Chapter 231: Seize Military Power!
At this moment, it is already early summer, and in this place of Longzhi, although the temperature is not too high, it is warm and breezy, giving people a sense of non-insect clothing.
The sun is shining.
Outside Shuofang City, a temporary point platform was set up, and a chair was placed on the point platform, covered with a breathtaking tiger skin. In front of the seat, there was a solemn table, and there was nothing else on the table, only an arrow and a Longquan sword.
The chief generals or soldiers and horses of the seven state guards in the Shuo'an area gathered in the audience, but there were no seats in the audience. Around, some of the fierce soldiers of the Zhenwu Army gathered in a circle, fully guarded.
The generals had no choice but to stand quietly and wait.
Dressed in armor, the god Sè also went out of the city solemnly and stood in his own place under the stage.
Several acquaintances greeted him and asked him for some inside information. Fugu Huaien smiled and talked to everyone, but did not touch on the key xìng issue.
Zhang Xuan suddenly arrived, and temporarily summoned the chief guards of various states, no one could guess why he came, and of course everyone was a little suspicious and uneasy.
Zhang Xuan's move was intended to be powerful. Because Li Guangbi had no one in his eyes, it caused a strong backlash from Zhang Xuan.
Fugu Huaien stared at the city gate, silently waiting for Zhang Xuan's appearance.
Fugu Huaien's heart suddenly moved, looked left and right, and did not find Li Guangbi's figure, and couldn't help but be a little surprised: Li Guangbi dared not come? Didn't he know that in this Longshuo Domain, openly disobeying the military orders of the Grand Governor was a dead end?
Fugu Huaien was thinking about it when he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and couldn't help but look back, and saw the smoke and dust rolling behind him, Li Guangbi took the lead and led more than 100 soldiers to gallop in a mighty manner.
Li Guangbi turned over and dismounted, and walked slowly and majestically with Sima Chen Yang on the march.
The generals of the guards bowed down one after another, "The last general has seen the right handsome!" ”
"Right handsome! Greetings from the last general! ”
"Right handsome, please!"
"Yes, hello everyone!" Li Guangbi strode over with a loud smile, and Fu Gu Huaien hesitated a little in his heart but stepped forward and bowed, "The last general will meet Master Li!" ”
Fugu Huaien is different from everyone else, he didn't call Li Guangbi "Right Shuai", which made Li Guangbi frown slightly when he heard it, yīn Shen glanced at Fugu Huaien, snorted coldly, and then looked at the stage again.
Li Guangbi saw that there was only one seat on the stage, and there was no seat under the stage, and his face became extremely heavy.
He has been in control of the military power in Shuofang for many years, and he has always been high-ranking and is one of the most powerful factions.
And Zhang Xuan is certainly the governor of the capital, but he should also have some courtesy, which is Li Guangbi's "true" mentality.
As for the unceremonious "military order" passed on by Zhang Xuan's faction, Li Guangbi didn't take it too seriously. He asked himself that he had not violated military discipline, let alone neglected his duties, but it was just a slight rude to Zhang Xuan, the governor of the capital, which was nothing. Moreover, in his opinion, even though Zhang Xuan is the governor of the capital, he is also the commander of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses reused by the imperial court, and he is not an ordinary general.
Lee Kwang-pil stood alone in embarrassment, and a little anger slowly grew in his heart.
At this moment, knock knock! The dense snare drum beat suddenly sounded like thunder.
Immediately, more than 100 cavalrymen in bright armor galloped out of the city gate, and the first four people carried four Phnom Penh flags fluttering in the wind, which were "Auxiliary Country Loyal and Brave Lingwu County Duke", "Marshal of the World's Soldiers and Horses", "Longshuo Metropolitan Governor", and "Xuanfu Envoy of the Three Towns of Efeng".
More than 100 cavalrymen, under the guidance of the banner soldiers, stood solemnly behind the point general's platform.
After a while, Zhang Xuan stepped out of his horse, dressed in bright silver armor, holding a horsewhip, and his spirit was flying. And to his left and right are Lei Wanchun and Nanwuyun, who are also in armor.
Under the Dianjiang stage, under the attention of the generals' complicated eyes, Zhang Xuan dismounted and went straight to the Dianjiang platform, while Lei Wanchun and Nanwuyun followed, and when Zhang Xuan sat down, he stood behind Zhang Xuan solemnly.
Zhang Xuan looked around at the generals in the audience and was calm, but his eyes were cold.
For a long time, Zhang Xuan waved his hand back.
Nan Wuyun took a step forward, holding the huā roster, and shouted loudly, "The capital governor will order the generals, and the generals will listen to the order!" ”
"The commander of the Zhenwu Army, the general of the right Weiwei Zhonglang Gu Huaien!"
With Nan Wuyun's shout, Fugu Huaien did not hesitate, immediately stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, hugged his fists and said, "The end will be!" ”
As soon as Fugu Huaien took the lead, next, most of the remaining commanders or lieutenant generals of the guards also hesitated for a moment, and also knelt down on one knee. By the time the southern fog cloud point was coming to an end, a large number of people had already fallen to their knees on the field.
Nan Wuyun finally settled down, and said loudly, "Li Guangbi, the commander of Shuofang's soldiers and horses, and the general of the right guard!" ”
The corner of Li Guangbi's mouth twitched slightly, and he stepped forward and hugged his fist, "In!" ”
Zhang Xuan was silent, staring at Li Guangbi for a long time.
He got up slowly, raised his hand and pointed at Li Guangbi, and said indifferently, "This marshal is ordered by the imperial court to proclaim the three towns of Fanyang, Longshuo, and Hexi, control the important military and political affairs of Longshuo, and at the same time control the soldiers and horses of the eight major governors in the world. ”
Zhang Xuan has not said a word since he appeared, and this opening is to ask Li Guangbi "Why don't you kneel". Li Guangbi was naturally ashamed when he heard this, and the generals present were also stunned for a moment, and immediately heard a little different taste.
"Why don't you kneel?!" Zhang Xuan suddenly reprimanded, "Li Guangbi, you are so bold, this handsome man sent you to Shuofang to see you, but you dared not delay!" Ben Shuai promised that the Hui people would not be guilty of the past, and you dared to lead the army to pursue the Hui army horses! What crime should you be guilty of openly disobeying the commander's military orders?! ”
Li Guangbi's face turned red, and he argued loudly, "The governor of the capital, under the canonization of the imperial court, has his duties, and the Hui people raise troops to violate the territory without authorization, can they turn a blind eye to the subordinates?" As for the order of the Metropolitan Governor, he came to Shuofang after receiving it, so there is no delay! ”
, "Li Guangbi m & eacuteng received the emperor's favor, and he should fulfill his duties and be loyal to the imperial court. "Li Guangbi arched his hand in the direction of Chang'an", "The metropolitan governor doesn't want yù to add crimes", there is no excuse! ”
"Yù plus sin?" Zhang Xuan slapped the table suddenly, "What a clever Li Guangbi!" Regardless of the entry of the Hui people, mobilize a large army to cross the border and go straight into the territory of the Hui, I, the governor of Longshuo, are here, how can I have you Li Guangbi in charge? ”
"Saying that he knew that the marshal was stationed in Shuofang City, instead of coming to report it, he transferred troops without authorization, according to the military law of the Tang Dynasty, what is his crime?"
, "This marshal is a feudal general, don't say that you are a small right guard general, even if you are the governor of each town, this marshal also has the right to control the deployment of people, pass on the commander's military orders!" Li Guangbi violated military discipline and marched without authorization, and his crime was not small. Should have been dismissed from his post and exiled for 3,000 miles, Ben Shuai remembered that he had been on the border of the country for many years, and he had made great meritorious deeds, and his merits were offset by the demerits, so he was exempted from the punishment of the cane, and he was removed from the post of commander of Shuofang's soldiers and horses, and the post of general of the right Weiwei, and he was reappointed as the marching Sima of the Longshuo Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. ”
Zhang Xuan smiled coldly and looked at Li Guangbi.
Li Guangbi didn't expect Zhang Xuan to wipe him to the end and remove him from his military position, the shame on his face had exploded to an extreme, and he trembled and said in a trembling voice, "The Governor of the Metropolitan Governor Yù is guilty of not accepting it!" Under the imperial court, the border generals were canonized, and most of the governors had no right to dismiss them! ”
"I don't accept it!" Li Guangbi raised his head and roared angrily.
, "General Sipin, this commander has the right to deploy, and he also has the right to cut first and then play!" Zhang Xuan's voice was fierce, "Li Guangbi, if you dare to disobey the military order of the commander again, the commander will exile you today!" And then report to the imperial court! ”
There was a dead silence on the field, and the generals knelt there on one knee, their faces sè shocked.
Except for Fugu Huaien, "no one thought that Zhang Xuan would take Li Guangbi as soon as the new official arrived."
Li Guangbi has been in power in the Shuofang army for many years and has a very high prestige, so if he moves Li Guangbi like this, isn't he afraid that the army's morale will be unstable? Sima Chen Yang, the marching officer of the Shuofang army, secretly glanced at Zhang Xuan and sighed secretly in his heart.
He actually knew very well in his heart, "Li Guangbi didn't "get off" this time, and he lifted a stone and hit his own foot, so that Zhang Xuan gave him a blow head-on.
, "Li Guangbi, the Metropolitan Governor has an order" You still don't want to retreat?!" Nan Wuyun shouted.
Li Guangbi gritted his teeth, and finally felt that he couldn't eat the loss in front of him, and his face turned pale and brushed his sleeves away.
In the army, the boss has supreme authority, and if he continues to confront him face to face, Zhang Xuan can only take him down completely in order to maintain his authority.
"Generals, please get up." Zhang Xuan looked at Li Guangbi's back and left angrily, a faint smile slowly rose on the corner of his mouth, he waved his hand, and sat down again" "This marshal will be a general today, as soon as he comes, he will meet with you publicly, from today onwards, Ben Shuai will officially take charge of Longshuo: Second, to emphasize one point: military orders are like mountains, and this marshal governs the army strictly, if anyone dares to violate military orders and military discipline, Ben Shuai will severely punish and will not tolerate it!" ”
"After you return to the army, fulfill your duties and appease the military and civilians." If there is a cup of huò military heart, causing the military spirit to fluctuate, disturbing the local security, there is no forgiveness! ”
Zhang Xuan's voice intensified.
All the generals hurriedly bowed down and shouted, "The last general and others must obey the orders of the Metropolitan Overseer!" ”
Zhang Xuan paused, looked at Fugu Huaien under the stage, and said indifferently, "General Fugu, you have been in the Shuofang Army for many years, guarding the border, and you have made great meritorious contributions. Ben Shuai ordered you to temporarily take charge of the Shuo Fang Commander of the soldiers and horses and the right Weiwei general, and then write to the court after Ben Shuai arrived in Lingzhou. ”
Fugu Huai'en was ecstatic in his heart, and he stepped forward and said angrily, "The last general will obey the order, and the last general will thank the governor for trust!" ”
, "Shuo Fang marches Sima Chen Yang! ”
Chen Yang was thinking about lightning in his heart, combing his messy mind, and suddenly heard Zhang Xuan call his name, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately stepped forward and bowed down and said, "Dadu Governor, the end will be!" ”
"Ben Shuai is serving as the commander of Shuofang's soldiers and horses, the commander of the right Weiwei Zhonglang, and assisting the servant Gu Huaien to act in charge of Shuofang's military affairs, you are willing to collect"
Chen Yang was stunned and immediately rejoiced, he didn't expect Zhang Xuan to know his existence, nor did he expect that Li Guangbi ate Zhang Xuan's "noodles" this time, and as Li Guangbi's subordinate, he was promoted.
Chen Yang is also a calm and thoughtful person, and he immediately realized that Zhang Xuan's servant Gu Huaien alone could not control the situation, so he recommended him to serve as a faint post to assist Fugu Huaien in controlling the situation.
Chen Yang bowed down again and said loudly, "The last general will obey the order!" ”
, "Fugu Huai'en, Chen Yang, this marshal will hand over the military affairs of Shuofang to you and others, and you will not live up to the expectations of this marshal." Zhang Xuan smiled, got up and said loudly, "Ben Shuai meets with the generals today, and a banquet should be held to celebrate!" Today, "Ben Shuai should be drunk with all of you, and we will be happy and disperse!" ”
Li Guangbi was about to leave Shuofang City in anger and return to Xiazhou with his guards, but was told by his soldiers that Governor Zhang had appointed Fugu Huaien to replace him, and Chen Yang as his deputy envoy.
This means that Li Guangbi has lost the command of Shuofang's soldiers and horses, including the more than 100 guards, and can no longer accept his orders from now on.
Li Guangbi was desperate and angry, and was about to gallop back to Xiazhou alone, but was stopped by Nanwuyun and his soldiers.
Li Guangbi forcibly suppressed his anger and said in a low voice, "General Nan, why are you blocking you when you return to Xiazhou next time?" ”
"The Metropolitan Governor has an order, Li Si* does not have to return to Xiazhou, he can go to Lingzhou immediately to take up his post, or he can go to the city to have a banquet with the generals.
Tomorrow I will rush to Lingzhou with the Metropolitan Governor! As for Li Sima's family, General Fugu will naturally send someone to Lingzhou! Nan Wuyun arched his hand on his horse.
Li Guangbi was so angry that his mouth trembled, "If it weren't for the fact that he had been in charge of the army for many years, he knew that the military discipline in the army was strict, and he would definitely roar desperately this time."
After all, Li Guangbi is a reasonable person and the city is deep. He understood that since he had fallen into Zhang Xuan's hands, if he screwed Zhang Xuan again, the end would definitely be miserable.
He could already see that this young Metropolitan Governor was ruthless and "would never be merciful."
Li Guangbi's face flickered for a long time, but he still slowly suppressed his anger, arched his hand to the south of the fog, turned his horse's head and entered Shuofang City.
Nan Wuyun looked at the back of Li Guangbi galloping away on the horse, and shook his head secretly.
He followed Zhang Xuan for a long time, and gradually gained some understanding of Zhang Xuan's xìng love. He knew that Zhang Xuan's purpose in suppressing Li Guangbi this time was to establish his authority through this thunderous means and deter the unruly Shuofang generals.
He deposed Li Guangbi, but appointed Fugu Huai'en and Chen Yang, which would avoid the uneasiness of the transfer of military power to the greatest extent. You must know that "Fugu Huaien and Chen Yang have been in charge of Shuofang for a long time, they are familiar with the situation in Shuofang, and they also have connections in the army, and cultivating these two people is conducive to Zhang Xuan's control of the situation in Shuofang."
In this case, Zhang Xuan categorically would not go back to Xiazhou to Li Guangbi. If Li Guangbi is allowed to return to Shuofang's army, "Although Li Guangbi may not dare to do anything, after all, there are hidden dangers, and Zhang Xuan will not take such a risk."
Zhang Xuan is a seemingly strong and domineering person, but in fact he is an extremely cautious person.
The reason why he decisively attacked Li Guangbi was that no one in Li Guangbi's eyes despised the existence of him as a major governor, but the deeper reason was that Li Guangbi and these people had been entrenched in the Shuofang army for many years, and the relationship was intertwined, and a situation of secession had been formed.
Taking down Li Guangbi deviated somewhat from Zhang Xuan's initial plan 1, which was also adjusted according to the actual situation.
Zhang Xuan stayed in Shuofang City for less than ten days.
But in these ten days, a lot of big things have happened. And for Shuo Fangjun, this is almost a big earthquake.
Li Guangbi, who was known as the king of Shuofang among the people, was taken down by Zhang Xuan, and used his servants Gu Huaien and Chen Yang, and at the same time killed chickens and monkeys, which formed an effective deterrent to all Shuofang generals, and adopted an almost simple and crude method to seize Shuofang's military power from the hands of the "head snake" headed by Li Guangbi.
As for the fluctuation of military morale caused by this, Zhang Xuan is not very good. He believed that Fugu Huai'en and Chen Yang would do everything in their power to appease the army in order to consolidate their position of power.
In fact, what is really needed are those middle- and upper-level generals cultivated by Li Guangbi, and ordinary soldiers will not make any moves. As long as the two of them can catch and stabilize this part of the generals, they can say anything. And if these people are stupid and stupid, Zhang Xuan will naturally not be merciful.
There is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger in this army, and the most important thing is the middle and lower backbone who can lead the troops. A group of posts and even a group of killings, and then another promotion.
Zhang Xuan will never allow his subordinates to fail in control, if so, even if it is a big change, he will not hesitate to do it.
Zhang Xuan actually had a far-reaching plan in his heart, he was going to wait for Feng Chong and Zhou Xuchu to lead the 12,000 Lin Wei to Lingzhou, and then he would transfer a part of the middle and lower-level generals and leaders to disperse and enrich the various armies in Longshuo.
………………………………,
Early in the morning, the red sun is rising.
Zhang Xuan set off for Lingzhou.
On this trip, in addition to the 500 cavalry he brought, Fugu Huaien and Chen Yang also sent an additional 1,000 Shuofang cavalry to serve as Zhang Xuan's metropolitan governor's escort.
The army of 1,500 people was launched, and this time, Zhang Xuan did not hide his whereabouts anymore, but openly waved the honor guard banner of the Grand Governor, and marched to Lingzhou from the official road.
Fugu Huaien and Chen Yang sent out fifty miles all the way before they repeatedly said goodbye.
Those who followed Zhang Xuan to Lingzhou were in addition to Xiao Shisanlang, Lei Wanchun and Nanwuyun, as well as Li Guangbi. Li Guangbi took off his general's armor and changed into a green shirt, and Shen Sè indifferently rode on his horse, following the end of the entire team.
For Li Guangbi, Zhang Xuan has other plans, so he has always turned a blind eye to his existence.
From Shuofang to Lingzhou, it is less than 500 miles. If you want to march quickly, you can reach it in a few days. However, Zhang Xuan ordered the whole army to march slowly, less than 100 miles a day.
Along the way, local officials came out one after another to welcome them, and some of them had to give banquets, but Zhang Xuan almost did not refuse to come, which was unusual.
And the closer to Lingzhou, the more ugly Zhang Xuan's face sè becomes.
In the whole army, probably only Huā Nuer faintly guessed Zhang Xuan's thoughts: he was waiting intentionally, waiting for Guo Ziyi in Lingzhou to make a move.
In Zhang Xuan's opinion, whether it is for his son Guo Yang or for Zhang Xuan, the upcoming governor, Guo Ziyi cannot continue to stay in Lingzhou for a long time.
Could it be that this Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi are all the way to Sè? Do you have to "knock knock" to use it?
