Chapter 181 It’s better to kill one person than to stick ten people
Li Ke returned to the Governor's Office and summoned Xu Jingzong and Su Dingfang to the study to discuss the banquet at the Governor's Office today. He believed that the conflict between the Governor's Office in Bingzhou might be a bureau, and someone deliberately set up a bureau for him.
The candlelight swayed in the study and the atmosphere was dull. Li Ke told Xu Jingzong and Su Dingfang about his conversation in Li Yan's study. Both of them remained silent after listening.
Li Ke himself was also thinking that if it was really like Li Yan said, then this matter was indeed difficult to deal with.
First of all, there will be no one else except Changsun Wuji who can start planning the affairs of Bingzhou when he is on a mission to the Turks. Secondly, there are only Changsun Wuji who can make Li Ji obey him. Li Shimin is impossible, so there is only Changsun Wuji.
Li Ke connected what he thoughts in his heart and became this story, and the matter became like this: After he and Hou Ruoyi met, Changsun Wuji began to plan the prince's wedding to attack him. When he knew that he would definitely make contributions to the court after he came back on a mission to the Turks, he might not be able to achieve fatal results. Therefore, he designed the incident against him by the governor of Bingzhou. However, Li Ke had two points in between. How could Changsun Wuji know that he could return to Chang'an alive? Second, how could he know that Li Shimin would demote him to Bingzhou.
"Your Highness, if this matter is really planned as you said, and this person is Changsun Wuji," Xu Jingzong said for a moment of silence, "What is his purpose?"
"The purpose is to prevent me from controlling the military power of the Bingzhou Grand Governor's Office?" Li Ke shook his head and denied, "I'm afraid it's not that simple, right?"
"What Your Highness said is that it is understandable if others think of the military power of the Governor's Office. If Changsun Wuji's plan is definitely wrong, it would be impossible to plan conspiracy with his personality. "Xu Jingzong said calmly, "So I think we don't have to think too much about the conspiracy behind this matter. The most important thing is to solve the current problem first and control the power of the Governor's Office in our own hands. As long as we solve the generals of the Governor's Office control the military power of the entire Bingzhou, it will disrupt Changsun Wuji's deployment. At that time, Changsun Wuji will have another trick to deal with it calmly, which will make him afraid of us."
"Hey! Now I can only do this first, and I will talk about it when I solve the problem in front of me!" Li Ke said, "I wonder what you two have?"
"What Yan clan said makes sense. Your Highness's plan for now is to first solve the hostile sentiment of the generals of the Governor's Office and the problem of the troops of the Governor's Office." Su Dingfang suggested.
"Well, it should be like this," Li Ke said in thought, "What do you two think about the hostility of the generals of the Governor's Office in front of you to me? What are the good solutions?"
"Your Highness, generals, marching and fighting, and commanding troops. It is better to kill one person than to stick ten people to the military orders, kill a chicken to warn monkeys, and use a warning to others." Su Dingfang said very seriously, "The generals in the army have always been upright and do not like to beat around the bush. If we use strategies too much, we will fall undermineering. Not only will we not convince the generals, but we will also give soldiers an impression of using conspiracies and tricks, which will lead to their disgust."
"Well——" Li Ke nodded. Su Dingfang, who was a soldier, is worthy of being a general. In his heart, he is the most decisive quality that a general should possess. This is the case with the military camp in peacetime, and on the battlefield, a trace of invisible sinister flashed across Li Ke's face, "Kill the chicken to warn the monkey - a good way to warn the monkey, haha, just do as Dingfang means that the camp outside the city will be the Mao point tomorrow. I want to see how brave Guo Xiaoke and the others are." Li Ke smiled domineeringly, "Dingfang, tomorrow you will lead three thousand cavalry to the military camp outside the city with me."
"No——" Su Dingfang replied.
"Yan tribe, the position of the chief officer of the Governor's Office is very important. I hope you can take on this responsibility." Li Ke suddenly said irrelevantly.
"Your Highness--this?" Xu Jingzong paused for a moment and said happily, "I will definitely not let Your Highness down." Xu Jingzong did not expect that Li Ke would let him serve as the chief officer of the Governor's Office to join the army. Xu Jingzong is now only a seventh-rank prince, and the general officer of the Great Governor's Office to join the army is from the fourth-rank official position. How could Xu Jingzong be unhappy?
The next day, Taiyuan Mansion was still immersed in the twilight in winter, like a sleeping baby, quiet and calm. The five hundred wolf cavalry outside the Governor's Mansion was ready to go, and Xiao Sha's cold face made them look like the god of death in hell. Li Ke, surrounded by Chen Qi and the Eagle Guards, left the Governor's Mansion and Xu Jingzong to go straight to the military camp outside the city. When Li Ke and his group arrived at the gate of Taiyuan Mansion, Su Dingfang's three thousand cavalry had already gathered, and the generals guarding the city did not dare to neglect, so they hurried down the city tower to salute Li Ke.
"Open the city gate!" Li Ke said coldly.
"Squeak----" Outside the city, it was like a woman lamenting. Li Ke ignored everyone and urged the horse to pass by, the Eagle Guard, the Wolf Cavalry, and the Iron Cavalry followed closely behind. The guard who was kneeling on the ground looked at the iron cavalry like a devil coming out of hell, and the faint blood-red morning light appeared in the meager clouds in the east. The guarding general who was kneeling on the ground suddenly trembled. He felt that the blood-red scene in the east sky would happen in the Bingzhou Military Camp outside the city.
The soldier standing guard on the watchtower about a few meters high outside the Bingzhou military camp gate suddenly exclaimed, "Carriage-Soldier?" Because the distance was far away, he immediately sounded the ox horn in the military camp.
"Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo!" As soon as the horn sounded, the Bingzhou camp was like a pot of explosion, and the soldiers began to gather in chaos. Liang Chong, the head of the military camp, walked out of the main tent in a mess, grabbed a soldier who ran over and asked, "What's going on? What's going on?"
"Report to General, there is an enemy attack." The soldier said nervously.
"Bastard" Liang Chong cursed, "Taiyuan Prefecture is an important town in the Tang Dynasty. How can an enemy attack me not know? It's all a bunch of waste, and the rice bucket--" Liang Chong cursed. However, as soon as he finished speaking, the earth began to shake, and the sound of horse hooves "splash-splash-splash" came from far and near.
"Prepare the horse quickly - prepare for the battle-" Liang Chong shouted.
However, before his war horse was brought in and his sword was obtained, Li Ke and 3,600 cavalry had already rushed into the Bingzhou military camp. Li Ke wanted to see the reaction of the Bingzhou military camp to the enemy's attack, so he decided on the plan for this surprise attack with Su Dingfang after leaving the city. When they quickly rushed to the outside of the camp, the Bingzhou camp was still in chaos. The general guarding the gate saw that it was Li Ke and let him enter the military camp, so Li Ke came to the commander's tent so quickly and smoothly.
"The last general Liang Chong met His Highness--" Liang Chong was panicked and hurriedly bowed to Li Ke.
"See Your Highness--" the generals and soldiers in the military camp shouted at the same time.
"Liang Chong, maintain order in the military camp - beat the drum and gather generals!" Li Ke said expressionlessly.
"No." Liang Chong said respectfully. It was the hour of Mao. Li Ke suddenly beat the drum and gathered the generals. He didn't know what the King of Han and the Grand Governor of Bingzhou wanted to do, but he didn't dare to ask and could only accept the order.
"Dongdong-Dongdong-Dongdong-Dongdong!" Li Ke sat in the coach's tent and heard the drums in the military camp. He had a serious expression and cold eyes, "Su Lie--"
"The last one will be there." Su Dingfang bowed.
"I ordered you to lead the wolf cavalry to the gate to supervise the army. If you dare to lose after the Three Drums, you can take me to the commander's tent to engage in military law." Li Ke said sternly.
"No." Su Dingfang received the order and issued the commander's tent.
Su Dingfang walked out of the commander's tent, and Li Ke began to look through the booklets above the military camp's tent table, and found that they were records of daily inspections in the army. Li Ke threw the book on the table and looked at Chen Qi. Chen Qi took out a book from his body and handed it to Li Ke. Li Ke opened the page and began to read it seriously.
"Li Mengchang, General of the Zuoying, the Grand Commander's Office of Bingzhou, met with the Grand Commander." Li Mengchang was the first general to come to the military camp after beating the drum.
"Well! General Li, please sit down." Li Ke nodded and continued to read his "Sun Tzu's Art of War". Li Meng said with his fists, "Thank you, the Grand Commander." Then he sat in the second position on the right.
After a while, the sound of drums outside the tent started again, "Dongdong-dong-dong-dong!" Li Ke was unmoved, and Li Meng was calm and calm.
"Report to the Grand Governor, the Chief of the Governor's Office, and the Sima Sun Erlang of the Governor's Office met with the Grand Governor, and the Chief of the School Guard Guo Shifeng." Guo Xiaoke and Sun Erlang came together. The key was that Guo Xiaoke was worried that Sun Erlang, a reckless young man, was afraid that he would disobey Li Ke's military orders, so he deliberately went to his mansion to come to the military camp with him before leaving the city.
"Shistor Guo, please sit down." After Li Ke said that, he continued to read, and then the generals in the army began to gather in the general's tent, such as Sima Wang Chong, the generals of the Governor's Office, and other generals. The generals of the Governor's Office, Gongcao, and the military officers of the Governor's Office, were all sitting in the center of the tent, waiting for Li Ke's orders.
However, at this time, Guo Xiaoke was very anxious. Looking around, he found that there was still someone in the Governor's Office who had not arrived. He was the record officer Xu Hui. Could it be that Xu Hui dared to openly turn against the Han King against the authority of the Han King Bingzhou Governor? Guo Xiaoke couldn't help but look pale when he thought about this. He glanced at Sun Erlang and Wang Chong opposite him, and saw that the two of them were also confused, and felt more and more that things were not good.
"Dongdong-Dongdong-Dongdong-Dongdong!" The drum sound was like a hammer outside the tent. It hurt in Guo Xiaoke's heart. He understood the consequences of those who could not beat the drum and gather together, which was equivalent to publicly disobeying military orders. The mild ones were like being dismissed during normal training, and the severe ones were beheaded if they were on the battlefield.
The drums stopped, Li Ke placed the book on the desk, looked around, looked around, looked at everyone without saying a word. The tent was lifted, and the person who walked in was Liang Chong, "Your Highness--" Before he finished speaking, Li Ke waved his hand to stop him, and scolded in a cold tone, "There is only the Grand Governor of the military camp, but not the His Highness, and only the military law without the private affairs."
"No." Liang Chong did not dare to look at Li Ke's face, especially his eyes. His heart suddenly became cold, and his body seemed to become a little cold. He forced himself to breathe, "Report to the Grand Governor, the riots in the soldiers in the Bingzhou military camp must be stable, the military camp has returned to normal, and the last general will come to report."
