Li Chong sat in front of the case, holding the long case with his hand so that he didn't let himself collapse, his face was pale, he never thought that someone would see him being stopped by Liang Jun among the soldiers in Shuzhou with him.

This also made his previous statement full of mistakes and omissions.

Of course, what made him even more desperate was that Li Zhihe was determined to expose his actions, and more than a dozen soldiers who fled were under Li Zhihe's control, so even if he could make up arguments to defend himself, he could not withstand scrutiny and questioning at all.

"You son of a, the Li family is full of loyalty, and your face has been lost by you!"

Seeing this scene, how could Lip not know everything about the matter?

He trembled with anger, stood up and raised his foot and kicked his son Li Chongdang's chest, kicking Li Chong with four feet to the sky, and then turned Tie Qing's face around, glanced at Li Zhihe as if he was chopping, sighed, and said with resentment,

"Your wings are stiff, we useless guys, it's time to make room for you."

With that, Lipp walked straight out of the tent.

Li Qian hesitated for a moment, and saw Li Xiu get up with his hand on the long case, and then got up to leave, but he didn't bother to look at Li Chong.

Although they did not witness Li Chong being captured by the Liang army, when they broke through Zhongli City, they saw the Xuanjia cavalry ambushed at the foot of Ya Mountain come out, Li Chong was afraid to fight to the death with the enemy, and chose to flee in the direction of the southeast gap as soon as possible.

At that time, if it weren't for Gao Chengyuan's desperate fight, if Han Qian hadn't just sent a team of elites to respond, not only would the remnants of the Navy Division be wiped out, but their flanks would also be very likely to be raided by the Xuanjia Cavalry.

Li Chong did not mention the enemy's cowardice, but if Li Chong had not been killed or captured at that time, he should have fought his way out of the encirclement in the east or southeast.

The first is that Li Chong was not riddled with injuries or illnesses in the midst of the tragic battle, and with his skills, it would not be too difficult to pass through the enemy's blockade line alone, and he should not stay there for a long time in Hongzepu and Shiliang County.

Second, even if he encountered extremely unfortunate circumstances, the periphery of the hiding place was full of enemy reconnaissance horses, and he could not get out for a while, but after the enemy's encirclement was relaxed, with Li Chong's greedy and fearful disposition, even if he directly entered the territory of Huaidong to ask for help from Xinwang Yang Yuanyan, it was unlikely that he would risk passing through the hinterland controlled by the Shouzhou army and rushing directly to Shuzhou to meet them.

Li Xiu and Li Qi actually suspected that Li Chong's escape was in doubt for a long time, but they did not mention these suspicions, and even for the sake of the face of the Changguo Mansion, they did not mention Li Chong's cowardice and fear of the enemy from beginning to end.

And Li Pu walked away at this time, and they also understood that their uncle (father) somewhat resented Li Zhihe's "righteous annihilation" in his heart, and resented him for not covering up for Li Chong.

Otherwise, just confirming that the two soldiers were bought by the Liang army would be enough to give Han Qian an explanation, and there was no need to reveal the bloody face of the Changguo Mansion.

Although the current situation means that the Changguo Mansion will be more severely held accountable and questioned by the imperial court afterwards, Li Xiu and Li Qi, as the sons and nephews of the Changguo Mansion, can only leave with them at this time.

This is filial piety, and they can't draw a clear line with the Changguo Mansion.

However, Zhou Shu and other generals who originally belonged to the Changguo Mansion sat still at this moment, just lowering their heads and not looking at Li Pu's resentful eyes when he left.

Li Chong fled to Shuzhou, and indulged the soldiers to spread remarks unfavorable to the Marquis of Qianyang, they all heard about it, but they did not make a noise, and they also hoped that when the imperial court investigated the responsibility for the destruction of the sailor and the right Shenwu army, they would be less implicated, after all, when Li Pu wrote to suggest that the sailor rush to attack Hongzepu, they were all subordinate support.

At the same time, they were more or less looking forward to the towering giant tree of the Changguo Mansion not to fall down easily.

And now, it seems that the towering giant tree of the Changguo Mansion is destined to fall down, and they are unwilling to be buried with the Changguo Mansion.

Yang En looked at Li Chong, who was almost collapsed to the ground, and sighed slightly in his heart, and said to Li Zhihe: "Is it to temporarily imprison Li Chong in the camp, and then deal with it after His Majesty plays Ming?" ”

"Since Yang Hou Ye said so, then he will be put in prison, but to explain His Majesty's affairs, I have to ask Yang Hou to work hard......" Li Zhihe arched his hand at Yang En and said.

"Okay, I'll go back and draft the excerpt, and when Li Hou is sure of it, I'll send someone to send the excerpt and the culprit to Beijing for trial early tomorrow morning." Yang En nodded in agreement.

The so-called concealment of relatives and relatives, no matter what, Li Zhihe could not openly carry out the matter of his stepbrother Li Chong's collaboration with the enemy, and no matter how righteous he killed his relatives, at most he could only do it secretly, and the imperial court would appoint another official to investigate his crime.

Yang En had no scruples in this regard, he directly went to the impeachment of the excerpt, and sent the excerpt and Li Chong and others to Beijing together, so that many twists and turns could be avoided and the incident could be quelled as quickly as possible.

Li Zhihe's face sank like water and motioned to the guards to drag Li Chong, who was like a dead dog, and the three suspects who were bloody, and Yang En and the other generals saw that there was nothing else to do, so they also temporarily resigned and returned to their camps.

Only Zhou Shu and Deng Tai remained in the big tent.

Zhou Shu and Zhou Yuan, the two brothers, between the rise of the camp in the early years, and Li Zhihe, Chai Jian, Chen Mingsheng and others were all generals in front of Li Yu's account, Li Yu gave up his military power and returned to the mountains, and his two brothers naturally served in front of Li Pu's tent in the Marquis of Xinchang.

It was only after this that they learned about the involvement of the Xinchang Marquis Mansion, the Late Red Mansion and the Shenling Division of the former dynasty, but at that time they were already deep in the mud and could not cut off the relationship with the Xinchang Marquis Mansion; They said that the wife who married and gave birth to an heir through Li Pu's matchmaking was the same as Su Hongyu and Chun Thirteen Niang, and they were all children cultivated by the Late Red Mansion.

Over the years, the three princes have ascended to the throne, and too many things have happened in the late Red Mansion and the Xinchang Marquis Mansion, and the two brothers actually don't have much choice, and more often they can only be tied to the Xinchang Marquis Mansion, that is, the Changguo Mansion at this time.

To say that Li Zhihe has a headache because he is elbowed and dragged down by too many people, let alone has any foundation of his own.

He has always been a retainer of the subordinate generals of the Marquis of Xinchang, and he has never been independent.

Even though he has been awarded an official and a general in the past few years, and has been given 20 household soldiers and more than 80 slaves and maids for meritorious service, the personal soldiers who serve as guards on weekdays and the generals who rely on him as his right-hand man are more directly from the elites cultivated and recruited by the Changguo Mansion over the years.

He was able to replace Du Chongtao as the commander of the Zuowu Guard, mainly because of the arrangement of the Empress Dowager Li Pupu, and the time was only more than half a year, far from cultivating his own henchmen in the army.

The vast majority of the military attachés and generals of the Zuo Wu Wei Army at this time are still cronies cultivated during the leadership of Du Chongtao, and he can only command the Zuo Wu Wei Army to charge into battle under the orders of the imperial court, not to mention that he can't expect these generals to blindly follow his orders, and even the generals who have followed him for many years, he can't confirm that there are a few people who really support him.

Just as no one could imagine that a high mountain would collapse with a bang, who could have imagined that the once-prosperous Changguo Mansion would be defeated so quickly?

Whether to collapse and bury with the Changguo Mansion, or gather in the shade of Li Zhihe and the late red mansion standing behind Li Zhihe to continue to enjoy the shade, this choice is really simple.

In fact, since the destruction of the main force of the Navy Division and Li Zhihe acted in Chaozhou under the edict of the Empress Dowager, he should have made a choice, but if he was too deeply involved in the Changguo Mansion and it was too difficult to sever the relationship, so that it was delayed until today, he did not seriously talk to Li Zhihe in private.

Li Zhihe was also busy reorganizing the troops and horses during this time, hurriedly rebuilding the defense of the Lujiang River and the front line of Beacon Mountain, without a moment's rest, and at the same time hoped that Li Pu could better cooperate with him, and did not want to act too hastily, and was not in a hurry to ask these people to express their positions, but he didn't want such a thing to happen.

The generals and Yang En retreated, and Zhou Shu stayed alone, and his mind was clear.

"If Grandpa Guo had trusted the commander early and entrusted him with great power, he would not have fallen into today's field. Although Zhou Shu is a martial artist, he only knows how to charge the trap with soldiers and horses, but he also knows that non-commanders cannot get the Changguo Mansion out of today's quagmire. From now on, if the commander has a life, if he frowns for a few weeks, five thunders will hit the top, and the family will be wiped out. Zhou Shu held his hand on the long case, leaned over and said.

Zhou Shu's attitude actually represents his brother Zhou Yuan, who served as the waiter of the Ministry of Works, and the two must have agreed on it, but no one expected the situation to develop like this.

"I have always regarded Brother Zhou as my brother, and this is a serious statement."

Li Zhihe was also very polite to the number of weeks, regardless of the depth of the number of weeks in the army, when the Dragon Bird Army first organized the infected people to be in the company, Zhou Shu and Chai Jian, Guo Liang, and Gao Chengyuan worshiped Du Yu Hou at the same time, and his prestige was stronger than Chen Mingsheng's generation, and he still relied on Zhou to grasp the military power of the Zuowu Guards in the future, which could be regarded as controlling the Huaixi Forbidden Army.

After saying this, Li Zhihe looked sad again, and after looking at it, Zhou Shu asked himself: "Is the commander worried that the court will investigate the responsibility of the prince for the defeat of the army, and will the commander be involved?" ”

"Your Majesty and the Queen Mother are clear about right and wrong, I'm not worried about this, it's just that Li Chong knows too many things, and if he really wants to be sent back to Jinling for trial together with the song fold according to what Marquis Yang said, I'm afraid that he will talk nonsense and make you, me and more people unbearable." Li Zhihe said.

Hearing Li Zhihe say this, Deng Tai, who was sitting on the side, was a little frightened.

"What do you mean?" Zhou asked hesitantly.

"If Li Chong still thinks that he is a child of the Li family, he should commit suicide in fear of sin, so as to save others from worrying about it—it's just that I and his brother have been talking to him all these years, and these words really shouldn't have been told to him in the past." Li Zhihe glanced at Zhou Shu with cold eyes and said.

"Weeks know what to do." Zhou Shu knew that the so-called effect would never stop at words, and after a bow, he would retire to do what he had to do.

Li Zhihe glanced at Deng Tai and motioned for him to follow the past and act in a convenient way......
