Chapter 848: Zhang Zhidong said the trilemma

Soon, Zhang Bu led a young man to the camp.

Yishan looked up and secretly praised in his heart.

The young man is about 20 years old, with sharp eyebrows and eyes like stars, shining brightly and handsome. Just this appearance made Yishan can't help but admire.

This person was none other than Zhang Zhidong, who came from Vladivostok.

After he saw Yishan, he stepped forward and saluted without humility or arrogance: "In the lower Zhang Zhidong, meet the general." "Zhang Zhidong's allegiance to Li Zhen is only known to Li Zhen, Peng Yulin, Huang Hu and other henchmen. Even if Duan Que knew that Li Zhen and Zhang Zhidong knew each other, he didn't know the relationship between the two parties, especially Zhang Zhidong did not appear in public, and no one knew the details of Zhang Zhidong.

Therefore, Zhang Zhidong reported his real name and did not change his name. Coupled with Zhang Zhidong's pure northern dialect, Yishan also lowered his vigilance. If it was someone from the south, Yishan would definitely be suspicious.

Yishan rolled his eyes and asked, "Where are you from?" ”

Zhang Zhidong replied: "Zhili Nanpi people! ”

Yishan nodded and continued to ask, "Earlier, you said that you came here to understand the difficulties in General Ben's heart. Tell me, what are the difficulties of General Ben? How to fix it? Yishan doesn't dislike the person in front of him, but he still has to take the school exam.

Zhang Zhidong smiled: "In my opinion, the general currently has a 'trilemma'!" ”

"Oh, which trilemma?"

Zhang Zhidong said something very carefully, Yishan became interested and asked curiously.

Zhang Zhidong was confident and calm, and said loudly: "The first difficulty, the difficulty of food, money, and weapons!" ”

"Go on!" Yishan Road.

Zhang Zhidong said without humility or arrogance: "Now, His Majesty the Emperor is leading troops to attack the little emperor in the south, and if you want to defeat Li Zhen, you need a lot of money, food and weapons. On the emperor's side, a lot of resources are occupied, and once there is food, money, and weapons, the emperor is the first to supply them, and when they are lined up with the generals, they don't know what year or month they went. It is not an easy thing to raise so many soldiers and let them go into battle to kill the enemy! This is the first difficulty that the general is currently facing! ”

"Good, good, that makes sense."

Yishan nodded, his eyes shining.

Zhang Zhidong's words hit Yishan's heart, Yishan sighed again and again, and said helplessly: "Zhang Zhidong, you only know one of them, but you don't know the other." I not only have to support the 30,000 troops under my command, but also the tens of thousands of Russian troops under Muravyov! Weapons, food, and money are scattered like flowing water, and countless people are consumed every day. Alas, the Russian army is still extremely arrogant and deliberately embarrassed me. ”

Yishan sent troops, and the imperial court did not have silver support, and Yishan paid out of his own pocket.

Money is Yishan's heart, he is in tears, and he is helpless to take out the money, and his heart is very uncomfortable. Zhang Zhidong said Yishan's heart, making Yishan feel like a confidant.

In fact, Zhang Zhidong investigated the situation in Yishan in detail.

Zhang Zhidong knew that Yishan loved money like life, was timid like a mouse, and regarded money as life, so the first answer he threw out was a difficult question about money, so that Yishan could accept him in the shortest possible time. Zhang Zhidong won Yishan's favor, raised his index finger and middle finger with his right hand, and continued: "The second problem faced by the general is the Russian army, even if the general is sincere and digs out his heart and lungs, but the Russian army is arrogant and domineering, and there is no one in his eyes, so it is difficult to discuss the issue of attacking Li Zhen together. ”

"Yes!!"

Yishan sighed again, and his eyes lit up when he looked at Zhang Zhidong, as if he had discovered a peerless genius. Yishan was angry in front of Muravyov before, and he was very uncomfortable in his heart. Zhang Zhidong understands Yishan like a confidant, which makes Yishan's heart warm and very comfortable.

Zhang Bu stood beside him, pouting.

He could say these things, but unfortunately he didn't.

Yishan looked at Zhang Zhidong differently and arched his hand: "Mr. Zhang, please continue!" ”

At this moment, Yishan's name for Zhang Zhidong has changed.

Zhang Zhidong smiled slightly and continued: "The Russians are arrogant, this is something that everyone knows, especially when the Russians see us, their eyes are higher than the sky, and they don't look at us properly. His Majesty the Emperor is such a wise man that he has to cede places to the Russians for support, so that the Russians look down on us. ”

Yishan sighed: "Listening to Mr. is better than reading for ten years!" ”

Zhang Zhidong laughed in his heart and said: "The Russians are the second problem, and the third problem faced by the general is the most important problem, how to exterminate Li Zhen!" That's the key. ”

"Please sir teach me!"

Yishan recognized Zhang Zhidong and stood up and saluted respectfully to Zhang Zhidong.

Zhang Zhidong hurriedly hugged Yishan and said, "The general is serious, please sit down." ”

After Yishan sat down, he also let Zhang Zhidong take a seat, and said reverently: "Mr. Zhang, the three problems you mentioned are indeed the problems I am facing at present. Money, weapons, and food, this is a long-standing problem, and if this goes on for a long time, the soldiers of the army will have no food to eat and no weapons to use, so they will be in trouble. Moreover, if we can't cooperate with the Russians, it will be difficult to defeat Li Zhen by relying on us alone. ”

Zhang Zhidong sneered in his heart, thinking to himself that you kid has so much money, will you be short of money and food? Zhang Zhidong smiled and said, "General, it is not difficult to solve these problems. ”

Yishan listened and was very sincere.

Zhang Zhidong said: "Put aside these three questions for the time being. Think about it, what will you get if you defeat Li Zhen? ”

Yishan didn't think about it, and said directly: "Add an official to the knighthood and get the emperor's commendation!" ”

Zhang Zhidong shook his head and said, "That's right, but it's also wrong." ”

"Why?" Yishan asked.

Zhang Bu, who has always despised Zhang Zhidong, also showed curiosity, waiting for Zhang Zhidong to explain.

Zhang Zhidong said unhurriedly: "If you defeat Li Zhen, the emperor will reward you, but after Li Zhen is destroyed, will Muravyov be indifferent?" In my opinion, there is a high probability that Muravyov will attack the general's army and then invade south. The general thought, if such a situation occurs, can you stop it? When the time comes, let alone getting a commendation, it will be good to survive. ”

"Unstoppable!" Yishan answered honestly.

Yishan was shocked into a cold sweat and felt cold all over.

Zhang Bu didn't believe it, and said in a cold voice: "Mr. Zhang, how can you conclude that Muravyov will attack us?" ”

Zhang Zhidong said confidently: "The wolf ambition of the Russians is well known to the world. During the reign of Kangxi, the Russians had eyed the Northeast and sent troops to invade, but they were repelled by Kangxi. From Kangxi to the current emperor, the wolf ambitions of the Russians have never stopped. With the ambitions of the Russians, can they be satisfied with this? I have to guard against it! ”

Zhang Bu snorted and said, "There is no basis for what you say! ”

Yishan's expression was gloomy, and he said, "Zhang Bu, how did you speak, you were rude to Mr., it's too rude." You go out, I'll talk to my husband. ”

The corners of Zhang Bu's mouth twitched, and he opened his mouth to speak.

Zhang Zhidong's expression was sincere, and he said very seriously: "General, the more you argue, the clearer the reasoning, and the clearer the words. Lord Zhang is also for the sake of adults, so don't reprimand Lord Zhang. ”

When Yishan heard this, he said: "Look, look, this is the mind of a wise man." Zhang Bu, learn more from Mr. Zhang. In view of Mr. Zhang's plea, let you sit in here, but did not let you speak, and did not interject, otherwise you would go out by yourself. ”

Zhang Bu stared at Zhang Zhidong angrily, but he was helpless.

Zhang Zhidong saw Zhang Bu's expression, and his heart was slightly cold. He had already thought about how to solve Zhang Bu in his heart, because Zhang Bu was Yishan's henchman and a stumbling block. If he doesn't solve the problem of Zhangbu, it will be difficult for him to use his means.

ps: the second shift; Mr. Zhang appeared on the stage, asking for support!
