Chapter 195: Alliance


Chapter 195 Alliance "What is the difference between the governor's move and the Yuan Gongdao during the Three Kingdoms period?"

Almost at the same time, Lu Lu once asked angrily in the Gaoyou City magistrate's office.

Six thousand soldiers and horses were equipped with weapons and baggage, and there was enough food for these soldiers and horses to feed them for three months.

They sent ships to transport them across the Yangtze River.

The leader of these people, Zhang Shicheng, only helped the Huai'an army to fraudulently open the gate of Gaoyou City, and his contribution was far less than the reward given to him.

And judging from this person's past behavior, he is definitely not an easy person to control.

If you are not careful, you will be completely out of Zhu Bayi's control and become a serious problem for the entire Huai'an army.

There is no need to cite uncommon allusions.

A familiar example can explain all the problems.

That is Yuan Shu and Sun Ce during the Three Kingdoms period.

According to the current popular story, when Sun Ce was in poverty, he went to Yuan Shu twice.

Yuan Shunian relied on his friendship with his father Sun Jian and twice sent money and troops to support his comeback.

He also recommended Sun Ce to the imperial court as the captain of Zhechong, provided him with food and military pay, and asked him to pacify Jiangdong for him.

As a result, after Sun Ce pacified Jiangdong, he immediately refused to obey Yuan Shu's orders.

And when Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, he decisively broke off diplomatic relations.

Not only did he rebel, but he also dragged Lu Su, Zhou Yu and others to bring more than half of the prefectures and counties under Yuan Shu's rule into his own pocket.

As a result, Yuan Shu's power was suddenly reduced, and he was soon ruined by the attacks of Liu Bei, Lu Bu, and Cao Cao.

It is said that he could not even drink honey water when he died.

It can be said that more than 70% of the reason for Yuan Shu's defeat in the late Han Dynasty was because Sun Ce, whom he mistrusted, single-handedly supported this Jiangdong tiger.

The current relationship between Zhu Bayi and Zhang Shicheng is very similar to the relationship between Yuan Shu and Sun Ce back then.

The contrast in strength is a hundred times different, and one party gives the other almost unconditional support and trust.

If Zhang Shicheng turns his back on Zhang Shicheng after establishing a foothold in Jiangnan, it will be too late for Zhu Gulu to regret it.

After all, his attack on Meng Yuan's territory can be said to be a crime against the people.

And attacking the territory of the same Red Turban Army Robe Ze, you will inevitably be charged with fighting against a roommate.

"This, this, it's not like this."

Zhu Ba11 didn't know other allusions, but he had read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms several times.

He was immediately sprayed by Lu Lu Zeng, who made him sweat on his forehead and explained with a blushing face.

"Didn't we already predict before sending out troops this time?

The most we can do is push the troops to the north bank of the Yangtze River.

We won't be able to take care of those areas on the south bank for a year and a half.

Letting Zhang Shicheng go over to cause trouble for the court will also save the south.

Are the officers and soldiers watching us all day long?"

"When have our Huai'an Army ever been afraid of fighting with others?"

The old Jinshi puffed up his chest, his snow-white beard waving up and down, "Just because Zhang Jiu Si's 6,000 people can protect our Huai'an Army from the wind and rain, it's really a good idea.

How could he possibly defeat the Huai'an army if he could even defeat his opponent?"

This is the disadvantage of non-traveling natives.

Among everyone here, except Zhu Ba11, I am afraid no one would believe that Zhang Shicheng, a seemingly insignificant little character at the moment, was one of the most critical figures that led to the collapse of the entire Meng Yuan Empire.

At the worst time, his family had single-handedly brought down the million-strong army of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasty, and they would not have known that although Zhang Shicheng lost to Zhu Yuanzhang in the battle for the world, he was secretly commemorated by the people under his rule for hundreds of years because of his good governance.

Year.

Note 1 It's a pity that Zhu Bayi couldn't express this reason at all, and no one would believe it if he did.

After all, Zhang Shicheng's current excellence is only focused on his cunning and decisiveness.

Other aspects are not worth mentioning at all.

"Old man, please calm down."

Fu Youde couldn't bear to see Zhu Bayi being criticized.

Fu Youde stepped forward and gave Lu Zeng a gift as a junior, and then took the initiative to take the responsibility on himself, "In the end, the general will make his own decision.

I agreed to Zhang Shicheng's conditions.

The chief executive just didn't want me, the Red Turban Army, to break his promise, so he fulfilled his promise on behalf of the general."

"You, you are a little governor, why do you agree so randomly?"

Lu Zeng didn't give Fu Youde face at all.

He turned his head and growled at him, "If we want to attack Gaoyou City, we don't need Zhang Jiusi's help.

How much more can we spend?"

I just want to show off my ability every moment, I just want to show my ability with more than a hundred If you dare to attack Gaoyou with a cavalry, what if you are blocked by officers and soldiers?

Wouldn't it be possible for more than 150 brothers to die because of you?

Personal bravery is of no use to Lu Bu on the battlefield.

Even though he bravely championed the three armies, he could not escape the fate of being hanged by Baimenlou in the end."

"You" Fu Youde was sprayed until his face turned black, but old man Lu couldn't do anything about it.

The old man is not only Zhu Bayi's grandfather-in-law, but also Zhao Junyong's mentor.

He was two generations ahead of him, and he was determined to rely on his elders and act like his elders.

Anyone who saw him would have to give in.

"Good Lord, Mr.

Zhu is right in doing this."

Seeing Lu Luzeng getting more and more angry, Mao Gui couldn't help but stepped forward to explain, "Don't just get angry.

When we do things in the Red Scarf Army, we must pay attention to credibility.

Besides, From now on, the territory of the Huai'an Army will become larger and larger. , there will definitely be more and more heroes who come to seek refuge.

They must be given a precedent to make them feel that Manager Zhu is worthy of their following.

Otherwise, they can still enjoy the prosperity and success in any county they occupy, so why bother to seek refuge there. under your banner" "It's just a bunch of rabble."

Lu Zeng glanced at him and curled his lips disdainfully.

But his voice and tone of voice finally softened a bit.

"I know that there are some things you don't like to hear.

But I have to say it.

Manager Li, Manager Zhao and Marshal Liu of the Red Scarf Army have recently recruited many heroes.

Don't just think about expanding the team. , sometimes the team expands too fast, which may not be a good thing for those who come to join During the war, apart from waving flags and shouting, there are only a few people who can really help.

But if they do something bad, the people will remember it all on you people, and they will lose their reputation inside and outside.

Here, please calculate whether you took advantage or suffered a big loss."

"Hey" Mao Gui's face turned red when he was asked, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead.

Lu Lu once said that although Ha's tone was harsh, every word he said hit the point.

Nowadays, each family of the Red Scarf Army, to a greater or lesser extent, has the problem of rapidly expanding strength and a mixture of good and bad members.

The actual combat power that can be used is not much more than that of the last battle of Shahe.

For example, Zhao Junyong, the five thousand elites he sent this time were almost half of his field strength.

The ten thousand people led by Mao Gui himself accounted for almost one-third of Zhima Li's new army.

This was the result of the fact that Xuzhou and Suzhou both worked hard to implement Zhu Bayi's original military training method.

The red scarf princes from other places are even more powerful on the outside and capable on the inside.

Don't look at everyone who claims to have one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand.

If they actually go to the battlefield and can produce one-tenth of the soldiers they claim to be, they are considered capable.

"Hehe" Fu Youde sneered in a low voice beside him.

The old Jinshi's words are indeed valid in theory, but the scope of the attack is too broad.

After careful calculation, he, Fu, is not a general trained by the Xuzhou Army.

He is also one of the "heroes" who come here to vote.

If all those who come here to invest are just fake people, why should he, Fu Youde, stand here?

"Brother Fu, don't take it to your heart.

Mr.

Shan is old and angry now.

Sometimes he will inevitably speak without thinking carefully."

Zhu Bayi heard this and no longer bothered to argue with the old Jinshi and smiled quickly.

Patch the hole for him.

"I'm not talking about you."

Lu Luzeng also quickly realized that he had accidentally involved Fu Youde.

He turned his head and explained angrily, "I'm not talking about your brother and General Li Xixi.

People like you brothers can only come out of a hundred.

Not one.

And you are now completely under the command of General Manager Zhao.

I mean, those who come here but still lead their own troops, like Zhang Jiusi, who knows what he has in mind."

"Then what do you always say?"

Fu Youde felt unhappy, so he simply went straight to the point, "You can't just chop Zhang Jiusi down and then devour his followers.

Since others came to seek refuge because of his fame, they must have thought that they would follow Zhu.

The general manager is worse than fighting alone, and those who are willing to come to join us are definitely not as strong as General Manager Zhu.

You, the boss, cannot send them to court just because they are weak.

Go to Ting.

Or just come and annex it, no matter whether you want it or not.

In that case, no one will dare to come to Huai'an again.

Even if you don't need help from others during the war, there must be someone.

Stay and maintain order.

For every city conquered, allocate part of your main force to guard it.

After five or six cities, how many people will be left around Manager Zhu?"

"This" Old Master Lu's beard trembled wildly, and he was speechless for a long time.

The Huai'an army is weak in strength, which is a fact that no one can deny.

The main reason for the thinness of its troops was that both Zhu Bayi and he were too picky.

In the past, they only believed in the teams they trained, and few or almost no outside defectors were accepted.

Although this maintained the team's combat effectiveness and greatly reduced the burden on the local area, when it came to external expansion, the troops and horses were simply not enough.

Otherwise, there is no need to recruit people like Guo Zixing and Sun Deya to form a coalition of five companies this time.

What is even more depressing is that although Guo Zixing and Sun Deya have joined the coalition, they have not played any role so far.

On the contrary, because their strength was too poor and their marching speed was too slow, they held everyone back.

"Okay, okay, please stop saying a few words."

Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was getting more and more tense, Mao Gui had no choice but to smooth things over for everyone, "Senior Lu's words were also out of good intentions.

But we are now The actual situation is not as simple as what the old man said.

In short, I think it is better for one more person to rebel against the court than one less person.

Anyone who really wants to fight for the world must defeat the Tatars first, and then decide who is the boss and who is the second.

If Mr.

Li was like what Mr.

Lu said, some people may be difficult to control. , just kill him as soon as possible.

Haha, it’s not me, I’m afraid we have no chance to stand together today, let alone fight the Tatars side by side.”

Note 1: Zhang Shicheng was not good at fighting, but when the Red Scarf Army suffered a heavy setback, he relied on Gaoyou City to hold off Tuotuo's hundreds of thousands of troops.

What is even more commendable is that under Zhang Shicheng's rule, a series of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes imposed by the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties were abolished, water conservancy projects were built, farming and mulberry farming were encouraged, and schools were rebuilt.

He severely attacked the flooded Buddhist temples at that time, distributed the Buddhist fields to the people, and smelted the Buddha statues and minted them into coins to replace the waste paper.

And actively return part of the "national tax" to the people.

Therefore, the Zhang Shicheng brothers have left a very good reputation among the people.

Yang Weizhen, a writer in the late Yuan Dynasty, commented on him: the first is that soldiers are not eager to kill; the second is that they worship when they hear good words; the third is that they are thrifty and self-reliant; the fourth is that they will be punished if they are generous and greedy.

There is still his memorial hall in Suzhou to this day
