    "Bastard, how did you fight? Huh? Four or five thousand people were actually defeated by five thousand Zhao troops? Hold on to the city and defend it. Don't you even know how to defend the city?" In the governor's office of Liangzhou  , Lin Shucheng's face was ashen as he cursed the generals who were kneeling on the ground.

    "Grand Governor, it's not that the time is at a disadvantage when defending the city, but that the soldiers under his command immediately dispersed when the Zhao army attacked the city. We can't suppress them." One person explained bitterly.

    "Damn! In just over ten days, we lost eight cities in the east and north in a row. It's so embarrassing. You are resisting the Zhao army here and there. It can be said that you were defeated in one battle." Lin Shucheng Yue  The more you say it, the more angry you become.  Although he, Lin Shucheng, was extremely intelligent, he was unable to use his strength when the two armies were fighting and the strength of the troops was greatly disparity.  In particular, Zhao Jun came out from many directions, which made him unable to take into account everything.

    The most important thing is that the strength of Liangzhou Army cannot be compared with Zhao Army.  Even, they are far inferior to the regular soldiers of Yong Army.  In a head-on battle, they are no match for each other.

    "Grand Governor, Biao and the other newcomers to the army have not yet been able to fully control the entire army, and the soldiers have no fighting spirit, so what can be done! Furthermore, the cold winter has arrived, and the soldiers do not have enough winter clothes, and even less things to keep warm.  The soldiers are already complaining privately and are worried that if this continues, the consequences will be disastrous."

    When talking about this, Lin Shucheng frowned. He already knew that Liangzhou was barren.  But he didn't expect that the situation was more serious than expected.  Liangzhou has never been taken seriously by Situ Lei, and the Liangzhou army has been deployed by Situ Lei many times. As a result, there are few young people in Liangzhou and the people are in poverty.  Without backup, Liangzhou alone is indeed unable to cope with the pressure from the outside world.

    "Stand down and get your subordinates in order. I don't want something like this to happen again next time."

    "Wait a minute!" Just when Lin Shucheng asked the generals to retreat, a person suddenly spoke.

    "Wang Sima, what's the matter with you?" Lin Shucheng frowned slightly when he saw that the person who spoke was Zuo Sima Wang Hewen.

    Wang Hewen said quietly: "Grand Governor, these few people were defeated at the hands of the Zhao army and lost the city. Is it possible for the Grand Governor to deal with such crimes like this? I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Liangzhou Army to punish such an unfair behavior.  Be convinced."

    "Yes, Grand Governor, these people are all guilty of losing the city and being defeated in battle. They must not be punished. Otherwise, they will inevitably be suspected of unfair rewards and punishments." Chang Shi Tianyu, You Sima and others all said in unison.

    "You" Lin Shucheng's face suddenly darkened, and then he said coldly: "Unfair rewards and punishments? Isn't this the Commander-in-Chief asking them to make meritorious deeds for their crimes? The Liangzhou Army does not have many good generals. If they are punished, it will definitely weaken the strength of our Liangzhou Army.  . Furthermore, if they are punished, it will definitely make their base uneasy."

    "Grand Governor, that's not what you said when you replaced more than 30 generals including General Youwei and General Front. When it comes to understanding the soldiers, how can they compare to General Liu and others?  ? General Liu and others were transferred from their posts due to the unfavorable outcome of the battle, let alone them? "

    "Grand Governor, I think that in order to prevent the Liangzhou army from being defeated in a thousand-mile battle with the Zhao army again and losing consecutive battles, we should let the original generals lead the battle. In that way, the soldiers will know the generals, and the generals will know the soldiers.  Like now, the general can't even control his soldiers."

    Wang Hewen and others bluntly asked Lin Shucheng for a palace. Although Lin Shucheng also had close followers who were defending him, Wang Hewen had sufficient reasons this time.  Moreover, there were many members of the former Liangzhou Army who were suppressed by Lin Shucheng. Seeing this opportunity, they immediately began to fight back.

    Lin Shucheng's face was extremely gloomy, but this time the opponent had caught his vital point, and he could not refuse forcefully. Moreover, the former Metropolitan Governor Situ Fei was also by his side.

    "Second Young Master, how do you think we should deal with it?" Lin Shucheng turned to Situ Fei beside him and asked.  He knew that the person next to him had never been willing to let him occupy the position of chief governor.  I also know that everyone in the hall has a great relationship with each other.  He suppressed the former Liangzhou Army, and it would be strange if the other party didn't respond.

    Situ Fei smiled calmly and said: "I am not an official in the Governor's Mansion as I am currently idle. I am here just to learn about the battle situation on the front line. Naturally, you, the Governor, have the final say in handling military and political matters."

    "However, I think it is better to punish them at this moment than to let them serve their crimes. After all, our army is in urgent need of manpower. But when it comes to understanding the soldiers of the army, it is better to understand the original generals. After all, they are in the Liangzhou Army.  Among them, the prestige is higher than those of them. It is more suitable for him to lead the army in battle. What do you think?"

    Lin Shucheng's eyes twitched slightly, his expression remained unchanged, he stared at Situ Fei closely, and after a long while, he said in a cold voice: "Since you all said so, then let's do it. Send the order toLi Wenyun and other eight people were asked to return to their old troops immediately and resist the Zhao army at Wuwei in the north and Jincheng and Didao in the east.  "

    "Winter is coming and our army is in trouble, so why not the Zhao army? As long as we defend step by step, we will be able to resist the Zhao army outside the city. Zhao has many soldiers, but they also need a lot of food, grass, supplies and winter clothes, and they consume a lot of materials.  It is several times that of ours. Transporting supplies in winter, especially in snowy weather, is not an easy task.¡±

    "Now that the overall situation in the south has been decided, our army has defeated the Qi army in the south. As long as we can persist in blocking Zhao Jun's continued invasion, when the southern army returns next spring, we will definitely be able to drive Zhao Jun out."

    "Grand Governor, these villains are clearly trying to force the palace, why should you agree to them?" In the inner hall, Lin Shucheng and several of his cronies gathered here with solemn expressions.

    Lin Shucheng said in a deep voice: "So what if we don't agree? The situation is beyond our control. Besides, if the army is defeated, it should be punished."

    "But" Li Xuyi, who came to Liangzhou with Lin Shucheng, smiled bitterly, "Grand Governor, we finally found some excuses to place a dozen of our people in the army in various places. But just this time, we will  Most of it is gone. It can be said that our hard work for more than two months has been lost in one fell swoop.¡±

    "Yes, Governor, Master Li is right. Now, the Liangzhou Army has been taken over by them again. The prince asked us to control Liangzhou here. If this continues, it will be difficult to complete." Others also  said one after another.

    Lin Shucheng sneered and said: "Control Liangzhou? Do you think we controlled Liangzhou before today? I just discovered now that these two young masters are not as cooperative as we imagined. So many people have spoken out against this time.  What is it? Isn¡¯t it because the second young master is standing behind them?¡±

    "However, today's events have also shown us that Liangzhou is not under our control at all. Do you think it's okay if I don't agree? Didn't you hear them say that those Liangzhou military generals who were replaced by us are not under our control at all?"  Only in the military can we have prestige. They are hinting to us that if we continue to use our people, these soldiers will not buy it. "

    Li Xuyi's face darkened, and he said with some disbelief: "No, from the current situation, it seems that the reason why we replaced his staff and suppressed their former Liangzhou officials is just to allow us to control the power of Liangzhou. But, if  Being unable to resist the invasion of the Zhao army is a matter of great concern to the entire Yong army, right?"

    Lin Shucheng frowned and said slowly: "I'm not sure what the second young master wants to do. Speaking of regaining power, it's not a good opportunity when the Zhao army is attacking. Besides, I'm here to take charge of Liangzhou.  , It¡¯s the prince¡¯s military order, he shouldn¡¯t be so bold.¡±

    Li Xuyi said in a deep voice: "Grand Governor, could it be that the affairs in Chengdu Mansion have made the second master anxious and want to put more weight on himself?"

    "No, although the prince did not directly say who will inherit his great cause, but at this moment, he disobeys the military orders and acts recklessly, which will definitely not add much power to his rise to power. Furthermore No matter from which aspect, the second young master will inherit the great cause.  The chances are not high." Someone immediately retorted.

    Lin Shucheng knows the most clearly about inheriting the throne.  He came here this time to eliminate Situ Fei's influence here and avoid future internal fighting among Yong's army.  In other words, Situ Fei is no longer qualified to inherit the great cause.

    Didn¡¯t you say that after the man from Luoyang leaves Yongzhou, he will send an order here to ask Situ Fei to leave Liangzhou too?  Why haven't military orders arrived yet?  Did the prince change his mind?  Lin Shucheng also became uncertain.  If it was Situ Fei alone and it was Liangzhou's problem, after Situ Fei arrived here and took over Liangzhou, he would have Situ Fei immediately return to Chengdu.  But in the east of Liangzhou, there is another eldest son who is very difficult to deal with.  Therefore, in order to avoid any accidents, he could only wait for news from Yongzhou.

    "Well, no matter what, the top priority now is to stop the Zhao army. The problem here is very serious. You all know the foundation of Liangzhou. Now the cold winter has arrived, and it has even begun to snow in the east. As Wang Hewen said before, the soldiers only  We are afraid that we are no longer interested in fighting. There is a huge shortage of winter clothes needed by our army, but as far as we know, Zhao Jun's supplies have been stockpiled at the junction of Bingzhou, Xiazhou and Liangzhou long ago.  We are fully prepared. And we" Lin Shucheng suppressed his worries about today's events and said continuously.

    ¡°Grand Governor, it¡¯s not my subordinates who say too much. Judging from the current situation, the possibility that Liangzhou can hold on is not high!¡±

    Lin Shucheng's face condensed and he said: "No matter how big or small, we must stick to it. Don't forget, you and I are both Liangzhou officials. If Liangzhou is lost in your hands and mine, no one will get the best. What if you?  If you think your neck is harder than others, then ignore Liangzhou An.??.  "

    Lin Shucheng naturally knew that what Situ Lei wanted was for the Liangzhou Army to protect the southeastern prefectures and counties as much as possible so that Hanzhong and Chang'an would have a safe outer protective network.

    If it weren¡¯t for the prince¡¯s poor health, how could we be in the current situation?  I don't know if Yong's army can develop stably under the leadership of the new king Lin Shucheng is secretly worried about the current situation of Yong's army.

    In Situ Fei's mansion, there was also a group of people. In addition to Wang Hewen and other Situ Lei's cronies, there was also a special person, that is Nangong Hao, the first commander of the Zhenjun in the Zhao army's attack from north to south.

    "Congratulations, Second Young Master, for regaining the advantage again. Second Young Master, you will definitely have a place among the princes in the world in the future." Nangong Hao said with a smile.

    Situ Fei looked calm and said quietly: "Nangong Hao, you have occupied several cities on the front line. What about the conditions we mentioned in advance? When are you going to agree?"

    Nangong Hao said with a smile: "You can do it at any time, just with winter clothes, our army has prepared extra. The Second Young Master has given up eight cities in this battle, and we will pay the corresponding food and winter clothes."

    Wang Hewen said: "By the way, during this battle, because we have to give up these places, many of our soldiers are captured by you. These prisoners"

    Nangong Hao said with a smile: "We will let them return. The reason is that in the cold winter, our army cannot support too many prisoners. But killing them is too cruel, so they are released. Of course, this is also to give you some coolness."  The governor of the state will give an explanation."

    "By the way, there are two trading methods now. Either you send people to rob the grain. Or, through merchants, we transport the grain to Xihai Mansion and hand it over to you. How are you going to accept these things?"

    Wang Hewen said: "Stealing grain? If the governor of Liangzhou is not Lin Shucheng, this is a very good method. However, Lin Shucheng's intelligence will definitely be able to see the problem. We have just been defeated, if we can intercept the grain and grass supplies from you  , that¡¯s what¡¯s weird.¡±

    Tian Yu shook his head and said: "The other method is not advisable. Their Zhao army transported the supplies to Xihai Mansion, which is the northwestmost area under the control of our army. This is not good for our original plan. What we need is  In the east, not in the north.¡±

    Situ Fei understood immediately, and the joy on his face immediately dissipated, and he said coldly: "What? Don't you, Zhao Jun, not want to act in accordance with the agreement? Wang Hewen, immediately send someone to contact the Governor to report this matter"

    Nangong Hao said repeatedly: "Wait a minute! Don't you know, Second Young Master, that acting like this will implicate yourself? Even if the matter is exposed, our Zhao army will still attack Liangzhou, but Second Young Master, just"

    Situ Fei sneered and said, "Really? If the news here reaches the ears of the Governor, it will soon reach the ears of my father. By then, your King Zhao can still calmly allow such a large army like yours."  Are you moving west? Now that your army is approaching, it may not be possible for the southern princes to counterattack in the future, especially after you have begun to infiltrate the various princes. "

    Nangong Hao was suddenly startled. He couldn't help but take a closer look at the second young master in front of him, and found that he was more powerful than he thought.  However, Nangong Hao originally didn't have much hope for this matter. He just wanted to cause trouble for Situ Fei.  Seeing that the other party saw the problem, he smiled and said: "The reason for this is because the materials we transport to the west of Liangzhou happen to pass through there, so it is more convenient to dispatch. Since you are not willing, then change the place.  You tell us the location, and we will transport it there. Of course, it will definitely not be the rear area."

    Seeing Nangong Hao¡¯s answer, Situ Fei also breathed a sigh of relief.  Although he said it was good, it didn't mean that he was really willing to do that.  No one dislikes power

    Wang Hewen spread out the map, looked at it, and finally pointed to a big city between Anding Mansion and Tianshui, and said: "Qinzhou City is here. If you transport it here, we will have someone to take care of you."

    "Okay then! I wish the Second Young Master to gain all the real power as soon as possible and retreat south. By the way, I also want to tell the Second Young Master that your eldest brother, the Governor of Yongzhou, is also like you. The place he chose is the eastern part of Yongzhou  . The only options you can choose, Second Young Master, are Chang¡¯an and Hanzhong. These two places are surrounded by dangers and are good places to start a business.¡±

    "Time waits for no one. Second Young Master must take action early. Once there is a change, then By the way, Second Young Master, Lin Shucheng, the Governor of Liangzhou, is not an ordinary person. If you don't want him to find out anything, you should deal with him first."  That¡¯s right.¡±

    Situ Fei said: "I don't need to worry about this matter. You just need to give us what we agreed to. As for what I do, it is our own business."

    Seeing that I couldn¡¯t let Situ FeiTaking action against Lin Shucheng, even Situ Fei had the intention to accept Lin Shucheng. Nangong Hao couldn't help but secretly sigh, this Lin Shucheng was indeed talented. If possible, he would certainly hope that this Lin Shucheng would die here to eliminate a big enemy for his side.

    "By the way, one last thing, the year is approaching. After one or two more siege battles, our army will stop operations this year. If you want to stabilize your current power this time, these few offensive and defensive battles will be  Fix their morale. Also, start preparing to move your troops. Otherwise, our Zhao army will be attacked by thunder in the coming spring." Nangong Hao said in a deep voice.

    After Nangong Hao left, Situ Fei and others sat silently.  From now on, they have embarked on a path they should not have taken, and no one can guarantee what the outcome will be.

    "Father, don't blame me, I can only blame you for being too partial."  If the eldest brother takes over, I have nothing to say.  But why is it Lao Wu?  Why did I take charge of the most barren Liangzhou, while they all took charge of prosperous places?  Situ Fei was in a state of confusion, and his expression was also changing.

    "Second Young Master?"

    "What's the matter?" Situ Fei woke up immediately.

    "Second Young Master, since things have reached this point, there is no turning back. No matter what you think in your heart, it is already too late to regret. As Nangong Hao of Zhao Jun said, among the princes in the world, Second Young Master will definitely have a place for you." Wang Hewen  Seeing that Situ Fei's face was a little ugly, he repeatedly persuaded him.

    Situ Fei took a deep breath and smiled: "I'm fine! Let's all go down and follow our original plan. I also want to see how they are better than me! I will use facts to prove myself that I am no worse than them!  "

    "What about the Grand Governor Lin Shucheng? Is it" One person made a killing move and said coldly.

    Situ Fei shook his head and said: "No, this person is very intelligent. If he can be used by us, it would be the best."

    "Second Young Master, you want to take him back? I'm afraid it will be difficult!"

    "It all depends on people, if it doesn't work, let's treat it differently!"
