Chapter 775
Although Gu Hui, Zhang Yun and others were not as anxious as Lu Kang, they looked at each other. They didn't expect Sun Ce to be so ridiculous that they actually let Shen You, who had no combat experience, take charge of the war. Isn't this a joke, not only to joke about Sun Ce's own future, but also to joke about the future of their families. When Sun Ce was defeated, he still had to withdraw, rest for a while, replenish his troops, and make a comeback. But what should they do? Xu Gong will definitely deal with them.
Faced with Lu Kang's anxiety and the doubts of Gu Hui and others, Sun Ce was not angry at all. He knew that caring would be chaotic. Lu Kang was really thinking about him and did not want him to be frustrated, otherwise he would not risk being retaliated by Xu Gong to come out of the city to support him. He stood up and walked to Lu Kang, grabbed Lu Kang's arm with one hand, and pressed Lu Kang's shoulder with the other, indicating that he would take his seat and stay calm.
Lu Kang breathed a sigh of relief and was almost begging Sun Ce. "General, this matter is really not a joke. You should go and command the war first. Although Shen You is smart, he has no combat experience after all. If an accident occurs and cannot respond, what should you do?"
Chen Heng agreed repeatedly. Among the people here, he opposed Sun Ce's actions the most. If he failed, wouldn't this responsibility be Shen You's?
"Don't worry, Mr. Lu, I know it in my heart."
Lu Kang's eyes were red. "I can't relieve myself. How can you relieve me?"
Sun Ce blinked, looked around, and said slowly: "As far as you know, does Xu Gong have the experience of commanding thousands of troops to fight?"
Everyone was slightly stunned and looked at each other. The originally nervous expression was a little relaxed. As far as they knew, Xu Gong had been the commander of Wujun for several years, but there was no war in Wujun in the past few years. Xu Gong had no experience in fighting and had never even tried to cover up the enemy's attempts. Ordinary people didn't know that they knew very well that the bandits with some strength had something to do with the aristocratic family, and Xu Gong could not move anyone. The bandits without the support of the aristocratic family were vulnerable. As long as Xu Gong led his troops out of the city, they fled.
In other words, Xu Gong did not have real combat experience and was not better than Shen You.
"You all know that our army was practicing in Tongguan Mountain a few days ago. At that time, Shen You had already tried to command the army. He was indeed a little unfamiliar at the beginning, but he made great progress." Sun Ce turned to Chen Heng and gave a thumbs up. "I am a genius, you should have confidence in him."
Chen Heng was very embarrassed, and I don’t know whether to agree with Sun Ce or refute. Even if Shen You is a genius, even if Shen You progresses very quickly, he still has no practical experience after all. He commands such an important battle at once, of course he will win, but what if he loses?
"Don't worry, Shen Zi is a genius who can command tens of thousands of troops to fight. Commanding thousands of troops is no problem, and Xu Gong is not his opponent. You are looking forward to victory, so I am the same. I will only be more urgent than you. How can you joke about your future?"
Seeing that Sun Ce was speaking earnestly, Lu Kang also relaxed a little. "Is this... really possible?"
"Mr. Lu is just sitting there." Sun Ce raised his hand and pointed at the sky, confident. "Before noon, good news will come. You guys should hurry up and discuss the main business. The war is over. We have to clean up the battlefield, count the prisoners, and take over the city. There is a big deal to deal with, so I am not so leisurely."
Sun Ce said it lightly. Although Lu Kang and others no longer urged Sun Ce to command the battle, they were not in the mood to negotiate. Their attention was attracted by the war not far away, so they had no intention of discussing cooperation. Whatever Sun Ce said, they nodded and responded randomly, looking anxiously at the slope, wanting to have news, but also afraid that there would be news.
Among the six people including Lu Kang, only Lu Kang himself had the experience of commanding battles. The others were either civilians or scholars. Most of their experience in wars came from books or rumors, and they rarely practiced them. At this moment, listening to the sound of war drums in the distance one after another, they only knew that the battle was fierce, but they didn't know what the situation was. They felt like fifteen buckets were fetching water, up and down.
Seeing this, Sun Ce was not in a hurry. He slowly savored the tea and admired the expressions of Lu Kang and others.
Yang Xiu came over. "General, when did this plan be decided?"
"Yesterday, you were very busy in the baggage camp, so I didn't call you."
"General, I can understand that you have expressed your trust in the local genius of Wujun, but is it too risky to do this?"
Sun Ce turned to look at Yang Xiu and thought for a moment. "Dezu, you are responsible for the affairs of the baggage camp. Have I ever interfered?"
"I thank the general for his trust, Xiu is very grateful. But this is different..."
"Why are they different?" Sun Ce raised his hand and signaled Yang Xiu not to say anything. Maybe it was because of his different identities, or because of his different interests. Yang Xiu was not interested in combat. If he could not participate in the military meeting, he did not know how much preparations they had made for this war. In order to let the people of Wujun see his sincerity and to let the people of Wujun see his strength, he not only communicated in depth with Guo Jia to ensure that Guo Jia could cooperate with Shen You and do a good job in assisting, but also communicated with the captains of each battalion and gained their support. Unless Xu Gong is a famous general who is unparalleled, unless there is a major change, no matter who commands this time, as long as he does not act randomly, there will be no problem. The only difference is whether it is a big victory or a small victory, or a small casualty.
Lu Kang and others couldn't understand it, that's right. What he wanted was this effect. Yang Xiu couldn't understand it, and it was not surprising that he could take the initiative to remind him, indicating that he still supported him and did not want him to be frustrated, but now is not the time to explain in detail.
Since they want to act, they naturally have to have fun. The more they cannot understand now, the more impressed they are when the results come out. His territory is getting bigger and bigger, and he needs more people who can stand on his own. Shen You have such ability and loyalty, so of course he has to give him a chance. But Shen You is too young, and if he doesn't win by surprise and becomes famous in one battle, it will be difficult for him to convince the public. With such a legendary story, no matter what position Shen You holds in the future, he will not encounter too much obstacles.
The real wise ruler is to be able to use people, not to fight more than he can. Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu can also fight. In Kunyang, he defeated more than 400,000 Xinmang Army with 3,000 people, but he was able to sit in the world because he had the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai, not his personal ability to use troops. Xiang Yu was extremely capable of personal ability, and in Pengcheng, he defeated 560,000 coalition forces with 30,000 people. So what was the result? He was too capable, so he couldn't use Han Xin, forcing Han Xin to have to serve Liu Bang. In the battle at Gaixia, it was Han Xin who commanded the army to ambush on all sides, forcing Xiang Yu to commit suicide in the Wujiang River.
He is determined to be the world and does not want to be a personal hero like Xiang Yu. He does not have the appeal of Yuan Shao, so he can only cultivate talents by himself. Time is too late, and one must be successful, so that they can stand out and stand on their own, so that they can take charge of the central government and confront Yuan Shao.
If he was not in his position and did not plan his own affairs, Yang Xiuxin was in the court, so he naturally could not understand his approach.
