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 drowned Wang Tong.
After a while, feeling that Wang Tong was almost dead, Liu Meng waved his hand in disgust.
Hundreds of wolf cavalry, who were ready to attack, immediately launched a charge and slaughtered dozens of Xianbei prisoners of war.
With no armor and only a few dozen rudimentary weapons, the Xianbei prisoners of war could be the opponent of the elite wolf cavalry, but in a few moments, dozens of Xianbei prisoners of war were slaughtered.
Pulling out Wang Tong's bloody corpse from the pile of corpses, Liu Meng led the army back to the city.
When he approached the camp of the army, Liu Meng immediately changed his sad expression and went straight to the big tent of Shangji.
"My lord! Wang Tong led the troops out of the camp to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and encountered a surprise attack by the enemy, and the last general was incompetent and failed to ensure the safety of the king, resulting in the unfortunate death of the king, please punish the lord! ”
As soon as he entered the big tent of Shangji, Liu Meng fell to his knees with a loud voice, crying with tears in his eyes.
Shang Jiwen, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately jumped in his heart, waited for a while, and did not hear the system prompt, and suddenly sighed.
"What's going on? Come on! ”
Holding back the joy in his heart, he asked loudly with a sad face on the surface.
Liu Meng hurriedly said the prepared excuse.
In general, Wang Tong did not listen to the advice and went out of the camp to reconnoiter the enemy situation without permission, but accidentally fell into the trap of the enemy army and died in battle.
Liu Meng was late in the rescue and failed to protect Wang Tongzhou, but he completely annihilated the Xianbei army that attacked and retrieved Wang Tong's body.
"Immediately convene the generals of the whole army at or above the level of Sima, and immediately come to the big tent of the Chinese army to discuss the matter!" Shang Ji stood up and said.
Soon, with the issuance of the merchant order, everyone arrived, and fifty or sixty people were crowded into the big tent.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to announce a sad news!"
Shang Ji looked around and said sadly.
Everyone immediately focused their attention on Shang Ji, curious about what was going on, and some of Shang Ji's descendants had already vaguely guessed the specific content, and their hearts were all excited.
"General Zhonglang of the Imperial Captive, Liaodong Taishou, and General Wang, when he personally led the army to reconnoiter the enemy, he accidentally fell into an ambush of the Xianbei army and died unexpectedly!"
"Buzz"
As soon as Shang Ji's voice fell, flowers suddenly exploded in the big tent.
Although the Xianbei army is menacing in this battle, the battle situation is not fierce, not to mention Wang Tong, a high-ranking official at the county guard level, not even the dead at the level of school captain!
For non-commercial generals who don't know the inside story of the matter, this news is a little too exciting!
In addition, what is more curious is that Wang Tongwang, who has been in poor health and bedridden, suddenly went to lead his troops to reconnoiter the enemy's situation?
"Silence!"
Seeing the chaos in the tent, Shang Ji suddenly raised his eyebrows and shouted angrily!
The prestige cultivated by Wang Tong who had been coordinating the whole army on behalf of Wang Tong came into play, and everyone immediately quieted down.
"Liu Meng, you come to report the situation to everyone in detail!" Shang Ji shouted at Liu Meng.
"Yes, General!" Liu Meng immediately recounted the previous statement to everyone again, and after finishing speaking, he knelt on the ground with a puff and said bitterly: "General, the last general is incompetent, causing the prince to suffer, and the last general is willing to be punished!" ”
Shang Ji hesitated slightly, glanced at the people in the big tent, and said loudly: "Captain Liu Meng, negligence, caused Wang Tong to be killed. should have been engaged in military law, thinking that you could snatch back the body of the prince and annihilate the murderer of the prince, I would have spared you a way to live! ”
"The death penalty can be avoided and the living crime cannot be escaped, immediately remove you from the position of captain, I hope you can bravely kill the enemy and atone for your crimes!"
"The last general, General Xie, will not kill!" Liu Meng immediately thanked him.
After the two finished performing, the people in the big tent gradually digested the news.
"Pass the order, from now on, the whole army will be vegetarian, but if there is a Xianbei prisoner of war, not a single one will be left, in order to sacrifice the heroic soul of the prince in the sky!"
"I'll do it!" Everyone hurriedly got up and replied.
Shang Ji needs to characterize Wang Tong's death as soon as possible and make it an iron case, so as not to be discovered in the future. There is no more effective way than to inform the whole army of Wang Tong's death with great fanfare.
A lie is told a thousand times, and it naturally becomes the truth.
When all the soldiers of the army believe that Wang Tong died at the hands of Xianbei people, even if Wang Tong comes back to life and says that he was killed by Shang Ji, I am afraid that no one will believe it.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the prince died unexpectedly, but the army cannot be left without generals for a day, in my opinion, we need to elect a new commander as soon as possible, lead us to slaughter Xianbei, and avenge the prince!"
Guo Biao said loudly.
"General Guo is justified!"
"Yes, yes, at this critical juncture, someone needs to lead us down!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
As soon as Guo Biao's words fell, there was immediately a chorus of echoes.
"General Shang's wisdom and courage are superb, and he has a record of annihilating millions of Xianbei, I recommend General Shang to temporarily take the position of commander of the army!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately turned their eyes to the person who spoke.
This person was stared at by dozens of people, and he was suddenly startled, and stammered: "What? Do you think I'm not right? ”
This person Shang Ji also knew that he led the army to join when he led the army to pass through the Lingzhi City of Beiping County, and the official residence was Sima.
He is not a confidant of Shangji, which means that this person is not the trust arranged by Shangji!
was asked by this general, and there was silence in the big tent for a moment, who dares to say that it is wrong?
"Ji Cai is shallow in learning, and he doesn't dare to take on this heavy responsibility, so please ask you to be smart!" According to the usual practice, Shang Ji needs to shirk twice and show the character of humility.
"If you have to be a general, you can't take on this heavy responsibility, we will only serve the general!"
Su Huan got up and clenched his fists and said loudly.
"I'll only serve the general!" In addition, several descendants of Heishui Sai said loudly.
They are the real trust, but they were accidentally robbed of their jobs.
"Please also ask the general to take on the heavy responsibility and lead us to destroy Xianbei and protect the country!"
Under the leadership of Su Huan and the others, more and more generals knelt on the ground and pleaded in unison, most of them were non-Shang generals.
In fact, for the generals present, whether Shang Ji temporarily took the position of commander did not have any impact.
Anyway, it has always been Shang Ji who is giving orders with Wang Tong's orders before, whether it is marching or rewarding and punishing, it is all Shang Ji who has the final say, and many times people have regarded Shang Ji as the supreme commander.
Under Shang Ji's deliberate operation, everyone almost forgot that there was such a general as Wang Tong.
Now that Wang Tong is "killed", there is nothing wrong with Shang Ji taking over, most of the generals naturally accept this result, and some people even secretly rejoice in their hearts. Shang Ji's recent performance is vividly remembered by everyone, much stronger than Wang Tong, who doesn't know the specific situation, and the soldiers naturally hope that there will be a powerful general to lead the battle, instead of Wang Tong, who is "recuperating" in the carriage all day!
