0730 Conflict of Destiny
Shen Zhezi stood on the riverside wharf, listening to the overseer Li Tao, who had just been rescued by salvage, intermittently telling why he had come here, talking about the sadness, there was no lack of deep regret and annoyance, he struggled to turn over and put his head against Shen Zhezi's feet, and cried bitterly: "Although the sect is arrogant, they feel that they have no disobedience, and they only hope to gather more villagers and come south to help Wang Shi...... The last general left his post without permission and crossed the river without permission, knowing that he deserved to die, and did not dare to beg for his life, so he should have sunk to the bottom of the river on the way, but he was afraid that the town would not know the truth of the slave department, and he would prolong his life, so he hoped that the king would only punish the evil and not involve his family......"
The injured who were rescued before, even if they were still awake, were mostly confused and unclear. As for the specific process of the slave army's murder, the Huainan army can only speculate. But now Li Tao described it so specifically, especially when his hands were cut off, lying on his stomach in a ball of flesh and blood, he said miserably, and many tragic situations seemed to be staged in front of him, making it difficult to ask in detail, and the liver and intestines were devastating for a while!
"General, the thieves torture and kill my villagers like this, especially the wolves! The last general is willing to ask for a war in Huai, even if he is in the field of death, he will kill these villains! ”
Hearing Li Tao's story, the generals' expressions were not lacking in excitement, Shen Yun had already rushed to Shen Zhezi, and roared loudly, his eyes were already faintly cracked, and after the rest of the people heard the sound, they all stepped forward and asked for battle.
was surrounded by the generals to ask for battle, but Shen Zhezi did not respond, just closed his eyes with his hands behind his back and took a deep breath, and only after a long time did he open his eyes and look at the half-crippled Li Tao, and said astringently: "As the commander of the army, you leave your post and cross the river without following the military order, you deserve to die, and no one can save you!" But as a member of my Huainan army, whether life or death, honor or disgrace, we have our own military law standards, and we will not allow the rest to be harmed! The slave who harmed you will be named Zhang Xiong? Very good, your head is temporarily placed on your neck, and after your comrades capture and kill this thief in the future, you will die without regrets! ”
After finishing speaking, Shen Zhezi ordered someone to carry Li Tao down for a little rectification, and at the same time strictly ordered this person to be detained, without military orders, and no one was allowed to enter the meeting.
Hearing Shen Zhezi's arrangement, the generals were also in a complicated mood. This Li Tao violated the military order and took his own humiliation as a result of his own disgrace, and he deserved to die. But the problem is that his people have been so miserable by the slaves that it is a fluke to be able to save their lives and cross the river, and it is emotionally unacceptable to be treated with military law like this. Shen Zhezi's such an arrangement made the generals' minds slightly unblocked.
"You're going to hunt down that slave? The last general is willing to cross the river! Whether his head is washed or not, it will be plucked back for the general! ”
Shen Yun stepped forward again and shouted for battle.
When Shen Zhezi heard this roar, his mood couldn't help but be even worse, and he glanced at Shen Yun angrily, this kid really has no eyes, he wants to add chaos at this moment, does he think that the situation is not chaotic enough!
This is obviously a trick of the slave soldiers to invite the generals to fight, and the other party arrived in the Huai Realm a few days earlier than expected, thinking that it should be because of the battle of the city father and driving the front rangers first, so as to provoke the Huainan army to fight, and want to win in the wilderness. With such an obvious intention, Shen Zhezi believed that it was impossible for the generals not to be aware of it, but the means were too cruel, including himself, after listening to Li Tao's narration, he had an urge to ignore it and just want to fight heartily.
However, since the slave soldiers dare to do this, they must not stop there, and in the field battle, the Huainan army is really weak, once it fights, it will definitely lose more and win less. At that time, not only will they not be able to take revenge, but they will even suffer heavy losses, which will further hurt the morale of the already difficult to maintain.
However, if you stick to avoiding the war, it will be difficult for morale to last long. Shen Zhezi is only glad that the river defense has already been further strengthened, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get close to the waterway, so the situation can be controlled, and the panic will not spread further to the countryside.
If you fight, it will be unfavorable, and if you don't fight, it will hurt morale even more, Shen Zhezi didn't know how to deal with it for a while, but subconsciously ordered that whenever such a situation is discovered, all departments along the Huai must strictly control the news and not spread it outside.
He did not return to Shouchun immediately, but remained at the dock, waiting for feedback from various departments, and at the same time thinking about countermeasures.
Half a day later, Guo Yu, who was originally sitting in Yingkou, personally left the garrison by boat and arrived in Shouchun. He was worried that Shen Zhezi was young and vigorous, and he couldn't stand the insult of the slaves, so he sent the people to fight, and after meeting, he said: "Although the slave army is a newcomer from afar, it has many detached divisions, galloping through the mountains and fields, coming and going without hindrance. Now that Huainan's defense is comprehensive, it is appropriate to hold fast to resist the enemy, and we must not attack short and long, and be greedy for the merits of field warfare. ”
How could I not know this? But if you can know its meaning, you may not be able to keep it! The slaves are so tyrannical and outrageous, if they are not attacked, they will inevitably become even more rampant in the long run! ”
Shen Zhezi said with a sad face, in this half day alone, all the generals in the sub-town have sent envoys or in person, and some of them strongly persuaded Shen Zhezi to defend along the river according to the original plan, and not to go out lightly. And some of them are fiercely asking for war, and their words are not lacking in excitement and indignation.
Whether these people persuade or ask for war, they all have their own good reasons and have reasons why they have to do so. But precisely because they are all right, Shen Zhezi is even more difficult to choose. He was even already thinking about whether to select a group of brave soldiers to cross the river to fight, and take advantage of the slave master to come and attack them, even if he was defeated, he would bite the other party hard and hit their arrogance.
However, when he said this, Guo Yu quickly shook his head in disapproval. He confronted the slave army in Xingyang in his early years, and he had a deep understanding of the tactics of the slave army. If it is rescue, how many armor soldiers will it cost? Our army deeply controls the waterways, which is geographically advantageous; The slave army is also geographically advantageous in field warfare. With a short blow and a long blow, this is to put your life in the hands of others, and you must not act rashly. ”
Shen Zhezi was silent when he heard this, of course he also thought of this, but in addition, there was really no other way to combat the arrogance of the slave army and restore morale.
"In fact, if you want to make the slave army rein, it is not without other ways. Shilong arrogates the system, regards himself as the lord of China, and acts in vain and righteousness, but his army abuses the villagers and slaughters the cold, and if this crime is disclosed to the public, the people's hearts will ...... disintegrate."
Hearing Guo Yu say this, Shen Zhezi's eyes suddenly lit up, this was originally his field of expertise, but it was also because Shi Hu came south to cause him a lot of psychological pressure after all, making him too obsessed with the battle of victory and defeat on the battlefield, and his thinking was a little limited.
Guo Chan's idea sounds a little unrealistic, how can hundreds of thousands of slave troops come from the south, how can they be restrained because of just a matter of discussion? But if we think about it the other way around, if it weren't for the boiling of material discussions and the fact that there were many words about the defeat of slaves, the slave army might not have made such a big move, and the poor country would have come south. If you want to be the master of China, you must bear the natural limitations of this position, and this restriction exists for both Shi Le and Shi Hu.
Shen Zhezi's train of thought was opened, and even if he had some ideas, he was not in a hurry to let Guo Yu return to office, but stayed to think about it first, and at the same time ordered Jiang Yu and the others to come here quickly, and they were also referred to in detail.
In the early afternoon, a crusade was born on the dock. There was nothing else to be careless than to reprimand Shi Le's uncle and nephew for tyranny and unreasonableness, reckless military force, and reckless disregard for human life. These old talks are put aside for the time being, especially adding oil and vinegar to the back, saying that the vanguard of the slave army did not dare to formally engage the Huainan army, but wreaked havoc in the countryside, killed good people and risked their merits, and covered up the essence of their military color and inwardness with their lives in white cloth.
There were different versions of the text, and after the various versions were prepared, Shen Zhezi quickly ordered the navy to carry the text to their respective destinations.
"The slave master usurped his position, and it was unreasonable. With its no way, it attacked the army of the king's righteous path, although its momentum was fierce, it did not get rid of the void, and it was a guinea dog with broken fangs and a wolf's tail. Although he worked hard to reach the border, he did not dare to seek war, wandered in the wilderness, and made false deceit......"
The texts passed to the various departments in the town were mostly preaching that the slaves were strong and inward, and the Huainan army clearly fortified and waited for the slaves, but the slave army was too timid to come to war, so they wandered around the four fields, killing the good and risking the merits to bluff. If they dare to invade the forts in Huaishang, they will definitely be defeated!
"Ji Long's poor, bluff, and deceitful people, although they were ordered by his rebel lord to supervise the army to the south, in fact, he had no will to fight, and he was full of fear, and in the name of labor, he was afraid of war. With millions of people, the name of the hero is false, but in fact, the rats who have no courage, the pigtails who have lost their temperament, and they are afraid that the world will know their treachery, because they are leading the public, sending the dogs and horses of their henchmen, and abusing the countryside to make special achievements. Where it is to Yu Ma Qiu, Zhang Xiong...... They are all deceitful and cowardly! There are no strong men under the slaves, but they make the pigtails live in a good place......
Captain Duma, Marquis Shen of Wujiang, was ordered by the king to prepare for the repair of military armor, and the king's division was divided into the realms of Ru, Ying, Huai, and vortex, and set up a formation to wait for the division without a way. It is not only a battle for the name and the destiny of heaven, but it should be a dignified public and a square teacher, choose the place at the right time, and win the battle with all the loyalty, righteousness and strength! The division of June, guarding the land of the four realms. If Ji Long marks himself as a hero, there is no reason to miss the war! ”
In June, King Xuan's Northern Expedition also. The division of June is the division of the king of Converse's rebellion. Shen Zhezi invited the battle with this, and agreed on the time and place, no matter what Shi Hu thought, he could not ignore the influence of this rise to the level of consciousness, if he still allowed the forward division to wander and wreak havoc in the countryside, it was the practice of the rogue.
Identity is nothing, but once you have it, it's hard to give it up. The uncles and nephews of the Shi family have worked hard for half their lives, and only then have some weather, and if they are still regarded as rogues, it is tantamount to a complete denial of half their life's achievements.
Although the Qianhu Striker has already entered the country, since he is traveling at a light horse, it is naturally difficult to carry too many weapons. Although they can gallop back and forth on land, wherever there is a waterway, it is still a forbidden area for them to set foot in. The Huainan Army's speedboats were speeding through the waves, going straight to the upstream of the Huaishui tributaries, projecting similar inscriptions into the countryside and spreading them everywhere, which was also not something that the Qianhu cavalry could stop.
