Chapter 70: Military Power or Not
On the school field, more than 20,000 troops under Liu Bang's command were lined up in a neat line, and their eyes were gathered on Xiang Ye's face, they were all warriors who had followed Liu Bang and fought against the Qin army, and many people did not understand why Liu Bang suddenly gave such an important position to a young man with no experience in leading troops when they heard that Xiang Ye was named a hussar general.
Facing these warriors who had survived a hundred battles, Xiang Ye did not have the kind of nervousness he had imagined before coming to the school, and a thought suddenly popped up in his mind, a thought that would surprise everyone after hearing it.
"General Xiang, do you want to say something to the soldiers?" Seeing Xiang Ye standing on the school ground, Xiahou Ying never said a word, so she leaned closer to him and whispered, "The soldiers are waiting for you to lecture." ”
Xiang Ye shook his head and said loudly: "No need, I don't have anything to say." ”
"Ugh!" Xiahou Ying responded very embarrassedly, turned her face to the officers and soldiers on the colonel, and said loudly: "This is our new hussar general Xiang Ye, in the future, everyone must obey General Xiang's orders whether they are marching or stationing in the camp, if there is anyone who disobeys the military order, he will be ......punished with the army **."
As soon as Xiahou Ying said this, Xiang Ye waved his hand at him, signaling him not to continue. He looked at Xiang Ye with some puzzlement, not knowing what he wanted to do.
After Xiang Ye stopped Xiahou Ying from continuing, he raised his feet and took two steps forward, glanced at the neat and tidy army, and said loudly: "Pei Gong did make me a hussar general, but I have self-knowledge, being a general must lead troops to fight, I have never led soldiers, and I don't know how to fight." I hardly knew how to kill people other than with a sword. Most of you are probably much better than I am in this regard. I want to say only one thing to everyone, when you fight, you can fight how you want, listen to Pei Gong's orders, don't come to ask me about all military affairs, because I don't understand at all, but if you fight with people outside, come to me, I will definitely stand up for you! ”
Before he finished speaking, the army below began to stir, and many officers and soldiers exchanged their heads and ears without knowing what they were saying, and the school grounds, which were originally silent, could be heard even when a needle fell to the ground, suddenly became noisy like a bathhouse.
Xiahou Ying stood aside and looked at Xiang Ye with round eyes, he really couldn't understand what kind of medicine Xiang Ye was selling in his gourd. Almost everyone he came into contact with had a strong desire for power, but Xiang Ye not only did not have a trace of joy after Liu Bang made him a hussar general, but instead said in front of the whole army on the school field that all military operations should not trouble him.
"Alright, no more talk!" Xiang Ye waved his hand towards the more than 20,000 officers and soldiers and said, "I'll leave first, you guys disperse." ”
After that, he didn't delay much, took Meng Su and Shi Lei, turned around and left.
Seeing that Xiang Ye was gone, Xiahou Ying hurriedly waved his hand to the officers and soldiers standing below, and said, "You can continue to practice." ”
After speaking, he also turned around and ran away with Xiang Ye.
"General Xiang, why did you take the initiative to hand over the military power on the school grounds?" After catching up with Xiang Ye, Xiahou Ying asked Xiang Ye very puzzled.
Xiang Ye replied as he walked: "Doctor Xiahou, have you noticed that I was named a hussar general, although everyone looks very happy, but they actually don't agree with Pei Gong doing this, if I really take over the military power, I am afraid that I will be criticized a lot when I lead the troops to fight in the future, in this case, I might as well take the initiative to give up the military power and end up clean!" ”
Xiahou Ying was stunned for a long time by Xiang Ye's words, when Liu Bang made Xiang Ye a hussar general, he was really happy, after all, Xiang Ye was introduced to Liu Bang by him, and he was also his savior. But he ignored the feelings of other people, others were polite to Xiang Ye, it was entirely because of Liu Bang, if it weren't for Liu Bang, I'm afraid Fan Hao and the others would not be so friendly to Xiang Ye at all.
When Xiang Ye took the initiative to hand over the military power, Liu Bang was sitting in the inner hall, and Lu Pheasant was standing behind him, a pair of weak and boneless hands gently resting on his shoulders.
"Pei Gong, do you really want the newcomer Xiang Ye to lead the whole army?" Lu Pheasant kneaded Liu Bang's shoulder, and said in a very soft tone: "Aren't you afraid that Fan Hao and Zhou Bo will not accept them?" ”
Liu Bang ignored Lu Pheasant, his brows furrowed tightly, in order to leave Xiang Ye and the others behind, he gave the three of them quite important positions, from Xiahou Ying, what he knew was that these three people had a good swordsmanship, but after making them generals, Liu Bang regretted it, after all, the swordsman was just a swordsman, and the military talent of Xiang Ye and the others did not show it.
"Someone!" Liu Bang was silent for a while, and then shouted out of the door: "Go and call Xiao He to me!" ”
A soldier outside the door answered, turned around and ran out.
"Lu Pheasant, you should go out first, go to find Lu Xu, these days with the army, your sisters haven't had a good chat." After the soldiers left, Liu Bang pressed one hand on the hand of Lu Pheasant, who was pressing his shoulder, and said, "I have been with me for many days, and I have suffered you." ”
Lu Pheasant smiled slightly, and said to Liu Bang lightly: "Pei Gong, you and I are husband and wife, where do you need so many politeness, I will go to find my sister, but I don't know if General Fan Xu is not there." ”
"Hmm." Liu Bang nodded and said, "You go, if Fan Hao is here, let him come to me too." ”
Lu Pheasant answered, and walked out lightly.
Soon after Lu Pheasant left, Xiao He rushed over first. Seeing Xiao He coming, Liu Bang hurriedly got up and covered the door, pulled him to sit facing him, and muttered quietly.
Taking refuge in Liu Bang, Xiang Ye has always been a little uneasy, he knows very well how Liu Bang treats heroes after winning the world, and taking refuge in such a person must be very low-key in order to live in peace.
"Why did you give up your military power today?" Back at the residence, the servants sent Xiahou Ying away, and after closing the door, Meng Su glared at Xiang Ye fiercely and asked in a low voice: "Don't you know that if we have military power in our hands, we will be able to kill Xianyang and kill Zhao Gao and Qin II in the future?" ”
The corners of Xiang Ye's mouth twitched, looked at Meng Su, and said in a light tone: "Do you know Liu Bang?" Do you think he really gave us the power of the army, and let us who were only meeting each other for the first time but didn't know each other very well to lead the army? ”
"Ugh!" Meng Su was stunned by Xiang Ye's question, and then said, "Listening to your tone, you seem to know him very well?" Do you think that he didn't really hand over the military power to you this time, but just left us behind? ”
Xiang Ye wanted to say that he really knew Liu Bang very well, and he knew that in the future, Liu Bang would wantonly kill heroes after winning the world, but the words came to his lips and swallowed back. If these words are said more than ten years later, everyone in the world will definitely agree, but it is too early to say now, after all, Liu Bang still appears as a generous elder in the eyes of the world.
"Have you ever heard of King Goujian?" couldn't talk about Liu Bang directly, Xiang Ye had to pull the topic to his predecessors: "Do you know that Fan Lizhu Gou has won the world, why didn't he enjoy the joy of victory with him in the end but retreated to the mountains and forests with Xi Shi?" ”
Xiang Ye's words stunned Meng Su, Gou Jian, the king of Yue, naturally knew it, and also knew that Gou Jian had killed the literary genre who had worked hard and made great achievements for the strength of the Yue State after defeating the Wu State, but she really couldn't think of any inevitable connection between Gou Jian's approach and Liu Bang.
"Since ancient times, people with great talent and strategy will kill or dismiss heroes in order to sit firmly in the world after winning the world, the so-called 'cunning rabbit dies, lackeys cook, birds are exhausted, and good bows are hidden' is this truth. I see that Liu Bang must not be a thing in the pool, although he is weak now, he is the one who will win the world in the future. I took refuge in him, just to find you a place to live, and when you are stable here, I naturally want to leave, what do you want to do with that military power? Xiang Ye forced Meng Su to look at Meng Su, looking at Meng Su uncomfortable, although what he said was very realistic and unpleasant, but the last sentence of finding a place for her to settle down made Meng Su feel an indescribable warmth in his heart.
Monsu lowered his head and stopped talking, just frowning and not knowing what he was thinking. Xiang Ye also sighed and cast his gaze on the straw mat sitting under him.
Since he came to the barracks, Shi Lei, who has not spoken much, sat on the side and scratched his head as if he was very entangled, growing up in the market, with the ruffian nature of the people who lived, if he was allowed to fight with others, he would never have the slightest hesitation, but if he said that he would analyze human nature and weigh the pros and cons, he really didn't have that ability.
When Xiang Ye and Meng Su were arguing, he could only sit on the side and be stupid.
"I'll go out for a walk." Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was a little awkward, Shi Lei exhaled, stood up, opened the door and walked out.
Although Meng Su and Xiang Ye in the room no longer continued to quarrel, the two of them were silent at the same time, and the atmosphere became even more tense, and the air seemed to be frozen because of the silence of the two, which made Shi Lei feel a sense of breathlessness.
Out of the room, Shi Lei lowered his head and kicked a small pebble and wandered aimlessly around the barracks. Several groups of patrolmen passed by him, and the patrolmen saluted him, but he did not see it, but walked forward with his head bowed.
After walking for half a pillar of incense, Shi Lei's chest suddenly swelled with an inexplicable irritability, and he raised his foot and kicked the stones under his feet into the air.
The kick was very hard, and the stone flew up with a "whoosh" and flew towards the barracks in the distance. Shi Lei was about to turn around and leave, only to hear someone howl "oops" in the direction where the stone flew past, and he was so shocked that he quickly turned his head to look at the place where the howl was made.
