Chapter 659: Think of a
way He responded respectfully and ran to pass on the order. As for whether the order was reasonable or not, and whether he should advise His Majesty, it was not his job as an attendant. He put himself in a very correct position.
After the attendants left, Yan Sheng did not let General Jie Liancheng sit idle. He directly assigned a hundred soldiers to him and asked him to keep an eye on every move in Huangsha City.
After Long Zhantian was killed in the battle, although there are still some young generals in his army, they are basically not very capable. If they are asked to take a hundred soldiers with them, they may never come back.
Although Jie Liancheng is a rough guy, he does have some strength. Instead of letting him lie here and be an eyesore, it would be better to find something to do to get rid of him.
A hundred soldiers were nothing to Yan Sheng, and he could suppress them with a flick of his hand.
On the other hand, if these one hundred soldiers know Liancheng, the probability of completing the mission will increase a lot, and at worst they can escape safely.
Of course, among these one hundred soldiers, Yan Sheng, the faction's confidant, would still be sent, and a deputy general would be airdropped directly to Jie Liancheng.
Xie Liancheng, who had anticipated this, did not show any surprise.
After seeing Jie Liancheng retreat, a hint of ferocity flashed in Yan Sheng's eyes, whose irritability had not yet completely subsided.
"Call that eunuch in, and everyone else get out!"
After the order was given, the servants in the hall quickly retreated, and a man in eunuch's clothes walked in with a tense face.
It was the eunuch who was guarding the bed in Yan Sheng's bedroom at that time.
When he saw the other person, Yan Sheng kicked him to the ground without saying a word. Then, as if he still felt unsatisfied, he walked up and kicked him again, making the eunuch scream in pain.
In the end, he even stepped between the other person's legs, his face full of violence.
The eunuch's penis had been castrated long ago, so Yan Sheng's action at this time was more like humiliating him.
Looking at the eunuch lying on the ground, crying in pain and begging for mercy, Yan Sheng revealed a sinister smile.
"What? Are you unhappy? Do you think I didn't play well?"
Hearing this, the eunuch trembled, and while enduring the pain, he squeezed out a few words.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you played well. I am happy."
The eunuch's voice was trembling when he said this.
"Happy? Why aren't you smiling if you're happy?!"
As Yan Sheng spoke, he rolled his shoe hard.
The eunuch was so painful that he turned pale, but knowing Yan Sheng's character well, he finally forced himself to smile, which was uglier than crying.
"The slave is laughing. Laughing..."
During this time, the servants and guards who were standing outside the house were all silent. They felt a little sympathy for the eunuch's experience, but that was all they could feel.
Knowing the temperament of their Emperor, who would dare to plead for him? At the same time, Xie Liancheng, who had assembled a hundred soldiers, had already set out.
While riding on horseback, he glanced at the deputy general who was half a horse's length behind him out of the corner of his eye.
In the past, he didn't care about the existence of this 'deputy general' at all. After all, he had no intention of rebelling from the beginning, so he was naturally not afraid of having a 'deputy general' watching him.
But the situation is different now. The appearance of Zhou Xu has brought about a huge change in his situation. From Jie Liancheng's perspective, this "deputy general" is somewhat of an eyesore.
[We have to find a way to deal with this guy, and then meet up with Hongxu. ]
As a modern man, compared with the indigenous people here, Xie Liancheng's brain is relatively sharp. He quickly came up with ideas along the way.
On the third day after leaving Black Stone City, after setting out in the morning, after only walking for two hours, Xie Liancheng estimated the distance and raised his hand to signal the troops to stop.
"Let's do it here. There are Centaur mercenaries across the street. If we set up camp too close to them, they will keep harassing us at night and that will be troublesome."
Although the deputy general was a spy arranged by Yan Sheng, he nodded in agreement with Jie Liancheng's decision.
A simple camp was quickly set up, and Xie Liancheng turned around and called his deputy general to his tent.
Upon hearing the general's call, the deputy general's body tensed up unconsciously.
There was no other way. Who could blame their great general for his bad reputation? Among all the civil and military officials in the court, he was the only one who dared to act wildly in front of their Majesty the First Emperor and was still fine.
"I wonder what the general wants to see me about?"
Throughout the entire process, the deputy general behaved extremely cautiously, fearing that if he said a wrong word he would be targeted by Jie Liancheng.
During this time, Xie Liancheng arranged things without even raising his head.
"Since we have to keep an eye on Huangsha City's every move, it is definitely not possible to guard this camp all the time. We'd better send out a small reconnaissance team to keep an eye on the vicinity of Huangsha City and also be on guard to prevent the enemy's troops from approaching without our knowledge."
Hearing this, the deputy general nodded subconsciously.
And Xie Liancheng continued to speak...
"Considering that there are Centaur mercenaries on the other side who have the ability to operate at night, it is best for our reconnaissance and patrol teams to be divided into day and night shifts for rotation."
The deputy general nodded again, while Xie Liancheng was still talking...
"The camp is safe most of the time, so there's no need to worry. The reconnaissance team near Huangsha City has a lot of situations to deal with, so they each need to arrange a capable person to lead the team."
As he spoke, Xie Liancheng's gaze fell on the deputy general.
At this moment, even if the deputy general was slow, he should have reacted.
"I?"
"To be precise, it's you and me. There are no other generals in this team except the two of us."
Xie Liancheng curled his lips speechlessly.
"I don't know what your Majesty is thinking. He gave me a hundred soldiers and horses, but there are no generals to use. I need to lead the team in person for such a small matter!"
Having said that, Xie Liancheng glanced at the deputy general who seemed to have something to say.
"Why? Are you not happy? Is it unfair for you to lead a reconnaissance team like this general?"
When Xie Liancheng said this, his tone became obviously unfriendly, and the deputy general was so scared that he couldn't help but shiver.
"No, no! The general has given an order, and I dare not disobey!"
As he spoke, the deputy general knelt down on one knee.
Don't forget, this is a bad guy. If you make someone angry, he will just chop himself up and he will have no place to appeal.
Although the deputy general did not forget the order of their Majesty, he had to be smart if he wanted to live long.
Moreover, in the deputy general's opinion, they only have a total of 100 soldiers. When they go out to perform reconnaissance missions, considering the shifts and the fact that they have to leave people to guard the camp, a team has at most 20 to 30 people. Although the general is brave, can he still use this small number of people to usurp the throne? (End of this chapter)
