Chapter Seventy-Five: The Strategy of Suppressing Bandits

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Chrysostom Yuyan convened a military meeting, and Kaifeng Context Wu naturally did not have the courage to dare to obstruct it.

For a time, the Renxin Hall of King Zhou's Mansion was very noisy and crowded.

Unconsciously, the crowd in the hall was divided into several factions. The most popular is the local civil and military forces in Henan. In the second place on the left, Henan Governor Gao Mingheng, followed by Su Jing, Zuo Buzheng Liang Bing, Su Zhuang, Su Zhuang, the Supervisor of the Army, and Wu Shi, the prefect, spoke freely and relaxed. In addition, the military attachΓ©s from the south standing behind them, such as Zhang Wurui, Ren Zhen, and Su Jianle, the capital of Kaifeng, were even more imposing. In addition, it was Chen Yongfu, the chief soldier of Henan, who got a seat and spoke next to Wu Shi, without speaking.

The other faction is the supervisor Hou Sui, Wang Qianzhi and Hou Fangyu on the upper left. Although there are few of these people, they talk and laugh with Henan Wenwu and are not alone.

On the contrary, the guests entered the Shandong town in Henan, and after the excitement after the first meeting, it seemed a little rusty. Zhu Cihong sat in the upper left, and Liu Zeqing, Chang Zhilang, Liu Sheng and others behind him were in the column. These young faces were quite dazzling in front of the eyes of a bunch of middle-aged and elderly people.

Only the top two slots are empty. Everyone knows that this is the position of Zhu Gongyu, the king of Zhou, and His Royal Highness the Prince.

After a while, King Zhou walked out from behind the screen, glanced at Zhu Cihong and said, "Yiming." Your Highness has summoned you in, and the Tao is the result of the three victories to ask. ”

Brush Brush Brush ......

Everyone on the field looked at Zhu Cihong with different faces.

For Shandong Town, it is natural to rejoice. The chief official of his own family has been recognized by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, how can this not make people excited and happy?

For Henan Wenwu, there is no special feeling. I only think that as long as this young official who has made great contributions does not make mistakes, he will have a great future in the future.

Hearing this news, Hou Sui and the others suddenly turned pale.

Zhu Cihong got up and saluted King Zhou. Walked in with a relaxed demeanor.

After a while, about a quarter of an hour later, King Zhou came out again, and said with a somewhat heavy face: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just said something, and when he heard about the victory of the battle, he was quite excited for a while. I was feeling a little unwell. Come with me into the inner chamber. ”

As soon as King Zhou said this, everyone suddenly felt up and down again, and they all felt that Zhu Cihong was too capable of tossing. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not feeling well at the moment, and he doesn't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing......

King Zhou opened his mouth like this, and naturally no one objected, and they went in one after another.

Just after entering, Hou Sui had a concerned expression on the prince's face and said, "His Royal Highness the prince is unwell. How will this military council be conducted? ”

King Zhou looked at Hou Sui's eager expression, and naturally knew it in his heart.

Zhu Cihong is the crown prince, generally speaking, it is enough for such a noble person who is noble and young and doesn't know anything to make some meritorious deeds. The real manager has to count on the people below, and the current situation is obviously to count on the overseer, that is, Hou Sui.

Led everyone all the way into the inner room, King Zhou replied to Hou Sui with a faint expression, and said: "Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is unwell, he has special respect for Lord Qin, the supervisor of Shandong Town. This is a military discussion. Of course, it is still presided over by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but it is difficult to speak. Lord Qin will listen quietly to the generations. These, Lone will watch. ”

Hearing this, Hou Sui's face froze.

At this moment, everyone had already entered the house and saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lying on the bed. It's just that the bed is covered with gauze tents, and I can't see the face of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince clearly for a while.

OK. A cadre of civil and military officers did not dare to look directly inside, and bowed their heads one after another to avoid being regarded as rude.

On the edge of the bed, Zhu Cihong looked at everyone, smiling kindly, and his demeanor was very free.

See here. King Zhou also made it to a small chair next to the bedside, and when the chamberlains moved the chairs one after another to sit down for the civil and military cadres who participated in the military conference, he nodded slightly to Zhu Cihong, and said something to the tent, and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that the military conference can begin." Your Royal Highness first asked your lords, where is the difficulty in defending the city in Kaifeng, and where is the thief trapped? ”

After Zhu Gongyu finished speaking, Hou Xun coughed lightly as if he was rushing to answer, and said with a smile: "This matter is naturally as clear as this official." ”

As soon as Hou Sui spoke, Zhu Cihong, who just wanted to speak, suddenly became unable to speak. It's just that this question is related to how to decide the strategic policy in the military discussion, and being answered by Hou Sui like this, Zhu Cihong suddenly felt a little bad in his heart.

Seeing Zhu Cihong frowning slightly, Hou Sui chuckled and said: "The difficulty of defending the city in Kaifeng is not how strong the enemy army is, but whether the officials and soldiers are consistent. You can take a look at the defeat of Zhu Xianzhen, there are those who are unwilling to fight, there are those who resolutely seek war, and there are those who retreat to protect themselves. The generals have different intentions, and the soldiers cannot join forces. Naturally, there is no way to defeat the enemy. Zhu Xianzhen was defeated, and he was mournful. ”

Listening to Hou Sui talk about Zhuxian Town, Chen Yongfu's face tightened, the officers and soldiers in the city at that time did not send troops to cooperate with the armies from all walks of life. Fortunately, Hou Xun has arrived. Obviously, he took care of the face of the local soldiers and horses in Henan.

After Hou Sui finished speaking, he paused slightly, glanced at the audience's expressions, looked at Gao Mingheng and Chen Yongfu's relaxed expressions, and looked at Zhu Cihong's increasingly ugly expressions, and continued with a smile: "Therefore, the difficulty of the thieves lies first in the unity of the officials and soldiers. Right now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in Kaifeng, and he is the generalissimo in charge of the six provinces. As the governor of the military affairs of the three provinces, the minister has already complied with His Majesty's will, anxious to protect the troops of Runing and the troops of Xiangyang Lake, and enter Kaifeng. When the time comes, all the soldiers and horses will gather, and they will all be used by His Highness. At this point, it is no longer difficult to attack and defend with one heart and one mind! ”

Hou Sui's set of words can be described as very powerful. It is not military, but political.

Indeed, it can be said that the core reason for Zhu Xianzhen's defeat is that all the soldiers and horses are not in unison. And Henan Ping's thieves defending the city must also integrate all kinds of soldiers and horses, and they can't pull back their backs, and all parties don't respond.

Now Hou Sui said this, not only seems to be extremely upright, but also throws out his own political purpose.

That is, to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for power, or to authorize. In the name of His Royal Highness the Prince, he commanded the soldiers and horses from all walks of life to aid Kaifeng. Finally, the great cause of suppressing bandits was completed.

After all, thinking about it with Hou Sui, everyone would think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only needs to hang a name to earn credit and save his life. As for the contribution, it can naturally be handed over to the people under him.

What's more, Hou Sui also ordered Hu Dawei and Zuo Liangyu to come to help him? Whoever thinks about it, will also think that Hou Sui, the overseer who can command foreign reinforcements, is the most orthodox commander of Henan Pingjiao, right?

At this time, the bed moved slightly.

Zhu Cihong and Zhu Gongqi both pasted over one after another, and after a long time, Zhu Cihong stood up and looked at everyone: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked the officials what they think." ”

Brush Brush Brush ......

Everyone's eyes looked at Zhu Cihong again. (To be continued......)
