Chapter 30: Military Infighting, Crisis
"Li Zhan!" Because he was defenseless, Tang Ning was suddenly pushed to the ground by Li Zhan.
Tang Ning looked at his hands and Li Zhan in disbelief, not understanding why Li Zhan lost his temper, nor why Li Zhan wanted to retreat from him.
"Tangning, you're my man." Li Zhan looked at Tang Ning, with a hint of fierceness in his eyes.
"Are you crazy, let me see your injuries first." Li Zhan's unpredictable mood made Tang Ning unable to react. But what she is concerned about now is Li Zhan's injury.
was kicked by Tang Ning, Yu Chixue lay on the ground and struggled for a long time before getting up. She got up and watched the blood on Li Zhan's body gushing out frantically, so she lay on the ground with weak hands and feet and couldn't stand up. In contrast, Downing was very calm.
The blood did not panic Tang Ning, on the contrary, she was calmer than anyone else.
Tang Ning took the medicine powder to stop bleeding from his clothes, sprinkled half of it on Li Zhan's chest, tore off a few strips of cloth from his clothes, and gave Li Zhan a simple treatment.
Li Zhan suffered from three wounds on his upper body, one on his chest, one under his ribs, and the other on his back. In addition to these three bloody flesh blurs, there were other injuries on the body, all of which were bloody.
"Now there is a bit of trouble on the school ground, and it seems that the prince has to go over." When Tang Ning did a simple bandage for Li Zhan, Ouyang Xu, who had just disappeared for a while, appeared with a suit of clothes.
"However...... although the wound was better medicated than bandaged, a lot of blood seeped out through the placket, so in this case, it was not suitable for walking at all.
As an agent, such a scene was nothing in Tangning's eyes, and many of his companions had their intestines pierced out, and they could wrap up a piece of cloth and immediately enter the battle. But as a healer, the situation is ......
"Change my clothes!" Li Zhan frowned and raised his arm, and said in a very firm voice.
In the process of Tang Ning's medicine, the tattered armor stained red by blood had been taken off, and Li Zhan was already ****.
Although Li Zhan didn't name him, Tang Ning also knew that Li Zhan was letting him dress him.
Although he didn't like to do the things of a small man, looking at Li Zhan's iron-clad appearance, Tang Ning couldn't help but serve Li Zhan and dress.
Although Li Zhan is a powerful person, he has a very high-level temperament. Every action he makes, every word he says, makes people feel the urge to surrender. It seems that even if this person wants to inflict pain on others, others can only accept it without resistance.
The body is superior to the brain response, and by the time Tang Ning realized what she was doing, she had already dressed Li Zhan. Looking at the soft armor that Ouyang Xun held again, Tang Ning's hand paused slightly, and put it on for Li Zhan.
"Now, you're just my bodyguard. Come with me to school right away. Li Zhan stretched out his hand to help Tang Ning's clothes and motioned for her to come with him.
"Good!" Thinking of the previous agreement between the two people, Tang Ning lowered his eyes and immediately followed Li Zhan.
"Song Shu, immediately bring a few people to restore this place to its original state." Li Zhan stood up and walked to the school field, walked to Song Shu, who was a hundred meters away with a pair of men and horses on guard, and said in a commanding tone.
"Yes!" Song Shu gave a military salute, left a few people to guard around, and immediately took the other half of the people to fill the pit.
Ouyang Xun looked at the person who completely ignored him, shaking the brocade fan in his hand, and looked like he didn't care about anything.
"Let's go over and have some fun." Ouyang Xun elegantly stretched out his hand towards Yu Chixue, who was still sitting on the ground.
Wei Chixue's whole body trembled when she first saw Li Zhan's injury, and then she looked at the tacit understanding between him and Tang Ning, and felt aggrieved and uncomfortable. Now seeing a stranger stretching out his hand towards him, he dodged his hand very awkwardly, got up from the ground all of a sudden, patted his body on the soil, and chased Li Zhan.
Ouyang Xun stood in place, looking at his ignored hand, and once again sighed that his charm was not as good as before.
On the school ground, it was not a trivial matter at all as Ouyang Xun said, two quarters of an hour after Li Zhan disappeared, the people of the two teams who were already incompatible had already begun to fight, and many people on both sides had already hung up their lottery.
The Northwest Army was divided into two armies, the Western Army was mainly local clans and tribes and people who had lived in the Northwest Region for some years, while the Northern Army was mainly people who came from other parts of the Northern Qi Dynasty to join the army, and the people of the two armies have always been at odds.
When the people of the Wei Chi family held the power of the Northwest Army for generations, the Northern Army has been suppressed. After Li Zhan, a prince who did not grow up in the northwest, became a general, many capable people in the northern army were reused. The Western Army was not satisfied with the Northern Army's share of the privileged opportunities that originally belonged to them, and the Northern Army was not accustomed to the Western Army's arrogance and thought that it was superior. The forces of the two sides are evenly matched, and internal contradictions are intensifying.
"Stop!" Li Zhan watched the endless battle between the western and northern armies, and used internal force to send out two words. Many people present were shocked by his two words, and their whole bodies trembled. But Tang Ning had no inside, standing beside Li Zhan, but he was not affected.
On the contrary, Tang Ning also felt that at the moment of Fang Cai, something suddenly burst out of her body, like armor to protect her heart veins.
Thinking of the thing that suddenly appeared in his body in the forbidden ice room of King Li's Mansion, Tang Ning's eyebrows furrowed.
Her body seems to be hiding some secrets.
Just as Tang Ning followed Li Zhan to the high platform in front of the training camp, several bows and arrows rushed towards the two people.
With Li Zhan's martial arts, even if he was injured, it would not be difficult to dodge those two arrows. To Downing, that's nothing.
However, neither of them hid.
Because Ouyang Xun appeared in white, he used the move of idle flowers to roll the two arrows very elegantly.
However, when the scene quieted down, it was not Ouyang Xun's appearance that was full of style, but his next words.
"I can't imagine that after a few years of cultivation, Rong Di's arrow-making level has improved so quickly, if this arrow has an extra feather at the end, and Rong Di's words are engraved on the arrow, it can almost be fake." Ouyang Xun played with the arrow in his hand when he spoke, and the soldier standing in front of the platform could clearly see the extra feathers on the end of the arrow.
Although soldiers like to fight, they all have blood, and it is okay to fight internally, but they must be consistent with the outside world. Knowing that there were secret agents mixed in the army, the confrontational northern and southern armies began to accuse each other again in silence.
"The arrow feather was sent from the direction of the Western Army, a traitor in the Western Army. For the sake of its own dissatisfaction, the Western Army even colluded with foreign enemies, and its heart could be punished, and everyone should be punished. ”
"It's clearly a crime that the Northern Army wants to add to the crime, you want to get on the throne, and then use this method to plant it. This kind of despicable method is only used by people in the Central Plains. With the heart of a villain, the belly of a gentleman, our Western Army is a good man, if you want to win the Northern Army, do you use such a nasty method. ”
"Hand over the thief, or you will all sit together."
"Is the Northern Army insisting on stirring up trouble, isn't it, what kind of traitor, my Western Army is a good man, how could he do such a dirty thing."
"Assassinating the general in front of everyone, I even want to cover it up!"
Tang Ning looked at the situation in the audience and frowned, she took a closer look, although the scene was a little chaotic, it seemed to be fueled by a force, and there seemed to be a pair of invisible hands provoking it, wanting the two sides to fight.
"Shut up!" Li Zhan roared angrily, and both sides looked at the stage, and when they saw the military order in Li Zhan's hand, they were all shocked.
"The military order is here, no noise is allowed on the school ground, and no hands are allowed. Anyone who violates these two articles shall be dealt with by military order. Now, automatic, out of line! Li Zhan changed his words, and suddenly, a hundred people took out their long whips and stood behind Li Zhan.
"General, I don't accept it, it's obvious that the Western Army wants to assassinate you, and I'm worried about the general's safety." After Li Zhan finished speaking, a fat and strong man stood up from the Northern Army, patted his chest, and said unconvinced.
"Military orders are like mountains, and there is no room for child's play. Add five lashes first, and the king will explain a little. Li Zhan said, with a wave of his hand, a person standing behind him suddenly came out of the ranks, and twenty whips fell on that person like a storm.
Although the number of whips was small, after they fell, they brought a faint blood mist, and the thick armor was beaten to pieces, and a layer of blood oozed from the gray undershirt.
From beginning to end, although it could be seen from the man's face that he was extremely forbearing, he didn't snort from beginning to end.
That man's name is Qiao Yan.
After Qiao Yan came out of the ranks, there were more than 100 northern soldiers who came out without fear, and the western army did not hesitate to come out when they saw the northern army coming out.
Seeing this, the people behind Li Zhan all went down with golden whips in their hands.
For a time, in the school field, the whip sounded.
"Qiao Yan, you are guilty!" After the execution, Li Zhan looked at the man and said with some ferocity.
"The last general is worried about the safety of the general, and he doesn't know what the crime is!" There was a sound on the ground, and the man was full of energy, not at all like a person who had been tortured.
"Gather a crowd to make trouble and take the lead in attacking the Western Army. As a general of the Seventh Rank North Zhonglang, when the general had something to do, he couldn't stand up in time to maintain order in the army, and actually took the lead in making trouble, do you think the Northwest Army is not chaotic enough? If you have real skills, run to the front when you fight with Rong Di, don't stab Lou Zi in the back! ”
Li Zhan was angry when he said this, the person he was targeting with this sentence was naturally not Qiao Yan alone, and many generals couldn't help but feel ashamed when they heard his words. The western and northern armies did not see each other correctly, and now everyone wants to stir up trouble.
Some people stand in high positions and do nothing, and naturally some people want to take their place.
"The Northwest Army is the foundation of my Northern Qi country, the Northwest Army is always there, and my Northern Qi will not be destroyed. The existing Rong Di is menacing, how can you be rash! ”
After looking at the people in the audience who had different reactions, Li Zhan said, "Since the king came, he has been ambushed several times. Presumably, this ambush is the same as the previous times, it is Rong Di who is a ghost, trying to provoke civil strife in our Northwest Army, and the matter of the arrow feather, although the arrow is aimed at the king, but the real point is the Northwest Army! ”
"Rong Di is arrogant, how can the safety of this king be better than the safety of the people in the northwest, and how can the safety of the army and people of the Northern Qi Dynasty. This king leads the military affairs of the northwest as a young man, and I am afraid that many people are not satisfied, and if they are not satisfied, they can be singled out. I am a good man in the Northwest Bureau, how can I have the courage to fight inwardly and be timid to the outside! ”
"That's all for today. The whole army is lined up, and the training continues! ”
As Li Zhan's voice fell, the battered soldiers returned to the team, and the training began to continue.
"King Li really has a set of rules for governing the army." Ouyang Xun stood beside Tang Ning and said in a voice that only two people could hear.
"The army is the important weapon of the country, and it must not be helped." Although Li Zhan's approach was to punish small, it achieved the effect of a serious military order and a punishment of the traitor.
used such a thunderous means to appease the hearts of the army, I have to say, really...... It's amazing.
"It's a pity, I don't know if his body can last until he walks off the school field." Ouyang Xun glanced at Li Zhan and sighed slightly.
At this time, Tang Ning set his eyes on Li Zhan. Downing was close to him, so he could see beads of sweat on his forehead. The increasingly intense blood qi told her that the blood in Li Zhan's chest had not stopped.
Not good!
That was Downing's first reaction.
