Chapter 433 The Prodigal

"teacher!"

Luo Cheng pushed open the door and walked in, saluting Jia Xu.

Jia Xu waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty, please sit down!"

Luo Cheng turned around and sat down beside him, and asked, "I don't know if the teacher called the disciple to come, what's the order?"

Jia Xu stroked his willow beard and asked, "I heard that the prince often visits the military camp recently, but I don't know why?"

Luo Cheng said: "Father taught his disciples that they should learn to be sympathetic to soldiers, so they went to the military camp to experience it."

Jia Xu said solemnly: "It is important to be sympathetic to the soldiers, but the son only needs to understand the needs of the soldiers, and there is no need to waste a lot of time on the soldiers. Military and political strategies and tactics are what the son must master. How can you lose the big because of the small."

Luo Cheng said disapprovingly: "Teacher, you're covering everything, right?"

Jia Xu raised his brows and said, "What is your opinion?"

Luo Cheng said with a smile: "I think, people's energy is limited, it is impossible to know everything, if even the tedious military affairs and government affairs have to be handled by disciples themselves, then why do other people need to do it, besides, there is only one disciple People, even if they have three heads and six arms, are too busy. Therefore, the disciples think that as long as the officials are well managed and let the officials do things, the disciples only need to be responsible for the officials under the responsibility not to be greedy, and the people can eat their stomachs and not rebel, then nothing will happen. If The disciples are too lenient, and the officials below will be lazy if they are not active in their work, or even pass the buck, what does the teacher think?"

"This……"

Jia Xu was very surprised and said, "Who told you this?"

Luo Cheng said: "The disciple thought of it himself."

Jia Xu was half-believing, this insight was very incisive, he really didn't believe that Luo Teng came up with it himself.

After all, this kid is only fifteen years old, with limited knowledge and experience, how could he think about such a complicated question.

Jia Xu changed his mind and said, "Even so, you still have to read the classics, otherwise how can you be discerning and make good judgments!"

Luo Cheng didn't talk back this time, but said honestly: "Yes, teacher, the disciple remembers."

Jia Xu then nodded slightly, and said, "Okay, son, let's go to work!"

Luo Cheng hurriedly got up to leave, and left with a bitter face.

When he got outside the door, his sad face immediately turned into a smiling face, and he walked away refreshed.

Jia Xu stared at the door for a while, then couldn't help shaking her head.

Shizi is extremely intelligent, which should have been a good thing, but he is just too intelligent.

There is an old saying that goes, cleverness is misunderstood by cleverness.

Such a person will either become a generation of wise kings, or a generation of faint kings.

It seems that we still need to work harder in the future and teach this disciple well. The fathers worked hard to start a business, and they can't ruin the foundation of the country in the hands of the prodigal like in the pre-Qin period.

It is a kind of sadness that the first emperor was so talented, but he gave birth to a prodigal son like Hu Hai.

Qin destroyed the six kingdoms and unified China, opening a new page in history, but the second generation died.

Although there is no eternal dynasty in this world, the lord and his servants have worked hard and worked hard to start a business. They can't ruin the foundation after only two generations like the Qin Empire.

Jia Xu pondered about teaching the son, but gradually became fascinated by it.

Half a month later, Bingzhou was initially decided.

Luo Zheng immediately led his army south to Huguan, preparing to enter Jizhou.

At the same time, Gao Shun, the general guarding the Central Plains, led an army of [-] to go north to Guandu, preparing to cross the Hebei Expedition, and ordered Zhang Xiu, the guard of Gaotang, to lead the army across the river, assuming a posture to attack Qinghe at any time.

After the news reached Yecheng, Yuan Shang immediately panicked.

Although Shen Pei and Feng Ji reminded him to be careful when Luo Zheng captured Bingzhou and took advantage of the situation to enter Jizhou, Yuan Shang had already prepared, but when Luo Zheng really led the army to attack, he was still a little panicked.

Originally, there were still nearly 20 troops in Jizhou after Yuan Shao's defeat at Guandu, but these three Yuan brothers fought happily. Zhang Yan took [-] Black Mountain troops to the Taihang Mountains to become the king of the mountain again. They fled a lot and lost part of the battle with their two elder brothers, leaving only [-] soldiers and horses.

How can a mere [-] soldiers and horses stop Luo Zheng's tiger and wolf division.

Yuan Shang convened his confidants, civil and military, to discuss countermeasures, and at the same time sent people to negotiate peace with Yuan Xi, preparing to join forces to resist Luo Zheng's advance.

Yuan Xi was not stupid, he knew the reason why his lips were dead and his teeth were cold, so he immediately negotiated peace with Yuan Shang and prepared to join forces.

But at this moment, news came from Mobei that the Mobei cavalry was gathering in Xiangdanhan Mountain, and it seemed that there were signs of preparing to go south. Yuan Xi could not care about Yuan Shang, and immediately gathered in Shanggu and Daijun soldiers and horses.

At the end of March, Luo Zheng personally led an army of [-] cavalry out of Huguan and entered Weijun.

At the same time, Gao Shun also led his army across the river to attack Liyang, an important military town. Although Gaotang guard Zhang Xiu had few soldiers, most of Yuan Shang's troops were concentrated in Yecheng. Qinghe did not have many troops stationed, and Zhang Xiu attacked The momentum was like a broken bamboo, and seven cities were conquered within ten days. After conquering Ganling, the prefecture of Qinghe, he sent his troops south to Weijun, preparing to outflank Yecheng from the side and rear.

At the beginning of April, Luo Zheng went down several cities and killed Yecheng first. After Gao Shun captured Liyang, he also went to Yecheng one after another. The mighty general Yan Xing led his cavalry to catch up.

Yuan Shang, Shen Pei, Feng Ji and others were all captured, and none of them escaped.

Luo Zheng led the army to enter Yecheng, cut Yuan Shang Wang Jue, demoted him as a "prodigal" prince, and sent it to Chang'an.

As for the gentry of Jizhou, such as Shenpei and Fengji, they treated each other with courtesy and ordered them to work under the tent.

He also ordered Gao Shun, Zhang Xiu, Yan Xing and others to lead the army to attack the counties of Jizhou. Within ten months, Julu, Changshan, Zhongshan, Zhao Guo, Hejian and other counties all surrendered. refused to surrender.

In the last month of April, Luo Zheng personally raised the army to conquer Taihang, ordered the army to block all the main roads down the mountain, and ordered Zhang Yan to go down the mountain and surrender within ten days, otherwise he would directly set fire to the mountain. No one doubted the cruelty and determination of this murderer.

Zhang Yan ran back to Taihang Mountain for two reasons.

One is that Yuan Shang is incompetent, far inferior to his father, and it is difficult to convince the public.

The second is that the Yuan brothers fought to the death, Zhang Yan didn't want his brothers to die in the Yuan brothers' infighting.

Now the famous Luo Zheng blocked the mountain pass and ordered the Black Mountain Army to surrender. Although Zhang Yan was unhappy, it seemed that he had no other choice.

After thinking about it for three days, he obediently led the [-] Black Mountain Army down the mountain and surrendered.

Luo Zheng didn't treat him badly, and still let Zhang Yan lead his subordinates. In order to win over the army, he even allocated food, money and military resources.For those who don't shed tears without seeing the coffin, Luo Zheng has never been polite, even if he finally surrendered, he will kick him away.

And like Zhang Yan who knows current affairs, Luo Zheng has always been very generous and has enough tolerance.
