Chang Anqing

Chapter 106
"Mr. Guo—"

The voice of Guo Zhao in the hall fell, and Zhao Yi's voice fell in a deep voice, and he slammed into the hall heavily. Before he continued, Guo Zhao could also see the reminder from those dark eyes that could not see the bottom.

It was his slip of the tongue.

However, without waiting for him to plead guilty, one of the generals on the other side came out carelessly. He saw that he had an ordinary appearance and a rough eyebrow. Then he grabbed the braid just now and bowed his hands respectfully towards Zhao Yi and said: "General Guo's words are presumptuous—"

"Chang Huan, you!"

Guo Zhao was displeased with the words, and stood up abruptly in front of Zhao Yi, his brows were grim and disdainful.

However, I never thought that the general who was called Chang Huan would not be moved at all when he saw this. Instead, he looked at Guo Zhao more provocatively. God knows that his patience with Guo Zhao is no longer a day or two. .

Relying on the fact that he is the former subordinate of the Duke of Qin, and his seniority is deeper than that of the Yuling King they admire, he makes a special case every day and ignores them. , and the fact that he was born and died with Guo Zhao as a colleague, he has tolerated him a lot.I never thought that guy would actually hold himself up with this, and he became more and more self-esteemed.

Now seeing other people walking by the river, they finally got their shoes wet, so there is no reason for him not to add insult to injury.

Therefore, Chang Huan turned a blind eye to Guo Zhao, who was almost furious beside him, but always respected Zhao Yi.

"Your Majesty, although the last general comes from a humble background, he also knows the words "loyal to the emperor and serve the country". General Guo is a dignified general and you Yiwei, don't you know that all the soldiers and horses in this world are your majesty's soldiers and horses, are they your personal soldiers and horses? General Guo keeps talking about this heinous crime in a simple way, as if the women in the inner house are fighting for a thread, don't you think it's presumptuous?"

He never thought that Chang Huan, who had always been vulgar and ignorant in his eyes, would be able to take him into the army at this moment, leaving him speechless, choked there, and Guo Zhao felt extremely stagnant in an instant.

"Boshu—"

Just as he was about to refute again, a refined and steady voice came from beside him. Guo Zhao followed him and saw that Wang Shu, who was once under Duke Hou's command like him, was frowning at this moment, and looked at him in disapproval. With a light reminder, he pressed down his words.

At the moment when they looked at each other, Guo Zhao suddenly heard the uniform sound of armor hitting the ground, and saw those guys present all kneeling down. The next moment, he knew that the voices of these people were not inferior to those useless A sour speaker.

"Your Majesty has always been well-organized in his army, but General Guo has always been a cover-up. When there is a war, don't the people under his command come back with full rewards? Others go out to stabilize the side, and they seem to be going to get rich. What about those robbers who robbed their homes?" What's the difference?"

"That's right, it's also a war, so why does Guo Boxu violate military orders every time? This time, all the brothers present saw it with their own eyes before going out to the battle. His Majesty gave him thousands of orders, but those bastards who don't know what to do They still call him Guo Boxu, he is so used to it that he doesn't even listen to what your Majesty said, and that's the big mistake."

Hearing all the generals below stand up and speak out filled with righteous indignation, Chang Huan immediately said in a fierce voice: "That's right, these are his soldiers from Guo Boxu, if they are mine, I have to remove their ears first, and it's okay to keep them." Blind in vain, the bastard who brought disaster to the country and the people—”

When Guo Zhao saw that everyone was pointing their finger at him, he immediately felt that the situation was not right. He ignored Wang Shu's comforting eyes and shouted angrily, "Didn't all these treasures enter my house? Who created this inch of territory?" Didn’t they rely on the soldiers in the same robe? They all left home when they were young, abandoned their wives, children, and mothers to live a life of throwing their heads, so what about rewarding them with some money and food? Don’t you want the horse to run again? Are you full?"

"Besides, those barbarians have repeatedly invaded me and burned, killed and looted the territory. We only robbed a few women and some things, but you are all jumping up and criticizing me now? Could it be that everyone is collaborating with the enemy and treason, speaking to the enemy! "

Upon hearing these radical words, Wang Shu on the side immediately frowned, silently looked at Zhao Yi who had never said a word in the hall, and then looked at Guo Zhao who had been forced to lose his mind. Head away, as if in meditation.

Hearing that Guo Zhao was still plausible at this moment, another general stepped forward and said: "Mr. Guo's words are good, even the old women in the streets are willing to bow down after hearing it—"

"you!"

Hearing others say that he disturbed Zhao Yi unreasonably, Guo Zhao pointed angrily, but seeing that the man was fearless, he just cupped his hands and faced Zhao Yi, and then squinted at Guo Zhao and said: "According to Guo Gong's intention, the subordinate Soldiers can’t win battles if they don’t take people’s money? The king has been in the army for several years, and his subordinates have never burned, killed or looted. By luck?"

Upon hearing this, Guo Zhao immediately had nothing to say, only felt his chest rise and fall violently, and he couldn't calm down more and more.

Just when the crowd below was raging and making a fuss, Zhao Yi behind the map finally raised his hand suddenly, and there was a sudden silence below, everyone looked at Guo Zhao dissatisfied, and then retreated back.

Zhao Yi glanced at everyone, and his deep and compelling eyes finally fell on Guo Zhao, carrying a lot of pressure, enough to shackle people.

"Everyone is right. The military order is like a mountain. There is no way not to blame everyone. Before the expedition, all the soldiers heard the order not to plunder. The soldiers under Du Guogong's command ignored it and fell into the enemy's tricks, causing our army to lose countless lives. Qian Jingqi, the Duke of Guo is not strict with this matter, he will be fined for half a year and given fifty army sticks, can Duke Guo have any objection?"

Although everyone felt that the punishment was a little lighter, since King Yuling had spoken out, the dust must have settled. How can you say that hitting fifty army sticks is a small punishment and a big commandment, which made Guo Zhao's face embarrassing. .

"As for the soldiers outside the hall, the treatment remains the same."

Zhao Yi threw down the few words of Fengqingyundan, and someone in the hall had already walked out, intending to pass on the military order.

"Big--"

Just when Guo Zhao was anxious to speak again, he was stopped by Zhao Yi's silent eyes.

It was not the first time he had seen that kind of gaze, but he read the four words from point to point.

Nothing has changed. In this cold night where the dark clouds are thick and heavy in the twilight, and it seems that a heavy snow is about to fall, a cold light flashes in front of the hall, and with the sound of cold blades piercing the sky, a strong smell of blood suddenly rises into the sky, almost Even passers-by outside the mansion can smell it.

When everyone retreated quietly, Zhao Yi's eyes as deep as an ancient well stared at the soft curtain where Guo Zhao left, becoming more and more cold and ruthless, and the next moment he heard a man's deep voice from beside him: "Your Majesty, the plan is as follows." god."

Zhao Yi's expression was the same when he heard that, Guo Zhao had been with him for several years, and he knew his temperament.

Back then when Hou Gong passed Guo Zhao and recommended him to the current position, Guo Zhao already held a grudge in his heart, but now he just thought that he won the support of the Western Regions garrison by himself, so he forbears it and barely respects him, but To him, those points are probably a little face for himself.That's why he relied on his seniority and relied on himself to be superior to all the generals.

Such a person, as the general said just now, is a sharp knife if used well, and the source of disaster for the country and the people if used badly.

That's why he has always followed him and given him the privilege of being hot-eyed. Even today's situation, he also guessed that he allowed his subordinates to plunder the people. This is what Guo Zhao couldn't do when Duke Hou was alive. Yes, even though he had this taint, but after all he looted the enemy's civilians, he won the battle, and won the hearts of the army with the money and food he got from the looting, so he turned a blind eye to it.

So even if he deliberately made repeated orders in front of everyone, how could Guo Zhao take it seriously and remember it in his heart, but it was just a gust of wind in his ears.

But these stains are like snowflakes one by one, and they will always pile up into heavy snow, enough to bury a person.

Now that his line has been put down, if Guo Zhao can still remember Hou Gong's words back then, it may be too late, if not——

Thinking of this, Zhao Yi just looked back indifferently in the silence, and the person who followed the sound and spoke to his side was the young general who had followed him back to Chang'an earlier, Li Shen, a rising star whom he single-handedly picked up.

"Yichen, proceed as planned."

Hearing Zhao Yi's instructions, Li Shen immediately cupped his fists and said calmly, "Yes."
