Three hundred and ninetieth chapters rumors spread

Some dissatisfaction is not actually accumulated over time, but suddenly arises. The dissatisfaction is just a complaint at first, similar to complaining. I may not be very disgusted in my heart, but I still want to talk about it and express my opinion.

If it is changed after more than a thousand years, it is actually normal. There will inevitably be some complaints behind the scenes of classmates, colleagues, and leaders. After the complaints, you should live as well as how you live. Life will not change any changes due to these complaints behind the scenes.

The same is true in the Anxi camp. The one who was really dissatisfied with Gu Qing being scolded by the strict order was the generals of the Anxi army. Some of the middle and low-level soldiers below just vented their verbal dissatisfaction. After saying that, they should practice and continue to practice what they should practice, and continue to eat and drink what they should eat and drink.

But the higher-level generals were really dissatisfied.

In their opinion, this is a signal given by the court to the Anxi Army. This signal is very bad. It may cause personnel changes to the Anxi Army in the short term in the future.

Personnel changes even include Gu Qing's possible transfer from Anxi, and the court will replace him with a new commander to control the Anxi army.

The biggest worry of the generals is that Gu Qing may be transferred, which is definitely not good news for them.

In the past or two years in Anxi, Gu Qing was in a fair manner, shared the joys and sorrows with his soldiers, and his methods of making money were even more incredible. What is rare is that Gu Qing was generous and always rewarded the soldiers very generously. All the troops in the Tang Dynasty several times, which army is like the Anxi Army, and has a real and consistent reward for good results in daily training? It is unheard of.

What made the generals sincerely convinced was that Gu Qing was always open and transparent when discussing his merits. For example, after the last time, he wiped out more than 20,000 enemy troops in Tubo, Gu Qing summoned all the generals into the general's tent and told them that the first merit in this battle was Shen Tian, ​​and why Shen Tian? Because Shen Tian endured the most difficult, when he was almost completely trapped in a passive response to the battle, he could still send troops to come in time to block the retreat of the Tubo army.

Then Gu Qing asked everyone whether they were convinced or not in front of all the generals.

With Gu Qing's open-minded way of doing things, no one is dissatisfied with the generals. With such a coach, if there is any war in the future, he will never worry that the coach will take advantage of his merits. He will give him enough benefits and also give him enough credit. He is approachable when there is no war and treats him with brothers. Such a coach is perfect.

If the court transfers Gu Qing away, who knows what kind of virtue is the commander who will succeed him? No matter who will replace Gu Qing, all the generals will feel that they are far inferior to Gu Qing.

This is Gu Qing's charm. In a silent manner, he has conquered the morale of the army.

At night, the quiet and silent Anxi Camp had been extinguished, but the soldiers were still sleepless, and they all looked at the dark tent roof with their eyes open and whispered rustling.

"Captain Huo, what do you think if Marquis Gu is transferred from Anxi?" A young voice said softly.

In the darkness, a fire-long voice came: "What else can you do if you eat soldiers and food, kill the enemy? We can't decide the above things."

The young soldier sighed, "Mr. Gu is very good, why should His Majesty scold him?"

There was an instant echoing voice next to him: "That's right, how generous the marquis is. He doesn't want to meet us. As long as he practices and is willing to fight hard, he can still get his usual rewards and eats meat to fill his fill. We have been soldiers over the years, and have never seen such a generous commander?"

"Bah! You're just thinking about money and meat. What I admire most about the Marquis is that he is willing to practice with us rough military men, climbing sand, climbing high walls, and practicing horizontal bars. Nothing less than us. I did it steadily. Although it was not as fast as us, at least he did it. The commander of the first army and tens of thousands of soldiers under his command, who would share the joys and sorrows with us like the Marquis? I have seen many commanders over the years, but only one of them was the Marquis."

"I am convinced by the Marquis because he is righteous enough, knows the suffering of our army men, and also knows how to protect us. Do you know who brought these war horses and weapons and food in our camp? The Marquis took office as Deputy Commander of Anxi two years ago. Do you know how much he brought from Chang'an? Ten thousand war horses, twenty thousand stones of food, and exponential weapons and arrows. Tsk, he is worthy of being the powerful in Chang'an, and he has brought such a wealthy army."

"That's right, with the war horse weapons and food brought by the Marquis, the last time we ambushed the 20,000 thieves in Tubo, we were so successful. They were all riding horses. A banner was revealed, and our Tang cavalry charges from all directions. In less than an hour, the Tubo army was destroyed. If the Anxi army before the Marquis took office, there would be less than 10,000 cavalry. If we want to ambush the Tubo army so perfectly, dream."

In the camp, the soldiers were talking about Gu Qing's various advantages, and the atmosphere became more and more lively.

After chatting for a long time, the camp suddenly became quiet and everyone was silent.

I don’t know how long it took, and when everyone was getting sleepy, a soldier suddenly sighed: “The robes in the camp all said that the marquis might be transferred from Anxi by His Majesty. If the marquis leaves, I don’t know which head coach will be replaced by him. Will the marquis treat us as well as the marquis…”

Another soldier said in a slightly fierce tone: "It's impossible to be better than the Marquis. Any coach in the world can treat us like the Marquis? The Marquis is truly a lover of soldiers. I only want to work hard for the Marquis in this life. If someone else is replaced, hum."

"It was obviously Ge Shuhan's fault, why should we count it on our Marquis? The emperor in Chang'an is really..."

Before he finished speaking, Huo Chang, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said irritably: "Shut up! Do you want to die? The marquis are surrounded by military supervisors and censors, and they are all sent by the emperor to stare at the marquis. If you want to die, don't harm the marquis without any restraint!"

The soldiers in the camp were shocked and shut up and dared not speak anymore. The night gradually darkened and everyone fell asleep.

…………

The same discussion happened in all the tents of the Anxi Army.

As the commander of the Anxi Army, Gu Qing was also the commander of the great morale. His stay and departure were directly related to the interests of all soldiers. Li Longji's reprimand and dismissal caused great uneasiness in the Anxi Army. Overnight, various rumors and rumors quietly emerged in various camps.

Anxi Festival Mansion.

Pei Zhounan sat in the room like water, and a general in armor stood in front of him.

The general was the general of the 1,000 cavalry team he brought from Chang'an, named Chen Shufeng. When he was in Chang'an, he was just a brigade commander. Before leaving the capital, he was promoted to a captain. Pei Zhounan led the 1,000 cavalry team he was in charge of.

Chen Shufeng was not tall and had an ordinary appearance. He was not prominent in Chang'an, and came to Anxi just an appointment of a superior general.

There are only Pei Zhounan and Chen Shufeng in the room.

Pei Zhounan's face was gloomy, and there was an uneasy light in his eyes. Chen Shufeng's face was expressionless, and his right hand was pressed on the hilt of the sword on his waist.

"Have you found out clearly? There is no wrong and wrongful case?" Pei Zhounan asked in a deep voice.

Chen Shufeng whispered: "I found out that since the Marquis Gu received the order, the Anxi camp army was in a state of turmoil and uneasy. The soldiers talked a lot about slandering the emperor. What they found in the last general may be rare. In fact, there will only be more people talking about the emperor and the court."

Pei Zhounan was silent for a moment and said slowly: "Have you ever found out if someone instructed the soldiers to deliberately discuss the Lord?"

"The last general has not found the person instructed him. Judging from the current content of the soldiers' discussions, it should be their own discussions, and there seems to be no one behind the instructions."

Pei Zhounan felt a little relieved, and his expression was still ugly: "This wind cannot be long. If it is left to discuss, it is difficult for the security guards to not mutiny. If something happens, you and I will be blamed."

Rulers have always been very sensitive to the army, and the army group often has psychological and behaviors that ordinary people cannot understand. A small rumor often causes a tsunami-like mutiny, so Pei Zhounan and Chen Shufeng attach so much importance to the current discussions of the soldiers of the Anxi Army.

Chen Shufeng whispered: "Censor Pei, how should this matter be handled?"

Pei Zhounan frowned and said, "Marty Gu has always been unreasonable to protect his generals. If he is invited to suppress the soldiers and discuss, he may not be willing to do it. If we bypass Marty Gu, we will directly deal with the soldiers of the Anxi Army, Marty Gu will not agree. But we cannot allow the Anxi Army to continue to discuss it so arrogantly. This matter is difficult..."

Chen Shufeng said in a deep voice: "Censor Pei, we are the emperor commanders who monitor the Anxi army under the order. The Anxi army is unstable and we should take action to suppress it. Mr. Gu has no reason to stop us. Aren't he afraid of the same crime?"

Pei Zhounan smiled bitterly and said, "If Mr. Gu is a reasoned person, why would I be so embarrassed? After being cheated by him once last time, I knew him a little. Gu Qing never sticks to rules and the law. On the surface, he seems to be a person who obeys etiquette and knows the law. He is gentle and humble, but once he touches his interests, he will immediately turn against others and fight with his life..."

"We suppress the Anxi Army and discuss it, what does it have to do with Mr. Gu's interests?"

"He is the commander of the Anxi Army. In his eyes, the Anxi Army is his interest. He can beat and scold the soldiers, but others will never allow them to touch a finger, otherwise it will be his life and death enemy. General Chen, you have been in Anxi for so long. Haven't you understood Gu Qing's character yet?"

Pei Zhounan rubbed his face and smiled bitterly, "This matter must be resolved immediately, but it cannot anger Mr. Gu. It's even more difficult. Forget it, I'll discuss with Mr. Gu. If we can convince him, we will start to cure a few black sheep and calm the discussion of the Anxi Army."

…………

Gu Qing is busy studying the problem of the impact mechanism of the flintlock rifle and the purification of gunpowder, and has not issued a handsome account for several days.

Seeing his devilish look, Han Jie felt a little anxious. He finally forced Gu Qing out of the camp and into Kucha City without saying anything.

"Don't pull me, don't force me, let me continue to work, work makes me happy..." Gu Qing said in a daze.

"Mr. Marquis, you haven't seen the female shopkeeper of the inn for many days. The female shopkeeper has someone to tell you, she misses you..." Han Jie made up a lie without changing his expression.
