Chapter 174:-for-tat

Syllable!

Zhang Xun suddenly slapped the shocked wood, and the sound of the case shook the whole hall, and also shook all the Suiyang civil and military subordinates.

Of course, there are only two or three civil officials who really have the imperial court's orders, and they are all subordinate officials of Suiyang Taishou Yamen under Xu Yuan, but now Suiyang Zhang Xun is in charge, and the military generals are in power, and these "old Suiyang civil officials" have long since withdrawn from the stage of history, and most of them are low-key and do things in a low-key manner, never expressing their personal opinions, especially on this occasion.

Zhang Kui, these rough and fierce generals, looked at Zhang Xun excitedly and expectantly, and glanced at Kong Sheng with schadenfreude and contempt, they thought that Kong Sheng had aroused Zhang Xun's anger, and with Zhang Xun's methods and style, this time he would definitely take Kong Sheng.

Only Lei Wanchun and Nan Jiyun knew that it was not so simple.

Don't say that Kong Sheng is suspected of having a good background, followed by the palace guards appointed by the Qin Mission, as well as more than 100 pro-army guards of King Yu, and it is said that he is also related to Yang Qi, the emperor of the south of the Yangtze River.

Even if Kong Sheng has no background and is also an official of the imperial court, Zhang Xun's current rank is not very high, he is barely Kong Sheng's superior, and without a very strong excuse, he can't move Kong Sheng at all. This is the rule of the court etiquette system and the rule of officials. Zhang Xun was not a low-level officer, how could he not understand this.

This shows that Zhang Kui and Li Ding, these generals, actually don't understand Zhang Xun at all, and they can't understand Zhang Xun.

Therefore, although Zhang Xun was furious, he still did not say too much: "Kong Sheng, what court regulations do you want to mention to this official!" At present, the great enemy is urgent, and the military situation is urgent. All rights change. Since this official ordered Suiyang. Then you have full authority to dispatch! This officer will ask you again, are you willing to include the cavalry under your command into the cavalry battalion as a whole? ”

Zhang Xun's voice is fierce and his form is terrifying.

Kong Sheng's face was indifferent, and he bowed his hand again, neither humble nor arrogant, not hurried and said: "Zhang Zhongcheng, the lower officials also reiterate again, these people are not Kong Sheng's dispatch, if Zhongcheng wants to command as one." Please also go to Pengcheng to report to His Royal Highness King Yu, Kong Sheng can't be the master, and he definitely doesn't dare to make his own decisions! ”

Zhang Xun was so angry that Kong Sheng refused to give in, which made Lei Wanchun and Nan Jiyun secretly surprised.

There is a relationship between the three sons Lei Ting, Lei Wanchun couldn't help but glance at Kong Sheng worriedly, and said in his heart, you are really arrogant, what an authoritarian person Zhang Zhongcheng is, you screw him up like this, which angered him. I am afraid there will be no good fruit to eat.

Nan Jiyun felt that Kong Sheng did not understand current affairs and did not care about the overall situation. It is included in the integrated command of the cavalry battalion to which Suiyang belongs. What's so bad? It is conducive to the integration of Suiyang's combat forces, giving full play to the maximum role, and ignoring the overall situation for personal interests, which makes Nan Jiyun's impression of Kong Sheng a little worse.

Zhang Xun was furious, glared at Kong Sheng, and shouted: "Kong Sheng, you are so presumptuous!" If you dare to disobey your officer's military order in public, do you know that before the battle and in the barracks, your officer, as the commander-in-chief, has the right to engage in military law! ”

Kong Sheng chuckled: "Please calm your anger!" The lower officials asked themselves, there is no transgression of etiquette, how can you talk about presumptuousness? Xiaguan is sincere in every word, in line with the principle of seeking truth from facts, as a subordinate official of Suiyang, the subordinate official obeys all the orders of the Zhongcheng army, but the subordinate can only manage himself, but how to restrain the king of Yu? If Zhongcheng doesn't believe it, you can try it, then the two captains and the more than 100 Mo sword cavalry belonging to King Yu are willing to obey the order of the whole number? ! Of course, whether they follow or not, it has nothing to do with the lower officials! ”

"The lower officials were called to Suiyang, knowing that Suiyang was a dangerous place, but they were still willing to go to the post, and they had long put life and death aside. But for any sin that is desired, the subordinate officials cannot succumb! If Zhongcheng insisted on charging Kong Sheng with disobeying military orders, Kong Sheng could only report to the court to prove his innocence! ”

Kong Sheng smiled coldly and straightened his back.

As soon as his righteous-for-tat words came out, not to mention that Zhang Xun was trembling with anger, even the group of generals under Zhang Xun were filled with righteous indignation, and they couldn't wait to come forward and stab Kong Sheng to vent their anger.

Zhang Kui stepped out, raised his hand and pointed at Kong Sheng and scolded angrily: "Bold! Dare to be rude to Zhongcheng! Come on, take him down to Lao Tzu! ”

Zhang Xun's prestige in Suiyang was very high, especially in the army.

Seeing that the god-like leader in their minds was repeatedly "humiliated" by Kong Sheng, several sergeants in the hall couldn't hold it back for a long time, and immediately rushed to the hall when they heard the words, and they were about to be rude to Kong Sheng.

The situation is tense and on the verge of eruption.

Xu Yuan frowned secretly, sat on the stage, and clenched his fists.

Kong Sheng unhurriedly turned his head to look at the fierce-looking Zhang Kui, and said lightly: "Who are you?" Dare to speak vulgar and wild words above the lobby? ”

Zhang Kui snorted: "This general is Zhang Kui, the general under Zhongcheng, and the deputy commander of the infantry battalion is also!" ”

Kong Sheng laughed, suddenly his voice was cold, he raised his hand and pointed at Zhang Kui, and then swept the several sergeants who gathered around, and said word by word: "A small lieutenant of the accompaniment, an unpopular military attachΓ©, dares to commit a crime, and make a lot of nonsense in front of this official, what crime should he be guilty of!" Also, you have to think clearly, this official is a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven, and the imperial court ordered Songcheng County, if you dare to move a finger of this official, it is a great crime to rebel and harm the nine clans! ”

Several sergeants who had not looked good were suppressed by Kong Sheng's majestic momentum, and they didn't dare to step forward for a while. And Zhang Kui became furious, took two steps forward, and actually wanted to tear Kong Sheng.

Kong Sheng's expression was cold, and his eyes were like knives.

He stood tall and stood there, indifferent. If this Zhang Kui dares to take the initiative to be rude, he will not be merciful. If you want to fight, who can be the opponent of Kong Sheng, the little overlord who is not afraid of death in Jiangning City?

Seeing that the situation was uncontrollable, Nan Jiyun hurriedly stepped forward and whispered a few words in Zhang Xun's ear. Inspector Zhang let out a sigh, looked gloomy and slowly sat back again, and suddenly slapped the table and shouted: "Zhang Kui, don't be rude, retreat!" ”

Nan Jiyun's words are actually not said, and Zhang Xun also knows it.

Outside the city, there are still many people from Kong Sheng, these people are people from King Yu's side, as long as one escapes, Zhang Xun will be convicted of disposing of court officials and even more unbearable crimes, once he angers the court, his position will not be saved.

Moreover, the Battle of Suiyang is approaching, and Zhang Xun still hopes that King Yu on Pengcheng's side can send troops to reinforce him, how can he blatantly offend King Yu?

Zhang Xun tried his best to suppress the burning anger in his heart, and reluctantly said calmly: "Kong County Order, this official is dedicated to the public and has no selfish thoughts, you should understand." The battle of Suiyang is imminent, you and I should work together to fight against the traitors, I hope you follow the overall situation, and don't ignore the ardent expectations of the court to recommend you as an official! ”

Zhang Xun used a bitter tone, but in fact, he had already begun to give in. But Kong Sheng did not change his original intention because of this. This military force of more than 100 people is the "first pot of gold" of his starting team and career hard work, how could he easily give it away?

Kong Sheng hugged his fists: "Zhang Zhongcheng, since the lower officials risked their lives to come to Suiyang to take office, they don't have any selfish thoughts!" Otherwise, I will stay in the prosperous and comfortable Jiangnan every day, where is it not as strong as this war-torn Henan? Please also rest assured that the lower officials should do their best for the great cause of Suiyang's anti-thief efforts! ”

Seeing that Kong Sheng's words were beautiful, he just refused to make substantive concessions. The anger in Zhang Xun's heart swelled little by little, and he was about to get out of control.

The corner of Kong Sheng's eyes swept over Xu Yuan's complicated face little by little, and his heart was at this time, you, Suiyang Taishou, didn't even stand up and say a word, it seems that ...... It seems that Xu Yuan is even weaker than recorded in the history books.

There is no doubt that Xu Yuan is a loyal minister, but his ability is weak and his character is even weaker, otherwise, how could all the military and political power in Suiyang fall into the hands of Zhang Xun as a "subordinate official"?

Lei Wanchun became anxious, he had the heart to persuade Kong Sheng to understand the current situation and take care of the overall situation, but he was afraid of arousing the suspicion of his colleagues, and he was worried that it would make Zhang Xun feel guilty, so he hesitated.

At this time, the current No. 3 person in Suiyang City, who had been silent, spoke up: "Zhang Zhongcheng, Xu Taishou, in my opinion, the cavalry of more than 100 people is the personal guard of King Yu, and sooner or later they will return to Pengcheng to return to King Yu, but it is not impossible to stay in Suiyang for the time being to help in the war, but in this way, it is more appropriate to be led by the commander of Kong County." ”

Yao Xun is one of the core figures who followed Zhang Xun to fight against thieves, but now Suiyang is Zhang Xun's world, and he is the original "old man" who gradually retreats into the background, although Zhang Xun still values him a little, but the generals under Zhang Xun's command have never put him in their eyes, Yao is a person who knows the times, so he naturally began to keep a low profile.

Yao's opening made Xu Yuan secretly relieved. In Xu Yuan's opinion, anyway, they are all military forces to defend Suiyang, and they are all under the unified command of Zhang Xun as a whole anyway, and it doesn't matter whether this cavalry team is in the hands of Kong Sheng or Nan Jiyun, so why do you have to tear your face with Kong Sheng, and sooner or later you will have to make trouble with the imperial court?

Zhang Xun glanced at Yao and said coldly: "This is inappropriate. Kong County was born as a scholar, and his ability to dance and write ink must be passable, but how can a scholar lead the army to fight? At the moment of the great enemy, the defenders of Suiyang are already overstretched and insufficient, if the troops are wasted again, how will we face the huge siege of the rebels? ”

Yao Zhi saw that Zhang Xun refused to listen to his advice, so he lowered his head with a wry smile, and said in his heart that he was really talkative, why should he meddle in this kind of dispute over military power?

Kong Sheng looked at Yao deeply, and then cast a deep gaze on Zhang Xun's face who was still angry, and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Zhongcheng, although Xia Guan is a scholar, but he is a little skilled in martial arts and cavalry archery, and he may not be able to command the army, but he can still be handy with a hundred-person cavalry team. ”

"Kong Xian Ling is really young and vigorous! Do you think that this leader fighting a war is as simple as a scholar chanting poetry and prostitutes? Zhang Xun sneered, and the generals under his command laughed even more contemptuously and cheered.

Zhang Kui even directly accused Kong Sheng of being ignorant and rebellious.

Nan Jiyun, who had been silent and suppressed his anger, suddenly raised his head and glared at Kong Sheng, and shouted: "Kong County Order, since you keep saying that you know martial arts and riding and archery, do you dare to compete with me, a little lieutenant of the guard?" Don't say that you can win a certain family, if you can survive a few rounds under Nanba, a certain family will admit that you can bring soldiers! (To be continued.) )
