218 Zhang Boshen waved his hand to draw a flatbread
has made great contributions, and is happy, but Liu Bei's tradition of leading the troops cannot be changed.
In this world where human life is like a mustard, although Liu Bei will not be so merciful as not to kill, he always cares about human life, and he will not regard the lives of others as indifferent things like others.
Therefore, after the battle, the army led by him would always hold a collective memorial service for the soldiers who died in battle, and then dispose of their bodies with lime, send people to return their bodies to their hometowns, and give the pension and the soldier's inheritance to the family.
If the soldier had no family, Liu Bei would be personally responsible for cremation, and then find a suitable place to build a cemetery on the spot.
The old subordinates who had followed Liu Bei for a long time were accustomed to Liu Bei's approach, but Sun Jian, who had followed Liu Bei for the first time, was a little new about it.
"If there are too many soldiers killed in battle, it will be very laborious and material, and it is good for you to be merciful, but it will inevitably consume too many materials in doing so."
Sun Jian was still used to the old ways in the army, so he suggested to Liu Bei that he would not spend so much money and reward more money to the living, rather than on the dead.
Liu Bei, who has always been kind to Sun Jian, showed a serious look on his face at this time.
"If a general is indifferent to a soldier who dies in battle for himself, how many soldiers will be willing to die for the general? I think such a general has no conscience. ”
Sun Jian was puzzled.
"The greatest significance of a general is to win battles and obtain military merits, and it is enough to treat soldiers with strict military law, so why do you need a conscience? A soldier won't be able to die and win a battle just because the general has a conscience, right? ”
Liu Bei shook his head.
"Wentai, if you want to achieve meritorious deeds, you can strictly enforce military law, but if you want to start and finish well, you can't do it without conscience, whether it is a court official or a general, it is the same."
Sun Jian felt that what Liu Bei said made some sense, but he didn't take it very seriously.
He felt that Liu Bei was no longer a simple general, so he pursued more, but he was a general who urgently needed credit to improve his military merits and treatment, so military merit was more important.
Liu Bei has already achieved great military merits, he admires Liu Bei's courage and courage, but he is not satisfied, because he also wants such feats, so that he can prove himself and get rich!
He traveled thousands of miles to bring the children of Jiangdong from the southeast to the northwest, for the sake of not having a conscience.
Sun Jian wants to get meritorious, and Zhang Wen also wants to get meritorious, but in addition to getting meritorious, Zhang Wen has other thoughts.
Liu Bei's bravery and excellent command ability on the battlefield made Zhang Wen sigh.
He knew that Liu Bei didn't need to take risks to go to the battlefield in person, with his current status, he would have had the opportunity to not go to the battlefield, do things comfortably in a safe place, and easily lie down and win.
Even if Liu Bei doesn't do anything, as long as he lives safely, he will definitely be able to reach a high position in the future.
But he didn't, he resolutely chose the most arduous and dangerous road, went to the flesh to fight, risked his life to rush to the front line, in exchange for real military merits that no one can question.
Such a solid military function has brought Liu Bei a very generous return, this is for sure.
The elite of the empire pays attention to a general and a general, and it is natural for the best elite talents to have this pursuit, and such talents can often achieve the cause of the three princes in the end.
What's more, Liu Bei is still a relative of the Han family, and such a relationship in it makes Zhang Wen feel that Liu Bei's future is limitless.
Zhang Wen has always felt that supporting the eunuch is not a long-term plan after all.
The eunuch can shelter him, but also devour him in turn, can give him something to achieve him, and can also make him fall into a situation from which he will never recover, and the eunuchs are such a realistic political creature.
They don't have any feelings.
So if he doesn't prepare for both, I'm afraid he will regret it one day in the future.
So Zhang Wen wrote a good news to the imperial court, and at the same time began to think about how he should go next.
But thinking about it, Zhang Wen will not slack off on what he should do, he knows what he is doing here.
The next day after the heavy rain poured, it was sunny again, the sky was clear, the sun was shining, and the scenery was good.
If it didn't rain at that time, he would have allowed Liu Bei to take his fierce men to rush again, even if the casualties were a little bigger, but no one could give up the temptation to do their best in a battle.
It's a pity......
However, due to Liu Bei's activity in the previous battle, the rebels must have been hit hard, according to the latest pursuit of military information, Zhang Wen learned that the rebels were fleeing all the way to the northwest, and the speed of the rout was very fast, and the infantry could run like scuds, without any queue at all, just like a group of fleeing refugees.
Is this a real failure, or the kind of failure that has no backhand.
Now that the goal of the first military operation to expel the rebels from the right side of the wind has been achieved, it is time to update the military objectives and launch a new military operation.
You can't be slow to earn military merits!
At this military meeting, Liu Bei was invited by Zhang Wen to sit first on his lower left to show his importance to Liu Bei, and Zhou Shen, who was originally sitting here, also said that he was happy to give up this position to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei expressed his gratitude to Zhou Shen, took the first seat in the lower left, and when he looked up, he saw Dong Zhuo on the opposite side smiling at him with cracked teeth, which reminded Liu Bei of the smile on Ji Jian's face that followed him first.
The attitude of the arrogant soldiers towards Liu Bei has completely changed.
That's what it looks like to be convinced.
It feels pretty good.
Everyone was seated, and Zhang Wen began to talk about the current military situation, saying that the rebels were fleeing in disarray, the first phase of the army's combat mission had been achieved, and the next thing to do was to pursue the rebels.
The army needs to enter Liangzhou and launch a comprehensive crusade against the rebels based in Jincheng County, and strive to wipe out all the rebels in one go.
There is no doubt that Zhang Wen is also good at painting flatbread.
And this victory also invisibly increased Zhang Wen's prestige, so everyone agreed with Zhang Wen's opinion that they wanted to let the army enter Liangzhou and completely eliminate the Liangzhou rebels in order to do their best.
In terms of how to deal with the rebels, Zhang Wen also made arrangements.
He decided to send Zhou Shen to lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to directly pursue the rebels to Jincheng County to eliminate the remnants of the main force, and arranged for Dong Zhuo to lead 30,000 troops through Hanyang County and advance in the direction of the Longxi Army to eliminate the Qiang tribe Xianlingqiang who were in rebellion with the rebels.
Then he made arrangements for Bao Hong, who participated in the battle, and asked Liu Bei to lead the elite cavalry of his headquarters to follow him as a strategic general reserve.
The whole is a four-way operation.
For this arrangement, the generals discussed a lot, and then Dong Zhuo still put forward some of his own opinions - compared to the previous outright contempt, this time Dong Zhuo was much more polite.
"At present, the situation in Liangzhou is very chaotic, although the rebels have suffered a big defeat, but Liangzhou is the nest of the rebels, there must be more to rely on, if it is only 30,000 people to crusade against Jincheng County, I am afraid that it will not be enough, if you order me to fight Jincheng County with General Zhou, then a big thing can be done."
Speaking of which, Dong Zhuo didn't think it was a good thing to crusade against Xian Lingqiang at all, the Qiang people were rough and good at fighting, and they often had no fixed residence, and they were just people who followed the rebels to make trouble, and the leaders of the rebels in Jincheng County were the most important.
If you take them, you can have great military merits, and you will have greater benefits, and if you can't take them, even if you really defeat Xian Lingqiang, it will just be a foil in the military merit book.
So Dong Zhuo also wanted to go to Jincheng County.
Zhou Shen was suddenly a little unhappy.
"General Dong, first Lingqiang is a thief, a great rebellion, full of evil, this time our army is not only to crusade against the rebels, but also to crusade against Lingqiang, you and I divide our troops to fight, why not? The Jincheng rebels have just suffered a crushing defeat, and our army is enough! ”
Good boy, what about sloppy play with me?
Are we talking about the same thing?
"Although the rebels in Liangzhou were defeated, they were not wiped out, there is still the power of a battle, Liangzhou is full of jackals, tigers and leopards, General Zhou's lone army went deep into the nest of the rebels, not to mention anything else, the back road may be dangerous!"
Dong Zhuo stared at Zhou Shen with fixed eyes, and the smell of threat was not concealed at all.
Zhou Shen didn't give Dong Zhuo face at all.
It's all a thousand-year-old fox, what are you doing with me and chatting?
How dare a Liangzhou person be so arrogant?
The former officials of the Yuan family are amazing, huh?
"The rebels are newly defeated, and they have lost two generals in a row, they must be demoralized and shaken in their hearts. General Dong is too worried! ”
The two of you, you stare at me and I stare at you, neither of them is a fuel-efficient lamp.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Wen had a headache again.
At the right time, Liu Bei stood up.
"What the two generals said makes sense, but in my opinion, General Zhang's arrangement is still appropriate, General Dong is a native of Liangzhou and has many years of experience in fighting with the Qiang people, which General Zhou does not have, so General Dong has an advantage, and the crusade against Xian Lingqiang is the most suitable person.
Of course, General Dong's worries are not unreasonable, the rebels have offended the imperial court to death, there is no way to retreat, the trapped beast is still fighting, it is not something that can be ignored, although General Zhou has courage, but also pay attention to the rebels' decisive counterattack, so as not to lose a big one because of a small loss, and delay the fighter. ”
Liu Bei stood up to play a round, his face, Zhou Shen and Dong Zhuo could not ignore it, they had to give it.
So Zhou Shen sat back in his place and stopped talking.
Dong Zhuo sighed, although he was still unhappy, he didn't dare to blatantly refute Liu Bei's face.
"The problem of going deep alone is always a problem, dare to ask Captain Liu, how to solve this problem?"
