Chapter 388: Inciting the Army's Spirits
Although he had expected that Xue Rengui's situation would not be very good, Li Hong did not expect that Liu Rengui's methods would be so vicious. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
No one would have thought that in this small tent, there would be the left deputy general of this Eastern Crusade, the famous General Xue Rengui, and the nominal well-guarded place to recuperate from injuries was just an empty tent under cover!
"Your Highness?!"
Seeing Li Hong walk in, Xue Rengui was startled at first, and then his face became eager, but the strange thing was that he didn't get up to salute as usual.
"Why are you here, could it be that Liu Thief has attacked Chang'an?"
Xue Rengui suddenly became anxious and struggled to get up, but he fell from the narrow bed and slammed it on the ground.
"This ...... General Xue, what's going on? ”
Seeing this scene, Li Hong's brows suddenly furrowed, and he quickly stepped forward to help Xue Rengui, his eyes swept his body, but he found that Xue Rengui's two legs were extremely stiff, and even if he fell to the ground, he didn't have any reaction.
"Your Highness forgives the ministers for not being able to pay full courtesy, and the two legs of the ministers are afraid to be wasted!"
Xue Rengui was slightly stunned, but said with a wry smile, but Xu had already accepted this fact, but there was not much sadness in his voice, but after a slight pause, he asked more eagerly.
"Your Highness, what's going on in the outer world? Liu Renliang ......"
"Chang'an City is safe and sound!"
Li Hong helped Xue Rengui back to the couch with difficulty, and said softly.
After that, he sighed and recounted what had happened in the past two days to Xue Rengui.
"This old thief! How can you bully me like this! ”
A pair of iron fists slammed on the bed, Xue Rengui's eyes were red, and his body exuded a strong killing intent, and after a while, he came to his senses and said with some concern.
"Even so, His Highness shouldn't come, under the high walls of Chang'an City, he will definitely be able to wait for reinforcements to arrive, and then the siege will be lifted, and now His Highness is in this big camp, but it will make Xu Xiang and them throw a rat trap, and they don't dare to attack rashly!"
Although the tone was worried, there was still a hint of blame.
Li Hong shook his head, did not say his conversation with Liu Renliang in the big tent, but was silent for a moment before speaking.
"Don't worry, the general has a way to solve this siege, but this matter still needs the general's help!"
"Your Highness, please command!"
Although Xue Rengui was a little surprised by Li Hong's request, he did not hesitate to arch his hand, and his face was resolute.
"Tomorrow's ......"
Li Hong lowered his voice and whispered softly in the latter's ear for a while, and then Xue Rengui asked with a hesitant expression.
"Your Highness, is this a bit risky?"
"It doesn't matter, as long as we cooperate properly, there will be no accidents!"
However, Li Hong looked full of confidence, which made Xue Rengui gradually relax his heart, and after a while, he seemed to remember something and spoke.
"Your Highness, Xue is now a wasted person, I'm afraid he won't be able to help His Highness too much, as for the cronies in the army, they have now been uprooted by Liu Thief, but there is one person His Royal Highness who is available!"
"Who?"
"The general who brought His Highness down today, Liu Ning!"
Xue Rengui lowered his voice and said cautiously.
Lifting the tent, Li Hong walked out calmly, and Adjutant Liu, who was waiting on the side, also stepped forward, but because of the other guards, it was inconvenient to say anything, so he had to honestly send Li Hong to the original tent.
…………
At the same time, Liu Renliang's Chinese army tent.
A soldier with a strong body and a seemingly loyal and honest man knelt in front of the handsome case.
"General, everything is normal, there is nothing unusual, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is indeed General Xue Rengui who went to see alone, the two of them talked for less than a quarter of an hour, His Royal Highness came out, and then Vice General Liu escorted the Prince back to the tent without any accidents."
The soldier's eyes flashed with a glimpse of oil, but his voice was calm.
"Okay, you go down, remember, tonight's defense must be strengthened, and in addition, look at the personal guards of His Royal Highness the Prince, before tomorrow morning, there will be no accidents!"
Li Hong was right, from the very beginning, Liu Renliang never reassured him, and he had been sending people to secretly monitor, and his defense was also loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and he had been guarding him from playing any tricks.
Even the dozen or so personal guards he brought were taken off their armor and guarded as soon as possible!
…………
The night passed quickly, and when the sky was light, Li Hong heard the soldiers outside the tent start to bury the pot and cook, and when the sky was bright, Liu Renliang came to the tent.
"Your Highness, the time has come, please!"
Seeing that Li Hong had already dressed everything, An An sat in the tent separately, and a trace of pride appeared on Liu Renliang's old face.
Too lazy to speak, Li Hong stood up and came directly to the open space outside the tent.
There was a makeshift platform, very simple, with drums and some simple seating on it, and it was as if it was going to go on a campaign.
And all the soldiers had already lined up and stood up, and when Li Hong came out of the tent, all eyes were immediately focused on him, some were puzzled, some were angry, some were guilty, and so on......
"Your Highness, what the old minister promised has been completed, and I hope Your Highness will not disappoint the old man!"
Immediately behind Li Hong, Liu Renliang whispered in a voice that only two people could hear, as if inadvertently revealing half of the sharp hilt, and there was a threat in his tone.
"Humph!"
Li Hong threw off his robe, didn't speak, and walked directly onto the high platform.
Liu Renliang and his adjutant followed closely behind, followed up to the high platform, and stood still behind Li Hong.
"Soldiers, I would have felt very guilty for the brothers who died tragically in the past few days, and I was also very sad in my heart, but at the same time, I also want to say that the brothers will not sacrifice in vain, at least we now know the truth in Chang'an City, the demon queen Wu clan spied on the artifact, and held His Majesty hostage in Jiucheng Palace, and now His Royal Highness the Prince is here, I should fight hard, rush to Jiucheng Palace, and King Qin will save you!"
I have to say that Liu Renliang's ability to fool people is not bad, and he knows the truth of wanting to promote and suppress first, first arousing the soldiers' concern about the dead robes, and then revealing his fox tail......
It's a pity that the soldiers below don't seem to buy it much, and after Liu Renliang finished speaking, although there was a lot of discussion, they all looked hesitant.
And Liu Renliang obviously expected this situation and continued to shout at high speed.
"Brothers, I don't want to believe in such a shocking event, but now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here, he is His Majesty's own son, the second prince of the East Palace, how can he deceive us and others? Please tell everyone what happened! ”
After that, Liu Renliang took a step back, returned to Li Hong's back again, and after a look, several guards behind him quietly stepped forward, vaguely surrounding Li Hong in the middle, forming a circle of encirclement...... (To be continued.) )
