As soon as Zhao Zuoliang said these words, Zhao Kaishan looked at him in great surprise.
He didn't seem to have expected that his uncle, whom he had trusted since he was young, would actually say such a thing.
Why did the clan uncle who had watched him grow up fall in love with Su Yonglin?
How many people around me have turned to Su Yonglin?
His heart suddenly felt cold, and he felt that all trust had suddenly left him.
But Zhao Zuoliang didn't finish his words.
"For the moment, when General Su will come is not the key issue. Now that the army has suffered a new defeat and the morale of the army is unstable, the most important thing is to let the whole army know that General Su will definitely come."
Zhao Zuoliang quietly pointed out the most critical issue for Zhao Kaishan at the moment.
Zhao Kaishan frowned after hearing this, and then suddenly realized something.
Yes, the most critical issue at the moment is not whether Su Yonglin will come, but whether the morale of the military can be stabilized.
At present, the morale of the Liberation Army is unstable!
The war was defeated, and the Liberation Army was beaten back to its original shape. Many people re-realized the fact that they were just a little brat. Facing the ferocious Jin Army, they regained their original fear, and the aura they once had to look down on the world was gone. .
Being afraid of your opponent is a very bad thing. If the golden soldiers take the initiative to attack at this time, whether they can withstand it is really a big problem.
The morale of the army is unstable and the soldiers have no fighting spirit. Once the Jin soldiers' attack momentum increases, it is really difficult to say whether the Liberation Army can withstand this attack.
At this time, it was hard to throw money around, and Li Xiao couldn't support the situation.
Although he was very reluctant, Zhao Kaishan had to admit that the only one in the entire Liberation Army group who could hold up the scene was Su Yonglin, who had won the battle. Only he had enough prestige to make everyone believe that he could defeat the Jin people and stabilize the situation. .
And whether Su Yonglin comes or not is secondary. What matters is whether everyone believes he will come.
As long as the soldiers believe that Su Yonglin is on his way, even if he does not arrive so quickly, then no matter what kind of attack the Jin Army launches, the Liberation Army will at least dare to defend the city and wait for Su Yonglin's arrival.
I have a thought to hold my breath.
This is the key.
Zhao Kaishan looked at Zhao Zuoliang and suddenly felt that the old man was still the best. As expected, the old man of the Zhao family was the most trustworthy.
So Zhao Kaishan nodded and put away his little emotions.
"What you said makes sense. Okay, then send someone to contact the Hussars General and ask him to lead his troops south immediately for reinforcements."
Zhao Kaishan made this decision and sent people to take a detour to Tai'an Prefecture to find Su Yonglin, and immediately spread the news.
Sure enough, the young men in the military camp suddenly seemed to have a backbone. One or two of them no longer said depressing words such as death or death, but were full of confidence in the future.
Saying [As long as General Su is here, everything will get better]
Or "The Shengjie Army was the most capable army, and a few thousand men annihilated 20,000 gold thieves."
Or "General Su is a god descended from heaven. I heard that he can attract thunder from the sky with just a wave of his hand, killing all gold thieves."
All kinds of unbelievable rumors sound a bit funny, but if you think about it carefully, this is indeed the key to stabilizing the morale of the army. The Liberation Army has regained hope and will no longer talk about failure and death.
When these words fell into Zhao Kaishan's ears, he was happy at first. He felt that the problem of army morale had been solved and that he would not be defeated easily.
Then I felt unhappy again.
There was no one else around him at this time, only Zhao Zuoliang was following him. In front of his elders, he didn't worry about being heard by outsiders when he spoke his innermost thoughts. After all, he was the elder who watched him grow up.
"The whole army is looking forward to Yuting so much, so where will they put me?"
Looking at Zhao Kaishan's gloomy expression, Zhao Zuo's conscience also murmured, feeling that Zhao Kaishan, whom he had watched since childhood, was really not very broad-minded and intolerant of others.
This is not a good sign.
It is a fact that Su Yonglin can play. Is it really difficult for you as a leader to accept this fact?
Even if Zhao Zuoliang never liked Su Yonglin, a private salt dealer from the Southern Song Dynasty, he did not deny the status of Su Yonglin's unit as the strongest combat force of the Liberation Army and his resolute anti-gold stance.
But it is not that Zhao Zuoliang cannot understand Zhao Kaishan's emotions.
After all, the previous incident caused a rift in the relationship between Su Yonglin and Zhao Kaishan, who were once brothers, and they were on the verge of falling out with Sun Ziyi.
Su Yonglin, who was now driven away, won the battle, while Zhao Kaishan, the "winner" of the political struggle, lost the battle.
Everyone is rebelling, and the most important thing in rebellion must be military merit. If your military merit is not as good as others, no one will believe that you have the ability to lead everyone to the light.
What kind of leader is this?
Zhao Kaishan's emotions originated from this.
Zhao Zuoliang sighed and slowly enlightened Zhao Kaishan.
"Kaishan, I know what you are thinking, but you must know that the current situation does not allow us to have other thoughts. In this situation, it will be difficult to break the situation without Su Yuting coming."
Zhao Kaishan lowered his head, full of resentment.
"I know, I just... don't feel comfortable."
"Why bother? You are the leader."
"But everyone is looking forward to Yuting, not me. Obviously I am the leader..."
Seeing Zhao Kaishan's resentful look on his face, Zhao Zuoliang suddenly felt speechless.
If you want others to look forward to you, you should lead the troops to win the battle!
Even though we can’t win the battle, we still complain about those who can win the battle…
Zhao Zuoliang would definitely not say this because of his emotional intelligence, so after thinking for a moment, Zhao Zuoliang could only reconcile.
"Su Yuting is good at fighting, which is also a good thing. At least he can deal with the golden thief. The golden thief is right in front of us, ready to kill us. Who else can we rely on if we don't rely on Su Yuting at this time?"
Zhao Kaishan thought about it and felt that what Zhao Zuoliang said was indeed reasonable, so he sighed deeply.
"Why don't I have any confidants who are good at fighting?"
Zhao Zuoliang was silent about this.
A thousand armies are easy to come by, but a general is hard to find. The ancients all knew this. Didn’t Zhao Kaishan know that?
God sent Su Yonglin to him, but he didn't grasp it and took the initiative to push Su Yonglin away.
Now, the problem is big.
When Su Yonglin comes and defeats the Jin soldiers, his prestige is even higher, and everyone points to Su Yonglin's military ability to survive, how should you deal with it?
Zhao Zuoliang did not ask such a question. Asking it now is purely to add trouble to Zhao Kaishan. Zhao Zuoliang does not do such a thing.
But this is something we have to face after all.
Zhao Kaishan fell into a depressed mood.
At the same time, Shuhu Siji was in a very high mood.
He destroyed the morale of the Liberation Army in one battle. Now the Liberation Army is just a bunch of shrunken turtles. It is not worth worrying about at all. However, even so, they are huddled in camps and cities, blocking the Jin Army's way, which is also a trouble.
We must solve it as soon as possible and knock out the main force of the Liberation Army. Then the pacification of Shandong East Road will not be a problem.
Through strict and cruel interrogation of the captured officers and soldiers of the Liberation Army, Shu Husiji determined that the opposite side was the main force of the Liberation Army, an army commanded by the leader of the Liberation Army, Zhao Kaishan.
Therefore, as long as we defeat this army, eat it, and kill the leader of the bandits, Zhao Kaishan, the rebellion will be over.
Seeing the hope of survival, Shuhu Siji became excited, and even felt that he could end this war tomorrow.
Tang Kuobulin felt dissatisfied and had a sense of urgency because his old enemy Wu Gu Lunjige had made contributions, so he also wanted to make contributions and made suggestions to Shuhu Siji.
"Since the rebel army has been defeated by us in the first battle, we will definitely not dare to fight again. With such a great opportunity, why not use the strategy of persuading them to surrender?"
"Persuade to surrender?"
Shuhu Siji frowned.
"Exactly, the commander-in-chief of the unified army can issue a notice to the rebels, saying that this battle will only kill Zhao Kaishan and his tribe, and will not kill the rest of the thieves. As long as they lay down their weapons and give up rebellion, the Kingdom of Jin can forgive them. The sin of ignorance allows them to return to their normal lives.”
Tang Kuobulin slowly put forward his suggestions.
Shuhu Siji was silent for a while.
"The rebels are not only ignorant people, but mainly the Han landlords and gentry. Their rebellion is more terrifying and can bring more people. Do these people also have to be forgiven? The rebellion on the East Road of Shandong, Meng An Mou Ke Hu They have suffered heavy losses, so why don’t we just let them go like this?”
