Chapter 2681 The death of the defeated general is strange
Chapter 2682 The truth comes out
The two factions fought hard, and in the end, the faction supporting General Hui gained the upper hand, and General Hui continued to serve.
However, General Hui, who usually boasted in court, performed poorly on the battlefield. Daxia fought several more battles with Jin and Sai. It can be said that Daxia suffered repeated defeats. In the end, even Yuzhou was also defeated.
Trapped.
The faction that supported the general died down. The emperor decided to seize the title of general and sent another person to fight the enemy.
The prince and the second prince both asked themselves to go into battle to kill the enemy. Since the general was the brother-in-law of the second prince, for the sake of balance, the emperor asked the prince to bring one hundred thousand troops to the north to meet the enemy.
In fact, when the prince asked Ying to go into battle, he wanted to perform meritorious service and gain military power. On the other hand, he also wanted to understand the sentiments of the people. At the same time, he also wanted to find out the reasons for the defeat. He had a feeling that there was something fishy about the death of General Zhenbei.
!
Therefore, he let the army go first, but he only took a few soldiers with him and traveled incognito.
Unexpectedly, before arriving at Yuzhou, I met General Nan's only daughter first.
When Nan Mengyu heard the prince ask him what was wrong, she burst into tears: "Your Highness, my father, General Zhenbei, died unjustly. That time when the general came, he withheld military rations, and the soldiers could only eat one a day.
How can you win a battle if you go to the battlefield half full?
He didn't understand the terrain and commanded blindly. He knew the enemy was deceitful and sent my father to fight. He directly sent my father into a trap and was pierced by thousands of arrows and died!
My father saw that something was wrong, so before the war, he sent General Gu out with a message. As a result, General Gu was chased and intercepted by the general's men on the road, and he almost died."
Hearing that General Zhenbei sent someone to deliver the letter, the prince immediately summoned Gu Dongxing.
The letter Gu Dongxing brought out was finally handed over to the prince.
General Zhenbei's letter revealed that General Hui had embezzled grain, colluded with the enemy, allowed the enemy to set up traps, and transferred General Zhenbei into an encirclement.
Gu Dongxing also said that after General Zhenbei found that he was surrounded by enemies, he wrote a letter, opened a hole, and asked Gu Dongxing to carry the letter to break out of the encirclement.
If General Zhenbei hadn't stayed behind to attract the enemy, Gu Dongxing wouldn't have been able to escape.
Even if he escaped with others, of the more than a hundred people who accompanied him, only a dozen people escaped in the end.
Unexpectedly, Gu Dongxing escaped from the enemy's siege, but he encountered the general who hunted him down as a "deserter". Along the way, more than a dozen people died one after another. In the end, he was the only one left, and he almost died.
The car manager rescued him into Qincheng.
The prince did not expect that General Hui would be so audacious that he would even dare to embezzle someone in the army. He would just repay the corruption himself and put the blame on others.
The most hateful thing is that in order to fully control the military power, he actually colluded with the enemy and sent General Zhenbei into the enemy's encirclement to die in battle!
Of course, he did not listen to Gu Dongxing's words. Instead, he quietly sneaked into Yuzhou with Gu Dongxing and Nan Mengyu and secretly investigated the truth.
General Hui originally wanted to have General Zhenbei killed, and then win a few more great victories, and his military power would be stable.
But I didn't expect that after the enemy country killed General Zhenbei, it immediately changed its attitude and became greedy. It kept asking for rewards and the city, and even threatened to take the general back, or else he would collude with them to kill General Zhenbei.
Let me reveal it. Yuzhou, which was managed like an iron barrel by General Zhenbei, was actually given up by General Hui on his own initiative.
