After Liu Rengui heard this, he got up and went to the bookstore to pick up a battle report. He came back and remade it and handed it to Zheng Rentai. He said: "My lord, look at this. The battle report just arrived. The Youwuwei crossed the Weishui River and went south yesterday.
With the King of Jin's butt, he annihilated ten thousand Cui's private army in Tongrenyuan."
Zheng Rentai was shocked: "Xue Wanche led his army across the river to the south?"
He quickly took the battle report and read it carefully.
After reading it, I was silent for a long time.
Previously, in order to prevent the King of Jin from marching to Chang'an from Tongguan, the imperial court ordered the armies of the Sixteenth Guards to march to Ba River to set up defense lines. As a result, Xue Wanche openly disobeyed the emperor's order and not only failed to cross the Weishui River to stop Yuchi Gong as ordered, but instead led his troops to retreat dozens of times.
Here, the government and the public were in an uproar, and everyone believed that Xue Wanche had defected to the Jin Dynasty and garrisoned troops north of the Weishui River, eyeing Chang'an.
As a result, Xue Wanche was still Your Majesty's opponent. This time he crossed the Weishui River, all the forces in Guanzhong thought that they wanted to join forces with the King of Jin, and joined forces to attack Chang'an. However, in the end, Cui, the former general of the Tongren, left the King of Jin behind.
His private army strangled them all...
Fortunately, the King of Jin did not trust Xue Wanche's surrender. Otherwise, if he put Xue Wanche's Youwu Guards together with his own army of 100,000, wouldn't he be sleeping with a wolf?
It can be seen that the current situation is not as favorable to King Jin as it seems. There are many overt and covert methods and strategies of the imperial court. King Jin wants to approach Chang'an City to cause turmoil and overthrow the throne. I am afraid it is not as easy as imagined.
.
Although such a strategy of luring the snake out of its hole is extremely dangerous and will suffer backlash if it is not done correctly, if it is done correctly, it can indeed eliminate the opposition in the court once and for all, firmly control the government, and make the throne as stable as a rock.
After all, the new emperor is not yet bound to implement the New Deal, and there are no many constraints to implement the New Deal to the world...
This is a big game of chess, and everyone is swept up in it. With the ups and downs of the waves, disasters are likely to occur.
I don't know what to say, so I can only sigh: "The Cui family's private army is tragic."
He was the head of the Zheng family in Xingyang, and he led his clan's private army to fight against the navy. Naturally, he knew that the clan's private army lacked training, was poorly equipped, and was of low quality. He dared to risk his life in a decisive battle with a powerful enemy, and finally...
Sacrifice requires what kind of courage and determination.
The Cui family of Qinghe has a well-deserved reputation.
However, Liu Rengui chuckled and said disapprovingly: "The army is the army and the people are the people. If farmers have to distribute weapons and weapons to disguise them, how is it different from bandits? It is not impossible for aristocratic families to exist. Poems and books can be passed down from family to family, opening up the people's wisdom and teaching.
The local people are well-informed and courteous, and the Chinese culture is inherited. These are the contributions of the aristocratic families. However, monopolizing the place, exploiting the people, and even cutting off the connection between the court and the people prevented the government from going to the countryside, treating a piece of land as private property, and there was no one in sight.
The imperial court has no empire in its heart, and can sell everything for profit, but this is the way to death for the clan. You think that you can separate one party by taking control of its military and political wealth, or you can wait for chaos to swallow up the land and enslave the people.
, but you don’t know that you yourselves will eventually die because of this.”
This is what Fang Jun often talks about. All his subordinates feel their ears are about to get calluses when they hear it, but they also deeply believe it.
When a clan isolates the imperial court for their own selfish desires, prohibits government orders from going to the countryside, uses money to support private armies or even bribes the army, trying to treat a state or county as a piece of their pocket, the final outcome is bound to be a military-political conflict.
The result of the conflict between the military and the government will inevitably be that the military becomes dominant and politics will be completely crushed.
"No matter how rigorous political power is, it is just a flower in the mirror and a tree without roots. Only the army is the symbol of imperial sovereignty. After all, political power comes from the handle of a knife."
When Liu Rengui came to such a conclusion, he was naturally "plagiarizing" Fang Jun's words...
Zheng Rentai was silent for a while and asked: "Why can't the private armies of clans develop and grow under the nourishment of clans, and in turn maintain clan politics?"
"The combat effectiveness of the army lies in training, equipment, and strategy...but the most important thing is belief. The belief of the private army lies in the clan. They fight for the clan. They seem not to be afraid of sacrifice...but that's just what they seem.
That's all. The Cui family's private army has actually reached the ultimate level of a clan's private army. However, in front of Youwuwei, it is like a mantis' arms blocking a cart. It is vulnerable to a single blow and is instantly crushed into powder. This is because the soldiers in Youwuwei are from
From all over the world, they fight for the empire and for China. This magnanimity and courage are nourished by the dragon energy of the Nine Provinces and the destiny of China. How can they be compared with the private armies who know their own place? For example, you and I, when you are for
Fighting for the interests of one family and one surname, we have to fight with each other, and we have the Xingyang Zheng family behind you. However, when we fight for the territory of the empire and to defend against external insults, we have the entire empire behind us, and we have the Kyushu Tripod in our hearts.
,Family, country and world!”
The mind determines the pattern, and the pattern determines the achievement.
When a person fights for his country and hundreds of millions of people, he is almost invincible. Even though he may die in a battle, his soul will remain immortal.
Even if he is just an illiterate trafficker, when he is in it, he will naturally be infected by the majestic momentum and plunge into it without any regrets.
Zheng Rentai remained silent and frowned.
This was an argument he had never heard before, subverting the values he had already formed, but it sounded very reasonable...
Family, country, world.
Personal success and failure, honor and disgrace, life and death, what do they count in the vast land of China and the Chinese bloodline that has been passed down for thousands of years? Zheng Rentai, who has struggled back from the edge of death countless times, deeply understands that there is no limit to the upper limit of the spirit. The more fearless he is, the more he becomes.
He is capable of bursting out extremely strong combat power. When a person is in such a state, he abandons the honor and disgrace of life and death, and only has the world of China and hundreds of millions of people in his heart, who can defeat him?
Liu Rengui stood up, and under the service of his own soldiers, he put on the armor and stomach piece by piece on his body, including breastplate, shoulder covering, shoulder armor, shoulder armor, arm armor, belly armor, robe belly, pelvis armor, falcon tail, and hanging legs.
Tie Ni Lin... every part is meticulous and neatly dressed, which is the most stringent thing in the navy.
There is nothing you can do about dying on the battlefield because you are not strong enough to fight, but if you die on the battlefield because you are lazy and fail to protect your body, this is the lowest mistake. Pao Ze may sympathize with you, but most of them will sneer at you.
, or even use your name as a negative example to warn generations of newcomers. This is absolutely unbearable.
Finally, he put a horizontal sword on his waist, Liu Rengui put down his visor, and said: "Let's go, send the order for the whole army to move out, rush to Tongrenyuan to join forces with Youwuwei, and then join forces and move towards the south. We have to give
His Royal Highness the King of Jin felt a sense of urgency, so he rushed to Chang'an to quickly end this war."
This time, from the south of the Yangtze River to the north, along the canal, they swept through and defeated the Jiangnan private army, the Zheng family's private army, Luoyang, Hangu Pass, and Tongguan. The military power suppressed the entire Kanto region. The name of "Liu Rengui" resounded throughout the world, just in time.
He took the opportunity to enter the court to realize his lifelong ambition. He couldn't wait for this day to come as soon as possible.
Zheng Rentai followed him silently out of the tent.
Compared with the outcome of the entire war, the shock caused by the destruction of the Cui family's private army obviously made Zheng Rentai feel more deeply. If he had not immediately changed his mind when he realized that the current situation was not good, I am afraid that the Cui family now would be the same as the Zheng family.
.
The once glorious and glorious family could influence the ownership of imperial power and even compete in the Central Plains. Although they still played an important role in this war, they frequently suffered disasters and were massacred. This also verified Liu Rengui's words just now from the side.
The family members of the aristocratic family must completely eliminate their chronic diseases and transform into a royal family. Otherwise, if they want to rely on past experience to continue to separate one party and dominate, the end will be extremely miserable.
This means that the military is about to completely break away from the control of clans and become the master of the world's situation.
Military power has completely distanced itself from powerful families, and political power without military power will either depend on the army and be sucked by it and eventually suffer backlash, or simply let it go and give up its previous survival model.
In short, the powerful family can no longer cover the sky with one hand like before...
*****
Bailuyuan, the main tent of the Chinese army.
King Li Zhi of Jin looked at Changsun Wuji who was walking in quickly from outside. He ignored his frivolous steps and haggard expression. He suppressed his anger and spoke with a stern look through his teeth: "Young Master Ying might as well talk to this king.
, Qiu Xinggong, whom you recommended to guard Hangu Pass, not only did not resist desperately, but even opened the city and surrendered as soon as the enemy troops arrived at the pass? Why did Xue Wanche, who had sworn allegiance to the king, suddenly cross the river to attack, and the Tongren
They originally annihilated more than 10,000 Cui's private troops, but now they are even more murderous, threatening to capture me alive and present him to the puppet emperor for official punishment? Huh?!"
Li Zhi, who had always been elegant and elegant, could not suppress the anger in his heart no matter what, in front of Yuwen Shiji.
Yu Wenshiji looked dejected and speechless.
He screened these two people, and after confirming that they were correct, he asked the King of Jin to appoint them with confidence. However, accidents happened, and he was naturally to blame. How to explain it?
Li Zhi's anger continued: "This king is not asking for accountability, but I want to ask you, if these two people are not trustworthy, how can you guarantee to me that all the forces you contact in Guanzhong are trustworthy? Yes.
Or did they promise that the king would raise troops to respond, but in fact they would betray the king when the situation came to pass, and offer my head in front of the false emperor to seek reward?"
Although the army had long ago abandoned Hangu Pass and moved south from Tongguan to attack Chang'an, the two events of Qiu Xinggong's loss of Hangu Pass and Xue Wanche's attack across the river cut off the army's retreat, seriously affecting the morale of the army, and the consequences were extremely disastrous.
His last sentence is the focus of the current situation: Who is trustworthy and who is not?
Yu Wenshiji stood there, sweating in the face of Li Zhi's questioning about his responsibilities, his head was exhausted, and his heart was apart. All he could do was try his best. How could he guarantee such a thing?
