Chapter 336 Sun Li choked!
Xiao Lang gathered ideas and summoned his generals to discuss the combat effectiveness of the four towns in northern Jiangnan.

Unexpectedly, when he asked Hu Chen about it, he started to talk nonsense, which made Pei Zhong very dissatisfied.

Sun Peizhong pointed out that it was ridiculous, but Hu Chen also made excuses, so the two of them started arguing again because of this matter!

"Humph! Li Huchen, please stop now!"

"What old hero? I'm asking you to praise me to bits!"

"In my opinion, you two are just a pair of drunkards who have fallen in love with each other!"

"Yes, Governor, his advice doesn't count!"

"Don't listen to him!"

Peizhong frowned and was very angry. He was cautious by nature and was strict in military discipline. Normally, he could not stand the behavior of reckless and drunkards like Huchen.

"Hey!"

"I'm talking to you, Peizhong! How can you talk like that?!"

"Give me back the wine. What's wrong with you, drunkard?!"

"It's nice to have a couple of sips, but you're already drunk?!"

"I haven't delayed any serious work!"

"The governor didn't complain, but you're always choking me. How could I have provoked you? Huh?!"

Hu Chen would not let him off and started to curse him.

At this moment, those sitting nearby also tried to persuade them to reconcile. Next to Hu Chen, it was Gong Yonggu who was forcing Hu Chen to behave, while on Pei Zhong's side, Li Hongsheng was trying to mediate.

They were all glaring at each other and making a fuss!
"That's what it is!"

"What's wrong with drinking?!"

"If we can fight, then it's over!"

"Whether it's a mule or a horse, we'll see the truth on the battlefield!"

"What the commander-in-chief just asked was also about the combat effectiveness of the various units of the Jiangbei Army!"

"I saw it with my own eyes, so why does it not count?!" Hu Chen still refused to accept it.

"Oh, oh, oh, I'm too lazy to talk to you!"

"Even if Huang Degong is skilled in archery and horse riding, that is only his martial arts!"

"What does it matter if there are tens of thousands of soldiers in the same town?!"

"You are just being reckless!" Sun Peizhong refuted again.

"Who is messing around?!"

"If a soldier is incompetent, the whole army will be incompetent!"

"If the commander is good at fighting, the soldiers under him can't be any worse than him!"

"What's the matter? Sun Peizhong, you have been in the army for many years, and you don't understand these little things?!" Hu Chen argued.

Seeing that things were not going well, Xiao Jingchuan also became angry!

They start to argue when they disagree with each other. Although it does not reach the level of infighting, it is definitely not conducive to internal unity.

In the end, they could no longer tolerate each other, and suddenly something happened!
Just listen to a snap!
Slam it on the table!
"Alright! Shut up!"

"What's going on? One of you can't keep an eye on me, so you two are arguing again?!"

Xiao Lang slammed the table and stood up.

At the same time, when the generals heard and saw what happened, both sides of the conflict instantly stopped making any movement!
"No one can give me peace of mind!"

"Are you two still arguing?!"

"What's the point of just talking? Do you want me to help you flip the table over to make room for you two so you can do some hand gestures?!"

"Humph!"

"If you tell anyone, they are all generals with thousands of men under their command!"

"Why can't this mind and brain grow a little bit?!"

"You don't feel ashamed, but I feel ashamed!"

Xiao Jingchuan's words of mediation were quite harsh, and with just a few words he had completely intimidated Sun and Li, and neither of them dared to say another word!

After he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the front hall of the yamen suddenly dropped in temperature.

Awkwardly, the generals remained in a stalemate for a while.

Li Hongsheng was the one who knew how to behave. He forced himself to smile and timidly joined in the conversation.

"Uh, yes, yes!"

"Haha, we always have trouble talking to the point!"

"Um, the commander-in-chief!"

"If you have any ideas for deployment, just tell me directly!"

"We are used to Peizhong and Huchen quarreling with each other in private. No, it's okay!" "As long as there is a war, they will definitely be good at military strategy!"

"It's no big deal!"

"Don't worry, Commander!" Li Hongsheng softened his tone and gave Xiao Lang a way out!
Just accept it when you see it!

With these words as support, Xiao Jingchuan gradually stopped sighing and sat down again!

He took the tea bowl and drank up the tea in the cup with a gulp.

"Well, that's enough!"

"You two, please be more careful in the future!" Xiao Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

When the two servants, Sun and Li, heard this, they also nodded hurriedly in response.

Seeing that the occasion was free, Xiao Jingchuan breathed a sigh of relief and got back to the main topic.

"Well, let's continue chatting!"

"Just now, you all expressed your opinions!"

"As for me, I'll just say a few words!"

"Sun Peizhong, Lord Liu, the discussion you just made is pretty good!"

“A more reasonable view!”

"In my opinion, among the four towns in northern Jiangnan, the first one that is more capable and can be used in terms of combat power is Huang Degong's headquarters in Chuzhou!"

"As for the reason, you two have also stated it clearly, Peizhong and Li Hongsheng!"

"There is no other reason to say that if the army is disciplined and well-managed, it will be enough to show its combat effectiveness!"

Having said this, Xiao Lang glanced up and saw the generals nodding their heads. Seeing that they had a unified opinion, he continued with the next part of the conversation.

"Well, if you must choose another one."

"Haha, I think taking over this person might be a little different from what the generals think!"

"I feel that Gao Jie and Feng Yang's troops can be barely considered useful in combat!"

"this one"

"The military discipline of his subordinates is indeed the worst!"

"We have already experienced this before!"

"Moreover, each of your troops has also been mixed with soldiers from Gao Jie's Fengyang Division, so I think you will have a deeper understanding!"

"This group of people, because they have the habit of roaming around, are usually brave and violent."

"Plus, we have Gao Jie, a supervisor with a personality as fierce as fire and actions as fast as thunder!"

"What the superior does is what the inferior does. As a result, the inferior is too stubborn and feels that he is not well-received by others!"

"but!"

"After my repeated investigations over the past few days, I discovered that these soldiers are actually quite good in terms of their combat capabilities!"

"Moreover, these ruffians robbed civilians a lot in the past, so they are well-off and have an advantage in military supplies and weapons and equipment."

"Although it is an act that harms the people, it is ill-gotten gains!"

"But this equipment bonus should not be ignored!"

Xiao Jingchuan told the story slowly and explained a lot of things.

Hearing this pause, Peizhong thought for a moment and then added something.

"Yes, that's right, the Governor is right!"

"Let's not talk about other things, let's just take those Jiangbei surrendered soldiers assigned to my unit as an example!"

"Before, in their original unit, they said they were from the front camp of Li Chengdong's unit!"

"That guy, each of them has a three-barreled gun, and each of them is armor-piercing. Just poke it there, wow!"

"Look, he's more energetic than our old brothers!"

"Well, it's just that the shortcomings are also quite obvious and troublesome!"

"It's really hard to discipline her!"

"I think it will take at least ten days to re-plan the Qinghe Campaign, right?!"

"I have put a lot of effort into managing this group of ruffians!" Peizhong added.

"hey-hey!"

"Yes, yes!"

"That's what Peizhong meant!"

"It's the same with those in my department!" Li Hongsheng followed up and made another review.
