Zhu Dadian did not believe Liu Zeqing's words, and there are many doubts about what Liu Zeqing said: For example, the Guanning army and the rebels invested in cavalry, and Liu Zeqing also participated in the battle, so how did the Qiongzhou battalion, as an infantryman, stab a knife in the back? Could it be that the lead of their bird guns still has eyes, and they know who to hit and who not to hit?

However, he did not jump to conclusions, neither followed the words of Liu Zeqing and Gao Qiqian to build a coffin for the Qiongzhou battalion, nor did he expose Liu Zeqing's words to face that they were not true. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Liu Zeqing saw that Zhu Dadian didn't speak, but Gao Qiqian was obviously on his side, and he felt a little confident in his heart. Thanks to the Qiongzhou battalion, the only more than 1,000 cavalry that he could fight under his command was lost, although there were still nearly 1,000 infantry left in the battalion, but they were all old, weak, sick and disabled, and could not be put on the stage, and now they are useless generals who have little use value. If he can't stand on the moral high ground and bite the Qiongzhou battalion fiercely, then his behavior of being greedy for merit on the battlefield and blocking the Guanning army will become the finger of thousands of people, and it is very likely that he will be abandoned or even punished by Shangguan. The only hope is that Futai and the prison army believe in themselves, and Guan Ningjun stands by and watches himself push the Qiongzhou battalion into the fire pit, so that he can have a chance to make a comeback.

As for whether Guan Ningjun will care about his behavior on the battlefield, Liu Zeqing is not sure. However, after all, the soldiers and horses of Shandong are the head snakes, and the commander of this counterinsurgency is also the governor of Shandong. When it's a big deal, I will give some blood and give half of the silver looted during the counterinsurgency to Zu Dabi and them.

After thinking about it, Liu Zeqing felt that he still had a good chance of winning, so he packed up his mood and waited for the Qiongzhou battalion to return to the camp to "confront".

It didn't take long for bursts of laughter to come from outside the big tent, from far to near, Zu Dabi and other Liaodong generals entered the tent with Xia Nan, both sides had smiles on their faces, and they seemed to be in a very good mood.

Liu Zeqing had a "groan" in his heart, what is the situation? Shouldn't these two be well water and not river water, how can they be like old friends who have known each other for many years, talking and laughing?

Zu Dabi took the lead in reporting the good news to Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian: "Qiyu Futai, supervising the army, fighting in a suitable battle, killing the enemy chief Li Jiucheng, annihilating thousands of his troops, and our department has won a complete victory!" ”

"What?" Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian stood up together. This news is too shocking, Li Jiucheng is also a leader of the rebels, killing him and annihilating his elite subordinates is a glorious achievement.

Gao Qiqian hurriedly asked: "Is it true?" Is it an exaggeration? Where is the first level now? Although he is not the commander, but the army has a share of the credit, when the time comes to return to the capital to report to the emperor, and you can put gold on your face, consolidate the reputation of "knowing soldiers", and continue to improve your position in the heart of the emperor. Therefore, he is more concerned about the authenticity of this result than others.

Zu Dabi replied: "The battlefield is being cleaned by the men and horses of Wu Anbang, the general soldier of Dengzhou, and the head of the rebel army cannot be brought back immediately for the time being, but Li Jiucheng's head has been brought, if Gonggong Gao wants to check it, he will be sent in immediately." ”

"There's no need to rush this, the inspection can be carried out later, General Zu's words Benfu naturally believes it." Zhu Dadian opened his mouth and said, "How this battle was fought, how the rebels were annihilated, and how General Liu's soldiers and horses were folded on the battlefield, please also ask General Zu and General Xia to talk about it carefully." "The counterinsurgency war has been fought for two years, and Li Jiucheng, Kong Youde and other leaders of the rebel army have long been painted by officers and soldiers. However, Zhu Dadian believes that Zu Dabi will not lie about such an easily verifiable matter, and most of what he said is the truth. Although I was very happy in my heart, I still had to figure out the ins and outs of the matter before celebrating the victory.

When Zu Dabi heard this, he glanced at Liu Zeqing with disdain, snorted in his nostrils, and said disdainfully: "Liu Zeqing's guy, when our department was about to defeat the vanguard of the rebels and was about to storm the rebels' main formation, suddenly rushed up, called snatching military merits, in fact, it was to cover the rebels, win a chance for Li Jiucheng to breathe, and almost bury this great victory. ”

Everyone in the tent was in an uproar, this was completely different from what Liu Zeqing said, a "victim" became an "undercover agent" in a blink of an eye, and his identity changed 180 degrees.

Liu Zeqing's eyes were dark, but he didn't expect Guan Ningjun not only not to stand idly by, but to stab himself, this is to push himself to death! He shuddered and said, "One ...... It's nonsense, Liu is loyal to the court, how can he ...... How can it collude with the rebels? ”

Zhu Dadian was silent, as if thinking about the authenticity of what Zu Dabi said. Gao Qiqian couldn't hold his breath and took the initiative to ask Wu Sangui: "Wu'er, can this matter be true?" ”

Xia Nan heard Gao Qiqian call Wu Sangui like this, and vaguely remembered that Wu Sangui seemed to have recognized a big eunuch as his father-in-law in history, could it be this Gao Qiqian? He couldn't help but glance at Wu Xiang, only to see that Wu Xiang had a lovely smile on his face, and he didn't look angry at all, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this father's heart is really big, watching a eunuch take a bite of "Wu'er" to his own son, and he was indifferent.

Wu Sangui replied: "Back to my father-in-law, what General Zu said is true. After Liu Zeqing blocked our troops from attacking the rebels, he was afraid that our troops would see through their true colors, so he turned his head and led the rebels to attack the array of the Qiongzhou battalion, intending to break the Qiongzhou battalion in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, Liu Zeqing was too light on the enemy, and he mentioned the iron plate with one kick, and was defeated by the Qiongzhou battalion's bird guns and artillery. However, its evil intentions have been clearly exposed, if it is not for collusion with the rebels, how can it prevent our troops from coming first, attacking the Qiongzhou battalion later, everything is a matter of 'relatives and enemies are happy'? ”

Gao Qi stared at Liu Zeqing suspiciously, and groaned. Compared with Liu Zeqing, he naturally unconditionally believes in his righteous son and Guan Ningjun. If, according to what Wu Sangui said, no matter whether Liu Zeqing really colluded with the rebels or not, what he did on the battlefield could be dealt with in accordance with military law, and it would not be an exaggeration to cut off his head.

Wu Sangui continued: "It was the Qiongzhou battalion that dragged Liu Zeqing's troops and Li Jiucheng's troops that our troops could successfully form a flanking attack, so that the two thieves had no way to escape. In the end, Liu Zeqing escaped by chance, Li Jiucheng was killed by the bird, and the cavalry under his command was completely wiped out by our department, and no one escaped the net. ”
