Chapter 193: Temporarily take charge of the army
"Hey!"
Han Dang couldn't dodge, and the commander of the personal guard killed himself directly, Han Dang saw that this person was so loyal, sighed, and asked the sergeant to drag his body out. After the sergeant reported the matter to everyone, Cheng Pu ordered the sergeant to take these people out of the camp for burial, and punished them with war death, and everyone did not raise a voice against it.
Dong Xi fell to his knees with a 'plop', and cried and said: "This is all my fault, if I hadn't hunted the tiger to show off, I'm afraid the lord wouldn't have gone out of the camp to hunt!" It's all my fault, lord, I'm sorry for you, lord! ……”
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.
Gu Yong was stunned when he heard this, thought for a moment, and stepped forward and said: "The lord was assassinated when he went out of the camp to hunt, and it was two waves of assassins, which is a bit too much of a coincidence!" I suspect that this must have been premeditated, and even the matter of the lord going out to camp and hunting should be in the calculation of the assassins, so the lord will encounter assassination in the matter of going out of the camp to hunt,......"
When everyone heard Gu Yong's words, they were all slightly stunned, and then looked at the thing that knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, isn't it, this matter is a bit too coincidental!
When Dong Xi heard Gu Yong's words, and then saw the eyes of everyone looking at him, he was suddenly furious in his heart, looked at Gu Yong with red eyes, and shouted: "Yuan sigh, do you think that the assassination of the lord was planned by me!" Did I deliberately hunt the tiger and lure the lord out of the camp to hunt? I, Dong Xi, am deeply favored by the lord and loyal to the lord, how could I do such an ungrateful thing! I will never allow others to insult me in this matter, if you don't believe me, I am willing to use my life to prove my innocence! ”
After Dong Xi finished speaking, he pulled out the saber on his waist and wiped it towards his neck, fortunately, the generals had already prepared, Tai Shici, who was closest to Dong Xi, saw this, and hurriedly kicked the saber in Dong Xi's hand and flew out, and shouted urgently: "General Dong, don't do this, let's let Mr. Yuan Si finish his words first, I know your loyalty to the lord, and I will not suspect that you have scandalized this matter!" ”
Seeing that Dong Raid was so strong, everyone also persuaded one after another, Gu Yong didn't expect Dong Raid's reaction to be so big, and hurriedly continued: "General Dong, I don't suspect that you planned this matter, I just want to say that there must be assassins in this camp!" The lord went out of the camp to hunt and encountered an assassination, which is really too much of a coincidence, and it must be the camp that should be used as a response! I'm afraid that even the tigers hunted by the general were deliberately arranged by others, and what they wanted was to arouse the lord's heart to go out of the camp and hunt, and attract the lord to the past. ”
"General Dong, I have a few questions, and I would like to ask you to answer them, I wonder what happened wrong around the general when he went out of the camp to hunt? Or, who aroused the general's heart to go out of the camp to hunt, and who brought the general to the place where the tiger is infested, so that the general can hunt the tiger! ”
Dong Xi listened to Gu Yong's words, and felt a little wrong in his heart, he thought for a moment, and said: "It was a military Sima under my account who said that when he was inspecting the riverside, he heard the sound of a tiger roaring in that mountain forest, which aroused my heart to go out of the camp to hunt, and later he personally brought me there, I didn't want to really hunt the tiger, and later boasted of martial arts, it was also him who came out, and I was proud in my heart at that time and did not refuse!" Now it seems that this person is really wrong, he must be the assassin's internal response! ”
Dong Xi stood up suddenly, bowed, and said, "Wait a minute, generals, I will personally bring this person here!" ”
After Dong Xi finished speaking, he hurriedly walked out of the tent and rushed straight in the direction of his camp, preparing to go to arrest the military horse.
After Dong attacked and left, everyone calmed down again, just now the commander of the guards died, Han Dang was directly responsible, he was a little reluctant in his heart, and he was also anxious to find out the murderer who assassinated Sun Ce, and said urgently: "Those guards also said just now, the three assassins in the back had sent out two arrows before killing themselves, they must be outsiders to report to others, there must be accomplices of the murderer near the mountain forest, this is a clue to find the murderer." What do you think of my proposal to send a large army out of the camp at once to find out what is going on? ”
Huang Gai was cautious, and when he heard this, he stopped him repeatedly: "The lord was assassinated and died, and now the army is leaderless, and the heart of the army is unstable, at this time, you must not send the army out of the camp, otherwise there will be chaos!" Even if the Assassins had accomplices, they would certainly not have many men, so they only needed to send 300 elite horsemen to investigate and pursue the murderer, and there was no need to mobilize a large army. Demou (Cheng Pu's word), what do you think? ”
Cheng Pu nodded and replied: "I think what the public said is reasonable, what do you say?" ”
Everyone responded: "We also agree to General Huang's proposal." ”
At this time, in the Jiangdong army, in addition to Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, especially Cheng Pu's prestige was the highest, as long as it did not involve his own interests, all the generals also faintly obeyed his orders. Cheng Pu looked at everyone for a while, and finally put his eyes on Han Dang, who made the suggestion at the beginning, and said, "Okay, since that's the case, Yigong, I'm going to trouble you to immediately lead three hundred light horsemen to investigate this matter, I don't know how?" ”
Han Dang also knew that the situation was urgent at this time, and the rest of the generals had better let them not go out of the camp, otherwise it would be difficult to control, and if there was turmoil, it would be a big deal! Among the three veterans left by Sun Jian, his ability and prestige are the lowest, and it is the best result for him to go out of the camp to chase the murderer at this time.
Han Dang replied: "Well, I will go out of the camp to pursue the murderer, and I will lead three hundred light horsemen to go!" ”
Cheng Pu nodded to Han Dang, let him lead the army to chase the murderer, and then continued: "The lord was suddenly assassinated, and now the army of 50,000 dragons has no leader, what do you think we should do at this time?" ”。
Generals, you look at me, I look at you, they didn't speak for a while, Yu pondered for a moment, bowed down and said: "Generals, as the saying goes, you can't be left without a master in the army for a day!" Now that the lord died suddenly, and there is no will, my army has no leader, if this matter is not resolved, there will definitely be chaos! These 50,000 troops are the foundation of my Jiangdong business, and we must not lose the slightest, otherwise our Jiangdong will be in chaos! I think that we should first find out a person in charge at this time, only in this way can we all calmly deal with the assassination of the lord! ”
Cheng Pu nodded slightly, looked at everyone, and said, "I think what Zhong Xiang said is very true, I don't know what you think?" Who should preside over the great affairs of these 50,000 troops? ”
