Ashina Danai shouted: "Your Majesty, the little one really doesn't know what's going on, maybe someone stole my arrows." Speaking of this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Your Majesty, when General Sima stopped me from shooting arrows, he once snatched my bow and quiver and threw them to the ground. ”

Yang Guang said in a deep voice: "Didn't you see who picked it up?" ”

Ashina Danai shook his head: "At that time, the scene was chaotic, and the small one focused on arguing with General Sima, and didn't pay attention to other things, and then General Yuwen Chengdu came to mediate and asked us to continue archery, so the small one began to concentrate on shooting arrows at the head of the city, and didn't care about the matter of the arrow, please Your Majesty to find out." ”

Shen Guang also said: "Your Majesty, it may be that General Ashina is to blame for his humble position, since he sent arrows to help me, there is no reason to harm me with archery, presumably someone else did it." ”

Yang Guang's eyes blinked, at this time, it was really difficult for him to make a decision, and there was no way to investigate, how should it end, which made him difficult for a while, and after muttering for a while, he suddenly looked at a very special face in the crowd: "Tang Guogong, how do you say this matter should be handled?" ”

A tall and thin man with wrinkles all over his eyebrows, looking like an old woman, stood out from the crowd, could it be Tang Guogong Li Yuan, Yang Guang's eldest cousin?

Since the beginning of the war, Li Yuan has been supervising the affairs of military rations in Huaiyuan Town, and the grain and grass dispatch of millions of troops on the front line has been well organized for him, but a while ago Yu Shiji made a statement, saying that Li Yuan was in charge of military rations. It is equivalent to choking the throat of a million-strong army. If there is a heart of disobedience. As long as the grain road is stuck, the front-line army will definitely collapse without a fight, this reminded Yang Guang, and he did have a deep wariness of this cousin who was expected by the Guanlong family, so he asked Li Yuan to personally escort a large amount of military rations to the front line, just in time for this battle to attack Liaodong City.

Li Yuan stood up from the crowd unhurriedly and saluted Yang Guang: "Your Majesty, the minister is foolish." This is the end of the matter, and there is no need to delve into it. Thinking that this arrow was someone who inadvertently picked up the bow and arrow of the captain of Ashina's guard, and the arrow was also to help our army attack the city, and he missed for a while, and the Shen guard who was shot at it, all this was just an accident, in the chaos of the army, thousands of troops and horses, and arrows rained down. How can there be no risk. Captain Ashina Guard has superb archery skills, and he will not make a mistake. However, the other sergeants who picked up the arrows were not necessarily, so the minister thought that this matter would end here, and it would be enough to prepare for the next round of siege. ”

Yang Guang thought for a while, looked at Li Yuan, only to see him shake his head gently, the light in his eyes flickered, as if he had something to say and stopped, Yang Guang understood, and said in a deep voice: "Let me think about this matter again, all Aiqing, you all step back first, Tang Guogong came from afar, I haven't had time to receive it yet, just take this opportunity, you accompany me to have a meal, I still have something to ask you." By the way, Captain Ashina Danai Wei is still temporarily detained, and he will be dealt with when the matter is clear, but he must be treated well, and he is not allowed to add torture tools"

Everyone could see that Yang Guang still had to ask Li Yuan alone, and Li Yuan proposed such a muddy solution, which must have another hidden reason, so everyone saluted and retreated, only Yang Guang smiled and took Li Yuan's hand, and walked all the way back to his temporary palace in the city.

After the guest and host sat down, there were already two sumptuous meals brought by the waiter, pigs, cows, fish and sheep, and the wine was also imperial wine, but Yang Guang didn't have the heart to really eat, he looked directly at Li Yuan and asked, "Tang Guogong, what is the real reason why you stopped me from continuing to investigate this matter?" There are no outsiders here, but please speak up. ”

Li Yuan sighed, he also knew very well that he was deeply afraid of Yang Guang, and only by pretending to be loyal and upright and speaking bluntly could he dispel Yang Guang's suspicions and keep himself safe.

Li Yuan opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, the matter is very clear, it is that some of the front-line soldiers are jealous of Shen Guards, or they have a grudge against Ashina Danai, this arrow, impartially, directly hit Shen Guards, and it is the Turkic bow and arrow, which is a typical example of planting dirt and killing two birds with one stone." ”

Yang Guang nodded: "You want to be exactly the same as me, but why don't you continue to track it down?" There is such a scum in the army who assassinates his comrades, shouldn't he be investigated to the end, and the canonical punishment will be clear? ”

Li Yuan shook his head: "Your Majesty, the law is nothing more than human feelings, and the military law is set to fight a good war, and if you don't investigate it at this time, it is to keep the morale of the army from collapsing, and it is also to fight a good war." According to Weichen's observation, His Majesty asked Shen Guards to take the lead, for the soldiers on the front line, it was tantamount to robbing them of their merits, originally they were attacking the city with all their strength these days, and they were killed and wounded everywhere, and they all had a lot of strength, but at this time, the Xiaoguo Army took the lead, and those soldiers must be unconvinced. ”

"So some people take this opportunity to shoot black arrows behind Shen Guards, just don't want Shen Guards and Xiaoguo Army to rob them of their credit, today's siege is in vain, he will fight again in the future, or these soldiers of various armies will have to work hard, if this matter is investigated to the end and the generals are killed, then the front-line soldiers who have complaints will definitely collapse in morale, and they will not be able to work hard in the war."

A trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Yang Guang's eyes: "They dare!" I can correct them all! ”

Li Yuan smiled slightly: "Your Majesty Tianwei, no one dares to attack him, but the sergeant who is forced to go to the battlefield is tantamount to a herd of cattle and sheep. ”

Yang Guang hooked the corners of his mouth and said: "But this person will shoot Shen Guang today, and tomorrow he may be a black hand behind my back, this person, I still want to find out, if I can't find out, then secretly send someone to investigate, how about it?" ”

Li Yuan shook his head: "That person has already made careful arrangements, stealing Ashina Danai's arrow to shoot, it is impossible to leave traces, the reason why Weichen did not let me investigate again, a very important reason is that it is impossible to find out the real culprit, if it is a secret investigation, you have to secretly send someone to interrogate the soldiers who contacted Ashina Danai at that time, the affairs in the army cannot be hidden, one pass ten, ten spread hundreds, but it will make everyone endanger themselves, lose the military heart of the front-line soldiers, and the gains outweigh the losses." ”

Yang Guang sighed and slammed his fist on the case, splashing the wine in front of him: "Then this time you can only cheapen this thief!" Tang Guogong, today you also saw the entire siege process, in your opinion, the next siege, what are the odds? (To be continued.) )
