Li Yang's ability to govern the world is indeed obvious to all, and it is impossible to accept it.
However, fighting with troops, especially when the strength of the troops is so disparate, is not something that can be won by brains.
"With 500 people, fighting tens of thousands of people head-on is not enough. However..." A general frowned slightly, and said: "The Prime Minister of China can speak well, and he asked His Majesty to deal with the chaos in the court yesterday. Quan, according to the general, the Prime Minister of China seems to want to persuade the bandits to surrender this time."
Everyone nodded slightly, and at the same time someone said: "To persuade you to surrender, you need to rely on the disparity between the enemy and us to persuade you to surrender. However, the Prime Minister of China is only five hundred soldiers. When you have the upper hand, is it possible that you will ask yourself to surrender?"
The general couldn't help but shook his head and smiled, feeling that he was asking an idiot.
Not only do they have tens of thousands of troops, but they also defend the city and gain the upper hand. If this situation will come down?Unless the rebel's head is kicked by a donkey.
Everyone couldn't help laughing at it.
However, laughing and laughing, everyone really couldn't figure out how Li Yang planned to use 500 people to suppress the rebels and take back the city.
You know, yesterday in the main hall, he had sworn to boast that he would not return to court if he did not vindicate the traitors and regain the city.
This bullshit was blown out in front of the civil and military ministers of the court, shouldn't he worry about slapping his face?
Although Zhang Han said that he didn't believe that Li Yang could wipe out the rebels with 500 people, but in his heart he felt that Li Yang didn't seem to be just bragging, and he would definitely fight this battle.The question is, how will he fight?So much so that he dared to boast so much.
I couldn't figure it out, so I turned around and asked Nei Shiteng, who had been busy with military affairs, and said, "Master Nei Shi, in your opinion, how will Li Yang fight this battle?"
Nei Shiteng smiled wryly and shook his head: "General Zhang, Prime Minister Zhong is a weird talent, and he can't be judged by common sense. The old man can't understand things that you can't understand. But... the Prime Minister dare to be For the emperor, to say such big words in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, he must be somewhat sure in his heart. So, let's wait and see!"
Zhang Han nodded helplessly, so he had no choice but to stop thinking hard.
At this time, a general named Sima Xin said: "I'm afraid that the Prime Minister is not deliberately bragging this time, but has a conspiracy."
"Oh?"
Everyone was stunned, and they all asked in surprise: "General Sima, what do you mean by that?"
Sima Xin said thoughtfully: "You generals should have some understanding of the style of the Prime Minister Zhong. Since he entered the court, he likes to be high-profile in everything, and he is also frivolous. But, have you ever seen him say that Can you grasp the big words?"
Everyone frowned and didn't answer.
Sima Xin laughed lightly, and continued: "No, the Prime Minister of China never said anything big that he couldn't do it, the legislation is the same, but Zhao Gao is also the same. A month ago, he said to use merchants to help disasters, and it's still the same. All the big words he said are just big words for me to listen to. But to him, they are all things that he can do, and they are all done with ease. This... Could it be that he Are you frivolous?"
Sima Xin shook his head in self-concern: "I don't think so, but we are too narrow-minded and intellected, so we often take the words of Prime Minister Zhong as big talk. This time, Prime Minister Zhong said , With five hundred law enforcement soldiers, the rebellion can be wiped out, and the two counties can be taken back, and we all feel that this is a frivolous big talk, but from the point of view of the general, in fact, he may be confident."
Following Sima Xin's narration, everyone's brows became more and more wrinkled, because everyone found that what Sima Xin said was really reasonable.
Everyone thought that Li Yang was bragging, but every time he really achieved it, the people around him were dumbfounded every time.
Zhang Han hurriedly said: "Then what do you mean when you say you have a plan?"
Everyone immediately focused their attention on Sima Xin again.
Sima Xin said: "If Prime Minister Zhong promised to use 500 soldiers to quell the chaos in the main hall, it was not because he was fighting against General Zhang, then he had something to do. Just ask, who will make trouble for himself? Use [-] soldiers to fight Putting down the chaos is not a small challenge. Moreover, a few days ago, His Majesty specifically offered to send [-] troops to him because he was worried about the safety of the Prime Minister, but the Prime Minister directly refused. In fact, only one One reason is to prove military capability!"
"Proof of military capability?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and a general wondered: "The Prime Minister of China is already in high position, so is it possible that he still wants to take over the military and political power?"
Everyone nodded: "Yes, even if he has outstanding military ability, I am afraid that His Majesty will not allow him to take over the military power. You must know that there is a General Meng who guards the border outside."
Sima Xin shook his head and smiled: "Everyone is wrong. The Prime Minister of China will naturally not want to seize the military and political power. With General Meng around, it is impossible for him to have such an idea. So, if the last general guessed correctly, he did it for his sake. The captain under his command, Han Xin."
"For him?" Everyone was confused and at a loss.
"Exactly!" Sima Xin nodded, at this moment, he looked up at Nei Shiteng, and said, "Lord Neishi resigned from His Majesty a month ago, and Lord Neishi is also the guard of the capital. As for the position of lieutenant, once Lord Neishi leaves, who should take the position of lieutenant of the capital's garrison?"
When everyone heard this, they finally came to their senses, and couldn't help being stunned!
Because what Sima Xin meant was that Li Yang used [-] soldiers to quell the chaos, and his intention was to serve as the lieutenant of the capital guard!
The post of lieutenant of the capital's garrison, but Xiangmomo, everyone wants to win this position.In the words of later generations, this position is equivalent to being the garrison commander of the capital.How high its status is, how important it is, it can be seen that it is average.
Therefore, Sima Xin said that Li Yang was playing the idea of the lieutenant of the capital guard, can everyone not be shocked?
This really exceeded everyone's expectations.
And, more importantly, although Nei Shiteng resigned to the emperor a month ago, the emperor has not allowed Nei Shiten to hand over power because he has not had a suitable replacement, and he has not been able to resign and return to his hometown for a long time.
If, this time, Han Xin really relied on 500 people to put down tens of thousands of thieves and take back the city, this proves that he has the ability to use soldiers like Sun Bin is alive, and the emperor will naturally reuse him.At this time, there just happened to be a vacancy for the post of lieutenant in the capital's garrison, so it just happened to be filled?
Thinking of this, everyone booed each other!
Chapter 1 Ten Going Home
Although Sima Xin's words were all speculations and inferences, everyone felt that there was a feeling of seeing the sun behind the clouds.
If it is as Sima Xin said, then Li Yang's scheming is too terrifying!
Originally, in everyone's eyes, he was a frivolous and arrogant young man with ambition, but now he suddenly discovered that this person's mind was as scheming as an old fox's, and everyone would have a feeling of taking a breath of cold air.
Zhang Han was also stunned, and then said: "Even if he wants to seek the position of lieutenant of the capital guard, it depends on whether he has the ability. If it is true that 500 people can wipe out the rebels, Your Majesty will let that Han Xin be in charge of the lieutenant of the capital guard." For this position, I, Zhang Han, am also convinced."
The generals nodded thoughtfully.
In the army, what they admire is not the way of maneuvering, but the way of using soldiers. If Han Xin can really do what everyone else can't, everyone will naturally have nothing to say.
Of course, if Li Yang heard the conversation in Junzheng Temple, he would definitely be surprised, and Sima Xin would be extremely surprised.
Because, Sima Xin's conjectures and inferences were all correct!
Yes, the reason why Li Yang accepted this challenge was to reduce the casualties of the army and civilians of the Great Qin. This was on the one hand. In fact, the deeper reason was to seek the post of lieutenant of the capital guard.
Bringing tens of thousands of people and letting Han Xin go to quell the chaos and win them is also a small feat.
Only by bringing 500 people to quell the chaos, can Han Xin's military talents be displayed, which surprised the emperor and entrusted him with reuse.
In order to lay out the strategic plans for the world in the future, in the army, it is necessary to lay out a chess piece of its own early, so that it can be used by me in the future.
A few days ago, Yushitai officials impeached themselves for colluding with officials and businessmen, which is the best example.
No matter how much power you hold, as long as there are no loyal supporters in your hands, all high-ranking power is like the emperor's new clothes. Li Yang seems to be in charge of the legal and political power now, but in fact he has nothing.Therefore, if you want to realize your own ideals in the future, no matter whether it is legal affairs, government affairs, or military administration, you need to deploy your own people, so that your own strategies in the future will not become empty talk.
For Li Yang, this is a very, very important matter, so this time sending troops to quell the chaos, this kind of matter involving the use of troops to fight wars, in Li Yang's view, is the most worthwhile grasping, a great opportunity for a comprehensive layout.
As long as the rebels can be wiped out, Han Xin, a man of his own, can gain a foothold in the military and political system.
How could Li Yang not want such a good opportunity?
Of course, if he really went to compete with the generals, it would seem too ambitious, so bragging a little bit, it looks like he is fighting Zhang Han, but it can be concealed.
It's just that Li Yang probably never imagined in his dreams that even Feng Quji and the others couldn't see his thoughts, but a warrior would see them.
