In this battle, Su Yonglin did not directly support Zhao Kaishan, but used Zhao Kaishan to contain the main force of the Jin army and directly attack Dongping Mansion.
He took advantage of the situation and captured Dongping Mansion, and then quickly moved into Yanzhou to cut off the Jin army's logistics. The entire situation suddenly changed dramatically.
The main force of the Jin Army collapsed, and there was no longer an organized Jin Army in Shandong that could compete with the Liberation Army. The scattered small fish and shrimps would only be drowned in the huge crowds of the Liberation Army.
Now that the transportation hub was captured by Su Yonglin, he also gained prestige and people's hearts.
Su Yonglin got almost everything.
As the leader, Zhao Kaishan himself did not get anything that made him happy.
So when he thought about this, he became very unhappy, and his unhappiness further aroused his suspicion.
If he cannot control Dongping Mansion, it will be difficult for him to further and completely control Daming Mansion Road. As for whether he can enter Guanzhong in the future, it is also a fact that remains to be discussed.
Once Su Yonglin takes control of Dongping Mansion, he can enter Daming Mansion Road, and further west, quickly enter Guanzhong.
If Su Yonglin plans to enter Guanzhong and control Guanzhong, it will be very bad for Zhao Kaishan.
Although the relationship between the two is nominally superior and subordinate, Zhao Kaishan has taken the initiative to push him out. Su Yonglin is actually a semi-independent force. In addition to still under the banner of the Liberation Army, domestic affairs, diplomacy and military affairs are almost independent of him. control.
This was true in the past, it is true now, and it will be true in the future.
This made Zhao Kaishan feel particularly bad.
"No, we can't just give him Dongping Mansion so easily. Uncle, do you have any good ideas? It's really important for me to master Dongping Mansion. If I can't master Dongping Mansion, there will be big problems in marching and fighting in the future."
Zhao Kaishan looked at Zhao Zuoliang nervously.
It is true that Zhao Zuoliang is good at dealing with interpersonal relationships and logistical issues, but talking about these struggles and strategic goals is really not his strong suit.
He can be a good diplomat, but he is really not good at military issues.
He thought for a long time and could only shake his head helplessly, feeling that there was nothing that could be done about it.
"Kaishan, this matter is really difficult to deal with. Dongping Mansion was defeated by him. In this case, what should we do to get him to give up Dongping Mansion? Maybe even if he is willing, his subordinates will not willing.
Su Yuting is getting bigger and stronger now, more and more people are following him, and his power is getting bigger and bigger. Those people only know him and don't know the leader of the Liberation Army. Once something happens, he will definitely fight with him. He stood together.
As long as he gives some benefits to the people of Dongping Prefecture to satisfy their appetite, then the people of Dongping Prefecture will definitely stand with him and not with us. "
Zhao Kaishan felt very unhappy after hearing this.
"Then use the same method you used to deal with Sun Ziyi again?"
"Sun Ziyi was unprepared before. With Su Yuting's intelligence, how can he be unprepared now? The same technique won't work if used twice!"
Zhao Zuoliang shook his head repeatedly.
After hearing this, Zhao Kaishan was silent for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly: "His power is getting stronger and stronger. It's better for me, the leader, to let him have the final say."
Zhao Zuoliang stopped talking.
Zhao Kaishan is really powerless to do anything about this kind of thing. He is greedy, jealous and helpless, and is furious at the same time.
As for Su Yonglin, of course he was not drunk, he was just pretending to be drunk. After returning to the military tent, he lay on the bed alone and stared at the top of the military tent in a daze.
He actually likes to be alone, but often he doesn't have that time to be alone because time is tight and he has countless things to do, but he can never finish them.
But some thinking must be done when alone and in a very calm situation, so that he can think about many things clearly and make some clear decisions.
Such as what to do after this war.
The changes this war brought to the entire situation are quite obvious.
The first point is that Su Yonglin's own prestige has greatly increased, confirming his status as the first general of the Liberation Army, which cannot be shaken in a short time.
This name can bring you many benefits, but it can also cause a troublesome thing called suspicion.
Zhao Kaishan has never been a very broad-minded person, Su Yonglin can be sure of this.
Not long after the initial contact, Su Yonglin could feel that Zhao Kaishan seemed cheerful and forthright, but in fact he was sensitive, suspicious and a little fragile inside. This kind of person was actually not that easy to get along with.
When dealing with Sun Ziyi before, Su Yonglin found that Zhao Kaishan's mind and magnanimity were a bit pitiful. Once something bad happened, his little heart would start beating restlessly, and he would find ways to do bad things. .
He has just won the first stage of victory, but he is going to engage in political struggle and use extremely crude means to engage in political events. He is really short-sighted.
How many states did you occupy just now?
Is this necessary to confirm one's own authority and not allow subordinates to obtain the benefits they deserve?
In order to become emperor, Liu Bang even went as far as reversing the course of history and establishing feudal states. He broke the earth and made kings for others, allowing them to be real kings and gain real power. Although he later disposed of them, he was still Really accomplished this.
This shows that people who do big things don't need to care so much about temporary benefits. If necessary, they can give up part of their benefits to obtain greater benefits, as long as they keep themselves in a situation where they don't lose money.
This is a matter of principle in political exchange.
If you really can't get angry, you can write it down in a small notebook, and wait until your power position is consolidated and your personal prestige is established before you can revisit the old scores. Then it will be easier to take action and the success rate will be higher.
How can anyone come to settle old scores just after winning?
As soon as he won, he couldn't wait to get the best in his arms, and he didn't care about it at all. So in the period after that, Su Yonglin received several secret letters, all from local forces trying to make friends with him. of temptation.
They are also the more prestigious local forces in the area controlled by Zhao Kaishan.
Su Yonglin maintained a certain amount of contact with them in a fictitious manner, but it did not involve actual discussions of interests.
Because at this moment, he has no idea of replacing Zhao Kaishan and cannot follow the facts.
But if Zhao Kaishan torments his own people like this, how can they not be worried and frightened?
But thinking about it this way, Su Yonglin suddenly felt that Zhao Kaishan was quite real. At least everything was written on his face, he was not sloppy in doing things, and his bad intentions must be realized in time, so that everyone can be convinced that he is a bad person.
Such a person is very real and does not make people fearful at all. Everyone is on guard against him, so no matter what he does, no one will panic.
But Su Yonglin felt that it was difficult to deal with people like him.
He hides his thoughts deep in his heart and never shows them. He obviously wants to crush them, but he still pretends to be a comrade to use them and fight alongside them.
Su Yonglin is not sure how many people will actually become like-minded friends with him in the end.
But if you can't be friends, don't become enemies, at least don't become enemies so obviously, otherwise Su Yonglin will never show mercy.
This kind of self is much more hypocritical than Zhao Kaishan.
This is how Su Yonglin sees himself.
Despite this, it is quite difficult for Zhao Kaishan to be so real and petty.
At this stage, Su Yonglin didn't want to be the only target, so he wanted to promote Zhao Kaishan to attract Wan Yanliang's attention and serve him as the main target to gain time for his own development.
But he didn't expect that Zhao Kaishan was so small-minded and intolerant of others. He almost felt afraid and at the same time he would start to attack to ensure that he was the most powerful, so that he could feel safe.
No wonder Su Yonglin remembered someone saying that the upper limit of a regime's military capabilities is the upper limit of that regime.
For a regime, especially an entrepreneurial regime, the core competitiveness is its military capability. The person with the strongest military capability is the leader, and there cannot be anyone else, otherwise it will inevitably harm him.
No matter what, the leader will not allow a subordinate's core competitiveness to be stronger than his own.
From this perspective, the upper limit of the Southern Song Dynasty is clear at a glance.
Zhao Gou was able to make a coquettish maneuver to recall Yue Fei, and his successor Emperor Xiaozong, who claimed to have the ambition to restore the Central Plains, could also ask Wu Lin to give up the victory and retreat to Sichuan in order to test Wu Lin's loyalty.
The method is in the same vein, but Wu Lin has more "political wisdom" than Yue Fei, and would rather lose tens of thousands of troops than violate royal taboos.
The upper limit of the Liberation Army is also clear at the moment.
Su Yonglin even felt that Zhao Kaishan was thinking about how to deal with and restrict himself at this moment.
Even if the real threat has not yet come.
And if he surrenders, Zhao Kaishan may not kill them all, but he will definitely lose his military power and the place to use them.
But how could he be captured without any help?
If Zhao Kaishan really wants to do something excessive, Su Yonglin will never be surprised. When it is time to take action, he will never be merciful.
Just like when he suddenly took action at the negotiation table and killed his own molest on the spot.
No mercy.
