In the barracks outside the city, there was smoke and dust everywhere on the school grounds. The soldiers were sweating profusely, or they were practicing battle formations, or training various technologies. They were all full of energy and full of enthusiasm.
With such a military appearance, there is no sign of a half-destroyed soldier or a defeated general. It is clearly an elite army ready to go.
The reason couldn't be simpler. Standing on the general platform is Li Cunxiao, a military general.
The thousands of soldiers on the school field were recruited by him on the way back to Daizhou. Although he only trained for a short time, under the influence of his military field, the soldiers have quickly changed their appearance and become absolutely elite.
These soldiers were originally elite, skilled in fighting and fighting in battle, but they lost a battle in Taiyuan and the morale of the army was low. Ordinary generals may not be able to improve their morale quickly, but Li Cunxiao is naturally different.
Li Cunxiao looked around the school grounds, his eyes were calm, and there was a hint of fighting intent in his eyes.
With elite soldiers in hand, no matter what situation they face, a military general will have the confidence to win.
If you don't have this thought, you are not qualified to be called a military general.
Lieutenant General Qin Mingyi stood behind Li Cunxiao, looking at the school field, he said with emotion: "In just a few days, the soldiers have been restored to their full glory. I am afraid that no one can do it except the general."
Between the words, there is admiration for Li Cunxiao from the bottom of my heart.
In fact, not only Qin Mingyi at present, but also the generals under Li Cunxiao's command would all admire him greatly. This is inevitable, because Li Cunxiao has not been defeated, and the generals have made great military achievements following him, who is not afraid of submission
What's more, Li Cunxiao is well versed in the method of leading troops, and he is very considerate to his subordinates, so when they are on the battlefield, they are all willing to follow Li Cunxiao to their death, and when they are bloody, they don't even take death seriously.
Li Cunxiao said calmly: "If the county king trains troops, the effect will only be better than this general."
Qin Mingyi smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to respond to this, because it was obviously wrong. But he couldn't refute the other party. The tone of the other party's words was extremely serious, without any intention of going against his will.
Qin Mingyi could only sigh: "The general is loyal, the county king wins the general, why worry about not being able to bring peace to the world? The small setbacks right now are not worth mentioning at all."
Li Cunxiao was noncommittal. In fact, he is not good at words, and often can only respond silently to such explicit compliments in person.

However, Li Cunxiao naturally knows that the morale of the army needs to be encouraged from time to time, so he said: "The general heard that the county king has sent Kang Junli to the Tatar tribe to borrow troops. We only need to defend Daizhou, and when the grassland cavalry arrives, there will be a counterattack With the power, the recovery of Taiyuan is just around the corner!"
Qin Mingyi was really excited when he heard the words, "This is great!"
But then his eyes dimmed again, and he hesitated for a while, "There is a sentence in the end, I don't know whether to say it or not."
Li Cunxiao glanced at him: "General Qin, you want to say, that under King An's command is a very high-level warrior?"
Qin Mingyi cupped his fists: "The last general made a mistake..."
Li Cunxiao did not have the identity of the famous Li Xian. If the soldiers knew that the old King An was not dead and joined forces with the King Xin'an, it would definitely be a heavy blow to morale. Since Li Xian did not reveal his identity, Li Cunxiao was also happy to go along with it.
He said: "Although that Xiao general's realm is extremely high, half of his foot has stepped into the realm of a famous general, and he can be called a half-step famous general or quasi-famous general, but he is not a famous general after all, and he is not invincible."
As he spoke, Li Cunxiao suddenly clenched his fist, and his whole body exploded with momentum. A wave of spiritual energy rushed out from the top of his head with the intention of killing, and went straight to the sky, blowing away all the white clouds, without knowing where it would end.
Sensing the movement, the soldiers on the school field all looked sideways, with awe written all over their faces.
Qin Mingyi's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, and then he was overjoyed, and he clasped his fists quickly: "Congratulations, General, your realm has improved again!"
Li Cunxiao regained his momentum, and said calmly: "As you can see, I have reached the middle stage of a general. If I face that brave general, although I can't defeat him, I can hold on for a while, and I won't be defeated quickly. Realm, no one under Li Ye's command is invincible, and when the army arrives on the battlefield, the odds of victory are great!"
The last time he fought against Li Xian, although Li Cunxiao lost without any suspense, it was also an opportunity for enlightenment. He seized it, and after these few days of enlightenment, his realm was immediately improved.
This is also the reason why military generals are all accomplished on the battlefield.
Li Cunxiao was originally very talented, and he was also a veteran in the army, so the so-called thick accumulation is like this.
Qin Mingyi immediately raised his arms and shouted: "The general is mighty!"
Thousands of soldiers on the school field also stopped their training, and all shouted in unison: "The general is mighty!"
Li Cunxiao also raised his arms and shouted, but with different words: "The king of the county is mighty!"
The soldiers then said together: "The king of the county is mighty!"
After this episode, the soldiers trained even harder, and their morale was already very high. It could be seen that many of them couldn't wait to go to battle.
Military spirit is available.
But at this moment, a secretary from the county palace joined the army and entered the barracks, and when he arrived at the station, he passed on Li Keyong's order: "The county king has ordered General Li to change into his regular clothes and go to the governor's residence for a banquet."
Li Cunxiao did not doubt that he was there, "I will go here."
Soon, Li Cunxiao changed his armor, took only a horizontal knife, and two personal soldiers, followed the recorder and joined the army to the Governor's Mansion.
Dismounting in front of the gate, Li Cunxiao handed over the reins to the soldiers, and they will wait here.
Before entering the gate, Li Cunxiao handed over the horizontal knife to the guard, and followed the recorder to join the army into the mansion.
In front of the hanging flower gate, Li Cunxiao saw Li Keyong waiting there, and the other party was smiling and looked very kind.
"How dare you wait for the king of the county?" Li Cunxiao was flattered and hurried forward to salute.
"I heard that the general has been working hard to rectify military discipline and train soldiers these days. I haven't had a good rest for many days. I can't bear it, so I prepared some food and wine. Please come over and have a rest." Li Keyong walked down the steps to help Li Cunxiao , the smile is softer, and the eyes are full of appreciation and understanding.
After saying that, he dragged Li Cunxiao in without any explanation.
Li Cunxiao was very moved, and there was a surge of enthusiasm in his heart.
He blamed himself very much for the defeat of Taiyuan City that day. He felt very guilty and annoyed these days, feeling that he had let down the trust that Li Keyong had entrusted to him during the critical period of the war.
Unexpectedly, Li Keyong didn't mean to blame him at all, and now he still understands his hard work in training, and hosted a banquet to entertain him personally.
What is the hard work of training, at least it is not as hard as fighting. Li Cunxiao thinks that Li Keyong is really kind, and he is really lucky to be able to follow the opponent.
The so-called thousand-mile horses often exist but bole does not often exist. There are more than tens of millions of talented people in the world, but most of them are mediocre and depressed all their lives. There is no one in a hundred who can display their talents and ambitions.
Li Cunxiao felt that Li Keyong was his nobleman, and he became more determined in his heart. He must do his best in this battle, even if he was shrouded in horse leather, it would open the situation for the army and let Li Keyong make a comeback.
"General, I'm afraid you haven't eaten a few good meals in the past few days? We are in a bad situation now. The general is the number one good general under my king. If you don't eat well and affect your health, it will be a loss for the army. In the future This king needs to rely more on the general, and the general will not be restrained later..." Li Keyong pulled Li Keyong to the middle of the doorstep.
"Thanks to the love of the king of the county, the last general..." Li Cunxiao choked up and couldn't speak, he was not good at words, and he didn't know what to say.
He didn't have to say anything.
There is no need to finish this sentence.
Because Li Keyong had already shot at him suddenly.
An extremely sharp dagger stabbed into Li Cunxiao's unprotected belly without warning!
Li Cunxiao froze all over and stopped in his footsteps.
He looked at Li Keyong blankly, his eyes full of puzzlement and doubt, like a child who was slapped by an adult for no reason.
He was defenseless.
Of course he would not guard against Li Keyong.
Which child would guard against his parents stabbing him with a knife for no reason
Moreover, the military generals are all cultivated in the battle formation, and when they leave the battle formation, they are just ordinary Qi training monks with little combat power left. Unlike Li Xian, he is also a Taoist soldier.
At this moment, when he saw Li Keyong, half of the previous friendly smile had disappeared from his face. Yes, just cold and ruthless.
The dagger suddenly stirred in his lower abdomen, smashing his air and viscera.
Li Ke used lightning to distance himself.
Fu Cunshen led countless soldiers with shields and knives, rushed out from both sides of the gate, surrounded Li Cunxiao, and waited for him. Hatred, disdain, fear, and defense for him are written on everyone's face.
Li Cunxiao stood there with difficulty holding his blood gushing out of his stomach. The pain distorted his facial features, making him look extremely hideous, but this was not as sad as the sadness in his eyes, which had a greater impact on everyone.
"Jun Wang... what are you doing?" Li Cunxiao's face was bleak, with an unbelievable and unacceptable look on his face, "This is... why?"
Li Keyong had already stood behind the soldier, even though he knew that Li Cunxiao could no longer threaten him at this moment, he was unwilling to approach him.
He sneered and said: "You colluded with the leader of the bandit, Li Ye, and tried to murder this king, but this king wants to ask you, this king has always treated you well, and has repeatedly entrusted you with important tasks. Why do you let me down so much?!"
In the end, Li Keyong was already stern.
Li Cunxiao's weak defense: "The last general is loyal to the county king and has no intention of betrayal..."
"Shut up! If you hadn't betrayed the king and taken refuge with Li Ye, how could you have been passive in the battle of Taiyuan and let the Pinglu army attack the city? If you hadn't betrayed your faith, how could Taiyuan City have been broken by the Pinglu army? ? You ruined the great cause of this king, and you still have the face to say loyalty here?!" Li Ke sternly reprimanded, full of righteous words.
The blood pooled under his feet and spread quickly. Li Cunxiao could not stand still. He knelt down on the ground, barely supporting the ground with one hand, and still stubbornly looked up at Li Keyong: "This general has never colluded with the enemy. Army... ”
"You keep claiming to be loyal. If you didn't collude with the bandit army and Taiyuan City was breached, why didn't you die in the battle?!" Fu Cunshen shouted loudly at this time, "If it weren't for you, our army would not have any ceremonies at all. The defeat of Zhouzhou and Taiyuan will not ruin the good situation in Hedong, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers will not die in vain!"
Li Cunxiao stared at Fu Cunjian in a daze, the hatred on the other side's face seemed to have revenge against him for killing his father.
Not only Fu Cunjian, but all the soldiers gritted their teeth after hearing this, as if they wanted to eat his flesh and sleep his skin.
Li Cunxiao fell into an ice cave.
He finally understood.
Li Keyong not only wanted to kill him, but also blamed him for the failure of the Battle of Hedong.
If he died here today, not only would he lose his life, but his reputation would also be lost. Even the feats gained in countless bloody battles in the past will be erased.
Li Cunxiao was finally speechless, he just looked at Li Keyong in a daze, and couldn't help but shed two lines of tears: "The king of the county..."
How could the benevolent Li Keyong treat him like this
He really wanted to ask Li Keyong, how could he bear to treat him like this!
But he didn't ask. Seeing Li Ke's indifferent eyes, he knew that everything was a foregone conclusion, and it was useless to ask.
Li Cunxiao's hands were covered with his own blood.
He is desperate.
He suddenly growled, and pulled out the dagger from his lower abdomen!
"This traitor wants to assassinate the county king, kill him quickly!" Fu Cunshen's expression changed, and he shouted quickly.
All the soldiers rushed forward.
But Li Cunxiao's dagger did not stab anyone else.
Instead, he stabbed himself in the throat.
th.
With his eyes wide open, he fell into a pool of blood, dying with regret.
The soldiers didn't stop, they rushed forward, screaming and slashing down with their long knives, and chopped the traitor into pieces with the power of hatred.
After a while, the soldiers retreated one after another.
They looked at Li Cunxiao's corpse with distorted faces, their hatred couldn't be eliminated, and some even spit on the pile of flesh and blood.
Li Ke looked at Li Cunxiao with his hands behind his back, his eyes were indifferent, he looked at the soldiers again, and said indignantly: "Li Cunxiao was moved by money, treacherously colluded with Li Ye, so that Hedong was defeated one after another, it was a waste of my sincere trust! Now Li Cunxiao has been put to death, pass on this king's decree, and the nine tribes of barbarians!"
"Decree!"
Li Keyong took one last look at Li Cunxiao's corpse, slammed his sleeves, and turned to leave.
He was suspicious of Li Cunxiao. For a loyal and indistinguishable military general in his army, it is no longer that someone else is sleeping soundly on the side of the couch, but that there is a sharp sword hanging from the top of the couch.
If you don't solve the internal hidden dangers, you will be in danger, so how can you talk about dealing with external enemies
He must get rid of Li Cunxiao.
In addition, he also needed someone to take the blame for the defeat in Hedong.
Some people take the blame, others are not at fault.
Li Keyong wanted people to know that the reason for Hedong's defeat was the current situation, all because Li Cunxiao was insane and colluded with the enemy's internal and external forces.
He just trusts the generals under his command and is beyond reproach.
In this way, everyone will not doubt Li Keyong's ability.
Li Keyong needs the soldiers of the three armies, and the officials and people of the four prefectures of Dai, Shuo, Yun, and Wei. They still believe in him as before.
He wants people to believe that now that Li Cunxiao is dead, and after eradicating this traitor, he will naturally be able to regain his strength, win many battles as before, conquer Taiyuan, and then settle in Hedong!
Now, as soon as the Tatar reinforcements arrive, he will be able to counterattack Li Ye!
