(ps2: Thank you for the domineering support of Young Marshal Swen, and for the support of the robber and the savage brother.)
After resting at the foot of the mountain for two days, the team continued to move forward. Two days was not enough for the soldiers to digest the great event of Dugu Zhen's death. When the team started, people were still talking. However, Li Xian was a person who came to this era unexpectedly from his previous life. No one cared more about controlling public opinion and guiding it. No one was more mature than his methods. After all, in his previous life, he had enough experience to borrow.
The truth about Dugu Zhen trying to poison General Yan and General Xue to seize military power was spread to everyone's ears as fast as possible after the spread of the Flying Tiger Spy. The soldiers were very interested in such news. One transmission of ten thousand and one hundred thousand, and in less than half a day, almost everyone in the team of more than 20,000 people knew that Dugu Zhen had a sinister face.
"Do you know? It is said that Dugu Zhen told our General Yan the day before yesterday that he wanted military power. General Yan general Xiong's 1,000 heavy armor and other eight thousand horses were distributed to him. That guy was not finished yet. He actually dared to poison General Yan to murder General Yan to plan to rob the military power. He invited General Xue together, saying that he was asking General Yan and General Xue to drink, but in fact he poisoned him in the wine! He also ambushed people outside the tent. If General Yan had not assigned Captain Xiong to Dugu Zhen, the guy who happened to meet him, I was afraid that General Yan and General Xue would have been too early to have the vicious weapon."
"Yes, what's this? This is called a snake swallowing an elephant insufficiency. Those who come from wealthy families don't have a fucking good thing!"
"You can't say that, General Xue is good."
"That's right, but it's just General Xue. Old thief Yuwen Shu has betrayed everyone? Look, General Xue Shixiong has lost his son. People from this aristocratic family are inhumane!"
"General Yan rescued us all, and Dugu Zhen dared to take the blame. Human touch? I think he is not as good as a pig or a dog."
"Look, General Xue is carrying over there, right?"
"Well, it is said that the poisoning is quite deep."
"General Yan seems to be better and drink the least amount of wine."
"But speaking of this, Dugu Zhen is really cruel. Anyway, if I don't dare to pour poison into my stomach, I don't dare to even have the antidote in my hand. Not only is it cruel to others, but also to myself. Dugu Zhen is indeed a character!"
"You idiots still have the heart to laugh!"
A team was saying coldly: "What's the point of being happy about Dugu Zhen's death? You don't think about it. Dugu Zhen is the clan brother of Dugu Xue, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice. If Dugu Zhen dies like this, he will give up? As soon as General Yan goes back, he will immediately become the target of public criticism! Not to mention the credit, it would be good to be able to save his life. General Yan came from a poor family and could fight against the Dugu family? You still have the heart to laugh, think about it, how did General Yan treat you!"
"yes!"
Someone suddenly realized, "Will General Yan be implicated?"
"Damn it! I know that my life was saved by General Yan. If the court really dares to treat General Yan, I will be rebelling!"
"Shh! You fucking quiet, you're going to die."
"I'm afraid of a ball!"
...
...
"General, I have made two stretchers. You are weak and should have a rest. I think you should lie down for a while. I will find a few strong and healthy soldiers to carry you, so that you will not bump!"
Wang Qinian gathered behind Li Xian and said flatteringly.
Li Xian smiled and said, "If I were lying on a stretcher, would you guess the team still be so honest?"
Wang Qinian was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Li Xian meant. Although it seemed that the soldiers were all standing on Li Xian's side, there was no one in the team of more than 20,000 people, and no one knew whether anyone wanted to take advantage of the situation. If Li Xian also lay down, not to mention whether morale would be affected and whether the morale would be in chaos, but to just say whether there were others to make trouble. This is unpredictable.
Dugu really died, it was like throwing a big stone into the lake, and there was no wind and waves. If everyone saw that Li Xian was no longer able to control the overall situation, there would definitely be some people who thought they could benefit from it. After all, a team of more than 20,000 people had all kinds of people. Many lieutenants also came from aristocratic families. They might not have much friendship with Dugu Zhen, but the family behind them must have close ties with the Dugu family.
The soldiers could think that because Dugu really died, the people of the Dugu family would definitely make some moves after they returned. In addition, the generals of each army fled in panic, and a boy from a poor family brought back a team of more than 20,000 people. Can those generals tolerate General Yan? In front of so many families, the emperor could only stand on the side of the aristocratic family. Those who came from ordinary soldiers naturally knew more about the truth that those aristocratic families could think of.
Therefore, many people have to make a choice after Dugu Zhen dies.
Although none of the people from aristocratic families in the team are the main members of their respective families, this does not mean that they have no power. These people who were abandoned by their own family did not die in Sashui, and they are more or less grateful to Li Xian, but when it comes to their future and destiny, they will never stand on Li Xian's side.
So, let alone Li Xian was not poisoned, even if he was really poisoned, he would never lie on a stretcher.
"Xiongkuohai, divide your law enforcement army into ten teams. You personally take people back and forth to patrol. If you find someone deliberately disrupts the morale of the army, kill them."
Li Xian ordered in a low voice.
Xiong Kuohai clasped his fists and said, "Subordinate obeys the order."
"Iron Fanglang, Liu Man, Luo Fu, Chao Qiuge, you four, each of you will be supported by five hundred cavalry on both wings of the army. If anyone instigates a mutiny, kill."
"Wang Qinian!"
"I'm here!"
Li Xian looked at Wang Qinian and said word by word: "Take the soldiers of your baggage camp to take care of me. If someone rebelled, he would definitely attack the baggage camp first. Therefore, the baggage camp is the top priority. I will then transfer the Dongfang Liehuo to lead 500 cavalry to protect the food and grass with you. If something goes wrong, I will chop off your heads!"
Dongfang Liehuo said: "Sir, obey the order!"
Wang Qinian said seriously: "General, I think the Eastern Captain is enough to take on this important task..."
"OK!"
Li Xian nodded and said, "Dongfang Liehuo brings people to protect the baggage camp. If something goes wrong with the baggage camp, he will live and I will cut you down."
Wang Qinian shrank his neck and smiled embarrassedly, "What, I am just ease my tension. General, do you know, where is the baggage camp? That is my hometown of Wang Qinian. To protect the baggage camp, my subordinates will do their best as much as protecting their hometown!"
Li Xianxin said how miserable the people in your hometown are, but he nodded and said, "Then go back and protect your hometown."
He called Chen Que'er and said, "You have personally taken the people you mentioned yesterday to keep an eye on. If they want to make trouble, I don't mind sending them all to the underworld and Dugu Zhen to accompany them."
Chen Que'er whispered: "I understand, I have sent someone to stare at me last night."
Li Xian nodded and said, "I'll go and talk to Xue Wanche."
...
...
Xue Wanche, who was lying on the stretcher, was still very weak. I don’t know if it was the sunlight that was a bit dazzling or if he didn’t want to see anyone. From the team to the present, Xue Wanche has not opened his eyes. His face was still ugly, and there was almost no blood on his face.
Xue Wanche's brows were very tight, and he didn't know if it was because Yu Du was not clear, so he was still a little painful, or if there was something in his heart that was difficult to tell. It seemed that there was a hint of disgust between his eyebrows.
In fact, the brigade leader of almost all the brigade leaders from aristocratic families in the army last night, and the purpose of these people to come to see him was not just to greet him. At the beginning, they said it was rather obscure. Seeing that Xue Wanche was not right, a few people simply made it clear that they were willing to support him as the commander of the army. The reason was very simple. They didn't want to follow Yan Yun to die, so they could only let Yan Yun die.
This is exactly what Xue Wanche is worried about.
He knew that those people were right. As long as Yan Yun brought his men back to Liaodong City, the generals who had already escaped would never give up. If Yan Yun had no qualifications, no backing, no background, had been plotted by the generals, he would not even have any room for fight back in an instant. Even if the emperor appreciated him, what would happen if the emperor had forgotten Yan Yun? Not to mention that the emperor might have forgotten Yan Yun long ago, even if he still thought about Yan Yun, would the emperor offend so many wealthy families for him?
Yuwen Shu, Yu Zhongwen, Jing Yuanheng, Wang Rengong, who do not represent a powerful family behind these people? No matter how confused your Majesty is, he can tell the difference! Not to mention that so many aristocratic families stand against Yan Yun, just one of the Dugu family, Yan Yun's ending is only a dead end. Dugu Xue is so cruel that even the King of Hell is afraid of him.
However, Xue Wanche had never thought about harming Yan Yun. Just because on the north bank of Sashui that day, Li Xian saved his life from Goguryeo's spear. Just because Yan Yun was a man of paradise in his eyes, he couldn't take action. Unlike most people from aristocratic families, Xue Shixiong's teachings to their brothers have always been very different from those of Yuwen Shu and others. Xue Shixiong once told Xue Wanche that if you can help with things in the officialdom, we will not harm you. Our Xue family is not the Yuwen family or the Dugu family. The reason why we have not fallen over the years is because we have never harmed anyone for our father.
Xue Wanche has always remembered this sentence and has never forgotten it.
"Does it feel better?"
While thinking about it, Xue Wanche suddenly heard someone whispering in his ear. He heard it was Yan Yun's voice. He opened his eyes and smiled, "It's much better, thank you General Yan for thinking about it."
Li Xian smiled and said, "I asked Dugu, and he said he had already cleared the poison for you. You vomited all the black things all over the floor, but as long as you vomit, it would be nothing serious. But your body would definitely be very weak. Besides, why did you thank me for? Why did you suddenly become so distant?"
"See... you saved me twice."
Xue Wanche said sadly.
Li Xian waved his hand and said, "General Xue has saved me twice. Once on the Liao River, and next on the Pyongyang City. We don't need to say such polite words between us."
"Yan Yun..."
Xue Wanche thought for a while and said, "If we can return to Liaodong City safely, what are you going to do?"
Li Xian smiled bitterly and said, "Guess, am I waiting to be killed hundreds of times or run away?"
Xue Wanche was stunned and gave Li Xian a blank look and said, "You actually have the intention to joke!"
Li Xian said: "Then what else do you think I can do? Do I have any other way to go? Of course, there must be roads, but I am also uneasy to walk."
"Yan Yun, tell me the truth, why did you send someone to monitor me and Dugu Zhen?"
Xue Wanche suddenly asked.
Li Xian thought about it and replied seriously: "You and Dugu Zhen are both from aristocratic families."
"I just know!"
Xue Wanche smiled bitterly and said, "It's nothing wrong with you doing this, but since you've been wary of Dugu Zhen and me, why don't you just get rid of us? As long as Dugu Zhen and I are dead, who else in the team can threaten your status? You are a good person, but your heart is too soft. I know you are not as pitiful as you said just now. You have already thought about what to do in your heart, right? Don't lie to me, I'm not a fool."
"Kill you?"
Li Xian also said seriously: "When Dugu is dead, some people can't sit still. If you add you, I'm afraid the team will have a mutiny long ago! However, even if there is no mutiny, I can't do it. After all, we all came together."
"well……"
Xue Wanche sighed and said, "You have the same temperament, but you still want to do such a big thing?"
Li Xian said seriously: "Brother Mouyuan, you were wrong."
"I can't do anything to you, but it doesn't mean I can't do anything to others. I'll come to see you, first, I want to see how you recover. Second, I want to tell you, when it comes to killing, I'm actually not timid than anyone else. If I really have to kill, I'm definitely not slower than anyone else."
Xue Wanche frowned and asked tentatively: "Are you going to start killing?"
"If I don't kill anyone, I will kill me!"
Li Xian asked, "What should I do if you say I should do?"
Xue Wanche took a deep breath and said, "Forget it, if you want to kill, then kill it thoroughly!"
Li Xian was stunned, then nodded without saying a word.
On that day, a mutiny occurred in the army returning north. Some people tried to provoke the soldiers to rebel against Li Xian, but were immediately killed by the law enforcement army of Xiong Kuohai and the cavalry led by Luo Fu and others. The lieutenant and brigade were killed more than 20 people, and their personal soldiers were no less than 500. When Xue Wanche learned of this result, he just smiled bitterly and murmured: "Yan Yun... You are forcing me to walk the same way with you to the end."
No one mutinized, Li Xian said there was, so there was.
Li Xian is always humble and courteous when choosing between your death or I die.
