Chapter 231 Internal differentiation (5)

Li Cunxiao and Wang Chengxi finally had an argument. Although Wang Chengxi did not say it clearly, his meaning was very obvious, that was, he did not want to lend troops to Li Xun. Li Cunxiao kept persuading him to send troops and put the overall situation first. The people were innocent and should not become victims of the struggle. The two of them spoke in the end, and at the end of the argument, they were already a little angry.

Several clear-headed officers also stood up to support Li Cunxiao.

Li Xun is the governor of Wuzhou. As the highest military chief of Wuzhou, everyone's evaluation and achievements must be completed through Li Xun. The relationship with him is too terrible. Their merit evaluation of Li Xun's experience to the court may only be the worst. In this way, during the period when Li Xun was the governor of Wuzhou, the people who opposed him wanted to be promoted were simply dreaming, and... Isn't it just for a future to join the army and fight to the battlefield? If this premise is gone, why should I follow you?

Even if we take a step back, Wu Heng and Wang Chengxi really fought Li Xun. Wang Chengxi finally took over. Will the first person he valued was outsiders like Li Cunxiao? Definitely not. The first person Wang Chengxi promoted and used would be his former four thousand old troops. As for outsiders like Li Cunxiao, they obviously had to stand aside, so the reason was very simple. No matter who wins, Li Cunxiao and other non-direct generals will not have any benefits. Why should he wholeheartedly serve as a gun envoy for Wang Chengxi?

The two sides could not argue.

Wang Chengxi looked at Li Cunxiao coldly and said coldly: "Li Cunxiao, you always talk to Li Xun. Have you turned to him?"

"Li Xun is the governor of Wuzhou. We are all his subordinates. How can we say that we have to surrender?"

Li Cunxiao was not afraid of Wang Chengxi at all, so he directly turned back. He looked down on Wang Chengxi from the bottom of his heart.

Li Cunxiao glanced at the generals in the tent and said indifferently: "Everyone, Li Xun is a polite person. He can't move an officer of the fifth rank or above, but an officer of the fifth rank or below..."

As soon as Li Cunxiao said this, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then their faces changed.

The governor who holds the rank of rank and the governor who holds the rank of rank of rank are completely different concepts. The worst level of false rank of rank, in the war period, you can take action first and then report it, without reporting to the court, and directly kill officers under the fifth rank. Wang Chengxi is a fourth-rank sub-general, and Li Cunxiao is a fifth-rank central general, so naturally it is not listed here, but the lower-rank general is within this range. Li Cunxiao's reminder made everyone suddenly understand that there is another possibility.

Li Xun asked Wang Chengxi to send troops. If the latter refused, then you wouldn't send troops, right? One Lang general is 500 soldiers, and I will order eight Lang generals in your camp to go to war with me. If you don't listen, I will kill you. Your Wang Chengxi can't stop me at all.

"General, what Li Cunxiao said is also some truth. After all, Li Xun is our chief general in name, and it is unreasonable to disobey military orders!"

"General, let's go with Li Xun. He is the governor of Wuzhou and has a politeness. Why do we resist the military order?"

Several officers stood up and persuaded him, and there were only two of them, Wang Chengxi's old subordinates.

Wang Chengxi looked ugly, and he was silent for a while. Finally, he nodded: "You guys will disperse first, let me think about it carefully."

After saying that, Wang Chengxi turned a wink at his confidant deputy general Yu Yanhui.

Everyone dispersed, and only Yu Yanhui and Wang Chengxi were left in the tent.

"Yanhui, what do you think?"

Yu Yanhui stood up and said, "General, everyone's wishes are hard to refuse. Li Cunxiao's words just now are not unreasonable."

Wang Chengxi stood up and walked back and forth in the tent. He thought things simply. Li Xun had a scepter in his hand and was not afraid, but the middle and low-level officers under his command had to be afraid.

After a while, Wang Chengxi stopped, looked at Yu Yanhui, and said, "Take half of the 4,000 people from the headquarters, and then draw Wang Shi and Yan Cong's troops out. There are exactly 4,000 people. You will be led by you and follow Li Xun to Suzhou."

Yu Yanhui bowed and said, "The last general will take the order."

Wang Chengxi finally instructed: "You must take military power in your own hands. If Li Xun has any plans, you should act according to the opportunity."

Yu Yanhui nodded and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, General, the military power is in my hands, Li Xun dare not do anything to me."

.............

After Li Xun received Wang Renzi's request for help, he ordered that Wuzhou would enter a state of combat readiness and stayed You Chong to defend the city. Li Xun led more than 5,500 soldiers to Shenchi County, and met with Wang Chengxi's 4,000 soldiers, and then rushed to Suzhou immediately.

Yuanhe originally had 4,000 people, but the inspection battalion was established. Eight hundred people were separated from him and handed over to Zheng Chun and Zhao Wei. Li Xun did not trust You Chong very much, so the inspection battalion led by Zheng Chun and Zhao Wei was not taken away, but stayed in Wu'an City. Yuanhe's 3,200 people, Li Xun's 300 personal guards, and two thousand soldiers transferred from Gantuyuan, including Dan Qiu's 500 Military Disciplines, and more than 5,500 people.

At dusk, Li Xun led his troops to Shenchi County, where Wang Chengxi's camp was.

Wang Chengxi came out to greet him in person, and his 4,000 troops were ready and could set off at any time.

It was a bit beyond Li Xun's expectations that Wang Chengxi was so happy. Li Cunxiao's guess was not wrong at all. Li Xun did bring a scepter. If Wang Chengxi refused to send troops, Li Xun was ready to kill him and kill a few middle and low-level officers on the grounds of not obeying the general's orders to shock him. Now, with Wang Chengxi's cooperation in this way, Li Xun has no excuse to take action.

There was nothing to say. The army gathered together and, under the leadership of Li Xun, rushed towards Suzhou to provide assistance.

Three days later, in the evening, Fuyang County Government.

The county magistrate of Fuyang County is Zhao Di. He is over 40 years old, with a short figure, a little hunched back, and a poor appearance. He was also a Jinshi in his early years, but he was defeated during the last interview between the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel, and had to start from the lowest level of officials.

This person has a stubborn personality and is not reasonable, but he is very honest in the official position. He has been a county magistrate in Lingnan for more than ten years and is loved by the local people. After the Battle of Longyou, there were a large number of vacancies on Longyou Road. Zhao Di was promoted to the first level and transferred to Fuyang County as the county magistrate.

"Mr. County Magistrate, reinforcements have arrived, reinforcements have arrived."

Liu Fu, the county magistrate of Fuyang County, ran into the county hall with his hands dancing and ecstasy, with a look of ecstasy on his face. Behind him, a man dressed in a civilian manner was followed.

Zhao Di was leaning on the chair to rest. When he heard the movement, he slowly opened his eyes, sat up straight, looked at Liu Fu, frowned, and looked a little bad: "Mr. Liu, how can he be so panicked?"

Liu Fu was very young, and he was in his early twenties when he was about to touch him. He was white and fat, with a frivolous face. He showed his joy and anger in everything. Such a person would become a county magistrate at such age, either he was indeed talented and learned, and he entered the official career through the imperial examination, or he would have a great backer behind him.

Liu Fu knew that Zhao Di didn't like him and didn't care about his displeasure. He shouted: "Sir, Li Xun, the governor of Wuzhou, personally led a 10,000 army and has entered Suzhou. He will be able to reach Fuyang County before tomorrow morning. We will be saved."
