Chapter 373: Canvassing
That same evening.
Zhou Yu returned to the mansion and tossed and turned.
He sat up and said to the subordinate at the door: "Go and call Zhou Tai." ”
This Zhou Tai is Zhou Yu's henchman.
is also Zhou Yu's cousin, very capable, and he has also performed in front of the emperor in water warfare before.
Currently, he is one of the deputy commanders of the Third Army, but he is the most powerful deputy commander.
Soon, Zhou Tai came to the mansion.
in the living room.
Zhou Yu carefully explained today's events.
After listening to Zhou Yu's words, Zhou Tai touched his stubble like a steel needle.
"Legion commander, this matter is indeed a little difficult to say, this commander's position is very good, as long as you sit on it, you can even be said to be the head of the Great Yan generals, it stands to reason that you are the most suitable candidate among these corps commanders, but the emperor did not choose you immediately, which means that in fact, in the emperor's heart, you are not the best candidate."
"Think about it again, yesterday the emperor called all the legion commanders into the palace, why did he call a deputy legion commander Han Xin, is there anything else in this?"
This......
Listening to Zhou Tai's words, Zhou Yu immediately fell into deep thought.
In fact, the reason Zhou Tai said is very simple, and Zhou Yu can figure it out himself.
But until now, Zhou Yu didn't know what the emperor had taken a fancy to Han Xin.
The ability shown by Han Xin today is really good, and even Zhou Yu wants to wrestle with Han Xin to see who brings out stronger soldiers.
However, Han Xin's qualifications are not as good as his own.
Even if it is a seniority, it is not Han Xin's turn.
Zhou Tai looked at Zhou Yu and spoke.
"Legion Commander, your time is running out, tomorrow morning, the Legion Commanders will start voting, you should find a way to canvass for votes now, and pull more votes."
"In this way, even if the emperor wants Han Xin to be the commander, he has to think carefully about the impact, right?"
Zhou Yu frowned, and he sighed.
He naturally understands this truth, and he is the same, Zhou Yu also understands Tang Tingbai's temper.
Be a law onto oneself.
Let the generals vote, to put it bluntly, just let them have a sense of participation.
Zhou Yu stood up: "Zhou Tai, you follow me to visit these legion leaders." ”
Soon, the two had already arrived at the Lu Mansion.
It's just that the gate of the Lu Mansion is closed at this moment.
The family told Zhou Yu with an apologetic face that their master was sick and had rested, so it was inconvenient to meet guests.
Obviously, Lu Bu had already guessed some of these doorways, so naturally he wouldn't make trouble for himself, so he simply didn't see the guests, out of sight and out of mind.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yu and Zhou Tai went to the mansions of Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Ma Chao, Li Xin and others.
It's all behind closed doors.
Obviously, there are no stupid people who can be the commander of the army, they all know the emperor's thoughts in their hearts, and naturally they will not offend the emperor in this kind of thing.
Besides, they can't be the commander, and it doesn't matter who they are.
In the end, Zhou Yu came to Su Lie's mansion with a helpless face.
This is also the last one.
Zhou Yu knew that there was no hope for this family, but he still wanted to come, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, Zhou Yu didn't want to give up.
Soon, he had come to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
To Zhou Yu's surprise, the Prime Minister's Mansion did not have a closed door.
Instead, he was invited in.
Prime Minister's Mansion, living room.
Prime Minister Su Zhen sat on the chair with a gentle face, and Su Lie was still sitting next to him.
And at hand, it's Zhou Yu.
"General Zhou Yu, I already know the true meaning of your coming, and Su Lie can support you tomorrow, but to be honest, there is not much hope."
"After all, those legion commanders have already closed their doors, which means that they have understood the emperor's thoughts, and at this critical time, those people will never go against the emperor, so don't get your hopes up, after all, ...... It's all about participation. ”
What?
Participation?
Zhou Yu's face was a little ugly, he understood what Su Zhen said, but he was unwilling to let him give up like this.
Su Zhen looked at Zhou Yu with a smile: "General Zhou Yu, now my Dayan's territory is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more soldiers and horses are needed, before Benxiang was a little worried about the crisis of the coalition crusade in a year, but now Benxiang is not worried at all, because we have the emperor, the emperor will definitely take us through the crisis, this time a group army was established, Benxiang believes that within a year, the second group army will also be established, and at that time, among these army commanders now, who do you say will be the most suitable candidate?" ”
Listening to Su Zhen's words, Zhou Yu's eyes lit up, and he didn't speak immediately.
The brain is racing.
I have to say that Su Zhen's words are very reasonable, and they also give him a feeling of empowerment.
It was as if it was already dark in front of me, but I saw the dawn.
Oh, yes.
He also knew that he didn't have much chance this time, and he also knew that the emperor wanted Han Xin to be the commander of this group army, but he was unwilling, he just wanted to fight.
But now, after listening to Su Zhen's words, he didn't think so anymore.
Su Zhen's words make a lot of sense.
If Dayan doesn't develop, it will stagnate.
That would be enough for the formation of an army group.
The emperor's temper must not stop, and he will definitely continue to expand.
To put it bluntly, as long as the emperor lives for one day, he has to fight for one day.
After all, they have been with Tang Tingbai for so long, and they also know the character of their emperor very well.
Since there is little hope for the commander of the first army, the commander of the second army is holding the handle in his hand, and he is just waiting for a while.
Zhou Yu is still young, in his twenties, young and strong.
You can wait, and you can afford to wait.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yu stood up and bowed to Su Zhen: "Thank you Prime Minister for clarifying your doubts, I figured it out and completely figured it out." ”
Su Zhen smiled and glanced at Zhou Yu appreciatively: "General Zhou Yu, you and my family Su Lie are both young people, you will move around more in the future." ”
Zhou Yu nodded with a smile.
After chatting with Su Zhen and Su Lie for a while, Zhou Yu said goodbye and left.
On the way, Zhou Tai and Zhou Yu were riding on war horses, Zhou Tai hesitated, but still spoke: "General, the prime minister asked you and General Su Lie to move around more, the meaning is obvious, that is, if you want to draw you closer to the Nanshan camp, you have to be careful." ”
Zhou Yu nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, Ben Jiang naturally knows, Ben Jiang also knows that the emperor doesn't like Nanshan and West Lake, so Ben Jiang won't join, but then again, although he doesn't join, he can't offend Prime Minister Dayan." ”
Zhou Tai also smiled and did not speak.
Zhou Yu is a smart person, and he immediately figured out the truth in this.
However, although he had figured it out, he was still a little unconvinced.
After all, if he loses to people like Lu Bu, Huang Zhong, and Guiguzi Xiang Yu, he will admit it.
However, he lost to Han Xin, and he was not convinced.
However, this dissatisfaction can only be hidden in the heart.
Nothing was said all night, and the next day at noon.
A group of generals also went to the palace, and everyone chatted and laughed.
Zhou Yu also took the initiative to talk.
After all, the fact that these legion commanders didn't see him yesterday already explained everything.
Now he has to take the initiative to make friends with each other and relieve the embarrassment.
After all, they are all generals of Dayan, and maybe when, they will have to cooperate in battle.
The relationship still can't be too stiff.
Soon, everyone had already arrived at the Heart Cultivation Palace.
The crowd sat in chairs.
Lu Bu looked at Han Xin with a smile: "General Han, if you are developed in the future, don't forget our brothers, in the future, we will have to help each other on the battlefield." ”
Han Xin hurriedly nodded.
Han Xin knew in his heart that even if he became the commander of this group army, he would still be a younger brother in front of this group of bigwigs.
After all, who let him play late?
At this time, Tang Tingbai walked into the Heart Nourishing Hall with his hands behind his back.
Everyone stood up in unison and said respectfully: "My subordinates meet the emperor, long live my emperor, long live." ”
Tang Tingbai waved his hand: "Sit down, they are all their own brothers, why are you so polite?" ”
Saying that, Tang Tingbai was already sitting on the main seat, looking at everyone with a smile.
"Brothers, yesterday I asked you to go back and think about the candidates for this group army, do you have any candidates?"
