    Chapter 456 Where is the knife?

    The law enforcement team of the Sui Army began to investigate after Li Xiaozong's death. All the people who had been in close contact with Li Xiaozong in the past three years were detained, including hundreds of his soldiers.  These people were kept in separate tents and were guarded by the handsome and virtuous Han Cavalry. They were not allowed to speak to each other to prevent collusion in confession.

    Mou Liangbi, who is sitting in the coaching position, is still a little uncomfortable with this new role. From beginning to end, he plays the role of an assistant, and all he considers is how to make up for the coach's lack of thorough thinking.  Most of his daily responsibilities were logistics and supply matters, and he felt a little panicked when he suddenly sat in the position of presiding over military affairs.

    He and Xujun Wang Yang Kai are very close in temperament, and both of them are a little indecisive.  But after all, Prince Xujun has a military background, knows military affairs well, and can also convince the public.  Strategically, his vision is much further than that of Mouliangbi.

    When it was time to raise the account, Fang Jie refused Mou Liangbi's invitation to sit beside him, and instead sat behind the generals.

    "How do you think we should deal with those cronies of Li Xiaozong?"

    Mou Liangbi pondered for a while, planning to resolve the matter in front of him first.  In fact, as the coach, he has no need to ask about this kind of thing.  As the current leader of this army, everything he says and does is an order.  So the generals sitting below were surprised and looked at each other with some surprise in their eyes.

    Mou Liangbi was right to be cautious when assisting Prince Xu.  But now that his role has changed, he still doesn't know how to give orders.

    ¡°But it¡¯s up to the adults to decide!¡±

    The generals replied, and Mouliangbi suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

    He glanced at Cui Zhongzhen subconsciously, and Cui Zhongzhen nodded slightly to him to indicate that you would make the decision.

    "According to reason"

    After sorting out his words, Mou Liangbi said: "These people should be dealt with according to military law. After all, they have close contacts with Li Xiaozong. It is still unknown whether they have colluded with the rebels. But after all, there are more than a hundred cases."  Human life"

    "Ahem"

    Cui Zhongzhen coughed a few times and quickly winked at Mou Liangbi.  Mouliangbi was stunned for a moment, wondering what was wrong with what he said.  In his opinion, although those soldiers were Li Xiaozong's cronies, they were also former soldiers of the Sui Dynasty after all, and only a few dozen of them came with Li Xiaozong.  Others may not have participated in the things Li Xiaozong conspired.

    "Your kindness is a blessing to us."

    Cui Zhongzhen glanced at Fang Jie. Fang Jie saw that the faces of the generals were a little ugly, and then stood up and said: "Before raising the account today, Mr. Mou also talked to me. Although these people have fought alongside you, they have been together for a long time."  I can't bear to kill them. I admire this kind of kindness. But Lord Mou also said that these people are excusable, but their crimes are unforgivable."

    "My lord has already given instructions before, give them a good time and do not insult them."

    Cui Zhongzhen stood up quickly and said.

    The generals bowed their heads in silence, and everyone could see that Cui Zhongzhen and Fang Jie were just looking for a way forward for Mo Liangbi.  A kindhearted person How can he lead an army with a kindhearted person?  Some of these people must be innocent, between killing and not killing.  Not killing is reasonable.  Killing is within the scope of military law.  But this is an army, this is a battlefield. If such people are not killed, who knows whether the team will be betrayed tomorrow?

    How can such a benevolent woman lead an army?

    "Well¡­¡­"

    Mou Liangbi also noticed the strange look on the faces of the generals, and quickly changed his words: "Yes I just feel that many of them did not follow Li Xiaozong from the beginning, but they were unfairly implicated by him."

    As soon as these words were spoken, Cui Zhongzhen¡¯s face became even more ugly.

    ?????????? How can there be anything unjust or not in this kind of thing?

    "Comer"

    He shouted outside, and a soldier came in immediately: "What are your orders, general?"

    Cui Zhongzhen said: "Your Majesty, you have ordered that Li Xiaozong's cronies have colluded with the rebels and are plotting evil intentions. Now that Li Xiaozong has been executed, the remaining criminals must also be dealt with according to military law. Bring all those people to the center of the camp and have them punished.  Let the soldiers see what happens to these people who cheat on others!"

    "Here"

    The soldier responded and turned around to go out.

    Mou Liangbi sighed and didn't speak for a long time after sitting back down.  The generals below all looked at him, waiting for the next step.  Cui Zhongzhen, who was sitting next to Mou Liangbi, pulled his sleeves and whispered: "It's time to discuss withdrawing troops and returning to the mountain stronghold."

    Mouliangbi hummed, took a deep breath and stood up: "Before that, I still have something to say clearly."

      He got down from the commander's position, walked to the middle of the big tent, and slowly glanced at everyone: "You all know that I am a civilian official. I am not familiar with military matters, and my temperament is really not suitable.  To make decisions. I am touched by the fact that you trust me. But for the sake of this team and the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers, I feel I should give up this position.  ¡±

    "I am willing to continue to control the logistics and fulfill the responsibilities of the staff. I still think that the most suitable person to lead this team now is General Fang."

    "grown ups"

    Fang Jie clasped his fists and said, "You just haven't adapted yet, so don't belittle yourself. In view of your humble position, you should calm down."

    Cui Zhongzhen also said: "The general has been decided, and if we change the candidate again, the morale of the army will be unstable."

    Mouliangbi was startled and shook his head: "I couldn't sleep last night. I kept thinking about whether I had the ability to lead the team. But no matter how I thought about it, I felt that I was not suitable to be the coach. A leader must make prompt decisions. This is what I  I know, but it¡¯s hard to change things in your temper.¡±

    "It's better than this"

    Cui Zhongzhen was silent for a while and said: "Now respecting your Excellency is an unchangeable thing. In terms of qualifications, prestige and official position, Your Excellency is well-deserved. Naturally, the officers and soldiers of the three armies are willing to obey Your Majesty's orders. If Your Excellency has any difficult decisions in military affairs,  , just bring it up to everyone for discussion, and the decision will be made according to the discussion. "

    Fang Jie sighed inwardly, knowing that Cui Zhongzhen had no choice.

    The coach didn¡¯t make a decision, but he brought it out to discuss with the generals Where is the prestige?

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    More than a hundred heads were chopped off, and many of the soldiers watching applauded.  Li Xiaozong had two things that the soldiers could not forgive. First, he killed King Xu to seize military power, and he also hypocritically shouted slogans to avenge King Xu.  Secondly, he is a spy sent by Li Yuanshan, and one day tens of thousands of people may be destroyed in his hands.

    As for whether those who died with Li Xiaozong were innocent or not, it no longer matters.  If it were another position and Li Xiaozong finally won, he would never hesitate to ask such a question.  If it were Luo Yao, he wouldn't even go through the interrogation scene and just kill them all.

    Fang Jie¡¯s Shanziying and Yangziying had already moved over and merged with the Sui army.

    In Fang Jie¡¯s military tent, Cui Zhongzhen couldn¡¯t help but sigh.

    "When Master Mou stood behind the prince, he didn't think anything of it. He is a good officer and a qualified marching commander, but he does lack decisiveness. Although you and I have reconciled what happened today, none of the people below are fools.  , their confidence in Master Mou immediately fell to the bottom. They are all experienced in battles, and they know what it means for an unqualified commander to lead troops, and if they all lose confidence, no matter how elite the soldiers are, they will have no fighting power.  It can be said.¡±

    Fang Jie smiled and said: "It's not as serious as you said. Just give Mr. Mou some time to adapt. People's temperament cannot be changed, but people's habits can be changed."

    "What I'm worried about now is"

    Cui Zhongzhen said: "Once you go to the battlefield and face thousands of troops, can you make a correct judgment?"

    "It is not appropriate to use troops in severe winter"

    Wanyan Zhongde said: "My people are better, but the Sui people are not. The team will set off back to the mountain village tomorrow. We have a winter to rest and recuperate. We will be able to do something about it then."

    Cui Zhongzhen shook his head: "The general's inability to intimidate the generals below is a taboo in the army. The longer it goes on, the worse it will be."

    "Juexiao"

    He looked at Fang Jie and said: "No matter what, you have to fight for the separation of the rear. I know that although this is unfair to your troops, as long as you take care of the army's rear, the soldiers will treat you  I must respect you even more. Master Mou is not suitable to be the leader, and no one else is convinced. The only thing missing now is prestige, so you must fight a few good battles as soon as possible."

    Chen Bishan and Lu Fenghou looked at each other, and then nodded at the same time: "General Cui is right. If we break up the rear, the rebels may not dare to attack. Even if they attack, the mob has nothing to fear. Since  Now that we are here, we must stand firm and not let others look down on us.¡±

    Fang Jie sat down and took a sip of tea: "What I'm thinking about now is what arrangements did Li Xiaozong make before his death?"

    Hearing that he suddenly changed the topic, everyone was a little confused.

    "He wants to kill you to eliminate hidden dangers."

    Fang Jie glanced at Cui Zhongzhen: "What happens after I kill you?"

    Wanyan Zhongde said: "Of course I will attack Master Mou.Master Gaomou is dead, and no one in the army can threaten him.  "

    "Well said."

    Fang Jie nodded: "He doesn't dare to blatantly murder the Lord, so he must have some arrangements. If you were Li Xiaozong, how would he arrange it?"

    Everyone fell into silence, unable to think of it for a moment.  To kill Cui Zhongzhen, Li Xiaozong could commit suicide with the excuse of fear of crime, but he would never dare to kill Liangbi so hastily.  If he wanted to completely control this army, he must have some comprehensive arrangements.

    "Based on my humble position, the best way is to"

    Sun Kaidao tightened his clothes, still feeling that the weather was too cold to bear: "Kill someone with a borrowed knife."

    This thin-looking scholar never spoke. He was dissatisfied that Fang Jie did not directly take over the Sui army, so he seemed a little silent.  In his opinion, Fang Jie's worries can be completely avoided. Fang Jie has the status of an imperial envoy. No one is more noble than him, and it is only natural that he should take over.  If anyone is not convinced, then they will be dealt with according to military law. Unless these people do not admit that they are from the Sui Dynasty, they can be completely subdued.

    If anyone refuses to obey, kill him as a warning to others.

    Hearing Fang Jie mention Li Xiaozong¡¯s arrangements, he couldn¡¯t help but speak.

    This sentence of "killing someone with a borrowed knife" immediately changed the expressions of everyone present.

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    Fang Jie walked to the door of the tent, looked at the sand blown up by the wind outside and murmured: "A borrowed knife to kill someone Where is the knife?"

    "If Shanziying and Yangziying are separated, will they touch this knife that is hidden somewhere?"  Although Li Xiaozong is dead, if he had made arrangements before then, it would be impossible to prevent it.
