After being reborn with Sister Zha, I was stunned!

"General, we just received an urgent report that a small group of Xituo soldiers are harassing several villages and towns in Guyangguan..."

Hearing Mu Xiaodao's report, Mu Beiyan couldn't help but frown: "Do you know how many people there are and who is the leader?"

Xiaodao shook his head: "I don't know yet. But——"

“But what?” Mu Beiyan keenly sensed something was wrong.

Xiaodao hesitated: "When General Huang heard that civilians were killed, he was furious and cursed the Xituo Army as inhuman. He immediately led 3,000 soldiers to clear out the enemy..."

"What? General Huang actually led the troops there personally? And he only brought 3,000 soldiers?" Mu Beiyan sat up suddenly and asked anxiously, "Where are Xu Chong and Li Jun now?"

"Xu Chong followed General Huang in cursing the Western Expedition Army, and then followed General Huang to go. Li Jun is still in the camp."

Mu Beiyan immediately became anxious: "General Huang is so impatient - I'm afraid I'll be fooled if I go there!"

After hearing what Mu Beiyan said, Mu Xiaodao also became anxious: "General, what should we do now?"

"Well, have Deputy General Cheng and Fang Yu'an lead another 10,000 troops to support us, and tell them that I gave the order after I woke up and learned about the situation—"

"Yes." Mu Xiaodao hurried out of the tent.

Shen Qingyin was puzzled: "How can you be sure that General Huang will be fooled?"

Mu Beiyan's eyes were bright. "In the past two months, although the soldiers of Xituo occasionally harassed the people in the border towns, they never killed anyone. The killing today was most likely just to lure the enemy. General Huang has been stationed in the Western Frontier for many years and knows the difficulties of the people in the border towns. He may be able to tolerate other things, but he can't bear to see the people being harmed. Not only do I know this, but the Xituo Army also knows it well."

"I guess when they saw me injured on the battlefield yesterday, they guessed that I would hand over the military affairs to General Huang, so they did this and wanted to take General Huang down as well—"

"These Xituo soldiers are so abominable that they actually use ordinary people as bait!" Shen Qingyin couldn't help but curse.

Although she did not know how to march and fight, when two countries were at war, civilians should not be harmed, which was something that any country should follow.

Mu Beiyan nodded slightly, paused and said, "In fact, the border between Xituo Kingdom and Beixin Dynasty has been stable for many years, and there shouldn't be this war. It's just that the king of Xituo Kingdom has been ill for the past two months and is unable to handle state affairs, which led to the split of two forces within the country. The ones who are now attacking our border are the warmongers headed by Crown Prince Xiao Chunran."

"So that's how it is." Shen Qingyin understood.

Mu Beiyan's guess was not wrong at all. When Deputy General Cheng and Fang Yu'an arrived at Guyang Pass, General Huang had been lured to a depression ten miles in front of the pass by hundreds of Xituo soldiers, and was surrounded by the 10,000-man army of Xituo.

Deputy General Cheng and Fang Yu'an attacked from the outside in time and rescued him. After that, they attacked from both inside and outside and annihilated 2,000 Xituo soldiers. Seeing that the situation was not good, the Xituo soldiers fled in panic.

Despite this, General Huang was still hit by an arrow in his left arm.

Xu Chong, who had been filled with righteous indignation and had been cursing the Western Expansion Army in front of General Huang, was not hurt because he was helping injured civilians bandage their wounds and did not follow General Huang out of the pass.

After returning to the military camp, General Huang went to Mu Beiyan's tent and knelt down to admit his mistake.

"It's all Huang Cheng's fault. Huang Cheng was ashamed of the general's trust and made a rash decision, which led to him being fooled by the enemy. If the general hadn't sent someone to rescue him in time, Huang Cheng would have died today. Huang Cheng is at fault, please punish him!"

Xu Chong also came in and admitted his mistake.

"I was wrong. I should have advised General Huang, but I was outraged and followed him..."

He admitted his mistake, but his eyes were looking around the tent.

Obviously admitting the mistake was false, but entering the account to find out the truth was true.

What a coincidence! Just when Huang Cheng was about to die, the general woke up and sent people to rescue Huang Cheng in time. How could he not be suspicious?

Mu Beiyan opened his eyes with great difficulty.

He first glanced at Xu Chong, who was standing next to Huang Cheng and looking him up and down, and then said:

"I am worried and confused. I think you two are wholeheartedly caring about the people at the border. If I punish you, then..."

Mu Beiyan's voice was weak, and he stopped halfway through his speech as if he was out of energy.

The military doctor came forward in time and gave him an injection.

After a lot of trouble, Mu Beiyan continued, "No need to punish you, but from now on, I hope you two will learn from your mistakes and never let others take advantage of your weaknesses, and never act rashly."

Huang Cheng replied with red eyes: "Yes, General, I will remember this and will not act rashly in the future."

His voice was loud and clear, and one could hear the determination in it.

He felt really guilty for getting the general involved and worrying about him in such a situation.

Xu Chong also agreed, but he was very perfunctory, and he was afraid that he didn't hear clearly what Mu Beiyan said.

His mind was only on observing Mu Beiyan and the situation in the tent, trying to find out something.

After Mu Beiyan finished speaking, he closed his eyes again.

The military doctor said to the two men, "The general is tired and needs to rest. You can go out first."

The two men left the tent in response. Xu Chong asked Huang Cheng tentatively, "General Huang, do you think the general woke up at the wrong time?"

Huang Cheng, who was walking in front, turned around and snorted coldly: "What are you trying to say now, you are so sarcastic?"

Xu Chong choked and his face turned red.

"vulgar......"

Huang Cheng glared: "I am a vulgar man, so it's okay to be vulgar. Unlike you, you speak human language, but who knows what you are thinking!"

He was impulsive today, but Xu Chong's words also played a role in this.

He was so impatient that he did not realize Xu Chong's ulterior motives.

It doesn't mean that he hasn't woken up yet.

Especially the general's words just now, "Never let anyone exploit your weaknesses," reminded him even more.

Thinking about it carefully, it would be more accurate to say that it was because of Xu Chong rather than because he fell into the enemy's trap today.

Xu Chong was the guy who added fuel to my anger, causing me to chase him outside the pass even though I knew I shouldn't...

Xu Chong himself was just fine. He talked about bandaging the people but never stepped out of the customs!

He couldn't figure out Xu Chong's intentions for a while. Did he want to make military achievements but didn't want to contribute? Or did he want to kill him and take over the military affairs?

No matter what the reason is, at least this person has bad character, and he must be careful of him in the future.

The conversation between the two outside the tent was quickly reported to Mu Beiyan by the guards.

Mu Beiyan naturally understood that Xu Chong was becoming suspicious again.

"I guess, next time, he will test me again..." Mu Beiyan frowned, thinking about countermeasures.

Shen Qingyin had different ideas.

The idea was a bit bold, so she considered it again and again before speaking.
