Less than a quarter of an hour later, Liu Yu stood on the stage. More than a thousand of Liu Gai's former troops lined up under the stage. They had no weapons in their hands and stood with bare hands. Several military academies stood in front of their respective teams, many of them.
There were tears in people's eyes. After all, the general who had led them for many years died like this, which was hard to accept. But more people were silent, with a hint of fear flashing in their eyes from time to time. After all,
Nowadays, everyone is a swordsman, and I am a fish. The Beifu Army has always hated traitors the most. No one knows whether they can leave alive today.
Liu Yu looked at the silent people in the audience and smiled slightly: "Brothers from Beiqingzhou, if I remember correctly, Liu's subordinate is the Congting Army of our Beifu Army, because he was born in Congtingli, Pengcheng.
And most of the old troops recruited are from the Pengcheng area. Commander Tang, you are from Niukou Village in Congtingli. You are the soldiers Liu Gai brought when he recruited troops. I remember correctly."
Standing at the front was a military officer in his thirties, with a dark face and a beard. It was Tang Yi, Liu Gai's military commander. He opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Liu Zhenjun, you, you still remember me, a nobody."
Liu Yu laughed and said, "You are not a nobody. We joined the army in the same year and fought together on the battlefield. Although we are not in the same army, your reputation as a brave Tang Lang is well known to the whole army. During the Battle of Feishui, you were in the Congting Army.
Li was the deputy of the building. He was the first to cross the Feishui River in the right army and won the first victory. In this battle, he was hit by six arrows and injured in eight places. He still shouted and refused to retreat. After the war, in terms of merits, he was regarded as the right army soldier.
First, I remember clearly the scene when we stood side by side on the ceremonial platform and received the salute from all the soldiers in the army."
A trace of excitement flashed in Tang Yi's eyes, and then he lowered his head: "It all happened many years ago. Not to mention the bravery of the good man in the past, Liu Zhenjun, today you are already the general in charge of the Jin Dynasty and the governor of the eight states, and I
, I’m just a little military leader, it’s really a great honor for you to remember me.”
Liu Yu said loudly: "I remember you, not because of your military rank, but because we have all made contributions and shed blood for the Jin Dynasty. You deserve these, just like the Jin Dynasty will not forget me.
I will also never forget you Tang Yi, nor will I forget the sacrifices and contributions of all Cong Ting Army officers and soldiers who have defended the country's borders over the years."
"Although Liu Gai betrayed and surrendered to the enemy, I will never forget the contributions he made for the Jin Dynasty and the Beifu Army. Today he is so obsessed that he has lost his duty as a soldier, but based on his previous contributions, I
The general will still be buried with military honors, retaining his honor as a veteran general, and his family will also receive the pension they received when he died in office. I hope that today’s events will not be spread by any of the soldiers present."
Tang Yi opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Liu Zhenjun, you, are you going to forgive my general?"
Liu Yu sighed: "No one is a sage, and no one can do anything wrong. Liu Gai had meritorious service in the Northern Expedition and guarded the border for many years. However, he also became disloyal and lost his duty as a loyal soldier. It is a pity that he died because of this.
Behind Huan Xuan's usurpation of the throne, there is an evil dark organization behind these killers. They have evil intentions and deliberately let our Beifu soldiers kill each other, just like letting the champion general Sun Wuzhong lead troops to encircle and suppress Marshal Liu's son.
, your brother Xile, they just want our brothers in the Beifu Army to form a blood feud and fight to the death, so that they can disintegrate our powerful Beifu Army. You know, we can defeat even a million Qin prisoners, if not
If we fight among ourselves, no army in this world can defeat us!"
Tang Yi and other soldiers were very excited when they heard this. When they heard this, they all raised their arms and shouted: "We are all brothers in Beifu, and the Beifu army will not attack Beifu!"
Liu Yu nodded and said sternly: "So, today's incident should not be spread to the outside world. Liu should have been controlled and coerced by this dark organization, so he did such a grudge against each other. To the outside world, all of us
Everyone has to agree on the same story. Just say that General Liu was attacked by Xianbei assassins on his way back to Pengcheng for a military meeting and died. Three days later, I will preside over General Liu's funeral in Pengcheng. I will still be the governor of Qingzhou in the north, General Ningyuan.
Buried as the commander-in-chief of the Tang Army, you have always been Liu Gai's right-hand man and the most senior among the Congting Army. Now, as the commander-in-chief of the military forces in the eight states, I order you to temporarily take over Liu Gai's post within one day.
, arrange the weapons, food and fodder, and prepare for battle."
Tang Yi and his subordinates all shook their heads in disbelief. Tang Yi gritted his teeth and said: "Liu Zhenjun, no matter whether we were deceived by the general or not, we are firing our bows and arrows at you today. It is already the march of the rebels."
, all should be executed according to military law. If you don’t hold us accountable, we are already grateful, but you still allow us to retain our establishment, and let me, a sinner, continue to command the army. I am afraid it is absolutely inappropriate. Please disband our army.
Or we can send another general to take command. Only in this way can the military law be corrected and the morale of the army be reassured."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "I said that today's events will not be spread to the outside world. As long as everyone keeps your mouth shut, you are not rebels. We are all soldiers. Soldiers must obey the military orders of their superiors. Liu Gai just lied.
You call me a traitor, but you fired arrows at me based on your trust in this twenty-year-old superior, an old officer. This is not an act of rebellion."
"The truth is now revealed. It was Liu Gai who betrayed the country, not me. The reason why I did not spread the word is not because I miss old friendship, but because the Nanyan army is about to invade the south. The enemy is in front of us. We must not mess up our position. If
At this time, I will lead you in the future, and the soldiers will not be familiar with each other, which will only affect the battle."
"You are all from Pengcheng. Huaibei is your hometown. Over the years, you must have seen too many northern people who have fled south. If Nan Yan succeeds and takes over your hometown, you will also follow those Han people who fled south.
Just like the refugees, it is difficult to return to their homes, and they cannot even keep the tombs of their ancestors. This battle is not only to serve the country, but also to protect the hometowns of all the kings. I hope you understand!"
Without saying a word, Tang Yi turned around and loudly said to his subordinates: "Liu Zhenjun's words couldn't be more clear. This battle is not only about protecting the country and our family, but also about using practical actions to avenge what happened today."
, General Liu mistakenly believed in a traitor and harmed others and himself. If we want to avenge him, we must kill more barbarians to protect our hometown. If there are those who are too scared to fight, they can leave the army now and follow me in the future.
Tang Yien has broken off our love and will never recognize each other again!"
All the sergeants shouted in unison: "We are willing to serve Liu Zhenjun, protect our home and country, and fight to the death with the barbarians!"
Liu Yu nodded with satisfaction: "Three days later, in Congting, west of Pengcheng, I and the other troops will bury Liu Gai, and then swear an oath to march north!"
