Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 385 Decision-making in Chaos
Bianjing, Bafang Restaurant!
Bo Junren talked about Murong Yanzhao's invincible deeds when he ran rampant in Hehuang.

The people of the Quartet heard that their blood boiled with excitement.

The "Royal Daily" continued to publicize the brilliant victories achieved by the generals at the front.

The purpose is not simply to let the people listen enthusiastically and have more talk.

Instead, by publicizing the heroic deeds of the frontline generals of their own country, the people from all over the world subtly gave birth to a proud sense of belonging.

This sense of belonging was strongest during the Han and Tang Dynasties.

In the current world, the king's flag changes every ten years, and the emperor changes every few years, so there is no sense of belonging.

If the people of a country don't love their country and don't have a sense of belonging to their country, no matter how powerful or rich they are, it won't help.

Luo Youdu's goal is to use the "Royal Daily" to arouse the patriotic enthusiasm of the people bit by bit.

Murong Yanzhao's record of running rampant in Hehuang, Longyou is the best example of publicity.

After the people cheered, a strange voice came from a table.

"It's hateful that Murong Jie is handsome and invincible, but there is a lieutenant who is greedy for money and hinders him, hateful!"

"Murong Jie defeated countless enemies. With more than a thousand cavalry troops, he marched across Longyou to defeat a strong enemy and take Lintan. However, the deputy general Kang Yanze did not dare to attack the city for a long time, and missed the opportunity for nothing."

"It's true that Kang Yanze was born as a general, but all he did was the work of civil servants. He also made some military exploits with Han Bushuai during the Northern Han Dynasty. How could he have the guts to attack the city?"

"Kang Yanze is greedy and stingy, and he is well-known in Bianjing. I heard that he even took money from the Tubo people. That's why he didn't attack the city."

……

The rumors of various versions became more and more intense, and the more they spread, the more mysterious they became.

Finally, it was passed to Luo Youdu's imperial court.

Luo Youdu looked at the two problematic versions about Kang Yanze in front of him, and said to Wei Renpu, Song Qi, and Zhao Pu in front of him, "What do you three think about this matter?"

Wei Renpu said: "Almost everyone in Bianjing knows about this matter. Someone should deliberately spread rumors in an attempt to confuse the public. However, it is a fact that Kang Yanze has not attacked the city. As for the reason, the Privy Council has not been informed."

Song Qi said: "The momentum of the imperial court is unmatched, and there are people who are slightly hostile in all directions, and they will inevitably add fuel to the flames. The more it spreads, the more mysterious it becomes. The officials and others have picked out a lot of false news, but these two are difficult to distinguish the truth from the false."

Luo Youdu looked at Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu said: "It's hard for me to judge this matter. The only thing I know is that this matter first spread from the army. I'm afraid there will be no waves without wind..."

Luo Youdu closed his eyes and meditated, thinking of two situations that the Privy Council believed to be reliable:

Kang Yanze's ability is not good, he can only fight against the wind, he can't be alone, he is timid and dare not attack the city.If you can't handle the relationship between superiors and subordinates well, you can't convince the masses, and the generals are eccentric, and they don't listen to dispatch, so that you miss the opportunity.

Kang Yanze is greedy for money and stingy, and has close contacts with Hezhou city tycoons, so he took money and deliberately gave Hezhou tycoons a chance to breathe.

Luo Youdu finally understood why the emperor from the rear interfered with the generals on the front line repeatedly in history.

Some things happened, and when it came to the imperial court, the emperor had to choose the right decision from all kinds of misleading and wrong information.

This is not an easy task.

Take the matter of Kang Yanze as an example, the news came from the frontline army.

It is impossible to say that it is definitely a rumor and false.

There must be a reason for this.

But if it is true, then it is a mistake in the decision-making of employing people, and it needs to make up for it, or directly intervene, ordering Kang Yanze to attack the city, or use other means.

As the emperor at the rear, if he doesn't understand the situation on the front line, ordering indiscriminately is likely to be the beginning of failure.

But if there is a problem, if you don't make a decision, you will miss the opportunity.

If he is on the front line, Luo Youdu believes that he can make the most correct choice according to the situation.

But now that he lives in the rear, he has limited information. Even if he starts to investigate, it will take six to seven days for the information to pass back and forth.

What's more, the investigation of the chief general and deputy general in the army, the overt investigation will seriously damage the morale, and the secret investigation, God knows how long it will take?

Fighting, how can there be so much time delay.

It has been a while since the news reached Bianjing.

A decision must be made as soon as possible.

Can't delay!
Wei Renpu suggested: "How about sending a supervisor to investigate the situation?"

"No!" Luo Youdu flatly refused. Supervising the army is indeed good for the rear to control the frontline troops, but it is easier to do bad things.

A layman guides an expert, and military strategists are taboo.

Luo Youdu thought about it carefully, and thought of Murong Yanzhao. If Kang Yanze really hesitated to fight, with his temperament, he would not fight around with peace of mind. With this in mind, he immediately made a judgment and said, "Kang Yanze is my Since I ordered him, I believe he will not disappoint me, and this matter is over."

**********
Hezhou Camp.

Kang Yanze grabbed Yuan Zhi's chest and cursed: "My brother, it's been 15 years, and you stabbed me in the back?"

Fear flashed across Yuan Zhi's face, and he said, "I don't know what you said!"

Kang Yanze said angrily: "It's all right if you say that I'm not capable enough, I don't care about you. You also leaked my relationship with the wealthy family in Hezhou. It's really going to ruin His Majesty's affairs. Ten lives are not enough for you to pay."

His eyes were bloodshot.

Regarding the situation in Hezhou, everything is under his control.

Tubo is a half-cultivating and half-herding people, one part is farming and the other is animal husbandry.

Murong Yanzhao's raid on Hezhou City failed, but the raid was effective.

Most of those around Hezhou who were closely related to the Zhangmi tribe in Hezhou went to Hezhou City to escape.

It's an urgent time and we can't prepare too much food.

All the tribes that came into the city needed to eat.

The food that is eaten is the responsibility of the rich people who cultivate it.

How can a wealthy family be willing to supply their own tribe's food for free?

There will be contradictions once and for all.

Kang Yanze was planning to take advantage of this contradiction to instigate rebellion against the wealthy families in the city.

Yuan Zhi's face was pale, and he also realized that the problem was serious.

He was older than Kang Yanze, joined the army three years earlier than Kang Yanze, and Kang Yanze had always been under him. However, in the battle to destroy the Northern Han Dynasty, Kang Yanze had a good opportunity to break through Qinzhou City, and his status suddenly surpassed him. became his immediate boss.

The contrast in status made Yuan Zhi feel jealous, and now that he had the opportunity to act alone, it was even more unacceptable, and he said a lot of bad things about Kang Yanze behind his back.

He also didn't know why things would become such a big mess.

Kang Yanze let go of his hand and said, "Go and explain to His Majesty yourself!"

He turned and left the tent.

Yuan Zhi was dripping with sweat and collapsed to the ground.

Kang Yanze, who walked out of the camp, saw Murong Yanzhao walking towards him angrily.

Kang Yanze hurriedly stopped him and said, "Jie Shuai!"

Murong Yanzhao suppressed his anger and said, "How is the situation?"

Kang Yanze said solemnly: "The situation in the army has been suppressed, and everything is still under control..."

He dared not say anything, the success of the whole strategy is out of his control now, and whether he can make the right decision in the rear to suppress the matter.
