"Bastard, how did you fight? Ah? Four or five thousand people were actually broken by five thousand Zhao troops? They were defended by the city. Do you even dare to defend the city?" Liangzhou Grand Governor's Office was in the middle of the Liangzhou Governor's Office.
Lin Shucheng cursed the generals kneeling on the ground with a pale face.
"The Grand Commander, it is not that the city is not defended under the time mark, but that the soldiers under his command immediately dispersed when the Zhao army attacked the city. We can't hold back the bullet." One person explained bitterly.
"Damn it! In just over ten days, it was too embarrassing to lose eight cities in the east and north. You are resisting the Zhao army here and there, and it can be called a defeat in one battle." Lin Shucheng Yue
He said that he was so angry. Although Lin Shucheng was extremely talented, he could not use his strength when the two armies were fighting and the troops were disparate. Especially when the Zhao army went out in multiple directions, he was unable to take into account the overall situation.
The most important thing is that the strength of the Liangzhou Army is simply incomparable to the Zhao Army. Even they are far inferior to the regular soldiers of the Yong Army. When they fight head-on, they are no opponents of the other party at all.
"The Grand Commander, who has been newly arrived in the army, has not been able to control the entire army with full authority, and the soldiers have no intention of fighting. What if they do! Moreover, the cold winter has arrived, and the soldiers are not enough for winter clothes, and the things for warmth are even worse.
It's far from that. The soldiers have complained privately, and are worried. If this continues, the consequences will be unimaginable."
When it comes to this, Lin Shucheng frowned. Liangzhou was poor and he had already known it. But he did not expect that the situation would be more serious than expected. Liangzhou has never been valued by Situ Lei, and the Liangzhou army
He was also drawn by Situ Lei many times, causing Liangzhou to be young, strong and sparse, and the people to suffer. Without support, Liangzhou alone is indeed unable to cope with the pressure from the outside world.
"Retreat and rectify your subordinates. This governor doesn't want such a thing to happen again next time."
"Let's wait!" Just as Lin Shucheng asked several generals to retreat, a man suddenly spoke.
"Wang Sima, I wonder what you have to do?" Lin Shucheng saw that the person who spoke was Zuo Sima Wang Hewen, and his brows frowned slightly.
Wang Hewen said indifferently: "Grandmaster, these people were all defeated by the Zhao army and lost the city. Could it be that the Governor will deal with such a crime like this? Such unfair behavior of reward and punishment will be difficult to make the Liangzhou army.
Be convinced by the upper and lower levels.”
"Yes, Grand Commander, these people are all guilty of losing the city and defeating the war. They must be punished. Otherwise, there will inevitably be unfair rewards and punishments." Changshi Tian Yu, You Sima and others said together.
"You..." Lin Shucheng's face suddenly became gloomy, and then he said coldly: "Rewards and punishments are unfair? Isn't this the governor letting them make meritorious service? The Liangzhou army has few good generals, and when punishing, it will definitely weaken the strength of our Liangzhou army.
. Furthermore, if they are punished, they will inevitably make it difficult for their subordinates to settle their hearts."
"Grandmaster, when you replaced the General of the Right Guard, the General of the Front, and more than 30 generals, you didn't say that. When it comes to understanding the soldiers, how could they compare to General Liu and others?
?General Liu and others were transferred by the Grand Commander because of unfavorable combat, let alone them?"
"Grandmaster, we think that if we want the Liangzhou army to prevent the Zhao army from fighting again and losing thousands of miles, we will still let the original generals lead the army to fight. In that case, the soldiers will know the generals, and the generals will know the soldiers, but they will not
Like now, the chief general cannot even control the soldiers under his command."
Wang Hewen and others bluntly forced Lin Shucheng to the palace. Although Lin Shucheng had some close friends to defend themselves, Wang Hewen had sufficient reasons this time. There were many people from the former Liangzhou Army who were suppressed by Lin Shucheng. Seeing this opportunity, they immediately started to fight back.
Lin Shucheng's face was extremely gloomy, but this time he was caught by the other party, so he could not refuse tactfully. Besides, the former governor Situ Fei was also beside him.
"Second Young Master, what do you think of the problem?" Lin Shucheng turned to Situ Fei beside him and asked. He knew that the person beside him had never been willing to be occupied by him as the Grand Commander. He also knew that everyone in the hall was all right.
It has a considerable relationship with the other party. If the other party has not responded yet, it would be strange.
Situ Fei smiled indifferently and said, "I am idle now, not an official in the Grand Governor's Office. When I come here, I just understand the situation of the frontline. Of course, there is a Grand Governor who will make the decision on handling military and political affairs."
"However, I think it's better to let them commit crimes than to punish them at this moment. After all, our army is in urgent need of manpower now. But when it comes to understanding the soldiers of the army, it's better to have a few generals at that time. After all, they are in Liangzhou Army.
Among them, they have higher prestige than theirs. It is more suitable to lead the army in the army than them. What do the Grand Governor think?”
Lin Shucheng's eyes twitched slightly, his face remained unchanged, he stared at Situ Fei tightly, and after a while, he said coldly: "Since you all say that, then do this. He sent the order to Li Wenyun and eight others, so that they could return immediately
The old subordinates were in Wuwei to the north and Jincheng to the east, and Didao resisted the Zhao army."
"Winter is coming, and our army is in trouble, so why isn't the Zhao army the same? As long as we defend every step of the way, we will be able to resist the Zhao army outside the city. There are many soldiers in Zhao, but they also need more food, grass, winter clothes, and materials consumed.
It’s several times that of us. It’s not an easy task to transport supplies in winter, especially snowy weather.”
"Now that the overall situation in the south has been decided, our army has defeated the Qi army in the south. As long as we can persist in blocking the Zhao army's continued invasion, the southern army will definitely be able to expel the Zhao army in the spring of the next year."
"Grandmaster, these villains are clearly forcing the palace, why should they agree?" In the inner hall, Lin Shucheng and several of his confidants gathered here with a solemn expression.
Lin Shucheng said in a deep voice: "So what if you don't agree? The situation is not under our control. Besides, it is appropriate for the army to be defeated and punished."
"But..." Li Xuyi, who came to Liangzhou with Lin Shucheng, smiled bitterly, "Grandmaster, we finally came to find some excuses to plant our ten people in the army everywhere. But this time, we broke the bill
After most of the trip, we can say that in one night, we have been working hard for more than two months and lost all our contributions in one go."
"Yes, Grand Governor, Lord Li is right. Now, the Liangzhou army has been taken over by them. The prince asked us to control Liangzhou here. If this continues, it will be difficult to complete."
They all said.
Lin Shucheng sneered: "Control Liangzhou? Do you think we controlled Liangzhou before today? I only realized now that these two young masters were not as cooperative as we imagined. This time, so many people objected together.
What is it? Isn’t it because the second young master stood behind them?”
"However, today's incident also shows that Liangzhou is not under our control at all. Do you think I can't agree? You didn't hear them say that the Liangzhou generals and officers who were replaced by us are
Only in the army can there be prestige. They are hinting that if we continue to use our people, these soldiers will not buy it."
Li Xuyi's face darkened and said in disbelief: "No, from the current situation, we replace his staff and suppress their former Liangzhou officials is nothing more than to allow us to control the power of Liangzhou. But, if so,
If you cannot resist the invasion of the Zhao army, that is a major issue related to the entire Yong army. They will not be unable to tell the difference between the size, right!"
Lin Shucheng frowned and said slowly: "I don't know much about what the second young master wants to do. If you want to regain power, it is not a good opportunity when the Zhao army attacks. Besides, I come here to stay in Liangzhou.
It is the prince’s military order, so he should not be so bold and arrogant."
Li Xuyi said in a deep voice: "Grandmaster, could it be that the matter in Chengdu Prefecture made the second young master start to be anxious and wanted to increase the weight for himself?"
"No, although the prince did not say bluntly who would inherit his great cause, he did not obey military orders and acted recklessly at this moment and would never add too much power to his rise to power. Furthermore... the second young master inherited his great cause from whichever perspective, from which point of view,
The chances are not high." Someone immediately refuted.
Lin Shucheng knew the most clearly about inheriting the throne. He came this time to eliminate the influence of Situ Fei here so as to avoid fighting among the Yong army in the future. In other words, Situ Fei is no longer qualified to inherit the great cause.
Didn’t it mean that after the Luoyang man left Yongzhou, he would send a order here to let Situ Fei leave Liangzhou too? Why hasn’t the military order arrived yet? Did the prince change his mind? Lin Shucheng was also unpredictable. If Situ was alone
Fei is a problem in Liangzhou. After Situ Fei arrived here and took over Liangzhou, he would ask Situ Fei to return to Chengdu Prefecture immediately. However, in the eastern part of Liangzhou, there was a young master who was very difficult to deal with. Therefore, in order not to have any accidents,
He can only wait for news from Yongzhou here.
"Okay, no matter what, the most urgent task now is to block the Zhao army. The problem here is serious. You all know the foundation of Liangzhou. Now the cold winter has arrived, and snow has even begun to fall in the east. As Wang Hewen said before, the soldiers only
I am afraid that I have no intention of fighting. The amount of winter clothes needed by our army is very short of, but as far as we know, the Zhao army's materials were hoarded early in the handover of Bingzhou, Xiazhou and Liangzhou. The other party had already done it before the action.
We have prepared enough. And we..." Lin Shucheng suppressed his worries about what happened today and said repeatedly.
"The Grand Governor, it's not that his subordinates talk too much. Judging from the current situation, it's unlikely that Liangzhou can hold on... it's not very good!"
Lin Shucheng's face froze and said, "No matter whether it is big or not, we must stick to it. Don't forget that you and I are both officials in Liangzhou. If Liangzhou is lost in your hands, no one will get the best. If you
If you think your neck is harder than others, then you will ignore the safety of Liangzhou."
Lin Shucheng naturally knew that what Situ Lei wanted was that the Liangzhou army to protect the southeast prefectures and counties as much as possible so that there would be a safe outer protective net in Hanzhong and Chang'an.
If it weren't for the prince's health, how could he have the current situation? I don't know if Yong's army can develop steadily under the leadership of the new king... Lin Shucheng secretly worried about Yong's current situation.
In Situ Fei's mansion, there was also a group of people. In addition to the confidants of Situ Lei such as Wang Hewen, there was another special person, that is, Nangong Hao, the commander of the first town of the town, which was attacked from north to south by the Zhao army.
"Congratulations to the second young master, for regaining the advantage again. The second young master, the princes in the world will definitely have your place in the future." Nangong Hao said with a loud laugh.
Situ Fei's face was calm and he said in a low voice: "Nangong Hao, you have occupied several cities on the front line. What about the conditions we mentioned in advance? When are you going to agree to the promise?"
Nangong Hao smiled and said, "It's okay at any time, just use winter clothes. Our army has prepared extra. In this battle, the second young master gave up eight cities, and we will pay the corresponding food and winter clothes."
Wang Hewen said: "By the way, during this battle, because we have to hand over these places, we still have many soldiers captured by you, these prisoners..."
Nangong Hao smiled and said, "We will let them return because the reason is that in the cold winter, our army cannot provide for too many prisoners. But the killing was too cruel, so we put them back. Of course, this is also to give you coolness.
The state governor has an explanation."
"By the way, there are two ways to trade now. Either you send someone to rob the grain. Or we transport the grain to Xihai Mansion through merchants and then hand it over to you. How do you plan to accept these things?"
Wang Hewen said: "Robbery of grain? If the Liangzhou Governor was not Lin Shucheng, this is a very good way. However, Lin Shucheng's talent can definitely see the problem from it. We have just suffered a great defeat, and if we can intercept the food and supplies from you
That's a strange thing."
Tian Yu shook his head and said, "Another way is not acceptable. The Zhao army transported the materials to Xihai Prefecture, which is the northwest under the control of our army. This is not conducive to our original plan. What we need is
In the east, not in the north.”
Situ Fei also understood it immediately, and the joy on his face suddenly dissipated, and he said coldly: "What? Don't you Zhao Jun want to act according to the agreed agreement? Wang Hewen immediately sent someone to contact the Grand Governor to make this matter..."
Nangong Hao said repeatedly: "Wait! Don't the second young master know that doing this will involve himself? Even if the matter is exposed, my Zhao army will still attack Liangzhou, but you can..."
Situ Fei sneered, "Is that true? If the news here reaches the Grand Commander's ears, it will soon reach my father's ears. By then, your King Zhao can still calmly let you have such a large army.
Are you moving westward? Now that your army is approaching, it may not be the coalition of southern princes in the future. Especially after you have begun to penetrate the various princes, it will be difficult for them to remain indifferent."
Nangong Hao was stunned and couldn't help but look carefully at the second young master in front of him, and found that he was better than he had imagined. However, Nangong Hao didn't give much hope for this matter, and the original intention was just to give Situ Fei
Just cause trouble. Now seeing the other party see the problem, he smiled and said, "The reason for this is that the materials we shipped to the western part of Liangzhou happened to pass by there, and it is more convenient to dispatch. Since you don't want to, then change it
One place. You said that we will transport it there by merchants. Of course, it will definitely not be the rear."
Seeing Nangong Hao answering this, Situ Fei breathed a sigh of relief. Although he shouted well, it did not mean that he was really willing to do that. No one disliked power...
Wang Hewen spread out the map, looked on the map, and finally pointed to a big city between Anding Prefecture and Tianshui, saying, "Qinzhou City is here. When you transport it here, we will have someone to take care of it."
"Okay! I wish the second young master to obtain all the real power as soon as possible and retreat to the south. By the way, I would like to tell the second young master that your elder brother, the Grand Governor of Yongzhou, is also like you. The place he chose is the eastern part of Yongzhou.
The only choices you can choose from, the second young master are Chang'an and Hanzhong. These two places have dangerous barriers on all sides, which are good places to start a business."
"I'm not waiting for it. The second young master should act early. Once there is a change, then... By the way, the second young master, Lin Shucheng, the governor of Liangzhou, is not an ordinary person. If he doesn't want anything to be found by him, he should deal with him first.
That's right."
Situ Fei said: "You don't have to worry about this matter. You just need to give us what we agreed upon. As for how I do it, this is our own business."
Seeing that Situ Fei could not take action against Lin Shucheng, and even Situ Fei had the intention to accept Lin Shucheng, Nangong Hao couldn't help but sigh secretly. Lin Shucheng is indeed talented. If possible, he certainly hopes that Lin Shucheng will die here and eliminate a great enemy for his side.
.
"By the way, finally, the year is approaching, and our army will stop acting this year after one or two siege battles are approaching. If you want to stabilize your current power this time, these few offensive and defensive battles will
To rectify its morale. In addition, we are also preparing to transfer your troops away. Otherwise, in the spring of the next year, our Zhao army will be attacked by thunder." At the end, Nangong Hao explained in a deep voice.
After Nangong Hao left, Situ Fei and others sat silently. From now on, they had already taken the path they shouldn't have taken, and no one could guarantee what the result would be.
Father, don't blame me, you can only blame you for being too biased. If the eldest brother was on the throne, I had nothing to say. But why is the fifth brother? Why would I be in charge of the poorest Liangzhou at the time, but they were in charge of prosperity one by one
Where? Situ Fei's heart was up and down, and his face was also changing.
"Second Young Master?"
"What's the matter?" Situ Fei woke up immediately.
"Second Young Master, since things have reached this point, you cannot turn back. No matter what you think in your heart, it is too late to regret it. As Nangong Hao of Zhao Army said, the princes in the world, the second young master will definitely have your place." Wang Hewen
Seeing that Situ Fei's face looked a little ugly, he repeatedly advised.
Situ Fei took a deep breath and smiled and said, "I'm fine! Let's go down and act according to our original plan. I also want to see which of them is better than me! I will prove myself with facts that I am no worse than them!
”
"What about the Grand Governor Lin Shucheng? Is it..." A man made a killing move and said coldly.
Situ Fei shook his head and said, "No, this person is quite talented and intelligent. If he can use it for us, it will naturally be the best."
"The second young master wants to regain him? I'm afraid it's very difficult!"
"It's up to people to do it, and it's a different matter if it doesn't work!"
