Chapter 68: Unifying Thoughts
The manor was just a small episode, and Shao Xun soon returned to the city, ready to continue training his troops.
But it didn't take long for him, Mi Huang, He Lun, and Wang Bing to receive an order to hurry out of the city to attend an important meeting.
Present were Cao Fu, the military secretary, Dai Yuan, the military counselor, Liu Qia, Zuo Sima, and Wang Cheng, who was engaged in Zhonglang.
Wang Cheng is a newcomer, but being able to participate in this kind of meeting has to say that it has a lot to do with his high birth.
The status of the foursome of the Kingdom Army is not very high, but when it is the time when the warriors are doing things, they naturally want to participate in the meeting, even if it is just to attend.
In addition to the old men of Sima Yue's family, the two old faces of Pan Tao and Yu Yu also appeared.
Sitting next to them were Gou Xi, Shangguan Si, Chen Yi, Cheng Fu, Man Fen and others.
Gou Xi, Chen Yi, and Cheng Fu were all generals of the forbidden army when they backstabbed Sima Yi, and they are still leading troops in the army.
After Sima Yi was captured in the palace, Wang Cheng, Diao Xie, Shangguan Si and others were released. Wang Cheng joined the shogunate as a lieutenant, and Shangguan Si defected to Sima Yue and continued to serve as a general in the forbidden army.
It can be seen that Sima Yue, who is reorganizing the forbidden army, does not dare to arbitrarily install his own people - He Lun and Wang Bing have not gone so far, let alone Shao Xun, who is ranked lower than them.
It can also be analyzed that Sima Yue is far from "controlling" the forbidden army, and is in the stage of "in-depth influence" on the forbidden army.
Man Fen is the grandson of Cao Wei's Taiwei Manzhong. Entering the office with the shadow of the door, he once served as a minister and a stabbing history in Jizhou, and is now a lieutenant of Sili, and is one of the important court officials who Sima Yue has brought over.
They can come to the meeting, and they are basically extremely trusted.
The venue of the conference is relatively special, located on the mountain outside the city, and everyone drinks tea and enjoys the scenery, but also happy.
"It's not like a military discussion, it's more like a party." Shao Xun sat behind Mi Huang and muttered in a low voice.
Mi Huang peeked at it, Sikong was talking and laughing with Cao Fu, and he didn't pay attention to this, so he chuckled and said: "Xiao Langjun, this is the style of the scholar clan, highlighting an elegant character." Think about it, if according to your preference, when the military is discussed, there are many soldiers, swords, guns, swords, halberds, and generals, and Zuo is sitting in a precarious position, with a serious face. When you are tired, eat some dry food on the spot, and then discuss it after eating, is that okay? ”
"Is it better to let loose the wreckage?" Shao Xun looked at Cao Fu, who was sitting beside Sikong, and asked.
In fact, what he wants to say is, isn't it good to be professional?
It's April, and the weather is getting warmer. Cao Fu bared his chest and breasts, half leaning on a piece of bluestone, laughing.
Uncle Cao is over 70 years old, and he is a little obese, and after untying his clothes, the old skin and fat on his belly are layered on top of each other, living like Maitreya Buddha, and his eyes are spicy when he looks at it.
But Sima Yue turned a blind eye and became accustomed to it.
Wei Jinshi people, is that what they do recklessly?
Shao Xun, who had just entered the "upper class", was shocked.
To be honest, he missed the scene when Sima Yue had a meeting in the study before, and everyone was more serious at that time.
"You haven't seen the real wandering skeleton yet." Mi Huang smiled mysteriously: "Get closer to Cao Junsi, when he is old, he likes to carry the latter." The concubines at home are like clouds, and they can't take care of them, so maybe they will be used to entertain you. Among these people here, Tai Ban has been to Cao Shangshu's Mansion, and you can go with him after the meeting and talk more. Cao Shangshu admires you. ”
Shao Xun smiled.
Cao Fu admires him, a soldier who is not "handsome", and most of them still fancy him for being able to fight.
Obediently, the "living fossils" that have lived from the Cao Hong era to the present are different, and Liu Yuan is not as well-informed as him.
"The world is in turmoil, and the old people are becoming rarer. Sometimes, I want to find a place in this mountain, live in seclusion, abandon personnel, and forget about it. Cao Fu shook the pu fan and said with emotion.
"Lone thinks so." Sima Yue laughed and said: "It's a pity that the situation is like this, and I am alone as a descendant of the imperial family, but I have to reluctantly manage this big mess." Alas, when everything is done and the DPRK is clean up, Lone can let go of these cases and retire for the rest of his life. ”
"Sikong is a Yaren." Cao Fu smiled: "A place to live in seclusion, but it can't be too simple. ”
"Lonely doesn't ask for much." Sima Yue waved his hand and said: "Yuan Danlin, Chi with green water, Wu Ji three or four, Zhao Nu five or six, play the piano and sing poems, and die at ease, it is enough." ”
Cao Fu stroked his trembling belly, frowned, and said, "Zhao Nu is ...... in Hebei."
Sima Yue shook his head and smiled.
"You might be able to solve your worries?" Cao Fu looked at everyone and asked.
"What is so difficult about the empty wish?" Director Wang was about to speak, but was preempted by Wang Cheng, only to hear this engaged Zhonglang from a high-ranking family in Taiyuan put down the tea bowl in his hand and quietly listened to the gurgling water and the chirping of birds.
Director Wang wanted to open his mouth again.
Wang Cheng seemed to know that he was going to speak, and spoke: "Since March, Sima Ying has been appointing private individuals, extravagant, and expropriating, which has greatly disappointed the public. ”
Director Wang's rhythm was disrupted, and he held his breath in his chest, depressed.
Wang Cheng continued: "In the previous Luoyang War, which lasted for half a year, there were no less than 70,000 Ye soldiers killed, and tens of thousands of people who died of serious injuries and did not dare to go home. Sima Ying sent 40,000 generals to defend Luoyang, so how many soldiers are there in Hebei that can fight? Besides, Sima Ying's actions have made the Hebei scholars angry, and there are still people who bring their private soldiers to join the army, or help with food and salary? Don't worry, but you can enter the army. ”
I have to admit that Wang Chengfang is just a little pretending, but what he said hit the nail on the head, and it is still a bit level.
The descendants of the Sima family, I don't know what's going on, can still maintain a good character when they are offstage, but once they take power and come to power, most of them will fool around and lose people's hearts.
Perhaps, everything before was pretended, and their nature likes to mess around, there is only one explanation.
The only one who maintains a kind of character from beginning to end to the end may be Sima Zhen, the son of heaven, and his IQ is not enough as always.
After Wang Cheng finished speaking, he flicked the sleeves of his robe, walked straight to Sima Yue's side, picked up the teapot and poured tea for himself, and said with a smile: "Offer a plan to earn a bowl of good tea from the lord, wonderful." ”
Sima Yue didn't care, stroked his palm and smiled.
Director Wang calmed down, the smile on his face brightened, and praised; "It's insightful."
But I thought to myself, what I wanted to say was robbed.
So far, who can't see that Sima Ying is a little arrogant? In fact, he was originally such a person, after winning the superficial victory, he was dazzled by the continuous compliments in the house, and he didn't know what year it was.
After offending the Hebei scholars, the evil consequences will be immediately revealed.
Who will provide you with soldiers?
Who will give you money and food?
Who advises you?
Without the support of the Hebei Shi clan, how can you succeed?
Thinking of this, somehow, he glanced at Shao Xun.
He admits that he was not very happy with the attitude of this person at one time.
It's just a scholar, even if you let loose in front of you, it doesn't matter much. But a small military household, but neither humble nor arrogant, really made him incomprehensible.
But that wouldn't particularly care.
But with the passage of time, this military family actually had a background, and repeatedly performed miraculous feats, relying on the identity of Sikong countrymen, promoted step by step, I heard that now the entire army listens to him, Wang Bing's power has been snatched away.
This made Director Wang very irritable for a while.
But it's just irritation.
The soldiers under Shao Xun's command need to eat, reward, and train, and they consume a lot. Who will finance these consumptions? On the surface, it was issued by the imperial court, but in fact, it was not pulled out of the manor by the family and sent to Luoyang?
He's just a rootless Ping, it's best not to let him take root and keep floating in Luoyang.
Director Wang finished the "psychological massage", which was much more comfortable, and when Wang Cheng finished speaking, the others had not yet spoken, and said: "Lord, the servant thinks that Sima Ying can raise up to seventy or eighty thousand soldiers. Our army only needs to march step by step, press towards Yecheng, gather soldiers and horses from all walks of life, and when the crowd reaches more than 100,000, it will be able to win the battle. ”
Fighting Sima Ying with twice the force, is it stable? Sounds pretty good.
Sima Ying was able to win the Battle of Luoyang, didn't he rely on soldiers?
Now that he has hated the Hebei Shi clan, there will be fewer people who support him, and the money, food, and soldiers are not so sufficient. This battle may be able to replicate Sima Ying's strategy when he fought Luoyang, and it can also consume him to death.
Hearing Director Wang say this, even if Sima Yue wanted to maintain a humble and steady personality, he couldn't help but get excited.
I saw him turn his head to look at Cao Fu and said with a smile: "Wang Jiazi is not only good at poetry, but also has military strategy. Lonely Mao Hong participated in the military, and great things were done. ”
Cao Fu smiled slightly.
Director Wang's ability is really good in the family.
What skills do the family members need most?
It's not a march to fight, that has its own soldiers.
Nor is it to govern the world, and the world does not need them to govern.
What they need is insight into people's hearts, analyze the situation, and win over other families to strengthen their own momentum. If you can do this, you can settle the country and leave a name in the history books.
He has observed Director Wang for a long time, and today he did not reflect his wisdom in this regard, but it did not affect Cao Fu's evaluation of him.
Among the people in the Wang family, Wang Dao should be the first - maybe Wang Yifu doesn't think so, he attaches too much importance to Wang Cheng.
"There is a saying in "Yu Gong": 'Taihang, Heng Mountain, as for the Jieshi, into the sea.' There are also people who say that the thousand peaks are too good, the grass and trees are vervete, and when the sun rises, the clouds are steamed on it, and it is beautiful. Sima Yue became interested, and seemed to want to express his mind: "When Yecheng is broken, Sima Ying will ask for guilt in front of the king, and after the world is peaceful, it will be easy for Lone Taihang to hold a meeting." At that time, all the monarchs must be endowed with poetry, and if there is a good work, the solitary piano and it. ”
"You must not sweep the lord Yaxing."
"The scenery is different, the mountains and rivers are different, and the servants will accompany the king to go and see the beautiful scenery of Taihang."
"When the autumn is high and cool, it must have been in the city. Such beautiful scenery is suitable for climbing the heights to feast and drink, stroking the piano and singing poems, and the servants are willing to participate in this grand event. ”
"Wonderful! Great! Such a grand event is fascinating. Some people even sang poems directly.
I didn't drink alcohol or take drugs, but I was in high spirits, my clothes were open, revealing my breasts full of black hair, and I patted my thighs rhythmically and sang loudly.
Sima Yue burst out laughing.
Shao Xun looked at several soldiers in embarrassment.
What are you calling us to do on this occasion?
Hearing now, they only understood one thing: Sikong had made up his mind to attack Yecheng in the north.
You don't have a big deal with that.
The two kings of Donghai and Chengdu fought sooner or later, which is something that everyone understands.
The Northern Expedition was completed, and I heard that Sikong actively contacted Uncle Fang, which created a lot of momentum. If nothing else, there is still a lot of hope of winning.
The question is, how to play? I haven't mentioned it until now, which is confusing.
Shao Xun drank several bowls of tea one after another, and just as he was holding back his urine and panicking, Sima Yue slowly stood up and glanced at everyone.
The surrounding voices immediately quieted down.
"Today's meeting is just to give you a breath." Sima Yue paced a few steps lightly, walked to the edge of a mountain cliff, looked at the clear spring and flowing water, grass and flowers in the deep valley, and said: "From the beginning of late spring to the end of midsummer, I want to see a fighting army, and then clean Luoyang, and swear to the Northern Expedition." I have made up my mind and will never change it. ”
"No." Everyone responded in unison.
Today, it can be regarded as unifying thinking, which was an indispensable task before the war.
