Chapter 680: Run Away
Zhao Yulin nodded, but in his heart he felt that since he was in a high position and had absolute advantages, it would be easy for him to do anything.
The key is how to lead this leader?
He told Ma Linger: Our family has no shortage of money, and the purpose of children's work is to demonstrate their value, to set a good example for other businesses, and to help more people live a good life.
Zhao Feiyan nodded and suggested to Ma Linger: Our business should be like the imperial court recruiting officials, we should determine the salary for each person who does the work and plan a way out. Anyway, our family is short of money, we don't want to do business that will destroy the bridge after crossing the river.
At night, Zhao Yulin went to Ma Ling'er's room to sleep with him. After the couple finished their work, Ma Ling'er rested her head on his arm and talked to him, asking him for advice.
He asked Ma Linger to hire the retired master chef from Guigu to be an advisor to his own business, to enrich the team of high-tech talents in various businesses, and to select fair and upright young people to be accounting supervisors, and to handle matters impartially and in accordance with the rules regardless of the relationship.
Ma Linger nodded, adding fuel to the fire in his arms.
He said: We can't just leave after the work is done, and hide our identity and name. But a big tree attracts the wind, and no matter how powerful and wealthy a family is, it is difficult to escape the fate of being purged. We should not dream of being rich enough to rival a country and pass down our wealth for generations.
Once it’s done, hand it over to the state.
As the saying goes, "You are innocent, but you are guilty of possessing a treasure." Our family does not store gold, silver, or any treasures.
The woman butted his head, rubbing her black hair against his chest.
He introduced the concept of future joint-stock limited liability companies to Ma Ling'er, and asked her to establish a new type of private enterprise in accordance with standardized corporate systems, and let the Ministry of Industry send officials to follow up and summarize the experience to set a good example for the people of the world.
Ma Linger continued to hum in his arms, her right hand wandering on his body, murmuring that she wanted more.
Zhao Yulin felt so itchy all over due to Ma Ling'er's teasing that he actively cooperated with the action. Soon the big flower bed under his body began to shake rhythmically.
The next day, he was caught by Chen Xian again and went into Hongmeng Valley to discuss the design and production of the hydropower station with the masters.
This time, the craftsmen will practice the construction of a hydropower station in Mahu.
The Ma Lake in Huanglang County is actually a huge barrier lake formed by a landslide that cut off the river due to an earthquake. The craftsmen were delighted to see the huge Ma Lake and wanted to convert the huge water energy there into electricity to output power to Hongmeng Valley in Xinshi nearby.
Alimali of the Western Regions, Wu Qian, the special envoy of the Central Council of the New Song Dynasty, arrived. Gao Jin, Wang Hanchen and Zhang Guoan returned from the front line to meet the special envoy and listen to his orders.
Wu Qian did not expect that the marshals and generals who were good at fighting would respect him so much. He was happy in his heart, but he said very humbly: We are all officials in the same dynasty, there is no need to be so polite.
He immediately got to the point and asked about the military situation at the front.
Gao Jin told him: Hubli had defeated Hulagu and taken him under his command, which put Badu in a difficult position.
Xu Liewu didn't expect that Hubli had a shady plot and secretly sent spies to lobby his subordinates. Most of these generals were given to Xu Liewu by Hubli in the past. Perhaps Hubli had instructed them to lurk secretly at that time.
As soon as the spies here showed up and announced the imperial edict to Xu Liewu's subordinates, that guy's troops quickly split and disintegrated. They surrendered to Hubili before the war even started. This war could not be fought.
Although Badu's army participated in Hulagu's battle against Hubili, Hulagu was defeated too quickly and defected before he could exert his full strength.
This is really embarrassing.
Right now the two armies are facing each other on the shore of the Caspian Sea. They are very worried that Badu will surrender to Hubli, which would then give Hubli a powerful army.
Wu Qian said with a smile that he didn't know how to use troops, and it was up to the generals to make the decision. When I left Beijing, I had a long talk with the King of Zhao. I felt that we had experienced a long war and the people had suffered for years. Although the court was stable and the money and grain could be circulated, we could not spend so much money.
Gao Jin had a strong army at his disposal and was very motivated to do something big. But after hearing what Wu Qian said, he realized that Zhao Yulin intended to reduce the killing and the court did not plan to use large-scale military force.
This girl is simple-minded, so she simply asked Wu Qian for instructions. What exactly does the Third Young Master intend to do?
Wu Qian smiled immediately when he saw Gao Jin's appearance, and said cheerfully that the king had made the right choice of man and asked him to just make the arrangements. How could he just let the Grand Marshal do the job?
Gao Jin immediately said that Mr. Wu was too polite, and that he was just a soldier of the Shenwei Army and should just follow his orders.
Wu Qian waved his hand and said: The Lord of Zhao has given an oral instruction that the attack on Hubili must be "steady, accurate, and ruthless."
Stable means that we are already far away from the Central Plains, and it is more difficult to supply the rear and conduct military reconnaissance in the front. We must be cautious, find out the military situation, and be fully prepared. We must never fight a battle without confidence.
Accurate means to seize the opportunity and choose the time and place for the decisive battle to deal a critical blow to Hubli's Western Yuan Empire and annihilate his vitality.
Being ruthless means that all generals should fight with all their might, display all our weapons, mobilize the enthusiasm of the soldiers and strike hard at the enemy, so that the enemy will be terrified and dare not to confront us again.
Then, Wu Qian pulled out a piece of brocade from his sleeve and handed it to Gao Jin. On it was his thoughts that he had written down while recalling the conversation with Lord Zhao.
Gao Jin was overjoyed, and while looking at it carefully, he said that they just wanted to have a fight, and shouted to Bili to run faster, because they couldn't let that guy occupy their territory for a long time and rule as a king.
Wu Qian nodded and said that he didn't care how to fight him, but if there were tribes that wanted to surrender, we couldn't use troops anymore. The king said: Although heads are an important basis for military merit, we can't learn from the grassland people to massacre the city and exterminate the clan, because that would not stabilize the Western Regions.
Even if the land is occupied, it will be useless, and repeated rebellions in the future will become a huge burden.
Gao Jin nodded continuously and handed Wu Qian's manuscript to Wang Hanchen for circulation. He told Wu Qian that they were preparing to launch an attack on Shamar Khan, where three mountains sandwiched a large river valley, which was a rich basin with abundant resources, and that Hubili must be driven out to cut off his logistical supply.
Wu Qian nodded and said that time waits for no one. It snowed on the way here, and winter will be coming soon. Since Marshal Gao has already made a plan, he should just do it.
Gao Jin and his two lieutenants bowed to him and said in unison: The logistics of the Western Expedition Army will be handed over to Mr. Wu. Goodbye.
The three of them turned around and strode out of the door, mounted their horses and galloped towards Suiye City.
Here, the two vanguard officers Li Chuan and Huo Yi had already been busy.
Li Chuan asked Huo Yi to hurry up and prepare. Rumor had it that a special envoy had come from the imperial capital, so Marshal Gao and Commander Wang went to meet the special envoy.
Huo Yi asked him excitedly: Are you sure we are going to have a war?
What if the special envoy came to tell us to stop advancing?
Li Chuan said with a smile: It seems that this guy wants to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but he is saying discouraging words here.
Huo Yi stopped pretending and led his subordinates straight to the front line.
Five days later, Gao Jin and his men rushed to Suiye City and immediately held a military meeting. Wang Hanchen told his brothers: The Third Young Master has given us few opportunities to fight the enemy, and we have to do it well this time.
He spoke to Zhang Guoan and asked him to assign tasks.
Zhang Guoan immediately pulled out the battle map and explained that the team should attack Shamar Khan in three directions. They should be brave enough to endure hardships that the people of the grasslands had never experienced before, and boldly penetrate, divide and surround the enemy and annihilate them. There were only two prohibitions: one was not to cross the Wuchu River, and the other was not to kill innocent people indiscriminately.
After Zhang Guoan made a brief deployment, all the generals looked at Gao Jin with joy. However, Gao Jin said expressionlessly that they would attack in three days, and anyone who dared to delay the military opportunity would be beheaded.
Geng immediately spat out two words: Get out.
The generals immediately dispersed.
Zhang Guoan told Gao Jin and Wang Hanchen that he had come all the way to Suiye City just to exercise his legs, and he requested the two generals to let him be the vanguard and follow the vanguard officer into the attack.
Gao Jin said to Han Chen with a smile: Let Brother Guoan go to the front to supervise the battle. The third young master wants you to come out and make achievements, and we can't stop you.
Wang Hanchen nodded and told the national security to be careful and not to be careless.
Zhang Guoan was overjoyed and led his men to chase after them.
By the time Hubili learned of the massive attack by the Shenwei Army, it was already too late.
His prime minister, Brother Dong, reported in panic that the New Song Kingdom had attacked and that the Shenwei Army had attacked from multiple directions, just like the sneak attack on Guanzhong that year. They had forced their way over the mountains and into the Yaose River basin, and seized the pass in the northeast of the basin. A part of the army had also detoured thousands of miles to attack Kuzhan in an effort to close the gate to the basin.
Hubili immediately sat up straight and stared at his big brother Dong. Even though he knew that the Shenwei Army would attack sooner or later and move his important institutions and workshops away, he was reluctant to give up that fertile land and left that old dog Shi Tianze and 100,000 signed troops to garrison there.
When he heard that the Shenwei Army was attacking from multiple directions and had no less than 300,000 troops, he immediately ordered a retreat.
You must be kidding. Let alone 300,000, even if 100,000 Divine Power Army were dispatched, it would give him a headache. What's more, hundreds of thousands of troops would be dispatched at the same time. It would be earth-shaking and he would have to run away quickly.
Prime Minister Dong immediately made arrangements quickly.
His elder brother, the Prime Minister, reported to him: General Wulianghe knew that this battle could not be fought head-on, and he had already made a plan and would definitely be able to withdraw a group of troops.
Hubili ordered the deployment of troops along the Wuchu River, monitored the actions of the Shenwei Army, and prepared to retreat at any time.
After his army defeated Xulewu and Badu's troops, Xulewu surrendered. However, the newly recovered territory was very unstable. Even Xulewu himself, Hubili, could not guarantee that he would not rebel again.
So this guy was very conflicted. He wanted to send Xu Liewu a cup of poisoned wine to kill him, but he was worried that his mother would curse him for the rest of his life. He instigated most of Xu Liewu's generals to rebel and left 30,000 soldiers and horses behind, asking this brother to continue the westward expedition, serve as a vanguard for his empire, and eliminate all rebels.
Xu Liewu was young and energetic, a tough guy. He looked down on his brother from the bottom of his heart for running away when he saw the Shenwei Army, so he had no choice but to become the vanguard marshal of the Western Expedition.
However, most of his capable soldiers were Han soldiers sent to him by Hubli in the past. They were all brave and resourceful, veterans of the battlefield who had crawled out of the pile of dead bodies. They were all clear-headed and knew that they could only have wealth and glory if they followed Hubli closely.
