Chapter 59: The Long Snake (5)
As a general, the most important quality is composure. When the two armies are fighting, the golden drums are sounding in unison, and the flags are covering the sun, the general must have the determination not to fear death in the face of difficulties, and not to refute the crime. When it is, even if there is a heavy burden and anxiety in his heart, it cannot be easily reflected to outsiders. This is what Xunzi said in his article "Parliamentary Soldiers": "In the face of a decisive battle against the enemy, I will know what I know, and I will not doubt it." "Otherwise, it is not enough to command subordinates, stabilize the morale of the army, and deter the enemy.
Shi Le naturally knew this truth, and the years of southern and northern wars had also made him mature a lot. Therefore, although he faced a big battle, he did not show any anxiety in his heart. Previously, I deliberately found a scholar to explain the poems, and it also meant to show calmness to the soldiers and show confidence in victory. But all kinds of uneasy emotions and tremendous pressure cannot be said to exist just because they are forcibly suppressed. In the final analysis, it was because Shi Le did not have the certainty of dealing with Lu Yao.
Fortunately, Mr. Meng Sun is here. No matter what problem these people face, there is always a way. Schler said to himself.
At this moment, a shout came from the front and asked, "Who is it?" ”
Shi Le was stunned for a moment, only to find that the shadows of the trees in front of him were sparse, and there was a simple wooden fence blocking the way. Behind the fence, several soldiers were holding their swords and pressing their swords, standing up vigilantly. It turned out that he had already walked to the ground, and behind the wooden fence was where Zhang Bin was.
"It's me!" Shi Le hurriedly walked a few steps, revealing his face in the moonlight, and then signaled to the armor soldiers and sentries standing everywhere outside the camp tent that they did not need to bow down and salute. When the soldiers opened the wooden fence, he beckoned the leader of the armor soldiers to the front, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Mengsun is sleeping?" ”
At this time, a voice came from inside the camp: "Thank you for the care of the general, I am looking through the file and have not rested yet." General, please come in, please come in. ”
For some reason, hearing this voice, Shi Le immediately felt relieved. He smiled, lifted the curtain and strode in.
Zhang Bin, who has recently been appointed as the right chief of Shile's subordinates, has not yet rested. He was draped in a robe and was flipping through the stacked files on the desk in front of him. There is a light like a bean in the corner of the desk, which can only barely illuminate the area of the desk that is a few feet square. Zhang Bin was thus hidden in the shadows, and Shi Le could only see his slender, dexterous hands, which were sturdy and slender, carefully putting away a few silk scrolls and putting them into the many dossiers piled up on the wooden shelves beside him.
"Sir, it's so dark in this tent, how can you still read the words clearly? Those idiots are really ...... What does it matter if you light a candle in your tent! Schle's brow. The prohibition of indiscriminate lighting of fire and candles in the army was a strict order issued by Shi Le himself, but his subordinates implemented it too strictly, which caused trouble for Zhang Bin.
When he was about to turn around and get the Songming torch he brought, he heard Zhang Bin smile and said: "The army is lurking close to the enemy, so it is appropriate to be cautious." I ask for it at home, and the general doesn't have to mind. ”
Zhang Bin said this, Shi Le was not so embarrassed, the two sat opposite each other in the dim tent, and Shi Le vaguely saw Zhang Bin's thin face. When Zhang Bin moved forward, his eyes were extraordinarily bright and deep under the light, and they seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts.
The two sat opposite each other for a while, and Shi Le said slowly: "Since the beginning of the army, I have often personally participated in the fight on the front line, and I can't tell you how many times I have been in danger and survived; But at that time, I didn't know what hesitation or fear was. Now with 100,000 troops rampant in the Central Plains, killing the generals of the imperial court is like chopping melons and vegetables, but before the war, they often get entangled in some trivial knots in the use of soldiers, but they feel that they are not as happy and hearty as they were back then. ”
His words were vague, but Zhang Bin understood them. It turned out that before the upcoming decisive battle, the general suddenly felt that he could not grasp the overall situation, so he would come to talk to himself at night.
Zhang Bin was just a scholar, and only after defecting to Shile did he personally experience the battle, and when it came to military experience, it was too far behind Shile, who had experienced a hundred battles. But perhaps there is really a genius in the world, and this scholar knows the opportunity and dissects like a stream, so that Shi Le has to rely on his opinion.
Hearing Shi Le's words, Zhang Bin smiled slightly, and did not say anything about Shi Le's thoughts, but said indifferently: "The so-called major affairs of the country of soldiers, the place of death and life, and the law of survival, must not be ignored." The general is cautious when encountering the enemy, which is in line with the art of war. I have seen many generals in my history, and only a person like a general who is both heroic, wise, and able to look at the overall situation can achieve great things together. ”
This compliment came violently, and Shi Le knew that it was a sycophant, but he couldn't help but laugh: "Mr. is too famous, too famous." ”
Zhang Bin followed up with a sentence: "As for the problems that plague the general, his subordinates are not talented, and they can probably guess a thing or two." ”
Zhang Bin's confident demeanor immediately attracted Shi Le's attention: "Oh? Please tell me sir. ”
"On the one hand, the general is worried about the lack of food and straw for our army. Since the rise of the Central Plains Army, the place is dilapidated, ten rooms and nine empty, and most of the original farmland and pavilions are deserted. Our army has been transferred to many counties, and everywhere it goes, the local official and private warehouses will be requisitioned and distributed, otherwise there will be no way to maintain food and drink. But such a levy could not be sustained for a long time, and it was not long before a great famine came. At that time, even if we can capture the hoarding of the King of the East China Sea, we will not be able to supply the entire army. More than 100,000 troops have no food and clothing, and they are in danger of collapse. Today's Xuanhe momentum will come to naught in a blink of an eye. ”
"Exactly!" Shi Le straightened up and pressed his palms on the desk: "Since Mr. Mengsun has already thought of it, what do you think we should do?" ”
"General, in the humble opinion of your subordinates, you don't need to worry about this matter at all." Zhang Bin smiled slightly, but there was a fierce and fierce look in his eyes, which was extremely incongruous with his weak scholarly appearance: "The world of Dajin is so vast, where can't it be used as a place to fight?" Although the Central Plains is dilapidated, Qingxu, Jianghan, Southeast, Hebei, Youyan, and even Guanzhong, where can they not accommodate the army galloping? As long as the army of the shogunate of the king of the East China Sea is defeated, the momentum of our Central Plains heroes will inevitably climb to an unprecedented peak, and with this prestige, the victorious army will be driven to the east, west, north and south. As for these barren states and counties in front of you, you might as well throw them to those who are willing to clean up the mess and let them be anxious...... When the grass in the Central Plains grows taller, it is a good time for us to herd horses! ”
What the two of them said was indeed a problem of grain and straw, but it was not limited to grain. Shile was actually worried that the impending famine would affect his plans to gain a foothold in the Central Plains. Zhang Bin's meaning was to secretly advise Shi Le, hoping that he would not have to stick to one place, but should continue to uphold the long-term tactics and carry out activities on a larger scale, so that he could fully kill and injure the Jin army, and secondly, he would accumulate prestige among various anti-Jin forces with victories again and again.
Shi Le pondered for a moment and bowed slightly: "Mr. said it makes sense, it's just ......"
Zhang Bin interrupted Shi Le's words: "The general hopes to establish a state as soon as possible and gain a solid foundation like the Xiongnu and Han States. There is nothing wrong with this idea, and sooner or later we will have to. However, Liu Yuan, the king of the Han Dynasty, has been famous all over the world for decades, and he called on the Jin army and people in the name of respecting the former Han Dynasty to unify the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Zahu with the prestige of the Xiongnu Dadanyu, so that they can compete with the world in a rugged state. Please ask yourself, how does your prestige compare with that of the Huns? ”
“…… So...... I would like to ask Mr. to make a plan as soon as possible. We will have to discuss the specific direction in the future. Shile was silent for a moment, and then answered in a deep voice. The two people here are extremely decisive personalities, and they are related to the future of hundreds of thousands of thieves in the Central Plains.
These days, Schler is busy with the actual command of the operation, and has little time to think about the longer term. Occasionally, I think more, and I often envy the happiness of the Huns who divided one side and claimed to be the king. Unexpectedly, according to Zhang Bin, even if he won the battle, he would have to run around like the original, which inevitably made him a little depressed. But after all, he was not an ordinary mediocre person, and immediately cheered up: "Sir, let's not go into detail about this matter...... You just said that you guessed the problem that bothered me, what else? ”
Zhang Bin gathered the robe draped diagonally over his shoulders and replied: "Both, the general is worried about the Xiongnu and Han Kingdoms. The relationship between the general and the Xiongnu Han State was a master and subordinate in the eyes of the Xiongnu, but in our eyes they were just allies. Now the generation waved the drum of the strong division to the south, the felt tent looked at each other endlessly, the sound of the cymbal drum shook the heavens and the earth, and there was a tendency to overthrow the Jin Dynasty in one fell swoop. Under such circumstances, if the general struggled to defeat the king of the East China Sea, he was afraid that the Luoyang Jin army would be discouraged because of this. In vain, we pioneered for the Huns, but let the Huns easily take Luoyang. But if you have to show mercy to the East Sea King's subordinates because of this...... Neither the generals under the command of the general, nor the prince of Donglai County and his subordinates could accept this situation of falling short. ”
Shi Le looked at Zhang Bin in a daze for a long time, and sighed deeply: "Mr. is strategizing, and he can find out the chaotic situation, it really deserves to be my Zhang Zifang." But then ......"
The Xiongnu are a powerful nation that has competed with China for thousands of years, and even though they do not have the power to cross thousands of miles in their heyday, they are still enough to deter people like Shi Le who are born in the middle of the Hu. What's more, many generals, including Shi Le and Wang Mi, were given official positions by the Xiongnu, and for several years they have been crisscrossing the Central Plains under the banner of the Xiongnu Han State. Speaking of the contradiction with the Huns, Rao Shile was bold, and he couldn't help but lower his voice: "Is there a good way to deal with it?" ”
"Yes!" Zhang Bin replied categorically: "It is not difficult for the general to try to achieve both. You only need to borrow the power of one person. ”
"Who? Hurry up sir."
Zhang Bin took advantage of the faint light of the lamp and candle to dig into the wooden frame on the side of the case for a long time, and turned out a scroll of silk book: "General, this is the person." ”
The silk book was spread out on the desk, Shi Le stretched out his head to look at it, and his face suddenly turned cold: "Sir, although I am vulgar and unliterate, I have also learned something roughly these days, and I can barely recognize one hundred and ten characters." I happen to remember these two words very well......"
Speaking of which, the faces of the past few painful experiences and Wang Yang and many other henchmen who died in battle seem to reappear in front of him. Shi Le suddenly felt that he was full of frustration and could not vent his anger, so he snatched the silk book with his hand, and tapped the two words that appeared repeatedly on his knuckles, and said angrily: "Lu Yao, I recognize these two words!" He is our great enemy! Archenemy! This man...... How could this man help us? Mr. Mengsun, could it be that you are working too hard these days...... Confused? ”
