Chapter 911: A City
When the long-awaited event was finally in front of him, the prefect had a sense of unreality and magic, and everything in front of him seemed to be a dream. The hand holding the teacup trembled unconsciously: "The news is true?"
The steward who came to report recalled the look of the person who came to report the news, and nodded vigorously: "That little soldier looked flustered, not like he was lying."
In this way, the last big stone in the prefect's heart also fell to the ground.
He stood up and said righteously: "I don't know if General Lin is poisoned and I don't know whether he is alive or dead, Lord Ben should go over and take a look, you go to prepare the car, and you, isn't there a doctor surnamed Li in the west of the city with superb medical skills, just like Hua Tuo in the next life?" Go and bring the doctor as well, and Lord Ben will take the doctor with him. β
"Subordinates obey!"
The little maid who was ordered to ask for a doctor was about to raise his feet and walk out, when he suddenly heard a voice behind him, and when he turned his head to look, he found that it was the prefect's cronies who had been silent all along.
He frowned tightly, and his expression was a little solemn: "My lord, my subordinates think it's better not to go this time."
They finally bought off the people around General Lin, and spent a lot of money to buy the poison, and now it is finally time to accept the results, but the cronies jumped out and said that it was better not to go, how could the prefect bear it?
"Master Ben can go wherever he wants, and I don't need you to dictate you!"
With that, he walked out the door with a quick pace.
Watching the familiar back go farther and farther, the cronies sighed and shook their heads: "Maybe this is fate...... I tried my best, but the adults refused to listen to the persuasion, so no one can do it, right? For today's plan, it is important to save your own life first!
At the same time, on the other side, the prefect was about to take the carriage prepared by the steward to the barracks, when suddenly, there was another sound not far away.
Everyone turned their eyes to look, only to see two young soldiers in armor riding horses, both of them with anxious emotions on their faces, obviously something big happened!
The prefect didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly asked, "You came in such a hurry, isn't there something wrong with the barracks?"
The two young soldiers nodded again and again, it turned out that there was an adjutant general in the barracks who had always had a lot of opinions on General Lin, and the general was in good health on weekdays, so he didn't toss much, but now that the general was poisoned and unconscious, this one couldn't help but jump out and be a demon, a good military camp was turned upside down by him and brought people upside down, and now it is all in chaos, no one can hold them down, and now only the prefect can be suppressed in the past.
The prefect was overjoyed, no one spoke in such a mess, and it seemed that the army led by General Lin was not as powerful as the legend said! Maybe he only needs to exert his strength to firmly control this army on his phone! Thinking of this, he became more and more excited.
The prefect coughed lightly, pretending to be worried and anxious: "This official will go over!"
The carriage set off from the mansion and rushed all the way to the barracks through the East City Gate, during this time, the prefect was thinking about how to subdue General Lin's subordinates, and he didn't realize that there was something wrong with the eyes of others looking at him, and he didn't know that what was waiting for him in front of him was not General Lin who was poisoned and unconscious at all, but a trap that had been dug up, and he himself was the prey of the trap little by little!
General Lin's military camp was on a flat land not far from Yongcheng, and the prefect could see the unusual military camp from a long distance.
Generally, there are patrols around the barracks from time to time in order to explore the situation, but this barracks does not, not only that, the special forces do not even have sentinels, they are close, and the prefect can still hear the sound of quarrels.
The joy in my heart is becoming more and more obvious!
It took a lot of effort for the prefect to barely control his emotions, his gaze swept into the barracks, and then landed in the tent not far away: "Quickly bring this official over, this official has to see General Lin with his own eyes to understand the situation!" It's too late to delay! β
"Please come with me, sir."
As the two of them walked away one after the other, the crowd whispered: "This is the prefect that the general said, right?"
"It doesn't look very shrewd."
The prefect passed by the crowd and heard their discussions, but because of the excitement and the fact that the other party deliberately lowered his voice, he couldn't hear what they were talking about, and could only vaguely hear the whispering voice, so he didn't take it seriously.
He eagerly followed behind the person who led the way, and asked about the situation with a worried face: "Has the military doctor ever shown the general, what kind of poison is in the general, and is there a way to detoxify?" And when will the general wake up? β
If you talk too much, it is easy to be exposed, and the young soldier is afraid that he will say the wrong thing, so he simply says that he is only responsible for passing the word, and he is just a subordinate at the bottom, and he doesn't know the situation on General Lin's side at all.
Huh, that seems a little wrong?
The prefect's intuition told him that something was wrong, but what was wrong, he couldn't say for a while, so he could only follow the other party with a full stomach full of doubts. Soon, they came to a camp tent, which was located in the middle of the barracks, and the soldiers who were guarding it outside were different from the other camps, so it must be General Lin's residence!
The prefect pressed the excitement in his heart and rushed into the camp tent, and before he could see the surrounding layout clearly, a net split his head and face fell, and he was stunned, and he was trapped tightly before he even had time to struggle.
"What are you doing here!" The prefect who reacted was furious and scolded loudly, "I'm an official of the imperial court!" β
"Hehe, if you weren't an official of the imperial court, would you still be here now?"
This voice sounds familiar and unfamiliar, who is it if it is not General Lin's voice? The prefect was in a big heart, and when he looked around, he found that there were many people crowded into this small camp, almost everyone was wearing armor and swords at their waists, and everyone looked at the prefect with a meaningful gaze. And at the center of the crowd is the one who sits on the throne.
"General Lin?! You, you're not poisoned at all! β
General Lin raised his eyebrows and didn't speak, but Vice General Feng next to him looked dissatisfied, and said with a sneer: "Haven't you heard that sentence?" Soldiers are not tired of deceit, as long as they can attract you, they can do anything. β
"I, I'm an official of the imperial court, and the people in the house have seen it with their own eyes when I go out, and if I lose the news on the way to the barracks, what do you think they will think? This matter will definitely be presented to His Highness, and a closer look will reveal that you are doing demons! Hurry up and let me go........"
An adjutant general glanced at the prefect: "We dare to do something to you, and we will be afraid of the prince who is far away in the sky?" β
The prefect was like five thunderbolts, and the whole person was stunned in place and trembled, he could see it! These people had the audacity to design him and trap him, because they wanted to rebel!
The prefect, who realized the other party's thoughts, wanted to save his life, and immediately changed his words: "General Lin, please bypass the life of the lower official!" As long as you leave the official life, from now on, no matter whether you are a cow or a horse, you will have no regrets! Yongcheng has been under the rule of Xia Guan for many years, and no one is more familiar with the grass and trees here than me, and my willingness to be loyal to General Lin means that the entire Yongcheng will fall into the hands of the general........"
General Lin's expression did not change.
The prefect thought that these conditions he said were not attractive enough, so he continued to say: "In addition to Yongcheng, other nearby cities can also be included in the general's pocket!" The county guard of Yuzhou in the east is a close confidant of the lower official, and the lower official has a way to persuade him to submit to the general, as well as the city of Pingning in the south, and ........"
General Lin waved his hand impatiently: "What you said is indeed very tempting. β
The prefect's eyes lit up, and before he had time to celebrate that he had seen a glimmer of life, he heard General Lin say yes.
"Corrupt officials and corrupt officials, how can they fix the hearts of the people if they don't cut them?"
"General, Generalβ"
The prefect still wanted to beg for mercy, but before he finished speaking, a figure flashed next to him, and in an instant, his head had been cut off by the burly lieutenant, and since then the body has been separated, and he looked at the other half of his headless corpse without a blind eye, and lost his breath.
A relatively shrewd lieutenant general was puzzled by this: "General, isn't it worth letting him live than killing him?" β
Since you want to rebel, you must expand the army, with Broken Leaf City alone, and there is a Yongcheng that has not yet been taken, there is no way to return to attack the capital, this prefect has been a parent in Yongcheng for a long time, and the surrounding situation must be very clear, as he said just now, maybe there is really a way to rebel against other city lords......... The slash that General Lin signaled, I don't know how much trouble it caused them!
General Lin glanced at the corpse of the prefect who was slowly dragged away by the soldiers, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips: "The words spoken by this person are not worthy of trust. β
As he spoke, the handyman had already cleaned up the corpses on the ground, and the corpses were dragged away, but the head was still in the tent, and it was placed on the ground covered with blood, and its eyes widened without blinking, and this appearance was matched with a look of horror and anger, and it looked a little hideous, and if there was a woman here, it would definitely be frightened. But the men in the barracks are all bold, almost everyone has been on the battlefield, and they have more or less a few lives on their hands, so when they see the heads that have not been disposed of, they all have the same face.
Now that the person has been killed, it is useless to dwell on the things in front of them, and everyone invariably moves on to the next topic.
What's next?
"The last general thinks that this is the best time to attack Yongcheng.1" One lieutenant general proposed, "The people brought by this corrupt official have been dealt with, and no one has returned to report the news, and Yongcheng is unsuspecting at this time, and it is a surprise to send troops to attack!" The last time I entered the city, I took a closer look, and the soldiers in the city were all yellow-skinned and thin, and at a glance I knew that they were straw bales, and they would definitely not be able to stop our offensive! β
"General, in addition to directly sending troops to attack, his subordinates have another plan!"
