In the past two days, Zhao Hongrun has been thinking about how to have an "equal" dialogue with Sima An, the proud and stubborn general.
Don't think this sentence is funny. You must know that Sima An is naturally the kind of person who "will make others feel scared once his face becomes dark." In layman's terms, he is full of aura and can scare a large number of people with just his eyes.
people.
Confronting such a person face to face is not something ordinary people can do unless they have a big and tough heart.
After much thought, Zhao Hongrun came up with this trick of "seizing the enemy first", using his anger to dampen Sima An's momentum first.
Therefore, Zhao Hongrun said "stand up and greet him respectfully" when he entered the tent.
However, the effect... didn't seem to be very good. Sima An still sat in the commanding position, indifferent.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun gritted his teeth and scolded again: "Sima An, I am the commander of the advance army, and you are my deputy general. These are the words of my father on the day of the swearing-in. Is it possible that you have any dissatisfaction with your father?
?”
This is the so-called crime of trying to inflict punishment, and it is just nonsense anyway.
Even in order to force Sima An to stand up, Zhao Hongrun saw out of the corner of his eye that Qiu Yu, the supplementary official of the imperial history, had taken out a pen and booklet, and deliberately said: "Master Qiu, you also saw it with your own eyes, so you must record it truthfully."
This king will use this as evidence when he returns to Daliang in the future."
In fact, Qiu Yu was just recording the situation when Zhao Hongrun met Sima An. He was not recording Sima An's "deception of the emperor". Therefore, after hearing this, Qiu Yu gave a helpless smile because he knew that he
He was slightly taken advantage of by Zhao Hongrun.
"Censor..."
Sima An glanced at Qiu Yu, the imperial censor's supplementary officer. Of course he understood the official position of the military supervisor in the court, and he also knew exactly what the imperial censor was eating.
In the words of officials, the censor was specifically trying to create trouble for them, but they couldn't do anything about this kind of "talking officials".
After hesitating for a moment, Sima An reluctantly stood up.
Don't think that they, the generals who served as the guards around Emperor Wei at the beginning, can not be afraid of anything. In fact, there are things they can't do about, such as public opinion.
Not long ago, Xu Yin, the general of Fenxing fortress, was plotted and falsely accused of being the mastermind behind the attack on Chu's envoys. This caused an uproar among the people of Wei, forcing the emperor of Wei and the court to use "
Regarding the change of defense between the Junshui Army and the Fenxing Army, General Xu Yin and the Fenxing Army were recalled to Daliang in compliance with public opinion, thereby dispelling the people's suspicion of Xu Yin.
A lesson learned from the past and a teacher behind the wheel. If Zhao Hongrun had done this and prevented Sima An from spreading the news that he was "dissatisfied with the emperor", no matter whether the emperor of Wei and the court believed it or not, at least the public opinion would be enough to put Sima An to sleep.
Uneasy.
After all, King Su Zhao Hongrun is now considered a member of the Zhao family with a high reputation in the Wei State. In addition, he successfully repelled the invading Chu army last year and led his army to counterattack the Chu State.
While feeling secretly happy, he also regarded the prince as a hero of the country.
Therefore, if Zhao Hongrun really spreads unfavorable news to Sima An, the latter would not be too happy.
Perhaps not wanting to be like Xu Yin, Sima An stood up, clasped his fists towards Zhao Hongrun and bowed slightly, looking perfunctory and taking the matter seriously.
However, Sima An didn't know that even if he just dealt with it casually, Zhao Hongrun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"A good start..."
Secretly motivating himself, Zhao Hongrun snorted and saw the astonished eyes of Sima An and the other two generals in the tent, Bai Fangming and Bai Fangming, who walked to the commander's seat and sat down without anyone else.
Sima An: "..."
Wen continued: "..."
Bai Fangming: "..."
Qiu Yu: "..."
At this time, there was silence in the tent.
It must be said that Zhao Hongrun's move exceeded everyone's expectations.
But to be more serious, can Zhao Hongrun sit? Can he sit in the main seat of the commander's tent in the Dangshan military camp?
certainly!
After all, he is the commander of the first march, and both the Shangshui Army and the Dangshan Army are under his control. Therefore, there is no problem for him to take this position.
Therefore, after seeing this, General Wen Xu of the Dangshan Army opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he still closed his mouth.
Sima An, on the other hand, said nothing and just stared straight at Zhao Hongrun.
"His Royal Highness, Prince Su, is going to break up with General Sima An?"
Qiu Yu, the supplementary official of the imperial censor, clenched the pen in his hand and was ready to record everything that happened later.
After all, Zhao Hongrun "seized" Sima An's position, which meant that he was ready to conflict with Sima An.
As expected, after sitting on the throne, Zhao Hongrun was brewing some emotions and asked in a deep tone: "Sima An, do you know your guilt?"
"..." Sima An frowned and glanced at Zhao Hongrun, and said lightly: "I don't know His Highness Prince Su..."
"On the way to the expedition, please call me 'Commander'!" Zhao Hongrun interrupted him in a deep voice.
"..."
Perhaps because he was interrupted, Sima An frowned, and then said expressionlessly: "I don't know why the commander made such accusations."
"I don't know? I ask you, why did you arbitrarily separate the Dangshan army from the main army and massacre the people of Sanchuan on your own initiative?"
"I call myself the King but I want to call you Marshal..."
Sima An frowned a little more, and then said calmly: "In emergency situations, emergency matters must be followed by authority... As one of the generals of the "Sixth Battalion", I have the right to make arrangements on the spot and do it cheaply."
These words made Zhao Hongrun lose his temper at all.
Indeed, the six generals of the "Sixth Garrison Battalion" have great power, especially Sima An, Baili Ba, Xu Yin and others who were once the guards around Emperor Wei, and they have the right to kill first and then report later.
Therefore, if Sima An was killed because he discovered an unexpected situation and left the group, it would be quite troublesome for Zhao Hongrun to punish him.
Zhao Hongrun pondered for a while and then asked: "Then why did you massacre the innocent people in Sanchuan?... You should know that the only enemies of our army this time are the Jie people."
Hearing this, Sima An said calmly: "How can we be an innocent friend by secretly seizing the Three Rivers of Wei Dynasty? I don't think that our army killed innocent people by mistake." After that, he glanced at Zhao Hongrun and said coldly: "Commander, can you please return the favor?"
Do you have any orders? If not, please come back, Commander, I have to prepare for the next war."
"...This guy is so stubborn."
Zhao Hongrun frowned. He felt that now that things had come to a close, he had to resort to a trick.
After thinking about it, he took a long breath and said exactly: "Sima An, since you are unwilling to admit your mistake, then I have nothing to say to you." After that, he took a breath and said seriously.
"At this moment, in the name of the commander-in-chief of the Xianxing Army, I am removing Sima An from the positions of "Vice General of the Xianxing Army" and "General of the Dangshan Army", and will be escorted back to Daliang for questioning in the future!"
Hearing this, Wen Xu and Bai Fangming's expressions changed drastically. Even Sima An showed a rare look of shock and anger, and said with an angry smile: "Remove someone from the military? Just because this general killed some people who took away our territory in the Wei Dynasty."
The Yin Rong, His Highness King Su actually wants to punish this general?"
However, Zhao Hongrun ignored him, looked at the two generals Wen Xu and Bai Fangming, and said coldly: "Two generals, take down Sima An."
"..." Wen Xu and Bai Fangming frowned and looked at each other indifferently.
Seeing this, Sima An snorted coldly, his eyes seeming to say, "What virtue and ability do you have to command me, the general of the Dangshan Army?"
However, Zhao Hongrun was not shocked and angry when he saw this. He just sighed and said: "Sure enough! The general is disobedient and disrespectful, and the generals under him are also disobedient and disrespectful... It seems that there is no need for this kind of army to exist!"
After that, he stood up and said in a deep voice: "Now, in the name of the commander-in-chief of the marching army, I cancel the mission of the "Dangshan Army" in this war. You, please go back to the country." After that, he glanced.
Looking at Sima An, he said coldly: "During the ten days, if the Dangshan Army still stays in Sanchuan, I will personally lead the Shangshui Army to wipe out the Dangshan Army as 'rebels'!"
"Stop!" Sima An was shocked and angry when he heard this. He glared at Zhao Hongrun with murderous eyes and said coldly: "Your Highness, Prince Su, are you serious?"
Zhao Hongrun turned to look at Sima An and said calmly: "That's right!... I believe that there is no need for the existence of armies that disobey orders! Withdraw the troops back to the country, Jiejiao Tribe, and I will take care of it myself. Oh, by the way,
Waiting for the day of my triumphal return, I will personally report to my father, pleading to revoke the designation of the ‘Dangshan Army’. Again, there is no need for an army that does not obey orders!”
"You're so impudent!" After hearing this, Sima An, who had always been calm, became furious and subconsciously grabbed Zhao Hongrun's lapel.
Later, when he saw a faint smile rising from the corner of Zhao Hongrun's mouth, he was shocked: Not good!
Just when he secretly screamed that something was wrong, Zhao Hongrun saw a slight smile on his face, and said with a chuckle: "What are you doing, General Sima An? Do you want to kill me to silence me? Do you have the courage?
?”
"This kid...is he deliberately irritating me?"
Sima An, who knew he had been deceived, turned pale and slowly relaxed his grip on Zhao Hongrun's clothes.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun chuckled and said: "Sure enough, you don't dare to kill me, but..." At this point, his expression suddenly changed, he pulled out a sharp sword from his waist and slashed at Sima An's neck, and shouted: "My king
But I dare to kill you!"
However, Zhao Hongrun's sword failed to hit Sima An in the end. After all, Bai Fangming, the general of the Dangshan Army who saw Zhao Hongrun looking wrong from the side, grabbed Zhao Hongrun's wrist at the last moment and said with a smile: "Prince Su
Your Highness, we had a good conversation, why do we need to go under the knife?"
After that, he smiled and took off the sword from Zhao Hongrun's hand.
"..." Zhao Hongrun glanced at Bai Fangming, showing no signs of surprise. After all, he had no real intention to kill Sima An. Even if Bai Fangming didn't stop him, he would eventually stop.
He just used this to make his position clear: For a general like you who doesn't listen to his generals, even if you were a Zongwei who was once my father's side, I dare to kill you for your crime!
"Hmph! Not only did he disobey the order, but he also wanted to commit murder against me as the commander, which is an extra crime! ... I will discuss this matter with you in detail in the future. For now, you should withdraw your troops and return home, otherwise
, Ten days later, I will regard your Dangshan army as a rebel and rebel, and I will personally lead the Shangshui army to conquer it!"
Without saying a word, Zhao Hongrun rolled his sleeves and walked out of the handsome tent.
