Chapter 508: Not enough mutton, the power of the survivors of the subjugated country
Quan Cong watched the generals present putting down their wine bowls. He picked up his chopsticks with satisfaction and picked up a piece of mutton cooked in the copper cauldron. He put it into his mouth and chewed: "Come on, this mutton tastes good. Try it."
."
The generals also picked up the chopsticks, picked up the mutton, chewed it in their mouths, and nodded slowly: "Yes, this lamb tenderloin tastes really good!"
"I have drunk enough wine. In this cold night, I can eat some mutton and drink a bowl of mutton soup. It will be very warm." A thousand-man governor in the hall said "gudu-gudu" and drank a bowl of his own milk.
The steaming mutton soup ladles out of the copper cauldron in front of you,
Quan Cong ate and said again: "Hey, it's a pity that there is only so much mutton, not enough for all the brothers to share a bite."
Qin Dan cupped his fists and said with a smile: "Da Sima, there is no need to feel guilty. As long as our army can occupy the entire territory of Youzhou in one go, by then all the brothers will have mutton to eat and mutton soup to drink."
Quan Cong stroked his beard and said, "Qin Lieutenant is right. In a few days, we will capture the entire territory of Youzhou. I will ensure that all the soldiers in the army have mutton to eat."
Du De seemed to have guessed something. He put down the chopsticks in his hand and said with a smile: "Da Sima must have asked for foreign help. Otherwise, how could he be so sure about winning Youzhou?"
Sun Wu's move to establish his power had an immediate effect. In the following drills, all the palace maids followed Sun Wu's rules honestly. No one dared to play anymore, and the formation drill was naturally a great success.
On the other hand, King Wu Helu was greatly impressed by Sun Wu's methods and appointed Sun Wu as a general. Later, in the battle between Wu and Chu Baiju, Sun Wu strategized and commanded the Wu army to win five out of five battles. Then he took advantage of the situation to pursue and defeated Chu's invasion.
Ying's great achievements greatly expanded the territory of Wu State.
Sima Ranju was another military thinker in the late Spring and Autumn Period. Recommended by Yan Ying, Sima Ranju was appointed as a general by Qi Jinggong and led his troops to resist the armies of Yan and Jin.
Sima Ranju told Qi Jinggong that he had always been a humble person, but he was suddenly promoted to a general. "The soldiers are not attached to him, the people do not believe him, and he is insignificant and has little power." He hoped that Qi Jinggong would appoint a noble minister to serve as a supervisor of the army.
Qi Jinggong thought that what Sima Ranju said was reasonable, and immediately appointed his favorite minister Zhuang Jia. Sima Ranju then made an agreement with Zhuang Jia: they would meet at the military gate tomorrow at noon.
On the next day, Sima Ranju came to the army early, set up a wooden table and a clepsydra, and waited for Zhuang Jia.
Zhuang Jia relied on Qi Jinggong's favor and was used to being arrogant. Now he was appointed as the supervisor of the army. Naturally, his relatives and friends expressed their congratulations and held a banquet for him. Therefore, it was not until sunset that he came to the army.
.
Sima Ranju asked him why he was late, but he even said carelessly that he was late because he was seeing a doctor or relative.
Sima Ranju said: "On the day when you are about to receive an order, you will forget your home; when you are about to be restrained in battle, you will forget your relatives; when it is urgent to support the drums, you will forget about yourself. Now the enemy country is deeply invaded, the country is in turmoil, the soldiers are exposed, and the king is restless.
, the food is not satisfying, the lives of the people are all hanging on the king, what does it mean to send him off? "I ordered the villagers to be executed in accordance with the military law.
Only then did Zhuang Jia realize that he was afraid, so he hurriedly sent someone to report to Qi Jinggong. But before the messenger could return, Sima Rangju had already killed Zhuang Jia.
Duke Jinggong of Qi sent an envoy to rescue Zhuang Jia, but he drove into the army without permission.
Sima Ranju said: "When a general is in the army, the emperor's orders will not be obeyed." Then he asked the military commander: What should be the punishment for casually entering the army?
Jun Zheng said: "Behead!" Sima Ranju believed that the monarch's envoy should not be killed, so he beheaded the envoy's driver, cut off the standing wood on the left side of the cart, killed the horse on the far left, declared to the three armies, and sent
The results of the punishment were reported to Qi Jinggong, and the three armies were shocked. Sima Ranju's prestige was naturally established.
Peng Yue, who helped Liu Bang seize the world in the early Han Dynasty, made a living by fishing in Juye Lake in his early years. After Chen Sheng, Xiang Liang and others rose up, more than a hundred young people in the swamp gathered and followed Peng Yue, saying: "Now there are
Many heroes are vying to raise their banners and betray the Qin Dynasty. You can stand up and we will follow their example."
Peng Yue refused. The young people begged hard, and Peng Yue agreed. He made an agreement with them to gather when the sun came up the next morning, and those who were late would be beheaded.
After sunrise the next day, more than ten people arrived late, and the latest one didn't come until noon.
Peng Yue said, "You insist on electing me as the leader, but there are still so many people late at the appointed time. Now that I cannot kill all the latecomers, I will behead the last person to arrive."
A group of young people thought that Peng Yue was joking with them, and laughed and said, "It's not like this! I won't dare to do this again in the future." However, Peng Yue had already pulled the man out and killed him, and ordered an earth altar to be set up to sacrifice his head. Those young people
Everyone was so frightened that no one dared to look up at him.
After Peng Yue established his power, he led this group of people to attack the city and plunder the land, and collected the stragglers from the princes' armies. The team soon grew to more than a thousand people, and then began to assist Liu Bang in attacking Changyi...
Quan Cong nodded and said: "Captain Du is really insightful. Since Xiangping City has been captured today and the overall situation in Liaodong has been decided, I will no longer hide it from you. This mystery can also be solved."
Qin Dan thought for a while and said: "Da Sima, but the reinforcements sent by Your Majesty to us are about to arrive?"
Quan Cong smiled and said: "No, your Majesty is no longer able to send us another support force. However, before coming to Liaodong, your Majesty and the general secretly sent hundreds of people to Liaodong and found two allies."
, then we will work with our army to capture Liaodong."
Qin Dan thought for a while and then said: "I don't know who this reinforcement is from. I'm afraid Liaodong doesn't have such powerful allies now, right?"
Quan Cong put another piece of mutton tenderloin into his mouth and said: "Okay, I will not hide this from you. There are no such powerful reinforcements in Liaodong, but there are allies outside Liaodong."
Du De said clearly: "Da Sima is talking about Xianbei and Gao Xunli?"
Quan Cong nodded and said: "It's these two families."
Qin Dan asked in confusion: "Haven't Da Sima, Xianbei, and Gao Xunli been crippled by Cao Wei a long time ago? Why are they allies? What's more, Gao Xunli was destroyed by Guanqiu Jian."
Quan Cong explained: "You still have too little knowledge. Did the remnants of the Six Kingdoms be wiped out after the First Emperor annexed them? No, no, even if the Six Kingdoms were destroyed,
But the remnants of the Six Kingdoms are still active in secret, and even the final destruction of Qin was the result of the joint efforts of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms. In this case, who dares to say that the remnants of the Forgotten Kingdom have no power?"
All the generals in the hall nodded and said: "What Grand Sima said is that we have underestimated the strength of Gao Xunli's survivors."
Quan Cong then said: "I have sent people to deliver a message to them before sunset. In two or three days at most, they will be able to send troops to Xiangping for an alliance."
