Li Chang threw the firewood into the stove and sighed: "Tofu is not that difficult to make. The tofu you made the day before yesterday was already very delicious. Why does the general continue? This is not what you should do.
ah."
Yun Zheng vigorously stirred the soy milk in the iron pot with a large shovel, and replied nonchalantly: "The most indifferent person in an army is actually the general. In fact, no strategy, no courage, no force, etc. matter.
The final function of these things is to stabilize the morale of the military. There are only a few war strategies, and they have been played to pieces by our ancestors for thousands of years. Who is smarter than whom?
I may be smarter than one or two people, or smarter than a thousand people, but it is absolutely impossible to be smarter than more than 40,000 people combined. I don't need to do anything more, as long as the whole army feels at ease when they see me.
As long as the soldiers feel that I will not come up with bad ideas, will not run away when they are fighting the enemy to the death, and will not take the credit for their lives, they will be able to win many battles on their own initiative, even if it is a war
No matter how difficult it is, as long as you look back and see the general still watching the battlefield under the general's flag, you can grit your teeth and persevere.
Persistence is the key to victory in most battles. Therefore, a general with a reputation for wisdom but a lazy behavior is the greatest help to the soldiers. The officer is responsible for specific matters, and the military judge exercises the power of rewards and punishments. As for facing the enemy in battle,
The person who directs the army to kill the enemy is actually the team officer. The people who finally go to the battlefield to fight face to face are the soldiers. The general only needs to issue the order to attack or retreat at the appropriate time. It is too complicated to take care of too much.
On the contrary, it is not beautiful.”
Li Chang stood up and held up his hands to show that he was taught. Yun Zheng smiled again and said: "I can use this method, but you must not use it on yourself. There are preconditions for me to do this. This method is not suitable for all armies. Only the generals can use it."
It can only be used when there is no gap between you and your subordinates. If you use it mechanically in the future and end up with all your subordinates running away, don't blame me."
Li Chang shook his head and said: "I can't be a general. I still have this self-knowledge. After this battle is over, I, Li Chang, will have no problem becoming a qualified military supervisor. I will not give in to matters that are my responsibility. I will not give in to matters that are not my responsibility."
I will never interfere in matters that are beyond my control. It is my greatest responsibility to straighten out the trust issue between the general and the court."
Yun Zheng was silent for a while and finally put down the shovel and said, "Thank you!"
Li Chang continued: "The general is far away from the capital. There are thousands of mountains and rivers in between, and things on the battlefield are ever-changing. Sometimes the decisions made by the generals may not be in line with the opinions of the imperial city, not to mention that the generals command the soldiers of the imperial court.
Ma Zhengzhan was in a high-ranking position outside the capital. If anyone said that the capital was unprepared, no one would believe it. At this time, as the supervisor of the army, he had to gain trust from the emperor on the one hand and the general on the other. He was the best intermediary. If the general had something to hide, he
You might as well let the supervisor do it and say it, the effect will definitely be better than the general saying it himself."
Yun Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "Abandoning the Qinwang River is an order given by me, the general. Your Majesty said that Fu Bi will die in the Qinwang River. I am only worried that the princes in the court do not understand our intention to abandon the Qinwang River.
"
Li Chang smiled and said: "The general's thoughts are not on the little Qin Wangchuan, let alone on the person Wu Zangying Pang, or even on the Xixia people. I wonder if my guess is correct?"
Yun Zheng laughed loudly and said, "Did you see it?"
"You made it so obvious. Wouldn't I be a fool if I couldn't see it anymore? If you led the army to Qinwangchuan after the battle of Luanshipo, you would have had enough time, but you never went there from the beginning of the war.
Qin Wangchuan's plan, there are mountains of grain on Chencang Road, but you are leading everyone to eat beans. I am reviewing all the military ration accounts shipped from Shuzhong. If there is no hidden treasure as you said, it will definitely be returned to the Xixia Valley.
There is no need for Qinzhou to make such full preparations.
Build walls high and store grain widely. This is your preparation for a protracted war. I just don't understand, who are you going to deal with? I can't explain it to the court unless you make it clear."
Yun Zheng picked up a branch, casually drew a simple map on the ground, and marked the names of several obvious geographical locations so that Li Chang could see it more clearly.
Finally, he drew a few arrows on it, touched the map with firewood and said: "To show the enemy weakness, Fu Bi must retreat. If we don't retreat, how will it mean that we are exhausted?"
The Qinzhou Army suffered heavy losses this time. According to what Fu Bi said in his letter, the loss was almost half. This is the real situation. More than 20,000 soldiers shed blood on the battlefield and only exchanged for the heads of more than 40,000 Xixia people. This deal regardless of
No matter what, it's a loss.
Wu Zangying Pang still has 100,000 mercenaries, and it stands to reason that he still has the strength to fight. I just want Wu Zangying Pang to vent his anger on others.
The purpose of my coming to Qinzhou is for the Hehuang land. This idea has never changed. Even if Fu Bi's entire army is wiped out, I will still plot the Hehuang land. With the Hehuang land, the Song Dynasty will truly have the ability to dominate the world.
A Fu Bi is indeed nothing, and it would not be a problem for me to die if necessary. Unfortunately, the princes in the court only wanted to seek no merit but no fault, and issued a death order asking me to stick to Qinzhou.
If I hadn't hidden any lies and made no mistakes, and if I hadn't sent Zhang Zhi to attack Chencang Road out of greed, my life would have been even more difficult. Now that I have Zhang Zhi as a candle, I can finally give an explanation to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
Lao Li, I was born to be a stubborn donkey. I will not give up until I achieve my goal. Even if the process is bloody and cruel, I will not care. The Song Dynasty wants to regain the sixteen states of Yanyun. If it does not take the land of Hehuang, there is no hope.
If Huangdi fell into the hands of the Song Dynasty, we would be able to control Qingtang from a distance, establish a Jiedu in Longyou, and form a territorial encirclement of Xixia, turning Xixia's Hengshan defense line into a decoration, allowing Xingqing to
The eight-hundred-mile vast sea in my mansion has become a big joke. Di Shuai and I have been studying this for a whole year. Tell me, how could I give up such a God-given opportunity?"
Li Chang frowned and said: "Where is the good opportunity? Although Pang has suffered a big loss without hiding anything, his muscles and bones are still there..."
"His muscles and bones can't be preserved for a few days. Dong Fei, and Qing Yi are the two most determined to retaliate. The Xixia people have been wreaking havoc on the land of Qingtang for more than three months, causing great losses to Qingtang."
It is not a small matter. Dong Fei became the new owner of Qingtang. Instead of benefiting the people, he was chased everywhere. It was a huge blow to his prestige. The political system of Qingtang was not a whole like the Song Dynasty.
They are a tribe, a union of tribes. Jiao Siluo relies on strong force to knead these tribes into a group. Once something happens, these tribes will fall apart and there will be no loyalty at all.
For the future of Qingtang, and also for Dong Zang's own power, he must also go to war with the Xixia people who have been greatly weakened. He has no fault for this. Since he has been sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight for so long, he will not pick up a dead tiger.
How to explain to the tribes who suffered heavy losses when they return?
Lao Li, from now on, it’s our turn to sit back and watch the fight between tigers and tigers.”
Li Chang nodded happily and said that he knew how to report the battle situation in Qinzhou to the emperor. When he saw that the soy milk had been cooked, he scooped it out of the cauldron and poured it into a large wooden barrel. Over the past few days, he had become very accustomed to this.
Already working.
He didn't care if he was a lowly servant, he only cared about who he was working with, just like carrying water in Tokyo at the beginning of spring. No one felt it was a humiliation. Being able to work with the emperor was more of a privilege.
Such an honor.
In the same way, when the general is grinding beans, it becomes an elegant pleasure for him, the supervisor, to cook the soy milk over a fire.
As the gypsum water was slowly poured into the soy milk bucket, the light yellow soy milk immediately reacted and quickly solidified from a milky state. This was tender tofu. Both of them lost interest in eating tofu curd. They had been eating it for the past few days.
Tired of eating.
Use a large spoon to scoop the tofu into a wooden frame lined with linen, then wrap the tofu tightly with the cloth, and finally cover it with a wooden sign. Press a big stone on the wooden raft and look at the gaps in the wooden frame.
Dripping water out, he stopped what he was doing and began to sit at the small table and drink together, like two farmers who had just finished working and rewarded themselves...
Fu Bi left in a hurry after leaving Qin Wangchuan. He was not worried that Pang would catch up with him, but he wanted to see Yun Zheng as soon as possible and ask him face to face why he behaved so abnormally. He would not believe it anyway.
Yun Zheng had the idea of putting him to death.
However, he led his army to fight hard in Qin Wangchuan and suffered countless casualties. Regardless of his purpose, Yun Zheng had to give a reasonable answer to the Qinzhou Army soldiers who died in the battle, otherwise he would not let this person go even if he was a ghost.
After walking less than thirty miles and climbing up Jincheng Ridge, I turned around and saw thick smoke rising from the Qinwangchuan Dazhai. It seemed that it had just been ravaged by gunpowder. This must be Jia Kui's trap. There is no need to worry about Jia Kui now.
, his men are all cavalry and will catch up soon.
There is still no movement in Xiaoluomen Village. It is estimated that Jia Kui has placed a trap there. It is not known whether Pang will fall for such an obvious trap. All the gunpowder in the Qinzhou Army is there and cannot be left behind.
Of Xixia people.
After crossing the mountains, Fu Bi continued to lead his troops. Suddenly, he heard a series of muffled thunders coming from the other side of the mountain. This was the explosion of gunpowder in Xiaoluomen Village. He was stunned for a moment. It was an obvious trap that was not hidden.
Will scammers be fooled?
Shaking his head to get rid of this strange thought, he ran along the road towards Qinzhou. At this time, no soldier thought there was anything wrong with marching at full speed. For them, the further away from the flesh and blood mill of Qinwangchuan, the better.
A group of cavalry came to greet him at the foot of Jincheng Ridge. Fu Bi looked at the young man leading him up and down, frowned and said: "You are the young army that Yun Zheng created with all his heart? Why are you all half-grown boys?"
Tiger stepped forward and saluted, then stood up straight and said: "You are not as young as you are when you have ambitions!" (To be continued)
