(Ask for a subscription and ask for a commuter pass.) ）

From the first time they met, Meng Shenglun showed kindness and enthusiasm to Xu Ji, and very calmly admitted that he was not a material to lead troops, and was willing to be a peacemaker to appease the children of the Seven Clans and eliminate Xu Ji's worries.

Xu Ji never imagined that Meng Shenglun would do such a thing as slaughtering a general, and he would not reveal a word in advance.

At the moment of the great enemy, Wu Jun cut off an arm.

Xu Ji was shocked and angry, forgot the pain on his body, and walked in front of Meng Shenglun, "You ......"

Meng Senglun knelt down, "Everything is my idea, and it is also my hand, it has nothing to do with others, please punish most of them." ”

The dozen or so guards behind him also knelt down and claimed that they were the masterminds.

Xu Ji suppressed the anger in his heart and sighed, "General Meng is loyal, but you have broken military discipline and cannot be forgiven." ”

"The last general does not ask for forgiveness, but only for the peace and security of the Metropolitan Governor in the army."

Xu Ji sighed again and said to Tang Weitian: "Please ask General Bao to come." Then he said to Meng Seng Lun: "Get up and take me to see it." ”

"The Governor ......"

"I'm not a kid hiding behind others, there are generals who die because of me, how can I avoid it?"

"Yes."

Meng Seng Lun led the way, and everyone hugged Xu Ji out of the tent.

The soldiers in the camp were happily showing off their rewards, and when they saw Xu Ji approaching, they bowed from a distance, and after this battle, they had already been in awe of the young commander.

The killing took place in a tent, and the seven leaders with the surname were lying on the ground, most of them had their necks wiped off, and it seemed that they had not struggled, and Meng Shenglun planned it extremely accurately, and did not attract any attention when he killed him.

Xu Ji looked at it for a while, and then a wave of anger surged in his heart, and he forcibly held it back and ordered: "Tear down the tent." ”

"Tear down the tent and the people outside will see ......"

"Can this kind of thing be hidden?"

"There are still many small leaders in the tenth battalion with the surname of Xiao, at least he must be supervised." Meng Shenglun has to persuade again.

Xu Ji gave an order directly to the guards, and the guards did not dare to disobey and dismantled the tents with all hands and feet.

Xu Ji stood outside, Bao Dun hurriedly ran over, and arched his hand: "The military reward has been distributed, it is recorded in the register, and the governor of the capital ......."

Seeing the seven bodies under the tent, Bowdon was shocked.

More and more people found the corpses, the children of the Seven Clans were fine, but the soldiers surnamed Xiao were shocked, everyone shouted, asking what was going on, and more and more people surrounded them.

Xu Ji didn't let the guards follow, and walked alone to the soldiers surnamed Xiao, as soon as he arrived, everyone avoided it, and the shouts gradually subsided.

"I know that some people are dissatisfied with me and want me to die." Xu Ji said in a loud voice.

The soldier with the surname muttered, not knowing whether to defend or admit.

"Golden Dao Liu wanted to do it yesterday, but when Jiang Long saw that the matter was revealed, he fled on his own, and many people saw it."

One of the soldiers spoke, "Is the Governor here to take revenge on us?" ”

Xu Ji raised his arm and continued: "Just this morning, when the camp of officers and soldiers was attacked, the jack scale wanted to cut off my head and send it to the government for a reward. ”

Compared with the first two, the prestige of the jack scale is higher, this night attack, the Wu army suffered few casualties, and the jack scale died inexplicably, which has already aroused the suspicion of the soldiers with the surname of the small surname, and now the truth is revealed.

"The Governor killed the jack scale?"

Xu Ji took off his shirt a few times, revealing bruises all over his body, "It was he who almost killed me." ”

Everyone exclaimed, Tang Wei stepped forward for the sky, held a stick and said loudly: "I killed the jack scale, who is not convinced?" ”

No one squeaked.

Xu Ji put on his clothes, turned to look at the seven corpses, and then turned to the soldier surnamed Xiao, "Those three are not the only ones who want me to die. ”

Although the leaders of the 10th battalion with the surname are not subordinate to each other, and there are often open and secret battles, they can often be consistent with the outside world, and the three people such as the jack scale have the highest status, and their plans, the other seven people usually participate.

The soldier surnamed Xiao was still confused, but he was no longer angry, and said: "If they really have different intentions, they should be killed, but we have no second heart for the Metropolitan Governor." ”

"There are no two minds." The people and the Word.

Xu Ji didn't let Tang Weitian follow, and walked a few steps into the crowd, completely trapped in the middle of the soldiers with the surname of Xiao, "Qianjin Scales and others want to seize the position of the Metropolitan Governor, but if they can't be promoted, they will be murderous, who else wants to be the Metropolitan Governor?" ”

Everyone shook their heads.

"So I trust you." Xu Ji patted a few people on the shoulder, turned around and walked out of the crowd.

Meng Shenglun was looking at the Metropolitan Governor with concern, and the knife was unsheathed to be prepared.

Xu Ji also stared at him, sighed in his heart, and was angry for a while, and stopped: "This is our Wu army's camp, everyone's place for self-preservation, as long as the camp is there, everyone will be safe." Therefore, whatever the reason, it is not permissible to kill people at will in the camp, and it is not allowed. Swords and guns should be used on the battlefield, killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions, killing one's own people, but cowardice. ”

Meng Shenglun and the guards who participated in the killing showed shame.

"Meng Shenglun, are you guilty?"

Meng Seng Lun put down the knife and arched his hand: "It was I who took the initiative to kill the seven leaders, and did not ask the Metropolitan Governor for instructions, the crime deserves death, please kill me to calm the hearts of the people." ”

Xu Ji said to Bao Dun: "General Bao is under the guardianship of the whole army, according to the theory of military law, what crime should Meng Shenglun and others be?" ”

said that it was military law, but there was not even a ready-made provision, and Bao Dun was not born in the army, so how could he understand military law? But he guarded the city for many days, and set some rules for himself, so he said: "Deliberately killing people in the camp should be punished with death, but these seven people have bad intentions, and there is a reason for killing them - General Meng can atone for his crimes, and the others will act according to orders, not guilty, but take the reward." ”

Xu Ji nodded, "Meng Shenglun was removed from all positions and punished with hard labor for one month, and the others were not guilty." I am the Metropolitan Governor, and I am guilty of connivance, so I should give way to think about it......"

"By no means, the enemy is now, how can the Metropolitan Governor give way?" Everyone immediately objected, and even the soldiers with the surname did not agree.

Bao Dun said: "The governor of the capital is indeed at fault, but it is meritorious to break the enemy, and the two cancel each other, and the military reward can be confiscated and distributed to the family of the deceased." ”

Xu Ji just made a gesture and nodded: "Okay, for the time being, everyone will go and rest, and we will talk about it tomorrow morning." ”

The crowd dispersed, and Xu Ji and Bao Dun patrolled the camp and rearranged the guards to ensure that everything was in order.

Xu Ji was worried that after the news spread, it would cause riots in the city, so he asked Bao Dun to return to the city to pacify him and stay in the camp outside the town.

Meng Senglun knelt in front of Xu Ji's tent, motionless, and several generals of the Seven Clans stood nearby and talked in a whisper, and immediately shut up when they saw the Grand Governor.

Xu Ji went straight into the account.

Song Xingju followed up and arched his hand: "Although General Meng is guilty of uninvited, it is to save the Metropolitan Governor from future troubles, just don't reward it, there is no need to ......"

Xu Ji asked, "Does General Song think that the Wu army can defeat the officers and soldiers?" ”

"We just won one, everyone's morale is high, at least seven or eight points chance of winning."

"The night attack is a strange plan, the two armies have not clashed, if you have a hard fight with the officers and soldiers of the brigade tomorrow, what are the odds of victory?"

Song Xingju had to admit, "The odds are not great." ”

"The Wu army's foothold is not stable, and the enemy is currently strong, and there is no chance of victory, but Meng Seng Lun killed the generals at this time, which made the ten battalions of the small surname suspicious, and the merits and demerits can be offset?"

Song Xingci bowed his head and was silent.

"If you are united, you will be strong, and if you are divided, you still don't understand this truth."

"In case of misfortune, the majority of the governors die at the hands of the leader of the small surname, and the Wu army will inevitably disperse, which is 'division is weak'."

"There are priorities, rewards and punishments must be clear, the small surname of the ten battalions has a large number of people, it is the main force of the Wu army, and it can only be won over at the moment, not to make it suspicious. As for the desire to kill me, everyone may have it, and if they are all eliminated indiscriminately, how many people will be left in my account? ”

"General Meng and I will definitely be the remainder, but I understand what the Metropolitan Governor means." Song Xingju arched his hand, "The seven clans are connected, one person is guilty, everyone is responsible, I am willing to hand over the reward I received this time, not to atone for my sins, but to show shame." ”

"We'll talk about it tomorrow." Xu Ji was in pain, tired in his heart, and didn't want to be entangled anymore.

Song Xingju retired.

Xu Ji sat on the bed, and the enthusiasm of his self-reliance cooled down a little for the first time, but he had no intention of admitting defeat, and muttered: "There is always a way, there is always a way......"

"yes, there will be a way." A voice said.

Xu Ji was startled, and stretched out his hand to draw his knife, "You, why are you here?" ”

Zhou Lu came out of the corner, there was only a small oil lamp lit in the tent, it was very dim, he stood in the shadows, and no one noticed it, "The Governor of the Metropolitan asked me to bring it here, remember?" ”

Meng Shenglun created an accident, and everyone was attracted to the past and forgot about Zhou Lu.

"Ah, sit down."

Zhou Lu pulled a small stool and sat down far away, his legs together, and he smiled.

Tang Wei broke in in a hurry, he had previously gone out of the camp to investigate the enemy's situation, and he had just returned, "The officers and soldiers did not move. This kid is a prisoner of officers and soldiers, how can he stay here? I'll take him away. ”

Zhou Lu looked at Xu Ji with a sincere face.

"Leave him behind, you go and rest first."

"But what if he wants to assassinate the Grand Duke?"

Zhou Lu shook his head vigorously and denied it, and Xu Ji said: "Don't be afraid, he can't beat me." ”

"Okay." Tang Weitian walked out of the tent and did not go to rest, but stood outside and guarded.

Facing Zhou Lu, Xu Ji didn't know what to say, and yawned, "You won't do it while I'm sleeping, right?" ”

"No, no, how dare I." Zhou Lu immediately said.

Xu Ji took off his boots, folded his clothes and lay down, unable to sleep, angry and unbearable to Meng Seng Lun.

The oil lamp went out, the tent was dark, and Zhou Lu sat on a small stool, still not daring to move.

"This is the barracks, you can find a place to lie down." Xu Jidao.

"I'm fine, I'm not tired, I'm not sleepy." Zhou Lu let out a long breath, as if he had been pardoned, and after a moment of silence, he said, "The Metropolitan Governor...... You want to be an emperor in the future, right? ”

"Can't I?"

"Yes, of course I can, now anyone can be the emperor, especially the Metropolitan Governor, our Zhou family is willing to protect the Metropolitan Governor."

Xu Ji laughed, Dongyang Hou is a veteran, but he will not protect him, as for Zhou Lu, it is useless.

Zhou Lu showed his loyalty upside down, Xu Ji didn't listen, and he was thinking about how to deal with people like Meng Shenglun when other heroes met: Xue Liujia must have picked up a stick and beat him randomly, and after the beating, he was like no one else, he should drink and drink, and he should laugh and laugh; Shen Tan...... Presumably outwardly angry and convicted, and then secretly let Meng Senglun escape; Ma Wei is likely to kill Meng Seng Lun to calm the hearts of the army; Ningbaoguan - Xu Ji thought about it and felt that in the Ningbaoguan camp, this kind of thing would not happen at all.

“…… General Guan is the old department of the general, and he ...... to your Lou family," Zhou Lu was still nagging.

"What did you say?"

"Huh?"

"You said General Guan?"

"That's right, the commander of the officers and soldiers is the general Guan Changling, if you know that the governor here is the seventeenth prince, maybe you don't have to fight."

It is definitely going to be fought, but Xu Ji came up with an idea, and he didn't have to be tough.
