General Liang stood aside, discussing with Gu Xingyan where to deploy the main force.

The two of them discussed how to deploy the 300,000 troops in order to have a chance of winning, and what to do when the other three generals arrived.

Liang Tianyou and Cui Jingyu also stood aside and listened to General Liang's analysis.

Liang Tianyou listened very carefully, and his admiration for his grandfather reached its peak.

As soon as Ma Jingwei came in, he saluted: "I pay my respects to the Marshal and General Liang."

Gu Xingyan did not raise his head, his eyes still fixed on the sand table: "General Ma, please do not bow."

Gu Xingyan knew this General Ma very well. In his previous life, he became his deputy general and helped him conquer Zhao, Xia, and Northern Qi. Unfortunately, he died on the battlefield of Northern Jin.

Ma Jingwei looked at General Liang in surprise. No one introduced who he was and the Marshal didn't even raise his head. How did he know his name?

Oh, by the way, someone must have informed him in advance that he would be the first person to come in. He just saw Wu Peikun go out.

When I looked up again, I saw the extremely detailed map and shouted in my heart: Great!

General Liang pointed to the sand table and said, "General Ma, come here quickly. The Marshal and I are discussing the possible next actions of the Ava army."

Wu Peikun came in, took a look and asked, "General Ma, where are General Tian and General He? Didn't you three come here together?"

Ma Jingwei paused and said, "It should be here soon."

Gu Xingyan seemed not to hear this. When he saw the last wisp of smoke from the incense stick fade away, he stood up and walked to the map: "Let's start."

Ma Jingwei glanced outside the tent and saw Liu and Tian still walking slowly, talking and laughing, and he didn't dare to say a word.

Gu Xingyan gave a look, and Liang Tianyou immediately walked over and pulled down the curtain of the general's tent with a snap.

Liu and Tian just walked out of the tent and watched helplessly as a thick door curtain separated them from the outside. Tian Daokuan even felt frustrated.

Upon seeing this, Tian Daokuan yanked open the door curtain and shouted, "The Marshal is so powerful. What's going on? Are you trying to show off your power to me? Even in the midst of a great war, the Marshal still doesn't forget to show off his power!"

Tian Daokuan still had his big sword on his back. According to the rules, he had to take off his sword before entering the general's tent, but at this moment he pushed away the guard who was holding out his hand for the sword and rushed in directly.

Liu Wenrong smiled softly: "General Tian, ​​please say less."

"Why, is it that Gu Xingyan is the one who can act so arrogantly and I, the general, am not allowed to speak?"

"Someone come here!" Gu Xingyan ordered, "Throw these two out for me!"

He Si and Niu Dan had been extremely impressed with Gu Xingyan over the past half month, and upon hearing the order, they immediately came to arrest Tian Daokuan.

Tian Daokuan was a big and muscular man, a head taller than He Si, not to mention Niu Dan. He glanced at him coldly.

"I'll see who dares to do that! I'm the deputy general of the Zhenzhou Army, Gu Xingyan, listen carefully. If you throw me out today, you won't have the 80,000 troops of Zhenzhou anymore!"

Gu Xingyan slowly turned his gaze from the map, and his calm eyes met Tian Daokuan's eyes.

Tian Daokuan's heart skipped a beat and he took two steps back unconsciously. How could this person come from a mountain village?

How could one have such momentum if he had not been immersed in a sea of ​​blood and corpses?

Liu Wenrong's legs suddenly felt weak. He was thin and took a step back silently, but was blocked by Tian Daokuan's physique and could not be seen at all.

General Liang shouted, "Tian Daokuan, you are so bold! Who is the father of His Highness the Ninth Prince? How dare you call yourself the father in front of His Highness the Ninth Prince? You are so presumptuous!"

Tian Daokuan knew that he had said this impulsively, but it was impossible to take it back since it had already been said, so he forced himself to say, "Oh, General Liang, I will not argue with you because of your age, but he..."

Tian Daokuan pointed at Gu Xingyan and said, "He is just a wild boy who was brought back from a mountain village in another country. Who can prove that he is the ninth prince? Don't let a wolf into the house!"

"How dare you!" When General Liang heard this, he was so angry that his beard was about to fly up.

"You two disobeyed military orders and came late. The Ninth Prince, considering the imminent battle, has shown mercy and only threw you out. But you actually dared to speak wildly and commit treason. You are simply lawless!"

Liang Tianyou said angrily: "Grandfather, stop talking nonsense with him. Brother Nine asked us to throw them out, so let's throw them out. He Si, Niu Dan, get out of the way, let me do it."

Gu Xingyan said coldly: "Martial law. He Si, since General Tian and General Liu are not familiar with our Daliang military law, you go and tell him."

He Si straightened his back and said, "Yes! Article 3 of Daliang Military Law states that anyone who disobeys military orders shall be executed!"

"Article 22 of Daliang Military Law: Anyone who disrespects the commander-in-chief, commits a crime against his superior, or speaks wildly shall be executed!"

"Article 58 of Daliang Military Law: Anyone who intentionally delays time will be executed!"

"General, you are guilty of multiple crimes and should be executed immediately!"

"Drag him out and behead him!" Gu Xingyan gave the order immediately.

Ma Jingwei hesitated for a moment and advised: "Marshal, the war is imminent, why not let the two generals atone for their sins?"

It is a taboo to kill a general before a battle. If things go wrong, the 160,000 men will not obey orders, and the general cannot kill them all.

"Drag him out and behead him!" Gu Xingyan did not give in at all.

How could Tian Daokuan not know the military law of Daliang? What they did today was worthy of the three beheadings.

His face turned pale and his voice trembled: "Gu, Gu Xingyan, I am the deputy general of the Zhenzhou Army. You, you can't kill me."

Liu Wenrong knelt down with a plop: "Ninth, Ninth Prince, no, Marshal, I know I was wrong. I didn't mean to delay time. It's all his fault!"

Liu Wenrong pointed at Tian Daokuan with gnashing teeth, "It was Tian Daokuan who deliberately held me back and didn't let me come over right away. He also said that the public is not to blame for the law. Before the war, you will never use military law against the two of us. Marshal, every word I said is true. I beg you to spare my life."

Tian Daokuan was furious when he heard this: "Liu Wenrong, you are talking nonsense. It was you who dragged me to talk nonsense and deliberately delayed time. Now you are turning the tables on me!"

Seeing his frantic look, Liu Wenrong was so scared that he shrank back: "Tian Daokuan, are you saying that we don't know whether the Marshal is the descendant of the Gu family or not? What about the Ninth Prince or not?"

Seeing that Gu Xingyan's face looked extremely ugly, Liu Wenrong swallowed hard.

"You, you also said that Ou Jianglin just randomly brought someone here to fool the emperor and the empress dowager. You even said that His Majesty couldn't wait to let his brother die. You are not a good person either. Tian Daokuan, did you say that?"

Seeing Ma Jingwei standing aside, he seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw: "By the way, General Ma, you were also there at the time. Can you be fair? Was it Tian Daokuan who said this?"
