It is said that if one general is incompetent, the three armies will be exhausted.
Whether Wang Wei is an incompetent general, he himself does not think so, but he also knows that his abilities are limited, and he is still far away from his childhood dream of defeating the enemy in battle and sweeping thousands of armies.
Wang Wei had met Fei Qian as early as when Fei Qian arrived in Jingzhou. At that time, Wang Wei just thought that Fei Qian looked weak and had nothing special to show, so it did not arouse Wang Wei's concern.
After all, Liu Biao had just established himself in Jingzhou and saw this person and that person every day. Later, Wang Wei also forgot about Fei Qian...
When he heard the name Fei Qian again, Wang Wei suddenly realized that a guy who seemed completely inconspicuous before was now in a high position and out of reach.
Just like the guy who could only show half of his head in the corner when taking graduation photos, now he is placed in the C position in the middle.
But Wang Wei could only think about it this way.
Because in the final analysis, Wang Wei is just trying to make a living.
Just seek no faults, not merit.
It would be the greatest blessing if he could live long enough to survive. Wang Wei, whose dream had been blunted by reality, seemed to have nothing against leading the army alone to station in Zhuyang, far away from the remote Jingxiang.
It's acceptable. After all, he is the boss in Zhuyang. It is said that he would rather be the leader than the tail.
"Reporting to the captain, supplies from Xiangyang have arrived..."
When Wang Wei was at the Yamen, he heard the soldiers saying this.
"Supplies sent from Xiangyang?" Wang Wei raised his eyebrows. Wang Wei has been in Zhuyang for many years, so naturally he cannot do without the allocation and replenishment of supplies from Xiangyang, but it seems that a batch came only in the past two months. Logically speaking
The new one was supposed to arrive next month, why did it come a month early?
However, not all supplies arrive on time, and some arrived late before...
"Where's the defense?" Wang Wei asked, reaching out.
"Reporting to the captain, the border defense is still behind. Five carts of supplies have arrived first..." the soldier asked, "There are still some behind... Do you want to put them in first?" Even salt is a luxury item.
In the 1970s, supplies were as attractive to ordinary soldiers as the free rice distributed by supermarkets in later generations.
"Well, wait until someone takes a look..." Wang Wei hesitated for a moment, and finally stood up and headed to the Yangcheng Gate.
After reaching the city wall, Wang Wei looked down and saw that there were indeed five baggage trains outside the city gate with Jingzhou signs hanging on them. However, Wang Wei did not recognize the team leader who was lazily leaning next to the baggage train.
"Who is under the city?" Wang Wei asked in a loud voice.
Zhu Ling cupped his hands casually, "I am under General Wen... Hi, Captain Wang, do you still want this supply? Don't say anything earlier, I will take it away!"
"You look strange, why haven't I seen you before?" Wang Wei asked again.
Zhu Ling let out a haha and patted the baggage cart beside him, "Hey, it's not that I haven't seen it before. It's just Captain Wang who didn't remember it! Forget it, forget it, I'm just a small soldier, not a big shot. I've never seen it before."
Is this normal? It’s okay if you don’t recognize me. Doesn’t it mean Captain Wang doesn’t even recognize this?”
The people in charge of logistics in the army are all uncles. For no other reason than that no one knows who they will meet again when they need supplies next time, so even if they have some tempers, they tolerate it. Not to mention Wang Wei is there
Zhuyang City said the same thing, but let Wang Wei control other soldiers. Sorry, they are not on the same line and can't control them.
Unless you want to fall out with Wenpin...
Wang Wei said in a muffled voice: "Where is the defense?"
"In the back! On the Junhou! How the hell could I be there?! I've said it several times! The car behind is broken! My cars came first!" Zhu Ling looked very impatient and jumped up behind him.
The baggage cart opened the linoleum cloth on the baggage cart, revealing the grain bags tied inside. Then he cut open one of the sacks with a knife, revealing the bacon wrapped in oil paper. "Damn it, do you still want it?"
No, I’m exhausted! You all testified, I sent it to the ground anyway! Not a single thing is missing! It’s not wanted in the city! Others don’t want it, so if we take it, it won’t violate military law? Ah?!』
"If you don't commit it, don't commit it! If others don't want it, why can't they let others take it?"
"That's right..."
Several soldiers following Zhu Ling also started making noises.
"..." Wang Wei almost heard the sound of the soldiers around him swallowing their saliva, "That's it... put them in first and then talk..."
The soldiers on the Zhuyang City Wall responded happily, and even the suspension bridge was lowered much faster.
Nowadays, who doesn’t just have to make ends meet?
Zhuyang's original main defense directions were, firstly, the remaining Yellow Turban thieves, and secondly, the hussars in the direction of Wuguan, so the main warning force was still placed in the north. As for the south, which is Wenpin's jurisdiction, basically not
I am very wary. Not to mention Wang Wei, even if someone else comes, unless they have ulterior motives, there is no reason to go to the friendly forces' jurisdiction every day to conduct reconnaissance outposts.
"Bah!" Zhu Ling jumped off the baggage cart carelessly. Although he cursed in a low voice, the sound was just enough for the soldiers on the city top to hear, "I've been tortured to death! I asked, are you breathing?"
Come out and help me!"
Wang Wei shook his head, feeling helpless.
What? You push back because your attitude is bad? Yes, it can relieve your anger for a while, but believe it or not, when the manager and team leader came up, he first dragged these few down to make a board for Wang Wei to see, and then started to do it bit by bit.
Coming back? Are you not counting on supplies in the future, or what are you going to do?
Of course, Wang Wei is not completely helpless, but he just can't fall out on the spot.
Zhuyang soldiers happily opened the city gate, and then helped push the vehicles across the suspension bridge and into the city.
"Ah, this cart is a little heavy..." A Zhuyang soldier who was helping to push the cart couldn't help but said, "What is it packed with? Is it so heavy?"
"..." Zhu Ling's eyes couldn't help but froze, and then he cursed, "Didn't you fucking eat? Isn't it just that you got stuck in the mud? Is the axle stuck? Use a little more force and your movements will be smoother!"
Wang Wei has already come down from the city wall and is preparing to count the supplies. Wang Wei could have ignored this matter originally, but this time, he has to take a good note of this guy. Maybe he has seen this guy before but forgot about it, or maybe he has never seen him before. , but it doesn’t matter, I will remember it well this time.
Zhu Ling didn't seem to care. While walking towards Wang Wei, he reached into his arms and groped around, as if he was about to take out the supply list to check. Then when Wang Wei approached, his eyes suddenly shone with light. He rushed forward and shouted at the same time: "Do it!"
In addition to the first car, the four baggage cars behind suddenly lifted their tarpaulins, and soldiers like wolves and tigers sprang out from the cars, and they started fighting!
...This is a dividing line between shouting and killing...
"If you don't take action now, you will regret it!"
Sun Quan banged the table, then pointed at Zhou Tai, "What are you afraid of? There are only three to five hundred soldiers, and Zhou Youping can turn Jiang Xia Tian upside down with just one general! You guys keep saying that Jingzhou is ten Ten thousand soldiers, don’t act rashly! This is one hundred thousand soldiers! This is Jiangxia, which you regard as a rock!"
Sun Shiwan expressed extreme contempt for the number of one hundred thousand.
Zhang Zhao remained silent.
Zhang Zhao has Zhang Zhao's ideas.
Zhou Yu didn't speak either.
Zhou Yu has Zhou Yu's concerns.
Zhu, Lu, Zhang, Gu, Chen, Wu and others in the hall, including Lu Su, were also silent. Only Sun Quan's voice still lingered.
These Jiangdong families have more ideas. Sun Quan wants to send troops to Jiangxia. On the surface, it seems to be a simple answer. After all, Jiangxia produces copper. This is a well-known thing. Who doesn't like money in this world? Well, What about copper?
But maybe Sun Quan is not just plotting against Jiangxia?
Sun Quan looked left and right. He thought that he had stayed in Jiangdong for a long time, and he felt that he had understood it. Basically, in summary, big things depend on power, and medium-sized things depend on public opinion. Small things depend on relationships. Things that can be solved through personal relationships are all small. If things cannot be solved, public opinion must be created. If public opinion cannot be solved, the powerful must be mobilized.
And now, the message Sun Quan wants to send out is that attacking Jiangxia is a trivial matter. You see, I can just use my personal connections to get it done. It's not as serious as you guys say...
At most, it's just to create some public opinion, that is, to swear an oath to go to war. This is also very simple. Firstly, there is a family feud, and secondly, you can just make some righteousness or something to support it, isn't it?
I heard that Liu Biao is dying and he hasn't been in charge of government for a long time. What are you afraid of?
But the problem is that other people don't see it that way.
Sun Shiwan tried every means to show that this was a trivial matter, but in fact once troops were sent out, it would not be a trivial matter.
Where will the soldiers come from? Where will the food and grass be raised? Who will command and command these many soldiers, and how will they be distributed after Jiangxia is captured? A series of other questions are all problems.
More importantly, now that Jiang Dong has finally suppressed a group of monkeys from the Sun family, is he now taking the initiative to unchain the monkeys so that they can have a chance to become full-fledged again?
How to check and balance, how to control, this is naturally not a trivial matter for the Jiangdong family, so they parted on bad terms again!
Sun Quan returned to his studio angrily. Not long after he sat down, he kicked down the desk angrily. Fortunately, he resisted the urge to chop down the desk with a knife, otherwise he would have to replace it with a new one.
Another wave of gossip is inevitable. Just like the national prince in later generations changing tables, it is all hot topics on the headlines.
At this time, the servants serving around him would always avoid him with great discernment, neither far nor near. They would not appear in Sun Quan's sight and become angry, nor would they be unable to hear Sun Quan's shouts.
The so-called survival of the fittest is vividly displayed here. Those reckless and brainless guys have long been buried under the flowers and trees in that place to make fertilizer.
"Your Majesty, Doctor Lu wants to see you..." The steward gritted his teeth and reported the matter outside the pavilion.
Sun Quan had a stinky face, remained silent for a moment, and then waved his hand, "Please!"
When Lu Su came, he saluted calmly in the hall, then stepped forward to greet him again: "I have met my lord."
"Zijing, sit down..." Sun Quan first had tea served, and then waited for the servant to step back again, then frowned and said, "Why didn't Zijing say anything to help someone just now?"
Lu Su smiled slightly and said: "My lord, what you said is wrong! Su has already secretly helped my lord!"
"Where do you mean it?" Sun Quan shook his sleeves and asked a little strangely.
Lu Su's smile remained unchanged and he said: "Just now, in front of everyone in the court, if you are so solemn and silent, there must be a fight..."
Sun Quan was stunned for a moment, and then he slapped the table with a "pop" sound, "If Zijing hadn't reminded me, so-and-so..." Sun Quan was actually not that stupid, but he was a little impatient and forgot about the small things decided at the meeting.
The small meeting set the rules for major events, and they hurriedly wanted to decide the matter of sending troops to Jiangxia in a public place. This would naturally be useless. After all, Sun Quan's people were not monolithic, and everyone had their own interests.
In fact, many people are silent, which just represents a certain opinion. However, everyone knows that if they speak out, they will inevitably receive veto and doubt from the other party, so it is better to reach a certain compromise and agreement in private, and then in the conference
Put it to a referendum, that would be perfect.
Sun Quan suddenly understood, laughed and said to Lu Su: "Zijing is really smart! So, who does Zijing value?"
"If my lord wants to send troops, the first priority is Zhang Zhao and Zhang Zibu!" Lu Su said in a deep voice.
Sun Quan was a little surprised. He thought Lu Su would talk about Zhou Yu. After all, Zhou Yu had greater influence among the Sun family's soldiers, and if troops were to be sent to Jiangxia now, it would obviously be more appropriate for Zhou Yu to lead them, although sometimes Sun Quan also disliked Zhou Yu.
"My lord, the soldiers and horses have not yet moved the food and fodder..." Lu Su said, "Zhu Gu and his ilk can only be defeated by Zi Bu..."
Sun Quan was stunned.
Zhang Zhao is basically equivalent to Sun Quan's internal affairs manager of people's livelihood, logistics, etc., while Zhou Yu is mostly in charge of the military. Of course there is no problem in fighting, but if Zhou Yu is asked to talk to the Jiangdong family about the amount of food and grass supply, after victory in the future
The distribution ratio and so on are not impossible, but it is always a matter of professional mismatch, and Zhang Zhao is familiar with the twists and turns, so it is certainly much easier to talk about it than Zhou Yu.
At the same time, if we really want to send troops, Zhang Zhao will also need to make overall arrangements for the preparation and transportation of grain and fodder. In addition, if Zhang Zhao agrees, it will be simple to go to Zhou Yu. After all, Zhou Yu originally and Sun Quanzhi
The main conflict between them was also due to Sun Quan's random behavior. If Sun Quan had an overall strategic arrangement and agreed with Jiangdong and his gang, Zhou Yu would naturally not be able to oppose it.
After all, Jiang Xia is also a scar on the Sun family's heart.
Sun Quan laughed, stepped forward and took Lu Su's hand, "Very good, very good! I called immediately... No, go find Zibu! Zibu respects great talents, and he understands the situation. It's true that Zifang is still alive."
