Chapter 219: Declaration of War
After being ridiculed in public by Qin Mubai lukewarmly, Du Chengyuan's face changed significantly, and he was very embarrassed. He forced a smile and said in a low voice: "General Qin, please forgive me, I have always been good at words, and if there is anything offensive in my words, I will make amends to you for my sins." β
"That's it." Qin Mubai waved his hand and said, "It's just that this Feng Dao Scar has no military discipline and openly insults Shangguan in the military camp to gather people to rebel, how to deal with it?" β
"This ......" Du Chengyuan frowned in embarrassment, rolled his eyes a few times, and said, "There are many people here, why don't we discuss it privately?" β
"Counsel?" Qin Mubai was stunned and said, "You should buy side dishes in the vegetable market, do you still have to bargain between the buyer and the seller?" Come on, first tie up Feng Daosha, a thief with no military discipline! β
"Yes!"
Several hundred horsemen rushed forward and dragged Feng Scar up from the ground like a dead pig, and tied it up firmly.
There were still one or two hundred sailors watching, and Du Chengyuan's face was even more ugly.
"General Qin...... How about saving some face in front of all the brothers? Du Chengyuan said in a low voice, "Everyone knows that Feng Scar is my brother-in-law, if he commits a crime, I will definitely reprimand him again, and I will also strictly discipline him when I go back to ensure that he will never do it again in the future." β
"General Du, this general is also bothering you to figure out one thing. Feng Scar is now violating military rules, not just offending anyone. If there is a law that is not followed, how can we serve the people, and what will we take to restrain the army in the future? Feng Scar is your brother-in-law, and this has nothing to do with the fact that he will be punished for violating military regulations. Don't worry, I will deal with him in accordance with military regulations, and I will give you an explanation. β
After saying that, Qin Mubai raised the corner of his mouth with a cold smile, reached out and patted his chest: "Let's see you later." β
With Pang Fei and the hundreds of riders, holding Feng Daoscar, who was tied up with five flowers, Qin Mubai and his party waited for the long way up.
Du Chengyuan's face was already white, his teeth were biting to the bone, his eyes narrowed, and his murderous aura burst out.
Zhao Chong was in place, feeling that he was not a human being, and he was the most embarrassed. So he had no choice but to walk up to Du Chengyuan and whispered, "General Du, please calm your anger." Presumably, Qin Mubai is just a new official who wants to show his prestige in public, and he will definitely not do anything to Feng Scar. β
"Smack-"
Du Chengyuan suddenly attacked, waved his hand violently and slapped Zhao Chong's big mouth, gritted his teeth and shouted: "You eat things inside and outside!" β
The onlookers exclaimed, and suddenly they scattered in a big circle. It can be seen that they are extremely afraid of Du Chengyuan.
"IβWhat did I do?" Zhao Chong was shocked and angry, touching his face and staring at Du Chengyuan with wide eyes.
"Get out-" Du Chengyuan waved his hand and roared, and the onlookers suddenly scattered, and instantly ran away.
"What did you do, don't you know?" Du Chengyuan walked up to Zhao Chong, lifted the placket on his chest and looked at him, gritting his teeth and hating: "As soon as Qin Mubai came, you took refuge in him." Didn't he invite you to the inn to meet him last time, what did you tell him in private? β
"I didn't say anything!" Zhao Chong was speechless, and said aggrievedly, "What will I tell him?" I didn't even take refuge in him! β
"Still quibbling!" Du Chengyuan reprimanded sharply, "You were helping him deal with Feng Scar just now, otherwise things could have gotten so far?" β
"I didn't!" Zhao Chong hurriedly said, "Feng Daoscar ignores military regulations and takes people out to prostitute and sleep, and that's it; After coming back, one or two hundred people will be organized to go out of the camp to fight...... If this thing is really going to be a disturbance, it will be really big. Qin Mubai's new official took office and waited to catch a few guys who came out and kill Liwei, wouldn't it be a bigger trouble when the time came? I'm actually really for his good, I'm afraid that he will make a big fuss! And I expected him to treat my kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs, and insulted me in public...... I didn't expect Qin Mubai to come to the barracks tonight, and he was directly alarmed! β
Du Chengyuan glared at Zhao Chong angrily, his eyes rolled for a moment, then he let go of his hand, his face eased and he gently patted the placket on his chest, and said with a pleasant face: "Okay, I wronged you." You have to remember that we are the people in the same boat, and Qin Mubai wants to hit our boat into the boat and kill us. At such a time, we must unite with the outside world, and we must not be negligent! β
"Yes, I remember." Zhao Chong lowered his head, gritted his teeth gently, and responded.
Du Chengyuan let out a long breath and snorted in an urn voice: "Feng Scar is just a poor substitute for the dead, in fact, he fought with me...... Well, I'd like to see what he wants. β
Zhao Chong couldn't help but reach out and touch his hot cheeks, and looked around, although there was no one around, he always felt that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him, ridiculing and sarcastically in front of Du Chengyuan, not even a dog.
"Go, call all the brothers overnight, let's discuss it first!" Du Chengyuan gave the order.
"Yes......" Zhao Chong helplessly hugged his fists and bowed, and left.
In the tent of the commander of the Chinese army.
"The surname is Qin, you abuse your power to declare personal vendettas!" Outside the tent, Feng Daoscar was still shouting.
Annoyed, one of the guards threw Feng Scar into the tent. Feng Scar was tied up and staggered a few steps under his feet, and another guard stepped forward and grabbed him, grabbed his hair and pressed it down, his knee straight to his chest. Feng Dao Scar fell to the sky on his back, his huge body fell to the ground like a collapsed cement wallboard, and he suddenly curled up into a ball without humming, and he rolled his eyes and twitched when he was out of breath and less in breath.
"Cut off the thief's skinny bird's head!" The guards yelled angrily.
No wonder everyone is so angry. Even in Chang'an, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, even in places like the Imperial Palace, no one dared to insult any of the hundred cavalry soldiers in public, let alone target Qin Mubai!
"Stop, you can't kill him yet." Qin Mubai snorted lightly, and the guards snorted coldly and stood aside.
Qin Mubai sat down on the wide handsome chair, squinted at Feng Scar, who was lying on the ground and was humming and twitching, and said, "First throw this thief into the prison, so that he can take care of it." β
"Yes." The guards directly dragged Feng Scar, wiped the ground and left the military tent.
"General, although this thief is hateful, he is just relying on Du Chengyuan to be arrogant." Pang Fei said, "As the saying goes, beating a dog and bullying the master, if you caught him in public today, Du Chengyuan must be annoyed and angry." β
"I did it on purpose." Qin Mubai said coldly, "I just want to see what happens when he gets angry." β
Pang Fei furrowed his brows and said, "I stayed in the military camp for a few days, and I felt that this was his own world." I inquired privately and learned that the Xiangzhou Military Government had changed four or five Lieutenants of Zhichong and Guoyi in the past three years, but he Du Chengyuan had never been replaced. It is said that the previous lieutenant Zhichong was slapped by him in public because of his disagreement with Du Chengyuan, so he never came to the barracks again because he was sick, and he asked to leave his post soon after. This guy has a habit of slapping people. If anyone offends him, he will definitely be tied up by him, and his face will be swollen and his teeth will fall out before he is willing. β
Qin Mubai raised one hand and touched his chin, and said with a smile: "This is an interesting habit." You say, how would he feel if I smoked him like that? β
"He will not hesitate to gather a crowd to force the palace to oppose you!" Pang Fei said decisively, "In this military mansion, at least more than eighty percent of the military schools are his henchmen. Let's just say Zhao Chong, who used to be a night incense in Xiangyang City, because of his good water nature and some bravery, he took a fancy to him, so he took him to the barracks and became a mercenary, and promoted him to a lieutenant overnight, and he has been working for three or four years. β
"So, in the Xiangzhou Military Mansion, he really has the final say?" Qin Mubai frowned and said, "The Chinese Army Yue Cavalry is also his people?" β
"Yes. After being arrested and imprisoned a few years ago, Du Chengyuan released him to buy him as a confidant and used it for a long time as a thug to protect the hospital. Two years ago, he was placed in the barracks, joined the Vietnamese cavalry, and became a team leader half a year ago. Pang Fei said like a few family treasures, "Others, such as Changshi, Sima, and Cao joined the army, and most of them were his people. In the Xiangzhou Military Mansion, it is simply that those who follow others prosper and those who rebel against others die. β
"Huh! I didn't expect this seemingly polite guy to have some ability. Qin Mubai sneered, "In this way, aren't we isolated?" β
"According to the current situation, we only have these hundred cavalry brothers who came from Chang'an, who can be trusted and relied on." Pang Fei said.
Qin Mubai put his right hand on the table, and gently tapped his index and middle fingers on the table in a rhythmic manner, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.
"The teacher seems to have a plan to deal with him?" Pang Fei asked.
As the saying goes, there are three fires for new officials to take office. My first fire is to capture the thief and capture the king, destroy his prestige of Du Chengyuan, and erect my own grace. Qin Mubai said, "The Xiangzhou Military Government has changed the generals one after another, and they were obviously forced to leave because of discord with Du Chengyuan." Oh, others are afraid of him, but I may not. Didn't he just rely on his background in the Du clan in Chang'an, and he had good friends with Wei Huanchen and others in Xiangzhou, and his power was huge? This time, I won't play any conspiracy, and I'll go straight to him. I want to see, even if I offend Chang'an Du, what can I do? Even if I slapped him Du Chengyuan's face in public, what would he dare to do? β
"That's it!" Pang Fei's eyebrows suddenly fluttered, and he felt a little angry, and said, "The Chang'an Du family is indeed a wealthy nobleman, and no one dares to mess with them when they are respected by ordinary people." But Du Ruhui's son, Du He, the commander of the horses, is not now a dispensable small role under the command of King Wei? When he saw his teacher, he had to be polite, because the teacher was personally invited by King Wei, and he didn't invite the lord in the past. Besides, even if Du Chengyuan really jumped over the wall in a hurry and gathered a crowd to commit a violent rebellion, although we are few people, we may not be afraid of their rabble! β
"It's called, one force over all the skill." The corners of Qin Mubai's mouth twitched, and he smiled coldly, "I let him have a thousand tricks and tricks, this time, I will eat him to death!" Tomorrow's public trial of Feng Dao Scar will determine the crime, and then we will know! β
"Great!" Pang Fei was overjoyed and said excitedly, "I've been in Xiangzhou for so long, and there are so many things to be aggrieved!" It's finally time to vent! β
The next day, early in the morning.
The Chinese army's big drum rang out a stick of incense earlier than usual, and the roar rumbled, shaking the entire barracks trembling.
Some of the sergeants who were used to sleeping lazily on weekdays were awakened, got up one after another, slowly put on their military uniforms, lifted their weapons, and ran to the school field. Everyone told each other that the new Lieutenant Zhichong had finally come to take up his post and personally presided over the morning training today. Only then did the sergeants cheer up a little and quickly assemble on the school grounds.
Qin Mubai put on a golden helmet and a treasure sword, and there was still the angry Qilin robe floating behind him, standing majestically on the general's platform, watching more than a thousand sergeants under the stage assemble.
Du Chengyuan and the upper and lower officials of the military government all arrived, and together they got on the general platform and stood behind Qin Mubai, standing with their hands down. Everyone exchanged a glance from time to time, and they were a little nervous with a ghost in their hearts.
Three drums, one horn.
"Killβ"
The whole army shouted mightily, raised their guns and slammed them forward. The armor and guns were like frost, and the audience was silent.
The trumpet was extinguished, and the army assembly was completed.
Qin Mubai cut his hands and looked around, and more than a thousand people also looked at him and looked at each other.
No one in the audience spoke, and everyone's breathing seemed to be in harmony with the slight morning breeze, blowing the flags on the stage lightly.
"I, Qin Mubai, will be your general from today onwards!" Qin Mubai was full of anger and suddenly shouted, shocking many people behind him.
"That is, from today onwards, all the officers and men of the Xiangzhou Military Government only need to do two things." Qin Mubai said loudly: "First, abide by military regulations and obey orders; The second is that Qin Mubai obeys my orders! β
A few big drinks, so shocked that Du Chengyuan and the others behind him couldn't help but take a few breaths: This person has enough middle qi, he must be the cultivation of some internal kung fu!
"After I finish speaking, if anyone is against it, stand up."
Qin Mubai threw down this sentence, and the audience was silent. Most of the many officers and generals behind him were holding their breath, raising their hearts to their throats, and they all thought: There is going to be a war, there is going to be a war! Qin Mubai is obviously openly declaring war on Du Chengyuan!
