Tiantang Splendid

The drizzle was dripping down, and the military barracks stretching for more than ten miles outside the Chunming Gate were shrouded in the autumn rain. Juma and deer villages were placed everywhere, and groups of soldiers in full armor were patrolling to and fro. Solemn and solemn, murderous.

Liu Dewei got out of the carriage, watched his son being escorted to a barracks beside him, with a gloomy expression, ignoring the muddy water splashing on the hem of his shoes and clothes, he strode towards the camp of the Chinese army.

Waiting outside the door for a while, Li Dazhi turned around and led him into the big tent...

The light in the tent was a bit dim, and a candle was lit on the desk. Li Jing was sitting behind the desk in military uniform, opening a battle report. When he saw Liu Dewei coming in, he didn't get up, but nodded slightly: "Brother Dewei, please sit down for a while." , I will read this battle report first."

Even though he was burning with anxiety, Liu Dewei knew the truth that the battle report was the first in the military camp, so he nodded and said, "Please, Mr. Wei."

Then sit down.

Li Dazhi acted as a servant and brought him a cup of tea...

Liu Dewei took it, put it aside and didn't drink, just sat there as if on pins and needles, his heart pounding.He really didn't have much confidence in begging Li Jing to stay under the knife. Although Li Ji was recognized by the Tang army as the most rigorous and ruthless in running the army, Li Jing, who was the No. 1 commander in the world, did not hesitate.

In particular, Li Jing is old, senior, and has made great achievements. Anyone who is short in front of him will be a head lower than him.
But the matter is related to the life and death of his son and the rise and fall of his family, and he has to meet Li Jing...

After a long time, Li Jing raised his head, glanced at Liu Dewei, without going around the corner, directly handed the battle report in his hand to Li Dazhi who stood standing beside him, motioned him to show it to Liu Dewei, and then said: "The purpose of my brother's coming here is originally Shuai already has guesses, but if you have anything to say, please ask the late emperor to read this battle report before saying anything.”

Liu Dewei frowned, the rhythm was tightly controlled by Li Jing, which was extremely unfavorable to him, but this place is Li Jing's territory, and the army promises everything, and there is really no way to turn against the customer...

I had no choice but to take the battle report from Li Dazhi and read it at a glance.

This is the battle report just sent from the south of the city. You Houwei has captured the entire Shenheyuan, Hongguyuan, and Fengqiyuan. Start to mobilize gradually.

And as Yu Chigong arrived in the south of Chang'an City, Chang'an was shocked, and the scouts had detected that many troops stationed in various places in Guanzhong showed faint signs of mobilization...

It can be said that the consequences of Liu Yanjing's defeat in this battle were so serious that they couldn't be worse. Don't say that the canonical punishment was used to warn others.

Li Jing asked indifferently: "I love my son's heart, I feel the same, but the military law is like a mountain, Liu Yanjing was not only defeated, but also fled the battle and abandoned the robes of more than ten thousand soldiers, so greedy for life and afraid of death, violated military discipline, should he die?"

Liu Dewei put down the battle report, clenched his palms subconsciously, pondered for a while, and said in a shy voice: "The crime is heinous, and death will not be punished."

Li Jing raised his eyebrows, and sighed: "It's rare that my virtuous brother understands righteousness. You and I are both fathers, but we have both been in command of the army. This commander can't bear to enforce the military law, but if Liu Yanjing is not sentenced to death, what is the military law? ? If everyone follows suit, what is the morale of the army? Please mourn my virtuous brother! Li Dazhi!"

"The end is here!"

Li Dazhi hurriedly stood up.

Li Jing resolutely said: "Push Liu Yanjing out of the gate, read out the charges, and declare the canonical punishment, so as to serve as an example to others!"

"Here!"

"Wait!"

Li Dazhi was about to go out, but was stopped by Liu Dewei's shout.

Li Jing's expression turned serious, he stared at Liu Dewei, and said in a deep voice, "Pengcheng County Government wants to bend the law for personal gain?"

As the No.1 handsome man in the world, he is majestic and murderous. At this moment, he is not polite under the displeasure, just imposing.

Liu Dewei was unmoved, and said to Li Dazhi: "You go out first, I have something to talk to Wei Gong in private."

Li Dazhi looked at Li Jing.

Li Jing pondered for a while, and waved his hands. Li Dazhi quickly retreated, stood outside the door and lowered the curtain to stand guard in person, so as not to be approached by others to eavesdrop.

Inside the tent, Li Jing looked at Liu Dewei and said displeasedly: "The military law committed by Liu Yanjing is unforgivable and death penalty is unforgivable. You were also a general in the army back then, so you must have completely forgotten the military discipline of the Tang Dynasty?"

Liu Dewei looked solemn, and said slowly: "Military law is like a mountain, Liu Yanjing should be punished for his crime."

Li Jing said nothing, he knew that the other party had something to say.

Liu Dewei paused for a moment, then looked directly at Li Jing: "Liu Yanjing is certainly guilty, but you, Mr. Wei, are also to blame."

As soon as this remark came out, the atmosphere in the tent instantly dropped. Li Jing stopped his waist and his eyes were burning, like a tiger picking someone to eat, he burst out every word: "What is the crime of this commander? This place is the tent of the Chinese army. I warn you not to slander casually and disregard military discipline, otherwise don't blame me for not thinking about the old robes."

Liu Dewei was not afraid at all, and leaned his upper body slightly forward, looking at Li Jing: "Liu Yanjing was young and never led an army by himself. Why did Duke Wei take him as a general and lead the army under such an urgent battle situation? Duke Wei can't know people who are good. Ren is the main person responsible for this defeat."

Ignoring Li Jing's shining eyes, he pointed to the battle report he had read just now, and continued: "The battle report stated that Liu Yanjing built a camp on the spot in Fengqiyuan, and he neither made rash advances nor made mistakes in decision-making. The soldiers let go of the gates of the camp and led the rebels into the camp, which led to a big defeat... With all due respect, the number of this army is about [-], and the forces of all parties are mixed, and the background is difficult to distinguish. It is a huge hidden danger to have a powerful team anywhere, so why did Duke Wei hand over such an army to an inexperienced young general like Liu Yanjing to carry out such an important task?"

Speaking of this, he didn't need Li Jing's answer, he took a deep breath and asked, "Can I believe that Duke Wei's intention of doing this is not to stop the rebels, but to carry out the poisonous plan of killing people with a knife, and use the power of the rebels to wipe them out completely?" Eradicate it, so as to achieve the goal of eliminating the Six Rates of the Eastern Palace and even other forces around His Majesty?"

In the current situation, the emperor sits in the center and fights against the rebels, and all forces support their own self-respect, surrounded by wolves.

The ultimate victory or defeat is not between the emperor and the king of Jin, but lies in the garrisons scattered all over Guanzhong and the clans who can influence these garrisons.

Guan Long's defeat was due to the failure of the mutiny, and it was common for them to be liquidated and faced with suppression. This was the price of failure, and the rest of the clans all stood on the sidelines.But now among the Six Commanders of the East Palace, the troops that do not belong to the emperor's direct lineage are going to be eradicated so viciously by Li Jing, who can't help but feel sad?

As long as this matter is leaked out, it will inevitably arouse the resentment of all the clans and forces, and the distrust of the emperor will intensify, which is very likely to become the key to turning the situation around.

Killing Liu Yanjing will confirm Liu Dewei's guess, and Li Jing will bear all the consequences arising from it.

Not to kill Liu Yanjing, but to forgive him, it shows that Li Jing has no secret and vicious plans in his heart, a normal defeat, since he is the number one marshal in the world, dispatching troops to make up for it...

Li Jing was furious, he slapped the case in front of him hard, and shouted: "Presumptuous! Are you threatening me?"

Liu Dewei lowered his head slightly, remained silent for a while, and said in a shy voice: "The life and death of the son and the honor and disgrace of the family are at stake. I have no choice but to make a bad decision. Duke Wei, don't worry, if the consequences are unpredictable, it will be detrimental to your Majesty. Your Majesty When I hit my head and died in the Xianling Mausoleum, I apologize."

Of course he knew that his words would become an excuse to attack the emperor, which meant that he would completely stand against the emperor and would never stop dying.

But what can he do?

The son must be saved, and the family's reputation must not be lost...

What's more, who dares to say that Li Jing's real purpose is not what he guessed?
Li Jing stared at Liu Dewei coldly.

As Liu Dewei's "hero of Yuan Cong", if he really stands up and accuses him of deliberately "repelling dissidents" by sending other forces to the battlefield to die under the emperor's order, then the consequences will be unpredictable, and a huge disaster will happen. Political storms are inevitable.

The emperor's reputation will be shaken...

The atmosphere in the tent was dignified and quiet, only the sound of light rain lowering the tent and the sound of galloping war horses outside the tent could be faintly heard.

After a long time, Li Jing asked in a deep voice, "Are you really planning to do this?"

Liu Dewei hesitated for a moment, struggling in his heart, because he knew the consequences of such an approach, but finally nodded, gritted his teeth and said, "Besides this, there is no other way."

"very good."

Li Jing said indifferently: "Then I will fulfill you."

Liu Dewei's face suddenly changed.

Li Jing has already shouted: "Li Dazhi!"

"The end is here!"

Li Dazhi walked in from outside the account.

"Liu Yanjing fled in front of the battle, and his crime deserves to be punished. He was taken to the gate outside the gate to show the public, and the head was spread throughout the army, so as to serve as an example!"

"Here!"

Li Dazhi got the order, turned around and strode out.

Liu Dewei got up abruptly, stared at Li Jing with tearing eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Li Yaoshi, you have such a vicious heart! You actually used my son as a knife to persecute the power of the family, and completely disrupted the wind and rain in Guanzhong. His heart is to be punished!"

At this point, he finally understood that the reason why his son was able to lead an army alone was entirely Li Jing's calculations. He used a big defeat to wipe out all the "dissidents" mixed in the emperor's army , to achieve the goal of completely controlling the Six Rates of the Eastern Palace.

At the same time, the disobedient people in various places in Guanzhong will inevitably "die the rabbit and the fox will be sad" because of this, and the heart of disobedience that was originally hidden becomes more and more intense, and it is not known that they will completely stand on the side of King Jin...

It’s just that he couldn’t figure it out. The current situation is still very urgent. The rebel army arrived at the city of Chang’an. Most of the more than [-] troops around Chang’an took a wait-and-see attitude. The garrisons controlled by powerful clans all over the country?
Isn't he afraid of self-defeating?
