Chapter 58: Bullying others with power
The army advanced westward, and everything went in detail. King Huai had to ask about it. The generals in the army had many complaints. Fortunately, Li Luo returned from it. Although King Huai was proud of his position, Li Luo was the ninth prince granted by Emperor Wanlong after all, and his father, Prince Chun, Li Chengye, was not something that King Huai had a small doctor.
What Li Luo wanted to do, the generals in the army did not object, and King Huai was not easy to stop him, but he was inevitably invincible to control the generals behind his back.
Fortunately, Li Luo attached great importance to the prevention of food and food and disease along the way, and most of the generals just complained and did not make any major troubles.
The only major conflict in the army was when the more than 10,000 troops led by Dou Sheng were controlled by Liu Ce in accordance with the resolution of the Central Army.
It was a good fashion at first, and in a few days, the officers and soldiers in these battalions were promoted to deputy commander of the army by Dou Sheng. Li Luo seemed to be afraid of Dou Sheng, and they were all arrogant and above all the members of Youzhou. Even if they saw those who were higher than their military ranks, they all looked up to the sky, which made the Youzhou army extremely dissatisfied. However, Liu Ce imposed restraint and had prestige in the army. When the soldiers of Youzhou heard the cold words and ridicule of Dou Sheng, they could only swallow their 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 the camp by himself. Li Luo saw that there was still some time before dinner, so he rode his horse and took Ni Qing and Ni Bai to check around the camp.
When I walked to the right side of the camp, I saw a group of people gathered together from afar. It was quite noisy. When I walked closer, I heard that it was Dou Sheng's soldiers who asked the Youzhou tribe to set up military tents for them.
In the past few days, the soldiers under Dou Sheng's command became more and more arrogant. They had to eat all three meals in the army before letting others use them again. If they were not satisfied, they would verbally abuse them. The soldiers of Youzhou were already unable to bear it. Today, they changed their strength and asked the soldiers of Youzhou to set up military tents for them.
Several Youzhou soldiers and Dou Sheng's subordinates became quarrel with each other, and soon surrounded many people. A guerrilla general under Dou Sheng stood in the field and pointed at the Youzhou soldiers and scolded them.
Seeing that both sides were about to use force, General Xuanwu Shi Chong, who happened to be General Xuanwu, returned to the camp from the central army. He passed by here and came over to ask clearly and persuaded him a few words. He never thought that this guerrilla general even cursed Shi Chong. He didn't take it seriously even if Li Luo came, he wouldn't take it seriously, let alone General Shi Chong, who was the general Xuanwu.
Shi Chong was originally a powerful general and had a very strong temper. He was specifically told by Liu Ce to suppress his anger these days. He was secretly annoyed in his heart. He didn't want to persuade him today and be ridiculed by others. He was so angry that he wanted to take action.
Seeing the soldiers of Youzhou surrounded him, the man panicked and moved Dou Sheng and Li Luo out with a slutty look. He said that Li Luo would also give Dou Shuai a 70% face, which angered Dou Shuai, and no one would have any good results.
Shi Chong was furious and raised his fist and was about to take action. The guerrilla general quickly shouted, and the soldiers from Dou Sheng's army were unsheathed and pointed at the soldiers in Youzhou.
Li Luo was furious. The fights in the army were never stopped. Some generals secretly encouraged soldiers to fight each other, but they had clear orders that they prohibited swords, guns, swords and halberds. Fighting, but no one could be killed. If they use swords, guns and guns in the camp without authorization, the minority of them would be expelled from the army, and the worst of them would be beheaded. Unexpectedly, Dou Sheng's troops were no longer in sight.
Seeing that the Youzhou tribes also pressed the handle of the knife, Li Luo shouted: "Stop."
Shi Chong looked back and hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "It's the general, retreat quickly."
The soldiers of Youzhou bowed and retreated.
Li Luo walked into the crowd. When the guerrilla general saw Li Luo coming, he waved his hand to ask the soldiers behind him to put away their weapons and salute Li Luo, but did not speak, and there was a hint of arrogant look between his eyebrows.
Li Luo frowned and said, "Those who are good at using swords and guns will be punished severely. Don't you know the military rules?"
The guerrilla general clasped his fists and said loudly: "General, the Youzhou army relied on their large numbers and had never taken Dou Shuai into his eyes. They were just a few of them who were rude and had to take action. Only then did we draw our swords to defend."
Li Luo smiled anxiously and said, "Okay, okay. Our army of Gansu has its own military rules. Although we can't help fighting, if the armed person is the least, the revolutionary army will be the worst, and the serious one will be the beheaded. Even if the Youzhou army wants to fight with you, don't you dare to fight back?"
The guerrilla general sneered: "They have a lot of people and we have to keep our fists empty, wouldn't we be fools?"
Li Luo was stunned. He had never seen a guerrilla general in the army dared to be so presumptuous. Ni Qing shouted behind him: "Do you dare to speak like this in front of the general? Are you impatient to live!"
The guerrilla general on the opposite side was then shocked. He remembered that Li Luo was the commander of the three armies, and hurriedly bowed and said, "The General is clear about it. It was the Youzhou army that was responsible for the cause. The last general and his soldiers were helpless to come up with this bad strategy. I hope the general will forgive him. The last general will go to Dou Shuai's account to apologize for punishment in a while."
Shi Chong shouted angrily: "Fart, what's wrong with us?"
Li Luo interrupted Shi Chong and said angrily to the guerrilla general: "The clever words and despise him, and he is so arrogant. Who gives you the courage? Let's not talk about whether what you said is true, but you dare to aim your sword at the superiors in the army. Look at your uniform being just a small guerrilla general. General Shi is General Xuanwu of the Great Gansu. If the following crimes are enough to rule you according to the law of the army, is General Dou leading the army like this?"
The guerrilla general defended: "The last general only listened to Dou Shuai's order in the army."
"Shut up!" Li Luo shouted loudly, "All troops in the army are living equally. Shuai Dou tells you to wait for the Gao Youzhou Army? The camp tent is actually built on behalf of others. I have been watching outside for a while, and I don't want to have such a disaster like you in the Western Expedition Army." After saying that, he seemed to be trying to argue.
Li Luo was furious and shouted: "General Xuanwei Shi Chong!"
"The last one will be there." Shi Chong stepped forward and replied loudly.
"Draw the sword and take down all these soldiers who disrespect military discipline. If there are any rebels, they will be killed without mercy." As soon as he finished speaking, Ni Qing and Ni Bai were all out of the sword and sword, snatched the front a few steps and protected Li Luo.
Shi Chong was overjoyed and shouted loudly: "My sons, search the guys and take them down."
"Who dares!" The guerrilla general was shocked and shouted wildly. All the soldiers under his command surrounded him and drew their swords together.
The Youzhou Army has been full of anger these days. At this time, seeing Li Luo and Shi Chong support each of them, they all picked up weapons and forced Dou Sheng's troops with murderous intent.
At this moment, several cavalry rushed in the distance. Before the people arrived, they heard a loud shout: "Stop anyone who is in the army, stop me!" Closer, the general shouted angrily: "Shi Chong, what are you doing? Why don't you put down the weapons in your hand?" But it was Dou Sheng and Liu Ce.
Shi Chong glanced at Li Luo, whose face was plain and light without any turbulence.
Shi Chong raised his head slightly, and the Youzhou army on the outside gave up a passage. Dou Sheng arrived and did not dismount when he arrived at the field. He raised his horse whip and pointed at Shi Chong and was about to speak when he suddenly saw Li Luo in the field.
Dou Sheng was shocked, and quickly turned over and dismounted, stepped forward and bowed, "General, why are you here?"
Before Li Luo could speak, the guerrilla general shouted: "Ship Dou, help me."
"Shut up." Dou Sheng said angrily, "You haven't put away the weapons." Seeing the troops put away the weapons, Dou Sheng smiled and said, "General, it's just that the soldiers are impulsive. What happens in the army often, General Shi, you should also take away the weapons."
Shi Chong snorted coldly, looked at Li Luo, without giving an order, a trace of viciousness flashed across Dou Sheng's face and then disappeared.
He smiled and said, "General, you have been in the army for a short time and don't know these things. After waiting for a long time, you will know that the soldiers are all full of blood and these things are inevitable."
Li Luo said coldly: "As soon as General Dou came, you can know everything that happened in front of him. Is General Dou really predictable or is it that General Dou was instructed?"
Dou Sheng was stunned and looked back at the guerrilla general. He saw that he lowered his head and did not dare to look at him. Dou Sheng knew it was going to be bad, so he forced himself to say, "General."
Li Luo interrupted Dou Sheng with a wave of his hand and frowned and said, "General Shi, don't take it down yet."
"Yes." Shi Chong raised his weapons, and the Youzhou army disarmed the guerrilla general and his soldiers on the field like a wolf. Liu Ce said aloud, and before he could speak, everyone had been captured. Shi Chong walked to Li Luo and replied loudly: "Report to the General, all those who violate the military rules will be taken down. Please tell the General."
Li Luo glanced at the people in the field, looked at Dou Sheng, the general of the sturdy warrior who had a red and white face, and said lightly: "Put this guerrilla general out of the camp and beheaded the public, and the rest of them were forty military sticks to correct the military rules."
Dou Sheng was stunned. Unexpectedly, Li Luo was inclined to kill. The guerrilla general wailed and shouted: "Ship Dou, save me!"
Dou Sheng hurriedly said: "General, even if the subordinates of the last general are guilty, they will not die. Please ask the general to make a statement. The last general will punish them strictly to serve as a warning to others."
Li Luo said coldly: "General Dou, do you know what military rules your subordinates violated?"
Dou Sheng was speechless and looked at his subordinates. He wanted him to shirk a few words quickly. Unexpectedly, the guerrilla general just kept calling Dou Shuai to save me, and said nothing else. Dou Sheng cursed in his heart and had no idea for a moment.
Li Luo continued: "Bullying others with power, the following are the superiors, they fight with weapons privately and insult their colleagues. Even when they see me, the commander of the three armies, dare to speak cleverly and be unrepentant. Those who only listen to General Dou in the army can even ignore the orders of General Dou, right?"
Dou Sheng was shocked and knelt down quickly and said, "General, this is just a lie that the subordinates of the general said in a moment. How dare the general raise private soldiers in the army? Please investigate clearly."
"There is no better thing. You can find the soldiers in your camp to ask clearly and see if I have any subordinates who wronged you, come and lead you to kill them."
Shi Chong didn't expect that Li Luo, who was gentle and elegant, would get angry when he was angry. The fifth-rank general was killed and had no idea for a moment. He looked up at Liu Ce. Liu Ce coughed dryly and went forward and said, "General."
