Chapter 438: Serve the Crowd
Especially when he saw Chen Zhen, Su Qin was stunned and frowned. He soon realized that he couldn't show his bad opinion of Chen Zhi on the surface, and he smiled and bowed to him. Chen Zhi was very arrogant, waved his hand casually, and bowed.
Su Qin was very unhappy in his heart, according to his temperament, he really wanted to attack on the spot and belittle Chen Zhen. But after thinking about it, I felt that this was not the time to be angry, so I endured it and pretended not to care.
As soon as they met, he asked Su Qin: "Lord Lingyin, they all said that the Korean army and the Qin army were fighting fiercely, why don't you see any signs of confrontation between the two armies." When will there be a battle to be fought? ”
Xiong Shang, the king of Chu, once gave Su Qin the seal of Ling Yin, which was equivalent to the level of prime minister, so Qu Xin still called Su Qin "Lord Ling Yin" according to the custom of Chu State. Su Qin smiled slightly, and said in his heart: "In the end, it is a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, this young general is really eager to fight, and he is eager to make meritorious contributions." Su Qin replied: "General Qu, don't worry, we will have a big battle to fight." ”
Su Qin also guessed: "Xiong Shang, the king of Chu, is probably also afraid of Qu Xin, a young man, and he can't hold back his temperament, so he sent Chen Zhi to assist." But where did the king of Chu know that Chen Zhi had a holiday with him. ”
"Besides, this person has a very close relationship with Gongsun Yan, and Gongsun Yan is in the camp of the Qin army in this battle, will the two of them secretly communicate with each other?" This is also a link that needs to be paid close attention to, and Su Qin secretly paid attention.
"If you don't guard against this person, I'm afraid that one day I won't know how the coalition forces will fail and how I will be betrayed."
The armies of the princes of the Five Roads gathered on the western outskirts of Luoyang City, and after the troops arrived, Su Qin met with the generals of the princes' armies in the big tent of the Chinese army of Zhao State. They came to report to Su Qin, and each presented a letter from the monarch before departure. Su Qin accepted these seals one by one, and with this thing, he had the command power over the combined forces.
However, even if the seal letter has been obtained, it is difficult for these scattered princes' troops to be under unified command. The generals were lined up under the treasure tent of the Chinese army, and Su Qin saw that they were wearing different military uniforms in their respective countries, with different colors, blue, green, yellow, blue, purple, etc., all colorful, and he felt very difficult at this time.
The generals of the Five Route Princes' armies were numerous, there were fifty or sixty of them, and they all felt that their country's army was the best, and they looked down on the armies of other countries. All of them stand tall and fold their stomachs, blow their beards and stare at their eyes, show off their might, and they are indispensable.
Su Qin patiently listened to the registration of the generals, and this process lasted for more than an hour. After waiting for the last general from Yan to report his name. Su Qin sat upright, his face sank, and he said in a loud voice: "The generals obey orders, I have something to tell you today!" ”
The reactions of the generals under the tent were mixed. Some of them are familiar with Su Qin and respect him, so they naturally answer more simply, such as Yan Sui and Zhou Shao. They all shouted, "The last general will take the order!" ”
Although some met Su Qin for the first time, they were soldiers who strictly abided by military orders and behaved well, and they also answered more clearly.
What annoyed Su Qin the most was that those generals who came from Chu, Qi and other big countries were more arrogant and arrogant, they didn't take others in their eyes at all, they didn't even give Su Qin face, and most of them lazily said "oh".
The most hateful thing is the Chu general Jingfeng, this person has received a lot of rewards for following Su Qin, taking advantage of it, and he is not working the battlefield. But it's full of arrogance.
He was quite familiar with Su Qin, and he was also an old qualified in front of other generals, so he agreed the latest, and only after the other people's answers had completely stopped, did he suddenly burst out: "Order!" ”
His reckless voice made the generals under his tent feel very amused, and the hall burst into laughter. Jing Feng didn't introspect at this time, but pretended not to know, and looked around with his head straight, and the generals were completely amused by his expression, and they leaned back and laughed.
Yan Sui saw that these so-called generals around him were so arbitrary and undisciplined, and they really sweated for Su Qin. He coughed loudly a few times, hoping to remind the generals to pay attention to military appearance and military discipline.
Su Qin was furious in his heart, his face turned blue with anger, he slapped the ruler on a few cases, and shouted: "No noise in the army, all the generals will return to their respective positions!" ”
The generals under the tent were taken aback when they heard the clear sound of the town ruler, and when they saw that Su Qin was angry, they each restrained their exaggerated expressions.
Su Qin paid special attention to the old enemy Chen Zhen, the generals laughed just now, but he was still honest, he just shook his lips slightly, bringing out a hint of laughter, and did not coax like others. Chen Zhi is like this, Su Qin feels that he is deeply hidden, and in these cowardly subtleties, a scheming person like him will never do anything.
Su Qin saw that his subordinates had restored discipline to a certain extent, so he ignored the fact that there were still individual generals who exchanged their heads and ordered: "Generals, we meet for the first time today, you may not understand the rules of the army set by my Su Qin, so there are many people who are late. When I announced the decree just now, some people didn't think so, and they didn't pay attention to it at all. I remember that the first time you entered the account to see the manager, there are extenuating circumstances, so I will not bother with you. ”
Su Qin said, glanced around the tent, and found that Tian Zhang, the noble son from the Qi Kingdom, was still talking to another Qi general beside him, Su Qin stopped his gaze on him, and snorted heavily in displeasure.
Tian Zhang's mouth was still moving, but the Qi general beside him saw Su Qin's stern gaze, and quickly poked Tian Zhang with his elbow, and Tian Zhang turned his head straight.
He swept Su Qin's anger with the rest of his eyes, but he didn't take it to heart.
He thought to himself: "Even if you are the commander, what should you do, but you are just a proponent of cooperation with little real power, and I am the real powerful person from the great princes." Even if I am like this, what will you do to me, and if you punish me, are you not afraid of offending the king of Qi and the soldiers of the Qi army? ”
Su Qin didn't understand their psychology, he was already thinking about how to deal with this group of scattered soldiers at this time. He went on to say:
"I, Su Qin, lead the troops, military discipline has always been never sloppy, the so-called ignorant is not a crime, before I announce the military discipline of the joint army, we can not blame the past, but once I have announced it to the public, if anyone commits it again, then I will severely punish it."
As he spoke, he looked solemnly at the generals standing under the tent, and found that the effect was not very good, and the generals were still talking in low voices, and they really thought that this operation was just a pretentious rush.
