Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 408
In Shaoyun's military camp outside the county seat, Li Yanxian and his important generals gathered together.

A large fire was lit in the middle, and a lamb and three chickens were roasted on it, and pork was cooked in a pot next to it.

The guard filled everyone's bowls with wine.Li Yanxian raised the wine and said: "It's been a long time, we haven't gathered together to talk. Let's drink the wine in the bowl, today we won't go home without getting drunk!"

After speaking, he drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp.Everyone drank the wine one after another and picked up the meat to eat.

After drinking for three rounds, Li Yanxian said: "I have called you here today, and there is one more thing. Governor Xiang Deng proposed that our two armies merge. This is not something I can decide on my own. Let's discuss it together."

Feng Saidao: "The management of this matter can be decided! I will follow orders!"

Li Yanxian sighed: "Wang Zhenfu has nothing to say about leading troops to fight, and everyone has seen it. These days, I have been in Guozhou with him, and I have a general understanding of him. Everything else is good, just a little, Don’t leave room for things.”

Shao Xing's expression changed.Asked: "Why did Jinglue say that?"

Li Yanxian said: "I asked how to merge. Wang Zhenfu said directly that the soldiers in Shanzhou were retrained and mixed with their subordinates. Merger means really merged together, not just the name. Either completely merged in this way, or separate through each."

Shao Yun couldn't help but angrily said: "If you say that, doesn't this guy want to annex us!"

Li Yanxian was silent for a while.After thinking and thinking, he nodded and said, "Although that's not the meaning, it's true."

Shao Yun sneered and said: "At the beginning of the year Lou Su was besieged in Shanzhou, and Dengzhou soldiers came to rescue me. I thought he was a good man! I didn't expect that it was because of this idea in the end! How much wind and rain have we Shanzhou soldiers and horses gone through? In this way, you will submit to others!"

Li Yanxian said: "When I killed Hu Shuye, why did you and Uncle Shao submit to me?"

After hearing this, Shao Yun couldn't help being stunned.After a while, he said: "Jinglue is dedicated to serving the country, Hu Shuye is looking for his own death, what can we say? I waited for the army to expel the Jin people and protect the villagers. When will I take my honor and disgrace to heart!"

Li Yanxian said: "Let me tell you, I am facing Wang Zhenfu now, just like you were when you faced me back then. You can trust me? Moreover, Wang Zhenfu didn't kill me, and even saved our Shanzhou Army again."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help being stunned, and looked at Li Yanxian together.

Li Yanxian said: "Wang Zhenfu, in my opinion, is a person who serves the country wholeheartedly and fights against gold thieves. However, he has great ambitions and does not want to waste his thoughts on some trivial matters. In the current situation, our cooperation with Dengzhou Bing is two That's why he proposed the merger. If we don't agree, Wang Zhenfu probably won't take it to heart. In the end, we have less than [-] soldiers, so we are not very attractive."

Lu Yuandeng said: "During this entry, the Dengzhou army recruited more than 3 civilians. Including Wei Yi's defeated troops, there are about [-] people. I heard from people in Dengzhou that these people only need to train for half a year. Good soldier."

Shao Xing couldn't help frowning: "What do you mean? In the eyes of Dengzhou soldiers, we are the same as ordinary people?"

Lu Yuandeng said: "It can't be said that they are exactly the same, but they are similar."

Shao Xing turned his head, looked at his colleagues around him, and felt incredible when he saw that everyone else nodded.Said: "I have been waiting for four or five years to fight against gold. I don't know how many battles I have fought, how can I be like the common people!"

Song Yan said: "Uncle, we have fought a lot of battles. But how should I put it, Dengzhou soldiers fight differently from us. In comparison, we are just like ordinary people, it seems that we don't know how to fight."

Li Yanxian said: "To be honest, it is precisely because of this that I think it is not too much for Wang Zhenfu to train our entire army. The two armies are completely different. It seems that we can't let the Dengzhou army learn from us, or it can only be like this. "

Shao Xing said: "Jing Lue, according to your opinion, are you willing to merge according to what Wang Zhenfu said?"

Li Yanxian nodded: "Wang Zhenfu spoke too bluntly, which really made me a little unhappy. But when I think about it carefully, I don't despise us, and that's the truth. Standing in Wang Zhenfu's position, he is not very willing to take our soldiers. , it’s just that Shangzhou and Lu’s are important.”

Shao Xing clapped his hands together: "Then what else can I say? It's enough to decide on the strategy! The two brothers Shao Yun and I followed because of the strategy to resist the gold with all our hearts. As long as we fight against the Jin army, what's the hindrance to being a Dengzhou soldier?" ?”

Li Yanxian looked at the silent Dang Song and asked, "How does the Dang General feel about this?"

Dang Song said: "After the merger, I don't know how to manage any positions? How can we arrange for us?"

Li Yanxian said: "Dengzhou soldiers will build the front, rear, left, right, and middle armies, and I will be the commander of the middle army, and I will also raise a line of affairs. All of you will enter the military academy and see how you learn. Refer to your previous positions and start over again. Appointment. The big principle is that your class remains unchanged."

Dang Song said: "If you don't study well, will you change your position?"

Li Yanxian nodded: "That's a natural thing. Wang Zhenfu's army has always been like this. Don't talk about us, among the soldiers and horses left by his father, some generals who are not suitable for leading troops are gradually no longer leading troops. The army is for fighting, and of course unsuitable people cannot stay in the army."

Dang Song said: "What Jinglue said is true. I have nothing to say, Jinglue will decide with one word!"

Li Yanxian looked at the crowd and said in a deep voice: "If you have no objection, I will call Wang Zhenfu tomorrow and the two armies will merge. We will all withdraw to Dengzhou and retrain and reorganize in one year. Shangzhou and Lu's, Hand over to Dengzhou soldiers to garrison."

When everyone heard this, they didn't know what it was like for a while.Merging is good, but in this way, it's not pleasant.

In the county government office, Wang Ruohai said to Wang Xiaolie: "Tonight Li Jinglue is discussing with the generals in his army whether or not to agree to merge. But I see that Zhenfu doesn't care about this matter at all."

Wang Xiaolie said: "It's not that we don't care, it's that it's useless for us to care about this matter, only what Li Jinglue means."

Wang Ruohai was silent for a while.Said: "Zhenfu, forgive me, you have done too much. If you agree to Li Jinglue, after the merger of the two armies, they will still divide their troops. He should readily agree. After the merger, find a way to reorganize. say what?"

Wang Xiaolie looked at Wang Ruohai.Seriously, he said, "Sensei, it's not that I don't understand this kind of cleverness, and it's not that I don't know how to use it, but I don't need it. With this kind of cleverness, even if the merger can be successfully merged for a while, there will be endless troubles in the future! An army consists of soldiers from Shanzhou and Dengzhou soldiers, there will inevitably be endless contradictions in the future. It is not a last resort, there should be no mountains in the army, and they must be united as one! Li Jinglue’s 2 people, it’s not that I don’t pay attention to it, nor that I can’t trust Li Jinglue, but it is necessary to fundamentally prevent the army from splitting ! For this purpose, even if Li Jinglue disagrees, I will not compromise! This is the fundamental principle! Many things in the world cannot be discussed!"

After hearing this, Wang Ruohai couldn't help being stunned.Unexpectedly, Wang Xiaolie would say that, which was beyond his expectation.During the Battle of Guanzhong, Wang Ruohai could clearly feel that Wang Xiaolie was more confident than before, not like before.

What Wang Xiaolie said was right. According to his approach, it is more difficult now, and Li Yanxian is not easy to accept.But once accepted, there will be less trouble later on.And if it is compromised now, maybe Li Yanxian will be more likely to accept the merger, but there will be troubles later.Especially according to Wang Xiaolie's arrangement, Li Yanxian and Li Yanxian are two leaders, one officer and one officer, and the generals below will naturally be assigned to each other.

Wang Ruohai nodded: "What Zhenfu said is true. It is more difficult now, but it will be much easier in the future. I underestimated Zhenfu."

Wang Xiaolie said: "The counselor, what we are going to do is a big event. To make it happen, many people have to pay and change themselves. It's not that the councilor underestimated me, but that the councilor didn't expect what I would pay. Don't It is said that there are 20 Shanzhou soldiers, compared with our goal of saving the country and the people, so what if it is [-]? Our army, our officials, cannot deviate from this goal from the very beginning!"
