Chapter 3 The Situation in Western Hunan (2)
Chapter 3 Situation in western Hunan (2)
After hearing this, Huang Degong couldn't help but snorted coldly. He thought that Miao Manzi repeatedly rebelled and rebelled repeatedly, which was really hateful. He was both treacherous and scheming, and could not believe any of his words at all. As a qualified general, he should be vigilant enough against a person who might become an enemy, rather than pushing the blame on his opponent afterwards. Zuo Liangyu didn't know, but his deputy general Zheng Nansheng was a great mediocre. He was about to ridicule a few words, but was interrupted by Huang Zongxi.
"The Miao people deliberately rebelled. Although General Zuo and General Zheng were negligent in preventing the situation, it was not the time to hold them accountable. The emperor gave the official full power to deal with Miao affairs. Now that the Miao people have rebelled, the court may immediately send a large army to quell the rebellion. No matter who is the head coach, the more than 40,000 troops under General Zuo and General Zheng will be the main force to quell the rebellion."
Huang Zongxi's words won the nods of Huang Degong and Zheng Nansheng. Huang Degong had disagreed with Xiong Tingbi's orders to obey a teenager. However, Huang Zongxi's reputation is beyond the reputation of a child prodigy and has been appreciated by the emperor. He has entered the house before he can get the crown. In the future, he will be unlimited. Huang Degong was depressed in the Beijing camp for several years, and finally figured out a truth. No matter how great your ability is, no one in the court will be.
As an official, he was willing to obey Huang Zongxi, but in fact he wanted to get along with the line of Huang Zunsu. However, it seems that Huang Zongxi did not rely on his father Yu Yin to achieve what he has today at a young age, but was also real talent and knowledgeable. The demeanor, eyes, and far-sighted analysis just now, although it was just a brief beginning, it already shows that Huang Zongxi is not simple, so he put away his contempt and listened carefully to Huang Zongxi.
Zheng Nansheng, who was beside him, heard Huang Degong's cold snorting, and a hint of panic flashed in his eyes. In fact, he was secretly worried. The court was indeed full of talents and sent someone to come down. Regardless of whether it was a demeanor or aware, he heard that it was trained by the emperor himself. Wouldn't the emperor himself be even more powerful? As he thought about it, Zheng Nansheng felt a trembling heart and his thoughts had already run away.
"At present, we must first stabilize the situation and never let the rebels spread. What the emperor wants is a stable and peaceful Huguang, not a Huguang with beacons everywhere. If so, why should the emperor send a large army to recover this land at this time? Wouldn't it be better to let Wei Zhongxian in Nanjing get a headache?"
"Mr. Huang is right, but Miao Manzi's harassing tactics are really troublesome." Zheng Nansheng said with a bitter face.
"Zong Xi came first, so he asked General Zheng to explain to me and General Huang carefully what tactics the Miao people used to make General Zheng so distressed?" Huang Zongxi was a civil servant. When he was in the residence, he was influenced by Xiong Zhaolian and others. He also studied many books such as military. He had read the "Cheying Knock" written by Sun Chengzong and Qi Jiguang's "Military Training Documents". He was particularly familiar with the book "A Thoughts on Tactics" written by Zhu Yinglong himself. He had done some superficial research on the various novel tactics proposed in it, and gradually became a little interested in military.
Zheng Nansheng described the guerrilla tactics that made the army suffer for a lot of hardships to Huang Zongxi and Huang Degong. As many military strategists said, guerrilla tactics have existed in ancient times, but few military officials raised it to the level of tactical tactics, believing that this kind of tactics cannot play a decisive role. In ancient times, wars were usually very fast, and it was rare to attack a city for half a year or more. Once defeated, one side had already destroyed the country and it was difficult to organize decent resistance. Therefore, guerrilla warfare was highly despised, especially generals from professional or aristocratic families, who were arrogant and commanded the battles of thousands or tens of thousands of people. Guerrilla warfare was simply sneering. Where did it take it?
Huang Degong is different. He is the kind of civilian general who is struggling step by step. He has taken ten people to hundreds and thousands of people. So when he heard Zheng Nansheng’s harassment tactics, his eyes immediately lit up when he heard Zheng Nansheng’s words. A general and a singer and a dancer. What he most hopes is to find a soulmate and an opponent. The soulmate can speak freely and discuss and communicate, while the opponent can always keep himself awake, constantly motivate and spur himself, and climb one peak after another. Undoubtedly, Huang Degong regards Wu Heimiao as an opponent in his heart.
Of course, for a master like Zheng Nansheng who shirked responsibility, he naturally used the most likely words to express the cunning and treacherous Miao people in the description process, just as if he had experienced his own experience in every battle. Huang Zongxi, who deliberately kept his emotions, frowned after hearing this, while Huang Degong did not mind showing his shame to Zheng Nansheng at all. He even looked at the perseverance and tenacious green grass in the gaps outside the corners. He felt that Zheng Nansheng was not even as good as such a grass.
Is Zheng Nansheng really such a person? Obviously not. Otherwise, with Zhu Xieyuan's skill, he would not have chosen such a mediocre talent to serve as the general of Yidu. Zheng Nansheng did not want to participate in the court's suppression of rebellion in Huguang. He came to inquire about the strength of the court and see the strength of the court, so he would report to Zhu Xieyuan and the King of Shu in Sichuan. Therefore, he would never do anything to deplete his strength, and would also confuse the court. His idea was good. Huang Zongxi and Huang Degong did not realize that Zheng Nansheng was actually in this mind. One was too young and had too little experience, and the other was idle for too long and lacked political vision. Naturally, he was deceived by the seemingly mediocre Zheng Nansheng in front of him.
"I heard that there is a powerful general who is a thief under General Zuo Liangyu?" Huang Degong asked withdrew his gaze from the grass.
Zheng Nansheng skipped a beat and thought to himself, Huang Degong had just arrived, how could he know Cao Hu? He hurriedly smiled and said, "General Huang asked Cao Hu, Mr. Cao Qian?"
Huang Zongxi also showed a confused look. Why did Huang Degong actually ask about Mr. Qian? Based on Huang Zongxi's understanding of Huang Degong on the road, Mr. Huang Degong is also a person with a high opinion of himself. He is more respectful than the sky on weekdays, so how could he be interested in Mr. Qian who is several levels younger than him?
"That's right, I don't know if this Cao Qian is here. Huang wants to see him." Huang Degong said, why is Huang Degong interested in Cao Hu? He mentioned Cao Hu many times in Zheng Nansheng's description. He wanted to find Cao Hu to learn about his opponent directly, rather than the "reality" that Zheng Nansheng said.
"This, General Huang, Cao Hu, General Cao Qian is no longer in Yuanling City." Zheng Nansheng did not mean to conceal the truth. Anyway, there was nothing to say, and he was not afraid that Huang Degong would say that he would take revenge on his public order. However, Cao Hu did not obey the general's order and contradict his superiors. He was accused of being a big deal. In this way, wouldn't he show his incompetence? No matter what major matter is, he would be unfair. This is what he wanted to achieve.
