The fifth year of Amano, the nineteenth day of the lunar month

When Peng Kuohai was deploying operations at this general pass, he had already learned that the granary of Ping'an Town had been burned, and the soldiers of Ji Linbing finally saw Sun Yuting, the chief who had been escorted to the main camp overnight.

"Alas......"

Looking at the eldest grandson Yuting who was escorted into the handsome tent covered in mud and with a cloak scattered, Ji Linbing who was sitting on the handsome chair sighed and did not speak for a long time.

However, he didn't speak, and Ning Dewu, the deputy marshal sitting next to him, didn't know how to be an ornament, and coughed lightly, Deputy Marshal Ning got up and gently arched his hand to Ji Linbing, with a straight face.

"General, the eldest grandson Yuting, as a granary guard, was not well guarded, and repeatedly made stupid moves, causing the army's grain and grass to be burned, according to military regulations, he should be beheaded."

As soon as these words came out, Song Han, another deputy commander of the army and a former general, sent a representative, and his younger brother, Song Xia, the general of Western Zhou Anton, immediately echoed it.

"What Ning Shuai said is very true, the eldest grandson Yuting committed such a heinous crime, and he should be beheaded, general, my brother Song Shuai also means this."

"This ........."

Ji Linbing frowned, and did not take the lead in speaking, but glanced at his henchman general, Guo Tian, the general of the Western Zhou Zhengnan, Guo Tian understood and immediately got up.

"Although the eldest grandson Yuting made a big mistake, but now that the war is currently ongoing, it is really unknown to kill the general, so it is better to watch it first and deal with it after the war."

"Fuck your shit."

A rough voice sounded, and the commander of the Western Zhou Forbidden Army, Mingwei Hou Luba, got up and pointed at Guo Tian's nose and scolded.

"Don't think I don't know what you think, don't you just be afraid of this little rabbit's father, let me tell you, you Guo Tian is afraid of the eldest grandson Wuchang, and Lao Tzu is not afraid.

The big crime of losing food should be beheaded, not to mention the son of the eldest grandson Wuchang, even the current prince, there is no reason to be exempted, this is what I Lu Ba dare to say in front of the Queen Mother and His Majesty. ”

…………

Guo Tian was chased by Lu Ba and sprayed wildly, but he didn't dare to fight back, there was no way, he couldn't afford to provoke this master, let alone him, even Ji Linbing had to let him have a few points.

Mingwei Hou Luba, who was the general of Taizong's side in the Taizong Dynasty, was deeply trusted by Emperor Taizong of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

After Emperor Amano ascended the throne, Lu Ba became the commander of the Western Zhou Dynasty from the Erpin Forbidden Army, loyal and courageous, helping the Empress Dowager Ning's mother and son to eradicate the power of the prime minister, guarding the palace day and night for several years, and was the most trusted military general in the hearts of the Queen Mother and the little emperor.

For Empress Dowager Ning's mother and son, Lu Ba is more worthy of reliance than King Li and Ning Dewu, the two imperial uncles/uncles, and is a veritable Jane Zaidi.

With this relationship, coupled with the 100,000 elite forbidden troops of the Western Zhou Dynasty in the hands of Lu Ba, it is unique in the Western Zhou Dynasty military and has a transcendent status, except for Ji Linbing, a great general, and Ning Dewu, who is backed by the party, the rest of the military giants are inferior to him by two points.

This is also where Lu Ba's confidence lies in shouting that he is not afraid of the general and the prince of Liang, Sun Wuchang.

This time, Lu Ba was sent to the front line by the Empress Dowager Ning, nominally just an ordinary general, but his real power was no less than that of Song Han and Ning Dewu, the two deputy marshals, and he also had the responsibility of supervising the army, and his status on the front line was extremely high.

He opened his mouth to support the beheading of Sun Yuting, and Guo Tian was naturally no match for Lu Shuai, who was known for his hot temper.

……………

And on this side, Ning Dewu saw that Lu Ba also came out to help, and he was overjoyed, and hurriedly pursued with victory, vowing to behead the eldest grandson Yuting to show the public.

But Ji Linbing hesitated for some reasons, and his actions gradually made Lu Ba, Song Xia and most of the generals in the tent dissatisfied.

Lu Ba, who is as hot as fire, said bluntly that Ji Linbing is not strict and does not handle things properly.

Okay.

Lu Ba didn't say that Ji Linbing was okay, he sprayed at Ji Linbing, and the Zhenbei general next to him stopped doing it.

Bao Xiong, like Guo Tian, is Ji Linbing's loyal confidant, but unlike the steady and gentle Guo Tian, this person's personality is very similar to Lu Ba, and he is also a bastard who doesn't care about his temper.

He saw that Lu Ba was disrespectful to Ji Linbing, his eyes were red directly, and he rolled up his sleeves and was about to give Lu Ba two meat fists to eat.

Seeing this, the generals nearby hurriedly stopped the two of them, and the whole handsome tent was in chaos.

"That's enough."

With an angry roar, Ji Linbing stared at Bao Xiong and Lu Ba with a gloomy face: "They are all pillars of the military, waving their fists in front of everyone, what kind of system." ”

Bao Xiong was the most obedient to Ji Linbing, and immediately stopped when he heard the words, and Lu Ba saw that Bao Xiong was honest, and he also muttered and turned around and sat down.

Although he is not afraid of Ji Linbing, he also understands the rules of respect and humility in the military camp, and he just wanted to do it, but he was also provoked by Bao Xiong's temper.

…………

Seeing Lu and Bao stopping, Ji Linbing sighed secretly in his heart, now that the granary has been burned, the Zhou army is in a critical situation, if the general fights in public, this battle will really be impossible to fight.

Turning his head to look at the eldest grandson Yuting who was kneeling there, trembling, Ji Linbing felt a headache.

To tell the truth, the eldest grandson Yuting was derelict in guarding the grain, and Ji Linbing also wanted to cut him down directly to calm the public anger, but he took care of the Sun family, the head of the Liang State Mansion behind him.

As the founding prince of the country, the eldest grandson family had a great influence among the old nobles of the Western Zhou Dynasty, especially after the second generation of Liang Guogong Changsun Wuchang took office as a general, the eldest grandson has faintly become the head of the old nobles of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and has become a force that cannot be ignored in the court of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Prior to this, because there was some competition of interests between Ning's relatives and the old nobles, the eldest grandson and the Hou party led by Ning Decai and Ning Dewu were very unhappy.

Then, the eldest grandson Wuchang slowly approached the royalist led by Ji Linbing with a group of veteran nobles, and the two sides were not as close as a family, but they were also allies with a good relationship.

This is also the reason why Ning Dewu insisted on asking Ji Linbing to kill Changsun Yuting, the purpose of which was to destroy the relationship between Ji Linbing and Changsun Yuting.

After all, Aiko was beheaded by Ji's order, even if the eldest grandson Wuchang's heart is great, it is estimated that it is impossible to maintain the previous close attitude towards Ji Linbing.

And once the eldest grandson Wuchang has a bad heart, then the alliance between the old nobles of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the royalists he represents will almost break down.

In contrast, Lu Ba and the Song brothers don't have so many crooked intestines, they want to kill Changsun Yuting, they are simply hating Changsun Yuting for being stupid, destroying the good situation of the Zhou army now, and killing him to vent his anger to show that he is listening.

In this regard, Ji Linbing was very clear in his heart, so he was very embarrassed, he not only had the heart of killing people to calm the anger of the people, but also worried that he would lose a major political and political alliance because of this.

But if he didn't kill Changsun Yuting, the Changsun family would have maintained it, but what would he do to appease the generals and the army.

And the most important thing is that the loss of peace may determine the battle situation between the two countries, if you don't kill Changsun Yuting, it's okay if you win, if you lose, the prestige that Ji Linbing has accumulated in the army for many years will be lost because of this.

"Tsk........."

Ji Linbing's eyes were firmly fixed on the eldest grandson Yuting under the hall, and his heart gradually became biased.
