Shi Qiang snorted coldly.
"Cong Chongqiu, the traitor, dared to collaborate with the enemy and sell out his country. He must be torn into pieces."
"No wonder Cong Chongqiu refused to agree to our plan to launch a surprise attack on Shuitian City these past two days."
"Because he hadn't received the letters, he didn't dare launch a surprise attack, fearing the enemy would be unprepared."
At this point, Shi Qiang's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Old Patriarch, let's arrange for a surprise attack on the enemy tonight. We will surely achieve an unexpected victory."
"Cong Chongqiu won't let us fight, so we must fight and catch the enemy off guard."
The old patriarch looked at Shi Qiang with a speechless look, his brows furrowed so tightly that they could kill a mosquito.
So many people were dispatched from the military camp at once, and Cong Chongqiu was not dead, so how could they not be discovered?
The key is that if you really want to launch a sneak attack, you have to use Cong Chongqiu's soldiers.
The soldiers who have been stationed in Crescent City for a long time are more familiar with Shuitian City and have a greater chance of success in a sneak attack.
"inappropriate."
The old patriarch shook his head.
"There are too many Cong Chongqiu people in the military camp, and the sneak attack will not escape his sight."
The content of the three consecutive letters was so convincing that the old patriarch had to suspect that Cong Chongqiu was a traitor.
The reason is simple. The letter specifically mentioned that they used drugs and killed everyone.
Just this one sentence made him immediately think of Wu Ma Chaofu's death.
At that time, all the people led by Wu Ma Chaofu were wiped out, and they all died very quickly. He guessed that they died so quickly because they were drugged.
Because of this, he suspected that Cong Chongqiu had indeed colluded with the enemy.
"What should we do?" Shi Qiang looked at the old patriarch anxiously.
"Are we just going to allow Cong Chongqiu to be so arrogant?"
“I can’t stand it anymore…”
Shi Qiang was so angry that his breathing became much faster.
Cong Chongqiu has been suppressing him everywhere these days. He proposed that nothing be passed, which really made him angry.
The old patriarch lowered his eyes and thought for a moment.
"Well, tonight you prepare a table of good food and wine, and say you're apologizing to Cong Chongqiu, and invite him to dinner, and then..."
The old patriarch took out a package from his bosom and stuffed it into Shi Qiang's hand. The two of them discussed for half an hour before Shi Qiang quietly left the old patriarch's tent.
......
"What?"
Cong Chongqiu looked at the military advisor in surprise, "General Shi apologized to me, and the sun rose from the west?"
Cong Chongqiu sneered and didn't believe what Deputy General Shi Qiang said at all.
The military advisor also looked skeptical.
"I don't believe it either. Maybe it's the Hongmen Banquet."
Yesterday, Shi Qiang slammed the table and yelled at Cong Chongqiu, saying things like "It's either you or me" and "Who is the traitor?"
Today, they suddenly sent their deputy general to invite Cong Chongqiu, saying that they wanted to apologize to their general.
Who can believe this?
It was obvious that Shi Qiang had no good intentions.
Cong Chongqiu sneered and knocked on the table.
"Shi Qiang's deputy commander just caught a carrier pigeon today."
"It seems like this is another enemy plot to sow discord. Shi Qiang believes it."
This brainless guy, I don’t know why the empress sent him here, he is really holding him back.
If Shi Qiang had not insisted on his own way, he would not have lost so many soldiers.
None of the soldiers he had lost in all the years he had led troops were as many as Shi Qiang's this time.
Thinking of the corpses of soldiers all over the ground, he couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in his heart.
"So that's how it is." The military advisor curled his lips, "That makes sense. Shi Qiang went to the Wu Ma family's tent this afternoon."
"I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. It was common for him to go to the Wu Ma family camp."
"But Shi Qiang seemed particularly sneaky today. It turns out he's caught another carrier pigeon."
Cong Chongqiu sneered, "Shi Qiang is so lucky, he always catches the pigeons."
"I'm beginning to suspect that the pigeon was staged by Shi Qiang himself."
"How could the enemy know so much about our actions? This letter must have been fabricated by Shi Qiang, hoping to frame me."
When Cong Chongqiu thought about it, he felt that it made a lot of sense.
He originally thought that the carrier pigeon was sent by the enemy to provoke them.
He was still thinking that the enemy general was getting worse and worse, and he had the nerve to use such low-level methods.
He didn't believe the contents of the letter at all, and he believed that the old patriarch of the Wu Ma family would not believe it either.
As for Shi Qiang, he was not even considered by him. He was a brainless person who believed any little news.
But the carrier pigeons came one after another, and Shi Qiang caught three of them in succession.
This is very strange. How could the enemy do such a stupid thing as to send three carrier pigeons? It's obviously fake.
But Shi Qiang believed it very much, so there was only one possibility, that this incident was directed and acted by Shi Qiang himself, just to frame him and bring him down.
After listening to Cong Chongqiu's words, the military advisor connected the dots and immediately understood.
He scoffed and shook his head.
"Shi Qiang is really shooting himself in the foot. He has really made things difficult for the soldiers."
"We have to defend ourselves against the enemy while also being on guard against Shi Qiang's trap. The enemy would die of laughter if they heard this."
"With a man like Shi Qiang in the military camp, we have no reason to worry about not being able to win the battle."
The military advisor became more and more angry as he spoke. Thinking of the soldiers who had sacrificed their lives in vain, he wanted to beat Shi Qiang, the troublemaker, to death.
"General, we can't keep Shi Qiang here. If we let him continue to cause trouble, many soldiers will be killed."
The military advisor frowned and looked at Cong Chongqiu.
They have been stationed in Crescent City and have never taken those incompetent officials in the imperial city seriously.
The civil and military officials in the imperial city can do nothing but trip each other up and harm each other.
He didn't care how Shi Qiang harmed others in the imperial city, but it was absolutely unacceptable for him to harm the soldiers on the border.
Cong Chongqiu glanced at the military doctor and tapped the table with his right hand.
"I really can't keep it."
It's really a bad idea to keep this guy around, but how to get rid of him is a difficult problem.
The people of the Wu Ma family are still here. If he attacks Shi Qiang, the Wu Ma family will be the first to disagree.
Just because Shi Qiang secretly went to see the old patriarch of the Wu Ma family today, and the old patriarch did not inform him and did not talk to him about the matter afterwards, he knew that the Wu Ma family stood on Shi Qiang's side.
Now Shi Qiang and the Wu Ma family are joining forces to kill him. If he doesn't fight back, he will be at the mercy of others.
The military advisor took two steps towards Cong Chongqiu.
"So, are you going to the Hongmen Banquet tonight, General?"
"...Go!" Cong Chongqiu raised his eyelids and looked at the military advisor, "If I don't go, Shi Qiang will become suspicious."
"He wants my life, but it won't be that easy."
"Who will die tonight? That's not certain."
Even if there was no carrier pigeon incident, he would have been on guard if Shi Qiang suddenly invited him to dinner.
What's more, now that Shi Qiang has caused the incident with the carrier pigeons, it is obvious that he will not be tolerated.
