Tang Yin looked up and smiled, and said pointedly: "I am very relieved about this!"
Hearing something in the king's words, Nie Ze thought for a moment and understood what the king was referring to. He said: "About what happened when our army was trapped in Changdu..."
Before he could finish speaking, Tang Yin waved his hand. It would be really harmful to mention this while eating.
He said with a smile: "I know all this, and I think General Nie's actions are not wrong. As the commander of an army, it is only natural and right to ensure the survival of his officers and soldiers and the combat effectiveness of the entire army.
Nothing is more important than this!"
His words moved Nie Ze. He knew very well that he allowed his subordinates to kill people and cannibalism would not be accepted by the world, let alone forgiven by people. Unexpectedly, the king could understand him.
At this point, is there any reason for me not to help and follow the king? He felt warm in his heart, his eyes were red, and he said with a slightly trembling voice: "There is no one who knows your ministers better than the king! The king's kindness to the humble ministers is so small.
I will never forget it, even if I am broken into pieces in this life and work like a bull in the next life, I still cannot repay the kindness of the king!"
Hearing Nie Ze's statement, Tang Yin's face suddenly straightened. He held Nie Ze's raised hands tightly and said word by word: "General Nie is so sincere, I can also guarantee General Nie,
As long as I am still here, and as long as our Feng Kingdom survives, then General Nie will always have a share in Feng Kingdom’s country, and there will always be a place for General Nie in Feng Kingdom’s court!”
Nie Ze could no longer control his emotions, so he stood up and knelt down, crying loudly. As a general of one country, he turned to another country. During this period, he had to endure so many looks, so many grievances and so much pain. What a feeling.
, which is difficult for others to understand.
Seeing a tough-minded man like Nie Ze crying bitterly in front of him, Tang Yin felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He gently pulled Nie Ze up and said: "Men don't shed tears lightly! Okay,
Get up quickly!"
After a while, Nie Ze calmed down his out-of-control emotions. He wiped the tears on his face with his sleeves and said in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being rude."
Tang Yin didn't say anything more, just patted him on the shoulder. After a while, he changed the topic and said: "I heard that you and Chen Xiu and others often have differences in the army. If you think they are your deputy generals,
If they are not satisfied, I will find a way to transfer them away."
He is still very confident in his intuition. Through Nie Ze's performance just now, he has concluded that Nie Ze's loyalty to him will no longer be a problem. In this case, it makes no sense to keep Chen Xiu and the other four with him.
Well, if there is really a conflict between them, it is better to separate in time. After all, discord between generals is a taboo in the army.
Nie Ze shook his head repeatedly and said: "No, no! Wei Chen appreciates the king's kindness. Wei Chen is a Zhen person, and General Chen and the others are Feng people. They have different traditions and customs. It is normal to have differences in things. As long as
The more you grind it in, the better it will be.”
The King intends to transfer Chen Xiu and the others, which means that the King has further trust in himself. This is enough. As for whether to transfer Chen Xiu and the others, it has become irrelevant. In this case, he will transfer Chen Xiu and others.
If the person stays, the king will feel more at ease, so why not?!
After hearing what Nie Ze said was sincere, Tang Yin stopped forcing him and said with a smile: "In the future, if you feel there is anything wrong, just bring it up to me and don't force it."
"Yes! I would like to thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
Through this heart-to-heart talk, it can be said that Tang Yin and Nie Ze have brought the relationship between them a big step closer. If you want to win someone's heart, it is not enough to rely on fame, fortune and high-pressure methods. In the end,
You still have to rely on your heart.
The Feng army won a complete victory in the battle of Changdu, which allowed them to occupy the entire Zeping County.
The unfavorable war situation plunged the Mo Kingdom into panic. The loss of Zeping County directly caused the Mo Kingdom to fall into passivity. From now on, the surrounding counties and counties of Zeping County will have to deploy heavy defenses, which will contain the Mo Kingdom to a great extent.
country’s military strength.
Shao Fang was very angry about this, especially Yuan Cheng, who had just been promoted by him. Bad things happened in his hands. Shao Fang wanted to kill this man with a knife, but Yuan Cheng had been captured by Feng Jun and wanted to vent his anger on him.
Since no one could be found, Shao Fang vented all his anger on Yuan Cheng's family and sent dozens of members of his family to prison.
After that, Shao Fang sent another letter to question the three commanders Wu Min, Gaozong, and He Cong. How did they fight this battle? Why did his side lose so miserably when the strength of his side and Feng's army were equal?
, but the Feng army suffered little loss.
In their replies, Wu Min, Gaozong, and He Cong emphatically explained that the Feng Army had invested a mysterious force in this battle, which was made of steel and iron, inferior to swords and guns, and had amazing combat power. Therefore, they suffered a big loss on the battlefield.
The mysterious military force they were talking about was the ninth legion of the Feng Kingdom.
Shao Fang's nose almost turned crooked when he saw the three people's replies. What kind of bullshit mysterious military force, what kind of steel and iron bones, not as good as swords and guns. Could it be that the Feng Army also invited heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals?
Shao Fang was furious, and the ministers below did not dare to speak to Wu Mian, Gaozong, and He Cong. People went down to the wells one after another and said: "Wu Mian, Gaozong, and He Cong are not handsome people, and it is difficult to shoulder the responsibility."
Great job!"
"The four-pronged army and the four commanders-in-chief did not have a unified leader, which resulted in the lack of command of the entire army. This was the main reason for our army's defeat!"
"That's right! Your Majesty should quickly choose a new commander with outstanding talents to organize our army to regroup and take back Zeping County!"
These "hindsight" ministers of Mo State began to give advice to Shao Fang. Shao Fang heard one thing and the other two. Now he is asked to change his commander quickly. Who should be replaced? Who is it?
Can he still be worthy of such an important task?
The left prime minister Guo Hui stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I think General Nan Yan, the commander of the Huben Army, is qualified for the job!"
Shao Fang's eyes lit up, yes, why did he forget about Nan Yan? He is an old commander in the army, rich in experience, and brave and good at fighting. He is the most suitable candidate to resist and counterattack the Feng army.
But before he could speak, Nan Yan had already walked out of the generals' column, raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, with the talents of a junior general, it is already the limit to unify the army. If the junior general is allowed to command an army of hundreds of thousands,
The last general...the last general is really beyond his capabilities!"
In fact, Nan Yan's talent is not much worse than Qing Yu's, and he is even better than Qing Yu in some places. It is because of this that he can see the current situation more clearly than others.
Our biggest advantage against the Feng Army is the cavalry, but now the Feng Army uses heavy cavalry, which has completely eliminated our cavalry advantage. This directly leads to our own disadvantage on the battlefield of direct confrontation. Therefore, we can hold on and counterattack if we want to.
, is undoubtedly a fantasy, this is one of them.
Secondly, he has an upright personality and has offended many ministers in the court. I don’t know how many people are waiting for an opportunity to impeach him. If he leads troops into war, as long as the war is slightly unfavorable, these ministers in the court will be punished.
We will definitely add fuel to the fire and slander you in front of your Majesty.
Third, and most importantly, he is too disappointed with the current court. Originally, there were loyal ministers like Dong Sheng, the right prime minister, who supported the overall situation, but now, the right prime minister has been impeached and is under house arrest.
, loyal ministers and virtuous ministers were persecuted one after another, died, and were exiled. Even the royal family, which was the most important to the monarch and the right-hand man of the monarch, was now completely eradicated by the king. All the ministers in the dynasty, and the rest were like
The Left Prime Minister Guo Hui, the General Li Jin, and the Grand Tutor Zhang Rong are all bad guys who are good at flattery. From the bottom of their hearts, Nan Yan no longer believes that Mo will win or make peace in this war.
For these reasons, Nan Yan was disheartened and declined Guo Hui's recommendation.
Nan Yan refused bluntly, and he claimed that he was not capable enough to command an army of hundreds of thousands. This made Shao Fang a little dumbfounded. In the end, he could only look at Guo Hui and ask him if he had any other candidates.
Guo Hui smiled slightly and said: "General Nan Yan is too modest. If General Nan Yan is not qualified for the job, then I am afraid that no one among the generals in the Manchu Dynasty is qualified for the job."
At this time, General Li Jin also stood up and said: "Yes! General Nan, the country is in crisis now. When it comes to hiring people, it is too late for you to be humble."
Nan Yan looked at Guo Hui, then at Li Jin, and sneered in his heart. He raised his eyes and raised his hands to Shao Fang and said: "Your Majesty, I have a suitable candidate in my heart who can definitely take on this important task. As soon as this person comes out, the Feng Army will surely be defeated."
I’m scared to hear this!”
"Oh? Come on, who does General Nan recommend?" Shao Fang was delighted, his eyes were shining, and he looked at Nan Yan without blinking.
Nan Yan raised his hand and pointed at Li Jin and said: "That's the general! When the country is in crisis, the general, as the head of the generals, should go to war for the country and share the worries of the king. What's more, the general has high moral and prestige in the army and is famous. As long as
As soon as the general comes out, the morale of our soldiers will be doubled, and the thieves and barbarians will be wiped out!"
His words praised Li Jin thoroughly, but instead of feeling any joy, Li Jin in his heart sent a collective greeting to all the eighteen generations of ancestors in Nanyan.
He himself knows best what he is worth. As a general, he relies on his noble background and the ability to figure out the monarch's thoughts through power play. If you let him play with people, you can play with soldiers. Then, let him play with soldiers.
It's like risking his life, and he doesn't dare to fight the Feng army even if he is beaten to death.
Shao Fang was cruel to the point of cruelty, but he still knew how to recognize people. He knew how capable Li Jin was and asked Li Jin to lead the army to fight against the Feng army. He would kill as many people as he had.
His face darkened and he said coldly: "General Nan, I have nothing to say before you, are you trying to fool me?"
Nan Yan raised his head and asked: "Does the king think that the general wants to have his position but is incompetent?"
