Chapter 397 The defeat of the Tang army and the reappearance of the barbarian soldiers
In the Chinese army's tent, the noise and chaos slowly dissipated, and the surrounding area became quiet.
Li Ling, who was wearing a crimson robe, was questioned by Su Lu, and the sweat was already dripping down his face.
Once again enveloped by Su Lu's murderous intent, Li Ling realized that the last time he was targeted by Su Lu was just an ordinary incident. This time, Su Lu really wanted to kill him.
"Commander, the last general..."
"You are not a general under my command. You do not need to report to me. If you want people, I will give them to you. If you want materials, I will give them materials. This is how you repay me, increasing your materials and personnel time and time again."
"You have repeatedly asked Her Royal Highness the Princess to personally lead the troops into battle. Tell me, Li Ling, what exactly do you want to do?"
Su Lu's cold words filled the entire tent, making all the voices around him quiet. The soldiers and bosses who were working were all silent.
The general was so angry that his evil spirit filled the sky.
Li Ling knelt down with a plop, his face full of fear and fear, and his body was shivering.
"My lord, your lord, I don't have anything..., my lord, I just..."
Faced with Su Lu, the battlefield commander's murderous intention, Li Ling finally couldn't hold on any longer. This murderous intention was too strong.
Su Lu ordered: "In order to make you succeed, I have repeatedly made concessions to you, and even brought the head of our Ordnance Department out to tell you battle examples and give you strategies. This is how you repay me.
You have repeatedly asked me to send Her Royal Highness the Princess to support you."
Su Lu stood up, put his hands on the handsome case, leaned forward, and asked Li Ling coldly:
"It's a waste of supplies, and if you don't know the terrain well, you'll get killed. Li Ling, tell me, what do you want me to do with you?"
Li Ling's body trembled even more, but he still struggled to say: "I have nothing to say, I will not waste materials, I will not be unfamiliar with the terrain, and I will not dare to risk my life."
Su Lu sneered and ordered:
"read"
Lu Zhan took out a small notebook from his arms and his voice filled the entire camp.
"On the second day of mid-October, Han Xizai, the captain of Qingjiang under Li Ling's command, wanted to transport two thousand catties of sweet potatoes and two thousand catties of potatoes to Wuli Village on the north bank of Qingjiang River."
"On the ninth day of late October, Lieutenant Pingqi of Qingjiang under Li Ling's tribe wanted to transport three thousand catties of sweet potatoes and one thousand catties of potatoes to Wuli Village on the north bank of Qingjiang River."
"On the sixth day of the first ten days of November, Lieutenant Qingjiang of Li Ling's Department wanted to take 4,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes and transport them to..."
Lu Zhan's voice filled the entire camp. Every time Lu Zhan read one sentence, Li Ling, who was sitting softly on the ground, felt chilled. These were all clear accounts. It was impossible to trick him. They could only be the two Qingjiang Captains who had embezzled money.
He took the military rations and used them for other purposes.
Su Lu had planned a plan to deal with him long ago. It was ridiculous that he didn't know it yet, but he actually wanted to challenge Su Lu, as His Majesty's loyal dog, to curb Su Lu's growing power.
Now it seems that I can't even move Su Lu's hair.
Li Ling lowered his head and could not say a word.
"Take him down and wait until he is punished. If you dare to escape, you will be shot without mercy."
"I will give it to Your Majesty in writing. I will describe Li Ling's crimes in detail and say that I have terminated Li Ling's duties and asked Your Majesty to send another general over."
All the officers and generals responded respectfully to the chief officers.
Li Ling was taken away, and Su Yun looked at his brother in confusion.
"Have you wanted to deal with him for a long time?"
Su Lu waved his hand: "I didn't want to deal with him or deal with him. Do I need to think about it? He failed every time, so he just fell into my hands. I didn't even have time to think about his reasons.
"
"If he succeeds this time and destroys the Elite Bird Soldiers and wastes money and food, I won't care at all. I will at most reprimand him and don't think about letting you go to the front line again and again."
"It was him who sought his own death. He failed every time and pulled himself down from his seat as the governor of Dingxiang Guard."
Su Yun looked like I didn't believe it.
Su Lu smiled and did not explain. He just gave instructions: "Since we have completely wiped out the Yingte and Qi people coalition forces, why are you back and not trying to take credit from the ballista battalion and the infantry?"
Su Yun smiled disdainfully: "Tch, I don't need to take the credit. I'm already a princess, so what else do I need? Han Yun has already led the Feiniao Battalion up. I believe Cao Jie and Zhang Gan's ballistae battalion are here. Take the
The coalition general is just a piece of cake, so I can't do it."
Not long after, the messenger came to report that the battle on the front line was over. Countless Qi soldiers had surrendered, and countless Yingte soldiers had died on the water. The peak of troops pointed directly at the north bank of the Qingjiang River. North of the Qingjiang River, there were no more soldiers from Qi or Yingte.

great victory
Cheers sounded in the Chinese military tent, and all the soldiers and officers cheered. They had been busy for a month, just for today's victory!
It is indeed the most comfortable to fight under the command of a commander-in-chief. He is invincible, unlike the previous commander-in-chief, who was defeated many times and was not aggrieved enough.
Su Lu ordered: "Statistics on the results of the war, sort out the military exploits, write a report for the three provinces, say that the Yingte and Qi coalition forces were defeated, a great victory, and exaggerate the military exploits twice as much."
The soldiers and officers around were stunned. They exaggerated twice. Commander, can you be so straightforward?
Su Yun said angrily: "My brother gave me the order, just do it. There are so many things going on there, and if you do this again, you will all be dragged out and beheaded."
Three days later, Beijing.
Li Qing looked at the booklet sent back from the southern camp and shook his head helplessly. This Li Ling still made a mistake and fell into Su Lu's hands. He deserved it.
Third uncle, this is an explanation. You begged Zong Zhengfu and used the family stick to suppress me. I satisfied you last time.
This time, Li Ling took bribes, violated the law, and murdered the princess. It's your turn to explain to me.
"Come here, give this military affairs brochure full of the prince's anger to Duke Wenshan. Let him see who the person he forced Da Zongzheng to recommend to me is. He actually murdered the princess. Ask him, what should I do?
How to deal with this Li Ling?"
Li Qing said with a smile, Su Lu really understood me best. Knowing that I was forced to pardon Li Ling, he turned around and dealt with Li Ling.
"Demonstrated, everything will be rewarded according to the prince's request. All the meritorious officers and soldiers will be rewarded according to the highest standards."
"Prince Jiasu is the general manager of the Southern Territory and has full authority to handle all affairs in the Southern Territory. In the case of Li Ling, if he attempts to murder the princess, he will be beheaded."
Gao Zhan next to him reminded him in a low voice.
"Li Ling belongs to Duke Wenshan. Your Majesty will handle it this way. If Duke Wenshan makes trouble, he will not look good on his face."
Li Qing laughed.
"Gao Zhan, you just don't understand. The prince is dissatisfied with Li Ling. Why would he remove Li Ling only after a great victory? It's true that the prince is already angry with Li Ling."
Compared with the anger of the prince, what is Wenshan Gong? To put it bluntly, what is the Zongzheng Mansion? As long as Prince Su is here, I can burn the Zongzheng Mansion to the ground with just one word, even if he is Zongzheng who has been passed down for hundreds of years.
Mansion."
Hearing this, Gao Zhan said with a smile: "Your Majesty is wise and wise, and his eyes are as bright as a torch. There is nothing for young people to hide from."
Two guards carried a dust-covered sergeant into the hall.
Li Qing's expression changed: "Expediting messenger from Xiting 800 Miles!"
"Your Majesty, the Tang army has been defeated and has retreated to Wuyuan. The barbarian army has appeared in the western border."
The general holding the military report in his hand spoke hoarsely.
