Chapter 71: Great Power (5)
After asking Zhang Yue, Shi Le looked at the east and west sides, and was speechless. Zhang Yue knelt on the ground and didn't move slightly, and the more than ten generals lined up like goose wings behind him were all waiting with bated breath, and the guards in the distance also stood with their hands down, not daring to speak nonsense. For a while, there was silence all around.
Shile is a person without a frame in his daily life, and he never values red tape. But with the expansion of power, the division between the leaders of the thieves gradually became clear; What's more, over the years, he led his subordinates to fight in the east and west, and grew from a desperate herdsman to the leader of a powerful military group that overwhelmed the Central Plains. When the commander's brows furrowed, as if thoughtful, almost everyone was afraid to interrupt his train of thought.
This silence lasted for a long time, until Shiler himself awoke from his contemplation. He turned around and saw Zhang Yue kneeling, looked at the people around him, and couldn't help laughing: "What are you guys doing?" They all dare not come out, like clay wooden tires. Have you never fought before, and you are scared? ”
Hearing Shi Le's hearty laughter, the generals immediately felt much more relaxed, and the originally tense atmosphere collapsed in an instant.
Zhang Yue got up and patted the dust, and responded with a smile: "If you want to talk about fighting and fighting, the brothers are afraid that they have not fought three or five hundred battles over the years, how can they be scared?" It's just that at the moment this big war is very important, but we rough people don't understand why we are fighting like this, so many important things must be decided by the general. The general thinks that he is deducing the battle situation, and we dare not disturb it. ”
Since the beginning of the army, Shile has carried out military affairs in consultation with the cronies of the Eighteen Cavalry, and although there are literati in the army, they are only regarded as slaves who serve the pen and ink articles. However, after crossing the river to the south, Shile gradually relied on the staff officers of the "Junzi Battalion" Chinese soldiers headed by Zhang Bin, which made the generals who actually controlled the military force somewhat dissatisfied. Especially in the war around Juancheng, the generals have been fighting so far, and they are even more resentful. Because Shi Le's prestige was too high, the generals did not dare to say much, only Zhang Yue was not only Shi Le's brother-in-law, but also from Qiangqu, and Shi Le was one of the miscellaneous tribes that were plundered and sold to Jizhou by Sima Teng, and he was particularly close to Shi Le, so he dared to complain vaguely.
Shi Le was so keen, he immediately heard the meaning of Zhang Yue's words.
"Be your military judge, don't follow the example of the Jin people!" Shi Le flew up and kicked Zhang Yue lightly, and then raised his voice: "Is Mr. Mengsun here!" Mr. Mengsun! Mr. Mengsun! ”
Zhang Bin and Diao Ying, Cheng Yao and other discipline officials were also on the side, most of these literati were stolen to the thieves in Jizhou, and there was a sense of shame in the face of the ancestors' shame at that time, but after the Shile army went south, it was like a dragon entering the sea, and it was given by the Xiongnu Han executives, so they were secretly happy in their hearts, looking forward to being the founding ministers of the new dynasty. It's a pity that his generation suddenly gained power, but he couldn't get along with the thieves and robbers who were close to Shile, and some had no foundation in the army, so they were often excluded. At this moment, the group was crowded by the generals and the guards of the Hu, intentionally or unintentionally, to the periphery, a hundred and ten paces away from Shile's location.
For such cold treatment, others are unhappy, only Zhang Bin'an is the same. Hearing Shiler's call, he did not appear to be in a hurry, slowly got up and flicked the sleeves of his robe, and walked leisurely from the passage that the guards had left behind. Diao Ying and Cheng Yao trotted to keep up, but were pushed back by the two guards.
The contradiction between civil and military forces naturally couldn't be hidden from Shi Le, but he didn't care, but was happy to see such a situation. The scholar he particularly respected was originally only Zhang Bin. Seeing Zhang Bin approaching, Shi Le waved his hand politely: "Come on, Mr. Mengsun, now that the situation is gradually becoming clear, how to fight this battle, after all, I have to ask Mr. to explain it to you." ”
Dozens of lines of sight suddenly pointed at Zhang Bin like a sharp sword.
And Zhang Bin looked around at everyone, without the slightest fear: "To know how to fight this battle, we must first understand who our enemy is." ”
Zhang Yue said: "Do you still need to ask?" We've been fighting for more than half a year, isn't the enemy the king of the East China Sea? ”
"Yes, the King of the East Sea is indeed the enemy of our vicious fight for most of the past six months. However, at this moment, is our enemy only the King of the East China Sea? ”
Zhang Yue frowned and thought for a while: "A few days ago, there was also Yanzhou Gou Dao General, if you look at it now, it is nothing more than Lu Yao, who commanded the Youji coalition army. ”
Zhang Bin said: "This is just one or two. ”
Zhang Yue patted his thigh and said loudly: "...... Mr. Mengsun, you better say it happily, don't bend around again. ”
Zhang Bin walked slowly, walking in the crowd and said: "When I was young, I tried to talk about wisdom and arithmetic, and I didn't know the ovary, but I hated not meeting someone like Han Gaozu; When he met the general in Jizhou, he knew that there are really heroes in the world who can sweep the world and encompass the four seas. Compared with the generals, the dry bones in the tomb of the king of the East China Sea, the dog of Lu Daoming's household, and the Luoyang court are all vain people...... Even the Xiongnu and Han Kingdoms, hehe, are just some bandits who are crowned by monkeys. ”
Although Shile came from a humble background, his magnificence, talent and talent are outstanding among contemporary figures; The glorious record of invincibility and invincibility made the generals surrender to the ground even earlier, even if the prestige of the inheritance of the Xiongnu Han Kingdom in northern Xinjiang for hundreds of years must be shaken before the soldiers' reverence for Shile. Hearing Zhang Bin's words, he didn't say a word to refute them. When he was nodding his head again and again, he heard Zhang Bin continue: "The general has outstanding ambitions, how can he keep up with mediocre people for a long time? Whether it is the Shogunate of the King of the East China Sea, the Youji Alliance, the Great Jin Dynasty, or the Xiongnu Han Kingdom, they are all our enemies! ”
Under the horrified gaze of all the soldiers, Zhang Bin straightened his arm and clenched his fists heavily: "This battle may be the beginning of our sweeping of the Central Plains and the destruction of all these enemies!" ”
In an instant, the sound of the generals gasping for cold air almost merged into the sound of the wind.
After a long while, someone asked, "What does Mr. Mengsun mean is that in this battle, you have to deal with all these enemies?" ”
"Exactly." Zhang Bin bowed his head.
In the past few days, the continuous victories have made the Central Plains thieves more and more arrogant, and they have become less and less concerned about others. Therefore, when Zhang Bin refuted the King of the East China Sea, Lu Yao and others, all the generals felt that it was reasonable. But it is one thing to pay lip service to it, and when it comes to the actual use of troops in combat, the generals have not been dizzy. Hearing such arrogant words from Zhang Bin's mouth, the generals were suddenly shocked.
After a long while, someone muttered, "This idea is inevitable...... Ahem, Mr. Meng Sun, we have been fighting every day for most of the past half a year, although we have forced Gou Xi away and forced the King of the East China Sea to a desperate position, but our own soldiers are extremely tired, and the grain and materials at hand are also on the verge of exhaustion. In this case, it is okay to defeat the East China Sea King's department, and it is okay to have a decisive battle with Na Lu Yao, but if you are too greedy...... I'm afraid I'm going to burst my teeth! ”
It was Ji Bao who spoke. After Wang Yang's death, Shi Le's cronies and generals were the most stable and resolute, and his words to Zhang Bin were also true.
Zhang Bin chuckled and said: "To win the battle, you must be wise and brave in both civil and military affairs. The victory on the battlefield is won by you; It's up to me to strategize. Now that the strategy has been decided, the war has not yet begun, and I have not yet explained it to you one by one, why should General Ji be in a hurry to question it? ”
I hope to protect the stunned color. He ignored Zhang Bin and bowed directly to Shi Le: "Please also ask the general to teach me." ”
And Shi Le patted Ji Bao's arm lightly and called him by his nickname: "Abao, don't be impatient, listen to Mr. Mengsun." ”
