After everyone exchanged pleasantries, Wu Di asked Shang Yi's troops to stay outside the city for the time being, and then took Shang Yi into the city. When they arrived at the government office, Wu Di ordered the generals to gather and hold a banquet, so that all the generals could see each other.
As soon as we meet.
Because Shang Yi was the last one to arrive, after all the generals arrived, Wu Di first introduced Shang Yi one by one. Although there were only a dozen generals present, they were all well-established. There were four of them with the general rank:
Ma Ke, Huang Degong, Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo, as well as two generals from the Beijing Camp Army: Feng Yuanqing and Peng Rui, and three local generals respectively Gao Junyuan from Huangzhou Prefecture and the capital commander of Yingchuan Guard
Xie Ke, General Cui Wenrong of Wuchang Prefecture, and Shang Yi were exactly ten generals.
Among these people, Shang Yi at least has a certain understanding of these four generals. Ma Ke was originally a subordinate of Hong Chengchou and once served as the general of Shanhaiguan. He was Wu Sangui's predecessor and participated in the Battle of Songshan.
After the defeat, their reputation plummeted and they never held any important positions again. Huang Degong, Liu Zeqing, and Liu Liangzuo were all very famous in the end of Shui Dynasty, and they all later became one of the four towns in Jiangbei of Nanming. The other four towns.
One was Gao Jie, who was still working under Sun Chuanting at this time.
In another time and space, after the Qing army retreated, Liu Zeqing was named the Shandong General Soldier and stationed in Linqing. Later, when Li Zicheng attacked Beijing, Chongzhen sent Liu Zeqing's troops to Beijing to assist in the defense. As a result, Liu Zeqing used the imperial edict as a toilet paper.
He ignored them. However, when the Qing army later invaded Jiangbei, Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo both surrendered to the Qing army. Only Huang Degong died in battle, having devoted his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty.
When Wu Zongxiang introduced Shang Yi to the generals, Ma Ke bowed his hands and saluted, saying: "General Shang, please welcome me."
Shang Yi also returned the salute and said: "General Ma, I have admired you for a long time." Although Shang Yi's official position and rank were lower than them, he had the title of Linyi Bo, so he could compete with these general soldiers.
, about the same.
Huang Degong looked Shang Yi up and down and said, "I have heard about General Shang for a long time. I am honored to meet you here today. I will definitely ask General Shang for advice in the future."
Shang Yi smiled faintly and said: "General Huang is too polite. Confucius said: If there are three of us walking together, there must be one of my teachers. What's more, there are ten of us, and there are governors and ministers here. What virtue and ability do I have? I can't be a teacher."
Ask for advice."
Liu Zeqing just nodded and said with a smile: "I heard that General Shang defeated an army of 100,000 slaves in Qingzhou. He is really a young hero. He also saved people in the capital. He was so favored by the emperor that he made an exception. It seems that
The future is limitless, and we will have to ask General Shang to take more care of us in the future."
Shang Yi said with a smile: "General Liu, I have been commended. It is everyone's responsibility to drive away the Tartars. Although I was only a general at that time, I also had the responsibility to protect the country and the people. Not to mention that we, as military generals, naturally fight on the battlefield.
, I am loyal to my country, and I have lived up to the high expectations of the court. The emperor's grace is just for me to fulfill my duty as a minister, so how can I dare to claim that I am capable of doing so."
Liu Liangzuo smiled coldly and said: "General Shang is too apologetic. He defeated the chief slaves, recovered one government and two counties, and rescued hundreds of thousands of people. Everyone, women and children knew about this. Even the emperor personally spoke out and called him General Shang.
The brave champion of the three armies, and now he is marching south to quell the rebellion of bandits and bandits, he will definitely win the battle and succeed immediately. I will wait and see, just to see General Shang complete his great work."
Shang Yi said: "General Liu is a great reward. This quelling the chaos is related to the overall situation of the imperial court. Nowadays, there are many thieves. We should not be responsible for this life. How can we hold the sky single-handedly if we only rely on the next person? We are responsible for it."
Only with sincere cooperation and unity can we hope to succeed, otherwise we will only learn from the past and the current situation will repeat itself."
Of course Shang Yi could tell that these four people were jealous of him, but it was no wonder that he was only in his early twenties, but he had already made great achievements and was promoted to garrison general and second-rank commander.
, there is also a title of Linyi Count, which is enough to be on an equal footing with these four general soldiers. It would be strange if he is not jealous. Therefore, these four talents are sarcastic and sarcastic towards him. However, Shang Yi naturally cannot be too polite, otherwise
It also makes people think that he is easy to bully. His answers are neither arrogant nor spleenful, and he rejects all the sarcastic remarks. And he answers very appropriately, and every sentence is full of truth.
Even if there was a slight flaw, the four of them would be speechless and answer correctly.
Wu Di had a certain understanding of Shang Yi, so he was not too surprised. Shi Kefa was quite surprised. Shang Yi's answer showed that this person was not just an ordinary warrior, and he couldn't help but re-evaluate Shang Yi in his heart.
stand up.
Among the others, although Feng Yuanqing and Peng Rui were generals in the Beijing camp, the soldiers in the Beijing camp were not as powerful as the local forces at this time, and they did not have as much confidence as these four generals. The other three local generals, regardless of their official positions,
, or their strength is lower than Shang Yi, so at least on the surface, he is quite polite to Shang Yi and maintains enough courtesy. Shang Yi also reciprocates the favor. If you respect me, I will return the favor. If you are polite, I will also be humble.
, if there is a hidden meaning in your smile, then there is also a hidden meaning in my words.
After finally completing the introductions, everyone sat down and took their seats according to their respective official positions. Then Wu Di ordered the banquet to begin, and all kinds of wine and food were brought out one after another. Everyone also drank glasses and drank happily. Because before, everyone
They all experienced Shang Yi's sharp words, and after all, with Wu Di and Shi Kefa present, the generals did not dare to be too arrogant. At the same time, these military generals were all rough and rough. Liu Zeqing had only been studying for a few days, but it was a pity that he was not even a scholar.
If they didn't pass the exam, it was fine to let them say a few weird words, but it was too difficult for them to make insinuations and criticize others. Therefore, they all became more honest, and the banquet ended happily.
After everyone dispersed, only Wu Di and Shi Kefa were left. The smile on Wu Di's face disappeared and he said: "Xianzhi, you have seen it. I am the supervisor here and there. I am clearly the supervisor."
Being roasted on the fire!"
Shi Kefa also nodded sympathetically and said: "Friend Lu, the soldiers are arrogant and the generals are strong, and the bandits have become powerful. Your burden this time is indeed not light."
Wu Di gave a bitter laugh and said: "If this is just the end of things, it's a pity that there are still people in the court waiting to see my joke. It's easy to hide from open guns, but the most difficult to guard against hidden arrows."
Shi Kefa was not only a little indignant, but said: "These young people have no regard for the overall situation. They are really hateful." He also comforted Wu Zong and said: "Brother Lu You, you don't have to be too pessimistic. As long as you can make meritorious service on the front line, the emperor is wise, even if you have Xiao Xiao
What can I do to you if the people in the government can't do anything to you? Don't worry about military supplies, I will try my best to supply them. Just worry about the war on the front line. And I heard that Sun Chuanting is about to leave the country. As soon as he comes out, Li
The thief will definitely send his troops north to fight, so you don't have to rush to send troops to fight with the thief Li. Just wait until Sun Chuanting comes out of the pass. Brother Lu You will sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and let Sun Chuanting and Li thief fight to the death. Then you can
Command the army to pick up the pieces, wait until Thief Li is defeated, and then come back to deal with Thief Zhang, then ten years of chaos can be wiped out in one fell swoop. Brother Lu You's contribution can be said to have turned the tide."
In fact, the Donglin Party and Wu Di have done a lot of things to hold others back, but this time it is their turn to pay for it. If Shang Yi were here, he would definitely say the classic saying of later generations.
Lines: If you come out to mess around, you have to pay back everything.
Although there are too many taken-for-granted elements in Shi Kefa's plan, first of all, whether Sun Chuanting is Li Zicheng's opponent and whether he can consume Li Zicheng's strength, and whether Zhang Xianzhong will sit back and ignore Li Zicheng's success or failure, whether Zuo Liangyu is willing to obey the orders, and
Who knows what orders will come from the court. But overall, it is still a good idea, at least worth a try.
Therefore, Wu Di felt a little comforted. At least he had a basic plan. From the time he left the capital until now, he still had no clue at all, so he said: "Xianzhi, thank you for your advice. You will be here for the whole battle this time."
Nanjing is helping me, otherwise I really have no chance of winning. Fortunately, Shang Yi is here too. If God bless me, maybe the Ping Kou can still succeed."
Shi Kefa hesitated again after hearing this, and then said: "Brother Lu You, I think Shang Yi seems to be respectful, but in fact he is rebellious. Moreover, this person seems simple, but in fact he is quite scheming. His ambition is extraordinary. I
I don’t think you can give him a heavy responsibility, not to mention that he is a military commander after all. I am afraid that he will become arrogant with his skills and become the second Zuo Liangyu, so you still have to think twice."
Wu Di gave a bitter laugh and said: "Xianzhi, I don't know what you are talking about, but most of our soldiers in Shu are useless now. Can you count on Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo and the like to annihilate Li Zhang?"
Second thief? You have also seen Shang Yi's military appearance outside the city. Who else can I use besides him now? Although Zuo Liangyu is useful, it is a pity that he is more difficult to drive than Shang Yi.
, not to mention that Zuo Liangyu is no longer as brave as he used to be."
After hearing this, Shi Kefa knew that what Wu Zong said was the truth, so he could only smile bitterly and said: "Brother Lu You, this is indeed making things difficult for you." After thinking about it for a while, he said: "Brother Lu You, since it is not necessary.
Shang Yi, in my opinion, it’s better to take him for my own use. To be honest, we on Donglin’s side do lack generals, so it’s difficult to achieve great things. It’s not easy to have Zuo Liangyu, but he is so domineering.
It is difficult to drive. Although Shang Yi is a bit unruly, he is still young after all. As long as we control him properly, he may not be unable to be used by us."
Wu Di nodded and said with a smile: "Xianzhi, we are heroes and have the same ideas. In fact, I have had this idea for a long time. Shang Yi has no one to rely on in the court. This time I am out of the capital to supervise the division, and I will order him to be transferred.
I just want to take the opportunity to conquer him."
After hearing this, Shi Kefa chuckled and said, "I'm just saying that with how smart Brother Lu You is, how could he not think of this? I'm just blindly copying my thoughts."
As they spoke, both of them laughed. However, Wu Zong despised Shi Kefa in his heart. It was too wishful thinking. It was easy to subjugate Shang Yi, but what could he do to regain him? Now the Donglin Party in the DPRK simply does not
He didn't have much power. Why did Shang Yi defect to the Donglin Party?
