"Although I was indeed impulsive today, I am still loyal to the emperor and the country. I have no reason to punish you. Stand up."
Even though he was very angry, Xiao Zhaolin had to agree with a smile, then stood up and stood aside.
The matter of the true and false emperor can be put to rest here.
The deputy general who was originally guarding on the side couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then his eyes fell on Su Moyuan who was standing next to Xiao Shengxing.
He frowned and subconsciously asked, "It's been so long, where have you been? You actually took so long!"
After meeting the deputy general's gaze, Su Moyuan glanced at Xiao Shengxing beside him and explained, "I was just accompanying the emperor and escorting him, so I was delayed."
With just one sentence, he put all the responsibility on Xiao Shengxing.
Even if the deputy general was angry, he didn't dare to say anything more.
Even the soldiers who were originally a little angry could only lower their heads helplessly.
The deputy general felt uncomfortable. He glanced at Xiao Shengxing who was silent, and then spoke to Su Moyuan with some dissatisfaction.
"After such a long time, you can actually abandon the lives of so many people at the border. I really don't know how you became a general. Aren't the lives of the soldiers also lives?"
Su Moyuan, who was being ridiculed, hadn't said anything yet.
Shi Qi couldn't bear to watch any longer: "If they weren't really stuck in something, who would really stay out there for so long?"
The deputy general, whose attention was drawn to him, frowned and said, "Miss, you are a woman with long hair and little knowledge. How can you understand what is happening on the battlefield? It's better not to talk."
"If you understand, why don't you be the emperor? I think you are very suitable."
Xiao Shengxing spoke lightly, but his tone was full of oppression, making people tremble all over.
The deputy general also realized that what he said was too much. He even forgot that the emperor was still there.
After feeling Xiao Shengxing's anger, he quickly knelt on the ground, lowered his head in fear and begged for mercy.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life. It was all my fault for speaking so carelessly, but I was also overly worried, so I said such words. Please don't be angry, Your Majesty."
"So, next time you're angry, if I'm not around, will you scold me too?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I dare not do that!" The deputy general wanted to say something, but he was so frightened by the oppressive feeling coming from Xiao Shengxing that he dared not speak anymore.
"Remove your position as deputy general and demote yourself to an ordinary soldier. Go."
Xiao Shengxing pursed his lips and gave the order coldly.
"Your Majesty, I refuse to accept your offer! I merely said one wrong thing, Your Majesty..."
"As far as I know, when General Su was away, you, as deputy general, never won a battle. I simply cannot afford someone so incompetent and arrogant. This clearly proves that you are completely useless. How can you be considered a deputy general?"
Xiao Shengxing spoke coldly, his eyes fixed fiercely on the deputy general.
"But the Emperor!"
He wanted to say something else.
"If you are dissatisfied, you can wait until you sit in my position and then make a decision!"
With just one sentence, the deputy general was speechless.
He knelt on the ground dejectedly and stopped talking.
In fact, Su Moyuan had disliked him for a long time, but he only got to his current position by relying on connections. Since the emperor is here today, he might as well talk it out.
Thinking of this, he spoke directly.
"Your Majesty, you may not know this. When Lieutenant General Guo led his troops on the battlefield, he never understood what it meant to obey orders. He always did whatever he wanted. This is why there were more casualties than should have happened. This shows that he is unfit for use."
Xiao Shengxing nodded: "I will personally take charge of the battle."
"Go into the city."
He opened his thin lips slightly, and after he finished speaking, the crowd marched into the city in a mighty procession.
Xiao Shengxing did not go to rest as planned. After taking a shower and changing clothes, he went straight into the tent.
The commanders of each army were called into the tent to discuss the battle.
In fact, no one had any expectations that the emperor would personally deploy the battle.
After all, the emperor is a foolish and incompetent person, and everyone knows this.
So when everyone came in, they all had helpless looks on their faces.
It's like going to the battlefield even though you know you are going to die.
"We don't have much time left. If we fight them directly, it will not be advantageous for us in terms of manpower or anything else. So what we need to do this time is to catch them off guard!"
Just one sentence made everyone who originally thought there was no hope suddenly brighten up, and they looked at Xiao Shengxing in astonishment.
They didn't expect that the emperor would have such an idea.
"We have only just arrived, and the enemy must have already received the news. But they certainly think we will rest and fight again when we are rested and have more energy. But we want to do the opposite and launch a surprise attack tonight!"
"Your Majesty, if we take action now, I'm afraid..." Su Moyuan frowned and expressed his thoughts hesitantly.
"That's fine. This time, we're going to make a feint to the east and attack in the west. We'll first lead a small group of troops to attack from the north. After we lure them to the north, we'll surround and attack them from behind, catching them off guard."
Su Moyuan agreed and felt that the method was feasible.
So after a detailed discussion, they decided to launch a night attack.
Just when he had begun to order the army to marshal and prepare for march, Su Lijin came to a soldier and asked.
"Has General Su arrived?" The "general" she was referring to was her father.
The soldier frowned slightly, thought carefully, and then shook his head: "No, General Su never showed up."
Su Lijin frowned, and at this moment something unconsciously emerged in her mind.
What the boss said that day in the Mongolian village.
He said that the place was actually founded by his father.
However, I had no idea about this.
But now my father is also missing, with no trace of him.
So, where should the father be?
Is what happened in the village true? If so, why didn't I know about it?
For some reason, she always felt that something was wrong with this matter.
After a long thought.
Su Lijin made a decision, that is, she would go back to the village to find out what was going on.
After making up her mind, Su Lijin did not delay and went straight to Xiao Shengxing to tell him her idea.
"Are you planning to go back now?" Xiao Shengxing frowned and looked at Su Lijin with some embarrassment.
"Yes, it's better to do this as soon as possible. I still feel like something is wrong and want to go back and see what's going on."
