Su Lie's legs were paralyzed, almost carrying Huang Zhao on his back, and the sentries hurriedly stepped forward to help when they saw this. Huang Zhao panted and put down the general, and the soldiers carried him into the temporary camp.

I heard that General Su was injured and the barracks shook from top to bottom, how could people still care about having dinner? They all gathered in front of the general's tent to find out what was going on.

After Huang Zhao settled Su Lie and personally supervised the military doctor to give him good gold medicine, he came out to gather the officers and informed them of the tragedy that happened in the court today.

"What? This is too unreasonable! How can Your Majesty treat the ministers of the humerus like this?! ”

"That is, how is this kind of words and deeds different from the faint king? There are also those flattering villains, sitting in the position of high-ranking officials, it is estimated that they have already done all the bad things that harm the common people, right? ”

"No, I'm not convinced! I suggest that all the guards of the Great Wall jointly report to the imperial court, the deeds of General Chen Mingsu's heroic retreat from the enemy, and oppose the disbandment of the 30,000 army! ”

……

The crowd was so angry that the whole camp exploded. On the cowhide felt room, the figures cast by the candlelight swayed wildly, as if a fire was burning inside.

Among these generals, there were many people who shared Huang Zhao's ideas, and they also strongly demanded that the Great Wall Guards set up anti-flags on every Guancheng to overthrow the rule of the Duanjun.

Huang Zhao had already found out Su Lie's intentions, how could he allow such dangerous thoughts to grow and grow in the military camp at this time? Naturally, it was the threat and pacification that extinguished the momentum of the rebellion.

That night, the atmosphere of the whole barracks was extremely depressing and tragic, no matter where you went, you could not see the joy of the army after winning the battle, and the soldiers were like a weakened army that had suffered a defeat and dispersed.

Huang Zhao saw that the morale of the 3,000 people was so low, which not only affected the impression of the common people on the Great Wall Guards, but also made it difficult to explain to others after returning to the Great Wall camp, so he summoned the generals again and told the guards the grand plan of building trade routes in the future and developing the economy for the King Continent.

After learning the news, the mood of the soldiers improved slightly, and Su Lie's military advisor stood up again and said a clever plan.

The military advisor said: "Didn't Your Majesty order us to reduce the size of the army as soon as possible, and reduce the force of only 80,000 men to only 50,000? This is very easy to do, to build a trade road must recruit migrant workers, such a large expansion plan, only recruiting 30,000 migrant workers is not enough, why don't we use this as an excuse to retain strength, and one day when the war is rekindled, and we have to expand the troops and horses to go to the border, and then re-integrate the scattered personnel, what do you think of this plan? ”

"Ah, that's a clever plan! is still a powerful military advisor, in the face of change, he can come up with an excellent coping strategy in a moment, I admire it! ”

Huang Zhao took the lead in approval, and the other non-commissioned officers were also rejoicing, and finally did not lose hope for the future.

Su Lie recuperated in the camp on the outskirts of Chang'an City for two days, fearing that the days would change, and the ministers would come up with new tricks to deal with him, so they hurriedly pulled out the camp and returned to the base camp of the Great Wall.

Walking on the road, Huang Zhao and the military advisor told Su Lie about the strategy of turning soldiers into civilian laborers, although Su Lie did not agree with it, no matter how he looked at it, he felt like a bully, but there was no other way.

The Great Wall stretches for thousands of miles, and relying on only 80,000 guards is already tight in terms of troops, and if it is reduced by 30,000 at once, not only will the personnel who have been laid off not stop, but I am afraid that the remaining 50,000 people will also be unstable.

As the saying goes, there are policies and countermeasures, and if you can only do this, so be it.

Finally, he returned to the Great Wall safely, and there were no pursuers behind him. Su Lie brought back the 3,000 men and horses in their entirety, which was really a blessing in misfortune, the stick wound on his body was basically healed, and he regained his former heroism.

After arriving at the barracks, the officers unanimously decided to take out their pitiful salaries to reward the three armies, perhaps they had no money to buy big fish and meat, and the victory celebration banquet could only have sweet potatoes and potatoes, which could be regarded as adding a little joy to the dreary barracks.

However, the celebration banquet was much richer than pre-imagined, and some soldiers who had been hunters before spontaneously ran into the deep mountains and old forests to hunt, hunted a lot of game, and roasted it on a charcoal fire after removing the hair and skinning.

Especially the strong fragrance that wafted in the head of Jiayuguan City, and when the rice wine brewed a few years ago was moved out, the aroma of meat was mixed with the intoxicating aroma of wine.

From that day on, the scene up and down the Great Wall was once again in full swing, and 30,000 soldiers who had left the army were turned into road openers, and under the leadership of General Su, the plan to open up trade routes was carried out in an orderly manner, and within three years it was quite effective.

From Chedu to the border to make trouble, Su Lie took the lead in the main hall, took the Tiger Fu General Seal and led the Great Wall guards to retreat from the enemy, and suddenly one day, received the secret decree of the vermilion jade seal brought by the yin and yang Chen Gonggong, Su Lie has been away from his hometown of the Great Wall for ten years.

The hand that once held the pen was calloused, and he had a farewell drink with a high-spirited poet for ten years. He also dug up petal scale flowers from the desert and carefully cultivated them, and looking at the beautiful flowers blooming in the flower garden of the General's Mansion, he became more and more convinced that the Great Wall was the fetters and destination of his life.

However, the secret decree shattered his peaceful life like a thunderbolt, and he fell to the ground trembling, not knowing why fate was so unfair to him, and pushed him into a desperate situation several times and three times.

Many years ago, Huang Zhao's prophecy came true, and the faint monarch who was far away in Chang'an failed the Great Wall guards once, and sure enough, there was a second time. Now that the trade routes leading to the border countries have really developed in all directions, the King Continent has become more prosperous because of this, but what awaits him is not only not a reward, but also a new round of persecution......

Gonggong Chen's smooth face squeezed out a gloating ugly smile, touched the silver ticket received in his bulging sleeve and said: "General Su, my emperor Shengming, will not arbitrarily wronged any virtuous courtier. The culpability of your guilt listed in the secret decree, if you have it, you will accept it, and if you don't, you will be encouraged, so why don't you give an answer to the miscellaneous family, so that the miscellaneous family can return to Beijing to restore your life? Hehehe~"

Su Lie can be literate and martial, and he is an elegant person when he doesn't hold a knife or gun, but when he saw the cheap and disgusting old face of Gonggong Chen in civilian clothes, he couldn't help but want to take a knife and slash it a few times.

But he held back, just like when he was besieged by the ministers on the main hall and spurned by the emperor.

The crime in the secret decree is: As the supreme commander of the Great Wall Guards, he had the obligation to exterminate all the invading bandits, but Su Lie gave orders on behalf of heaven to negotiate peace with other countries at the border on his own initiative, and proposed that the two sides abandon their hostilities and coexist peacefully, resulting in no war west of the Great Wall for many years, so as to enrich his own pockets and divert the military salaries allocated by the imperial court for other purposes. It is a heinous crime, and it deserves to be punished!
