Chapter 12: Anti-Generals?
Taishou Mansion.
The civil and military officials gathered together, and Liu Bao, the commander of the cavalry, sat in the center instead of the Taishou.
As the second-in-command in the city, after Taishou Liang Chun fell ill, his official position was the greatest.
It's just that Liu Bao frowned slightly at the moment, staring at Liang Teng in front of him, not knowing what to think.
Civil and military officials are also talking one after another, and they don't know what is going on now.
After all, it was not Taishou who summoned everyone over, nor was it Liu Bao, the commander of the cavalry, but Liang Teng.
Although he is only a postal supervisor, his official position is not comparable to many people on the scene, but nearly half of the civil and military officials in Huajun are members of the Liang family, and Liang Teng is the only son of Liang Chun, even if he is a high-ranking official, he has to be obedient, after all, he is the future head of the family.
Liu Bao secretly thought in his heart, he wanted to take advantage of Liang Chun's illness and take the opportunity to take Huajun. Unexpectedly, Liang Teng suddenly summoned civil and military officials, and he didn't know what to do. In any case, the Liang family must not be allowed to hear any rumors before the incident.
Thinking of this, Liang Teng opened his mouth and asked, "My brother is sick, and my nephew is not by my side to take care of him, why did he suddenly summon officials, what is the matter?"
Liang Teng bowed his hand, bowed his head and replied: "My father was defeated this time, and he is sick. As a son of man, how can he not avenge his father? The bandits of Pang Lishan are so rampant, my nephew can't swallow this breath!"
"Oh, what does the virtuous nephew think?" asked Liu Bao curiously.
"My father lost the battle because the thief army attacked in the rain and at night yesterday, which is not in line with the art of war!" Liang Teng replied, "If we go head-to-head, how can we be the opponent of our army? Now that the thieves are defeated, spreading it will damage my father's prestige." For the sake of today's plan, it is necessary to redeem the defeat and completely eliminate the thief army to save face. Therefore, the nephew hoped that his uncle would do his best to help. β
"Oh, how can I help?" asked Liu Bao suspiciously.
"I want to use all the soldiers and horses of Huajun to exterminate the bandits of Pang Li Mountain!" Liang Teng replied loudly, "Please also ask my uncle to do it!"
"What?!" Liu Bao's face changed when he heard this, and he turned his head to look at his henchman Zhao Tong beside him, and consulted his opinion with his eyes.
Zhao Tong kept staring at Liang Teng, and when he heard this, he thought about it carefully, and then bent down to Liu Bao's ear and whispered: "This son wants to take the opportunity to deal with the lord!"
"What do you mean?" Liu Bao glanced at Liang Teng, turned his head and asked softly.
"He wants to do his best to kill the soldiers and horses of Huajun, not to suppress the thieves and save Liang Chun's face!" Zhao Tong replied in a low voice, "Just to take away the soldiers and horses of the lord." If the lord is in a scheme, the first thing the other party should do is to turn around and deal with the lord! Now the Liang family's control of the soldiers and horses has suffered huge damage, and they are worried that the lord will take the opportunity to seize power, so they set up this plan!"
"This son is so vicious, even worse than Liang Chun!" the corner of Liu Bao's mouth twitched, "How to deal with it?"
"The lord might as well fight against the army!" Zhao Tong said softly, "Just like this, like this, like this......"
After listening to Zhao Tong's opinion, Liu Bao's eyes flashed, he sat up straight with his head slightly, glanced at the civil and military officials, and finally fell on Liang Teng: "What the virtuous nephew said is very true, the bandits of Pang Lishan are bold and reckless, and they should not be spared! β
"If you don't take revenge, can you let others laugh at you?" How can you let the Pang Li Mountain bandits be so rampant?" Liang Teng said hurriedly, "Please also ask your uncle to fulfill it!"
"Don't worry, virtuous nephew!" Liu Bao shook his head and said, "It is indeed urgent to exterminate the bandits of Pangli Mountain. I can't stand this humiliation for my brother. Now my brother is seriously ill, and the burden of Huajun is all on me. It is the duty of the official to suppress the thief, and the virtuous nephew can take care of his brother in the city with peace of mind, and when I lead the troops to the battle, I will avenge my brother! β
"This ......" Liang Teng was suddenly speechless.
Liu Bao saw his expression, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. The heart said that you want to trick me into soldiers and horses, it's too naΓ―ve!
If you don't agree, then the previous words will be in vain, and the civil and military officials must have ideas in their hearts; if you agree, you will be stupid, once the soldiers and horses controlled by the Liang family are in my hands, it will be equivalent to giving away the entire Huajun, of course I will laugh!
You want to use this kind of tactic to trick me and see who can't get off the stage now?
Facing Liu Bao's smug gaze, Liang Teng's eyelids trembled. However, everything was no different from what Ning Ze said, so he bowed his head and pretended to be embarrassed: "This ......"
"You can add another ......," Zhao Tong bowed his head and offered advice in Liu Bao's ear.
After listening to this, Liu Bao nodded slightly, turned his gaze to the civil and military officials, and glanced at the group of envoys who supported him.
Those who can mix with official positions are not slow.
Someone immediately stood up: "The bandits in Pangli Mountain are indeed hateful and must be exterminated! Lord Cavalry Captain has superb martial arts, and if he can lead the army to go out, he will definitely be able to return victorious." β
"Seconded!"
"Seconded!"
"Seconded ......"
The civil and military officials who supported Liu Bao really stood up.
Liang Teng's face was not very good-looking, Liu Bao looked at it with a smug look in his eyes, and said in his heart that your father didn't play me to death, how capable can you be?
When the civil and military officials who supported him finished speaking, Liu Bao squinted his eyes and looked at Liang Teng: "Virtuous nephew, if you talk about leading troops to fight, I am the most qualified person here! As long as you do all the soldiers and horses of Huajun, the bandits of Panglishan can be wiped out!"
"This ......" Liang Teng's face stinked even more, and in the eyes of Liu Bao and the civil and military officials who supported him, he was even happy.
At this time, Liang Jun, the chief bookkeeper, stood up and said: "If the Fuzun army is defeated, the imperial court will inevitably blame! If you don't destroy the thief quickly, I am afraid that there will be disadvantages." The cavalry captain has outstanding martial arts and knows the art of war, and if he can lead the army into battle, he will definitely be able to win a great victory!"
Liang Teng looked back in disbelief when he heard this.
Liu Bao, Zhao Tong, and other civil and military officials who supported Liu Bao also widened their eyes and showed expressions of disbelief.
"What's the situation?" Liu Bao couldn't believe it, why did the Liang family turn around to support him?
Zhao Tong thought for a moment, showed a hint of joy, and replied in a low voice: "Lord, at this moment, Liang Chun is sick and can't take charge, Liang Teng can't suppress you, although the master is a member of the Liang family, he may see the sign of a change of power, so he is ready to bet on your side!"
"Oh, he wants to join me, but that guy is ...... Liang family."
"The world is crowded, all for profit!" Zhao Tong said with a smile.
Liu Bao nodded when he heard this.
At this moment, another member of the Liang family stood up: "Seconded!"
Liu Bao's face was overjoyed.
The others seemed to hesitate to look at each other, and then the Liang family stood up one after another: "I also second......"
After a while, the vast majority of the civil and military officials on the scene agreed with Liu Bao's opinion, and it could be clearly seen that Liang Teng's face was extremely distorted.
Although Liu Bao and his people were shocked, some couldn't believe how fast the Liang family was backing up, they were also secretly excited, if they could get all the soldiers and horses, Huajun would be under control!
How could you not seize such a great opportunity?
Liu Bao stroked his beard and laughed under Zhao Tong's reminder: "Virtuous nephew, since everyone agrees, I will avenge my brother this time!
What if you don't feel at ease? The vast majority of the civil and military officials on the scene support themselves, and Huajun is equivalent to a change of sky!
Liang Teng's face became more and more ugly, and the civil and military officials behind him urged one after another, including the Liang family, forcing him to tremble.
Liu Bao and Zhao Tong glanced at each other, and their faces were even more joyful. This kind of situation of wanting to mess with others, but being killed by the counter-general army, is so funny!
After fighting with Liang Chun for so many years, it is the first time to experience such a comfortable moment.
Liu Bao and civil and military officials urged one after another, which meant to force the palace.
In the end, Liang Teng looked at those anti-water clansmen, as if he was deflated: "If my uncle can exterminate the bandits in Pangli Mountain, my nephew and nephew will ......."
"As long as the virtuous nephew lends the soldiers and horses to his uncle, he will guarantee that the whole army of the Pangli Mountain bandits will be wiped out!" Liu Bao laughed, admiring Liang Teng's unwilling appearance of gritting his teeth.
Liang Teng, under the repeated urging of civil and military officials, seemed to be a little dizzy and was about to lose his footing. Finally looked up at Liu Bao: "That is the case, please also ask my uncle to lead the troops out of the city, I will bring the soldiers and horses of the Liang family to follow and receive the tiger talisman at the city gate!"
"Why bother so much? The virtuous nephew first handed over the tiger talisman to his uncle, and the uncle immediately led the troops to the battle!" Liu Bao squinted and smiled.
"No! it must be cut outside the city!" Liang Teng shook his head in response.
"What does this mean?" Liu Bao turned his head and asked Zhao Tong.
Zhao Tong leaned into his ear and whispered: "Liang Teng saw that the general trend had gone, but he was worried that the lord would harm him, so he wanted to cut off outside the city." β
"It's stupid!" Liu Bao laughed in a low voice when he heard this, "If you really want to get soldiers and horses, the city gate can stop me?"
"That's right!" Zhao Tong nodded, "The lord can agree, when the military power is in hand, how can the soldiers guarding the door resist?"
Liu Bao was overjoyed, got up and ran to Liang Teng's side: "Nephew, just follow what you say! Uncle will definitely lead troops to exterminate the bandits in Pang Li Mountain, and be ashamed of my brother." Without further ado, let's go!"
"Ahh......h
"If you want to suppress thieves, this is a good opportunity!" replied Liu Bao, "There is no delay." β
"Please ride Lord Du Wei to suppress the thief!" Zhao Tong suddenly shouted with his eyes dripping around beside him.
"Please ride the Captain to suppress the thief!!" the civil and military officials in the hall immediately shouted in unison.
Liu Bao was even more joyful, staring at Liang Teng with burning eyes.
Liang Tengmeng gritted his teeth: "Okay! If you want me to transfer the military power, the people that my uncle will bring with him on this expedition need to be designated by me!"
"This ......"
Zhao Tong immediately whispered in Liu Bao's ear: "This son is still not at ease, I am afraid that he will drive all the lord's forces outside the city." β
"I have soldiers and horses in hand, why be afraid?" Liu Bao squinted, then turned to Liang Teng and responded loudly, "Yes, just follow the virtuous nephew!"
"In this case, please uncle lead the troops out of the city!" Liang Teng pointed out all of Liu Bao's subordinates on the spot, and at the same time turned his slightly angry gaze to Liang Jun and the others, counting them among them.
Liu Bao and Zhao Tong discussed in a low voice, feeling that Liang Teng was annoyed and angry, and wanted to let these anti-water Liang family members go out to die. However, this pushed them into his own hands, so he agreed with a smile.
From today on, Huajun is no longer the Liang family, but I, Liu Bao, have the final say!
Lord Commander was very pleased.
