After a pause, Li Xinchen continued: "Even if the Metropolitan Governor and General Wu Yi are in person, I am afraid that I will feel relieved to hear that you brothers have so many lessons and experiences, and an army that knows that learning from experience and working hard is the army that my Dachen relies on as the mainstay. ”

The surrounding soldiers all subconsciously held their breath, obviously Li Xinchen's words reached their hearts, and even forcibly raised their braggings after drinking to a higher level, which naturally made them feel a little more good for Li Xinchen in their hearts.

This guy really can talk!

And Li Xinchen glanced at Yuan Ying, who was frowning, and said with a smile: "And Yuan Senjun said that the soldiers slandered General Wu Yi or slandered the Metropolitan Governor, I don't know who Yuan Senjun heard and how did he know, can you point out that person, and can you tell what that person said, so that the soldiers and a certain person have a clear understanding?" ”

Beads of sweat were already on Yuan Ying's forehead, and the soldiers around him were staring at him with wide eyes, and there was a faint anger beating in everyone's eyes, this Yuan Ying wanted to pour dirty water on them, of course they didn't want to, this kind of slanderous words against the boss, even if it was really said unintentionally, it was resolutely impossible to admit it at this time.

Yuan Ying also realized at this time that he had fallen into Li Xinchen's trap, in fact, Li Xinchen's counterattack method was the same as his, and he was still mobilizing these soldiers, after all, for these soldiers, although Yuan Ying was reasonable, it also meant that they had to pay a certain price for slandering their bosses, of course they were unwilling.

Subconsciously looking around, Yuan Ying found that the surroundings were already full of soldiers who were "waiting for him to explain", and the few relatives who followed him had long since disappeared at this time.

"Brothers, how dare you slander us by beating this guy!" I don't know who yelled first, and then the soldiers who wanted to fight with red eyes just now rushed towards this Yuan Ying in unison.

For this somewhat dramatic change, Li Xinchen couldn't help but smile bitterly, and could only wish that this Yuan joined the army with a thicker skin, but for the sake of his thick skin, it is estimated that he should be fine. And Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie next to him also looked at each other and smiled bitterly, obviously Li Xinchen's rebuttal was even more a means of inciting the army, so they also secretly admired.

It is the most clever to govern others in the way of others.

What these soldiers actually need is just a person to vent to, and they can do anything, so Li Xinchen simply shifted the reason for their venting from the topic of who is more powerful between Wu Mingche and Xiao Maha to Yuan Ying's desire to slander them, so as to cleverly avoid the sergeant's suspicion of Xiao Maha.

"Let's go, we shouldn't have to worry about it here." Pei Zilie chuckled, "At least beat this Yuan Ying, and the soldiers here can be regarded as acquiescing in the handover between General Xiao and the Grand Duke." This military heart is still General Xiao's. I have a private room on the second floor, why don't we go in and have a few glasses of wine and rest······ The wine in this restaurant is really not said. ”

Li Xinchen also nodded, in fact, all he did was to reinterpret Yuan Ying's words from the perspective of the soldiers, in the final analysis, everything was so easy, the main thing was that Xiao Maha had a strong reputation among the soldiers.

For these soldiers who have survived a hundred battles on the battlefield, it is still the real strong who are respected. This Yuan Ying wanted to provoke the soldiers' trust in Xiao Maha or Wu Mingche in just a few words, which was a little naïve.

"Did Yangzhou Thorn Shi send such small fish and shrimp?" Xiao Shilian frowned, looking at the chaotic downstairs, then Yuan Ying didn't have to think about it, and he was sure that the end would not be much better. Especially if the law does not blame the public, even if Wu Mingche and Xiao Maha really want to punish them, I am afraid there is no way to attack these hundreds of people.

What's more······ Wu Mingche and Xiao Shilian would definitely not be stupid enough to punish these soldiers who came out to defend them, and most of this matter passed with one eye closed.

"General Wu Yi has a reputation in the army, and the Yangzhou Assassin naturally won't expect to start here." Pei Zilie smiled bitterly, "If it is a certain Yangzhou assassin history, it must be mainly done on the generals, after all, these soldiers still have to obey the orders of their own generals in the end, as long as they can win the generals, even if the people below are not satisfied, it is useless." ”

"The main thing is what the Yangzhou Assassin wants," Li Xinchen propped up the table with his hand and said with a frown, "Is it an army loyal to him, or General Wu Yi who is loyal to him." He wants a big army······ Will Your Majesty agree? ”

Pei Zilie and Xiao Shilian's faces changed slightly, and they subconsciously glanced at each other.

You must know that although Chen Ji has always put Chen Shuling outside, he has never given Chen Shuling complete control of the army from beginning to end, whether it is Fan Yi or Wu Mingche, although it seems to be on an equal footing with Chen Shuling, or even one level lower than him, but in fact, the army is in their hands, Wu Mingche is responsible for the offensive on the eastern front, Fan Yi is responsible for the defense of the western front, and the division of labor is clear, which is clearly not intended to give Chen Shuling the opportunity to control the army.

Now, even if there is a problem with the transition of the army's power from Wu Mingche to Xiao Maha, Chen Ji will not sit idly by and watch the army be controlled by his second son, because this will only lead to the struggle between Chen Shubao and Chen Shuling from secretly stumbling on each other before to finally becoming clear and white-hot.

Once Chen Ji intervenes, Chen Shuling will only give up his previous efforts.

Could it be that Li Xinchen, Pei Zilie and others can see through the inevitability, but Chen Shuling can't see through it? Now Chen Ji is only in his fifties, not old, of course, he still has the strength to fight wits and courage with his own son, as long as Chen Shuling is not stupid, he will not challenge his father's authority at this time, Chen Ji intervenes, Chen Shuling does not even have the ability to fight back.

"No, the Yangzhou Assassin will definitely not force General Wu Yi to give up the power controlled by the army, because that means that he will also give up everything he has worked hard for." Li Xinchen said in a deep voice, "His best choice is to force General Wu Yi to remain neutral." ”

"What do you mean ······?" Xiao Shilian was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

Pei Zilie played with the wine glass on the table: "Brother Li is right, everything that Yangzhou Assassin Shi is doing now, whether it is provoking soldiers or liaising with the generals in the army, is actually more to let General Wu Yi see the power he can control in his hands, so that General Wu Yi will retreat." For the history of Yangzhou Assassination, he now has an advantage in terms of age and merit, and the previous attitude of the governor of the capital who did not help him was actually very beneficial to him, as long as General Wu Yi continued to maintain this attitude, it was enough. ”

"But ······" Xiao Shilian was in no mood to care about the re-prepared wine and food on the table at this time, and frowned helplessly, "With Daddy's temperament, he will definitely not ······"

Li Xinchen and Pei Zilie glanced at each other and bowed their heads at the same time.
