Linyang City is the first line of defense against foreign enemies, easy to defend but difficult to attack.

In the past, when foreign enemies attacked, General Yu Honghui always defeated them when he led his troops to fight.

Not to mention capturing Linyang City, they didn't even dare to get within twenty miles of Linyang City.

Who would have thought that just by changing a general, something terrible would happen to Linyang City.

The emperor was furious when he heard the secret report from the messenger the day before yesterday. The general was beheaded on the spot by the enemy general. The morale of our army plummeted, and Lieutenant General Xu had to lead the remaining soldiers to retreat to the second dangerous pass, Tailin City.

The general led 150,000 troops to the battle, but Linyang City was lost and the battle was lost. Although Deputy General Xu did not have the ability to turn the tide, he managed to preserve the main force, and now has 120,000 troops left.

The emperor asked with a serious face,

"My dear ministers, the war at the border is urgent. Who do you think should be sent to take over the position of general and take back Linyang City for me and the people!"

A minister was puzzled and said,

“Your Majesty, General Shen has been leading troops in battle for more than ten years. He, along with General Yu and General Su, are known as the three great generals of our dynasty.

How come he ended up with his head and body separated in the first battle? Was there a trick?"

The emperor's face was tense, the corners of his eyes were dark, and the area under his eyes was red. It was obvious that he had not rested well in the past few days. He rubbed his sore brows and said bitterly,

“According to the report from the soldiers, the enemy generals seemed to have a clear understanding of our tactics and troop distribution. General Shen fell into their trap and ended up like this.

Lieutenant General Xu captured several suspects and controlled them. After torturing them, he confessed that another Lieutenant General Li had betrayed our dynasty and conspired with foreign enemies, which led to General Shen's defeat.

I have ordered Lieutenant General Li to be escorted back to the capital to await his fate. The entire Li family has also been thrown into prison by me."

Civil and military officials were in an uproar, and Lieutenant General Li's former colleagues looked at each other in disbelief.

One of them was a brother who had fought with Lieutenant General Li for many years. Ming Yang, due to his physical injury, did not participate in this battle. He immediately knelt down and said,

“Your Majesty, Lieutenant General Li is loyal to the emperor and his country. He always rushes to the front to kill the enemy. He will never betray your majesty and the court.

There must be something hidden behind this matter. I beg Your Majesty to give Lieutenant General Li a chance and investigate this matter thoroughly."

The civil official was unwilling to do so. Lieutenant General Li's guilt was set in stone. How could they let off such a treacherous general just because of your words?

"Your Majesty, I think Lieutenant General Li should be killed to prove General Shen's spirit in heaven."

The emperor had a headache, and when Old Madam Shen heard about this, she fainted. However, Old Madam Shen knew her limits and knelt towards the direction of the palace every day. Of course, the emperor had to give her an explanation.

However, the most important thing now is to send a general to the border to suppress the chaotic army.

Yu Honghui had been released by him, but Yu Honghui was affected physically and mentally because of this incident, especially the betrayal by people close to him and the distrust of his wise leader. Yu Honghui even resigned from him when he was released.

In this situation, even if Yu Honghui went to the battlefield, the emperor would not dare to expect him to lead the troops well and fight well.

The emperor set his eyes on Su Huajing, but his attention was drawn away by a voice in his heart.

The emperor finally smiled, hoping that Zhao Zhao could help him choose the most suitable general.

[What? Lieutenant General Li didn't betray us. He was framed? ]

Shen Zhao's face was filled with surprise. Shouldn't such an important matter of military espionage be investigated very carefully?

How could they arrest the wrong person?

If the real spy had not been caught, would the second general who went there really not repeat the same mistake?

Shen Zhao noticed that the emperor turned his attention to her uncle. Did he want Su Huajing to go to war?

[Guagua, tell me who the general who betrayed the military secrets is? ]
