109. Li Xianzhong was in trouble
Guangcheng Kanto ten miles.
"Li Dutong, we have been stationed here for many days, why don't we knock on the pass for a long time?"
"If it drags on like this for a long time, it may not be good for our army!"
A general was persuading Li Xianzhong at this time.
"You don't know the strength of the thief army, so you rushed me to lead my troops to attack Guangcheng Pass?"
"Since I haven't attacked Guangcheng Pass for a long time, of course I have my own plan!"
Li Xianzhong responded.
"But now there are rumors in the camp!"
"If you don't knock, I'm afraid the army's heart will be chaotic!"
The general continued.
"Gossip?"
"What rumors are going on in the camp right now?"
Since Li Xianzhong was put back by Xu Xian, he has been in his military camp tent and has hardly gone out, of course he doesn't know the situation outside.
"The rumor is... It's just that the soldiers are talking in private, saying that they are worried that Li Dutong has secretly communicated with the enemy, and sooner or later he will take us soldiers and surrender to Xu Thief! ”
The general said truthfully.
"Who said that?"
"Who said that General Ben was going to surrender to the thief?"
"Let's go... Go out with General Ben and have a look! ”
Li Xianzhong was also surprised when he heard the news, so he hurried out of the camp.
After a while, Li Xianzhong ordered people to summon all the middle and senior generals of the army.
"I, Li Xianzhong, summoned you today, not for anything else, I just want to ask you!"
"Why do you suspect that I, Li Xianzhong, am collaborating with the enemy?"
"Could it be that in your hearts, I, Li Xianzhong, am really a slave with three surnames?"
Li Xianzhong began to question his generals.
"Li Dutong!"
"We didn't... How dare we suspect you! ”
"yes!"
"How can we be suspicious of Li Dutong?"
"You people, don't deceive Li Xianzhong!"
"We are just suspicious of Li Dutong, what's wrong?"
"If Li Dutong did not collaborate with the enemy, why would the enemy release General Li back unharmed?"
"Why didn't Li Dutong explain anything to us for a few days when he came back, and he didn't lead troops to attack Guangcheng Pass!"
"Can you still say in good conscience that you have no doubts about these things?"
Suddenly, a general named Guo Yong came out and interrupted the others.
"Good!"
"Since Guo Tong has raised these questions, I, Li Xianzhong, will explain and explain with you!"
"First of all, the anti-thief let me Li Xianzhong go, all because I, Li Xianzhong, had a lot of friendship with the thief leader Xu Xian, so the thief leader Xu Xian let me go out of affection!"
"But I, Li Xianzhong, promise that I will never let me go once because of the thief, and I will ignore my identity as the ruler of the Great Song Dynasty to do things that are against the enemy!"
"Secondly, I didn't explain to you when I came back, and I didn't bring troops to attack Guangcheng Pass, because I already knew the general situation of Guangcheng Pass, so I have been thinking about how to take that Guangcheng Pass for the past few days, so I didn't meet you!"
"And I, Li Xianzhong, came out today to lead you to capture Guangcheng Pass!"
Li Xianzhong explained one by one.
"Li Dutong!"
"Have you really thought of a way to take Guangcheng Pass?"
"It turns out that Li Dutong is trying to figure out how to win Guangcheng Pass!"
"It seems that we have misunderstood Li Dutong!"
"We really misunderstood Li Dutong!"
"Li Dutong, we were wrong!"
"We were wrong!"
At this time, all the generals began to apologize to Li Xianzhong.
"You're not wrong!"
"That's right!"
"Li Xianzhong, it's a collaborator!"
Suddenly, a strange figure appeared behind the generals.
"You... Who are you? ”
"Why do you want to infinitely our Li Dutong?"
Immediately, a general came out to question the man.
"Take a good look for yourself, who I am!"
Someone came and opened an edict.
"You... Are you a staff officer sent by the Holy Lord? ”
When the general saw the handwriting on the edict, he immediately understood the identity of this person.
"Yes!"
"I'm the new staff officer Shao Hongyuan!"
"And the Holy Lord has an order to entrust me to come here to investigate Li Xianzhong's collaboration with the enemy!"
It turned out that this person was actually Shao Hongyuan.
"This Shao Junshi, you say that I Li Xianzhong collaborated with the enemy!"
"What evidence do you have?"
Li Xianzhong was naturally very dissatisfied with Shao Hongyuan, who had such an arrogant attitude.
"Didn't you just say that the thief leader Xu Xian let you go out of his old affection?"
"As a leading general, you actually have a deep relationship with the thief leader, you are not collaborating with the enemy and treason, what are you?"
"And during the Battle of Dengzhou, you did not increase the troops in Dengzhou to help Wang Zhen take Dengzhou as soon as possible, which led to the Battle of Dengzhou, our army was defeated, and all 30,000 soldiers were killed by thieves, isn't this your dereliction of duty?"
"So you, Li Xianzhong, are not only derelict in their duties, but also guilty of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country!"
"Do you still dare not admit your guilt?"
Shao Hongyuan asked.
"Since you regard my former friendship with Xu Thief as a collaborator and traitor!"
"The defeat of Dengzhou, I, Li Xianzhong, am indeed to blame!"
"Since you are sent by the Holy Lord to treat me Li Xianzhong, then I have nothing to say!"
Li Xianzhong didn't know how to explain, so he simply admitted it.
"Good!"
"Now that Li Dutong has pleaded guilty!"
"Don't arrest him yet!"
"Immediately bring it back to Lin'an and hand it over to the Criminal Department for disposal!"
Shao Hongyuan commanded.
"Master Shao!"
"You can't wish Li Dutong like this!"
"Li Dutong has already explained to us just now, it did not collaborate with the enemy and betray the country!"
"It really didn't collaborate with the enemy and betray the country!"
"And the two armies are fighting, and there is no victory or defeat so far, how can the crime of the main general be easily punished?"
"yes!"
"I believe that Li Dutong is innocent!"
"Li Dutong will never collaborate with the enemy and betray the country!"
A group of generals began to speak for Li Xianzhong.
"Do you believe that Li Dutong is innocent?"
"And where is your evidence?"
"Since there is no evidence, don't trust anyone!"
"Besides, Li Dutong himself has already confessed his guilt just now, and you still want to shield sinners like this, are you also ignoring our Great Song Dynasty military law?"
The general named Guo Yong came out to speak again.
"You don't have to explain it to me Li Xianzhong!"
"Justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, I, Li Xianzhong, am not afraid to return to the Criminal Department for investigation!"
"But I hope that Master Shao will give me Li Xianzhong three days, so that I can capture the Guangcheng Pass of the anti-thief within these three days!"
Li Xianzhong turned his attention to Shao Hongyuan.
"Three days?"
"Do you want to find a way to lead the soldiers to your new master, Xu Thief, in these three days?"
"I, Shao Hongyuan, are here to tell you, impossible!"
"You must hand over the seal of Shuai immediately today and return to Lin'an to be tried!"
Shao Hongyuan seemed unwilling to give Li Xianzhong any chance.
"Shao Hongyuan?"
"You... What does that mean exactly? ”
"Why are you the enemy of me Li Xianzhong everywhere?"
Li Xianzhong's dissatisfaction was all expressed at this time.
"I have no intention of being an enemy of you, I am entrusted by the Holy God in everything!"
"Now that you have confessed your sins, don't embarrass these soldiers!"
What Shao Hongyuan said was quite righteous and righteous.
