Chapter 21: What is untouchable?

In Yewang Pass, the originally tight war was suddenly eased, and the new commander of the three armies was replaced, some people were happy and some were worried, but most people were already numb, and they didn't have much feeling about it.

In the afternoon, the prince promised the soldiers to drink with his brothers tonight, and after returning to the city, the prince ordered the logistics to cook sheep and slaughter cattle to reward the three armies.

It didn't take long for all the beef and mutton to be prepared, the prince sat down on the throne, and the general sat down on the left and right below, cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle for pleasure, and he would have to drink three hundred times. Very happy.

All the soldiers are in their respective tents, each of them has a large piece of beef and mutton in front of them, and there are people walking back and forth in the tents, pouring wine for the soldiers, but there is a heroic scene under the command of 800 miles.

In the main tent, the eldest prince was in the first place, drinking and eating meat at the same time, and the officers under him also chatted happily.

An officer stepped forward to toast and said: "The last general congratulates the great prince, the great prince commands the three armies, it is really well deserved, the people's desire, the last general firmly believes that the great prince commands the three armies, and will definitely defeat the Liao army, the last general congratulates the great prince in advance, oh no, it should be the marshal who defeated the Liao army, and the name is full of the Great Song Dynasty." ”

This officer is the soldier this afternoon, he has become a commander from a nameless little soldier in one day, and he has reached this level completely by relying on the good kung fu of slapping his ass, and the eldest prince loves it very much, but it is not good to directly win too many ranks, after all, although the eldest prince loves vanity, but he can't show it too obviously, so as not to be found by others and fall into other people's tongues.

The eldest prince smiled proudly when he heard this, but said with a straight face: "Enough is enough, it's better to shoot less sycophants, I prefer generals who do more, if you can lead the handwriting to kill the enemy bravely, it will be more useful than how many sycophants you shoot!" Although the eldest prince said so, his heart was already happy.

At this time, a sharp-eyed officer stepped forward and complimented: "The commander is really a Ming marshal, discerning, if there is such a commander to lead, the last general can't think of a reason why our army will not win, but what this brother Tai said is not unreasonable, although this Xie Xun has outstanding military achievements, but he leads the troops is simply inhumane, in his eyes, his set of military law is everything, no matter how outstanding his past military exploits are, but anyone who violates his military law will be inescapable." And the eldest prince, you compare with him, you are simply kind-hearted, and you have won the hearts of the people! Speaking of this, Xie Xun is really hateful, he dares to rely on himself to such a high level, even the eldest prince you dare not give face, as the saying goes, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, this Xie Xun dares not to give the prince your face, in the future he will not rebel against the sky, and I hope that the eldest prince will severely punish this Xie Xun after returning to the capital after winning the war, so as to set an example. ”

Coincidentally, this person was originally in a high position, so it is easy to say that he was also a six-grade official in the government and the opposition, and after the Great Liao invaded the border, he led his troops to suffer many defeats, and now he is just a mere commander, not even a nine-grade commander.

The eldest prince nodded, and then asked, "This Xie Xun is so unpopular?"

More than 100 officers under the tent were gossiping, and finally said: "Compared with the eldest prince, the eldest prince is like being in the sky, and Xie Xun is afraid that he can't be counted on the ground." ”

Hearing these remarks, the eldest prince laughed, then raised his glass and drank with the officers.

But under such a scene, there were more than a dozen officers sitting in the corner, silent, but from the expressions on their faces, it could be seen that the lungs of these people were about to explode.

When the eldest prince saw these people, he sneered and said, "Why do these generals have such expressions, didn't they prepare wine and meat for the generals, but served a few plates of bedbugs?"

In the end, a few of them finally couldn't bear it anymore, and stepped forward and said: "Back to His Royal Highness, although Marshal Xie is a little strict in rectifying the three armies, but the state has national laws, and the family has family rules, this march and war is not child's play, if you can't govern the army strictly, then what's the use of this military law." It is precisely by strictly administering the army that Marshal Xie can never be defeated, become the god of our Great Song Dynasty army, protect my Great Song Dynasty territory, and prevent my Great Song Dynasty from being invaded by the younger generation. The eldest prince, you have also won the military power, why do you still slander Marshal Xie like this. ”

The eldest prince sneered, and then asked his generals: "I want to ask the generals, whether I have slandered the old general Xie Xun, you don't have to be afraid, if there is anything to say, I will not blame it." ”

It's just a polite thing that a fool can hear, and if anyone dares to tell the truth, then wait to die.

The generals are all people with brains, so it is naturally impossible to jump into the fire pit, and everyone shook their heads and said: "Although this old marshal Xie Xun will fight in battle, but this character, hey, I really don't dare to compliment, we are just telling the truth, and this prince is deeply popular, everyone can see it, we are just telling the truth, how can we become slandering the old marshal Xie Xun?" A group of rabble nodded one after another in agreement.

At this time, the eldest prince Zhao Qi got up and said: "Generals, I haven't said that! Can't you know right from wrong? ”

Several generals who followed Xie Xun burst into angry tendons, and their fists clenched, and some of them couldn't bear it anymore, and wanted to step forward and pull this Zhao Qi down and beat him up to thank him for the hatred in his heart, but in the end he was stopped.

The eldest prince pretended to be generous and said: "The generals are also rare generals, although I have not won a few battles, but I am also familiar with military books, and my father and emperor in the palace also saw my military talent, so that I can come to the front line, so that I can show my strength." The generals believe me once, follow me, and I will live up to my expectations and win a great victory. If a few generals are obsessed and swear to follow Xie Xun to the death, I will not stop them, but please also hand over their respective personnel transfer powers, so as not to hinder my victory over the Liao army. Saying that, the eldest prince took a half step back, and asked the dozen generals to hand over their respective waist cards for troop transfer.

One of them said coldly: "This Great Song Dynasty is your Zhao family's country, we will give you the land, you have to give the territory to others, you are all to blame, and you have nothing to do with others." The eldest prince only frowned when he heard this, and did not say anything more.

The dozen or so generals stepped forward one after another, handed over their waist cards, and then brushed their sleeves and left.

The sycophant stepped forward, approached the eldest prince and asked, "These people dare to be so presumptuous, and now that they have handed over the military power in their respective hands, why don't they just kill them?"

The eldest prince shook his head and said: "These people have a high status in the government and the opposition, and it is not easy for me to explain if I killed my father at this time." After a few days of forbearance, after I defeated the Liao army and was made the prince, wouldn't it be easy to kill a few of them. It is somewhat unreasonable to kill a few of them with the military power I have seized, and after I win the Great Liao, I can put them to death for the crime of disturbing the morale of the army, isn't it justified. ”

The sycophants beside the eldest prince giggled with laughter, and shouted loudly to the eldest prince while laughing: "High, really high! Great prince, you are really resourceful." At this time, the sycophant was so forgetful that he forgot his identity, and put a hand on the shoulder of the eldest prince.

The eldest prince glanced at the sycophant, the sycophant reacted at this time, and quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, the eldest prince smiled coldly, stood up, and patted the man's shoulder. But the next moment, the eldest prince casually pointed to the two officers and made a motion to wipe his neck.

The two officers stepped forward, dragged the sycophant out directly, and cut him out of the tent, and the eldest prince said loudly: "Although I am approachable, but I also have a temper, I hope you can be sensible, understand what is the difference between respect and inferiority, but also understand what is untouchable, otherwise if you are not careful, you will become like him, understand?"

The crowd said weakly, "I see." Since then, the banquet has been silent. Seeing this scene, the eldest prince said again: "You don't have to be so restrained, let's continue to talk." ”

After hearing this, everyone just casually said a few perfunctory words, and the banquet ended.
