Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 750 Use Li Cheng?
Wang De and Xie Yuan had resentment towards Tian Shizhong, and the atmosphere became a little dull.After drinking for three rounds, Wang De felt that it was boring, so he wanted to get up and leave.

At this time, Tian Shizhong suddenly said: "A few days ago, Li Cheng was named the official defense envoy, have you heard?"

Xie Yuan said impatiently: "Which Li Cheng? It's wartime now, and there are so many defensive envoys, what's so strange?"

Tian Shizhong said in surprise: "A few years ago, Li Cheng ran across the Huaihe and Jinghu lakes, how majestic! You don't know?"

Wang De and Xie Yuan said together: "That Li Cheng? How is this possible! He is a captured general and should be beheaded!"

Tian Shizhong couldn't help sighing: "The officials said that he is a great general, and he is not comparable to others. Although a leg was broken, after a wooden leg was made and put on by a skilled doctor, he can walk now. .Now that he is a defense envoy, the officials still want him to lead troops."

After hearing this, Wang De didn't want to leave, so he sat down again.Together with Xie Yuan, they asked about Li Cheng in detail.

Yue Fei also felt strange.Last time in Zhongmou, Li Cheng was blocked and broke his leg with one shot, so he was captured by Wang Xiaolie.Escorted to Hangzhou to offer prisoners, there is no more movement.It is very strange to be promoted to a defense envoy all of a sudden.

Li Cheng traverses Lianghuai and Jinghu, and has few enemies.He has unsurpassed courage, can open a three-stone bow, is brave and powerful, and takes the lead in front of the battle.And there is a way to lead troops. When stationing troops, soldiers must be fed first. When soldiers are sick, they must come to greet them in person. When it rains, they do not wear rain gear, just like soldiers.Therefore, he is deeply loved by soldiers and is brave and good at fighting.

Zhao Gou loves Li Cheng very much.He once told Yue Fei that if Li became a general, he should be made a Jiedu envoy.But now Li Cheng is not only a captive, but also has a broken leg, why is he appointed as a defense envoy?

Wang De said angrily: "I fought and made meritorious deeds on the front line, but I only got one county away. This guy Li Cheng didn't make an inch of merit, but he was appointed as the official defense. The way the government employs people is really incomprehensible! "

Jie Yuan just sneered and didn't answer.
Wang De drank the wine in front of him and sat there with a gloomy face.Dan Ran is very dissatisfied with Zhao Gou's reuse of Li Cheng.
In the past, these people would not think too much.Even if Zhao Gou wants to use Li Cheng, these people are just envious.It's different now. With the example of Wang Xiaolie here, everyone will inevitably think about it.

Yue Fei said: "When we lead troops, in the final analysis, military exploits are fundamental. Wang Xuanfu has already proved that artillery is very important on the battlefield. In future battles on the front line, without artillery, it can be said that it is difficult to move an inch. Our army has money and food." There is no way. You are different, just wait for the silver from the rear to come up."

Xie Yuan Yin-Yang said strangely: "As long as you are fighting against the court, it is the same military merit. That is to say, killing the official army or being killed by the official army is the same military merit? Your algorithm is eye-opening. In my opinion, in the eyes of the officials, Li Cheng may be much more important than us."

Tian Shizhong said: "Li Cheng is a famous general in the world, what's wrong with the officials looking at him differently?"

Shaking his head slightly, Yue Fei didn't say anything, just advised everyone to drink.

Tian Shizhong said: "What do you know! Fighting against the imperial court is also your own military merit! As long as you have a heart for the imperial court and are sincere anyway, the officials will not look at you differently. In my opinion, Li Cheng is valued by the officials, and his future is not good. Limited!"

The more Wang De thought about it, the angrier he became.After drinking a few glasses of wine, he slammed the table.Said: "The Sa family fought desperately on the front line, including fighting with Li Cheng several times. Who would have thought that in the eyes of the officials, they are not as good as Li Cheng as a thief! Moreover, Li Cheng is not only a thief, but also a fake Qi! Into me Da Song, instead sealed the defense envoy! How can you swallow this breath! If things go on like this, it will only chill the hearts of the soldiers!"
Yue Fei said: "You are ministers, just fight the enemy bravely on the battlefield, and the credit for your achievements will be theorized by the officials and the ministers."

Wang De could see that Yue Fei was also very dissatisfied with the matter.It's just that he is cautious by nature, has given up drinking, and pays special attention to his words.
After drinking a glass of wine, Wang De said: "Wang Xuanfu is better here. If you make meritorious service, you will be rewarded; if you make a mistake on the battlefield, you will be punished. We are generals leading troops, and that's what we want to do. It's a lot less to decide everything by ourselves." trouble."
Tian Shizhong let out a "puchi" laugh: "You see that Wang Xuanfu is good here, but he was very wrong! Now, among the generals leading the army, only Wang Xuanfu is the youngest official, and his power is restricted everywhere. Why? Because the officials don’t trust him! In terms of military merit, it’s not an exaggeration for Wang Xuanfu to be named Taiwei. But what about the fact?”

Wang De said to Yue Fei: "Yue Guan, you are also a favorite general of the government. To tell you the truth, is Li Cheng convinced by the defense? When he was wiped out last year, it took a lot of effort to observe! Besides, Li Cheng If you become this guy, you will be defeated by your subordinates!"
Yue Fei sighed: "As a courtier, you don't talk about right and wrong. Observe, let's drink."

After finishing speaking, he sneered and shook his head again and again, looking like he looked up to Wang Xiaolie.

How could everyone not understand what Tian Shizhong said?It's just that the topic is sensitive, so everyone doesn't mention it.So after Tian Shizhong finished speaking, everyone ignored him and just drank in silence.Wang De looked at Tian Shizhong with disdain.

Seeing it from the side, Yue Fei sighed secretly.
He knows Zhao Gou's appreciation for Li Cheng.The last time he met the saint, Zhao Gou once said in front of himself that if Li became a general, he would be dealt with with jiedu envoys, regardless of Yue Fei's feelings.Now that he really got it, and only appointed a defense envoy, Zhao Gou might think that Li Cheng was treated badly.
But is it useful?Li Cheng was completely vulnerable in front of Wang Xiaolie.Now this battle is different from before.Wang Xiaolie brought a new method of warfare, a method of fully relying on the collective instead of relying on famous generals.For generals, this style of warfare places more emphasis on command ability.Originally, when it comes to famous generals in the world, whether it is Zhuge Liang or Li Weigong, they are not famous for their bravery.

Tian Shizhong said: "Yue Jianjian is right. With artillery, even a famous general like Li Cheng can't do anything about it. I heard that because of surprise, Li Cheng's leg was broken by a single artillery shot in Zhongmu. , so lost. We have artillery, so what is the difficulty in winning the Jin army?"
Wang Dedao: "Zheyan is incompetent. In Huangzhou, the Jin Army took the artillery. I heard that the artillery is not difficult to make. We have it, and the Jin Army also has it."
Tian Shizhong waved his hand and said: "The general doesn't know something. Artillery is a thing of ingenuity. The strength of Jin people is to fight desperately on the battlefield. How dare they compare their minds with my Han people? Even if they have artillery, Not as good as us."
Wang De said in a deep voice: "I hope so. But I always feel that things will not be so simple."

Tian Shizhong laughed and said, "It's too much to worry about! As long as we transport the cannon back, it will be easy for the Shengjin people!"

Wang Dedao: "I hope. I have been beaten up by the Jin people in the past few years."

Tian Shizhong bent down and said mysteriously to the crowd: "And did you find out? This time, the generals got the guns, and no one in the other army cared about them. With the help of the artillery, the generals are more powerful. At that time, the imperial court will no longer have to look at other people's faces."

Everyone nodded together.
This time, according to the arrangement of the imperial court, the ones who received the artillery happened to be the generals, that is, the regular army of the imperial court.The artillery arrived at each army, and the difference in combat power between the regular army and the local army further widened.In other words, the control of the imperial court will be greatly enhanced, and it will be more difficult for local troops in various places.
(Thank God, it’s starting to get better. It’s just not getting better. Starting today, the update will be resumed slowly, but two updates cannot be guaranteed. Please forgive me. By the way, the sequelae of the new crown are worse than many people think, don’t ignore it ．）
