Chapter 145 Night Talk
(Please subscribe and ask for monthly tickets)
Yang Feng did not come alone. The champion Hou sent a total of ten generals and military officials to discuss with Juenhou the plan to ambush the Huns.
The overall plan has been formulated by the general. The Northern Army is secretly mobilizing troops. Within half a month, 30,000 people are ambushing 30,000 people in the valley outside Shenxiong Pass. The Southern Army led by Cui Taifu continued to put pressure on the northeast direction, leaving the Huns with no chance to take advantage of it and can only move to the west.
Chai Yue coordinated with the Northern Army on behalf of General Zhenbei. Han Ruzi sat on the side and only asked one question: What should he do if the Huns came to attack and smash the Iron City within half a month?
A general in charge of collecting intelligence, claiming that the Huns are currently in a scattered state and cannot gather together in just half a month. It may harass and shatter the Iron City, but the troops will not exceed one thousand people, and thousands of soldiers of General Zhenbei can be fully defended.
Han Ruzi listened carefully to the conversations of these professional soldiers and occasionally glanced at Yang Feng.
As the chief minister, Yang Feng was the head of the civil servants of the Northern Army. He only cared about the supply from the rear and never expressed his opinions on how to fight. Therefore, after the discussion in the first half of the time, he had nothing to do. Like Han Ruzi, he stood behind the generals, looked at the map, and listened to them talking about how to attack and how to encircle them.
There were not many Huns to fight this time, and there would be no more than 10,000 people, so everyone wanted to wipe them out in one fell swoop.
The negotiations were about to end, and Han Ruzi couldn't help but ask another question: Will the Chu army be mobilized so frequently, and will it disturb the Huns?
Hearing this question, the generals and military officers laughed, and felt that it was inappropriate, and they all put away their smiles one after another. Chai Yue explained: "The Huns are not good at inquiring about news and do not trust the Chu people who occasionally defect to them. Moreover, the Chu army's mobilization is not only a place in the broken iron city, but each city in the northern border has its defenses. The Huns are not sure which place is the trap. They will use their usual tricks, test, and then make a big attack, loot, and retreat immediately."
Chai Yue was also very young, but he knew very detailed about the battle between Chu and Hun. All the generals and military officials nodded, indicating that he was right.
Han Ruzi smiled.
It was getting late, and the Northern Army stayed overnight, Chai Yue and others were welcomed, so Han Ruzi didn't have to accompany her.
The banquet over there was a while, and Yang Feng came alone to ask for a meeting.
Zhang Youcai and Niu received an order, but Yang Feng was allowed to make an account without a notice.
Han Ruzi was sitting on the ** and flipping through the book. He looked up at Yang Feng and asked, "How did Taizu treat the betrayer?"
"Kill." Yang Feng replied and walked over.
"But according to the history of the country, Taizu let the betrayer go several times..."
"If I were to guess, Taizu had no idea that those people would betray them in advance. Look at a record in July of the second year of Taizu's rebellion. He was surrounded by the army of the previous dynasty and escaped alone, throwing away all the troops he had finally established. Will such a person show mercy to the betrayer?"
"Some people betrayed several times and lived until after Taizu set up the tripod."
"Because these people are not Taizu's confidants, they each have a force. They will fall to this side today and tomorrow, and they will never be loyal. Naturally, it is also called betrayal. Taizu kept them, just to demonstrate the intention of the Chu army to open up their own paths. The betrayal of these people actually has no great impact on Taizu. Look at the records of the fifteenth year of Taizu's decree, and the last general who had once swayed was also exterminated."
Han Ruzi flipped the book according to what Yang Feng said, and indeed saw the relevant records, but it did not describe the outcome of the army abandoned by Taizu, nor did he indicate that the minister who was exterminated was "the last swaying general."
Yang Feng stood in front of the **, "When opening up the road, everyone should be taken away and patient, so as to attract real talents and eliminate dissidents, you should be ruthless, but you must give a well-known reason. If it is useless for the time being, don't let the betrayer get too close to you."
Han Ruzi closed the letter, "After encircling and annihilation of the Huns, I will get rid of..."
"Don't reveal these to me. I am the chief of the Northern Army. If the champion Hou asked about your movements, I must not refuse to say it."
Only then did Han Ruzi remember that Yang Feng was not his subordinate, and they hadn't met for a long time.
"What can we talk about?"
“All things are public.”
"Well, should I participate in the Battle of Broken Iron City?"
"should."
"I've had hesitation..."
Yang Feng was as stern and straightforward as before, interrupting Han Ruzi, "I said 'should' because you have done it. Instead of hesitating, it is better to move forward bravely. Taizu knew in his early years that he would definitely be able to establish the Great Chu? Of course it is impossible. He just kept breaking through until he defeated all the enemies. He dared not hesitate. Any problem of the emperor would be magnified by his ministers, and any hesitation would be fatal. If he decides, he must do it to the end. Those who are at the forefront are destined to not see the road. Wherever he goes, the road may be the future."
Han Ruzi suddenly had nothing to ask. To him, Yang Feng was not a counselor, but a teacher.
"I have a look-a-honored person here. Do you want to meet him?" Han Ruzi asked.
"See you."
Han Ruzi called Zhang Youcai and ordered him to invite Lin Kunshan.
Yang Feng said: "I am two, Juehou can meet you."
"Who?" Han Ruzi was surprised.
"Don't be too strict in the patrol tonight, the first person will come to you."
“Meng…”
Yang Feng waved his hand and signaled to Juehou not to say anything, and continued, "There is another person with the surname Fang and the name of Daye. He is not easy to deal with. He is a little old and is recuperating in the Shaticheng City. If he doesn't die, it may be of great help to you. It depends on whether you have the ability to win him over."
Yang Feng made a proposition as soon as he came. This was the first time that Han Ruzi had to do it specifically, not just think about it.
Han Ruzi nodded and was about to ask about Fang Daye's origin, but Zhang Youcai had already brought Lin Kunshan back together.
Lin Kunshan first bowed to Han Ruzi. His identity in the army was an aide. He had no specific official position and did not have to give a big gift. When he saw Yang Feng, his eyebrows raised slightly.
"You recognize me," said Yang Feng.
Lin Kunshan smiled and said, "Whoever in the world, who is famous Yang Feng, wouldn't know? I've seen a portrait of you before, so I can recognize it at a glance."
Yang Feng stared at Lin Kunshan for a while, "Please give me a word to Chunyu Xiao."
"Okay, as long as you see the old teacher, you will definitely convey it. What does Mr. Yang want to say?"
"Tell him to stop. It is impossible to win the world by relying on the side and left-wing path."
"Haha, Mr. Yang really respects his old teacher. OK, I will definitely bring him there."
Yang Feng bowed his goodbye and actually left.
Lin Kunshan smiled and asked Juanhou, "When Mr. Yang sees me, is it for this little thing?"
Han Ruzi was also very surprised, especially because she felt that her conversation with Yang Feng was not over yet, "It seems that's the case."
"Well, I'm about to see Juehou."
Han Ruzi signaled Zhang Youcai and asked him to leave the tent to guard.
Lin Kunshan stepped forward and said, "How does Juenhou feel along the way?"
"Fortunately, it's easier than I expected."
"Jianhou is relaxed, but the people are not."
"Mr. Lin may say something directly." Han Ruzi thought that those who look at the qi were useful, but she was always alert to their words.
"From Mayi City to Shenxiong Pass, the road is more than a thousand miles long, and the army travels a hundred miles a day. The road is paved, the barracks are ready, and all the food, grass, slaves, etc. are prepared. There are 4,000 people in the Juehou army, and at least 40,000 people are working hard on this."
"Yes." Han Ruzi certainly knew that these things were not transformed out of thin air.
"The riot that was defeated by Juehou was caused by this. It was the autumn harvest season. Many people were recruited by the government to build roads and camps for the army. The army would leave immediately. But the people would have to pay at least ten days. Once the autumn grain was harvested, it would be taken away by the government and sent to the border cities. At that time, there would be more riots."
Han Ruzi was silent for a while, "You are telling me this now is useless."
"Of course, I just hope that one day, I can remember what I say now."
"I'm afraid this 'one day' won't come soon."
"Haha, not necessarily, the general situation has come true, only one reason is missing."
"What is the general trend? What is the reason?"
"It's not that I'm stuck. Only my mentor can see through these two. I almost felt a little angry. In short, it's good for Jue Hou to remember what I said just now." Lin Kunshan bowed and asked finally: "Don't Yang Gong also want to go to Shattered Iron City?"
Han Ruzi shook his head: "He is the chief of the Northern Army, and going to break the Iron City with me is like a demotion."
Lin Kunshan left with a smile, but Han Ruzi had a feeling that Lin Kunshan was very afraid of Yang Feng, and this fear was in the bones, not just because Yang Feng had arrested many people who looked at him.
Han Ruzi sat alone for a while and asked Nie Loach to call Chao Hua, "When you arrive at Shenxiong Pass, you can rest. Just leave only people to guard the gate at night, and you will be exempted from patrol."
Chao Hua was a little surprised by this order, but he didn't ask much questions. He went out to arrange night patrol soldiers to rest, leaving only a small number of soldiers to guard the camp gate.
Zhang Youcai and Niu usually take turns living in Juanhou's tent. Han Ruzi asked them to go to the tent next door to take a break early on the grounds of reading books.
He did read a good book, and after Yang Feng's guidance, Taizu's deeds began to show disorganization. Although the national history tried its best to highlight Taizu's foresight and claimed that he was still a commoner, he had already expected that he would be "very expensive" one day, but more details showed that Taizu initially wanted to protect himself, and only after at least three years of his rebellion could he have the ambition to compete for the world.
"Go forward bravely." Han Ruzi couldn't help but think that Taizu's "give forward courageously" caused a lot of trouble. Half of whom can survive to the end depends on alertness, while the other half depends on luck.
No wonder everyone wants to be an emperor, but there are very few people who dare to try it, and there are no one in thousands of successful people. Afterwards, the only person who has been elected as emperor seems to be protected by some kind of power.
Han Ruzi suddenly understood why he and the King of East China were so "popular". As the son of Emperor Huan, the two of them were destined to have less twists and turns in their way for the throne, but there were still half of them, and they might kill their lives at any time.
Puff, the candle burned out, Han Ruzi sighed lightly, closed the book and thought to himself, thinking that he should not imitate Taizu before the uprising and in the early stages of the uprising, but should pay attention to Taizu when the three heroes competed.
"Have you insisted on practicing?" asked a familiar voice that I hadn't heard in a long time.
“Practiced.”
"Okay, let's have a competition, I won, I turned around and left, and I'll cut off contact from now on. I'll lose, tell you all the truth, and then we'll talk about a deal."
Meng E is a stranger person than Yang Feng. Han Ruzi was about to say that she was definitely not an opponent, and one palm was already slapped in the dark with the sound of wind. (To be continued.)
