85, Dedicated to Solving Junchou in the East (Part 1)
Feeling the hot gazes of everyone in the tent, although Li Jue had expected it, his expression seemed a little unnatural. He forced a smile and looked at Guo Si and said:
"Ador, what do you think?"
When everyone heard this, they immediately turned their eyes to Guo Si. Guo Si had a dark face and disdained everyone's gaze. He took a breath of wine in front of him into his mouth.
When the generals saw Guo Si's behavior, they immediately realized that Guo Si was arrogant and domineering in the army. After conquering Chang'an, they were even more proud of themselves. Now Li Jue is above all the generals and is a lieutenant and a general of the Si Li, and it is fine if he is a false ceremony. It is even more unfair to belong to the garrisons of each army. How could Guo Si resist this tone?
There is Ma Teng in the right Fufeng of Fan Chou, Duan Wei in the right Fufeng of Zhang Ji, and Yan Yan in the left Fengyi of Guo Si. After subdividing it, the three of them each had less than half of the county's territory. Only Li Jue occupied the densely populated Jingzhao Yin, who was rich in scholars and people, and also governed the troops of Hu Zhen, Yang Ding and others. In comparison, the two were like a difference.
According to Guo Si's temperament, I am afraid that after these few cups of yellow soup, I will be furious in front of everyone by drinking.
After Zhang Ji and Fan Chou looked at each other, they knew it well and didn't speak for the time being, and they just watched the changes.
Sure enough, after Guo Si poured a few large pottery glasses of wine, he patted the table, stood up suddenly, and came to the middle of the tent, looking at everyone with a gait, changing his tone according to the previous statement, and starting to say:
"Brothers are fighting against the wall and defending against their insults. I also know that everyone is a little resentful, but this time this time is different from the past. Chang'an City was beaten by brothers and their men. But now there are Ma Teng, Han Sui, Yan Yan and others, all staring at the fat piece of Guanzhong. If they are not assigned to garrison in time, they are afraid that this Guanzhong will become food for others again."
Guo Si's remarks were unexpected and immediately surprised the generals in the tent. Guo Aduo, who was chewy in the past and was vindictive, unexpectedly, today he became so clear about the righteousness and was confident that he should put the overall situation first, making it difficult for those who originally wanted to take the initiative to interfere, and the tent also fell into silence.
Guo Si said to himself regardless of the change of color on the faces of the generals in the tent:
"So, I, Guo Si, have no objection!"
After saying that, Guo Si finally settled down.
His words today were entirely because Li Jue had given him a firm promise. Although most of Zuo Fengyi was in Yan Yan's hands at the moment, as long as Li Jue made a private agreement to send troops, he promised Yan Xing to serve as the prefect of Hedong and exchanged the entire Hedong County for most Zuo Fengyi. At that time, there would be Li Jue in Guanzhong and Guo Si's troops were on the side, Yan Xing would definitely not be able to refuse.
Although Zuo Fengyi's territory is inferior to Jingzhao Yin, it is also a big county based on population and land. At least it is much stronger than the invading You Fufeng who was repeatedly war-torn, with Ma Teng and Han Sui peeping.
In addition, Li Jue secretly made other promises to Guo Si, so Guo Si finally turned to Li Jue in this matter.
After expressing his supportive attitude, Guo Si no longer spoke for Li Jue. He turned around and returned to his seat, drinking alone, but his eyes also glanced at Fan Chou and Zhang Ji from time to time.
Guo Si, who was originally the most suitable to take the lead, has already expressed his supportive attitude. Although Hu Zhen, Yang Ding and others are famous in the Xiliang army, their own strength has been greatly damaged since the two drastic changes in Chang'an, and they can only rely on Li Jue and others, so naturally they will not take the lead in opposing it rashly.
The only ones left are Fan Chou and Zhang Ji.
Zhang Ji also calmed down from the sudden situation just now. He rolled his eyes and wanted to speak out, connecting Fan Chou openly and blocking Li in secret. Guo had formed an alliance at some point.
Unexpectedly, Li Jue had already spoken first:
"General Fan Zhonglang, there is still a horse Teng on the right side of Fufeng. If you think it is inappropriate, we should discuss it again and choose another county to station troops under your command."
It's going to be bad!
Zhang Ji cried in his heart. Fan Chou fought bravely in Dong Camp and was deeply supported by his soldiers. He was a famous general in the Xiliang army. He was a brave man. Li Jue was inspired by Ma Teng, who was once his defeated general. Fan Chou was more eyes than the top, and because of his reputation, he was afraid that he would be difficult to refuse in front of the generals.
Sure enough, Fan Chou felt the different gazes from the generals. He was a self-conceited man, so how could he show his timidity in front of everyone. He snorted coldly and said loudly without thinking:
"Ma Teng's disciples were just defeated soldiers in the past. They luckily took some time to gain troops and divide the troops. If my subordinates were stationed in Youfufeng, they would definitely let them bow their heads and obey the orders, and no horse could cross the border."
“Great kindness!”
When Li Jue heard this, he immediately laughed and praised him loudly. He secretly praised Li Ru in his heart that he had indeed had insight into the hearts of the generals and used this plan in public on Fan Chou, which immediately worked. This time he had done twice the result with half the effort.
Zhang Ji, who was standing by, sighed in his heart when he saw Fan Chou's response, but now three of the four have supported this arrangement in different forms. If he objected, he would have no power to save his revenge. Instead, he would become the target of public criticism. He didn't need Li Jue to ask immediately, suppressing his dissatisfaction and started to speak in advance:
"Ji, there is no objection!"
The generals in the tent are now the best of the military strength of Li, Guo, Fan and Zhang. Since the four of them have reached a collaborative agreement one after another, the remaining contradictions in the allocation of rewards will be resolved and resolved smoothly under the collaborative discussion of the generals.
Everything was only a few days later, and the generals were rewarded in the court.
After the generals retreated, Li Jue, who had accomplished his work, specially left Jia Xu, Li Ru and the other two, and discussed some details of the court and the edict. After Li Jue confirmed that he was the biggest winner this time, he was satisfied and waved his hand to let the two retreat.
After Li Jue was left with the tent, he raised his glass and drank it into his mouth. He finally couldn't help but feel overjoyed. He looked up at the top of the tent and laughed out loud.
"General Zhonglang, I'm secretly happy at this time, it's too early!"
The laughter had not stopped, and another sound outside the tent suddenly sounded, which shocked Li Jue and he subconsciously sat down on his sword.
A corner of the tent suddenly opened, and Li Ru, who had turned back, revealed his gloomy horse face from a corner of the tent that was lifted.
"Shizhong Li, what else do you have?"
When Li Jue was ecstatic, he was suddenly interrupted by the sudden Li Ru. Naturally, he was not happy inside. However, Li Ru was someone he relied on. He had previously given him the privilege of having important matters to go straight to his military account to report, so he had to press his anger and ask in a solemn voice.
Li Ru sneered, then walked into the tent, came to Li Jie's side, and said softly:
"I had some words just now, and I was not allowed to explain them to the General of Zhonglang because of the invasion of others. Therefore, Ru returned specially to speak to the General of Zhonglang."
"Oh, that's what it is."
Li Jue was curious by Li Ru's unfathomable appearance, but after thinking of other things, he thought of himself seeing through Li Ru's selfishness and sneered:
"Mr. Li and Mr. Jia are very smart and have always consulted him when he was alive. Why didn't you say anything when we were in the tent just now, but now you turn around and want to discuss with me privately?"
Li Ru showed a strange smile on his face, and he looked at Li Jue and said:
"Jia Wenhe is pleased with the generals and only seeks to protect himself, so how can he make a good plan for the General of Zhonglang? Therefore, for this matter, Ru still needs to have an interview with General of Zhonglang alone."
Li Jue faced Li Ru's eyes, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and finally did not deny it.
Jia Xu was outstanding in wisdom, but as Li Ru said, he was now among the generals of the Western Liang army, and was very clear about protecting himself and preserving his life. It can be seen from the fact that he postponed Zuo Fengyi and then postponed the position of Shangshu Taipushe.
Jia Xu not only had the best of all the generals, but also the best of both the emperor and the Xiliang army. He promoted his merits and did not like fame and fortune. This is what Li Jue was deeply afraid of.
"Okay, Mr. Li, but it's okay!"
Li Jue reached out to signal Li Ru to sit down. Li Ru did not act politely, and said directly after sitting down.
"This time, the generals can be assigned to the generals. On the one hand, they can garrison Sanfu to resist the invasion of Ma Teng and Han Sui, and on the other hand, they can also scatter the troops gathered in Kyoto, reducing the disasters of the troops being on the side. These Jia Wenhe may be able to explain to the General of the Central Army, but after these soldiers and horses are stationed in various places, they cannot collude with each other privately. I think Jia Wenhe will definitely not offer advice to General of the Central Army."
Li Jue thought about it and nodded with some understanding. The light in his eyes also exploded.
"That's true, what does Mr. Li mean?"
"We need to be in the fiefdom and create a gap in advance, so that we can control all the generals in the future and make the six soldiers of the army use them for the generals of the Central Army!"
Li Ru's eyes were sharp and he said word by word.
···
A few days later
The soldiers of Yan Xing, Duan Wei and others also arrived in Chang'an one after another. As for the arrival of these two people, the generals of the Xiliang Army who had already divided their prey in advance knew it well, and their attitudes were different.
At the banquet where the generals were cold, but Li Jue pretended to be a prefect of Hedong when he promised Yan Xing to send troops. He reiterated the old story, mentioned the issue of being a marquis and general, and stated that Guo Si was about to station troops Zuo Fengyi. The implication was that Yan Xing would lead his troops and withdraw from Guanzhong in time.
After the test, Li Jue, Guo Si, and Zhang Ji, who were watching, were paying attention to Yan Xing and wanted to see how he dealt with it. Unfortunately, Yan Xing's attitude was not angry. He also promised calmly that his troops at Zuo Fengyi were just temporarily lent the city and after he acquired the entire Hedong county, he would withdraw his troops from Guanzhong.
The parties involved did not have an attack on the table, and the other generals and schools watched coldly. The banquet ended in a hurry with each other with their own thoughts.
After the banquet, Yan Xing, who had been promoted to General of the Central Army after the war, and Gan Ling, who was promoted to Captain, returned to his camp together.
"Brother, Li Jue and others are all villains. When they invited us to send troops to Zuo Fengyi, they repeatedly declared that they would share the sincerity with us. Now that they have captured Chang'an, they immediately changed their faces and urged us to withdraw from Guanzhong one after another. Such behaviors are extremely shameless."
