Li Xiantong said with a smile: "When the two states of the Shuo Dynasty fell before, there were many deserters under the command of Cao Huaishun and Dou Huaichou. Not only did they not defend the city and resist the enemy army, but on the contrary, they also degenerated into soldiers and bandits, plundering villages everywhere and causing trouble to the people of the Tang Dynasty. This envoy joined the army as the governor of the prefecture and was responsible for investigating these matters. ”

Cheng Wuting couldn't check his pulse for a while, and asked cautiously: "Under the command of this general, there is no deserter!" ”

"Of course I know that. General Cheng's command is full of brave and fierce loyal people, and the name of evil comes from the world! Li Xiantong said with a smile, "General Cheng, why don't you be patient and listen to the envoy finish speaking?" ”

"You say!"

"Okay." Li Xiantong was still not in a hurry and was more gentle, and said, "This envoy was ordered to investigate the case of desertion, and he caught a lot of black sheep bits and pieces. It is these miscellaneous things that have ruined the reputation of my Tang Dynasty guards and caused an extremely bad impact among the people. ”

Cheng Wuting listened with his temperament, and scolded this son of a son of a bitch for talking a lot of nonsense!

"If it were just a few sporadic deserters, the envoy would not have made a big fuss. But not long ago, I found a big case! Li Xiantong suddenly changed his words, his voice also increased, and he said loudly: "Li Duozuo, the right guard Zhonglang, connived at hundreds of deserters!" Not only did he conceal the bad deeds of these people as deserters and harm the people, but he also dared to ask for military merits for these deserters! ”

Cheng Wuting's face changed slightly, and he didn't dare to intervene because he didn't know the truth, but muttered in his heart: Li Duozuo is a loyal person, how could he do such a thing?

"I know that General Daocheng is suspicious. However, the evidence in this case is conclusive. Li Xiantong said: "Li Duozuo is also a general, and he is also the son of the chief who led the Ya tribe to submit to the Tang Dynasty, and he is the queen of the famous family. If it weren't for the iron case, how would the envoy dare to wronged him, how could he dare to be easily detained by him? ”

Cheng Wu was shocked, "You detained Li Duozuo?!" ”

"Of course." Li Xiantong had a "surprised" expression, "According to the military law of the Tang Dynasty, desertion is a big crime, and it is a capital crime for soldiers and bandits to harm the people!" If anyone shelters and shields such a person, he will be guilty of the same crime! ——Li Duozuo connived at and shielded hundreds of this soldier and bandit in one go, and the envoy did not take him into custody for interrogation, wouldn't it be a blasphemy against the law and military orders? ”

"You! ......" Cheng Wuting was really angry, "When the two armies were about to fight against the enemy, you detained the general and destroyed the wall!" Li Xiantong, did you collude with the Turks?! ”

"My Li family is a royal clan, and the country of the Tang Dynasty is our home, how can I collude with foreign enemies to bring disaster to my family?" Li Xiantong laughed a few times, and his eyes suddenly became very cold, "General Cheng, you still have to pay attention to a little bit of proportion when you speak." Even though I would have been broad-minded and didn't care about many of your excesses, this kind of thing was too damning. If I really want to use the topic to play, I can directly sue you to the Yushitai! ”

"......" Cheng Wuting swallowed a sigh of resentment, and bowed with his fists, "Fang is my speech, don't blame you!" ”

"It's okay, it's okay!" Li Xiantong seemed to be very generous and smiled and waved his hand, and said, "Li Duozuo's detention is indeed an iron case. He took the old uniforms in his army and replaced them with deserters who he had abandoned to disguise their deserters. If you don't want people to know, you can't do it unless you do. The envoy checked a little, and the truth was exposed. ”

Cheng Wuting was a little impatient, "So what's the matter with me?" What military affairs did you come to my Shuozhou to do? Say! ”

"It's not about Cheng Jiang's military. However, the matter of Guanshuozhou. Li Xiantong's eyes narrowed, and he lowered his voice and said, "I interrogated those deserters, and someone confessed that it was a person named Chengyu who instructed them to collude with Li Duozuo to clear their names and defraud military merits!" ”

"What?!" Cheng Wuting's eyes widened, and he really pointed the finger at him!

"It seems that General Cheng and this person named Chengyu are very familiar?" Li Xiantong said with a smile, "Li Duozuo abused his power and promoted him to be a brigade commander. Three months ago, he left Bingzhou with his people and came to Shuozhou, which was guarded by General Cheng. I suspect that he was afraid that the matter would be revealed, so he absconded to the Shuozhou border, and once the incident happened, he would flee to the northern grasslands and commit treason to the enemy. That's why I quietly came to General Cheng for help, and it was best to quietly hand this person over to me for interrogation. I suspect he's a Turkic envoy with a top-secret mission! ”

"Nonsense!" Cheng Wuting shouted, "This person is very loyal and brave, and he is definitely a first-class Tang guard!" ”

"Whether it's or not, you'll find out when you look it up." Li Xiantong said with a smile, "Regardless of the detailed things, conniving and shielding deserters is definitely an ironclad case. This person is behind the scenes and directs Li Duozuo to act, and he is the culprit. If General Cheng can help me capture this person and bring it back, it will be a great achievement. After I return to the state, I will immediately urge the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to send rescue troops as soon as possible, regardless of all difficulties! ”

"......" Cheng Wuting bit his teeth and bones, and he completely understood what Li Xiantong meant.

Li Xiantong, this is using "rescue" as a condition, and he wants to coerce him Cheng Wuting to start together - kill Xue Shao!

"Li Xiantong!!" Cheng Wuting shouted violently, "You are planting a blame, communiqué personal vendetta!" ”

"Where do you start?" Li Xiantong made a 'stunned' statement, "A piece of evidence is conclusive, does Li dare to wronged hundreds of people and wronged a general like Li Duozuo?" He is a very important confidant of Marshal Pei, and soon Marshal Pei will arrive in person, if I don't have ironclad evidence, how will I explain? - Moreover, there is no way to talk about personal vendettas. Who am I sorry for? ”

"Less!" Cheng Wuting was very annoyed and said, "Chengyu is Xue Shao, Xue Shao is Chengyu!" You had a holiday with Xue Shao, so you wanted to take this opportunity to cut off his life! ”

"Ha Lu Ha!" Li Xiantong laughed and laughed so unexpectedly, "It seems that General Cheng was also deceived together!" ”

Cheng Wu was taken aback, "What do you mean?" ”

"What I mean is that the person named Chengyu is not Xue Shao himself at all." Li Xiantong said seriously and with great certainty, "That's just a house slave in Xue Shao's family, who used to be a reckless hero who crisscrossed the green forest, had some martial arts, and learned some art of war. Didn't Xue Shao worship Marshal Pei as a teacher before, and Marshal Pei wanted to send him as a pawn on this expedition, so that he could taste all the hardships in the army and do more experience. Who is Xue Shao? When he was young, he was a pampered Tiangong nobleman, and he saw that he was going to marry Princess Taiping and become the most prominent and noble horse master in the Tang Dynasty. How could he possibly come and endure such military suffering? Even if he was willing, Princess Taiping would not allow his lover to endure these hardships! ”

"So, he quietly played a trick with Marshal Pei and let his house slave join the army instead of him."

Cheng Wuting was taken aback, "Really? ”

Li Xiantong's words aroused his suspicion a little. Speaking of which, how can a gentleman like Xue Shao be proficient in military affairs, dare to endure hardships, and be so ruthless in training and using soldiers?

"Of course it's true." Li Xiantong said, "General Cheng, Xue Shao and I are colleagues, I know him very well, and I know him very well. Now, he should be hiding with Princess Taiping, and enjoying the glory and wealth of Chang'an. The person called 'Chengyu' pretended to be Xue Shao everywhere to deceive, and this was even more of a big case. Therefore, the envoy must arrest him immediately, lest he continue to cause trouble and ruin the reputation of the royal family! ”

Cheng Wuting blinked his eyes and thought about it carefully, I remembered when I heard Li Xiantong say the word 'colleague', and the dog Cheng Qizhi and Xue Shao were also colleagues - he had absolutely no reason to lie to me!

That's Xue Shao, it really can't be more real!

Of course, Li Xiantong also knew that it was the real Xue Shao, but he just pretended to be confused and didn't admit it, just to arrest the real Xue Shao as a fake Xue Shao and ask for the crime, using military law!

I almost fell for Li Xiantong's tricks!!

"General Cheng, this person is extremely evil, and he is definitely a huge hidden danger in your Shuozhou!" Li Xiantong said, "Hurry up and hand him over to me and let me take him away!" ”

Cheng Wu smiled very hehe, "I want to make it." ”

Li Xiantong was stunned, "What does General Cheng mean?" ”

Cheng Wuting told Li Xiantong that Xue Shao had gone to attack Heisha by surprise.

Li Xiantong didn't believe it at first, then was surprised, and then laughed.

A hundred people, a surprise attack on the black sand?

It's good, it's good. Dying at the hands of the Turks is the most trouble-free!

"Then, if he comes back, please General Cheng must take it down and hand it over to the envoy. Don't cover up with him anymore and be guilty of the same sin as him! After Li Xiantong finished speaking with a smile, he got up and was about to leave, "The envoy has left!" "Wait!" Cheng Wuting stretched out his hand to stop, "Reinforcements, how do you say it?" ”

Li Xiantong smiled, "I will try my best to help General Cheng and fight for it." ”

"Fight?" Cheng Wu snorted, "Who the hell doesn't know that you are Li Chongyi's own grandson, you fight for a fart, it's obviously perfunctory to me!" ”

The generals around Cheng Wuting had already endured countless anger in their hearts, and they couldn't hold it back anymore. He let out a roar of anger and rushed forward to chop Li Xiantong!

"Here, do it!" Li Xiantong was not in a hurry, pointing to his neck, "I am a former military observer sent by the marching commander Shi, representing the military law of the Tang Dynasty. If you dare to touch my hair, it will be a rebellion and complicity! - Do it, do it! Let me try it with my neck, how fast the sword is when the world-famous evil general slashes his own people! ”

"Bastard, I slaughtered you!!" The generals under Cheng Wuting's command were all red with anger and thunder.

However, no one really came forward to chop Li Xiantong.

They are soldiers, real, pure soldiers. They value loyalty and honor more than their lives. Although Li Xiantong's words were all threatening words, they were indeed "truth".

The observer envoy in the army represents military law!

The shackles of mutiny and rebellion are definitely not something that Cheng Wuting and others can afford!

"Get out, the tiger and wolf division under my old Cheng is not uncommon to eat your carrion!" Cheng Wuting waved his hand and shouted away from the generals, "Let him go!" ”

"Get out of Shuozhou !!"

Li Xiantong touched his beard, looked at the people in front of him and smiled, and walked away.

Cheng Wuting and the others knew in their hearts that it was impossible to send reinforcements to join the state. The army led by Marshal Pei himself was still on the way, and when he arrived here, maybe the battle of Shuozhou would be over.

When the time comes, how to depict black and white, it's all in Li Chongyi's pen and Li Xiantong's mouth!

Cheng Wuting took a deep breath and spit out heavily, "Brothers, defend Shuozhou!" Success or failure – but with a clear conscience! ”

"I'll follow the general to the death—but I have a clear conscience!!"
