Volume 2 Sui Yang's Ascension to the Throne Chapter 136 The Change of Jiangdu (2)
Yu Shinan's analysis is good, because Yang Guang has always refused to leave Jiangdu, day and night with the beauties selected by Jiangnan, and many times to change the orders of the accompanying escort soldiers, the military spirit has already begun to fluctuate, in order to prevent chaos, Niu Hongzhuguo despite his old age and decrepitude, and because of his long-term residence in Jiangnan, water and soil adaptation, etc., he has been sick for a long time, or asked Yang Guang to go to the military camp to inspect.
"Ahh It's the old pillar country! The end will see the old pillar country! ”
"Oh! It's Xie Wulang! Is it your duty today? ”
"Yes! Old Pillar Country! Your body。。。。。。 ”
"My body is very tough, how is the recent military situation, and also, immediately send the order down, this pillar country is ordered by the saint to come to inspect the labor army, you quickly beat the drum and gather the generals."
"Yes!" With the sound of drums, Laihu'er, Yu Wenhua, Sima Dejiao, Pei Qiantong, Dugusheng and other generals and soldiers in the army all came to the tent together.
"See Niu Laozhu Kingdom!" Niu Hong nodded and greeted them.
"Everyone, the holy dragon body is a little sick, listen to the imperial doctor, the climate in Danyang is mild, suitable for recuperation, the saint has issued an order, ordered to build a palace in Danyang, and ordered to protect the general as the Danyang palace supervisor, responsible for engineering and defense, the pillar country was ordered to take over the military power, you should have a good bullet pressure to appease the subordinate sergeants, extraordinary times, not allowed to make trouble!"
"Yes! The Last General's Decree! Niu Hong saw that everyone bowed down and listened to the order, and walked out of the big tent with satisfaction. Everyone gathered around Laihu'er and discussed:
"The emperor said that he was unwell before, and now he is going to build a palace in Danyang, and it seems that returning to Luoyang and Chang'an is far away."
"Hey! The most important thing is that you come to the general, and now invite to build what Danyang Palace, this is the work of the craftsman's order, but now I want you to do it! ”
"Shut up, the will of the Holy One cannot be changed, as long as I am a courtier, I just need to obey the order!" After listening to Laihu'er's words, the generals present had no choice but to sigh and disperse when they heard it. After Niu Hong took over the handsome seal, he went out to exercise by name every day, and if he hesitated, he would be engaged in military law, and he would exercise every day, which made the soldiers miserable. On this day, Niu Hong was recruited by Yang Guang into the palace to discuss matters, not in the army, and the officers and soldiers in the army were rarely free to get together to gamble money.
"Come and buy it! Come buy it! Bet more, win more! "Because in the past, the accompanying soldiers were homesick, and in order to alleviate everyone's depressed mood, Laihu'er and others also turned a blind eye to gambling and prostitution in the army. Therefore, gambling in the army happens from time to time. When everyone is happy to play.
"I don't know if I'm going to make a move!"
"Good! You...... When the sergeant who bet on the treasure saw the arrival, he was speechless! On the school field of the big camp, dozens of sergeants were tied with their hands tied and knelt in the center, and more than a dozen knife and axe hands stood behind with ghost-headed broadswords.
"Do you know what the crime of gambling in the army is!?" In Niu Hong's questioning, everyone felt bad.
"Don't say yes! Don't say it, I'll say it for you! Gambling in the army, those who participate in gambling are all fifty rods, the camp is displayed for three days, and those who gamble are all beheaded, I am right! The sergeants bowed their heads and remained silent.
"Since what I said is right, let's do it according to military discipline! Someone came, and beheaded the gambling crowd for public display. The others were fifty rods, and camped for three days. Then came the men of the axes, and the soldiers, who were to be beheaded and beaten, shouted:
"Spare your life! Spare your life! Yu Wenhua and knelt down first.
"Marshal, these people are all people who have made great achievements in the army for many years, they are far away from home, follow the emperor to come here, homesick, gambling and happy, and ask for the grace of the old pillar country!" Sima Dekan also knelt down.
"Ask Lao Zhu Guo to be gracious! They are all sergeants in my Xiaoguo camp, and now that they are committing crimes, I, as a commander, are also suspected of miscontrol. The last general is willing to replace it with a top head, and ask for the grace of the old pillar country! Pei Qiantong and the other generals also knelt down and pleaded for mercy.
"Since the generals intercede, the commander will open the net, and you can avoid the death penalty, but the living crime cannot be escaped. All the rods were punished with a hundred, and the camp was five days. ”
"Xie Dashuai!"
"Gnaw nibble!"
"Your body!?" Niu Hong blocked his words.
"My body is fine! You don't want to hurry up yet. With the screams of the tortured sergeant, after the execution, Niu Hong returned to his tent with the support of his two sons, Niu Fangyu and Niu Fangzhi. In the evening, Yu Wenhua and his third brother Yu Wenzhi discussed together:
"Big brother! Good calculation! Today you interceded for those military, and now they worship you like a bodhisattva one by one! ”
"Hey, hey, hey! Zhiji, you are the most popular among our three brothers, and now you are walking around and probing for news! ”
"Yes! Little brother understands! At the station of the Xiaoguo Army, the soldiers were secretly talking.
"Hey! Those brothers are also wronged today, gambling a few dollars! It was beaten like that! Now that Guanzhong has fallen, our relatives don't know what happened! Now you can't even gamble money, and women can't prostitute. Let's mutiny! This Jiangnan flashy, it is better for us to simply rob the market and rob some money to make a pestering of the township. ”
"Yes! The situation in the imperial court is like this! It's time for us to retreat. The sergeants' comments did not hide from the generals in command. Sima Dekan returned to his military tent after inspecting the barracks, and the Hu Benlang generals Yuanli, Pei Qiantong and others, who had been friends with him, also came.
"Brother Sima! Now that the situation in the army is very serious, I am afraid that the mutiny is already unstoppable, what should we do? ”
"I know it too! What are you going to do? ”
"In my opinion! It's better to push the boat with the current! Conform to the will of the army, grab some military property, women and horses, and fight all the way back to Guanzhong. If the emperor is told to forcibly suppress it, no matter what the result is, the responsibility will not be light, and I am afraid that our lives will not be guaranteed! "Yuan Li proposed:
"I'm for it!" Sima Dekan pondered for a moment and said:
"I think we have to find a few more people to discuss this matter, and Niu Hong has a very high prestige, if he doesn't die, we don't want to make it!" Everyone present nodded after hearing this. So they contacted each other, and Yuan Min, the general of Huyalang, Zhao Xingshu, the general of Yingyanglang, Meng Bing, the chief Xu Hongren, Xue Shiliang, Tang Fengyi, the Chengmen Lang, Zhang Kai, and Yang Shilan, the servant, all participated in the conspiracy, contacted day and night, and openly discussed the escape in front of the public, without any scruples. Yang Shilan is Yuwen Zhihe's nephew, Zhao Xingshu and Yuwen Zhihe have always been very good, and they told Yuwen Zhiji all about the plans of Sima Dekan and others.
"What? You said that Sima Dekan wanted to mutiny. ”
"Yes! And they openly consulted in the court about the escape, without any scruples. I heard from the inside of the palace that a palace maid had already told the emperor and the queen about the matter, but fortunately, the emperor was not suspicious, and killed the palace maid in the name of arguing about the government, but we must be more careful in the future. ”
"Hmmm! Shilan, you're right. In addition, you two should contact these people more and draw their attention to your uncle. When Yang Shilan and Zhao Xingshu heard this, they understood what was going on, and both of them nodded yes. After the two of them left, Yuwen Zhiji's heart swelled with excitement.
'Now I just use the hands of these accompanying soldiers to kill Yang Guang, and then help my eldest brother onto the dragon chair, and I will not be able to enjoy the glory and wealth in the future. Maybe when the dynasty is secured, I can also go to that dragon chair and sit down. Thinking of this, a strange smile appeared on Yuwen Zhiji's face.
