Chapter 332: The seizure of power is in progress

"Secondly, the former commander-in-chief of the Northern Border Army, Mr. Xie, was ordered to gather the remnant army and the young and middle-aged people who were stranded in the pass. He killed the bandit leaders and stabilized the pass. He also led his troops to fight with the Beihu army to protect the old, weak, women and children who were stranded in the pass. "

"At this stage, the former commander-in-chief of the northern border army, Xie Laohe, suppressed the remnant soldiers and all the young and middle-aged men who have made contributions in resisting the enemy. Your Majesty and the imperial court should reward them based on their merits."

"All the soldiers and civilians who sacrificed their lives should be remembered."

"Thirdly, Qiao led his soldiers to support him and saw Gao Fuyan personally kill King Zuoxian of Beihu. The morale of the Beihu army was in chaos."

"At this stage, Gao Fuyan is a great contributor, there is no doubt about it."

"Gao Fuyan's success comes one after another."

"In order to objectively and comprehensively consider Gao Fuyan's merits and demerits, Qiao felt that it was necessary to inform the general about Gao Fuyan's past."

Hearing this, Liu Jingyuan frowned.

Gao Fuyan was a man of influence during the reign of Emperor Jingxiang. He was young and promising, and his future was bright. As for what happened after the succession to the throne, it was no secret.

Because he had good relations with the two young masters of the Xie family, he questioned his Majesty again in the court. His Majesty regarded him as an accomplice of the Xie family and ordered the exile of Gao Fuyan's family without mercy.

Xie Yan glanced at her calmly and said eloquently, "The old mother of Gao Fuyan, the former minister of the Ministry of War, unfortunately fell seriously ill due to being whipped by an official. She had a high fever and died in exile."

"The twin daughters of the Gao family, who were as beautiful as flowers and jade, adhered to their integrity and refused to commit themselves to official service, so they also died in exile."

"The younger brother of Gao Fuyan, a compatriot from the same mother, when the Beihu cavalry invaded Zhenlu Pass, he retaliated with kindness and risked his life and death, lighting up the smoke."

"The flames of war did not bring reinforcements from Shengyan Pass. Gao Fuyan's younger brother was shot dead by the Beihu cavalry, and was later kicked to pieces by horses. No bones were left."

"My wife, whom we had been together for more than ten years, was seized by the bandits recruited by General Qin. She couldn't bear the humiliation, so she bit her tongue and committed suicide to protect her innocence."

"Gao Fuyan's only son was also kidnapped and used as a prostitute by those bandits wearing armor and strutting through the city, humiliating him for fun."

"Three generations of the Gao family died intermittently directly or indirectly at the hands of the Daqian court."

"This is Gao Fuyan's past."

The army was in an uproar at first, and then fell into deathly silence.

Soldiers in the army all have parents, brothers, wives and children, and it is very easy to empathize with them. Joining the army is not only to serve the country, but also to make achievements and protect one's wife and children.

If the whole family, old and young, died so miserably and unjustly...

You can't think about it, because whenever you think about it, hatred will grow.

Xie Yan gave the soldiers time to think and weigh, and after a moment, he continued, "Fourth."

"Qiao wants to take credit for himself and his soldiers."

"They have great ambitions and fight bravely to kill the enemy, regardless of life or death."

"Fifth." Xie Yan seemed to be smiling but not smiling. "After the bloody battle, General Liu wanted to take a break, but he wanted to point the butcher's knife at the warriors and swipe at the meritorious people. Mr. Qiao was humble and did not dare to criticize General Liu's actions easily. To make a final conclusion, I would like to ask General Liu to write it down truthfully and leave it to His Majesty to make a final decision.”

"Qiao is done."

"General Liu, have you remembered clearly?"

Liu Jingyuan's face was covered with frost.

It’s clear, Qiao Song is provoking him!

Could it be that he wants to replace it?

His position as commander-in-chief of the Northern Territory Army was given to him by His Majesty and Grand Master Qin, and no one else could take it away.

"I remember it clearly."

"The reason why this great general regards General Qiao as a record of collaboration with the enemy and treason is actually because of the secret report he received. Since it is a misunderstanding, let's just say it."

Xie Yan calmly said, "General Liu is the commander-in-chief of the Northern Territory Army. Just say so. Qiao will not dare to object."

"I wonder when General Liu will submit the battle report?"

Liu Jingyuan frowned, and the killing intent in his eyes almost turned into reality.

Is Xie Yan's dictation a battle report?

That is a real request for credit!

It's better to take credit for the person Your Majesty wants to get rid of quickly.

Now we are in the imperial court, full of civil and military officials. Who dares to thank the old master in front of His Majesty!

If he dares to ask for credit for Mr. Xie, Your Majesty will dare to ask Mr. Xie to collect the bodies of his family.

A dense chill shot up from his spine, and he subconsciously tightened his grip on the horse's belly. The force was too heavy, and the horse neighed sharply.

Liu Jingyuan came to his senses and quickly controlled and calmed the horse.

Then he said, "I'll write it after I return to Shengyan Pass."

Xie Yan raised his eyebrows, "As long as you are willing to write."

"As a junior general under the general's command, Qiao should take the general's worries as his worries, take pleasure in the general's pleasures, think about the general's thoughts, and worry about the general's worries."

He immediately took the written battle report from the guard on the side and threw it to Liu Jingyuan at the bottom of the city: "General, please register."

"Every word written in the battle report is true. There is no exaggeration or falsehood."

Liu Jingyuan almost didn't move up and poked him in the air.

Lost seal?

He's not crazy!

Liu Jingyuan gritted his teeth, "The secret report has not yet been investigated."

"When this general returns to Shengyan Pass to find out the truth, he will write it down and report it to His Majesty."

"Then follow what the general said." Xie Yan did not press any further.

Anyway, the battle report will be posted in the streets and alleys of Shengyan Pass tomorrow.

A few days later, word spread throughout Daqian.

Could it be that Liu Jingyuan and the emperor in the palace could still deny it?

"Qiao Song, the siege of Zhenzha Pass has been resolved. You will return to Shengyan Pass with my general to cooperate with the investigation and secret report."

Xie Yan asked in a deep voice, "Which camp is the general going to arrange to garrison the Zhenzhu Pass? Don't let it go and just rely on the general to flee and kill more than half of the Zhenzhu Pass defenders."

"If Beihu comes back, all the towns and cities will be lost."

"If the general does not make proper arrangements, Qiao is willing to risk his own safety and stay at the pass until the court sends a new guard."

Liu Jingyuan gritted his teeth.

I really didn't realize that Qiao Song was also a supporter of Xie's family, so he took such great pains to protect Xie's thoughtfulness.

He was also blind and believed Qiao Song's lies and promoted Qiao Song himself.

Liu Jingyuan looked around, and for a moment he didn't know who to choose.

It is difficult to paint the skin of a person, but it is difficult to paint the bones of a person. Knowing the person, knowing the face, but not the heart.

With Qiao Song in front of him, at a glance, he felt that everyone was rebellious.

After thinking about it, Liu Jingyuan turned his attention to Tian Binjun.

His brother-in-law.

Wealth and blessings are one with him, and our destiny is connected.

If Tian Binjun can eliminate the hidden danger of suppressing the checkpoint for His Majesty, then shooting General Qin will not be a concern at all.

Liu Jingyuan waved to Tian Binjun, "Come here."

"Brother." Tian Binjun dismounted, not knowing why.

"You lead your generals to guard the town on behalf of Qiao Song to prevent the Beihu cavalry from attacking."

Tian Binjun shook his head without thinking and whispered, "Brother, I don't want to."

"Little General Qin can't defend it, let alone me."

"Too dangerous."

Liu Jingyuan frowned tightly, "Choose another person to be stationed with you. Choose the person you trust the most. It's best if your interests are hard to give up."

"Bing Jun." Liu Jingyuan lowered his voice, "Whether you can continue to be rich and well-dressed depends on whether you can shut up Zhen Zhen."

"I'll shut up Qiao Song."

Tian Binjun still looked reluctant and raised his hand to point at someone casually.

"Qiao Song, do you feel at ease now?"

"Take your troops out of town and stay at the pass."

Xie Yan "Naturally."

"General, give my soldiers another half an hour to rest."

Did you kidnap the eldest girl of the Lu family? 】
