Chapter 450: Life and Death Together, Advance and Retreat Together

On the school field of Qianqi, there was finally a scene of long-lost collective drills. Xue Chuyu, as the deputy general of the thousand cavalry, is responsible for daily drills. At this moment, the smoke and dust on the colonel's field were shouting and neighing, although it was not worthy of the reputation of "the division of tigers and wolves", but at least it had some of the majesty that the army should have.

Xue Shao watched on the school field for a while, and had a general understanding of the characteristics and quality of this group of soldiers. To put it simply, the foundation and foundation of this group of people are not comparable to the recruits of the Three Swords Brigade, after all, most of them were elite people before. If you practice it well, the combat effectiveness of the thousand horses is absolutely superb.

But the problem is that it is far more difficult to train them well than to train new recruits. Because they are all accustomed to the existing rhythm of life, everyone's minds and paths are relatively complex, not as simple as recruits.

Therefore, Xue Shao believes that the ability of Qianqi is definitely not a problem, the key lies in attitude. To train a thousand horses well, the first thing is to "attack the heart". As long as you take the hearts of this group of people, the rest will be easy to handle.

"General, I still think it's not too cost-effective for you to cut off Cui Heming's head in public today." Guo Yuanzhen seemed to have been thinking for a long time, and said seriously, "It's true that he is a damn scum, but you can hand him over to Youji and kill people with a knife." Why do you have to do it yourself, is it just for Liwei? ”

"Liwei is just one of them. I also thought twice before I decided that I had to do it myself. Xue Shao said, "As you can see, the eight hundred soldiers in front of you are like a flock of sheep, and they already have a leader within themselves. We, the first-time generals, seemed to them outsiders, even enemies. Cui Heming and others are the leaders of the flock, and the thousands of riders are firmly hugged together as the core, like an iron plate that cannot be spilled into the water without a needle. The strong have always been respected in the army, and if I want to be their leader, I must crush and dismantle their old group. The quickest and most effective way to do this is for me to take out their leader and replace it! ”

"But you lost the support of the people's hearts first!" Guo Yuanzhen said.

Xue Shao shook his head and smiled: "They didn't support me in the first place, what else can I lose?" ”

"......" Guo Yuanzhen was stunned for a moment and nodded, "This is a big truth." ”

"I'm the first to be powerful and then to be encouraged, and then to stand up." Xue Shao said, "Since they don't like me from the bottom of their hearts and don't support me, I don't have to care if they have any other opinions about me." In such a situation, it is the quickest and most effective way to do it. As for the support of the people and the relationship between the robe and the robe, it can naturally be established over time, and I still have this confidence. ”

"It turns out that you are sober-minded and plan and then act, it seems that I am overthinking." Guo Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, his mood became relaxed and he said with a smile: "What are you going to do with the other two half-dead things in prison?" Do you still want to cut it off? ”

"It doesn't matter if you cut it or not." Xue Shao said lightly, "The important thing is that there is another kind of contest next!" ”

"You mean, the battle with the forces behind them?" Guo Yuanzhen asked.

"That's right." Xue Shao said, "Cui Heming has done many evils and is heinous, even Cui Zhiwen and Cui Hejian, two relatives of the same clan, respect him. I had already communicated with Cui Hejian before I started, and I knew the bottom of my heart, so I decisively cleaned up the portal by myself. The situation of the other two people is not the same as Cui Heming, the things they committed are not so strict, and one is a person from His Majesty and the other is a person from the Queen of Heaven. So, I'm waiting for a direct battle with the two saints! ”

"Sizzle......" Guo Yuanzhen took a breath of cool air, "Are you crazy?" ”

"Not crazy at all." Xue Shao smiled confidently and said, "The reason why I dare to confront the two saints in this matter is because I represent justice and law. If the two saints really come forward to intercede with these two people, I will insist on my opinion. Because in the military, the rule of man is absolutely not superior to the rule of law. Otherwise, the general will be desecrated, the military order will be in vain, and the army will not be an army. ”

"Childe, don't forget that the Second Sage has supreme power higher than the first qiē!" Guo Yuanzhen was surprised, "If the Second Sage forcibly gives an order, what will happen to you?" ”

"No compromise." Xue Shao said lightly, "If I am even restrained and interfered with in the power of 'enforcing military law' among the thousands of horsemen, then I would rather not do it!" ”

"Uh......" Guo Yuanzhen was a little frightened at this time, and said cautiously, "Then what is your opinion on how to deal with those two people?" ”

"The prisoner will be handed over to Dali Temple, and the public trial will give an explanation to the military regulations and the law!" Xue Shao said.

"Isn't that the ugliness of the family publicized, so that the second saint is also disgraced?" Guo Yuanzhen shook his head nervously, "Childe, I advise you to think twice." After all, you've only been in office for a short time, so you might as well take your time. ”

"Some things can be done slowly, but military law is like a mountain, and I am absolutely unambiguous on this point!" Xue Shao said, "It's not because I'm stubborn or hypocritical, for a general, there is nothing more important than the military law in his hands!" ”

"Understood." Guo Yuanzhen nodded, frowned and said worriedly, "In this way, this matter has just begun!" In the future, I'm afraid there will be a fierce confrontation! ”

"I've been preparing for this for a long time." Xue Shao smiled slightly, "Since the Second Sage has asked me to lead and rectify the Thousand Horses, he must give me enough trust and autonomy. Otherwise, I'd rather they take this official position back! ”

As he was talking, a pawn came to report that Li Jinxing, the general of Yulinwei, and Cheng Wuting were visiting together.

"Invite them into the camp and serve tea to my official office." Xue Shao said and smiled at Guo Yuanzhen, "The first wave of competition has begun!" “

"Them?" Guo Yuanzhen was surprised, "No! ”

"Have you forgotten that Qianqi is nominally a Yifu subordinate to the Yulin Army." Xue Shao smiled, "I cut people here, why do they have to ask!" ”

"That's right!"

Later, the two of them arrived at Xue Shao's official office, Li Jinxing and Cheng Wuting had already arrived first, and each only brought a few relatives, so it seemed that at least it would not be Xingshi's questioning.

Soldiers don't like to go around the corner, Li Jinxing saw Xue Shao's first sentence and said: "General Xue, your first fire in office, but it burns strong enough!" ”

Xue Shao clenched his fists and smiled, "I'm sorry, old general, General Cheng." I didn't even tell you beforehand. ”

"The Thousand Horses are nominally under our control, but in fact they are only under the orders of His Majesty. So Childe doesn't have to be polite to us. Li Jinxing waved his hand and said, "The problem is that you have cut people and arrested people here, and we can't be indifferent!" ”

"Oh, what does that mean?" Xue Shao asked curiously.

Cheng Wuting smiled bitterly, "General Xue has not forgotten, how did those three bastards enter the palace in the middle of the night?" ”

"By the way, Xuanwu Gate is a city gate guarded by the Yulin Army!" Xue Shao slapped his head, "Could it be that the two generals also want to start rectifying the Yulin Army?" ”

"Don't hide it from General Xue, the two of us have already had this intention." Li Jinxing said, "But our two old things don't have the courage of General Xue!" ”

Cheng Wuting also said: "Both of us were border commanders who served in the bitter cold of the border pass, and we had no foundation in the DPRK, and we didn't know much about the situation of the same unit of the Imperial Forest Army. Although we have been a great general for a while, it feels like we have been completely overlooked, and our generals and sergeants have disobeyed us and have not really taken us seriously. Those who really have prestige and real power are still some of the original generals. The two of us are constrained everywhere and form decorations! ”

Xue Shao nodded suddenly in realization, this should have been thought of a long time ago, wasn't it? Even a relative of the emperor with a high background like me who led troops in Beiya, was a little looked down upon by the old soldiers under him. Cheng Wuting Xing's family background is not high, Li Jinxing is even more obedient to the chieftain of the Yan Dynasty, plus these two generals are "outsiders" who were parachuted from the field army, how can the children of those families in the Yulin Army and the second generation of officials and generals really take them seriously? …… Not to mention the two of them, I remember that when Li Shangdan faced a world-famous handsome like Pei Xingjian, he was full of disdain and didn't take him seriously at all.

"We're in such a dilemma!" Li Jinxing clapped his hands, and said with annoyance and helplessness, "When officialdom meets each other, you can be hypocritical and polite, and most of your behavior is flexible and tactful; But what the army pays attention to is an order and prohibition, and these cannot be tolerated. Therefore, it is often said that Beijing officials are difficult to do, and there are princes and nobles everywhere, and they can't afford to provoke them; In fact, the general of the Royal Forest Army is the most difficult to do! ”

"Listening to the meaning of the two of you, do you want to take advantage of the opportunity of my hands to work together to rectify your subordinates and establish authority?" Xue Shao said with a smile, "You said earlier, how can I be ahead of the two seniors?" ”

"General Xue, don't make fun of us!" Cheng Wuting smiled bitterly, "I can't hide it, according to my temperament, I have long wanted to cut off a few of his mother's heads!" But I've always been dissuaded left and right, and I've always held back and endured! - I have been bringing soldiers for decades, when did such a nest hesitate? What a fucking obscurity! ”

"General Xue, we don't have such a strong foundation as you! When we first come to the court, we dare not stand on our own. Li Jinxing said, "Now that you have taken the lead, we can't do it if we don't want to." Cui Heming, I know, I really should be killed, Xue Gongzi's knife today can be described as very happy! - Then the bastards who defended the city under our command were equally damned! In the past, we all endured it, but now that the matter has been made public, if we don't cut them again, His Majesty the Emperor will cut us down! ”

"That's right!" Cheng Wuting punched vigorously, "The two of us just came to inform you on purpose, and now the left and right Yu Linwei are going to be consistent with Qianqi and carry out vigorous rectification together." When the pressure comes, we stand up to it together! If something happens, we'll take it together! - All in all, the two of us are willing to live and die with General Xue, advance and retreat together! ”

"Good!" Xue Shao was overjoyed and praised it, "With two generals to help, I have more confidence!" ”

"Then it's decided!" Li Jinxing was an impatient, and immediately said, "Without further ado, General Xue might as well immediately interrogate those two guys who have been imprisoned." The old man and the evil man want to listen to them face to face, which Yulin army opened the city gate for them in the middle of the night! ”

"Good! - Two generals, please! ”.
