273. It is not my desire for the disabled to invite merit (2)
"I don't respect you for your merits, but for your words, and I can say this, but I must be loyal and righteous."
After the salute, Lu Xiangsheng stood up, his face slightly excited.
His surname was originally a blood surname, otherwise he would not have led the army to fight so well as a literati.
Qi Niu's words came to his heart, and he felt the same way, feeling that these martial artists are now because of these three kinds of mistakes, so the country is not appeased, and they have spent countless hours of manpower and financial resources, but they have never been solved.
Fighting for merit, bullying the people, and being cruel inside and outside are actually the common diseases of today's martial artists.
Thinking of this, he said sincerely: "The strong man can say this, it is really in one sentence. Because of this, the strong man should come out to serve the country, report to the king's grace, save the people, and be worthy of his own skills. β
"This is not what I Lao Niu said, it was said by a small official of my family." Qi Niu said innocently: "My old cow doesn't know anything!" β
His original sentence was still righteous and strict, but I hope this sentence will be revealed again, and that naΓ―ve appearance made Lu Xiangsheng stunned for a moment, and then doubly happy.
He saw that Zu Kuan next to him had gloomy eyes and a murderous face, so he turned around and comforted: "Don't be like General Zu Bing, it turns out to be a simple person, why is it angry?" β
Zu Kuan smiled reluctantly, naturally he still held a grudge in his heart, but he wanted to find a step down: "Yes, I will not be like a fool." β
"I won't be as knowledgeable as you." Qi Niu Road.
The corners of Shi Kefa's mouth couldn't help twitching, he had a lot of dealings with Qi Niu, Lu Xiangsheng saw that Qi Niu was a general, couldn't he see it, as early as the first half of the year, he thought about Fa'er prying through Yu Guozhen's corner, and wanted to dig a few people from the guard, the primary target was this Qi Niu, but it turned out to be a nose of ashes. At that time, Shi Kefa found that this old cow looked naΓ―ve and a little clumsy when he spoke, but in fact, he was clever in his heart, and many times, he was just pretending to be stupid!
Sun Lin also came out at this time and said with a smile: "Lao Niu is a fool, don't blame the officials...... Old Niu, you go back first. β
Qi Niu didn't do it: "Childe said that I want to protect you, lest some people bully the weak and rob us of our credit!" β
Lu Xiangsheng frowned, whether this fool is really or fake!
"Speaking of merit, presumably Lu Shilang and Governor Shi have all received the official battle report, and yesterday they fought fiercely with the enemy and broke the enemy by nearly 2,000 people, right?" Sun Lin said with a smile: "However, it was too late for the lower officials to send someone to change the war report later, and there were some mistakes in the war report yesterday." β
Pan Keda, who was next to him, heard this, and couldn't help but pause, but Shi Kefa saw Sun Lin's smile and felt that his cold hair stood up: How can this guy laugh exactly the same as when Yu Guozhen wanted to rectify people, it was really close to Zhu and red and black to ink!
Lu Xiangsheng heard the words, and he didn't say anything, and he secretly blamed him in his heart, he could say this to Shi Kefa in private, and even ask himself to see him in private, but it was not suitable to say it in public!
Sure enough, the ancestor Kuan's surname was impatient, and after hearing it, he laughed loudly: "I said, only relying on 2,000 Anlu soldiers, where can there be any big victory, it's just a lie, and maybe there is something to kill the good for merit - didn't that stupid big man just say that bullying the people has brought glory and wealth......"
"Shut up!" Lu Xiangsheng shouted.
Zu Kuan didn't give Lu Xiangsheng face this time, he already hated Niu and Sun Lin in his heart, if he was given a chance on the battlefield, he would have to stab the two of them in the back - it was not uncommon for them to do this in the Guanning army. Therefore, he raised his voice and said: "Lu Shilang can be inspected by the public, lie about the results of the battle, and kill the good and take the merits, which is a big crime, although the general is a guest general, but he can't sit back and watch the fathers and elders of the people of Anlu be trampled on by such dog officials." This official has the right to seal the secret play, and he has to ask for a book! β
He was not ashamed, Lu Xiang was so angry that he pressed the hilt of his sword, if it weren't for his Tianxiong Wei not being by his side, he would have taken Zu Kuan down the heavy responsibility today. He glanced at Sun Lin, no matter how frivolous and unreliable Sun Lin was, it was still the Donglin branch after all, and he Lu Xiangsheng must find a way to keep it!
Thinking of this, he said lightly: "After the war, in a hurry, when calculating merit, errors are inevitable. β
Before Sun Lin could answer, a person behind Zu Kuan jumped out again, and he said angrily: "No, no, this guy not only lied about his military exploits, but also wanted to rob his colleagues of military exploits. Prime Minister, the last general will fight the Tartars outside the Guan, defeat the Liukou in the Guan, and fight thousands of miles, and the sons and daughters under him are all true warriors who are injured for the country, if we are said to be humiliated by these little rabbit cubs in vain, we might as well go back to the Guanwai! β
"It's the pole, it's the pole, go back to the gate!"
"Let these Anlu soldiers kill the rogues by themselves!"
"This is not our Liaodi ......"
"Shut up!" Lu Xiangsheng saw that there was a faint mutiny, and he was also anxious in his heart, he had accumulated power for a long time, so after drinking, the Guan Ning army who was coaxing quieted down, but a pair of eyes stared at him, obviously, if he couldn't give everyone an explanation, even if they didn't mutiny, these Guan Ning troops would not work hard when they fought in the future.
Lu Xiangsheng glanced at Sun Lin and sighed, he knew that although Zu Kuan didn't make a sound, but Guan Ningjun made a fuss, but it was Zu Kuan's signal. The only way now is to ask Sun Lin to apologize to this martial artist, or add a Qi Niu, who can barely appease Zu Kuan.
Thinking of this, he spoke, "Ke Xian...... There are many misunderstandings in today's matter, so you should make amends to General Zu. β
"It's a misunderstanding." Sun Lin smiled on his face, and smiled even more in his heart, sure enough, all the development was exactly the same as Yu Jimin expected.
The smile on his face was real, but the smile in his heart was bitter.
It is Lu Xiangsheng who is a Donglin Gancheng, and now he has to take care of the warriors, sure enough, because the troubled times have come, the status of the warriors has risen rapidly, relying on these warriors who have developed a bad problem to resist foreign aggression and cut down the internal strife, if it lasts for a long time, the result will be a new feudal town!
Liukou, the feudal town, the Hulu in the northeast, this is another late Tang Dynasty.
Hearing that Sun Lin said that he had misunderstood, Zu Kuan waited for him to apologize, and was ready to apologize after he apologized, and still held on.
He had a fierce thought in his heart, but he heard Sun Lin say lightly: "The credit of the return is a little less reported, I originally thought that the King of the Liukou Mixed World would flee after being shot to death, but I didn't think that there was still Prince Shun and Kaishan Tiger in Hengtianwang, so I have already said that 1,500 people and horses were broken in Kaishan Tiger yesterday evening, and 3,000 elites were broken in Hengtian King Prince Shun in the early hours of this morning." If we add the miscellaneous thieves, the total number of thieves has exceeded 20,000, and 3,400 thieves have been captured and beheaded. β
"What!"
Zu Kuan originally thought that he was exaggerating his military exploits, but he didn't expect that the misunderstanding in his mouth turned out to be a greater military exploit!
Sun Lin ignored him this time, but bowed his hand to Lu Xiangsheng and Shi Kefa: "Please come with the officials and the governor." β
Lu Xiangsheng's head was also a little dizzy at this time, he followed Sun Lin without saying a word, and Shi Kefa followed, but he took two steps and glanced back at Zu Kuan.
When he saw the purple and swollen skin on Zu Kuan's face, Shi Kefa laughed dryly twice before taking a step.
He actually had some sympathy for Zu Kuan in his heart. With his understanding of Sun Lin, Sun Lin's surname is more impulsive, and he can't put such a trap at all, all of this must be controlled by Yu Guozhen behind his back. Zu Kuan only received a second slap on his face now, and there must be a third and fourth slap waiting for him next.
I used to ...... I was so dizzy.
Sometimes, Shi Kefa even felt that the changes in the court were also related to Yu Guozhen. Wen Tiren's resignation and idleness was a strange plan by Yu Guozhen to save Qian Muzhai, so Wen Zhenmeng's return to his hometown was not a strange plan by Yu Guozhen to get those chaotic people in Anqing?
They followed Sun Lin through the camp, and soon arrived at the pontoon bridge, Sun Lin pointed to the Zhegao River in front of him, only to see that the distance from the pontoon bridge was about twenty zhang, and the corpses were piled up, almost forming a dam.
"In this morning's battle, from one moment to three quarters, the thief chief Hengtian King and Prince jumped out of the water, and fled with only more than forty horsemen, and most of his elite soldiers died here, and it is estimated that there were fourteen or five hundred people, and another thousand were captured." Sun Lin said calmly: "This is the blessing of Your Majesty, the prestige of the two governors of Shilang and Fufu, plus the soldiers and righteous people working together, to have this victory." β
The facts don't lie, the piled up corpses made Lu Xiangsheng's eyes full of ecstasy, and also made Zu Kuan, who came with him, stunned, as for Shi Kefa, he would have been surprised for a long time, as long as Yu Guozhen came out, then it must be such a result.
"That's ...... Victory? Lu Xiangsheng swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty.
"Big win." Sun Lin nodded, and his face finally flushed with excitement: "It can be said that you have broken the finger of the thief!" β
"Well done!" Lu Xiangsheng high-fived with a fist, and at this time, he no longer hesitated. He supervised the war between the army and the thieves and other rogues, and also fought for thousands of miles, the real thief and the fake thief, you can tell the difference at a glance, the corpse in the river, sure enough, is the elite of the thief, the corpse is piled up layer by layer to form a river weir, it is indeed not less than 1,400 people!
This is a big victory, and it can even be said that it is a rare big victory!
"Please also invite the two officials to come here." Sun Lin said again.
He led the people down the stream, around a small ridge, and came to a valley with a river beach. In the middle of the valley, thousands of rogue-like people sat on the ground, all facing the corpses in the river, all of them looking terrified. Sun Lin turned his face and said to Lu and Shi with a smile: "Place these thieves and prisoners here, and look at the corpses in the river, they will know the fate of the turmoil." Sun Laosan, come here, have you counted the number of people? β
"Ladies and gentlemen, there are three thousand seven hundred and twenty-one people in total, but the other side of the river is still sending them here, so there may be four thousand people in a while." Elder Sun said loudly.
"Ah, I also ask General Zu for forgiveness, this official accidentally lied about his military exploits again, misunderstanding, misunderstanding!" When Sun Lin heard this, he saw Zu Kuan, who had been pouting, and stabbed him slightly.
Zu Kuan's face became red and swollen again.
