"The round chisel is square and the chisel is square. I know that it is discordant and difficult to enter." [Nine Discriminations]
"I don't dare!" This is a big hat, and no one dares to accept it.
Wang Bin snorted softly: "And you, Zhang Shuwei, our Northern Army has been guarding you all the way, guarding the go jiā ā qá, what do you mean by escorting grain and grass!"
"I was so anxious that I uttered nonsense! I hope you will forgive me!" Zhang Meng couldn't help cursing his own temper. He actually dared to say anything. He hurriedly paused and said: "My subordinate means:
, the Northern Army is no worse than their Southern Army. In this battle, our Northern Army should make a difference and should not just watch from behind."
Although Wang Bin was not good at military affairs, he did not even know how to organize troops and set up camps. In the past, although he was also in charge of the Zhongbao Lieutenant, the specific affairs were handed over to Zhang Liao and others for assistance at that time. Even so,
Wang Bin still has strong prestige in the Northern Army. This prestige is not obtained by convincing the generals with his military strategy and bravery, but by his unique personality charm and governance methods.
Of course, this is also inseparable from his identity as a maternal relative.
"Really?" Wang Bin smiled but didn't smile. He looked at the other captains and said, "What do you mean?"
Gao Shun, the lieutenant of the Zhongbao School, said: "The use of troops and the management of the army all depend on your Majesty's decision. Your subordinates do not dare to speak nonsense and only obey orders."
Tian Chou, the new Yue Cavalry Captain who succeeded Zhang Liao, had just been transferred from the post of Yulin Cavalry Captain of the Confederate Army and had not yet had time to integrate into the new environment. Therefore, in the eyes of many Northern Army generals, he was still half a Confederate soldier. At this time,
He felt that his status was embarrassing, and he did not dare to show his face. He simply responded: "My subordinate seconded the proposal."
Zhang Meng is the younger brother of Zhang Chang, the young master, and he has a close relationship with Wang Bin. In the Northern Army, Wang Bin has always been the leader. He thought that relying on his relationship with Wang Bin, he would be able to take over the middle base.
Colonel, and even the position of Lieutenant Colonel of the Northern Army that Wang Bin would leave in the future. But who knew that Gao Shun's airborne landing broke his fantasy, which made him feel dissatisfied all the time, and now he was speaking indiscriminately, but he was not angry.
Said: "Someone has finally fought the first battle, how can he worry that this battle will end in vain?"
"Speaking of which, didn't Zhang Jun also fight in the first battle?" Shesheng Colonel Jujun and Gao Shun had the same temperament. At this time, they responded tit-for-tat and said: "Isn't losing enough?"
"What do you mean?" Zhang Meng immediately asked angrily as someone revealed a new scar.
Although Ju Jun is younger than Zhang Meng, and his background in the military is not as great as that of Zhang Meng, his upright nature is not afraid of him at all: "The country has its own rules for employing people and doing things. Who should be sent to fight and what kind of war should be fought?"
Is it something that we, my ministers, can speculate on? Is it true that only Hedong is in chaos at this time? We don’t have a longer view!”
"Don't just say these words in Ju Shesheng." Wei Jie interjected leisurely: "Who can be used, who can't be used, and who is behind who, the country must be aware of it, otherwise, why should we favor one over the other in this battle? The prince
But my dear uncle to the country, our Northern Army has princes as our commanders, so we will not be weak to Gaishun and the others no matter what."
Ju Jun's expression changed. Yuan Shao, the shepherd of Jizhou, was supervising the army. The fact that Fenwu General Ju Shuo was his uncle was not a secret in the entire northern and southern armies.
I will take this matter to heart. Besides, Ju Jun has never been the kind of person who is worried about slander and fear of ridicule. But at this time, Wei Jie's ill-intentioned hint seemed to be blaming him for the Northern Army's inability to fight.
?
"I have no shame in my country, why do you always humiliate me!" He stood up suddenly and couldn't help but touch the hilt of the sword, as if he could pull out the sword at any time to clear his name. As for how to clear his name, there are countless precedents of his ancestors.
.
Wang Bin hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him and said hurriedly: "Don't act out of pride!"
Gao Shun, who was next to him, took advantage of his unpreparedness and immediately stepped forward to seize Ju Jun's sword.
"We are all members of the Northern Army. How can there be any reason to fight within the wall? If this spreads out, wouldn't it make people laugh?" Wang Bin looked at Wei Jie angrily, frowned and said, "Wei Qiqing, you are also a member of the Northern Army.
You are an old man, why don’t you know the importance?”
Wei Jie's face turned red. As a disciple of the great scholar Liu Kuan, he was a famous scholar of the Third Auxiliary many years ago. He served as a captain in the Huya Camp under Gai Xun, and later joined the Northern Army. He was very experienced. At that time, Wang Yun
At that time, in order to resist the captain Wang Qi who Wang Yun had installed in the Northern Army, he and Wang Bin cooperated quite well. However, after Wang Qi was dismissed, he began to rely on his seniority in the Northern Army. Relying on his qualifications and reputation,
Sometimes even Wang Bin has to respect him.
At this time, Wang Bin finally caught him in a mistake and beat him. Wei Jie only knew that he was wrong. If the trouble continued, Ju Jun was afraid that he would die to express his ambition, which would not be a good thing for him. So he said sincerely
He bowed his head to Ju Juan and admitted his mistake, and said good things and bad things, which finally made Ju Juan feel relieved for the time being.
Among the six captains of the Northern Army, Wei Jie, the infantry captain, was close to the scholar Sun Rui and others. Jiang Xuan, the garrison captain, was from Yongliang. Although he was not close to Wang Bin, he still obeyed him as the lieutenant general of the Northern Army.
However, Yue Cavalry Colonel Tian Chou and Shesheng Colonel Ju Jun also only obeyed military orders. Only Zhongbao Colonel Gao Shun and Changshui Colonel Zhang Meng were truly Wang Bin's confidants.
Although Wei Jie is currently the only thorn in the Northern Army, and he will obey his orders in all matters, Wang Bin knows that except for Gao Shun and Zhang Meng, the reason why these people obey him is just to obey
With the power given by the emperor in their hands, there is no leader who can really convince everyone. If Zhang Liao has not been transferred at this time, he can barely be considered one.
Whenever I think about my resignation, no matter who succeeds me, if they don't have his reputation and the emperor's full support, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince these high-ranking generals.
Now Wang Bin can only slowly entrust the affairs of the Northern Army to Gao Shun, hoping to establish his prestige. Before that, just beating Wei Jie is not enough, and he will have to find another reason to invite the emperor later.
Move it away to avoid constraining Gao Shun.
As for Zhang Meng... Only then did Wang Bin realize that Huangfu Song's evaluation of Zhang Meng last year was spot on. This man had an impatient temperament and only cared about short-term gain. He would definitely not have the achievements of his father Zhang Huan. Fortunately, the emperor also
After seeing through this man's character, he refused to entrust him with a big responsibility and only regarded him as a fierce general. Unfortunately, Zhang Meng didn't know it and thought that he could take the position of commander-in-chief of the first army by relying on Wang Bin's relationship. Isn't it ridiculous?
Wang Bin said in a deep voice: "What Ju Zicai said just now is right. Don't just focus on Hedong. Now Shangdang and Taiyuan are both suffering from war and need to be pacified. How can such military exploits be exclusive to the Southern Army?
Let me tell you something here: after the war in Hedong, the real great achievements will come next! That’s when our Northern Army will use force to show off its power!"
"But join the Shangdang to rescue Zhang Wenyuan?" Zhang Meng replied upon hearing this. When Zhang Liao was still in the Northern Army, he often competed with him. If he could lead troops to rescue Zhang Liao, Zhang Meng initially felt that he could not conquer Anyi.
Any unhappiness he felt disappeared: "I heard that it was difficult for him to defend at Huguan. We should help each other, otherwise it would be dangerous for others to break through Huguan."
Ju Jun had sat down at this time, and his newly calmed mood began to fluctuate again with the battle in Shangdang. If Yuan Shao was at Huguan, Ju Shou should be there too. If the Northern Army wanted to go to Huguan, then he
Will he be kept by the emperor on purpose?
He closed his mouth and said nothing, but Gao Shun on the other side said: "The Huns invaded Taiyuan and Xihe. The situation is equally critical, but this place is not as dangerous as Huguan. In comparison, Taiyuan should be the first place to be rescued.
"
Wang Bin saw that everyone was attracted by whether the imperial court would send the Northern Army to Taiyuan or Shangdang in the next stage. He put all his original dissatisfaction behind and felt a little proud in his heart. He said with a smile: "This matter has not yet happened.
If we have a conclusion, we have to wait until the Confederate army captures Anyi first."
