Chapter 80: The generals are not in harmony
Koji's psychological feelings are complicated. After winning the battle, there were not many casualties among the soldiers, this is a very happy thing, especially since he is a general, and all the merits have his share, such a thing, happy is right, unhappy is strange. But what? Indeed, he was not happy.
Because this battle was not won by him, Xu Huang wrote the battle report very biased towards him, and this original kindness seemed like charity to him...... Koji Yi does not want such charity.
So Lu Yi ordered someone to write another battle report, which stated that Xu Huang's strategizing, there was no greed for any meritorious deeds, it should be Xu Huang's, all of them were Xu Huang's.
Since Xu Huang threw out the heads of Yuan Shang and Jiang Qi, in addition to the sentence 'We won', there is also a way to inform Lu Yi that all the enemy troops on the road to the south have been swept away by him from the back road, and only 500 cavalry in the camp are left in Jinan State, and they also left the camp and fled south in embarrassment after the army swept away...... In other words, the current three counties of Pingyuan, Le'an, and Jinan have completely fallen into the hands of the Yan family.
After the soldiers occupied Yuan's original camp, they rested on the spot for two days before continuing to march south to meet Yuan's main force. However, immediately after that, he received information from the enemy captives - Yuan Jun and Cao Jun had reached an alliance to attack the Yan clan and take the land of Hebei.
At the same time, there were also bad rumors in the army, saying that General Koji and General Xu had a bad relationship because of their previous exploits.
Such a continuous stream of bad news has made it inevitable that the morale of the military will fluctuate.
This is also a matter of no way, who has been in the army for a long time does not know how proud Lu Yi is, and if Xu Huang's approach is to Jiang Jin, who is also a general, it may be very flattering, but Lu Yi will never eat this set, but it is only right to hate Xu Huang because of this. But after all, this kind of thing has happened, and the soldiers don't dare to say it on the surface, so they can only secretly grasp each other and talk about this thing non-stop, the original intention is to dispel the worries in their hearts, how do they know that in the end, no one will be happy, but even more worried.
Such rumors naturally also reached the ears of the parties, and Xu Huang was extremely disdainful of this. Some people around him asked him, "General, there are rumors in the army that you are at odds with General Koji, don't you feel worried about this?"
Xu Huang was reading at night, holding the scroll and chuckling intently, noncommittal. The cronies on the left and right were in a hurry, and said: "At present, General Koji is the main general, and the war is coming, if we are so evil, can we still survive?" Please General help! ”
"Do you think that General Koji will have a bad relationship with Xu because of his military exploits?" Xu Huang put down the scroll in annoyance, and looked at the cronies on the left and right with pity, as if he often looked at Li Le, Hu Cai and others when he was in the Baibo Army in the past, and said: "General Koji is the main general, and Xu commands the chief general as a general, if he is hated by the general, it is only common sense; But if it's because of the merits of war? General Koji is a general of the imperial court, so don't say such things again in the future! The so-called military situation ......"
As he spoke, Xu Huang no longer looked at the attendants on the left and right, and clasped the scroll and said: "The generals who are good at arranging formations don't need to set up a formation, the enemy army has already been defeated; A good general who is good at using his troops does not need to engage the enemy, and the enemy army can only retreat. ”
Compared with Xu Huang's composure, Lu Yi is different, when he heard that such news was unfavorable to him in the army, he immediately flew into a rage, smashed the case in the tent, pointed to the outside of the tent and scolded Koji Yan: "Who is spreading rumors in the army, it's really damned!" ”
Regardless of whether Lu Yi was satisfied or dissatisfied with Xu Huang's battle report, these things were not something that ordinary soldiers could judge at will. It's okay if it's groundless, but Lu Yi is really a little awkward in his heart...... This makes it even more impossible for a soldier to spread such words in the middle of the army.
Just as Xu Huang thought, Lu Yi's displeasure and disgust for him were completely due to the fact that he did not obey orders and acted without authorization. This has nothing to do with the struggle for military merits, Xu Shu offered him a plan, that is, to defeat Jiang Qi from inside and outside, but Xu Huang took this opportunity to lead his troops to rush nearly a hundred miles and assault Jiang Qi from the rear...... Although the final result was no different, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the casualties of the soldiers were reduced by forty percent, Xu Huang was two hours later than the expected rescue time.
In the middle, whether it is Lu Yi or Koji Yan or even the four thousand elders of the Xiongnu, if there is a problem in any link, the 20,000 army will face a rout. And the result of this is that it is likely that everyone else has been defeated, and Xu Huang will reap the full credit alone.
This is the source of the unhappiness of the regents. This kind of thing has been done by Lu Yi in the past, but no one has ever asked him to be the one who bears the consequences, so this time, he was in a very bad mood.
"Brother, when has this been, you are still holding on to this little thing." Koji Yan sighed, sat in a mess of military tents and sighed: "Most of these messages were unintentionally spread by some of those soldiers, and they haven't figured out whose military uniform they are wearing...... I will deal with this matter, brother, now General Ruoxu has a dirty feeling in his heart, and he lost the battle because of the discord between the generals...... On the king's side, it's hard to explain. ”
At the mention of Yanbei, all the anger in Lu Yi's heart dissipated with the wind. He turned his head and said to Koji: "San Lang, in the past, my brother fought for the king, and most of the time, like General Xu this time, the battle merits were Koji's, and the danger was the king's. ”
Lu Yi smiled as he spoke, smiling and smiling, with a serious look on his face, "In the past, my brother always thought that he had saved the world, and even thought that the throne of the king was pushed by Koji, but this is not the case." Saburo, do you know what the king did in the past? Although he took on the danger, he came to ask Koji how to wave thousands of soldiers like an arm, even if Koji was arrogant in his words, he was never surprised, but he was more tolerant...... So Koji was convinced of the king. To be a general is to win a hundred battles, but a general can defeat a battle, as long as the generals under him are convinced, it is enough. ”
Lu Yi thought about it, even if he couldn't control the big war situation as meticulously as Xu Huang, so what? Yanbei can rule the north for thousands of miles, does it rely on him to be invincible? It's because he can make his subordinates want to be his heart. Lu Yi doesn't need to rule the north, he only needs to command his troops and horses to go south until he gets the head of the Yuan clan to meet Yan Zhongqing's expectations of him, so he doesn't have to spare no effort to buy people's hearts like Yan Bei, as long as he is respected by his generals.
Therefore, on the second day when the rumors in the army were spreading more and more, Lu Yi rode a high-headed horse, prepared a bundle, entered Xu Huang's military village with great fanfare, and stood under the gate to wait for Xu Huang to come out of the tent. ”
Even Xu Huang couldn't help but be moved, walked a few steps and bowed down, and said, "General Koji, this, isn't this a torment!" ”
