Chapter 255: Voices of Opposition
The letter contained detailed notes on various situations and how to deal with them, and it was not impossible to issue a military order directly, in short, it was a very appropriate plan.
Of course, there are still some words that have not been written, for example, after Zhu'an is ready to break off, it is bound to fight for enough time for the people to evacuate, for example, Zhu'an is ready to stop the Xiongnu from attacking Wucheng.
It's not that I deliberately hide it, I just don't think it's necessary.
Du Luobin quickly gathered all the soldiers, passed on the order, and instructed everyone to prepare early.
Finally found a way, as if they saw a glimmer of hope in a desperate situation, the soldiers rejoiced, at least they didn't have to sit still, waiting for defeat was not pleasant, let alone such a life-threatening event.
In battle, it is common to abandon the city and retreat at the right time to preserve the combat strength, and for the soldiers, they do not feel that there is anything wrong.
However, the civil servants, who had not been able to figure out a solution, jumped out at this time and objected.
Many times, these scholars always have a bit of self-pride in their bones, or, to put it bluntly, it can be said to be a kind of moderation.
They are the ministers above the court, the promoters of this dynasty, they stand out from the thousands of ordinary people, they are knighted, and they have become high-ranking nobles, and they are looked up to by others.
Therefore, when appropriate, it is good to always make a judgment and give some opinions.
Although they can't think of any good solution when they are in danger, they often go against the trend when others put forward their opinions, and they have to make some different voices to show that they have their own ideas and are not going with the flow and have no master.
However, this will only make them more mediocre.
The good ones are high-winded and bright, and the bad ones are stubborn.
They said, "Why do you want to abandon the city and flee? Is it not possible for us, a great power, to hold a small dock city? Is it because we want to give up the land in the northwest? This must not be the case!"
Du Luobin had a premonition that they wanted to say something, and he only felt a little headache, but the army was not as good as the court, how could they be allowed to dictate him, in order to make the plan go smoothly, he had to explain patiently: "It's not about abandoning the city and running away, it's about evacuating ......."
Before he could finish speaking, the ministers retorted indignantly: "What's the difference? They are all abandoning the city and fleeing, cowardly acts! How can you be a dignified general who can say such unashamed words, which is simply a rat's eye and absurd!"
Du Luobin retorted angrily: "It's better than boasting about the backbone of escaping from Haikou and running away with his tail between his legs!"
The few words of the war of words between you and me, although they are not as treacherous as those in the court, but they were choked by Du Luobin's merciless reply, and several ministers couldn't help blushing and becoming angry, and the words they said became extreme.
"Why did General Du deliberately oppose his subordinates! General Du's remarks inevitably increased the morale of others a little too much, and destroyed his own prestige! I really don't know which way General Du's heart is heading......
"Isn't it that General Du is afraid of the Hun barbarians, so he pretends to make excuses!"
Hearing this, Du Luobin was also moved, and shot back unceremoniously: "Who do you say is afraid? The heart of this general, the heaven and the earth are clear, and he has a clear conscience, and several ministers should not slander people's innocence with empty tongues! Then the Huns want to slaughter the city and force the war, and it is necessary to evacuate the people, but let you say that you are afraid of reversing right and wrong with one mouth!"
The minister who took the lead in opposing replied with a righteous remark, and it was natural -- "The little Xiongnu tribe is only the size of a few cities in the moon, how big can it be? It is simply ridiculous! Abandoning the city and fleeing will damage the face of our big country, and if it is spread out, will it not make the people of the world laugh!"
It was like pouring a basin of cold water on his head, and the raging wind and snow in the northwest didn't make him feel so cold, Du Luobin suddenly felt a little speechless, until now, there are still people who think that the Huns can't become a climate!
Are these people living too comfortably in the hotbed of the imperial capital, or are they in a high position and can't reach the bottom of the well, and don't even have a sense of crisis?
Haven't they seen the horror of war, haven't seen the cruelty of war, and don't even have the slightest sense of crisis?
How can there be a prosperous ruling world, it is the inevitable rule of the empire to eliminate one and the other, immersed in the dream of a great power in the Celestial Empire, the flames of war burned outside the door, and I still feel that it is just a small fight and fireworks of the enemy!
It is because of this idea that Chaoyue is trapped in today's embarrassing situation!
When the catastrophe was approaching, he was still entangled in these inconsequential face issues, and at this moment, he suddenly felt that he had been a little sad.
Why fight?
Who are you working for?
If at that time, Zhu'an really left the northwest and left, would he have to rely on such a group of rabble in the future?
What should they do if they fall into such a situation? What should the people of Wucheng do? What will be the future of the Asahuk Kingdom?
He didn't dare to think deeply.
The shock that welled up in his heart made him a little distracted, and he muttered in defense: "It's all said, it's just evacuation...... Evacuating the people to resettle is not retreating without a fight!"
Those ministers were still unyielding, and continued to bombard Du Luobin with words as a sharp weapon.
"What's the difference? It's an escape!"
"Yes, yes! How could General Du say such a thing? It's simply insulting!"
"General Du, this official used to admire the general's courage and good fighting, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that!"
A few ministers, you blame Du Luobin with a word, he was annoyed by these old fools, he was not a good-tempered person, he was about to fight back, and a few of his soldiers suddenly replied unconvinced: "I'm sorry, it's a shame that our general gave you face, so you talk nonsense!"
"Yes, if you don't know anything, just point the finger, have you ever understood the battle situation? People who eat the emperor's food and don't do anything, they just stand and talk without backache, so many people in Wucheng, how to ensure their safety?"
"When I look at the Huns, you are the fastest runner!"
They retorted unconvinced, and there were countless soldiers behind them who dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and at this time they also set their eyes on those few small soldiers who were in the early stages, so as to turn into strength to support them.
Many of them have been just small soldiers all their lives, without a half-official position, like ants and cannon fodder on the battlefield, no one will care about their life or death, I don't know which war, they will never be able to get up again.
Who would love war, except for ambitious superiors?
These ministers, who were hiding in the rear and staying in the prosperous city-state, were dressed in fine clothes and food, and had a group of slaves, who had never eaten the wind and sand in the northwest, and had never smelled the blood of the battlefield, even if they came to the northwest this time, they were only proud of accompanying the emperor, and they had to come to the northwest, and they did not really want to help the people who were deeply troubled by the war, they hid behind, commanded, and were indifferent to their struggles.
Even if they die in battle, these people will feel that they should be.
It is clear that this is the way to save more people.
But they attacked Du Luobin and mocked them, and anger always accompanied them in difficult situations.
Seeing that even a few small soldiers dared to stand up and argue with them, several ministers were so angry that their faces turned red and white, and some of them couldn't lose their faces.
The minister headed by him shook his sleeves, "Hmph, if you don't go, you won't leave, the old man doesn't want to be this shrinking turtle, the old man vows to coexist with his family and country!"
The rest of the ministers also echoed it, slapping their palms and saying yes, the more they talked, the more righteous and awe-inspiring, as if they were really willing to sacrifice their lives for this war, but they couldn't even think of a solution.
They spoke, as if moved by their own backbone.
It's about to start a mess, and in the end it's just a mess and you can't do anything.
Du Luobin didn't want to delay any longer, so he immediately turned cold, "Please don't forget, this is in the army, and Du only obeys military orders!"
"Who gave the military order? General Wan is still lying on the bed! Could it be that General Du himself thought of it?"
As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of laughter.
There was a faint look of pride between the eyebrows of the other minister, "We who are courtiers can't discuss and make decisions together!"
The leading Wenchen stroked his beard and echoed: "That's right, General Du said, who gave the order?"
Suddenly, someone at the back of the crowd answered.
"It's me. ”
