The soldiers in Xicheng and the border city began to feel uneasy.
There are also many people who are secretly working together, and even some low-level military attachés are very attracted to the Yu family army.
I can't help but be moved.
Power has always been in the form of a pyramid, whether it is Feng Jiajun or Shi Jiajun, the only people who can really eat meat, drink wine, and enjoy wealth are only the top few.
Many middle and low-level generals live a better life than ordinary soldiers.
Seeing that the soldiers of the old Yu family army next door were enjoying delicious food and spicy food, and they were adequately cared for even if they were injured or died.
Unlike me, who is now a team leader and a school captain, my life is still very embarrassing.
Thinking about it, there are all kinds of imbalances.
A certain idea in my mind is growing like a weed.
Feng Lang didn't know that people in his military camp had begun to become unstable. He was busy collecting evidence of Shi He's crimes.
Five years, a full five years.
The battle between the three deputy general managers Feng Lang, Shi He and Yu Ye has never stopped.
As the saint expected, they did not completely unify the Northwest Army, and there was no more "Yu Family Army".
But the problem is also obvious. They are doing their own thing, and they are clearing the door.
Feng Lang was stationed in Xicheng and just watched Xicheng.
If there was a war in the border town, Feng Lang would just stand aside and watch.
The same is true for Yu Ye and Shi He.
The three deputy general managers are so disunited and have no idea of collaboration or mutual assistance.
The defense line in the northwest is somewhat loose.
Last year, the eldest prince of Beirong personally led troops to attack the border city, which was in danger.
Yu Ye was afraid that the city would be destroyed, so he ordered people to go to Xicheng to ask for help, and at the same time sent an urgent battle report of 800 miles to the court.
The saint intended to divide the Yu family army and did not want another huge armed force to appear in the northwest.
However, he never thought of causing chaos in the northwest and allowing the Beirong to take advantage of the situation.
The most ideal state of a saint is probably that the three deputy general managers can check and balance each other and also cooperate in fighting.
Feng Lang & Yu Ye & Shi He:...You are thinking about PEACH!
How can it be!
Competition is competition, and opponents are opponents!
For the sake of the title of general, the three of them almost had their heads beaten into pieces, and they were just short of being completely torn apart.
How could they still cooperate sincerely?
No, the consequences of deliberately creating conflicts are revealed——
Even if the saint made a decree and ordered Feng Lang to send troops to support the border town, Feng Lang would find various reasons to shirk and delay.
At the critical moment, He Tiantian still couldn't bear to see the ordinary people in the border town becoming victims of the power struggle, so he came with his troops.
Ahem, there are other reasons why He Tiantian would send troops:
First, continue to train troops to further weaken the main force of the Beirong soldiers;
Second, once again enhance the prestige of the new Yu family army, infiltrate, and shake the military morale of several camps such as Border City and Xicheng.
He Tiantian led the new Yu family army to save the border town. As expected, the people of the border town were extremely grateful for this "magic soldier descending from the sky".
The following year, the new Yu family army recruited troops, and there were many strong men from border towns.
In addition, many people began to regret the remnants of the Yu family army that Yu Ye annexed.
"Oh, if I had known this was the case, I should have gone back when Mr. Yu Erlang came back!"
"Yes, yes, how kind and righteous is the Yu family? They never drink the blood of their soldiers. When the court's food and salary are insufficient, they will use their own money to subsidize the soldiers."
"The current Mr. Yu is even more generous than the original General Yu. I have a father who retired due to serious injuries five years ago. I thought he would have to live in poverty. Unexpectedly, Mr. General Yu showed compassion for the disabled veterans and gave him
Recruited to work in the workshop."
"Yes! Yes! I have a fellow countryman who is in the same situation. He broke an arm, so General Yu arranged for him to work as a guard in the workshop. He received a salary of 100 yuan a month and included food and accommodation. He was alone
The disabled people who have been eliminated can easily support their whole family, unlike me——"
Everyone was talking a lot and their hearts were in confusion.
Someone suddenly said, "Actually, it's not too late to regret it now."
"We are all veterans of the Yu family army. We have followed General Yu and Lord Yu Erlang for several years. In the battle at the border town, we all fought bravely to kill the enemy..."
"That's right! It is not our intention to be recruited by Deputy General Manager Yu. Deputy General Manager Yu is from the Yu family and is one of General Yu's most useful lieutenants!"
"Yes, that's the truth. We have always regarded ourselves as the 'Yu Family Army'. Deputy General Manager Yu's ingratitude is his business and has nothing to do with us."
The "Yu Family Army" under Yu Ye's command is the most volatile among the three deputy general managers.
Yu Ye was aware of it, but he didn't take these soldiers at the lowest level seriously.
Humph, they are just a group of big-headed soldiers who know nothing. They can only discuss a few things behind their backs and dare not really "rebel".
Yu Ye deliberately selected a few soldiers who were jumping up and down the most, including two gang leaders. He brought them directly in front of everyone and beat them hard with military sticks.
He almost killed several people on the spot, which really shocked the soldiers!
Standing on the high platform, Yu Ye looked down at the obviously frightened soldiers, feeling very satisfied.
Are you scared?
That's good, be more at ease in the future!
Otherwise, there will be more stringent military laws waiting for you.
Compassion does not raise soldiers. Even though Yu Ye came from the lowest level of the tribe, his heart became extremely hard when he reached the position of general.
As long as he can control the morale of the army and kill a few more assassins, Yu Ye will not hesitate at all.
After shocking all the soldiers, Yu Ye did not continue to pay attention, but turned around to search for evidence of Shi He's crime.
It has to be said that although Yu Ye and Feng Lang are also in a competitive relationship, they have worked together in Northwest China for many years.
There is actually some tacit understanding between them.
The first person they wanted to bring down was Shi He.
It's not Shi He who attracts hatred, nor is it Yu Ye or Feng Lang who miss their old relationship.
In fact, Shi He has too many pigtails, and he can catch a lot of them. He can also catch big mistakes that are enough to be punished.
Unlike Feng Lang and Yu Ye, one of them is cautious by nature, and the other is deeply influenced by the Yu family army.
Both of them may have the common problem of military generals - eating empty pay and drinking the blood of soldiers.
However, both of them are relatively restrained and will not go too far.
And the most important point is that taking advantage of free money is not a serious crime, but an unspoken rule.
Even a saint knows these situations.
As long as a certain limit is not exceeded and disasters such as camps and mutinies do not occur due to excessive persecution, saints and even important officials in the court will turn a blind eye.
Feng Lang and Yu Ye knew how to measure things just right.
As for Shi He, he was used to being arrogant in the southwest.
Eating empty pay and drinking the blood of soldiers are all basic principles. He also killed good people and took credit for their merits, and even secretly did business with Beirong.
Of course, Shi He would not do the real act of surrendering to the enemy and betraying the country.
But he wanted to get Beirong's grassland horses, or trade slaves, cattle and sheep with some tribes.
...These are all invisible.
Once there is clear evidence, Feng Lang or Yu Ye can impeach him for "collaborating with the enemy."
In the past five years, Feng and Yu have been working hard to find evidence.
Don't tell me, they actually found it.
What Feng Lang got was evidence that Shi He killed Liang and took credit for the sake of promoting the enemy's self-respect.
And Yu Ye obtained the account books of Shi He's "business" with many tribes in the northwest.
The two of them had no agreement, but they wrote secret instructions to the saint one after another and submitted the evidence.
The saint was furious, killed good people and took credit for his actions, but he could still bear it.
Anyway, they are just like useless border residents. If they die, they will die.
But the saint cannot recognize Shi He's collusion with Northwest.
This is collaboration with the enemy!
Even if he is not traitorous, he is not loyal enough to Daliang and the emperor.
Moreover, if you say you are not traitorous, who can prove it?
You both did business with the enemy and made a fortune together. Even if you accidentally leak some military secrets, it will be a huge loss to Daliang!
The saint likes to make up his mind. When he saw the memorials and evidence sent by Feng and Yu, he couldn't help but think about it——
In the past five years, wars have occurred frequently in the northwest, and each time the city was almost destroyed.
When the Yu family was guarding the northwest, such emergencies rarely happened.
The saint did not think about the bravery of the Yu family's army, nor did he think about the merits of the Yu family in defending the city.
Not to mention his checks and balances, it directly divided the Northwest Army, making it impossible to achieve unity and coordination.
He just sighed that Feng, Yu and Shi were too incompetent.
After receiving the evidence of Shi He's "collusion" with Northwest, the saint couldn't help but wonder: Could it be this inner ghost who was at work?
So, is the northwest defense line so fragile?
The saint was so angry that he slapped the imperial case hard and passed down the decree——
Shi He killed Liang Liang and took credit, embezzled military pay, collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and delayed the war effort... The evidence was conclusive and he was punished for several crimes. He was dismissed from the post of deputy commander-in-chief of the Northwest Road March and escorted back to Beijing for trial.
As for the 50,000 soldiers and horses under Shi He’s command——
The saint thought for a while and came up with another magical operation.
He actually promoted Yu Er with a stroke of his pen and asked him to replace Shi He.
The sage's meaning is very clear. The situation with three pillars is the most stable.
As for the Yu family, although they created a Yu family army, it made the saint uneasy.
But it is undeniable that the Yu family is really good at fighting.
After all, the Yu family "understands the rules" and has an overall view.
Even if they do not have the right to command the northwest, even if Feng Lang and Yu Ye are in trouble, if there is a crisis in the city where they are stationed, Yu Er will send troops to help.
The Saint liked to create checks and balances, so he divided the huge Northwest Army into several parts.
But he did not want the northwest defense line to be overwhelmed.
Feng and Yu are really not the ones coordinating the overall situation, so let Yu Er take on this responsibility.
The more the saint thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was feasible, and he was even secretly proud——
"I won't give you the title of Grand Steward of the Marching Army, nor will I give you enough rights, but I will let you do the work of the Grand Steward!"
Even issues such as food, grass, ordnance must be solved by Yu Er himself.
He "prostituted" Yu Er for free, treating him as a scapegoat and hard worker. When the saint thought of this, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
Yu Er & He Tiantian:...Well, as long as you are happy!
A month later, the angel delivering the message arrived in the northwest.
Shi He was relieved of his official position on the spot and was tied up by the guards on the spot.
Yu Er was promoted on the spot and rejoined one of the leaders of the Northwest Army.
"Congratulations to Mr. Yu Erlang!"
The person who delivered the order was a chamberlain, he was in his thirties, fair and fat, with no beard, and looked kind-hearted.
Yu Er did not dare to underestimate him. This man was the second most useful servant around the saint. The saint sent him to deliver the decree, which was obviously a great deal of honor.
"Thank you, angel. The saint's grace is so great that I am so grateful that I can't even repay it even if I break my body to pieces!"
Yu Er pretended to be grateful and frightened, and when he was chatting with the waiter, he secretly gave him a piece of fine mutton-fat white jade.
I squeezed the jade pendant, and it felt warm and delicate. I knew the texture was very good even without looking at it.
The chamberlain curled his lips in satisfaction and pretended to say some polite words to Yu Er, such as "the saint respects the general" and "the saint treats the Yu family kindly".
The chamberlain did not stay long, he had to escort Shi He and his party back to Beijing.
Yu Er tried to persuade him to stay again and again, and made a great gesture.
Finally, he personally escorted the servants and his entourage out of the three or four miles, and then returned to Beicheng "step by step".
"Second brother, great! Yu Jiajun, we got back one third!"
After seeing off the servants and sending away the people around him, Yu Si was filled with excitement and said happily to Yu Er.
Yu Er was also happy, but he was not so happy.
He shook his head slightly and corrected Yu Si, "More than one third!"
When saying this, Yu Er turned his attention to Xicheng next door.
There are still remnants of the Yu family army there.
Jiulang's "propaganda offensive" has penetrated into the Feng family's military camp.
Now, the "Shi Jiajun" has transformed into the "Yu Jiajun", which seems to be the best assist.
You know, before today, the Feng Jiajun was just like the Shi Jiajun, ordinary soldiers had a very difficult life.
Shi Jiajun was even a little worse than Feng Jiajun.
But now, Shi He was convicted, and the Shi family army returned to the Yu family.
This is not just a change in name, but more importantly, a "tremendous" change in welfare benefits.
Once the soldiers of Feng Jiajun know that Shi Jiajun, who was once more miserable than themselves, is now able to eat well, wear cotton-padded clothes, and receive full military pay and rewards just like Yu Jiajun -
Hehe, do you think they are unbalanced or unbalanced?!
Yu Er could fully imagine what kind of "liveliness" would happen in the Feng family barracks, which was already filled with popular sentiments, after he implemented the new benefits of the Yu family army in Beicheng.
Also, winter is coming again.
The vegetation on the grasslands is withering, and the nomadic Beirong tribe is facing a survival crisis again.
According to past practice, they will start to plunder the cities in the northwest.
Xicheng, Beicheng and border cities have always been the main targets of the Beirong soldiers' attacks.
Now the garrison in Beicheng has changed its surname to "Yu" again. Beirong, who was frightened by Jiulang's "Shocking Thunder", not only did not dare to offend the attached city, but also did not dare to attack Beicheng easily.
Xicheng and border towns are in danger.
No matter which one Beirong attacks, Yu Er will actively rescue them.
After the "rescue", whether Feng Lang or Yu Ye's soldiers will take the opportunity to mutiny and demand to join the Yu family army is beyond Yu Er's control. Yes or no?!
