Chapter 5197 Ah Shou is the general and the former army
Wang Zhene's eyes widened: "No, in any case, this is not appropriate. Brother Ashou is your generation, or even earlier, among the first batch of Beifu Army officers. He has made great achievements in battle over the years, and he is also your best."
Brother, as the forward general this time, he is the one everyone expects. No one else would be able to convince others. I am really not suitable to replace him now. This is like Zhuge Liang replacing Ma Di. I join the army just to make suggestions.
I have never served as the commander-in-chief of any army, so I have to replace Brother Ashou, and the generals will not accept it."
Liu Yu shook his head: "Then I participated in the military meeting as a soldier. As a captain, I could take over the command in the Battle of Wuqiaoze. As a missing sergeant who defected to the enemy and rebelled against Jin and returned to the grassland, I could lead the army.
Thousands of soldiers went to Luoyang to defend the city, and if they were all ranked according to seniority as you said, how could it be my turn?"
Wang Zhen'e sighed: "It's different. Brother Jinu, you have quickly become a new star in the army since you first joined the Beifu Army. In the eyes of all the brothers, you are the leader. As a pawn, you are no less powerful than a general or even a general."
The prestige of coach Liu Laozhi, and even Ah Shou, the son of a general, who will be trained as the coach of Beifu in the future, is convinced of you with all his heart. All of this is based on your unstoppable performance on the battlefield.
It was achieved with a military performance that was a step above others. But I don’t have such conditions.”
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Zhen evil, don't underestimate yourself like this. You have been joining the Beifu Army for more than ten years. You have had many opinions by my side, and you have also charged into battle, fought through life and death, and performed on the front line. Why can't you be with me?"
How did I compare back then?"
Wang Zhene shook his head and said: "You are like the God of War on the battlefield, unstoppable, but my martial arts skills are far worse than yours. I can't kill generals, capture flags, charge into battle, and even need protection."
, this is a huge loss in the Beifu Army, which attaches great importance to personal bravery. Even Shen Tianzi is far better than me in this aspect."
Liu Yu waved his hand: "Tian Zi has his role, but what I need here is the coach of the first army, not a forward general. You have your advantages in this regard. Just like the conversation I just had with you, it is not just about watching the army."
The strategy also depends on the post-war governance performance. In the battle to pacify Nanyan, Ah Shou's performance on the battlefield was pretty good, but the post-war governance is really hard to satisfy me. If it weren't for the fat man in charge, I'm afraid this would have happened.
My country, Nanyan, is already in chaos."
Wang Zhene said seriously: "To be honest, if you really want to make the Northern Expedition and regain the two capitals in the future, you must not leave Guanzhong after you capture it. Guanzhong is several times farther away than Nanyan.
Not only that, but what is even worse is that the people in Guanzhong live together with Han and Hu people, and there are even many more barbarians than Han people. It may not be too difficult to conquer Guanzhong, but if you want Guanzhong to have long-term peace and order and obey Wang Hua, then
But it’s not easy. You have to be governed by someone who can command the world like you. Even if you intend to let me stay, I’m afraid that firstly, the generals will not be convinced, and some may even say that I have the intention of revolting on my own. Secondly,
, I also ask myself that I don’t have the ability or qualifications to take over Guanzhong.”
Liu Yu nodded and said: "You are right. In terms of qualifications and prestige, you are indeed a little behind now. It can even be said that in the entire Beifu army, except for A Shou, Xi Le and Chang Min,
Except for the senior generals of my generation, you young marshals and generals in your prime of life do not have enough prestige to serve as governors of major states such as Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Qingzhou, Central Plains, and Guanzhong."
Wang Zhen laughed evilly: "Brother Jinu is right to the point. After all, we have always fought under your command. In major battles, you personally command. We only need to command our own troops and follow orders."
As long as you are doing things, you can't even take charge of the war you are best at, let alone the post-war governance? The first and most important thing in post-war governance is personnel issues. If you can't take charge of it, you can't let the civil servants at all levels in your legion.
The civil servants and generals took up their posts after the war. If they did not use their own staff and general teams, it would be impossible to have a tacit understanding of the post-war governance by cooperating with unfamiliar people. These are things that are not convenient to talk about on the stage.
, Brother Jinu communicated with me alone today, so that I can tell these things."
Liu Yu nodded and said: "Yes, what you said makes sense. If you want to fight a war, you only need to lead an army alone. But to govern a big state after the war, you need the entire team of civil servants, at least.
You need your army to be able to strategize and arrange a team that manages logistics and military supplies to carry out local governance. Of course, the officials subsequently sent by the court, especially the grassroots officials, are unlikely to be from your team or from outside.
The nobles are either the children of aristocratic families or the nephews of local powerful families. However, the chief officials at the state and county level are mostly their own staff when they led the army. These people run the army and govern politics. This is our ideal
However, in the future, we cannot allow these people to become new aristocratic families as before. Future generations do not need to make contributions, but they can become officials with true talents and knowledge only relying on the influence of their ancestors."
Wang Zhene nodded: "Yes, but now I can only say that you joined the army, and your staff cannot have a team of staff of their own. There is no way to talk about all this."
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "These are only temporary, because you are not the commander of an army and do not have your own staff team. This time I want you to take orders to restrain and supervise the front army. I want to give you this opportunity. As long as you
This time you have made meritorious deeds, made contributions, and gained something. Then next time I will give you an independent legion and make you a general, and no one will have any objections."
Wang Zhene took a breath of air: "So, what you mean is that you actually want me to replace Brother Ashou as the leading forward in this battle?"
Liu Yu sighed: "At this time, I won't hide it from you. If I let you be the former army commander during the military discussion in advance, I am afraid that the generals, especially the young marshals with similar qualifications to you, will not be able to hide it from you.
Knowingly and unwillingly, for various reasons, they now have their own legions. For example, Tan Daoji, Tan Zhi and others have legions left over from the previous bottle. The Shen brothers have always had their own Wu Di light soldiers. Even if
It's brothers Zhu Lingshi and Zhu Chaoshi. When they were generals in the Chu army, they had their own troops. Meng Huaiyu has formed an independent army for a long time. You are the only one guarding one side. Now you don't have a single soldier in your hands. So this time
The former military commander, I want Ah Shou to come and get this position first, but the purpose is to give it to you, how can you thank Brother Ah Shou properly?" (End of Chapter)
