Chapter 131 Are You Contributing More Than They?
The more he listened, the more shocked Zhang Han became.
The people standing behind him were not doing much better either.
How to fight this battle?
Even after exhausting their wisdom and putting the known situation in front of them, he couldn't figure out how to deal with it.
"Is it Captain Guan Ying?" Zhang Han suddenly remembered the bamboo slips he picked up earlier.
"Guan Ying went to Hangu Pass, and another army went to Luoyang." Wang Buxu smiled slightly.
Not to mention Zhang Han, even he felt terrible when such a huge game of chess was laid out.
Well, when I first started, I never expected that I would create such a big game.
"What about the scout headquarters from before?"
"False!" Wang Buxu said bluntly: "How could the scout headquarters be in that place? Besides, don't you think what happened that day was a bit too coincidental? I have already calculated your remaining food and grass, and from your
When you use soil to pretend to be grain, I will know what you are going to do..."
Zhang Han felt as if a hand was holding his heart, and he couldn't breathe.
When Wang Buxu said this, he also felt that the situation that day was indeed a coincidence.
The smoke must have deliberately attracted their attention, and if the scouts had attacked by force that day, they would have definitely defended.
However, the scouts did not attack by force, so they were given time to evacuate calmly.
However, there were only three cavalry left in the village. When their large force arrived, they immediately ran away, leaving traces everywhere.
And scattered important slips on the ground for them to find.
Indeed, it was precisely because of this step that Zhang Han completely lost control over the concealment of food and grass, and most of the 50,000 soldiers fled in an instant.
Fortunately, these 50,000 people were sent out. If they were in the camp, it would be really panic.
But it's useless to talk about this now.
Faced with Wang Buxu's strategic plan, Zhang Han even felt as if he didn't know how to fight at all.
"I wonder how the young master plans to arrange for us?" Zhang Han looked at Wang Buhung. Those previous inquiries were just unwillingness to give up, but now they are the most practical.
"The old, the weak, and those who don't want to join the army, go home and farm. As for the generals, it depends on what contribution you can make!" Wang Buxu smiled slightly.
Zhang Han frowned, this was different from what he imagined.
After all, he has more than 300,000 people under his command. Shouldn't he be comforted and entrusted with important tasks at this time?
"Master, why did you say this?" Zhang Han said with some disappointment.
Isn't it enough to lead more than 300,000 people to surrender? Isn't this contribution enough?
"The people cannot stand without faith! I added another sentence to him, the country cannot be ruled without help!" Wang Buxu directly quoted the Analects of Confucius.
According to the results of the discussion between Zhang Liang and Chen Ping, it was suggested that Wang Buxu directly give Zhang Han a marquis to appease him.
But this suggestion was directly rejected by Wang Buxu, and the reason was not told to them.
It's not out of emotion, it's just that I'm too lazy to say it several times.
"Military regulations are also the law of the country. No promotion without merit, no title without merit. This is my master's military regulations. Let's talk about Zhang Liang. He came to seek refuge soon after I captured Aocang. In the past few months, for
I made dozens of suggestions and plans, and it was Zhang Liang who was personally responsible for setting up the fake scout headquarters, and he is only a military advisor at this time."
"Let's talk about Guan Ying. Ten thousand troops directly took the heads of the enemy generals from the center and took the lead in capturing Xingyang. Such a credit is nothing more than being awarded the title of school captain."
"And Song Yi, who promoted Guan Ying, also wiped out the remnants of Wu Guang's army and captured Xingyang. Now he is just a captain."
"Chen Tieshan followed my master on the day he raised the flag. He was present in every battle thereafter and made countless meritorious service. In this battle, he captured several counties in Yingchuan County, and he was only named the captain."
"Chen Ping even assisted Song Yi in guarding Xingyang, recruiting troops, training, and making plans, but he was nothing more than a county magistrate."
"And he, Zhang Buyi, has grown up with me since childhood. Although he has not made any military exploits, he has trained hundreds of outstanding camp commanders, and now he is just my short-term military commander."
Wang Buxu pointed to the people around him and said those who were coming but not coming one by one.
Then he looked at Zhang Han and asked: "General Zhang, do you think that your contribution to me is greater than theirs?"
"I don't dare!" Zhang Han felt a little panicked and quickly denied it.
As a subordinated general, how could he have the courage to say that his contribution was greater than that of the generals around Wang Buxu?
What Zhang Han doesn't understand the most is that his power is now considered the largest outside the imperial court, right?
Why is it that among these people, the highest official position is only a school lieutenant?
The only flaw is Zhang Buyi, who has no military exploits, but he grew up with Wang Buyi and trained hundreds of village chiefs. This is incomparable. What is a confidant?
Zhang Han had no problem with his mind. Even if he tried to sue Song Yi, Chen Tieshan and Guan Ying, he would not dare to sue Zhang Buyi.
"That's why General Zhang thinks that your more than 300,000 subordinates can fight with this young master!" Wang Buxu looked at Zhang Han calmly.
"No... I dare not..." Zhang Han's mind was a little blank.
If I dare to fight you, if I can beat you, why should I surrender now?
And he also understood the meaning in Wang Buxu's voice.
The brothers who followed him in the war have not yet been knighted, and the highest official position is only a captain, not even a general.
Why do you, Zhang Han, ask for more?
Just because you surrendered with more than 300,000 people?
Is it because I, the king, can no longer lift the knife? Or is your Zhang Han’s head so hard that I can’t chop it off?
Seeing Zhang Han's disappointed and helpless expression, Wang Buxian nodded with satisfaction, his goal was achieved.
So he continued: "Of course, I am not ungrateful. General Zhang has come to seek refuge with me. If he is not even a general, it would seem that I do not value talents too much. But if I directly promise a high position, all my brothers will treat me as such."
How to consider it?”
"Understood! Understood!" Zhang Han nodded repeatedly, and there was nothing else he could do except nod.
"Order one hundred thousand troops yourself and capture Luoyang!" Wang Buxu said softly.
"Huh?" Zhang Han was stunned for a moment and asked me to get Luoyang?
What is this operation?
Immediately, Zhang Han thought of what Wang Buxu had said just now. He had no military exploits, so he shouldn't talk about surrender. He would definitely not be given a high position.
But what if we take Luoyang by ourselves?
Luoyang is not Xingyang. Luoyang is a real big city. It was the former capital of the Zhou royal family and the accompanying capital after the unification of Qin.
All facilities are complete, and Wang Buxu has the right time and place, so as long as he takes Luoyang, he can build a country and a capital at any time, and there is no need to go to war to use the labor of the people, everything is ready-made.
Realizing that Wang Buxu wanted to reward him with military exploits, Zhang Han's depression was instantly wiped away.
