Chapter 534: Camp Relocation

Ever since the Turks fell into a trap and stole food, the Turks dared not to steal the food and grass of the Tang army.

They were afraid of being tricked by the Tang people again. The Turks also understood that the new Tang army commander was cunning and difficult to deal with.

In the future, when they compete with the Tang army, they must be extremely careful to avoid falling into the trap of the Tang people again.

The sun sets in the west.

The Tang army finally arrived to the north of the Shanyu Protectorate, and the troops of various units began to set up camp.

Pei Xingjian rode his horse to inspect, and then observed the environment and the sky.

"Messenger!" Pei Xingjian shouted.

"What do you want, the general manager?" The messenger immediately appeared in front of Pei Xingjian and said.

"Pass the order down, all troops will immediately move their camps to the high hills and set up camp there." Pei Xingjian said.

"Ah!" The messenger was stunned. The camp was almost ready, but now it had to be moved. Wouldn't everyone's work be in vain?

"What? Hurry up and pass the order!" Pei Xingjian scolded.

"Yes!" The messenger took the order and left. He didn't dare to disobey the commander's order.

The messenger passed Pei Xingjian's order to each camp, which immediately caused a lot of dissatisfaction among them. They had already started to cook.

Many people even took off their armor and prepared to rest. They were too tired after a day of forced march. They had even dug the trenches. Now they were asked to move to the high hills. Isn't it embarrassing for them!

The generals were naturally very dissatisfied with Pei Xingjian's order and wanted to question him why he did this, but they didn't dare to question him alone.

So they discussed and decided to instigate Li Siwen to question Pei Xingjian together and ask him to withdraw the order.

Li Siwen took the lead and brought the generals to Pei Xingjian.

"Hello, General Manager!" Li Siwen and others saluted.

"How is the relocation of the camp going?" Pei Xingjian asked.

"General Manager, the soldiers have already set up the camp, and the trenches to defend against the attack of the Turks have all been dug." "Now the soldiers

are exhausted, and the camp has started to cook. Is it not appropriate to move the camp to a high hill now?" Li Siwen asked.

He really didn't understand Pei Xingjian's purpose. What was it for?

Didn't he know that everyone was very tired after a day's journey? We finally found a place to set up camp.

The camp had just been built, but you ordered the camp to be moved to Gaogang without giving a reasonable explanation. It was really unreasonable

. Others agreed with Li Siwen.

"There is nothing wrong. Follow my military orders. Those who dare to disobey will be severely punished!" Pei Xingjian said.

He didn't have time to explain anything to the people in front of him. If he kept on wasting time, it would be dark.

"But can't the general manager be flexible? The soldiers are very tired now and don't want to move anymore. Please sympathize with the soldiers." Li Siwen said.

"General Manager, please be considerate of the soldiers." Everyone said in unison.

They didn't believe that Pei Xingjian would not compromise in the face of pressure from so many people.

"Stop talking nonsense. This is a military order and cannot be changed. Anyone who dares to disobey the military order will be punished by military law and executed immediately!" Pei Xingjian shouted angrily.

It was almost dark, and these guys were still dithering. What's more, Pei Xingjian had no intention of telling them.

In this way, when it rains heavily at night, they will understand why they did so, and at the same time they will cover themselves with a mysterious veil.

Let them think that they are so predictable that no one will object to their command in the future, and they will all carry out their orders without reservation.

"Yes!" Li Siwen and others saw that Pei Xingjian was not willing to budge and insisted on moving the camps of all the troops to Gaogang, so they had to carry out the military order unwillingly.

After the matter was over, they would definitely submit a petition jointly to impeach Pei Xingjian and ask the emperor to remove him.

He really thought that he could do whatever he wanted because he was valued by the emperor, and he didn't take them seriously.

After Li Siwen and others went back, they ordered the soldiers to move the camp to Gaogang, and many soldiers were dissatisfied with this.

"This Pei Xingjian is too self-righteous. Who does he think he is? He is just a dog beside the emperor. If the emperor hadn't asked him to be the general manager, who would he be?" Looking at the soldiers who were moving, the general said dissatisfiedly.

"Alright! Speak less. It's not just you and me who are dissatisfied with our general manager. The soldiers also have many complaints about Pei Xingjian. When Pei Xingjian arouses the resentment of the soldiers, can the soldiers let him go?" "

By then, there is a possibility of a rebellion. Then we will report him. No matter how much the emperor favors Pei Xingjian, he will have to be punished." The other general said. "

Alright, everyone, speak less and quickly complete the relocation of the camp. Everyone is tired. Go to bed early. If you have any questions, go to Pei Xingjian tomorrow to argue. He must give us an explanation." Li Siwen said.

At night, the Tang army began to fall asleep. Just when everyone was drowsy, suddenly, a strong wind blew.

All the soldiers were awakened by the howling wind outside. Before they could figure out why the wind suddenly blew, heavy rain began to fall again.

The strong wind and heavy rain raged all night. In the morning, the outside of the camp was in a

mess. Li Siwen and others received reports from their personal soldiers that the previous camp was flooded.

"What? Are you telling the truth?" Li Siwen said in disbelief.

"Yes! I saw it with my own eyes. The previous camp has been flooded by the flood. The water is more than ten feet deep." The personal soldier said.

Li Siwen was shocked. If they hadn't listened to Pei Xingjian yesterday, they would have been drowned long ago.

But how did Pei Xingjian know that there would be a storm last night?

"Quick! Put on your armor!" Li Siwen hurriedly put on his shoes, asked his personal soldiers to bring him armor to put on, and immediately went out to check.

It was just as the personal soldiers said. The previous campsite had been flooded. If they had camped there yesterday, they would have been dead. Everyone was impressed by Pei Xingjian.

Li Siwen turned around and went to Pei Xingjian's camp. He wanted to know how Pei Xingjian knew it in advance.

"General Manager, how did you know that there would be a storm last night and ordered us to move camp?" Li Siwen asked as the generals gathered in Pei Xingjian's camp.

Pei Xingjian smiled and said, "The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed! From now on, you only need to obey my orders, and don't ask so many reasons."

Everyone looked at each other, but thinking about what happened yesterday, they had to admire Pei Xingjian's foresight. Although they had doubts in their hearts, they did not dare to ask more.

"I understand! From now on, I am willing to obey the orders of the general manager." Li Siwen said with a fist.

"I am willing to obey the orders of the general manager." Li Siwen, the troublemaker, has expressed his position, and the others followed suit.
