Chapter 15 The Danger of Change 3
That night, I looked at the map and thought about it for a night. I only felt dizzy and wanted to rest on the table, but I fell asleep.
What woke me up from my dream was a heavy knock on the door and the cry of Keen outside the door: "Liu Sima, it's not a big deal!"
"What's the matter? Where is the world? I opened the door and asked. It was not Liu Zhong who woke me up, but Kuan, which was really inexplicable.
"In the military camp in the west, the soldiers seem to be mutiny."
"The mutiny!" I was shocked.
"Exact." Kuai En brought the armor for me.
I changed my clothes as quickly as possible and said to Kuo En, "What's the use of armor?"
Kuang was stunned for a moment. Seeing that I rushed out of the door, she chased me out with armor and pulled me and said, "Please wear good armor in case."
I pushed his hand away and said, "The armor is used to prepare for the enemy. This is not to fight against the enemy. Of course, you don't need armor.
Despite Kuan's dissuasion, I took over the reins and drove the horse to the west of the village.
Half a miles away from the barracks, I heard the noise and the sound of weapons colliding over there. It seems to be handed over!
I don't know how Liu Zhong dealt with it. I am secretly anxious. While whipping and slamming the horse's belly, I continued to think about how to deal with it.
Soldiers mutiny sometimes appeared in the army of the State of Jin, but because of the good military discipline in Beifu, I have never met them in the army for more than ten years. Generals usually talk about the mutiny of soldiers. Many generals are not afraid of life or death on the battlefield, but they have no choice but to change. Because in addition to courage, it is more about wisdom to deal with mutiny.
I haven't thought of any other solution except trying my best to appease it.
At this time, my horse has run to the light. A guard following the horse ran a few steps to grab me and shouted at the noisy place, "Sh on, everyone! Liu Sima has arrived!"
His shout did not work. Because it's so noisy here that few people can hear it.
The mountain road is too narrow, and the trees along the roadside are overgrown with fire, so that I can't see what's going on. Only a dozen people nearby are holding weapons to meet us. The sound of weapons behind them was very sharp.
The shouting guard was about to move forward when he was shot in the calf by an oncoming arrow. He immediately lay on the ground and was rescued by the people next to him.
I gestured to a guard behind me, who would take out a gong and knock it hard. This gong is specially used on the battlefield. The so-called Mingjin withdraws troops, and it sends a signal that we will stop the war and find an opportunity to retreat. The crisp sound of the gong can cut through the fighting on the battlefield.
On such a night, the sound of the gong sounds harsh and very disturbing.
This move has had a obvious effect, and the sound of weapons collision has gradually decreased. The guards once again declared that Liu Sima had been present at the scene.
A group of people poured in after blocking our crowd just now. After seeing who I was, they whispered for a long time, and finally divided into two rows along the mountain road, and a road flashed out in the middle. Although there was no intention to engage, everyone held weapons vigilantly.
I observed the situation and felt a little dilemma: the opposite side has flashed, and if we retreat at this time, the situation will become difficult to deal with; and if we move forward, we don't know what these people want to do.
Except for a few personal soldiers, I don't even have anyone to discuss together. However, an idea quickly flashed in my mind, so I gave the knife in my waist to the guards and signaled them not to follow me. I rode my horse alone into the group.
Time passes slowly. The reason is not because the horse walks slowly, but because all the people present are nervous. Especially in the tranquility after the noise just now, **'s horse seems to have experienced a long time every step forward.
After taking the impossible first step, I no longer hesitate and worry, because no matter how much worry it is, it is superfluous to look at the randomness.
Ma just took more than ten steps forward, and suddenly two people jumped out of the crowd with weapons. I was prepared for this, but the horse was unprepared. **'S horse hissed, raised his front leg, and overturned me to the ground.
The horse made in Dajin is really not a big deal. This horse will be frightened in the barracks. If it wants to cross the horse and charge on the battlefield in the future, I don't know how much it will suffer because of the horse.
I suddenly fell to the ground. When the two groups of people saw this, they thought they were going to fight, and they all raised their weapons to fight.
At a critical moment, I was "lost my horseshoe". In this way, he fell to the ground in front of all his subordinates, which was both embarrassed and really humiliating. However, I don't have time to think about this at this time.
The two people who just jumped out of the crowd encountered such an accident, and they were also surprised. They just looked at each other and did nothing.
I turned around and motioned my soldiers to put down their weapons. At this time, I saw raun squeeze through the crowd with two long knives. One is his own long knife, and the other is my moon knife. I shook my head at him, and then slowly stood up by myself, dusting off my clothes without hurry. Remind yourself: Don't panic, be calm.
I know both of them who are in the way. They are two junior officers. Just now, the two of them probably agreed to do something before I came over, but they didn't expect the horse's abnormal reaction. When I got up, I saw that they were still stunned.
"What on earth is going on? What do you two have to say? I looked at the two people in front of me with a smile on my face and said.
"When will our military uniforms be issued?"
The military's uniform has been owed for two months. Recently, the people have been recruited into the army, and the newly arrived military pay has basically been distributed to the recruits and death squads.
This situation had made the army unstable, but one thing a few days ago made the soldiers make a big deal.
It turned out that Liu Laozhi sent an official letter to officially notify the court of the order: because of the unfavorable war in Huiji County, especially the destruction of Juzhang City, Liu Laozhi and I were fined three months, and each officer was fined one or two months according to the size of their military position. Even He Wuji, who had just arrived at the stream and had nothing to do with the loss of sentences, was fined for two months.
For me, Yu Qiujin and others, it is indeed an unhappy thing that the military's compensation has been reduced, but for most officers and all soldiers, the military's compensation has not yet been issued, and they have been punished and confiscated. This is really outrageous. Moreover, the loss of Zhangcheng is not all his own responsibility. Even if the emperor drives his own expedition and faces so many thieves, I'm afraid he can't defend Juzhang City.
This incident was full of complaints, and some people also threatened to hand over their ordnance and return home. It took a lot of energy and easily calmed down the military. I thought this matter was over. Unexpectedly, there was a sudden ups and ups about tonight.
