ps: Thanks to brother Qingfu for the reward, thanks to Yijiang Chunshui, it’s such a big dish, Dahui Dahaha, Qi Zhen, Santai Zhenren and other brothers for their monthly tickets. I have been busy with many things recently, in addition to getting married, there are also major events such as job transfers.
Therefore, the update is slow, and I can only keep apologizing and sorry. I am very embarrassed and apologize again.
Liu Rengong's mind had always been on how to persuade his son, so he didn't really take it to heart after meeting Liu Gou, the manager of the back house. Liu Gou was in charge of the back house, visiting his son on behalf of his wife Qi, or reading family letters in the middle.
It was a normal thing, so he just asked casually: "Why are you here?"
If Liu Dashuai's war was going well, then he would not be as irritable as he is now. If he was not worried at the moment, then his brows would not be furrowed all the time. If there were not the above two ifs, then his casual questions would not be filled with so much anxiety.
And even so, if Liu Gou himself didn't have a guilty conscience, or if he could be calmer and make up an excuse casually, Liu Rengong would definitely not care, and there would be no further questioning.
Liu Gou was lying on the ground, trembling all over, bursts of cold sweat broke out continuously, and his whole forehead was covered with sweat drops. He had been trying desperately to calm himself down, but his whole brain was completely out of his control, and he was full of sweat.
In fear, I just kept thinking about one thing: How could the commander come here so suddenly? Has the commander already noticed it?
Liu Gou's abnormal appearance is definitely problematic in the eyes of anyone. Liu Rengong is not a fool, and of course he can see it. But even if he could see that the steward had a strange appearance, he didn't think much about it, and just shouted impatiently:
"speak!"
This sentence sounded vaguely like a verdict to the guilty Liu Gou. So Liu Gou, whose psychological quality was obviously not up to par, immediately went to pieces. He said with a cry: "Master, it's none of my business, I'm just sending you a message."
I came here with a letter from home, but I don’t know anything.”
This kind of self-defeating rhetoric finally aroused Liu Rengong's vigilance. He asked a few questions with a puzzled face, and then snatched the "letter from home" from Liu Gou's sleeve. He opened the paint and scanned the first page.
Liu Rengong's face changed at the first glance. After reading it, his face was completely pale.
Scenes of the most beloved concubine Luo Shi twisting and flattering her own son's crotch were automatically completed in Liu Rengong's mind. Grief and humiliation filled his chest in an instant. Liu Rengong's eyesight went dark and he barely managed to fall to the ground.
"Rebellious son! Beast! Heinous little thief!" Liu Rengong roared in the tent. If this rebellious son appeared in front of him at this moment, he would not hesitate to draw his sword and kill him. Even a thousand cuts would not be enough to relieve the hatred in his heart.
!
Liu Gou walked a few steps on his knees. He moved to Liu Rengong's feet, kept his ankle and begged for mercy: "Master, please forgive me, please calm down...please spare your life, please calm down..."
Liu Rengong kicked Liu Gou to the ground in a cowardly manner, stepped forward, grabbed him by the collar of his clothes and said fiercely: "When did it start? Tell me! If you can't tell me, I'll throw you into the frying pan!"
Liu Gou's liver and gallbladder were split apart. He told everything.
During the process of Liu Gou's narration, Liu Rengong gradually calmed down. The evidence was there and the facts were established. Liu Gou's subsequent confession and identification no longer seemed so important. He began to think carefully about how to deal with this matter.
His first thought was to wait in the tent and kill the traitor as soon as he came back. This thought was so uncontrollable that he didn't even want to wait. He wanted to immediately order the sergeant to call the beast back.
But as soon as the idea came to mind, Liu Rengong realized that he couldn't make such a mistake. He was a veteran and had been in the Lulong Army for decades.
Guerrilla, and finally ascended to the throne of Jiedu. He has seen too many changes in the military and witnessed countless overlapping of powers. He deeply understands what is the best way to deal with it and how to keep the army stable.
Ever since the defeat of Laoyadi, Liu Rengong felt that his control and influence over the Yi'er Army, Badu Cavalry and other armies were somewhat insufficient, so he was subconsciously afraid of his son. If he was rough in
He had no way of predicting what would happen if the general was killed in the Yierjun camp.
After successfully killing the traitor, will the sergeants be convinced? On the occasion of a war, will killing the commander-in-chief of an army shake the morale of the army?
If the traitor is not killed, the traitor will definitely rebound strongly, so will he be in danger instead?
Thinking of this, Liu Rengong immediately felt a little palpitated. He looked at Liu Gou who was still lying on the ground and begging for mercy with a sullen face. He suddenly softened his tone and said: "Get up. It's not entirely your fault. The young master has ordered you to do it."
Have to follow.”
As soon as Liu Gou said these words, they hit the butler's chest like the sound of nature. He choked and said: "Master, there are a lot of..."
Liu Rengong continued to soften his words: "The so-called inability to control yourself, I understand your difficulties. It's just a family scandal and cannot be made public. Who knows about this?"
Liu Gou suddenly had a chance to survive. He didn't care about anything and said hurriedly: "What I said is that no one knows about this matter. Don't worry."
"You just said that you have just arrived? Does anyone in this military camp know about your arrival?"
"A certain person is acquainted with General Zhang. He is the only one who knows the news of A certain person's arrival. It was he who arranged for A certain person to wait here... The sergeant on duty outside the account is also one of his."
"Although the fault is not yours, you have done something wrong. If you want to survive, you must obey the orders of a certain family and don't talk nonsense. Otherwise, you will be killed in the army. Do you understand?"
"Don't worry, sir, you won't tell nonsense."
Liu Rengong called the four personal guards who came with him to the tent and ordered them to summon Zhang Dutou, the horizontal squad of the Yier Army. Zhang Dutou was in charge of the horizontal squad and had already received reports from his subordinates and knew that the commander was coming.
, at this moment, they were on patrol outside the tent waiting. All the generals in the Yier Army followed Liu Shouguang to visit the Badu Cavalry Army Zhenre Envoy Zhao Ba and other Badu Cavalry generals. At this moment, the leader of the army was Zhang Dutou of the Hengban.
Although I knew Liu Gou, the steward of the Liu family's house, I didn't know the details, so I didn't think about it at all. After hearing that the commander-in-chief summoned him, he immediately picked up the curtain and entered the account. He bowed and said: "The commander-in-chief summoned me to come. I don't know.
What's the matter?"
Liu Rengong asked: "How can Shouguang return?"
"But I don't know that all the generals followed Ya Nei to the Badu Cavalry Camp. If the commander calls me, I will immediately send someone to call Ya Nei back."
When he heard this sentence, if Liu Rengong would have dismissed it a moment ago, then now he was even more suspicious.
"That's not necessary. Just leave a message and report to the Chinese Army as soon as Shouguang comes back. We have important military discussions. I won't wait here anymore. You can take the guards in front of the tent to escort me back."
Zhang Dutou did not doubt that something was wrong. After leaving a verbal message, he personally ordered more than a dozen personal guards on duty in front of the tent and escorted Liu Rengong and others back to the Chinese army camp three miles away. Liu Gou was again covered with headgear and was
Four of Liu Rengong's close associates closely followed him.
It was not far away for more than three miles. Liu Rengong was the first to hit the horse and gallop. In a moment, he entered the camp gate. He jumped off the horse and strode inward. His bodyguards had already taken the reins and whips and led the horse away. Four personal guards
Wei also took Liu Gou and left closely behind.
Zhang Du, who was guarding a horizontal squad of more than ten nominal soldiers, was left in the camp gate by Liu Rengong. He could neither advance nor retreat. Zhang Du turned his head to the officer guarding the camp gate and said: "Brother, the commander was walking in a hurry and didn't give any warning.
I am going to wait for you. I would like to ask you to let me know if I can return to the base camp."
The officer on duty nodded, found a sergeant and went inside. After a while, the sergeant returned, followed closely by dozens of big men wearing helmets and armor, holding swords and ropes.
Zhang Dutou hadn't noticed anything strange yet. He just handed over his hand and was about to ask a question. The sergeant pointed at the dozen of them and turned his head behind him and said, "That's them."
A general behind the sergeant shouted: "Take it!" Dozens of people swarmed forward, threw Zhang Dutou and other volunteers across the ranks and threw all the guards to the ground, and tied them up one after another.
Zhang Du was shocked and shouted: "What kind of crime is this?"
The general said loudly: "The commander-in-chief has ordered that if you break into the central army without permission and have evil intentions, you will be beheaded immediately!"
It is a pity that Zhang Dutou and more than ten guards of the Yier Army suffered inexplicably. Before they could figure out what happened, they were all beheaded.
Liu Rengong sat behind the handsome case, dripping with cold sweat, and felt that his legs were a little weak. He gradually recovered after the commander of the Yameni Pro-Army Army sent more than a dozen heads of the Yier Army Hengban Guards for examination.
Liu Gou saw the heads of Zhang Dutou and others at the side. He couldn't help but feel miserable. He sighed in his heart and finally realized that his master could not spare him. His whole body was shaking like chaff.
Sure enough, Liu Rengong pointed at Liu Gou and said: "Drag him out and chop him." Like wolves and tigers, several personal guards dragged Liu Gou out of the tent, who had already collapsed on the ground. This man was arrogant in Youzhou City.
The chief steward of the back house who had been serving for several years did not even have the strength to beg for mercy, so he was beheaded in front of the tent.
"It is sent to Si Quanshuang and Yang Shigui to come to the Central Army to discuss matters without delay!"
"It is reported to Zhou Zhiyu that all the sergeants of the Houjun Liangtai Camp will move closer to the Chinese Army Camp and set up camp two miles away to the north of the Chinese Army Camp! They must arrive within two hours."
"It is said that Liu Shouwen will command the Yichang Army, and Li Cheng will command the Yanchi soldiers who will move from Fanyang to the town. They will rush to Da'an Mountain at 9 o'clock tomorrow to join the camp with the Chinese army. They will be lightly armed and simple. They will not bring any food, pay, chariots or tents. If there is a delay, military law will serve!
"
…
Military orders one after another came out from the Chinese army camp at the foot of Da'an Mountain, and were sent to the left and right military camps of the Yameni Army, to the Liangtai Camp on the east side of Da'an Mountain, and to Fanyang City fifteen miles west of Da'an Mountain.
The Fanyang-Daanshan defense line that Lu Longjun worked hard to build is mainly divided into two levels. Fanyang is the main one on the outside, and Daanshan is the main one on the inside. The two places are about fifteen miles apart, which can provide support for internal and external reinforcements. Because Laoyadi was newly defeated
The soldiers of the original Hebei camp suffered heavy losses and were generally afraid of war, so they used the newly transferred Shanbei camp's Shanhou disciples commanded by the Gao brothers, the Yanchi soldiers commanded by Li Chengyue, and the Yinhulu commanded by Wang Sitong to defend the outside.
Liu Shouwen, the envoy of Yichang Jiedu, was in charge, and the commander-in-chief's Yameni army, Yi'er army, Badu cavalry, Jizhou soldiers and others were stationed inside to replenish and recover at the same time.
This arrangement effectively blocked the invasion of Yiwu, Chengde, Wei Bo and other armies, but it also left Liu Rengong with no troops available at this moment, because except for the Yameni army and the Liangtai rear army, Liu Rengong suddenly discovered that if something happened, he would
They are not sure to control the Yier Army, Badu Cavalry, and Jizhou Soldiers. The situation is so dangerous!
