Chapter 260 Seeking Power

After Wang Tong killed three Xianbei soldiers again, he was finally stabbed by another Xianbei soldier, and then the surging Xianbei prisoners of war completely submerged Wang Tong.

After a while, feeling that Wang Tong was almost dead, Liu Meng waved his hand in disgust.

Hundreds of ready-to-go wolf cavalry immediately charged and killed dozens of Xianbei prisoners of war.

The Xianbei prisoners of war who had no armor and only dozens of simple weapons could not be the opponents of the elite wolf cavalry, but in a short while, dozens of Xianbei prisoners of war were slaughtered.

Pulling out Wang Tong's bloody corpse from the pile of corpses, Liu Meng led his army back to the city.

When he got close to the army camp, Liu Meng immediately put on a sad expression and went straight to the big tent of Shangji.

"My lord! Yulu Zhonglang General Wang Tong Wang Fujun personally led the troops out of the camp to investigate the enemy's situation, and encountered a surprise attack by the enemy. The last general was incompetent and failed to protect the safety of the Fujun, resulting in the death of the Fujun. Please punish the Lord!"

As soon as he entered the big tent of the merchant, Liu Mengpu knelt down on the ground with a loud cry, crying.

Shang Ji, who had been waiting anxiously for a long time, immediately felt a jump in his heart when he heard this. After waiting for a while, he didn't hear the system prompt, and he let out a sigh of relief.

"What's the specific situation? Tell me quickly!"

Suppressing the joy in his heart, but with a look of grief on the surface, he asked loudly.

Liu Meng quickly said the excuse he had prepared.

In general, it was Wang Tong who did not listen to the advice, and went out of the camp privately to lead people to investigate the enemy's situation, but accidentally fell into the enemy's trap and died in a fierce battle.

Liu Meng's rescue was late and he failed to protect Wang Tong comprehensively, but he wiped out the raiding Xianbei army and snatched Wang Tong's body back.

"Immediately call all the generals above Sima and above from the other divisions of the army, and immediately come to the main tent of the Chinese army to discuss matters!" Shang Ji stood up and said.

Soon, following Shang Ji's order, people came one after another, and there were fifty or sixty people in the big tent.

"Everyone, here I want to announce a sad news!"

Shang Ji looked around and said sadly.

Everyone immediately focused their attention on Shang Ji, curious about what happened. Some of Shang Ji's direct lineage generals had vaguely guessed the specific content, and they were all excited.

"General Yulu Zhonglang, Grand Administrator of Liaodong, and General Wang Tong, the prince, accidentally fell into an ambush by the Xianbei army when he personally led the army to investigate the enemy's situation today, and died accidentally!"

"Buzz..."

As soon as Shang Ji finished speaking, flowers exploded in the big tent.

Although the Xianbei army is coming fiercely in this battle, the battle is not fierce. At present, let alone Wang Tong, a high-ranking official at the county guard level, there is not even a lieutenant-level casualty!

For non-Shangji generals who don't know the inside story of the matter, this news is a bit too explosive!

In addition, what is more curious is why the county guard of Wang Tongwang, who has been bedridden in poor health, suddenly went to lead his troops to investigate the enemy's situation?

"quiet!"

Seeing the chaos in the tent, Shang Ji raised his eyebrows and shouted angrily!

The prestige developed by coordinating the whole army on behalf of Wang Tong all the time came into play, and everyone immediately fell silent.

"Liu Meng, come and report the situation to everyone in detail!" Shang Ji shouted at Liu Meng.

"Yes, General!" Liu Meng immediately recounted the previous speech to everyone, and then fell to his knees with a thud, and said in a painful voice: "General, the general is incompetent, causing the prince to suffer, and the general is willing to be punished! "

Shang Ji hesitated for a moment, glanced at the people in the big tent, and said loudly: "Lieutenant Liu Meng was negligent and caused Wang Tong's death. This should be done in military law. I hope you can get back the prince's body and wipe out the murderer who killed the prince. , I will spare you a way out!"

"Capital crimes can be avoided, and living crimes are inevitable. Immediately remove your post as captain. I hope you can fight the enemy bravely and atone for your crime!"

"Thank you, General, for not killing!" Liu Meng immediately thanked him.

After the two performed, the people in the big tent gradually digested the news.

"The order will be passed on, and the whole army will be killed from now on, but there will be no Xianbei prisoners of war left, as a sacrifice to the heroic spirits of the kings and princes in the sky!"

"I will obey the order!" Everyone quickly stood up and replied.

Shang Ji needs to determine Wang Tong's death as soon as possible,

Make an iron case so that no one will discover any clues in the future. There is nothing more effective than to inform the whole army of Wang Tong's death with great fanfare.

A lie told a thousand times becomes the truth.

When the whole army believed that Wang Tong died at the hands of Xianbei people, even if Wang Tong came back to life and said that he was killed by Shang Ji, no one would believe him.

"Everyone, the prince died unexpectedly, but the army cannot be without generals for a day. I believe that we need to elect a new commander as soon as possible to lead us to slaughter Xianbei and avenge the prince!"

Guo Biao spoke up.

"General Guo's words are justified!"

"Yes, yes, at this critical juncture, someone needs to lead us down!"

"Extremely extreme!"

As soon as Guo Biao's voice fell, he immediately echoed repeatedly.

"General Shang is extremely wise and brave, and even has a record of annihilating millions of Xianbei. I recommend General Shang to temporarily command the army!"

When everyone heard the words, they immediately turned their eyes to the speaker.

This person was stared at by dozens of people, he was startled and stammered: "What...how? Don't you think what I said is wrong?"

This man, Shang Ji, also knew him, and he led his army to join him when he passed by Lingzhi City, Youbeiping County.

He is not Shang Ji's confidant, that is to say, this person is not a trustee of Shang Ji's arrangement!

When asked by the general, there was a moment of silence in the big tent, who dares to say that it is wrong?

"Ji has little talent and little knowledge, so I dare not take on this important task, so please ask for someone else!" According to the usual practice, Shang Ji needs to shirk twice to show his humility.

"None of the generals can take on this important task, I will only obey the generals!"

Su Huan got up and clasped his fists and said loudly.

"I'm only waiting for the general!" Several other direct generals from Heishuisai said loudly.

They are the real trustees, but they were accidentally robbed of their jobs.

"Also ask the general to take on the important task bravely and lead us to destroy Xianbei and protect our country!"

Under the leadership of Su Huan and others, more and more military generals fell to their knees and pleaded in unison, most of them were generals who were not directly descended from the Shang Dynasty.

In fact, for the military generals present, whether Shang Ji is temporarily acting as commander has no effect.

Anyway, Shang Ji had always been giving orders with Wang Tong's orders before. Whether it was marching or fighting or rewards and punishments, Shang Ji had the final say. Many times, people have regarded Shang Ji as the supreme commander.

Under Shang Ji's deliberate manipulation, everyone almost forgot that there was such a royal general as Wang Tong.

Now that Wang Tong was "dead in battle" and Shang Ji took over, there was nothing wrong with it. Most of the generals accepted this result very naturally, and some even secretly rejoiced in their hearts. Shang Ji's recent performance is vivid to everyone's eyes, and he is much better than Wang Tong who doesn't know the specific situation. The soldiers naturally hope that there will be a powerful general to lead the battle, not Wang Tong who "recovers" in the carriage all day long!
