Chapter 15: The soldiers are working hard, I am doing it with reluctance

Chapter 15: The soldiers are very willing to help, I am reluctant to do so...

Eh? No...

What the hell?
The army under your command intends to support me and establish independence?

Xu Beichen first looked at Wang Wu beside him in surprise, then looked at the Beiliang cavalry soldiers who had rushed to greet him from Zijinzhou City.

Okay, okay, you want to wear the yellow robe, right?

After a brief moment of distraction, he roughly guessed what was going on.

It is estimated that it was the Beiliang cavalry soldiers stationed in Jinzhou City who learned about the previous actions of the imperial court.

I'm planning to let him rebel!

but.

This privately set up a sacrifice to heaven, privately made a dragon robe, privately made a dragon chair...

What is this?

Are you ready for everything you need to be an emperor?

"Why not just carve an imperial seal yourself..."

Xu Beichen complained silently.

He could almost understand what the soldiers under his command were thinking.

In the past, his predecessor showed himself to be too loyal to the court.

So that...

Even now, he disregarded the emperor's order, killed the court's assistant minister of war, and forced his army to fight against the Northern Mang army.

I guess the soldiers had another intention!
What if the next time the Dayang court issues an edict ordering him to return to the capital?

I'm afraid he will no longer have any reason to disobey the order and will focus on returning to the capital to report!
Even if he knew, he would be doomed after returning to Beijing...

In the end, I will sacrifice my life for justice!

and so.

The soldiers tried to save his life.

We can only force him to rebel when we have no other choice!
After sorting out the situation in his mind, Xu Beichen's lips curled up slightly into a smile.

He had no choice but to accept the soldiers' hard work with reluctance!

only.

If we expose the rebellion now, it may be too early.

at this time.

A group of Beiliang cavalrymen who came out of Jinzhou City have already arrived in front of Xu Beichen and others.

Then, everyone dismounted from their horses.

Facing Xu Beichen, he knelt on one knee and saluted respectfully.

"We are waiting to welcome the general back in triumph!"

Xu Beichen smiled and waved his hand, signaling everyone to stand up.

His eyes naturally fell on the two people leading in front.

The young man in the front was wearing silver-white armor, holding a silver spear, with a tall figure, and a handsome and majestic aura.

This is another deputy general under his command, Zhang Yunshan!
Compared to Wang Wu's ferocity on the battlefield, Zhang Yunshan has a more calm aura.

The person behind Zhang Yunshan was a middle-aged scholar who was not wearing armor.

He was only wearing a slightly old robe and a scarf on his head.

Moreover, his face was pale and sickly, and he coughed from time to time.

He looks more like a failed scholar!

But Xu Beichen knew clearly that this Li Sisheng had always been praised as a "military advisor" by the Beiliang Iron Cavalry soldiers!
"Yunshan, Sisheng, the two of you come here."

Xu Beichen waved to the two people in front of him, and glanced at Wang Wu beside him.

All the people who were his right-hand men among the Beiliang Iron Cavalry were finally here!
And this intention of his independence...

This must be the plan of Zhang Yunshan and Li Sisheng.

The two of them quickly came to Xu Beichen, with some confusion on their faces.

however.

Xu Beichen just looked at them calmly without saying a word.

That look made both of them feel a little stunned.

"General, what's wrong?"

Zhang Yunshan asked tentatively.

But then, he saw a smile on Xu Beichen's face.

"Thank you for your hard work in guarding Jinzhou City!"

"It's just that I don't want to see what you do in Jinzhou City affect my plan."

Hear this.

Zhang Yunshan's eyes suddenly fixed.

The same was true for Li Sisheng beside him. The look in his eyes when he looked at Xu Beichen became a little more serious.

There was actually only one thing they did in Jinzhou City—

Planning the general's rebellion!

The general had clearly been leading his troops to fight the Northern Mang army on the front line before, so it was impossible for him to know...

Thinking of this, helplessness quickly emerged on their faces.

I'm afraid the general had anticipated everything before this battle!

Li Sisheng sighed lightly and immediately knelt down towards Xu Beichen.

"General, I admit my guilt!"

"But... ahem... we are only concerned about the general's well-being!"

His already sickly complexion became even paler.

The sadness in his expression seemed uncontrollable!
And aside.

Zhang Yunshan also knelt down immediately, facing Xu Beichen, his eyes instantly reddened.

"The general is devoted to his country and his people. We all see his loyalty."

"But the court is unfair to the general!"

"We might as well..."

But before he could finish his words.

Xu Beichen shouted immediately.

"shut up!"

Oh my god, Zhang Yunshan almost revealed my conspiracy to rebel!

Instead of openly showing off your rebellion now, it is better to develop quietly first.

After all, although the Beiliang Iron Cavalry is strong, there are still some unreasonably strong land immortals in this world!
Even after the rebellion, the Northern Liang cavalry overthrew Dayang and supported him to ascend the throne.

But by then.

The Beiliang Iron Cavalry had no idea how many soldiers had died in the battle.

He can't be an emperor without any power under his command, right?
In addition, the Northern Mang is still eyeing the Central Plains...

In short, now is not the time to openly rebel!
After being scolded by Xu Beichen.

Although Zhang Yunshan lowered his head, he stubbornly clenched his fists tightly, and his knuckles turned white!
He hates it!
Such an emperor who does not recognize loyalty and goodness, such a court that is ashamed of its soldiers...

What is the need for support?

"Cough cough cough..."

Li Sisheng's cough seemed to become more intense, and within a short period of time, his face turned pale.

He finally managed to calm his breathing and spoke to Xu Beichen again with difficulty.

"General, we are well aware of your loyalty."

"But how can we just watch the general die?"

"If so, we are willing to return to the capital with the general!"

There was a hint of pleading in his tone.

But just after he finished speaking, he couldn't help coughing again.

At this time, Wang Wu and other generals in the rear had already understood what was going on.

They all came to Xu Beichen and knelt down respectfully.

"We are willing to share life and death with the general!"

just.

After they finished speaking, Xu Beichen did not respond.

But until Li Sisheng's cough gradually subsided.

Xu Beichen's voice just sounded faintly.

"When did I say I would return to Beijing?"

Ok?
time.

All the generals were stunned.

They all looked up and stared at Xu Beichen in surprise.

General...didn’t you say you wanted to return to Beijing?

Li Sisheng stared at Xu Beichen, his eyes kept changing as if he realized something.

There was a hint of disbelief in his expression.

But Xu Beichen did not explain further.

He knew that Li Sisheng was a smart man and a simple hint would be enough!

As for how to make arrangements with these generals, it will all be left to Li Sisheng.

After thinking about it, he gave another instruction to Li Sisheng.

"Let's go back to Jinzhou City first."

"Hide and pack up all the preparations you made in the city!"

I don’t need it for now, but maybe it will come in handy in the future!
And at this time.

Li Sisheng's originally pale cheeks gradually turned red, and his breathing became violently rapid.

Zhang Yunshan and other generals couldn't help but widen their eyes!
