Chapter 64: The Rebellion of the Loyal Army
Huang Yan had always been working under Meng Hui before, so he had always been courteous to Meng Heng, and after listening to Meng Hui's question, he immediately bowed down and said, "This matter is good!" It was my brother who won it for General Meng! The little one also knows that the adult is still in the period of filial piety, and it stands to reason that he should not become an official!
But this time, General Meng must not shirk! You have also seen it in Zaoyang during this time, since the death of Lord Meng of Enfu, the Zhongshun Army has been turned upside down in the army, and the Jianghai control army is unfavorable, so that now there are many factions in the army, each of them doing their own thing, and even dumping each other, and there will be no group fights in a few days, to what extent has the military discipline been corrupted, I am afraid that the general has also heard of it!
The general also led troops in the Zhongshun Army, so don't you worry about this situation? You must know that this loyal army is not a garrison army of the imperial court, but a private placement army built up by your father with hard work. Wait to see this loyal army formed by Lord Meng, just like this, slowly rotten, sooner or later it will be disbanded by the imperial court to be very happy!
Is the general willing to watch the loyal army rot like this? I don't think so! Because the general is dedicated to the country, when he established this army in the first place, it was to use this army to resist the northern Hulu, otherwise, the general would not have helped Lord Meng to raise and establish this loyal army.

The deceased has passed away, and filial piety is indeed important, but the general saw that the loyal army was so rotten, and watched Lord Meng copy the river with enthusiasm, just to keep filial piety for Lord Meng, so he sat back and ignored it, is it filial piety?
The humble position is also to follow the general step by step to watch the establishment of the Zhongshun Army, and develop to this point now, looking at the Jin Army for several years, because of this army, there is Lord Meng, and he does not dare to covet the Zaoyang Army!
That's why the humble official told his brother in Beijing about the situation here, and it was after listening to what I said that he tried his best to get this position for the general, not to prevent the general from being filial, but to ask the general to set things right, retake charge of the loyal army, and restore the loyal army to the way it was before! lest Lord Meng's life's efforts be replicated in vain! Is that wrong? ā
Huang Yan didn't know where the anger came from, as soon as he opened his mouth, he couldn't hold it back, and like a cannon, he slammed towards Meng Heng.
Meng Hui looked at Huang Yan in front of him dumbfounded, he didn't expect that his angry words would make Huang Yan so angry, so that he actually forgot what he said just now for a while, but after listening to Huang Yan's words, Meng Heng felt like he had been electrocuted, and he had a feeling of awakening.
To be honest, during this time, he has been staying in Zaoyang, keeping filial piety for his father, and he has indeed heard what happened to the Zhongshun Army, and he regrets it very much, thinking that when his father was alive, how powerful the Zhongshun Army was, as a private equity army, as a new army, the Zhongshun Army was in the Zaoyang area, and the Jin Army did not dare to covet Zaoyang again, even if he sent troops to the south, he would only choose other places, and did not dare to send troops near Zaoyang, it was because of the Zhongshun Army and his father. However, not long after his father's death, there was such a situation of fighting for power and fighting each other within the Zhongshun Army, and Jiang Hai's orders were regarded as nothing, and Jiang Hai was unable to control the Zhongshun Army, so that now the military discipline of the Zhongshun Army is corrupt, and in just over a month, it is about to become a local disaster.
If it goes on like this, Huang Yan is right, sooner or later, the loyal army will provoke the anger of the heavens and people, and it will be light to be disbanded by the imperial court on the spot, and it is not sure that one day these people will turn against the Great Song Dynasty, and maybe they will surrender to the Jin State again! In that case, wouldn't the army that his father and he had built up become a rebel army, and wouldn't all the efforts have been replicated?
Meng Hui slowly sat down on the chair like a deflated ball, picked up Gao Huaiyuan's letter on the table, and unfolded it to study it carefully.
After Huang Yan finished venting, he also lost his anger, and felt that what he said just now was a bit excessive, so he softened down, and then said: "Please forgive the general, I was also excited just now, and I offended the general by saying something!" But what I said is also what I think in my heart, because I am also in the Loyal Shun Army, from a small capital, a former army commander, I have also witnessed the rise and fall of the Loyal Shun Army, and I don't want to watch the Loyal Shun Army go on like this!
The general still accepted the appointment of the imperial court! The Loyal Shun Army cannot do without you, only you can control the Loyal Shun Army and make it continue to flourish, if the general really does not want to accept it, then there is nothing to say about the humble position! It's not a bad thing to resign now and return to our Daye to enjoy the days of leisurely travel! ā
"Shut up! Enough is enough! No big, no small! Licentious! Meng Heng, who hadn't spoken for a long time, rolled his eyes, glared at Huang Yan fiercely, and reprimanded him.
Huang Yan immediately closed his mouth, but he did not bow his head, but looked at Meng Heng with a bright gaze, without flinching at all.
After Meng Hui and Huang Yan looked at each other for a while, they suddenly sighed, folded Gao Huaiyuan's letter and put it back in the envelope, gently put it on the table, stood up and turned around and walked to the wall, reached out and took off a knife on the wall, held it in his hand and looked left and right.
"This knife was given by Huaiyuan at the beginning, and following me can be regarded as more than a few years of fighting in the south and the north! The golden soldiers and thieves who died under this sword are not fifty but thirty! You're right, I can't sit idly by! Thank you Huang Yan! Thank you Brother Huaiyuan! So much thought for me, so much for the Loyal Shun Army! Whenever I see this knife, I often think of the scene when I killed the enemy in front of the battle with the Huaiyuan brothers! It's a pity that now that he has arrived in the capital, he can no longer go back into battle with me to rush and kill!
You're right, the Loyal Shun Army can't just rot like this, it's time for me to stand up and take care of this! But you also know that I left the Zhongshun Army, first to Gwanghua County as a county lieutenant, and then to Yizhou as a city patrol, if I return to the army now, if those people treat me like Jiang Hai, how will I deal with it? Meng Hui put the knife back in its sheath, hung it on the wall again, and turned to Huang Yan and asked.
Huang Yan was overjoyed when he heard this, and his signature thief smile appeared on his face again: "Hehe! The general is too worried, although the loyal army is in chaos now, but the lowly front army is not in chaos! Moreover, many of the general's subordinates were generals in various armies, and as long as the general came back, who would dare to disobey the general?
If there really is such a bastard, then there is no fear, the lowly position has also killed people, whether it is the enemy army or their own people who do not obey military orders, they have tasted their blood under the knife! It's not a humble blow, if the general comes back, dare someone not obey the general's orders, then I, Huang Yan, will never agree, and my front army is not made out of mud, as long as he is not afraid of death, just jump out and try! I really wouldn't mind killing a few of these bastards and showing them to the clowns! ā
Meng Hui finally smiled, punched Huang Yan on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "You are still the same!" It seems that with you, I have nothing to worry about! Okay, since you and the guy surnamed Gao have already dug the pit, then I can only jump in according to your design! You go back and put your soldiers and horses in order, and when the edict is issued, I will immediately go to the army!" Whether I can achieve the goal of you and my surname Gao, I don't dare to boast, it all depends on how you cooperate with me! ā
Huang Yan also laughed, knocked his feet, hugged his fists and said, "Obey orders!" ā
Sure enough, a few days later, the imperial edict of the court arrived in Zaoyang, and it was really like Gao Huaiyuan's letter, appointing Meng Heng to take over the Zhongshun Army, and at the same time serving as the commander of the Shenjin Army stationed in Suizhou, and suddenly became a general in charge of the military power on Jingxi Road, and his status can be called a soaring rocket speed, which shocked the Jingxi Army.
When the Loyal Shun Army heard that Meng Heng had come back to take over the Loyal Shun Army, many people became honest and didn't dare to jump around anymore, only a few uninteresting guys felt that they had made a lot of contributions, and they didn't take Meng Heng very seriously, and they were eager to try to compare.
But the ideal is very grand, but the end is very miserable, Meng Heng on the first day in the army, a few guys really don't come to the tent on time to order, Meng Hui is not in a hurry, just wait for them silently, everyone just stands under the sun to bask in the sun, everyone sweats profusely, at the beginning I don't feel anything, and then the more I wait, the more I feel that something is wrong, some generals began to worry a little, but more people are annoyed with these few blind guys, if it weren't for them, why should everyone bask in the sun here? One or two are draped all over their bodies, roasted by the sun like roast suckling pigs, and sweat is almost filled with boots!
I waited for an hour, a few guys were late, and they didn't care anymore, after arriving here, they pretended to excuse themselves, and each found various excuses to excuse themselves, Meng Heng didn't have any anger on his face, turned around and returned to the big tent, sat down in the center and said an opening remark to the people present, but then he threw out a dose of fierce medicine, and made a big adjustment to the loyal Shun army, and at once he set up a few guys who were not obedient to the teachings, and cut their military power, It's tantamount to asking them to find a place to retire!
So a few guys immediately jumped out and expressed their dissatisfaction, several of them were the first people to follow Meng Zongzheng before, it can be said that they were indispensable in the Zhongshun Army, even Meng Heng had participated in the formation of the Zhongshun Army, and they were not very convinced by Meng Heng, and now Meng Heng just took over Jiang Hai and became the commander of the Zhongshun Army, so they were set up in the air, so these people immediately quit.
