Zhu Kuangcong swallowed in disbelief, and then shook his head left and right to find a few soldiers. Sure enough, he was ordered to enter the tent, and he began to take off his armor with all his hands, struggling with all his strength and breathing heavily. Shouted loudly: "Commander!..."
Seeing this reckless man's face turning red and constantly resisting with brute strength, Li Yuan looked like he was watching a show and sneered: "Haha, why, don't you Zhu Kuangcong feel unconvinced? If you don't even want to carry the battle flag, , then forget it! It just so happens that I still need a food recorder beside me, so you can——"
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Kuangcong was like a deflated rubber ball, losing strength at every turn and looking frustrated. The soldiers caught him at this moment and quickly took off his armor, leaving only a middle coat that showed his strong body.
The tall man rolled his eyes several times, then as if he had changed his mind, he suddenly showed a very determined expression, cupped his hands and laughed loudly: "Farewell, Marshal! Carry the flag, just carry the flag. Forget it with a pen, it's better to carry the flag." !”
The sudden surrender made Li Yuan and most of the generals secretly hesitate. Then Li Yuan only waved his hand, and Zhu Kuang bowed and stood up, striding out of the tent. After a while, everyone only heard from a distance: "Commander." Let me hold the flag, why don’t you quickly get the battle flag..."
Li Yuan sighed helplessly, then turned his gaze to Liu Jiangsheng, who was still kneeling alone in front of him, and said in a low voice: "Liu Commander, although you have a sworn relationship with me, military law has limits and you must not show favoritism! The surrender last night The sudden change in the prisoner situation could endanger the overall situation if you are not careful, and you almost miss the important event of siege! As a general, you are really suspected of dereliction of duty!
From now on, I, the commander, will remove you from the post of Wuping military envoy, and keep you in the account for your use, so that you can make meritorious service in the future! "
Liu Jiangsheng was quite calm, with an unfazed look on his face. He only nodded lowly, then returned with his hands, "I will admit my guilt! Thank you so much, Marshal!" Then he stood up quickly and walked to the right as usual, but This time I stood at the end of the queue.
After dealing with the two generals, Li Yuan glanced around the tent and saw that almost all the generals looked relieved, and he couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he put on a serious face, tilted his head towards Peng Shiyu, who was sitting gloomily and silent on one side, and said naturally: "Peng Shiyu, you heard clearly what happened last night. Although these two generals acted recklessly, We obey the order, but our army is also forced to fight back. The conflict between the two parties will inevitably lead to casualties. It is really a helpless move! I have already removed these two men from their posts as a severe punishment. If Governor Peng has any suggestions, just say it's okay!"
Hearing this, Peng Shiyu frowned and thought for a while, as if he was hesitating about something. He wanted to speak several times but pursed his mouth again. Although the lips and teeth could not be closed clearly, he could hear a sharp "clucking" sound like gritting teeth. At that time, Li Yuan and the generals in the tent showed different expressions, but they all focused their attention on the expression of the young master of Xizhou, especially as they seemed to be waiting for his reaction.
After a while, Peng Shiyu seemed to have made up his mind. He raised his hands and said in a hoarse voice: "Commander, I know what happened last night. This treatment is fair and I have no objection! But the three people our army slaughtered last night Thousands of barbarian soldiers are almost all the young men of the Xiang clan. The Xiang clan has been equal to the annihilation of the clan. Since it has definitely declined, and the matter has come to this, I have something to say, and I ask the commander to make a decision!"
Li Yuan picked up the teacup in front of him with great interest, took a calm sip, and nodded as if intentionally or unintentionally: "The Xiang family belongs to the Dongxi tribe after all. As the lord of Xizhou, Peng Jishi can say it bluntly, I am the commander-in-chief." All ears!”
"Commander, Xiang Zongyan, the leader of the Xiang clan, and Xiang Ming, the guard general, are currently being held hostage in our military camp. In the morning, Xiang Zongyan asked me about the situation of the three thousand tribes. Maybe I still don't know what happened last night. At that time, I He didn't know the truth, so he didn't answer.
But paper can't stop the fire after all. Even if the Xiang clan is wiped out, after all, it was one of the five major clans in Dongxi, and Xiang Zongyan is the leader of the clan. Once he learns the details of last night, he will definitely fight with his life... "
One of the generals snorted disdainfully, and then joked: "Prince Peng is overly worried. This is the base of our Wuping Army. What's the use of fighting with one's life? Just two barbarians can defeat him." Isn’t it possible?”
Peng Shiyu's face suddenly darkened, and his sharp eyes quickly passed over the general's face. Finally, he tightened his gaze and turned to the table in front of him. He gritted his teeth and said coldly: "What I mean is that since the Xiang clan has been exterminated, Xiang Zongyan, the so-called leader, is not worthy of his name! If it is useless to keep him, then there is no need to keep him anymore! Commander, please immediately order the execution of Xiang Zongyan and Xiang Ming!"
Hearing these murderous words, Li Yuan was not surprised. He glanced at Peng Shiyu calmly and then sipped the tea in his cup.
Regarding Xiang Zongyan, Li Yuan's first reaction was to kill him with one blow. As Peng Shiyu said, paper cannot contain the fire, and Xiang Zongyan is not stupid. Just based on the bloody smell that spread all over the mountains and fields when he followed the army into the stronghold in the morning, he would be unable to hide it sooner or later even if he didn't ask questions.
What's more, at this point, this person has lost any use value. Neither he nor the remaining tribes behind him can be used by Peng Shiyu or Li Yuan anymore. The best choice is to send him to reunite with his tribe as soon as possible in order to avoid them. future trouble.
When will the injustice be repaid? The best way to solve this eternal problem is naturally to eradicate the root cause. Why should those who achieve great things ask for trouble by seeking fame and reputation?
Peng Shiyu's thoughts are naturally the same as Li Yuan's, but he cannot help but have his own calculations.
Naturally, his hatred for the Xiang family is not as unforgettable as that for the Tian family. He is called the Young Master of Xizhou. But in the end, Peng Shiyu has been a Han since his ancestors. In the eyes of the superiors, both the Xiang family and the Gong family are the same. As long as the barbarians can work together to support their rule, there is actually no difference between who is missing or who is gaining. As for Peng Shiyu's so-called promise to Xiang Zongyan yesterday, it goes without saying much about its meaning.
This time, they borrowed troops to attack Xizhou in order to regain their foundation and regain control of the three states. Although as long as Li Yuan's army breaks through Xizhou, the tribes will eventually have to surrender, but in order to ensure long-term peace and stability in the three states, people's hearts must first be stabilized, which is inevitable. Support from the Cave Creek tribes is still needed.
Therefore, it is particularly important to know who killed Xiang Zongyan, the leader of the five major clans who were famous in Dongxi in the past, or who ordered the killer. The best time is when the two armies are fighting... .
In less than a moment, Li Yuan nodded slightly, waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Then just kill him!"
But Peng Shiyu still seemed not satisfied. He stood up and raised his hands again: "Commander, please kill Xiang Zongyan and Xiang Ming now!"
Seeing Peng Shiyu's serious expression, Li Yuan pretended to be confused and asked, "Prince Peng, why are you so anxious?"
"Since these two people must die, it is better to let their deaths be more meaningful! Commander, our army's flags are flying everywhere in Huixi Village at this moment, and the enemy scouts may have discovered it! But the actual situation here, the enemy forces in the city are not known Xiao, I have always known Tian Hongyou to be a fierce and cowardly person, so I asked the commander to quickly kill Zongyan and his two men and hang their heads outside the stronghold..."
