Chapter 196: Good Words Retreat
"Commander Sun, I advise you not to act rashly. Yu Zhong said with a smile.
Before he could finish speaking, with a crisp voice, Commander Sun's saber had been picked up by Ye Xiaoxiao's sword and fell to the ground.
The surrounding soldiers were like facing a great enemy, and they fought against each other.
"This ...... You have to be careful, this girl, the sword has no eyes......" Commander Sun stammered.
"Hmph, you'd better be polite to this girl, and let them not move. Ye Xiaoxiao pressed his sword against Commander Sun's throat and said sharply.
"What are you going to do, listen to the woman's words, put down your weapons, don't mess around!" Commander Sun hurriedly ordered.
Seeing that Commander Sun was being held hostage, the soldiers around him were afraid of hurting him, so they had to obey the order and put down their weapons and did not dare to move.
"Even if you knew each other, I thought you weren't afraid of death. Ye Xiaoxiao said.
"Hehe, Woman, what do we have to discuss, don't use knives and guns, what does Yu Gongzi want, just bring it, and the young general will do it." Commander Sun said with a smile.
"Since Commander Sun is willing to talk, why don't you follow us into the cottage to talk about it. Yu Zhong said.
When Commander Sun heard this, his face was sad. It's just that now he is holding a long sword against his throat, and a small life is in the hands of a person at any time. He had no choice but to obey Yu Zhong's orders and let the army stand by, and he was "invited" into the cottage.
Dongga was very surprised to see that Yu Zhong had tied up the court officials into the cottage, and hurriedly pulled him aside and asked, "Yu Shaoxia, why did you tie him in?"
"If I don't do this, I'm afraid the army has no scruples and will attack the cottage at any time. Yu replied.
"I see, it's still Yu Shaoxia's thoughtfulness, I just asked about the poisonous bone, the army of the imperial court does have some kind of agreement with him, what should we do next?" Dongga asked.
At this time, I saw that Commander Sun was sitting there nervously at a loss, and Ye Xiaoxiao was staring at him with raised eyebrows on the side.
Yu Zhong walked up to him, sat down, and said, "Commander Sun, we invite you into the village, and there is no malice, we just want to solve today's misunderstanding and release the suspicion between the Baiyue clan and the imperial court." ”
"Yu Gongzi is serious, the young general is just a person who leads the troops, how can I know these problems, I can't be the master of these. Commander Sun hurriedly replied.
Seeing his words flickering, looking at him left and right, Yu Zhong knew that this kid was not telling the truth.
"Commander Sun, do you know what the crime of transferring the forbidden army without permission is?" Yu Zhong suddenly slapped the case and broke off, startling everyone.
Hearing Yu Chong's question, Commander Sun was obviously nervous, and hurriedly stammered back, "What...... What forbidden army, what I brought are all soldiers from the new state capital. ”
As soon as he finished saying this, he noticed that Yu Zhong was smiling meaningfully at him, and immediately knew that he had been fooled.
In fact, Yu Chongfang only asked him about the crime of transferring the forbidden army without permission, and did not say that he mobilized the forbidden army. And he was frightened by Yu Chongyi and was overly nervous, isn't this answering without admitting himself.
Looking at Commander Sun's annoyed expression, Ye Xiaoxiao almost laughed happily on the side, only to see Yu Zhong sit down again and say, "Commander Sun, you can talk now." ”
"How did you find out......" Commander Sun said like a defeated rooster with his head down.
"Actually, you are very well disguised, and the whole army has changed into the clothes and flags of the Xiang Army, if it is someone else, you will definitely not be able to find it. It's just that you have forgotten that most of the blades of the Southern Han Forbidden Army are from our Yu family, and I can recognize them at a glance. Yu Zhong replied lightly.
"I see. Commander Sun suddenly realized, but he could not have expected that he would meet the people of the Yu family in Jiangzhou here and discover their true identities.
The Southern Han Dynasty strictly controlled the use of forbidden troops stationed in various places, and if the commanders of various routes wanted to mobilize the forbidden army, they must have an official document from the Ministry of War. Otherwise, it will be a private mobilization of the forbidden army, and at least it will be disgraced and resigned, and at worst, it will be beheaded and confiscated.
People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. Seeing that the matter had been revealed, no matter how much it was futile to quibble, Commander Sun had no choice but to tell the facts.
It turned out that it was the poisonous bone who secretly contacted the ruler of Jingchu South Road, and wanted to use the power of the government to help him seize the position of the patriarch of the Baiyue clan. He also promised that once successful, the Baiyue people would be loyal to the court and never cause chaos.
In fact, the government doesn't know that the poisonous bones just want to use the power of the official army to achieve their ambitions. With his character, even if he doesn't turn his face immediately, sooner or later he will cross the river and tear down the bridge.
The ruler happened to be a radical, and he had always felt that the Baiyue clan was a country within a country and was difficult to govern. I wanted to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to simply exterminate the power of the Baiyue clan on Jingchu South Road.
So the commander immediately wrote to the Ministry of War, hoping to mobilize the forbidden army to exterminate the Baiyue tribe. Maybe the imperial court is still discussing, and the military department has not replied for a long time.
But Poison Bone couldn't wait any longer, and he gathered his supporters on his own to fight Dongga. This forced the ruler to start planning in advance.
The Baiyue clan is still martial, and the ordinary box army is really difficult to deal with, and finally the commander decided to use the forbidden army to change into the clothes and banners of the Shangxiang army, to hide the world and the sea, in a vain attempt to cover up the truth about their private mobilization of the forbidden army.
It's just that in the end, it's still a hundred secrets, and Yu Zhong saw it.
"I have a good word of advice, and Commander Sun is willing to listen to it. Yu Zhong said.
"Now that I'm in your hands, where can I be unwilling?" said Commander Sun angrily.
"You know, be honest with me and listen to Brother Yu well. Ye Xiaoxiao said on the side.
Commander Sun nodded like a chicken pecking rice, he was afraid of this aunt.
"Under the leadership of the Dongga patriarch, the Baiyue people have always been kind to the Han people and implemented the policy of ethnic integration, but the poisonous bones have always been radical and believe that the Baiyue people and the Han people are incompatible. If he succeeds in taking charge of the Baiyue clan, it will not be the opposite for the imperial court. Yu Zhong said.
Seeing that Commander Sun seemed to be listening quite seriously, Yu Zhong paused, and continued: "When you are the son of heaven, you will rule the country with benevolence. But for the sake of his own selfish desires, the ruler is so greedy and reckless, and he does perverse acts. If you really let the emperor know, I'm afraid it won't be pleased. ”
"This ......," Commander Sun was speechless for a moment.
"Now the Baiyue people have retreated to the back mountain, the back mountain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If Commander Sun leads his troops to attack, he will have to lose his troops and lose his generals, and he will be held accountable in the future, what does Commander Sun think will happen to him?" Yu Zhong continued.
Having said this, Commander Sun was already scared into a cold sweat, he only knew that he would think so thoroughly if he obeyed the orders of the commander.
"Yu Gongzi save me!" he was so frightened that his legs weakened, and he fell to his knees with a poof.
"Commander Sun, please get up quickly, I'm just a cloth cloth, you are an official of the imperial court, how can you kneel to me." If you really have the heart to redeem it, I can make an idea for you, and you will not be held accountable by the imperial court, and the ruler will not be able to blame you. Yu Zhong helped him up and said.
"Please also ask Yu Gongzi for advice. Commander Sun hurriedly asked for advice.
"This idea may require the cooperation of the Dongga Patriarch. Yu Zhong said to Dongga.
"If there is anything that needs my cooperation, Yu Shaoxia just commanded. Dongga replied boldly.
"That's just how we need to do it......" Yu Zhong said.
The army waited outside the cottage for a long time, and saw that Commander Sun was kidnapped into the cottage for a long time and did not return, and began to be a little unable to hold back.
"Thank you for your advice, I will do as you say. Commander Sun said politely.
"I also thank the Baiyue people for their magnanimity. Yu replied.
Commander Sun turned back to the army and loudly announced to the officers and men of the whole army: "Brothers, our camp training this time coincided with the civil strife among the Baiyue tribe, and I led the army here, the original intention was to help the Dongga patriarch calm the civil strife, but now that the civil strife has subsided, we can return to the camp victoriously, and reward the three armies after returning to comfort everyone." ”
Of course, the deputy commanders around him knew the purpose of this trip, and suddenly Commander Sun was also confused when he said this. However, this forbidden army was transferred out of the camp without permission, and if it was really held accountable, no one would be able to escape. Since there was no attack on the Baiyue tribe, it is logical to say that they came out for training.
Since Commander Sun said so, everyone tacitly started to be sloppy. As for the soldiers below, they didn't know the goal of this trip, and when they heard that they were eating and drinking, they would talk more.
As for the cost of eating and drinking, Yu Zhong has already agreed, and the Yu family is out, and he will privately give Sun Commander a custom-made steel knife to show his gratitude.
The army gradually retreated, and the noisy mountains and forests returned to their former tranquility.
"Thank you Yu Shaoxia this time, otherwise my Baiyue clan will be in great trouble. Looking at the clansmen who were gradually retreating from the mountain, Dongga thanked him from the bottom of his heart.
"Then I had to bother the patriarch of Dongga to write a letter to the court for this matter. Yu replied.
"Naturally, this time I can turn the conflict into a jade silk, I will personally write a note, thank the Lord of the Commander and Commander Sun for their help in the civil strife among our Baiyue clan. Dongga laughed.
"That's very good. Haha" Yu Zhong also smiled.
In fact, he guessed that the commander of the army sent a letter to the military department and wanted to mobilize the forbidden army to encircle and suppress Baiyue, but the DPRK and China must have been controversial and could not press back. As long as this letter from the Dongga patriarch arrives, the dispute between the court and China will be resolved immediately.
The courtiers will also know that the Baiyue people have the heart to get along with the Han people, and their wariness of the Baiyue people will be slowly eliminated. The Song Shu Central Committee will give all the credit for the subsidence of the civil strife to the Lord Commander and Commander Sun, so that the DPRK and China will definitely be commended.
As long as the edict of commendation arrives, the commander will naturally be embarrassed to investigate Commander Sun's disobedience, and the matter of privately mobilizing the forbidden army will naturally not exist, after all, it is just a daily training.
That's the best of both worlds.
