Competing

Chapter 460 Lessons Learned
Yun Qingshan looked into the distance and sighed softly. What Uncle Jiu said was right. Perhaps it was no small feat to capture Gongwei and hand it over to Zhang Han.

Now that I want to cooperate with Yue people, this matter itself is a good opportunity, and it may seem more sincere to give a generous gift.But he is an upright person, and he doesn't bother to do such things.

In any case, Gongwei and him used to be friends, even though Gongwei might have had other thoughts from the beginning, but they were friends after all.If Gong Wei came to ask him for help as a friend, he might consider helping him, but Gong Wei seems to have forgotten this point, it's all about skill and coercion.This made Yun Qingshan very angry, and further confirmed that Gong Wei had a strong sense of utilitarianism from the very beginning of the relationship. He disdained such friends, and perhaps he could not be called a friend at all.

Yun Qingshan is familiar with the culture of the Central Plains, but he is still as straightforward as a barbarian at heart, and the things he believes may be difficult to change easily.He can't give him enough help, can't become friends with him, even if he becomes a life-and-death enemy in the future, and the other party has no fault today, he still has to let the other party leave safely. This is his principle of Yun Qingshan .

"Young master, what should we do now? Contact the Vietnamese army?" Uncle Jiu tentatively asked softly.

In fact, to be honest, Yun Qingshan naturally hopes that the barbarians will be in a relatively independent state, so that it will be of great benefit to both the tribe and himself.But it's hard to have both, sometimes you have to make a trade-off.

Thirty thousand barbarians may not be the opponent of the Vietnamese army, but Yun Qingshan knows very well that even if they can win, it must be a miserable victory.The battle with the Qin people back then caused very serious damage to the tribe, which can be described as a serious injury.Now that he has finally recovered, if he goes on the same path as before, the consequences will undoubtedly be very serious.

It is precisely because of the understanding of the Central Plains culture and their history that Yun Qingshan is very clear about the truth of rise and fall.Think about the previous Minyue and Dongou as a good example. Their leaders all wanted to compete with the Yue Kingdom, but they all failed in the end.On the contrary, after surrendering, the life of the people of their tribe was very prosperous.If the barbarian can get such treatment, he is still willing.

Yue Wang Yinxu, I heard that his character can achieve such a great achievement in such a short period of time, it must be extraordinary.Yun Qingshan had a feeling of admiration and pity for the hero in his heart, and he must meet him whenever he has the opportunity!
"Uncle Jiu, go and contact Zhang Han, and tell him that Wuling is quite willing to surrender! Although the envoys of the Vietnamese army may arrive soon, in order to show our sincerity, let's take the initiative to go! The examples of Minyue and Dongou are in the There, we should learn our lesson." Yun Qingshan pondered a lot before making a decision.Although I have made a lot of sacrifices, the clansmen should benefit a lot!
Uncle Jiu hesitated for a moment, but nodded in agreement. He has no right to change what the young master decides, let alone disobey it.Since the young master made such a decision, there must be a reason for him!
Yun Qingshan looked at the direction where Uncle Jiu's back disappeared, sighed softly, and murmured: "I hope you don't let me down..."

……

In the south of Linjiang Kingdom, there are not many cities here, and there are very few effective counterattacks that can be organized in the face of Yue Kingdom's attack.So soon a large piece of land was lost, and was soon occupied by the Vietnamese army.

The commander-in-chief of the southern line of Vietnam is General Zhang Han. Zhang Han's prestige and strength are well known in the world. After hearing the news, many guards of Linjiang Kingdom were frightened.

Therefore, the Vietnamese army advanced very smoothly, and soon acquired a large tract of land.At first, the army could go straight to the north and march towards Jiangling, the capital of Linjiang Kingdom, but at this time, General Zhang Han ordered to set up camp, stand still and temporarily stop advancing.

For such an arrangement, many generals did not know the reason and were quite puzzled.Zhou Da was one of them. He was very confused about this, so he came to the Chinese military tent to ask what happened.

Zhou Da was originally a defender in the south of the Yue Kingdom, because the oolong incident of Si Yao's false surrender last time had affected him a lot and made him very depressed.After finally finding an opportunity to send troops to fight, naturally he was unwilling to give up, so he immediately wrote to Yin Xu requesting to send troops to fight.Originally, Yin Xu was reluctant to agree, but later he reluctantly agreed because of other reasons.

The person who led the army in this battle was General Zhang Han. With him, the army would have no birth problems. Yin Xu was very relieved about this, and was not worried that Zhou Da would cause any trouble in the army.He was even given the position of a general, allowing him to perform crimes and meritorious deeds.Zhou Da also had this kind of thinking, if he could make a great contribution in this battle, those previous mistakes, sins, and some bad influences would be swept away.

So from the very beginning of the war, he fought hard and was very brave, but he made a lot of contributions.But he knew very well in his heart that these were nothing, the real great contribution lies in Jiangling, the capital of Linjiang Kingdom.Taking Jiangling and capturing Linjiang King Gong Ao and his son was the first achievement, so Zhou Da was very anxious.Pu Jun and others of the Northern Route Army advanced along the waterway. With the cooperation of the navy and the guarantee of shipping, the attack would undoubtedly be smoother.If they were the first to capture Jiangling City, this achievement would be lost.

It was precisely because of this that Zhou Da wanted to set off as soon as possible and attack Jiangling City.But now Zhang Han actually ordered the whole army to set up camp on the spot, stand still, and stand still. This made Zhou Da very puzzled. Now he wants to go to Zhang Han to ask for clarification and see what is going on with this matter. ?

"General, why did you stop advancing? Now that our troops are in full swing, we just take advantage of the victory and pursue them?" Zhou Dayi asked Zhang Han when they met.

Zhang Han saw his hasty look and whether he was too polite to ask, and blamed him, but laughed and said: "Zhou Da, the king asked you to fight with the army this time just to grind your temper, why don't you Are you still in such a hurry?"

Although Zhou Da has followed Yin Xu for a long time and has senior qualifications, his status is still not as good as that of Zhang Han, and he has made mistakes before, so he does not dare to be arrogant.Seeing Zhang Han's words, he realized that he was indeed a little rude, and immediately said with a sneer: "General, Zhou Da was in a hurry, please forgive me, don't be like the general!"

Zhang Han smiled and said, "What are you talking about? Are you running over in a hurry to say that if we stop like this, Pu Jun will soon enter Jiangling City. I'm afraid that General Pu will take the first place, right?"

Having been guessed by Zhang Han, Zhou Da couldn't help but blush a little, lowered his head and said: "I know I can't hide it from the general, it's true, we have to hurry!"

Zhang Han said: "The so-called haste makes waste, and quick success often leads to problems. You suffered a loss from Si Yao last time, why didn't you learn your lesson?"

Zhou Dao: "General, the people of Linjiang Kingdom did not feign surrender this time!"

Zhang Han said with a helpless smile: "Yes, they didn't feign surrender, that's not what I'm talking about. In everything, we must consider the pros, cons and risks of things, especially when marching and fighting. If you make a careless move, the light ones will suffer defeat, and the serious ones will all be destroyed." The army is wiped out, so you must be careful, and you can't rush everything, otherwise there will be big problems.

For example, this time against Linjiang Country, our army went very smoothly, but the more we have to consider the risk at this time.Because it is easy to get carried away, the minds of the soldiers are most likely to be excited at this time, and some wrong decisions occur. The more this is the case, the more it is necessary for the generals to be sober, look at the overall situation, and deal with it carefully! "

Zhou Da nodded and said: "What the general said is true!"

Zhang Han said: "Our current enemy seems to be the Linjiang Kingdom, but in fact? Think carefully, are we facing only them as an enemy? We must consider whether there are other threats around us, and deal with them carefully!"

"Then General, besides Linjiang Kingdom, what enemies are there near us?" Zhou Da didn't notice that there were no other enemies.

Zhang Han said: "Have you noticed? The mountains in the south of Linjiang Kingdom are full of barbarians. The barbarians are fierce and brave, and the barbarians are also very good at fighting. What if they send troops brazenly?"

"Barbarians?" Zhou Dayi was a little puzzled, because these barbarians had never been considered in the battle plan from the very beginning. When Zhang Han raised it suddenly, he realized that his vision was a bit narrow.

Zhang Han nodded and said, "Yes, before we figured out their movements, we sent troops easily. What if the flanks or the rear were attacked by barbarians?"

Zhou Dao: "Are the barbarians sure to send troops? And are the barbarians very capable in combat? Can they defeat our elite army?"

Zhang Han shook his head and said, "Don't underestimate them. Wuling has [-] warriors who can fight. You know. If they attack us suddenly, we will be able to defeat them suddenly, and we will suffer serious losses, which will undoubtedly affect the plan to attack Linjiang Kingdom, so we must be careful in everything and not be careless."

Only then did Zhou Da realize that there was some danger, and asked, "Then what should we do now?"

Zhang Han said: "Now we need to determine Wulingman's attitude, as long as they don't participate... I have already sent someone to see the leader of Wulingman, Yun Hao, Yun Qingshan, whether to send troops or not depends on his attitude! Remember, you must not be anxious about leading the army to fight, and you must learn from it. It is a meritorious service to capture Jiangling City, but the most important thing is the safety of the army, occupying the entire Linjiang Kingdom, this is a great achievement!"

Zhou Da chuckled and said: "What the general said is true, Zhou Da must learn a lesson!"
