Chapter 79
Chapter 79
Liu Ci had seven sons, the eldest son died, the second son Liu Jin and the third son Liu Ji both had military merits, the sixth son Liu Yan was indifferent and did not care about political affairs, the eighth son Liu Ze was not good at fighting and was in charge of rear affairs, the rest were still young, so for the time being do not mention.
The news of the discord between Liu Jin and Liu Ji was also heard by outsiders. The two were promoted through military merits, and when leading troops to fight, there were countless disputes over supplies, soldiers, missions, etc.
And as long as it does not affect the war, Liu Ci will do nothing about it, and the attitude of the two of them "whoever has the ability will eat meat, and whoever has the ability will drink soup", from a certain point of view, it can be said that it is the father's ideal. This appearance caused the conflict between the two brothers to intensify day by day.
Although Liu Fei's army was defeated, Liu Ji was not rewarded when he came back this time, but was actually held accountable.
Before Liu Fei lost to Liu Ci, he secretly joined forces with the Puppet Dynasty and wanted to attack Liu Ci on both sides, so Liu Ci divided his troops into two groups. On the one hand, Liu Ji led an army of 20 to attack Liu Fei, and on the other, he and Liu Jin led an army of 10 troops to attack Liu Fei. Resist Dou Xiao's attack.
In the later period, Liu Ci's battle was tight, so he ordered Liu Ji to send troops to reinforce, but Liu Ji deliberately delayed in order to win, and waited until Liu Fei's army was broken before sending troops back to help.
Although Liu Ji made great contributions in this battle, the crime of disobedience and disobedience cannot escape.
It would not be an exaggeration if it were someone else who died ten times, but this is the invincible and outstanding Liu Ji, the most valued son of Liu Ci, and he has just conquered Yangzhou, so facing such a serious crime Liu Ji Ci also just took away his military power and ordered him to think behind closed doors.
On the second day after being deprived of military power, Gong Liangyin came to Liu Ji's mansion.
At that time, Liu Ji was fishing by his own pond, but after he hung the bait and cast the hook, he didn't care anymore. He opened the book in his hand and covered his face, and took a nap.
Gong Liangyin walked to Liu Ji's side while making a sound: "My lord is angry again—killed Liu Fei for my lord."
Liu Ci asked Liu Ji to capture Liu Fei alive, but Liu Ji killed him, which caused them a lot of trouble when they took over Yangzhou.
Liu Ji's lazy voice came from under the book: "I can't help it. I persuaded him to put down his weapon, but he refused to surrender no matter what. He is really tough."
Hearing such remarks, Gongliang Yin glanced at Liu Ji quietly. If he hadn't heard what other people said, he might really have believed what Liu Ji said.
He told Liu Fei to put down his weapon and surrender, so he stopped attacking.At that time, Liu Fei already had a clear intention to abandon his troops and surrender, but Liu Ji ignored the signal and continued to attack, finally forcing Liu Fei to fight him desperately, and died under his gun...
It was also the first time Gong Liangyin saw the operation of pulling people's surrender button and ignoring people's non-surrender, but he also guessed that Liu Ji was taking revenge for being imprisoned and tortured by Liu Fei.
Gong Liangyin said helplessly, "Who are you lying to, my lord?"
Liu Ji replied: "Go back and report to your father, saying that I know I was wrong and I am thinking about my mistakes." The tone of these words is really perfunctory, and it sounds half-sincere.
Gongliang Yin sighed: "Yin did not come here by the order of the lord, but because he was worried about the lord."
Although Liu Ci was annoyed by this matter, he had no intention of dealing with Liu Ji again.
Liu Ci liked Liu Ji's obedience, but was afraid that he would be too obedient.For an arrogant and indulgent person like Liu Ji, to be too obedient is against common sense, and it will only make people think that he has other plans.Therefore, Liu Ci allowed Liu Ji to act arbitrarily in some details, but he must not be disobedient in major matters.
Liu Ji reacted coldly to Gong Liangyin's seemingly earnest words, and Gong Liangyin didn't care. He has another piece of news to tell Liu Ji: "My lord has asked the second son to take over the war on the Eastern Front. The second son attaches great importance to this matter." Opportunity, and even recruited a new staff member for this purpose, that is, Gu Chongming who set up the fairy formation."
Hearing Gu Chongming's name, Liu Ji took off the book on his face, and slowly sat up straight.
Gong Liangyin noticed Liu Ji's gloomy expression, but he thought he was angry because he was replaced by Liu Jin, and persuaded him: "Now Jingzhou is busy preparing to attack the puppet dynasty, my son must not be left behind at this time."
Gong Liangyin comforted: "But don't worry, my lord. With Yin here, my lord will not neglect you for too long. You must correct your attitude and behave yourself."
Liu Ji finally raised his eyes to look at Gong Liang Yin, he sneered, and replied faintly: "That's true, thank you sir."
After entering Liu Jin's command, Han Zhao tried his best and won Liu Jin a strategic point on the Eastern Front within half a month: Weicheng.
The scale of this battle is not high, and the difficulty is not high, but the victory is clean and neat. It takes a very short time from attack to pull out the city, and the cost is very small, which fully reflects Han Zhao's ability to coordinate combat operations, and also makes Liu Jin have a greater understanding of Han Zhao. expect.
In the tent of the Chinese army, Liu Jin discussed the current situation with his staff: "After the autumn harvest, our army will launch a large-scale attack on the puppet dynasty. My father wants to clarify Tong Rong's attitude before that, and wants to send someone to Bingzhou .”
The puppet dynasty is a tough nut to crack. Liu Ci doesn't want to fight with the puppet dynasty, so he makes Tong Rong a fisherman. Therefore, it is very necessary to find out before the war. If there is a chance, it is best to sign an alliance with Tong Rong.
This is an opportunity to perform, and Liu Jin wants to fight for it.
All the counselors came up with suggestions one after another, presenting Liu Jin with a plan to persuade Tong Rong.
After listening to everyone's opinions, Liu Jin looked at Han Zhao who had been silent all this time, "What do you think, Mr. Gu?"
Han Zhao under Liu Jin behaved like a pure military strategist, unless he was asked, he didn't care about political matters.
Hearing Liu Jin ask himself, Han Zhao replied: "It's best to be in an alliance, but if you can't be in an alliance, there are also ways to play without an alliance; the false government has no morals, the people's hearts are not in harmony, Tong Rong has no power, and the combat power is insufficient. With the power of a single blow, King Zhongshan is powerful and the people will submit to him, so why worry so much?"
Although Liu Jin thought what Han Zhao said was reasonable, the answer he wanted now was not this, so he smiled, said a few perfunctory words, and then listened to other people's opinions.
Listening to their conversation, Han Zhao quietly picked up his teacup and took a sip. He is not good at strategy but not ignorant of political affairs. Of course he knew that Liu Jin didn't want to hear these things, but he was more willing to let Liu Jin treat him as someone who knew nothing but military skills. Wu Fu.
However, Liu Jin's preparations did not come in handy in the end, because Liu Ji cut him off.
Under the operation of Gong Liangyin, Liu Ji was not only exempted from the grounding, but also assigned the task of going to the state. After all, he has an absolute advantage over Liu Jin-he is old with Tong Rong's military adviser Xu Chi.
But when Liu Ji heard about the appointment, he began to bargain with Liu Ci: "I want some people."
Liu Ci, who was playing chess with Gong Liang Yin, looked at him with a picky look: "You don't have enough people under your command?"
Liu Ji smiled, and replied, "I heard that my second brother has recently acquired a general, how about asking him to lend it to me?"
Liu Ci understood that Liu Ji was dissatisfied with being snatched away by Liu Jin for the Eastern Front he fought, and wanted to make Liu Jin feel uncomfortable.
According to past experience, most people who lent Liu Ji would have problems.
Liu Ci pressed down and replied leisurely: "Go and ask your second brother yourself."
This is an attitude of "I don't care", but Liu Ji is the best at making progress, so naturally he won't shrink back like this: "Then I went and said that you asked him to lend someone to me?"
Liu Ciluo's hand froze: This kid is really thick-skinned.
It's just a subordinate of Liu Ji, who can let Liu Ji vent his dissatisfaction and Liu Ci has no objection: "Okay!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand, which meant to tell Liu Ji to "get lost".
Liu Ji achieved his goal and didn't want to stay longer, so he got up, said goodbye, and ran away in a hurry.
Liu Ji snatched the person who didn't warm up when he first got it. Liu Jin must have a problem.But, who out there cares?Ordinarily, children who can cry have candy to eat, but in Liu Ci's place, children who have been robbed have candy to eat.
This Liu Jin's face turned green when he heard Liu Ji's request, one time is fine, but the second, three, four times...
Is this the first time Liu Ji has snatched someone from him?Although some people like Liu Jin may not need it too much, but this disgusting feeling is uncomfortable enough.
But Liu Ji came with Liu Ci's words, and Liu Jin replied with a suppressed temper: "This is a bachelor of the military family. The third brother has so many talents like this, I'm afraid I won't need them."
Liu Ji laughed when he heard that: "It's better to be a military master. This time, the second brother doesn't have to worry about me robbing you."
Liu Ji blocked Liu Jin so that he had no words to refute, and in the end Liu Jin could only grit his teeth and agree to "lend" the person to him for use.
As soon as he returned to the mansion, Liu Jin called Han Zhao in front of him for questioning. He knew that Liu Ji was trying to embarrass him, but he also wanted to know why Liu Ji called "Gu Chongming" by name, and of course, beat "Gu Chongming" , he went there, don't surrender after listening to Liu Ji's few words.
To Liu Jin's question about whether he has anything to do with Liu Ji, Han Zhao replied: "When the third son entered the city, I had a little dispute with him. We seem to disagree with each other's way of using troops."
Liu Jin had heard about this incident and thought it made sense.
Su Xin, who had been standing behind Han Zhao, said, "This subordinate thinks this matter is beneficial and not harmful."
Liu Jin raised his eyes to look at him, and Su Xin continued: "This mission is related to the future battle situation. Wouldn't it be a good thing if someone could inquire first-hand information for the young master and test the details of the third young master?"
Liu Jin understands the truth, but it's one thing for him to put eyeliner next to Liu Ji, and Liu Ji always feels uncomfortable when he goes by himself.
No matter how annoyed Liu Jin was, the matter was finally settled like this: Liu Ji went to Bingzhou as an envoy, and Gu Chongming and his students followed him as entourage.
The day of departure came soon. Han Zhao and Su Xin arrived at the post station first. Su Xin got off the car and waited, while Han Zhao stayed in the carriage.
In the car, Han Zhao was reading "On the Governance of a Country", but he didn't read much after staring at it for a long time.He stayed on the carriage not because he was putting on airs of a celebrity, but because he was not ready to face Liu Ji as "Gu Chongming".
Han Zhao saw him when Liu Ji entered the city gate that day. He was a little more mature than three years ago, and the flamboyance in his eyes had settled down. Although he was still sharp, he was not aggressive.
He also saw Liu Ji's strictly disciplined and forbidden army as rumored.There is no doubt that Liu Ji has become a very good general.
Han Zhao had imagined Zhao Ji's mature and independent appearance, but when he saw the handsome and majestic young general who looked like a god of heaven, he was much more touched than he expected.
He likes powerful things, and admits that he is attracted, but the excitement in his heart at that time seems to be different from the feeling of wanting to compete with strong people when he saw them before.
This excellent young man was cultivated by him alone. He "fertilized and watered" him and watched him grow from an insignificant boy to a powerful and dazzling boy. Rather than defeating him, Han Zhao wanted to send him to the A height that I have never reached.
Just when Han Zhao was in a daze, the carriage sank.Han Zhaoyou heard the clinking sound of the cup lids of the tea set, and thought it was Su Xin who had been waiting for him for a long time to bring him tea, so he naturally stretched out his hand: "Su Xin, tea."
Then, a cup of tea was handed to Han Zhao.
However, Han Zhao noticed something was wrong when he lifted the lid of the tea. He suddenly raised his head and saw a face that was familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar.
Liu Ji had a smile on his face, and his peach blossom eyes were extremely charming: "Mr. Gu is good."
The author has something to say: Mr. Han, your perfect puppy has arrived, please check it.
Han Zhao: Get lost, don't!
