Chapter 54 Ye Chen returns
After resting in the city, He Xi got into working mode.
Survey Xicheng's population, industry, land, etc. Seize the granary in Xicheng. Although Ye Chen made trouble this year. But Xicheng is the center of the Qingchuan River Basin. It was also the place where the Korean army gathered. After all, Ye Chen was outnumbered, and he mostly avoided the big cities, so there was no damage here in Xicheng.
A total of more than 200,000 stones were obtained from the granary. The pressure on military supplies for the army's southern expedition has been reduced a lot.
Ye Wang was in charge of Xicheng and sent Lan Chixin to send troops to sweep the small towns around Xicheng. However, Xicheng fell. It is natural for the surrounding small towns to watch the wind and descend.
At this time, Ha CiBuHua came to Xicheng with his army. It brought a lot of loot, and even brought Ye Chen. Ha Ci Buhua fought against Goryeo Li Chenggui in the north of Pingcheng. Big break. It was because of this battle that Ye Chen escaped.
He Xi was overjoyed when he heard that Ye Chen had returned, but when he saw Ye Chen, he scolded him fifty times without saying a word.
Even Ye Wang didn't dare to plead for mercy.
In Ye Wang's opinion, He Xi was good enough to Ye Chen.
Officially defended to the best of its ability. At least, Ye Chen didn't have any stain on the government and the public because of this incident. However, Ye Chen's actions affected the overall situation, causing He Xi to do so many unexpected things just to wipe his ass.
It is difficult to understand the hatred in He Xi's heart without giving him a severe punishment. I hope he will have a better memory.
But no matter how you fight. These are all private lessons. It's just a physical pain. For Ye Wang, this is nothing at all. After all, people who practice martial arts learn to hit people and get beaten first. Their bodies are strong and strong. What does it matter if they only get beaten a few times?
Ye Chen was beaten well. I could barely stand up for a while.
He Xi asked someone to bring a stretcher and asked him to lie on it. He sat at the top and said, "Do you know you are wrong?"
Ye Chen didn't hesitate and said, "I know I was wrong."
He Xi said: "What's wrong?"
Hearing this sentence, Ye Chen almost burst into tears.
He is also considered a tough guy, and it doesn't matter if he hits dozens of boards. He doesn't care, but he feels aggrieved.
He went deep into Goryeo alone and did not carry enough food and grass. Each of them racked his brains to replenish food and grass, and then plundered everywhere. Not to mention, being chased and intercepted by the Koreans, they came and went like the wind.
Yes. The Koreans lacked combat effectiveness and combat experience. But there are so many people. It has been 500 years since the founding of Goryeo, and everyone has become familiar with the Goryeo court. In many cases, their news is not as good as the Goryeo people. This is why he supports the Korean slaves. Just for better news channels.
Only more rapid information could allow him to escape from the encirclement and suppression of the Koreans.
In the past few months in Goryeo, Ye Chen had hardly slept at all. No matter what time period, we are carefully considering the strategy to defeat the enemy. The so-called hardships and obstacles are all in your favor. The energy during this period of time, whether it is victory or defeat. It had a great impact on Ye Chen.
Even for a long time, it was Ye Chen's precious wealth.
Ye Chen is certainly good. However, there are not a few famous generals like Ye Chen in the Ming Dynasty. Even if there are fewer, there are still more than a hundred people. But have these people become famous generals in history? Where there are so many famous generals, more people are wasting their talents.
People's fate is very important. If Zhang Fu is not Zhang Yu's son, Zhang Yu is not Zhu Di's close minister. Is it possible for Zhang Fu to become a famous general in the world? not necessarily.
The same is true today.
Although Ye Chen is good, he was not trained by He Xi's side and received a lot of rich military ideas. Without this risky attack, defeating more with less, and allowing hundreds of thousands of Goryeo troops to serve as Ye Chen's training partners, Ye Chen's future achievements would have been very limited.
However, all Ye Chen's thoughts were occupied by the war.
During the battle in Pingcheng, Ye Chen felt that he was going to die for his country. As a result, he was saved from a desperate situation. When he came back, he was both a teacher and a friend of his superiors, without saying a word. I was given a meal first. Ye Chen felt extremely wronged. He couldn't figure it out or understand.
He didn't dare to talk back to He Xi. But I really don’t know where I went wrong.
He Xi sighed and said: "I told you that war is a continuation of politics. I asked you to hold Goryeo for three months. Do you feel that you have overfulfilled the task? I did not tell you that confronting Goryeo If you don't take action first, you will be worried. If something happens, you will restrain your hands and ruin the lives of the soldiers. But don't you know the situation in Liaodong? Just tell me one thing. At this time, winter is coming soon. The army is marching into Goryeo, like this Is it appropriate to do it?”
Ye Chen's military qualities are very good. In an instant, he analyzed the logistics, weather, civilian power, etc., and said, "It's not appropriate. There are too many things going on in Liaodong this year. It's best to take a rest for the winter. It won't be too late to fight again after the spring of next year. Goryeo is Wancheng The country cannot be destroyed in a few months. It is normal for the war with Goryeo to last for several years. We should not pursue an advantage of one or two months."
He Xi said, "Do you think I can't think of this?"
Ye Chen also had doubts in his heart and said, "Sir, do you have other considerations?"
He Xi picked up the tea bowl, took a sip of tea, and slowly told Ye Chen everything in it. Breaking into Goryeo from Ye Chen. When he asked Lan Yu for help, what did Lan Yu do? Thoughts your Majesty may have. One link after another, finally came to the reason why we had to send troops.
He Xi said: "Actually, I can postpone it until next year, but Lan Yu is General Zhengdong after all. If I refute his face from the first thing, how can the subsequent cooperation be carried out? So, , is this the current situation?”
"Did you understand? How do you feel now?"
Ye Chen fell into deep silence. His first feeling was that the adult world was so complicated. Much harder than fighting. He never thought that the thing he did back then would have such a big reaction.
After a while, he said, "The general finally realized his mistake."
He Xi said: "What's wrong?"
Ye Chen said: "The general did not consider the court's thoughts. He also did not consider the situation of the adults."
He Xi did not say whether Ye Chen was right or wrong, but said, "Ye Chen, what kind of person do you want to be?"
Ye Chen said: "Become a general comparable to Wei Guogong."
He Xi said: "Then you know? When Wei Guogong is in Nanjing, his subordinates have to speak on many matters. If you are a general, you can ignore everything and just carry out the court's orders. But in the position of Wei Guogong, what orders does the court have? , but it’s him who wants to intervene. It’s impossible not to intervene.”
"For a middle- and lower-level general who doesn't understand politics, regardless of these, it is an advantage. But if you reach the upper level, if you still don't understand this, it is the most fatal flaw. Since ancient times, there has never been a general who can make contributions to outsiders while having powerful ministers. This is You have to think about this sentence carefully and carefully. Ask why? When will you understand this sentence and think it through. Only in the future will you be able to win the Duke of Wei."
In a military struggle, it is most taboo to send orders to many places.
Since there are powerful officials, there are naturally people who want to get rid of them. As a result, the central political situation does not have a unified idea. Unless you become a warlord, it will be difficult to make meritorious deeds outside. After all, what you do is considered a credit to one person, but a sin to another person.
Of course, this was the first meaning that He Xi asked Ye Chen to understand.
The second level is that if a general wants to make achievements externally, he must unify his internal and external will. How to do that? That is, the general himself must be a member of the power field and use means such as vertical and horizontal alliances to allow his own ideas to occupy a high position in the court.
Of course, you can also let yourself take charge.
In the end, this little bit of sublimation fell into the situation of Cao Cao, Liu Yu and others. He Xi estimated that Ye Chen's thoughts could not reach that point.
Many times, it is impossible for an individual’s thoughts to transcend the times. Ye Chen probably has never even thought about the rebellion.
At this moment, Ye Chen had no idea what He Xi's intention was, so he could only nodded vaguely and said, "I will remember it."
He Xi said: "This incident is over. Please tell me what happened to you in Korea this time."
Although Ye Chen made a big mistake. But Ye Chen was able to fight in and out of Goryeo, which naturally amazed He Xi. What a great seed. For talented people. He Xi is naturally tolerant. I lifted this thing up high, put it down gently, and now I'm done with it.
