Ji Han Da Sima

Chapter 591 Spring is coming
"Oh?"

Liu Chan was surprised again and asked: "The situation in Jianghuai is not clear now, how can we attack Cao's thieves?"

With that said, Liu Chan raised the memorial again and said: "It will take half a month for Father Zhong to lead the troops to Jianghuai. How can he not be afraid of the risk of discord between the generals and the generals because of the generals' impeachment of Lu Chachi and his cavalry?"

"Your Majesty is too worried!"

Huo Jun smiled and explained: "Although the Jianghuai generals impeached Lu Cheqi, as far as I know, the generals obeyed military orders and did not violate the orders. Although Lu Cheqi was dissatisfied with the generals' impeachment, he still I think the generals can use it, so there is no need to worry about it!”

Noisy, noisy, noisy, but nothing out of the ordinary, everything just follows normal procedures.

Just like in history, Zhang Liao not only had a bad relationship with Yu Jin and Li Dian, but also had conflicts with the guard Wu Zhouduo. But it does not affect Zhang Liao's cooperation with them, and he even has an excellent record.

Or Zhou Yu's relationship with Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and other senior generals was also not good. Zhou Yu not only led them to win the battle, but also impressed Cheng and Huang Gai.

The military is never a place for seniority, but a place for meritorious service!

Generals may disrespect their commanders, but they must abide by military orders. When a general faces disapproval from his subordinates, the best response is military merit rather than intensifying conflicts.

Huo Jun can even say that the reason why they have conflicts is that the two sides have different thinking dimensions and have different information. Due to confidentiality issues, Lu Xun was unable to explain to all the generals. And when the war ends, the conflicts between the two sides will disappear.

Huo Jun did not answer directly, but pointed at the fishing rod and asked, "Does your Majesty know about fishing?"

"The reason why I don't make it clear to the generals now is not only for fear of hurting the hearts of the officers and soldiers, but also for fear of leaking the military aircraft. The value of military aircraft is to make people unpredictable, so it cannot be leaked to others!"

Huo Jun put away his fishing rod and said with a smile: "I went to the river not to fish, but to watch the river rise. In autumn and winter, the river water drops and the river surface freezes; at the turn of winter and spring, the glaciers disappear and the river water rises. Today Since then, the water level of the Yangtze River has been rising. Is it expected that the water level of the Huai River will not rise? "

Just like that saying, the most valuable thing in troubled times is people, and the least valuable thing is people!

"But after Cao Pi won the battle, he still wanted to withdraw his troops. Wouldn't it cost the soldiers casualties?" Liu Chan said hesitantly.

Now the Jianghuai generals were dissatisfied with Lu Xun. Instead of resisting military orders, they went to the court and begged for the replacement of the general. Although Lu Xun was dissatisfied with the generals' impeachment, he could understand their feelings. Although both parties have conflicts, they choose to communicate upwards, so the conflicts can still be controlled.

But one must be kind when using troops. Only when one treats a pawn like a baby can he go to a deep stream with him; if he treats a pawn like a beloved son, can he die with him. Therefore, how to grasp the measure of kindness is something that any commander needs to think deeply about.

Liu Chan thought thoughtfully and said: "Just like the secret report by Lu Chao Qi, Cao Pi seems to have thoughts of withdrawing his troops. If he wants to defeat his army, the only way to defeat him is to lay heavy bait to dispel Cao Pi's thoughts of withdrawing his troops."

Huo Jun said: "Cao Pi led his elite troops southward, intending to defeat Zhongli first and then take Huainan. Unexpectedly, Wen Xiang occupied it with a fortified city. The troops and horses were blocked for several months. The soldiers suffered heavy casualties. The divisions were old and the troops were exhausted. Therefore, the place where the land chariots and cavalry were located It should be used as bait to dissuade Cao Pi from withdrawing his troops."

Huo Jun looked at the river rolling eastward and said melancholy: "The world is in chaos, and if you want to bring peace to it, you must kill it first. If you want to win now, you must not have the heart of a woman!"

"Of course!"

Liu Chan looked at the dense terrain that Lu Xun was on and said in surprise: "It turns out that Lu Chai and his cavalry were feigning defeat~"

"When spring comes, it's time to use troops!"

Huo Jun's recognition of Lu Xun does not mean that he does not recognize the Jianghuai generals. How can we blame one party for the other when there is no fault on both sides?

"Have heard a little bit!"

Huo Jun pointed to the bait in the bamboo tube and said: "There are three fishing rods, one pole, two baits, and three people. If you want to catch big fish, why don't you use small baits? You should use big baits!"

Liu Chan was silent for a long time, and then asked: "Father Zhong is fishing by the river, how do you know you can attack thieves?"

"Compassion does not command troops!"

The most taboo thing in using soldiers is to be too compassionate. Death and injury of soldiers on the battlefield are normal, and the situation is ever-changing. If your own kindness affects your decision-making and you are not bold enough to do things, you will miss a good opportunity in the least case, or you will be defeated and killed in the worst case.

Then, Liu Chan changed the topic slightly and couldn't bear to say: "But General Deng Xian lost the battle, and four thousand soldiers were killed and injured. Is it too much?"

Since we wanted to defeat the Wei army, we naturally had to use our strengths and avoid weaknesses, highlight the advantages of the Southern Han Dynasty's good water, avoid the disadvantage of the lack of cavalry, and take advantage of the special east-west flow of the Huai River for operations.

Hearing this, Liu Chan looked overjoyed and said, "My father Zhong lives thousands of miles away, strategizing, watching the water to find strategies to defeat the enemy, and he has unpredictable abilities!"

"I wonder when Father Zhong wants to send troops?"

Huo Jun asked his attendants to carry fishing gear on their backs and said with a smile: "I have asked Huang Gongheng to organize his troops. In two or three days, we can send troops to Jianghuai!"

"it is good!"

Liu Chan called Zhang Fei with a smile and said, "My father is going to the border, and I and Mr. Zhang can wait for the good news!"

Zhang Fei put his hand on his belt and said with a grin: "Everyone said that Bo is cowardly and incompetent. I have known him for a long time, so I don't believe it, let alone the others who said that Zhong Miao has no ability to defeat thieves. Now I see Zhong Miao, The result is the same as what I thought. Zhong Miao has extraordinary abilities, which are beyond the imagination of ordinary people."

"Yi De Miao Praise!"

While the three of them were chatting and laughing, Zhou, Ge, and Guan followed closely behind, asking to see Liu Chan and Huo Jun.

"Your Majesty, Grand Sima, the attendants have requested to see you for something important!" the attendant replied.

Liu Chan glanced at the three of them and saw that Huo Jun had no objection, so he asked: "Please come forward, three gentlemen!" "No!"

Guan Xing led Zhou Buyi and Zhuge Qiao forward, raised his hands and said, "I have paid homage to Your Majesty, Grand Sima, and I have met General Hussar!"

"What's important today? I want you and the three of them to ask for a meeting together!" Liu Chan asked.

Guan Xing and Zhou Busuo looked at each other and said, "Your Majesty, the three of us want to impeach Your Majesty your servant Liao Li!"

"Ok?"

Liu Chan looked suspicious and asked, "What's the reason?"

Guan Xing showed indignation and said: "After Your Majesty left the palace, I was humble in asking for political advice. However, Liao Li, one of the servants, was arrogant and arrogant. He criticized the generals and criticized the great Sima and Ge Xiang for their mistakes in employing people. It is said that the Lu chariots and cavalry are timid and incompetent, and they are not enough to rule. Army; Sima Yin Shou dislikes business and emphasizes agriculture, and is suspected of harming the country's administration."

"Then he said that the Secretary Wang Jun was in name only. Xiang Lang and Ma Liang were officials who followed others. They were always able to follow the Tao, but they could not change the world. In addition to discussing the kings, Liao Li relied on his own strength, looked up and humiliated All the officials, therefore, joined forces with Yuan Zhi and Bo Song to impeach Liao Li."

After listening to these words, Liu Chan's face darkened and he asked: "Are Anguo's words false?"

"I dare not lie!" Zhou Buyi and Zhuge Qiao responded.

Liu Chan looked at Huo Jun and asked, "What do you think, Zhongfu?"

Huo Jun tried his best to maintain his emotions and said: "Servant Liao Li is an internal minister. I have spent a lot of time with Your Majesty. I am willing to listen to Your Majesty's opinions!"

Liao Li said these words, criticizing everyone's ability to endure it, but it involved criticizing Huo Jun and Zhuge Liang's employment skills, and even implicitly criticizing Liu Bei who died, which made Huo Jun unbearable.

Huo Jun prides himself on his outstanding ability to recognize people, and all the people he appoints are promoted based on their talents. Now Liao Li accuses Wang Can, Sima Zhi, and Lu Xun, whom he recommended, of being incompetent. This is undoubtedly a slap in his face. Of course, Liao Li not only slapped him in the face, but also slapped Zhuge Liang in the face because of Ma and Xiang.

However, as Liao Li was a servant and an official of Liu Chan's inner court, Huo Jun really couldn't go past Liu Chan and issue punishments for Liao Li.

Liu Chan calmed down and said: "Since the late emperor, the servant Liao Li has often complained. I respect Liao Li as an old minister of the late emperor, and I often refuse to pursue him. However, it is publicly stated that the country does not appoint virtuous people but appoints lay officials. Now it is not a matter of discussion among the ministers. , if not punished, it will damage the dignity of the country. "

"Correct!"

Zhang Fei responded and said: "Zhongxuan's literary talent is unparalleled, Boyan's military strategy is outstanding, and Zihua's ability to govern the capital is not what he said. We should follow your majesty's words and punish Liao Li, the servant, in order to correct the rule of the imperial court." wind."

Liao Li's bad mouth didn't just happen for a day or two, but lasted for a long time. For example, when Zhang Fei was in Wuhan, he often had banquets with literati, but unexpectedly Liao Li secretly mocked Zhang Fei. If not for everyone's advice, Zhang Fei would have beaten Liao Li.

Of course, Liao Li was not a brainless person. In the past, when Liu Bei was around, Liao Li did not dare to speak nonsense.

As for why Liao Li was excluded from the inner circle by Huo and Ge tacitly, it was not that Liao Li was not talented enough, but that Liao Li had a bad mouth and Zhuge Liang was worried about damaging the working atmosphere.

For the sake of a harmonious working atmosphere, not only Huo and Ge did not use Liao Li, but everyone also tacitly forgot about Liao Li. After all, apart from a few irreplaceable people in the current Southern Han Dynasty, with the talent pool of the current Southern Han Dynasty, even if Liao Li is not needed, there are still a lot of people who can be used.

After Liao Li was excluded from the decision-making circle, he was reduced to working with the second generation, which made Liao Li have a long-standing grudge. Given the opportunity, Liao Li couldn't help but finally started to sneer at Guan Xing, Zhou Buyi and others.

Knowing that Liu Chan was also dissatisfied with Liao Li, Huo Jun said: "Your Majesty, if Liao Li slanders the ministers, the crime will not be punishable by death. It is better to send him to a barbarian county to enrich the population of the county. For example, in Jian'an County, there are few Han people and many barbarians. Chongsheng is located between the seaside and can be used as a place of exile and distribution. "

"Father Zhong's words are as I wish."

Liu Chan nodded and said in a deep voice: "Servant Liao Li, I respect him because of the old ministers of the late emperor, but unexpectedly, the servant Liao Li has no intention of repentance and has no respect for his superiors. If you criticize the general and slander the ministers, he should be dismissed. So as not to hurt the hearts of all the ministers.”

"Your Majesty is wise!" Zhou Buyi, Guan Xing, and Zhuge Qiao responded in agreement.

Liu Chan smiled and said, "It's getting late today. Father Zhong can ride with me and return to the house together."

With that said, Liu Chan pushed Huo Jun into the car regardless of Huo Jun's wishes.

"Your Majesty, I am terrified!"

Although he got into Liu Chan's car, Huo Jun still wanted to show his attitude.

"Father Zhong is so polite!"

"Without Father Zhong, there would be no world under our Han family. Father Zhong can just accept the courtesy with peace of mind!"

After saying that, Liu Chan put his hand on the chariot driver and said with a smile: "I have been practicing driving in recent days. How about I drive the chariot for Zhongfu on the day when Zhongfu goes to war?"

"Your Majesty is joking!"

Huo Jun thought he heard a joke and said: "Your Majesty is your emperor, I dare to accept it!"

"Haha~"

ps: I have something to do at home today, so I owe you a chapter. I will make up for it in the third update tomorrow.
