Chapter 297: By the King's Order
After a while, the guard went and returned, and said to Liu Quan with a smile on his face: "Lord Captain is waiting in the tent, general, please." β
Hearing this, Liu Quan didn't say a word, and with a group of people, he was ready to go straight in.
"Huh? General, what do you mean by going in with so many soldiers and horses......"
"You get out of here!"
Liu Quan pushed the guard away with one palm, put his left hand on the handle of the saber at his waist, strode meteor, and rampaged.
They were the Central Army, and they came to the county army camp, but the county army guards didn't know what was going on, and they didn't dare to stop them.
Soon, Liu Quan came to the big tent with a group of people, he asked his subordinates to wait outside, and he himself directly entered the curtain.
In the tent, He Yong, the captain of the military academy, was drinking wine with a group of county army generals, and when he saw Liu Quan, He Yong raised his eyebrows, put down the wine glass in his hand and asked, "This is General Liu who came to report from the guards before, right?" β
"It's the last general." Joining the military academy, if he is transferred to serve in the Central Army, he will be the commander of the corps, and his rank will be greater than Liu Quan, so in the face, he still calls himself the last general.
"Come on, come on, General Liu, come over and have two drinks together, come on, show General Liu a seat-" He Yong said, he didn't know what Liu Quan was here for, but in his mind, Liu Quan was from Pingyang County, and he should have wanted to come to visit the mountain when he returned to his hometown to visit relatives this time.
But Liu Quan said directly: "No need! The last general didn't come to drink with the general this time! β
Seeing that his tone was indifferent, and the pestle was very much an eyesore there, He Yong couldn't help frowning, and said with some displeasure: "What does General Liu mean?" β
Liu Quan ignored him, but took out a silk book from his bosom, unfolded it, and read it aloud:
"The king's edict to immediately arrest He Yong and other generals of the county army!"
A simple sentence, but everyone present was shocked! After Liu Quan finished reading, he closed the silk book and shouted:
"Take it!"
As he spoke, the central sergeants outside the tent stepped inside.
"Someoneβ"
At the same time, the generals of the county army who were sitting in their seats also stood up at once, and they all held down the hilt of their swords with one hand!
"I'll see who dares to move!" A county army general glared and shouted.
At this time, there was also a riot outside the tent, first hundreds of central troops surrounded the big tent, and then countless county troops surrounded the central army.
Hearing the movement outside, Liu Quan's face became more and more indifferent, looked around, and said in a cold voice: "Are you going to rebel!?" β
Hearing this, He Yong and the generals of the county army all swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and several people silently put their right hands off the hilt of the knife, and one of them said loudly: "Under the rule of the king, who dares to rebel?" It's just that for no reason, such an edict came out, I can't believe it! β
He Yong also smiled dryly: "Hehe...... General Liu can't be joking, right? β
"Who is kidding you!" As Liu Quan spoke, he stretched out his hand and handed the edict to He Yong.
The latter took it, unfolded it, and saw that the end was stamped with the king's seal, and he was immediately dumbfounded!
Immediately after, he knelt on the ground with a puff and said in a trembling voice, "This ...... This...... I'm not guilty, General Liu, is the king mistaken......"
He Yong was also a veteran low-level general who had made some military exploits, otherwise, he would not have been able to join the military academy, his loyalty to Lu Chen is still beyond doubt, and the mistakes he made were not in this regard.
Seeing him kneeling, several other generals of the county army were also stunned.
"Take them all!" At this time, Liu Quan shouted again.
In an instant, those central sergeants stepped forward in unison, one by one, and tied up all the generals of the county army.
Now that it has been confirmed that this is the real royal order, how dare He Yong and his gang resist, and while being tied up, people also shouted one after another:
"I'm not guilty! Why did the king arrest me and wait......"
"We are wronged! We want to see the king......"
Soon, Liu Quan took a group of bound county army generals out of the camp tent, and saw that the inner and outer three layers surrounded outside were all county soldiers, he looked around with cold eyes, and said in a loud voice:
"Arrest He Yong and others by the king's order! Who would dare to stop it!? β
Wow β
In a word, let all the county soldiers retreat directly, and the encirclement was dispersed in an instant.
Lu Chen secretly ordered Liu Quan, first arrested the generals of the county army, don't look at Liu Quan only brought a few hundred people, but later, I don't know how many central troops there are! Fortunately, He Yong did not resist by force at that time, otherwise, a large number of other central armies would definitely be wiped out!
At this time, inside the county capital.
He Yong and the others felt that they were wronged and wanted to see Lu Chen, and they also saw it at this time.
Looking at Lu Chen, who was sitting above, He Yong and the generals of the county army knelt on the ground all of a sudden, He Yong kowtowed again and again and said:
"Great king, great king, minister, minister is faithful, minister is not guilty......"
"What a dutiful one!" Lu Chen laughed angrily, and said coldly: "If you are not guilty, will this king have people arrest you?" β
Without waiting for He Yong to answer, Lu Chen followed up and said, "This king asks you, what are your responsibilities as a military captain!?" β
"Yes...... It's to keep the peace of the place......" He Yong stammered.
"That's a good point!" Lu Chen slapped the table on his side, pointed at He Yong's nose and scolded: "He Yong! Do you know that your duty is to keep the land safe!? Then you tell this king! A few days ago, what happened to the soldiers opening the way!? β
"If the people were too quick to give way, they were beaten by the county army! Is this what you call a duty!? Yes!? β
"Who gave you so much power!?"
"And! In the north of the city, who is building a mansion, and can actually let the county army act as a people's husband! Carry bricks and wood with him! Do you still have a king in your eyes? Our army, is it your private! β
Yes!? Hearing Lu Chen's successive questions, He Yong panicked all of a sudden, he didn't expect that the king actually knew everything.
Seeing his frightened appearance, Lu Chen smiled angrily: "He Yong! What else do you have to say now! Has this king wronged you again!? β
"King! The king spares his life! The king, Weichen knew that he was wrong, and the king was kind...... "At this time, He Yong also knew the seriousness of the matter, he never thought that the king would suddenly appear in Pingzhou, and he knew these things so clearly, at this time, he didn't shout any wrongs, but began to beg for mercy.
"This king asks you, is the mansion to be built in the north of the city the one that belongs to Lieutenant General Wang Yan?" Lu Chen said.
"Yes...... Yes......"
"Wang Yan is a lieutenant general, this king remembers, he should have a mansion, right?" Lu Chen asked again.
"Yes, yes......"
"Then why spend so much gold and silver to build another mansion!?"
"This ......"
"Say!"
"Huh? Yes, yes, back to the king, that's ...... It was built for General Wang's concubine......"
