Chapter 107: Helpless
Jiao Yong came out of the room and stretched, only feeling refreshed. When I looked up, I saw Liang Nengwei standing in his yard, looking extremely lonely. There were several of their own generals standing next to him, each holding a waist knife, looking at Liang Nengwei.
Jiao Yong was taken aback and said, "What's the matter?" I got drunk last night, what happened later? ”
Liang Nengwei looked at Jiao Yong, shook his head, and said unwillingly: "Taiwei, Longzhou raised the city and surrendered, but why did you slaughter the city last night?" ”
Jiao Yong was confused for a while, and said, "What are you talking about?" After drinking, I went back to sleep. What slaughter of the city? - What did you say? Longzhou City was signed? What's going on?! ”
A general said: "Last night, there was a rebellion among the party members, which caused everyone in the city to rebel. The army and soldiers put down the chaos, and there was no choice but to slaughter the city. ”
Jiao Yong looked at several generals, and after a while, he said, "Why didn't anyone call me!" This kind of big thing, why don't you call me! ”
Another general said: "It's not a big deal, why wake up the captain?" A little thing, my own sons do it. ”
Jiao Yong looked at a few people and knew that they all knew, but they were just hiding it from themselves. Too lazy to ask them, he strode out of the state office and looked at the scene on the street outside. I saw that the streets on both sides were littered with corpses, some houses were still smoking, and there were weeping women and children on the side of the road from time to time.
Liang Nengwei followed out from inside, pointed to the street, and said in a loud voice: "Captain, if the soldiers want money, just open your mouth and let the people make it up!" Why bother! The whole city was full of people, and most of them were killed. I have already surrendered to my men, and there is not one left! ”
Jiao Yong's face changed, and after a long while, he turned around abruptly and said sharply: "What nonsense are you talking about!" If you have surrendered, it must be your subordinates who are not convinced, so you have caused this disaster! My soldiers are disciplined, how could they do such a thing! If you dare to talk nonsense again, you will be cut down with a knife, and it will be counted as the first evil! Come on, catch the first evil of the trouble, and don't ask about cooperation! ”
Several generals looked at each other and smiled, walked forward quickly, and said yes with forked hands.
After the reorganization of the forbidden army, many rules were also changed. There was no promotion fee for sending troops to fight, there was no reward before the war, and the capture after the war had to be returned to the public, mainly rewarded for military merit and official position. For the soldiers who can retire from the camp, these are acceptable, but for the veterans of the forbidden army, it feels extremely awkward. Di Qing knew that the army was unstable, so he kept the army together and watched it himself. Now that the division of troops is begins, this kind of thing is almost inevitable.
From September to now, it has been five months, and Han Qi has made meritorious contributions, and these generals and soldiers can still accept their fate. After breaking Lingzhou and attacking Hengshan, it will be unbearable no matter what. After so many victories and no reward, is it not in vain? Last night, some soldiers began to rob the people's property, and they could not stop it, and finally developed into slaughtering and looting the city. The generals couldn't restrain their soldiers at all, so they simply joined in.
Jiao Yong has been in the army for decades, and when he looks at the scene outside, he guesses what happened. The forbidden army is arrogant, and it can't be stopped at this time anyway, so just admit it. Longzhou is leading the troops by himself, as long as he says that he is surrendering troops to make chaos, who dares to ask what?
Returning to the official hall, Jiao Yong sat down and said to Liang Nengwei: "Although the troops are in chaos, you have no way to control it. However, the fact that you were here drinking with us last night has nothing to do with it. I'll write a recital in a moment, and you will sign it to explain last night's turmoil! ”
Liang Nengwei looked around, closed his eyes, and couldn't say a word. The party's army surrendered without a fight, it has happened many times, why is it so miserable? Everyone else is safe and sound, and they themselves cause the slaughter of the city.
It was hastily arranged, Jiao Yong was too lazy to take care of it, and returned to the back office. As soon as he entered the house, he saw a woman who had accompanied him last night, stabbing at him with a pair of scissors. Jiao pulled her to the ground with a casual pull, and said sharply: "What are you doing!" ”
The woman looked at Jiao Yong and cried: "Last night, you occupied my body and sent troops to kill my whole family, I fought for my life and died with you!" ”
After saying that, he took the scissors and stabbed him again.
Jiao Yong raised a kick, kicked the woman aside, and scolded: "It's really bad luck! There is no safe place! ”
After speaking, ignoring the two women in the room, he walked out of the room quickly and arrived at the official hall in front.
In the Xiazhou official hall, Di Qing looked at the performance sent by Jiao Yong, slammed the table, stood up and said sharply: "This rammed goods, how dare you rob the army!" Since the Zhenrong army sent troops, the officials in the DPRK don't know much about us, and he provoked this kind of thing again, how can the DPRK and China let us go! ”
Zhang Yu picked up the note, read it hastily, and couldn't help frowning and said: "After breaking Lingzhou, the party and the army are already frightened." Everywhere they went, most of them looked at the wind and surrendered, how could there be troops to make trouble? I'm afraid that Jiao Yong is lying. ”
Di Qing said: "It must be." When we attack Xiazhou, we go down without a fight, and the party outside is honest, how can we make a mess? It must have been that after Jiao Yong entered the city, he plundered the army, for fear that the court would investigate it, so he found this excuse. ”
After speaking, he sat behind the desk with his head as big as a bucket, and he trembled with anger.
Zhang Yu said: "If the performance is sent like this, the court must not believe it." Ke Jiaoyong not only plundered the troops, but also said that the killing of the surrendered soldiers was his own military merit, and he wanted to receive a reward from the imperial court. If you don't play, you're afraid. ”
Di Qing shook his head and said, "Of course not. Jiao Yong's 5,000-strong army is in Longzhou, which is the intersection of the Suide Army and Yan'an Mansion, if we force it tightly, he really wants to set up a rebellion, and the disaster is not small. Immediately bring back his soldiers and horses, so that it can be disposed of. ”
After speaking, he was worried for a while. Along the Wuding River, Longzhou happened to be a salient, and there was no army nearby, so there was no way to start for a while. At this time, he suddenly adjusts the focus and uses it back, he will inevitably be suspicious, and he may not listen to orders. At this time, if there is any other mess, Di Qing himself can't say clearly. This time the troops were dispatched, but the action was slow, and the officials of the DPRK and China were already dissatisfied with Di Qing and caused a big incident, where would they let him go.
Zhang Yu said: "Taiwei, why don't I go to Longzhou." Take the Jiao and use it back, and see which one says what! ”
Di Qing thought for a while, and said, "That's it, Longzhou has been slaughtered, and there are no big cities around, let Jiao use it there first." Wait until we capture Shizhou and Yinzhou, join forces with Xia Taiwei of Yanyan Road, and then let Jiao Yong rendezvous with Yinzhou. At that time, I was not afraid of him making trouble. ”
The important place of the party in the Hengshan area is arranged along the infinite river. After the capture of Yinzhou, there was no longer a large force of troops, and Hengshan was basically pacified. At that time, the whole army will meet, and I will not be afraid to clean up the scorch.
Zhang Yu nodded, feeling unlucky for a while. Originally, after breaking through Lingzhou, the whole army wanted to fight a beautiful battle in Hengshan and save face in front, but they didn't want this kind of thing to happen.
After thinking about it, Zhang Yu said: "After fighting before the war, the army distributed money before the war, won the battle, and was rewarded richly. This dispatch was different from the previous ones, and the army did not issue money before the war, nor did it issue rewards after the war. Many veterans in the army were very dissatisfied, and after occupying the city, they would inevitably start to think crookedly. If Jiao Yong is not punished, I am afraid that other generals will do the same. ”
Di Qing nodded: "I'm also embarrassed about this matter." Punish Jiao Yong, I am afraid that he will be unstable in the army, and he will run into Linyan Road to make trouble, which will really be a shame! But if they don't care, they are afraid that other generals will follow them and cause more trouble. In addition to the big cities in the Hengshan area, there are also many party walled cities scattered everywhere, and the generals are slaughtered all the way, where are there still party people willing to surrender? ”
This is the stubborn disease of the original forbidden army, the commander is not well controlled by the subordinate generals, and lacks means. The soldiers are in the hands of the commander-in-chief, and when it comes to wartime, the commander-in-chief does not obey the commander-in-chief's orders, and many times cannot be disposed of. It is not possible to rely on killing Liwei, if you kill one, the other commanders will inevitably beat the drum in their hearts and disobey the command. There is no absolute authority, no special ability, no one dares to do this.
The subordinates were in chaos, and Jiao Yong's first reaction when he saw it was to admit it immediately. Di Qing also had no choice, even if he objected to what Jiao Yong did, he couldn't punish him immediately. And if it can't be punished immediately, there is a possibility that other generals will follow suit.
