Chapter 979: The Magnificent Power of Han (One Hundred and Three)
"Song Liushou, you have to make your position clear!" Tian Jingwen roared at Song Boxuan: "I am a general personally appointed by the eldest son, and I have the right to command the entire Qi army, and that high-ranking officer who is trying to gain nothing is Tang Hou is just a pirate, and now you actually want me to give up Fengyang City!"
Song Boxuan looked at Tian Jingwen coldly. When dealing with bandits like Wei Zhiwen who had no regard for strength or reason, he could only do very little except wipe away the sweat. However, there were many ways to deal with senior officers like Tian Jingwen.
"General Tian, I know what you said is true, but I think you should also understand that the army you commanded against Wang Pei has achieved almost no victory in the past year. Instead, the Wang thieves pressed forward step by step. If it hadn't been for the sudden rise of the Red Scarf Army and the capture of Gaotang, we would have lost even Pinglu. In this war, you and the Marquis of Gaotang had made an appointment to attack Fengyang together, but what on earth did you do? , you know in your heart that if the Red Scarf Army lost troops and generals under Fengyang City, if Tuanfeng hadn’t succeeded in the sneak attack, Wang Thieves would have counterattacked Gaotang City now."
Tian Jingwen's face turned red and white, and he said after a while: "Song Liushou, these red scarf thieves are bold and reckless, so they dare to use strange and dangerous tactics. They are barefoot and not afraid of those wearing shoes, but can I do this?" In the direction of Linzi, General Zou resisted very hard. I have to be cautious here. I will never take any risks without being very sure. I think you should understand this."
Song Bo They cannot open up the situation, but the Red Scarf Army reaches out and solves the problem. This will make them underestimate the strength of the rebels and make them feel that the rebels are nothing."
Tian Jingwen's face changed color slightly: "Song Liushou, what do you mean by this?"
"General Tian, you are a smart man. You don't need to beat the drum hard to ring the drum. Don't you understand what I mean? When I came from Linzi, there was already discussion in the court, saying that since Wang Pei's army is so vulnerable, our Tian Why does the general fail to win despite repeated battles? Instead, he loses his troops and generals? Is there something fishy here?"
Tian Jingwen was furious: "It is extremely shameless to spit blood at others."
Song Boxuan said leisurely: "General Tian, this has nothing to do with me, but you have to be clear that our eldest son does not know anything about military affairs. Although he believes in you, as soon as you come back, he will appoint you as the general. Lian Zou General Zhang Laozhang is subordinate to you, but everyone is talking about it. You have been away fighting for many years and are not with the young master. Can you stand it when someone keeps saying bad things about you in front of the young master? What's more, you are fighting under Tian Fucheng. After a long time, coupled with this incident, people have to have doubts!"
"If I had bad intentions, would we still be in this situation?" Tian Jingwen's face turned purple from holding back, "A good man is fighting outside, but he is deceived by villains. If the eldest son believes these slanders, I have nothing to say."
"The eldest son doesn't believe it now, but he won't believe it in the future. What's more, General Tian is not the only one who can fight under the eldest son!" Song Boxuan said: "As soon as Mr. Bai took action, he reversed the entire situation. Now Tian Fucheng is huddled in a corner of Jimo, and his defeats are already numbered. General Tian, this is the time when the Red Scarf Army has made extraordinary achievements and is hot in front of the eldest son. If you happen to have sex with them at this time, In the conflict, the two sides got into a fight, and the only one who gained was the Second Young Master’s rebels. If someone takes advantage of this and makes a fuss about it, I’m afraid you won’t be able to explain it clearly!”
Tian Jingwen fell silent.
"So, I ask you to withdraw from Fengyang City and hand over this city to the Red Scarf Army. This not only allows you both to resolve suspicions and cooperate sincerely, but also for the sake of you, General Tian!" Song Boxuan said seriously.
Tian Jingwen let out a long sigh, cupped his hands towards Song Boxuan and said, "Thank you for taking care of me, sir. I have offended you a lot before, so please don't take it to heart."
"Where, others don't know, but I know your daring loyalty, General Tian. I don't care about anything else. I only see that Tian Xiangguo is in jail. The conditions negotiated with Gao Yuan are that one of them is to release you and return to the country to take charge of the military. Then That’s enough to prove you, but I, a bare-bones stay-at-home guy, can’t speak well in court now, so I can only analyze some key points for you, General Tian.”
Tian Jingwen sighed again: "Master Song, do you know why I must capture Fengyang and not give it to the Red Scarf Army?"
"I'm also wondering what the reason is!" Song Boxuan asked curiously.
"The Red Scarf Army fought several battles with Wang Pei's troops. I did not send troops to fight because I did not want to use up the strength in my hands. I did have the intention of letting them fight each other so that I could benefit from it. , but in the process, do you know what I discovered?"
"What did you find?" Song Boxuan asked.
"I can see the shadow of the Han army in the fighting style of the Red Scarf Army." Tian Jingwen said solemnly. "They are not as powerful as the Han army, nor do they have the skillful cooperation and skilled individuals of the Han army. Combat skills, but I just feel that their fighting methods are very familiar, and the feeling of deja vu makes me uneasy in the dormitory. The boss also knows that when I was in Langya County, I fought many battles with the Han Army’s Zheng Xiaoyang Division and Zhang Hongyu Division. It was a big battle, a fierce battle, and I am very familiar with their fighting methods. The fighting style of this Red Scarf Army is very similar to theirs."
"Is this just your guess?" Song Boxuan looked at the other party in surprise, "Mr. Bai and others were originally pirates, and their origins are well documented."
"It's because they are pirates!" Tian Jingwen said seriously: "Master, do you know how I came back from Liaoxi? It was sent back by the Han army on a ship, and these people also came from the sea. I am worried, worried that they are the Gaoyuan sect. Come and do it carefully."
"How is this possible!" Song Boxuan shook his head categorically and said: "With the current strength of the Han State, it would be easy to destroy our country. Why bother with so much effort? Jingwen, think about it, if the Han State really wanted to annex our country, he would simply It doesn’t require the strength of the whole country. If Meng Chong’s Southern Field Army in Kunzhou comes with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, can we stop it?”
"I know!" Tian Jingwen said distressedly: "I just can't figure it out! But this Red Scarf Army makes me very uncomfortable. So I don't want them to completely control Gaotang, because if they do this , then they can attack Jimo, but they can also turn around and attack Linzi!"
"General Tian, I think you are worrying too much." Song Boxuan shook his head and said: "The strongest armies in the world may come to the same destination by different routes. This Red Scarf Army is now our regular army in Daqi. You always regard them as thieves in your heart. Naturally, there are some preconceptions, or maybe you left a shadow when you were in western Liaoning, which affected your judgment. Now we can't think too much about anything else. We must first focus on defeating Tian Er's rebels and unify the Qi State. Only then can it be possible to regain control. Let's rally our flag and make a comeback. If this war is delayed for a few more years, without foreign enemies coming to fight, we will drag ourselves down!"
Tian Jingwen clenched his fist, "The boss is right, if this continues, we will drag ourselves down, but I still have some doubts about the Red Scarf Army, but I ask the boss to talk to you when you return to Linzi." Master, tell me about this matter carefully, the Red Scarf Army can be used, but you must be on guard against them."
"Don't worry, I understand. General Tian, now that the matter is over, if your army stays in Gaotang, it will inevitably clash with the Red Turban Army. It's better to withdraw from Gaotang and attack Chengsiwei instead." The headquarters asked the Red Scarf Army to deal with Wang Pei and attack Tian Er's base camp Jimo. I don't think Tian Er's headquarters will let the Red Scarf Army get much benefit. The two groups are fighting to the death, so they are working together. You said earlier that when fishermen and clams fight against each other, the fisherman will gain." Song Boxuan came up with a plan.
"The only plan now is this. Defeat Cheng Siwei first, and then plan how to deal with the Red Scarf Army!" Tian Jingwen pondered for a moment and said. "I and the old general Zou Zhang have joined forces. Although Cheng Siwei is strong, , but also lost less and won more.”
Hearing what Tian Jingwen said, Song Boxuan couldn't help but feel excited, "Tian Er is so powerful because of the power of Wang Pei and Cheng Siwei. If these two thieves are defeated one after another, Tian Er will have nothing to fear. Take back Jimo, Unifying Qi is just around the corner."
"I hope so." Tian Jingwen smiled bitterly, "I would like to ask the hard-working Mr. Song to come and convey the military order for me, so that the Fengyang garrison should evacuate. We will leave Gaotang and go to Linzi."
"General Tian is indeed the pillar of the village who has the overall situation in mind!" Song Boxuan said with a smile.
"I hope that I, a pillar of talent, will not become the sinner of Daqi in the end!" Tian Jingwen shook his head and sighed. Song Boxuan's words are not unreasonable. It is easy to hide from open guns, but hard to guard against hidden arrows. He returned from Liaoxi with disgrace, and then After working under the traitor for a long time, the eldest son's power was shaky before. This position was a hot potato and no one wanted to sit. But now that the situation has reversed and victory is in sight, this position has become very hot. I don't know how many people are eager to take it. Looking forward to his downfall!
The enemy on the opposite side is never the most difficult to deal with, but the hidden arrows fired from one's own camp are the most difficult to defend against.
In Fengyang City, Wei Zhiwen rode into the city shamelessly and arrogantly. On both sides of the city gate, groups of Qi troops were lining up, leaving Fengyang in disgrace and driving into the distance. What saw them off was the constant laughter and laughter of the Red Scarf Army. Sound of disdain.
"Lord Song is indeed amazing!" Wei Zhiwen gave Song Boxuan a thumbs up, "The veteran stepped in, one can stand up to two." He was able to get back to Fengyang City without any effort, and Wei Zhiwen did not hesitate to praise him at this time. .
Song Boxuan laughed a few times: "Song is still of some use, right?"
"Of course, of course, it's not just slightly useful, it's of great use!" Wei Zhiwen said with a smile, "Our Lord Marquis will definitely thank Mr. Song properly this time."
"No need to thank you, but can I, who was left behind in Gaotang, come back and take office?" Song Boxuan asked: "After all, Wang Yan has a shady reputation and a bad reputation, and he can't speak up in the court. If I come back, I believe he will Make the Red Turban Army even more invincible on the battlefield."
"Well, I can't say anything about this, Old Wei. It's up to our Marquis to decide!" Wei Zhiwen said with a dry smile: "The Marquis will come to Fengyang City in a while. You can tell the Marquis in person at that time!" "(To be continued)
