Qiming 1158

Chapter 413 Xu Lin!you hurt me!

Is it not enough to recover Hebei and Shandong?

Did the Restoration Army spread to other places?
Wanyanliang was a little puzzled, not knowing what Xu Lin meant.

"if not?"

"Your Majesty, has your Majesty ever thought about why the army went all the way south, and no one volunteered to surrender to the army?"

"........."

It's okay not to say this, Wanyan Liang thought about it carefully, and really felt an inexplicable sense of disobedience.

Logically speaking, hundreds of thousands of troops from the imperial court came to attack the bandit army, and their reputation was overwhelming. No matter what, someone should take the initiative to surrender, but until now, there is no one.

Thinking about it again, an inexplicable panic swept Wanyan Liang's heart.

"what do you mean……"

"Hebei people's hearts are attached to thieves."

Xu Lin's face was solemn.

Wanyanliang's fists clenched instantly.

"Impossible! The thieves did not hold the imperial examination, and the hearts of the people in Hebei must not be fully attached!"

"But the thief army is strong and powerful, and once coerced our army. Maybe this situation made the people of Hebei think that the Dajin Kingdom is very weak, and even if he does not sincerely belong to the thief, he will not help me with all his heart."

Xu Lin looked serious, which made Wanyanliang realize that what Xu Lin said was reasonable.

"You mean, they are sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, waiting for the Dajin army and the bandit army to show off?"

"exactly."

"Bastard!"

Wanyanliang's anger level instantly filled up: "Eat all the bastards! I want to kill them all! Kill them all!"

"Your Majesty, this is not the most important thing."

Xu Lin shook his head and said, "The Confucian family only sees pros and cons. It is not difficult for them to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. Whoever wins, they will belong to whomever they win. However, the people of Hebei also follow along and stay strong, never surrendering to the army for forgiveness. It's puzzling."

Wan Yanliang was stunned again.

"People?"

"Yes, people."

Xu Lin said slowly: "The Confucian family knows how to distinguish the pros and cons, and even if they join, they will leave behind, but ordinary people do not have such means. Follow the thieves.

But this is not the case now. In Baozhou, Anzhou, Mozhou, and Bazhou, all the people have moved southward. In Zhending, Boye, and Hejian, people either enter the city or enter the fort, and they are all guards. Do not drop the army.

It is understandable for a few people in one or two places to follow the thief, but what the army sees all the way south, it is not only the people in one or two places who are attached to the thief. what a difference. "

"What are you trying to say? Say it clearly!"

Wan Yanliang was impatient.

Xu Lin didn't go around in circles, and said: "The thief army can carry out the hard work of clearing the field in Hebei, one is to use people with strength, and the other is to support the people's hearts. In a very short period of time, the people of Hebei will give up their lives to accompany them. It is conceivable that the thieves are in the end. How to reach the sky.

If the thieves are followed by the people, they will only defeat the thieves' army. Even if Hebei and Shandong are recaptured, it will be of no avail, and the thieves' army will not be defeated. Therefore, the old minister believes that if Hebei and Shandong are to have long-term peace, they must use the strategy of killing people to kill their hearts. "

"Murder and punish?"

Wanyan Liang narrowed his eyes, and after thinking for a while, looked at Wanyan Ben with a little suspicion, and said, "Tell me about it."

"Here."

Xu Lin's eyes flashed, and he slowly said: "Our army can capture a large number of people in Hebei, preferably the old and the weak, and when the next siege of Hejian, drive the old and weak before the army, and serve as a shield for the army to advance. !"

After Xu Lin finished speaking, all the surrounding generals showed their expressions of astonishment.

Drive away the people first, and let the defenders of the Liberation Army in the city cast their arms against rats?
Then successfully conquer Hejiancheng?
This... this trick sounds quite effective, but... it's too sinister, isn't it?

If this is recorded for people, future generations will be scolded...

The generals looked at Xu Lin with different expressions, wondering how the old guy came up with this method.

Wanyan Benjian looked at Xu Lin with an unhappy face.

"Xu Dujian, you came up with such a sinister trick to dedicate to your majesty, so that your majesty will be recorded a hundred years later when you siege the city, driving the people in front and the army in the back? Do you want your majesty to use a tyrant as a tyrant? Will his face be passed on to future generations?"

Wanyan Benjian and Xu Lin have a bad relationship.

As a member of the Wanyan clan, he naturally had a bad relationship with the favorite ministers of various ethnic groups around Wanyan Liang, and they were hostile to each other, and no one looked down on the other.

As Wanyanliang's favorite minister, Xu Lin, like the other favorite ministers around Wanyanliang, is very disrespectful to Wanyan's old officials of the Wanyan family, fighting for power and interests, and slandering each other.

This time Wanyan Benjian was the chief commander of the left army, and Xu Lin was the governor of Zuodu, which was equivalent to the status of the army supervisor.

Wanyan Liang's original intention should have been to ask Xu Lin to supervise and restrain Wanyan Benjian instead of him, so as not to let him take too much power, so as to ensure the emperor's absolute leadership over the army.

However, because the emperor himself was there, Xu Lin, the Zuo Dujian, could not play any role in supervising the left-leading army.

But it is a fact that the relationship between the two is not good.

Wanyan Ben's words made Wanyan Liang, who had just been a little moved, stunned for a moment, and then looked at Xu Lin with a bad expression.

"Xu Lin, this idea is certainly useful, but people who have used this strategy since ancient times don't seem to have a good reputation, right? It seems a little inappropriate for you to offer such a strategy?"

Wanyan Ben was very happy when he saw it, and felt that he had grasped Wanyan Liang's pulse.

But Xu Lin seemed to have expected Wanyan Benjian to say this.

After a vicious glance at Wanyan Ben, Xu Lin held his head high.

"This is the plan that the minister suggested to Wanyan Benjian, the chief governor of the left army. After thinking about it, the chief governor decisively adopted my strategy and had many plans with me in private.

And while I was discussing the strategy, His Majesty was sick and didn't know about it at all. He entrusted the military affairs of the whole army to me and the Grand Governor. It was not until Hejian City was captured that His Majesty learned of it.

After His Majesty learned about this, he deeply thought that it was inappropriate to do so, so he deeply blamed the ministers and the governor, punished us, and set up an altar in Hejian to pay homage to the people of Hejian who suffered for no reason. "

Xu Lin showed the script he had designed for Wanyanliang, and explained the key plots in it.

When the generals heard this, they were all stunned, and then looked at Wanyan Ben together.

Wanyan Ben was also stunned for a moment, then shocked.

He really didn't expect Xu Lin to do such a detrimental thing to others, he... is he a lunatic?
Wanyan Benjian hadn't reacted yet, but Wanyan Liang did.

His heart was greatly relieved.

It turns out that there are still people who think about me wholeheartedly instead of themselves!
Xu Lin!You are the one who is dedicated to me!

So Wanyanliang happily stepped forward and grabbed Xu Lin's hand, applauding, "I never thought Xu Dujian would be so loyal, Xu Qing, you will live up to me!"

"It is the duty of the minister to work hard for His Majesty."

Xu Lin had a selfless look on his face, and he got along with Wanyan Liang's monarch and ministers, and he was a perfect picture.

However, through the figures of the two, Wanyan Ben, who was standing opposite, looked quite embarrassed.

No one inside or out this time.

Xu Lin was really willing to be cut all over, and he had to pull this old guy off his horse.

Do something like this?
It doesn't matter, he has no sympathy, let alone the slightest sympathy for this group of Han traitors.

But he was worried that the person who would give him a biography after his death would write down what happened today, which would go against his life-long open and upright conduct.

He did kill people like hemp, but he was also an upright enemy who killed on the battlefield. He was a soldier all his life, and suddenly there was a record of "driving the people first", which was discordant no matter what.

But if you don't follow Xu Lin's intentions and talk about it...

Isn't it just unwilling to share the blame for the Lord?

Wanyanliang was very particular about the distinction between monarch and his ministers, and he was very particular about the moral standards between monarchs and ministers. The so-called humiliation and death of a minister is an infamy. If the ministers can help share the burden, why not?
Does the emperor have to take it personally?

Wouldn't this minister be a little insightful and help the emperor to take the blame?

Xu Lin is already on the board, but his identity is not enough. He can't bear this big black pot alone, and he needs another big man with a heavier weight to carry it with him.

This person is Wanyan Benjian.

Xu Lin!you hurt me!
