Chapter 430 Intervention
“All 2,641 people from the Left Guard Forward Battalion have arrived.”
“All 912 people from the Qiannu Battalion have arrived. "
"From Jiying..."
"Leaded by General Miao Yuan..."
"Led by General Chen Qi..."
"Youwei..."
"The Governor of the Valiant Cavalry..."
"The Governor of the Youzhou Cavalry..."
"The Governor of the Mounted Cavalry... …”
A large army gathered at Zhang Fang's old base outside Ximing Gate in Luoyang.
Shao Xun stood on the high platform, waited quietly for a while, and said: "Roll roll call."
The order was quickly issued.
In the wind and snow, the sergeants were a little noisy.
Some people subconsciously raised their hands to block the snowflakes that blew into their faces.
Some people put their spears at their feet and began to rub their hands and complain.
The officers had no shame in their faces and shouted loudly. It took a lot of rectification to suppress the commotion.
Shao Xun watched silently.
These soldiers are really bad.
He remembered that during the Anshi Rebellion, one day An Lushan had a sudden impulse and went to Tian Chengsi's army late at night to inspect the camp.
After giving the order, the sergeant who had fallen asleep quickly stood up, put on his armor and held his weapon, and stood solemnly in the snow. He remained motionless for a long time without making any noise. The roll call was taken, and no one was missing. They were all present.
This is the army, and this is the key reason why Fatty An was able to conquer Luoyang and Chang'an all the way.
The gap between soldiers is sometimes larger than the gap between humans and dogs, and this is something that many people subconsciously ignore.
"It seems that the post of Lieutenant Colonel of the Northern Army should be given to the more talented." Liu Mo looked at it for a long time, and finally just gave a wry smile.
The commander of the Forbidden Army changes every three days. He has only been in office for a few days. Logically speaking, it is not his responsibility, but looking at the situation in front of him, he also knows that he cannot rectify the Forbidden Army.
More than half of them are newly arrived refugees, and there is a huge shortage of qualified lower-level generals. Since his family knows his own affairs, he really has no way to adjust, so he might as well abdicate and make way for others.
"The Northern Army's Zhonghou is of great importance to the three-army system, and an important minister must be appointed. Liu Gong must not refuse." Shao Xun said.
Liu Mo said "Alas" and cupped his hands without saying anything.
Last year when the Huns invaded, he took command of the battle, and the outcome was very disastrous. Seeing the officers and soldiers of the Forbidden Army showing signs of lax military discipline, they became even more disappointed and simply gave up their job.
Shao Xun was also a little disappointed with these people.
He sent more than ten generals to the left guard to lead the troops, some died in the battle and some were still there. Now it seems that the effect is not very good.
The environment can really affect people.
Or maybe there are too few people sent there. There is only the chief officer and no team. It is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without straw. Cleaning up military discipline cannot be done with just one order from the chief officer. After all, people are needed to execute it.
If people are not good enough, they will not be able to carry out the work, or it will go out of shape.
Wang Yan listened to the conversation between the two and nodded secretly.
Quan Zhong is still awake and knows what steps he can and cannot do.
If he gets his hands on the position of Zhonghou of the Northern Army, Chang'an, Jianye, and Jingzhou will immediately look sideways, and the situation will develop in an uncontrollable direction.
Moreover, the Northern Army Lieutenant Colonel is considered a court official and must attend the court meeting.
With his cautious look, would he dare to attend the court meeting without controlling the palace?
But he couldn't change the guards and palace attendants around the emperor. Wang Yan could do it reluctantly, but Shao Xun couldn't do it.
The roll call was still taking place, and after each roll was called, someone would report the number and compare it with the roster.
Shao Xun continued: "The Forbidden Army still needs to be properly reorganized. It is not just about being able to defeat the thieves in battle, but at least being able to rely on camps and cities to defend it. Such a purge for more than a year is enough. Today's roll call, Anyone who fails to respond after three calls will be beheaded without any reason. "
The generals of the Imperial Army had complicated expressions upon hearing this.
The generals who had followed Shao Xun for a long time were excited. They had wanted to do this for a long time, but every time they wanted to do this, there was resistance from top to bottom, and even caused riots.
Old Forbidden Army officers, refugee leaders, and beggar commanders who were unfamiliar with Shao Xun had troubled expressions. It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that it’s difficult to do.
Fortunately, today there are important officials from the imperial court, as well as the Silver Spear Army and the Yi Cong Army. Strict enforcement of military laws is not a problem.
Shao Xun doesn’t care what they think.
To be honest, he does not like this generation of the Forbidden Army at all, and does not want this kind of troops. He even has no idea of annexation. He was just helping Liu Mo and others reorganize their troops and improve their combat effectiveness.
The names were called quickly.
The officers began to call the names of those who did not arrive. Those who did not come after three calls were recorded, and then they led their soldiers to arrest them.
There was a sudden commotion in the field.
“Kill!” The silver gun soldiers hit the ground with their rifles and roared in unison.
The commotion quickly subsided.
Shao Xun withdrew his gaze, walked a few steps outside with Wang Yan, and said in a low voice: "I met with the emperor yesterday, and there should be no major events in a few months. However, things have changed, and the emperor may not be ready to take action. In this world, But we can't stand chaos."
"It doesn't matter." Wang Yan said: "After the defeat of Xin'an, no one will accompany the emperor to chaos."
"Give it to the emperor. How many people can be punished who came up with the idea?" Shao Xun asked.
"It's best not to." Wang Yan looked at Shao Xun with a rather scrutinizing look, and only heard him say: "It's not a big deal for you to purge the Forbidden Army. Anyway, Luoyang is already like this, there are many I'm afraid I'm begging you to rectify it. But punishing the minister is very risky, so you can't do it."
Shao Xun nodded and didn't force it.
Now there are some courtiers who hope that he will fully preside over the government, but to what extent they support it, how strong their desire is, and how much their overall influence is, they need further observation and testing.
"Then remove them from office." Shao Xun said: "Weave a charge and send them away."
Wang Yan frowned, obviously not wanting to do such a thing, but finally nodded.
"The position of Situ is vacant. The minister ordered Liu Gong (Liu Tun) to work hard and make great achievements. Maybe he can be appointed Situ?" Shao Xun suggested again.
“Who will be the minister?”
“Yu Shizhong (Yu Min) is okay.”
“After Yuzi leaves, who will take over the position of minister? "
"Lu Yuzhou is dignified, strong and quick, and can serve as a servant."
"Who is in charge of Yuzhou affairs?"
"Yang Ji has a thorough understanding of his studies. Xuan, with his elegant style, can control Yuzhou.”
“That’s all.”
Wang Yan slightly pushed the head.
After Shao Xun turned around, he stared at him for a long time.
This should be the first time, right?
For the first time, I inserted myself in the important position of the middle.
A book order, a waiter, is a bit eye -catching, but remains in size.
Wang Yan feels that his value is slowly decreased. In a few years, perhaps he could not even hold the identity of political allies, and he would be in a clear state of attachment.
But Shao Xun seems to be naturally doing this kind of thing. It is incredible to not do it.
After taking over the third cities of Heyang, his influence on Luoyang Chaotang was greatly enhanced, and his attitude would no longer avoid it.
>> and Lu Zhi are just the beginning. In the end, I probably want to turn the main officials into their own.
From cooperation to attachment, oh! Wang Yan was slightly lost.
"Spare your life!"
"I dare not do it again."
"After entering the camp, no one told me that the imperial army was so strict."
"Kill My people will not die well!”
The sergeants who were absent from the roll call were escorted over one after another, and they knelt on the ground crying for their fathers and mothers.
"Shut up. The law in the army is to beat drums to gather troops. Anyone who fails to respond after three calls will be immediately beheaded. There is nothing to say, behead him!"
Order, and the sword and axe-hands will also No nonsense, just cut off the heads of the soldiers who violated military discipline, then send them to the high platform and hand them over to Liu Mo, the Lieutenant Commander of the Northern Army, for inspection.
Liu Mo didn't even look at it. He waved his hand and said, "Hang your head above the gate as a warning to others."
Neither Shao nor Wang said anything.
Shao Xun, in particular, had already hardened his heart after killing many people. Beheading more than 200 people in an instant seemed as simple to him as eating and drinking.
"If there is no reward in the ban in the forbidden army, please pay a little bit as appropriate." He said.
Wang Yan has no opinion.
In fact, there is no need to send much, one or two fabrics per person, it mainly plays a role in stabilizing the military mind.
"Can there be people from Jianye and Changan in the middle of the DPRK?" Shao Xun asked again.
Wang Yan looked at him, smiling but silent.
Shao Xun is clear.
Just like Wang Yan cooperated with him, there must be officials in the DPRK and China. They also cooperated with Fang Bo, and even cooperated with him and cooperated with Sima Rui and others. This is normal.
You do not clean up the court, it must be the result.
The cleaning of Chaotang was unable to do it.
Wang Yan's brother Wang Dao can be in Jianye. Are there any political transactions between them? How is that possible!
It can even be said that most of the Langya Wang family's resources have been invested in Sima Rui's side. After all, hundreds of Wang family's children have moved there.
Wang Yan was forced to cooperate with him simply because he was close at hand.
Both of them get what they need, and there is no question of who owes the other.
It’s just that as the situation develops, one partner becomes stronger and stronger, and the other partner has fewer and fewer chips. Sooner or later, this relationship will change.
Shao Xun had no intention of concealing this change.
He is a martial artist, and he doesn't even bother to do that kind of dirty business. Everything is on the table. Wang Yan should have felt it today.
"There is one more thing." Shao Xun turned around, looked at Wang Yan, and said, "Has the matter in Xuzhou been settled?"
"Xun Taizhang asked himself to be the leader of Xuzhou As the governor, the court deems it appropriate, and he will also be in charge of the military affairs in Xuzhou," Wang Yan said.
"Forget it, let's do it." Shao Xun said.
Because of his opposition, Zu Ti failed to become the governor of Xuzhou, so he went to Jianye and served as a military counselor in the Sima Rui shogunate.
For as long as a year, the two chief officials in Xuzhou have been vacant.
The governor fell, because Xuzhou no longer had any soldiers, but the governor could not remain without it.
Xun Zu’s choice to leave Luoyang Chaotang and go out to town Xuzhou should be his own wish.
He can't be called anyone, he is considered a neutral faction, and both Shao Xun and Sima Rui can accept it. The imperial court obviously made him the governor of Xuzhou after some consideration.
"The affairs of the world are all settled here." Shao Xun said: "The Huns are not destroyed, so the court should keep them quiet. Don't let any more things happen where relatives will hate and enemies will be happy. These few days During the years, the situation in Henan gradually improved. After the three cities of Heyang were built, they could even counterattack Hanoi and threaten Bingzhou. All the princes in the court were talented, and their family's small wealth and resources were all in Henan. We should know which one is more important. "< br>
Wang Yan couldn't help but glance at Shao Xun.
This man is only twenty-six years old after the New Year, but he speaks in such a matter-of-fact manner.
To put it nicely, this is called being confident and looking around.
To put it harshly, this is called gaining power suddenly and getting carried away.
Wang Yan recalled it carefully.
This person seems to have never had the deep-rooted fear of family background and the emperor from the beginning to the end. This is actually incredible.
Even though Cao Mengde controlled the emperor in his hands, deep down he still had some respect for the imperial power.
There is nothing wrong with this person. He does not look like a native of Jin.
The soldiers he led have become more and more fierce and domineering in recent years.
Wang Yan knew very well that the atmosphere of the army is closely related to the general's personal temperament and military management style.
What kind of person the general is, he will lead the troops into what kind of person.
Looking at the big picture from the small, we can know who Shao Xun is.
Wang Yan’s face remained calm, his heart was churning, and his thoughts had drifted far away.
It seems that the unruly, arrogant and domineering attitude he has shown in the past ten years is not all an act. He is probably such a person.
God's instructions, Luo Shui's prophecies, Taibai Star Essence...
Wang Yan sighed secretly, he was only twenty-five or six years old.
Sometimes, age is indeed a huge advantage.
