Liu Quan's sudden outburst to kill Zheng Longfang, a general who opposed Li Xin, also surprised Li Xin, it seems that honest people will bite people if they are in a hurry. Although the shape of the outside is unknown, the situation inside the courtyard is still firmly controlled by Li Xin, and the attitude of several commanders and generals is unknown, plus there are only a few dozen guards, and in the face of the deterrence of hundreds of Li Xin's subordinates, they all honestly dare not act rashly.

Li Xin found that Liu Quan's expression was wrong, and he seemed to be extremely frightened, and then he retreated to Li Xin's side and muttered in a low voice: "General, how can it be good to leave the most critical person behind?" ”

"Who?"

"Former battalion general Yao Wenchang!"

I haven't heard of this person, but seeing Liu Quan's rather frightened appearance, this person must also be a difficult character to deal with.

"General, this person was extremely arrogant when the marshal was still alive, and he never took the people under him in his eyes, he was afraid, he was afraid that he couldn't be subdued......"

Li Xin burst into laughter:

"There are no cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods that the Ming King can't subdue in this Ming Dynasty, go, go out!"

Most of the soldiers stayed behind to take care of the generals in the courtyard, and Li Xin only took a dozen soldiers to go out with Liu Quan, but he saw that it was dusty outside, and there were really a lot of cavalry. But Li Xin still took the lead, grabbed Liu Zeqing's head and threw it in front of the head of the general, and said coldly:

"Liu Zeqing is disrespectful to the decree, and before I was ordered by the governor of the three provinces to kill the army, if I disobey, I will go against the court and rebel!"

Unexpectedly, the general turned over and dismounted, and said with a smile: "The envoy misunderstood, I heard that there was a change in the barracks, and the generals gathered to make trouble, and the junior general led the troops to come, and obeyed the envoy's dispatch!" The cavalry behind him said in unison: "Obey the envoy!" ”

This change shocked Liu Quan's boss, who opened his mouth, and couldn't close it for half a day.

"Yao, General Yao, you, what are you?"

This general is none other than Yao Wenchang.

"Isn't this Vice General Liu, Liu Thief violated the Holy Decree, and the envoy came to act on behalf of the sky, Yao naturally wanted to stand on the side of the envoy!"

After that, he glanced at Liu Quan meaningfully, with disdain and surprise in his expression.

Li Xin still has deep doubts about Yao Wenchang's investment, this person is by no means as simple as he said on the surface, since he has an absolute advantage, he can still choose to stand in line with such a clear banner, which shows that this person should have other plans.

Of course, Yao Wenchang can also take the risk of killing Li Xin and others, and then claim that he killed the thief who attacked and killed Liu Zeqing.

Li Xin was guarding against this possibility, so even if Yao Wenchang made his position clear, he did not dare to slack off in the slightest. Yao Wenchang seemed to feel a trace of doubt from Li Xin's unwavering gaze.

"Special Envoy Rongyu, let the young general go in and explain to the generals what the situation is?"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Li Xin to answer, he heard the noise in the courtyard and suddenly became louder, Lu Jiu was full of joy and rushed over to Li Xin.

"Brother Thirteen, they have all expressed their positions, and they are all willing to obey the dispatch!"

Since it was easy to express his position, Li Xin immediately convened the generals in the barracks in the big tent of the Chinese army in the military camp in the capacity of Sun Chengzong's special envoy and held a military meeting. The main thrust of the topic is that there is only one thing. Open and pull, go straight!

Li Xinneng personally beheaded Liu Zeqing in order to become a straightening officer, and no one dared to raise objections on this matter, but he quarreled over some trivial matters. Yao Wenchang stood up first, and pointed his head at Liu Quan.

"The deputy general Liu Quan was originally a slave of Liu Thief, and he relied on luck to get the high position of deputy general. And this person hooked up with a traitor, and did a bad thing with Liu Thief's concubine and maidservant, and hoped that the envoy would return justice and clarity to the Shandong Army! ”

The words were high-sounding, and every sentence hit the nail on the head, so shocked that Liu Quan pointed out Yao Wenchang, and he was speechless for a long time.

"You, you, you bloody mouth!"

It's good that Liu Quan didn't speak, but this mouth retorted, and the generals rose up one after another to attack him, embezzling money, falsely reporting war exploits, and all kinds of pickled and rotten things were poked out. Li Xinxin said, Liu Quan's popularity is indeed too bad, and the generals present may not all have the same heart as Yao Wenchang, but they can take such a consistent position in dealing with Liu Quan, it must be that Liu Quan offended them miserably when they were fighting against people.

For a time, the crowd was excited, from the initial deprivation of one of his military positions, to the final evolution of not killing enough to anger the people. After all, Liu Quan is used to being a dog, and no matter how fierce he usually barks, he can leave his master to be the tiger and leopard fighting alone, and he immediately revealed his true form and looked at Li Xin for help.

The things that the generals said may not be true, even if there is half of the water, Liu Quan is definitely the best in the world, deceiving the superiors and concealing the subordinates, acting for the tiger, embezzling public funds, falsely reporting war exploits, and adultery, which one of them is a major crime that people despise in the Ming Dynasty.

Just when everyone thought that killing Liu Quan was a foregone conclusion, the words of the special envoy Li Xin made everyone quiet down suddenly.

"Listen to my words, when this eventful autumn, it is not easy to think of employing people, I don't care about anything before I built it, from today onwards, set up rules, and if there are those who dare to offend, they will not be spared!"

Although the words were euphemistic, everyone could hear that Li Xin was favoring Liu Quan and protecting him.

When Liu Quan heard this, he immediately burst into tears, knelt down in front of Li Xin, and climbed a few steps to protect his thighs, thanking him a thousand times. The generals who watched frequently looked sideways and disdainful of it.

Li Xin also had to do something to keep Liu Quan, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there are battles, and Liu Zeqing's Shandong army is definitely not monolithic. Today, it can be seen that Yao Wenchang and Liu Quan must have a deep contradiction, Liu Zeqing can suppress the two when he is there, but once he is gone, the contradiction will immediately intensify. And what he Li Xin said was that he temporarily led the whole army as a special envoy, but in fact, if it was more serious, he would not be able to transfer a single soldier.

If the original balance in the Shandong army is broken, then he will really become a deaf ornament, and the real power will be owned by Yao Wenchang. This thing obeys his own words, and may not be under the guise of using himself as a pretext to justifiably obtain the control of the Shandong Army without bloodshed.

Let's talk about this Liu Quan, although he is bullied and afraid of the hard, he is not a bare-bones deputy general, and the Liu Zeqing pro-army under his control is the strongest force in the Shandong army. Although there are only less than 2,000 people, they are all elites who are worth ten, and they should definitely not be underestimated.

Li Xin has played the role of balancing all parties in an extremely weak position since Liu Zeqing's death, and at this time Liu Quan was rescued, in order to survive in the cracks after Liu Zeqing's death, he would inevitably fall to Li Xin's side, and when Liu Quan was contained, Yao Wenchang would not dare to do anything too out of line.

Thinking of this, Li Xin couldn't help but sigh, the factional struggle in the Ming army is becoming more and more intense, you fight for me, the internal friction is so strict, and the combat effectiveness itself is not good, how can you beat the wolf-like Tartar and the locust-like thief? In the end, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty was not destroyed by thieves and Tartars, but called itself to destroy itself.

In the original history, he still admired the Chongzhen Lord in the Forbidden City, where the Son of Heaven guarded the country and the king died. But now it seems that the fall of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to natural and man-made disasters, should be added to his "ability" to employ people. Although he has the best desire to prosper the Ming Dynasty, the people he uses as the center are either people who fight for power and profit, or they are flies and dogs. Zhou Yanru, Wen Tiren and other cadres, which one is a usable minister who can assist the king?

is like today's Yang Sichang, who was originally a capable minister, but because of political disputes, he disregarded the overall situation of the country, attacked and framed colleagues, and even did not hesitate to sacrifice national affairs. There is also Liu Zeqing in front of him, such an unbearable character, who can become the chief soldier of a town, and the official title is the governor of Zuo.

Yao Wenchang never expected that Li Xin would wait to block the pressure of all the generals to keep Liu Quan, but he was unwilling to give up.

"Vice General Liu has committed a lot of crimes, is extremely incompetent, and is in a high position, the special envoy is so disposed of, I'm afraid the generals will not accept it, right?"

Li Xin thought for a moment.

"Personnel appointments and dismissals are by no means arbitrary to our special envoys, and they need to be reported to the imperial court by the chief military officer, and the imperial court will decide on the appointment and dismissal.

The generals in the tent suddenly quieted down, and the envoy's statement was quite intriguing. I saw that Yao Wenchang no longer insisted, nodded and promised, and the generals also agreed, and those who provoked the leader did not continue, and there was no need for them to be strong. However, Liu Quan was a little dumbfounded, and his heart that had fallen to the ground was pulled up again, and he looked at Li Xin with a pair of eyes full of grievances.

Liu Quan has weaknesses in his character, but he is by no means a fool. He couldn't understand the meaning of Li Xin's words, he was telling the big guy that he was just temporarily taking care of the Shandong Army as a special envoy, and he did not participate in the factional struggle in the battalion, but he did not want to lose control, and it was best to maintain the original balance. As for what everyone wants to do after Li Xin leaves, he will never interfere with half a word.

But thinking that Li Xin was here, he would be fine for the time being, and Liu Quan's worried heart settled down again. He was now glad that he had killed Zheng Longfang, not Yao Wenchang. Although both of them are Liu Zeqing's right-hand men, their personalities are decidedly opposite. If it was Zheng Longfang who led the army outside, with his character, he would definitely raze the courtyard, and then use absolute violence to obtain the de facto control of the Shandong Army, and he Liu Quan and Li Xin would not be able to see the sun today.

Although Yao Wenchang coveted the position of the Shandong General Army, he was not the kind of person who could risk his life, and wanted to pull Li Xin as the banner, but he didn't expect that Li Xin was not a role to fiddle with, but let people take advantage of it.

Liu Quan, who was in a state of turmoil, suddenly thought of Liu Zeqing's various deeds and blessings during his reign, and couldn't help but think of Liu Zeqing's good comes, and glanced at Li Xin again with remorse......
