Qiming 1158

Chapter 1199 He would rather die than that kind of wisdom
In Jiangxi at that time, in the face of the siege of the Southern Song army, not only could they use inferior troops to counterattack, but they could also fight for thousands of miles all the way to Lin'an, and finally even retreated completely.

10,000+ Song soldiers surrounded him and thousands of people were helpless, and they didn't even dare to approach him, so that he successfully escaped from the Lin'an city.

This courage, this decisiveness, this overall view, are all the best choices.

After learning about this, Su Yonglin admired Xu Tong very much, and saw the potential of him to become a famous general through the ages, so he entrusted him with the important task of training him after the war.

When there was such a daunting task now, Su Yonglin also thought of him.

After inquiring a little about what Xu Tong is doing now, Su Yonglin was pleasantly surprised to learn that Xu Tong is now in Zhongdu.

It seems that he felt that he was lacking in cultural theory, and felt that he was still lacking, so after the army completed the reorganization work and was on the right track, he made a report requesting to go to the cadre training class at the headquarters of the Zhongdu Revival Association to study in depth to make up for his own shortcomings. shortcomings.

A general who is willing to strengthen his learning skills is a promising general.

The Organization Department allowed Xu Tong's request, so Xu Tong took several military cadres and political cadres in the Yiyong Army that he was optimistic about to go to the Zhongdu Cadre Training Course to charge for further studies. It has been more than three months.

If I really want to sleep, someone brings a pillow.

Su Yonglin immediately sent someone to call Xu Tong to the palace and received Xu Tong.

"Have you come to Zhongdu for more than three months, do you feel that your knowledge has improved? Apart from studying in the training class, what books have you read recently?"

"In addition to the teaching materials in the training class, I also read some biographies of famous generals in the history books of the dynasties and dynasties."

Xu Tong said with a smile: "I always feel that I am now a serious general. I need to take responsibility for the 3 soldiers under my command. I can no longer lead everyone to fight with my own will like before, so I must Learn more things, political and military, you have to learn a lot.”

"this is necessary."

Su Yonglin nodded with satisfaction: "Since ancient times, if a famous general wants to be successful, defend his merits, and end his deeds, he must not only be good at using troops, but also understand politics. A general who doesn't understand politics but is very capable of fighting will often not end well. So, what biographies of famous generals have you read?"

"I read Wang Jian's biography, Xiang Yu's biography and Han Xin's biography."

Xu Tong smiled and said: "When I was still in the mountains of Jiangxi, Director Zhao told me that these three people are very representative of the three people, and the biographies of these three people will make me want to read them in the future. After reading, intensive reading, and reading through the biographies of these three people, you will be able to understand the way of the general in a certain sense.”

"This is what I told Yucheng."

Su Yonglin smiled and said, "I read Yucheng as a disciple, so I passed on all my reading experience and insights to Yucheng, and told him how to read and which books to read. I have biographies of these three people. I find it very interesting, and I must read it and understand it.

When I understand Wang Jian, I understand the way of survival of generals. When I understand Xiang Yu, I understand the way to destroy generals. When I understand Han Xin, I understand how to choose generals. I was the first to read it, and I also felt that The biographies of these three men are the most worthwhile to read. "

Nodding, Su Yonglin looked at Xu Tong.

"So, which of these three do you think is most worthy of your appreciation?"

Xu Tong was silent for a while, then raised his head to look at Su Yonglin.

"I don't appreciate any of them. I admire their achievements and ability to use troops, but I don't like any of their characters and choices."

"Oh?"

Su Yonglin smiled and asked, "Why? Ordinary people would choose to admire Wang Jian."

Xu Tong shook his head.

"According to common sense, Wang Jian is the only one of the three who died in a good way. Ordinary people will appreciate Wang Jian, but for the sake of survival and personal desires, he puts the property belonging to the state or the people in his own name, at the expense of the people's well-being. the well-being of themselves and their children and grandchildren.

In my opinion, this is wrong after all. Some people say that Wang Jian is smart and understands politics, but this kind of political wisdom that sacrifices the interests of the people in order to protect himself, I would rather die than want. "

Su Yonglin paused after hearing this, then asked with a smile, "What about Han Xin and Xiang Yu?"

"Both of them seem to have put all their wits into fighting, and have fatal flaws elsewhere."

Xu Tong frowned and said, "Xiang Yu is brave and unreasonable, mean and unkind, overly believing that force can destroy everything, ignoring the importance of people's hearts, thus losing people's hearts, being isolated by Liu Bang, and finally defeated by the Wujiang River, becoming the descendant of the future. Lessons learned.

Han Xin is a soldier like a god. On the battlefield, ten Liu Bangs are not his opponents, but when it comes to other things, he is extremely indecisive. He wants to do big things but dare not do it. The hand is actually a laughing stock. "

"It sounds like you don't like all three of them."

Su Yonglin leaned back on the chair, looked at Xu Tong, and asked with a smile: "These three are already very good famous generals, and you don't like them very much, so through the ages, who can meet your requirements for famous generals? Wei Qing? Huo Qubing? Liu Yu? Li Jing? Li Ji?"

"Su Yonglin."

Xu Tong stared at Su Yonglin and said, "Famous generals from ancient and modern times, the only one who can convince me of the inferiority, is right in front of me."

Su Yonglin really didn't expect Xu Tong to blurt out his name.

He laughed dumbly and pointed to himself.

"I?"

"Correct."

Xu Tong nodded: "Throughout the ages, you have been regarded as a famous general, and you are the only one who has let me down in personal conduct and political integrity."

Su Yonglin was immediately amused.

"Your choice really surprised me."

"It's not surprising, aren't you a famous general?"

Xu Tong spread his hands and said with a smile: "Thousands of troops raised an army, and in just three years, they overthrew the huge Jin Kingdom with hundreds of thousands of troops. During this period, he did not lose a single defeat. Everyone regards you as a man from heaven, and your achievements are unique even in the entire history of China."

"Am I that good?"

Su Yonglin was a little embarrassed by what he said: "But speaking of this, I have been out of the front-line battlefield for a long time, and I haven't led troops for a long time. I am not a general now, just a person who handles government affairs."

"No matter what you think about yourself, I will never dismiss you as a unique player because of these things."

Xu Tong smiled and said: "And what's more special is that you did not use this unique ability to seek any benefit for yourself, but did your best to seek the well-being of the people. The starting point of all your actions is to seek the well-being of the people. And succeeded, this alone is enough to make you surpass all the ancient famous generals.

They may be fighting for their own fame through the ages, or they may be fighting for fame and wealth, or they may be fighting to repay the benefactor who promoted them, but no one really fights for the people, so it is worth admiring only their use of soldiers. technique, and no other. "

Su Yonglin was silent for a moment.

When he was guiding Zhao Yucheng to study, Zhao Yucheng also told him that he did not appreciate these people very much, and he always felt that these people were not very suitable for the current situation.

So Su Yonglin told him that these three revolutionaries should not study.

Wang Jian was tolerant and compromising, Xiang Yu was impulsive and aggressive, and Han Xin was swaying from side to side.

The shortcomings of these three people are the big taboos of revolutionaries. If you understand these three people, you can see the three reasons and endings for the failure of revolutionaries.

At that time, Su Yonglin also told Zhao Yucheng with a smile that if he had any newcomers he admired in the future, he would also introduce the biographies of these three people to him to see what he could read.

Only by seeing through the complete failure of these three lines can we see the integrity and determination of a revolutionist.

They are no longer feudal generals, they don't need any ignorant loyalty to the king, they need to learn not only military wisdom, but also political lessons.

Now it seemed that the newcomer Zhao Yucheng valued was Xu Tong, and Xu Tong did not live up to Zhao Yucheng's expectations.

"It turns out that this is how you look at this matter... So, in your opinion, a real famous general must not only have attainments in the military, but also have enough integrity?"
