Chapter 134 Zhao Zuoliang's Emotional Intelligence is Very High
As a political leader, one must have the ability to discern right from wrong.

Zhao Kaishan realized that the most urgent thing at the moment was to punish the person directly responsible for the defeat, and to cut the person responsible for the defeat and himself to the greatest extent, so that the soldiers could not think that defeat was equivalent to Zhao Kaishan, and Zhao Kaishan could not take the blame.

For this reason, Zhao Kaihe and Zhao Yucheng, who had abandoned the soldiers and fled back, had to sacrifice, and the cauldron had to be carried on their backs.

Resisting all kinds of complicated emotions, Zhao Kaishan dismissed the two of them from their positions of commanding officer, slapped the two of them to the end, relieved the two of them from their military command, and let them bear the most direct consequences.

In this way, on the one hand, it can show that the defeat has nothing to do with him, and he is also very angry. On the other hand, he can express his determination to continue to fight and calm people's hearts.

This is a decision that must be made.

Of course, this is not enough. Next, he will reward Li Xiao.

"Li Xiao, the commander of the Youyi Army, responded in a timely manner to prevent the golden thieves from continuing to attack. He has made great contributions and will be rewarded! In addition, he will be transferred to the commander of the Beiwei Army, Li Xiao, and the Beiwei Army will be handed over to you!"

Although Li Xiao sent troops without his order, he did the right thing. Without his timely response, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Zhao Kaishan has no time to consider whether Li Xiao's behavior is appropriate. At this critical moment, Li Xiao, the only one who has made military exploits to repel the Jin army, must stand up and divert everyone's attention.

The Beiwei Army is the most elite army of the Guangfu Army. Although it has lost more than 2000 soldiers, it is still the most elite. Making Li Xiao the commander and replacing Zhao Yucheng's position is enough to show that Zhao Kaishan attaches great importance to Li Xiao.

In this way, Li Xiao has become everyone's only hope at present, diverting part of their attention, and Zhao Kaishan temporarily appeases people's hearts.

Then Zhao Kaishan handed over the command of the Tabai Army to his relative Zhao Zuoliang, and the command of You Yijun was handed over to the trusted general Chen Zuo, and promoted the slightly younger Chen Zuo and his clan uncle Zhao Zuoliang to replace them, which can be regarded as continuing to hold military power.

The Zhao family and cronies did not lose control of the military as a result.

But this is far from enough. The crisis of the Restoration Army is close at hand, and it cannot be solved by one or two people's resignation and reassignment.

Even if Li Xiao attacked with the entire Beiwei Army, he should not be the opponent of the Jin Army. The cavalry of the Jin Army is too powerful. Zhao Kaishan urgently needs to come up with a corresponding strategy to deal with the current strength of the Jin Army.

Obviously, the current situation is that the Restoration Army has lost the initiative, and the initiative in the battlefield is grasped by the Jin Army.

How the Jin Army will fight after that is the matter of the Jin Army. The Restoration Army has basically lost the courage to walk out of the camp and the Jin Army will fight in the field.

There are two paths now.

The first was to insist on defense, and then turned into a tortoise, waiting for the logistics and transportation of Jinbing to keep up, so he took the initiative to retreat.

This is a bit difficult. There are many villages and residents around the county. Jin Jun can loot a little bit, and it is always possible to support it for a month.

And the Restoration Army here...

Zhao Kaishan thought about it, and there was only one way left to ask for help.

Sun Ziyi absolutely didn't want to provoke him, so Su Yonglin was the only one who asked for help.

but……

As the leader of the Restoration Army, asking for help from his subordinates, isn't this a very shameful act?

If he did this, what would the generals and soldiers of the Restoration Army think of him as a leader?

Can he still do it as a leader?
Can you continue to lead this anti-gold uprising?
All kinds of doubts and worries filled Zhao Kaishan's heart, making him unable to make a decision.

Zhao Xiang, who had always helped him with bad ideas, was left behind by him because he was not good at fighting. He was in charge of logistics. Zhao Kaihe and Zhao Yucheng were both defeated and could no longer help him as counselors.

For a time, Zhao Kaishan suddenly felt that there were not many trustworthy people around him, as if everyone could not take on big things and would always disappoint himself.

It was at this time that Li Xiao felt that he had to say a few words in this situation no matter what.

"Commander, I have a suggestion, I don't know if I should say it or not."

Zhao Kaishan was in the middle of nowhere, and when he heard Li Xiao's suggestion, he immediately nodded.

"You said."

"In the current situation, the subordinates think that the golden thief is strong, the cavalry is elite, and our army is in decline.

"foreign aid……"

Zhao Kaishan pursed his lips and said, "Are you saying that the Linyi army should be dispatched, or a call for the rest of the army to come to support Feixian?"

"None of them. My subordinates think that they should quickly send someone to ask the hussar general of Tai'an Prefecture to come to help. Tai'an Prefecture is very close to Fei County, so it is the best choice."

Li Xiao made his own suggestion.

Zhao Kaishan was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Li Xiao with a complicated expression.

It was the proposal he was concerned about.

He Zhao Kaishan didn't know that Su Yonglin was the greatest hope of the Restoration Army at present, and he was also the person closest to and most likely to relieve the siege. This was the most correct behavior.

But this is logically militarily, but it is a complete show of weakness in politics!
The leader of the Restoration Army had superior troops but could not defeat the Jin Army, so he had to ask his subordinates for help. This was a politically weak thing!
An incompetent leader who has lost a battle asks for help from a powerful general who won a battle, and then what?What should I do?
He was immediately dissatisfied with Li Xiao, and felt that Li Xiao did not consider him as the leader at all, which was politically incorrect.

If you give advice, at least you should consider political issues, right?

However, thinking that Li Xiao has always been straight and doesn't know much about politics, it's not easy to expect him to say something in a scene, so Zhao Kaishan didn't have an attack on the spot even though he looked bad.

"This... The hussar general's department has just experienced the war, and it would be too embarrassing for them to come to the rescue at this time? And now that the order is issued, when will he be able to come? Far can't quench the thirst of the near."

Zhao Kaishan's words were vague and vague.

There are smart people present who have heard Zhao Kaishan's implication and felt Zhao Kaishan's embarrassing situation at the moment, but Li Xiao, who is not good at observing words, still insists on his own opinion.

"Leader, the hussar general is bent on fighting against gold. As long as the leader has his life, he will definitely come to help! Tai'an is not far from here. After the hussar general gets the order, he will be able to come to help in a few days, not far away. water."

Zhao Kaishan frowned, feeling even more unhappy.

He felt inexplicably anxious.

[I know that he is bent on fighting gold, so what?You didn't think about me? 】

Zhao Kaishan was irritable, but Chen Qiaoshan, who came out of the city to attend the meeting, also agreed with Li Xiao's opinion.

"The commander-in-chief, the hussar general's Shengjie army is very elite. They have just won the victory over the golden thieves, and their morale is high. They will definitely be able to attack our army before and after, and defeat the golden thief army!"

Zhao Kaishan looked at Chen Qiaoshan again, feeling more irritable in his heart.

[I know he can fight, so what?Can't you think about it for me?Consider the political implications!Political influence! 】

The persuasion of the two generals did not make Zhao Kaishan feel at all relieved, but made him even more irritable and nervous.

At this critical moment, Zhao Zuoliang, the elder Zhao Zuoliang, who had just been promoted to the commander of the White Army, suddenly realized what the crux of the problem was.

Zhao Zuoliang is Zhao Kaishan's uncle. He is more than 40 years old. He has always been calm and experienced in dealing with people.

Zhao Kaishan's father died when he was young. Before he became an adult, Zhao Zuoliang actually managed the Zhao family. After Zhao Kaishan became an adult, Zhao Kaishan actually took over the suzerainty of the Zhao family.

Therefore, Zhao Zuoliang is also very trusted by Zhao Kaishan.

Because he is sophisticated, good at observing words and emotions, and has a high emotional intelligence, Zhao Zuoliang quickly discovered the reason why Zhao Kaishan was upset.

He knew what was most important to the Guangfu Army at the moment, and at the same time, he also knew that if he couldn't ease the awkwardness in Zhao Kaishan's heart, Su Yonglin would not be able to come, and the Guangfu Army would suffer.

With this thought in mind, Zhao Zuoliang, who had never had a good impression of Su Yonglin, decided to do something.

He stood up and made his suggestion clear.

"Leader, I think that the suggestion of Chen and Li to control is correct. At this critical moment, it is the most correct and appropriate move to have the Hussar general come to help. The subordinates are supportive."
