Chapter 289: Choosing Destiny
Pull out the mountains and rivers, and the air is overwhelming......
It is undeniable that Lu Zhe liked Xiang Yu more than Liu Bang when he watched the Chu and Han fights, which was a kind of pity and sympathy for the tragic hero from the bystanders. Now that he has become an "actor" himself, he will not have any good feelings for Xiang Yu, and if he has any historical figures, it will also be a competitive mentality.
But? Xiang Yu is only thirteen years old now, and if he wants to become the head of the Xiang family, even if Xiang Liang is finished now, it will not be his turn. In history, Xiang Yu was not the head of the Xiang family after Xiang Liang's death, it was Xiang Yu who became the pillar of the Xiang family after the war of the Qin Army after the Julu War, but the person who took over the position of the head of the Xiang family when Xiang Liang was still not Xiang Yu, but Xiang Le, who was later named Xianyang Jun and King of Martial Arts. It's not how powerful Xiang Le is, but Xiang Le is the third son of Xiang Yan after Xiang Chao and Xiang Liang.
When Lu Zhe thought of Xiang Yu, he had to think of Liu Bang, all the people he sent to Pei County were found, but there was no Liu Bang, and he was very strange in his heart, where did such a person who should have been the founding emperor of a dynasty go.
Liu? He changed his fate after encountering Lu Zhe, and he should have returned to Pei County to continue to be the pavilion chief after sending the prisoners, and continued to be the leading brother in the township who seemed to be idle on the surface, but in fact, he secretly gathered a group of brothers to do businessless business, until Mrs. Lu moved to Zhongyang, Fengyi, and met Lu Pheasant after a "I paid 10,000 yuan", and abandoned Widow Cao after marrying Lu Pheasant, and no longer took his brother to do business.
And then what? Liu Bang has no financial resources after not doing business, in addition to being constantly complained by a group of brothers, and Lu Pheasant has been verbally attacked and troubled by Liu Bang's eldest brother Liu Bo, second brother Liu Zhong, and younger brother Liu Jiao's daughters-in-law in the Liu family.
What kind of environment will raise what kind of people, Liu Bang began to be constantly spurred by Lu Pheasant, Lu Pheasant taught Liu Bang to read and write whenever he had the opportunity, Liu Bang planned to change his mind, and Xiao He, who was the county leader of Pei County, was also secretly helping. However, he was still forced to go to Mangdang Mountain by a conscription, and embarked on a dangerous road that chased the world.
Xiao He, Cao Shen, Zhou Bo, Xiahou Ying, Lu Juan, Guan Ying and other Liu Bang's brothers were all forcibly taken to Nanjun by Lu Zhe......
After Yangzhou County was taken into custody, Fan Hao was always by Liu Bang's side, but the two were unlucky to become part of the Lishan prisoners, and after the Lishan project was stopped, they were taken to the north to build the Great Wall. At this moment, he ran to Guangyang County (Hebei) and mixed with a Yangcheng man named Chen Sheng and a Yangxia man named Wu Guang.
Chen Sheng and Wu Guangma, who were originally soldiers of Yuyang County, Chen Sheng was a tun commander, Wu Guang was a Wu chief, and the Qin army on the border behind was ordered to shrink the old Qin land, and when the two of them led troops from a certain village to return to the team, the date of return was delayed because of a heavy rain, so they simply no longer returned to the Qin army, but stayed in a small valley north of Yishui.
The histories are strikingly similar. It's the same as a missed date, isn't it? However, this time Chen Sheng and Wu Guang didn't have the time to shout anything, "The prince will Xiangning have a kind", they were constantly attacked by the Yan people as the remnants of the Qin army, and less than twenty people remained after taking off the Qin army's standard uniforms. Later, the scholars raised troops, and in less than a month, more than 3,000 people were gathered, and Liu Bang and Fan Hao were two of the more than 3,000 people.
Some people have a choice, some people don't. But no matter whether there is a choice or not, there will always be a stage of its own. The lieutenant who re-led the army back to Hengshan County was a man with the power of choice, and he received two letters on the same day that were enough to change his fate.
One was a military order from Lu Zhe, ordering the lieutenant to leave the necessary defensive forces behind and then lead the army to the nest in Jiujiang County. Assist Su Lie and Shu to cut off the road in Surabaya County, Chu State.
The other is a family letter from his father Gongao, in which he persuaded Gongwei to leave LΓΌ Zhe to serve in the Chu State, and Xiang Liang had already promised the titles and official positions of Marquis of Nanling and Zuo Sima.
Marquis of Nanling, that is to say, as long as the State of Chu kills Lu Zhe, then the newly built Nanling City will be the fief of the Gongwei, and the official position is also such a high-powered position as Zuo Sima of the State of Chu.
Sima is the official position in charge of military power in the state of Chu, and there are left and right Sima as deputies, which is the official position of the court of the state of Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period after the restoration of the state of Chu, and now Xiang Liang is both a general and a Sima, and the previous state of Chu won over Huan Chu to open the extra weight is Zuo Sima and the second general.
Xiang Liang's conditions are very favorable, although the lieutenant is a governor of Hengshan County at this time, but according to Lu Zhe's style, his authority will change at any time, as long as the lieutenant rebels against Lu Zhe and leads troops to attack Nanjun as Xiang Liang requires, then after the state of Chu kills Lu Zhe, the lieutenant can get Nanling City as a fief, and he will also be the Zuo Sima of the new Chu.
Gongao made it very clear in the letter that his father hoped that Gongwei would not forget that he was a Chu person, and that his ancestors were ministers of Chu, and that Gongwei should do what Xiang Lianggong requested, not only to be loyal to Chu but also to strive for Gongwei to become a nobleman.
There are 80,000 soldiers in Hengshan County, and this army has been led by the lieutenant for four months, and it can be said that he has good personal relations with many generals. He is also generous to the army in peacetime, and he also has a lot of prestige in the army under his fairness.
The highest officer of Hengshan County, the co-lieutenant who does not have the name of the governor but has the rights of the governor, because of his words, the ground will shake the ground in Hengshan County, and his heart is completely confused after receiving the letter from home.
On the one hand, his father's strong request, and on the other hand, there is the lord who has been promoted to the grace of Weimo, the battle between Chu and Lu Zhe has reached the most important moment, how should he deal with himself?
Is the co-lieutenant an ambitious man? Yes, there must be! Otherwise, he would not have stood up when he was in Yiling, and then he showed his talents to get Lu Zhe's attention. What kind of ambition is that? It is an upward heart that wants to glorify the ancestors and make their family enjoy glory and wealth.
"The lieutenant general and the lieutenant have a good relationship, and the lieutenant is loved by the soldiers. But...... Friendship and love can make the troops under his command willing to rebel against the lord together, and are they willing to become soldiers of the Chu State? The lieutenant was thinking.
What does it mean to rise together in the end? That is one of the people who built a foundation together from nothing, as long as such a person does not make mistakes, the identity and treatment of the force will not be bad after it really rises, if the force finally settles on the world, it is possible to become a prince and a general or even a king.
Gongwei followed Lu Zhe to create the current foundation, and he is a figure who has military power from beginning to end, he has feelings for the career he founded together through hardships, and he also understands the composition of this force.
"The soldiers in the army are treated a lot by the Lord, and the relatives at home live well in Nanjun, almost everyone has received the favor of the Lord, and the Lord has divided the acres of land some time ago...... "The lieutenant knows too well what Lu Zhe has done since his rise, and all kinds of measures have taken into account the needs of the military and the people, especially the fact that the soldiers can be compensated after they die in battle, it is impossible for a general to lead the army to rebel at all, and there may be a few people to follow if he wants to rebel, But most of the soldiers probably heard that there was going to be a rebellion, and they would cut off the heads of those who wanted to betray.
Chu...... Gongwei is one of the three commanders under Lu Zhe, he is the one who has the right to watch all kinds of information, how can he not know what kind of Chu country is now?
The current state of Chu is not a state of Chu at all, except for a king of Chu named Xiong Xin, the state of Chu is simply the power of the Xiang family.
In addition to having a name, it is fundamentally no different from Lu Zhe's current situation, but Lu Zhe's foreign surname here at least has a bright future, but only the Xiang clan can climb to a high position.
Xiong Xin's name is the king of Chu, but he is actually a puppet, and the court is the Yiyantang of the Xiang family, can such a Chu state be regarded as a Chu state? It's just the coat and tool of the Xiang clan in the name of Chu to compete for the world.
"Commander!"
A voice woke up the lieutenant from his thoughts, and the person who came was the military law Cao in the army, whose single name was Cao, and according to the current custom, it should be called Cao Cao. If you change your official position, you need to change the title on the prefix.
The lieutenant pulled his attention back from his thoughts and asked, "What's the matter?" β
Fa Cao saluted: "The military order has been issued, is it necessary to send French soldiers (i.e., military police) to inspect and supervise the return of soldiers to the camp?" β
A moment of bitterness appeared on the lieutenant's face, but it quickly disappeared. He nodded, "That's exactly how it should be." β
Look, Lu Zhe's military system can not be a word except for Lu Zhe himself, any military order is issued in triplicate, in addition to the commander who leads the army, the military law Cao who supervises military discipline, and the commander (Changshi) who is responsible for logistics and equipment will all get orders with the same content.
If the communist lieutenant wants to rebel, the first person who jumps out to kill will be this now respectful Fa Cao, and Zhang Zuo will immediately burn the equipment and grain, at that time, even if the military law Cao is eliminated, there will be no equipment and food so that the rebels can have the capital to fight for a long time.
In the final analysis, Lu Zhe knew better than most of his time the importance of institutions, and checks and balances are the foundation of a system, and loyalty has always been based on the premise that the cost of betrayal is too great. Of course, it is not that there is no belief in loyalty, but that human feelings are too ethereal, and only the system is eternal.
The rebellion would not succeed without a foundation, but the communist lieutenant could delay the time to lead the army into battle according to Lu Zhe's military orders, and every additional moment of delay in wartime would have uncertain factors that would change the outcome of the entire war.
Sent away the military law Cao and ushered in the palm, the co-captain who was not thinking about official duties struggled incomparably, on the one hand, his father's request, and on the other hand, the lord who had always treated him well and trusted him, what should he do? (To be continued......)
