Feng Lei shouted: "General, there has been a big mess."
Shi Heng was a little dissatisfied with Feng Lei's surprise, and his attitude became a little cold.
"Old Feng, what's the big mess? What nonsense are you talking about here?"
"General, you want to kill Han Shangshu and Mu Zan of the Duke of Guizhou. This means that chaos is coming..."
"My Lord has already said that he will be detained for the time being..." Shi Heng said coldly.
"Even if it is a detention, there will be big troubles. If Han Shangshu, the commander-in-chief of the military affairs of the three provinces, is detained by the general after entering Jiaozhou City, and the provinces do not know the situation in Annan, all military supplies will be stopped, and those who are without food will be If it weren't for those Annan people, we would also have run out of food and military supplies."
"When the news spreads, the Duke of Yunnan and Guizhou, the capital commanders of Guangxi, and the managers of the three provinces will all think that the general has disloyal intentions and will forcibly close all the channels for us to return to the Ming Dynasty, and will mobilize troops from various provinces. To counter the rebellion, the news reached the capital, and all the officials were filled with indignation. Rumors spread that all my family members waiting in the capital would be arrested for questioning, and Governor Mu would be detained. The morale of the army would be unstable, and internal troubles would be planted. When the time comes, they would be in chaos. Previous achievements may be in danger of being overturned.”
"General, you can't do this..."
Shi Heng did not listen to Feng Lei's heartfelt words. Instead, he became more and more angry. A person who had been following him for more than twenty years actually spoke to him like this for the sake of an outsider.
Han Yong, Mu Zan and others forced themselves, and if they took a step back, they could take a step forward.
If the military order issued now is withdrawn, how will he command the army in the future?
This is telling all the soldiers in Annan that he is not qualified as the general who conquered the south.
He was also trying to tell the court and His Majesty in a different way.
He, Shi Heng, could no longer control the situation.
This is what Shi Heng cannot tolerate the most.
Other people's worries are meaningless in Shi Heng's view. The Ming Dynasty has a strong military and there is no need to worry about the rebellion of the powerful Northland.
Killing anyone who rebels is actually no different from the current military policy, it just delays some time.
"I am the General of the Conquest of the South. I was appointed by His Majesty himself. Your Majesty has handed over all the affairs of the Conquest of the South to me. They disobey the military orders and collude secretly. Could it be that I have no choice but to compromise? This will cost the court and your Majesty's face." Put it there, if in the future, marching and fighting will involve secret collusion between these subordinates, I, Shi Heng, will also become a criminal of the Ming Dynasty. Old Feng, please stop talking about this, otherwise, I will not care about the old relationship. , I will convict you first."
After Shi Heng finished speaking, Feng Lei was not afraid at all. When he was still trying to give advice, he was pulled away by a general beside him...
This general is called Zhao Gu'an. He has always been Shi Heng's personal commander, and he also holds the position of general. He is responsible for the protection of the imperial city.
The personal commander is responsible for the front camp of the Chinese army. This is the most important position.
Zhao Gu'an knew that if Feng Lei continued to speak, he would definitely be accused, which would make the situation even more uncontrollable.
After Zhao Gu'an stopped Feng Lei, he asked: "General, if they come up with His Majesty's decree, how should we deal with it?"
"That's just an edict. Your Majesty can't possibly get my order for them. Han Yong is very cunning. He dares to do such a thing." Shi Heng said with a cold snort.
At this time, Shi Heng would not recognize its legality even if an imperial edict covered with jade seals was placed in front of him.
And these generals became even more panicked.
Jiao Zhao could say this casually, and the general had lost his mind.
"General, what if it's true? General Shi Biao told you when you left Liaodong, to protect yourself wisely and retreat bravely is not to protect yourself, but your family. General, my wife and the two young masters can't They are all in the capital, are you really not caring about them and are willing to take risks?"
When Shi Heng heard Shi Biao's name, he lost control instantly. He grabbed the tea cup next to him and slammed it to the ground. With a bang, the tea cup fell into pieces: "Don't mention that little brat to me, the white-eyed wolf who has no respect for his elders... …”
In all these years, Shi Heng had never received any news from Shi Biao. A letter had already made Shi Heng very dissatisfied.
Of course he knew what Shi Biao was afraid of...
But Shi Biao was afraid, but Shi Heng was not.
Hearing that the subordinate he trusted most, at this time, brought out the advice Shi Biao had given him back then, making Shi Heng unable to control his anger anymore.
I'm at war.
This is a war to destroy the country with hundreds of thousands of troops, more than 300,000 civilians, and all the people and financial resources of the three southwest provinces.
How can you succeed if you are afraid of your hands and feet...
The army is not attacked, the city is not attacked, the land is not contested, the emperor's orders are not accepted...
What the ancients understood more than a thousand years ago, why don't these people understand it now?
After Shi Heng finished speaking, these generals who had followed Shi Heng for many years were all shocked.
Zhao Gu'an, who brought up Shi Biao, was also shocked. He thought that Shi Heng would restrain himself when he mentioned Shi Biao and his family in Beijing. He could also pay attention to it in the next battle with Han Yong, Mu Zan and others. the means you use.
But now it seems that Shi Biao's appearance did not make Shi Heng a little afraid, but made him lose control of his emotions...
Feng Lei stood up and said: "General, from the general's perspective, General Shi Biao never contacted the general. He did nothing wrong. At the very least, he could preserve some of the blood of the Shi family."
"What do you mean?" Shi Heng was on the verge of exploding.
"General, we people have already broken through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. If our brothers are still alive and take us to die, we will have no complaints at all. But which brother doesn't have a family now? Do you really think so?" Are you satisfied that all your brothers' families and children must be buried with you for your arrogance, and that they all become old and homeless?"
"Feng Lei, do you really think that this general will not dare to kill you?" Shi Heng stared at Feng Lei and said angrily.
He already had murderous intent.
Feng Lei, Zhao Gu'an and other generals also felt Shi Heng's killing intent.
So many years.
This was the first time that Shi Heng had murderous intentions towards these generals who had been following him for a long time.
Feng Lei was not afraid. He just raised his hands in salute and said in the calmest tone: "General, there is something going on at the station. The general cannot stay for long. If the general really wants to kill me, do it before the general leaves the imperial city. , otherwise the general will leave the imperial city and the general wants to kill him, but it will not be that easy..."
After saying that, Feng Lei turned around and left.
Shi Heng didn't care about his wealth and life, but Feng Lei couldn't. He had kept his words and done everything to the end. From now on, he could only stick to his job and live peacefully in his station, ignoring the struggles among the senior officials. .
Feng Lei turned around and walked away gracefully. At this time, Shi Heng also took out the saber from his waist. Looking at Feng Lei's back, he stepped forward with the saber, seriously intending to chop Feng Lei.
At this time, dozens of generals rushed forward, holding Shi Heng's knife-holding hand while pleading for mercy.
"General, you can't kill Brother Feng..."
"General, please calm down..."
"General, you must not act impulsively..."
After being stopped by these people, Feng Lei walked out of the palace, and then walked towards the outside of the imperial city without looking back.
The guards on duty in the imperial city also bent down to signal when Feng Lei passed by...
Shi Heng, who was in the palace, was stopped. There was really no place to vent the anger in his heart, so he shouted outside: "Come here, come here..."
Zhao Gu'an and others thought that Shi Heng was going to give an order to kill Feng Lei, but they tried to dissuade him again. ŴŴŴ.BiQuGe.Biz
After hearing this, two palace people who had been outside also walked into the palace amidst the commotion.
They walked to Shi Heng and said in blunt Chinese: "General, what are your orders?"
But Shi Heng didn't say a word, he chopped it down with his sword and pulled it out. The palace man who spoke followed his instructions and shouted to the ground. The other palace man was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and begged for mercy: "General , spare your slave’s life, spare your slave’s life, General.”
After killing someone, the nameless fire in Shi Heng's heart was somewhat relieved.
"Pull him down, then come in and clean up the blood stains..."
"Yes, General."
After saying that, the palace man stood up, lowered his head and pulled his companion who fell on the ground, and dragged his body, which was still bleeding out, towards the outside of the palace.
He kept his head down.
When he arrived at the door, he suddenly heard the sound of pulling a string, and was startled. Then he raised his head and saw a sharp arrow flying towards him. He didn't feel too much fear, he just felt a rush in his heart. Liang looked down and saw that the sharp arrow was hitting his chest...
After Shi Heng shot another palace man, he hung the bow on the pillar next to him.
Many generals who saw this scene were all relieved. By killing these two eunuchs, the generals would not kill Feng Lei...
"Old Feng, I was just confused for a moment. How could I put aside many years of friendship and kill him because of these verbal disputes? Zhao Gu'an..."
"The end will be here."
"The defense of the imperial city has been strengthened. Next to this palace, all the people we brought from the capital will be replaced. The eight thousand people led by Mu Zan, you can make arrangements and transfer them to the west city. Without military orders, they are not allowed to move... …”
"Yes, General..."
"I would like to see, General, how capable Han Yong is without a single soldier in his hand, and how much he can perform..." Shi Heng said thoughtfully.
In Shi Heng's view, Annan's situation at this time was inseparable from him.
Because he knew his own importance, he still did what he shouldn't do even though he knew clearly what he should do and what he shouldn't do.
Of course, this is most likely because Chen Ying became the Duke of the Ming Dynasty one step ahead of him.
Zhu Jianshen, who was far away in Beijing, didn't know that he was using his left hand and his right hand to do some small tricks, but Shi Heng didn't accept the tricks at all, and made a series of stupid moves to express his dissatisfaction and anger that he didn't dare to express clearly... …
