After talking with Jia Lu, Dong Tuanxiao did not go directly to the rear camp. He returned to his right camp first, sat there for half an hour, then changed his clothes and came to the rear camp.

When walking in the rear army camp, his brows never relaxed.

Xuexue and Hama are both jesters, and he knows this very well. He doesn't expect Xuexue's rear army to have much fighting strength.

However, let alone combat power at the moment, this military camp has simply become a vegetable market.

When we passed through the camp gate just now, there were many soldiers returning from abroad. One of them, a tall and thin old man with gray hair, was even drunk.

Being able to manage the army like this, Dong Tuanxiao suddenly felt that it was not a wrong decision for Tuotuo to let Xuexue be the rear army coach.

Along the way, the camp layout was also haphazard. If someone attacked the camp, it would easily fall into chaos.

The only thing that stands out from the other four armies is the size of the commander's account.

Xuexue's handsome tent is a domed felt tent covering an area of ​​half an acre. Through the white tent, you can see the bright lights inside and hear the sound of singing and dancing of silk and bamboo.

After Dong Tuanxiao reported it, he waited outside for a while before being ushered into the tent.

As soon as I entered, I smelled the aroma of roasting lamb.

There is a fire in the center of the round tent, with a roasted whole lamb on it, and a group of women with bare breasts and arms are dancing around the fire.

Dong Tuanxiao bypassed the group of dancers and came to the other side of the round tent. He looked up and saw a fat Mongolian man with snow-white skin drinking with another Mongolian man with braided beard.

The fat man was none other than Xuexue. He also had a strong background as a Mongolian with a braided beard. He was Tai Buhua, the prime minister of Zuo of Henan Province, and currently served as the supervisor of the army.

Although Dong Tuanxiao was the deputy commander-in-chief of the Zuo Route Army, his official title was much lower than that of the two men, so he bowed and saluted: "Dong Tuanxiao pays homage to the envoy in charge and pays homage to the left prime minister."

Xuexue didn't pay much attention to Dong Tuanxiao, but Taibuhua once transferred Dong Tuanxiao to Henan and used his power to wipe out many rebels, so she was still polite.

"You're welcome, General Dong. Please sit down."

Dong Tuanxiao didn't sit down and said straight to the point: "I wonder if the envoy and the left prime minister know about Jia Lu?"

Taibuhua said blankly: "What's wrong with Jia Lu?"

Dong Tuanxiao said in a deep voice: "This afternoon, when the Pizhou City Guards were patrolling, they found a craftsman. However, they did not catch him, but they picked up a letter he left behind."

Taibuhua asked: "What letter?"

Dong Tuanxiao said: "This is a letter written by a rebel named Zhang Tianyou in Haozhou to Jia Lu!"

Tai Buhua changed his mind and said, "Jia Lu is secretly colluding with the Haozhou thieves?"

Dong Tuanxiao said in a deep voice: "The letter also said that thanks to Jia Lu telling them Yexian's plan, they were able to defeat Yexian's army. After Prime Minister Tuotuo got the letter, he immediately convicted Jia Lu!"

Hearing this, Xuexue finally interjected: "Jia Lu is convicted? What about that first?"

Dong Tuanxiao lowered his eyes and said: "The blame is all on Jia Lu, so let's be innocent first."

The fat on Xuexue's face trembled, and she sneered: "It's so easy to change things with one hand. Our prime minister really put a lot of thought into his stupid brother, and he was even willing to chop off his left and right arms!"

Dong Tuanxiao said slowly: "I feel that the Prime Minister did this not necessarily because of Ye Xian!"

Xuexue was stunned for a moment, her eyes flashed, and she said with a smile: "General Dong's words seem to have a deeper meaning!"

Dong Tuanxiao said nothing and looked at the dancers in the tent. Xuexue waved her hand, and the dancers retreated one after another.

Dong Tuanxiao then said: "The Prime Minister used such clumsy means to conceal his fault for Ye Xian. In fact, he was afraid of being held accountable. After all, he was the one who asked Ye Xian to replace Jia Lu first!"

Xuexue's eyes flashed and she was silent.

Dong Tuanxiao stared at Xuexue closely and said: "Commander, have you forgotten the Battle of Shahe? Our army must not repeat the same mistakes!"

Xuexue hummed: "Your Majesty has given the Prime Minister the right to kill first and report later, but there is nothing I can do about it!"

Dong Tuanxiao said: "We can keep quiet for now and secretly send people to collect Zhang Tianyou's handwriting. As long as we prove that the letter is fake, we can prove Jia Lu's innocence!"

Xuexue's heart skipped a beat. If Jia Lu was not guilty, he must be guilty first, and Tuo Tuo would not be able to escape his involvement.

As long as Tuotuo is dismissed from the position of commander-in-chief of the entire army, the person most likely to take this position is himself.

Thinking of this, the fat on Xuexue's face trembled again: "This plan is feasible, you immediately send someone to collect Zhang Tianyou's handwriting, Zuo Xiang and I will go to see the Prime Minister, and we will never let him deal with Jia Lu immediately!"

Dong Tuanxiao said hurriedly: "No, if you two go to plead for Jia Lu, the prime minister will definitely use the power of beheading first and reporting later and execute Jia Lu immediately!"

Xuexue frowned and said, "What should we do?"

Dong Tuanxiao said: "The reason why the prime minister did not execute Jia Lu immediately was because he was afraid that the matter would spread, affect the morale of the army, and then affect the battle of Yangzhou. As long as you two don't interfere, I believe he will not take action against Jia Lu for the time being!

”

Xuexue pondered for a while and said: "That makes sense. Let me leave this matter to you. Zuo Xiangjing and I are waiting for your good news!"

Dong Tuanxiao agreed and left.

At the same time, people in the Chinese army's tent also quickly came to Commander Tuotuo's tent, cupping their hands and saying: "Prime Minister, the people below just reported that Dong Tuanxiao went to see Jia Lu!"

Tuotuo raised his head and motioned for him to continue.

Yesu knew what Tuotuo wanted to hear, so he said: "After meeting Jia Lu, he did not behave abnormally and returned to his tent."

Tuotuo was silent for a while, then slowly said: "Dong Tuanxiao is a person who doesn't rub sand in his eyes. With his temperament, isn't it surprising that he didn't come to me immediately to argue?"

Yesu was stunned for a moment: "Indeed."

Tuotuo stood up, walked back and forth in the tent, waved his hand and said, "Send someone to the rear army camp immediately to check if Dong Tuanxiao has seen Xuexue!"

Yesu asked: "Should we also send someone to the former army camp?"

Tuo Tuo shook his hands and said: "No, the only one in the military camp who dares to go against me is Xuexue, and Dong Tuanxiao knows this!"

Yesu agreed and took the order.

Not long after, Yesu came back and said with a gloomy face: "Prime Minister, as expected, you guessed it. Dong Tuanxiao went to see Xuexue and Taibuhua!"

Tuotuo nodded, looking thoughtful.

Yesu said: "Xuexue and Taibuhua probably rejected Dong Tuanxiao, otherwise they would come to put pressure on you!"

Tuotuo shook his head and said: "You are wrong. If they really come to put pressure on me, they are just forcing me to kill Jia Lu immediately! Now that they are calm, it makes me uneasy!"

Yesu said: "Then kill Jia Lu and it will be over!"

Tuotuo looked at the jade pen in his hand, was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "Who do you think wrote that letter?"

Yesu was stunned for a moment and said: "The rebels should all be possible. The most likely ones are the Haozhou bandit soldiers, who hate Jia Lu the most!"

Tuotuo put down his pen and said leisurely: "Didn't Jiangdu Xizuo come to report a few days ago, saying that Haozhou also sent people to attend the wedding of Jiangdu thief Zhang Yangquan?"

Ye quickly moved his face and said: "You suspect that this matter is related to Jiangdu Army? But why do they want to deal with Jia Lu?"

Tuotuo said lightly: "The wife Zhang Yangquan married is the daughter of Qin Jianye who I have wanted for many years. Besides me, the person she hates the most is Jia Lu!"

"You mean, Qin Jianye's daughter instigated Zhang Yangquan to write such a letter?"

Tuotuo asked: "Isn't this possible?"

Yesu thought for a moment and said, "Then do we still want to kill Jia Lu?"

Tuotuo said no more, picked up the pen and wrote a letter, blew it dry, handed it to Yesu and said: "Before you do anything, show this letter to Jia Lu!"
