"The planning and planning of the plan, whether it is self-contained in the chapter, can be replaced, or not, it all comes down to the writing." Shi Tong said.
In Shiqu Pavilion, after listening to the emperor's words, Wang Bin couldn't help but smile: "Your Majesty is truly talented and talented. Only in this way can you control Cao Yingjie. If we really compare, those secretaries are not that good." ."
The emperor shook his head and smiled, and followed Wang Bin's joke and continued: "Controlling people and employing people are my abilities. Managing people is their ability." He looked around at the remaining Zhao Wen with deep eyes. Wang Bin, Xun You, and Zhu Hao said, "It's also your ability."
"I don't dare." Zhao Wen and others quickly avoided the table and said.
"As I said, the place is cramped. This place is not as good as the announcement room or the front hall. So don't be too rigid about etiquette. You always avoid the table and bow down. How boring is it to talk?" The emperor held Wang Bin's arm with one hand and said, He helped him up and said seriously: "Although you and I are monarchs and ministers, I always regard you as our elders, so why should we strictly guard the relationship between monarch and ministers?"
Of the four people here, the first three are qualified to accept the emperor's words, but the secretary Cheng Zhu Hao, who has a shallow foundation, is not. He can't figure out why he is here, and his heart has been filled with fear from the beginning. Uneasy until now, I had the opportunity to interject: "All the princes here are all famous and important ministers! Only a foolish minister, what virtue and ability can he participate in this discussion? Will he be praised? Today, South Korea If your majesty does not give up, I am willing to use my humble skills to lead the way!"
"General Xu Zi of Runan once said that Zhu Wenming was good at recommending people sincerely and trusting people. Now that I have heard it personally, I know that what he said is true." The emperor said: "You don't have to do this. The former general has made countless military exploits for our Han Dynasty. He used his troops. The Tao is profound, and as his son, you naturally have your hands in it. This time we march into Hanzhong, you will accompany us as Nanzheng Ling, the leading cavalry captain. If there is Chen Ce along the way, you can speak freely."
There is not much difference between the Nan Zheng Ling of 600 shi and the Secretary Cheng of 400 shi. On the surface, it is just a small jump, especially from a noble and powerful secretary to a county magistrate. For others, It was tantamount to being demoted. But Zhu Hao didn't take it seriously. Instead, he thanked him with joy. According to the emperor's joking words, he said: "The secretary supervises the classics and is with me every day, which is very boring. I know you That's not the intention. I want to use my talent and knowledge to serve in the army. Qianmo, for you, being released this time can be said to be like a bird entering the forest, right?"
Zhu Hao naturally couldn't say that, so he hurriedly made a few words of humility. The emperor waved Ruyi, pointed to the case, and said: "Last time, I briefly discussed a strategy with Xun Jun and others, under the pretense of attacking Song Jian and other thieves in Hexi. , in fact, they sent troops into Wudu and attacked Hanzhong through Chencang. Now Hanzhong has a golden garrison at the entrance of Ziwu Valley, and the Xiegu plank road has been burned down. As for Chencang, it is said that there is a barrier that has not been built in time. This is the opportunity for the imperial court to go south, and Fa Zheng just now What you say makes sense, and a two-pronged approach, one positive and one strange, is enough to achieve results."
Xun You and others knew that although the emperor agreed to Fazheng's plan to walk through Xiegu, the highlight of the battle was Chen Cangdao.
So on this basis, he supplemented the detailed issues for the emperor in detail, and combined with the map, it really meant that he could point out the country.
The emperor held the jade Ruyi and moved around the position of Chencang Road on the map, and said: "This time the troops are dispatched, mainly infantry, including Huben Zhonglang General Gaishun, Shesheng Colonel Jujun, Auxiliary Military Colonel Wu Kuang and other troops. Counting the remaining soldiers from the previous reduction of Wang Fang and other troops, the soldiers from Wudu and other places, and the Qiang and Hu Yi Cong, a total of more than 20,000 people entered Hanzhong from Chencang Road. As for Xiegu, the infantry captain Xu Huang Sima Zhao Yun of the Yulin Army and others led five thousand troops and went south."
Sitting there was Secretary Cheng Zhu Hao, who had the highest official rank. At this time, he was holding a pen and writing down quickly on a piece of paper.
Zhao Wen thought for a while and suddenly said: "Xu Huang was going to Wudu, is your Majesty going to change his plan?"
"Xu Gongming is enough to take charge of his own affairs. Now that he has planned the plan of Xianggu, let him use it to his fullest." The emperor said lightly, confirming his high regard for Xu Huang from the side.
He moved his position, leaned his upper body forward slightly, and said: "Xu Huang once spent some time in the Yulin Army, and asked him to find some Yulin Langs who were good at infantry fighting in the Yulin Army, and form an infantry battalion.
Five thousand people. Fazheng's strategy was good, but he lacked the experience of facing the enemy in battle. He first issued an edict and worshiped him as a visitor. When the troops were officially sent out, he then made him a supervisor of the army and followed Xu Huang through the Xiegu.
Secretary Cheng Zhu Hao paid homage to Nan Zheng, led the cavalry captain, and followed Gaishun and other troops to Chencang."
Xun You listened quietly to the arrangement without saying a word, because he knew that the important point was yet to come.
"This time we send troops, Yu Linlang Mengda and Tai Shici in front of the palace will also be sent to Xu Huang's army, and they will be given the post of army commander to see the effect." The emperor said in detail that he was going to send his generals this time.
Cai, trying to use this to polish it and plate it with gold: "Chencang, Xiegu and other armies, I plan to have Pei Mao, the captain of the Sili School, to supervise the generals in the southern expedition. What do you think?"
Zhu Hao couldn't help being shocked when he heard that the commander of the troops sent out this time was not the emperor's close confidant Wang Bin, but the always low-key Sili captain Pei Mao. He couldn't help but tremble when he wrote on the slips, and all the words were lost.
The writing was blurry. He came to his senses, quickly crossed out the typo, and then copied it again.
In the process of transcribing, he couldn't help but wonder, why were Sikong Zhao Wen and others indifferent to such unexpected news?
Maybe this is the prime minister's magnanimity.
Zhao Wen glanced at Xun You and said: "Although Pei Sili has a good reputation and knows the art of war, he has not experienced military affairs, so he was suddenly awarded the great responsibility of the Southern Expedition. I'm afraid."
"This is also a helpless move." The emperor sighed and said: "A few days ago, I asked the imperial physician Hua Tuo to go to Dr. Guanglu's house to greet him. He said that Dr. Huangfu has been in poor health since winter, and he needs to cultivate his body and mind in these months.
, it is inconvenient to work. If not, I would not let the famous general pass and appoint others. The main reason why I selected Sili Xiaowei is because he holds a powerful position and can be regarded as a military commander. In addition, this time it is just
Let him supervise the army, and the specific strategies for using troops should mainly be discussed with others."
After saying that, the emperor looked at Xun You and said, "Mr. Xun might as well transfer to join the army this time and go south to Shu with Pei Sili and others?"
Xun You raised his brows, obviously not expecting that the emperor would change the topic and change the topic to himself. According to the emperor's wishes, Pei Mao could only have the position of head coach, but he could personally make plans and wait for him to be the head coach.
Quan. But these are pros and cons for Xun You. Although this trip can achieve great achievements, he will be away from Chang'an and the court for a long time. Considering that Jia Xu is about to expire this year, Xun You has to think more.
.
Zhao Wen on the side did not think so much. Since the emperor asked Xun You to join the army, there was nothing to say. After all, with the resourceful Xun You here, there was no need to worry about setbacks in the southern expedition to Hanzhong and even Yizhou. On the contrary, it would be
Get twice the result with half the effort.
Finally, the emperor pushed Ruyi onto the case, just covering the position of Shu County, and said: "Pei Mao has five sons and a son-in-law, who is now the governor of Shu County. In the sixth year of Zhongping, the second son Pei Jun followed his sister
When he entered the middle of Shu, it happened that Dong's thieves were entering the capital, and the roads were blocked, so Pei Jun stayed in Yizhou."
A simple statement, but it contained a lot of information. Xun You, Zhao Wen and others immediately understood the unfinished meaning of the emperor's words, and they all thought that letting Pei Mao lead the army this time might really be in line with his mission.
