Chapter 161: Attacking the Heart

The guards beside him naturally knew Qu Duan's temper, and they didn't wait for him to give orders, hundreds of people rushed forward like wolves and tigers, and pressed the forbidden soldiers who had just moved to the ground.

When Qu Duan gave an order, they punished each according to the severity of the forbidden army's action just now. Hundreds of military sticks flew up and down, but the beaten military sticks were all the elite of the Western Army, extremely hard, except for a few people who occasionally endured the pain and snorted, most of the soldiers of the forbidden army who were beaten were silent, only the military sticks slapped the meat, and the sound was muffled and shook the long street.

After the beating of the military stick, Qu Duan's face was full of joy, his red face was full of joy, watching the punished soldiers of the forbidden army get up one by one, Qu Duan laughed and said: "Yes, look at your bird-like, you can be regarded as an elite soldier, although you have violated military law, you are not cowardice." ”

He touched his chin, as if he still had something to say, but suddenly he was excited again, and waved his hand: "Go, go to the battlefield and fight hard, don't embarrass our Western Army." ”

Among the forbidden soldiers who were beaten by him, many of them were originally subordinates of Qu Duan of the Jingyuan Army, although they were beaten, they didn't have much to say about violating military discipline, so they immediately raised their voices and said violently: "Yes, never disgrace the general!" ”

Qu Duan once ascended the altar to worship the general, was named a general, when the ceremony was completed, more than 100,000 soldiers of the Western Army cheered together, at this time, it can still be seen that Qu Duan's prestige was high that day.

Qu Duan's heart was also moved, but he waved his hand again and again, and the guards under his command let go of these forbidden soldiers who had violated military law, and drove away the idlers who were watching the excitement, only dozens of Mongolians, who stayed in the field and waited for the arrival.

Everyone knew the origin of this group of Mongols, and the originally capable and ruthless guards were all looking at each other at this time. Don't know how to proceed with the action.

Qu Duan was not embarrassed, and when he saw that his subordinates were standing still, he shouted: "Fighting in the street, violating military law, although it is His Majesty's guard." How can you be forgiven? Come, slap the same! ”

"Yes!" When the guards got the order, they naturally no longer hesitated, and immediately stepped forward to knock down the Mongols, although the Mongols resisted, but with one enemy ten, dozens against hundreds, where is there still a chance to turn their faces. Three or two were pressed to the ground, the military stick flipped over, everyone first scolded in Mongolian, and when the beating was fierce, they gritted their teeth and endured the pain, and stopped making a sound.

It's in chaos. However, a large group of Mongolian cavalry arrived, and when they saw that their comrades were being reprimanded, many Mongolian cavalry immediately shouted and cursed, and many of them brandished swords and guns. Shouting and scolding at the forbidden army who was being executed, seeing all the Mongols like this, the rest of the forbidden soldiers immediately unsheathed their swords and guns, lined up in battle formations and put them on strict guard, and for a moment there was a smell of nervousness in the air. Originally, there were still a lot of people who watched the excitement, but when they saw that the situation was not right, they immediately slipped away. Many people began to close their doors, and along the street, ping-pong rang out.

Zhao Huan's face was pale, he slapped the chopsticks in his hand on the table, and was about to get up, when he saw Hele and other Mongolian hundred households come forward, and saluted Qu Duan, knowing that these hundred households have been following him, and Qu Duan is also familiar with each other, thinking that Qu Duan will also sell the other party's face, and let the tortured Mongolian cavalry go.

Unexpectedly, although Hele and the others were kind to discuss, Qu Duan just didn't follow, until the Mongolian soldiers were executed, and blood was dripping on their buttocks, so they were released and handed over to Hele and others.

Hele and the others all sneered, and after arranging the siblings, they did not say goodbye to Qu Duan, and everyone turned around and left, this conflict was actually just enough, but Qu Duan ignored the Mongols who were equivalent to the identity of the emperor's private slave soldiers, and beat them bitterly, which really hurt the face of these Mongolian cavalry, and taught everyone to be angry and hateful, since the other party does not give face, of course, there is no need to give face to this idle general, everyone pats their butts and turns around, as for what happens in the future, it is naturally all kinds of bad tricks. We must find today's field.

Seeing the Mongols behaving like this, Qu Duan didn't care, and praised his subordinates for a long time, and then waved them to disperse, leaving only a few servants around him, looking around, and seeing the restaurant where Zhao Huan was, he actually came straight to it.

Zhao Huan was extremely unhappy in his heart, he didn't want to meet this person, but unfortunately Qu Duan went straight to the door, and he couldn't dodge it, so he had to teach someone to close the door of his private room, and prepare to wait for Qu Duan to sit down, and then find an opportunity to slip away.

Poor Qu Duan knew that the emperor was here, today he was in the limelight: when the street beat the butts of hundreds of people, with his identity as the deputy envoy of Hedong Road, it was just the right fit, when he climbed the building, on one side was the wooden ladder banging, on the other hand, the staff around him flattered and touted, and Qu Duan was blown to the ground like the reincarnation of Bao Gong and the rebirth of Wu Qi.

Qu Duan ignored it at first, and later, seeing that everyone couldn't speak, he also knew that he was losing power now, and he couldn't keep real talents around him, so these current staff members are just ordinary qualifications, and they are just drinking and hunting in their spare time, playing and relieving boredom, listening to their nonsense, Qu Duan first sat down with a big horse golden knife, and then Fang Kaiyan said: "Don't you masters, although I am full of majesty today, but I also have a lot of misfortunes, so boring and boasting, I Qu treats people sincerely, but you treat me like this?" ”

Everyone around him was ashamed, and an old Chengqing guest said first: "As the deputy envoy of the general strategy, he dealt with the forbidden army that violated the military law, and he was originally in line with his identity. It's just that now His Majesty has changed his course and set up military judges in various armies, and the deputy envoy of the Economic Strategy can't control the forbidden army, and after the accident, many military judges have already arrived, and the general has indeed offended many people regardless of the unauthorized disposal. ”

Qu Duan snorted and replied: "You still refuse to tell the truth, deal with my forbidden soldiers, and offend people to a limited extent, at most I say that Qu Duan is still old-tempered and arrogant." But just dealt with those Mongols, and the disaster was not small. ”

He said that everyone naturally understood, but they understood and understood, but they were suffering from no way. The Mongol cavalry was less than 300 people, and it was the companion of the emperor that Hebul Khan sent to him, escorting the emperor all the way from the north to Guanshan, from the ice and snow to the grassland, and then across the desert to the Han land.

Qu Duan himself also understood very well, sighed at the moment, and said with a wry smile: "Today, I took people to the outside of the city to practice riding, I never thought that I would encounter this incident as soon as I came back, Your Majesty has never liked me, and as soon as this incident comes out, I am afraid that I will be reprimanded again." That's it, it's not important, but it's a pity that your majesty doesn't have the time to listen to me. ”

Speaking of this, his voice was already extremely low, although he couldn't hear it clearly, the meaning of unwillingness and depression in the meaning of the words was about to come out.

Zhao Huan listened to it on the side, he was already very displeased, at this time, he heard Qu Duan's words, as if he was extremely dissatisfied with himself, he was furious at the moment, stood up and pushed open the door, Qu Duan and the others were next door, Zhao Huan pushed the door in, and laughed loudly: "General Qu Duan is so majestic and murderous today, but he can hear the meaning of the words, as if he is very dissatisfied with me?" ”

He pushed the door in, Qu Duan sat on the opposite door, Guang Si saw the truth, Huo Ran had already gotten up, and the rest of the guests did not know Zhao Huan's identity, and when they heard Zhao Huan's words: "I" in the words, only to know that the person who came turned out to be the emperor, and they were all scared at the moment, like a clay tire and wood plastic.

Zhao Huan didn't care about others, sat down by himself, and said to Qu Duan: "I won't let you lead the army, according to your talents, it shouldn't have been like this, you have some grievances, and you should be there." ”

Qu Duan heard him talk about this, but he didn't deny it, and replied in a loud voice at the moment: "The minister thinks to himself, with the talent of the minister, he is not under Yue Fei, he has led an army of 100,000, but the minister can't?" Therefore, he was not convinced by His Majesty's decision, and the minister never concealed it. ”

"Hmm." Zhao Huan nodded, the other party was so honest, he was surprised at first, and then delighted. At the moment, he said: "In this matter, I originally wanted to give you a little frustration and make your temper change slightly."

You are a general, but you can't be handsome? Why? You don't have the capacity to tolerate people, you are too rigid, you have a set of rules for governing the army, and you are governing soldiers, not generals. The generals of the Western Army, there are not many people who are convinced of you, and there are not many who can be commanded by you like an arm, and even more so if you don't change your temper, even if you give you an army of 100,000, can you command so many sergeants alone? What a joke! ”

These words were said in a cold sweat, and he couldn't say a word at the moment. Although Zhao Huan said not much, it pointed to his biggest problem, that is, he thinks too highly of himself, he is arrogant, although he treats his subordinates thickly, he treats generals at all levels harshly, and although the result is not angry and resentful, no one is attached to him. As a result, when Zhang Jun was in charge of Guanshan, Qu Duan had a very high prestige among the soldiers of the army, but because he had no assistance among the generals, he was easily deprived of military power by Zhang Jun. The lessons of the previous car are still there, Zhao Huan's analysis is precise and accurate, and the curved end is naturally convincing, and it is impossible to distinguish at all.

Seeing that Qu Duan Nuo was silent, Zhao Huan was proud in his heart, and his analysis and reprimand of Qu Duan was considered to have been planned for a long time, and Zhao Huan was very appreciative of Qu Duan's talent and skill in governing the army, but unfortunately the flaws in his personality were too obvious, and he was too rigid, if he was like Yue Fei while reusing it, he was afraid that this person would be arrogant and not take his words to heart, so he deliberately stripped him of his military power and delegated it to Hedong, so that he could familiarize himself with the terrain first, so that he could be used for future transformation. At this time, looking at Qu Duan's expression, he was already quite convinced, and according to Fei Lun's intelligence, after Qu Duan came to Hedong, he did not slack off, explored the terrain, trained the soldiers and horses under his command, and even quietly sneaked into the Taihang Mountains to contact with the local righteous soldiers.

It's just that when he thought of the right talent, Zhao Huan was angry, looked at Qu Duan, and asked with a wrong nose and eyes: "There is another one, you still need to see the master to beat the dog, the Mongolian cavalry is loyal to the master, you know that they are my house slaves, and you are so insulted, you are arrogant, and you are so competitive!" ”
