Chapter 339: Stabilizing the Rear

Liuyun County General's Mansion. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

An unpleasant meeting was going on intensely.

A few days ago, two pieces of paper were found from Zhai Fu's body, one was a Tibetan silver map, and the other was an urgent military letter from Tongque Pass. It reads:

"Captain Lizhong whipped the soldiers because of the sinful wine, those soldiers could not bear it, mutinied, broke into the general's palace and stabbed Lizhong to death, who led the army in Tongque Pass, please General Song quickly decide."

Previously, Song Qi did not believe Zhai Fu's disguise and assassination because of Zhai Fu's disguise and assassination. But after searching for this urgent military letter, Song Qi felt that the mutiny at Tongque Pass was indeed a fact.

Song Qi roughly remembered what happened: the soldiers who delivered the letter rushed to Liuyun County to deliver the letter in a hurry, and met Zhai Fu on the way, Zhai Fu knew that he was a soldier who sent an urgent military letter, so he killed him, and disguised himself as him, and then pretended to be in a hurry to run to the school to report the incident, and suddenly pulled out a dagger to assassinate Song Qi and the left and right when they were defenseless.

Song Qi was going to take advantage of the high enthusiasm of the soldiers to arrange the expedition, but now that he learned that the rear was unstable and the silver was missing, in that case, what was he in the mood to arrange the expedition.

After Zhai Fu's assassination, Song Qi spent most of his time and energy tracking down the Tibetan silver.

Now that the Tibetan silver has been accounted for, the military salaries have been settled, and the morale of the army has been greatly boosted, the next step is to stabilize the rear.

Song Qi sat in the middle with a sinking face, his eyes scanning the participants with empty eyes. Mingyu sat next to him, also with a melancholy expression. Fu Haowei Yu Manyin Iron sat on the left, and Diandian Shufu Hua Mengmao Yong sat on the right. Several senior lieutenants who had just been promoted also attended the meeting. More than a dozen people have more than a dozen expressions.

After a while, Song Qi sighed heavily and said, "I originally planned to go on the expedition in the next two days, but I didn't expect such a horrific thing as a mutiny and assassination of the captain by the soldiers. The rear is restless, how can you talk about going on the expedition? Let's talk about it, how should this matter be handled? ”

Yin Tie cleared his throat, and said in an excited and stern voice: "Those soldiers and soldiers actually assassinated the captain, this is okay, isn't this a clear rebellion?" I think that those mutinous soldiers should be arrested and brought to justice as soon as possible, and severely punished, so as to make an example of each other. Otherwise, in the future, the generals will not become soldiers, they will not become generals, how to kill the enemy to win, how to protect the territory and the people? ”

"Yes, yes!" Cha Nenggui patted the armrest of the chair with his hand, and said with a solemn expression, "These mutinous soldiers must be punished severely. ”

"This Lizhong is too unreasonable!" Yu Man waved his hand and put forward a different opinion, "The soldiers in front of him bled hard to earn some credit, why did he have red eyes and complain?" He also drunkenly whipped the soldiers, and he deserved to be stabbed to death. ”

"yes!" Solo said, he waved his big hand, and there was a disdain in his voice, "If they have the ability, they can also go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions!" Others charge in front, shed blood and sacrifice, they are jealous of others in the back, what kind of heroes are they! ”

His words won the approval of many people. People nodded their heads.

Song Qi looked at Mingyu sideways, caught a glimpse of Mingyu's lips moving slightly, and hurriedly asked, "Mingyu, do you have any opinion on this?" ”

"This cannot simply be seen as a matter between the Lizhong and the mutinous soldiers." Mingyu's beautiful eyes turned slightly, quickly glanced at the people seated, lightly opened her lips, and her voice was tactful, "The cause of the incident is not that Lizhong was drunk or whipped the soldiers, but that Lizhong wanted to make meritorious service but could not make meritorious service. ”

Some nodded, others were speechless.

"Lizhong's idea is not actually his own idea, but can represent the idea of many guards. The soldiers in the front shed blood and sacrificed, but they could earn merit and honor, and the soldiers in the rear did not need to shed blood and sacrifice, but they could not earn merit and honor. After a pause, Mingyu turned his head and glanced at Song Qi, then glanced at everyone, and asked seductively: "Let's talk about it, for the majority of soldiers, what is their ultimate pursuit?" ”

Some answered "merit", some "honor", and some both.

Mingyu's eyes swept around the hall and said to everyone: "Since the ultimate pursuit of the soldiers is merit and honor, they are not afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice, what they are afraid of is that there is no chance of meritorious service. ”

"Since joining the army, we've pinned our heads to our belts. What we are pursuing is to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions! Li Su said in an excited tone, turning his head to look at the other lieutenants. The two lieutenants and several lieutenants nodded in agreement.

Yu Man still said angrily: "Since they want to make meritorious contributions, they can apply to General Song to be transferred to the front to fight, why should they whip the soldiers to be majestic?" ”

Yin Tie shook his head with some understanding: "Maybe they want to apply but don't dare to apply, for fear that General Song will blame, after all, General Song sent them to defend the city." ”

After listening to everyone's discussion, Song Qi basically figured out the thoughts of those generals. They all want to make meritorious contributions, and they are not afraid of death, but the premise is to live. If you die in battle, no matter how great the credit is, you can't enjoy it, and it's empty.

Song Qi touched his chin with his hand, thought for a while, and made a decision in his heart, he wanted to transfer those who had been guarding the pass for a while to the front to fight, and send these people around him who had already made a lot of contributions back to guard the pass.

He picked up two arrows from the handsome case, raised his eyes and glanced at several senior colonels, and ordered: "Cha Nenggui, I order you to guard Tongque Pass, and at the same time, you must arrest the several soldiers who mutinied and punish them heavily." "Yes!" Cha Nenggui happily accepted the arrow.

Song Qi also appointed Yi Fan as the Jade Rabbit Guard, and Li Su as the Iron Horse Guard. The two of them took the arrow very happily.

These people have already made a lot of contributions, and they have already been promoted to the rank of colonel, even if they make even greater contributions, it is impossible to rise to the position under the ceiling of Song Qi, a small general. Therefore, it is acceptable to give up the opportunity to make meritorious service to others.

Song Qi picked up another arrow, turned his head to look at Shu Fu, and said, "Deputy General Shu, I order you to be the guard of Heihe Town!" Song Qi still thought and hesitated when he made this decision. Shu Fu was originally the general of Heihe Town, and it would be inappropriate to send him to guard Heihe Town again? But he thought about it for a moment and decided.

As soon as Song Qi's words came out, he immediately attracted the questioning eyes of Yu Man and Yin Tie. They felt that it was inappropriate for Song Qi to do this, but no one put the words in his stomach into words.

After Shu Fu heard this order, he was stunned at first, he looked at Song Qi in disbelief, and was a little overwhelmed for a while... (To be continued.) )
