Liu Muzhi sighed softly: "Jinu, jinu, tell me, why is Xile dissatisfied with you and wants to compete with you everywhere?"
Liu Yu's pupils shrank suddenly and he was speechless.
Liu Muzhi looked into Liu Yu's eyes and said sternly: "Actually, you also know that Wen Wu is the first and Wu Wu is the second. They are both capable and ambitious generals who lead troops. Who is willing to succumb to others? It's Wuji. And Ah Shou, if you hadn't sacrificed your life to save them many times on the battlefield before, I wouldn't have given up on you. Now, this reincarnation fate has come to Wang Zhene, Shen Tianzi, Zhu Lingshi and Tan Shao, oh no, I think Tan Daoji of the Tan family may be better, and Meng Huaiyu. These five young men can be said to be the most outstanding among the younger generation of generals. The future Beifu Army coach will be selected from among them, and, They themselves understand this, and have long since begun secretly competing with each other."
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "What do you mean, in the final analysis, the dispute between Shen Tianzi and Wang Zhene is not a temporary war of words, but a fight for supremacy?"
Liu Muzhi nodded: "Yes, they have different origins. They are not like you in the past. They are in the same recruit camp. They eat, live and sleep together, train together, and fight together as the most basic soldiers on the battlefield. This They don't have the feeling of living together and dying together. Wang Zhen'e joined the army as soon as he joined the army and has been by your side to obey orders. However, Shen Tianzi brought thousands of troops to join the army and was used by you as a surprise attack. They have repeatedly made military exploits. They are different from people like Zhu Lingshi, Tan Daoji, and Meng Huaiyu who have followed you for a long time. They are both from outside, so they must compete with each other first. Only by overpowering their opponents can they compete with the other Beifu young generals. Let’s fight again.”
Liu Yu sighed: "Perhaps I have really ignored this. I didn't realize that these young people did not have the brotherhood of training together on the same team like we did back then. Then this problem is a bit serious. However, Zhenwu almost never leads troops, and has always been a soldier by my side, delivering military orders, just like Liu Zhong, why doesn't Shen Tianzi treat Liu Zhong like this?"
Liu Muzhi said with a smile: "Liu Zhong knew you much earlier than Shen Tianzi. Besides, he got along well with the Wang brothers. He was mostly a law enforcement officer in the army, so he was destined to offend many people. No. It is very possible that he can take charge of the Beifu as a law enforcement officer. And, to be honest, Liu Zhong is too obedient to your orders, and his independent command ability is not strong. In other words, he lacks the ability to adapt. During the last battle of Shuiyuan, he just obeyed your orders. Your order is to guard the water source behind, but you don't want to pursue Gongsun Wulou and capture the enemy general like Meng Longfu. Whether it is to exchange for Murong Lan or not, at least it shows one thing, that is, Liu Zhong is a man who obeys orders and obeys orders. This person is not an aggressive general who strives for power. It is unlikely that such a person will occupy the position of commander-in-chief of the Beifu Army."
Liu Yu laughed: "Xiao Zhong is indeed such a person. He is loyal and can execute almost every order of mine perfectly. He never questions the reason." But when he said this, he sighed softly and smiled. Gradually dissipated, "It is precisely because of this that he is too obedient to my will and has no opinions of his own. This is also the case in every war game. Once unexpected situations are encountered, he lacks flexibility, so he is the best executor. It would be most appropriate for him to carry out military orders or complete tasks as a deputy general, but to have him act alone as the commander-in-chief would be beyond his capabilities."
Having said this, Liu Yu took a deep breath: "He is a general, not a handsome man. I think Shen Tianzi and the others have also noticed it, so they will never be against him. However, at the critical moment, Xiao Zhong cannot control his peers. Or someone with a higher level than him, such as Raptor, he went to chase Gongsun Wulou alone, and Xiao Zhong didn't even notice. But Zhen Evil is exactly the opposite of him. Zhen Evil is too assertive and self-righteous, and he ignores my orders. You don’t have to obey. As long as it’s something you’re sure of, you’ll adapt accordingly. Among the five young people you mentioned, the one who suppresses evil is the most prominent. Sometimes, even when I heard that he violated military orders and acted privately, he would He was extremely angry, but after looking at the environment he was in and the choices he made, I secretly praised him, because if I were in his position, I would have made the same choice."
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "Because Wang Zhene is very much like you in terms of his judgment and grasp of the battlefield situation. He is also very much like you in the aspect of going against the superiors' opinions and doing things on his own. No wonder. You like him so much. However, the more you keep Wang Zhene by your side and tolerate his disobedience, the more dissatisfied the other generals will become, especially Shen Tianzi."
"In the past, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, also preferred Ma Su to join the army. He asked him to be his soldier and take him with him. Whenever he discussed the art of war, Ma Di was always clear-headed. So when it came to the crucial battle of Jieliang, Zhuge Liang fought against all opinions. , Ma Di was asked to be the commander-in-chief of the defense. As a result, Ma Di also disobeyed Zhuge Liang's order to camp on the road. He insisted on going up the mountain to defend, but did not know how to ensure the water source. He made a stupid mistake and cut off the enemy's mountains and water. In the end, the soldiers were unable to fight because of thirst. It led to a great defeat and left the eternal regret of beheading Ma Su with tears. Jinu, the current Wang Zhene is your Ma Su."
Liu Yu shook his head and said in a deep voice: "You can't say that. Ma Su only gave him the authority of the head coach because he only talked about rhetoric and had no real combat ability. The generals were dissatisfied and he was eager to show his majesty. He insisted on going up the mountain to defend, which can only be said to be a lack of experience, because Ma Su comes from Jingzhou, a land with abundant rainfall, and did not know that the arid climate in the northwest can go without rain for many days. This is obviously caused by a lack of practical experience."
"It is for this reason that I gave Wang Zhene many opportunities for actual combat. The last time I asked Ah Shou to lead him to attack Muling Pass, it was just a training exercise. I also paid great attention to maintaining the relationship with the generals and would not suddenly He was raised too high. He went on his own during the last attack. I didn't take his credit into account afterwards. Instead, I transferred him back to the Central Army to join the army, just to teach him a lesson. But what you said makes sense. I ignored that the other generals did not have as deep a friendship with him as we did. Some things can be ignored between brothers, but if they are regarded as competitors for the leadership position, that is another matter. The matter between Xile and I , I don’t want it to happen again to the next generation of young people.”
Liu Muzhi sighed: "Actually, what I want to say is that Wang Zhene's insistence on doing his own thing cannot be solved by your beating, and now that Shen Tianzi has openly disagreed with him, it is also It can't be resolved by hitting thirty army sticks each, you'd better..."
Liu Yu waved his hand: "Fat man, I'm sorry, I want to suppress evil, so he has to take charge of it alone."
