Chapter 69 The clever Han Sui

Han Sui was shocked when he heard that his main force, which was mainly Qiang cavalry, was killed and defeated, and the number of the opponent was far less than this Qiang cavalry. This news meant at least two things.

.

The first is that the troops he sent out to block the Dashan Pass were a little slow, allowing the elite cavalry led by Xiang Yu to come out in advance. The second point is that the combat effectiveness of this cavalry team led by Xiang Yu is very terrifying.

He has the most powerful cavalry unit. These Qiang cavalry can be said to be the core component of his army's combat effectiveness. If they cannot defeat Xiang Yu, then the problem will be very serious.

Thinking of this, Han Sui couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. He said that he had never heard of such a prominent figure in the Eastern Han Dynasty before. At this time, Han Sui had unknowingly begun to quit. He knew that after this scene

After a disastrous defeat, there will inevitably be many disharmonious voices within the army he commands.

Even though their troops seem to be very large, this young man named Xiang Ji is too fierce. Now he is completely out of his control. The number of troops he commanded before was very small, and once he and Zhang

The main force of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which was gentle to Dong Zhuo, gathered together and then fought all the way. I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to defeat them.

If this is really the case, it would be better to be wise and retreat while there is still a chance, decisively abandon this area, and retreat to Xiliang first. On the one hand, winter is coming soon, and the problem of food supply will become more and more prominent.

, if the troops of the Eastern Han Dynasty dare to continue to attack themselves at this time, then when the time comes to lure them to their own territory to fight, then the chance of winning will be much greater.

Han Sui made up his mind, so he called his generals together to discuss whether to stay or leave. He wanted to take this opportunity to find out what his generals really thought.

Sure enough, after this meeting, the internal conflicts among the troops began to gradually come to the fore, especially after the Qiang cavalry was defeated.

The Han generals began to retaliate verbally, and their words were full of provocation and sarcasm. However, these Qiang generals were not very good-natured and could not bear such anger.

A smell of gunpowder immediately filled the meeting, but Han Sui stood aside and watched with cold eyes. He neither added fuel to jealousy nor stepped in to stop him. He just watched the development of things silently. No one knew what he was thinking at this time.

What.

Originally a meeting to discuss the withdrawal of troops, it gradually turned into a state of trash talk between the Qiang and Han generals. The question of whether to withdraw the troops has also become a somewhat controversial topic. A large number of generals,

Both the Qiang generals and the Han generals believed that it was absolutely impossible to retreat at this time. There is no reason to retreat after suffering a small loss. If you say it, it will make the world laugh. Besides, they are still strong.

You must find opportunities to make up for the losses you suffered before, otherwise you will not be able to swallow anything you say.

However, some generals still maintained the necessary rationality. They opposed the continuation of meaningless fighting and believed that this expedition did not achieve the original expected effect. How much food and supplies would be consumed by an army of nearly 100,000 people? If it continues like this,

There will be no benefit at all, and winter is approaching, and many soldiers have not prepared winter clothes. If they continue to fight, their combat effectiveness and morale will not be guaranteed, so retreating is a wise move.

Neither side could convince the other, but Han Sui also found that generally speaking, the generals supported the withdrawal, so Han Sui announced that he would put the issue aside for the time being and let him think carefully before making a decision.

Han Sui had already made his decision in his heart, but why he didn't directly announce his decision at this time? The reason was actually that he felt that although the number of generals who opposed the withdrawal was less than the number of generals who supported the withdrawal, the overall number was still quite large.

, if he makes a decision directly like this, it is likely to arouse their dissatisfaction, and may even accelerate the internal division of the entire army, which is absolutely unacceptable to Han Sui.

Although he was elected as the commander-in-chief of this rebel army, and he has done a good job for a period of time, and has gained the unanimous trust and support of most people, the contradiction between the Qiang people and the Han people has always existed and has existed for a long time.

Yes, it has even been intensifying in the past many years, and Han Sui has no way to fundamentally solve this conflict. All he can do is to temporarily put aside the conflict between the two parties and cooperate for a common goal.

.

Once a huge setback is encountered in the process of achieving this common goal, it is likely that the originally shelved contradiction will become the main contradiction again, leading to the collapse of the internal unity and alliance that was finally established.

In order to solve this problem, Han Sui decided to adopt a relatively stupid method, which was to personally meet with the generals who opposed the withdrawal one by one.

As the commander-in-chief, Han Sui would actually feel a little powerless when faced with a group of generals. As long as they all spoke in unison and firmly maintained their own ideas, Han Sui could not force them to change their minds.

But if you spread them out and talk to them one by one, you might be able to find some opportunities and solutions, because in fact everyone's personality and actual demands are different. They support or oppose a certain opinion.

The reasons and starting points may be different, so if Han Sui can find the root cause of these problems and then prescribe the right medicine, he may be able to change their minds, at least temporarily.

As a result, Han Sui met alone from morning to night with more than a dozen generals who opposed the withdrawal, including Qiang generals and Han generals. Han Sui did not express his thoughts and decisions right away, but

Communicate with the other person calmly and like a friend, such as asking about the other person's life experience, whether they have a wife and children at home, whether they have any old parents and other trivial matters, and also ask some seemingly useless topics such as why they rebelled.

.

However, the effect of this method is still very good. Many generals expressed their desire to go home during the conversation. Even though they still said that they did not want to withdraw, it could be seen that there had been some changes in their attitudes.

and wavered, and then Han Sui took the opportunity to say that the retreat was only temporary, and they would definitely come back next year, to cheer up these generals again, or to draw a new picture.

of pie.

After Han Sui's patient persuasion, most of the generals who originally opposed the withdrawal finally changed their attitudes and agreed to withdraw, so Han Sui temporarily resolved the current problem. Although internal conflicts and divisions still existed, Han Sui still
