Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 286
Waiting until the screams of the two people stopped abruptly, a string that had always been tense in the hall seemed to be broken, and everyone's faces gradually became angry, but still no one opened their mouths to break the silence.

Sitting in the hall, Su Jun was also not in a hurry to speak out, but glanced at the faces of these subordinates in the hall from time to time, and everyone who was caught by his gaze bowed their heads respectfully and did not dare to look at each other.

These generals are full of awe for him, Su Jun knows that this is the majesty that the commander of the army should have.But apart from being in awe, he couldn't guess whether there was any other kind of affection brewing.

In the past when he was in Liyang, he also felt that he had a strong army in his hands, and he had the trust of his ancestors to entrust the Xifan. Looking around Jiangdong, he could see nothing.So what if the Wang family is so powerful?Wasn't he defeated by his elite soldiers after repeated battles!In his opinion, there is no one who is more powerful than him and who will conquer in battle!

That period of time can be said to be the happiest time in his life. Although his family is a poor family, but in troubled times, the brave will always take the lead. Even those from the rich and deep families will be dwarfed by him!In his opinion, not to mention the brilliant achievements in saving the nation from danger in the past, in the future, if the imperial court wants to maintain the stability of Jiangdong and deter all parties, who else will it use?

Because of such confidence, Su Jun deservedly guarded Liyang and planned to serve as the fence of Gyeonggi for a long time.Looking at Liu Xia who went to Xuzhou, he couldn't help being a little ironic.It is also worth using Wu Yong. Among the refugees, Liu Xia, who is Shao Xu's son-in-law and inherited a part of Shao Xu's remaining tribe, has far more qualifications than Su Jun.But in the end, it was Suzu who knew people well, and used the truly brave and capable people briefly.

To be honest, for Su Zu's kindness and appreciation, Su Jun may not have thought of repaying him with death.He is by no means a reckless person who gets carried away once he wins, but since he took office in Liyang, there have been many people in the court and the field who have complained about his prominent role. If he can't show his posture, it is really difficult for him to stay in Xifan.Even if he bears the notoriety of arrogance and disobedience, he still wants to keep this place of merit that he and all the soldiers have earned through bloody battles.

However, with the early death of Su Zuying, the situation in Liyang has taken a turn for the worse. Taichung has shown undisguised hostility towards Liyang since the fall of Zhongshu.This inevitably made Su Jun even more indignant. Those who have no official position and can talk freely can reach the public, and those who are poor and dare to go to the country to fight bloody battles are regarded as disasters. What a world with right and wrong!

However, what surprised Su Jun even more was that when Li Yang's situation turned subtle, these generals under his command gradually became eccentric.In the early days, it was just some small private actions to swallow up people and supplies to enrich oneself. Now, there has been a phenomenon of private escape, and it is getting worse!
Su Jun asked himself that he is not a stingy person, he is not only good at fighting, but also good at running an army, especially he has understood very early on what is the most firm foundation for him to stand in the present.For these generals under his command, he has never been stingy with rewards, especially after sitting in Liyang Chongfan, he is almost conniving.

Logically speaking, all the generals followed him to the north and south, from the war-torn and barren land of Huaibei to this land of fish and rice in Xifan, it was a blessing from God that they were lucky not to die in battle, how could Su Jun bear to torture these followers of him with severe punishments? People who were born and died.In terms of benefits, if these people hadn't fought desperately, winning every battle and conquering every attack, with his poor body, how could he be able to advance to the high position he is now.

Because of this awareness, although he has no family resources to rely on, no old friends to speak out for, but since Qingzhou Township, he has gathered a group of brave fighters under his command.For example, Han Huang, who is currently listed in the table, was originally the son of Orion. Under his care and recommendation all the way, he has become a famous and accomplished general.The rest, Zhang Jian, the Kuang brothers, etc., if they were replaced by others, how could they have a bright future!
The sage said that he would not be confused at forty years old. He has already passed the age of not confused, but the more he lived, the more confused he became.He thought that his great contributions to the country would be enough to stand in the world without any shame, and his kindness to scholars would be enough to survive and invite loyalty without worry.However, the reality has taught him a lesson time and time again. The power and treachery are suspicious, and the subordinates are alienated. He no longer knows what to do with himself.

Su Jun knew that this state of affairs could not last long, and if Li Yang was targeted like this again but he had no countermeasures, then there was almost no need for the court to take any further action, and his followers might spontaneously disperse.

However, it is not easy to break through the blockade and targeting of various families in Taichung. Originally, Nandun King Sima Zong's overtures made Su Jun overjoyed.What he suffers from is that there is no one in Taichung to respond to him. King Nandun is the elder of the clan. If he can get his friendship, most of Liyang's plight will be alleviated.

King Nandun wanted to be much more radical than Su Jun. He generously invited Su Jun to take part in Wang Dun's old affairs in the past, and sent troops to the court to sweep Xiaoxiao, and then returned to the vassal to show his self-respect.Su Jun was quite moved by this in his heart, but he also knew that his current situation was incomparable to that of Wang Dun in his early years.

Unexpectedly, while he was still hesitating, Taichung Zhongshu suddenly launched an attack and directly killed King Nandun in Gyeonggi.This made Su Jun not only frightened, but also fearful, worried that Zhongshu would use this power to point the finger at him, so he has been having trouble sleeping and eating recently.He knew that although his troops were brave, they were ultimately single. In addition, the current situation was more worrisome due to the fact that the people in the group were currently at odds with each other and fleeing privately was a common practice.

After dealing with the two people who fled the old department privately, Su Jun's eyes wandered over everyone, he hoped he could see clearly which one was human and which one was ghost, but unfortunately people's hearts were separated, and now those who swear to show their loyalty in the banquet, their part Perhaps he has already packed his luggage in private.

In the end, Su Jun's eyes fell on Kuang Shu in the side seat, and he said with a wry smile, "Can you teach me the middle way?"

Although there are many generals in Su Jun's army, most of them come from humble and humble backgrounds. Most of them are good at fighting, but very few are really good at planning. Among them, Kuang Shu is one of the few who has a strategic mind.Earlier, it was this person who suggested that the detainees should be resettled slowly, so as to provide sufficient soldiers and labor for the Liyang Army, otherwise it would be even more difficult to maintain the Liyang Army simply by relying on the gains obtained by blocking the river.

Kuang Shu is someone who has followed Su Jun since the beginning of Qingzhou. If his family is counted, it can barely be regarded as the old surname of Beidi.This gentleman intends to revive his family reputation, but he has nowhere to ask for help, and finally relies on Su Jun's wings, and gradually he has a little improvement.Although he only serves as the county magistrate of one place now, he is no longer an unknown person.

Hearing Su Jun's inquiry at this time, Kuang Shu pondered for a long time before he said generously: "Zhongshu is a political inspector, Taichung has a lot of resentment, and the master's subordinates are already in panic. Sit peacefully and wait for death, die generously, but the master understands break."

Hearing what Kuang Shu said, Su Jun's face became even more gloomy.He does not doubt Kuang Shu's loyalty, but this person's intentions are really questionable.

This kind of mastermind has great ambitions, and likes to make risky strategies to show his abilities, because his vision is too strong, and his judgment on the current situation is biased.Generosity is simple, but as the first to bear the brunt, Su Jun needs to consider more.Although he has a strong team under his command, he is not invincible when looking at Jiangdong. Not to mention Tao Kan, a veteran general in Shaanxi, and Wen Qiao, who sees Wuchang in Hushi, Huaijingkou alone is an opponent that cannot be ignored.

Su Jun originally came from the south of Huaibei, so he naturally knew the bravery of the many generals who defended the Wubi wall there. Sitting in town is still not to be underestimated.And the wishes of the many wealthy families in Jiangdong also had to be considered, especially for local snakes like Wu Xingshen's family, if they refused to go along with him, then it would be even more difficult for him to gain a foothold in Jiangdong.

Although he respected his counselors, as a decision maker, especially if he made a move, he would risk the lives of his family and even the reputation of his ancestors. It was really difficult for Su Jun to make a decision as rashly as Kuang Shu.Although the current situation is tense, it is still not at the end of the road, and Su Jun still wants to work harder.

After pondering for a while, he looked at another counselor in the table and gave way.If Kuang Shu is his think tank, then Ren Rang is the only person under his command who can communicate with all parties.Unlike Kuang Shu's family, who was lonely and angry when he was in the middle of the road, Ren Rang was born in a prominent family in the plains. Although his family background is prominent, he was treated poorly by the villagers because of his lack of mobility when he was young.

But let this person be proficient in Xuan and Confucianism, good at dancing with long sleeves, and his background is not low, so he can get something every time he is sent as an envoy.Therefore, Su Jun also treats this rare talent under his command very courteously, and will always consult him when he encounters problems.

Seeing Su Jun's gaze, Ren Rang sat up slightly in the banquet, and then said: "What Kuang Ming's mansion said is not true. However, if you want to achieve a big event, it is difficult to rely on Li Yang's power alone." For a long time. My lord wants to be calm, so it is really not suitable to go upstream against the wind and flow, not to show off the power of the moment, and to retreat half of the ground, it is not bad."

Hearing this, not to mention the slight change in Kuang Shu's expression, the generals in the audience were even more moved.His younger brother Su Yi, who was sitting on Su Jun's left, couldn't help but snorted coldly: "The Zhongshu has repeatedly pressed, and the sharp knife is already in his hand. Once he retreats, where can he retreat again? The land of Liyang, we will be bathed in blood It is because of fierce battles and repeated great achievements that I was awarded this title. I really do not agree with Ren Jun's words."

Hearing Su Yi's words, all the generals also echoed.They have enjoyed the richness of Liyang, and they have almost decided to bury their bones in this hometown, so they are not willing to give up lightly.Now that you have obtained this land by fighting hard, then don't be afraid to receive this land for fighting again!

After Ren Rang heard the words, he smiled and sighed: "We are still living here, and the officers and men are already far away from each other. If we move to another place, it will be even more unstoppable. What I said is a small step back, I might as well slow down my words a little. Seeking an opportunity for planning. I am not the only one who is forced by Zhongshu, and Yuzhou is particularly troubled. The old man of Jingzhou has no reputation for assisting the government. Is he at ease? Kuaiji has long since turned his back. Could it be that the daughter of a mere emperor can invite him Pure heart?"

Hearing Ren Rang's analysis, Su Jun's eyes couldn't help projecting a strong light, and he couldn't help leaving the table, took Ren Rang's hand and said in a deep voice: "What I said about joining the army won my heart. I will prepare my own later. A generous gift, please join the army and go everywhere, please help me!"

Han Huang saw this scene in the banquet, but he was not very optimistic in his heart.Although Ren Rang's analysis is incisive, it is too ideal.At least in his opinion, it is absolutely impossible to submit to Kuaiji.But since the lord attaches so much importance to this strategy, he really doesn't want to spoil the fun at this time, and only hopes that Ren Rang can really gain something.

　Talking about the judgment of destroying the Three Views, as far as I personally feel, Jingzhou's mind is open to question, at least in the matter of the Su Jun Rebellion, and it may not be pure. . .But the result is already clear, there is no point in discussing these, it's just a bit of malicious speculation when I'm bored. . .
