Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1289
Xue Tao's actions in Puban can't be hidden from Tongguan, which is across the river.In the case that the soldiers of the Hedong Army Mansion are not enough, the Tongguan garrison is also the most important armed guard force in this area.

"Xue Tao finally couldn't help but want to purge the peasants. He no longer insists on consorts. It's not too stupid."

When the news reached Tongguan, Xie Yi couldn't help laughing.There were other guards from Tongguan in the room. When Hedong received the transfer order, Tongguan also received the notice of defense. In the past few days, Xie Yi and others have been busy gathering soldiers to prepare for formally taking over Tongguan.

Li Bing on the other side also laughed after hearing the words: "Comrade Xiangliu, if you just want to protect your hometown, you will naturally unite as one. But this time, the situation of the country is more than the military law, so you will not be optimistic. He will agree to it immediately." To draw the knife, I still need a little bit of courage!"

When talking about Xue Tao, there was not much vivid emotional color in their words, they were just discussing the matter as it stands.As for the secret jealousy towards Xue Tao and his family that was revealed in the past, there is no such thing now.

To tell the truth, with Master Wang regaining Hedong, the Xue family can take advantage of Xingtai to prosper, which will indeed make Shiliu envious.But if it is said that because of this, all their masters, generals, and veterans of Xingtai are resentful, jealous, and angry, that is really not true.

They are not the impoverished people in the world who have nowhere to go. Since they followed the general, they have always walked on a flat, open road with a promising future. Their achievements, honors and disgraces, have already been tightly tied to the general. Together, why would you stop and feel sorry for the beautiful scenery on the left side of the road?

What's more, whether it was Jiangdong and Huainan in the early years, or later in the Central Plains, they saw a lot of rural schools like the Xue family that took advantage of the situation and were once famous. There is no essential difference between those rural streams before.

If they can judge the facts by themselves, take the initiative to integrate into the Xingtai, abide by the Xingtai rules, laws and punishments, and make progress through meritorious deeds, they can guarantee the long-term prosperity of the family business.But if you are just satisfied with this, complacent, and don't make greater efforts, you will eventually be crushed and crushed by the walking platform, and digested invisibly.

If there is any dissatisfaction with Xue Tao, it is still that he still has too much aura of rural power in him. He has become a general who has to be given the important task of supervision and protection under the general's mansion, but he has nothing to say about running the army.

The army is a killing machine. Whether it is for external conquest or internal defense, killing is the fundamental meaning of its existence, and only killing can achieve various intentions.Such a heavy weapon requires careful maintenance and frequent sharpening, or it should not be moved lightly, otherwise there will be bloody disasters!
Their army may not have strict military discipline and no crimes against the people, but the most important point is that they still need to be ordered and prohibited, let alone the habits of the powerful private army of the past into the army.

For this point, Li Bing, who can also be said to be a powerful man, was deeply touched.Li Bing is the son of Li Hong, the governor of Yanzhou. Li Hong was a powerful refugee commander in Xuzhou in his early years, and he was also one of the most important supporters of Xi Jian in his early years.

As the son of Li Hong, Li Bing first made great achievements in the Battle of Heluo, and then the Xuzhou Army was reorganized. His father, Li Hong, gradually retreated to the second-line military governor. All under the leadership of Li Bing.

The private soldiers are not useless, they fight bravely, and they have sufficient guarantees for loyalty and morale. An excellent general should have such a core group around him, so that he can firmly grasp the opportunity of the war and use all kinds of exquisite tactics. Realize it.

But if you rely too much on private soldiers, at best, you are just a fighter on the front line.In particular, every time Wang Shi fights, he has various huge strategic goals, and the combat area is not limited to one time and one place.

This kind of cross-border large-scale battle, if the military orders are different, the banners are different, each has its own plans, and each has its own ideas, it will be impossible to achieve effective cooperation, let alone achieve major strategic gains.

After Yongjia, there were many tyrants in the world, and there was no lack of powerful people of the moment, but they were often limited to one corner of the place, and there were very few heroes who could break through geographical restrictions and become real heroes in the world.

In Wang Shi's team, there are actually no amazing talents, including General Shen, who have grown up steadily and steadily.A lesson from the past, a guide to the future, when there is nothing to do, the generals will also discuss why after Yongjia, the order in the north has disappeared, and the tyrants in various places have become stronger one after another, but why the two thieves Liu and Shi are the only ones who can finally get things done ?

Among them, the Liu family itself is a near-royal existence of the Huns, and has always served as the leader of the five Huns, with the support of the Huns' powerful forces behind them, and that's all.However, Shi Le, who was once reduced to a slave and was just a bandit wandering in the countryside at the beginning of the rebellion, had no power and stable territory of his own, yet he was able to grow all the way and become the overlord of the north. It has to be said that it is a miracle.

Regardless of whether Shi Le is a hero or not, when the generals were discussing the growth of the Jie Kingdom, they made a very important discovery that Shi Le's disadvantages in the early stage may be one of the important reasons why Shi Le was able to grow and become the overlord of the north.

Shi Le's initial strength was really not strong. Even in the Jiehu tribe where he was born, he was not considered a great figure, and he did not have a stable following.One of the most notable characteristics of his growth in the early stage is that he wandered among various powerful people, took advantage of the situation, and was willing to be an eagle dog. He was also a running dog and thug that many Jin and Hu tycoons in the north were willing to accept.

After that, whether Shi Le was the first to conquer Han Mian or defeated the elite army of Yuefu, it can be said that all of them were far ahead of the torrent of the times.However, many tyrants who obviously have a large number of troops and territories, have not performed very well in this troubled world, and have even become nutrient providers for Shi Le's continued growth.

The most obvious one is Xiang Bing, who built a dock at Fangtou and guarded the fortress.Back then, Shi Le Han Mian suffered a setback, and his power had been sluggish to the extreme for a while. If he hadn't seized Xiang Bing's trilogy and assets, he would not have the strength and confidence to move across Hebei in the future.

"If a tree is moved, it will die, and if a person is moved, it will live. After Yongjia, Wang Tong lost his way. He first went to Guanlong and then returned to Jiangbiao. In a turbulent world, power is difficult to consolidate. Universiade spreads all over the world. Although Shilong is darker than righteousness Hu Chou, but not lacking in military strength, was the leading candidate at the time, and he also traveled around to take advantage of the turmoil in the north and south, and returned to Hebei with a little capital. If you are a tiger or wolf alone, you will inevitably be chopped to pieces."

Shi Le's success lies in the fact that before his strength was still weak, he was not obsessed with operating a basic business that required continuous investment and would need to be maintained for a long time. Of course, this was also because he did not have such ability.But it is because of committing crimes that he was able to seize many opportunities scattered in various places. At the same time, he did have abilities far beyond ordinary people, so he was able to take these opportunities as his own and take advantage of them to grow.

And the villages that stand on the opposite side of Shi Le are powerful, and they may not have weak abilities, and the capital they have in the early stage is much higher than Shi Le.But while they enjoy these strengths, they are also deeply restrained. They are just dogs under one family, but they cannot become tigers and wolves that rule the world.Once tigers and wolves knock on the door, they will inevitably be reduced to blood food under the minions.

Xue Tao's aggressive habits were very obvious before.It is clear that the Great General has a lot of trust in him, and the distribution of public weapons has given him enough power to clean up and rectify the countryside, especially the trilogy of village courage, but he is timid to be tied up by the nostalgia, which makes Tongguan generals feel most dissatisfied.

It is conceivable how powerful the soldiers of the Hedong Army Mansion are.The killing may not be powerful, and Baotuan is far better than the rest. Their existence not only makes Hedong always have hidden dangers, but also an obstacle for Wang Shi to go north and attack Bingzhou.

"The general is indeed too tolerant towards Xue Shi..."

Seeing Xue Tao running the military mansion in Hedong so painlessly, he obviously has enough means and support, but he still hasn't made any big moves, which also makes Tongguan generals very anxious.

Of course, they also understand that the general looks at the overall situation in his work.Whether Hedong is stable or not is related to the development of the overall war in the Western Expedition.If they also make a big killing in Hedong, the local forces will be as exhausted as Hongnong, and people will even need to move in from abroad to rebuild.

If the construction progress of Hedong is delayed because of this, it is impossible to launch an attack on Guanzhong immediately.Guanzhong cannot be settled quickly, and it later proved that if Master Wang moved westward for a period of time in the evening, Longshang would most likely be owned by the Zhang family of Liangzhou.At that time, Xingtai will either give up Longshang, or need to continue to increase troops, and fight Zhang's directly in Longshang.

Compared with the gains and losses of the entire Longjing, this bit of nostalgia indulgence in Hedong is not unacceptable.Moreover, although the Hedong Army Mansion is too unbearable from the standard of Wang Shi, but also because of its existence, at least it is enough to guard against Jie Guoshisheng in Bingzhou, and it can also allow Wang Shi to concentrate on continuous and in-depth control of Guanzhong.

"Xue Tao may have lost his benevolence and cowardice before. But judging from his recent actions, he is not extremely stupid after all, and he understands the deep meaning of the general's call."

While speaking, Xie Yi looked at Li Bing, and then said with a smile: "General Li has been lazy for a few years, and now he finally doesn't have to sit up and sigh."

Li Bing also laughed when he heard the words. He was originally transferred from the Hongwu Army to Hedong to supervise and protect the four armies of Hedong, Pingyang, Hongnong, and Shangluo in Sizhou.

But among the four counties, Hongnong and Shangluo are nothing more than a few garrison soldiers, county soldiers, and village braves. Pingyang has not yet been recovered, and Hedong has preferential treatment. Compared with the stimulation of adultery, it is simply tasteless.If it weren't for the fact that he knew the general's future strategic arrangements, he would even wonder if he had been cast idle.

After years of laziness, he finally waited for his chance to play again. Li Bing was gearing up for a while. After waiting for the soldiers of the Hedong government to leave the country, he went north to Hedong to take over the defense, and formally set about recovering various matters in Pingyang. .
