Chapter 1504: Worship General
Hou Jingang and others couldn't help but frown when they heard Ming Ji's words so bluntly, but Chu Huan laughed and asked, "General Ming thinks that Qin State is about to collapse?"
"Duke Chu, you summon us here today, and deliberately let us hear Zhu Lingyue's words. Of course, it would not be useless..." Ming Ji said lightly: "Duke Chu can easily take our lives with just one order. Why do you still summon us here? Ci doesn't control the troops. Duke Chu is a rank-in official who commands tens of thousands of troops. I don't believe that you are a kind and righteous person, but I don't believe that Duke Chu just wants to drink a few glasses of wine with us."
"Oh?" Chu Huan smiled and said, "What does General Ming think of the purpose of this governor?"
"Although the Tianshan Army was defeated in the battle of the horse farm, this does not mean that the Tianshan Army is incompetent." Ming Ji stared into Chu Huan's eyes, "Zhu Lingyue spent countless energy to train an elite Tianshan Legion. Whether it is the infantry of Tianshan or the cavalry of Tianshan, as long as it is time, they are all elite soldiers across the battlefield." He glanced at Hou Jingang and said slowly: "The Tianshan cavalry trained by General Hou is definitely not a mob. Of course, Chu Duke knew this clearly."
Ming Ji has always been silent and it is difficult to say a few words to others, let alone comments on others. At this time, he praised Hou Jingang for his good training. If it were someone else, he wouldn't care. However, this statement came from Ming Ji's mouth, which had always been low-key, but Hou Jingang felt very comfortable. Hou Jingang always disliked the infantry generals, but now he felt that Ming Ji felt comfortable.
Chu Huan nodded and said, "What General Ming said is very true. This governor has never underestimated the Tianshan Army. Moreover, both infantry and cavalry in Tianshan are well-trained. Although they lack experience on the battlefield, they are worthy of being an elite army."
Mingji continued: "Duke Chu is now trembling in the northwest. Once our Tianshan Mountains are defeated, the Duke Chu is already proud of the western border, and there is no enemy, but the Duke Chu will probably not be willing to disband the Tianshan Legion."
Chu Huan laughed and touched her chin. Ming Ji said this today, which was beyond Chu Huan's expectation. He asked with interest: "General Ming thinks that this governor should keep the Tianshan Army?"
Ming Ji asked back: "Don't Chu Du wants it? Looking at the Central Plains, there is no second cavalry legion except for the Liaodong Chili Electric Power Refining, which can beat the Tianshan cavalry. This defeat is not a defeat in war!"
Gu Liangchen couldn't help but nodded at this time and said, "Yes, if it weren't for Gan Hou..." He smiled coldly, but obviously he was not convinced by the defeat in the horse farm, and said directly: "If you really want to talk about it, looking at the world, there is indeed only the Liaodong Iron Cavalry that can compete with my Tianshan Cavalry."
"If Chu Duke did not want to have a powerful cavalry legion, he would not trade salt horses with the people of Xiliang to expand his war horses." Ming Ji said: "In the battle of the horse farm, Chu Duke won a great victory. Tianshan war horses naturally became Chu Duke's possession. However, even if there are tens of thousands of war horses, if there are no cavalry who are good at fighting on horseback, how can he have a powerful cavalry legion? Chu Duke has already started to form a cavalry legion in Xiguan, so he naturally understands that it is not a matter of one day or one night to train cavalry, but for Chu Duke, if he wants to quell the bandit chaos and has to raise troops again at any time, there will be no more time to train cavalry."
Chu Huan laughed and said, "General Ming was so sharp. Since you are so open-minded, I naturally cannot shine. Yes, I have indeed ordered that there were original cavalry in Tianshan. If I am willing to stay, I can exempt his family from labor service and reduce taxes...!" Looking at Hou Jingang, he said seriously: "The Tianshan cavalry trained by General Hou is already a very qualified cavalry. I really don't want to see such a cavalry army disband."
When Hou Jingang heard Chu Huan praise him so much, his expression calmed down, saying, "Hou lived on horses since he was a child and knew the nature of horses, so it was much easier to train."
Sun Can didn't say anything, and finally asked: "General Ming, what do you want to say about this?"
Ming Ji didn't look at Sun Can, but still stared at Chu Huan: "Sun Can, don't you understand. Of course, Chu Duke set up this table of banquets not to take our lives. If I was not wrong, Chu Duke wanted us to stay in the army." He paused and smiled indifferently: "Duke Chu could easily command the Tianshan Army, but it was not something that he could do day and night. If we came forward, of course, it would be easy to make them loyal to Duke Chu."
"Stay in the ranks?" Sun Can glanced at Chu Huan, "Can we stay and serve Chu Huan? Tomorrow, don't forget that in the battle of the horse farm, there were corpses everywhere, and many of our brothers died in his hands. And we were all Zhu Du's hand promoted. Could it be that because Zhu Du was defeated and Chu Huan won, we immediately changed our faces and bowed to Chu Huan? You can do it, but I can't do it."
He was originally a subordinate of Mingji, but at this time he called Mingji Daming, which was obviously very dissatisfied with Mingji.
Chu Huan remained silent. Gu Liangchen and Hou Jingang looked at each other and frowned slightly. Mingji was still in the air and said lightly: "Sun Can, logic is, you are a military general of Qin, not a military general of Zhu Lingyue. Why do you still follow Zhu Lingyue to launch an army to fight? Is it for glory and wealth?"
Sun Can said sternly: "Mingji, scholars can be killed but not humiliated. I followed Zhu to conquer the world because of the tyranny of Qin. I didn't like it. I wanted to help Zhu destroy Qin and give the world peace. What kind of glory and wealth are you really didn't take it seriously."
"No," Ming Ji said in a deep voice: "I know very well that everyone wants to follow Zhu Lingyue to do something big. Qin is tyrannical. If we continue to serve Qin, we will help the evildoer. The people of Xiliang come over. We are watching the Northwest compatriots being tragically ravaged by the Western Liang cavalry. What is this because of the emperor's stupidity and national strength declines, which makes the people of Xiliang have ambitions? We are all men in the northwest, and we are all seven feet tall when we stand up. We are watching our compatriots be destroyed, but we are indifferent in our hearts?"
Hou Jingang and Gu Liangchen couldn't help but show anger at this time.
Chu Huan knew that these people were all military generals and authentic Northwest men with a straightforward temperament. If a literati were present, he would never have said so straightforwardly. But the more he did this, Chu Huan felt more comfortable. He liked to go straight and straightforward temperament.
"I know what everyone thinks. In order to avoid repeating the same mistakes, the stupid Qin State can naturally not stay anymore." Ming Ji said coldly: "So we all know Zhu Lingyue's thoughts and are willing to live and die with him. But he is very ambitious and talented, and he cannot accomplish great things in the end." Looking at Chu Huan, he asked, "Duke Chu, what does the decisive battle in the horse farm mean? Do you know what it means to me?"
Chu Huan said solemnly: "Please give me advice to General Ming!"
"It's just a battle between dragons and tigers, fighting for a spoil." Ming Ji said slowly: "The so-called spoil is to be qualified to command the northwest and compete for the Central Plains!"
Chu Huan was stunned. Ming Ji had already said, "Now that Chu Duke won, you are qualified to lead the people of the northwest to fight for the world... I said this not to be loyal to you, but to tell you that in this civil war in the northwest, countless children in the northwest were killed and injured. Since Chu Du got the spoils, I hope Chu Duke will be worthy of the soldiers who sprinkled blood on the battlefield." Speaking of this, Ming Ji suddenly stood up and bowed to Chu Huan, saying, "If Chu Duke thinks that Ming Ji's words are ruthless, you can beat Ming Ji to a rebel and take him to the execution ground at any time. If you really want to leave Ming Ji a way out, Ming Ji still has dozens of acres of thin fields in his hometown. I am already fifty a hundred, but a handful of old bones can be used to farm for the rest of his life." He turned around, walked straight to the gate, and shouted: "Take me back to the cell!"
"General Ming, please wait!" Chu Huan stood up, "Since the general has the hearts of the world, why should he leave like this?"
Ming Ji didn't look back, but said, "Ming Ji didn't understand cavalry, so it would be useless to stay. However, General Hou and General Gu are both cavalry generals. If they are willing to do a great cause, Chu Du can give them a chance to show their skills. I think they will definitely not be able to accept Chu Du's expectations, and perhaps it is unknown whether they have a reputation in history."
Hou Jingang and Gu Liangchen looked at each other, but saw that Chu Huan had already walked out of the meeting. Suddenly, they knelt down on one knee towards Mingji's back. Hou Jingang and others suddenly changed color. Mingji heard the voice behind him and turned around to see him. He was also surprised. He quickly came over and helped him up, "Duke Chu, you... what are you doing?"
"The old general's heartfelt words were deafening." Chu Huan sighed: "Chu Huan is a little talented and knowledgeable. Compared with Zhu Lingyue, he is at least very talented and talented, but I am absent and unwilling. As today's chaos, people are displaced and thieves are full of thieves. Although I have no ambitions, I also hope that the world will be stable and the people will be peaceful. I only hope that the old general can help me."
Ming Ji helped Chu Huan up and said with a wry smile: "Why should the governor Chu do this? The northwest is full of talents. Chu Zhuan can find many people who can be regarded as great responsibilities. Ming Ji is over fifty years old and wants to be slapped. And he doesn't have much ability, so he is not worthy of such respect from Chu."
"Don't say that in the old general." Chu Huan bowed, turned around and bowed deeply to Hou Jingang and others, and said sincerely: "Several generals, the world is in turmoil, Chu Huan has weak strength and is willing to do something for the people, but his talents are mediocre and difficult to reach. As the saying goes, three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang. Chu Huan, the cobbler, sincerely begs all the generals to help the people together to seek welfare!"
Hou Jingang and others were defeated generals and could be taken to the execution ground at any time. Their families were destroyed and their families were destroyed. I never expected that Chu Huan was so open-minded and wanted to use himself. This was really unexpected. Hou Jingang and Gu Liangchen had already stood up and bowed, looking at each other, but they didn't know what to say.
Suddenly, Sun Can laughed loudly. Everyone looked over, but Sun Can sneered: "Fake false, Hou Jingang, you are becoming really fast, but I can tell you that the young man in front of you is scheming and cunning. Now, in order to control the Tianshan Army, he is so polite to you. He wants to use you more. When the Tianshan Army is completely controlled by him, it will be time to settle the score after crossing the river and destroying the bridge."
