Ning Chen Ling Xiao

"What's wrong?!" Chu Yifeng sat up suddenly, grabbed the robe beside the couch and put it on his body, and said loudly, "Come in! Tell me clearly!"

Ling Xiao helped Chu Yifeng put on his robes, and he casually put on a large black robe. The soldiers outside the tent hurried in and said in a panic, "Report to the general. The general's personal soldiers came to report just now. The general was assassinated. When I found out, it was already... out of breath."

Chu Yifeng's face turned pale, and Ling Xiao grabbed Chu Yifeng's hand, and said softly, "I'll follow the emperor's grandson to take a look. The big general's tent is at the deepest part of the barracks. It doesn't make sense for the traitors to take advantage of the loophole so easily."

"Yes, you come with me." Chu Yifeng collected himself and took Ling Xiao to the big tent together.

Han Xinzhong's big tent had already surrounded a group of soldiers, seeing Chu Yifeng and Ling Xiao coming, he quickly stopped the noise and bowed to salute.

Han Xinzhong's body was still on the couch, covered with a white cloth, Chu Yifeng walked over and lifted the white cloth, and covered it carefully.Turning around and shouting: "Who was in the big tent when the accident happened? Who served outside the tent?! Bring them all here."

There was a moment of silence in the tent, and Ling Xiao said coldly: "Deaf? Didn't you hear the emperor's grandson?"

Han Xinzhong's soldiers looked at each other in embarrassment, but Wu Ji took a step forward and said: "At the third watch, the general... sent someone to bring wine, and recruited a few women, so it's not convenient for the last general to wait here, and then... we I don't know, those women just cried and said nothing, they didn't see anything, after...they slept in the tent for a while, and when they went back at night, they found out that the general had been assassinated, and shouted...that's it gone."

The more Chu Yifeng listened, the more anxious he became. The rules of the old emperor when he was fighting the world were that there was no reward in the army, no drinking, let alone ordering women to accompany him, because he was afraid of making mistakes. This General Han made two big mistakes at once, and he didn't understand why. Lost his life, how to report to the court? !

Chu Yifeng couldn't help but look back at Ling Xiao when he was in a hurry, only then did Ling Xiao realize that all the soldiers in the tent were looking at him. No matter how high his status is in the army, he is only a fourth rank enlisting in the army. It all depends on what he does?

Ling Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, the crown prince even sent a group of idiots over here, and they were all panicked when they encountered something, so could it be possible that he had to take charge of the overall situation?Although he really wanted to.

Ling Xiao adjusted his mood, and said in a deep voice: "General Han was attacked by the rebels in the dark. Although the general is not strict with himself, but now that the rebels are suppressing the situation, the news of this matter may even ruin the morale of our army. .”

Ling Xiao had a look of regret on his face, "Let's say something more selfish, when I leave my homeland and come to this desolate place, who would have expected that I would not have this day, and if I would end up like this after death..."

Ling Xiao's voice slowed down, and all the officers and men felt sorry for each other. When it came to the point, the rabbit died and the fox was sad. If Chu Yifeng reported the truth to the court with great fanfare, the entire Han family would be implicated.

Ling Xiao bowed and said to Chu Yifeng: "I dare you, my grandson, please don't tell the whole army, just say that the general was assassinated in his own tent. As for the truth, the grandson will use a secret letter to report to the court. It's up to the emperor and the prince." What do you mean? Please also ask the emperor to be kind and say a few words for the general.

"If this can stabilize the morale of the army, it may be more arousing

With the fighting spirit of all the sergeants, they will be able to fight with all their strength in the next battle to avenge the general. "Ling Xiao analyzed in detail, "The second is... also to appease the general's spirit in heaven, no one can do anything wrong without being a sage." "

The third is that this will allow Chu Yifeng to take over the power in the army, and the fourth is... that he can successfully subdue Han Xinzhong's old relatives.Of course, the latter two are inconvenient to say.

As soon as this statement came out, all the officers and soldiers respected him. Who can predict what mistakes he will make and how he will die in the battlefield?If such an arrangement can be made after death, the parents, wives and children in the imperial city can also be rewarded, and it can be regarded as being able to rest in peace.

Seeing that the soldiers agreed, Chu Yifeng naturally followed Ling Xiao's order, nodded and said, "That's it." Ling Xiao nodded, his phoenix eyes turned slightly, and from the corner of his eye he glanced at Han Xinzhong's lieutenant Wu Wu who was standing beside him. halberd.

Wu Ji paused, immediately understood, took a step forward and knelt down to Chu Yifeng, weeping loudly: "The general has gone, from now on, I will ask the second emperor to be the master of the military affairs, and please the second emperor not to refuse!"

Chu Yifeng froze immediately, Ling Xiao said earnestly: "The emperor's grandson has the highest military position in the army now, please ask the emperor's grandson to act as the general temporarily, and wait for the arrangement of the court."

Chu Yifeng saw that Ling Xiao had said everything, so he nodded, "Okay, all the soldiers are asked to recover from their injuries and join me in fighting against Zhang Ji's rebels."

"Swear to follow the second grandson!"

Looking at the soldiers kneeling on the ground, Ling Xiao raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

After breakfast, Ling Xiao returned to the tent, approached slowly, and hugged Chu Yifeng who was in a daze from behind.

"What are you thinking about?" Ling Xiao was in a good mood after solving the important matter, and lowered his head to lightly rub Chu Yifeng's side face, "Still thinking about the general?"

"No." Chu Yifeng said in a low voice, "I'm thinking about the strategy for the next battle, and thinking about what my uncle taught me before."

Ling Xiao chuckled: "Uncle's battle strategy can't be wrong, and the military affairs below are all up to you." Without that idiot general, his little general can be considered to be able to perform well.

Chu Yifeng turned his head to the side, a little hesitant: "I'm a little scared... Now that these things are in my hands, I'm worried..."

It turned out that I wanted to be coquettish, Ling Xiao smiled, and hugged Chu Yifeng more tenderly: "Don't worry, someone as cold-hearted as uncle often praises your military talent. Although I don't understand it, I know it must be right." Even if something happens, I will take care of it for you, so what are you afraid of.

It was the first time for Chu Yifeng to take over such a great power. He was not afraid of being punished if he made a mistake, but he just didn't want to disappoint the soldiers attached to him.

Chu Yifeng knew what Chu Yifeng was thinking, and Ling Xiao patiently comforted him for a while, but then he couldn't help but press him down on the couch and became intimate. It was when the soldiers outside the tent called Chu Yifeng to make an inspection that Chu Yifeng blushed.

The secret letter to the imperial city was written by Ling Xiao, with earnest words, carefully explained what happened in the big tent that night, and said the painstaking efforts to suppress the matter for the time being, and finally begged the court to send a policeman immediately in the tone of Chu Yifeng. A qualified and prestigious general will replace Chu Yifeng.

Putting away the pen, Ling Xiao waited quietly for the handwriting to dry, sneering in his heart, let's see who dares to come, deliberately set up a disgusting trick, indulge in alcohol and prostitutes in the army, no matter how angry the prince is, he will not take this at this time If the matter is publicized, they will feel that Chu Yifeng has handled it well, but they can't explain it clearly to the court. The ministers in the court only know that Han Xinzhong died for no reason. Who would dare to take his place?Looking for death?

Ling Xiao gently dried the secret letter, carefully sealed it in a bamboo tube, and handed it to Qin Long behind him: "Go and hand it to Feng Xingjun."

"Master..." Qin Long couldn't bear it anymore, knelt down and said, "General Han is also a soldier with meritorious service, how can you just..."

"What's wrong with me?" Ling Xiao's smile condensed on the corner of his mouth, "Qin Long, why didn't you say anything?"

On the night when he arrived in the army, Ling Xiao thought up a plan and asked him to send Han Xinzhong a dozen jars of good wine. It is well known that Han Xinzhong is addicted to alcohol. Personally, I couldn't help it. Qin Long took advantage of this time last night and sent more than a dozen brothers to change into rebel uniforms and kill Han Xinzhong. Being assassinated in the depths of the barracks was a strange thing, but it was related to alcoholism and prostitution. Ling Xiao showed mercy again and said that he would not pursue it, and of course Han Xinzhong's soldiers would not pursue it. This time it became even more confused, and Ling Xiao's people were completely picked out.

After that, Ling Xiao pretended to be in the big tent, and convincingly gave Chu Yifeng the power in the army. Even if Qin Long thought he was very smart, he had to praise him. Ling Xiao's game was absolutely perfect. But...it was too ruthless.

Ling Xiao knew what Qin Long was thinking at a glance, and asked lightly: "Let me ask you, as a general, compared with a soldier, what is more important?"

"Of course the general is important." Qin Long said without thinking.

Elm lumps!Ling Xiao sighed in his heart, and continued to ask: "Then let me ask you again, is a general more important than an army soldier?"

"This..." Qin Long bowed and said, "A soldier in an army is important."

"Yes." Ling Xiao got up, supported Qin Long with one hand, and slowly said: "Our army and Zhang Ji's rebel army were defeated in the first battle. Do you know how many people died?"

Qin Long was silent for a while, and replied: "A total of 5000 people died."

"Wrong." Ling Xiao looked into Qin Long's eyes, "A total of 120 people died."

Qin Long's heart trembled, and Ling Xiao continued: "It's because of Han Xinzhong, a faint general, that five thousand and one hundred and twenty three people in our army died!"

"Just because of his stupidity, his indecisiveness, and his prudence to protect himself, I killed more than [-] people."

"I never like to kill people! But if I don't kill him, I will fight again and die more than 5000 people? Look at the soldiers outside the account, which one has no parents, wives and children?! Why let countless unknown soldiers die for him alone? Unexplained death?!" Ling Xiao said coldly, "You yourself know that a general is more important than an army soldier, why can't you understand my painstaking efforts?!"

Qin Long's heart suddenly became clear, and he knelt down on one knee: "It's me who is stupid! I can't understand the master's painstaking efforts."

"Forget it, you don't follow me blindly, and I am very satisfied if you have the courage to advise me when things happen." Ling Xiao helped Qin Long up, and said slowly, "I value the people my uncle gave me, so don't let me down."

"Yes!" Qin Long got up to deliver the secret letter. Since then, the twenty soldiers sent by Wei Zhengfu have completely convinced Ling Xiao.

It was also on this day that Ling Xiao truly controlled the power of the northern army.
