Chapter 72 Power (6)

"I understand General Ji's idea very well.∮At the time when our army won consecutive battles, General Ji did not feel arrogant; not only did not ignore our weaknesses, but could also face the strength of the enemy, which was the style of a famous general. It was the blessing of our army to have a pillar minister like General Ji." Zhang Bin bowed to Ji Bao and praised him for a few words first. These words were obvious clichés when they said this, but Zhang Bin said this naturally and sincerely, which immediately dissipated Ji Bao's anger.

When the atmosphere eased, Zhang Bin changed his words again: "The difference between me and General Ji is actually in the perspective of consideration. The King of Donghai, Lu Daoming, the Great Jin Centre, and the Huns and Han Kingdoms have their own reliances, but in my opinion, they are indeed some native chickens and tile dogs, which can be destroyed in one battle." While speaking, Zhang Bin walked safely under the generals, and the sun shone in from the shade of the trees and fell on his face, making him feel more confident: "Why do you do this? Please wait for me to analyze it slowly."

"The generals started from a cold and traversed the Central Plains and Hebei for several years, and were invincible. So they can now leverage the world's strength; however, the difficulties and dangers they encountered are really hard to write. I believe that you have a deep understanding of this. Unfortunately, Zhang Bin is just a scholar without any power and has never really been on the battlefield, so sometimes you will wonder, when the two armies fight, life and death depend on one blow, what are you thinking in your heart?"

While the generals were thinking, someone shouted: "If you don't think about anything, you just want to kill all the enemies. Only by killing them can we survive."

The person who spoke was Zhixiong, who had just arrived from another camp. Due to the muddy road, there was a layer of dust on his face. There were several deep and shallow wounds under the soil, which were obviously the result of a hand-to-hand combat in person recently. The purple-red blood scabs and stubble-pulled beards mixed together, covering most of his face, but Zhixiong himself seemed to be dissatisfied.

Among Shi Le's confidant generals, Zhi Xiong is definitely the one who is crazy about war, so many people think that his mind is too simple. Unexpectedly, Zhang Bin nodded repeatedly and even applauded and praised Zhi Xiong's opinion: "Okay! It's true! It should be like this!"

"You are all generals who have experienced many battles. You should know that the war is a major matter of life and death. Once the two armies fight, they must seek victory wholeheartedly, and other things cannot be considered. Since the generals raised their troops, they have been able to win repeatedly because they are determined to win and have no selfish thoughts. As for the prestige of our army now, it is the general trend and the will of heaven, and it is not what you consider when commanding the war. As the ancients said, because it is selfless, it can be selfish... And the King of Donghai, Lu Daoming, the Great Jin Central, the Huns and the Han Kingdom, etc., just cannot do this. This is the focus of our plan and the key to our victory."

The generals looked at each other and all had a sense of unfathomableness. Zhang Yuejin asked one step forward: "What does Mr. Meng Sun mean?"

"The Great Jin court originated from usurping the rebellion, and the entire dynasty was filled with despicable and greedy blood. Since the beginning of the founding of the country, the minds of those high-ranking officials of the aristocratic clans were filled with intrigues and fighting each other; they were accustomed to betraying for their own selfish interests. To this day, these people are still hard to change their nature, just like... hehe... dogs can't change their shit." Zhang Yao, the father of Zhang Bin, was originally the prefect of Zhongshan, and the Zhang family was also a big clan in Jizhou. Speaking of which, Zhang Bin himself was also a scholar, but when he mentioned the Great Jin genius, he suddenly became a little angry and cursed a few words.

He sneered a few more times before continuing: "It can even be said that these people are more humble than dogs. At least they will not kill each other, nor will they eat up dead companions. What about these people? They are accustomed to devouring their companions' bodies to feed themselves. Even at the storm of life and death in the Great Jin court, what about them first thinking is not how to save the situation, but how to invade the interests of their companions and seek benefits for themselves in such a situation. This is true for the King of Donghai, Lu Daoming, the Central Jin Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty of the Huns. If we can see clearly what they want and sort out the context, we can crush them all into powder with just a light kick."

"Let's talk about Sima Yue, the King of Donghai. This man has always been looking forward and is good at calculating gains and losses without the courage to fight. You must be very clear about this. If not, he would not have lost hundreds of thousands of troops and fell to the point of trapping in the empty city. A few days ago, when our army and the Youji coalition were fighting in Wating, this guy was watching the success or failure in Juancheng. It shows that he only hoped to use the Youji coalition forces to save the Shufu, but he still had no determination to fight to the death. However, our army has stopped fighting in the past few days and stopped the large-scale battle with the Youji coalition forces... Sima Yue and his ministers will find that the Youji coalition forces, which originally had high hopes, could not rescue them, and the direction of our army's combat may turn to Juancheng again. What will happen to them?"

"Once the last hope in a desperate situation is lost, they will be disappointed, angry, and terrified. The two generals Hu Yanmo and Guo Heiliu faced Juancheng, which will give them another huge threat. With the low morale of the Juancheng defenders, I can assert that when our army appeared near Juancheng, the top-down collapse of the King of Donghai shogunate would begin. After that, the actions of Donghai would be unknown. For the Sima clan king, what are the lives of the 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Juancheng? His personal safety and future power and status

, it is necessary to do its best to ensure it. Therefore, Sima Yue will immediately abandon the city and flee, and he will definitely choose the right path to escape...that is here." Zhang Bin asked a servant to spread the map and point out the mountains and rivers on the map: "Go out of Juancheng, go west along the river to Xiancheng, then cross the Huzi River, pass Puyang, and finally arrive at Baima. This is one of the two avenues from Juancheng to Baima, and it is also a farther away from our army's activity area. For Sima Yue, this road is the safest and fastest."

The generals silently pondered Zhang Bin’s words, and some people looked forward and pondered. Zhang Yue raised a question: “Or, he could also go east and go to Qingzhou Gou Xi.”

"At the beginning of the year, Sima Yue followed Pan Tao's plan to move Gou Xi to the governor of Qingzhou and led Yanzhou himself. The two sides had a feud. If he fled to Gou Xi's hands, he would not talk about his power and status, but he was afraid that his life would be difficult to protect."

After a while, all the generals said, "It's reasonable."

"When Sima Yue embarked on the road of escape, what would happen to his son-in-law Lu Daoming?" Zhang Bin asked again, and then asked and answered himself: "Lu Daoming stood up as a defeated army, and within two years he sat in a powerful square town with tens of thousands of troops, which was very similar to ordinary people. This man is so bold and courageous, good at ease to scrupulous soldiers; he destroys the front and falls into battle, and has the courage of thousands of men. He originally led the people of Youzhou, and he was both the leader of Hu Han and is brave. Now he has joined forces with the soldiers and horses of Jizhou, and his reputation is more than that of the previous period. In this way, he is really a rare enemy of our army. To say an offensive word, even if the general is wise and brave, if he fights against the Lu Daoming army, the victory or defeat is unpredictable."

Shi Le nodded calmly: "Not bad."

"However, if you carefully analyze what Lu Daoming has done over the past few years, you will find that he has already exposed the fatal problem to us. What is the problem? It is because he cannot escape the habit of high-ranking officials of the Jin Dynasty. Although his status is getting higher and his strength is getting stronger, he is increasingly lacking in a simple attitude of defeating the attack. Today, Lu Daoming takes his own selfishness as the purpose of his actions, and whether it is conducive to political infighting is the criterion for his judgment!"

This has been very busy for a while, but I promised the editor to make more updates. Sometimes I have to be a 2KK party. Don’t blame me.
