Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 994 Seizing Power
The war against Silla brought great benefits to Yuan Gaisuwen, and established great prestige among the soldiers of the three armies, so he did not dare to kill Yuan Gaisuwen, for fear of making the soldiers alienated.

Of course, he still had a thought in his mind, what if Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen were unfavorable in the battle?
At that time, he could only activate Yuan Gai Su Wen. After all, he only doubted Yuan Gai Su Wen's loyalty, not Yuan Gai Su Wen's ability.

Therefore, Gao Jianwu could not kill Yuan Gai Suwen, or even convict him, but could only stabilize Yuan Gai Suwen temporarily.

Yuan Gai Su Wen felt extremely unwilling, kowtowed his head on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I have been deceived by Su Cheng, and I have a mortal hatred with him. Please allow me to be a pawn before the battle. I will definitely kill you before the battle." Su Cheng, to prove my innocence."

Gao Jianwu stepped forward to personally support Yuan Gai Suwen, and said earnestly: "General Yuan, I believe in your loyalty, why do you need to prove your innocence? It's just that Gu really can't bear to let you run around again, so Aiqing should take a good rest in the palace." !"

"Gu has already ordered someone to tidy up the room, so Aiqing can rest assured, come here, and take General Yuan to rest!"

Resting in the palace?This is not recuperation, this is simply house arrest, he is going to be put under house arrest in the palace!

Yuan Gai Suwen couldn't help but his heart sank when he heard that, if he was put under house arrest in the palace, it would be tantamount to cutting him off from the outside world, and he could only resign himself to fate.

It can be seen from this that the king still has doubts about him, and even resents him a little bit. If the army repels the Tang army, then waiting for him must be settled after autumn.

Following the servant on the road in the palace, although Yuan Gai Suwen looked calm, his heart was full of turmoil.

There was only one servant leading the way, as if the king was not on guard against him at all, but Yuan Gai Suwen knew that the palace was already heavily guarded, even if he was vain and brave, he would not be able to rush out.

Besides, so what if you can rush out?

If he rushes out, he is a traitor. Although he is very prestigious among the soldiers, it is impossible for the soldiers of the three armies to rebel with him. Although he has prestige, he has not yet reached that level, and the time is not yet.

Now he can only place his hopes on the generals, hoping that they can write the letter together. Now that the situation is critical, perhaps the king and his ministers will have no choice but to agree to the generals' request.

If the generals failed to change the king's decision, then he could only hope that the army would fail, because only in this way could he have the chance to lead the army and have a chance of survival.

In the big camp, a group of generals gathered in the big tent of the Chinese army to wait for Yuan Gai Suwen to return to the camp.

"Why hasn't the commander come back?" Waiting is very anxious.

"Maybe the commander-in-chief is drinking imperial wine and eating a royal banquet in the palace right now! Our army conquered Silla this time, and we were invincible and invincible. We almost destroyed Goguryeo. The commander-in-chief has contributed the most!"

"That's right, the commander-in-chief has made meritorious service, so it is impossible for the king to do anything to the commander-in-chief, right?"

"I'm afraid the king won't trust the commander-in-chief!"

"We are just making wild guesses here, and we will find out later. If the commander-in-chief has not returned by tomorrow, then we will go to the city together to see the king!"

Just as everyone was discussing endlessly because of the anxiety of waiting, some soldiers rushed in.

"Report to all generals, the king's envoys have arrived at the camp!"

Didn't wait for the commander to come, but waited for the king's envoy?
Since it was the king's envoys who arrived, it was natural to greet them. A group of generals immediately prepared to greet them, but just as they walked out of the tent, they saw a group of people entering the camp, followed by many carriages.

The two leaders, riding tall horses, were the generals of the court, Gao Yanshou in the north and Gao Huizhen in the south. The generals in the army naturally knew these two generals in the court.

"Meet the two generals!"

A group of generals hurriedly saluted. Although they were very contemptuous of Gao Yanshou's loss of Liaodong, after all, Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen were dignitaries in the court.

"The generals don't need to be too polite. We came here to reward the soldiers of the three armies according to the king's order. The king said that although you failed to capture Silla, you won consecutive battles and showed our country's prestige. It is also a great achievement! So Command me and General Gao to reward the soldiers!" Gao Yanshou said with a smile on his face.

"The last general, I would like to ask the two generals, where is our commander-in-chief?" a general asked.

"Oh, General Yuan, General Yuan is a great hero, the king is rewarding General Yuan in the palace." Gao Huizhen laughed.

After hearing this, the generals were relieved a lot. Since the king sent someone to reward the soldiers of the three armies, it is normal to reward the general in the palace.

"The last general is waiting to thank Wang En!"

"All the generals are very courteous. The two of us came here on the order of the king. Firstly, we came to reward the soldiers of the three armies, and secondly, we brought the king's will!" Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen dismounted together and took out the royal order.

Presumably it was the will of the award, the generals were a little excited, and they all bowed deeply and bowed down.

"The last general waits to welcome the imperial decree!"

Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen unfolded the imperial decree together, and then recited the decree in cadence.

At first, the generals were quite happy when they heard it, because the king praised the soldiers who went out in the will, but they were dumbfounded after hearing it.

Because the king actually appointed Gao Yanshou as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and Gao Huizhen as the deputy commander-in-chief of the three armies.

No, the commander in chief should be Yuan Gai Suwen!

After the decree was finished, there was silence everywhere, and all the generals looked at each other in blank dismay.

Gao Yanshou put away the decree, looked at the crowd and said indifferently: "What? Why didn't you accept the decree?"

"Two generals, the commander-in-chief of the army is General Yuan. How could he suddenly change commanders? I'm afraid this is inappropriate?" A general boldly asked.

Gao Yanshou smiled and said: "It is common for the army to change commanders. General Yuan worked hard to conquer Silla. The king couldn't bear the fatigue of General Yuan again, so he specially asked me and General Gao to take over the three armies together. General Gao read it well. Both military and civilized, this commander knows the Tang army very well, that's why the king appointed the two of us."

"Two generals, our commander-in-chief is leading the army to attack Silla. He has great prestige in the hearts of the soldiers. All the soldiers of the three armies respect him. He is about to fight to the death with the commander-in-chief and the Tang army. If we change the commander rashly now, we are afraid that the morale of the army will not be stable. Please invite the two The general will report the truth to the king!" A general boldly said.

"You all respect Yuan Gai Suwen, don't you respect the king? Is this the king's army or Yuan Gai Suwen's army, do you want to resist the order?" Gao Huizhen shouted.

Against the decree?All the generals couldn't help but change their faces when they heard this, and hurriedly said: "How dare the last general resist the order? It's just that the last general has been under General Yuan's command and cooperated tacitly. At this critical time, it is really inappropriate to change the commander. Therefore, the last general The general wants to persuade the king, this is also the loyalty of the last general and others!"
