Chapter 903: The Way to Take Bribes

Gao Dajie and Yuan Zonghao fought fiercely for more than ten days, in general, Yuan Zonghao had the advantage, although the commander of the Shanhe Army was not Yuan Zonghao at the beginning, but since the founding of the Ming Army, Yuan Zonghao is the soul of the Ming Army, so the soldiers of the Shanhe Army quickly merged with him.

Although under the leadership of Qin Yue, the fighting style of the Shanhe Army is more stable and conservative than that of the Northern Sweeping Army, but this does not prevent the battlefield from fighting.

The general collapse of the army is not that these soldiers themselves found out that something is wrong, most of them are shouted from the other side, for example, your commander has died or run away, and then the soldiers in the army have the strength to look around to see the situation, and when they see that something is wrong, they immediately disperse.

Therefore, Yuan Zonghao as the commander is not too far away from the Shanhe Army, and he can barely do it like an arm, his prestige is still quite high, Jiang Guotai, Ma Jiugong and Wen Ruzhen are willing to listen to him.

In comparison, the situation faced by Gao Dajie is far worse, although he is also with Wu Sangui's cavalry, in terms of prestige is enough in the army, but their thoughts in this army can be mixed, Xia Guoxiang and Hu Guozhu are now divided into two factions, some of the generals in this army are fought with Xia Guoxiang, and some are fought with Hu Guozhu, and now most people know that this Gao Dajie and Xia Guoxiang are one faction, and this Hu Guozhu's people are embarrassed.

They have the mark of Hu Guozhu's faction on their bodies more or less, but Hu Guozhu can only leave 10,000 people to defend the city this time, so all these people follow them out to fight.

First of all, the credit in this army should be nothing to do with them, Gao Dajie will never ask for credit for these people, even if Gao Dajie is selfless, he feels that he can't pass the level of Xia Guoxiang. This second point is even more severe, whether Gao Dajie will treat them as dead soldiers, but let them fight any battle that is ruined, and the chance of survival on this battlefield is much smaller.

Some people quickly found Gao Dajie to explain the situation, saying that they were just working for Da Zhou, and their relationship with Hu Guozhu was average, of course, Gao Dajie couldn't embarrass them, and after exhorting them, they let them go back, as for the silver they took out, they didn't accept it, and in Gao Dajie's opinion, it was not easy for the soldiers in the army, and if they saved some silver and gave it all to themselves, it seemed that they were a little too greedy.

This is the difference between Gao Dajie and Xia Guoxiang, that is, the difference between a military general and a politician, in this case, if you don't accept his money, he will definitely not feel at ease, and even feel that you don't mean to forgive them at all.

After the relationship between the giver and the recipient of the gift has reached a certain point, if the gift is not accepted, there will be a gap in the heart of the giver, because most of these gift-givers are lowly parties, and they will wonder if they have done something to make the boss unhappy, and why they will not accept the gift.

And this is a big reason why it is difficult to prohibit the greed for ink in the officialdom, if you want to do practical things, you have to win over people to do things for you, and the commander of the bare pole Jedi can't do things. But if you win over someone, the official wishes are all false, you have to accept the gift of the person, this is really on the boat, at least that person will feel at ease that you will never harm him, because once you want to hurt him, he can immediately bite back and say that you accepted his gift.

If you really don't accept any gifts, most of them can't give you peace of mind, and you send him to the cell after the front foot is done, who will reason with this.

And Gao Dajie did not accept the silver, which made those who were already not at ease even more uneasy, which was manifested in the fact that they were not resolute enough when carrying out the order on the battlefield, and they always had to consider the consequences of this order, that is, whether this order was an order to send them to death.

There is such a situation on the battlefield, if Gao Dajie can still take advantage of it, then there is a ghost, more than ten days of the Great War Gao Dajie made up of 50,000 soldiers and horses lost more than 10,000, and Yuan Zonghao's Ming army, casualties are about 6,000, and if you continue to fight like this, let alone hit the city of Beijing, it is a good thing to be able to defend it and prevent people from attacking Nanjing City.

I can't think of where the problem is, and the tall festival can only be defended and not attacked, this is not like the high-hanging war-free card said in the later commentary, the war-free card is useless at all, why did you unilaterally declare a truce, who will listen to you. Besides, in this case, don't say it's a war-free card, even if it is a book and a table, it may not be useful for you to hang it out now, Yuan Zonghao is holding back his strength to play under the city of Nanjing to give Zhou Chao a little color to see, and let them understand that Da Ming is not easy to bully.

The defensive formation is relatively conservative play, do not take the initiative to attack, shrink in the military formation, it is really not easy to gnaw him off before the military formation is defeated, the characteristics of this formation are that he retreats if you advance, and he does not advance if you retreat, after all, you hit me next to me, and I don't chase if you run.

Yuan Zonghao has lost his temper after fighting like this for three days, it is easy to say that this kind of play is that Gao Dajie gave up the right to attack in exchange for a smaller casualty rate, if he continues to fight like this, I am afraid that it will not have any effect until the Dragon Boat Festival.

And the capital has been surrounded by Tuhai, so angry that Yuan Zonghao wants to divide his troops to rescue the capital.

But he remembered the will given to him by Cheng Xiaolian, and he would rather kill in Nanjing City than be rescued in Beijing.

Cheng Xiaolian is very aware of the current situation, if Yuan Zonghao wants to take care of Beijing, he will lose his ability to make progress, and it is very likely that he will be taken advantage of by the Zhou Dynasty, and even if he really brings his troops back, it will be impossible to defeat Tuhai for a while.

And another advantage of Yuan Zonghao's leading Shandong is that other generals may take into account that if they can't save the emperor, they will be settled afterwards, but Yuan Zonghao definitely doesn't have this worry, Cheng Xiaolian was brought up by him, not to mention settling accounts with him, and if he is unhappy, he has to find Cheng Xiaolian to settle accounts. This kind of family affection that is beyond the ordinary relationship is definitely Yuan Zonghao's iron book. This is also the reason why the generals of the Shanhe Army are willing to fight with him, it is difficult to say whether they can take advantage of him, and they will definitely not suffer.

Thinking of Cheng Xiaolian's entrustment, Yuan Zonghao was ruthless, and immediately made a decision, the last time Gao Dajie took people in Shandong also used this trick, but Yuan Zonghao was more ruthless than him, and he was going to Nanjing directly, forcing Gao Dajie to have a decisive battle with him, this time he decided to repeat the old trick, after all, I don't believe that you have been cowering there.
