Chapter 546 It's time to let them play
The three parties in and outside the city, Qi Shan Xiao Khan and others discussed countermeasures, while the leaders of the tribal coalition forces there were also discussing, and even Zahubao in the city was also discussing countermeasures. However, he was discussing with his wife and eldest son. His position was too low before and there was no figure like a think tank to help him, so if he wanted to think of any countermeasures, he could only find his wife and son. ∮☆
The decision of Qidan reinforcements outside the city was to repair Zahubao first, and then attack the tribal coalition, or if the Central Plains army mediates, as long as they give them sufficient benefits, they can consider letting the tribal coalition temporarily go, but they still have to teach the tribal coalition a lesson. This is certain, so they still have to fight first. As for whether the battle will be very fierce, I will talk about it later.
The little khans in Qidan were different. After the tribal coalition arrived, there was nothing to say, so they decided to start the war directly. Why did they come here from afar? Isn’t it just for the war? The Bohai Sea is so big and the Northeast is so big, but they have to be bullied by Qidan. There was no way before. No matter how they resisted, they were not opponents of Qidan. Moreover, they did not have a backbone who could unite and resist Qidan’s tyranny together.
But this time it was different. They not only joined forces to form a powerful coalition. Although the number of coalition forces was still not as large as that of the singles in the Qisan, they had the Central Plains army as the backbone. This was a great thing beyond imagination. Although the tribes and ethnic groups were different, the benefits they wanted were also different. It can be said that there were many contradictions, but the big goal of attacking the singles in the Qisan is absolutely consistent. As for other conflicts, it would not be too late to talk about them in the future. As long as you win, there will always be room for negotiation. If the singles in the Qisan cannot be eliminated, then nothing will be said.
The decision of the tribal coalition forces is very simple. Just one word "beat". Whether it is a single person outside the city or a single person in the city, you have to fight. If you can't beat it, you will go to the Central Plains army, and then rely on the support of the Central Plains army. Then you will fight with a single person, and you will never stop and have no room for negotiation.
In the end, only Zhahubao was left, and he didn't want to fight because he was the weakest. Although he was in the city, if he really fought, the city wall would be useless. No matter how high the city wall was, someone would have to guard it. His troops were insufficient and his staff were not enough. It would be a waste of only having the city wall but no one would guard it.
Zahubao discussed with his wife and sons, but nothing was discussed. Finally, Zahubao said: "It seems that it depends on the meaning of the Central Plains army. They are by their side. I guess those people in the south of the city will not attack us!"
His eldest son's eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Father. I think we should send people on both sides, and at the same time, and send people to tell the little khans outside the city, telling them not to act rashly. If they dare to hurt their second brother and sister, then the Central Plains army will attack them, and the consequences will be made to stabilize them first. In the words of the Central Plains people, this is to pull the tiger's skin and make the big flag, and the fox pretends to be a tiger's power!"
After hearing this, Zhahubao nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, this idea is good. Those guys outside just can't stand me well. Then I have to tell them that I will definitely be good because I have the support of the Central Plains army. And, let's continue to talk."
The eldest son said again: "We will send people to the Central Plains army at the same time, and we don't have to see the general. As long as we are far away, we will shout to them, telling them that the little knights outside our city want to be unfavorable to the Central Plains army, but we can resolve it. In this way, the little knights outside the city have already scared them and made them dare not take action. If they don't take action, the generals in the Central Plains will naturally think that they are the father who has worked hard to resolve the conflict, and they will think that you are the best person among our singles. Then we will pay attention to you and help you to the throne? As long as the father becomes the patriarch and becomes the new king, they can withdraw their troops and go home early, and there is no need to stay here. I don't think they are willing to waste time here."
After hearing this, the lady was a little confused and said, "That guys outside the city want to be unfavorable to the Central Plains army. Can that general believe that? Those guys outside the city can't defeat the Central Plains army at all, so they dare not be unfavorable!"
Zhahubao clapped his hands and said, "Okay, this idea is indeed good." He glared at the lady and said, "You have long hair and short knowledge. We only talked about the disadvantages, but we didn't say anything unfavorable. As for how unfavorable, let the general want to go by himself. He will definitely think about the bad side. The worse the thought, the more capable I look!"
The lady still didn't understand, but she stopped talking. Anyway, the war was the men's business, so she couldn't control it, so she could only stay at home and wait for news.
Zhahubao quickly sent two teams, one to warn Qi Shan Xiaohan outside the city, while the other to curry favor with Yang Ze, and the two teams were sent at the same time!
After a discussion and making a decision, I sent someone out again. It had been a long time to struggle. It was already late at this time. It was time to hold the lights, but it didn't matter, because the three camps outside the city were all brightly lit, Qi Single Soldiers, Tribal Alliance, and Right Shenwu Army, all had dinner, and it was still early to sleep!
In the camp of the Right Shenwu Army, Yang Ze sat in Di Zhengjie's tent. Looking at Di Zhengjie with a haggard face, Di Zhengjie was frightened during the day and has not recovered his energy yet.
Yang Ze said: "Changshi Di, now I know that the people in Bohai are fierce. They are not good people and are difficult to manage!"
Di Zhengjie sighed and said, "The Xiaguan feels that it may not be suitable for staying in Bohai. Although General Yang did not say it clearly, the Xiaguan also knows that you want me to manage this Bohai Prefecture and would recommend the Xiaguan to be the governor of this prefecture, but the Xiaguan now feels that it is really difficult to be competent!"
After being scared, he wanted to give up. In fact, he was not better than the governor of Zhuozhou. The governor of Zhuozhou is older than him, more experience than him, and has thicker skin, so he is afraid of death and wants to be promoted very clearly, and he said it doesn't matter. In the past, Di Zhengjie looked down on the governor very much and thought he was an old bureaucrat and was extremely bastard. But now he found that he was the same. It is necessary to be afraid of death, and it is also necessary to be promoted. However, when the two must be compared, he found that he was more afraid of death, so he made it clear that he did not want to be the governor of Bohai Prefecture, and would rather not be promoted than stay here for more than have the life to be an official and enjoy it.
Yang Ze laughed loudly, laughing so hard that he fell back and forth. He didn't laugh a few times, but for a long time, making Di Zhengjie laugh inexplicably, and even a little scared. Will General Yang keep laughing like this, suffocating?
After Yang Ze finished laughing, he said, "Changshi Di, you are joking, it's really funny. It seems that you don't know how to be a competent local official."
"This... Although the officials in Zhuozhou are not in charge, they have to go through the officials' hands in Zhuozhou." Di Zhengjie said unconvincedly.
He really has never been in charge of the government, but he does the work of the government. Because the governor doesn't care about the affairs, he believes that he still understands what the governor is. He does all the work and does a good job. It's the same if there is a governor in Zhuozhou. As long as he has him, how can he be said to be incompetent?
Yang Ze said: "Okay, then I'll ask you, you are not the governor of Zhuozhou, but you do a lot of work, right?"
Di Zhengjie nodded. This was true, and the work was not easy, otherwise he would not have had so many complaints and was dissatisfied with the governor.
Yang Ze asked again: "You are not a governor, but you are doing the work of a governor. Then the officials below may not listen to you more. If you have conflicts with you, you will go to the governor. But because the governor doesn't care about the matter, they still have to listen to you, but they always cause some trouble for you. It's nothing to bother you, but if the trouble is too big, you have to go to the governor, but in the end the governor still asks you to find a solution yourself, right?"
Di Zhengjie nodded again. He did everything offends, and the governor did nothing, but he was often praised as being governed by inaction. What did the governor manage? It was all his chief minister who was governing, but he still couldn't get a good word!
"The governor does nothing, but he is still sitting firmly. He can still think about promotion. Do you know the reason?" Yang Ze asked with a smile.
Di Zhengjie hesitated for a moment. He thought he knew the officialdom very well, but he had never thought about the question asked by Yang Ze before, but he just wanted to complain about himself. Why did the governor do nothing, but he could still think about promotion. He had never analyzed this point. He had never even thought about it before.
Seeing him confused, Yang Ze smiled and said, "Because the more powerful the subordinates fight, the superiors can sit steadily. In Zhuozhou, you must be one force, and other subordinates are also one force. Only when the two forces are balanced can they do good things. The superiors can be relaxed and can think about promotion. To put it bluntly, he doesn't need to do things, he just needs to watch the battle between you. Whoever has the upper hand will he suppress. If you don't believe it, you can think about it carefully!"
Di Zhengjie was stunned. After thinking for a long time, he murmured: "It seems that that's the case!"
Yang Ze didn't mention it, he didn't think about it, but once he was reminded, he remembered it. Isn't that the case? No wonder he did so many things but still felt wronged, because the governor always suppressed him without leaving any trace, but he did not completely limit his power. This is indeed a balance!
Yang Ze patted his shoulder and said, "He is not very clever. If you can work and think he is good to you, that is a good method. Then can you understand now that I am just not a single person, but waiting for the tribal coalition forces to fight? Think carefully, don't just think about fighting. If you think about how to manage Bohai Prefecture in the future after the battle, you can figure it out. You can be a good governor of the Bohai Sea, and you don't have to worry about safety at all. Not only will anyone harm you, but everyone should also work hard to keep you safe!"
After saying that, Yang Ze got up, left the tent, and after coming out, he called Chang Chenggong and said, "It's almost done. It's dark, and you should be full of anger. Go as planned. Release the captives of the deeds. Remember to put on clothes and give them swords and guns. It's time to let them go!" (To be continued, please search Piao Tianwen, the novel is better and faster!
