Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Generals Are at Odds
"General, why are you standing still here?"
"Xiangzhou City is a hundred miles away, we arrived here at noon, and the general ordered to stay here, what is the reason?"
Gu Yong, the general of the Right Guard, and Zhao Feidu, the general of the Right Guard, were subordinates, but they questioned Huang Yu loudly, and they were rude.
Huang Yan glanced at the generals in the account and didn't say a word, he knew that these people were not convinced, but as a leading general, now that the army was going out to fight, he should focus on the overall situation, and he was a little angry in his heart, but he could only endure it, and when they were all finished, he would speak again.
Zhan Tai Jingming, the general of the Right Xiao Cavalry Guard, did not speak, and sat there without saying a word, but his gaze at Huang Xuan was quite cold, and there was a trace of hatred in it.
In front of the Manchu Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, even if he sent troops to Yingzhou, he would never make it a leading general, hearing the news, Zhan Tai Jingming was overjoyed, among the right army of the forbidden army, in terms of qualifications, background and prestige, no one can compare with himself, if Huang Zhi was kicked away, this time he sent troops to Yingzhou, he will be very likely to be appointed by the emperor as a leading general.
It's a pity that he hasn't been happy for a few days, and the news that Zhan Tai Jingming is angry came, Huang Zhi entered the palace several times to ask to see the emperor, but was summoned by Zhao Zhi but did not see him, and he had the intention to make him ugly, and finally had to persuade Liu Wei, the left minister, Zhao Zhi was a little calmer and summoned Huang Zhi.
Huang bowed his head and pleaded guilty, and his words and attitude were extremely sincere.
Zhao Zhinian and Huang Zhi guarded Jing Pingguan for many years, worked very hard, and finally forgave him, and then the opinions of the ministers of the political hall reached an agreement, and decided to send troops to attack Zheng Ze, the envoy of Yingzhou Jiedu, Zhao Zhi immediately accepted Huang Zhi as the governor of Pingnan and led the army to march.
The generals originally had contempt for this mediocre general's nickname, after leaving the pass, Huang ordered the army to slow down and move forward, which led the generals to be quite dissatisfied, this morning, the army finally entered the territory of Xiangzhou, Xiangzhou defense envoy Liu Xiang sent a deputy general to come to condole, saying that the barracks had been repaired outside the city of Xiangzhou, and the wine, vegetables, grain and grass were prepared for the army.
Everyone rushed for half a month, physically and mentally tired, and they were all overjoyed when they heard it, who knows, Huang Yu chatted with the deputy general sent by Liu Xiang for a few words, sent him away, and then did not lead the army to Xiangzhou City, but ordered the army to camp in situ, waiting for the arrival of the army's grain and grass baggage troops.
In the evening, Huang Xuan convened everyone to discuss the matter in the tent, and before he could say a word, except for the general of the left guard, Shan Qiu, who had not yet arrived in the rear, the rest of the four generals all spoke out to question Huang Chen.
"Brother Liu, they quarrel so fiercely, you don't care?"
Although Li Xun is a judge of the prison army, he actually does not have any official rank, and the first time he joined the army, he was able to participate in this kind of high-level meeting, and he was undoubtedly very excited, but what surprised Li Xun was that things were different from what he imagined, why did everyone start arguing before they could say a word? and has a tendency to make personal attacks on Huang Zhen.
Liu Congxi smiled and said softly: "As a prison army, I only manage the army, regardless of people, they can make noise as much as they want, but I am happy to watch the excitement." ”
Li Xun has an easy-going and generous personality, and does not look down on Liu Congxi's identity as a eunuch, after half a month of getting along, the relationship between the two is getting better and better, Li Xun is called Liu Congxi Brother Liu, Liu Congxi is called Li Xun's nickname dog, the two are commensurate with brothers, of course, there is also Li Xun's aunt is Li Yi's relationship, but Li Xun's character and personality, Liu Congxi likes it in his heart and is willing to be close to him.
"Brother Gou'er, I saw the old man sitting next to Huang Chen, his name is Qin Anming, he is the imperial history of the army, his duties are the opposite of mine, only manage people, regardless of the army, if there are any contradictions between the main generals, he will naturally come forward to reconcile."
Li Xun raised his eyes and saw that there was an old man who was nearly fifty years old sitting next to Huang Xun, with a thin figure, a serious expression, and a meticulous temperament, giving people a very upright and stern feeling.
The march of the army is actually a very boring thing, in the past half a month, Li Xun has spent most of his time in the carriage with Liu Congxi, occasionally riding a horse to wander around the army, chatting with Zhu Zhengguo and Yan Yi or something, the upper echelons of the army, Li Xun has finally seen them one by one today.
"General, the emperor ordered us to crusade against Zheng Ze's rebellion, but you are procrastinating here and hesitating, so that Zheng Ze has enough time to prepare for the war, if the war is unfavorable, the emperor blames it, whose fault is it?"
Gu Yong and Zhao Feidu, two generals, questioned loudly there, but Huang Zhi was silent and ignored it, and a general standing behind Zhan Tai Jingming knew that his general was extremely dissatisfied with Huang Chen, so he stood up and shouted at Huang Zhi and asked.
Huang Xuan glanced at this person, looked at Zhan Tai Jingming again, and his face suddenly became gloomy.
Qin Anming frowned and looked at the Asian general, and said quite unhappily: "General Wang, pay attention to your identity, Huang Yan is guilty or not, it is not you who have the final say, but the emperor has the final say, as a second general, you dare to slander the leading general, do you know what the crime is?" ”
Yajiang's face changed suddenly, he was not afraid of Huang Xuan, but he was extremely afraid of Qin Anming, if he wrote to the emperor for this crime, he would definitely come to a catastrophe.
"Qin Yushi, the last general was impulsive and said the wrong thing, and he will never dare to do it again in the future."
Admiral knelt down on one knee and bowed his head in confession.
"Wang Hu, how can you have the qualifications to speak here, give me a retreat."
"Yes, General!"
Wang Hu got up and retreated behind Zhan Tai Jingming.
Qin Anming glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "General Huang Xuan summoned you here to discuss military affairs, discuss matters, don't say anything else, it is beyond the scope of deliberations. ”
Zhan Tai Jingming stood up, arched his hand at Huang Yu and said, "General, since you have summoned me and others to come, you must have made a decision in your heart, please tell me clearly." ”
Huang Yu nodded and said: "My meaning is very simple, when the rear army arrives with heavy grain and grass, do not make a strategy to divide the troops, and the whole army will go straight to Yingzhou to find the enemy for a decisive battle." ”
Liu Congxi also spoke at this time: "Before the army set out, the emperor also meant this, a quick battle, and the general had a very good intention. ”
The generals looked at each other and whispered.
Zhan Tai Jingming glanced at Huang Zhi coldly, Liu Congxi, the supervisor and Qin Anming, the imperial historian, were both on Huang Chen's side, what else could he say?
"That being the case, the last general should return to the camp to prepare the army and horses, and be at the disposal of the general at any time."
Zhan Tai Jingming arched his hand, shook his hand, made a cold face, and turned to leave.
