Chapter 7 Inhumane 5

Liu Jaozhi sighed and then said, "Now there are only a few people, including me and Wuji, who are second to Xie Yan's generals in the north. Therefore, what Sun Wu finally expected was that I could become a minister in the imperial court. With friends listed in the dynasty, Sun Wusheng can retreat at ease without worries.

"So it is."

"Sun Wuzhong doesn't want to interfere too much in military affairs, but he esteems your talent very much. First, I hope you can make achievements in our army without ruining your personal career, which is his love for you; second, I hope you can help me make more military achievements and help me reach a high level. In this way, we can gain a foothold in the court with war achievements and prestige like Xie Yan.

"There are a lot of talents under the general's account. How can I be so favored by the two generals? I asked.

Liulaozhi smiled and said, "I, Liulaozhi, am also a person who knows people. You Liu Ji... Liu Jinu?"

Hearing what he called my nickname, I nodded with a smile: "Yes, it's a slave."

"You Liu Jinu are not an ordinary person. Sun Wu can finally raise you to the position of Sima from the soldiers. Naturally, he is not blind and blind. At first, I thought you were just a general, but for months, I have been coldly looking at your staff and governing the army, and I have long decided that you are an ordinary general and a handsome talent. As you said, there are indeed many capable people under my account, but they are only good generals at best. If you are handsome and talented, except for Sima, you are Liu Jinu. In my opinion, you are better than Sima. What I need is a right-hand man like you. Do you understand?"

"In this way, I understand the painstaking efforts of you and General Sun. The two generals value me so much that I will do my best."

After listening to Liu's words, I completely figured out the question that had haunted me for a long time: I guessed that there was a far more important task than conquering Sun En in the army of Liu prison, but I didn't expect that this task was so heavy and far away. Maybe I will make a major change for the rest of my life to accept such a task. As for what kind of change, it is difficult for me to estimate now.

"Well, that's good." Liulaozhi was relieved when he saw that I understood the powerful relationship.

"Now General Xie Yan has passed away and is vacant in the court. If you can compete with the general, Huan will wait for you.

"And Sun Wuyu." Liu Jianzhi added, "How do you know that the court will not promote a general without fighting spirit because of my limelight? Don't get me wrong. I'm not suspicious of what I said.

"I understand." Hearing Liu Laozhi's words, I feel that the political whirlpool in the current court is indeed not to be underestimated. Many ministers who govern martial arts have fallen into difficulties and even lost their power and lives because of one careless move. In just a few years from the general of Beifu to a warlord and a prince, Liu Laozhi actually had such thoughts, which can be regarded as a well-informed figure.

"Of course I am happy that Sun Wu can finally enter Jiankang. But as you know, Endless is not the kind of person who is good at politics. He was brave and invincible in the battlefield, but he was neither capable nor ambitious to deal with the ministers in the court. In today's discussion, my son-in-law's elegant capital is unwilling to attack the city, precisely because they want to maintain their strength. So you proposed that I attack the city. Although I should accept it, I'm afraid that once my strength is damaged, I will be controlled by others in the future.

I thought for a moment and said, "The general's consideration is indeed true, but general, if no one wants to make this head, the four armies will still divide troops to attack the city as usual, can Huiji City be captured? The siege without rules will only damage the soldiers and generals, and the four armies will be damaged. But if the harassment of the outside world is cleared and the city is attacked with all its strength, isn't it more likely to win? Even if you can't attack for a long time, or lose, Sun Wuji, elegant and other your arms will naturally not sit idly by.

"Hmm. That's right.

"If these two lose their guerrillas, our army can naturally divide their troops to support them. In this way, isn't it more likely to win than Huan's talent?

"The two evils are less powerful!"

"Exact. Moreover, if the failure of the siege caused four generals to be severely damaged, wouldn't other generals in Beifu and other states and counties benefit fishermen by sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger fight? Once the siege is successful, General, you will be the first achievement. Even if the court does not promote you to other generals, I'm afraid there is not enough reason to convince others.

With this explanation, Liu Jaozhi suddenly became cheerful: "That's right."

He happily knocked down on the table with his fingers and said to me, "Deyu, pass the order. Notice immediately and urge the battalions to hand over to the besieged troops. The affairs of the siege must be comprehensive and not careless. I sit in the east of the city by myself. You can supervise the siege in the south, and then send Sima and a member of the army to supervise the west and north respectively.

"Order." I promised and was ready to pay the bill.

Liu Jaozhi called me back and said, "You see, each siege army is divided into two teams, one full-time attack and one full-time gimmo attack. How about it?"

"The general's main attack and tack are...?"

"Our military has been consumed too much. It's better to make the east attack alone and the other three sides tack. The main attacker uses elite and mascuous attackers to wave flags and shout with weakness. On the second day, the main attack in the north and the other three chucks. The daily changes must make Sun En dizzy. Haha."

This is indeed a good tactic. That's what the so-called east and west are. Every side of the siege will attack the city with all its strength, and the enemy will also defend on every side. If the voice strikes from east to west, the human and material resources to defend the city will inevitably not be allocated. In this way, a good opportunity to break through will be found.

Compared with the attacking side, the defending side has countless advantages. But the defenders of the city have the biggest disadvantage, which is also a fatal disadvantage - that is, the probability. Even if the defense of the city is hundreds of times, as long as it fails once, it will be a complete defeat. On the contrary, the repeated attacks of the siege are repeatedly defeated, but as long as you win once, you will be successful.

Generals who are good at attacking the city are very good at taking advantage of this. They do not seek to achieve practical results by attacking the city once or twice, but pursue to test the weaknesses of the defenders in the siege again and again, and fight down after finding the opportunity.

Liu prison changed his previous actions of attacking the city on all sides, which shows that he is indeed a good general who is good at fighting.

"This is a wonderful plan!" I very much agree with this.

At night, I walked out of the camp and walked to the edge of the camp and looked at the Huiji City with windbreak lanterns hanging high on the wall. I couldn't help thinking about it.

Today's talk with Liu Jaozhi is not much about military, but not much about politics. Everyone's political understanding is different, and there are many people who have not been enlightened all their lives.

Although I am in the army and far away from officialdom, I always have my own understanding of politics. This understanding comes from a lower-class people's understanding of a miserable life and a people's understanding of officialdom. Those officials and scholars think they can penetrate the officialdom, the court, the state and county, and the civilians, but they often put themselves into an eternal abyss.

Today, people generally agree with the existence of robbery. Whether you believe in the Buddha or the heavenly master, they all believe that disaster is the source of hope. If you think that the next world is a disaster or that the world is a disaster, you don't want to get rid of this disaster. With such a disaster, people will become more dependent, tend to hand over their fate to others, and become more drifting with the tide.

There are only a few people who don't believe in ghosts and gods, and I am one of them. Perhaps it is because I don't believe in ghosts that I am more fearless than others.

Liu Jaozhi, Sun Wuzhong and others, with the court above and civilians below, have always been in the gap between the court and civilians, in a dilemma. Sometimes they have to be involved in various political whirlpools, but they can't extricate themselves. The people on the temple are originally in the whirlpool, let alone be spared; ordinary people, whether they are in the whirlpool or not, can't be independent, not to mention his affairs.

Of course, I have been involved in the knowable or unknown whirlpool for a long time. Whether I can get out of it or not is beyond my decision at all. In many things, although I am an active participant, I am also a negative bystander in terms of will, because I feel that no whirlpool seems to have anything to do with me.

Although I followed the wave, I didn't drift away. I'm just doing my job with my colleagues and living my own work with my family.
