After summoning, Mo Feng's consciousness returned to reality. Looking at the battlefield full of corpses, busy cleaning the battlefield and escorting the captured imperial soldiers, I couldn't help but feel sad in my heart: the rebellion within the empire, after all, the loss is still the people and national defense strength of the empire, and the benefits are still the beasts and Xianbei Hu.

At this time, the general Wei Kai also came back, but Mo Feng found that his eyes glanced here from time to time, and he felt a little guilty.

burying the bodies of the war dead; Collect the weapons and baggage left on the battlefield; Go to the barbarian camp to persuade him to surrender; Escorting prisoners, etc., everything was carried out in an orderly manner under the command of Wei Kai and Zhao Wutang.

Before I knew it, it was already late at night, and on the battlefield during the day, in addition to the smell of gunpowder and the thick smell of blood, there were no imperial soldiers for a long time.

In the Lushui camp of the imperial army, after a daytime battle, Wei Kai's men and horses lost most of them, and even Wei Kai didn't need to add a new camp tent, which was already able to accommodate the three or four thousand soldiers and barbarian prisoners of the Xia Guiyi army.

There were still some voices in the camp under Wei Kai's command, although the victory was won, but the battle was a tragic victory, and the soldiers were not in the mood to celebrate. But there are still whispers in private, and if they win this battle, what reward will they get; Next, where are they going; Are there any pensions for the families of those brothers who died......

But in the camp of the Guiyi Army, it is now silent, and no sound can be heard. Because of the long journey and the participation in the Lushui War, the soldiers were already tired and exhausted, and they had fallen into a deep sleep.

Several generals of the Guiyi Army gathered in Zhao Wutang's tent and listened to Zhao Wutang's account of the day's events.

After hearing this, the generals were filled with righteous indignation, and they all shouted that they wanted to break the rabbit cub in Wucheng into pieces. Especially Feng Hua, the short-tempered general of the pro-guard battalion, was even more eager to try, and almost pulled out his knife.

"That son of a bastard, I have not skinned him and torn off his tendons to comfort my brethren in his spirit."

Looking at the impatient Feng Hua, Zhao Wutang slowly spoke: "Stop, this Wu Cheng is the prison army, the emperor's person, the general doesn't dare to touch him, how can you kill him." Take a step back and say, if you really kill him, not only will your head be lost, but my righteous army will also suffer.

Do you want me to add a few more souls to the rebels? Do you think that there are not enough brothers who have died in my rebels? Do you want me to return to the rebels and fall into a situation from which they will never recover? ”

Zhao Wutang's three sharp questions were like a slap in the face, waking Feng Hua up. Feng Hua sat down helplessly, his eyes full of unwillingness.

"So what the hell is going on with this matter, is that it?" Feng Hua asked.

At this time, Liao Yong spoke: "Since the general tied up Wu Cheng, it means that the general also hates him very much, there is no doubt about this. The point is, after that, the general will definitely hand him over to the emperor, and what the emperor will do with him. ”

"In my opinion, it is better for me to write a petition to declare to the emperor the attitude of my Guiyi Army towards Wu Cheng." Li Shan said.

The generals talked a lot, but they didn't see Zhao Wutang frowning and not saying a word.

Seeing that Mo Feng didn't speak, Li Shan asked, "General Mo, what do you think?" ”

Mo Feng didn't answer, just put a finger to his lips and made a quiet motion, signaling them to be quiet.

He slowly walked towards Zhao Wutang and asked, "Uncle Zhao, are you doubting whether the Great General is knowing about this and letting Wu Cheng do these things, and then pretending not to know anything?" ”

"Feng'er, ...... you" Zhao Wutang paused, but before Zhao Wutang could finish speaking, Mo Feng knew what he was going to say later.

"I know that Uncle Zhao must have this suspicion, not only Uncle Zhao, but also when I heard you talk about this just now.

As you must know, our Guiyi Army is a general who was transferred from Hanzhong in order to quell the rebellion in the southwest. If you are worried that you are an old minister of the first emperor, then let the Guiyi army in Hanzhong. Hanzhong is an important place for soldiers, and even if Xianbei Hu and the orcs use the Hanzhong defenders as a pawn for political considerations this time, they will inevitably be able to tell when they will really attack next time. At that time, the war broke out, and the Guiyi army did not still suffer heavy casualties, and perhaps the whole army might be wiped out, so why bother so much to transfer the Guiyi army to the southwest to quell the chaos!

Also, I don't know if Uncle Zhao has noticed the general's expression after telling you about this today, I guess it should be full of guilt. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that when he returns to the battlefield and directs the soldiers to deal with the aftermath, the general's eyes will still look here from time to time.

Perhaps, Uncle Zhao, you will think that Wei Kai pretended to do these things, but there is no reason for him to do these things. ”

Mo Feng said this, it naturally makes sense, if the expression of being a thief is really pretended by Wei Kai, then his acting skills can go to win the Oscar. If he was really so smart, then during the period of the martial Emperor Shenwu, he should have been valued by the Emperor Shenwu, who loved martial arts, and he would never have been promoted by Zhao Wutang to become a captain of the Imperial Forest Military Academy later.

"Then Feng'er, what you mean is that the general doesn't know anything about this matter, so why didn't he refute Wu Cheng when he made those suggestions?"

"Uncle Zhao, Rong Feng'er asks you a question, why did you promote the general in the first place?" Mo Feng didn't answer Zhao Wutang's question.

Although Zhao Wutang was very curious about why Mo Feng asked such a question, he still answered: "Because Wei Kai is a person with very strong execution ability, and he doesn't have much scheming, and he is very approachable and righteous towards the soldiers. What's more, he is very adamant about his principles. Back then, even when I promoted him, he never stammered me. When Zhao Wutang said these words, he instantly understood why Mo Feng asked this question.

With Wei Kai's personality and being in such a position as the captain of the Imperial Forest Army, of course it was easy to attract Ling Tianmu's attention. Therefore, when Ling Tianmu ascended the throne, Wei Kai was able to be promoted step by step and achieve the position of a general. He has been able to get to this point because he is loyal, obedient, and never forms a party for personal gain. This is the general that Ling Tianmu needs, a general who can faithfully carry out his orders.

Seeing that Zhao Wutang's brows were slightly relaxed, Mo Feng smiled and continued: "As for saying that the general did not refute Wu Cheng's suggestion, but why did the general refute it, he has no reason to refute it. Because those suggestions should have been specially made to the general by Wu Cheng after he figured out his weaknesses. ”

"Weakness? What are the weaknesses? ”

Mo Feng glanced at Zhao Wutang and glanced at the generals present: "Perhaps, in the eyes of Uncle Zhao, it is not a weakness, and you are still proud of it." However, in the hearts of people like Wu Cheng, that is the weakness: emphasizing feelings and morality. ”

When Mo Feng said "Emphasizing feelings and emphasizing righteousness", everyone's faces unexpectedly had puzzled expressions.

"In the eyes of the generals, it is natural to emphasize feelings and morality, and the same is true for generals. Otherwise, the Guiyi Army would not have been transferred from Hanzhong. It is precisely because of the emphasis on feelings and righteousness that the general agreed to let us be the vanguard, and let us take the small road to attack Yizhou County, so that the Guiyi Army can make more contributions. In order to repay the kindness, to repay Uncle Zhao's promotion grace back then. ”

"Feng'er, you mean to say that the general wants to promote me."

"That's right, it's not just that I want to promote Uncle Zhao, but there may also be a layer of meaning that will allow you to break free from the whirlpool of competition for storage in Hanzhong. But he underestimated the words 'former emperor's former ministers'. In the eyes of that group of civil officials who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, there is no difference between the 'former ministers of the first emperor' and the remnants of the previous dynasty, especially Uncle Zhao, who is the minister of the humerus of the first emperor. Is such a man a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh when he is a ruler in the same dynasty as them, so they must be quick to get rid of him.

When they were in Hanzhong, they were not worried, because in the land of the four wars in Hanzhong, it was only a matter of time for the Guiyi army to disappear. And when the general transferred you to the southwest, they were restless. Therefore, if there is Wucheng today, there will be Sucheng, Zhangcheng, and Licheng tomorrow. ”

Hearing the words "former ministers of the first emperor", Zhao Wutang couldn't help but sigh. These four words, Wei Kai told him today, he himself said it, and now it came out of Mo Feng's mouth, and every time he said it, his heart was poked into a hole.

The rest of the generals were silent, the "former ministers of the first emperor" was the pain in Zhao Wutang's heart, and it was also the pain in their hearts.

"That is to say, we have no way to do anything about Wucheng now, we can only wait for the emperor to fall after returning to Chengdu!" Zhao Wutang immediately understood what Mo Feng meant.

"Yes, and it is inevitable to return to Chengdu, and it is also inevitable for those civil officials on the other side, and it is also inevitable to be troubled by them. I just ask that we, the emperor, will not get dazed after quelling the rebellion and listen to the words of those civil officials. ”

Although what Mo Feng said was very cruel, it was also a naked reality, he Zhao Wutang was both a military general and an old minister of the first emperor, and when he arrived in Chengdu, life would definitely be difficult. Zhao Wutang had a hard time, and the life of the Guiyi Army naturally wouldn't be easy.

"Then Feng'er, do you have any solution?"

Mo Feng shook his head, he was not an immortal with boundless mana: "For the future, I can only take one step at a time, and the soldiers will cover the water." A petition like what Captain Li said just now is also the most undesirable, which will only increase the emperor's wariness of us. Now we can only wait and see what happens.

There is only one point, if the emperor gives us the Guiyi army to replenish the troops, I hope Uncle Zhao can refuse. ”

Zhao Wutang nodded, he understood what Mo Feng meant, he was worried that someone would arrange for someone to join them to return to the righteous army. The fortress is always breached from within.

"It's just now...... Mo Feng smiled mysteriously, "Although we can't slaughter that turtle bastard surnamed Wu, it's okay to turn him into a giant panda." ”

"Panda?" The generals didn't understand what Mo Feng meant.

"Although you can't beat him too hard, it's good to beat him out of anger!" Hearing Mo Feng's words, the generals immediately turned overjoyed. Indeed, as long as you don't kill him, it doesn't hurt to hit him a few times.

In the dead of night, the sergeants had already fallen asleep, and several generals of the Guiyi Army came to the camp guarding Wucheng under the leadership of Mo Feng. The two gatekeepers outside the tent and a few of the generals of the Guiyi Army walked towards this side, and they couldn't help but put their hands on the hilts of their swords, but when they saw that several of them were unarmed, they also took their hands off and pretended to sleep.

When Mo Feng saw this scene, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, it seems that this person Wu Cheng is angry and complaining in the army, so he will be like a rat crossing the street like now, everyone shouts and beats! In the dark, "crackling" a few times, Wu Cheng cried wolf, and after the beating, several people immediately slipped away.

I only heard Wu Cheng in the tent shouting and scolding: "You two, how do you guard the door, why don't you ......know if someone comes in?"

After scolding for a while, Wu Cheng also shouted tired, and when he saw that the two soldiers outside ignored him, he simply fell asleep again. While sleeping, he cried in a low voice: "I'll endure it now, I've written down all of you people, and when I return to Chengdu, I'll see how I kill you." ”
