Chapter 642: Sigui
Cheng Xu's infiltration of Yixing Society into Zuo Xiaowei is extremely complicated emotionally. As a general, he naturally resented the existence of such an organization under his command, because this would greatly weaken his authority as the main general, and if it weren't for the official nature of the Yixing Society and the powerful backstage, he might have expelled these people a long time ago. But from another point of view, the existence of Yixing Society makes his subordinates extremely powerful, which makes people very embarrassed.
The source of Zuo Xiaowei's army is more complicated than that of other guards, Cheng Xu's original command, in the previous battles, has long died very little, and Zhang Zhongwu fought a battle, and in the end there were only about 300 people left, and these more than 300 people also constitute the main body of his current army. But Cheng Xu also knows that among these 300 people, many people have openly joined the Yixing Society, and as for the secret, there must still be some, but it is just a matter of more or less.
Qin Zhao's personal soldiers were the shallowest infiltrated by the Yixing Society, and Jin Shiyuan's command was the second. But compared with these two troops, Cheng Xu's command has the strongest combat effectiveness and stricter military discipline. Zuo Xiaowei has had previous big competitions, and in the end, it is always Cheng Xu and Li Hao who compete for the first place, and Qin Zhao's personal soldiers, no matter which of these two teams they meet, will be defeated.
This is the role of Yixing Society.
They are more united and selfless, and with their help, the recruits integrate into the team faster and improve their skills quickly. Internally, they are fiercely competitive and unrelenting. Externally, they are like conjoined brothers, with the same hatred.
And such an atmosphere, as far as Cheng Xu knows, is unlikely to exist in the general's personal army. If this continues, General Qin's direct troops will only get weaker and weaker compared to these troops.
Now Cheng Xu believes what Li Ze said, the army must have a soul, and the army must know what it is fighting for, so that such an army will become stronger and stronger and invincible in the world.
With the army of the Yixing Society, it seems that it really has a soul. Sometimes when those Yixing members preach their purpose in the army, Cheng Xu will also listen silently on the side, not to mention, after listening too much, Cheng Xu also feels that what they say is very reasonable.
Even I am changing unconsciously!
Faced with such a situation, Jin Shiyuan once put forward a proposition, that is, to exclude Yixing Society from Zuo Xiaowei, this bad idea, was rejected by General Qin and Cheng Xu on the spot.
Are you kidding?
Who is the president of Yee Hing Society?
That was Li Ze, the actual controller of the Zhenzhou Imperial Court.
I really dare to do this, but I am afraid that it is themselves who will be excluded in the end, not Yixing Society.
At least Cheng Xu knew that if he dared to say this in front of his subordinates, he would definitely be expelled from this army next.
Cheng Xu felt that now they were just the difference between a chronic suicide and an immediate death.
Li Ze said that the army can only be the army of the imperial court, not the army of the generals. This sounds right, but who is the imperial court now? The imperial court is Li Ze, so the army can only be Li Ze's army.
People like them are naturally not convinced.
But if it goes on like this, the army is indeed Li Ze's army.
"Regarding the abdication of His Majesty as the Emperor and the enthronement of the crown prince, I have already expressed my agreement with the table." Some cranky Cheng Xu was pulled back to reality by Qin Zhao's words. "You guys, sign it too, and sign it!"
Cheng Xu was slightly shocked, "General, have you already decided on this matter?" ”
"It's decided." Qin Zhao nodded. "Zuo Xiaowei is about to go on the expedition, the big war is imminent, this is the best opportunity, and Li Xiang will not refute us at this time."
"Does it work?" Jin Shiyuan sneered, but he picked up the pen and signed his name cleanly, "General, Your Majesty can't move now, you can't speak, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still a yellow-mouthed son, and he can't change the soup without changing the medicine." ”
"These things are things that Han Shangshu and Xue Shangshu are considering, not what I should consider. I can only do my own thing. Qin Zhao's mood was a little depressed. Justice-aside, his personal relationship with the emperor is undoubtedly the closest to the emperor among these people, and now he has a feeling of powerlessness, which makes him really a little depressed.
Knowing what Li Ze wanted to do, he couldn't find anything wrong with him.
Cheng Xu sighed and signed his name.
"It seems that Li Xiang is not very opposed to this matter." Putting away the folds, Qin Zhao said: "Xue Shangshu has launched a lot of clear streams to create public opinion among the people, but the Wuwei Academy is silent, and no one jumps out to oppose it. You also know how great the energy of Wuwei Academy is, and you also know that Wuwei Academy is Li Xiang's staunchest supporter, since Wuwei Academy is so quiet, it means that Li Xiang acquiesces in this matter. So, you don't have to worry too much. ”
Jin Shiyuan laughed: "I'm afraid that Li Xiang is leading the snake out of the hole, let's see how many people are dissatisfied with him, wait until these people jump out automatically, and then slowly clean up one by one." ”
Qin Zhao snorted: "You and I don't need to lure the snake out of the hole, it's like the sun in the night, it's bright and dazzling." ”
Cheng Xu and Jin Shiyuan both laughed, Qin Zhao said well, they don't have this name, does Li Ze think that they are not royalists?
The two said goodbye and left the Chinese army and walked out together. Outside, the soldiers had already brought the war horses to wait for the two.
"Lao Jin, let's go together!" Cheng Xu sent out an invitation.
"Okay, that's exactly what I mean." Jin Shiyuan nodded.
The two of them strolled casually through the streets of Dizhou.
"Now Dizhou has some prosperity in Chang'an." Jin Shiyuan sighed.
"Where can it be compared with Wuyi, Zhenzhou, etc." Cheng Xu shook his head and said: "I heard that Chang'an, Luoyang, is now withering badly. ”
"When it comes to governing the local government, strengthening the country and enriching the people, Zhu Wen and Li Xiang really can't compare." Jin Shiyuan shook his head and said: "Speaking of which, Zhu Wen's conditions are much better, but now, he is already too far behind, Pinglu, he can't take care of it, so he can only give up." But if he gives up one place today, and if he gives up another place tomorrow, in the end, what will he have left? ”
"You are confident in this battle!" Cheng Xu said with a smile.
"Aren't you?" Jin Shiyuan asked rhetorically: "It's just that we only have such a battle, after this battle, what are you going to do?" ”
"I don't know." Cheng Xu shook his head and said, "I will only lead troops to fight, and nothing else." ”
Jin Shiyuan paused and said, "Some time ago, I went to Haixing on a business trip, and on the dock, I met a fellow countryman. ”
"Where did you come from Chang'an?" Cheng Xu asked casually.
"My real fellow!" Kim Se-won emphasized.
"Great Qin?" Cheng Xu was surprised.
Jin Shiyuan nodded and said, "Yes, as soon as I look at his appearance, I know that we must be fellow countrymen." He saw me and was surprised. ”
"How many years has your family been in Datang! Chang'an is your hometown! Cheng Xu said disapprerovingly.
Jin Shiyuan smiled: "I've been talking with him for a long time, do you know, my hometown is in a mess now, everyone is calling around, and it's very lively." ”
"The soldiers are in a hurry, what's so good!" Cheng Xudao.
"Aren't we calling around here too!" Jin Shiyuan sighed: "Lao Cheng, after this battle, I want to beg to return." If General Qin agrees, Li Xiang must be happy to see me leave. ”
"You want to go back?"
Jin Shiyuan nodded: "I want to ask Li Xiang for a group of people, follow me back to my hometown, or where, I can still make a career." ”
"See your big head!" Cheng Xu snorted coldly: "Even if Li Xiang promises you to go and give you a team, how many people can you give?" Go back to be a bandit? ”
Jin Shiyuan laughed: "You don't understand this." My fellow talked about the war over there, it was like a joke, there were hundreds of people fighting, even if it was a big field, there were thousands of people immediately, it was amazing, and it can be recorded in history. It's like ours here, where tens of thousands of people and horses are often opposed. I asked them about their weaponry carefully, and although they have some unique features, on the whole, they are still not comparable to us. I'm going to recruit a group of people who are not afraid of death to go back with me when the time comes. Where to dig a piece of land and play for yourself. ”
Cheng Xu looked Jin Shiyuan up and down: "You seem to have made up your mind?" ”
Jin Shiyuan nodded: "Yes, otherwise after this battle, what are we going to do?" Maybe Li Xiang will throw us into that corner and put us in the mold, I'm still very young, and it's not time to retire! On such a day, even if high-ranking officials do it and Houlu takes it, what does it mean? Giving birth to a son at home every day and raising a son? ”
"I'm afraid that the general won't let you go!" Cheng Xu shook his head and said.
"Don't you see that the general is already meaningful? Knowing that you can't do anything, knowing that you won't get a satisfactory result by doing anything, you can see what the future will look like now, what is the meaning of such a life? The general is just doing his business now. Jin Shiyuan spread his hands: "So, when I say it, the general will definitely be willing to let me go." ”
"Go back, can you still get used to it?"
"What's not used to, I think when my ancestors came to Datang, didn't they also work all the way in a strange place? When they came, they were just commoners, but now when I go back, I am already a nobleman, and my starting point is higher than theirs. Kim Se-won said with a smile.
After looking at Jin Shiyuan for a long time, Cheng Xu sighed: "I have no place to go, so I can only live and die of old age, sickness and death on this land." ”
