Chapter 360: Anxiety (Part II)
The soldiers approached the mansion where Sima Xin and other Qin generals were located, naturally they did not get orders to come over and surround them, but their dispatch was to escort Lu Zhe to come.
The generals of the Qin department, who were in a state of panic, could make their already uneasy hearts tremble if there was any wind and grass now. They intellectually thought that Lu Zhe would not besiege them, but who could say for sure?
The armor soldier quickly approached the mansion, and when all the Qin generals didn't know how to deal with it, the first soldier who arrived didn't rudely break open the door of the mansion and rush into the mansion as soon as he arrived, but a military marquis stepped forward and patted the door panel, calling the people inside to come out.
"Don't be impatient!" Sima Xin was frightened at first, but later calmed down: "Let Li Liang go to find out the movement." ”
The generals of the Qin department basically knew the friendship between Li Liang and Lu Zhe, and thought that what Sima Xin advocated was a good idea.
Li Liang was naturally not qualified to participate in the negotiation of many generals and schools, and after receiving the signal, he didn't know what was going on, and when he opened the door of the mansion and saw a group of heavily armed red-robed armor soldiers, he couldn't help but be stunned.
The Marquis of Jiashi would not know who Li Liang was, so he informed with a straight face: "The Lord will come later, so that everyone in the palace will prepare to go out to greet him." ”
How could Li Liang not know who the other party was talking about, he beat his chest according to Qin Jun's military salute and responded, "Hey! Turning around and walking back, just past the vestibule, I saw the generals including Sima Xin, Shao Ai, Li Heng, etc. standing in the courtyard, and repeated: "Lu Hou will come in a while, and someone will inform us to prepare to go out." ”
As soon as those words came out, Li Liang obviously saw that the generals seemed to be relieved. When he first came over and saw the generals, everyone's faces were tense.
"Gentlemen, those in armor, go back to the house and unarmour them." Sima Xin's tone was not fast: "Put the sword in the house as well." ”
Now it is obvious that people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, and my fate cannot be in my own hands, so I simply leave my fate to Lu Zhe to decide.
Hearing what Sima Xin said, many generals changed their faces. They are martial artists, and many times they know that they must die and have a spirit of resistance, but just as they wanted to say something, they saw Sima Xin turn around and leave.
"Nest!"
Not only does it refer to the present behavior nest, but it also includes being discarded by the center.
"There will be an order this time, and I will do it." Shao Ai said as he raised his feet and walked towards his house.
Those who remain, look at me, and I look at you. What else? Some people left with expressionless faces, and more sighed before they took a step.
Li Liang didn't understand the situation at all, waiting for all the generals and colonels to leave, he asked a soldier next to him, "What happened?" ”
The soldier said: "There are rumors that Lu Hou is going to transfer all 100,000 troops to the south. Let's consume on the battlefield with Baiyue. ”
"Huh!?" Li Liang was stunned.
The reason why the rumors can work is based on the possibility that the Qin family is very embarrassed under Lu Zhe and is destined not to become Lu Zhe's descendant, and although Lu Zhe still seems to belong to the Qin State on the surface, the Marquis of Lu County and the general of Zhengnan, in fact, he will not obey the orders of the Qin State at all, so the Qin State will inevitably still be at war with Lu Zhe in the future, and it is natural that he will not be trusted.
If you don't have a trusted foundation, you think that anyone will come out soon, right? It was not done to besiege the pit and kill Lu Zhe, so he borrowed Baiyue's hand to consume the Qin army. It can not only achieve Lu Zhe's goal of expanding the territory, but also relieve the trouble of 100,000 Qin troops, and it will not be damaged in terms of reputation, so why not do it?
Not to mention the Qin Jun of the parties. In other words, it sounded like the most feasible plan for Lu Zhe to deal with the 100,000 Qin army, and for a variety of reasons, the rumors almost became a reality.
Seriously speaking, it cannot be said that Lu Zhe did not consume the Qin army by letting the Qin army fight south, but he never thought of killing them all. He divided the removal of the threat of 100,000 Qin troops into multiple steps. What will be adopted will be the strategy of draining their minds and then dividing and co-opting.
Lu Zhe's subordinates have people everywhere, how can they care if they are from the Qin army? In simple terms. He implements pragmatism, and if he can be used by me, he will not look at his background, and if he can't be used by me, he will be killed.
Many people in the Qin Department had speculated about what method Lu Zhe would take, and judging from Lu Zhe's consistent behavior after accepting them, collective killing was one of the most unlikely options, but the rumors broke out too suddenly, and they lost their square inch.
When Lu Zhe came over, Sima Xin and other generals of the Qin department had already left the mansion, and they were divided into two horizontal rows at the level of generals and captains.
Sima Xin was the first to bow down and press his hand on his chest after Lu Zhe came, and then all the generals and colonels also made corresponding movements, shouting in unison: "See the general!" ”
At this time, Lu Zhe had not yet dismounted, he looked at the generals of the Qin Department who were standing in two rows, and swept over to the right number of people at a glance, but all the officers above the rank of lieutenant were there.
Jumping off the horse, Lu Zhe walked towards Sima Xin, who was still bowing and maintaining a saluting posture, and only after walking in did he say "All the kings are exempt from courtesy", and nodded at Sima Xin with a smile, and then walked into the mansion.
Lu Zhe never joked about his safety, and he would not do anything with his safety to show his trust.
To tell the truth, using security to buy people's hearts is a certain amount of security, and it is prudent to build trust with one's own security without any guarantee, and such a superior is not only irresponsible for himself, but also irresponsible for his subordinates, including his subordinates.
After entering the mansion, Lu Zhe walked around and took a look, this mansion is the most orthodox pattern of this era, there are vestibules, front yards, atriums, and backyards, rows of fine houses are naturally set up for servants or guards, wooden two-story attics and the like are built for people with status, and at the same time, the ponds and pavilions unique to the south are naturally also necessary.
"Are you satisfied with such a mansion?" Walking not far from the pavilion, Lu Zhe turned to Sima Xin and the other Qin generals and asked.
The generals were stunned for a moment when asked, they all accompanied Lu Zhe to almost walk through the mansion, and it was the first time Lu Zhe spoke along the way.
Sima Xin saluted and said, "Naturally, I am satisfied." ”
"It's good to be satisfied." Lu Zhe raised his feet and walked to the pavilion, entered the pavilion with a covered shade, and he beckoned to everyone. At this time, he saw Li Liang's figure, seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then greeted with a smile: "Second brother." ”
Second brother? The generals of the Qin Department already knew the relationship between Lu Zhe and Li Liang, but those pro-army armor soldiers didn't know that the armor soldiers present all shifted their eyes to Li Liang with a smile on his face.
Li Conscience, who is full of smiles, is actually very complicated, the current Lu Zhe does not have the shyness and youth when he was in Yangzhou County, whether it is from the walking posture and the confidence in his eyes, Lu Zhe already has the temperament that a superior person should have.
"Li Junhou, since the general has summoned, let's go over together." Sima Xin is happy to see Lu Zhe and Li Liang now, and having Li Liang can make the atmosphere less depressing.
Li Liang was just a person who wanted to get to know Xu Yang at the beginning, and he didn't expect that Lu Zhe would have today's achievements. He was actually very satisfied to be called "second brother" by the lord of the five counties and the leader of hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
Now is not the occasion to reminisce, Lu Zhe also met with Li Liang when he was on the battlefield north of Ye County, and at that time Li Liang was also arranged as an internal response, but like Chen Xuan and Zhao Xian's arrangement, many arrangements were made, and in the end, the situation completely changed when there was no action.
"Gentlemen, please sit down." Lu Zhe raised his hand and drew a circle. Waiting for everyone to sit down before they glanced over one by one. When he arrived, he had already found that the Qin generals had disarmed themselves, and knowing that this group of people understood their situation, then the next conversation would be easy to talk about.
Sima Xin, who was in a sharp turn in his mind, hesitated again and again, sat down and stood up again: "General, are you coming over this time?" ”
Lu Zhe waved his hand and motioned for Sima Xin to sit down.
Sima Xin is not a strong person, and it is difficult to say whether he has the integrity of a martial artist, so Lu Zhe waved his hand and sat down again.
Historically, Sima Xin was actually a person who could easily change his position. To put it mildly, he is a person who understands current affairs. To put it mildly, he is a person who doesn't know what loyalty is and is self-centered.
Actually, who isn't a self-centered person? The difference lies in whether that "self" coincides with the interests of the overall situation and is in line with the interests of the majority.
Lu Zhe didn't care if Sima Xin knew what loyalty was, and he didn't care much about Sima Xin's position. He has only one attitude towards Sima Xin, that is, to stabilize, and if he stabilizes Sima Xin, he can stabilize the 100,000 Qin army to a large extent, and wait for the 100,000 Qin army to be absorbed or consumed, and Sima Xin will become a surviving person who can be kept or not.
Looking around again, Lu Zhe laughed for a while, and said, "All the gentlemen must have heard the rumors in the market?" ”
The meat show is coming! The breathing of the generals of the Qin Department was almost all a meal, and some acquaintances also glanced at each other, but no one spoke, and they all waited for what Lu Zhe would say.
"It stands to reason that there has been a fierce battle between the Qin army and our troops in the north of Ye County, and there will be a gap between the two sides when they have killed and injured each other. In addition, I led Nan County, Hengshan County, Cangwu County, Lujiang County, and Jiujiang County, and there were hundreds of thousands of soldiers under my command, although I was a Qin minister, I did not obey the king's orders. Lu Zhe stopped when he said this, and the Qin generals he saw with his eyes swept over were all nervous.
Can the generals of the Qin Department not be nervous? Everything Lu Zhe said was true, and it was what they had been most entangled and worried about.
Lu Zhe had stopped for a long time and didn't speak, and he didn't seem to have the intention of speaking for the time being, just moved his gaze to the pond not far away.
In the winter season, there is no beautiful scenery in the north and south. Then again, now that there is a fairyland in front of the Qin generals, they definitely don't have the heart to look at it.
As the highest-ranking person in the 100,000 Qin army, Sima Xin could clearly feel that his throat was getting dry, and it was also cool when the wind blew behind him. It was so shocked that his back was full of sweat, not only his back was full of sweat, but also dense beads of sweat appeared on his forehead under the continuous blowing of the cold wind.
