Chapter Forty-Nine
Compared to Zhang Liang, one of the Three Great Masters of the Early Han Dynasty, Chen Ping is not rated highly in history books. The main reason is that he was greedy for money. As for the lustful wife of the thieves, it is nonsense. There is no real historical data for research, but come to think of it
, For a handsome man like Chen Ping, beauty is nothing. A woman likes her appearance, and the same goes for a man. It’s just that the two of them are in love with each other.
Li Yuan, who is used to seeing later generations laughing and joking in front of each other and calling each other brothers and sisters, is not interested in whether Chen Ping's character is upright. As long as Chen Ping is really talented, it doesn't matter if he reuses him. As for integrity, Li Yuan has never believed that Chen Ping can only rely on integrity.
Individual awareness can prevent corruption and bribery, but the key lies in the improvement of systems, monitoring of processes and effective restrictions on power.
Use modern enterprise management systems to lead a team, make the best use of people's talents, put power into the cage of the system. With the guarantee of these systems and processes, Li Yuan believes that in how to use people like Chen Ping
In terms of flawed talents, he can do better than Liu Bang.
"The army is joking, so it goes without saying. Sir, since you have a clever plan, please tell me." Li Yuan responded enthusiastically while wiping the shiny barrel of the iron gun.
This iron gun has followed Li Yuan in several battles. No less than a hundred enemy generals have died under its gun. The glimmer of blood from the tip of the gun always shows that a promise worth a thousand pieces of gold can make people laugh and talk about life and death.
中.Every word spoken by the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty is a solid word, and there is no room for falsehood.
Chen Ping looked away from the iron gun, with admiration in his eyes. He coughed lightly and said: "Captain, if you want Liu Bang to withdraw his troops, it is not difficult. We only need to ask him in the name of Zhao Ben."
Zhang Han, Wang
Li Xiu Shu asked for help, saying that Liu Bang's army had besieged the city for several days, cutting off food routes, and Changyi was in danger of being captured by Liu Bang's army. I believe that the generals and generals Wang will bring troops to help, and Liu Bang will retreat when the time comes."
Li Yuan pondered for a while and asked: "Zhao Ben is the nephew of Zhao Gao in Xianyang, Zhang Han, Wang Li will not ignore the letter when he sees it, but Zhang, Wang and the two armies are far away in Zhao, five or six days away from Xingyang.
It will take more than ten days to go back and forth. How can you guarantee that Liu Bang will not attack with all his strength during this period? Could it be that we hope that God will help us again and there will be another heavy snowfall?"
Li Yuan was not surprised by Chen Ping's proposal. Using force to fight is itself a level of tactical use. When the troops are at a disadvantage, it is quite appropriate to use neighboring troops to boost morale and strengthen one's strength.
A strategy.
If Chen Ping was only at this level, then he would be worthy of his reputation as a scheming person. Li Yuan decided to stir up some more excitement to see if Chen Ping still had something hidden in his stomach that he had not revealed.
Sure enough, after hearing what Li Yuan said, Chen Pingjun blushed and returned to normal immediately. After thinking about it for a moment, Chen Ping said: "In ten days, Ping will have another plan to make Liu Bang busy with his own efforts to build the city."
"What's the plan?" A sharp look flashed in Li Yuan's eyes. Chen Ping is indeed cunning. He is testing Li Yuan's ability.
If Li Yuan hadn't asked, Chen Ping wouldn't have revealed the next plan, and as a result, Chen Ping's evaluation of Li Yuan would have been lowered by one level.
A mediocre lord is not someone Chen Ping is willing to assist. Maybe, after the siege of Xingyang is resolved, Chen Ping will choose another force to seek refuge with. Even if he goes to Liu Bang, Chen Ping has nothing to do.
Worrying.
Chen Ping seemed to have sensed Li Yuan's dissatisfaction, and without hesitation, he immediately said: "Colonel Mingjian, the giant robber Peng Yue suddenly left during the siege. This is an extremely rare scene on the battlefield. In the opinion of my subordinates,
This can only indicate one situation, that is, Liu Bang's annexation of various coalition forces has reached an intolerable level. At this critical moment, if there are rumors that some princes want to imitate Peng Yue and lead troops to escape, I wonder what Liu Bang will think?
"
"Then, how to make the rumors credible? What evidence is there to avoid making people suspicious?" Li Yuan asked. Chen Ping's analysis was very reasonable, but there were still many problems to be solved in the actual implementation.
"Since it is a rumor, there is no need for any evidence. The captain can just send more soldiers to deliver the letter outside the city. As for the content of the letter, if the captain can trust his subordinates, then Ping Lai will write it and then leave it to Zhao Ben to write it.
Just seal and sign your name." Chen Ping said.
"That's it, then it's time for Mr. Lao. Tonight, I'll ask you to stay at the county captain's mansion to rest. Tomorrow, the letter will be completed and then handed over to the scouts for delivery." Li Yuan nodded.
Trust is sometimes just a feeling, an intuition, and the joy of knowing oneself to death.
Since Chen Ping wants to show his talents, he should simply let him do it. In terms of details, Li Yuan has always held the attitude of focusing on the general direction, decision-making, and process monitoring. As for how to write each step of the specific implementation, how to
What a good leader does is not something that a good leader needs to do personally.
——.
At night, the lights flicker.
The figure reflected in the mouth became very long in the shadow of the lamp, like a long ghost, sticking out its tongue and constantly looking at this chaotic world.
Chen Ping frowned, writing furiously for a while, then stopping to make corrections and start over again.
An excellent letter can definitely change the direction of a battle involving hundreds of thousands of people. If Chen Ping wants to make a name for himself, this letter must be written by Guan Jian.
"The general clearly understood that Ben was ordered by the prime minister to guard Xingyang and Changyi to ensure the safety of the army's food routes. However, the traitor Liu Bang has come with hundreds of thousands of people, and his momentum is fierce. Wherever he goes, there is no rubble.
, Ben originally wanted to live and die with the city, but he thought that there were still thousands of grains in the palace that could not be transported away——! "
"It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate. Zhao Ben is greedy for life and afraid of death. He is also a rough man in the army. How could he speak so cryptically? Why not change it to: Ben has a small number of generals. If he cannot be defeated, he should lead his troops northward and join forces.
Under the general’s command!”
"This Li Yuan is not very old. He just seems to be brave, but he didn't expect that he is also very scheming and can actually see into the deep meaning of people's hearts."
Chen Ping murmured to himself while correcting, and imitated the tone of others to write. This job was not easy. After writing for a while, Chen Ping finally realized Li Yuan's plan.
Chen Ping's letter was not drafted until daybreak. When Li Yuan saw Chen Ping in the morning, he saw that his eyes were red and swollen with a few bloodshot streaks. He had obviously been thinking about how to write the letter all night long.
"Thank you sir for your hard work. This letter is realistically drafted. Zhao Ben's anxious attitude is clearly visible in every word. I think that when the general in Chapter 1 saw the letter, he would be worried about Xingyang's loss and send troops to come. In addition, the last few sentences of this letter
, Jian Jian mentioned that there was disharmony among Liu Bang's army. One and two princes made an appointment with each other in the city and did not attack each other. It was really a stroke of genius." After reading the letter, Li Yuan couldn't help but clap his hands in admiration.
Words are as profound as strategies on the battlefield.
Chen Ping knew the ropes very well. In just a few sentences, he revealed Zhao Ben's suspicion of both asking for help and wanting to show off his merits. What's even better is that if Liu Bang intercepted this letter, Liu Bang's suspicion would be gone.
