Chapter Fifty-Nine: Filling Your Own Pocket
Shi Chong rushed to the top with blood and said loudly: "Joke, I have never seen Shi Chong's sword mountain and sea of fire, and I am afraid that a little guerrilla general, sons and daughters, will push it out and cut it for me." As soon as he finished speaking, several Youzhou soldiers escorted this guerrilla general and walked outside the camp, howling miserably all the way, shouting for Dou Shuai to save his life, Dou Sheng was annoyed and ashamed and said angrily: "Shi Chong, you are ruthless." ”
"General Dou," Li Luo stared at Dou Sheng coldly and said: "Today's matter is my order, and it has nothing to do with General Shi, if General Dou is not satisfied, he can come to me to theorize, and in the future, if General Dou still has this person who does not respect military discipline, don't blame Li Luo's subordinates for being ruthless, Ni Qing." ”
"The subordinates are here."
"Eight hundred miles urgently, send today's events back to the royal city, and send another message to the emperor and my father, if there is someone in the royal city behind the back is not good for General Shi, they will be beheaded."
"Obey." Ni Qing replied loudly.
Dou Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Li Luo was the real commander of the three armies, an auxiliary general given by the imperial court, and the concubine of Li Chengye, the prince of the Nine Emperors and Prince Chun of Emperor Wanlong.
It's just that Li Luo rarely interferes in military affairs these days, and he has more to do with King Huai and himself, and gradually forgot the backer behind Li Luo and the soul of Dagan's army, Prince Chun Li Chengye.
Thinking of this, Dou Sheng couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, if Li Luo wanted to cure himself for the crime of raising private soldiers without permission, I am afraid that there was no other way but to betray the barracks, even King Huai would not be able to save himself.
Liu Ce was interrupted by Li Luo, froze on the spot, and when he heard Li Luo's message back to the capital, he also realized that he was a little contemptuous of Li Luo these days.
Although Li Luo tolerated a lot because King Huai was his imperial uncle, Li Luo was the commander of the Western Expedition.
If there was no Li Luo, there would be no army of the Western Expedition, and he might still be in Youzhou, and even Li Luo didn't notice it when he looked at him in a trance.
Shi Chong was quite surprised, he didn't expect Li Luo to value himself so much, and a sense of confidant surged in his heart, looking at Li Luo seemed to be a lot more pleasing to the eye, nodding again and again, standing aside and smiling.
After a while, several Youzhou soldiers who had just been escorting the guerrilla generals ran back and beheaded them outside the camp, and their bodies were hung on the camp fence for public display. Li Luo shook his head, ordered the soldiers to put away the body, and buried it on the spot.
Li Luo turned over his horse and looked at the generals in the army, at this time, Hu Chajing, Qin Shutong and Qi Shaobing all rushed over, but they didn't see King Huai and Hu Cha Dong Cicada.
Li Luo said coldly: "Today's matter is over, if such a thing happens again, together with the commander of the army, he will be held accountable." After saying that, he rode back to the camp, leaving the generals who looked at each other and Dou Sheng, who was stunned.
In the next few days, the army marched a lot faster, there were fewer bullying things in the battalion, and the generals of each battalion also increased their moderation, and there was a lot less friction.
King Huai didn't trouble the Chinese army for a while, it seems that Li Luo was angry that day, and King Huai was also a little jealous.
After some time, King Huai sent someone to find Li Luo, but he asked Li Luo to look at the recital he wrote to Emperor Wanlong, which was full of praise and flattery to Li Luo.
Huai Wang hid his anger and grudge, and secretly scolded Li Luo for not knowing what to do, and since then he has not given it to Li Luo, but no matter how this chapter is written, Li Luo does not know.
After the march, the various departments also ran in for some time, and the cooperation with each other was much better than when they just left Zhuocheng, and the marching speed was nearly twice as fast.
Li Luo has been inspecting all parts of the camp these days, looking at some of the methods arranged in the army, that is, the army is equipped with grain and grass Li Luo also went to see it for several days, no one thought that this Qi Shaobing was not outstanding, he looked cunning, and he took care of the grain and grass in an orderly manner.
The army marched for more than half a month, it was already in Quanzhou, the weather had not turned cool at noon, the army stopped to rest, Li Luo was sitting in the simple tent reading a book, suddenly there was a commotion outside the door, and before Li Luo went out to see, the tent curtain was lifted, and the winter cicada walked in angrily, and saw Li Luo reluctantly saluted, and asked: "Why is the food and salary of the officers and men of our army less than half?" ”
Li Luo was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know what the reason was, so he had to say: "County Lord, don't worry about it first, sit down and talk." Why is there less food in your army? When did you start to get less? After speaking, he waved his hand to signal Ni Qing and Ni Bai not to worry.
Hucha Dong Cicada sat down angrily and said: "It's been three days, and I don't know why the rear army has cut the rations of our front army by half, saying that the army has insufficient food and grass, but I went to the Chinese army to see, and the food in each battalion of the Chinese army is more than ours." Today, I will send people to say that we want to halve the salaries of our former army, what is the reason? ”
"Lack of food and grass?" Li Luo was startled, looked up, and Ni Qing hurriedly said: "General, there is no money and food in the army. ”
Li Luo frowned, looked at the Hu Cha Winter Cicada who was still angry, and asked, "Has anything happened in the past few days?" ”
Ni Qing thought for a while and said, "No, nothing happened in the battalions. ”
Hu Chadong Cicada interjected: "The states and counties that our former army has passed have never disturbed the people, let alone clash with the rear army of the Chinese army. ”
After a pause, he suddenly remembered something, and said embarrassedly: "A few days ago, the guards of the prison army came to my camp and said that the prison guards were looking for me to discuss something, but they were just arrogant and domineering, and they were not clean in their mouths with the guards in my account, and they were beaten by me and thrown out of the camp, which is not a violation of military regulations." After speaking, he looked up at Li Luo, a little cramped.
Li Luo groaned, and Ni Qing said: "General, the county lord has more than ten female guards, all of whom are attractive, probably." Before he finished speaking, Hucha Dong Cicada turned his head and glared at Ni Qing viciously, and Ni Qing hurriedly swallowed the words that came to his mouth.
Li Luo seemed to be unconscious, and said to Ni Qing: "Go and invite the two generals of the rear army and General Dou of the Chinese army to come here." ”
"Yes." Ni Qing saluted and gave an order, Ni Bai turned around and hurried out of the camp.
The needle drop in the big tent could be heard for a while, Li Luo didn't speak, stood up, and turned his back to the Hucha winter cicada.
After a while, there was a sound of horses neighing outside the tent, Ni Bai reported, Liu Ce, Dou Sheng, Qi Shaobing and Qin Shutong rushed in, saw Li Luo bowed, and said, "General." ”
Li Luo turned around and walked in front of a few people, neither exempting nor giving a seat, and asked in a cold voice: "Why has the salary of the former army been halved?" ”
Several people were silent, as soon as Qi Shaobing entered the camp tent, he already knew what was going on when he saw Hucha Dong Cicada, and he couldn't help but secretly complain, and when he heard Li Luo's question, he shrank his head and didn't dare to raise his head.
"Qi Shaobing, say, what's going on?"
Hearing Li Luo call himself, Qi Shaobing had no choice but to move a few steps forward, and he didn't say a word for a long time.
"General Liu, do you know about this?"
"Indeed, the last general has heard of this." Liu Ce groaned and answered.
"Why didn't you report me for such a big event?"
Liu Ce glanced at Dou Sheng, who was standing in front of him, and did not speak.
Dou Sheng took a step forward and said: "General, maybe there is something wrong in the rear army, the supply of grain and grass for the former army has always been taken care of by General Qin, General Qin, what is going on with the halving of the money and grain of the former army, according to the truth." ”
Qin Shutong replied: "General, three days ago, the grain and grass allocated to the front army in the army was indeed less than half, and the last general also checked himself, maybe the supply is insufficient in the past few days, and the last general will urge a few more times to make up for the surplus grain." ”
"But why hasn't the Chinese army been halved, but our front army has been reduced?" Hu Cha Dong Cicada suddenly stood up and questioned Qin Shutong.
Dou Sheng said coldly: "General Qin, what's going on here, is it that you are not doing things well or do you have something else to hide?" General Qi, you are the chief general of the rear army, is there someone who does not do a good job by relying on his military position, or even fills his own pockets? ”
Qi Shaobing was submissive, glanced at Qin Shutong, and did not speak, Dou Sheng snorted, a little dissatisfied. Li Luo looked at Qin Shutong, but saw that Qin Shutong had a calm face, bit his lip tightly, and did not refute.
"General Qi." Li Luo suddenly said loudly.
"The end will be." Qi Shaobing hurriedly replied.
"Do you remember what I said when I appointed you as the commander of the rear army?" Li Luo asked lightly.
"Remember, remember." Qi Shaobing wiped the cold sweat on his head and replied repeatedly.
"Just remember, come on, bring my star sword." Ni Qing answered, took the star sword, and the generals didn't know why, and they didn't know what Li Luo wanted to do. Qi Shaobing's face turned blue, thinking that Li Luo was going to draw his sword and cut himself, his legs couldn't stop shaking, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Li Luo take the sword and walked in front of Hucha Dongcicada, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Luo said: "This sword is called Xingzhu, it is given by the emperor, and it is temporarily lent to you today." ”
Hu Cha Dong Cicada didn't understand why Li Luo gave the sword, so he stood up and took the sword, not knowing how to thank him.
Li Luo continued: "If tomorrow, the salary in the former military camp is still half, you take this sword, you don't need to report to me, you go and take the head of the commander of the rear army to me." ”
"Ahh Hucha Winter Cicada exclaimed, Qi Shaobing was so frightened that he fell to his knees, and almost came out crying.
"The front army is all Muzhou rangers, twenty or thirty miles, in the blink of an eye, and you can't delay the work of a meal. General Qi, can you prepare the grain and grass tomorrow, if it is not ready, say it earlier, and save the county lord from making an extra trip tomorrow. ”
"It's ready, it's ready." Qi Shaobing didn't wait for Dou Sheng to speak, and said with a sad face.
"Okay, stand down." After speaking, Li Luo turned around and looked at the Dagan map hanging on the wall.
Qi Shaobing got up and trembled out of the big tent, Dou Sheng and Liu Ce glanced at each other, and they both saw the fear in their eyes, but what Dou Sheng was afraid of was Li Luo's decision to kill, and Liu Ce was afraid that Li Luo could see the inner reason at a glance.
