Chapter 167: Stand Firm
Li Xiaofei went to Liu Mingge first, but Liu Mingge rejected him: "You are the commander of the Chen family!" I can get them to obey if I go, but they won't listen to you when I'm gone, but I'm sure you'll have a way to subdue them! ”
Li Xiaofei had to go to Murong Ling again, and Murong Ling's answer was similar to Liu Mingge's.
Li Xiaofei, who turned around and didn't find a helper, returned to the barracks, but met five drunken soldiers head-on.
Li Xiaofei saw them staggering over, so he stepped aside and let them pass.
The five drunks caught a glimpse of Li Xiaofei but surrounded him: "You are the new handsome?" Come, have a few drinks with our brothers! ”
As he spoke, he pulled Li Xiaofei up, and Li Xiaofei's guards Hua Xiaoan and Liu Haizhu stepped forward to pull them away, and the five of them couldn't help but scold and beat each other.
When the rest of the camp came to pull the rack, Li Xiaofei's forehead had already been broken.
"What the hell! Just this kung fu is also to be the commander of our Chen Jiajun! ”
"Whew! This kind of useless thing, why should you lead our Chen Jiajun! ”
"Go back and pick up the baby before it's too late! Chen Jiajun is not a cat or a dog who can be a handsome! ”
The five drunks kept scolding, and the rest did not dissuade them.
Hua Xiaoan and Liu Haizhu wiped Li Xiaofei's wounds, and the fifty personal soldiers brought by Li Xiaofei from Linjiang Country also rushed over.
Seeing that the soldiers had already taken ropes to tie up the five drunks who injured Li Xiaofei.
"Slow! Don't tie them up! Don't embarrass them! ”
Li Xiaofei's patience was beyond everyone's imagination, and even these five people felt that they had gone too far, so they stopped scolding and slowly retreated
All the soldiers present were dumbfounded, this commander of the Chen family's army, in the face of five subordinates who humiliated him, didn't even reprimand, was he frightened?
Li Xiaofei pulled out his sword, and everyone was amazed, in the past, he had to kill in the back.
As soon as the five people turned around, they found that Li Xiaofei had already slashed his left arm with a sword, and blood was immediately pouring out.
Li Xiaofei dropped his sword, dipped his right hand in his arm, smeared blood on his face and knelt down: "Brothers, I know that I am the commander of the Chen family, and many of you are not convinced by me!" Even I didn't expect that I was not good at martial arts, let alone the art of war! I haven't even learned the fur of Old General Chen! If you think that you can lead everyone to make contributions and make a living in this troubled world, stand up, and I, Li Xiaofei, will go to ask the emperor to make him the boss! ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone whispered and shouted for a while, but no one stood up
Li Xiaofei continued to kneel and look at everyone: "Since none of you are willing to take this burden, then I have to stand up and take it!" ”
"Wait! You can talk! "A veteran in the audience spoke
Li Xiaofei didn't expect that someone would dare to agree in this situation, and hesitated slightly: "Well, okay, you come up, tell everyone your name, and I'll go to the emperor immediately!" ”
Everyone laughed, it turned out that this veteran was also a drunkard, and at the moment he drank too much, so he became presumptuous
"Li Dashuai, he is a drunkard, and he can't do enough words!"
"No, whatever each and every one of you says, I'll take it seriously!"
"You, do you really talk count? That's what you said! Then Lao Tzu is going to be this handsome today! As he spoke, the old soldier took up his sword from the ground, stood before them, and raised it high
"Huh
Hahahaha. You all look, I'm an old drunkard today! ”
Hua Xiaoan and Liu Haizhu were about to take the sword, but Li Xiaofei stopped them: "No, he has no malice!" ”
The old soldier ran around the crowd with his sword in hand, chanting words as he ran, and everyone laughed.
Hua Xiaoan and Liu Haizhu's tears fell, Li Xiaofei, a handsome man, lost face, and he really couldn't gain a foothold in Chen Jiajun in the future.
Chen Zhong, who said that he had been ill for a few days, took Feng Hengshan, Zhang Mengqi and others to relieve the siege on horseback at this time
"Stop! If you dare to mess around again, you will be dealt with by military law! Chen Zhong shouted, except for the old soldier who was running with his sword in his hand, everyone else fell silent
Chen Zhong and the others turned over and dismounted, and picked up Li Xiaofei together: "Li Dashuai!" The end will be too late, please forgive your sins! ”
"Please forgive me!"
Li Xiaofei stood up with their support: "Brothers, it's the little brother who doesn't have a good number of courtesies!" If you big brother still think that I am a member of the Chen family, don't test me! I'm still that stupid boy! ”
When these words came out, the veteran also knelt in front of him and handed back the sword with both hands: "The Linjiang army said that Li Dashuai is a tolerant and generous person, and today I believe it!" But today I offended the commander, if I am not punished, the commander will not be able to command the three armies! ”
The veteran turned around and pulled out his dagger to stab himself in the abdomen, "Stop him!" Li Xiaofei hurriedly shouted
Fortunately, Hua Xiao'an made a quick move, and the dagger only pierced half an inch.
"Why are you doing this! I, Li Xiaofei, am I the one who kills my brother to establish my authority? I, Li Xiaofei, exchange hearts with all of you today! It depends on everyone to fight the war, and everything is the same as before! You don't have to worry about you being torn apart and transferred! ”
Speaking of which, Chen Zhong and the others were also moved: "Brother, it's not that the brothers are deliberately playing tricks on you!" It's not like we're going to give you a kick! It's that my brothers are really worried about their future! Some time ago, His Majesty the Emperor and the Prime Minister came to the camp to drink with us, and we recommended you to be a handsome man after drinking! But this Chen Jiajun is now no one who obeys anyone, the court is afraid of us, and we are also afraid that we will go down the evil road ourselves! It's hard! ”
"The big brothers are thinking about it for a reason, but it's actually too much! Now that the world is undecided, how can there be a reason to cut off the elite first? Even if it's a rabbit dead and a dog cooking, it's not now! What's more, there is a restless Cui Ju in the south now! There is Zhu Yaoshi in the east, and in addition to Zhu Yaoshi in the north, there are also Mobei people! We still have to fight for at least half a lifetime! Brothers, so confused! ”
"This, but those civil officials who came out of the Imperial Academy are suspicious of us! Several times I wanted to take over the Chen Jiajun! ”
"Haha, so you came up with all kinds of damage tactics to deal with them, and me! As everyone knows, the more you are like this, the more afraid and uneasy the court is, and in the long run, Chen Jiajun and the court will be suspicious of each other, and it will inevitably be a tragedy in the end! ”
Zhang Mengqi coughed a few times: "Dashuai, brothers, there are too many people here, it's not appropriate for us to talk about these!" ”
Li Xiaofei smiled: "Today's words are just for everyone to hear!" Reassuring everyone! I might as well tell the truth! The imperial court can't help Chen Jiajun at all now, and Chen Jiajun's salary is earned by himself! The strength of the Chen family's army is the sum of the other armies of the imperial court combined, and the combat power is much higher than theirs! Big brothers, say no! ”
"Haha, it's not us who blow, our soldiers can beat five of them one by one! The dry food in our camp is much better than that of the forbidden army! Feng Hengshan said it unscrupulously
"That's right! But, big brothers, what did you follow Chen Dashuai for? Chen Dashuai's one
Is the name of the world still in your hands? ”
"This, although we speak rudely, we are still loyal to the court!"
"But I really don't dare to compliment you big brother's style, if you are an official of the imperial court and walk to the camps, how will you feel when you go back? I know that all the big brothers and soldiers are loyal! But what you have done is so unruly! I know you're insecure! That's why it's like this, but have you ever thought about it, if you continue like this, the Chen family army will be destroyed in your hands! ”
"Well, don't talk about it, I also know what happened to Han Xin and Zhou Yafu! Since Chen Dashuai left, our brothers have made some trouble! But now that the court has been offended, can it be recovered? Zhang Mengqi looked at Li Xiaofei
"I said, why is Brother Zhang so confused? What is the difference between the imperial court now? Lack of money, lack of food, lack of people! What do the big brothers have in their hands? There is money, food, soldiers and horses! But if you show a little sincerity, will the emperor and the ministers mind your business? ”
"You mean to give gifts to the emperor and ministers? Will this work? ”
"Money can make ghosts grind, money, food, soldiers and horses will be given to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will do favors! If you go directly to give gifts to the ministers, then you will become a military general colluding with the ministers! This gift is for nothing! ”
"Okay, just listen to my brother, no, listen to Li Dashuai!"
At this time, it was not too late, Chen Zhong looked around: "Li Dashuai will give a lecture tonight, go and give orders!" Summons the captain of the 24th battalion to come for training! ”
Li Xiaofei comprehended: "Order!" Prepare dinner for everyone! Rush to the Yizi camp before the time! ”
It was the Yizi Battalion again, and all the generals and colonels of each battalion rushed over to meet Li Xiaofei before the hour.
Each battalion brought another 1,000 jars of wine, and they all had to accompany Li Xiaofei to drink.
Li Xiaofei drew his sword and stuck it on the ground: "Everyone! When Li went to Linjiang Kingdom, he had already sworn in front of His Majesty not to drink again! Today, Li drinks with the water of the Han River instead of wine with you! ”
As soon as someone shouted that he didn't drink what kind of general he was, Zhang Mengqi glared at the man.
Li Xiaofei drank half of the jar of river water, and his stomach was already swollen: "Brothers, Li can't drink anymore!" Drinking water can't compare to drinking water! Gather everyone to come today, the wine and meat have arrived! Li has something to say! ”
"I would like to listen to Li Dashuai's lecture!" Chen Zhong and Zhang Mengqi took the lead, and everyone got up neatly and hugged their fists
Li Xiaofei touched his stomach and took a deep breath: "From today on, I, Li Xiaofei, am willing to share wealth and hardship with you!" Since you have become a great handsome, there are also three chapters of the covenant to listen to with you! ”
"Please give me advice! We must obey! ”
"First, be loyal to the king and love the people! I hope that from today onwards, you will restrain yourselves and no longer despise the imperial court, nor humiliate civil officials again! Nor can we plunder the people and oppress the good! From now on, there will be those who despise the court and humiliate civil officials, and the spine will be fifty! Those who plunder the people and oppress the good will be decided! ”
"Second, brothers together! I, Li Xiaofei, will not leave a brother behind! Whatever is rewarded, let it be given to the brethren in full! Whoever abandons my Chen Jiajun and abandons his brothers, everyone will be punished! ”
Everyone waited for Li Xiaofei to say the third one, and Li Xiaofei looked at them: "I, Li Xiaofei, don't talk nonsense, just these two!" I hope you all can do it! ”
"Li Dashuai is mighty! Li Dashuai is mighty! ”
Five days later, the 24th battalion of the Chen family army together presented 30,000 stones of grain and grass to the imperial court, 5,000 altars of wine, 500,000 pieces of money, and 10,000 soldiers and horses.
