Chapter 703 Counterattack (Part 1)
In an instant, the scene of tens of thousands of people instantly fell into a strange silence. All the soldiers and generals stood there stupidly, feeling a little lost in their minds.
Many people even think that there is something wrong with their ears. How could they hear such an inexplicable statement? How could General Cui do such a crazy thing? Yes, he must have heard it wrong, or the prisoners were crazy and said it wrong!
Cui Chengshuang's heart was even more storm, and while his body trembled slightly, his eyes were even more staring at Li Ling. At this moment, he finally understood why the other party had to do all this and why he had to make things so big that he actually summoned the soldiers of the whole city to be heard.
It turned out that they were not only to restore their innocence, but also to expose their crimes in front of everyone. They were ready to nail themselves to death early in the morning!
No, not only Li Ling, but Dong Shuai... Cui Chengshuang suddenly thought about the key point, and his heart tightened, and his eyes fell on his immediate superior. If he hadn't suddenly appeared, everything would have been in his own control. No matter how many arrangements Li Ling had, he would not be able to turn over under his own pressure. But with Dong Gongwang, everything would be completely different. In order to achieve his goal, he even designed to deliberately gather the troops in the city to reveal everything in public!
What a vicious and insidious method!
At this moment, Cui Chengshuang was filled with fear and resentment, but she completely forgot that she actually used a conspiracy to kill people first and colluded with Guirong people. This was how everything that happened later and Li Ling's counterattack was brought back.
Before everyone could come back to their senses from this sudden incident, Dong Gongwang shouted first: "It's simply nonsense! Do you know who Cui Chengshuang is? He is a famous general who has made countless contributions and killed countless enemies in the Jinzhou army. How could he do such a rebellious act? Don't think that such a false accusation and biting can make me believe me and the court believe me! If you can't give a perfect explanation today, let alone that I will not spare you, even the tens of thousands of soldiers here will make you pay the price!"
This shout completely ignited the emotions of the soldiers, and for a moment, shouts surged from all directions:
"Yes, how can you count the words of the thieves in the foreign country? They are all tricks that wrongly accuse people. Do you think we will believe it?"
"You should all be cut into pieces. At this time, you dare to arrange our General Cui. I will kill you with one knife!"
"Our General Cui has made countless contributions. It must be the statement you made because you want to harm him!"...
While roaring, many generals even drew their swords in their hands and rushed forward, as if they were really going to kill these enemies who had falsely accused their generals on the spot. This action immediately scared them to death. If someone hadn't guarded them behind them, they would have turned around and fled.
Fortunately, at this time, Gongwang Dong took another step forward and shouted loudly: "Stop it all!" Although he was old, his voice was still loud. This roar was like thunder exploding, and it steadily suppressed everyone's shouting, which also stopped the soldiers and generals' impulsive actions. Then they looked at the old general who was respected by everyone with anticipation.
Some of them were anxious and straightforward, and even shouted again: "Dong Shuai, you have to make the decision for General Cui. We will never believe that he will collude with foreign enemies..."
"Don't say you don't believe it, I don't believe it either!" Dong Gongwang immediately expressed his opinion and said emotionally, "He is a junior who was cultivated and promoted by me. He has been under my command for many years. I naturally know what kind of personality he is! Without waiting for more, I will give him justice, as long as he is wronged!"
Dong Shuai's prestige is enough to suppress everyone here, and everyone is looking at him and waiting for him to give General Cui a justice. Only Cui Chengshuang knew that things were not good, and the initiative had completely fallen into the hands of the other party, and he had to passively be tried.
The key is that in such a public eye, I can't rely on the identity of the commander to interfere with the most direct means.
If he really faced such a dilemma in the command post, he would have to fight and directly ordered everyone, including Dong Gongwang, to be killed. At worst, he would just lie that Dong Gongwang was pretended by a thief. As long as he passed this level, he would always come up with a way to deal with it.
But now, facing tens of thousands of soldiers - even if they are their subordinates, they should only follow their orders - he cannot use such rough methods. Therefore, since he was called Dong Gongwang's identity, he has been irreversible.
Gongwang Dong didn't give him too much time to regret. He quickly looked at him and said solemnly: "Cui Chengshuang, don't you argue for yourself?"
"I... they are slandering people with blood. Before this, Mo Jiang had never met them. I really don't know where their identification came from!" Cui Chengshuang could only exonerate himself with some pale words.
Gong Dong nodded and looked at the captives who were pale and obviously frightened: "What do you say? If you can't provide conclusive evidence for the generals in the court, I will not be able to spare you!"
"Elder General, everything we say is true... If he hadn't secretly informed us, how could we have grasped the whereabouts of the grain transport team and arranged an ambush early?"
"Yes, if we hadn't received the approval of the generals in the army, how could we dare to offend the official army? They promised us that we would not pursue the matter afterwards, so that we would dare to make the military rations."
Several thieves in Green Forest Road started shouting first, and what they said was somewhat reasonable, but it was obviously not enough. Dong Gongwang looked at the guys who looked different from those of the Central Plains: "What do you say? Did General Cui send someone to contact you?"
"No..." a man shook his head and said in a terrible Central Plains Mandarin, "We did this by following the arrangements of our tribe members... They said it very clearly. As long as we can send troops to rob and kill all the grain teams and kill a Yue official named Li Ling, then we will not only get enough food, leave the Central Plains and return to the grassland, but also ensure that our tribe members in Bazhou can return safely..."
"Huh?" Dong Gongwang's face suddenly changed and he stared at him, "What did you say? What does this have to do with the Guirong people in Bazhou before?"
"At that time, the Great Vietnamese army surrounded Bazhou, and our tribesmen were trapped in the Jedi. Only when they were willing to let go of the road could they ensure safety. And they also agreed that as long as we got things done, we were allowed to go back to the grassland through the Central Plains Pass... These were all said by our tribesmen from Bazhou. We naturally believed it, so we would risk attacking the grain transport team...
"But they still deceived us. What they said before was that the grain transport team was not very powerful. As long as they seized the opportunity to attack and attack, they could wipe them out. But as a result, we and they killed in that town for three days and three nights, and they had already taken down the town. They still defeated us..." As he said that, the man stared at Cui Chengshuang again with resentment.
He did have reason to express his anger, because in his opinion, this might be the strategy of the Central Plains defenders to attract their remaining troops and wipe out them out, so they were naturally happy to push all the mistakes on Cui Chengshuang and kill him.
At this moment, the screams of refuting around the surroundings were reduced by half, and many soldiers showed suspicious expressions. They might not be sure of the authenticity of this statement, but one thing can be linked, that is, the attack on Bazhou was actually very difficult at the beginning, and then slowed down half a month ago. Half a month ago, the general suddenly ordered a general attack and took down the border city that had been unsuccessful in the battle.
If there was no such incident, the soldiers would not have felt that there was any problem with the siege before. But now, after being told by a Gui Rong man, the suspicion in his heart quickly arose and he is no longer as firm as before.
Their gazes were watched back and forth by many subordinates, which made Cui Chengshuang even more uneasy. He shouted immediately: "You are just slandering people. Master, you won't really believe the false accusations of these people, right? Li Ling, I think this is your conspiracy, and I want to use such means to frame me. I have no grudges with you, so why do you do this? Oh, by the way, are you a spy sent by the Guirong people to the Central Plains to disrupt the morale of my border army?"
At this point, all he could do was to completely muddle the water and lead the suspicion to Li Ling. After this statement, Cui Chengshuang's mind became active and quickly seized the opportunity and shouted: "That's it... You said that it was your grain transport route I revealed, but in fact, the one who can really master your grain transport route is you, the grain transport governor! And the previous food problems, it was obviously your tricks to make my army fail. Li Ling, you are really despicable. In order to harm me, you set up such a big game!
"But you underestimate Dong Shuai and me too much. You can't hide your plan from us. Dong Shuai, everything was planned by him in secret. The so-called evidence of these people was arranged by him, so it must not be trusted!"
His forced explanation really made the soldiers shake again. They looked at each other, but they didn't know how to accept it.
Chapter completed!
