Chapter 254
After General Li and his soldiers returned to the city, the soldiers guarding the city gate immediately closed the city gate.

Standing in front of the gate tower, the general asked the soldiers who left the station today to disperse and return to their posts.

He went to the city gate and told the soldiers on duty, asking them to pay close attention to the movements of the Xirong people outside the city, and strictly check those who entered and exited the city gate.

He also said to the young general Wang Liang, the leader of the city gate defense: "All the people in the city are on the roster, and anyone who is not on the roster is not allowed to enter the city."

Wang Liang immediately replied: "Yes, general, don't worry, I promise not to let a suspicious person in."

The officers and soldiers on duty also promised loudly that they would guard the city gate like an iron barrel and not give the Xirong people any chance.

General Li bid farewell to the soldiers with satisfaction, went down the gate tower, and walked to the military meeting hall.

Along the way, soldiers and people in the city greeted the general, and he responded kindly and courteously, and even chatted with them a little bit, about family matters.

When approaching the chamber, Yang Mingliang caught up with the general from behind.He stood still and took out a letter from his pocket, and presented it to the general with both hands: "Report, Madam's secret letter, just delivered."

General Li took the letter, put it in his arms, and said to him: "Okay, I will read it later. I thought of some problems just now, so, you go and call all the officers above the general and deputy to the meeting hall immediately. I have something to do." To announce."

Yang Mingliang immediately agreed, and went to call the meeting.

General Li strode into the meeting hall, and just sat down on the seat, the little leopard rushed in.

"General, my subordinate happened to meet Mingliang just now. He said that you had to summon your subordinates for something important, so he rushed to report immediately."

The general nodded and let the little leopard sit down.

The little leopard thanked the general, took the lower seat and sat down, cupped his fists and asked the general what was the matter.

The general didn't answer directly, but asked another question: "How do you feel about fighting the Xirong people today?"

"General, it's not that the subordinates are not humble, it's just that the people of Xirong are too bad to fight. The subordinates don't think it's fun to fight." Xiao Baozi laughed cheerfully after finishing speaking.

"In today's battle, Zijin, you performed well and defeated Suo Li. Suo Li is also considered to be the number one general in Xirong. If you lose your arrogance like this, the confidence of the Xirong people will definitely be severely damaged." The general said to the little leopard. Make sure.

The little leopard quickly stood up and bowed to the general: "Thank you for your encouragement, general. I don't dare to be greedy for credit. This is because my subordinates followed the general and were taught and helped by the general to achieve today's achievements."

He spoke very sincerely, with respect for the general in his eyes.

The general waved his hand: "Zijin, this is mainly due to your own efforts."

"General, from the day you rescued your subordinates from the battlefield, your subordinates vowed to practice their skills and never let you down to the general; Wei Guo, be unequivocal." Zhou Zijin spoke his mind forcefully and forcefully.

The general listened to the whole process with a smile, and was very pleased. He got up and patted the little leopard on the shoulder and said, "Good job!"

At this time, another young general came in, saluted the general and the little leopard with a smile on his face, he went to watch the battle today, and was very proud of Vice General Zhou's defeat by Suo Li.

After standing still at this moment, he couldn't hide his excitement and cupped his fists to congratulate him.

"Congratulations, General, Congratulations to Deputy General Zhou, today we have defeated the prestige of the Xirong people, congratulations! My subordinates estimate that the Xirong people will stop for a while from now on."

Several generals who came in one after another echoed his statement, saying congratulations one after another, and everyone was quite happy.

Seeing that it was almost time for people to arrive, the general invited everyone to sit down.

As soon as everyone was seated, Yang Mingliang and three other generals also arrived, and they quickly found seats and sat down.

Looking around at the following generals, the general said: "The purpose of calling everyone together is to talk about the Xirong people. I don't know if you have noticed that the behavior of the Xirong people has been abnormal recently."

A general under the seat stood up and said, "General, the general finds that the Xirong people are rather weird. They provoke and fail again and again. They know that they are invincible, but they come to fight with poles. The general is very puzzled. There is no benefit for them to do this, why do they still do it? I really don’t understand.”

"Jiangcheng is right. The people of Xirong have never been so stupid before, and the subordinates also feel the same way." Another general stood up, this person was Yan Feng, the military envoy.

The general stood up from his seat and said solemnly: "Very well, everyone has discovered that the Xirong people are abnormal. I have a feeling that the Xirong people seem to be planning some kind of conspiracy. Virtue, will never be stupid enough to do the useless things they have repeatedly done during this time."

Deputy Commander Wang Ze took the general's words and said: "The general is right, we have to be careful, everyone needs to be very energetic, and don't be tricked by the people of Xirong."

All the generals responded loudly, expressing that they would act with caution.

The general nodded again, and said: "Not only must we be careful, but we must also take the initiative to investigate the real purpose of the Xirong people."

As soon as the words fell, Yan Feng clasped his fists in response and said, "General, this subordinate is willing to take orders to finish this matter well."

Another general also expressed his desire to take on this task.

"Leave this matter to Yan Feng, and you will assist from the side." The general ordered the two of them to be generals and assigned tasks.

The rest of the generals expressed that they would unconditionally support the two, and everyone wanted to find out what the hell the Xirong people were up to.

The people in the meeting hall were full of enthusiasm and fighting spirit.Everyone is discussing and guessing the various possibilities of the Xirong people doing this, as well as where to start to investigate, how to investigate, and so on.

The general thought of the few spies who broke into the Xirong people. They were all wise and brave men. For their safety, only he and the deputy commander knew their true identities.

After discussing with Wang Ze later, I will also assign this task and let them inquire inside, maybe they can find out the truth faster.

Wang Ze probably thought of this as well, and turned to look at the general, meeting the general's gaze, and the two nodded tacitly.

When everyone was discussing about the same, the general began to discuss with the generals about the defense of the border town, soldier drills, and the purchase of food and grass. Everyone brainstormed and proposed a solution. implement.

A discussion was efficient and effective, and all the generals took orders, and they all stated that they would do things seriously and responsibly.

The general waved his hand and said to the generals: "Thank you, everyone! Today we won the battle, and everyone has it. Let the kitchen have more food for dinner, and everyone has a tooth festival."

The generals laughed and thanked the general on behalf of the soldiers.

In the evening, the soldiers ate meat and soup in big bowls, and ate very happily.

After dinner, the general went back to his residence, Yang Mingliang followed him and went back together.

"General, you spent money again today." Yang Mingliang said.

"Hey, that's nothing, as long as the soldiers eat happily. Mingliang, you must not say anything about this." The general turned his head and told him.

Yang Mingliang's tone was a little heavy: "However, General, you have paid for it several times recently. If this continues, there is no way out. What happened to the court recently should be resolved by the court,"

The general interrupted him and said: "The imperial court also has difficulties for the imperial court. As long as I still have this ability, I should stop making things difficult for the imperial court."
