Chapter 78:
Beauties bring disaster! The ancients were indeed right. Sima Rui listened to Wu Siyuan recounting everything that happened in the capital. Although his uncle had also written a letter and told some of it, Wu Siyuan told it in more detail and in depth. Sima Rui came from a noble family.
, of course, we know the cruelty and danger in this kind of war without gunpowder. This time, His Majesty the Emperor decided to protect the eldest prince. Otherwise, after a thorough investigation, everyone will be unable to escape. The eldest prince may be okay in the end, but like himself
The little shrimp will definitely become a scapegoat. He is the general of Lu City, and smuggling happened under his nose. If he doesn’t cure himself, who will he cure? He is simply a born scapegoat. Look at the fate of that Suo Wenhai, everyone in the family
destroy.
Looking at Wu Siyuan's calm face, Sima Rui wished he could have punched him yesterday and beat his face to pieces to relieve his hatred. However, he could only think about this idea. The status difference between him and Wu Siyuan was too far, so he didn't say anything.
In addition, when such a big thing happened, Wu Siyuan was fine and sat leisurely in front of him, which was proof. This was the person who held the eldest prince's core secret.
This gave Sima Rui a strong sense of crisis. He was not a particularly important figure in the Sima family to begin with. The fact that he was able to get the position of Lord General of City Lu was the result of his usual efforts to curry favor with his uncle Sima Ren. This time, he was just lucky.
Okay, but what if there is a next time?
If you want to avoid being pushed out as a scapegoat after something happens, you must have enough weight. This weight means that no one dares to touch you easily, and now, you obviously cannot meet this requirement. Wu Siyuan
In front of his uncle Sima Ren, he was not so happy, and his uncle would not give him such great honor.
Sima Rui snorted in his heart, one day he will be stronger than his uncle.
"This is the last batch of goods. Then all transactions related to this must be stopped." Wu Siyuan said: "This time the quantity of goods is large, General Sima must be careful."
Sima Rui nodded, "Don't worry, nothing will go wrong in Lucheng. But outside of Lucheng, I can't guarantee it. Now after defeating Albugu, the horse bandits in Yingzuiyan have become more powerful and are rampant in the desert.
, even several Mongolian tribes were wiped out by them, Mr. Wu must ask the Mongolian people not to cause any problems."
"This time, the Meng people are also paying close attention to it. There will be big shots coming to pick up the goods, and even the big tent soldiers will come to escort the goods. If the Yingzuiyan horse bandits don't come, that's fine. If they come, they won't be able to go back.
"Wu Siyuan sneered.
"In that case, I'm relieved!" Sima Rui said, "After this is done, will Mr. Wu go back to Beijing?"
"I'm going back to Beijing temporarily. I'm going to reorganize other industries for the great prince first and avoid the limelight this time." Wu Siyuan said.
"Will there be any sequelae from this matter?" Sima Rui was a little worried.
"Sequelae?" Wu Siyuan chuckled and glanced at Sima Rui, "General Sima, you have seen it. In order to prevent the Fourth Prince from investigating, His Majesty the Emperor moved the Fourth Prince to the south to avoid being an eyesore in the capital. From this point on
, you can see the status of the eldest prince in His Majesty's heart. If we change someone else, it will really be over this time, so don't have anything to worry about, the eldest prince will take care of it for us, not to mention!"
Wu Siyuan looked around, leaned down, and whispered: "According to reliable information, His Majesty the Emperor has begun to cough up blood. There are not many days left. When the eldest prince ascends the throne, the day will come when you will achieve great success."
Sima Rui was surprised at first, and then overjoyed, "This is all Mr. Wu's cultivation!"
Wu Siyuan laughed loudly and patted Sima Rui on the shoulder, "This is the reward for General Sima's hard work. The eldest prince is very clear about rewards and punishments. He never hesitates to reward meritorious officials."
Sima Rui could half believe Wu Siyuan's words. As a son of a noble family, he knew that with his current strength, the eldest prince might not even be able to remember his own name. If he wanted the eldest prince to notice him after he ascended the throne,
, then you must have considerable strength, and now, Lucheng is your base, and the more than 10,000 border troops here are your foundation.
"Everyone!" Sima Rui sat in the hall and looked at the five generals sitting on both sides of the hall. "Why do we serve as soldiers on the border with our heads high? To put it more grandly, it is to protect our country.
To put it simply, the purpose of being small is to get promoted and make a fortune. In order to be able to get drunk on the knees of beautiful women and gain the power to kill people, this feeling of holding thousands of lives and deaths in one hand must be experienced by everyone now, right?
"
Hearing what Sima Rui said, Yao Meng, Qiao Zifang, Li Jian, Wang Zhuang, and Qu Lu all laughed knowingly. His words were rough and unreasonable, but they touched everyone's hearts.
"So, why do we do this? Everyone, just rely on the thousands of soldiers in your hands. They are the foundation of your rapid rise. Without them, you are nothing. Of course, without you, I am nothing." Sima
Rui slammed the table.
"But now do we have the capital to lie down on the knees of beauties and seize the power to kill people? No! With the strength we have now, even one person can destroy us. You have been soldiers on the border for a long time, and you have never seen such talks.
In a moment of laughter, tens of millions of people can disappear into nothing, but I have seen and experienced it.”
The generals under the tent looked at Sima Rui's livid face and wondered what kind of stimulation he had received, but when they heard what he said was serious, they all puffed up their chests and looked at him intently.
"So, starting from today, I don't want to see any deductions or shortfalls in the army. Every battalion must be fully staffed or even expanded. As long as you can recruit soldiers, I can meet them."
I'll give you a military salary. You generals, if you don't have enough money to spend, come to me and I'll give it to you. The ugly words are ahead. If I discover the phenomena I mentioned, don't worry, I will punish you with military law.
." Sima Rui stared at the generals with murderous intent.
The five battalion generals Huo Di stood up and said, "I will obey the general's teachings and die under the general's command!"
"Very good!" A smile appeared on Sima Rui's face, "If we want to control our own destiny, we must have the strength to control our own destiny. Now, we have to put our tail between our legs and be a human being, because we have no strength, but I hope
One day, we can hold our chests high and be human, and let others tuck their proud tails in front of us."
"yes!"
"Yao Meng!"
"The end is here!"
"A few days ago, an arrow from the Black Evil of Yingzui Rock made you stop, and you watched helplessly as the Black Evil killed people in front of you, right?" Sima Rui asked.
Yao Meng's heart skipped a beat, he took a step forward and knelt down on one knee, "Yes, General, please punish me!"
"What a crime!" Sima Rui laughed, "You did the right thing. With the strength of the 300 cavalry you brought that day, if you encounter Heisha's more than 100 elite horse bandits, if you fight in vain, you will definitely be defeated.
, then I have to punish you. You can bear the humiliation and preserve your strength in the face of such a provocation. This is the performance of a seasoned general. I will hand over these three hundred cavalry to your first battalion. It seems to be my purpose.
correct!"
"Thank you for your understanding, General." Yao Meng relaxed.
"Come here, bring him up!" Following Sima Rui's voice, two guards from the General's Mansion came up escorting a man in sentry uniforms, and made the man kneel down. "This man is the one who reported to me that you surrendered to the horse."
Yao Meng was startled and looked at the man, who was his own cavalry sentry general. "This kind of bastard doesn't know the importance, is self-righteous, jumps over the rank to report, wants to flatter and please, and messes with our military discipline. This is intolerable."
Ren, push it down and chop it!"
When the sentry general shouted for mercy, all the generals in the hall were shocked. Today, they finally saw another side of Sima Rui.
"Generals, I trust you, and I hope you will not disappoint me. I hope that one day in the future, when we send troops to fight, I will see a mighty army. But now, I am still not satisfied."
"Please rest assured, general, we will definitely strengthen our training. We will not let you down," the generals said in unison.
"Very good, I have remembered what you said, and I will go to your military camp to check at any time." Sima Rui laughed, "Okay, after talking about the business, it's time to have fun. I'm getting ready at Taibai Tower.
There's a good banquet on the table, let's go together."
All the generals were very happy. Today they were a little frightened by Sima Rui's hard or soft rubbing. It would be good to relax for a while.
"General!" She Wenzhuang hurriedly came from the back hall, leaned over and whispered a few words in Sima Rui's ear. Sima Rui frowned, thought for a moment, and said to Yao Meng and others, "General Yao,
You are the oldest, so you will act as my proxy today. I have something urgent to deal with here, so I cannot go."
"General, please excuse me!" Yao Meng and others clasped their fists and said goodbye before leaving.
Seeing everyone walking out of the lobby, Sima Rui turned around and asked, "Is Pi Dingqiu seeking death? How dare he bring a big shot from the Mongolian people to my general's residence?"
"General, that person is Azis. He said that he had an important matter to interview with the general. I saw that he didn't seem to be lying, so I agreed on behalf of the general. Now Azis is waiting in the side hall."
