Chapter 589: Shen Tang is gone, the coach is slumped
Chapter 589: Shen Tang left, the coach was frustrated
"oops!"
The figures of Shen Tang and others gradually disappeared, and Wang Huaixian came slowly.
"General Shen left in such a hurry. I even promised to give him a good send-off, but I missed the time."
Wang Huaixun said with a chuckle.
Bian Xi and others sneered in their hearts, but they were too lazy to argue with Wang Huaichen. After all, Wang Huaicheng was the head coach here. If they had a head-on conflict, it would be detrimental to them and others!
"Commander, the general still has military affairs, so he will return to the camp first!"
Xin Qiji was the first to say.
Bian Xi also bowed his hand and wanted to leave directly.
However, at this moment, Sun Ze, who was standing behind Wang Huaizhen, suddenly stepped out and shouted, "You are so impudent! Now that the commander-in-chief is here, how should the military affairs be done? Do you need to talk?"
The commander-in-chief is your Majesty’s personally appointed General Huaihua. If you disrespect the general and the commander-in-chief, you should be severely punished. Otherwise, how will you demonstrate the military discipline of our army!"
The expressions of Bian Xi and others changed slightly. They did not expect that Wang Huaiqian couldn't wait any longer and was about to deal with them.
"Commander, we still have powerful enemies. If the morale of the army is disturbed, even the commander-in-chief will find it difficult to bear the blame in the future."
Bian Xi said slowly.
Wang Huai's face turned cold. How dare you threaten him now?
If they were allowed to do this without paying attention, what dignity would he have as a commander-in-chief?
"Humph, what Sun Ze said is true. If you disrespect the commander, you are contemptuous of the imperial court! I am the commander of the Song Army here. In this case, I will deprive you of your general position. However, I will give you the opportunity to make meritorious deeds. If you can do it, If you work hard, I will pardon your crimes."
"Sun Ze, Zhou Yu, from now on, the troops and horses under Bian Xi and Xin Qiji are temporarily under your command!"
"Thank you, Marshal!"
Sun Ze and his wife were naturally overjoyed.
However, looking at Wang Huaichen who was enjoying his performance, Xin Qiji and Bian Xi smiled disdainfully. They had expected that Wang Huaichen would do something, but they didn't expect that the method would be so low-level to allow such a person to come to Chengdu Mansion. Lu, I don’t know what the court thinks.
Do you really think that those Tubo people are weak and cannot be bullied?
"The general wants to deprive me of my troops and horses, so I naturally dare not say anything. However, I am also a powerful general personally conferred by the Holy Emperor, and I was ordered by the emperor to serve as the Xin Family Army.
Therefore, if the commander wants other soldiers and horses, the general will naturally not dare to disobey the order.
However, if the commander-in-chief of the Xin family army, who has 20,000 soldiers under the command of the general, wants to take it, he must first report to the court and remove the powerful general, the general."
The military system of the Song Army was a bit strange. The commander naturally commanded all the troops.
However, how much power they can have is also very different.
The reason is that the army under his command is basically composed of independent frontier armies, and these frontier armies obey the orders of their own generals.
If the coach can completely control these generals, there is no problem, but if these generals do not respect orders, it is not impossible to sideline the coach.
After all, these coaches are all close relatives of the imperial court. They can be suppressed by their status as coaches, but it is impossible to deprive them of their status.
Not to mention Wang Huai's talent, when he was in Sizhou, even with Zhang Jun in charge, he never thought of snatching the soldiers and horses from the hands of the general.
Moreover, the relationship between the general and the commander-in-chief was originally intended by the emperor to control each other. If the commander-in-chief wanted to seize the troops of these generals, the emperor above him would definitely be uneasy if others did not tell him.
"The other troops and horses will be handed over to the commander-in-chief. From now on, the commander-in-chief will only lead his own Zaoyang army."
Bian Xi also sneered and turned away directly.
Although Wang Huaizhen is the commander-in-chief, almost most of the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses here are from the Zaoyang Army and the Xin Family Army. Apart from these two armies, the remaining troops are even brought by Wang Huaizhen.
There are only thirty to forty thousand people.
Seeing Xin Qiji and Bian Xi leaving without giving him any face, Wang Huaichen would have even wanted to kill them directly if they didn't still have some sense.
However, although the two of them were rude, what they said was correct. Therefore, his plan immediately went bankrupt.
After all, the army held by these two men accounts for half of the Song army here. Once a conflict occurs, even he, the coach, cannot control the situation.
"Commander, calm down!"
Sun Ze, who was on the side, looked at Wang Huaixuan, who looked ugly, and said quickly, "Let the two of them be arrogant for a while. When the battle comes, the commander will naturally have many ways to deal with them.
Now they can go against the commander-in-chief's wishes, but if they don't respect the commander-in-chief's orders, they will not be at the mercy of the commander-in-chief. Even if it comes to the court, the commander-in-chief will take the lead."
Wang Huaixun nodded fiercely!
Seeing this, the other generals had different thoughts in their hearts, but they all bowed and then dispersed.
After everyone left, Wang Huaichen was about to return to the tent when he saw the quartermaster rushing over in a hurry.
"Commander, there is no food and grass in the military camp. The remaining food and grass, plus some of the food and grass we carry with us, can last for three or four days at most."
The quartermaster said carefully.
"What!"
Wang Huaixun was shocked. Even a fool knew the importance of food and grass for a large army. If there was no food and grass, how could he compete with the Tubo people?
"How come there is only so little food and grass?
Is Shen Tang secretly greedy for ink or is there someone else standing in the way?"
Wang Huai said angrily.
However, the quartermaster smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Commander, since Shen Tang led his troops to Chengdu Mansion Road, the imperial court has only allocated a total of 50,000 stones of grain and grass, and all of this grain and grass has been left by Shen Tang in Chengdu Mansion.
Shao Hongyuan's place."
"impossible!"
Wang Huaichen shouted angrily, "Before we came, there were tens of thousands of soldiers and horses here. What did they eat?"
You can’t stay hungry all the time!”
The quartermaster sighed helplessly, "Commander, the grain and fodder allocated by the imperial court have names, and there is indeed nothing wrong with it.
But before that, all the food and grass they used were prepared by Lianli City themselves..."
Wang Huaixuan stared, not knowing what to say for a moment!
At this moment, he finally remembered that among Shen Tang's 'crimes', there was also Liancheng.
"Where's the food and grass?"
Wang Huaixun gritted his teeth and asked.
The quartermaster smiled bitterly and did not reply. Is this something obvious?
With Shen Tang here, Lian Licheng's food and grass will naturally be given to them to support them. But now that Shen Tang is gone, how can Lian Licheng's food and grass be left behind and given to them for free?
Looking at the quartermaster's expression, Wang Huaixian felt dizzy in his mind. What is going on?
I finally became the commander-in-chief, but my generals refused to listen to their advice. Now the tens of thousands of troops don’t even have food or grass?
