Chapter 427
"Where's Hullegan?"

"The villain has taken him as a corpse and moved him to a place where there is no one, and disguised him as a subordinate of the villain."

Jiang Fan whispered, and then reported the situation in Syria.

"Jiang Tong is willing to cooperate. Mr. Han said that everything is going well. This is his letter to the county magistrate."

Li Xia took it, glanced roughly at first, and said: "The comforter Zhu was injured and unconscious. You take him to Xuzhou to recuperate."

"Yes."

"Now the Mongolian army is attacking the mountain. I will send a team to cover you from the west."

"Don't worry, the county magistrate, the villain will send Zhu's comforter to Xuzhou safely."

"Mr. Han knows what medicine to use for the conciliator to recuperate, to ensure that he is safe and sound..."

At this time, the sound of killing at the foot of Laojun Mountain was shaking the sky.

Li Xia knew that it was a tentative offensive by the Mongolian army, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

While pondering, he explained a few words to Jiang Fan, and began to arrange for Song He to lead troops to help Jiang Fan break out from the west.

In fact, today's accident was arranged by Li Xia.

Because once Zhu Yusun knew that Wei Wenbo, the magistrate of Xuzhou, was dead, he would definitely send someone to Xuzhou to act as magistrate temporarily.

It can't be Jiang Chun, the qualifications are not enough.

Li Xia wanted to ensure complete control of the city of Syria during this turbulent period of time.

The second reason is that he wants to integrate the Luzhou Army.

Zhu Yusun has a high official position, and it is good to be able to command the Luzhou army, but he cannot do it like an arm, because most of the generals in the army are actually trained by Zhang Shi.

A group of generals in the army must be replaced in order to command more smoothly.

Zhu Yusun would certainly not dare to do this at this juncture, and Yi Shiying might not dare either.

On the contrary, once Zhu Yusun was "unconscious", in order to stabilize the morale of the army, it was possible for Yi Shiying to support Li Xia to integrate the Luzhou Army.

On Laojun Mountain, there are more than [-] soldiers from the Qingfu Army, more than [-] from the Changning Army, and more than [-] from the Luzhou Army. As long as Li Xia can reach a tacit understanding with Yi Shiying and twist the three soldiers and horses into one, it will be far better than asking in advance. Zhu Yusun is going to be efficient.

Li Xia is not in a hurry to seize control. In this kind of well-regulated mountain warfare, Yi Shiying is the most experienced one, and Li Xia is willing to listen to his command.

Probably can learn a lot.

……

It was night, Yi Shiying was thinking about the current situation, his brows were deeply frowned.

"No one thinks of such an accident. The pacifier injured his head, and the army is short of medicinal materials. I am worried that in a day or two, Newell will arrive with his own army, and even the road to the west will be blocked. I decide on my own. Immediately send him to Syria for medical treatment, please forgive me.”

"It should be so, saving people is the most important thing."

"As for the battle in front of us." Li Xia said: "When the two armies are facing each other, the main general is suddenly injured. We are already in danger. We can only ask General Yi to temporarily command the army and preside over the battle."

"I?"

Yi Shiying turned her head with surprise in her eyes.

There is also some faint tentative meaning.

Li Xia looked directly into Yi Shiying's eyes and said seriously, "Only General Yi can solve this crisis."

The doubt in Yi Shiying's eyes seemed to dissipate a bit, and his face became embarrassed and hesitant.

In his heart, he really didn't want to do such an overreaching thing.

According to the usual practice, at such a time, there should be a deputy appeasement envoy, or even a Timba appeasement envoy, or a Xuan Fu envoy, etc. to come forward.

However, Yi Shiying understands that these civil servants are definitely not enough to fight New Lin...

"According to me, we should take advantage of the news before it spreads. General Yi, please call all the commanders and commanders of the Luzhou Army to come to the army to discuss, execute the order of appeasement envoys, and lead the generals. If there are any who do not follow, withdraw them. Then Use the Qingfu Army and Changning Army to control the battalions to avoid any changes."

Li Xia's tone was a little worried, and he said again: "Only when General Yi comes forward, the soldiers will not panic because the comforter is injured. They will even have more confidence."

"It's not right." Yi Shiying sighed.

"Is the situation of the battle important, or the rules and regulations? I ask the general to focus on the tens of thousands of soldiers, the people of Syria and Lu, and the safety of the Song Dynasty."

Li Xia stopped persuading, he knew that Yi Shiying was clear about the priorities.

To put it simply, this is his design to force a loyal minister to seize military power.

A gentleman can be deceived.

During the long silence, Yi Shiying thought a lot.

He even suspected for a moment that Li Xia had arranged the accident, and then denied the idea for a moment.

In this accident, Li Xia was not able to temporarily command the military power, and he sincerely wanted to push Yi Shiying to come forward... It shows that this young man has no selfish intentions.

All in all, this seems to be the best solution so far...

~~
Two hours later.

"Zhu appeases the envoy to become sick from overwork and feels unwell for a while. He ordered me to take the place of the Luzhou army temporarily. Do you have any objections?"

Standing behind his commander, Wang Datou, the capital of the Fifth Commander of the Luzhou Army's Third Capital, was not surprised when he heard Yi Shiying's calm words in the tent.

Another captain was replaced.

This year, this is already the third main general.

Fight whatever the court says, there is nothing to think about.

Wang Datou vaguely felt that General Yi and Li Zhixian in front of him were more reliable in fighting than comforter Zhu.

"Zhang Dutong was taken prisoner, so comforter Zhu probably handed over power because he knew he couldn't fight?" he thought to himself.

Sure enough, after the tent was quiet for a while, all the generals cupped their hands and said: "I will wait for orders."

Everyone obviously thought that the comforter, the civil servant, was not as good at commanding as the chief general of the Changning Army.

I thought this military discussion would end in such a calm manner.

Unexpectedly, Yi Shiying actually ordered someone to bring a stack of credits, and said in a deep voice: "Well, I will come tonight to verify the salary of the army and the performance of everyone in recent days. Those who bravely kill the enemy will be rewarded; The former will be fined; those who deduct military pay will be severely punished..."

Standing behind Yi Shiying, Li Xia looked at the generals of the Luzhou Army and carefully examined them.

This Sichuan army can be called elite, and its military discipline can be said to be good.But of course the generals of the Song Dynasty had a tendency to enrich their own pockets, and there were many.

This trend has existed since the founding of the country. Emperor Taizu mutinied and proclaimed himself emperor. He was very afraid of military power. Kind and respectful" people.

At that time, Wang Quanbin pacified Houshu, harmed the people, greedy ink, and indulged in pleasure. The civil and military unanimously requested the death penalty, but Song Taizu did not blame him for his past.

In the Gaozong Dynasty, the famous general Zhang Jun withheld military pay and occupied land, earning more than [-] yuan a year just from renting houses.The gold and silver piled up like a mountain in the house, in order to prevent it from being stolen, it was cast into a big silver ball and named "Wai Nai He", which means that even a thief cannot push it.

Li Xia has already had a glimpse of how rich Lu Wende is today.

To control military power and integrate soldiers and horses, the fastest and most dangerous way is to suppress military discipline.

On the one hand, it can remove moths in the army as soon as possible, so that the warriors can quickly return to their hearts.On the other hand, it is also easy to cause mutiny.

Sure enough, there was a commotion in the tent immediately,
"Yi Shouchen, what do you mean?" A general asked loudly, "Where's Zhu Anfu? Why didn't he personally preside over the military meeting?"

"That's right, could it be that Yi Shouchen wants to seize power?"

"It seems that he must have seized power. Is this eliminating dissidents?"

"I'm going to see Comforter Zhu..."

"..."

Amidst the shouts, Wang Datou lowered his head and did not speak.

What kind of officers are on empty pay on weekdays, and they shrink back when fighting... These things are best understood by a small school like him.

Today, if General Yi and Li Zhixian can clear these people out, it may be a chance to make a difference.

But who knows, let's see.

The next moment, only the sound of footsteps sounded, and the Changning Army and Qingfu Army soldiers outside the tent had already surrounded them.

……

Few people in the tent noticed Li Xia, half of his face was hidden in the darkness, his eyes were full of determination.

He said that this battle is dangerous, but it is also an opportunity.

His opponent is not only Niu Lin, he also wants to make this Tongchuanfu Road look brand new during this time of war.

He is about to start to unfold his plan to seize the whole of Shunan...

~~
In the same night, Niu Lin stared at Laojun Mountain on the map under the candlelight.

"What the hell are you doing? Why didn't you fight me sooner? Are you afraid of running out of food and grass?"

What he couldn't figure out was that it was obvious that the longer the war dragged on, the worse it would be for the Song army.

Why did Li Xia procrastinate?

You can't be busy with other things...

Someone opened the curtain and walked in.

"Marshal Du, urgent report..."

New Lin raised his head, thinking for a moment that it was some bad news again.

However, a secret letter has been handed over.

Niu Lin quickly opened it, looked at the Uighur script on it, and his eyes gradually became serious.

He walked out of the tent, put his hands on his chest, and saluted Chang Shengtian respectfully, his eyes were no longer confident and proud, but a little fearful.

After thinking for a long time, Niu Lin said: "Send Zhang Shi to Lizhou. Just say, I have captured the chief general of the Song Army. Soon the Song Army will be annihilated and sent to Chongqing..."
