Han Shizu

Chapter 152 I, Murong Yanchao, Wronged

In the South Camp of the Han Army, Gao Xingzhou led the senior generals in the army to personally welcome Liu Zhiyuan into the camp.For several miles along the way, listening to the cheers of "Long live" along the way, Liu Zhiyuan was drunk, no matter how much loyalty and love the soldiers had for him as the emperor, at least this shocking scene made him feel happy.

The pleasure of being the emperor is probably there. The exhaustion of marching for days seems to have dissipated a lot, and the steps are brisk.In order to reassure himself, Liu Zhiyuan called Gao Xingzhou to his side, and walked side by side, with a kind expression on his face, to show his affection and respect.And Gao Xingzhou is also very witty, with modest words and respectful demeanor.

For Liu Zhiyuan's arrival, Gao Xingzhou was in a mixed mood, both relaxed and apprehensive.The experience of many generals in the past two months has exhausted him physically and mentally, dragging his body and limbs, and managing military affairs is really not a small burden.Fortunately, Liu Zhiyuan's attitude was a little more forgiving.

In the Chinese army, they have already been ordered to build a huge imperial tent. In addition to the tent that can accommodate dozens of people, there are also places for administration, martial arts, sleeping, and respect. The facilities are complete and the functions are complete.Among the Han army at this time, there is no shortage of resources in terms of engineering operations, and they have gained experience in building those fortifications.

"Gao Qing and all the soldiers have worked hard!" After sitting down in the tent, looking around, towards the more than ten frontline generals who came to see him, Liu Zhiyuan said in a reassuring tone.

Gao Xingzhou came out and said in a shameful tone: "The ministers are just doing their job. They led the army to attack, but they were frustrated under the city. The crime of waiting. As the commander in chief, I should guard against the crime!"

When Gao Xingzhou said this, his posture was already at the extreme position, and when all the generals heard it, they also came out to bow down in unison: "The last general is guilty, please punish him!"

Murong Yanchao was also included in the apology, and under such circumstances, he did not dare to act independently.

"Excuse me, gentlemen." Liu Zhiyuan comforted himself: "The defeat of Du Chongwei and the trapping of the traitors in the isolated city all depended on the merits of the generals and men, so what is the crime? In my opinion, not only is the general himself innocent, but on the contrary Contributors. The great Han Dynasty was first established, the current situation was turbulent, and the rebels rebelled, and Yingcheng rebelled. The great Han Dynasty still needs everyone to support it together."

"The last general is ashamed to wait!" Liu Zhiyuan said so, and the generals gave him even more face.

The emperor and the generals were extremely harmonious, and the attitude of the emperor was really important. With these comforting words, the depressive and tense atmosphere since the suspension of the soldiers was eliminated a lot.

As a matter of fact, it is impossible that the disturbance in the court in Tokyo would not spread to the army at all. Many generals were worried before that, fearing that Liu Zhiyuan would ask some people to question him after he arrived.But this time, they are settled, the top military leaders are at ease, and the soldiers at the bottom are also at ease.

"However—" Liu Zhiyuan turned around again, with a serious and scary face, and said in a cold voice: "The war in Yedu has indeed dragged on for too long, and Du Ni has been lingering for so long, there should be a result .I personally brought up the army this time to completely wipe out Yedu's rebellion!"

After saying this, all the generals and schools immediately expressed their opinions in unison. The emperor went to the front line to supervise the battle, and the morale of the army was restored.

"Forbidden troops coming from the north, settle in as soon as possible, and don't make any mistakes!" Liu Zhiyuan ordered after comforting him.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured." Gao Xingzhou assured: "Every battalion has already made proper preparations."

"Gao Qing is doing business, so I can rest assured."

Because of the exhaustion of the chariots and horses, there was no further discussion, so the generals and schools who greeted the drivers were assigned to their duties.The most important thing at the moment is the entry of the Forbidden Army from the north and the adjustment of the defense. Gao Xingzhou, the frontline commander, must personally participate in the dispatch.

After the tent was disbanded, Liu Zhiyuan alone called Murong Yanchao to the imperial tent for questioning, and he came briskly.

Regarding the emperor's visit in person, among the frontline generals, Murong Yanchao was probably the most relaxed, and even a little happy, feeling like the backer had come.

After being led into the tent, seeing Liu Zhiyuan, Murong Yanchao bowed his head and bowed: "Your brother sees the official family."

To Murong Yanchao's surprise, Liu Zhiyuan didn't respond. Looking up, he saw Liu Zhiyuan sitting on his seat, staring at him coldly, his face frosted, completely lacking in the amiable look he had just shown in front of the generals.

Unable to help but wonder, Murong Yanchao straightened up and called softly, "Brother?"

"You, let me call you the official family." Liu Zhiyuan finally spoke, his voice flat.

Hearing this, Murong Yanchao's heart was blocked, and the relaxed smile on the corner of his mouth froze. He raised his head and looked at Liu Zhiyuan. Seeing that he was not joking, his black face became serious, he took a step back, arched his hands, and said in a muffled voice, "Officer official."

"Are you convicted?" Liu Zhiyuan asked.

"What is my crime?" Murong Yanchao tilted his head slightly, stiffened his neck, and asked bluntly.

"What's the crime?" Seeing his attitude, which seemed to be provoking his own authority, Liu Zhiyuan burst out and slammed the table: "Crime of underestimating the army! Crime of building an army! Crime of slandering the army! Shall I count them all for you?"

Liu Zhiyuan's outburst frightened Murong Yanchao, and then with a bitter face, he said a little bit: "I did everything according to your orders?"

Hearing what he said, Liu Zhiyuan became even more angry. He stood up and walked in front of him, pointing his finger outside, and asked, "Is it I who made you disdain and violate discipline and act recklessly? Is it I who made you disobey the restraint and resent the general? Is it I?" Let you sow discord, gossip?"

"You don't listen to the military orders anymore, what else do you want?" Liu Zhiyuan stared at Murong Yanchao coldly: "You have been in the army for many years, don't you know any rules in the army? You are self-willed, self-righteous, and arrogant!"

"First, you attacked without authorization, which led to the defeat of the army, which almost affected the overall situation of the court's suppression of the rebellion. I have repeatedly instructed you to stick to the way of being a general, and you still do not restrain yourself and repent, which leads to the crisis of the army and the turmoil of the soldiers!"

"Which one of these piles is not a capital crime? Hmm?" Liu Zhiyuan's saliva almost sprayed on Murong Yanchao's face.

Murong Yanchao was a little stunned, a wave of resentment rose from his chest, and he said: "Then ask the officials to kill my head and punish me!"

"Do you think I dare not?" Liu Zhiyuan glared at him even louder and cursed.

After staring at Liu Zhiyuan for a while, Murong Yanchao was finally persuaded, so he turned his eyes away.Liu Zhiyuan has always been majestic and intimidating, and he has always been in awe of this big brother, let alone the big brother has become the emperor.

"That Gao Xingzhou stationed a large number of troops under the city. He procrastinated and didn't fight. He only knew how to build those camps. I'm afraid he has evil intentions." Murong Yanchao lowered his head and said a little aggrievedly: "I also think about the country and society of the great man."

"Tell me what else Gao Xingzhou has in mind?" Liu Zhiyuan said sarcastically.

Hearing this, Murong Yanchao raised his head, and said anxiously: "Gao Xingzhou and Du Chongwei are related by marriage. He married her as a daughter. That way of fighting is obviously out of selfish considerations. The officials must be careful."

At the beginning, Murong Yanchao suspected Gao Xingzhou based on this, and fought against him many times.In this day and age, when one strives to a certain position, one may be somewhat related to another, even if the two sides fight to the death on the battlefield, it is not too rare.

"Don't I know?" Liu Zhiyuan yelled again: "If I suspect this matter, how can I pay for it by conquering the army? Hmm?"

"What's more, you don't know how to use your brain?" Lifting Murong Yanchao's breastplate all of a sudden, Liu Zhiyuan stared at him and almost forced out a voice from his throat: "Even if he has a different intention, you want to confront him face to face?"

"If you turn Gao Xingzhou against you, you will be a big man's sinner!" Murong Yanchao was pushed hard by Liu Zhiyuan, took a few steps back, failed to stabilize his figure, and sat directly on the ground.

"If I were Gao Xingzhou, I would definitely kill you to rectify the military law!"

Hearing Liu Zhiyuan's "heart-to-heart" words, Murong Yanchao's expression slowly relaxed. He stood up swiftly, patted the dust off his buttocks, and leaned over: "I'm your brother, he doesn't dare to kill me."

Seeing Murong Yanchao's appearance, Liu Zhiyuan had the urge to slap him in the face, and he couldn't help but get angry: "You have the face to mention it? Before you were in the army, you not only ruined your own reputation, but also my reputation. Face. In order to protect you, I have already endured the infamy of nepotism and disregarding military discipline!"

"I asked you to supervise the army, not to disrupt the army! The battle of Yedu has been delayed until now, you must remember it first!" Liu Zhiyuan said coldly.

Staying there, Murong Yanchao opened his mouth, and finally choked out a sentence in an aggrieved tone: "I'm guilty. Brother, please calm down."

Taking a deep breath, Liu Zhiyuan calmed down, sat back on the seat, and ordered: "Tomorrow, you will apologize to Gao Xingzhou in front of all the generals."

When "I" heard the words, Murong Yanchao immediately had something to say.

"Huh?" Liu Zhiyuan only hummed lightly.

Terrified by the majesty, his expression changed for a while, Murong Yanchao answered with his head down, "Yes!"

"I'm tired, you step back."

After Murong Yanchao retreated, Liu Zhiyuan shook his head and sighed, but after scolding Murong Yanchao, his mood improved a lot.

"Where is King Zhou? Why haven't you seen him?" Liu Zhiyuan asked suddenly after taking a sip of hot tea.

The servant rushed to inquire, and soon came back and said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Zhou Wang went to inspect the camp and observe the enemy's situation."

"Oh. He is..." Hearing this, Liu Zhiyuan's mind was a little complicated.
