Chapter 820: Joining the Zhenbei Army
"Cha Fuli was at the top of the list. He treated Chen Yingyang and other generals rudely, but he was very polite to me. Although there was a gap, he was obviously not as arrogant as he was to his subordinates. I'm afraid it was more or less. Afraid of me..."
"What's interesting is that some of his subordinates and other military commanders are either silent, treating me as an ordinary commander, or testing me secretly..." "
Marshal Chen Yingyang and his subordinates have been silent. He didn't say it clearly, but he was polite to me and not as presumptuous as Chafuli's men...Some of Chen Yingyang's men occasionally showed their dissatisfaction with Chafuli..." "Mo Dao Army has a full strength of 10,000, divided into left and right
. , right, front, rear, and center five armies, each commanding 2,000 men. All four generals are fourth-grade, except for the middle army general Feng Anling, who is third-grade and is also the deputy commander of the Modao Army. Feng Anling was very polite when he saw me, and his personality He is calm, thoughtful, and well versed in the art of war. According to Night Guard intelligence, this man was born in the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army. Like all the generals of Modao Army, he is backed by upstarts in the military, who were all promoted after Emperor Taining ascended the throne..."
"The former army general He Bao is a tough guy with barbarian blood. He is good at using a pair of big hammers. He relied entirely on his strength to get to this position. When he saw me, he was a little unconvinced. In other words, most of the generals here saw that I was a Taoist cultivator. Even the fortune-teller commanding the troops is not convinced. But if you are not convinced, no one dares to challenge me, a fortune-teller, who has some brains..." "
General Lu Wenhua of the Left Army has a fair appearance, is good at using spears, is gentle, elegant, and proactive. Said he liked my poems..."
"Right Army General Ding Tiannian turned out to be a puppet cultivator. This is very rare. He and I talked about Liu Muwa. Yesterday Liu Muwa summoned him and the two chatted for a few words..."
"General Ren Shihao of the rear army is a taciturn, black-faced man, not good at words, but meticulous in his work..." "
On the whole, the upper echelons of the imperial court are very smart. It is impossible for such an important army as Modao Army to be handed over to random people. These five Regardless of their strength, military exploits, experience or leadership level, they are all above ordinary generals. Moreover, these five people are all upstart forces, and are naturally opposed to the forces of the Great General King..."
"Preliminary inference is that there will be a small friction between me and them, and there will be no conflict until the critical moment. As for them taking the initiative to provoke me, it is impossible to happen. They can't afford the price of messing up the Modao Army. Of course , Unless the forces behind them take action..."
"Find time, I will deduce them. Now, I will lay out the overall situation in the army, stabilize myself, and resolve various small problems..."
Li Qingxian did as he said, The three major situations of Eighty-Eight Towers Mountain and River, Golden Python Stealing Dragon and Wanshan Zhenshi were successively laid out.
After doing everything well, at dawn, I heard an announcement from the guards outside that the supervisor was coming to visit.
Li Qingxian didn't expect Chafuli to come so early and come here on his own initiative as a superior, so he hurriedly walked out the door and saw a tall eunuch wearing a purple python robe.
Cha Fuli has a fair complexion and a smile. Because of his martial arts, he is unusually tall compared to ordinary eunuchs.
"Your Majesty, Li Qingxian, has met Mr. Chafuli." Li Qingxian said.
Chafuli walked forward with a smile and said: "The night guards in the inner factory are all one family, Mr. Li, don't see anyone outside. How about it, are you getting used to it?" "Everything is fine. Besides,
I have never led an army. I came here to show my respect to you." Lord Supervisor and other colleagues learned here." Li Qingxian said.
"You scholars, you are good at everything, but you never tell the truth and you are too clever. We warriors are much more straightforward..." Zhafuli said while laughing.
Li Qingxian didn't expect to meet this person, but he was relieved when he thought that this was the military.
The two entered the house and chatted while eating breakfast.
Chafuli turned out to be exactly what he said. He didn't beat around the bush and asked about Li Qingxian's past experiences and inquired about Li Qingxian's background. Li Qingxian mostly answered truthfully.
Slowly, Li Qingxian came to understand that Chafuli was not a straightforward person, but a very clever person. He could see at a glance that he liked a straightforward way of communication, so he chatted in the way he liked. After chatting with Li Qingxian, Chafuli began to talk about the Zhenbei Army, and as he talked, he vented his bitterness.
"...There are thousands of threads in the capital, and there are holes everywhere. Which hole should I sew?" "The
cabinet asked us to go east, the Ministry of War asked us to go west, the Fifth Army Governor's Office asked us to go east, west, north and south, and the emperor often If you don't say anything, tell me, who do we listen to?"
"You know better, I, the supervisor, look good on the surface, but actually I get scolded everywhere. Chen Yingyang scolded me, is he wrong? Yes, I won Of course he will scold him if he loses control of his Tenth Army. But do I really want to offend him? No, but he doesn’t listen to the orders from above. What can I do? There is also the General King. We admire him in our hearts. , but he didn’t listen to the instructions or the announcement, what did he think of the court? Why didn’t I deal with the river guard army? If I wore the same pants with the river guard army, the city of God would send someone to pick off my head the next day...
"But do I dare to slam the table with the General Wang? Not to mention that he is a real prince, even with his outstanding martial arts skills in repelling super-class ones, I don't dare to say anything. No, I don't even dare to see him now. " , for fear of slapping me to death..."
"You have been in the Night Guard all these years, and you know us well. Unlike some bosses in Shendu, you always think that the monsters are easy to fight and things are easy to do..." After listening to
Chafuli's words, Li Qing Xian is vaguely aware.
Chafuli didn't tell it to himself, but to Zhao Yishan, the cabinet and the cultural and cultural forces behind him.
Wen Xiu didn't have much influence in the army, but he was indeed the strongest force in the court.
At Chafuli's level, even if he is vengeful for killing his father, he can smile at each other before taking action, not to mention that the two of them currently need to cooperate and there is no irreconcilable conflict.
Although the inner court forces represented by Chafuli had some friction with Wenxiu, although Wenxiu scolded the eunuchs as eunuchs every day, and the eunuchs scolded Wenxiu every day for talking nonsense and harming the country, the conflict between the two sides was not as serious as imagined.
The fact that he could take over the Mo Dao Army instead of the worst army in the Zhenbei Army shows that the inner court forces still hope to cooperate with Wen Xiu.
In Qi State, literary cultivators and eunuchs were the two forces least likely to betray the royal family.
As for other forces, even nobles who need royal rewards are also major rebels in troubled times.
After figuring out the general outline, Li Qingxian was basically relieved that at least in the short term, he would not have any major problems.
During the chat, both parties exchanged some information in a casual manner.
Chafuli promised not to overly interfere with the Mo Dao Army, and made it clear that he was willing to cooperate with Li Qingxian. He especially hoped to use the power of Li Qingxian's life masters, and even hoped that Li Qingxian could recruit more life masters, Taoist cultivators, and literary cultivators to join the Zhenbei Army. .
Li Qingxian also said that he focuses on fortune-telling and Taoism, but he is actually not willing to join the army. Once there is a war, he will use fortune-telling. Normally, the management of the Modao Army is under the jurisdiction of the deputy commander and general of the Central Army, Feng Anling. .
Both parties felt the other's basic sincerity and happily exchanged communication charms.
After Cha Fuli left, Li Qingxian kept his promise and asked Zhou Xuanshan about the specific time for Tianshi Sect to select the chief of the outer sect.
