Chapter 439: A duel in the army
Su Qin affirmed his discipline requirements for the generals as the commander, looking at everyone under the account, there are not many people who can listen to it, how can he not be angry in his heart! Almost at this moment, he made up his mind to rectify military discipline.
Su Qin then said to them: "You must not be unruly in the army, otherwise you will definitely be defeated on the battlefield." The generals came to the outskirts of Luoyang for the first time to meet, and the saddle horses were tired, and tomorrow you will rest for a day. In the morning of the day after tomorrow, I will beat the drums and gather the generals on time, hoping that the generals will not procrastinate like today. ”
Su Qin also emphasized: "When the day after tomorrow gathers generals, it is the time when I announce the military discipline of the joint alliance, and the generals of Wanwang will take back their hearts and concentrate on the battle that is about to start, instead of thinking about how to have fun. ”
As he spoke, he picked up an arrow on the handsome case, and said solemnly: "If anyone dares not arrive at the end of the day, I will not spare it!" After Su Qin finished speaking, he folded the arrow in his hand with both hands, and with a snap, the arrow was broken into two, making a crisp sound.
At that time, Yan Sui, Zhou Shao and others, who were standing next to Su Qinshuai's case, had followed Su Qin for many years, but they had never seen him have such a resolute attitude, and even broke the arrow to show firmness, Su Qin seemed to be going to move seriously.
These generals were also originally disciplined, not like the generals who rushed from all the princes just now, desolate and boring. Yan Sui glanced at the other generals under his account, and saw that there were still people among them who were talking to each other, and he couldn't help but be both angry and worried.
He thought to himself, "Will these people really be able to arrive on time?" If not, once today's restraints are faithfully enforced, I don't know how many unlucky ghosts who don't know the severity of the matter will be bumped under the knife. ”
Su Qin gathered for the first time to discuss matters, and they broke up so unhappily. After the generals left, Su Qin left Yan Sui and Zhou Shao behind, and Su Qin instructed them: "Many of the princes and soldiers do not abide by military discipline, I am worried that they will behave mishaps, you lead the Chinese army guard troops, hold the Chinese army token, and strengthen the supervision of the large battalion of the joint army." Report any anomalies to me as soon as they occur. ”
The second general took the order and left, Su Qin let out a sigh of relief, he straightened his waist, and felt that he was very tired physically and mentally. I really didn't expect it to be so tiring to lead this group of princes. However, the matter has come to this point, and it can only be done reluctantly, and the princes and soldiers must be allowed to enter the state as soon as possible, otherwise, it will only add trouble and laughter.
That night, probably at the same time, Su Qin had already taken off his clothes, entered the inner room of the Chinese army's treasure tent, and was about to go to bed, when he heard a guard outside the door say: "Report to Prime Minister Su, Yan Sui and General Zhou Shao ask to meet!" ”
When Su Qin heard this, he was shocked in his heart, and thought: "This prince's soldiers are really not peaceful, and the second general must have discovered an abnormal situation." ”
He hurriedly draped his clothes over his body, and while tying the belt of his robe, he walked out of the inner room. He replied to the guard: "There is Yan, two generals." ”
With his words, Yan Sui and Zhou Shao, who were inspecting the military camp, came from outside the tent, and as soon as they entered the treasure tent, they bowed their hands to Su Qin. Su Qin waved his hand and motioned for them to be excused.
Su Qin asked, "I don't know if the two generals came late at night, what important military intelligence reports are there?" ”
Yan Sui didn't talk much, he stabbed Zhou Shao and asked Zhou Shao to report. Zhou Shao then took the lead and said: "The last general and General Yan were ordered by the prime minister to inspect the camps of the princes from all walks of life tonight. ”
Su Qin nodded and said, "You two have worked hard, I don't know if the princes from all walks of life have denied the Chinese army token, have you been embarrassed?" ”
Zhou Shao looked unhappy and said: "At first, they were still chirping, pretending not to know the Chinese army token, and those camp guards knocked the token to look at it, and didn't want us to enter the camp to check. However, I saw that they were not convinced, and immediately looked at each other angrily, and now they were honest. ”
Su Qin listened and smiled, he knew that with Zhou Shao's temper, he couldn't stand the arrogance and rudeness of the princes and soldiers. Su Qin said: "It is routine for the camp guards to check the tokens, and it is understandable. It's just a different story if you're deliberately embarrassed. ”
Zhou Shao was so angry that he picked his beard and said: "I think they are underbeaten, once they are given some hard, they will be afraid and cowardly!" ”
Yan Sui also nodded yes, and he added: "Although General Zhou is angry, there is some truth in it, and the prime minister can't be too polite to those undisciplined princes and soldiers." In this way, it will eventually lead to a complete loss of combat effectiveness. ”
Su Qin said: "I have written down the advice of the two generals, I have my own measure, you will wait and see." ”
Zhou Shao also reported: "We went to inspect today, and found that many of the princes and soldiers were drinking and having fun, and we originally wanted to report to the prime minister the next day, but then something more chaotic happened, and we had to come to report it at night." ”
When Su Qin heard this, he couldn't help frowning and asked, "What is going on, tell me the truth quickly." ”
Zhou Shao then said: "If you drink alcohol in the army, it is inevitable that there will be drunken people who make trouble, and we found them there in the camp of the Chu State. It's so noisy that it's about to start. ”
Su Qin hurriedly asked, "Who are the two sides of the quarrel, and why did they have a dispute?" ”
Zhou Shao replied: "The people who quarreled were Chu General Jingfeng and their young general Qu Xin, both of whom were drunk and troubled. General Yan and I went up to dissuade us, but to no avail, and we couldn't use force against each other, so we had to come back and report to the prime minister. We are worried that these two people will really make a move and disturb the morale of the army. ”
Su Qin had already put on his outer robe at this time, tied the treasure belt around his waist tightly, and while tying socks and wearing combat boots, he instructed Zhou Shao and Yan Sui: "You two work harder, show me the way, I will hurry to the camp of Chu State to inspect it." ”
The camp of the Chu army was on the left side of the camp of the Zhao army, where Su Qin was, and he arrived there in less than a quarter of an hour under the leadership of Zhou Shao and Yan Sui.
At this time, the situation had become more and more intense, and as soon as Su Qin entered the Chu military camp, he found that it was chaotic inside, some of the soldiers gathered together to chat, and some walked back and forth, looking at the excitement everywhere.
Su Qin saw that in the middle of the camp, near the barracks tent of the Chu army, thousands of soldiers were gathered, and everyone watched a dispute, and from time to time there were shouts and drum noises.
Su Qin hurriedly went to find out, he came to the periphery, looked inside, and there was a black head in front of him, outside the tent of the Chinese army, a few torches were lit, illuminating the front of the tent. There, several generals of the state of Chu with troops gathered.
Su Qin knew that something bad must have happened in the Dao, and if he didn't deal with it as soon as possible, something big would happen soon. He didn't care about his identity, and shouted at the Chu soldiers to give way, and squeezed into the crowd. Zhou Shao and Yan Sui also helped Su Qin, they pushed away the crowd and shouted: "Quickly retreat to both sides, the commander of the coalition army, Su Qincheng, has arrived!" ”
The soldiers and soldiers of Chu did not understand anything, when they set out from the state of Chu, they only got the message that they were going to Michi in South Korea to complete an easy task, and they did not know that they were going to fight, let alone who the commander was, they did not care at all.
It took Su Qin and the others a lot of effort to squeeze out a passage, and when he reached the inner circle, he immediately saw the tense formation there.
In the open space in front of the Chuzhong military camp tent, there were two generals standing on the left and right, Qu Xin on one side and Jing Feng on the other. They each drew their swords and looked at each other nervously, in a duel posture, and were about to attack.
Seeing this scene, Su Qin didn't have time to ask the reason in detail, so he shouted: "What are you two going to do, stop for me and put away the sword." ”
As he spoke, he stood between the two of them without fear of danger, blocking them from the screen. However, neither Qu Xin nor Jing Feng withdrew their swords, and Wu raised their swords to make offensive moves.
They all glanced at Su Qin, but they didn't seem to hear his order. At this time, Su Qin found that Chen Zhi was standing at the door of the big tent, and a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Su Qin once again issued an order to Qu Xin and Jing Feng: "You guys are fighting in the same room, and you actually draw your swords against each other. Now that they are fighting in a foreign land, they should be united, but they are fighting with each other, and they are not ashamed? I repeat, put down your sword and leave it at my disposal! ”
Qu Xin and Jing Feng were still hesitating, Su Qin waved his hand to Zhou Shao and Yan Sui, Zhou Shao and Yan Sui understood, they pulled out the swords under their waists with a bang, Zhou Shao was in charge of Qu Xin, Yan Sui was in charge of Jing Feng, and they were going to pick off their weapons when they went up.
Qu Xin and Jing Feng didn't expect Su Qin to dare to confront them, they raised their swords and dodged to the side. At this time, when the other generals of the Chu army saw their own generals and generals attacking, they all reached out and touched the hilt of their swords, intending to help their own people.
Su Qin saw this scene in an instant, and his heart was full of anger, he couldn't bear it anymore, thinking that he must cut through the chaos quickly.
He himself suddenly pulled out the Qingshuang Sword under his waist, only to see the cold light flash, and the sword in Jing Feng's hand broke into two with a bang.
Jing Feng had never seen Su Qin wield a sword with his own eyes, and when he followed Su Qin, Su Qin was already the prime minister of the Six Kingdoms, so naturally he didn't have to fight and kill anymore, and there was no need to draw his sword to fight with people, so Jing Feng was the first time he saw Su Qin's martial arts. He always thought that Su Qin had a sword under his waist, just for show.
Not only Jing Feng was surprised, but most of the others were also stunned by Su Qin's lightning-fast blow, their eyes widened, looking at Su Qin, stunned.
Only that Chen Zhi only flashed a trace of uneasiness in the corner of his eyes, but he quickly regained his calm. He knew Su Qin's martial arts very well, after all, he had so many dealings back then, and Su Qin was in the era of hard work at that time, and it was common to dance with knives and guns.
Su Qin broke Jing Feng's sword, but he didn't even look at him, this person is a master who has nothing to do, since following Su Qin, he has not caused much trouble, Su Qin knows this. Su Qin's gaze was fixed on Qu Xin.
He said majestically: "General Qu, if you don't withdraw your sword quickly, do you want me to do the same?" ”
