Li Xingchen's loud voice echoed throughout the Sifang Building, and the soldiers who were still trying to fight in the lobby subconsciously stopped their movements. Even if they didn't know who this young man was, they at least stood by his side.
They knew exactly who Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie were. They were both high-ranking or special masters in the army, and which one of them was not killed in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood?
The soldiers who were still sober grabbed their drunken companions to prevent them from doing anything outrageous. When the army celebrated victory after the war, it was not uncommon for soldiers to get into fights. Most generals turned a blind eye to this.
Close one eye and close one eye. After all, brothers have to find a place to vent after winning. And for these soldiers who have been fighting for the rest of their lives on the battlefield, sometimes a fight is really a good way to vent.
But the premise of all this is that the generals are not present. The Southern Dynasty established the country with a policy of elite troops as a guarantee to compete with the North. Especially after Hou Jing's Rebellion, both the court and the army had stricter rules on military discipline. Now
With Pei Zilie and Xiao Shilian present, these soldiers would not dare to continue causing trouble even if they were given a few more courages.
They clearly weighed which was more important, a quick moment or a head on their shoulders.
"You are all our soldiers who fought bloody battles and made great achievements. You all came out of Luliang together. It stands to reason that you should sit down and have a drink and talk. It is really unreasonable to start a fight after a disagreement," Li Xingchen said loudly,
"And it is even more ridiculous to quarrel over General Wu Yi and the Governor!"
"What do you mean by what you are saying?!" A foreign soldier who joined the army couldn't help but cursed, "Although the Governor is old, he has made great achievements in battle after all. Don't forget who led the battle at Luliang
We fought it out. It's wrong for these guys to insult the Governor. It doesn't matter that you are dissatisfied with the Governor, but to say it in public is rude. Since it is rude, why can't they be beaten? Not only must they be beaten, but military law must be enforced.
Serve!”
After a pause, he raised his head and looked at Li Xingchen: "You interrupt, don't you think what someone said makes no sense?!"
Xiao Shilian leaned into Li Xingchen's ear and whispered: "This person is the governor of Southern Yuzhou and a general under Zhongwu General Fan Meng. You must also know about Fan Meng."
Li Xingchen's understanding of General Nanchen only stayed at the level of Xiao Mohe and Wu Mingche, but fortunately, he had asked Xiao Shilian for advice on this aspect many times in the past few days, and Xiao Shilian finally found a place where he was superior to Li Xingchen.
Of course, I don’t hesitate to teach you.
This Fan Meng is the governor of Yuzhou in Nanchen, General Zhongwu, and his status in the army is second only to Xiao Maha. His brother Fan Yi is the governor of Jingzhou in Nanchen, the general who protects the army, and the governor-general Mian. It can be said that the army in the Han area is
He is the only general in charge of Nanchen in Jinghu. The two brothers were both Long Yuanrong soldiers when the great ancestor Chen Baxian started his army. They had great military exploits and were considered to be quite prestigious generals in the army.
However, Fan Yi and Fan Meng are both upright people and have never liked to participate in power struggles. Logically speaking, they would not be the ones causing trouble behind the scenes.
Pei Zilie, who was standing on the other side of Li Xingchen, sighed softly and said with some helplessness: "I also know this person. He is called Yuan Ying. It is true that he worked under General Fan, but he was recommended to General Fan by the governor of Yangzhou.
"Although General Fan doesn't like him very much, he has to use him because of the favor of the Yangzhou governor."
The expressions of Li Xingchen and Xiao Shilian both changed slightly.
If it is said that the governor of Yangzhou was behind this incident, the implications would be huge.
Of course they both know who the governor of Yangzhou is. Chen Shuling, the governor of Yangzhou, is the second son of Chen Xu, the emperor of the Southern Chen Dynasty. He is known as the first general in the royal family. He became the governor at the age of sixteen and was granted the title of Jin Dynasty last year.
The governor of Yangzhou. Yangzhou was Nanchen's most important town in Huainan and also the gateway to the capital. Chen Shuling was allowed to take charge of Yangzhou, which shows Chen Xu's trust in him.
More importantly, Chen Shuling was the second son and had no way to inherit the throne. However, as the prince, Chen Shubao had never made any impressive and impressive achievements. Therefore, Chen Shuling's coveting of the prince's position was well known, but Chen Xu obviously
I also wanted to investigate these two children, so I always turned a blind eye to this.
Moreover, Chen Shuling's abilities are real. For Chen Xu, as long as Chen Shuling does not threaten him, he will naturally not harm his children.
But having said that, Chen Xu still had some control over Chen Shuling. For example, although Chen Shuling was the governor of Yangzhou, the military power of Nanchen's army in Huainan was in the hands of the governor Wu Mingche, and the other Jinghu garrison was not large in number.
Moreover, the military power was also firmly controlled by Fan Yi, and Chen Shuling could only control the army in Yangzhou, which was far from enough to pose a threat to the capital.
Moreover, although Chen Shuling fought bravely, his reputation as a politician in Xiangzhou and other places in his early years was not good, so his supporters were mainly generals and lacked civil servants and advisers. This made Chen Shuling even more anxious to gain control of the army.
After all, in these troubled times, the most important thing is military power.
It's just a pity that Wu Mingche, who previously controlled Nanchen's army, and Nanliang was a veteran of the Five Dynasties, naturally could not get himself involved in this vortex. And Xiao Mohe, who was about to succeed Wu Mingche, had always been biased towards Chen Shubao. After all, no matter what
It is said that Chen Shubao was the prince personally selected by Chen Xu, which is where the orthodoxy lies. Moreover, Chen Shubao has made steady progress in the court over the years. Although he has no great achievements, he has made no mistakes, and Chen Xu has not expressed any affection for the prince.
dissatisfied.
From this point of view, it is reasonable for Chen Shuling to want to disrupt the transition of power in the army from Wu Mingche to Xiao Mohe. After all, it is better for the army to remain neutral than to stand against itself, and it is obvious that Chen Shuling also knows Xiao Mohe's
Ability, if Xiao Mohe cannot be prevented from taking the position of commander-in-chief of the army, then Xiao Mohe will definitely not give him more opportunities in the future.
Li Xingchen took a breath, things were getting more and more interesting.
Their eyes turned to Li Xingchen, obviously wanting to see how he would continue to speak.
Li Xingchen raised his eyebrows. In fact, Li Xingchen was very familiar with this guy's way of speaking. Many public figures in later generations used such a rhythm. If it was obviously full of loopholes, just add a little Spring and Autumn style of writing, and it would be able to speak with great justice.
It's just that this guy's level is still a little low, and he has only practiced to the point of distorting the facts. Li Xingchen looked at Yuan Ying's joining the army in his spare time, and said calmly: "Yuan Canjun's words are surprising, brother
What we just discussed was not about the rights and wrongs of the Governor or General Wu Yi, but about the rights and wrongs of the Battle of Luliang. As we all know, no one is a saint, and no one can make mistakes. The Governor had both gains and losses in the Battle of Luliang. Brothers
