Chapter 334: Little Bodhisattva
"If necessary, we can consider joining forces with the northern Hu to stage a drama and hand over the Zhenzhiguan Pass to them."
Tian Yinjun was stunned. "Brother, this is treason."
Liu Jingyuan finally couldn't stand it anymore, slapped him and shouted, "What are you yelling about!"
"What are you yelling about!"
"Don't want to live anymore?"
"If you hadn't shot that useless young general of the Qin family to death with one sword, would I have needed to plan so painstakingly?"
Tian Yinjun covered his face and stammered with lingering fear, "Brother, I am really loyal to you and have always cared about you. I didn't think so much at the time."
"I, I didn't mean it."
"But I really don't dare to do anything that would involve treason."
"Brother, I don't have the courage."
"Collaboration with the enemy and treason will result in the extermination of all nine generations of the clan."
Liu Jingyuan took a deep breath and said, "If it weren't for Zhi Zhongxin, I wouldn't be so worried and distressed."
"Remember, this is not treason, it is to help your majesty solve his problems."
"If you do it well, His Majesty will not punish you, but reward you."
Tian Yinjun hesitated, "Can't we just kill Old Lady Xie?"
"No!" Liu Jingyuan said without hesitation, "Just follow my orders."
"If you can do this job well, I will never interfere with your taking a concubine again, nor will I force you to stay with Mao'er alone."
Tian Yunjun's eyes lit up. "I promise to complete the task."
Liu Jingyuan became even angrier.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Xie Yan led his troops to withdraw from Zhenzhi Pass, while Tian Yinjun and the generals from another camp led their troops to station in.
In and out.
The town was completely quiet and daybreak was approaching.
The town was stuck outside the customs.
Xie Yan rode a horse, walking side by side with Liu Jingyuan.
Liu Jingyuan was no longer cautious and said in a sinister tone, "General Qiao is really courageous. I was shortsighted before and didn't realize that General Qiao has such high aspirations and great ambitions."
The next sentence after "ambitions are higher than the sky" is "life is thinner than paper".
What's the use of having good courage? You need good eyesight.
If you can't figure out your majesty's thoughts, no matter how much you do, you will end up dead.
Xie Yan glanced at Liu Jingyuan lightly.
Although his eyes were dull and emotionless, Liu Jingyuan was able to detect the disgust and contempt in them, which made him furious and he gripped the reins tighter and tighter.
"General, you better be careful. It won't be good if you startle Marco again."
"As a great general of the Northern Territory, it is hard not to doubt his riding skills when he makes stunning achievements again and again."
Xie Yan retracted his gaze and said nonchalantly.
Liu Jingyuan was about to explode with anger.
I also heard Xie Yan say, "As for the ambition that is higher than the sky, I would like to say, how can a sparrow understand the ambition of a swan?"
"General Liu is trying to be a man of his own making, but Qiao doesn't want that."
"Qiao is a general of Daqian. I guard the north and I should be responsible for the people of the north."
"The general did nothing and repeatedly turned a blind eye to the suffering of the people stranded in the town. Qiao was afraid of the general's power and once gave in, but in the middle of the night, I woke up with a guilty conscience."
"As a general, wearing heavy armor, holding a sharp weapon, supported by the people's taxes, he never thought of his responsibility to protect the people and defend the territory, and allowed the Northern Hu cavalry to trample on our land at will, burning, killing, looting, and doing whatever they wanted."
"Qiao has asked himself over and over again, he really can't remain indifferent."
"If a general does not want to defend his land and his people, he might as well take off his armor and go back to his hometown to farm."
Xie Yan did not deliberately lower his voice, and it slowly drifted into the ears of the soldiers behind him.
Liu Jingyuan's face turned livid.
Is Qiao Song pointing his finger at him and scolding him?
He could already imagine the storm these words would stir up, enough to shake the morale of the army and make the northern soldiers question him.
"Qiao Song." Liu Jingyuan gritted his teeth.
Xie Yan said calmly, "General, what advice do you have?"
"This general is not unwilling to defend the land and the people, but is acting on the overall situation..."
"General, I, Qiao, am humble and don't understand the overall situation." Xie Yan interrupted Liu Jingyuan and said, "General, let's leave the overall situation you mentioned to someone in a high position and power, so as not to talk about it to a cow."
"Qiao's vision is not big enough, and his level is not high enough."
Liu Jingyuan smiled but didn't smile. "Forget it. You don't understand my difficulties. I don't blame you."
Then, he changed the subject, "Qiao Song, when did you learn how to shoot?"
"It is said that you wield a long spear, sweeping away thousands of troops, as cool and sharp as the wind."
Xie Yan said calmly, "Always."
"But I had evil thoughts in my heart and wanted to take shortcuts and please the general. Therefore, I always looked down on others and wanted to win the general's favor so that I could be promoted."
"Why, does the general know how to shoot?"
Liu Jingyuan: There is no need to be so direct.
At this moment, Liu Jingyuan could hardly suppress the murderous intent in his heart.
No matter what method he used, slander or assassination, he would cut Qiao Song into pieces to vent his hatred.
…
A few days passed slowly through my fingers.
The continuous heavy rains in Wanxing and Beiba counties have finally come to an end.
The streets were in a mess.
Epidemic prevention has become the top priority.
Lu Mingchao took out the things he had prepared in advance to help the people of the two counties overcome the new round of difficulties.
In the hearts of the people of Wanxing and Beiba, Mr. Lu of Chaofu Trading Company is a little Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering, and his reputation is growing.
Many common people spontaneously built shrines for Lu Mingchao in their homes, offering him a longevity tablet and calling him a little bodhisattva.
At this time, the news from the north also spread throughout Daqian.
Because Grandpa Xie led the remnants of the army and the common people to repel the Northern Hu army, the surname Xie, which had been prominent for a hundred years and then disappeared for nearly four years, has once again become famous.
There were voices on the streets questioning whether the charges of treason against the Xie family were true.
The people are not like the court. It is harder to stop the people from speaking than to stop a river. If you block it and it bursts, many people will be hurt. The same is true for the people.
The emperor can kill court officials to shock his ministers, but he cannot kill all the people in the world.
"Qiao Song?" Lu Mingchao's eyes sparkled and sparkled.
Qiao Song, it must be A Yan.
Lu Mingchao didn't even need to verify it.
Her Ah Yan has family hatred in his heart, but also national justice.
Lu Yao held the scroll tightly, his eyes fixed on it, "Qiao Song is definitely not a good person."
"Although he is a general of a battalion in the Northern Frontier Army, he is actually a man of many bad deeds. His behavior is even more despicable than that of a bandit who kills and robs people. He is a loyal lackey under Liu Jingyuan's command."
"However, in this battle, he became famous and renowned, completely overshadowing the ugly past."
"This Qiao Song is not that Qiao Song." Lu Mingchao said with a smile in his voice.
Lu Yao raised his eyes and asked, "Xie Yan?"
Lu Mingchao said, "Eight or nine out of ten."
"He is unpopular, and when the truth comes out in the future, it will be easier for Ah Yan to replace him."
"General Ah Yan has made such a big noise, and his voice has startled everyone. I'm afraid Liu Jingyuan wants to get rid of him as soon as possible."
"In today's Northland, Liu Jingyuan is still the most powerful."
Lu Yao closed the book and said, "Xie Yan is not a soft-hearted person."
"If he could kill Qiao Song, why couldn't he kill a few more evil camp generals?"
"He has a master of disguise."
"Instead of worrying about him, worry about your situation."
"The dog emperor is still ruthless."
Lu Mingchao's plan
