The army marched westward, and King Huai had to ask about every detail along the way. The generals in the army complained a lot. Fortunately, Li Luo returned triumphantly. Although King Huai said he was proud of his position, Li Luo was the ninth prince bestowed by Emperor Wanlong after all.
His father, Prince Chun Li Chengye, was beyond the reach of King Huai, who was a junior high official.
Whatever Li Luo wanted to do, the generals in the army did not object, and King Huai could not stop him, but he could not help but manipulate the generals secretly.
Fortunately, Li Luo paid great attention to food and dietary disease prevention during the march. Most of the generals just complained and no major troubles occurred.
The only major conflict in the secondary army was when Dou Sheng led more than 10,000 troops before sending tribute to the state. According to the decision of the central army, all battalions were controlled by Liu Ce.
It seemed good at first, but within a few days, the officers and soldiers in these camps were promoted to deputy commander in the army thanks to Dou Sheng. Li Luo seemed to be very afraid of Dou Sheng, and they were all arrogant, and they were all superior to the others in Youzhou.
Normally, even when they see those with higher military rank than themselves, they all turn their heads to the sky, which makes the Youzhou army extremely dissatisfied. However, Liu Ce imposed restraint and was always prestigious in the army. The Youzhou soldiers heard the cold words of Dou Sheng and his troops.
I just ignored the ridicule and swallowed my anger.
One night, the army was setting up camp. Li Luogang came back with Liu Ce and entered the camp. Liu Ce went to inspect each camp of the Chinese army. Li Luo saw that there was still some time before dinner, so he rode his horse and took Ni Qingni with him.
The two of them looked around the camp.
When I walked to the right side of the camp, I saw a group of people gathered together in the distance. It was quite noisy. When I walked closer, I heard that it was Dou Sheng's soldiers asking the Youzhou tribe to build a military tent for them.
In the past few days, the soldiers under Dou Sheng's command have become more and more arrogant. They have to eat all three meals in the army before letting others use them. If they are not satisfied with it, they will verbally abuse them. The soldiers of Youzhou have become intolerable, and today they are even more demanding.
Youzhou soldiers built military tents for them.
Several Youzhou soldiers started arguing with Dou Sheng's subordinates, and soon many people gathered around. A guerrilla general under Dou Sheng stood in the field and pointed at the Youzhou soldiers and scolded them.
Seeing that the two sides were about to use force, Xuanwu General Shi Chong happened to be returning to the camp from the Central Army. He passed by this place. He came over to ask about it and just tried to persuade him. Unexpectedly, this guerrilla general even scolded Shi Chong. What he said was
He didn't take Li Luo personally seriously, let alone Shi Chong, General Xuanwu.
Shi Chong was originally a fierce general with a bad temper. He had been specially told by Liu Ce to suppress his anger in the past few days, and he had been secretly annoyed in his heart. He didn't want to be ridiculed by others after trying to persuade him today, so he was so angry that he would take action.
Seeing the soldiers from Youzhou approaching, the man panicked. He moved Dou Sheng and Li Luo out with a fierce expression and said that Li Luo also wanted to give Dou Shuai some face. This angered Dou Shuai and no one could do it.
There is no good fruit to eat.
Shi Chong was furious and raised his fists to attack. The guerrilla general shouted loudly, and the soldiers from Dou Sheng's tribe next to him unsheathed their swords and pointed them at the Youzhou soldiers.
Li Luo was furious. Fighting in the army had never stopped. Some generals even secretly encouraged soldiers to fight with each other. However, they all had explicit orders prohibiting the use of swords, guns, swords and halberds. They could fight, but they must not kill anyone. If they were in the camp without authorization,
Using knives and guns, the light punishments ranged from being driven out of the army with sticks to the more severe ones, beheading. Unexpectedly, no one in Dou Sheng's tribe came here in front of everyone.
Seeing that the Youzhou tribe members were also pressing the hilt of the sword, Li Luo shouted: "Stop."
Shi Chong looked back and hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: "It's the general, get away quickly."
The Youzhou soldiers all saluted, bowed and retreated out of the way.
Li Luo walked into the crowd. When the guerrilla general saw Li Luo approaching, he waved his hand to the soldiers behind him to put away their weapons. He gave Li Luo a military salute, but said nothing. There was still a hint of pride in his eyebrows.
Li Luo frowned and said: "The rules in the military are that those who are good at using swords and guns will be severely punished. Don't you know the military rules?"
The guerrilla general clasped his fists and said loudly: "General, the Youzhou Army relies on their large numbers and never takes Commander Dou seriously. Just now they were the same ones who were rude and wanted to take action, so we have to pull out
Knife for defense."
Li Luo laughed angrily and said: "Okay, okay. Our Dagan army has its own military rules. Although fighting is not allowed, if the armed person is at least defeated, or at worst, beheaded, even if the Youzhou army wants to fight you, you
Don’t you dare to fight back?”
The guerrilla general sneered: "There are so many of them. If we try to fight back with nothing, we would be fools."
Li Luo was stunned. He had never seen a guerrilla general in the army dare to be so presumptuous. Ni Qing shouted behind him: "You are so presumptuous, you dare to speak like this in front of the general. Are you tired of living?"
The guerrilla general on the opposite side suddenly became excited, remembering that Li Luo was the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and hurriedly bowed and saluted: "General, it is clear that the Youzhou Army was the first to cause trouble, and the general and his soldiers had no choice but to take this strategy.
I hope the general will forgive me, and I will go to Commander Dou’s tent to plead guilty and be punished soon.”
Shi Chong shouted angrily: "Fart, what happened to us?"
Li Luo interrupted Shi Chong and said angrily to the guerrilla general: "You are so arrogant with your words and demeanor. Who gave you the courage? Not to mention whether what you said is true, you actually dare to point your sword at your superiors in the army. See
Your military uniform is nothing more than that of a small guerrilla general. General Shi is honored as General Xuanwu of Dagan. If you commit the following crimes, you will be punished according to military law. Is this how General Dou leads the army?"
The guerrilla general argued forcefully: "The last general in the army only listens to Commander Dou's orders."
"Shut up!" Li Luo shouted violently, "All units in the army get along with each other on an equal footing. Did Commander Dou tell you to wait for Gao Youzhou's army? The camp actually had to be set up by others. I've been looking outside for a while, and I don't want to
There are scourges like you in the Western Expeditionary Army." After saying this, the guerrilla general seemed to want to quibble.
Li Luo became angry and shouted: "General Xuanwei Shi Chong!"
"The end will be here." Shi Chong took a step forward and responded loudly.
"With your swords out of their sheaths, take down all these soldiers who disrespect military discipline. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy." As soon as he finished speaking, Ni Qing and Ni Bai all unsheathed their swords and took a few steps forward to protect Li Luo.
.
Shi Chong was overjoyed and shouted loudly: "You guys, catch the copycats for me."
"Who dares!" The guerrilla general was horrified and yelled wildly, and all his soldiers gathered around him and drew their swords.
The Youzhou army had been holding back their anger for the past few days. Now, seeing the support of Li Luo and Shi Chong, they all picked up weapons and charged towards Dou Sheng's men with murderous intent.
At this moment, several horses came galloping from a distance. Before they arrived, a loud shout was heard: "Whoever causes trouble in the army, stop it!" After approaching, the general shouted angrily: "Shi Chong, you
Why don't you put down your weapons quickly?" But it was Dou Sheng and Liu Ce.
Shi Chong glanced at Li Luo. Li Luo's face was calm and calm, without any disturbance.
Shi Chong raised his head slightly, and the Youzhou Army on the outside gave way to a passage. Dou Sheng Juechen arrived. He did not dismount his horse when he reached the field. He raised his whip and pointed at Shi Chong. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly saw Li Luo in the field.
Dou Sheng was startled, quickly got off his horse, stepped forward and saluted, "General, why are you here?"
Before Li Luo could speak, the guerrilla general shouted: "Commander Dou, help me."
"Shut up." Dou Sheng said angrily, "You haven't put away your weapons yet." Seeing his troops put away their weapons, Dou Sheng smiled and said, "General, it's just the impulse of the soldiers. It's something that happens in the army. Shi
General, please put away your weapons too."
Shi Chong snorted coldly and looked at Li Luo without giving any orders. A hint of sinisterness flashed across Dou Sheng's face and then disappeared.
He said with a smile: "General, you have only been in the army for a short time, so you don't know these things yet. The longer you wait, the more you will know that the soldiers are all strong-blooded people, and these things are inevitable."
Li Luo said coldly: "General Dou has just arrived, and you will know everything that is happening in front of you. Is General Dou really able to predict events, or is this matter done by General Dou's instructions?"
Dou Sheng was stunned, and looked back at the guerrilla general, only to see that he lowered his head and did not dare to look at him. Dou Sheng knew that something was going to happen, so he said with a strong face: "General."
Li Luo interrupted Dou Sheng with a wave of his hand, frowned and said: "General Shi, we won't take it yet."
"Yes." Shi Chong raised his weapon, and the Youzhou army disarmed the guerrilla general and his soldiers on the field like wolves. Liu Ce sighed, and before he could say anything, they were all captured.
. Shi Chong walked up to Li Luo and replied loudly: "I'm reporting this to the general. All those who violate military regulations will be captured. Please give me your instructions."
Li Luo glanced at the people in the field, then looked at the strong general Dou Sheng, whose face was red and white, and said calmly: "Push this guerrilla general out of the camp and kill him in public, and the rest will have forty military sticks, and they will be used by the regular army."
regulation."
Dou Sheng was stunned, not expecting Li Luo to have murderous intentions. The guerrilla general wailed and shouted: "Commander Dou, save me!"
Dou Sheng said hurriedly: "General, the subordinates of the last general are guilty, but the crime will not lead to death. Please be generous, general, and punish the last general severely to serve as a warning to others."
Li Luo said coldly: "General Dou, do you know what military regulations your subordinates violated?"
Dou Sheng was at a loss for words. He looked at his subordinates and wanted him to evade a few words. Unexpectedly, this guerrilla general just kept calling Dou Shuai to save me and said nothing else. Dou Sheng cursed secretly in his heart, and it was gone for a while.
idea.
Li Luo continued: "You use your power to bully others. The following are guilty of fighting privately with weapons and insulting colleagues. Even when you see me, the commander-in-chief of the three armies, you dare to give clever words and show no repentance. You let me say that the army only listens to General Dou's orders. Even I, the commander-in-chief, do not need to give orders to generals."
Listen, right?"
Dou Sheng was shocked and quickly knelt down and said: "General, this is just a lie made by the subordinates of the general. How dare you raise private soldiers in the army? General, please take a look."
"There is no best. You can go to the generals of your camp later and ask more questions to see if I have wronged any of your subordinates. If someone comes, push them out and kill them."
Shi Chong also didn't expect that once the usually gentle and gentle Li Luo got angry, the fifth-grade general would kill him as soon as he asked. He lost his mind and looked up at Liu Ce. Liu Ce coughed dryly and stepped forward and said: "General."
Before Liu Ce finished speaking, Li Luo turned to look at Shi Chong and asked, "Shi Chong, don't you dare?"
