Eight hundred and ninetieth chapters into the battle (seven)(1/2)
Cui Lie knew very well that the "a few of us" that Zang Tu said must be the generals leading troops in Jinyang City today.
Those who can discuss such things with Zang Tu are the few Yingyang and the Eagle Fighter Generals. As for the lieutenant, it depends on the degree of closeness and distantness of the relationship.
Only those who can be called confidants like me are qualified to attend the audience.
Although the military power of Jinyang is in the hands of Li Yuanji, relying solely on military talismans and arrows, tens of thousands of people cannot obey the orders as if they are armed and fingered.
The control of an army will eventually be completed through grassroots troops in the future.
In other words, what really decided to do the Jinyang army was not Li Yuanji's order or Li Yuan's imperial edict, but Zang Tu and his chief officers, as well as his own brigade commander, team leader, and fire chief... Through this layer by layer structure, a complete army was formed.
The most basic soldiers actually have no subjective motivation.
The daily training in the army is to erase the edges and corners of soldiers, so that they do not have their own thoughts and act in accordance with the command of the officers.
If this is not done, it will be difficult to complete military orders on the battlefield.
As time goes by, the soldiers gradually gave up thinking and acted according to the will of the chief officer.
No matter how dissatisfied you are, as long as no one comes out to take the lead, others dare not say anything. At most, they will curse behind their backs like Cui Lie.
The military generals are actually similar. The small officers obey the command of middle-level officers, while the middle-level officers obey the top leaders.
However, this is limited to normal circumstances. If you even rebel when the rituals collapse and music are broken, then the original rank is not as important as martial arts and fame.
This situation does not exist in the six Hedong prefectures. After getting along with each other over the years, we have long formed a stable interpersonal network.
In addition to the superior and inferior ranks, there are also social relationships such as friendship and relatives, and there will be no situations below.
If Zang Tu and several Ying Yanglang generals really reach an agreement, it will not be difficult to launch a mutiny.
But the question is not whether the mutiny can succeed, but how it ends.
Everyone knows that it is impossible for Jinyang to overturn Li Yuan's dragon throne or successfully divide the country with this little force alone.
This is not the year when Gao Huan rose to power. Although he suppressed the aristocratic families after the establishment of the Great Sui Dynasty, the people still returned to the way of thinking that emphasizes family background.
The reason why everyone is willing to assist Li Yuan is not only because he cherishes his soldiers and is generous, but also because his family is prominent and he is the leader of the northern family.
He was even close to the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, and was all people in the circle, so it makes sense whoever replaces him.
Now, there is no second Li Yuan in Jinyang City. It’s okay to have a fight between men and women, but it’s impossible to make trouble.
No one will support themselves, and even the army will not support them in fact raise the anti-flag.
Being bullied by Li Yuanji is so painful that everyone can make trouble.
If you really want to be enemies of the Li family, you will soon mutiny and disintegrate.
Can’t Zang Tu see what he can see?
Or is he really confused and wants to take Yu Culture and which path?
Seeing Cui Lie silent, Zang Tu laughed: "What are you thinking about, you bird man?
Our gang of rough embryos do not have the emperor's fate.
You don’t have to be afraid, we won’t think about taking over the country, and I don’t even want the life of the Sanhu.
We just made a fuss with the saint, letting him know that the Sanhu could not sit steadily in Jinyang.
If he wants to keep his hometown, he has to change someone to take charge."
Cui Lie breathed a sigh of relief, and the stone in his heart finally dropped.
"Yingyang means, clamor?"
This is a common method used by soldiers in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. A group of soldiers surrounded their chief officials to make trouble, either to reward them or to drink or to eat or to be a woman.
In short, we need to express our dissatisfaction and let the chief officer improve his or her own treatment.
The veteran is the best at doing this. He knows how to make trouble so that the chief officer can be scared, and he won't really tear the face and make trouble so out of control.
After a quarrel, let’s have a good talk and what will happen in the end.
The soldiers still obey the dispatch of the chief officer, and the chief officer also knows what he has done wrong, so this kind of thing happens.
After all, it is all about the military man who dies in troubled times. As a military man, he has more ways to hold his superiors hostage.
This kind of trouble will not affect each other's superiority, nor will it turn against each other.
Of course, senior officers will not show up during this process, and will only come forward and mediate for both sides after they have agreed.
Several officials from Yingyang Mansion took the lead in making trouble, but they were afraid that it would be the first one.
Zang Tu sighed: "This is impossible, who told me that this time I met a prince.
Who can withstand us, who are the generals, if we don’t make a move?
Even if you retreated at that time and pursue it in the future, will your head still want?
We had no choice but to raise the eagle and attack the eagle, and we all tied our lives together to make the saint afraid.
If we weren't really impatient, we wouldn't be willing to make trouble at this point, and there was nothing we could do about it.
When you were traveling to the camp, we agreed.
The hardest thing in this matter is you.”
Cui Lie thought for a while and grinned: "You bird people, aren't you going to do it tonight?"
“Can such a thing be afforded?
If we change our minds, we will lose our heads if we make a mistake.
So I have to do something tonight and catch it off guard.
Drive the Sanhu back to Chang'an and let's discuss with the saint.
It's just..." "I just inserted me into the camp during the day, and there was a mutiny at night. No matter what, we are the culprits, and this head will definitely not be kept.
If we sit down and make peace in the future, we will definitely be unforgivable."
Zang Tu didn't hide it and nodded: "So there is a second way."
"Let our Lao Cui be a corrupt and go to Sanhu to report it?"
Zang Tu looked calm: "This is always a way to survive."
"This is a bird's way to live!"
Cui Lie cursed: "If we go this path, we will be stabbed in our backbone in our lives, and we will be scolded as ungrateful everywhere we go.
If you have such a reputation, what's the point of living? Isn't it just death?
A big scar in my head, we have been preparing to die from the day we went into battle!”
He glanced at Zang Tu: "You are pulling my incompetent kids for me."
I'm not polite to you, there must be at least one lieutenant among them..." "As long as I'm here, I guarantee one of them will do an eagle strike.
Several of them are my adopted sons. My wife was not good at it and only gave birth to two girls, all of which were your son’s wives.”
"You know what you are. If you don't say it, I have to let you do this."
Cui Lie smiled bitterly and said, "There are two more things, one is to exchange Erlang for it.
I don't feel at ease if anyone is here except him.
The Li family's children are just alone and still look a little bit.
And the other one is the Hu Gou, Zhibisli! There are people on both sides who are about to die, so I have to pull him down and take the mat!”
“What’s the point of pulling him on the back?
A man’s method is to cut his dog’s head with one knife!”
Zang Tu looked at Cui Lie: "Can you still hold a knife?"
"What bird talk?
Now you can grab Zhibisli and see if the grandfather can chop his head!"
Zang Tu came here, in addition to explaining Genyou to Cui Lie and asking his old friend about his attitude, more importantly, he needed someone to stand out.
Cui Lie's reputation is enough to serve as the initiator of a mutiny, and his identity can also be held responsible for calming Li Yuan's anger, and he has an explanation for all aspects.
After the plan was decided, Cui Lie asked Zang Tu to call in again the military men who had driven out before.
Not long after, these soldiers walked out of the tent and boarded their horses and left.
After about an hour, someone came with these military men and entered Cui Lie's camp one after another.
These people are all generals of our government. Although the rank is not high, they all have real power. They each have a certain amount of troops in their hands. Two of them even control the scouts outside the city.
Everyone was full of anger when they entered the tent, and their anger dissipated when they left, and replaced it with an excitement that they tried desperately to suppress but could not control it.
There was a smell of restlessness in the air. The old soldiers who had been in the army for many years had already felt something was wrong and turned their attention to their chief officers.
Try to capture some clues from your superiors.
But when they see their boss's expression, they either become serious or frustrated, and more often they act profoundly and scold the new recruit, saying that they have little knowledge and cannot withstand big scenes.
After cursing, he whispered: "It's just a few days of good days."
