Wu Junwu and Min Bo, who were the first to arrive, had been waiting for several days. When they heard someone summoning them, they couldn't help but cheer up. They all heard Shu Zhengqing say that there was a young man on top of Daleng. However, when the Han Dynasty was first established,
There were many young people in the high-ranking officials in the court. Even the two important ministers of the cabinet, Wei Zheng and Li Jing, were not very old, so they didn't think too much about it. They actually didn't realize that what the guard said was an audience. Of course,
They were also very nervous, and it was normal for them to make some omissions.
After passing through the quiet camp, a large tent appeared in front of me. At first glance, the tent was no different from other tents, except that it was slightly larger. But if you look closely, you will find that there are people standing guard outside the tent.
The female soldier in red armor surprised all the officials.
Suddenly, Shu Zhengqing saw Daleng and hurriedly raised his hands and said: "I have seen the general!"
Daleng put his hand on the hilt of his sword and just nodded slightly without saying anything. Looking at him, he was clearly the sentry outside the tent. A commander of guards is only qualified to stand guard outside the tent. How amazing is the identity of that young man?
!I am afraid that just a few words can make the difference between life and death. Shu Zhengqing felt that the hair on his back stood up.
The tent was very quiet. There were two people sitting on the ground, a young man and an old man with gray hair. The young man Shu Zhengqing had seen him before, but he did not know the old man. However, the prefect of the three counties was both a scholar and a former court official.
The old officials all knew the old man, and they quickly saluted together and said, "I have met Mr. Yu."
This old man was none other than Yu Shinan. Liu Ziqiu went to the south of the Yangtze River and took only him with him among the important civil and military ministers. On the one hand, this was due to Liu Ziqiu's trust in him, and on the other hand, because Yu Shinan's appointment in the court was only a sinecure.
Being away for a period of time will not affect the operation of the court.
Yu Shinan waved his hand gently and said: "Everyone, please take a seat. I believe you all know why I invite you here."
This time Liu Ziqiu went to the south of the Yangtze River, only some of his most trusted officials knew about it. Even when he left the canal dock in the southern suburbs of Luoyang, he was under martial law by guards. So today, he had no intention of meeting anyone with his true identity, so Yu Shinan acted as his proxy.
Assign tasks, and he seems to be a subordinate or nephew of Yu Shinan. Of course, anyone in the officialdom knows that Yu Shinan is deeply loved by the current emperor. It is not impossible for the emperor to send the commander of the imperial capital as a guard when Yu Shinan travels. A rising tide lifts all boats.
, the young people around Yu Shinan would naturally gain the respect of the commander-in-chief. However, none of these officials had ever met Liu Ziqiu, so this situation did not arouse any suspicion.
Min Bo felt nervous and said hurriedly: "Lord Qi, the general is planning to mobilize troops and horses to attack the two bandits in Dangshan and Yushan soon!"
Yu Shinan nodded: "The bandits in these two mountains have been wreaking havoc for a long time, why did you and others take action today?"
Everyone has already greeted Lu Mingxing and the eight generations of the black Han ancestor in their hearts. You can't have any ideas. You have to provoke the official ship, and it is for such a powerful fleet. Of course, they are angry in their hearts.
, Yu Shinan's words had to be answered. Tan Guoyuan had to grit his teeth and said: "Sir, we have the responsibility to defend the territory. However, we are not strong enough to encircle and suppress it for a long time. And those bandits are often broken into pieces, which makes us exhausted. Although
I try my best, but it doesn’t work.”
"Yu doesn't care what you did in the past." Yu Shinan waved his hand and said, "Yu only has eight words for you, keep the walls strong and clear the fields, and make a camp at every step! You can do it yourself. Yu is here to wait for your good news!"
Yu Shinan is proficient in poetry, but not good at strategy. Liu Ziqiu taught him these eight-character strategies, but if he were to talk any more, the secret would inevitably be revealed, and Liu Ziqiu did not want to reveal his identity, so the meeting could only end in a hurry. Of course,
, Liu Ziqiu also has the purpose of deliberately training the local army. After all, real elite soldiers are tempered on the battlefield. If the soldiers and horses of these three counties can cooperate to fight and eliminate the two groups of bandits in one fell swoop, it will also be a very good thing for their future development.
Opportunity.
Seeing these officials leaving the tent, Yu Shinan wiped his sweat and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, do you think they can succeed?"
Liu Ziqiu smiled and said: "The local army is no longer comparable to the former government soldiers. The equipment and training are excellent. The key is that they have not been in actual combat and the generals lack experience. However, growth always comes at a price. This time, it depends on
How can they put on a good show on their own? If they really can't, it won't be too late for me to take action myself."
…
This is the territory of Liangjun. After a group of people left the big tent, they naturally came to Liangcheng. Wu Junwu welcomed everyone into the county government office, raised his hands and said: "This time is extraordinary, we must completely wipe out the two bandits, otherwise you and I
I can’t even explain it, so I’d like to ask the four generals to come up with some ideas.”
According to Liu Ziqiu's new regulations, the prefect was not allowed to lead troops, so the suppression of bandits could only be completed by the local army and navy of the three counties.
Min Bo glanced at Tan Guoyuan and others, and said in a deep voice: "In the past, we fought independently, which gave the thieves an opportunity. Now we must work together to achieve full success."
Ji Mingliang nodded and said: "What General Min said is absolutely true. Ji believes that if we want to work together, we need to nominate one person to command the troops of the three counties!"
Among the various powers, military power is especially important. None of these commanders of thousands or tens of thousands of troops are willing to give their troops to others to command. What's more, this is a real war.
, if they are not careful, their subordinates will cause a large number of casualties. At that time, they will have no way to explain to their subordinates, and they will not be able to explain to their families. Of course, now is the peaceful period of national unification, even if they control others
The soldiers and horses are only temporary, and these military rights will eventually be returned to others. What troubles them most is that the general will be the unified command. Because power also means responsibility, who will be the unified command, in case of failure,
will take full responsibility.
Min Bo and the others looked at me and I looked at you, but no one said anything. Qiao Wei, however, was relatively quiet. After all, he was just a captain, and as long as he was responsible for the affairs on the canal, he didn't need to think too much.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Quan Tonghua felt anxious and couldn't help but come up with an idea: "Generals, I think it's better to draw lots to decide!"
It is child's play that such a big event has already been decided by lots. But time is tight, and no one can think of any better way. Min Bo gritted his teeth and said: "Okay! If you draw lots, you will draw lots!"
Du Houxin shook his head. He disagreed with this, but he still took a piece of paper and cut it into four parts. He drew circles on three of them and a cross on one. Then he crumpled it into a ball and put it on several desks.
Go up. The atmosphere at the scene immediately became solemn. Min Bo and the other three were staring at several cases but were unwilling to reach out first. Qiao Wei had no choice but to reach out and grab it. Everyone's eyes were fixed on Qiao Wei expectantly. As a result, Qiao Chuan opened
At first glance, there was actually a big cross on it. Since Qiao Wei had already caught the cross, there was no need for the other three to continue. The result was unexpected, a navy commander turned out to be the commander of these armies.
Qiao Wei himself was unwilling to accept such a result, and kept saying: "The general is incompetent, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public, so let's choose someone virtuous."
Ji Mingliang waved his hand and said: "Since this method has been approved by everyone, Ji has no objection. Ji himself and his troops are at the disposal of General Qiao!"
Min Bo and Tan Guoyuan also said in unison: "I am willing to listen to General Qiao's orders!"
In fact, for Min Bo and the other three, it is quite embarrassing to let Qiao Wei serve as unified command. After all, even they have to obey Qiao Wei's dispatch, not to mention that Qiao Wei is only a navy general. Of course, if any of them is allowed to
They may not be convinced if Qiao Wei comes to serve as the commander, because they are both commanders of the local army, and the competition between them is even more exciting. However, since there is no other better choice, it is okay to let Qiao Wei serve as the unified command.
Barely acceptable.
Wu Junwu also advised: "Big things are important, why bother sticking to trivial matters? General Qiao must not refuse!"
Although he was full of reluctance, Qiao Wei could only accept this fact, shook his head repeatedly, and said: "Please give me some advice from the generals when the time comes!"
Du Houxin laughed, clasped his hands and said, "Since no one has an opinion, it's up to General Qiao."
Qiao Wei frowned, and then said after a long while: "These two groups of thieves, Qiao has dealt with them a lot. If we are dealing with Lu Mingxing in Dangshan, as long as the three of us work together, it shouldn't be a problem. It's just the gang in Yushan."
People are in some trouble."
Min Bo nodded and said: "What General Qiao said is true. In fact, Yushan is not big and the terrain is not dangerous. It is not difficult to attack them in Dazhai. It's just that those guys are worse than loaches."
Cunning, before your army arrived, they had already known the news and had already disappeared without a trace. If we want to solve this problem once and for all, I am afraid we will need your help, sir."
Quan Tonghua nodded and said: "Generals, now we are all united in honor and disgrace. If you need Quan's help, just say so!"
Wu Junwu and Du Houxin also echoed incessantly. After all, Yu Shinan entrusted this task to all of them.
Min Bo said in a deep voice: "If we want to eradicate the Yushan bandits, we must first cut off their ears and eyes. Perhaps this is what Mr. Yu means when he asks us to strengthen the walls and clear the country."
If Du Houxin realized something, he pondered: "Are you talking about the people along the canal?"
"That's right!" Qiao Wei waved his hand gently and said loudly, "How could the Yushan gang escape so easily if the common people hadn't tipped off the information? What Qiao means is that if you want to clear out Yushan, you must first clear up both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
All the common people should be arrested first!"
Wu Junwu was taken aback and said repeatedly: "Absolutely not! The more urgent you push, the more counterproductive it will be. Wu thought that he could use the trick!"
