Chapter 27 is taken from the righteousness

Song Mingyi stared straight into Sun Jie's eyes and said slowly: "Brother Xian, let's talk about it." Now it's nothing more than an offensive and defensive strategy. Be in the mood. The code is peaceful: the foolish brother is considered to be a good defender of the land, and the promotion of the official position should be a certainty, the virtuous brother has made immortal achievements, the saint is benevolent, and the honor of the palace protector is not concerned, and even the marquis can be expected. However, the sage cloud, the gentleman is cautious. If so, you and I will always feel a little sorry in our hearts. ”

Sun Jie lowered his head and agreed: "What the eldest brother said is true. ”

Song Mingyi continued: "Yu Li should fight. Mencius said, although tens of millions of people have gone to me. If we take the initiative, you and I will have a clear conscience, but our brothers may put ourselves in the realm of nine deaths. The foolish brother is better, the treasury has grain, and the house has a wall, even if it happens, he can always hold on for a little longer. But the virtuous brother is completely different! Needless to say, swords and guns have no eyes, and it is the duty of a warrior to donate his body for the country; You can solve the siege of hundreds of thousands of thieves with a few thousand people, which is tantamount to a drop in the bucket, the hundred-year-old honor of the Sun Mansion, and the foundation of relying on it is here, once it is destroyed, how can you explain to the ancestors under the Nine Springs, as well as the children and grandchildren of future generations? ”

Sun Jie muttered, "Big brother, I have also taken this into account. The eldest brother also said that the saint is benevolent. Don't hide it from the eldest brother, humanity has been difficult since ancient times, and the only death has been, and the brothers have figured it out in the past few days. Thinking of his brothers, Sun Mou will fight his family foundation, even if he dies, not only will the clan not be destroyed, but the saint will give heaven a generous gift, right? ”

Song Mingyi smiled miserably: "Brother, you think shallowly. ”

Sun Jie was stunned, and Song Mingyi continued: "What you said earlier is right. If you smash all the troops into it, and you fight to the death, of course the saint will praise him greatly, and Sun Furong will be favored for a while in this dynasty...... But! It's like a building, no matter how magnificent the exterior is, and the foundation has been pulled out of thin air, how many days can it stand? Moreover, every time the green tile gold brick is added, the building will collapse earlier! ”

A seat of words was like a bucket of ice water, and Sun Jie froze there instantly.

Song Mingyi asked lightly: "My nephew, can you lead the troops?" ”

Sun Jie subconsciously replied: "How can a teenage baby lead a soldier." Then he straightened his chest, "However, when my father died, my brother was also of this age and had never led a soldier." ”

Song Ming discussed: "Of course this foolish brother knows. However, when Uncle Xian died, most of the lieutenant generals, staff generals, guerrillas, and thousands of generals under his command should still be there, right? These people's great-grandfathers, great-grandfathers, and fathers have all been begging for a living in your grandson's camp for generations, right? Without the support and assistance of these loyal subordinates of the family, no matter how talented the virtuous brother is, can he achieve today's achievements? Let me ask you, you have beaten them all, and their sons and nephews who are as big as my nephews may assist their nephews in training today's virtuous brothers! ”

These words made Sun Jie completely stupid.

Song Mingyi leaned out half of his body to Sun Jie, lowered his voice and said: "You and your generals all sacrificed their lives for the country, that's right, the Holy Grace will shadow your nephew and your subordinates' sons and nephews, and the handsome banner of the Sun Mansion will never fall in the short term, but will these baby soldiers be able to fight in the future?" When they grow up, in this dynasty, they can enjoy the glory by relying on the exploits of their fathers, in case they ......" Speaking of this, Song Mingyi suppressed his voice almost whispering, "If one day the Holy Lord is the dragon and the dragon controls the nine days, will the new emperor still be able to remember the deeds that you and your subordinates have made?" You know better than Brother Yu how much it costs to raise such an army, and the saints of the past dynasties are also very clear about the grace of the Sun family, but that ...... It's not all because of the merits of the ancestors, right? What's more, your soldiers can fight! Is that right? If you can't fight, how much food do you think this army can make the saint spend to keep it going? ”

Sun Jie, who was already dumbfounded, left his seat, knelt down to Song Mingyi, and said movingly: "Big brother! ”

Song Mingyi also hurriedly left his seat, didn't pull up Sun Jie, and simply knelt down to him: "Brother Fool knows that these words are taboo words, you and I are brothers who live and die together, since you say it, it is from the bottom of your heart." Brother doesn't need to say anything, you and I have a heart-to-heart, I believe that you will do the same to the foolish brother. Get up quickly, it's not good to be seen. ”

The two returned to their seats, and Sun Jie asked gratefully and blankly, "According to my brother's opinion, how about the lunch?" Sun is a rough man who can't read many words, and my brother knows a hundred times more than me, so how to do it is all up to my eldest brother. ”

Song Mingyi's expression was upright, and he said to Sun Jie: "Brother Fool has read the book of sages since he was a child, and he likes Wen Zhonglie Gong (Wen Tianxiang, Ming Chai gave the nickname 'Zhonglie') 'Kong said to be benevolent, Meng said to take righteousness, only his righteousness is exhausted, so benevolence is the best." What do you learn when you read the books of the sages? From now on, I am almost worthy of this passage. After thinking about it for a few days, at this moment the foolish brother has also figured it out, and it is good to live for a hundred years. If Zhang Thief succeeds, there will be a big turmoil in the officialdom of Nanzhili, and the foolish brother will definitely benefit from it. However, in the middle of the night, when you ask yourself, you will finally be ashamed of the gods. I will say it thoroughly today, that is, I want you and my brothers to be of the same heart, even if the thieves are attracted to attack Luzhou, as long as the siege of Anqing is relieved, and the land of Longxing in Nanzhili is safe, our brothers will just die side by side again! Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and people are not as good as heaven, how can they take care of a lot of things after this death - not to mention, you and I are righteous and sincere, and the sky has eyes, and we will definitely protect our children and grandchildren. ”

Sun Jie also clenched his fists: "What the eldest brother said is true!" When my eldest brother said this, my heart was also relaxed. In this way, Sun died without regrets! In the past two days, I led my troops to aid Anqing. There should be a thousand and a half people available in my auxiliary corps, and my eldest brother can help me prepare the same number of strong people. In addition to the wounded, there are more than 300 people in my pro-military battalion, leaving the eldest brother to help defend Luzhou, you don't have to shirk, you can't defend the city by relying on the government alone, these hundreds of people have a lot of merit, and they can play a big role. That Sheng Degong can be regarded as both wise and brave, and I didn't want to be promoted to a general, so as not to gossip about me favoring my own soldiers, and Hugh is just a guerrilla rank...... Well, guerrilla...... Oh, enough to do a general...... What is this guerrilla......" Speaking of this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he was pleasantly surprised to Song Mingyi, "Big brother, there is!" ”

This time it was Song Mingyi's turn to be confused: "Brother Xian, what did you say?" What do you think of? ”

Sun Jie said happily: "Big brother, I have thought of a good way!" ”

Song Mingyi hurriedly said: "Come on!" ”

Sun Jie said: "I said that Sheng Degong suddenly thought of it. Guerrilla generals are official positions, but in fact, their origin is from the methods of war! Chen Feng (pronounced 'West') entered the customs with the Han Gaozu incident, and was named this position by Gaozu, and the name is taken from the meaning of 'the guerrilla chooses the time to attack'. It was originally a miscellaneous general, and it was inherited in the future, and there was such a military attache custom. At the beginning of this dynasty, this position was also set up with the meaning of 'guerrilla back and forth defense', but over time, everyone habitually used this title as a military attache grade, but forgot its origin! ”

Song Ming said strangely: "That...... Since there is a saying of 'guerrilla defense' in this dynasty, why do people still regard it as just an official position? ”

Sun Jie smiled proudly: "Because they can't do it!" ”

Song Mingyi just vaguely felt a little understood, but when Sun Jie said this, he was confused again: "They can't do it?" What did Brother Xian say? ”

Sun Jie was even more proud: "Of course! It's not bragging, the combat power of several battalions of brothers, you know it, big brother. Not to mention the guards whose hoes are much sharper than knives, even if they are other military towns, there are few soldiers who are familiar with each other and can catch up with their brothers. I can personally lead my troops to do this guerrilla thing! A mere 2,000 soldiers, even if they are full, cannot fight against hundreds of thousands of thieves, and they will die in battle. But on the other hand, although the thieves are powerful, seventy or eighty percent of them are coerced outcasts! Even those old thieves and bandits will never be able to command the battalions like brothers. Although the road is more than 200 miles wide, in the eyes of the brothers, it can be said that there are flaws everywhere! If you understand this layer, you can avoid the real and the virtual, and the guerrillas will come and go, causing nuisance and sabotage. Like that poisonous bee, it is a nuisance all the time. The eldest brother only needs to ensure a continuous flow of food and straw, take care of the wounded and sick, and the brother leads two battalions to attack each time, and avoid it when it is strong, fight if it is weak, and flee after fighting, with this iron wall of Luzhou City as a support, come back from time to time to rest and rotate, enough to teach the thief not to be at peace for a moment! The siege of Anqing is incomprehensible, and it can be much easier! ”

Song Mingyi was overjoyed, stroked his palms and smiled: "It's still a brother!" This is about soldiers, the foolish brother is convinced of the ability of the virtuous brother, and the virtuous brother will definitely be comparable to the famous generals of the ancients in the future! Then, he was a little worried, "There are only 1,000 men in the two battalions, and there are still a few less." ”

Sun Jie said with a smug face: "Big brother, you don't understand." I don't seek to defeat them, but I go to make trouble for them, burn granaries, rob messengers, and be unprepared, steal camps, and lose their speed when there are too many people. I don't have to bring so many auxiliaries, my eldest brother helps me prepare more mules and horses to carry the baggage, and every time I come back with troops, I can take turns to attack with a replacement of men and horses. The people who stayed behind just helped the eldest brother defend the city. I've fought with Zhang Thief before, and this thief is blindly brutal and not worried. But the thief must not underestimate him, he is the most fierce enemy, the eldest brother must be careful. ”

The two of them had made up their minds and confidently began their respective work.

Don't look at Song Mingyi as just a local four-grade prefect, and Sun Jie is a military general who can't read a few words, but their judgment of the overall situation, and even the response plan formulated, even if it can't be said to be perfect, can be called comprehensive.

In the good news sent to Xue Xiaowen, Song Mingyi attached his and Sun Jie's judgments, of course, in order to prevent falling into the hands of the enemy, he did not say a word about Sun Jie's upcoming guerrilla warfare. Theoretically, this kind of report on military intelligence should be submitted to Li Yuting, the economic strategy of the four provinces, but it is unrealistic, because Anqing Mansion is surrounded by iron buckets, and it is impossible to deliver it at all, but it may fall into the hands of the enemy. So in the name of Sun Jie's report to the imperial court's military department, the two of them copied the military judgment to the governors of Shandong and Henan along the way—on the one hand, these Xinjiang ministers would also cite this content to report to the imperial court respectively; On the other hand, the imperial court must protect the south of Zhili, and the nearest reinforcements are these two provinces, which can be regarded as a greeting in advance so that the two provinces can prepare for a rainy day.
