Chapter 1178: Judgment
When Shi Zhuang received the 800-mile emergency report from Chen Changping, he was taking a group of personal guards around him to give morning classes. Although it was the twelfth month of winter, the big men of Angzang were all naked, and they were full of white breath, as if they were ordinary gods descending to earth.
When Zheng Wenjun walked in with the official document, Shi Zhuang was playing with the stone lock. The stone lock that was dozens of kilograms was like a toy in Shi Zhuang's hand, flying up and down, causing a group of personal soldiers around to cheer loudly.
Seeing Zheng Wenjun, Shi's thick and thick arm suddenly pushed upwards, and the stone lock that was parked on his arm flew up. With a push of his hand, the stone lock flew steadily towards Shi Ping beside him. Shi Ping shouted loudly and steadily stole the horse. He held his hands in the direction of the stone lock flying, and he was already steadily in his hand.
Eighteen-year-old Shi Ping is now one head taller than his father, and his strong muscles are no less than Shi Zhuang.
Facing a group of big men, Zheng Wenjun didn't even raise his eyelids, and walked straight to Shi Zhuang and whispered: "General Chen Changping's urgent document."
Shi Zhuang took the official document sealed by the fire lacquer, pulled it apart with a slight slight stroke, and looked through it quickly, but his face became serious. He returned the official document to Zheng Wenjun, walked back and forth a few times, suddenly stopped, and said, "You go and notify Governor Qian, and I will come to him to discuss matters."
Zheng Wenjun nodded and turned around to go, but Shi Zhuang called her again and said with a smile: "Tell Governor Qian, where will I go to him for breakfast? Last time he gave me fermented glutinous rice dumplings, and prepared a plate of them."
Zheng Wenjun smiled on her face: "Do you need to prepare wine?"
"That won't be done." Shi Zhuang shook his head and said, "This time, it's a bit big!"
Zheng Wenjun was stunned at first, then hurried away with a little nervousness.
If Shi Zhuang said that something is a bit big, it would be a big deal.
Shi Zhuang turned around and clapped his hands. A group of men who were still dancing with swords and sticks stopped immediately. With a shout, they stood in front of Shi Zhuang in a neat row of several rows.
"To this end today, Shi Ping informed all generals in Yueyang that from now on, the entire army will enter the highest level of preparation for war." Shi Zhuang said.
"Are you going to fight?" Not only Shi Ping, but everyone present had a look of surprise on their faces.
Shi Zhuang patted his naked chest muscles and smiled and said, "I have gained weight and my muscles are a little loose. It's time to move."
After Shi Zhuang finished washing up and brought several personal guards straight to the Governor's Office, Hunan Governor Qian Biao had already prepared a sumptuous breakfast to wait.
It sounds like breakfast, but there are more than a dozen of them on the table. Two large plates of fermented glutinous rice glutinous rice that Shi Zhuang named.
Shi Zhuang sat down honestly and unceremoniously and chewed the case, chuckling while eating, "Director Qian, if the inspectors in Chang'an see this breakfast between us, they would be heartbroken and sad to write a memorial to say that we are extremely extravagant."
Qian Biao also laughed: "If everything is as follows these guys say, then can we still survive? We have no corruption and no exploitation. We are all our own salary income. If we have the conditions to eat well and dress well, why not eat well and dress well? If we don't eat or use it, how can those who sell grain and vegetables make money? Could it be that we can hide all the money at home and wear hemp clothes every day and eat coarse grains, so that the people can live a better life?"
"It's right!" Shi Zhuang smiled and said, "Those censors have no experience as officials in the local area. Most of them are the kind of people who read books and read them. However, it is precisely because of these people who believe in the truth that they can play a warning role, right?"
"That's right." Qian Biao nodded and said, "But Wu Jin is not at all circumspect and very smart."
"This guy is playing a long line to catch big fish." Shi Zhuang said: "This guy is holding his big move. Although the supervision committee under his control seems to be constantly attacking the grassroots level, as long as he exerts his strength, he will be shocked."
Qian Biao laughed, let alone, after Wu Jin took office as vice chairman of the Supervisory Committee, it was really like a thorn on his back for them.
It’s a helpless thing to say. As an official, you have to say that there is no problem with them. You are selfless. This is simply a day of heaven. As a local official, you don’t know how many people and things you have involved in every move. Sometimes it’s really involuntary. The only thing they can do is not to put it in their own pockets. But sometimes, is it okay if you don’t put it in your own pocket?
When the water is clear, there will be no fish, and when the person is careful, there will be no disciples.
Ordinary people talk about black and white, right and wrong.
But for people like them, there is another area between black and white, right and wrong, which is just something that cannot be explained.
"What kind of official duties does the general come here today?" Qian Biao asked with a smile.
"Have your daughter-in-law breathed you out?" Shi Zhuang finished drinking the porridge in the bowl in one breath, took a steamed bun and asked.
"She only said that Chen Changping had an urgent official document." Qian Biao said.
"Lu Yuan from Shuangjiangkou suddenly led 5,000 Hunan cavalry to run away." Shi Zhuang and his two men finished eating a steamed bun, clapped their hands, and looked at Qian Biao and said, "While Chen Changping sent troops to occupy Shuangjiangkou, he sent me an emergency document."
Qian Biao was stunned: "Why does this matter sound strange? Lu Yuan is an old brother of Hunan veteran Ding Taiyi. When he ran, he tore a big hole in the Yiyang defense line, which was equivalent to handing over Yiyang to us. Where did it come from? I dare not believe it because this old guy betrayed Ding Taiyi."
"I naturally have something to ask for when I give us this big gift." Shi Zhuang let out a sigh: "Do you still remember the letter that Ren Dagou wrote to me that I told you a month ago?"
Although Qian Biao has now been transferred to a civil servant, he has been in charge of soldiers for half his life. When he heard this, he immediately understood: "Their target is Ren Dagou's 10,000 Right Niu Guards. However, with the people and horses in Xiangtan, plus Lu Yuan's five thousand cavalry, he can swallow Ren Dagou in one bite? If Ren Dagou is so useless, he would have become Ren Dagou long ago."
"Yes, why?" Shi Zhuang looked at Qian Biao.
"Unless they have other backup!" Qian Biao knocked on the table, looked at Qian Biao thoughtfully, and looked at him for a while before asking tentatively: "Liu Xinda?"
Shi Zhuang nodded heavily.
"It is very likely that Liu Xinda colluded with them." Shi Zhuang said: "If it weren't for this, it would be difficult to explain the enemy's actions. And what I am more worried about is the Jiangxi side."
"Isn't the intelligence showing that there is an internal strife in Jiangxi? They still have the energy to take care of Hunan?" Qian Biaoqi said.
"Governor Qian, if only the Xiangtan troops and Liu Xinda were added, it would be possible to eat Ren Dagou, but would Yu Xiaowen's troops watch Ren Dagou be eaten? So there must be a force to exist as reinforcements to attack Yu Xiaowen. Where did this troops come from? It can only be Jiangxi. How many Jiangxi soldiers are needed to block Yu Xiaowen's 10,000 troops? At least it is possible to double it."
Qian Biao deeply agrees.
"So, this action against Ren Dagou is actually a joint work by Jiangxi and Hunan!"
"There is also Lingnan." Shi Zhuang said: "Don't forget that Jiangxi now has a Lingnan army, and no one in Jiangxi and Hunan is capable of completing this operation. This requires this person to have a high status, popularity and courage."
"For Yiyang as the price, exchange for the elimination of Ren Dagou?" Qian Biao shook his head and said, "This is not very understandable."
"Of course it's not just Ren Dagou." Shi Zhuang narrowed his eyes, "If it was me who was operating this matter, then Ren Dagou would be just an introduction. My goal must be the entire Right Qianniu Guard."
Qian Biao immediately sat upright.
"Think about it, the Right Qianniu Guard has a total of 35,000 units, controlling the entire Eyue and Jiujiang, Jiangxi and other areas. Now the troops are already very dispersed." Shi Zhuang said: "Ren Xiaonian is now in the Xiangtan area, Yu Xiaowen is still in Jiujiang, and Li Mi's central army is still in Ezhou."
Dipped his fingers into tea, Shi Zhuang casually drew out the current military deployment of the Right Qianniu Guard on the table.
"Ren Dagou jumped into the trap, Yu Xiaowen must have all his strength to rescue, and Li Mi will definitely go out as Yu Xiaowen's follow-up unit. Then, if I have the absolute certainty to take Ren Xiaonian within a certain period of time, and then gather all the troops to counterattack Yu Xiaowen, what do you think the result is?"
"Yu Xiaowen is likely to suffer too!" Qian Biao said solemnly.
"Yes, Yu Xiaowen will suffer too, and then there will be only 15,000 Li Mi's central army left in the entire Right Qianniu Guard." Shi Zhuang poked his finger heavily, "At this time, the Southern Alliance will do its best to attack E Yue, can Li Mi defend it? Once it cannot be defended, E Shu lost it. So what if we take Yiyang? The opponent took E Yue again and killed one of our guards. From a strategic perspective, they have won a great victory. All our efforts over the past year have been in vain, and everything has returned to the starting point of a year ago."
"so?"
"So, we are going to do a big vote." Shi Zhuang said: "I want to be a big dog in Yiyang, even Ren Dagou can't make him a dead dog. He must be taken out of this Hall of Hell."
"Did you mean to mobilize the whole person?" Qian Biao was a little surprised: "But we did not receive a notice from the Supreme Committee, and the Military Commission did not issue an order. Before, the Central Committee was not prepared to have a full-scale conflict with the South at this time. Moreover, the General, all this is based on your personal judgment."
