Yin Li and Li Shu had serious differences over whether to severely punish the generals who disobeyed the military order. Finally, Yin Li made concessions. He could not kill the generals, but one thing is that the mastermind must be severely punished.
Yin Li believes that it is no accident that the generals disobeyed the military order together this time. There must be someone who is the mastermind. He can let bygones be bygones, but the mastermind must be engaged in military justice, which is also the biggest concession he can make.
He has shown the bottom line, and Li Shu can't say more. He acquiesced in Yin Li's decision, and their dispute came to an end.
Then Yin Li came close to the generals and said, "this time, the generals disobeyed the commander's military order together. There must be a leading mastermind among them. Who is the mastermind among you? Now take the initiative to stand up!"
The generals looked at each other, all at a loss. What mastermind? What is Yin Li talking about?
There was really no mastermind among them. None of the generals paid attention to Yin Li. No one would pay attention to his general order. This collective resistance to the order was entirely their spontaneous behavior, and no one instigated it at all.
Seeing that they didn't speak, Yin Li's face was gloomy and snorted coldly, He said firmly: "now the general comes to intercede for you. I can exempt you from the death penalty, but the mastermind must be sentenced to death to make an example. Now if you take the initiative to stand up, only you will be killed. If you refuse to stand up, don't blame me for being unkind. Today, you will be beheaded."
Hearing his words, the faces of the generals changed at the same time. This time, they really didn't have a mastermind. How can they admit it?
"Yin... General Yin, we are not provoked by some people, but... But..." a Zhen general hesitated.
"Death is coming. You are still shielding the mastermind. Even if I want to spare your life, I can't help it." Yin Li shook his head, turned back to Li Shu and said, "general, the mastermind refused to admit it, and the generals refused to tell who was the mastermind. The last general can only kill all the generals!" Before Li Shu could reply, Yin Li fiercely shouted to the executioners, "ready to execute!"
The executioners grinned secretly one by one, but the commander-in-chief had orders. They didn't dare to disobey orders. People hardened their scalp and slowly raised the ghost head knife in their hands.
Seeing this, Li Shu's sweating came out. He was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, but there was nothing he could do. Looking at the ghostly swords flashing cold light in the air, the generals involuntarily whispered in their hearts that they were finished. Now they have seen that Yin Li is the son of a bitch who eats the weight and wants to kill them. It is a great shame to think that he failed to die in front of the two armies, but wanted to die by his own knife.
Yin Li looked around at the crowd and raised his hand. When he was about to wave his hand to order the execution, a Zhen general roared fiercely: "wait a minute!"
Hearing the cry, people's eyes fell on the Zhen general. The man is in his thirties and under his forties. He is tall and powerful. His appearance is ferocious. He is full of horizontal flesh and an oblique scar on his face, which is even more ferocious.
This is the senior general of the rebel army, Chen Kui. He was born as a mountain bandit and one of the first old people to follow Li Shu. He can be regarded as Li Shu's confidant and made great contributions to the rebels.
Yin Li looked at him puzzled and asked, "General Chen, what else do you want to say before your execution?"
Chen Kui glared at Yin Li, gnashing his teeth and said, "Yin Li, aren't you looking for the mastermind? Ben will be the mastermind! If you want to kill me, it has nothing to do with other brothers!"
"Ah!" Yin Li nodded and said calmly, "General Chen would have been fine if he had stood up early. Why would he have bothered other generals?"
With these words, he turned back again and said to Li Shu, "general, the mastermind Chen Kui has admitted his crime and should be punished according to law. Please order the execution!"
Li Shu looked at Chen Kui eagerly, his lips trembling, and he didn't speak for a long time.
Chen Kui also looked at Li Shu. His eyes were red and his tears swirled in his eyes. He shouted, "the last general can't fight with the great general in the future. I just hope the great general can recover my great Zhen, and the last general can also smile!"
Listening to his words, Li Shu's tears immediately flowed down.
Yin Li frowned and reminded again, "please order the general to execute!" Li Shu didn't seem to hear what he said and walked towards Chen Kui. Seeing this, Yin Li didn't wait for his order, but instead shouted to the executioner, "execute!"
When he spoke, the light from his eyes made the executioner tremble. How dare he neglect and chop down the ghost knife in the air with all his strength. The light of the knife flashed and the blood splashed. Hearing a click, Chen Kui's head fell in response.
"Chen Kui!" Li Shu saw it clearly and couldn't help shouting. He blacked out and nearly fainted on the spot. His body shook back and forth. He might have collapsed to the ground on the spot if it wasn't for the quick help of the guards around him.
He slowed down for a long time before he came back. Then, he threw himself on Chen Kui's body and burst into tears.
Li Shuzhi cried sadly, and all the generals around him burst into tears. Many generals cried and said, "General Chen, he died unjustly..." he exchanged his life for everyone's life.
Looking at Li Shu and the generals crying together, Yin Li had no expression on his face. He waved to the surrounding guards and said, "the mastermind who provoked the generals to disobey the military order has been brought to justice, but the generals can be exempted from the death penalty, and the living crime is hard to forgive. Each person is heavily responsible for 50 military sticks, which will be executed immediately!"
Chen Kui's death ended the storm of three fires after the new official took office.
It seems that this is just a trivial storm, and Chen Kui, who is not very powerful, died. However, this incident has a far-reaching impact. It has played an exemplary role to a great extent.
From then on, no one dared not pay attention to Yin Li, and no one dared to disobey Yin Li's military order from top to bottom in the Zhen army. Yin Li took the throne of the commander of the three armed forces with an iron and blood wrist.
Through the killing of Chen Kui, Yin Li succeeded in winning prestige, while Li Shu consolidated people's hearts. They both took what they needed and performed a bitter meat trick that was half true and half false.
It must be noted that Li Shu and Yin Li did not discuss in advance. They achieved some tacit understanding temporarily. But for Chen Kui's death, Li Shu didn't pretend to be sad. He felt that Chen Kui's death was meaningful, but it was true.
Since Li Shu decided to reuse Yin Li, he has the responsibility to establish his prestige in the army. It is worth sacrificing a Chen Kui to do this. Moreover, Li Shu himself is very clear that Zhen army has indeed reached the degree of extinction without governance. He did not manage Zhen army well before. Military discipline is loose, so he will not become a general and a soldier, It's not that he doesn't want to manage the army well, but that he can't help it. Most of the generals in the army are his brothers and brothers. They follow him through life and death with their heads. No matter who they scold, he's not easy to speak. Now he can get out of the matter and stop worrying about the problem of managing the army.
Li Shu and Yin Li, the master and servant, can be called a natural couple. One is a white face and the other is a red face. They will subdue the most difficult soldiers of the Zhen army. Of course, these are the later words.
Since Yin Li became the commander-in-chief of the Zhen army, the Zhen army has changed greatly. Sooner or later, the officers and soldiers in the army will take on a new look.
While paying close attention to the training, Yin Li also secretly dispatched troops to the western border in batches. However, the camp of Zhen army has not changed, and it is still the original scale, making the illusion that the strength of Zhen army has not decreased.
Shortly after Yin Li became the commander-in-chief of the rebels, the battle for the throne of the court of the state of Sichuan finally came to an end. Xiao Xiang became the first female monarch in the history of the state of Sichuan with an absolute advantage.
When Xiao Xiang ascended the throne, the main local army had been disarmed by her, and there was no threat to her. Without worries, Xiao Xiang began to point the spearhead at the rebels in Zhenxi.
Soon, Zhang situ sent a letter to Chen Lihua, who was stationed in Zhenxi, telling him that the five princesses had succeeded to the throne successfully. Now it was time for his own side to eliminate the rebels. He asked him to immediately assemble his troops and give the last blow to the surviving rebels. In addition, he also mentioned that the king had sent LV you to lead the 10th regiment to Zhenxi to reinforce him.
Chen Lihua was very excited to learn that Xiao Xiang had succeeded to the throne. He was even more excited to hear that LV you personally led the army to reinforce himself, but he didn't wait for LV you's reinforcements.
It's too far from Zhaoyang to Zhendi. The journey is more than a thousand miles. It takes at least two or three months to march at the speed of the Legion. He can't wait that long. Moreover, he is eager to send a gift to Xiao Xiang's succession to the throne. In his opinion, there is no gift more appropriate than the gift of exterminating the rebels.
He assembled all the Sichuan army, composed of the remnants of the fourth regiment of the ninth, eleventh, sixteenth and seventeenth, and formed a 250000 strong army, which killed the rebels in Bainan county with great fanfare.
To make a long story short, ten days later, the powerful Sichuan army arrived at the junction of Bainan county and fantiao county. Looking at the shabby Zhenjun camp opposite, most of the Sichuan army officers and men were sneering at it, but Chen Lihua dared not have the slightest carelessness.
Zhenjun's combat effectiveness can not be judged by common sense. Even if Zhenjun's officers and soldiers take wooden sticks, their combat effectiveness is still amazing. Chen Lihua ordered the whole army to rest for a day and took the opportunity to inquire about the situation of Zhenying camp.
However, most of the spies sent by the Sichuan army have no return. It can be seen that the defense of Zhenying camp is still very strict, and the surrounding is full of secret sentries of Zhenjun.
