Huang Tengyuan rode away drunk, taking with him fifty personal guards who were also drunk.
Looking at Huang Tengyuan who was going back to Guancheng, Tong An said: "Master, do you believe him if we let him go like this? I just hinted to the master several times, and I broke the glass as a sign at the banquet to kill them."
Wouldn't it be better if we can get rid of it, then seize Guancheng and take everyone back with us."
Bai Li also said: "Sir, this time the Great Khan established the Han Army Banner, the family has put in a lot of effort for you. The clan elders have already arranged all the official positions. Wouldn't it be great to have a Jia La forehead?"
It’s easier for him.”
Tong Jianye sneered and said: "Da'ankou is his territory. If you want to do this here, it's not the right place. He doesn't agree to our stationing in Guancheng to guard against us. He must have made arrangements before he came. Let's forget it.
Even if we capture Guancheng, we will lose a lot of money, and the other dozens of troops may not be willing to follow us. At this time, we still have to use him. As for when we get to Daijin, he still has to be flattened and rounded by us.
"
Bai Li and Tong An nodded and said, "Young Master is far-sighted and we cannot match him."
Tong Jianye said: "At any rate, we have to give him some sweetness first, coax and lie, and let him help us gather everyone. Don't you see that among these rebels, he has more prestige than us. Those who follow him
There are more than a dozen military leaders, and only three or four are following us."
Bai Li said: "The more this happens, the less we can keep him, otherwise it will be detrimental to the young master's sole control in the future. This person must be eliminated as soon as possible when he arrives in Daijin."
Tong Jianye didn't speak, he looked at the retreating figure and nodded.
As soon as Huang Tengyuan closed the door, he immediately woke up from his drunken state. He secretly thought that it was very dangerous. If it weren't for my great acting skills, I probably wouldn't be able to come back today.
Although he pretended to be drunk, out of the corner of his eye, he saw that bastard in Bai winking at Tong Jianye secretly several times. There was some movement behind the curtains. He pretended to be drunk and didn't notice it.
Tong Jianye thought he had been persuaded and let him come back because he was convinced that he was desperate and had no other choice.
Seeing Huang Tengyuan coming back, Chen Xing immediately came up with more than a thousand people to greet him.
Huang Tengyuan saw these people wearing helmets and armor, swords unsheathed, and bows strung. He immediately laughed and said: "Don't be nervous, that guy doesn't dare to attack me here."
Chen Xing said: "Sir, I saw on Guancheng that on your way back, a group of troops was ambushed, but they were not activated. Your Majesty is back. My subordinates are so worried that they are in their throats."
Huang Tengyuan sighed and said: "It's really dangerous today. If they hadn't tried to trick me into helping them collect their defeated troops, it would have been really dangerous today. Let's go in and talk."
Entering the government office, Huang Tengyuan asked: "How many of the other defeated soldiers who came here have been collected?"
Chen Xing said: "I set up more than a dozen large pots on the flat ground at the south gate of Guanmen Gate to entertain the defeated soldiers who followed them. There are already more than a dozen groups. There are about 3,000 people. If we stay here,
In the past few days, we were able to collect more than a thousand people, and there are still many laggards behind."
Huang Tengyuan thought about it and said, "We can't wait any longer. Zhou Yuji has regained Jizhou and is about to catch up. They have more than 3,000 cavalry trained by the Xinghe regiment. Once they bite us, we won't be able to run away. Even if we reach the grassland, we won't be able to run away." But cavalry."
Chen Xing said: "Sir, what you mean is that we will leave the customs now. What will happen to those people outside the customs?"
Huang Tengyuan sighed and said: "I just found out today that his mother's surname is Tong. He is Jian Nu and is Tong Tulai's cousin. Today they want me to cooperate with them in pulling away these defeated soldiers and follow him to Shenyang. .He also promised me a Jia La E Zhen."
Chen Xing suddenly said anxiously: "Sir, although we are desperate and at the end of our rope, we must not surrender and become slaves. Wouldn't this be a disservice to our ancestors?"
At this time, Huang Tengyuan didn't know what his subordinates were thinking, so he didn't dare to express his own thoughts. He just raised the matter to see their reactions.
This is a sensitive period. Only by understanding the thoughts of your subordinates can you make the best choice.
If all his subordinates were to surrender to slavery, he could not make contrary opinions.
It is true that rights are given by superiors. If you don't listen to your superiors, you will lose your rights.
However, they have rebelled, and Huang Tengyuan's power no longer comes from the authorization from his superiors.
This joint must not be confused. Now his power is given by his subordinates. That is, it comes from the support of his subordinates.
In this case, when a leader does not have the endorsement and authorization from his superiors, how can he lead his subordinates? The only way is to see through the thoughts of most people and then issue orders according to this idea. Let the people below feel , your words simply spoke to their hearts.
This is the kind of leader they truly support.
In other words, you see the voices of the vast majority of people and then speak out what they think. You are the wise leader, and they will die for you. It is not that you impose your own ideas and will on them. He will become a lonely man and eventually step down sadly.
It can be seen that the ability to express is very important. If you cannot explain clearly, do not express your ideas clearly, and make the people below feel that your ideas are inconsistent with theirs, they will be replaced by someone who can explain clearly.
Huang Tengyuan breathed a sigh of relief. He was unwilling to seek refuge with Jiannu. But now they were desperate and didn't know what the people below were thinking.
Now Chen Xing's attitude made him let out a long breath.
"I surrendered to the Jian slaves. I was deceived by lard. That's why I did such a stupid thing. When I rebelled, it was because I refused to give my daughter to the governor as a concubine. Are you going to offer your daughter to the Jian slaves now? Damn it. hair."
Hearing Huang Tengyuan's words, Chen Xing became happy. He cupped his hands and said, "Sir, as long as they don't seek refuge with Jiannu, my subordinates will always follow you, even to the ends of the earth."
Huang Tengyuan said: "We will not seek refuge with Jiannu, but tigers are not harmful to people, and tigers are harmful to people's hearts. Those people outside the customs must be resolved. The conflict between us and the court is ultimately a family matter. But Jiannu It’s a different story.”
Chen Xing said: "We only have 1,600 soldiers and horses, and Wu Zhenpu and the three young masters also took away 300 and went to Wubao in advance. Now we only have 1,300 soldiers, which is not enough.
.How about we call together the leaders of more than a dozen groups, announce that Tong Jianye is a slave-building spy, and then attack him together."
Huang Tengyuan immediately waved his hand and said: "Absolutely not. The fact that he is a slave and plans to recruit us must not be leaked. Otherwise, it will be dangerous."
