Zhao Jiu nodded and looked at Tian Shizhong again: "Did you hear that?"
"yes."
"What do you want to say?"
"Nothing to say." Tian Shizhong responded respectfully.
"That's good. There should be less factionalism in the army. For example, in this battle, the two military governors have their own division of labor. The right army of the imperial camp is heading east, and the front army of the imperial camp is heading west. Your troops happen to be in the middle, so it is normal for you to be dispatched."
"Yes." When Tian Shizhong heard the words "each has his own division of labor", he knew that his purpose of making up for his father-in-law's strategic misjudgment had been achieved, and he felt relieved immediately.
"Then sit down." Zhao Jiu smiled again.
Yue and Tian sat down together, but the next moment, the official's subsequent smiling words made them both stern again.
"However, I have also thought about it. Things must not be done this way in the future. After all, I set up the imperial camp troops with the intention of making the entire army one and easy to use. There should be no discussion of other departments and my department." Having said this, Zhao Jiu sighed with a slight smile. "The only difference is that each unit has its own origin. I have led troops before, so how could I not know? For example, the rear army of the imperial camp is composed of the old members of the Western Army; the front army of the imperial camp is mostly composed of the old members of the Tokyo garrison; the right army of the imperial camp is composed of the old members of Zhong Shidao who came from Taiyuan, and then Zhang Boying developed them from Huaidong; the left army of the imperial camp is basically composed of the confidants brought back by Han Shizhong from Hebei, and they also recruited people from Huaixi themselves; as for Zhang Rong and Li Yanxian, they started from scratch and bypassed the court to set up their own teams in the local area. On one side is the Liangshanpo bandits, and on the other side is the righteous army in the Shaanxi-Luoyang area... These troops have entangled foundations, and most of them only recognize their own commanders. Even I can't easily divide or separate them, otherwise there will be mutinies."
At this point, Yue and Tian, who had just sat down, stood up again and left their seats.
This time, Zhao Jiu did not let them sit down. Instead, he looked at the two people who stood up and continued to speak slowly: "But I have to say it again... As Pengju said just now, my jokes were heard by some brainless bastards and they would have disloyalty. This is overthinking... Because I dare not guarantee other things, but I think I have some vision for the generals of the army. For example, Han Shizhong, Yue Fei, Li Yanxian, Zhang Boying, Qu Duan, Zhang Rong, and Wu Jie, although their personalities are completely different, they are all loyal. Secondly, if I ask you to fight for your lives, you can fight well and are all famous generals. So, just with people like you, I will make many emperors in ancient and modern times envy me."
Yue Fei and Tian Shizhong, who represented Zhang Jun, looked at each other, and it was Yue Fei who bowed and said, "We are ashamed."
"Don't be ashamed." Zhao Jiu turned his head and looked at the sparkling fish pond on the side and sighed. "I am grateful to you from the bottom of my heart... Yue Qing, Tian Qing!"
"I'm here." Yue Fei's heart sank and he immediately took half a step forward.
"I'm here." Tian Shizhong, who was extremely sensitive politically, was also startled. He had probably anticipated something in his mind, but he also took half a step forward and stood solemnly beside Yue Fei in the pavilion.
"Although they are all famous generals, do you know that among these generals, some are even better than others?" Zhao Jiu picked up another red apricot. Then he asked seriously. "Just like Cao Cao and Liu Bei discussing heroes over wine, Cao Cao and Liu Bei are three points better than the two Yuan brothers, Liu Biao, Liu Yan, Sun Quan and other heroes at the end of the Han Dynasty."
Tian Shizhong had been silent for a long time. Yue Fei had no intention of responding to the conversation. Yang Yizhong remained silent as usual. Only Zhang Xian and Yang Zaixing and Guo Jin who were standing solemnly in front of the pavilion were obviously interested... The Three Kingdoms is very popular!
Guan Yu killed Yan Liang on White Horse, but unfortunately White Horse was changed to Shaoxing.
Zhao Jiu waited for a long while, and seeing that Yue Fei and Tian Shizhong were unwilling to speak, he understood in his heart, but smiled slightly, and then accepted it. He simply pinched the red apricots and looked at the fish pond, and spoke seriously: "I think that among the generals in the world, Han Shizhong first had the merit of supporting the emperor, and then he saved the emperor several times. He defeated Wuzhu on Huaishang, defended Talan in Changsha, and shot Loushi at Yaoshan. Most of them were the first in the world, and his qualifications were also the leader of the Western Army. I think he is the best general in the world, unparalleled in the world, and I often rely on him as my waist and courage... Do you think it's right?"
"The Prince of Yan'an has the best chance." Yue Fei quickly bowed in response.
Teacher Tian further confirmed his guess in his heart and quickly nodded in agreement.
Zhao Jiu nodded and said seriously:
"Besides Han Shizhong, there is a man who sacrificed his family for the country and was repeatedly despised by the court, but he also repeatedly saved the situation from danger. He started from Shanzhou, from nothing to something, spanning the inside and outside of the Yellow River, connecting the east and west of Guanyu, and refusing to give an inch. When the situation was most critical, the Song Dynasty was not divided into the east and the west, and the Jin people were not able to merge into the east and the west. This is all his credit... This man in Shanzhou, the sky fell and he could not be moved, the earth sank and he could not be moved. He can be said to have made great contributions, is that right?" Zhao Jiu continued to ask seriously.
Yue Fei sighed and responded in the pavilion: "I have often thought that Li Jiedu's contribution cannot be measured by how much he conquered or how much territory he recovered. It is really appropriate for the government to give him the flag of 'pillar of the middle stream'."
Tian Shizhong still bowed, but gradually became nervous.
Zhao Jiu nodded and said, "There is another person, who was born in Hebei, but he fought in many battles, and was displaced. He fought in more than 200 battles for seven or eight years, and won and lost, but his idea of fighting against the Jin army and the Northern Expedition never faltered. Moreover, he was strict in managing the army, and his discipline was the best in the world. He was honest and upright, and his personal morality was the best among the generals... I often regard him as a comrade! Yue Qing, at this point, your contributions and hard work do not need to be mentioned anymore. More importantly, your morality and ability are no longer questioned by anyone. I think you are also capable of surpassing other generals and being on par with Han and Li. What do you think?"
