Chapter Twenty-Five: Each Carries a Ghost

Let's say that Li Banghua and Zhou Shixian have cooperated several times along the way, and he is not surprised that Zhou Shixian is proficient in human affairs and decisiveness.

It was tonight that he took the opportunity to reward the army to have a showdown with these military leaders, and finally achieved control over the whole army, Li Banghua also participated in the planning and gave suggestions - he also felt that this matter could not be delayed any longer.

After all, there is Qingxian in front. If you can succeed in seizing the southbound boat there, then the escort will be more than half successful.

But the problem is that it is not a simple matter to seize the Cao boat from the hands of a local tyrant who has no clear ownership and controls Caoyun, and the Shun army still has a main force stationed in Jinghai County, and the whole operation must be ordered and prohibited, and the battle must be resolved quickly.

"Please, please!" Li Banghua waved his hand and smiled heartily, not showing the decline of a seventy-year-old man.

Zhou Shixian immediately waved his hand and said, "Master Li, please too!" ”

After the rest of the officers looked at the two big men with smiles on their faces, they also sat down in their positions on both sides according to their ranks.

Xue Laoer, Zhang Hong, Wu Xingye, Sun Hu, Weng Dajie, Kong Tao, and Liu Xin naturally sat closest to the two of them, and the officers under them each sat behind their own generals.

After Zhou Shixian saw that everyone was seated, he said a few polite words, and then announced the opening of the table. Of course, during the march, alcohol was still not allowed to be drunk.

Naturally, the matter of the whole army had to be announced only after these officers had eaten and completely relaxed their vigilance.

After all, Zhou Shixian didn't plan to discuss with them, but to inform them. There is no point of bargaining in this kind of thing, what he wants is to establish absolute authority in the army.

Therefore, those who do not obey can only die!

Zhou Shixian looked around, everyone ate with relish, and it was the old man Li Banghua beside him, who seemed to have a good appetite.

Seeing that the old man Li Banghua, who knew the inside story and naturally guessed that there would be a killing in a while, was so calm and calm, Zhou Shixian couldn't help but admire this old man in his heart.

"Sure enough, it's a thousand-year-old / Maozhu!" Zhou Shixian smiled in his heart, and then took a big bite of food.

After a day's march, he can eat three bowls of such rice!

At the same time, the officers in the audience also had different thoughts.

Xue Laoer, Zhang Hong, and Wu Xingye all knew the inside story, and in order to avoid the suspicion of the other four, in addition to leaving the necessary garrisons and guards, they also brought their officers to Zhou Shixian's tent and participated in this humble dinner.

At this time, the three of them couldn't help but be a little nervous, in order to avoid the suspicion of the four army leaders, Zhou Shixian did not choose to announce the reorganization of the army in the city, so he was worried that someone would directly take the troops and horses of his headquarters and leave.

After all, Zhou Shixian had no other reliable forces outside the city, except for the one hundred and twenty people under Zhang Hong's command, a dozen cavalry guarding around him, and twenty personal guards.

In other words, Zhou Shixian put his own safety aside in exchange for the laxity of the four military leaders.

This is also the reason why he admires Li Banghua, because the old man took the initiative to ask him to hold Shang Fang's sword to deter those generals in order to succeed in the plan, and also reassured these soldiers, which is simply putting life and death out of the way.

It can only be said that the four military leaders are not fools, if this dinner is held in the city, they will not dare to participate easily, and even a direct mutiny may break out.

After all, Zhou Shixian didn't believe them, and they didn't believe Zhou Shixian either, and he took a few of his officers into the city like this, didn't he become a fish on someone else's chopping board?

And Zhou Shixian has such courage and courage, which also makes Xue Laoer, Zhang Hong, and Wu Xingye more determined to follow each other - such a hero can succeed!

From a certain point of view, the so-called real, undisputed power and prestige is the fact that you can take your subordinates to win all the time and convince everyone that you can win all the time, then no one will dare not listen to you!

People are all interested in advantages and avoid disadvantages, and when everyone believes that you can win, this kind of authority is something that no one dares to resist.

And Zhou Shixian has successfully resolved the crisis again and again, and established this unshakable prestige in this small escort group with him as the core, not just relying on the identity of the horse, the Tianwei of the Ming Dynasty.

This is the reason why Zhou Shixian must raise the probability of success of every operation to the highest even if he repeatedly takes risks with his life.

In other words, if you want others to follow you and give you your life, you have to have a reason from the inside out for others, especially those who are capable, to follow you and give you a reason to work hard.

Zhou Shixian knows this very well, he has always done that, and as for courage and confidence, he has never lacked it!

And Liu Xin and Kong Tao, who were also cautious, were not so calm at this time, Zhou Shixian called them over at the time of the army's dinner, which made them only bring a few officers and guards, and those guards were still eating out at this time.

The two of them did not have the credit of Sun Hu and Weng Dajie in pursuing and blocking Pang Lun's army, and they were not like Sun Hu and Weng Dajie, who had someone to act as a guarantor, so they were a little worried that Zhou Shixian would find an opportunity to clean them up.

But in the camp outside the city, it is not dangerous, after all, their soldiers and horses are also nearby, although the horse in front of them has an indescribable sense of horror, but it should not choose to do it at this time, which is the reason why they dare to come to the dinner.

In fact, by this time, the military salary and food had been distributed, and Liu Xin already had other thoughts in his heart, and was persuading Kong Tao to find an opportunity to break away from this so-called Qincha team with him.

It's just that Kong Tao seems to have made up his mind to follow Zhou Shixian's concubine, and he hasn't succeeded in convincing yet.

This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that the soldiers and officers under his command have also been moved by the military salary and grain and grass of the horse master, he has just tentatively made a few jokes, and these people have no intention of taking advantage of the opportunity to slip away.

It can only be said that Zhou Shixian first fulfilled his promise, bought people's hearts, and then announced that the strategy of reorganizing the army was right, Liu Xin was worried that he would be cleaned up, but those soldiers under him may not think so.

Zhou Shixian was the first official to give them military salaries, food, rewards, and meat, and he was still a relative of the emperor.

However, Liu Xin is not completely helpless, he knows that at this time, as long as he spreads a few rumors, it is very likely that he will set off a monstrous wave in this army that has not yet been truly integrated and the people's hearts have not yet been fully cohesive.

And this is also the reason why Zhou Shixian is in a hurry to reorganize the army.

Soon, the dinner was over, Zhou Shixian sat on the upper seat, looked around, and suddenly spoke, and said quietly:

"Everyone, let everyone come tonight, I think everyone can guess that something important has been announced!"

As soon as these words came out, the four military leaders and the more than 20 officers under them who did not know the inside story were in an uproar, and they looked at each other for a while, at a loss.

Outside the tent, the cold wind was whistling, and the fire tray erected on the stand on the side was swaying, dancing wildly with the wind, illuminating people's faces flickering.
