"Sir, what you said is very true. How can I disobey military orders as a soldier? It's a blessing to be able to save my life. Now, why should I fear being framed in prison?"
After Xu Guanzhong finished speaking, Liu Fa sighed and finished. He also made up his mind and suddenly shouted loudly: "You don't need to say anything. I have served in the army for half my life, dedicated to serving the country, and working hard with the soldiers, and I am worthy of heaven and earth! That's it!
Commander Tong Xuan wants to take part in my book and the court will punish him. I would rather the court betray me, but I cannot betray the court!"
Zhai Jin became even more anxious when he heard this. He turned around and said to Liu Fa: "Liu Jinglue, is it possible that you really want to let Tong Guan's castrated dog knead and flatten him?"
"presumptuous!"
Liu Fa's eyes widened, and he shouted sternly: "According to the laws of our Song Dynasty army, after a general is ordered to do something special, he will be sent to the field to reward his troops. After completing the order, those who do not obey the order will be killed! Tong Xuanshuai is an official.
If you, the commander-in-chief of the army appointed by your family, resist the military order and curse your superiors, what kind of crime will you be guilty of!?"
Liu Fa, who was angry, had a majestic look on his brows. Zhai Xing, Zhai Jin, Wu Song and others did not expect Liu Fa to say such a thing. They were stunned on the battlefield for a while and just stared at Liu Fa.
Since it is a foregone conclusion that I will be framed, why should I bother my subordinates to be implicated again and be framed in vain by Tong Guan's hatred...
After Liu Fa thought about it in his mind, he turned to look at Xiao Tang and said: "Xiao Jieshuai, this Wang Zhizhai came here under orders, how can he disobey the commander's order? I will follow him to Xining Prefecture, Tong Xuan
At least there is an explanation from Shuai. Since I want to listen to the court's decision, it must be verified and reviewed by the Privy Council. Even if there is a traitor, I can't die in an unknown way... But Brother Cha must never be handed over to Tong Xuan.
In the hands of the commander, General Kang, the captured soldiers, and the lives of thousands of people still need to be exchanged for their lives. Commander Xiao Jie has been extremely kind to me, and Liu Mouming is deeply moved. Don't stop me now, and in the future
I'll leave it to you..."
Saving Liu Fa, resisting the Xia army, and capturing Brother Cha alive...these are all extraordinary events. The soldiers and civilians in the Bianting who moved south were all miscellaneous, so if one person spread the news, it would naturally spread to Tong Guan's ears.
After all, he still couldn't hold back the fire... Xiao Tang also knew very well that if he really wanted to fight with a powerful traitor like Tong Guan, he must not let anything fall into the opponent's hands. Since Liu Fa was subject to Tong Guan
No matter who has to bear the responsibility for the loss of the army in the previous defeat, if he wants to force Liu Fa to retain Liu Fa and openly confront Tong Guan during the war, he will be the one to blame when it comes to the court.
However, Brother Cha definitely did not want to leave Tong Guan in charge. Since that concubine ignored the tens of thousands of soldiers under Liu Fa's command and the life and death of more than 100,000 Song people in the court, he could still turn right and wrong. If the leader of the enemy army fell into Tong Guan's hands,
How could he care about the life and death of Kang Jiong and other captured soldiers?
After all, Tong Guan's behavior has aroused the public indignation of many soldiers. If he wants to pull off the whole show, he must also submit his so-called battle report to the Privy Council for verification. Before the court makes a decision, he cannot bribe an official to manage the camp and send Liu Fa out.
Like military prisoners in a prison camp, they were usually dismissed as soon as they were told. After all, Judge Liu served as the pacification envoy on Xihe Road, and Tong Guan's identity had been transferred from Shaanxi, Hedong, and Hebei before the war between Song and Xia resumed.
Xuanfu Taiwei was promoted to Taifu and given the title of Duke of Jing. It was inevitable for Tong Guan to pin the blame on Liu Fa. However, if he was still Liu Fa before the court made a decision,
, Tong Guanying would not do anything stupid like actively pouring sewage on his body and breaking the jar...
Just to be on the safe side, Xiao Tang ordered two or three close confidants to go to Xining Prefecture with Liu Fa. After thinking about it in his mind, Xiao Tang nodded slightly to Liu Fa, and then said: "Liu Jinglue was wronged and humiliated.
, Although we have to be patient for a while, when the court compiles the military intelligence and battle report, I should truthfully explain the cause and effect to the officials."
Liu Fa shook his head slightly when he heard this, and said in his heart that although Xiao Tang was a brilliant military hero, he was still young and was very impulsive. According to Tong Guan's power to plan the city, since he dared to do this, he must be sure that he can handle it.
It is clear, and the instructors can believe what he said. Since he has fallen into such a situation, why should Xiao Tang, a rising star in the army, be suppressed by Tong Guanji? There are traitorous ministers in the government, so fight with those guys.
Black and white, justice, political tactics, political intrigue, how can you be the opponent of those scheming power traitors?
Looking at Liu Fa's expression, Xiao Tang knew what he was worried about, so he just said meaningfully: "Liu Jinglue doesn't need to worry about this junior. If the sky doesn't open his eyes for a moment, this junior will naturally have his own solution..."
Xiao Tang immediately shouted to the city: "Wang Zhizhai, please come to the city to speak!"
Wang Yuan, who was so frightened, could only complain in his heart that he was suffering from bad luck for eight lifetimes. It was said that he was just a Zhizhai commanding the Tibetan soldiers, so naturally he would not be able to get into Tong Guan's eyes. But now that the Xihe Army is under the command of Tong Guan, he, the Huangzhou
The Zhizhai officer of Linzong Village was just ordered to find the edge to the north of Xihe Road. Just because the soldiers and horses of all the troops were the closest to this place, he was sent to deliver Tong Guan's decree like a captured young man.
When gods fight, little devils suffer. Unfortunately, Wang Yuan was so angry that he didn't dare to fart. He only looked at the strange and wretched man next to him, but he was also on the orders of the ministers in the palace. But this guy was not from Xining.
The person from the state was sent on official business, but he didn't stand out, but asked me to look at him!
But fortunately, after entering the commander's tent, although all the generals present looked at Wang Yuan angrily, Xiao Tang still said coldly that General Liu Fa had broken his legs because of his heroic fighting. Now he has difficulty moving, so he needs a few people
People were watching over him, and after making some preparations, Wang Yuan escorted him to Xining Prefecture.
The court has not yet decided on the crime and punished it, so Liu Fa was not guilty. Wang Yuan was thankful to hear that Liu Fa was willing to go to Xining Prefecture to meet Tong Guan with him, and immediately said that he would not neglect his humble position, and he would take good care of him along the way.
Liu Jinglue will never make any mistakes along the way...
But after a while, Wang Yuan hesitated in his heart, and finally he bit the bullet and asked Xiao Tang: "Xiao Jieshuai, what about Brother Wang Cha... Tong Xuanshuai also sent an order to teach the humble officials to be escorted to Xining Prefecture. I don't know.
Xiao Jieshuai..."
Wang Yuan was only halfway through his words before he stopped talking, because he could also tell the appearance of a person's facial features, and looking at Xiao Tang, his face was even more gloomy and scary. If he hadn't asked for someone out of his wits at this moment, wouldn't he be trying to catch a big bug?
Tiger whiskers?
Xiao Tang snorted coldly, and then said solemnly: "If I hadn't risked my life to capture Brother Cha, forcing the Xia army to have some scruples and temporarily retreat, I don't know how many soldiers' lives it would have taken to defend the fortress here.
Now General Kang and a group of soldiers are still captured by the Xia army. There are many soldiers and civilians in the Bianting, but not all of them have moved south to a safe place. If I don't use Brother Cha as a threat, how many soldiers and civilians will there be in Wang Zhizhai?
Are you going to die immediately under the axes of the Xia army? Now the Xia army is still stationed not far to the north. You can find out what the situation is with a little exploration. Even though Wang Zhizhai is dying, he still wants to ask for help from the commander.
Isn’t it human?”
"This..." Wang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know how to express this. But at this moment, among the several generals who followed him into the commander's tent, there suddenly was a wretched, weird, skinny man. The man stood up and said with a sneer: "Shuai Xiao, that's not what you said. Brother Cha is a member of the Xia Kingdom's royal family and the enemy's commander. Now that he has been captured, he should be handed over to Commander Tong Xuan." It's better to go back and forth, but listening to what Commander Jie just said, do you think Zhi Moxun is planning to let the tiger go back to the mountains? Is it very inappropriate for Xiao JieShuai to negotiate with Xia Jun privately without going through Tong XuanShuai Jun's order? "
Xiao Tang felt a little disgusted when he saw the strange man's appearance. Wang Yuan, the Zhizhai officer, was careful when talking to him, for fear of bumping into him, but he didn't know where this man came from, but his tone was very strange.
But before Xiao Tang could get angry, Zhai Xing, who looked familiar to the strange man, suddenly thought about it again when he heard his words. He immediately stood up and cursed: "Kang Jie, aren't you here?" Is the old man the manager of Xianggong's activities? When did he become Tong Guan's lackey, trying to stir up trouble!?"
