------------

Of course, Bian Lingcheng didn't know that Yang Xi was already thinking about his head at this time!

At this time, Bian Lingcheng can be said to be a little at ease, and there is a feeling of the rest of his life, he already knew on the way to escape that Yang Xi was appointed as the Tongguan soldier and horse envoy, and the representative brother Shuhan commanded the military affairs of Tongguan, this news made him feel relieved, which was also the most important reason for him to return to Tongguan.

"The last general has seen Yang Bing and Ma Envoy!"

Seeing that Yang Xi was very cold to him, Bian Lingcheng felt a bad feeling in his heart, but he still stepped forward and saluted.

He has a good relationship with Yang Guozhong, and several of Yang Guozhong's sons also have intersections, but the friendship with Yang Xi is a little shallow, but it is not bad, but when he saw Yang Xi today, he was terrified when he saw him for the first time. Yang Xi's performance was too majestic, and his face was full of murder!

Yang Xi stood tall in front of Bian Lingcheng and asked in a dignified tone, "General Bian, this general asks you, where are you from?" ”

Bian Lingcheng is the eunuch of the 200,000-strong prison army in Tongguan, and he also leads the post of general of the left prison gate, and everyone calls him "General Bian".

Yang Xi really can't figure out why Li Longji trusts the eunuchs so much, Gao Lishi was awarded a very high position, and there are all the posts of national princes and generals, and everyone calls Gao Lishi "Gao Da General". Bian Lingcheng, a eunuch, also served as a prison general.

Calling a "rootless" eunuch a general, how uncomfortable it is to listen!

In the early days of the Tang Dynasty, eunuchs did not have a say in the court, and it was from the era of Li Longji that eunuchs began to gradually interfere in politics, and eventually became a disaster in the Tang Dynasty, and even the abolition of the emperor was decided by them. When he thought of this, he felt extremely disgusted in his heart.

Down with the eunuchs! Here's what he's going to do in the future!

Hearing Yang Xi ask this, Bian Lingcheng was a little embarrassed, but he still said stubbornly: "Back to the Yang soldiers and horses, after the defeat of the Lingbao army, after the last general desperately resisted to no avail, he had no choice but to retreat, and was finally forced away from Tongguan by the rout, but after hearing that the imperial court had sent Yang soldiers and horses to lead the army to first aid Tongguan, the last general immediately rushed back to Tongguan City!"

Seeing Bian Lingcheng's demeanor, the eyes of the other generals fell on him again, Yang Xi changed into a playful demeanor and said: "General Bian, it turns out that you have already been to Tongguan City, thinking that Tongguan City could not be defended, so you abandoned the city and fled, right?" It's just that he heard that the imperial court ordered the general to lead the army to help, and felt that Tongguan City could still be defended before returning, is that so? ”

Bian Lingcheng was even more embarrassed, and after peeking at Yang Xi, he finally shook his head, "Yang soldiers and horses, the last general didn't expect to abandon Tong Pass and not defend it, but was forced out of the city by the rout!" The last general knows his duties, and he also wants to return to Chang'an as soon as possible, meet the emperor, explain the reason for Lingbao's defeat, and ask for help!"

Bian Lingcheng's sophistry aroused the contempt of the generals, and many even spat secretly.

I've seen shameless, but I've never seen a person like Bian Lingcheng, who runs for his life and puts gold on his face.

Yang Xi didn't spit on Bian Lingcheng, he also put on a smile, turned around twice with his hands behind his back, and continued to say in a joking tone: "General Bian, if everyone is like you and wants to return to Chang'an as soon as possible to move the rescue troops, then now that Tongguan City has fallen into the hands of the rebels, it is impossible for us to stand here and talk again!" Do you think that the explanation you just gave said that you were not cowardly and ran away, does anyone believe it? ”

"Huh?!" Bian Lingcheng exclaimed, looking blankly at Yang Xi, whose face was already cold, and didn't know how to answer.

Yang Xi walked up to Bian Lingcheng, looked at the other party condescendingly, and asked in a very cold tone: "General Bian, as the supervisor of the first army, you must know very well what punishment will be imposed on those who fear the enemy and cowardice, right?! The execution of the two generals Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi seems to be also charged with this crime, or did you list them?" ”

Without waiting for Bian Lingcheng to answer anything, Yang Xi hugged his fists and asked Ge Shuhan, who was standing on the side with a complicated expression: "The last general, may I ask Marshal Ge Shu, how to punish those who are afraid of the enemy and cowardly and flee from the battle?" ”

"No mercy!" Geshuhan replied with a chill on his face.

"Yes, the general also announced just now that if a soldier is afraid of the enemy, flees from the battle, plots rebellion, and leads the army to the enemy, he will be killed!" Yang Xi's words finally revealed a murderous aura, his eyes flashing with a cold light stared straight at the trembling Bian Lingcheng, and shouted majestically: "As the supervisor of the first army, when the army is defeated, he does not help the commander to resist the enemy, collects the rout, only cares about his own escape, and wants military discipline to be beheaded!"

Bian Lingcheng, who was frightened by Yang Xi's drink, knelt down in front of Yang Xi with a "plop", kowtowed and begged: "Yang soldiers and horses, the last general knows that he is wrong, the last general is not fleeing from the battle, he really wants to go back to Chang'an to move the rescue soldiers!" After the last general heard that Yang Bingma led the army to rescue Tongguan, he also came back immediately! Yang soldiers and horses, the last general and Ling Zun have always been good friends, please look at Ling Zun's face, spare the last general's life, I will personally ask His Majesty and Yang Xianggong for guilt, and ask for punishment!"

Yang Xi took two steps back, a little farther away from Bian Lingcheng, and ordered two sergeants to step forward and hold down Bian Lingcheng, and after Bian Lingcheng was forced to raise his head, he continued to scold: "Bian Lingcheng, as the supervisor of the first army, you have lived up to the expectations of His Majesty the Emperor. It was your repeated advice that made Your Majesty and Yang Xianggong believe that our army could defeat the enemy outside the city, so that Your Majesty made the wrong decision to make Marshal Geshu lead the army out of the city to fight, which eventually led to a great defeat in the Battle of Lingbao! You will take full responsibility for this failure, and if I don't kill you, heaven will not tolerate it!"

Ge Shuhan and the other generals were dumbfounded, under Yang Xi's clever tongue, the responsibility for Lingbao's defeat was completely pushed to Bian Lingcheng's side, who would have thought that Yang Xi would say this!

Yang Xi pulled out the long sword in his hand with a "bang", pointed at Bian Lingcheng with a colorless face and said: "Bian Lingcheng, this is the imperial sword that His Majesty the Emperor has rewarded to this soldier and horse envoy, and he can be ordered by the emperor to behead anyone who disobeys orders, fears the enemy, and plots rebellion.

Yang Xi said, looked at the stunned Ge Shuhan and other generals with a proud demeanor, and announced loudly: "As the supervisor of the first army, Bian Lingcheng, the general of the left prison gate, when the army was defeated, not only did not cooperate with the main general to collect the soldiers and then resist, but fled for his own life, ignoring the defeat of tens of thousands of soldiers, crossing the Tong Pass without stopping, abandoning the Tong Pass and not guarding the danger, the crime is unforgivable!" In order to avoid any more leading generals from fleeing from the battle and fearing the enemy's cowardice, the soldiers and horses decided to cut off Bian Lingcheng in front of the battle, so as to set an example, and come to pull Bian Lingcheng outside Tongguan City and behead him in front of all the soldiers!"

Saying that, he threw the long sword in his hand in front of Bian Lingcheng, he wanted to kill the chicken and the monkey, take Bian Lingcheng's head to sacrifice the flag, and raise the sword for himself!
