Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 947
In the big camp of the Jin army in Xingyang, Shen Zhezi sat upright in the tent, and Guo Song knelt on the ground in front of his seat, and there was no one else in the tent.

"The last, the last will live up to the trust of the governor, fail to detect the changes of the bandit army, fail to strictly control the soldiers, and fail to stabilize the township..."

Guo Song had just returned from the battlefield, his armor still unremoved, blood-stained, and before he even had time to deal with his injuries, he hurriedly entered the account to plead guilty, his words were full of guilt, and he dared not look up at Shen Zhezi.

"Marquis Guo's mistake, I'm afraid there will be another one added. There are more than [-] masters, and they have been added to the four sides of Guangwu. If everyone is a little wary, how can they be unaware?"

Now that the private room is facing each other, Shen Zhezi does not deliberately save any face for Guo Song, and adds another sentence after his words: "If it is an ordinary general, the merits and demerits are more important, just judge according to the facts. However, Guo Hou, you , it really shouldn’t be.”

"Please be punished by the general, so as to improve military discipline!"

When Guo Song heard this, he buried his head deeply and said in a shy voice.In fact, he was aware of the deployment of the various armies in the same robe. After all, the Guangwu camp where he was stationed was not small, and there were many villagers gathered around it.

But at that time, I was troubled by my hometown, and I was not lacking in apprehension. I even vaguely guessed that the transfer of friendly troops was meant to replace him. I was even timid to go to Shen Zhezi to speak frankly, and regarded this matter as a taboo. Don't dare to look too much, don't dare to talk too much.

"Leaving aside the fault of Marquis Guo, in fact, I was also at fault for this matter. Lured by chaos, ambushed on all sides, I don't know that the commander in the formation is actually going to battle."

Shen Zhezi sighed at this point, stood up from the table and walked to Guo Song's side, avoiding his shoulder and arm injuries and helped him up, then took a step back and looked at Guo Song, and said in a deep voice: "I am waiting for Guo Song. Enter the camp to advance, or come to ask for advice. Unexpectedly, the battle broke out suddenly, and it was thanks to Guo Hou's clever response that the bandit army was not able to torture and wipe out all of them."

"Great governor, the last, the last general is really ashamed..."

After Guo Song heard this, his demeanor became even more distorted. He wanted to bow down again, but because his arms were still supported by Shen Zhezi, his figure was unsteady, his head hung even lower, and he said shyly, "Mo Will really, really be..."

"We have known each other for many years, so I don't know what kind of temperament Guo Hou is. It's just that this time, you and I were both misled by distracting thoughts."

Shen Zhezi naturally understood what Guo Song was going to say, but he had some thoughts to think about, and words were really hard to express, especially Guo Song's mood was in disorder right now, and he didn't know how to explain what he was struggling with recently.

The ambush in Guangwu was only due to Shen Zhezi's usual caution.Although he is not a military genius with supernatural powers, he understands the truth that the general trend collapses in the details.

The battle of Liyang almost destroyed tens of thousands of Shikan without losing a single soldier, and even captured Shikan alive and captured Yecheng. Even Shen Zhezi couldn't help feeling impetuous, let alone those soldiers.

However, Shen Zhezi has an advantage that whenever he is about to get carried away, he will think more subconsciously, especially when he arrives at Hulao Pass, he will inevitably think of the classic battles surrounding this pass, such as Li Shimin's defeat. Dou Jiande.

In fact, the communication barrier with Guo Song was indeed caused by distracting thoughts as Shen Zhezi said.Now the generals in Huainan, especially the first-level supervisors, Guo Song can be said to be the first one Shen Zhezi took the initiative to recruit. In addition to the relationship between superiors and subordinates, there is also a friendship between them.

For example, before Guo Song asked to guard Xingyang, although Shen Zhezi felt that Guo Song was not a suitable candidate, he still accommodated him.As a result, when the main force of Wang Shi arrived in Xingyang and became the base camp of the Jin army, many problems were exposed here.

As early as before, when the army was expropriating various resources such as Xingyang land and ferries, many township tyrants jumped out and used Guo Song as an excuse to obstruct it.And the Huainan army knew that Guo Song was Shen Zhezi's true direct descendant, so they would inevitably be jealous, so there were many disputes and delays that could have been avoided.

If only one part of the Huainan Army came here, Shen Zhezi would not be embarrassed, and would directly remove Guo Song from the post of supervisor and guard immediately.But right now, the Xuzhou army is still watching, and those army leaders have more thoughts, so Shen Zhezi has to consider the issue of the scale of force.

He is waiting for Guo Song to take the initiative to express his position, and then he will either laugh it off or punish him slightly. Based on the trust between him and Guo Song, this compatibility is enough.

However, Guo Song only sent someone to come and did not present himself. He didn't know whether he was worried that Shen Zhezi would kill him in Xingyang to enforce the order after he resigned, or he felt ashamed and shameless.There is such a layer of separation in the middle, which makes it difficult for Shen Zhezi to deal with. If it is brought directly to the bright side, he can't take care of Guo Song's face and cover it up.

Therefore, during this period of time, Shen Zhezi also had a lot of resentment towards Guo Song. He felt that Guo Song had lost his old friendship and could not appreciate his painstaking efforts.

But seeing Guo Song's attitude today, Shen Zhezi gradually realized Guo Song's embarrassment.The person probably also understands that his previous decision was ill-considered, so he feels doubly guilty.Apart from being timid to face yourself, there are also other considerations.

Even Shen Zhezi himself didn't feel that as his power rose, even if he didn't deliberately maintain his posture, his happiness and anger became less and less obvious, which brought more pressure on the generals under his command.Not to mention Guo Song and other generals, even Shen Mu, Shen Yun and other cousins ​​in the family are still not close enough to be in awe when they meet and answer.

For example, in this battle of Hebei, Shen Zhezi vigorously promoted young generals such as Xie Ai and Xiao Yuandong, which was regarded by the Huainan Army as a sign of the rise of the young and strong to replace the old generals.Shen Zhezi's intention is indeed to reuse young and strong generals, but it is far from reaching the level of replacing veterans.

Young people are more energetic, and there will be more talented newcomers like Xie Ai joining in the future, and this kind of promotion from small to obvious is more conducive to establishing Shen Zhezi's personal authority rather than the so-called royal order.But the experience of the veterans is also a valuable asset. At least Shen Zhezi still needs them to fight on the front line before completely solving Hebei Shihu.

However, due to the lack of communication with each other, others will inevitably over-interpret Shen Zhezi's intentions, resulting in a certain degree of distortion.Han Huang and other generals worked harder and even took risks.Lu Yong and others who are a little distant are consciously conservative, probably looking for a good start and a good end, so as to give more opportunities to young people.

Especially when the Huainan Army has repeatedly made great achievements, Shen Zhezi is becoming more and more obvious that he will take control of Xuzhou, and Heluosi Prefecture will also start later, and the entire Huainan faction will expand rapidly. Subtle contrasts.

Even in the camp before, there were young generals who blatantly mocked Guo Song for being useless. He had been besieged in the tiger prison for several months, but he couldn't make any progress. How can the army march eastward without distraction to fight against Shikan, Hebei!
Shen Zhezi has never been a cold person, although there is no shortage of utilitarian considerations in this, he is willing to treat anyone who can help him with kindness.What's more, at the beginning of Huainan Lizhen, without the hard work of veteran generals such as Guo Song, it would be difficult for the Huainan Army to grow to this point.

Moreover, the Huainan Army has never been obsessed with making a fuss about its stock, it has always been developing and growing, and its prospects are getting wider and wider. There is no need for the old to make room for newcomers, and it can arrange a great future for everyone in it.

Guo Song should also have a feeling for the current atmosphere in the Huainan Army, even if he has any thoughts, he can't express it.Or self-esteem is causing trouble, and I don't want to become a lucky person who can only rely on old friendships to preserve my position, so I don't want to meet and fall in love with old feelings.Or worry that the punishment of his person may confirm the rumors about replacing the veteran, and exacerbate the atmosphere of confrontation between the old and the new in the army.

No matter what thoughts he had in mind, this made Shen Zhezi realize that in recent years, he has indeed been too focused on the acquisition of achievements and the growth of his power, while ignoring the maintenance of favor.As a result, there were many problems that could have been easily solved by sitting and talking before, but now it is difficult to speak.

Although changes in personal circumstances often lead to changes in the closeness of human relations, this is not inevitable.Before that, Shen Zhezi was also superstitious about being too ruthless, that superiors should have the dignity of inferiors, and should not have too complicated and entangled human relationships with subordinates.

But as he got to this point day by day, he didn't think it was necessary, and even an overly clear subordinate-subordinate relationship would be harmful.

No matter the superior or inferior, the incumbent is always a human being, and if he is a human being, he will inevitably be bound by human feelings.When human feelings are removed, the connection between people will solidify into a simple one-dimensional connection. This seemingly pure one-dimensional connection is actually too fragile, even with the shackles of ethics such as loyalty, it is still difficult to maintain for a long time.

And in this connection structure, there is not only up and down, but also left and right.It is human nature to avoid risks, even if this risk only exists in one's own imagination, when the relationship between the upper and lower becomes pure and thin, one will inevitably tend to connect the left and right to strengthen one's position.

This kind of theory, in reality, is to connect with each other, form gangs, and unite into small groups.Shen Zhezi himself started his career by relying on political struggles, and this pattern is all too familiar.

Indeed, triumphant advances on the battlefield can bring broad prospects. In the process of rapid expansion, even if there are any internal conflicts, they can be covered up by victories one after another.But they are not non-existent. Once the pace of expansion slows down, contradictions will soon be exposed and then intensified.

The fall of the Jie Kingdom, including the collapse of the former Qin Dynasty in later history, all testify to this truth.Therefore, Shen Zhezi would rather go one step further, stop one step, digest the gains, and adjust internally, rather than act too hastily and force the wilderness to be wiped out in a short period of time.

The current situation of the Huainan Army has already shown such signs.The staged victory of the Li Yang Great Victory made the generals and soldiers feel impetuous.The young generals may be simpler, they just focus on making progress.As for those veterans, some problems have more or less been exposed.

Guo Song's forbearance, Han Huang's aggressiveness, Lu Yong's self-obscurity, and Cao Na, Xu Mao, etc., because of the conditions of their origin in Xuzhou, have recently been in frequent contact with Xuzhou military leaders to win their support for Shen Zhezi's entry into Xuzhou. Use this to stabilize your position, and don't want to be brushed off halfway.

This is not to say that veterans have more complicated minds, but it is indeed due to richer life experiences.This is not a big problem in the first place, even if they communicate with Shen Zhezi for a while, they will understand that there is no need to worry about it.But if the relationship between superiors and subordinates is too clear, there will be no chance to speak out about such private plans outside of official business.

Therefore, the maintenance of human feelings lies in smoothing this organizational structure and providing another channel for solving problems.Everything is clear in the rules and regulations, with sharp edges and corners, so collisions are inevitable.

Shen Zhezi helped Guo Song into the banquet, not mentioning his crimes for the time being, but turned to look at Guo Song and said with a smile: "Manpower is really limited, and it is really difficult to take care of public and private affairs. In recent years, there have been many affairs in the government, even if there are sages Lao, I am really becoming less human. For example, when family affairs are urging people this time, I really want to quickly settle the chaos and go home. But the tens of thousands of troops and hundreds of thousands of people are all because of my thoughts lingering here. Don’t dare to be negative, and you can only be thinner than your family.”

Although Guo Song was at the table, his sitting posture was extremely awkward. After hearing the words, he quickly bowed his body and cupped his hands: "The last general is so stupid that he can't share his worries for the governor. It's really a responsibility..."

"Fortunately, there is a fool, otherwise, why should I be involved in the side affairs, and I can only watch and applaud from the north of the river."

After Shen Zhezi heard the words, he laughed, and then sighed: "I didn't want Marquis Guo to enter the town of Xingyang earlier..."

"The last general is now deeply troubled by his nostalgia, only to realize that the governor took care of him before, and he is really ashamed."

Guo Song said quickly, his words were full of sincere shame.

"But it was because Guo Hou forced me to invite me at that time, so I was so relieved. In terms of human feelings, I did not misunderstand Guo Hou after all. As for the interference of the country with the military later, although it originated from Guo Hou, I can hardly absolve myself of the blame. It seems a bit excessive for you, Guo Hou, to be troubled and anxious."

"The last general dare not..."

When Guo Song heard this, he was in a hurry to leave the table and bow down. When Shen Zhezi was smiling, he realized that it was just a joke. It’s been a long time since I’ve heard the funny talk about the Great Governor, but in fact, the ruin of the country was not the fault of one family, and the revival of Jin Zuo was definitely not the work of one person. Although the Great Governor is a leader in the world, but, but he is too harsh on himself..."

Speaking of this, he paused, and after a while, he cupped his hands again and said: "The last general is really clumsy, but he has received the great kindness of the governor, whoever has an order, he will sacrifice his life to serve! This time the crime is the last general, even if the leader Ming punishment, the final general will have no complaints!"

"I just boasted that I didn't misunderstand Guo Hou. If you say that now, you are planning to break the contract with your life and criticize me. In the past years, the decline has been low, and we can still meet to rebuild the country. Now I am fighting high, Guo Hou Are you going to abandon me?"

Shen Zhezi frowned and said displeased.

When Guo Song heard this, his shoulders trembled slightly, and the corners of his lips moved slightly. After a while, his eyes were reddish, and his words were slightly choked up: "Mo, Mo is not a famous general. Fortunately, he was promoted by the governor. Only, I'm afraid that it's hard to make great achievements for the weak, how dare, how dare..."

"This world is not a world of heroes. All the bastards still dare to boast about the world. How can our Jin family be the first! Even if we don't say anything about the future, the great achievements have become a fact. Hebei, Guanzhong, and Siyi, there are still some Many people who don't know the destiny and insert the mark in a daze, how can they lightly move their bows and knives with idle thoughts!"

When Shen Zhezi spoke up to this point, he put both hands on the book case, leaned forward slightly, and his expression became serious: "This statement is not only for Guohou, but also for working together in the past years, and it is also for me to warn myself!"

At this point, even though Guo Song was dull, he understood Shen Zhezi's meaning. He took a deep breath to suppress his excitement, and after a deep obeisance, he couldn't help but look up at Shen Zhezi, and whispered: "Shenzhou Rebellion , In addition to natural disasters, it is not a misplaced man-made disaster. The governor... the end is very lucky!"

Hearing this, Shen Zhezi raised his eyebrows slightly, and didn't answer the words, but waved to Guo Song and said, "No matter what, this time there is always a big victory outside Hulao Pass. The generals outside have been waiting for a long time. Don't gossiping with Guo Hou anymore, come together."

After finishing speaking, he walked towards the outside of the tent, while Guo Song calmed down and walked up quickly.

At this time, the battle between Hulaoguan City and Guangwu camp had already ended, and the thousands of knights sent by Taobao had been wiped out. They have already returned.

The Huainan Army is still down, and has become accustomed to victories of this scale.However, most of the Xuzhou Army participated in such an intense battle with the Huainan Army for the first time. Although the enemy was only a few thousand soldiers and Wang Shi had an absolute advantage in strength, the opponent was an elite cavalry. And wipe out the enemy in the field.

For the Xuzhou generals, this was an unprecedented refreshing experience.After fighting side by side, there was no longer such a serious gap between the soldiers of the two towns, so the atmosphere in the Chinese army's tent was also extremely lively at the moment.Before the arrival of the great governor, they laughed and talked freely with each other, or talked about the stupidity of the bandit army throwing themselves into the net, or thanked the comrades for their assistance in the battle.

But when Shen Zhezi arrived at the big tent, especially when he saw Guo Song walking behind him with his head bowed, all the generals quickly restrained themselves and stood up to greet him with fists in their hands.

After Shen Zhezi sat down, he first raised his hands and bowed, and said with a smile: "Thank you, everyone, for adding another victory to my master Wang. When I return to the country in the future, I will pay homage to you. I will have more achievements to praise!"

When all the generals saw this, they all laughed, and they all said that many of them depended on the governor's dispatch to achieve success, and some people said that Guo Song's ingenious response to the enemy maximized the results of this battle.

Shen Zhezi said again when everyone's discussion became weaker, "This time is not just the first victory, the bandit army still has fighting strength, and they will still have to fight hard in the future. When the soldiers enter the old capital, it will be the time for the real feast and meritorious deeds! The result of this victory is temporarily used as a meritorious strategy. Later, the rear army will enter the battle to replace the battalions participating in the battle. Please raise your troops and cross the river to pick the head of the peach leopard thief!"

Speaking of this, he knocked on the book case, and the master bookkeeper came forward with the books in his hand, and sealed the books after they were printed.Seeing this scene, the generals became even more excited.

Then, Shen Zhezi's face darkened, and he said solemnly: "So the Guangwu camp was negligent in predicting the enemy, especially when it was damaged before the battle..."

After everyone heard this, the smiles on their faces quickly subsided, and the atmosphere in the entire big tent suddenly dropped to freezing point.

Many people couldn't help looking at Guo Song who was standing beside Shen Zhezi with his head bowed. They had discussed Guo Song before when the governor was coming.

Although many thoughts are not dared to say it clearly, everyone knows that Guo Song is the confidant of the governor. He may have made mistakes before, but after all, he still fought hard to restore the situation.With such a great victory to completely annihilate the invading enemy, perhaps the governor will go along with the flow and cover up. This is also human nature and impeccable.

If you don't do this, it will appear that the governor is a bit unreasonable. After all, no one can guarantee that he will never make mistakes.In particular, there are also Xuzhou generals in the table, who are worried about how to deal with themselves in the future.

Shen Zhezi ignored the thoughts of the generals, but only signaled the law enforcement officers in the army to step forward and announce the punishment decision.

Among them, all the townspeople who were involved in the danger of destroying the defense of the camp were all beheaded and passed on to the army. The villagers involved in the incident verified that more than [-] people were involved, and they were all imprisoned.The battalion leader who concealed his deeds privately took off his post and was put in prison. He came to the Japanese army and was hanged. The soldiers in the camp involved were stripped of their armor and sent to the camp.

The most important of these is the punishment of Guo Song. He was deprived of all his duties and had fifty rods at the same time.Because of the task of supervising the army, the punishment of sticking is sent temporarily, which can be paid off.

When everyone heard this, they were all awe-inspiring.Guo Song is a veteran general in Huainan, he has already become a third-rank general and has the position of prefect. Because of this negligence, and at most the old mistakes of the villagers taking advantage of the situation to harass the army, all his official positions were deprived. Straight to the white body!

You must know that when Guo Song was in such a famous position, if he did not have the title of envoy, Shen Zhezi would not even be able to deal with it in this way.

This punishment is too serious, and it also makes people realize that Huainan's military law is strict, and it is almost overwhelming.However, this military law is not without flexibility, at least the actual position is retained, and there is no lack of possibility of recovery.

The generals of the Huainan Army were prepared. Although they were a little surprised, they did not change their colors.

As for the Xuzhou generals present here, they couldn't calm down, and they all stole glances at Guo Song who was walking to the tent to receive the punishment, hoping to see a little resentment or resentment on his face, but Guo Song respectfully accepted the order, and his eyes were bright. Suddenly, I felt a little relieved.
