Chapter 39 Zhang Shicheng's Choice

After everyone was happy, they suddenly thought of a question, that is, how did the declining Han army kill 80,000 people?

Everyone knows that Fu Youde is the one who leads the army. This man's ability is not much worse than that of Zhang Dingbian. If he wins a game, it is understandable that he will completely eliminate the 80,000 army. It is absolutely impossible to do without at least 60,000 elite soldiers.

So, the Han army still has a powerful force, where did this force come from?

Lu Zhen said: "Can the King of Wu give his ministers a look on the letter?"

Zhang Shicheng handed him the letter.

Lu Zhen looked carefully and was shocked.

He is a man who has been leading troops to fight for many years, so he naturally knows the principle of hurting one thousand enemies and 800 themselves. If he defeats the enemy and lets him defeat it, it would be amazing. However, more than 20,000 people died in the Jiangzhou battle, which is not considered the wounded. You can imagine the tragic battle of this battle.

You should know that when the war reaches a certain level, as the number of deaths increases, the soldiers on both sides will become timid, because if you want to kill your opponent, the other party will definitely resist with the death to death. He will never let you stab the sword into your body easily.

Since everyone knows the feeling of death, of course they will not force each other too much. As long as someone escapes, the chasing person will never bite him. As the saying goes, dogs are desperate and rabbits are eager to bite people.

But in the battle of Jiangzhou, tens of thousands of casualties were killed or injured, which shows that the soldiers on both sides were loyal to the main general and put their lives aside. This shows how strong the commander's appeal is in this battle.

It is not surprising that Wu Jun has Fu Youde. He is an outstanding general in this field, but the Han Jun is strange. It is not that Zhang Dingbian controls the overall situation, but a new Han King, the idiot second prince, how could he shoulder such a high-end task?

What's even more strange is, who is that mysterious general?

Is there such a general in the Han army? Such a brave general in the world is not as good as Zhang Dingbian. So who is he? He is not ignorant, so why have he never heard of this person?

The most terrifying person is also a powerful charisma. He actually made a group of low-level soldiers burst out with amazing combat power in an instant, and the peak of personal combat power reached its peak. This is the highest level of military governance that every general dreams of.

The more Lu Zhen thought about it, the more frightened he became. He slowly put down the letter and said, "What do you think of the King of Wu?"

Zhang Shicheng said: "The situation is very good, and our pressure has been greatly reduced."

Lu Zhen said: "This news is undoubtedly the news we originally hoped to hear, but doesn't the King of Wu find it strange?"

Zhang Shicheng looked at Lu Zhen in confusion and said, "What is the wonder?"

"The leader of the army."

"The leader?"

Zhang Shicheng blinked his eyes a few times, thought for a while, and said, "Yes, I'm a little strange. If Chen Youliang defeated Fu Youde, it wouldn't be surprising at all, but..."

Lu Zhen said: "Yes, all this is just because of the mysterious general of the God of Killing. He almost used his power to win over the building. How could Mo Jiang feel like this man fell from the sky?"

Li Bosheng said: "Yes, the general of the Mo is traveling all over the country and has a wide range of experiences. But I have never heard of such a hero in the world. The general of the Mo is also feeling that this general who swept through thousands of troops is like a god descending from the sky."

Zhang Shicheng frowned, lowered his head and thought for a long time, and said, "Brothers have said something, I have to investigate this matter carefully."

Li Xingsu looked at the mixed expressions of everyone and said to Zhang Shicheng: "Since the situation has changed, should we reconsider the surrender?"

Zhang Shixin threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground and said loudly: "Of course, the current situation is what we want, so what money and food should we send to the Tartars? Everyone's good life is still the same."

He clapped his hands and talked and laughed, and he was so happy that he had just lost his depression.

Zhang Shicheng looked at Li Xingsu and said, "What do the Prime Minister have any ideas?"

Li Xingsu said: "The situation in the world is changing rapidly. Today you are strong, tomorrow he is weak, today he is weak, tomorrow he is strong. The way to establish a hero does not entirely depend on who has the number of soldiers, but on who has made the most mistakes."

"The King of Wu used to be content with a corner and did not want to compete for the world, but there must be someone in the world. As long as one stands out, the rest of the heroes will decline and even die."

"The King of Wu has been kings, surrendered, refused alliances, and protected himself in recent years. Although it is absolutely necessary to do so everywhere, I think these measures have many disadvantages and fewer advantages, so the results have not been fulfilled. Now that the situation has suddenly changed, the King of Wu should reconsider its original policies and strategies."

Li Xingsu said these words to Zhang Shicheng more than once, but Zhang Shicheng laughed it off, and Li Xingsu could only sigh secretly.

He understood that one day the King of Wu would regret it. At that time, perhaps it was the time when the Eastern Wu army entered the abyss.

Now, things have reversed. He hopes that Zhang Shicheng will wake up, prepare for his troops from now on, no longer settled with the status quo, and die in the beautiful wine goddess.

Zhang Shicheng sighed and said, "What the Prime Minister said is very true, but I, Zhang, don't want my brothers and soldiers to fight on the battlefield for many years, and eat and stay in the camp."

"When a person has only one life, he will die, and he will die less. Isn't this the wish of most people? Whether it is a general or a soldier, there are parents, children, relatives and families. Who doesn't want to have a stable life?"

"I think of me, Zhang Shicheng, the Eighteen Carrying Poles, isn't it because I can't survive? If I could have a stable life at the beginning, Zhang would never have lived such a life of making wealth by killing people and plundering the land. Now, it's hard for everyone to have a place to stand. Isn't everyone's wish to not fight or shed blood?"

Li Xingsu sighed: "The King of Wu is kind-hearted, and the soldiers and the people are obvious to all. This is of course a blessing for everyone and a place where I, as a minister, are grateful."

"The ancients said that every man is innocent and is guilty of possessing a treasure. The King of Wu lives in a wealthy land in the southeast, with countless treasures, money and food. Many leaders of the rebel army want to get a share of the pie. The so-called wealthy family, neighbors envy it, wealthy households, and thieves peek at it."

"The King of Wu is satisfied with those who covet, but the world is in chaos and will sooner or later be unified. As a prince, the King of Wu either depends on others or dominates the world. The former means humiliation, and the latter means laborious. The King of Wu always has to make a choice. Which road is the best?"

Zhang Shicheng sighed, he was unwilling to choose these two paths.

Li Xingsu's voice suddenly became excited and said, "Since a real man is unwilling to eat the food he gives, he must strive to be the best person."

"Based on the benevolence and righteousness of the King of Wu, as long as you are willing to plan the world, those heroes will definitely join in and serve. It is just that because the King of Wu is not enterprising, those heroes with ambition are unwilling to follow, resulting in the limited number of civil and military officials and generals available under the King of Wu."

"The King of Wu also felt the crisis in the aftermath of the Battle of Poyang Lake. If someone like Zhu Yuanzhang wins the world, then the King of Wu will be worried about being a couch. The soldiers in the southeast can change their camps. King of Wu, you have no choice."

Zhang Shicheng listened to Li Xingsu's generous words blankly. Of course he understood these principles, but he no longer had the enthusiasm of his youth, because he felt deeply that he was unable to do so, as if he was missing something.
