen Zangfeng summoned the generals, he said that the Liu family asked for help, but he did not express his position, but asked the opinions of the soldiers under his command.
"Donghu is the territory of the Liu family, and it has nothing to do with our Xiliang Army, the Donghu Army itself is not angry, and it can't keep the ancestral industry, why do you want our Xiliang sons to work hard for them?"
Hong Jincai, the most short-tempered Xuanwei general, shouted dissatisfiedly after hearing the words of the Liu family's request for help, "What's more, we set off in a hurry and didn't bring all the baggage." If it weren't for the Wei family's help to buy grain and grass from the south, the sons and daughters wouldn't be able to eat! Now although the grain and grass have been picked up, in addition to Gyeonggi, how many places in the Great Wei world are peaceful? The old lord and Xiang Ningbo have all suffered accidents, several old masters are gone, the sons are still young, and the ladies are still in the courtyard on the shore of Chuncao Lake, if the army leaves, in case those chaotic people come to kill......"
"But the old lord and Xiang Ningbo, as well as several masters and sons, all died in the hands of the Rong people." Not everyone thinks the same as Hong Jin, before he finished speaking, Lu Shengnian, a strong military general who is one level higher than him, said lukewarmly, "Now that the Liu family has mentioned this matter, if our Xiliang Army does not express it, it will definitely attract criticism, and it has the reputation of a hussar general!" ”
Hearing Lu Shengnian say this, several generals who had not yet expressed their position, but privately felt that there was no real benefit in going north at this moment.
The so-called revenge of killing his father is not shared, the Liu family brought up this reason, if Shen Zangfeng can't come up with enough excuses, then his own unfilial hat will be detained, not to mention, even the Xiliang Army will be looked down on in the future - following an unfilial and unrighteous commander, can you not be angry and weak?
At the beginning, Shen Zangfeng was a step late and failed to save his father, brother, uncle and nephew and other family members, resulting in lifelong regrets. However, when he was about to go, the quartermaster knelt down in front of his horse with a baggage booklet and persuaded him to come back to his senses.
From Shen Zangfeng's personal point of view, he was very eager to enter the tent of the king of the Rong people, and brought the head of the Great Khan of the Rong people back to sacrifice to his family. But the reality is that the Xiliang Army will really go north to fight with the Rong people, and it is difficult to say whether they can kill the king tent - after all, even if the baggage is enough, the king tent can also be relocated - there will definitely not be too many things for the Xiliang army to chase the Central Plains, and the Rong people are not paper-paste.
What's more, the Great Khan of Rong Da Khan is not the original Qiu Di's big single can be compared with Mu Xiuer, although Mu Xiuer was judged to be eloquent, but he had just defeated his brother Ren Da Dan Yu at that time, and he had not yet sat in a stable position, and because he was anxious to stabilize his position, he would commit the mistake of being greedy for merit, so that he took a wrong step and made a wrong step, and finally died himself, which made Qiu Di's people chaotic and scattered. His own talent has no chance to be used at all.
This is why the Xiliang Army did not lose much of the results of the victory, and it is by no means that the Di people are really vulnerable.
The Great Khan of Rongda has been on the throne for decades, and although the sons under his knees are competing for the throne, even the third prince who invaded the imperial capital does not dare to shake the position of his father Khan. Therefore, in the crusade against the Rong people, we must be prepared for a head-to-head confrontation.
A head-to-head confrontation means a loss.
There is a way that Ci is not in charge of the army, from Shen Zangfeng to the generals summoned by him, they are all people who are accustomed to life and death, not to mention that the Xiliang Army is not an army that will only follow the rout to pick up cheap and cannot fight a tough battle. It's just that being able to play and being able to play are two different things.
Even if Shen Zangfeng has not confided in his future plans so far, Hong Jin and the others know in their hearts that Great Wei now has only one breath left, and it is inevitable to change the dynasty in the future.
They have in their hands the Xiliang Army, one of the three major border armies in the world, and they have taken a great advantage in the troubled times.
If this army is crippled for revenge, then even if revenge is taken, it is a question of whether the Shen family can protect itself next, the world? What does the world have to do with the remnants of the army?
Besides, it was the old lord who died in the fall of the imperial capital, although it was the old lord, it was not their flesh and blood relatives in the end.
Therefore, the generals tacitly hope to preserve the strength of the Xiliang Army at this moment, rather than being consumed prematurely.
So as soon as Lu Shengnian's voice fell, someone came out to refute: "This is wrong! The people who died at the hands of the Rong people were only the old lords? There are six valves in the sea, and the families of Pei Qianzhou, Deng Huomin, and Zhang are the second to look at each other, which one has not formed a blood feud with the Rong people? Not to mention the tens of thousands of people in the imperial capital, as well as the slaves of each family...... The enmity with the Rong people is from all over the world, could it be that this time the Liu family asked for help, and everyone in the world rushed to help Donghu? ”
When this man said this, the generals echoed him.
is even more humane: "In fact, the third prince of the Rong people has been ambushed, and if you want to say that the revenge of the old lord has been avenged...... Didn't the general already take the head of the third prince of the Rong people to sacrifice to the old lord? ”
Shen Zangfeng's expression did not move, but he sighed helplessly in his heart: after the Xiliang Army and the Qingzhou Army converged, they recovered the imperial capital and Yanzhou, and they had to suspend the use of troops due to the baggage, and rested and raised food first, but this truce, the contradiction that was suppressed by the blood feud earlier took the opportunity to break out.
The small actions of the Xiliang people, the uncles and nephews of Burning Quinoa Hall fought for power, and the eldest son of the Su family seized the throne...... After these things, Shen Su was tense with each other, so how could they talk about joining forces to fight?
Not to mention today's discussion, it is obvious that the careful thinking of the people below has been born.
Although he can force everyone to agree to support the Liu family, the morale can be imagined......
"Having said that, everyone knows that the Rong people are fierce and cannot be resisted by non-border troops." Seeing that the boss didn't speak, Lu Shengnian frowned and said, "It's okay to talk about this here, take it out and say it, it really loses the momentum of our Xiliang Army, and it makes outsiders laugh." ”
Shen Zangfeng was at war with heaven and man in his heart, and selfishness and reason were constantly fighting, and after a while, he looked at Shangguan Eleven: "What does Eleven think?" ”
"I thought I might as well go back." Although Shangguan Eleven was much more generous than before, he still showed nervousness in the face of the crowded scene, and unconsciously tightened his sleeves when he spoke, and said, "Actually, there is no big benefit to staying in the imperial capital now, and I am afraid it will be even more troublesome in the future." ”
"Go back?" Everyone was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, they realized that he meant to return to Xiliang.
Hong Jin was a little unhappy: "We arrived in the Central Plains so easily, but now we have to go back, isn't that right?" ”
"But now Dawei is not dead." Shangguan Shiyi stared at the ground in front of him, and said softly, "If we stay in the imperial capital, we will defend the royal family." ”
"Emperor Wei is just a puppet, if it weren't for our general......" Hong Jin was halfway through his words, when Shen Zangfeng glanced at him and stopped talking.
But he listened to Shangguan Shiyi's patient explanation: "Even though Emperor Wei is a puppet, he is in one day, and Great Wei is there." ”
"Since the Great Wei is here, how can the Shen family, as a Wei minister, not defend the royal family?"
Speaking of this, Hong Jin also reacted, and his face froze: Yes, now the whole world knows that Emperor Wei is just a puppet, because of the erosion of the Imperial Forest Army and the destruction of the Xuanjiawei army, the Shen family now does not even have a single soldier in his hands, and it all depends on Shen and Su Lizhu, and the emperor of the Shen family can live in the palace peacefully.
Once someone covets the imperial capital, what can the one in the palace do now? The Xiliang Army and Qingzhou Army who are still here are not allowed to resist?
Although the two border armies are strong, even if they ignore the Liu family's request for help and go all out to defend the imperial capital, they may not have the confidence to defend the ambition of the whole world!
Besides, if you really don't care about the Liu family, if Donghu can't hold it, the Rong people and the rebellious people in the country will attack the north and south......
The reason why no one in the country has come to attack the imperial capital now is entirely because in the first month, the world's soldiers rushed to the aid of Gyeonggi, and there was a rare scene of soldiers working together. The first few forces to emerge among the rebels were not ready, or did not plan to fight with the regular border army now, so they remained silent.
For example, Zhao Qian also took the initiative to give up Huoxian.
But that's not the case anymore.
As the power of the chaotic people becomes bigger and bigger, and the world becomes more and more chaotic, sooner or later someone will be unable to hold back and set their eyes on the imperial capital.
At that time, no matter who defends the imperial capital, they will not be able to escape the responsibility of defending the land on behalf of the Great Wei.
Even if you oust the Shen family from power and call yourself the emperor - the imperial capital is the imperial capital, and those who are interested in changing the dynasty don't want to occupy this place?
"What's more, after the old lord left, the hearts of the people in the clan were turbulent and quite unstable. Although there are five masters and the eldest prince in Xiliang, with all due respect, both the fifth master and the eldest prince are too young to make the people feel at ease. Shangguan 11 continued, "There is no substantial benefit for General Hengzhu to continue to stay here, it is better to go back to Xiliang first, stabilize the clan, recuperate, and hope for the Central Plains!" ”
Shangguan 11 privately referred to Shen Zangfeng as "Brother Shen", but in front of the generals, in order to maintain Shen Zangfeng's prestige, he still called him by his title of general.
At this moment, listening to his words, the room was silent, and everyone fell into deep thought.
After a while, Shen Zangfeng looked around and asked, "Eleven, what do you think?" ”
Or acute. Zi Hongjin spoke first: "General, the last general thinks what Mr. Shangguan said is very true!" "He insisted on not helping the Liu family, as long as he didn't help the Liu family, he would be able to say anything for the time being - anyway, the idea was mentioned by Shangguan Eleven, and if something went wrong, the first one to ask Shangguan Eleven.
"The one who is worried is that Xiliang is far away from the Central Plains, once I wait to go back, will I let the chaotic people sit big?" Lu Shengnian happened to be the opposite of him, and asked uneasily.
Shangguan 11 thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "It is inevitable that the chaotic people will sit big, after all, if you want to sweep the world and quell the rebellion, you have to join forces with the three border armies, and the Xiliang army alone can't do it." Since they can't quell the chaos in the world, they can only let them go. After all, according to the current situation, even if there is no trouble in the north now, it is unlikely that the three major border armies will join forces to quell the chaos. If you only rely on the Xiliang Army to suppress the rebellious people everywhere, it will only provoke the rebellious people to regard the Xiliang Army as a thorn in the flesh...... The most important thing is that there is no need for this, the chaotic people are good at driving the innocent as the vanguard, and exchanging them with elite soldiers, even if it is exchanged for dozens of them, it will not be worth it. It will also wear a lot of baggage. It's better to go back to Xiliang to save money, and wait for the rebels to attack each other and decide the winner, and then come forward to quell the rebellion! ”
All in all, Shangguan Shiyi's plan is to feel that although the signs of changing the dynasty are already obvious, it is still vague who will be the one who will change the dynasty. The Shen family and the Su family seem to be the strongest, but they are only relatively strong, and they are not strong enough to sweep the world with a ticket.
In order not to compromise this advantage, it is better to go back to Sangzi first, firstly, to implement Shen Zangfeng's new identity as the lord, and secondly, to get rid of the burden of Gongwei Imperial Capital, and to rely on the deep-rooted Xiliang of the Shen family, Qiu Di was only scattered a few years ago, so it can be said that when he returns to his hometown, he can sit back and relax, and he can concentrate on development and savings.
Look for the opportunity to pick peaches again......
"If it's before, let's go back to Xiliang. But now that the Liu family has asked for help, will we be considered afraid of the Rong people if we leave like this? "Although Shangguan Eleven's idea sounds good, there are still many flaws when you actually think about it.
However, since he mentioned it, he also considered these flaws: "What if we also have border troubles in Xiliang?" ”
