Chapter 115
The best liars and conspirators, of course, will even trick their own insignificant people into it when they play tricks——

Just make sure it doesn't lead to any other negative consequences, like low morale, unstable morale, etc., and you'll be fine.

No, this time Shen Shuren played tricks, hugged the grass and beat the rabbit Yin Zuo Liangyu, even the ordinary people in Xiaogan City were deceived, and even Jin Shenghuan, who just came from afar for reinforcements two days later, was also deceived into it.

Jin Shenghuan arrived in Xiaogan with his troops on the third day of May. When he arrived, he saw a gloomy look, and heard the noise of the wind along the way, so he couldn't help but feel very worried.

As soon as they met, he raised his concerns: "Shen Bingbei, the final general was ordered by Fang Futai to lead a battalion of troops from the headquarters to help and wait for the deployment of the soldiers. I don't know how the soldiers will deploy our army?

Forgive me for speaking bluntly, on the way to the future, I passed by Wuchang Mansion yesterday and heard a lot of news that is not good for our army. The filthy words of grievances between people are probably not good for the battle situation. "

Shen Shuren smiled slightly, and patted him on the shoulder: "It's okay, folk fools know nothing about the art of war, and it's impossible for them to know that Liu Guoneng has sent reinforcements to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao He Yilong's lair.

Our army has always kept this news strictly confidential. The Xiaogan squire said that our army was helpless, and I have never refuted the rumors and allowed them to spread.What I'm afraid of is to startle the enemy, so that Er He can keep procrastinating until the last moment. "

Seeing Shen Shuren's commanding attitude, Jin Shenghuan let go of his worries, and then went to greet other Ming army generals, his words and attitude were respectful.

Although Jin Shenghuan sent reinforcements on behalf of Fang Kongxuan, his military position was only a garrison, leading a 2000-man guard battalion.

Shen Shuren has a lot of high-ranking and low-ranking military generals here, Zuo Zixiong is already a guerrilla, Zhang Mingzhen and Yang Jinjue are also captains, no official position is higher than Jin Shenghuan, he can only choose to keep a low profile.

After half a day's work, Jin Shenghuan roughly became familiar with his fellow generals, and in the process, seeing that Zuo Zixiong and others admired Shen Shuren so much and absolutely obeyed his words, he was also secretly startled, thinking that Shen Bingbei must have something. Excellence.

He has been in the army in Zhao'an for ten years, and he has never seen a general admire his civilian superiors so much from the bottom of his heart.

Even he himself, a high-ranking official like Fang Kong Xing, was only compelled to obey Fang Kong Xing's high position and authority, but he couldn't talk about worshiping Fang Kong Xing's character or personality charm.

He couldn't help asking secretly and euphemistically, wondering why Zuo Zixiong and others worshiped Shen Shuren so much.

As a result, the answer he got was also very unquestionable. All the generals looked at him like an idiot:
"In the future, you will know that Shen Bingbei loves the people like a son, and has no pretensions. Whether it is persuading farmers to govern the army, he does it himself. Even craftsmen, farmers, and soldiers, as long as they have skills, they can be used by him."

"Shen Bingbei was born as a Jinshi in two rankings, and he has the reputation of admonishing Geng Jie in the world, but he never looks down on us military officials, nor will we look down on craftsmen, they are all equals——

Jin Shoubei, you are belatedly aware, think about it, Liu Guoneng was not born in Zhao'an, a traitor, and he was so generous and generous when he saw Shen Bingbei's request for help.

I remember that there is a boss under you, who escorted Shen Fu to send a letter of help to Liu Guoneng before, but he didn't tell you how Liu Guoneng appreciates Shen Bingbei? "

All the generals talked in a hurry, what they said was awe-inspiring and upright, which made Jin Shenghuan a little ashamed.But after carefully listening to the many deeds relayed by the audience, Jin Shenghuan himself couldn't help being shaken, a little bit wanting to hang around with Shen Shuren forever.

Although he was later surrendered to the Qing Dynasty in history, he was surrendered with his boss Zuo Menggeng (Zuo Liangyu's son) after all, so he was somewhat involuntary.

Later, anyway, participating in the anti-Qing and restoring the Ming Dynasty did not necessarily mean being loyal to Daming, but that this kind of military general who was born in Zhao'an, a traitor, more or less liked a "martial" political environment, and liked to be given to a civil servant who could not suppress military generals. Court work——

On this point, some military generals who descended from the Yuan Dynasty at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty had similar logic when they took refuge in Kublai Khan.

Kublai Khan asked the Song Dynasty that the salaries and benefits offered by the Song Dynasty were not bad, why did they vote after being favored by the emperor for decades, but Jia Sidao, Wen Tianxiang and other civil servants could persist in resisting, and in the end so many jumped into the sea.

The Song Dynasty veterans like Xia Gui said: The Song Dynasty emphasized literature over martial arts!Jia Sidao was always wary of us and disrespected us.

In the end Kublai Khan just smiled and said: No wonder Jia Sidao doesn't respect you!You are not even as good as Jia Sidao!
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Li Chengdong and Jin Shenghuan, who first surrendered to the Qing and then rebelled against the Qing, more or less had the same idea.It is that the Ming Dynasty despises generals too much, and is not as good as barbarians, so they would rather give up national justice for their own ability, social status and class order, and must find a regime that allows military generals to ride on the heads of civil officials.

Unfortunately, when Jiangxi and Guangdong were pacified in history, the Qing Dynasty also showed signs of "ruling the country with literature". A governor could step on the heads of Li Chengdong and Jin Shengheng to humiliate them. Respect you bastards! You are trash warriors!" Then these people turned back when they got angry.

Li Chengdong has too many bad deeds in history, Shen Shuren is definitely impossible to win over, but Jin Shenghuan can still be saved.

The most important thing is that he soon discovered that Shen Shuren was different from all the other civil servants he had ever met. Shen Shuren really felt that civil and martial arts were equal, which gave him a sense of understanding.

This kind of civil and military equality that comes from modern people's ideas in words and deeds when talking to military commanders cannot be pretended by any civil official in the Ming Dynasty.

People who have read the Four Books and Five Classics all their lives and took the road of imperial examinations have long been brainwashed to the bone by advocating literature and suppressing martial arts.Shen Shuren's peace of mind, which is unique to a time traveler, has instead become a "spiritual cheat" for him to win over the generals who are resentful.

……

Jin Shenghuan and his colleagues brainwashed each other, gradually tending to be assimilated.According to Shen Shuren's plan, he came from a long way, and he had to rest for a day to recover his condition before going into battle.

On the other side, coincidentally that evening, another piece of good news came from the direction of the bandit camp.

After Shen Shuren listened roughly, he was also quite excited, and immediately called all the generals to discuss.

As soon as the generals entered the big tent, they saw the joyful expression on the face of Mr. Bingbei, and they couldn't help but look forward to it.

Shen Shuren didn't let them guess riddles, and proudly announced: "Yang Dusi's scouts were on duty just now, and they captured another group of thieves who came to cast their votes, and there were two to three thousand soldiers!

These are said to be He Jin's direct descendants. I have already questioned them. They said that He Yilong announced He Jin's death in the army yesterday morning!He also planted the blame on us, saying that after being injured by a landmine in Yanzhi County that day, he finally died of illness!

However, many of He Jin's personal guards were missing, and there were rumors in the camp that He Yilong murdered his colleagues and annexed his followers!Some of He Jin's confidantes were in danger, so they had no choice but to lead their troops to surrender!The internal strife among the thieves has come to this point, God bless me to break it! "

"What? We haven't done anything yet, and He Jin is actually dead!"

"God bless Daming! The thieves are so infighting, but our army still has reinforcements and flanking attacks. Although there are many thieves, there is nothing to worry about!"

The generals were inexplicably surprised for a while, and their morale became more and more exciting.

After the initial ecstasy, everyone quickly summed up the strength of the enemy and ourselves.

Because there are two or three thousand soldiers fleeing from internal strife to vote, the inside story of He Yilong's military situation is now completely transparent to the officers and soldiers, even more transparent than opening the see-through hook.

Shen Shuren can quickly sort out how many people He Yilong has left, how many wounded people, and the logistics and supplies.

The generals immediately split up and stepped up the torture, and soon learned:

The military rations for the thieves can last at least a month, but because they have to retreat, they can't take all the supplies away, and they won't loot randomly in Suizhou recently, anyway, they can't take them away.

Under normal circumstances, if the bandits march slowly in batches for ten or eight days, it is possible to escort most of the supplies through the Tongbai Mountain area as they did when they came.

But if you are in a hurry now, then you can only bring a little less.

Moreover, according to the latest news about thieves, Liu Guoneng seemed unable to attack the Xinyang Mansion, so he did not choose to directly besiege Xinyang County.

Instead, after a tentative attack, they turned around and chose to block the entrance, and there was already a tendency to seize Tongbai Pass, the north entrance of Xinyang Road——

A word of geography must be mentioned here. Tongbaiguan is a gap on the Xinyang-Suizhou passage, located at the northernmost end of the Weishui River Valley.It is the only way to march from Anlu County and Suizhou County all the way north along the Weishui River Valley, cross Tongbai Mountain and enter Henan.

Historically, the detour from Xinyang, Henan to attack Suizhou, Hubei, all followed this path. On this mountain path, the battle of the main material of "Sun Tzu's Art of War" broke out:

2000 years ago, when Sun Wu led the Wu army to conquer Chu, he first transported it from Wudi to Xinyang by water on the Huaihe River (at that time, the navigation technology was relatively poor, and the Huaihe River was easier to travel than the Yangtze River), and then from Xinyang to Tongbaiguan to enter Weishui, and then to Suiguo In his hometown, he fought the "Battle of Baiju" with the Chu army.

Sun Wu wrote the art of war in his life, but there were only a few actual battles. It can be said that the Battle of Baiju provided most of the actual combat materials for "Sun Tzu's Art of War".

Including Sun Tzu's writing about the difficulty of raising food and grass, "If you eat an enemy for one minute, you will be my twenty minutes; if you avoid a pole, you will be my twenty stones". Logistical loss is calculated.

Because it takes so much loss to transport grain over the Dabie Mountains and Tongbai Mountains, one hour at the front is equal to twenty minutes at the rear. If it is another battlefield, it is impossible to lose so much.

Such a dangerous road that could give birth to "Sun Tzu's Art of War", but now the opening on the north side is in danger of being ambushed and blocked by Liu Guoneng, how can He Yilong not be in a hurry?Now is the time for the brave to win.

If you win, you will be able to jump into the sea, and the people who have annexed He Jin will rob casually on the Henan Plain.

If he lost, Liu Guoneng intercepted him before, and Shen Shuren chased after him, and he was blocked in this Tongbai mountain road.

Winner takes all, loser gets nothing!
After Shen Shuren combined the information and analyzed the situation clearly, the will of the generals to fight became more and more overwhelming. Jin Shenghuan, who had just arrived, was also worried that there would be no chance to show off, so he took the initiative to ask for a fight:
"Master Bing Bei! Tomorrow, please be kind and be the vanguard! Go after He Yilong first!"
