Li landed in the Chinese army's tent and looked at the secret documents sent back from Zhuocheng.
On the night of the gun test with Wuta, Li Luo wrote a secret letter and ordered Ni Qing to rush it to Prince Chun and Privy Councilor Yang Wanli, and not to let it pass into the hands of a third person. On the third day when the army was stationed in Shahu, Zhuo
After returning from the city, Ni Qing took the secret message and quietly presented it to Li Luo.
After reading the secret document, Li Luo sighed slightly, packed the letter, blew out the light, and sat alone in the darkness.
The next day, Li Luo summoned the generals and King Huai to the central army to discuss matters.
King Huai had indulged in sexual activities in the camp these days, and many soldiers in the army knew about it. In addition, King Huai and Dou Sheng were usually very high-spirited. Although Li Luo rectified the situation several times along the way, they were not able to do anything in the end.
Whether it's painful or not, it's done hastily, and the morale of the military is somewhat unstable.
Seeing this, Liu Ce carefully hinted to Li Luo to take measures earlier.
However, Li Luo only issued a strict order, ordering all the troops in the army to build camps. If those who failed to meet the standards, their generals would be punished in front of the camp, and the army must build the camp before the first heavy snowfall.
The main camp was a place selected by several generals in the army after survey. The army was stationed on two hills. In the valley in the middle there was a creek about five feet wide with plenty of water. Fifty miles ahead was Di Jie's defense line.
Fortress, there is a flat river between the two places. When the weather is better, you can see the smoke rising from the fortress in front.
When setting up the stronghold, King Huai obstructed him in every possible way and wanted the army to retreat fifty miles, but Li Luo just refused. King Huai was secretly angry. No one in the army except Dou Sheng agreed with him. Li Luo's expression was as usual, and he was not satisfied with King Huai's unreasonable troubles.
After the military order was issued, the three armies immediately built their camps and ignored King Huai's clamor.
King Huai then visited Li Luo again, urging Li Luo to return to the capital early and not wanting to stay in Xifu for a long time. Li Luo had also been helping the army build camps these days. When he heard King Huai talking in his ear, he just smiled.
, also refused.
King Huai had no choice but to go back to his tent and have fun every day. Naturally, he would inevitably hurt Li Luo with harsh words, making himself suffer from the wind and sand, and also be frightened.
By the time King Huai arrived at the main tent of the Chinese army, all the generals had already arrived. Since the first day of the meeting of the Chinese army, King Huai had been the last one to arrive. All the generals except Dou Sheng, Qi Shaobing and others were very excited
They were dissatisfied, but the coach Li Luo was not unhappy, so the generals had no choice but to secretly slander him, but their anger gradually built up.
As soon as King Huai entered the Chinese army's tent, he spoke rudely: "The weather here in Xifu is getting colder and colder, and the water freezes at night. I am suffering and freezing here, guarding the frontier, and those idle and incompetent people in the royal city will not know where to hide.
Where are we drinking flower wine? Let's go back quickly. What should we do if the soldiers in the camp get frostbite?" After saying that, he went to the supervisory general's position and sat down grandly.
Several generals had bad expressions on their faces, and Hucha Dongchan showed off his appearance even more. Ever since he passed Qiquan Mansion, when King Huai had something to do, he would call Cha Dongchan over and say something inappropriate for his status as a military supervisor.
One time, Hucha Dongchan was bored and had a few drinks with King Huai and Dou Sheng in the military supervisor's tent. Hucha Dongchan used to drink a lot, but for some reason she was a little drunk and dizzy even though she didn't drink much that day.
It happened that Li Luo came over to talk to King Huai about something, and by the way, he sent Hucha Dongchan back to the front army.
The next day I woke up with an unbearable headache. I rested for a long time before I recovered. When the guards saw Hucha Dongchan, they all snickered. Hucha Dongchan thought the guards were laughing at her poor drinking ability, so she didn't get angry.
After a while, Hucha Dongchan felt that something was wrong. He was afraid that the wine he drank in the warden's tent was fraudulent, so he angrily picked up the Xingxu Sword and went to find King Huai.
On the way, he changed his mind and went to see Li Luo again. Li Luo looked surprised and said that he didn't understand the meaning of Hucha Dongchan's words. He was so angry that Hucha Dongchan almost broke his silver teeth, but he had no evidence, so he had to give up.
So far, when I saw King Huai again, Hucha Dongchan had an angry look on his face, with hints of murderous intent. King Huai was also a little embarrassed. As soon as he arrived at Xifu, he urged Li Luo to set a date for returning to the capital.
King Huai then said: "Emperor nephew, what's the matter with your coming here today? Please hurry up and leave early. Why is it so cold in your big tent? You didn't ask anyone to add more braziers. Next time, the army will
Why don't you just hold the meeting in my tent, it will be warmer." After saying that, he wrapped himself in the fox fur and brocade fur and huddled up.
It was common for generals to see King Huai like this. Li Luo was sitting on the command post, wearing plain clothes and only adding a cotton coat. Li Luo looked at the generals in the camp and said calmly: "Recruit you to the central army.
The big account is only for one thing, and it needs to be settled today."
Liu Ce's heart moved and he looked at Li Luo, suddenly slightly startled. In the past, Li Luo often brought the old man surnamed Shen to the Chinese Military Council. Sometimes Chu Ying'er would also be present. But today, in addition to these two people, Wu Ta also
In the account.
Li Luo didn't wait for the generals to respond, and took out a letter from his arms, opened it, glanced at it, and said slowly: "This is from the Privy Council of the Royal City. It is written by Mr. Zongbo Yang himself. Please listen carefully.
"
After a slight pause, Li Luonian said: "Xuanlou's nephew personally asked me to write a letter, and I asked the Privy Council to sort it out. Since the Western Expedition army left Zhuocheng, it passed through Zhuozhou, Yuegong, Quan, and Hulu Prefectures.
, and finally stationed in Shahu. There were a total of five counties and twenty-seven prefectures along the way, including three counties and nineteen prefectures. The Western Expedition Army asked for tribute. The contract was for 1.84 million taels of silver and a total of fifty-three maids. None of them returned home.
Six out of forty... Also, the Western Expedition Army has more than 117,000 soldiers, but the Tomb Zaifu has received enough food orders for 170,000 soldiers, so I will not read the rest." After speaking, General Li Luo said.
The letter was placed on the desk in front of me.
There was silence in the big tent. Everyone was either surprised, angry, frightened, or embarrassed. Their expressions were ever-changing, and the only sound they could hear was the sound of heavy breathing.
Shen Xiangdong was extremely surprised. He did not expect that Li Luo would reveal the matter in such a way, without even leaving any room for maneuver.
Li Luo said calmly: "Everyone can tell you what you think. Along the way to the west, the army searched for money, all in the eyes of the imperial court, and it made the local people deeply resentful. We are supposed to protect the family.
Wei Guo, who would have thought that in just a few days, he would become a disaster for the country and the people."
Liu Ce bowed his hands and said: "General, this matter is of great importance and we need to be careful in collecting evidence. It is better to wait until we return to the royal city and then conduct a detailed investigation with the Privy Council."
Li Luo frowned and said: "General Liu, during this march, when it comes to marching formations and strict military management, General Liu is the leader of our Western Expedition army. Even among the Da Gan Army, in my opinion, he can rival Liu
There are not many generals, just..."
Li Luo paused for a moment, glanced at Liu Ce and said, "What is it that has weakened General Liu's courage? Joining the army is all about intrigues, and sometimes it is not an exaggeration to be ruthless, but if your blood runs cold,
What's the point of joining the army? General Liu, I keep thinking of that little girl. You and I always need to be the hope in some people's hearts."
Liu Ce was silent, lowered his head and said nothing, not knowing what he was thinking.
Hucha Dongchan glanced at his brother, stood up and said, "General, Dongchan has something to say."
"Princess, please speak." Li Luo nodded and said.
"The Western Expedition army has disturbed local states and counties along the way. Corruption and perversion of the law must be investigated, and violations of disciplines in the army must be investigated and punished. If not investigated, how can we give an explanation to the 100,000 generals in the army? The morale of the army is unstable, and this war will still be fought.
How to fight? If we can’t find out clearly, huh, Dongchan and Muzhou’s former army will be the first to refuse.”
King Huai and Dou Sheng looked at each other and saw the fear and fierce look in each other's eyes.
King Huai laughed and said: "Princess, please be careful what you say. Exaggerating can easily unsettle the morale of the army. In this way, Princess is marching all the way, leading an army as a woman, and bringing more than ten people with her."
A female guard ran rampant in the army. If anyone could not stand it, she would teach her a lesson. Along the way, hundreds of soldiers in the army must have suffered at the hands of the princess. In this way,
How can the military's morale remain stable? I don't know who the princess is behind it?" After saying that, he glanced at Li Luo, who was sitting in command.
"Okay, yes, what the supervisor said is indeed true." Li Luo ignored Dongchan's angry look and nodded in response, "If you have any other violations of discipline, you can tell us and we will do it together today.
learn."
Huchajing stood up and said: "General, the supervisor said that the general's sister was committing murder in the army. These people saw that the general's sister was good-looking and became lustful, so Dong Chan would take action. If it is said that there is a violation
The military regulations, first of all, are to supervise the army. No family members or maids are allowed in the army, but in the camp of the supervising army, they sing and sing every night, and all the officers and soldiers in the army hear it. Doesn't this count?"
King Huai snorted coldly: "General Hucha seems to be quite critical of me. Does it mean that if your sister is allowed to have a maid, then other people's camps are not allowed to have maids? Huh, who knows what the maids in the former military camp are used for.
." As soon as he finished speaking, both the Hucha brothers and sisters were furious. Hucha Dongchan said angrily: "Li Chengyue, please be cleaner. You have given me many difficulties along the way. Did you give me anything in your account last time?
Was there something tampered with in the wine?"
Huchajing was stunned for a moment, then became furious and shouted: "Old man!" He put his hand on the handle of the knife and was about to jump out. Li Luo's eyes suddenly shot up, forcing Huchajing to hold him down. Liu Ce quickly grabbed him.
He grabbed Hucha Jing and said, "Hurry up and sit down. There is a general in everything."
Hucha Jing was very angry, but during these times in the army, he respected Liu Ce quite a lot, suppressed his anger, and sat on the general's position.
King Huai opened his triangular eyes and said in a sinister voice: "Humph, let's not talk about the baseless Hucha Dongchan who slandered me. If you just made such arrogant remarks, I will remove you from your military position and send you back to your hometown.
Let's go and herd the sheep. Li Luo, if there's nothing else, I've gone back and it's full of smoke!" After saying that, he gave Dou Sheng a bad look and got up to go out of the tent.
Li Luo glanced at the tent calmly and said: "The matter is not over yet, no one can leave this Chinese army tent."
"Li Luo," King Huai suddenly turned around and said sternly: "I am the supervisor of the Western Expedition given by Emperor Wanlong. I also have an imperial edict written by the emperor himself. I can act on behalf of heaven in the army. If I want to leave, who can
