Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 108
When Tong Tianhua heard the sound of the long sword being unsheathed, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but curled up, and he also pulled out the long sword from his waist, turned around and said:

"Brothers, follow me..."

Tong Tianhua turned his head to look, his words froze for a moment, and the smug smile on his face before also disappeared immediately!
Because at this moment, Tong Tianhua realized that among the generals in the tent, without exception, the direction the saber was pointing was actually himself.Even, including those of his own people who had previously agreed to support him.

In an instant, Tong Tianhua's heart went cold!

With a quick mind, he immediately understood.

I have become an outcast!

Xiao Cheng looked at Tong Tianhua who was showing panic, sneered, and said:
"If you don't obey the imperial order and deceive the generals to plot rebellion, if you follow the military law, how should you deal with it?"

Wang Xiao, who had been silent all this time, heard the words, with an indifferent expression, and replied:

"Bewitching the minds of the army and intending to rebel, according to the military law, the punishment of beheading should be punished, and it will be reported to the army. The family members in Beijing, who are directly related to the direct line, will be killed without any omission! The clan branches will be exiled to the wild land in the south. Not within the amnesty!"

Xiao Cheng snorted coldly, nodded and said:
"In this case, it will be dealt with according to military law!"

Tong Tianhua's right hand holding the sword trembled slightly, then he glanced at the coveted generals around him, took a deep breath, threw the long sword decisively, knelt down on the ground, and said simply:

"Your Majesty, the final general knows his crimes, but at this moment he has come to his senses and is willing to turn to the light...Your Majesty may not know that there are still treacherous people in the army at this time, and the general is willing to point out the crimes to His Majesty!"

Seeing this, Xiao Cheng's mouth twitched, marveling at Tong Tianhua's decisiveness when he surrendered.

Even if you hesitated for a moment, I wasn't so shocked!

Xiao Cheng opened his mouth, but found that he had forgotten what he had said, so he had to think again, and said:
"If you confess everything, I can forgive you at my discretion!"

Tong Tianhua knew very well at this time that he had no other choice, so he immediately cupped his hands and said:

"Your Majesty, General Wuwei in the army..."

Before the words were finished, a figure suddenly jumped out from among the generals, and with a sharp throw of the long sword in his hand, he shot straight at Tong Tianhua with force and swiftness.

"Bold!"

"court death!"

All the generals in the tent saw someone suddenly attacking them, they were furious, shouted loudly, and attacked the figure that jumped out in unison.

All the generals were born in the battlefield, and the lowest level of cultivation is also a sixth-level master.Although each one of them is not using their own weapons, but their joint attack is still not to be underestimated.

All of a sudden, in the handsome tent, the sword light flickered, and the sword shadows were heavy, all covering the attacking figure.

There was only a muffled "plop", and a figure fell to the ground.

Everyone turned their heads to look at Tong Tianhua again, only to see him kneeling on the ground, his eyes wide open, and a long sword protruding from his chest, piercing through his vitals.Although there was still a faint breath at this time, he couldn't even speak.

Zhendong General Shi An stepped forward quickly, and turned the figure over to reveal his face. It was the General Wuwei mentioned by Tong Tianhua just now.

However, at this moment, General Wuwei had a big and deep bloodstain on his neck, which immediately took his life.

Judging from this wound, it can be seen that the person who shot was ruthless, and he was rushing to take his life.

Shi An suddenly raised his head, looked around at the generals around him, and said angrily:

"Who? Who did it!"

Many generals who were fighting for the lead just now and had the idea of ​​meritorious service quickly retreated and waved their hands hastily to show that they were not themselves.

Everyone understood that it must be someone hidden among the many generals who made such a ruthless move at this time, in order to kill people and silence them!
Shi An's face was pale, he hesitated for a moment, then knelt down in front of Xiao Cheng, and said with embarrassment:

"The last general's temperance in the army is unfavorable, causing some of the generals to secretly have different ideas, and please punish him!"

Xiao Cheng sat at the head, with a cold expression, scanning the generals who had just attacked.

A group of generals looked at Xiao Cheng's indifferent eyes, and their hearts suddenly turned cold. They all knelt down on the ground and argued eagerly, hoping to prove their innocence.

"Your Majesty, you are not the last general!"

"The last general hasn't met him just, just now!"

"The last general swears to the heavens, this is definitely not what the last general did!"

All of a sudden, in the handsome tent, all the generals swore to show their innocence.

In fact, the situation in the handsome account just now was so chaotic that it was impossible to tell who made the move.Even some of the generals who made the move just now were a little panicked, worried that they had killed General Wuwei by mistake for a while.

But even so, everyone dared not admit it, so they had to bite the bullet to prove their innocence.

Wang Xiao looked at almost all the generals of the frontier army, all showing panic at this moment, kneeling on the ground to plead for innocence, he couldn't help raising his brows, and looked at Xiao Cheng quietly.

Xiao Cheng had a sullen face, pondered for a moment, and finally said:

"Get up! This matter, I will treat it as someone who accidentally killed me by mistake, and I won't pursue it anymore!"

The generals were stunned when they heard the words, they couldn't tell whether Xiao Cheng's words were true or not.

Xiao Cheng raised his leg, walked in front of Tong Tianhua who was dead at this time, pulled out the long sword that shot him, held it in his hand, and said in a deep voice:

"In order to find out the person who shot in the dark, and cause the generals in the army to panic, isn't it just following the person's wishes? I don't believe it. Could it be that the generals in this good frontier army are all harboring ulterior motives and have nothing in their eyes? A man of righteousness in the family and country?"

Xiao Cheng's eyes sharpened, he glanced at the generals, and asked:
"Everyone, I just ask one question, may I believe you?"

When all the generals heard the words, they immediately shouted in unison:
"Your Majesty, please rest assured!"

Xiao Cheng nodded, raised the blood-stained long sword in his hand, and said in a deep voice:

"Since you all swear allegiance, I believe in you, and you must show it! After today, everything in the past will be like this sword, so there is no need to mention it!"

After saying that, Xiao Cheng shook his right hand holding the sword, and the internal energy in his body burst out, pouring on the long sword.The incomparably powerful force raged vertically and horizontally, and in an instant, the green steel long sword made in the army let out a mournful cry, broke inch by inch, turned into broken iron pieces, and fell to the ground.

Xiao Cheng looked around at the generals, and added:
"Since I gave others a chance, as long as the person who just attacked secretly will not collude with the people behind the scenes in the future, I will also forget the past!"

Seeing Xiao Cheng's resolute tone and resolute face, the many generals who were originally perfunctory were all moved. After a moment of silence, they bent down on the ground again and shouted in unison:

"Willing to fight in blood for His Majesty, I will never return!"

Xiao Cheng casually dropped the hilt of his sword just now, and said in a deep voice:
"Okay, since you have sworn allegiance to me, you will leave immediately, rectify the troops and horses, follow me to expel the enemy's country, and restore our country!"

"I would like to obey His Majesty's imperial edict!" All the generals responded in unison, their eyes burning and their words sonorous.

Wang Xiao and other generals left the tent one after another, looked at Xiao Cheng, suddenly chuckled and said:

"Your Majesty, good means!"

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng nodded to Wang Xiao, and said with a smile:
"It's still a way to deal with courtiers. Hold it high, let it go gently, and let it go. It's just a routine, just a different form!"

Wang Xiao shook his head and said:

"Your Majesty, please don't fool me, this is different! It is His Majesty who intimidates the officials in the court. But in this army, His Majesty uses the means of convincing others with might!"

The two sound similar, but one is a deterrent, so that all officials dare not disobey.One is to subdue the generals with mighty virtue, so that the generals and soldiers will be convinced.

Wang Xiao paused, then suddenly said:

"It's just that I don't understand why Your Majesty didn't take action just now? With your martial arts, is it possible that someone can kill someone under your nose? If you just want to show such a heart to subdue the generals, it's not worth the candle!"

Xiao Cheng heard the words, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, his face was sullen, his eyes were fixed on Wang Xiao, and he said quietly:
"Teacher, too smart, not good!"

The calm expression on Wang Xiao's face suddenly froze.

Seeing that Wang Xiao's expression was stiff, Xiao Cheng couldn't hold it back anymore, the corner of his mouth curled up, and he gave a wicked smile, waved his hands and said:
"Joke, it's just a joke! Grand Master, but you were bluffed by me?"

Wang Xiao's lips moved, and the corners of his mouth twitched, forcing out a smile.

Xiao Cheng patted the armrest above the handsome seat, and said casually:

"I originally thought that the old monk would attack me when I came to Yongzhou, so I only brought a thousand imperial troops with me. But I didn't want the old monk to be more cautious than I thought!"

"I also thought that this old monk would do something in this commanding tent, forcing the frontier soldiers to bear the crime of attacking and killing the emperor, so they had to be forced to rebel. But you can see that the old monk still didn't do anything!"

Having said this, Xiao Cheng's expression darkened, and he said:
"Buddhism, especially the old monk, has a very high prestige in Yunguo. It's not easy for me to kill him! But if we don't kill him, the old monk will definitely be a problem when we attack Buddhism in the future!"

Wang Xiao nodded suddenly when he heard the words, and said:

"So Your Majesty is worried that if you dig out all the secrets of the Buddhist sect in the general today, Huikai will not dare to do anything, so why do you intend to sit back and watch the two get killed?"

Xiao Cheng nodded, stretched his waist, and said with a light smile:

"The old monk is a tortoise. He has a cautious temperament. If he hurts him all at once, he might shrink back. It's always a trouble. If that's the case, I'll always leave him a few bargaining chips!"

Wang Xiao figured out that there seemed to be other meanings in Xiao Cheng's words, and asked again:
"According to what His Majesty said, it seems that you want to play a trick on the old monk?"

"The old monk knows that when I finish dealing with these matters at home and abroad, I will definitely free up my hands to deal with Buddhism. Therefore, he must not be able to resist me! So, give him a chance to do it!"

"Will Your Majesty tell me a thing or two?"

Xiao Cheng turned his head to look at the huge map hanging in the handsome tent behind him, pointed at Xia Guo, and said with a light smile:

"Since Xia Guo can come to our Yun Kingdom for a visit, then I can't lead my troops to Xia Guo for a visit? If the Xia army returns to defense, it will relieve the pressure on the generals in the north. If they don't return to defense, then I will Let him corrupt the southwestern hinterland of Xia Kingdom to avenge his unprovoked attack on our Yun Kingdom! Of course, the main reason is to see if he can lure the old monk out..."

Wang Xiao was taken aback for a moment, thinking that he had heard it wrong!

From ancient times to the present, how can a king of a country personally go deep into the enemy's country to harass the state and county?
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not right!" He couldn't help but said.

Xiao Cheng glanced at the golden finger panel in sight, saw that there were still more than 20 days of experience cards, shook his head slightly, and said:
"If it's not right, it's not right, Grand Master, don't tell the old Taiwei!"

Wang Xiao's expression was inexplicable, but he felt that it was extremely absurd.

But after thinking about it, he shook his head again.

Today's His Majesty, who is an extraordinary person, can make a single-handed charge, and then lead the troops to the enemy's country for a while, so there is no need to be surprised.
-
The line of sight turned to the northern border of Yunguo again!
Cheng Bushi was sitting in the military tent, in front of him were a group of generals lined up on both sides.

"General, Xia's army circled back and attacked the [-] cavalrymen who harassed our supply team. The last general led the troops to cut off the rear, and now they have all been chased and killed!" A general handed over his hands and reported.

Cheng Buzhi nodded and said:
"Santai, Mou'an, and our army's tents are just in the shape of a triangle. Xia Jun wants to go around and kill our supply troops, but he can't escape our army's eyes. He is just seeking his own death!"

Some of the generals in the military tent couldn't help laughing and said:
"The last general has never fought such an easy battle since he joined the army."

"That's right, the general tried his best to set up camp here before, it's really wise!"

All the generals echoed for a while, all with extremely relaxed expressions.

During this period of time, Xia Jun continued to attack regardless of the cost.But apart from increasing casualties, there is no gain.On the other hand, the Yun army, relying on this strong tent, has suffered no more than a thousand casualties so far.

After a long time, Yun Jun's morale was naturally high, but Xia Jun was extremely afraid of fighting.

Cheng Bushi was not as optimistic as the generals, instead he frowned and said in a deep voice:
"It's just that I'm a little surprised. Before half a month ago, the Xia Army's battles were quite rigid. They only knew how to gnaw at our army's tents, which resulted in such heavy casualties. However, in the past few days, the Xia Army's tactics have obviously become much more flexible. We all know that They sent cavalry to harass them. It doesn't look like they were commanded by the same person at all!"

Hearing Cheng Bushi's concerns, a general stood up immediately, cupped his hands and said:
"General, the spies of our army have reported that Xia Jun's commander-in-chief has not changed his banner. It seems that he is the nineteenth prince of Xia, led by King Qi."

Cheng Buzhi heard the words, nodded, and asked again:

"Who knows about King Qi of the Xia Kingdom?"

All the generals shook their heads and said:

"Before this King Qi, I only heard that he had been serving in the border army in the northern border of Xia Kingdom. In the past few years when he was transferred to the southwest, he did not make any moves, so we are not clear about it!"

Cheng Buzhi felt a little uneasy when he heard the words, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he could only say:

"Decree Santai and Mou'an County need to take strict precautions and be careful!"

"Yes!"

"Report!"

Suddenly, a sound of haste and panic sounded outside the tent.

Cheng Bushi's heart skipped a beat, and he said hastily:

"Come in!"

The orderly was flustered, he rolled and crawled into the tent, knelt down on one knee, and said urgently:

"General, the battle report just came from Mou'an County. Last night Xia's commander, King Qi, led a surprise attack and returned in a big defeat. The general of Mou'an County made great contributions and led his troops to pursue and kill him. He was ambushed by Xia's army... Mou'an County is broken! "

All of a sudden, all the generals in the tent were silent, and they all looked at Cheng Buzhi.

Cheng Bushi closed his eyes remorsefully and let out a long sigh.

The battle has been going so smoothly for half a month, and the whole army has already felt underestimating the enemy and slacking off against the Xia army. That's why they fell for such a simple trick!

　In fact, I wrote [-] words today, but in order to update [-] words tomorrow, I saved a little...
