Zhao Junchen knew how to exercise discretion and understood the principle of going too far and not going too far, so after seeing the change in Huang Shenming's expression, he immediately kept silent and just left Huang Shenming alone to think and work out his emotions.
Zhao Junchen is not afraid that Huang Shenming cannot figure it out. Although Huang Shenming's mind and methods are obviously inferior to the other four Liaodong generals, he is definitely not a fool to have such a status today, so Zhao Junchen believes that he will be able to figure it out.
own future situation.
What's more, there is nothing false about Zhao Junchen's statement.
After this turmoil, whether He Yu still holds the position of commander-in-chief, or any one of Li Zehe, Gan Cheng, and Xu He successfully usurps power, there will no longer be Huang Shenming's position in Liaodong Town in the future.
The reason has nothing to do with Huang Shenming's position or alignment, but because Huang Shenming has proven that he cannot effectively control his troops.
Liaodong Town has always adhered to the principle of law of the jungle and respect for the strong. Weakness is the original sin. If a military attache cannot control his troops, he is a worthless waste. Naturally, such a waste is not qualified to continue to serve as a counselor on the West Road.
The general's position - this position is a fat one. Many people are keeping an eye on it, and it can only be occupied by those who are capable.
As Zhao Junchen expected, Huang Shenming gradually figured this out after being reminded by himself.
Then, Huang Shenming began to feel aggrieved.
Huang Shenming believes that although his various behaviors during this period are a bit unbearable, they are also excusable.
My qualifications and prestige are far inferior to those of the other generals. Many of the military attachés under my command are the old subordinates of the other generals. Faced with the other generals trying to poach them, I can only passively accept them.
What else can be done besides this unreasonable disaster?
But because he was unable to stop the other generals from poaching, his position in Liaodong Town became increasingly embarrassing. He was regarded as a soft persimmon who could be bullied at will, and then he was neglected, disappointed, and alienated from everyone, so
When he was presiding over the situation in the camp, all parties were unwilling to obey orders, causing him to repeatedly hit the wall. Then there were more neglects, disappointments, and betrayal. It can be said that he was trapped in a vicious cycle, but how can he be blamed for this situation?
On your own head?
Seeing Huang Shenming's expression turn pale and red at times, Zhao Junchen knew that the heat was almost over.
So, Zhao Junchen began to add fuel to the fire and asked: "General Huang Shen, have you thought clearly? Where will you go after leaving Liaodong Town? I suggest you go to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, where the oil and water are better than those in Liaodong.
too much!"
Hearing Zhao Junchen's "well-intentioned suggestion", Huang Shenming raised his head and smiled bitterly: "Zhao Gechen, why do you have to make fun of the humble position? There is certainly more oil and water in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but the humble position has no foundation there, how much can you get? What's more?
, the status of the military attachés there is low, and a random civilian official can yell at and point fingers at such a low-ranking military officer, how can it be as free as in Liaodong?"
"But do you think there will still be a place for you in Liaodong Town in the future?"
Zhao Junchen's words immediately made Huang Shenming's face turn red again. He felt extremely aggrieved and his heart was full of indignation, but he had nowhere to vent it.
Later, Zhao Junchen said: "If you really don't want to leave Liaodong Town, there is only one way to go now."
Huang Shenming quickly asked: "Which way?"
Zhao Junchen replied slowly: "That is to try your best to show your value, responsibility, and courage. You will never let anyone neglect you or despise you! Only after you show your courage, those who are still loyal to you will
Only then will the military attachés feel at ease and motivated, and then they will continue to be loyal to you instead of becoming more and more wavering in their stance;
After you have stabilized the loyalty of these people, you will have the opportunity to use suppression and win-over methods to make those military attachés under your command who once betrayed you change their minds... Then, you can regain control of your troops and restore yourself.
value, the position of General West Road will naturally become stable again.
On the other hand, if you are still like you are now, repeatedly hitting the wall but not daring to make a strong response, being despised but still showing a weak attitude... At that time, those military attaches who were still loyal to you will gradually look down on you and think that they are weak.
If you follow you to no avail, sooner or later everyone will betray you!
All in all, if you want to secure your position, ability may not be the most important, but courage and responsibility are absolutely indispensable!”
Hearing what Zhao Junchen said, Huang Shenming's expression became uncertain again.
Huang Shenming believes that Zhao Junchen's suggestion is very reasonable. He must now show courage and a tough image.
However, things like courage and toughness are often bound to offend people.
But Huang Shenming believed that he could not afford to offend anyone at the moment.
In fact, if Huang Shenming had such courage and toughness, he would not have watched other generals poaching him some time ago.
Therefore, Huang Shenming felt trapped between a rock and a hard place.
At this moment, Song Hui, who had just left Qianhu on the West Road, hurriedly returned to Huang Shenming's tent again and reported: "To the general, Ma Zhu, Zhang Zhuang, and Zheng Bolun are trapped in the Forbidden Army camp.
After seeing that we had not responded to them for a long time, the others gradually became impatient and asked us to send them meat and wine immediately, otherwise they would not only not release the Forbidden Army soldiers, but also make bigger troubles.
"
After hearing Song Hui's report, Huang Shenming became increasingly helpless and aggrieved. He felt that he should not have followed Zhao Junchen's advice in the first place and negotiated with Ma Zhu, Zhang Zhuang, Zheng Bolun and others.
There was more trouble.
In the end, Huang Shenming still did not dare to show a strong stance, so he had no choice but to wave his hand and told Song Hui: "That's it, just follow the requirements of Ma Zhu, Zhang Zhuang, Zheng Bolun and others and send them a batch of meat and wine.
that is."
Seeing Huang Shenming's weak reaction, Song Hui sighed silently, but still accepted the order and left.
This time, Huang Shenming also noticed Song Hui's emotions and reactions in time. He deeply felt that he was not far away from the betrayal of his relatives, and he became increasingly suffocated and unwilling.
After Song Hui left, Huang Shenming immediately vented all his anger on Zhao Junchen.
When things have developed to this point, Huang Shenming has been vaguely aware of Zhao Junchen's sinister intentions, and believes that Zhao Junchen deliberately encouraged him to repeatedly run into obstacles.
If Huang Shenming only wanted to stabilize the situation in the camp and the morale of the troops, it would have been better to stay quiet than to move. However, because of Zhao Junchen's suggestions, Huang Shenming made a lot of unnecessary efforts. In the end, he not only repeatedly hit the wall, but also
This performance of repeatedly hitting the wall has further shaken the loyalty of his subordinates and deepened the contempt of all forces in Liaodong Town.
Therefore, it is obvious that Zhao Junchen wants to force Huang Shenming to be tougher next.
After thinking about this, Huang Shenming was filled with resentment and resentment. Naturally, he wanted Zhao Junchen to give him an explanation. Not only did he angrily reprimand Zhao Junchen for his sinister intentions on the spot, but he also threatened that he would not continue to protect Zhao Junchen and would
Hand Zhao Junchen over to He Bandit and the others.
Facing Huang Shenming's anger, Zhao Junchen looked innocent and resolutely refused to acknowledge Huang Shenming's questions and doubts.
And just as Zhao Junchen and Huang Shenming were getting into arguments, bigger and more troubles followed.
Song Hui hurried into the tent again and reported: "Commander Qi, something bad has happened!
After all the forces in the camp saw us sending meat and wine to Ma Zhu, Zhang Zhuang, Zheng Bolun and others, they were all dissatisfied, thinking that they had been neglected and ignored, so they also started asking for wine and meat, and their
The attitude was also very rude, saying that if we were unwilling to meet their demands, they would cause trouble!"
This time, Huang Shenming, who had reached the limit of his endurance, finally broke out completely.
