Lin Chengfei launched an attack on the Wei army, and then took advantage of the victory to pursue, wanting to take Nanyang Pass in one fell swoop, this can be said to be Lin Chengfei's very rare risky strategy, if it were not for the rebellion in the capital of Yan Guozhong, he might still stick to Longshan, and would never rashly transfer a large number of Zhennan troops to guard against the Yan army.

However, he never thought that he would be able to capture Nanyang County if he held on for a few more days, but a holy decree issued by Jingzhong quickly whipped him to stop the attack.

Moreover, this stop was that the second decree was not seen for more than half a month, and the prison army sent by the emperor himself from the capital was constantly monitoring Lin Chengfei's movements.

Lin Chengfei knew that the prison army sent was a member of the Hou Party, and he also guessed that the emperor's will was likely to be instigated by the Hou Party.

Lin Chengfei knew a reality, on the side of the Houdang in the capital, I am afraid that he knew the news that Shang Zhongli was not in the camp, otherwise the people in the Houdang must know that this will was sent here, but it was just a piece of waste paper.

If Shang Zhongli was still here, it would never be possible that he would stop the attack because of a holy decree when the victory was already decided, and Shang Zhongli would definitely reply, "The king's life will not be affected outside!" ”

But Lin Chengfei is not Shang Zhongli.

Shang Zhongli can resist only, he Lin Chengfei can't, and no one dares to touch him after Shang Zhongli resists the decree, but as long as he Lin Chengfei resists the decree, he will soon be seized by the Hou Party and slandered, and the result is likely to be dismissed from office, and it may even be engaged in military law.

Because Shang Zhongli's prestige in Qing** is by no means something that he Lin Chengfei can replace.

The Qing ** side is not monolithic, there are also many factions in it, the northern generals are one faction, the southern generals are another, and even the northwest generals have their own factions.

The contradictions of these major factions are deeply hidden only because of the existence of Shang Zhongli.

Most of the soldiers are fiery temperaments, and no one will obey anyone, if it weren't for Shang Zhongli's prestige and ability to suppress these fiery temperaments, the contradictions would have spread long ago.

Shang Zhongli can be suppressed, but he Lin Chengfei may not be able to suppress it.

Although Shang Zhongli has expressed his intention of Lin Chengfei to take over as the general of Qingguo several times, Lin Chengfei is not the only candidate in terms of prestige and military exploits.

The three beast generals are famous, but the contradiction between the three beast generals themselves is clear to many people.

Yuan Mu of the Northwest Army has a fiery temperament, and under the command of Shang Zhongli, he is the one with the most military achievements, it is said that Yuan Mu has thirteen scars on his body, and he is a fierce general who crawled out of the pile of dead people.

Lin Cheng was cautious in flying, and he was often ridiculed by Yuan Mu.

As soon as Shang Zhongli died, Qingguo had actually fallen into internal and external difficulties, although Lin Chengfei had the heart to do a lot of work, and he also had a strong enough Zhennan border army in his hands, but like Shang Zhongli, he also had a loyal heart, at this moment, he did not dare to act rashly, otherwise he would be accused of supporting the army and self-respecting and attempting to rebel, which he could not accept.

Lin Chengfei now not only has to consider the possible re-launch of the Yan State in the future, but also has to face the turmoil that may occur at any time in the country.

Once the news of Shang Zhongli's death spreads, Qingguo will inevitably fall into a state of chaos.

There are many generals of Lin Chengfei's descendants in the army south of the town who knew that the holy general had left the camp, but Lin Chengfei did not disclose the news of his death to them, and even the news of Shang Zhongli's absence in the camp was ordered not to be leaked by his subordinates.

But he really didn't know why the Hou Party would know that Shang Zhongli was not in the camp?

When Lin Chengfei was extremely depressed, an even worse news suddenly came, the Northwest Cavalry who went to Yanjing to quell the rebellion had returned to Linyang Pass under the leadership of Han Mo.

……

Returning to the northwest from Yanjing, it is not like entering Beijing to quell the rebellion, it is a day and night journey, this time the return, the speed is much slower, one of the most important reasons is that there is an extra imperial historian Jiang Siyuan in the team who takes a carriage.

Encamped, Han Mo's wind rider was naturally stationed in the original station last time.

Jiang Siyuan was also the Lord Qincha who came by order, and Han Mo ordered a large camp for him, and the fifty strong warriors around him were camped around.

After settling down, Han Mo immediately summoned officials from Linyang Pass, including those above the rank of captain, to the camp to hold a military meeting.

The senior generals of Linyang Pass, except for a very small number of generals such as Ling Yun, almost all followed Han Mo into Beijing to quell the rebellion, and almost all of them felt good about Han Mo, and dozens of generals gathered in the camp of the marshal.

The counterinsurgency in Beijing was successful, and almost all the generals who returned from Beijing were rewarded, Qin Luo and Wang Siyu were both named military envoys at the same time, and a large amount of silver money was rewarded, and other generals also had their own rewards, and this time the counterinsurgency was fought heartily, and the generals who participated in the counterinsurgency were naturally full of spring breeze.

The few generals who stayed at Linyang Pass looked a little uncomfortable when they missed the battle.

Han Mo saw it in his eyes and said with a smile: "Everyone, this time the chaos in Beijing was quelled, and the traitors were all wiped out in one fell swoop, and the generals who entered Beijing naturally contributed a lot, but the generals who stayed at the border let us have no worries, and that is also a great credit." The general has already asked the imperial court to reward you! "When he ordered Qin Luo to take out the list of rewards, he reported them one by one, and none of the generals present were left behind, although not everyone had the title of Martial Lord, but the bounty was inevitable.

"This is the list that General Han personally submitted to the Ministry of War." Wang Siyu said calmly: "It is also General Han who personally fights for you. ”

All the generals immediately bowed their hands and said, "Thank you, General Han." ”

Han Mo smiled and nodded, and then asked, "Has everyone arrived?" Just now, the king commanded the envoy to give a reward, and it seems that a few people did not come out! ”

Ling Yun had already stepped forward and arched his hand: "Back to General Han's words, the last general is having something to report!" ”

He paused before he said solemnly: "After the general led the troops back to Beijing, there were some riots here......!" ”

"Riots?" Han Mo frowned, he glanced at the generals, and saw that the generals who followed him back to Beijing were all looking at each other, and the few generals who stayed behind had serious expressions one by one.

"There's a bunch of rumors ......!" Ling Yun looked at Han Mo, groaned slightly, and finally said: "They claimed that General Han was usurping military power with bad intentions, and they even gathered hundreds of people to start a riot and confuse the army's heart. Even if the last general sent someone to arrest them, they are now all imprisoned, but because he was worried that the matter would be reported to General Han and it would affect the general's peace, he pressed it down, and did not report it in time, and asked General Han to punish him! After speaking, he knelt down on one knee in front of Han Mo.

Han Mo hurriedly stepped forward, helped him up with both hands, and said with a straight face: "Commander Ling handled it properly, not only can he not punish the crime, but he also needs to be rewarded!" Then his expression turned cold, "Who are the people who spread rumors to confuse the public?" ”

"Back to the general's words, these people are all from the Su family's land. At the head was a partial general of the Su family, who gathered a group of people to spread rumors. Ling Yun replied.

Han Mo smiled coldly.

Before Xiao Huaiyu served as the general of the Northwest, the generals in the Northwest Army were all over the children of the family, many of them were mediocre and incompetent, after Xiao Huaiyu took office, everyone rectified, selected generals by talent, a large number of children of the family were deprived of their military positions, even if they were the children of the Xiao family, Xiao Huaiyu was ruthless, after nearly a few years of rectification, the generals in the Northwest Army were almost eliminated, and there were few left, but they were also some talented generals.

Now the family with the most children serving in the Northwest Army is the children of the Hu family, but most of them are just ordinary soldiers, and those who have military positions are just some small colonels and captains.

This is because the combat effectiveness of the Hu family's children is indeed not weak, so Xiao Huaiyu retained some of it.

Xiao Huaiyu's purpose is also very simple, one is to eliminate the influence of the family's forces in the Northwest Army, and the other is to give a clear signal to all the Northwest soldiers that the Northwest Army is not the world of the family, as long as they have merit, regardless of their background, they can be promoted, and none of the six general soldiers are children of the family, such an example makes the officers and soldiers of the entire Northwest Army have a motivated heart.

The person who made this commotion was led by a son of the Su family, quite capable, serving as a lieutenant, learning that the Su family was rebelling in Beijing and wanted to help, but his military rank was extremely low, so he could only lead a group of soldiers who came out of the Su family to join the army to spread rumors, but unfortunately he was weak and couldn't afford to make a big fight, and was quickly extinguished by Ling Yun.

From this incident, Han Mo already knew that after Xiao Huaiyu's rectification, the family power of the Northwest Army was really weak.

And this is exactly what Han Mo needs.

"The Su family rebelled, and these people responded here, it's not a strange thing." Han Mo smiled coldly: "The biography will be fatal, and the people who participated in this riot are all engaged in military law!" ”

All the generals were stunned, and Ling Yun had already bowed his hand and said, "Obey!" ”

Han Mo knew very well the truth that Ci was not in charge of the army, he was looking for something to stand up, but he didn't expect that the Su family henchmen would actually hit the muzzle of the gun, and this shot would naturally be fired.

"The general governs the army strictly, and the world knows it." Han Mo's gaze swept over the generals: "The military law set by the general is also remembered by the general. Gathering crowds to riot, spreading rumors, and disturbing the morale of the army should be punished...... Commander Ling, Ben is not mistaken, right? ”

"Exactly!"

Han Mo nodded, turned around and walked to the chair and sat down, he was extremely young, and almost all the generals present were older than him, but the mature and cold aura exuded from his body made people all feel awe-inspired.

Xiao Huaiyu became famous at a young age, and no one dared to underestimate this young general.

"The general handed over the talisman to the general, and the general had no excuse." Han Mo said calmly: "The general knows, you all want to know the whereabouts of the great general now. But Ben will only say that when the day comes, Ben will tell everyone the truth, but it is not possible yet. Now that Wei and Qing are contending, the situation at the border of Dayan is grim, and there can be no relaxation, and the general can only follow the order of the general and temporarily exercise the power of the general. Han Mo is young and inexperienced, and he is ordered to be in danger, and he does not dare to say goodbye, and you are all Han Mo's predecessors and brothers, if you want to guard the border pass of Dayan and protect the people of our Dayan land, you need strong men to work together, Han Mo only hopes that you can help the general when Han Mo acts as the general. With sharp eyes, he paused before continuing: "If you have any dissatisfied, you can stand up now, if everyone thinks that Han Mo can't take on this responsibility, Han Mo will immediately hand over the talisman." ”

There was silence in the tent for a while.

It is undeniable that Han Mo's qualifications and prestige are really shallow in the Northwest Army, if it weren't for the talisman in his hand and Xiao Huaiyu's entrustment, he would never have the capital to kill Wu Tianshao that day.

Letting this battle-hardened general in the northwest obey the orders of a young man with no experience in border passes, from the bottom of his heart, many people are still quite difficult to accept.

After a period of silence, Wang Siyu finally took a step forward and said slowly: "Dashuai was also a young man back then, and he made great achievements. Since the marshal temporarily handed over the Northwest Army to General Han, then he has his own reason for being marshal, and the last general Wang Siyu is willing to obey General Han's dispatch! ”

After Wang Siyu finished speaking, Qin Luo and Ling Yun stepped forward at the same time and knelt down on one knee: "The last general is willing to obey General Han's order!" ”

At this time, in the Northwest Army of Linyang Pass, these three people are the highest generals, and the three of them are called to obey the order, where do the others dare to say more, there is a loud uproar, all the generals knelt down on one knee, and said in unison: "The last general is willing to obey General Han's dispatch!" ”

Han Mo got up and hugged his fists and said, "In this case, I will need more help from you in the future." He quickly said in a deep voice: "The general will keep in mind the words of the general and try his best to guard the border with you, but ...... If anyone disturbs the morale of the army and violates military law, he will be merciless! ”
