Different from the lively and cheerful atmosphere in Xiangyang City, there is an atmosphere of tension floating inside the city tower and the Di Qin military camp.
When the sun was at its peak, everyone else had already started practicing, and General Fu Rui had just gotten up from the bed.
His stomach was churning and his head hurt, and Fu Rui didn't want to eat at all.
In a bad mood, he did not go to meet Murong Chui. Instead, he walked around the corridor several times and opened a small door.
"General Fu, why are you here!"
The angry and bored man lying on the bed obviously did not expect that anyone would come to see him at this time, and he did not even move when he heard the door knock.
I just sighed, bored!
so boring!
Give me soldiers and I can still fight!
Seeing that it was General Fu, the man sat up straight and almost jumped in front of Fu Rui without any connection.
"General Liang, I didn't expect you to still be able to sleep."
Fu Rui smelled of alcohol and slept until the sun shone on his buttocks. He actually dared to complain about others being too sleepy. Even so, Liang Cheng didn't dare to complain at all.
In his current state, he has no shame to blame others.
"General Fu, you don't send any soldiers to your subordinates. They are really bored. What can they do if they don't lie down?"
Liang Cheng's eyes were full of sorrow. Since the defeat of Jingling City, he had taken the remaining defeated soldiers all the way north and fled back to Xiangyang.
He knew very well that such an act of escaping would not receive any praise in the Diqin military camp, but would only receive countless looks.
However, Liang Cheng still didn't expect that he, a veteran who had served Di Qin for more than ten years and had great military exploits, would receive such treatment.
Fu Rui was not a magnanimous person. His mind was as small as the eye of a needle. When he saw Liang Cheng's embarrassment, he was not vague at all, so he poured cold water on him.
Not only did they not spare him, but they threw the veteran who had made great achievements into prison. Although he was not imprisoned for only a few days in the end, it still caused a huge psychological blow to Liang Cheng.
After Fu Rui arrived, Liang Cheng immediately became energetic.
how?
Are we finally going to return the military power to him?
"If I don't let you lead the troops, you won't care about anything?"
"General Liang, you have been one of His Majesty's most trusted generals for so many years. Are you just going to sit back and watch Murong Chui, a man from Xianbei, step on your head?" Fu Rui said slowly.
Liang Cheng Nuonuo, as one of the well-known generals of Di Qin, Liang Cheng was also very aware of the overt and covert struggles in the Di Qin court.
However, although he is a Di, he does not want to get involved in the struggle for power and profit.
His younger brother Liang Yun died tragically. What Liang Cheng hopes now is to lead the army as soon as possible and avenge his brother!
Fu Rui's words were obviously an encouragement to Liang Cheng.
He immediately became serious: "Of course not!"
He took a step forward, clasped his fists and said solemnly: "As long as the general is willing to give my subordinates a chance, I will fight to the death to serve!"
Fight to the death?
Fu Rui's expression was slightly stagnant. What silly things did this old man say?
He must be the one who ran all the way back from Jingling City!
At that time, he didn't even die in battle outside Jingling City. Now he is bragging about protecting Xiangyang City to the death. Who would believe it?
"General Liang, please sit down quickly!"
"Compared to Jingling, Xiangyang is still very stable. There shouldn't be that kind of life-and-death battle. Why should it be so serious?"
Fu Rui offered his seat to Liang Cheng and gave him a few words of encouragement. Liang Cheng suddenly burst into tears and was so moved.
"General!"
"The general values his subordinates so highly that they really don't know what to say!"
"I know that I failed to advance in Jingling this time and lost troops and generals. I was derelict in my duty. My younger brother, who was also a talented general, died tragically under Jingling City."
"As long as the general is willing to give him a chance, his subordinates will definitely go out to challenge the city and annihilate the shameless Jin army outside Xiangyang City!"
Thinking of his brother Liang Yun who died tragically in Jingling, Liang Cheng felt sad, and his eyes turned red for a moment. Liang Cheng hated the Jin army in his heart, and a ferocious expression appeared on his face.
He had long forgotten that Jingling was originally the territory of the Jin Dynasty and had nothing to do with him and the Qin Dynasty.
At this moment, he just wants to avenge his brother and kill all the Jin army commanders!
"Condolences to General Liang."
"You have served Great Qin for many years, and I have always trusted your ability." If he wants to win over people, Fu Rui will still do this superficial thing.
"General Fu, I promise that if the Jin army dares to invade Xiangyang, I will hang the head of the Jin army general on the city gate tower and display it to the public for three days!"
"If my subordinates can't do it, they will be relieved of their military duties and never lead troops again!" Liang Cheng gritted his teeth and swore.
Fu Rui frowned slightly, but did not respond.
As expected, he is still a coward, even swearing is harmless.
The imperial court did not press charges for escaping from Jingling. This was because the main force of Di Qin was now preparing for war, and it was the time to recruit people.
If Xiangyang was lost again, would Liang Cheng think he would have a chance to survive?
"I know General Liang's determination very well. You must work hard for the sake of the Di people. Do you think that the defense of Xiangyang depends entirely on those Xianbei generals?"
"You know, the reason why Xiangyang City is still peaceful now is because the Jin army general Huan Chong is afraid of Murong Chui's reputation."
"I have fought against Huan Chong of the Jin Army in the past. Although he is not brave enough, he is not a timid person. Such a person will turn around and run away when he hears Murong Chui's name."
"General Liang, doesn't he feel uncomfortable when he hears such a thing?"
In order to stimulate Liang Cheng's fighting spirit, Fu Rui administered another strong dose of medicine.
Fu Rui is not good at fighting, but he is still good at sowing dissension.
Even if you, Murong Chui, are brave and good at fighting, you are still my servant's slave. This is Fu Rui's position towards Murong Chui.
So what if a war is imminent?
Fu Rui saw clearly that although Murong Chui was good at fighting, he was not trustworthy. In comparison, although Liang Cheng was not as wise and brave, he was still one of his own.
The battlefield is changing rapidly, and sometimes a small mistake can cause a major reversal of the battle situation.
Fu Rui was always worried about the generals of the Murong clan.
On the battlefield, if they turned against each other, wouldn't it put the Qin army in danger?
Liang Cheng never hesitated to eradicate the power of the Murong clan, and immediately said: "General Fu, don't worry, as long as I am here, he, Murong Chui, will not even think about doing anything!"
Fu Rui nodded: "What I want is your words."
"General Liang, the soldiers who followed you back to Xiangyang City have finished resting. I will give you another hundred pieces of armor. From today on, you will continue to lead them."
Liang Cheng's eyes shone and he stared at Fu Rui happily.
Sure enough, General Fu still has me in his heart!
In this way, General Liang Cheng, who was defeated and fled back to Xiangyang City in embarrassment, not only received no punishment, but also received a special reward from Fu Rui.
