Shi Chong's energy and blood rushed to the top, and he said loudly: "It's a joke, I, Shi Chong, have never seen any mountains of swords or seas of fire, and I am afraid that a little guerrilla general and son-in-law will push him out and chop him down. " After saying this, he raised his hand and several
The Youzhou soldiers escorted the guerrilla general and walked out of the camp, howling miserably and calling for help from Commander Dou. Dou Sheng became angry and said: "Shi Chong, you are cruel."
"General Dou," Li Luo stared at Dou Sheng coldly and said, "What happened today was my order and has nothing to do with General Shi. If General Dou is dissatisfied, you can come to me to argue. Also, from now on, General Dou's subordinates will
If there are still people like this who don't respect military discipline, don't blame Li Luo and his subordinates for being ruthless, Ni Qing."
"My subordinate is here."
"Eight hundred miles haste to send today's events back to the royal city, and another message to the emperor and my father. If anyone in the royal city is harmful to General Shi behind his back, they will all be killed."
"Follow the order." Ni Qing responded loudly.
Dou Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Li Luo was the real commander-in-chief of the three armies. He was the general of the auxiliary country given by the imperial court, and he was the ninth prince favored by Emperor Wanlong and the legitimate son of Prince Chun Li Chengye.
It's just that these days, Li Luo seldom intervenes in military matters, and everything is left to King Huai and himself. Gradually, he forgets about the backer behind Li Luo and the soul of Dagan's army, Prince Chun Li Chengye.
Thinking of this, Dou Sheng couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. If Li Luo wanted to punish him for raising private soldiers, he would probably have no other choice but to betray the army, and not even King Huai could save him.
Liu Ce was interrupted by Li Luo and froze on the spot. When he heard Li Luo's message back to the capital, he also realized that he had been looking down on Li Luo these days.
Although Li Luo tolerated a lot because King Huai was his uncle, Li Luo was the commander-in-chief of the Western Expedition.
Without Li Luo, there would be no such army for the Western Expedition. Perhaps he would still be retiring in Youzhou. In his daze, even Li Luo didn't notice when he looked at him.
Shi Chong was quite pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect that Li Luo would value him so much. He felt like a confidant in his heart. He seemed to be more pleased with Li Luo. He nodded repeatedly and laughed while standing aside.
After a while, several Youzhou soldiers who had been escorting the guerrilla general came back and killed him outside the camp. His body was hung on the camp fence for public display. Li Luo shook his head and ordered the soldiers to collect the body and bury it on the spot.
.
Li Luo got on his horse and looked at the generals in the army. At this time, Hucha Jing, Qin Shutong and Qi Shaobing all rushed over, but King Huai and Hucha Dongchan were not seen.
Li Luo said coldly: "Today's matter is over. If something like this happens again, we will hold the army commander accountable together." After saying that, he rode back to the camp, leaving behind the generals who were looking at each other and Dou Sheng, who was dumbfounded.
In the next few days, the army marched much faster, and there were less bullying incidents in the camp. The generals of each battalion also exercised more restraint, and there was a lot less friction. Dou Sheng's troops no longer dared to show off, and even King Huai's personal guards were somewhat
convergence.
King Huai did not cause trouble to the Chinese army for a while. It seems that Li Luo was furious that day and King Huai was also a little afraid.
After some time, King Huai sent someone to find Li Luo, but he asked Li Luo to read the memorial he wrote to Emperor Wanlong, which was full of compliments and flattery for Li Luo. Li Luo laughed it off and said: "Supervise the Army"
The memorial is confidential and does not need to be seen by the military commander.
King Huai hid his anger and grudges and secretly scolded Li Luo for being ignorant. From then on, he never gave the memorial to Li Luo. However, no matter how he wrote the memorial, Li Luo would not know.
Then they marched, and it took some time for the various units to work together. The cooperation was much better than when they just left Zhuocheng, and the march speed was nearly doubled.
Li Luo has been inspecting various parts of the camp these days to see how the army is arranged, including the provisions and supplies of the rear army. Li Luo has also been inspecting it for several days. No one expected that Qi Shao's soldier was not outstanding in appearance and looked cunning.
, took care of the food and grass in an orderly manner, Qin Shutong was full of praise, and expressed his admiration. Li Luo humbly asked for advice several times, and Qi Shaobing became a little happy, proud, and very flattered.
The army marched for more than half a month, and they were already in Quanzhou. The weather had not turned cold at noon. The army stopped to rest. Li Luo was sitting in the tent reading a book. Suddenly there was a noise outside the door. Before Li Luo could go out,
Look, the curtain was raised, and Hucha Dongchan walked in angrily. When he saw Li Luo, he reluctantly saluted and asked, "Why are the rations of our lieutenants reduced by half?"
Li Luo was stunned. He didn't know the reason for this, so he had to say: "Princess, don't worry, sit down and talk. Why is the food and salary in your army less? When did it start to decrease?" After saying this, he waved his hand to Ni Qing.
Don't worry, Ni Bai.
Hucha Dongchan sat down angrily and said: "It has been three days, and I don't know why the rear army has reduced the rations of our front army by half. It is said that there is insufficient food and grass in the army. But I went to the middle army to see that the middle army
Each battalion has more food than we do. Today I sent someone to say that we want to halve the salary of our front army. What is the rationale for this?"
"Insufficient food and grass?" Li Luo was startled and looked up. Ni Qing hurriedly said: "General, there is no report from the army that there is not enough food and food."
Li Luo frowned, looked at Hucha Dongchan who was still angry, and asked: "What happened these days?"
Ni Qing thought for a while and said: "No, nothing happened in any camp."
Hucha Dongchan interjected: "Our front army has never disturbed the people in the prefectures and counties where it passed, let alone clashed with the Chinese rear army."
After a pause, he suddenly remembered something, and said embarrassedly: "A few days ago, the guards of the Supervisory Army came to my camp and said that the Supervisory Army wanted to discuss something with me, but they were all arrogant and rude to the guards in my tent.
I beat him up and threw him out of the camp because he was unclean. This is not considered a violation of military regulations." After saying that, he looked up at Li Luo, feeling slightly embarrassed.
Li Luo began to ponder, and Ni Qing said: "General, the princess has more than ten female guards, all of whom are beautiful, maybe." Before he finished speaking, Hucha Dongchan turned around and glared at Ni Qing fiercely, and Ni Qing hurriedly pulled her over.
The words on his lips were swallowed.
Li Luo seemed unaware and said to Ni Qing: "Go and invite the two generals of the Hou Army and General Liu of the Chinese Army, General Dou, here."
"Yes." Ni Qing saluted and ordered, and Ni Bai turned around and hurried out of the camp.
The sound of needles dropping could be heard in the big tent for a moment. Li Luo said nothing and stood up, with his back to Hucha Dongchan.
After a while, the sound of horses neighing was heard outside the tent, and Ni Bai announced that Liu Ce, Dou Sheng, Qi Shaobing and Qin Shutong filed in. When they saw Li Luo, he bowed and said, "General."
Li Luo turned around and walked up to several people. He neither excused himself nor offered a seat. He asked in a cold voice: "Why was the former army's rations and pay reduced by half?"
Everyone was silent. As soon as Qi Shaobing entered the camp and saw Hucha Dongchan, he already knew what was going on. He couldn't help but secretly complained. When he heard Li Luo asked, he shrank his head and did not dare to raise his head.
"Qi Shaobing, tell me, what's going on?"
Hearing Li Luo calling him, Qi Shaobing had no choice but to move forward a few steps and murmured for a long time without saying a word.
"General Liu, do you know about this?"
"This general has indeed heard about it." Liu Ce pondered and responded.
"How come you didn't repay me for such a big deal?"
Liu Ce glanced at Dou Sheng standing in front of him and said nothing.
Dou Sheng took a step forward and said: "General, maybe something went wrong in the rear army. The supply of food and grass for the front army has always been managed by General Qin. General Qin, what happened to the front army's money and food halving? Please report it according to the facts.
"
Qin Shutong replied: "General, three days ago, the food and grass allocated to the front army was indeed less than half. The general has also checked himself. It may be that the supply is insufficient these days. The general will urge a few more times to make up for the remaining food.
superior."
"But why wasn't the Chinese army reduced by half, while our front army was reduced by half?" Hucha Dongchan suddenly stood up and asked Qin Shutong.
Dou Sheng said coldly: "General Qin, what is going on here? Is it because you are not doing things well or do you have some hidden agenda? General Qi, you are the commander-in-chief of the rear army. Is there someone who is taking advantage of his military position to not do his job well, or to get rich?"
Private pocket?"
Qi Shaobing was obedient and glanced at Qin Shutong without saying anything. Dou Sheng snorted and was a little dissatisfied. Li Luo looked at Qin Shutong, but saw Qin Shutong had a look of sadness on his face, biting his lips tightly and making no rebuttal.
"General Qi." Li Luo suddenly said.
"The general is here." Qi Shaobing hurriedly bowed and replied.
"Do you still remember what I said when I appointed you as the commander-in-chief of the rear army?" Li Luo asked lightly.
"Remember, remember." Qi Shaobing wiped the cold sweat from his head and replied repeatedly.
"Just remember, come here, bring me the Star Sword." Ni Qing responded and brought the Star Sword over. The generals didn't know why, and they didn't know what Li Luo wanted to do. Qi Shaobing's face turned green, thinking that Li Luo was going to pull it out.
He cut himself with the sword, and his legs couldn't stop shaking. In the blink of an eye, he saw Li Luo taking the sword and walking to Hucha Dongchan, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Luo said: "This sword is called Xingxiu. It was a gift from the emperor. I will lend it to you today."
Hucha Dongchan didn't understand why Li Luo gave him the sword. He stood up and took the sword, not knowing how to thank him.
Li Luo then said: "If tomorrow, the rations and wages in the former military camp are still half, you can take this sword without reporting it to me. You can go get the rank of the commander-in-chief of the rear army and give it to me."
"Ah." Hucha Dongchan exclaimed, and Qi Shaobing was so frightened that he fell to his knees and almost cried.
"The former troops are all Muzhou Rangers. They will arrive in the blink of an eye twenty or thirty miles away and won't delay the time for a meal. General Qi, will the food and grass be ready tomorrow? If not, let me know earlier to save the princess from running around tomorrow.
One trip.”
"If you can prepare everything, you can prepare everything." Qi Shaobing said with a sad face without waiting for Dou Sheng to speak.
"Okay, step back." After saying this, Li Luo turned around and looked at the map of Mahatma Gandhi hanging on the wall.
Qi Shaobing climbed up and trembled out of the tent. Dou Sheng and Liu Ce looked at each other and both saw the fear in their eyes. However, Dou Sheng was frightened by Li Luo's decisiveness in killing, and Liu Ce was frightened by Li Luo's decisive attack.
