Chapter 206: Dark Tide (II)

Zhu Xieyuan waved his hand: "Don't worry, the old man fully believes in your ability." However, you are thinking too shallowly. You're just looking at it from a military perspective. Of course it will be, you can definitely do it, the old man is convinced of this. However, you missed several places, and you listened to the old man talk to you slowly. If as you said, you have leveled the extravagant Chongming in a month and won An Bangyan in half a year, whose credit is this day? Of course, Zhang Yuanping will have some, but others will inevitably say that he is sitting back and enjoying his success, right? The Holy One would have thought the same way. You know, the old man doesn't really want to take credit, but you are really the general that the old man single-handedly promoted when he guarded the river, and every head you handed over, every village you recovered, and every credit you set up, there is the shadow of the old man behind you, and no one can erase it. Will Zhang Yuanping be willing? A few days ago, I read the Di newspaper, although it was written that it was a great victory, but between the lines, a discerning person could see that Zhang Hu had already caused a mess of Shaanxi Province and Shaanxi Xingdu Division! You won't remember how the thief escaped, right? Thousands of miles away in the imperial court, there are people who don't want you to take all the credit alone, Zhang Yuanping came to Sichuan, can he willingly watch this barbaric great achievement being taken by the old man? ”

"Let's move on to Zhang Hu. The old man returns to his hometown to guard the system, and there will always be a day when it ends. The old man estimated that no one in the country would really risk turning the province into a blank slate to fight with him - it was written in black and white in the newspaper, all of them were 'head-on attacks, bloody battles, great victories, and bandits fled without a trace'! What is the subtext? The city is not lost, the thieves are gone, and the scourge is none of my business! Everyone knows what the truth is, but they can't be investigated, they have to turn a blind eye and fool the past. In the end, when you put down the chaos in Hao'an, the court will always transfer you to suppress him. Huguang's appeased surname Guan is even more of a cannon battle that will explode when I don't know when. For such a long time, he has grown fat and strong. Now I think he has smoothed out the hairs of the entire Huguang officialdom, so everyone is safe. But sooner or later, there will be people in the court who will be red-eyed, and then there will be branches, if it is really as the old man expected, in case he is forced to be in a hurry...... Well, with the temperament of those people, they must have pushed him into a hurry—and I have to call you to go! Who made you great? The example of Liaodong is there: the same thing was messed up, Wang Xiaoqian is a fool, so he is not to blame, although he stabbed Lou Zi and Xiong Heizi with great ability, so the responsibility is all on his head, although Liaodong has a fiasco from losing Guangning, and the fall of Guangning is really not to blame him! Da Ming is this rule. At that time, the old man's worries are almost full, and the saint is likely to call the old man to supervise again. This surnamed Guan is no more than extravagant Zhang Hu, who dares to kill the vassal king without blinking an eye when he is in chaos, but he can get along with Huguang officialdom very happily, this is the real rival! The old man supervises you, you are the main general, and if you lose, our grandfather and son will die together, if you win...... All the credit has been taken by the two of us, what do you say others will think, say, and do? ”

"That'...... The kid ......, "Sun Jie doesn't know how to answer Zhu Xieyuan's words at all.

"Zhang Yuanping can bargain with the saint, can he not know these shallow truths? Therefore, he will definitely find all kinds of reasons to ask you to quit. Zhu Xieyuan said coldly.

"That'...... The kid invited himself to fight the thief first! Anyway, the luxury thieves have even lost their nests, and they can't recover the climate for a year and a half. The kid killed the thief first, and then he could still kill him if he came back! When the kid destroys An Bangyan again, the adult is almost back to the court, you can take the kid to meet Guan Shengyun again! I am confused about what you said, you must have a way, the boy listens to the adult, and teaches the boy how to be a good child. Sun Jie said angrily.

"Absolutely not!" Zhu Xieyuan said categorically, "Zhang Yuanping won't let you go, don't even mention this matter!" Otherwise, he will feel that you are resistant to him: the old man is here, you will win all the battles and win all the way, and the old man will not want to stay in Sichuan Province for a day if he leaves you? That really offended him! Quietly make a few stumbling blocks for you, deduct some money and food today, send some people tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow some state officials will write to you to set up arson and disturb the people...... Naturally, the saint didn't ask once or twice, but the three of them became tigers, and there were too many people to say one thing, and the saint would inevitably have a small knot in his heart...... After a long time, you will not have a good time. The important ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee, which one is not a protégé of friends all over the world? To make it convenient for you is to find a big opponent for yourself out of thin air and make a big enemy, what do people want? There is no need to deliberately make things difficult for you, do everything in a business, pick a few small faults in the writing, and drag it out for a while, then you will find that you are covered with an invisible snare around you, which cannot be seen, broken, torn, and full of grievances but unable to say a word. ”

"Ah, this ......" Sun Jie, who had never been afraid in the face of the battlefield of the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, listened to Zhu Xieyuan's eloquent words, and a deep chill arose in his heart, and he couldn't help but shiver all over.

"Don't worry. The old man thought, he will transfer you back to Chengdu as soon as possible, and no one can say anything about the reason of 'understanding the military situation'. Then, he'll tell you to wait. You can rest assured that your military salaries and materials will be safe, and they will be fully guaranteed, only a little more. On the one hand, he is afraid that the luxury thieves will come back, so he has to keep you, and he will never let you go. If you insist on leaving, even if you are not controlled by him, he will not be able to control you, then you will tear your face and create a strong enemy for yourself, and you will be struggling in the future; On the other hand, he wants to envelop you, and you and your brothers will have a very comfortable life. He will also appease the lord of Luo Zhai. General Luo Shen is simple on the outside, but in fact, he is smarter than you in his heart, and I am not worried about him. Your sister-in-law is estimated to return to Shili soon, and Zhang Yuanping will also ask her for credit, and the title of a deputy general can almost be confirmed. The old man originally wanted to calm the extravagance and ask her to invite the deputy general, and then calm the chaos and invite her to invite the general soldier, so it's okay, a good person teaches Zhang Yuanping to do it, so that he won't have any trouble on Shi Yan's side. I have already talked to her a few words about these things just now, and she understands them completely. ”

Hearing this, Sun Jie was a little unconvinced, and interjected: "The boy who heard these things about the adults is indeed reasonable, but the kid is still confused, and the sister-in-law is just that, will Brother Luo understand better than the kid?" The kid was a little unconvinced. ”

Zhu Xieyuan smiled: "Don't you think that they are not Han, so they don't know as much as you." You are indeed smart, and when it comes to fighting, you are the most powerful man ever seen. However, whether it is Shui Naozhai or Shi Li, they are the leaders of the ruling party. No matter how big or small, as long as you are in charge, you must know the art of balance, and these things, like your ability to fight against the enemy, are trained. Don't interrupt, listen to the old man. ”

"After a while, this matter is almost over, and if Extravagant Chongming or An Bangyan make things big again, well, it will definitely be, it won't be, 'the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop' - then the old man will have a reputation of 'eliminating evil'...... Don't stare, remember, no one will really talk to you about anything, and no one will mention who told you to go back to Chengdu - how long has it been since Zhang Hu was released? Right? The old man doesn't care, the return system is not much of a threat to them, it's just an excuse, and no one really wants to get along with the old man - heh, the old man also has a lot of friends! Then I will ask you to quell the rebellion, and he will be able to do it alone. The old man is most at ease, but he is afraid that you can't help it, and you have to find a fight. Remember, no matter what, you have to hold your breath! Hold back, not only for yourself, but also for the court! ”

"But, but what innocent are the people? If there is chaos again, many more people will die, thousands of lives! Sun Jie was a little anxious.

"Alas!" Zhu Xieyuan sighed, "That's what I said, and that's how it is." But if everyone thinks so, where will there be Zhang Hu and Guan Shengyun? Isn't it good for Luxury Chongming and An Bangyan to be their soil emperors happily, is it true that they are all putting a good life on their own, but they want to cause trouble to the Ming Dynasty and cause themselves to die and annihilate the monstrous disaster? ”

Sun Jie was speechless.

"By the way, these two people will fall into your hands in the future, you had better kill them with a knife, and transport their bodies back to the capital to ask for merit. If they were captured, they would not suffer from a thousand swords...... Although their sins are unforgivable, in private, they cannot be blamed entirely, and each of them has a real last resort. ”

"Well, don't worry, my lord, the kid has written it down."

"Let's go back to Liaodong, the old man just gave you an example for you to learn from in the future. Xiong Kuroko has a stinky mouth, his knowledge is not bad, and his ideas are very good, and the old man thinks so. The best strategy is to defend instead of attacking, defend Shanhaiguan and the side wall, and don't take care of those wild boar skins. From time to time, the general Mao soldiers of Phi Island made some trouble for them, burning a fortress today, and killing a few rangers tomorrow, so that they could not live in peace at any time. Do you think, there hasn't been much rain in the north in recent years, don't say Liaodong, that is, there are many victims in Gyeonggi, Luyu and Henan, and how many grains can be harvested in the bitter cold land outside the Guan? As long as they don't care about them, it won't be long before they have to go into the mountains to gnaw the bark, and when the bark is gone, will there be a second way but to starve to death? ”

"It's a pity that this can't be done, because too many people in the DPRK and China want to make meritorious contributions. If you don't fight, you can't say it! What kind of heavenly soldiers, although far away, will be punished, destroy this dynasty food, these words are so powerful! Maybe you can't beat them? Who dares to say this! The dignified heaven is in the upper state, but you can't beat the barbarians? Whoever says this should be punished in his heart! Who cares if you're telling the truth or not! Then it's a crackdown. Hit, hit hard, and solve it once and for all. This is the reason why Xiong Kurozi wants to adjust the nine-sided elite. But it costs money like this, does the court have so much money? No! According to Xiong Heizi's idea, it is not enough to give him the whole year of Daming's field endowment, don't say that the whole year, three years of field endowment are not enough! For three years, what do civil and military officials eat and drink? Except for Liaodong, what do you eat and drink in the military towns in various places? Can you raze the building and not to mention, everyone starved to death first! So this one is definitely not a no-no. ”

"So someone proposed, 'Liao people guard Liao soil', this saves money. Recruit displaced people, build the fortress all the way, and fight every step of the way. Sounds like a good idea? The current emperor Sun Gaoyang put it forward. Lao Sun is indeed dedicated to the country, but he is still stupid to read himself by reading - you have tuned the fields and collected grain, won't the slaves come over to rob it? How could a newly recruited farmer be an opponent of such a robber? You said that if you train the army to protect you, the army will always have to eat food and pay you, right? In the same way, Jiannu will come to rob it! So we keep stockpiling grain, keep building fortresses, and every time you are almost ready, the slaves will come and grab it! The troops were scattered and reorganized, and the peasants escaped with their lives and were driven back to continue farming, and then the slaves were robbed again, defeated, fled, rebuilt, and robbed, and so on...... Is this to regain the land of Liao? This is obviously to send supplies to Jiannu and help them sharpen their knives and train their soldiers! The old slave chieftain Nuer Hachi, known as thirteen pairs of armor, is now wearing nearly 10,000 armors, where did he get so much iron armor? It's not all sent by us! As a result, the more Jiannu fought, the more confident he became, and the more the Liaodong soldiers fought, the more frightened they became! If you lose, blame the equipment for not being good, you send more and better equipment, and in a blink of an eye, you were robbed by Jiannu again, and they continued to reach out to you! You see those scholars from poor backgrounds, who have no money to buy paper and pens and draw on the ground with a wooden stick, what about the rich people who are croaking in the back of books? Today you say that ink is not good, tomorrow you say that inkstone is not good, you have prepared everything for them, and you still can't pass the test! The principle is the same. We have Huguang and Jiangnan, and we will continue to send a large number of materials to Jiannu, and feed them more and more fat! Why doesn't the old man want to share his worries for the court? has been on the book many times, but it has been rolled back by the turbulent court. I thought that when the Miao chaos was calmed this time, with this great achievement, the qi would be a little stronger, and then we would go to fight Zhang Hu! After pacifying the thief, the old man went out and asked himself to pass through Liaodong, and asked you to give Jiannu to the old man first, Mojiao They thought that I had no one in the Ming Dynasty, and then closed the gate of Shanhaiguan, or it wouldn't be long before Jiannu would have to become a savage! With this great military might, the old man will mediate again, and Guan Shengyun may not dare to act rashly. After more than ten or twenty years, his elite soldiers and fierce generals are also old, and the children who grew up in the safe nest will not be able to make much waves. In this way, if you don't say anything, you can ensure that I will be fine for 50 years...... What a pity! ”

Sun Jie was deeply moved by Master Zhu's sincerity in becoming a country, and he had a thousand words in his chest, but he didn't know what to say, so he bowed deeply and replied: "My lord! ”

Zhu Xieyuan thought for a moment, then suddenly straightened up his rickety chest and said, "You leave a battalion of soldiers for the old man, and the old man will look at Yongning for you for two days." Early tomorrow morning, you and Deputy General Qin and General Luo Shen will go to fight the universal institute. You beat the old man so hard that the extravagant thief hurts to the bones! Then move all the people there back to Yongning, and set the fire to the ground - the old man estimates that the messenger who told you to return to Chengdu should arrive the day after tomorrow at the latest. Since we can't completely destroy the thief, let him spend as much time as possible to recuperate, so that maybe there will be fewer deaths in the future. The old man gave you three days, and after three days you will all come back, each to his own house. ”

"The boy obeys."
