"Now! Do any of you want to complain about this traitor?"
There was silence before the big tent.
Li Danqing's cold voice echoed in front of the big tent. The cold voice fell into everyone's ears, causing everyone who was already horrified to remain silent for a moment.
This question seems to be asked knowingly.
Li Danqing dared to kill the leader of the Red Dragon Army in front of everyone at this time. The outcome of those who dared to speak out for Gu Quan was naturally predictable.
Seeing Gu Quan like this, ordinary soldiers would not dare to say anything at this juncture.
Even if he really had enough time to take care of his close friends with the generals, he could only choose to remain silent at this time.
Gulu.
Bai Lingjia swallowed a sip of saliva and calmed down his beating heart a little.
"Your Majesty...if you kill General Gu so hastily, you won't worry about the separation of people's hearts..." He suppressed the fear and anger in his heart and looked at Li Danqing and said.
But he was only halfway through saying this when he was interrupted by Li Danqing who turned around and looked at him with an inexplicable smile.
"So, General Bai also thinks that this traitor should not be killed?" Li Danqing asked, one hand already pressed on the hilt of the Chao Ge Sword behind his back.
The meaning behind these words was extremely straightforward. Bai Lingjia's expression suddenly changed when he heard this. He immediately closed his mouth, lowered his head and said no more.
Li Danqing seemed to be very satisfied with Bai Lingjia's performance, and the hand holding the sword hilt also loosened his grip at this moment.
But then he asked again: "Does General Bai have any objections to the decision to dismiss General Bai from his post?"
When asked this question, Li Danqing still had a smile on his face, looking like a warm spring breeze.
But Gu Quan's body was lying next to him. Bai Lingjia, who had seen Li Danqing's tricks, didn't dare to be reckless anymore. He just lowered his head and nodded silently.
"That's good. General Bai needs to tidy up and leave the barracks now." Li Danqing nodded with satisfaction and said this.
Finally, he took another look at the group of soldiers who came with Bai Lingjia and Gu Quan. The armor patterns they wore were completely different from those of ordinary soldiers. At a glance, he could tell that they were military officer-level figures.
"Also, everyone, you are causing trouble with a traitor like Gu Quan. I want to let it go because you were deceived by Gu Quan. However, you can avoid the death penalty, but you cannot escape the living crime. You will also be temporarily removed from your official position and leave within half an hour.
If anyone dares to stay in the military camp, he will be killed immediately!"
When these words came out, Bai Lingjia and the many generals belonging to the White Armor Army and the Red Dragon Army all changed their expressions and looked ugly.
But under the intimidation of Prince Li's thunderous tactics, everyone could only suppress their depression, lowered their heads and left dejectedly.
Gongsun Zhi was naturally responsible for this matter. He took his cronies with him, saying they were escorting, but in fact they were monitoring the backbone of the White Armored Army and the Red Dragon Army. After they left the military camp, they would break up the organization and rearrange the affairs of the two hundred thousand troops.
After the explanation, he quickly came to the big tent.
He was so anxious that he had no time to wait for the guard at the door to notify him, so he hurriedly walked into the big tent.
In the big tent, Li Danqing didn't seem to realize what kind of trouble he had caused. At this moment, he was playing chess with Qingzhu leisurely.
When Gongsun Zhi walked into the tent, he happened to see Li Shizi being defeated by Qingzhu, and he was scratching his head in embarrassment.
"Prince?" Gongsun Zhi called Li Danqing upon seeing this.
Upon hearing this, Prince Li stood up and the chess pieces in his hand "accidentally" spilled out of his hands, and the chess pieces that were spilled "accidentally" fell onto the chessboard, disrupting the chess pieces on the chessboard.
The situation that had already fallen into defeat was suddenly disrupted.
Li Danqing looked at the chessboard with a regretful look on his face and said: "Oh... what a good game!"
"On the surface, I am invincible, but in fact I have secretly killed the enemy and am waiting to close the net. It is a pity that General Gongsun disrupted the situation!"
Li Danqing's words naturally drew a blank stare from Qingzhu and Xia Xianyin.
In just half an hour before Gongsun Zhi left, Li Danqing had already lost five games. At this moment, his behavior was somewhat suspicious of him becoming angry and acting rogue.
However, for the sake of Gongsun Zhi being here, Xia Xianyin and Qingzhu did not expose Li Shizi's little thoughts.
On the contrary, Gongsun Zhi, who had been scapegoated as soon as he entered the tent, was a little confused.
However, he also had no intention of paying attention to this matter. Instead, he looked at Li Danqing and said with some sadness: "Your Majesty is so confused!"
When Li Danqing heard this, he blinked in confusion and looked at the other party and asked, "What does General Gongsun mean by this?"
"The prince killed Gu Quan to relieve his anger, but how could his subordinates be convinced..."
"What's more, if the court holds him accountable..." Gongsun Zhi said anxiously.
"General Gongsun!" Gongsun Zhi was interrupted by Li Danqing before he could finish his sentence.
This time, Li Shizi's tone became harsh and the expression on his face became solemn. Gongsun Zhi couldn't help but be stunned and looked at Li Danqing.
"Nowadays, the national crisis is looming, but Gu Quan and Bai Lingjia have repeatedly hindered it, making it difficult for our army to go out for the expedition. Do you know how many people will suffer from the disaster of war without delaying for a day? As a result, families will be destroyed, wives and children will be scattered?"
"Of course I understand that killing them will definitely make their old tribe dissatisfied, but I have given them a chance, but they are stubborn and I cannot continue to deal with them!"
Hearing this, Gongsun Zhi naturally understood that what Li Danqing said was not unreasonable, but he still said with some worry: "Of course I understand the prince's worries, but..."
"There's nothing wrong with it. There aren't that many ways to get the best of both worlds in this world. Besides, most of his cronies have been driven away by me. The remaining soldiers may be a little unhappy, but I believe that with General Gongsun's
It should be possible to calm down their dissatisfaction quickly."
"General Gongsun, we are at a dead end now, and we don't have much time to look forward and backward," Li Danqing said.
After hearing this, Gongsun Zhi was silent for a while, and finally nodded heavily.
Although he was still worried about Li Danqing's risky approach, he also understood that if he sat in Li Danqing's position, he might not be able to make better decisions than him.
At least I don't have this determination to burn the boat.
"Bai Lingjia belongs to Master Xiang. At this moment, I estimate that he has
I have taken people to Baiyi Mansion to report the matter. These days, because more and more refugees have gathered outside Wuyang City, there are endless voices that are unfavorable to the Crown Prince. Xiang Luowen could not possibly take this opportunity to attack the Crown Prince.
, the crown prince must also be prepared." Gongsun Zhi, who was worried, hesitated again and again, and finally reminded him.
"Don't worry, General Gongsun. These matters will be left to my son to handle. What General Gongsun needs to do now is to help me stabilize the morale of the army. I don't want the Liao people to kill us and we will still be scattered." Li Danqing said with a smile.
Seeing that Li Danqing was so confident, Gongsun Zhi naturally couldn't say anything more. He nodded and was about to turn around and leave.
"By the way, General Gongsun." But at this moment, Li Danqing called out to Gongsun Zhi.
Gongsun Zhi was stunned when he heard this. He turned around and looked at Li Danqing with some confusion and asked, "Does the Crown Prince have any other instructions?"
Li Danqing smiled and asked: "General Gongsun, does he know why this prince is willing to use you in such a high regard?"
Gongsun Zhi did not expect that Li Danqing would ask this question. He was stunned, but did not know how to respond.
Li Danqing was indeed reusing him, just as Bai Lingjia said when he mocked him. Before coming to Li Danqing's command, although he also served in the Xuanwu Army, he was just the commander of a music department and was in charge of his subordinates.
There were only more than 3,000 people, but when Li Danqing got his hands, Li Shizi immediately appointed him as the commander of the Xuanwu Army, which really flattered Gongsun Zhi.
However, this is not a particularly difficult thing to understand. After all, Li Danqing's foundation in the court was relatively weak, and only Gongsun Zhi in the army had shown goodwill to him.
The 200,000-strong army was already a mixed bag, so it was not unexpected for Li Danqing to promote his cronies.
But it was difficult for Gongsun Zhi to say this.
Li Danqing seemed to see through his mind and said at that time: "It is true that General Gongsun was reused because he needed someone he could trust, but that is not the most important thing."
"The most important thing is that my old man once gave me a list and told me that if the country is in trouble, the people on this list are all available."
"And the old man has always been very accurate in judging people. There are only two things he cares about. One is talent, and the other is character."
"This is why so many people gave the old man gifts and asked for an official position, but no one responded. But General Gongsun just gave him an ordinary sword and he won his appreciation..."
Gongsun Zhi trembled when he heard this, his face suddenly flushed, and the light in his eyes flickered.
For Wuyang people, especially those in the military.
These three words, Li Mulin, are like thunder, and they exist like a belief.
To be recognized by Li Mulin was an unimaginable honor for Gongsun Zhi.
"After these years of struggling in Wuyang City, I know that General Gongsun really has to do something against his will, and he has to restrain his past temper."
"but now……"
"When facing a national crisis, there are no taboos. I hope that General Gongsun can return to the Gongsun Zhi who once favored my old man, instead of a tactful General Gongsun who struggled in the Wuyang Dynasty and suffered all the hardships."
