Chapter 271: Wei Chigong was deflated
After the-for-tat confrontation between Li Chengqian and Wei Chigong, several generals in the tent also understood that the current Li Chengqian must not be provoked.
In case he is killed by him, who will he go to to redress his grievances?
Therefore, Li Chengqian's next arrangement was very smooth, and Li Chengqian decided to order Su Dingfang to lead the guards of the East Palace, Qiu Xinggong and Cheng Wuting's deputy to guard him to go south.
Wang Fangyi left Acting Lieutenant Chi Gong to lead the whole army, and Wang Qun and his spy organization left a part to assist Wang Fangyi.
At the same time, he ordered Liu Renliang to stay and lead the remaining Turkic troops, and the offerings to the East Palace brought by Liu Renliang were left to continue to do ideological education work for the soldiers, including the Turks.
Wei Chigong looked at all Li Chengqian's arrangements coldly, and said disdainfully: The old man is also a military warrior who has been in the Tang Army for many years, so with your means, you want to use a Wang Fangyi whose fetal hair has not yet faded to stand up for the old man?
Wei Chigong resigned from his official post the year before last and stayed at home to provide for the elderly, and this was the first time that Li Chengqian had asked Shimin to go out of the mountains to accompany him to protect him.
When Li Shimin's edict ordered him to seize Li Chengqian's military power, he fell into a dilemma, originally he wanted to turn a blind eye and leave Wang Fangyi on behalf of Li Chengqian. Unexpectedly, Li Chengde actually asked everything to lead the army as he did when he did, which made Wei Chigong unacceptable, so he reminded Li Chengqian to let go.
As a result, the swords of the two sides almost splashed blood on the spot, which made Wei Chigong fall to the point of having to fight.
The generals led by Li Chengqian were arranged, and all the middle- and low-ranking officers in the army and the combat heroes selected by him were gathered in front of the big tent of the Chinese army.
Hundreds of middle- and low-ranking officers and hundreds of soldiers who killed more enemies in battle, totaling nearly 1,000 people, stood in front of Li Chengqian's big tent of the Chinese army in a uniform manner.
Many of these soldiers had been seriously wounded and could have died, because when they met Li Chengqian, not only did they recover from their wounds, but Li Chengqian also promised them to establish an officer training school in northern Xinjiang to train all these people.
In recent days, Li Chengqian has also taken special care of these people, so these people have become Li Chengqian's brainless fans.
When Li Chengqian appeared at the door of the big tent, nearly a thousand soldiers saluted him excitedly, Li Chengqian helped Liu Kui to walk onto the earthen platform at the door, his eyes slowly swept over the soldiers, and he looked at his excited face, and he was quite relieved in his heart.
At the moment, he did not hesitate and said loudly: "Because His Majesty decrees to miss the lonely king, the lonely king will take the soldiers of the sixth rate of the East Palace to go to Xingzai first, and you will be the commander of the Duke of Hubei in the future." β
When Li Chengqian said this, there was a "buzz" below, and the soldiers began to talk in a whisper.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said he was going to go first?"
"Is it true?"
β¦β¦
The people standing next to each other were confirming each other whether this was true, and Li Chengqian stretched out his hands to signal everyone to be quiet.
Some people who had personally received Li Chengqian's favor turned red when they looked at Li Chengqian's kind smile.
After the soldiers were quiet, Li Chengqian pulled Wang Fangyi to stand beside him and said: "Although the lonely king left first, the lonely king will leave Wang Fangyi behind to assist the Duke of E to lead you to continue to build up military achievements in the south, you must obey Wang Fangyi's orders, and you must act according to the current rules whether you are alone or not." β
"The ministers respectfully follow the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." All the soldiers said in unison when they heard this.
Seeing this, Li Chengqian nodded and motioned for Wang Fangyi to step forward and speak.
Wang Fangyi took a step forward and looked at everyone with a solemn face, and only when the soldiers below looked at him did he speak firmly: "We are deeply favored by the country and have the blue eyes of His Royal Highness the Prince, only if we are loyal to the Tang Dynasty, loyal to Your Majesty, loyal to His Royal Highness the Prince, and only after death, we will never be reluctant." β
As soon as Wang Fangyi finished speaking, someone below shouted loudly: "Loyal to His Royal Highness the Prince, he has ...... after death."
At first, some people shouted, and then nearly 1,000 soldiers shouted like this, and the sound rumbled throughout the whole building.
Wei Chigong couldn't help sneering when he saw that Li Chengqian really treated him as an ornament, and when he heard Wang Fangyi say to Li Chengqian that he was loyal to him, he would never be reluctant, and said secretly in his heart: When Li Chengqian is gone, see if you are reluctant?
After a while, Wang Fangyi raised his hands to suppress everyone's voices, and said loudly: "All the soldiers listen to the order, Your Majesty ordered me to escort Xue Yantuo's head to Xingzai, and encircle the 200,000 allied troops in Mobei along the way, now you will go back immediately to prepare, and the whole army will set off for the south early tomorrow morning." β
"Obey the command." The heartbeats of the people below seem to have been tuned to a channel, and the answer is very timely.
Seeing that nearly a thousand middle- and low-level generals and soldiers in the army were about to disband after listening to Wang Fangyi's order, Wei Chigong's face turned blue with anger in the back, and he stepped in front of Wang Fangyi in two steps and shouted angrily: "Wang Fangyi, why are you good at giving orders instead of the old man?"
"The order was wrong?" Before Wang Fangyi could say anything, Li Chengqian next to him had already stepped forward and asked coldly.
"Hmph"
Although Wei Chigong was furious, he was unwilling to engage in a verbal dispute with Li Chengqian, and snorted angrily to express his dissatisfaction.
Li Chengqian didn't let him go, looked at him and said solemnly: "Just now, the Duke of Eguo claimed to be old and begged the king to leave Wang Fangyi to lead the army, and the general order he gave was not wrong, so why should the Duke of Eguo stop it. It must be known that the army belongs to the Tang Dynasty, not any general, as long as the thing is done in accordance with the orders of the imperial court and is conducive to the Tang Dynasty, everyone in the army must strictly implement it.
As a veteran in the army, the Duke of Eguo should pick up the gaps for young people, how can you forcibly make things difficult for General Wang's correct orders for the sake of your own prestige? β
After listening to Li Chengqian's words, the soldiers who had not yet disbanded nodded in approval, but Wei Chigong looked at Li Chengqian with wide eyes, and scolded in his heart: Which bastard wants to take military power as his own?
Li Chengqian saw that Wei Chigong's prestige was almost suppressed, so he turned around and entered the big tent, and everyone else had everything to deal with, and they dispersed.
Because Li Shimin's will was that Li Chengqian had to leave the barracks on the day he received the edict, after lunch, Su Dingfang sorted out the six rates of the East Palace according to Li Chengqian's requirements, and escorted Li Chengqian out of the camp and went south.
Wei Chigong sent Li Chengqian out of the camp with a black face, and looked at Li Chengqian and his party who led 8,000 cavalry all the way away, and Wei Chigong snorted angrily again.
I thought to myself, I didn't expect this Li Chengqian to do things so excessively, Lao Tzu was really blind and thought he was not bad before.
In fact, many things Li Chengqian did along the way were very excessive, but he didn't target him Wei Chigong, and many times he still felt very good.
Wei Chigong scolded Li Chengqian and turned around and saw Wang Fangyi, originally he was also very optimistic about Wang Fangyi, Wang Fangyi was young and old and had strong ability to do things, and he could handle the affairs of the army properly at the age of eighteen, Wei Chigong thought that Wang Fangyi would become a pillar of the Tang Dynasty in the future.
But at this time, looking at Wang Fangyi's appearance of seriously carrying out Li Chengqian's orders, it was really uncomfortable to look at.
"Radium drum, raise the account!" Wei Chigong glared at Wang Fangyi, and while ordering loudly, he strode towards the big tent of the Chinese army.
"All ......"
The three drums sounded, and all the generals gathered in the big tent of the Chinese army, Wei Chigong walked to the handsome seat in the middle with a dark face and sat down, clasped his fists with his hands to the sky, and said in a rough voice: "Your Majesty Shengming, add the old man as the general manager of the Lingzhou Marching Road to lead the armyββ"
"Boss, please!" Wang Fangyi stood up and interrupted him with a serious expression.
"Bang!"
"Presumptuous!" Wei Chigong slammed the table and said.
In the face of Wei Chigong's angry shouting, Wang Fangyi was not afraid, and still looked at Wei Chigong who was sitting in Li Chengqian's original seat with a serious face.
Seeing this, Wei Chigong became more and more angry, Huo Di got up and stared at Wang Fangyi condescendingly, panting like a cow and said, "Come on, drag this unofficial boy out and beat the twenty military sticks." β
Wang Fangyi's identity is special, and Wei Chi Gong did not dare to kill him easily, which is also the reason why Li Chengqian kept Wang Fangyi.
No one moved for a long time, and there was only the panting sound of Wei Chigong in the big tent.
Just when Wei Chigong was about to attack, Wang Fangyi said coldly: "This big tent was originally the sweat tent of Xue Yantuo Khan Yinan, and this seat is the throne of Yinan Khan, and later His Royal Highness the Crown Prince settled in this tent, and this seat is the throne of His Royal Highness the Prince." Speaking of this, he didn't speak anymore, and only stared at Wei Chigong with his eyes.
Yi Nan is the Xue Yantuo Khan who has been crowned by the Tang Dynasty, which is equivalent to the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and his seat is actually a throne, and Li Chengqian's sitting is considered low. But whether it is Yi Nan or Li Chengqian, where Wei Chi Gong sat down, he sat on it directly, and that was a crime.
Wei Chigong immediately calmed down when he heard this, and looked at the faces of the generals in the tent, and saw that except for Qi Qi He Li who looked at him with a wry smile on his face, the eyes of the other generals loyal to Li Chengqian had begun to look at him unkindly.
This matter can be big or small, as Wei Chigong, Li Shimin will not punish him for his felony, but Wei Chigong no longer has the face to stay here. As soon as he flicked his sleeves and bowed his head, he left, and since then, Wei Chigong never mentioned the radium drum gathering generals, and all the affairs in the camp were handled by Wang Fangyi.
