Chapter 257 What are you afraid of! (Ten thousand characters monthly pass)(4/4)
In front of Zhao Haiping, many generals wearing armor were kneeling.
In his hand, there was an edict asking his master to return to the court, and a gold-lettered plaque placed aside.
Seeing that Zhao Haiping, the commander-in-chief, did not speak, these generals became more anxious and tried to persuade him one after another.
"General! Just a few days ago, we just defeated Wan Yansheng's 100,000-strong army! The great victory in Yancheng and the great victory in Zhuxian Town. After successive battles, the Jin soldiers were already frightened. Although they may not be able to attack Huanglong directly if they advance at this time.
, but regaining the old land in the north is already a certainty!"
"Yes, General, do you still remember the scene when the army arrived at Zhuxian Town? The people lined the streets to welcome it. Even the women and children in the town ate pots of soup to welcome the king's army. But General, if you go further north, there
The people are also my people in Daqi!"
"The Jin people have become discouraged. Heroes from Hebei and Hedong have joined forces. The general's ingenious plan to connect Heshuo has worked. If we can't work hard at this time and let the Jin people calm down the rebels in the rear, they can recuperate and then turn south. By then we will
Qi is in danger!"
"General, advance the troops!"
Zhao Haiping's expression was calm. In fact, when he entered the second stage and started playing this identity, he had already expected this scene to happen.
"I have already expressed my opposition to the official decision to deal with the teacher.
"'The Qikaan Jin captives gathered in Tokyo with a large number of troops. After repeated defeats, their spirits were depressed, and they were shocked both inside and outside. After hearing about the spies, the captives wanted to abandon their baggage and rush across the river. Now the heroes are facing the wind, the soldiers are using their lives, the weather and personnel are strong, and the troops are strong.
The weakness has been seen, the success is about to be completed, the time will not come, and the opportunity will be missed easily. I have been familiar with the materials day and night, but Your Majesty has planned it. All these things have been written in the memorial."
The generals hurriedly said: "Then what are you hesitating about, general? It's just an edict, there's no harm in disobeying it once.
"Perhaps the officials will wake up later?"
Zhao Haiping shook his head: "There won't be just one edict."
Sure enough, before he finished speaking, another long shout came from outside the military camp: "Imperial decree..."
The postman came quickly and looked at Zhao Haiping with admiration. However, in his hands, he held a red lacquer gold plaque and an imperial edict. Zhao Haiping instantly understood the content.
"My lord, accept the order."
Zhao Haiping received the imperial edict, and sure enough, there was another strict order ordering him to withdraw his troops immediately and return to the Privy Council for discussion.
Within one day, dozens of imperial edicts and gold-lettered plaques were delivered one after another.
The language in the imperial edict became more and more intense, with words such as "deceiving the emperor" and "treason" appearing frequently.
The expressions of the generals in the army finally turned cold.
An imperial edict can be disobeyed by saying "The general is outside, and the emperor's order will not be respected", but twelve gold-lettered plaques are issued in succession, and the wording is extremely harsh. If you continue to disobey the edict at this time, wouldn't it be tantamount to treason?
No one dared to persuade Zhao Haiping to disobey the decree.
Because everyone knows that the consequences of doing so are too heavy and no one can afford it.
Zhao Haiping waved his hand: "You all should leave, I want to think carefully."
The generals looked at each other with unwilling expressions on their faces, but in the end, they quietly exited the Chinese army's tent.
At this time, only the heroes of General Zhao Haiping and General Deng Yuanjing were left in the huge Chinese army tent.
Zhao Haiping flipped the imperial edict in his hand at random: "It seems... I can only retreat?"
General Deng Yuanjing was silent for a moment: "It seems... there is no other way.
"The troops and horses have not moved yet, but the food and grass go first. The army on this road is not your private army, and the food, grass and baggage all depend on the supplies from the rear.
"If you refuse to obey the edict, it is tantamount to treason. The court can naturally cut off your supply of food and grass. When the time comes, this big army will have to eat horse chews. Where will they find military food?
"Capitalize the people? Or make peace with the Jin people? I'm afraid these are completely unfeasible options.
"When the time comes, the imperial court will issue another edict accusing you of treason, which will cause the morale of the army to collapse, and the other Qi and Jin armies will attack from both sides...
"It will only lead to a more tragic end."
Zhao Haiping sighed silently: "It seems that General Han Fuyue was in the same situation back then.
"It's just that General Han Fuyue at that time did not guess that the Dog Emperor and Qin Huizhi would be so crazy and actually kill him.
"And if I return to the DPRK, although I will have to go to the old land where General Han Fuyue was unjustly killed, this trial illusion should be regarded as a direct pass."
General Deng Yuanjing said nothing.
Back then, he suppressed the bandits in the south and defended the barbarians in the north without a single defeat. But once there were changes in the court, even as a famous general, he could only die in depression.
So he felt helpless in this situation.
This is no longer something that can be solved by the art of war.
However, Zhao Haiping directly threw the edict on the ground and trampled it under his feet.
"At that time, General Han Fuyue did not guess that the Dog Emperor and Qin Huizhi would be so shameless and would kill him unjustly even if they broke political rules. It can only be said that General Han's daring loyalty is even more depressing.
"But if I still follow General Han's old path, how can I comfort his spirit in heaven?
"Even if I fail this trial, I will catch the Dog Emperor and Qin Huizhi and cut them into pieces!"
General Deng Yuanjing was silent for a moment: "But... there is no logistical supplies, there is no military morale available, after all..."
Zhao Haiping looked at him: "General Deng, the situation at this time is different from that of your time.
"In your era, the great dynasty was still prosperous and the world was unified. Even if you were a famous general at that time, it would be impossible to go against the will of heaven.
"But this time is different.
"Because before that, there was a living example."
General Deng Yuanjing was a little stunned: "Who?"
Zhao Haiping said coldly: "The founding emperor of the Jin people, Jin Taizu!
"The Jin people raised an army with only 2,500 cavalry, but in just ten years, they were able to attack everything and defeat them. They beat two behemoths to the ground and achieved countless mythical achievements.
"Indeed, if I refuse to obey the order at this time, the army will inevitably fall apart and the imperial court will cut off my food and salary.
"But so what? Even if there are only 2,500 people left to follow me, so what?"
"Why do I have to consider the mass base, logistics supplies, political situation, and troop strength when I fight a war, while the Jin people can rush forward without logistics, territory, or popular support to complete the great cause of conquering the world?
"Don't the Jin people need to face logistical problems? Can they march by drinking the wind and eat by digging in the soil? They can fight how they want?
“If the problem can’t trap them, why can it trap me?
"Is it possible that the Jin people who slaughtered the city at every turn were destined to die? And I have built a powerful army that can transcend generations and "will not tear down houses to death, starve to death without plundering", is it because God is not blessing me?
"What's more, what about the elite Jin people who are said to be 'invincible'?
"It's just my defeated general! He was beaten until he was running away with his head in his arms!
"The Dog Emperor wants to collude with the Jin people to harm me?
"Oh, I should give him a message.
"I am the reincarnation of General Han Fuyue, and I am assisted by General Deng. The Golden Man and the Dog Emperor are just a bunch of clowns...
"You all come together, I have nothing to fear!"
