Chapter 352: Intrigue and Intrigues
Mi Yan has always been an alternative existence in the field service team, which is of course due to factors such as different backgrounds and temperaments, but to put it bluntly, it is Mi Yan's own inferiority complex that has created his isolated personality, and it is this personality that drives him to instinctively keep a certain distance from everyone.
But this kind of arrogance due to inferiority is not guarded against one person, that is, his only close brother Lu Huizhong in the field service team.
Lu Huizhong and Hong Chengchou had a hot fight, and it was clear that they wanted to attach themselves to him to get the promotion level, but in Mi Yan's eyes, this kind of behavior was tantamount to changing the court and selling himself to seek the Lord, which was not the right way to be promoted, and the two of them had a dispute because of this.
"People go to high places, and water flows to low places, does Elder Brother Yuan want to carry the reputation of a thief and an army for the rest of his life?"
Lu Huizhong has always liked to be excited, in his eyes, after experiencing the bloody battle in Zhangjiakou, his best brother's aura seems to have changed, and it seems to have become strange and distant. When he heard that he pretended to be the chief envoy to kill the Zhangjiakou guards and seize the military power to resist the Mongolian Tartars who wanted to break through, Lu Huizhong could not connect Mi Yan at this time with the down-and-out scholar who was bullied by Zeng Cheng and almost broke his leg.
"The title of the gold list of the scholar's imperial examination, why should you attach someone to take that shortcut!"
Mi Yan responded lightly to Lu Huizhong's eager and excited question. In Lu Huizhong's opinion, this is completely Mi Yan's hypocrisy, to establish a life for the world, if you wait until three years and three years to get fame and then come out to do things, I am afraid it will be too late.
"Elder Brother Yuan's words are fallacious, the eldest husband should first judge the situation, not only to serve the court, but why should he stick to the world's eyes?"
Lu Huizhong is not the kind of person who is bent on climbing up, but he also understands a truth, if you want to make a difference, you must have power in your hands, so he thinks that after getting Hong Chengchou's appreciation, it is a golden opportunity.
Mi Yan still looked unhurried, and stabbed directly at Lu Huizhong's sore spot.
"What about the sins you and I have committed?"
Being exiled for perjury has always been an unhealable wound in the Lu Hui Center, and this stain is like a mountain, weighing him down all the time. Lu Huizhong is so anxious, which is one of the reasons. He suddenly erupted, "You are innocent and light, so why do you have to fight with a group of thieves all day long?" You and my brother are still different in the end, so let's say goodbye today! ”
At this point, Lu Huizhong left Mi Yan and brushed his sleeves away. After going back, he immediately took action, and the first one was to find Zhao Baisheng, who participated in the bloody battle of Zhangjiakou with Mi Yan, who was the core person who was most qualified to represent the field service team in the bloody battle of Zhangjiakou in addition to Mi Yan, so it was very important to win him over.
Zhao Baisheng and Mi Yan's inferiority complex personality is different from Lu Huizhong, who is eager for quick success. But there are also a lot of similarities with Lu Huizhong, such as their uninhibited nature, which is of course closely related to their origins and family conditions, so compared with Mi Yan, Zhao Baisheng and Lu Huizhong talk more.
Under Lu Huizhong's powerful analysis, Zhao Baisheng was finally persuaded and stood on his side. As a result, the AFS once again isolated Miyan, but unlike before, this time because this person stood in their way.
The Field Service Team's actions in Xuanfu became more and more high-profile, sweeping away its previous low status in the Three Guards, and thus gradually drifting away from the Three Guards. Due to the military order and mission, before the army of Xuanfu did not restore its combat effectiveness, Cheng Mingjiu, as the chief general of several large infantry battalions, naturally restrained his subordinates to deploy defense in Xuanfu. And Lu Jiu and Zhang Shi, who were in charge of supervising the field service team before, were very dissatisfied with the behavior of those scholars getting closer and closer to the governor of Xuanda, but they couldn't do anything about it, after all, this was not the territory of the Three Guards, and many things were not their turn to speak.
Moreover, Cheng Mingjiu, Lu Jiu and the others quickly smelled a trace of unusual smell. First of all, Hong Chengchou announced the rewards of the imperial court to the generals of the Three Guards in the name of the governor of Xuanda, and there was no mention of Li Xin. The generals of the Three Guards Army led by Cheng Mingjiu directly refused to accept the reward from the Governor of Xuanda.
Immediately afterwards, the second and fifth infantry battalions, as well as the troops of Lu Jiu and Zhang Shishi, received military orders to transfer Huai'anwei, Wanquan Right Guard, and Longmen Guard respectively, and this military order was issued in the name of Governor Xuanda.
According to common sense, the Three Guards Army is a guest army, and it can be promoted by the commander in front of the battle in wartime, but after the end of the war, they are still under their own control, and the Xuanfu has no right to carry out positions and positions such as rewards and deployments for the guest army in addition to the obligation to supply the food of the guest army.
The men and horses of each battalion were scattered around the Xuanfu, leaving only the first battle camp led by Cheng Mingjiu, which obviously meant divide and rule, what was the idea of Hong Chengchou, and the battalion officers and generals of the Three Guards Army were full of doubts in their hearts.
It's just that Hong Chengchou's official is too big, and as the governor of Xuanda and the title of secretary of the military department, this status is even regarded by their generals, the general of Shanxi, do they listen to such a strong and arrogant military order?
This set off a lot of waves within the Three Guards Army who stayed in Xuanfu, most of the people led by Lu Jiu and Zhang Shi resolutely resisted Hong Chengchou's military order, and only a small number of them proposed to calm things and wait and see what happened, after all, the arms can't twist the thighs, and the Three Guards are also the pawns of the Ming Dynasty no matter how tough they are, is it crazy to dare to go against the governor?
"The general didn't say that we were not allowed to listen to the dispatch of the surnamed Hong, what if this guy turned his face and acted roughly?" The speaker was the battalion officer of the Sixth Battalion.
"Chen Qianzhong, do you want to change the court? If you want to vote for the one surnamed Hong, you have to ask Lao Tzu first if this knife agrees. The battalion officer of the fifth-step battalion made another threat, and the two of them were both battalion officers of the infantry battalion adapted from the rogue, but their thoughts were diametrically opposed.
This idea was finally suppressed by the powerful Lu Jiu and Zhang Shi, and replied to the governor of Xuanda very strongly, they were only subordinate to Li Xin, the chief soldier of Shanxi Town, if you want to transfer them, unless there is a military order from Li Xin's own handwriting, don't think about it.
The toughness of the Three Guards was unexpected by Hong Chengchou, but soon someone on the side came up with ideas for him, and the tiger hounds were born unruly, untamed and disobedient, as long as they used some means not to worry about their disobedience. So, on an occasion where the governor of Xuanda personally hosted a banquet and hospitality, Cheng Mingjiu, the chief general of the three guard battalions, was drunk and molested the female relatives in the governor's mansion, and was arrested and imprisoned by the governor's own soldiers.
Immediately afterwards, all battalions of the Three Guards began to have a situation where the supply of military rations could not be supplied. However, after all, the Three Guards Army is an unusual army, and Cheng Mingjiu's prestige and qualifications are not too old in the army, and it is only because of his steady, resourceful and modest personality that he was entrusted with important tasks by Li Xin. After he was arrested, the Three Guards did not appear to be leaderless.
The battalion officers immediately elected Lu Jiu to replace Cheng Mingjiu as the chief general in the army. At this moment, there are already people clamoring to go out of Xuanfu and return to Taiyuan. But after all, there was an order from the general in front of him, and a military order from the imperial court in the back, if he left the Xuanfu without authorization, I am afraid that it would give someone with a heart to frame Li Xin. So, the situation they are facing now is to go or not, and not to go.
In this tense atmosphere, Lu Huizhong and the students of the field service team began to lobby and persuade the battalion officers of the battalions of the Three Guards Army to be transferred to their posts.
At the end of the day, they also made a lot of gains, and the two battalion officers who had not opposed it fiercely before actually agreed. With a strong sense of achievement, Lu Huizhong decided that he would personally persuade Lu Jiu, the most difficult bone to gnaw, if this person was taken down, then the persuasion of the other generals of the Three Guards Army would be a matter of course.
Lu Huizhong was very uncomfortable with Lu Jiu's eyes, although this person had disdained him before, but he was not as uncomfortable as he is now. He clearly read the taste of a traitor from Lu Jiu's cold gaze, but he had his own reasons, he didn't owe anything to the Three Guards, nor did he belong to Li Xin, and even he was the target of the Three Guards' persecution, so he had no obligation to end up with anyone.
Compared with Li Xin's vulgar martial arts, Hong Chengchou has too many shining points, he was born as a jinshi, commanded the army as a local civil official, killed thieves, and repeatedly made meritorious contributions and became an important minister in the court.
In the eyes of Hong Butang, I am afraid that a general soldier is not far behind a bedbug, even if he swallows Li Xin's subordinates, what can he do? You can't lead the troops to attack Xuanda, right?
"I hope that General Lu will judge the situation and not follow in the footsteps of Cheng Mingjiu, the military general who rapes a woman will be executed according to military law, the reason why Hong Butang's subordinates are merciful is to see the face of your meritorious society, but don't isolate yourself from the court, from the ......"
For these vulgar martial artists, sometimes he has to be tougher, such as the previous two battalion officers, good words and persuasion had no effect, and when he lost patience and intimidated them, these people relented, so he decided that stubborn people like Lu Jiu could not be persuaded by soft words.
Only by bringing it to its knees with a strong deterrent and succumbing to an irreversible reality. After the Shaanxi soldiers of Hongbutang were reassembled and trained, although they did not come out of the shadow of defeat, they firmly controlled the major gates of Xuanfu, and the three guards were the turtles in the urn in the city, and the military rations depended on the supply of Xuanfu.
Lu Jiu interrupted him coldly.
"What benefits did the man surnamed Hong promise you, running so hard for him?"
"This ......"
Lu Huizhong was asked for a while, what benefits did Hong Chengchou promise him? These words made him unacceptable, but unexpectedly, Lu Jiu suddenly smiled and said: "As long as you answer Lu Jiu's question truthfully, what matter if Lu Jiu agrees to you!" ”
