Chapter 575: The Man Who Carried the Black Cauldron
Li Qi will never interfere in the affairs of the Tingwei Army, this is what he promised Gao Xining at the beginning.
If a man's promise to a woman doesn't count, then a man's promise to a man probably doesn't count much.
During the meal, Gao Xining put a bowl of soup in front of Li Qi, sat down and said: "On the side of the Tingwei army, the number of people has expanded by four hundred, and it has already reached the scale of one thousand two hundred. ”
1,200 people, this is a battalion of military system, not less.
She looked at Li Qi and said, "For a long time in the future, the size of the team will not be expanded, just maintain it." ”
Li Qi snorted: "Listen to you." ”
Gao Xining said while eating: "When the team reaches this scale, it is necessary to select talents as leaders. ”
At that time, Li Qi also went, and he saw a few people at that time, and he always remembered it in his heart.
Li Qi said: "Shang Qingzhu, Fang Xidao, Du Yan, these young people are very good. ”
Gao Xining smiled: "I knew you would remember these people." ”
At that time, the competition was not only about martial arts, but also about the quality of all aspects, and these people all shined.
The military system of the Ning Army is slightly different, the Tingwei Army has 1,200 people, five people are a group, the group has a group rate, ten people are a team, the team has a team rate, and a hundred people are a group, and the regiment has a group rate.
The three regiments are one brigade, and the brigade has a brigade rate, but the brigade rate is not called the brigade rate, it is called the Baiban, and the three brigades are one battalion, and the battalion has a captain, but it is not called a captain in the Tingwei Army, and it is called a thousand offices.
Gao Xining said: "The three of them have been promoted to Baiban, and I arranged for them to go out of the city to practice." ”
Li Qi nodded: "It's good to go to the rivers and lakes more, they are young, and what they lack is only some experience in the rivers and lakes." ”
Gao Xining snorted, thinking that this time they could come back safely after going out, not only the experience of the rivers and lakes, but also the experience of life and death.
Twenty days later, Anyang City.
General's Palace.
Meng Kedi glanced at the Jianghu guests in the courtyard, but his eyes were actually full of disdain.
He was born in the military, and he has never looked down on these people from the rivers and lakes, but sometimes, the methods of the rivers and lakes have to be used.
A fiasco in Jizhou greatly damaged the vitality of the Anyang army.
Prince Wu, who was confronting Yang Xuanji in the south, got the news and sent someone to send a letter back to scold Meng Kedi.
Meng Kedi knew how humiliating he was, and he knew how humiliating it was.
However, militarily, he could not take revenge as soon as possible.
The losses of the Anyang army will take a long time to replenish back.
didn't even fight, and the people used a big flood to lose more than half of his tens of thousands of troops.
After returning to Anyang City, Meng Kedi was seriously ill and was sick for two months.
When he recovered, he was plotting revenge.
At this time, the people sent to Jizhou to investigate also returned.
The Li Yi who came to Anyang, where is the owner of Shen Yitang, but the Yanshan thief Li Qi.
Meng Kedi knew that the Yanshan thieves had 200,000 troops at their most glorious time, and they were dominant in the north.
The great boss Yu Chaozong is known as the Green Eyebrow Heavenly King, and has unparalleled prestige and status in Jizhou.
And this Li Qi was the third leader of the Yanshan thieves at that time.
After the Green Eyebrow Army was defeated, Li Qi gathered the remnants of the army and became the new leader of this gang of thieves.
After the news was verified, Meng Kedi was even more angry.
His reputation was ruined by the head of a bandit, and it was completely ruined.
Since then, when people mention Meng Kedi, they will naturally mention his fiasco in Jizhou.
What's more, people are on his turf and play him around.
This kind of shame can only be washed away by killing Li Qi.
According to the practice of the soldiers, of course, it is to justifiably defeat Li Qi on the battlefield, which is the real revenge.
But now the strength of the Anyang Army no longer allows him to be impulsive.
Meng Kedi, who once had an army of 80,000, had less than 50,000 troops left after this war.
And he has already found out that the so-called Ning army now has almost 50,000 troops.
50,000 against 50,000, or attacking the solid Jizhou, there is no chance of winning at all.
Besides, it is now winter, and it is the most unsuitable time to move troops, there is nothing but hay in the fields, what will his troops eat if they send troops at this time?
Therefore, Meng Kedi could only retreat and find a master on the rivers and lakes to kill Li Qi.
"General."
Ding Shengjia leaned over and said, "They have been waiting in the courtyard for more than half an hour, this weather ......"
He looked at Meng Kedi's face and paused when he said this.
Of course, Ding Shengjia knew that Meng Kedi looked down on Jianghu guests, and he also knew how unpleasant Meng Kedi looked at him now.
I have to say that Li Qi's arrival in Anyang has a huge relationship with him, that is, he introduced Li Qi to Meng Kedi.
From the very beginning, Ding Shengjia was deceived by Li Qi, and after being deceived, he was still helping Li Qi deceive more people.
After Meng Kedi's defeat, he scolded Ding Shengjia more than once, scolded him as a waste, scolded him as an idiot, and scolded him for being a shame for the Anyang army.
Ding Shengjia felt guilty in his heart, what else could he do except endure it silently.
So now every time Ding Shengjia sees Meng Kedi, his heart is a little hairy, and he even begins to deliberately avoid Meng Kedi.
However, Meng Kedi didn't want to avoid him, seeing that he was still not angry, even if he no longer scolded him, he would often say some cruel and sarcastic things.
This made the atmosphere in the Anyang army extremely embarrassing.
In fact, everyone also knows that General Meng just pushed General Ding out and carried all the black pots.
As the commander of the first army, Ding Shengjia can be blamed for being deceived, but Ding Shengjia can be blamed for defeat?
Meng Kedi just looked too ugly on his face, and he didn't want to accept this kind of shame.
So I humiliated Ding Shengjia again and again in exchange for a little comfort in my heart.
Hearing Ding Shengjia speak, Meng Kedi frowned and said, "Are you feeling sorry for them?" ”
Ding Shengjia opened his mouth, and before he could explain anything, Meng Kedi said in a flat but incomparably cold tone: "Since you feel sorry for them, then you go outside to accompany them." ”
Ding Shengjia sighed in his heart, got up, saluted, and walked out of the hall.
After Xue Chunbao died, the newly promoted general Lai Ichigo was a young and vigorous man.
took advantage of the fact that Ding Shengjia was losing power, and he did not fall into the ground, and there was a reason for this.
Ichigo said to Meng Kedi: "General Ding is too, he may be too guilty because of what happened last time, so he thinks that this matter can only be done by those Jianghu guests, so he cares too much. ”
"The general doesn't have to be too angry, General Ding is also for revenge, although most of these Jianghu guests are found by him, but he doesn't necessarily have any selfish intentions."
Hearing this, Meng Kedi's face changed.
"Selfishness?"
Meng Kedi looked at Ichigo and said, "What selfishness does he have?" ”
Ichigo said with a somewhat embarrassed face, "My subordinate said the wrong thing...... Actually, I just heard some rumors. ”
He lowered his voice and said: "One of his subordinates, and a servant in General Ding's mansion are fellow villagers, and they occasionally get together ......."
Speaking of this, he looked at Meng Kedi and said: "There are some things that his subordinates don't dare to say, there is really no real evidence, and what he said is like framing General Ding." ”
Meng Kedi said: "You just have to say, whether it is true or false, I will judge."
。 ”
Ichigo sighed and said, "It's just that once General Ding drank too much wine, and he was furious at home, beating and scolding his subordinates, and whipped a subordinate with a horsewhip, and said while beating...... It's all your own incompetence, blame me for what to do! ”
"Huh?!"
Meng Kedi's eyes widened suddenly.
Ichigo said: "I guess it's fake, General Ding has followed the general for many years and is loyal, maybe his subordinates have been beaten, so he deliberately arranged a lie to ruin General Ding's character." ”
Meng Kedi's face became more and more gloomy.
Lai Ichigo said: "So my subordinates scolded the pro-soldier and dealt with it with military law." ”
When Meng Kedi heard this, he looked sideways at Ichigo and said, "Let your own soldiers come to my house tomorrow." ”
Ichigo leaned over and said, "Yes......"
Meng Kedi was silent for a moment and said: "This matter, you don't need Ding Shengjia to deal with it, you go to meet those Jianghu guests outside for me, let Ding Shengjia come back, I have something to say to him." ”
Ichigo got up, and it didn't seem that there was any change on his face, but his heart was happy.
The heart said that thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, Ding Shengjia, in the future, don't expect to be like in the past, calling for wind and rain in the Anyang army.
Once, the two generals under Meng Kedi, one Xue Chunbao and one Ding Shengjia, were both above 10,000 people in the Anyang army.
In the army, even if it is a general of the same level as Xue Chunbao and Ding Shengjia, he has to nod his head when he sees the two of them.
These two people are both strong personalities, and there are many things that offend people and things that offend people.
Originally, Ichigo could have been promoted more than a year ago, when Meng Kedi asked Ding Shengjia what he meant.
Ding Shengjia said that Ichigo was only in his twenties, so he was really young.
So this sentence pressed Ichigo back again.
Ichigo's background is not trivial.
Now Lai Yong'er, the general of the forbidden army who is guarding in the capital, has been named the prince of the country, and Emperor Yang Jing also attaches great importance to him.
Lai Ichigo is Lai Yong'er's nephew, and Emperor Yang Jing asked him to come to Anyang City, and the purpose is naturally obvious.
At that time, it was obvious that Meng Kedi wanted to suppress him, and knowing that he was sent by the emperor to spy on him, Meng Kedi was naturally unhappy.
So he instructed Ding Shengjia to deliberately say a few words when he promoted Ichigo, so as to suppress Ichigo.
Lai Ichigo naturally didn't know what Meng Kedi meant, and the resentment against Ding Shengjia in his heart was getting worse day by day.
At this moment, Meng Kedi has no one to use, and he promotes Ichigo, which gives Ichigo a chance to take revenge.
Not long after, Ding Shengjia came in from outside.
Meng Kedi pointed to the other side: "Sit down and talk." ”
Ding Shengjia thanked him and sat down in front of Meng Kedi.
Meng Kedi personally poured him a cup of tea, then smiled and said: "I've been worrying too much recently, and you are an old man next to me, so I have lost my temper with you a little more, you don't have to hold a grudge." ”
Ding Shengjia was overjoyed, and hurriedly leaned over and said, "The subordinates won't, and the subordinates just want to share the general's worries." ”
Meng Kedi nodded and said, "I naturally know your loyalty, you don't have to think too much." ”
He paused and continued, "I heard that you haven't been in good health lately? ”
Ding Shengjia said: "It's just a little cold......
Before he finished speaking, Meng Kedi said in a flat tone: "If you are not well, you can rest, if you have anything to do, there will be no one to talk to by my side...... In this way, I will give you three months of special leave, you go home to recuperate, you don't have to worry about the affairs of the team, I will arrange someone to take it for you first. ”
He waved his hand and said, "Go back and recuperate, don't think too much, I have always trusted you." ”
Ding Shengjia's eyes widened suddenly.
He looked at the general in front of him, as if he suddenly didn't know him.
