Liaozhai Great Sage

"It was rumored that on the night when the rebel army attacked the city, some troops descended to rebel and wanted to attack Jinling City at night, but in the middle of the night, there was a burst of thunder in Jinling City, which lasted almost all night. Are the rumors true?"

Zongbing Zhao also frowned deeply, his face serious.

He believed in the help of ghosts and gods, because he had also experienced it. If Li Xiuyuan really had ghosts and gods to help him, then he couldn't be treated as an ordinary guerrilla general.

Soon, Li Xiuyuan rode the dragon colt to the side of the painting boat, and then the dragon colt jumped several feet from the water surface, and finally landed firmly on the boat.

"Guerrilla General Li Xiuyuan came to pay a visit to the three commanders."

He got off his horse and looked around, only to see twenty or thirty guards looking at him in panic.

He didn't bother to pay attention, and waved his hand as a signal, and the dragon colt turned into a white light and flew into his ghost king's bag, and then strode towards the inside of the painting boat.

Li Xiuyuan didn't believe the excuse that these three chief soldiers were drunk and now sleeping soundly.

"It turned out to be General Li. General Li is a young hero. He led the army to repel [-] rebels at a young age. It made me feel ashamed."

At this time, the three general soldiers came out from the inside together, just in time to meet Li Xiuyuan who was about to come in.

With smiles on their faces, the three general soldiers said enthusiastically: "Please forgive me, General Li. It's not that I don't want to see General Li. I'm really drunk and out of shape, and it's not easy to meet, so I refused. General Li should not I'll be surprised."

"Come on, come on, come on, General Li, there's already some bouillon and side dishes inside, if General Li doesn't mind, why don't you go inside and have a drink to warm yourself up?"

Faced with the enthusiasm of these general soldiers, Li Xiuyuan just pretended to be false: "Since that's the case, then I will not be polite."

"Okay, hurry up and speak quickly, please come inside." Sun Zongbing waved his hand.

These three chief soldiers really changed their faces faster than turning the pages of a book. They were still dividing up before, plotting against Li Xiuyuan, secretly killing him, but now they greet each other with smiles, ignoring the difference in positions between them, they don’t know People thought that Li Xiuyuan and them were friends and confidants.

Soon, four people sat down.

Zongbing Sun signaled again, and immediately there were beauties from the brothel waiting around, serving tea and water.

Seeing Li Xiuyuan's prowess, and having heard about his deeds of repelling the rebels, the brothel woman couldn't help but her heart fluttered.

The wine was filled, and several general soldiers raised their glasses together: "Come on, this glass of wine is to congratulate General Li. Congratulations to General Li for repelling the Nine Mountain King Li Liangjin and relieving the danger of Jinling City."

The beauty in the brothel next to her stretched out her jade hand with a smile on her face and held a glass of wine in front of Li Xiuyuan; "I invite the general to drink up this glass~!"

Li Xiuyuan was sitting upright, unmoved, and had no intention of drinking, he said abruptly: "I came from the yamen, and I heard that some commander-in-chiefs sent their own soldiers to occupy the yamen and made a mess of it. This is how the commander-in-chief looks at this time."

The smiles on the faces of the three chief soldiers froze, and they slowly put down the wine glasses in their hands.

"General Li, why bother with such trivial matters, it's just that the soldiers under him are ignorant." Zongbing Sun said.

Li Xiuyuan said: "If you are not sensible, then you should understand the military order. A few soldiers under the commander-in-chief injured my sergeant. This is already a violation of the military order. I have already sent people to lock those dozens of soldiers into cells. In the middle, as long as the commander-in-chief nods his head, I will kill these dozens of ignorant soldiers, and set the military discipline for the commander-in-chief."

As soon as these words came out, their faces immediately became gloomy.

He thought that Li Xiuyuan was here to curry favor with himself and others, but he didn't expect that he was here to find trouble.

What is it to arrest the soldiers under his command without saying a word, put them under custody, and even want to behead them?

Where is the face of the three chief soldiers who spread the word?

"General Li's words are serious. It is my intention to order the guarding of the government office. The city is in chaos right now. The government office is an important place in the city. Once there is chaos, the consequences will be unimaginable. I think the number of people sent by General Li is a bit small, so I added a It's just for defense, General Li, without asking me for a test, is a little unreasonable to guard the soldiers I sent in the past." Sun Zongbing said with a slightly cold face.

"In this way, occupying the government office and disrupting government affairs is the intention of several commander-in-chiefs?" Li Xiuyuan moved his head slightly, and cast a glance at the three commander-in-chiefs.

"enough."

Suddenly, Zongbing Qian slapped the wine table and shouted: "Li Xiuyuan, you are just a guerrilla general. In terms of official rank, even a member of the army under my command is higher than you. I respect you for being loyal to the king and serving the country. , repelling the bandits, and making meritorious service, I will treat you with more courtesy, don't be shameless, what do you mean today, are you here to ask the official?"

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his finger and pointed at Li Xiuyuan's head and said: "Do you believe it or not, I will remove your official position with one order, so that you, a guerrilla general, will no longer be able to be a guerrilla general."

The beauties in the brothel who were serving at the side were startled, their faces turned pale, and they all backed away.

Why did such a good banquet suddenly become a grand banquet?

Li Xiuyuan sat there firmly, unmoved, and said: "I am a local general, and a few foreign generals are commanders. The soldiers who came to support Jinling City must have violated the military orders, according to the laws of our dynasty, this is considered a military transfer without orders, and if it is charged with treason, the three chief soldiers will be beheaded."

"Humph."

Zongbing Qian sneered: "You martial artist still knows the laws of the court, but do you know that the court has issued an order, although the transfer order has not yet arrived, but the imperial decree will come down soon, and in a few days, I will naturally take it. When it comes to the transfer order, you are not qualified enough to use this to scare me."

Their move is common in officialdom.

They are well-informed and know when the imperial edict will come out, but it has not been delivered because of the news, so they will act while the imperial edict is still being drawn up. If the imperial edict comes down, Jinling City may not even be able to drink soup , and talk about eating meat.

Chapter 459 The Shipwreck

Although there were singing and dancing all the time on the painting boat, the atmosphere above the banquet was particularly dignified and depressing.

The three commanders led their troops to Jinling City in order to snatch the credit for repelling the Nine Mountain King Li Liangjin, but what they met was Li Xiuyuan, a young man who was unscrupulous in the officialdom. There seemed to be no effect in front of him.

The difference in official positions between the two is so great that Li Xiuyuan dared to come to Xingshi to inquire about the crime.

How does this keep the three chief soldiers from getting angry.

"Li Xiuyuan, pay attention to the tone of your words. Is it possible for the commander-in-chief to do things well? I need to ask you, a little guerrilla general, if you are sensible? If you are sensible, apologize now and go back immediately. If you are not sensible, I will deal with you today." Sun Zongbing from Yangzhou said.

Li Xiuyuan glanced at him, then at Zongbing Qian before him, and then said: "Masters of the generals, if you want to share my credit, it doesn't matter, it's just a matter of fighting for credit. Everyone depends on their own abilities. If you can compete I have nothing to say about my victory. Since ancient times, this has been a common occurrence in the officialdom. It is nothing, but the three generals lead troops to destroy the stability of Jinling City, and they are not accountable for injuring the soldiers under my command. It doesn't count."

"So, for the sake of a few soldiers, General Li came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime?" Qian Zongbing said with a cold face.

"Yes, this is the main reason I came here this time."

Li Xiuyuan said: "Another reason is that I want to ask the three general soldiers to withdraw from Jinling City. In addition, I also heard that the three general soldiers robbed the money bank and grain depot in the city. I also ask the three general soldiers to order them to return. , as long as the three generals can do it. Today you and I will not violate the river."

"Bold, Li Xiuyuan, how dare you talk to this general soldier like this? This general soldier can see that you are a tough bone. If you don't want to toast and eat fine wine, come here~!"

Qian Zongbing slapped the wine table violently, the shaking wine glass fell down, and the dishes jumped, and then he shouted loudly to summon the soldiers on the painting boat.

"My lord, this subordinate is here."

Immediately, the gate opened, and more than a dozen elite soldiers rushed in, completely surrounding the small shipyard.

Li Xiuyuan glanced at it, but instead showed a meaningful smile on his face: "Since the commander-in-chief wants to toast me with this glass of fine wine, then I will drink it, but after this glass of wine, the three commander-in-chiefs and I will not die forever." , I hope the three chief soldiers will not regret it by then."

After finishing speaking, he lifted the glass of wine that had been placed on the table before, looked at the three general soldiers again, then swung his neck and drank it all in one gulp.

"Okay, okay, what a lunatic, what a rebellious, arrogant person, who has made such a little military exploits that even I and other general soldiers don't pay attention to it. If you win a few more battles, I'm afraid even His Majesty I can't cure you anymore, come and capture this person alive." Zongbing Qian laughed angrily, seeing Li Xiuyuan's attitude he couldn't bear it anymore.

Sun Zongbing from Yangzhou and Zhao Zongbing from Hunan next to him remained calm.

Li Xiuyuan let Zongbing Qian clean up this thorn. If there is any problem, he can wait for someone to withdraw in time.

"Take me? Just rely on you, a powerless chief soldier? You don't even have the energy to slap the table. I really don't know what qualifications you have to be the chief soldier of a party." Li Xiuyuan's eyes flashed, he slammed the table and stood up. up.
