Chapter 128 Scattered Notes
"Military advisor, generals, the prince urgently summons everyone to discuss matters!"
The words of the gatekeeper rang clearly in everyone's ears.
"How is it possible that the prince wants to discuss matters with all of us?" a general muttered in disbelief.
"What's impossible? We want revenge. Doesn't the prince want revenge too? Let's go, let's go quickly!" After Wang Dahai said this, he walked out first.
This was destined to be a sleepless night. The lights in the main tent were never turned off, and the people inside did not come out all night.
It was not until dawn the next day that military advisor Qin Haotian and the generals returned to their respective tents. However, they did not go back to rest, but to arrange things for their confidants.
The military camp of the Hanliang Kingdom.
"General, General, something bad has happened!" A soldier in uniform rushed into the main tent of General Yelu Chenglin, shouting.
"How dare you! Do you want to live? How dare you curse this general? Come, drag him away and punish him by military law!" Yelu Chenglin was extremely angry.
"Yes, General!"
Soon, the sound of sticks hitting flesh and the soldier's painful wails were heard outside.
"General, please spare my life, General, please spare my life!" The soldier didn't know what he had done wrong. Why did the general give the order to beat people indiscriminately? The people who were arresting people were from the Cangye country, so what did it have to do with him?
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
"General, the general was captured alive by the people of Cang Ye Country. Our fifty thousand soldiers were also captured by the people of Cang Ye Country. I did not participate in this matter, and I did not sell out my country for personal gain. Why can't the general listen to my explanation?"
The soldier screamed in pain and expressed his grievances.
"Hey, Goudan, you're just a rookie who has been in the army for less than a year and can't even hold a sword properly, yet you still want to get involved in this and sell out your country for personal gain. You must have the strength to do that!"
"Besides, who is our general? How could he be captured alive by the Cangye Kingdom? What's more, there are 50,000 soldiers. Are you kidding me? Aren't you afraid that the general will kill you..."
"No, Goudan, what did you just say? You said that the general was captured alive by the Cangye people. How is that possible?" A deputy general of the Hanliang country who just passed by listened carefully to the words of the soldier.
"Wow, Lieutenant General Ling, this is true. I just came back from outside, and the guards at the door said so. Oh, and this is a note I just picked up outside, and it talks about this incident."
The soldier took out a small piece of paper from his arms. Ling Yuanshan took it and saw that what was written on it was indeed true.
"You just said that you picked up this note?" Ling Yuanshan asked the soldier who was beaten and bloody with a serious face.
"In reply to Deputy General Ling, I did pick up this note from the ground outside the military camp. At that time, there were several people who saw it, but none of them could read. I was fortunate enough to have a scholar from the same village teach me at home, so I can read a few words, so..."
The soldier didn't dare to continue.
It is said that a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier. There is no doubt that this soldier is a very scheming guy. It seems that he wants to use this news to attract the general's attention and see if he can get some benefits from it, or climb up the ladder.
Who knows, the general might be so happy that he would give him a position as a small leader.
As a result, because he was too excited, he accidentally touched the general's taboo, and he ended up losing more than he gained. Not only did he not gain any benefits, but he was severely beaten by the angry general and almost lost his life.
"Okay, take you away and let the military doctor check you out. This lieutenant general will go find the general. This matter is very serious. Be careful with your words, okay?" Lieutenant General Ling said to the soldier who had already been caned.
"Yes, Lieutenant General Ling, I understand. I know nothing, and I will never look for the general again!" The soldier had a sad face. This guy could be considered smart, otherwise, he would not have wanted to use this to seek credit.
Unfortunately, the flattery hit the horse's leg.
"Let's go!" Lieutenant General Ling waved his hand.
The soldier who was beaten half to death was taken away by other soldiers. Looking at his disappearing back, Ling Yuanshan felt a headache.
"Somebody come!"
"Deputy General Ling, I'm here!"
"Black Guard, go and see how many of these notes are outside. I order you to take all of them to the general's tent as quickly as possible. Be careful not to cause panic among the soldiers."
"Yes, Lieutenant General Ling, I will definitely complete the mission!"
Looking at the black guard's back as he quickly left, Lieutenant General Ling felt extremely nervous!
He always felt that this might be true.
However, if this were really the case, then one careless move might lead to a mutiny, which would be a very troublesome matter that no one could handle.
Inside the main tent.
When Yelu Chenglin received the note handed to him by Deputy General Ling, he was almost scared to death.
"Deputy General Ling, are you sure this is true?"
Yelu Chenglin stared at Ling Yuanshan and asked.
"General, I can't guarantee it, but I have already sent people to collect all the scattered notes. Regardless of whether this is true or not, we can't take it lightly. After all, stabilizing the morale of the army is the most important thing."
Lieutenant General Ling spoke cautiously with beads of sweat on his forehead.
"That's right. Immediately send someone to Bingyan Valley to get information. This matter must be handled quickly. Also, before we get the exact information from Big Brother, we must keep it secret!"
"Yes, General!"
Deputy General Ling quickly agreed.
But, can this news really be kept secret?
Deputy General Ling was really skeptical.
"and many more!"
"General, is there anything else?" asked Lieutenant General Ling.
"Send a trusted person to report this matter to the Second Prince in a tactful manner, so that he can be mentally prepared!" Although Yelu Chenglin was unwilling to believe it, his intuition told him that this matter was probably true.
Instead of waiting for the Second Prince to get the news from somewhere else, it is better to not hide it from him from the beginning. After all, the safety of the eldest brother directly affects the success or failure of the Second Prince.
I hope that this was just a false alarm.
"Yes, General. I will arrange it right away. Please rest assured!"
After saying this, Lieutenant General Ling quickly left the main tent.
However, there are some things that cannot be concealed just because you want to. On the contrary, the more they want to conceal it, the faster the news spreads.
In less than a day, the news spread throughout the entire Hanliang army camp. From Yelu Chenglin to the soldiers who made fire and cooked and fed the war horses, everyone knew that General Yelu Chengxin and all 50,000 soldiers had been captured by the Cangye country. They even knew the details of how they were captured.
At this moment, the entire Hanliang Army camp was in an uproar.
