Part 4 Chapter 44 Exercises of the Wind Festival
Standing on the city tower, looking coldly at the carriages and horses of Su Ling and his party, there were only a few small black dots left, and in the eyes of Feng Jinjie, I didn't know whether to ridicule or sigh.
Danger is indeed the best weapon to test human nature, and human cowardice, selfishness, despicability, and hypocrisy are all exposed in the face of disaster.
In the same way, in order to shirk his responsibilities for the sake of his own safety and to shirk his responsibilities, in front of Su Ling, he tried his best to exaggerate the cruelty and horror of the war, in the same way, in order to shirk his responsibilities and protect himself, he would turn all this he heard into his own witnesses, and multiply it several times, and then explain it to the officials above.
Maybe others won't fully trust Lu Donglian's brother-in-law, but even if he asks other entourages to inquire, everyone will agree with Su Ling, and he will become his best witness. In addition, the rumors that Chen Guo's army will fight have never stopped, and now that the fight is really fighting, it doesn't feel too sudden. In this case, it is impossible to believe people. What kind of choices will those officials make for the sake of their own safety and for their own lack of responsibility?
Feng Jinjie smiled as cold as frost, once the city was broken, the thousands of miles of fertile land in the rear fell under the enemy's iron cavalry, and it was their own jurisdiction.
What's more, the court investigated why the Dingyuan Pass was broken, of course, because the commander was not there and there was no owner in the army. Why is the commander not there, for the sake of insufficient military supplies, he ran to kidnap the governor, why is there not enough military supplies in Dingyuan Pass......
The wind was smiling with a smile on his face. There is a cold look in the eyes, this skin is pulled up, I am afraid that no one will want to be clean.
A somewhat hesitant question came from beside him: "General, can we do this?" ”
"Yes, is this too much trouble, will it be reported to the emperor, will we commit the crime of defrauding the king."
Feng Jinjie casually glanced at Wang Dabao and Xiaodao beside him: "What are we doing?" What crime have you committed against deceit? We just organized a mock siege by Chen's army, and the army was caught off guard. Combat maneuvers with heavy losses. This is also part of our military training. In order to allow the soldiers to enter the battle in the best condition under any circumstances, in order to allow everyone to continue to maintain their confidence and fighting spirit in the face of losses and injuries, and to let the army face a surprise attack. It's all necessary to be able to respond calmly. ”
Wang Dabao and Xiaodao looked at each other in amazement, and they couldn't speak for a while. Indeed, although Feng Jinjie wants to save Lu Dongliang, he is not stupid enough to let the whole army accompany him to act and deceive people.
Whether all the soldiers are willing to match you is still a question, and besides, this person is too talkative, and whoever leaks a word in the future will be a shocking crime.
He just gathered the army and did a simulation. As far as he is concerned, he certainly understands that in order to cultivate the ability of the army in all aspects, especially the ability to adapt to the situation in battle and the strong psychological quality on the battlefield. This exercise is necessary. Before, he was only a minor general with limited powers. It was not possible to engage in any major exercises, and then Lu Dongli took power. On military issues, he was obedient to his words, and the whole army had rehearsed many relevant combat exercises.
This time, most of the uninformed soldiers only thought that it was another ordinary exercise, and the generals who knew about it also turned a blind eye and insisted on treating it as an ordinary exercise.
However, this exercise is more demanding and strict than in the past. Enemy attacks, rain of arrows in the air. The fighting in the city must be extremely realistic, the shouts of killing must be enough to deaf people's ears, and all conversations and disputes must be treated as real things.
In order to cultivate the psychological quality of not being afraid of death, not being afraid of being wounded, and not being intimidated by the blood flowing all over the ground in actual combat, we must do a vivid job of the wounded everywhere, the soldiers who died in battle, and the blood all over the ground.
Feng Jinjie said in advance that the exercise was successful, everyone had wine and meat to eat, and if anyone made a mistake, they would immediately be pulled to the army with a stick.
Under such circumstances, the whole army is working extremely hard, and there is not much difference between making an exercise and fighting a real war.
Of course, the necessary design and arrangement still have to be careful, for example, the people running back and forth outside Su Ling's room are all arranged in advance, and their conversations are all written in advance with the lines of the script written in advance by Feng Jinjie, and they memorize it at home. And all the soldiers who had come into contact with Su Ling's entourage were also under the strict control of the Wind Festival
At this moment, his plan was successful, and he said leisurely: "We are just conducting a training exercise, if there is any inappropriate news that is transmitted back to the rear, it is not our responsibility, it is that Lord Su Lingsu is too timid, he did not even face any general, made proper inquiries, and did not go to the city tower to take a look in person, so he wishfully decided that there was a war, and immediately fled." Of course, we didn't expect him to be so timid that he walked away without figuring out anything. We always thought that he had known that this was a drill......"
Feng Jinjie smiled coldly: "So, no matter what, the consequences have nothing to do with us, and we can't be held accountable." ”
As soon as he explained this, Wang Dabao and the knife were relieved. As soon as people relaxed, they immediately had a smile on their faces.
"General Feng, how am I acting? When those two idiots rushed over, my screams were loud enough, right? The way I fell from the city was scary enough, when I pinched the blood sac, it was timely enough......" Wang Dabao laughed with flashing eyes, "Those two bastards let me smash it, almost didn't break the bones on the spot, and I was even more scared to pee my pants." ”
Feng Jinjie smiled and nodded, I really can't see that this guy really has a bit of acting strength.
Xiaodao jumped up unwilling to be lonely beside him to show his merits: "And me, outside their room, how well the words are said, how excited they are, how scared, how afraid." Anyone who listens to it will feel that their lives are in danger, and my team, all of whom I forced to watch and memorize the words, all of them behaved very well, we were running, moving things, taking armour, drawing swords and swords, and talking at the same time, and the words were clear, to ensure that the people inside could hear, but we couldn't detect that we deliberately let them hear, this is not an easy task, we practiced all night, look, our voices are hoarse. ”
Feng Jinjie smiled: "Okay, okay, I know that you have contributed, and I will reward everything." ”
He laughed again
"Give me a general order to the whole army, this combat exercise has achieved great success, and in actual combat, just like in the exercise, no matter how strong the enemy is, it can fight bravely, and no matter how big the losses are suffered, it can also maintain its fighting spirit." In order to comfort everyone, the ban was lifted in the army, and all the officers and men who joined the exercise could have alcohol to drink, but each person had to be rationed, not allowed to get drunk, and the whole army could not drink together, the whole army was divided into four shifts, and drank in turns, and all city defense affairs should not be affected by this. In addition, take out all the meat stored in the army, and make sure that everyone can get some of it, and beat the tooth sacrifice. ”
The soldiers around were thunderous with joy, and some heralds had already rushed down the city and sent orders everywhere.
In a short time, cheers and shouts were heard in all directions. Many of the corpses lying on the ground and the seriously wounded who were moaning on their bodies covered in blood also jumped up and shouted.
In the midst of the shouts of joy in the sky, the wind and strength that stood at the top of the city tower only smiled faintly, although the smile never reached his eyes.
Wang Dabao, who was laughing, inadvertently saw his eyes, and his laughter was sluggish, and he hesitated for a moment before he said softly: "General Feng, will it be useful for us to do this?" ”
Feng Jinjie glanced at him lightly: "It's better to be useful, otherwise ......"
He turned his eyes and looked into the distance, the direction in which Lu Dongli rode away that day was best useful, otherwise, my next means will make many, many people understand what it means to regret.
Lu Dongli hijacked the governor's land on the same day. All those in the know were dumbfounded, and they couldn't believe that there would be such a ridiculous thing in the world.
With the weight of the governor's authority and the strict defense of the honor guard, unless he is a real peerless master in the legend, only a high-ranking official like him can easily approach and attack him. So that the Governor's personal guards have nothing to do.
If it was an ordinary gangster, a bandit, there would be a little possibility of sniping, but Lu Dongli was the commander of the emperor's order, even if it was to save the governor, in case he missed and killed him. After-the-fact responsibility is not something that just anyone can afford to bear.
Because the whole thing is too ridiculous and unbelievable, all those in the know invariably handle the incident in a low-key manner and cover it up and conceal it from the outside world.
After Lu Dongli held the governor hostage, he only occupied the study and ordered all the governors and soldiers to leave far away, and a few of his own personal soldiers protected each other inside and outside the study, and all food and drink. They were all sent in from outside, and after being tasted by the soldiers, it would take half an hour. After making sure that it was all right, he and the governor ate it together. And the pro-soldier feeding is also in shifts. This arrangement also prohibits the possibility of the rescuer using drugs.
Because he was too guarded, and no one dared to risk the life of the Governor, the people from all over the world could only tie their hands and let him take what he wanted.
The governor was first furious, and shouted angrily, and scolded in anger. Mouth after mouth, to play. If you want to investigate it, you want to let Lu Dongli die without a place to be buried, and Lu Dongli will ignore it.
Later, the subordinates and officials outside coaxed, persuaded and talked, all saying that everything was easy to discuss, and there was no need to make trouble to this point, and Lu Dongli only listened and did not listen.
In the end, they called Su Ling and talked about Lu Dongli with the affection of relatives, and Lu Dongli was naturally unmoved.
From the beginning to the end, he insisted on only one point, that is, let the governor issue an iron order, and quickly transferred all the military weapons that could be used, and transported them to Dingyuan Pass.
The governor refused at first, but he could not resist the threat of suicide and martyrdom with a man beside him, red eyes. He still has a great future, a lot of glory and wealth, plus a bunch of beautiful aunts and wives in the backyard, where is he willing to give his life in vain.
In the end, he had to succumb to Lu Dongli's threat and issued an urgent order. Dispatch to the counties on fast horses, and if the military supplies are not prepared within the prescribed time limit, the counties will be guarded and send the black gauze hat directly to the governor's palace.
This handwritten book really worked wonders, and the county officials mobilized everything with the efficiency of the first highland in their lives.
Lu Dongli asked Wang Dabao to personally inspect it, and then asked Wang Dabao to bring most of his personal soldiers to accompany the escort officer to Dingyuan Pass. and promised that as long as he took the official receipt personally issued by the Fengjin Festival of Dingyuan Pass, he would immediately let go of the governor and take responsibility for all the guilt he had done. And he himself kept only ten of his own soldiers in order to guard him in shifts, so that the others had no chance to rescue the governor.
Because Su Ling had just gone to escort the quartermaster not long ago, he naturally picked him to do this this time. In order to restore the governor's freedom as soon as possible, they mobilized the best convoy of fast horses to escort the military weapons as fast as possible.
But Lu Dongli didn't wait any longer, and after a few days, he estimated in his heart where the escort team had arrived, and now even if the Governor's Mansion issued an order, it would no longer be able to pass on the news halfway or intercept the team in time.
So he generously let go of the governor, opened the door, and let all those who were guarding outside, everyone was mentally tired, the guards, the masters, and the big and small officials could come and go freely.
He was generous and generous, his words were calm, and his demeanor was calm.
After a few days, the Governor, who was extremely nervous and fearful, and all the officials, big and small, and the guards concerned, suddenly relaxed when the crisis was unexpectedly resolved. I all feel soft in my hands and feet, dizzy,
At this time, everyone didn't even have enough spirit and strength to settle accounts with Lu Dongli, the governor rushed to his own people as soon as possible, and the others protected the governor in the middle for the first time.
Of course, being able to get such good treatment has a lot to do with Lu Dongli's official position and the title of Marshal of Dingyuan Pass. Even if everyone hates him so much that his teeth itch, it's really hard to say that he will be beaten, and he will be killed, and his status as an official of the court can only be deprived by the court.
After that, the governor and the officials, big and small, rested, were shocked, and came back to their senses, and then they got together to discuss the disposal of Lu Dongli, and then they found that the matter was really too tricky. It's simply hard to deal with.
