Chapter 18 Appointment

Lizhou, the later generation of Sichuan Guangyuan, the gateway to the north of Sichuan, west of the Jialing River, the north and south of the east mountains are covered, since ancient times for the main road into Sichuan.

It was the early autumn morning, the mountains were lonely, the barracks were silent, suddenly, the flags outside the camp were waving, the horses were chirping, and countless knights came in bursts, and soon they poured into the barracks, followed by bulging vehicles.

The sound of fighting sounded, and the entire military camp was in a commotion, and countless Song soldiers came out of the barracks to see what was going on.

"According to the holy decree of the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, Cao Youwen was controlled by the West Road of Lizhou, and Yu Yu was controlled by the East Road of Lizhou, and all the military affairs of the Lizhou camp were extracted. After the generals finished eating, they quickly gathered in the barracks! ”

The herald galloped through the barracks, loudly conveying military orders.

Although Lizhou is a border area, there has been no war since the end of the Song-Jin War two years ago, so military affairs are also relaxed. In addition, the governor of Lizhou led the military and political affairs, and the civilian officials led the troops to govern the military with literature, and the contempt of the civil officials for the warriors also caused the slackness of the military spirit.

"General, there's something big!"

In the barracks, Cheng Xin, the deputy commander of the Lizhou Division, was washing his face, and the sergeant ran in in a panic.

"Panic ball! What the hell is going on? ”

Cheng Xin washed his face and sat down slowly on the chair next to him.

"General, the imperial court sent Shangguan here, and I heard that it was the capital of Lizhou East Road that controlled Yu Jue. After eating, we must assemble the above generals in the barracks! ”

"What?"

The sergeant's words made Cheng Xin stunned.

There have long been rumors in the army that the emperor would send a group of officers from the Jinling Lecture Hall to the army, but he did not expect to arrive so soon.

"What about the envoy?"

Zheng Zhen, the Sichuan envoy who took office last year, promised him to appoint him as the commander of the West Road of Lizhou, but the imperial court has not responded. Now it seems that I am afraid that something is going to go wrong.

"The villain asked the new general, saying that Zheng Xianggong has been transferred back to Lin'an!"

The sergeant's answer made Cheng Xin's face ugly, and he secretly scolded his mother in his heart.

Needless to say, the gold, silver and jewelry he gave to Zheng Zheng were all lost.

These incorruptible and shameless scholars, whose cheeks are thicker than the city walls, collect money and do nothing, and don't even say hello when they leave, they are really enough grandsons.

"Who is the new envoy?"

Sichuan system envoys, feudal officials, the imperial court such a change of order is related to the fall of Shi Miyuan and the new emperor who ascended the throne?

"General Hui, it is the original Sichuan envoy Cui and Cui Xianggong."

"It turned out to be him."

Cheng Xin nodded, slightly relieved.

Cui He is shrewd and capable, and he also appreciates him very much, and there will be no problem if he wants to come to his position as the commander of Lizhou West Road.

"Wait!"

Cheng Xin was suddenly shocked, and asked:

"You said that you came to control Yu Jue on Lizhou East Road, so how is Chen Li placed?"

Chen Li is the commander of the Xingyuan capital, that is, the pacification envoy of the Lizhou East Road and the commander of the capital. Since it is the capital of Lizhou East Road, how should Chen Li arrange it? Or is it still the pacification envoy of Lizhou East Road?

"The villain doesn't know. But I heard that ......"

Cheng Xin didn't know about these things, and they, the pawns in the army, naturally didn't know even more.

"Heard of what? Say it! ”

Cheng Xin subconsciously felt that something was wrong, and asked impatiently.

"Yes, General. I heard that the new Lizhou West Road is under control...... It seems to be called Cao Youwen, and then it will be ......"

The sergeant's words made Cheng Xin stunned and sat down on the chair in a dejected manner.

In this way, his position as the commander of Lizhou Rong is beaten by chickens and eggs!

"General, do you want to get rid of these guys? There are two roads in Lizhou, brothers only recognize you Cheng Shuai! ”

I don't know when, Wang Kui, the commander of Lizhou West Road and the state, came in and said viciously.

"That's it, the brothers are working hard, why did they let outsiders pick peaches?"

Li Zhongde, the deputy capital of Lizhou East Road, was also indignant.

Xingyuan Mansion is an important town in the border area, and Li Zhongde has served in Lizhou East Road for many years, although he is also the deputy capital, but he is also Cheng Xin's confidant and sworn friend.

"Don't act rashly just yet. If things get bigger, it won't do anyone any good. ”

Cheng Xin's face was ugly, and he said to Li Zhongde:

"Li Er, go and call all the brothers above the two road generals, let's go and visit this Lizhou East Road Commander together."

Cheng Xin stood up, his brows furrowed.

These newcomers, I'm afraid they are not good.

"General, do you want to call Ma Zhong and them?"

"No need. These people can't pee in the same pot as us. Ignore them. ”

Cheng Xin snorted coldly, feeling extremely annoyed and ashamed.

Everyone thought that he was going to serve as the commander of Lizhou Rongsi, but when the governor came, he was picked by outsiders.

This makes him look up in front of everyone, how can he still raise his head?

Cheng Xintie blushed and strode out of the barracks.

"The last general, the deputy capital of the Lizhou Rong Division, commanded Cheng Xin, and the deputy capital of Lizhou East Road controlled Li Zhongde, and brought two large and small generals, and I have seen Xingyuan Rong Division!"

Cheng Xin and the others entered the barracks and saluted Yu Jue together.

Twenty-five or sixteen years old, this newcomer, is too young.

and these generals next to him, some of them are obviously less than 20 years old, and they are amazingly young.

What is the emperor crazy about, why did he send these stunned youths?

"General Cheng, General Li, generals, fortunate meeting, fortunate meeting. Cao Shuai will arrive later, and the generals may wish to wait first. ”

Yu Jue smiled all over his face, clasped his fists and saluted, and also looked at these border soldiers.

Lizhou West Road is not his jurisdiction, but Cao Youwen arrived later, he can only be Yue Yu Dai, first gather the generals of the two roads in Lizhou, and then issue the general order with Cao Youwen.

Although Lizhou is under the jurisdiction of Lizhou West Road, the training of troops on both roads in Lizhou is in the Lizhou camp. After the recruits are trained, they will be supplemented by the two military states, so it can be regarded as a common supply camp for the two routes in Lizhou.

Of course, in addition to the formation and training of the new army, it is also necessary to recruit new sergeants in Sichuan, so as to meet the requirements of 100,000 troops on the two roads of Lizhou.

These border army generals look pretty good, they don't have a big belly, they are weak, and the soldiers in the battalion are still in good spirits.

However, these people have contemptuous eyes, and many are full of anger, and they seem to be difficult to control.

It seems that Cui Youhe is right, these border generals are used to being domineering, and they are seriously xenophobic, and I don't know if I and Cao Youwen can convince the public?

"Yu Shuai, dare to ask, how should Chen Shuai Chen Li of Xingyuan Rong Division be placed?"

Li Zhongde, the deputy commander of Lizhou East Road, asked directly with a black face.

People are ambitious, and Li Zhongde is the same. originally thought that Chen Li, a civil official, was only temporarily in charge of the capital, and it would eventually come to his head. Who knew that there was a Yu Jue, and he must be out of play.

"I won't hide it from you, Chen Shuai is a civil official, and his dispatch is the pacification envoy of Lizhou East Road and the prefect of Xingyuan Mansion, and he will only be in charge of civil affairs in the future. The pacification of the Lizhou Rong Division made Guo Zhengsun also only in charge of civil affairs, and the military and political affairs of the Lizhou Rong Division and the Xingyuan Rong Division would be taken over by General Cao Youwen and Zaixia respectively. ”

Yu Jue said with a smile, and Cheng Cheng's confidence sank.

His dream of being handsome in Lizhou was really broken.

"General Yu, General Cao has arrived!"

Before the sergeant's words fell, Cao Youwen and the others had already walked in.

"I've seen General Cao!"

Cheng Xin and the others saluted together, and they were all surprised.

These new generals, each younger than the other, is really incomprehensible and angry.

What did the emperor think, how could he send these young guys? Isn't that a slap in the face?

"Brothers, it's a good thing, it's a good thing."

Cao Youwen bowed his hand and returned to the middle of the house to stand, and the generals stood on both sides according to their ranks.

Although the people were not satisfied, they still had to obey the rules of the camp.

"Brothers, now read out Your Majesty's decree on the appointment and adjustment of your military ranks. Your Majesty has said that fame and wealth will be taken immediately, the position is only temporary, and the future promotion will depend on the military exploits of your brothers. ”

Cao Youwen looked at the generals and took Huang Chengcheng's holy decree out.

"Follow Your Majesty's teachings!"

All the generals stood up together, clasped their fists and saluted, their hearts were all sudden.

I am afraid that my personal future is all in this will.

"Where is Cheng Xin, the deputy capital of the former Lizhou West Road?"

Cao Youwen took the holy decree and said loudly.

"Cheng Xin is here!"

Cheng Xin walked to the hall and knelt on one knee to salute.

"Cheng Xin's original position remains unchanged, he is still the deputy capital of Lizhou West Road, leading 3,000 troops, guarding Xianren Pass, and commanding five places: Dasan Pass, Huangniu Fort, Qifang Pass, Fengzhou and Wuxiu Pass!"

"Minister......

Cheng Xin was unusually embarrassed, his face was red and white, and he was speechless for a while.

The official was reinstated, and it seemed that he had saved his face, but in fact it was a complete deal.

"General Cheng was born and died in Biansai, and his brothers obeyed him, why didn't he serve as the commander of Lizhou Rong? It's not fair! ”

Li Zhongde, the deputy commander of the Xingyuan Rong Division, was indignant and spoke out first.

"Why? This is unfair to General Cheng! We are not convinced! ”

"Without General Cheng, Lizhou Rongsi simply stopped!"

The generals spoke one after another, impassionedly, and shouted for their boss Cheng Xin.

The veteran generals in the other battalions were silent and silent.

"Why, do you want to disobey the holy decree?"

Cao Youwan shouted angrily, and a group of officers came in with spears, and Yi Ran was a young officer who graduated from the Jinling Lecture and Martial Arts Hall.

These people wore helmets and armor, spears in their hands, and the air in the barracks was suddenly cold.

"General Cheng, this is the emperor's holy decree, do you want a river of blood here?"

Yu Jue looked at Cheng Xin, who was kneeling on one knee, and said coldly.

"What, do you want to do it? Come on! ”

"That's amazing! Can't you say a word? ”

\"Lao Tzu crawled out of the pile of dead people, are you still afraid of this? \"

Li Zhongde, Wang Kui and others were undaunted, and the sense of provocation was strong.

Other generals took a few steps back, seemingly not wanting to get involved in the firefight.

"Ready!"

Yu Jue's face sank and he shouted loudly.

The spears in the hands of the officers were raised together.

"Stop!"

Cheng Xin was sweating profusely, he stood up, took the holy decree, stretched out his arms, and stood among the generals and the officers with spears.

He could see that if he didn't stop it, he might really bleed five steps.

"General Cao, General Yu, stop your anger!"

Cheng Xin clasped his fists at Cao Youwen and Yu Jue, who were gloomy, and then turned his head with a blank face.

"If you don't listen to the emperor's will, are you going to rebel?"

Since the wood is already in the boat, why fight for the length of the moment? The future is long.

"No, no! The brethren are only upset for the general! ”

"General, the brothers have no bad intentions, they just want justice!"

Li Zhongde and Wang Kui smiled with a smile on their faces, nodded and said.

The generals were obedient, and Cheng Xin nodded with satisfaction.

"This is the barracks, listen to the holy decree well, don't be embarrassed by the two generals!"

"Yes, General!"

Li Zhongde, Wang Kui and others clasped their fists and saluted Cao Youwen and Yu Jue, confessed their crimes one after another, and stood back in their positions.

Cao Youwen and Yu Jue glanced at each other, Cao Youwen waved his hand slightly, and the officers with guns all retreated.

If there is a big trouble today, they will not hesitate to kill people and stand up for power, and the blood will flow five steps.
