Chapter 196: Cheng Pu's arrangement
Cheng Pu immediately reacted, although he also wanted to take over the 50,000 soldiers and horses, but he definitely couldn't agree so happily, and politely refused: "Thank you for your love, but my ability is shallow, it is really difficult to take on such a heavy responsibility, you should choose another capable person." ”
Yu turned forward and bowed: "The general is the Jiangdong general, he has assisted the two Jiangdong monarchs, and he also has a high prestige in the army, if the general does not take over this position, these 50,000 soldiers and horses will be chaotic, and I hope that the general will take Jiangdong as the priority and temporarily take over the 50,000 army!" ”
Everyone also bowed one after another: "Please also ask the general to take Jiangdong as the most important thing and take on this position!! ”
Huang Gai saw everyone's performance, and also knew that it would be impossible to directly let Sun Quan take over the 50,000 soldiers and horses, and now it is not a good thing to let Cheng Pu temporarily take charge of 50,000 soldiers and horses, after all, he and Cheng Pu are both Jiangdong generals, and they have deep feelings like brothers, I believe that Cheng Pu will definitely make the same choice as him, Huang Gai hurriedly gave Cheng Pu a look, and asked him to quickly agree, in case there are any more extraneous branches!
Cheng Pu bowed to everyone and said: "Since the monarchs trust me so much, then I can only take over this position, but I have an ugly sentence to say in front, if I take over this position, the monarchs will obey my orders, if there is a violation of military law, ruthless!" ”
Everyone bowed and said, "I am willing to obey the general's orders!" ”
"Good! In that case, then I will take over these 50,000 soldiers and horses for the time being according to the will of the kings! ”
Cheng Pu stepped forward with his sword and said: "The 50,000 soldiers and horses of the Dantu camp are the foundation of my Jiangdong, and there must be no turmoil, now the situation is complicated, and rumors from the outside must not be allowed to enter the army to affect the morale of the army!" Who is on duty today? ”
Xu Sheng stepped forward and bowed: "General Hui, today is the last general on duty!" ”
Cheng Pu ordered: "You immediately go to rectify the military affairs, the Dantu camp implements martial law, immediately close the gate of the camp, no one can enter or leave without my order, form a patrol team to patrol the camp, let the sergeants return to the account and not move around, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!" ”
"No, the last general will take the order!"
Xu Sheng bowed down and hurriedly went to the martial law camp, with Xu Sheng's actions, the Dantu Jiangdong camp closed the gate, and the Jiangdong sergeants also returned to their respective military tents, and the noisy Jiangdong military camp quickly calmed down.
After Xu Sheng retired, Cheng Pu swept around the generals, and finally looked at Tai Shici and said: "Ziyi, most of your troops are horsemen in the army, so you will be the scout and ranger, you will divide the cavalry under your command into three teams, and take turns patrolling the perimeter of the camp day and night, no one is allowed to approach within twenty miles of the camp, and those who violate the order will be warned first, and those who dare to trespass will not be killed!" ”
Tai Shi Ci first proposed to let Cheng Pu take over the 50,000 army, Cheng Pu now gets what he wants, then he has to return Tai Shi Ci no matter what, since Tai Shi Ci is against letting Sun Quan enter the camp to take over the army, then Cheng Pu will let him take charge of the surrounding rangers, so that Sun Quan will definitely have no way to bypass Tai Shi Ci and enter the camp.
Of course, the reason why Cheng Pu wants to do this is not entirely to repay Tai Shi Ci's favor, he also has the intention of appeasing Tai Shi Ci and his generals in doing so, after all, he and Huang Gai have a very deep relationship, if Tai Shi Ci is not allowed to take charge of some affairs, it will inevitably make the generals of their faction suspicious, will he Cheng Pu cooperate with Huang Gai to integrate Sun Quan into the camp to fight first!
Tai Shi Ci opposed Sun Quan to take over the army, this is certainly not his own meaning, he represents the hearts of those generals who Sun Ce personally subdued after entering Jiangdong, including Tai Shi Ci, Dong Xi and others, they are Sun Ce's descendants, and now Sun Ce's son Sun Shao is the most orthodox heir in Jiangdong, so the generals of their faction have become Sun Shao's biggest supporters around Sun Ce, if Sun Ce's younger brother Sun Quan takes over the power, they will definitely be marginalized as Sun Shao's hardcore supporters, After all, once a son of heaven and a courtier, Sun Quan would definitely not reuse them if he was wary of Sun Shao!
Cheng Pu put Tai Shi Ci in charge of the matter of the ranger scouts, just to show his intentions, he would never secretly take Sun Quan into the camp to take charge of the army, so as not to cause turmoil in the hearts of Tai Shi Ci and others.
Although Tai Shici's personality is a little stiffer, he is also a smart person, and he understood Cheng Pu's mind in an instant, and said: "The last general will live up to the general's trust, and will never let suspicious people approach our army camp!" ”
Cheng Pu nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and then said: "You send more scouts to patrol the riverside, the assassination of the lord is not Guangling Chen Deng's plan, you must be more vigilant to prevent Guangling soldiers and horses from sneaking up on our army's camp!" ”
Tai Shi Ci bowed down and responded: "No, the last general will be ordered, and he will be strictly guarded!" ”
Cheng Pu thought for a while and had nothing else to instruct, and then moved on to the next topic, saying: "General Ziyi also said just now, our army is unstable, and the situation in Jiangdong is also unclear. ”
"The lord's wife's family and the old lady are still in Wu County, as well as Zhang Zibu and Zhou Gongjin, the two of them are the heads of the civil and military forces in Jiangdong and I respectively, how to arrange the lord's funeral, they have to be present! Now that my army can't move lightly, and the corpse of the lord can't be returned, I can only take them to the Dantu, and then deal with the lord's funeral! ”
Cheng Pu thought of this, hesitated for a moment, and finally looked at Yu and said: "Zhong Xiang, you immediately write a letter to send the situation here to Wu County quickly, and let Zhang Zibu and the old lady lead everyone to Dantu to deal with the affairs of the lord!" ”
Yu turned over and bowed and said: "Nuo, under the order, this matter is urgent, I will go to arrange this matter!" ”
After arranging this matter, Cheng Pu continued to look at Tai Shici and said, "General Ziyi, I will send a letter from you to send the situation here to Wuhu quickly, let Zhou Gongjin arrange the affairs of the navy, and then hurry to Dantu to deal with the affairs of the lord!" ”
Tai Shi Ci bowed down and responded: "No, the last general will receive the order, and I will go to deal with this matter!" ”
Zhang Zhao is the head of the Jiangdong Wenchen, and has a good relationship with the Jiangdong Shi clan, Yu Tuo is a child of the Jiangdong Shi clan, and Yu Zhao wrote a letter to Zhang Zhao, and he will definitely write the meaning of the expression to Zhang Zhao; Zhou Yu and Tai Shi Ci are Sun Ce's confidants, and Tai Shi Ci and Zhou Yu have a very good relationship, let Tai Shi Ci write a letter to Zhou Yu, and he will definitely tell Zhou Yu everything that happened here.
Cheng Pu arranged these two things like this, which can be regarded as painstaking, at least he was impartial, and everyone in the tent was relieved to see that Cheng Pu was fair.
"Okay, you all go down, go and pacify your sergeants, if there is any turmoil in any of the soldiers and horses, I will not spare it!"
"No, I'll take the order!"
