Chapter 456

The people of the law enforcement team of the Sui army began to check after Li Xiaozong's death. All the people who had close contacts with Li Xiaozong in the past three years were detained, including his 100 personal soldiers. These people were locked up in separate tents and guarded by Wanyan Chongde's cold cavalry. They were not allowed to talk to each other to prevent collusion.

Mou Liangbi, who is sitting in the handsome position, still doesn't adapt to this new role. From beginning to end, he plays the role of an assistant and considers how to make up for the incompleteness of the coach's thinking. And he was mostly responsible for logistics supplies. Suddenly, he sat in the position of presiding over military affairs. He was also a little flustered.

He was very close to Yang Kai, king of Xujun, and both of them were somewhat indecisive. However, Prince Xu was born in the military after all. He knew everything about military affairs like the back of his hand, and he could also convince the public. Strategically, his vision is far more distant than that of Mou Liangbi.

At the time of promotion, Fang Xie refused Mou Liangbi's invitation to sit beside him, but sat behind the generals.

"What do you think should be done with those confidants of Li Xiaozong?"

Mou Liangbi pondered for a moment and planned to solve the matter in front of him first. In fact, as a manager, he doesn't need to ask about such things. As the leader of the present army, his words and deeds are orders. So the generals sitting below were surprised and looked at each other with some surprise in their eyes.

Mou Liangbi was right to be cautious when he was assisting Prince Zuoxiu. But now the role has changed, but he still doesn't know how to give orders.

"But at your discretion!"

The generals answered, and Mou Liangbi immediately felt a little embarrassed.

He subconsciously glanced at Cui Zhongzhen. Cui Zhongzhen nodded to him and signaled you to decide.

"According to the truth..."

After sorting out the wording, Mou Liangbi said: "these people should have been dealt with according to the military law. After all, they are very close to Li Xiaozong. It is unknown whether they also collude with the rebels, but it is more than 100 lives after all..."

"Cough"

Cui Zhongzhen coughed and winked at Mou Liangbi. Mou Liangbi was stunned. He didn't know what was wrong in saying so. In his opinion, although those soldiers were close friends of Li Xiaozong, they were also soldiers of the great Sui Dynasty after all. Only dozens of people came with Li Xiaozong. Others may not have been involved in Li Xiaozong's plot.

"Your kindness is a blessing for us."

Cui Zhongzhen looked at Fang Xie. Fang Xie saw that the faces of the generals were a little ugly, and then stood up and said: "Before today's promotion, Lord Mou talked to me. Although these people have fought side by side with you, one flows blood and the other flows sweat. Lord Mou really can't bear to kill them. I admire such kindness. But Lord Mou also said that these people... Are excusable, but their sins are unforgivable."

"My Lord has told them before to give them a pleasure and not to be humiliated."

Cui Zhongzhen quickly stood up and said.

The generals are silent. Everyone can see that Cui Zhongzhen and Fang Xie are just looking for a step for MOU Liangbi. Zhai Xinren... How can Zhai Xinren lead the army? Some of these people must be innocent, between killing and not killing. It's reasonable not to kill. Killing is within the military law. But this is the army and this is the battlefield. If such people don't kill, who knows whether they will be killed tomorrow Wu betray?

How can such a woman lead the army?

"Er..."

Mou Liangbi also found something strange on the faces of the generals and quickly changed his mind: "yes... I just think many of them didn't follow Li Xiaozong from the beginning, but they were also wronged by him."

As soon as he said this, Cui Zhongzhen's face became more ugly.

What is wrong with such a thing?

"Someone"

He shouted to the outside, and immediately a soldier came in: "what do you want from the general?"

Cui Zhongzhen said, "my Lord told me that Li Xiaozong's confidants colluded with the rebels and plotted against them. Now Li Xiaozong has been ambushed and executed, and the rest of the criminals should be dealt with according to the military law. Take all those people to the middle of the camp and punish them with justice, so that the soldiers can see the fate of these people who eat inside and eat outside!"

"Here"

The first soldier answered and turned out.

Mou Liangbi sighed and didn't speak for a long time after he sat down again. The generals below looked at him and waited for him. Cui Zhongzhen, sitting on Mou Liangbi's side, pulled his sleeve and whispered, "it's time to discuss the matter of returning to the stronghold."

Mou Liangbi said well, took a deep breath and stood up: "before that, I still have something to say clearly."

He got down from the handsome position, walked to the middle of the big tent and slowly glanced at the people: "As you all know, I'm a civil servant. I'm not familiar with military affairs, and my temperament is really not suitable for making decisions. You pushed me as handsome. I was moved by your trust in me. But for the sake of this team and the wealth and life of tens of thousands of soldiers, I think... I should give up this position."

"I am willing to continue to control the logistics and do my duty as an aide. I still think the most suitable person to lead this team now is general Fang."

"My Lord"

Fang Xie hugged his fist and said, "you just haven't adapted. Don't belittle yourself. It seems that adults should calm down."

Cui Zhongzhen also said: "the master general has been determined, and then change the candidate, the morale of the army is unstable."

Mou Liangbi was stunned and shook his head: "I didn't sleep all night yesterday. I've been thinking about whether I have the ability to lead the team well. But no matter what I think, I don't think I'm suitable to be the coach. I know it, but things in my temperament are difficult to change."

"How about..."

Cui Zhongzhen was silent for a moment and said, "it's an unalterable thing to respect adults now. In terms of seniority, prestige and official positions, adults deserve it. The officers and men of the three armed forces are naturally willing to obey adults' orders. If adults have anything difficult to decide in military affairs, they will put forward it for everyone's discussion and do it according to the decision after discussion."

Fang Xie sighed and knew that Cui Zhongzhen had no choice.

The commander-in-chief made no decision, but took it out to the generals to discuss... Where is the prestige?

……

……

More than 100 heads were cut off, and many of the soldiers who were watching clapped their hands. Li Xiaozong had two things that the soldiers could not forgive. First, he killed the king of Xujun to seize military power, and hypocritically shouted the slogan of revenge for the king of Xujun. Second, he is a spy sent by Li Yuanshan. I don't know which day ten thousand people and horses may be destroyed in his hands.

As for those who died with Li Xiaozong, it doesn't matter whether they are innocent or not. If Li Xiaozong finally wins in another position, he will never hesitate to ask such a question. If Luo Yao were to be replaced, he would not even go through the interrogation and directly kill a clean one.

Fang Xie's Shanzi camp and Yangzi camp have opened and merged into the Sui army.

In Fang Xie's military account, Cui Zhongzhen couldn't help sighing.

"When Lord Mou stood behind the Lord, he didn't feel well. He was a good official and a qualified marching manager, but he was really lack of determination. Although you and I made a round for him today, the people below were not fools. Their confidence in Lord Mou immediately fell to the bottom of the Valley. They are all experienced people. They know what it means to lead an unqualified commander And if they all lose confidence, even the best soldiers will have no fighting power. "

Fang Xie smiled and said, "it's not as serious as you said. Just give Mr. Mou some time to adapt. People's temperament can't be changed, but people's habits can be changed."

"What I'm worried about now is..."

Cui Zhongzhen said: "once on the battlefield, in the face of thousands of troops, can master Mou make a correct judgment!"

"It's not suitable to start troops in severe winter"

Wanyan Chongde said, "my people are better, but Sui people can't. the team will leave and return to the stronghold tomorrow. We have a winter break, and there will be a way."

Cui Zhongzhen shook his head: "the Lord general can't frighten the following generals. It's a big taboo in the army. The longer the day drags, the more unfavorable it will be."

"Jue Xiao"

He looked at Fang Xie and said: "In any case, you have to fight for the future. I know it's unfair to your people, but as long as you take care of the rear of the army, the soldiers will certainly respect you more. Lord Mou is not suitable to be the master general, and no one else will disagree. You are the only one who is most suitable. Now the only thing missing is prestige, so you must fight some beautiful battles as soon as possible 。”

Chen Dongshan and Lu Fenghou looked at each other, and then nodded at the same time: "general Cui is right. After we break up, the rebels may not dare to kill us. Even if we kill them, the mobs have nothing to fear. Now that we have arrived here, we must stand firm and not let others look down on us."

Fang Xie sat down and took a sip of tea: "what I think now is... What arrangements did Li Xiaozong make before he died?"

Everyone was puzzled when he suddenly changed the topic.

"He wants to kill you to eradicate the hidden danger."

Fang Xie glanced at Cui Zhongzhen: "after killing you?"

Wanyan Chongde said, "naturally, it's against Master Mou. As long as Master Mou dies, no one in the army can threaten him."

"That's right."

Fang Xie nodded: "he didn't dare to blatantly kill Master Mou. There must be some arrangements. If you were Li Xiaozong, how would he arrange it?"

The crowd fell silent and could not imagine for a moment. Li Xiaozong could kill Cui Zhongzhen under any pretext, but Mou Liangbi. He would never dare to be so hasty. If he wanted to completely control the army, he must have some perfect arrangements.

"According to the humble position, the best way is..."

Sun Kaidao tightened his clothes and still felt that the weather was too cold to bear: "kill with a knife."

This seemingly emaciated scholar never spoke. He was dissatisfied with Fang Xie's failure to directly take over the Sui army, so he seemed a little silent. In his opinion, Fang Xie's worry can be avoided. Fang Xie has the status of imperial envoy, and no one is more noble than him. It is natural to take over. If someone is not convinced, it will be dealt with according to the military law, unless these people don't admit themselves It's from the big Sui Dynasty, otherwise it can be subdued.

If someone refuses, make an example.

When Fang Xie mentioned Li Xiaozong's arrangement, he couldn't help but speak.

This sentence killed with a knife immediately changed the faces of the people present.

……

……

Fang Xie went to the gate of the big tent, looked at the sand rolled up by the wind outside and murmured, "kill with a knife... Where is the knife?"

If shanziying and yangziying are broken, will they touch this knife that they don't know where to hide? Although Li Xiaozong was dead, if he had made arrangements before that, it would be impossible to prevent him.
