On the tenth day of the fifth month of the eighteenth year of the Longsheng Period, in the Zhige Hall in the middle courtyard of the Beijun Mansion, Su Ce arrived early and sat down at the main seat of the hall.
Before Su Ce could wait too long, Gong Xiangcheng of Chu State came to the Northern Army Mansion in a low-key manner with the "streamlined" Northern Army nobles.
After greeting Su Ce, the twelve nobles headed by Gong Xiangcheng of Chu State went to the left hall. Everyone greeted Su Ce, but Su Ce had no communication with Gong Xiangcheng of Chu State, but
The two exchanged glances, and Su Ce understood that this was a powerful figure in the Northern Army Mansion, and he was also the leader of the Northern Army after cleaning up.
Su Ce has been in charge of the affairs of the Northern Army Mansion for several months. As the leader of the Northern Army, he also knows the secrets of the Northern Army. There is no title of military leader under the Duke of Chu, but there is Yueyang County under him.
Gongzhao Tan and Gongyun River in Lantian County.
These two people, Duke Zhao Tan of Yueyang County, were born into the royal family and were the supervisors of the entire Northern Army. Gong Yunxi of Lantian County did not have outstanding military achievements, but they were the stewards of the entire Northern Army. Su Ce gave the Northern Army
The money and food were all handed over to Gongyunxi in Lantian County for distribution.
In addition to these three people, there are nine other people, three county princes and six county princes, representing the three major and six small armies of the Northern Army, nine military leaders, Guangping County Duke Liu Ji, Rencheng County Duke Yan Zheng, Fufeng County
Gong Zhouwei, Gonggong Xizhuan of Nanling County, Gongsun Zong of Duling County, Gongzong Zhengdingjun of Xinfeng County, Gong Youyong of Zheng County, Gongmengbin of Huayin County, Gongnong Chongshan of Gaoping County.
Although these nine people have different titles, they are veteran nobles with prominent family backgrounds based on hundreds of years of fighting. The Northern Army has many soldiers, and the military knights are even more prominent.
After a while, the heads of the Beijun generals also came to the Beijun Mansion one after another. However, some people were invited to the right hall of Zhige Hall, while others were left in Zhige Hall.
In the right hall of the Zhige Hall, Su Ce had only thirty-six chairs placed. This meant that the Northern Army would only have thirty-six general families left in the future, and the heads of the remaining general families were restless in the Zhige Hall.
In the right hall, Li Suifeng, Yuan Jingyuan, Huyan Tuotuo, and Xu Mingshan were at the forefront. Each of their four families was assigned five purple-clad generals, and they were also the top four generals of the Northern Army.
As for the other general family heads, they were clearly divided into three large circles.
Guan Chenhua, Gong Qinghe, Xu Shanyue are the generals of Hedong Road, Huang Qingyang, Fang Jiming, Zhou Jizhen, Zhang Youqi, Yao Jinhe are the generals of Guannai Road, and Dugu Xin is the general of Longyou Road. Everyone chats according to the region, and Dugu Xin is a little boring.
, these nine people are the nine sects of the Northern Army.
Among the lower eight sects, because Tong Zhenyuan, Yu Hean, Sun Shaoze, Bai Weimeng, and Liu Yiheng, the five generals of Guannei Road, were surrounded by the circle of Guanbei Road, Wang Wuping and Gao Keshan went to the generals of Hedong Road, and they had equal status.
I could only chat about family matters with the remaining Xia Wenjun. After all, they came from Longyou Road, so they naturally felt close to each other.
The Dugu family has the same roots as the Daqian people, but their ancestors failed to live up to their expectations and were captured in battle and mixed with the barbarians. Later, during the turmoil in Daqi, the Dugu family led their people to seek refuge with Taizu Qian.
Following the merits of the dragon, he was awarded the title of nobility, and all the family heads in the past generations also strived for success, and this is how he became famous today.
Jiadinghua, Hui Kangping, Bao Zhoushuo, Guo Lingji, Jin Shoudao, Chen Weiyuan, Che Fukun, Sang Chengming, Gu Zongxu, Fan Lichun, Zhuo Tianran, Wang Yangxiang, Geng Yanfeng, Xing Erlang and Xiao Zhongping are the fifteen people of Su
Those who came up with Ce Yi were called the "Wai Shi Fifteen" in the army. The word "Wai" showed that their Fifteen Families were newly promoted generals.
A total of thirty-six people, representing the generals of the Northern Army. In addition, there are also heads of generals in Zhige Hall. However, compared to the nobles in the left hall, they do not have a chair for the heads of generals in the right hall.
Sit down and all stand in the Zhi Ge Hall.
Because they can no longer be called generals of the Northern Army in the future, Su Ce invited them here today to clear them out of the Northern Army.
Su Ce has always had a clear distinction between grudges and grievances in his career. Although he does not have to retaliate for his teeth, he is not a broad-minded person. Before, he had to take care of the old commander's face, but when the old commander's face will be used up, Li Hongtao wants to establish the Xiangjunfu.
Although Su Ce didn't give anyone, he gave him a lot of money. He had been assassinated dozens of times in just a few months. He really thought that Su Ce was a soft persimmon that anyone could pinch.
Lu Yichen, the head of the Lu family, used to serve under the old commander. He used to have a transcendent status in the army. He knew that although he was not as good as the upper four sects, he should be better than the middle nine sects. However, Su Ce was a purple-robed general this time.
None of them were given to the Lu family. There were eight other families who suffered similar fate to the Lu family, so the Lu family was headed by Song Fuhu from the Song family, Ge Lizhou from the Ge family, Jiao Fengwu from the Jiao family, Qin Changwen from the Qin family, Fan Jinghe from the Fan family, and Duan Zhenchuan from the Duan family.
Eight people including Wu Chunchao from the Wu family and Gai Dingyuan from the Gai family also participated.
Just because the nine of them once served under the old commander, they believed that they would follow him on the battlefield and risk their lives. They also looked down upon Su Ce and made some complaints in the army, but the nine of them didn't think about it.
, Su Ce's methods can force the old commander to ruin his reputation and retreat to Nanshan. What kind of trouble can the nine of them make?
It was also because of the arrogance of the old commander that Xin Mi in the army never informed that these nine people had been killed in the Nanshan Mountain of Gongxiang City of the Chu State. Instigated by the honorable nobles, they had an evil heart and tried to assassinate Su Ce and bring trouble to the Chu State.
The prince issued a certificate of surrender, and then appointed Xiang Lan, the prince of the Chu Kingdom, as the military leader. By then, fame, fortune and fortune would be at hand.
Why did Su Ce always sit firmly in the main camp of the Chinese army in the past two years and never go into battle? It was not because he got a secret report. Someone in the army intended to make Su Ce make a mistake on the battlefield, but Su Ce did not use his body to lure the enemy, and did not
They were not given a chance, and now they are being idle in the army, and they are not even being given a general position in the future.
Dogs can climb the wall when they are in a hurry, and these killers on the battlefield think of assassination. However, there are no swords and guns on the battlefield. Everyone depends on their ability, but Chang'an has Chang'an's rules.
After all, Su Ce was still a little soft-hearted. They were guys with muscles growing into their heads. Su Ce looked at the panic of the nine people and felt bored in his heart.
After thinking for a long time and changing the tea twice, Su Ce said: "A few days ago, I met some ignorant people. Chang'an City is so lively. Lu Yichen, tell me, when did Hedong Road open?
Has Heng Dao arrived in Chang'an City?"
Su Ce's words left cold sweat on Lu Yichen's forehead, and he said with a smile in his mouth: "This matter, this matter, my subordinates don't know."
"I don't know?" Su Ce sneered. He really didn't cry until he saw the coffin. He was used as a knife and he didn't even know it until now.
"Years ago, the Duke of Chu led his people to Nanshan for winter hunting. They encountered a tide of beasts, but many nobles died. There are many people here who are very close to you, Lu Yichen, but there is something about a family that I don't understand.
, when will the nobles of the Lu family of Hedong Road and Chang'an City be able to sit together and eat together? Is it because of the rudeness in you or your useless heads who only know how to kill people!" After Su Ce finished speaking, he clapped his hands.
, Luo Yang and Xuanwu Guards carried up a large box.
Su Ce raised his chin, and Luo Yang bent down and opened the box on the floor.
Su Ce pointed to the box on the ground and said, "Lu Yichen, let's look through it. There are many secret reports sent by the Detective Cavalry and Sword Department about you."
Inside the box was a pile of letters and charcoal paintings. Although the charcoal paintings were rough, they were very expressive. If coupled with the words written in the blank spaces of the paintings, Lu Yichen did not look through it. He knew that this time the Lu family
If you fail, you must admit defeat!
"Lu admits it. The person who assassinated you was sent by me. Whether he killed or chopped him up, I admit it, but I don't accept it. Why won't a general be given to the Lu family this time? There are more than 300 brothers, nephews and nephews of my ancestors in the Lu family."
I died in battle just because I said some grumbling words while drunk, and I didn’t give a single general position to the Lu family. You are the military leader and you are not fair in dealing with things. If Lu refuses to accept it, why not kill you!" Lu Yichen looked at Sitting Gao.
Su Ce, who was in the main position, no longer had any fear or uneasiness, but only anger.
"Unbridled!" Luo Yang shouted loudly when he heard Lu Yichen's words, and kicked Lu Yichen in the crook of his leg. Lu Yichen staggered two steps and landed on one knee. He wanted to resist, but there was no chance.
Because when Luo Yang shouted, Jiang Lan immediately entered the Zhige Hall with thirty Xuanwu Guards.
Zhigetang was filled with angry curses for a while, but it was difficult for two fists to defeat four hands. What's more, these nine people were only wearing military uniforms today, so how could they be the opponents of the Xuanwu Guards with their armor and stomach in their bodies.
They wanted to grab the sword to resist, but Jiang Lan and Xuanwu Wei did not wear weapons.
What is Zhi Ge? Zhi Ge is force. In this Zhi Ge Hall, only Su Ce can carry weapons. Others, even the sabers of Gongxiang City of Chu State, are outside the Zhi Ge Hall.
Su Ce didn't want to see Zepao being humiliated in the past, and he didn't have the hobby of torturing people. He closed his eyes now, and Zhi Getang's voice soon changed from anger to sadness.
The cry for mercy made Su Ce upset, and he resorted to knife attack on one of his own people. Su Ce could not get over the hurdle in his heart. There were some things that Su Ce could pretend to be unaware of, but Su Ce could not pretend to be blind about the things in front of him.
"Enough! Crying, when did the general of the Northern Army become so fussy? I asked you to come to the Northern Army Mansion today. I didn't mean to kill you. Now you will know how to beg for mercy. When you assassinated me, you didn't think about it.
After the incident, are you going to end up with your nephew's future ruined and his family humiliated when his head falls to the ground?" Su Ce stood up, pointed at the nine people who were pinned to the ground and cursed.
Su Ce took a deep breath and burst out in anger. He pointed at Lu Yichen who was scratching his neck and cursed with a smile: "Look, this is the helper you are looking for. Forget it, there is no point in arguing with you fools."
, you are also being deceived by others. You can ignore Zepao's feelings, but I can't ignore Zepao's righteousness. In the past, I didn't see you in the old commander's house. If you assassinate the military leader, the Northern Army will not tolerate you in the future.
.
The Northern Army ordered Lu Yichen and the other nine people to commit rebellion and be dismissed from their military posts. In recognition of their military exploits, they were allowed to commit suicide. The generals of the nine families were expelled from the Northern Army. Get out!"
Lu Yichen's mouth was bitter, hearing that Su Ce would not kill him, but the military position was gone, and his head had to be moved, but he still had the honorary title. What does the general rely on? It is not the honorary title. As long as the honorary title is there, pass on
My nephew, there is still a place in the army, but now the Northern Army cannot accommodate the nine families of them. What will happen to the generals of these nine families in the future?
"The Northern Army cannot tolerate you. The newly established Xiangjun Mansion is still empty. You nine families should go to Xiangjun Mansion. The transfer order has been sent to Xiangjun Mansion. Go back and warn your nephew. If you want to seek revenge, Su will be waiting at any time. But
Next time it won't be as simple as killing a family head! What are they still doing? Jiang Lan escorts them out!" Su Ce waved his hand, Jiang Lan led the Xuanwu Guards to take off the crowns of the nine people, and escorted the nine people to take them.
Go outside.
Before Lu Yichen left, he saluted Su Ce and said: "Since you became the military commander, we have never called you military commander once. After twenty years of service in the army, how many brothers have died and we have grown old."
, for a general, my eyes are fascinated, the nephew of the Lu family will not seek revenge, it’s not that I don’t dare, it’s that I don’t have the face to seek revenge, thank you military lord for your endless kindness!”
Seeing the nine people being held captive, Su Ce felt uncomfortable. These nine families were not idlers. They only wanted to be generals. They just couldn't see the situation clearly and used the wrong method. In the city of Chang'an, people could be clever or cunning.
, but the assassination violated the rules and crossed the bottom line.
Su Ce only punished the evil master, but would not touch their family members. This was abiding by the rules of the Northern Army, and no harm would be done to his family. Su Ce understood this without the need for anyone to persuade him.
Having said something bad, Su Ce still has important things to do. The nobles of the Northern Army have been cleaned up by Gong Xiangcheng of Chu State. Now the generals have been straightened out by Su Ce. Next, Su Ce will take advantage of the opportunity of major changes to purge the Northern Army.
military.
After a hundred years of fighting, many issues have been ignored. Now that the war has calmed down a bit, there are already people in the court admonishing that the swords and guns should be put into storage and the horses released in Nanshan. This is the next big thing that the Northern Army will face.
The problems of the Northern Army go hand in hand with the growth of the Northern Army. To cure evil diseases, we should use tiger and wolf medicine. Clearing out nine families is the first medicine to be taken.
The other prefectures have not yet settled their own affairs. The Beijun Prefecture has lost nine general families to the Xiangjun Prefecture. Su Ce actually has his own plans.
First, it gave the old commander face and did not kill them all. The Northern Army was not convinced of Su Ce as the military leader, but Su Ce's magnanimity made it difficult for people to tell whether he was wrong or not.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Secondly, Li Hongtao has nine generals in his hands, so he has a team. Li Hongtao has to think of Su Ce’s kindness. He gave money to people before, and now he gives it to others.
If Li Hongtao doesn't think highly of Su Ce, then he will lose his reputation. If his reputation is ruined, who would dare to follow him like Li Hongtao?
Third, although the heads of these nine families died, Su Ce showed mercy, so it was not a mortal enemy. These nine families still had to remember Su Ce's kindness. And these nine families were also hidden clues laid by Su Ce for the Xiangjun Mansion, because
The next heads of these nine families were promoted by Su Ce. They planned the Xiangjun Mansion in advance. Su Ce's idle guy might be put to good use at some point.
The fourth is to kill the chicken to scare the monkey. From now on, there can only be one voice in the Beijun Mansion, and it must be Su Ce's voice. Looking at the movements in Zhige Hall, the nobles and generals can pretend to be nonchalant, but they will remember Su Ce's methods.
Because Su Ce's purpose is not just to stay in the Northern Army, and to stay in a corner is not Su Ce's pattern. The major changes are coming to an end, and the civil servants in the court have begun to unify the steps. First, they will reduce the army, and next, the sword will fall on the generals.
If you can resist it, the Northern Army will still be the Northern Army. If you can't hold it back, Su Ce can probably imagine what will happen to the Northern Army behind it.
Because the great reform was proposed by the saint, the establishment of the Seven Military Government this time seems to have given a lot of benefits. An official position brought the military leaders of each army to the front. The military leaders have a transcendent status. Now that they have official positions, on the contrary,
a limitation.
Because the military leader has decided that he will be the same person for decades, but the official position can be changed at any time.
During the Dragon Boat Festival, the saint's posture was very low, but he let Su Ce enter the situation. In the battle to seize the rightful son, no noble ministers or generals would interfere, let alone a military leader with a special status.
Seizing the heir means taking sides, and it's good to be on the right side. If you're on the wrong side, hard times will come when the new emperor ascends the throne. Although Su Ce agreed wholeheartedly, Su Ce had no intention of getting involved, because Su Ce
Don't dare to gamble with the Northern Army's century-old foundation. If you win the bet, it will be useless to expand the Northern Army's power, because the Northern Army itself is the most powerful among all the armies. If you lose the bet, the Northern Army's century-old foundation will be destroyed.
Once done.
Major changes are only the first step in the saint's centralization of power. Su Ce has to join in, but Su Ce has already made plans to work but not to make a difference, and to speak out but not to implement.
Su Ce now needs to set a good tone with the noble generals and everyone acts in unison in order to preserve their strength in this major change. The Northern Army will not resist, because the Northern Army exists for the stability of the country. This is engraved in the bones of the Northern Army.
Regardless of whether it is the Duke of Chu or the previous Northern Army leaders, they can use the Northern Army's power to pursue public interests, but they cannot rely on the Northern Army to pursue their own selfish desires.
Su Ce has already thought of a prescription for his second dose of medicine. Now that the situation is unstable, Su Ce has to discuss with other doctors when to take the medicine.
This is also the reason why we invited the noble generals to come here today. Today, it is the Northern Army Mansion that is clearing out dissidents. Outsiders don't need to ask to know that it is Su Ce who is clearing out the nine generals from the Northern Army.
With so many noble generals gathered together, the saint must be paying attention, the court officials will also be watching, and the other six military mansions will definitely go to find out what the Northern Army Mansion has done.
The plank road was built openly, but Chencang was secretly built. The plank road has been exposed. I believe that in the days to come, the other armies will not focus on the Beijun Mansion, but will turn their energy to the Xiang Army Mansion. Each army has its own boundaries, and the empty Xiang Army still has no power.
In the land of the Lord, I believe no one will miss this opportunity to expand their power.
On the surface, although Su Ce lost nine generals in vain by dealing with the assassin, if we look deeper, it is just the Northern Army's layout of Xiangjunfu. Anyone who can make a name for himself in the army is not a human spirit.
, otherwise you will not survive on the battlefield, let alone achieve military exploits.
Now Su Ce turned everyone's attention to the Xiang Army Mansion. The Bei Army Mansion was not being stared at. After reacting later, Su Ce quickly solved the problem of the Bei Army. The Bei Army was still the one that balanced all the armies, and its status was
