Liupan Mountain, Lingjun camp.
Viewed from a high altitude, the camp is grand and intricate, taking advantage of the terrain and making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Outside the camp, there were soldiers with halberds patrolling back and forth. On both sides of the camp, there were archery towers and watchtowers, which were heavily guarded.
In the main camp of the Chinese army, a Lingguo civil servant held the imperial edict in his hand and walked straight to the commander's position. Then he turned around, glanced below, and said concisely: "Generals, accept the edict."
People knelt down one after another, and the civil servants also unfolded the edict and read seriously:
"Your Majesty's Holy Order."
"Today, the thieves are surging and Caizhou is in danger. When the country is in danger, the generals have no plan and are ready to fill their positions. Only General Wei Guang has a long-term vision and is willing to move. He plans to return to the city to make a good plan and eliminate it. Trouble with thieves..."
This is to invite him to go back to discuss the war.
After reciting the imperial edict, all the generals looked at each other subconsciously, then kowtowed and shouted: "I obey the edict——"
The civil servant closed the edict and handed it to Wei Guang. At the same time, he also said: "Your Majesty is very worried. Please ask Commander Wei to return to the city quickly to make suggestions."
"I obey the order and will set off immediately after handing over some military affairs." Wei Guangdao.
"Ah, that's good." The civil servant responded, and then said: "In addition, Your Majesty also has an explanation. In order to prevent the Qin army from attacking, after Wei Shuai left, there was no one to take charge of Liupanshan. He ordered deputy general Tong Xing to temporarily take over the command. , wait for Commander Wei to return, and then resume commanding the troops."
"I understand." No matter what Wei Guang thought, in the face of the imperial edict, when King Ling asked him to go back to discuss the army, he had to obey.
After finishing this, the civil servant left directly, while Wei Guang took the edict, read it carefully again, and fell into deep thought.
The generals were still in their tents, so they were not surprised by this imperial edict. They were going back to discuss the war.
Lieutenant General Tong Xing said: "Commander Wei, there are many outbreaks of war in Liupan Mountain. After you leave, Sun Qi will come to attack fiercely. How should we deal with it then?"
"Well..." Wei Guang came to his senses, put away the edict, walked back and forth for a few steps above, and said after thinking: "In this way, if Sun rises to attack, you can lead the troops to fight and deceive him in the lower valley. If they are defeated, lead the Qin army to the vicinity of Boshan and take advantage of the opportunity to destroy them. Of course, if Sun Qi is not fooled, you can just dig deep ditches and high bases and stick to the defense line."
"General, I understand. Please rest assured, Commander Wei. Liupan Mountain will not be compromised. We are waiting for Commander Wei to return." Tong Xing said immediately.
"Yes." Wei Guang nodded and glanced at the other generals, "The fortifications and defenses in Liupan Mountain have been perfected for a long time, and there is nothing wrong with the military defense lines. Do not change the deployment easily. All generals should perform their duties. Do your duty faithfully to resist the Qin thieves."
"Please rest assured, Commander Wei!" All the generals clasped their fists together.
"Okay, I won't be back in the city for too long this time. Remember that Sun Qi is difficult to deal with, so don't fall into the trap of a long battle."
Wei Guang explained a lot before leaving. By the time he packed up everything and rode back to Caizhou, it was already the afternoon of that day.
It was said that it was a military meeting. I thought that the generals of Caizhou had already gathered in the hall, but when they arrived at the main city, it was King Ling's guards who came to report and asked him to go to the study.
After learning this information, Wei Guang couldn't help but feel moved. After hesitation, he had no choice but to go along.
In the study, there was only King Ling, who was looking at the military map on the wall with his hands behind his back.
This picture is larger, with clear mountains, rivers, and even important roads, many with military markings. His eyes are not on Caizhou, but on Ruizhou behind.
Not long after, the guard came to report: "Your Majesty, General Wei Guang has arrived and is waiting outside the door."
"invite him
come in. "The Spirit King didn't even look back.
"yes."
The guards retreated and Wei Guang entered. After entering, he respectfully stepped forward, knelt down and saluted: "Your Majesty, Wei Guang, long live my emperor."
The Spirit King turned around, walked towards the desk and sat down, and said casually: "Get on your feet."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Wei Guang stood up, first glanced at the Spirit King's face, then bowed his head and stood below without speaking, waiting for questions.
King Ling took a look at him. Wei Guang, who was in his forties, had not changed much. He had a short beard and thick eyebrows, and a resolute appearance. His ancestor was a general of the Ling Kingdom. His family had been serving as servants for generations. He started as an officer and served successively as General Zhonglang, General Youping, General Xiaoqi, General of Huaizhou Army, General Zhengdong, and Commander-in-Chief of many battles.
It stands to reason that such a person, who has outstanding military exploits and is a general, cannot have any rebellious intentions.
The Spirit King's basic trust in him is absolutely there.
But Murong Yan's incident greatly affected these.
In terms of family background, Murong Yan is no worse than Wei Guang. He still defected to Qin and became a Marquis of Guiyi.
Thinking of this, King Ling couldn't help but take a deep breath and decided to get straight to the point: "General Wei, I am calling you back to the city this time, firstly to discuss military and state affairs, and secondly because I have something unclear and I would like to ask the general to clarify my confusion."
"Dare you ask the Holy One to give me instructions?" Wei Guang said respectfully.
"I ask you, has Murong Yan been to the military camp?" King Ling asked directly. He has been in the upper position for a long time and has ruled the Ling Kingdom for many years. His prestige in front of his ministers is unquestionable.
Regardless of whether Wei Guang was a general or a commander-in-chief, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva and said cautiously: "It's true... I have been there."...
"Then what did he do?" King Ling asked again.
Wei Guang had no choice but to reply truthfully: "I dare not deceive Your Majesty. Murong Yan was the great emperor. He tried his best to persuade Wei Chen to defect to Qin."
Although he had guessed this, the Spirit King couldn't help but feel nervous. He subconsciously pointed his finger and asked, "How is the funeral?"
"Your Majesty, why do you ask this?" Wei Guangda said anxiously: "I have received the emperor's favor in this life, and my loyalty can be reflected in the sun and the moon. How can I betray my country and seek glory! And if I have other intentions, how can I return to Caizhou safely? , meet His Majesty. The Holy Spirit has given you a clear warning..."
Wei Guang was very excited when he said this. In fact, King Ling was already very relieved that he could return to Caizhou alone, because this was originally a test.
After hearing his confession of loyalty, King Ling did not decide immediately, but asked again: "In that case, I would like to ask the general, don't you know that Murong Yan ruined his army of 400,000 and took refuge in the enemy country, which is extremely hateful! How dare you use your lips and tongue? If he disturbs the morale of the army, why not take him down, behead him, and tell the whole army! Why let him leave safely! Or do you think of your old friendship!"
"This, this." Wei Guang said anxiously: "Your Majesty clearly knows that Murong Yan was an envoy of Qin at that time and represented the King of Qin. When the two countries were at war, I did not kill the envoy. I had no choice but to consider the great spirit. In order to prevent your majesty from being criticized by others and making the world look down upon you."
"Okay!" Although King Ling couldn't refute his words, he was obviously still angry. After calming down for a while, he said: "Now that you have returned to Caizhou, don't rush to Liupan Mountain. There will be a meeting in the hall tomorrow at midnight. Soldiers, discuss the current strategy."
"Yes, I obey." Wei Guang saluted respectfully.
King Ling was not a very suspicious person and dared to let Wei Guang come back and leave Tong Xing to face Sun Qi. In fact, he already wanted to give in to Caizhou.
