Chapter 99: The Night Banquet (II)

"No. Liu Xianneng bowed and said: "When I first went to meet the Grand Governor, he directly questioned the information that the last general would get. And when the last general repeatedly complained, he still insisted that this was a false alarm, and sternly warned the last general not to listen to the theory of chasing after the wind and catching shadows, otherwise once the army was sent to cause the militia, it would be a big crime to rob the family and exterminate the clan. The last general argued with reason, but was still driven out of the Metropolitan Governor's Palace.

The next day, the last general received five more urgent military briefings, and when he went to the Dadu Governor's Yamen again, he heard from the porter that the Dadu Governor was not in good health and did not come to the Yamen at all. After that, the last general came to the governor's mansion again, but he was still told that he had already fallen asleep, and he was not willing to see the last general at all.

This is not just the last general's experience. Zhang Shou, commander of the second squadron of the garrison, and Wu Hai, commander of the fourth squadron, can all testify to the last general. The words of the last general are true, and they will be clearly judged to His Highness. ”

With his eyebrows raised, Xiao Yichen's gaze swept to the side of the general, and he raised his voice and asked, "Zhang Shou, Wu Hai, are you there?"

"The last general, Zhang Shou (Wu Hai), knocked on His Highness. As soon as they heard Xiao Yichen's voice, the two of them, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately left the table and knelt behind Liu Xianneng.

"What Liu Xianneng said just now, but is it true?" Xiao Yichen asked indifferently.

"The last general is willing to save his life, and what Liu Dutong said is true. Even the commanders of several brigades under the command of the last general can testify. Zhang Shou responded loudly.

"Hmm. Xiao Yichen nodded, then turned to the side of the civil official, looked at Feng Zhen and said, "Lord Feng, as a star field left, you should assist Nangong Jun, but why don't you persuade you?"

"Your Royal Highness Mingjian, when I heard about this, it was after Liu Dutong came to the door, but when the old minister went to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, he was also closed, and he didn't see the Metropolitan Governor at all. After that, three days passed, and even the old minister had received the news that it was the orc rebellion, and the old minister knew that the matter was very important, and he was in a hurry to obey the power, so he had to overstep his authority and forcibly issue a document to Liu Dutong to open a warehouse, so that Liu Dutong could send troops to resist the rebels. Feng Zhen hurriedly got up, and after respectfully replying, he said: "Most of the colleagues in the Governor's Yamen know about this matter, and His Highness will know it when he asks." ”

"No, don't ask. If this king doesn't know who is causing trouble to the country and the people, then isn't this king extremely stupid? I can only hate that Nangong Jun old dog, who actually killed himself to avoid punishment, otherwise this king will definitely let him know what will happen if he is good at military and political affairs and is not effective in resisting the enemy!" Xiao Yichen patted his palms hatefully, his eyes full of cold light.

"Your Highness is wise, Your Highness Xie is discerning. Everyone lost no time in patting the sycophants at this moment, and their hearts were a lot more settled.

Looking at the few generals who were still kneeling or standing in the hall, Xiao Yichen raised his hand to them and said, "You wait and retreat first, King Liu Dutong still has something to ask you." ”

"Your Highness, please speak clearly, Liu Xianneng knows everything. Without waiting for a few other people to take their seats, Liu Xianneng returned the salute.

"This king has read the battle report, saying that after you sent your troops, you did not enter the Hundred Flowers Star Cluster to quell the rebellion, but instead returned the fleet to the inner side of the Feihong Star Cluster, and divided the remaining three sub-fleets to each garrison a few surrounding star clusters. This king wants to know, at that time, there should be no million rebels, and you have 300,000 soldiers in your hands, why don't you want to attack and let Baihua and the other six surrounding star clusters fall into chaos?" Xiao Yichen stared at Liu Xianneng's eyes and asked with a little dissatisfaction.

"Your Highness. It was already a few days later when the last general led the fleet to the periphery of the Hundred Flowers Star Cluster, and at that time, it was found that the rebels, who were originally only a few thousand starships, had snowballed to more than 1.5 million. At this moment, the last general only has two detachments in his hands and no more than 120,000 ships, and the difference in strength is more than ten times. Considering that the rebels were expanding too fast, if they attacked rashly, they would most likely be entangled by the rebels, and the remaining three detachments would take a day to rush to the battlefield even if they were immediately reinforced. If this battle is won, the end will naturally be meritorious. But if it is defeated, there will be no more soldiers in the star field. The last general thought that it was better to retreat temporarily and wait for help. First, they can guard the choke points and prevent the rebels from having the possibility of protruding from the star field. Second, you can also wait for the imperial court soldiers. At that time, the rebels will be trapped in the Azure Star Field, and the rebellion will not affect the surrounding Star Fields. So that the court can quell the rebellion, and it can also be simpler. The last general is not afraid of the battle, but just wants to trap the rebels. Your Highness, please make a clear decision. Liu Xianneng talked without panic.

Nodding as if he was very satisfied, Xiao Yichen's eyes brought a little appreciation, and he raised his voice and said: "The advance and retreat are well-founded, calm and capable." can not be greedy for merit, and also have a view of the overall situation. Not only are you not guilty of this battle, but you have merit. This king has always had clear rewards and punishments, and under the disadvantage, he was constrained by the old thief Nangong Jun, and he was able to keep most of the star field stable, so he should be seriously injured. Yue'er, write it down. ”

"Yui. Yue'er responded in a coquettish voice, and immediately took out a roll of silver silk from her sleeve and waited for Xiao Yichen's next words.

"Liu Xianneng, the commander of the garrison of the Azure Star Domain, was not afraid of the stubborn enemy in the battle of the Orc Rebellion, led the troops well, and protected the country and the people, which can be described as a great achievement. Today, he was rewarded with the title of "Righteous Four Grades", awarded the title of "Counterinsurgency General", awarded the "Third Class Lord of Bravery", and gave him a million dragon coins as a reward. Xiao Yichen slowly patted the fan in his hand and said to Liu Xianneng with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Highness. Long live the empire, long live Your Highness, the last general will swear to repay the empire and be loyal to His Majesty the Holy Monarch!" Liu Xianneng immediately knelt down, his tone full of excitement.

Raising his hand slightly, Xiao Yichen smiled and said, "Okay, get up, don't kneel." Take a seat and drink a glass of promotion wine. ”

"Your Highness. After Liu Xianneng got up respectfully, he bowed again, and then retreated into his seat.

After scanning everyone, Xiao Yichen sighed and said: "This king actually knows that those orc cubs are white-eyed wolves who can't be fed, but helplessly, the orc clan has frequently rebelled over the years, so that this king has also been reprimanded by his father in the court." Therefore, I had to inspect the eastern frontier, which can be regarded as a show. Today, since I already know that it is Nangong Jun's old thief who is making trouble behind his back, I will have an explanation when I go back, as for how the Nangong family quarrels with his father, it is not something that this king wants to pay attention to. Come, all of you, have another drink with the king. ”

Listening to Xiao Yichen's words, everyone knew that it seemed that the orc rebellion was mixed up, and they all raised their wine glasses at the moment, and the atmosphere began to be lively.

Putting down the wine glass, Xiao Yichen turned his head sideways and said to Yu Xiaoxiang: "Xiang'er, Liu Dutong has made great achievements, and you go to serve him wine for this king, which can be regarded as the king's reward for him." ”

"Yui. Although Yu Xiaoxiang was stunned, she was still very well-behaved, and she sold lotus steps sideways, and walked towards Liu Xianneng.
