After hearing what Xiao Mohe said, Wu Mingche was not in a hurry to answer his question. Instead, he turned around and slowly handed the silk book on the table to Xiao Mohe: "See for yourself. This is my opinion on this Luliang War."
The summary is prepared to be sent to the capital for your Majesty’s review after careful consideration.”
Xiao Mohe was startled for a moment, and hurriedly took it respectfully. He just scanned it on the silk book, and his expression changed slightly: "The Governor is really planning to disband his troops and return home?"
Wu Mingche sighed deeply: "I have been fighting for the army all my life. Now I am really old and can no longer fight. If I continue to lead the army, I am afraid it will delay these good men. Since I can't fight, there will be no
It is necessary to remain stationary in this position, and it can also make room for you. Many generals have made great contributions in this war, so someone must make room for you to come forward."
Xiao Mohe didn't know how to respond to Wu Mingche's words for a while, but he had to confirm that what Wu Mingche said was the truth. After this battle, let alone others, Xiao Mohe's contribution alone was enough for him to move up a level, and
Now Xiao Mohe is already the second person in the Nanchen Army. Apart from Wu Mingche's position, who else can fill Xiao Mohe's position at the next level?
Smiling slightly, Wu Mingche looked at Xiao Mohe: "As for you asking what the next step should be... Yuan Yin, I can't help you."
"This..." Xiao Mohe clenched his fists and looked at Wu Mingche in surprise. Even if Wu Mingche withdrew from the army, these army officers were all trained by him. Logically speaking, Wu Mingche should not be stingy.
to express one's opinions.
Wu Mingche's hands trembled slightly, as if he was hesitating for something. After a long time, he sighed deeply and looked up at the map marked with many symbols: "Yuan Yin, the only thing I can help you with is help.
Tell your majesty, tell the Gonggun princes in the court that this road from Huainan to Huaibei is impassable!"
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Mohe solemnly cupped his hands.
He already understood what Wu Mingche meant. It seemed that Wu Mingche said nothing or did nothing, but in fact Wu Mingche used his departure to tell the emperor and the officials in the court that it was impossible to attack from Huainan to Huaibei now. Even if
No matter how whimsical they are, there is nothing they can do. Unless they can find another suitable commander, they will have to change the direction of attack according to the army's plan.
"Yuan Yin, I know this sentence may not be said, but I still have to say it. This battle of Luliang... was not what I wanted. Although I tried my best, I had no choice but to withdraw in the end. It was not unexpected.
Things." Wu Mingche's voice was a little low, and he didn't know whether Wu Mingche had more regrets or more regrets when talking about the last battle of his life.
The attack on Luliang this time was not actually Wu Mingche's strong request, but Chen Emperor Chen Xu saw the war between Northern Qi and Northern Zhou and felt that there was an opportunity, so he urged Wu Mingche to advance. At that time, Wu Mingche had just sent the Northern Xuzhou area because of Chen Emperor
It was included under his jurisdiction, which aroused dissatisfaction and criticism from many officials in the court. It was a time of anxiety. After Chen Xu's decree, Wu Mingche would attack even if he had to bite the bullet.
Fortunately, the Northern Qi Dynasty at that time did not have the courage or preparation to fight Nanchen, and they were defeated repeatedly in Luliang, so Wu Mingche was not injured in the beginning.
Therefore, the Battle of Luliang is not so much a lesson to the Nanchen army as it is a lesson to the Nanchen court. Coupled with Wu Mingche's disarmament and return to his fields, perhaps the Gonggun princes in the court can better realize that this Huaibei
The land is not so easy to win.
"The Commander-in-Chief has good intentions and I will always admire him." Xiao Mohe solemnly handed over his hand.
Wu Mingche waved his hand, his eyes never leaving the map hanging on the wall. The old man slowly stretched out his hand and gently touched every corner of the map that was once covered with sweat and dust: "Yuan Yin, although the imperial decree has not yet come down.
, but my departure is already a certainty, and from now on this army... Yuan Yin, I will leave it to you."
The weight of this sentence is very clear to Xiao Mohe: "Great Governor, but what the general said just now, if you don't get the consent of the princes in the court..."
"Oh?" Wu Mingche frowned, then chuckled, "I can't help you. I've done everything I can and should do. The rest can't be done, shouldn't be done, and I don't want to do it.
Do it, Yuan Yin, you have come so far step by step. Although it can be said that you have achieved success, you have done it with your own sword and gun. If anyone doubts your ability, I am afraid that I and General Hou will not agree.
, not to mention Emperor Gaozu Wu’s spirit in heaven, so you just go ahead and do it.”
After a pause, Wu Mingche's eyes were fixed on Xiao Mohe, motionless: "Yuan Yin, I didn't make things difficult for you, and you don't want to make things difficult for me either. I believe you can figure out what to do if you want to take care of yourself.
.”
Before he finished speaking, Wu Mingche turned around and walked slowly towards the back of the screen. He seemed to have remembered something. Before leaving, Wu Mingche pointed at the map on the wall: "I am disarming and returning to the fields. This map is no longer needed. In addition, there are
The military books on the shelves around here are all given to you. If you think they are useful, just take them. If you don’t want them... don’t want them!"
Xiao Mohe shuddered slightly and raised his head suddenly, but there was Wu Mingche's figure in front of him. Looking at the map with Wu Mingche's hard work, Xiao Mohe knew that everything Wu Mingche could do had been done for him.
Wu Mingche couldn't do the rest.
Thinking of the deep helplessness in Wu Mingche's words, Xiao Mohe turned his head and looked outside the door. I don't know when, a bright moon had slowly risen, and its clear light was shining in front of the steps. And what was Xiao Mohe thinking at this time?
, but it is Jinling hundreds of miles away.
The Gong Gong princes in the court, and even Wu Mingche, were at their wits' end. Now that it's Xiao Mohe's turn, can he easily change their hundreds of years of obsession?
But Xiao Mohe also knew that whether it was for the tens of thousands of soldiers, for Da Chen to survive for a long time, or even to fulfill the long-cherished wish of the Southern Dynasty to return to the Central Plains, he must now change the minds of the princes in the court.
Now that Xiao Maha has reached the highest position, he has no choice but to shoulder the responsibility.
At this moment, Wu Mingche's words echoed in Xiao Mohe's mind again.
"Think about it for yourself, think about it for yourself." Xiao Mohe murmured, strode forward and looked at the map with bright eyes, "Grand Governor, I will do my best to complete what you have not done."
This road may be full of ups and downs, but Xiao Mohe is determined!
