The middle-level generals, with more than thirty people, entered one after another from the entrance of the big tent, stood in several rows in the middle of the big tent, and saluted Li Baide together.

"You must enter the Central Army's tent without summoning. Don't you know the rules of this battalion?"

Li Baide glanced at everyone with a serious face and scolded in an extremely stern tone.

"We will naturally know this camp rule."

An elderly general about fifty years old was recommended as the representative of everyone, and stood up before the commander's case, bowed to Li Baide and spoke.

The older general, named Wu Shi, was a general with white hair, but was quite energetic. He spoke with a sense of majesty. Although he had intentionally suppressed the murderous aura that had been developed in the battlefields of many years in front of the marshal and in front of many generals, the murderous aura that had been cultivated in many battles in the battlefields, although he deliberately suppressed it, it was still clearly manifested.

"Since you know, why do you still knowingly commit the crime?" Li Baide stared at Wu Shi, and said with a stern expression.

"Marcel, we did not knowingly committing it. We really have something unclear. We have to ask to see the Marshal to relieve our doubts." Wu Shi bowed again and said neither humble nor arrogantly.

"What's the matter unknown?" Li Baide said in a deep voice.

"The rumor in the camp is fake. I don't know if this matter is true. Please tell the marshal to tell the truth. Otherwise, we generals who are neither up nor down will know what to do next." Wu Shi said, turning his head to look at the companions who stood silently behind him, as if they wanted to draw strength and courage to confront the marshal from them.

After hearing this, Li Baide twisted his beard and turned his head to look at Guo Xiangcheng, as if saying, it seems that we have necessary consultation in advance, otherwise, we will be in a confused situation now and don’t know how to deal with the generals’ questions.

"Dear generals, these are all rumors. Don't pay attention to them, let alone believe them." Li Baide waved his hand and said in a plain tone.

"Marson, there is no wind or wave. It is not difficult to make us believe that the emperor is true. Isn't there a Xinglu Lake behind our camp? You might as well let His Majesty swim in the lake, so the rumors will be broken without attacking." Wu Shi's voice was sonorous and his tone was tough.

"Bold! You little general, dare to point fingers at His Majesty the Emperor?! It's really a brave man!" Li Baide suddenly changed color, raised his hand and pointed at Wu Shi's nose, and scolded loudly.

"If His Majesty the Emperor is true, the last general will naturally be punished!" Wu Shi had a stubborn temper and said tit-for-tat.

"This person offended the power of heaven and argued for the supreme, and his crimes were not to be punished! The person who came, dragged him out and beheaded to show his head to the public to serve as a warning!" Li Baide shouted angrily, his beard raised and his eyes were erect, which made people feel terrible.

Immediately, two guards came in from outside the tent, grabbed Wu Shi's shoulders from both sides, and dragged them outside the tent door.

"Stop the anger of the marshal!" All the middle-level generals who followed Wu Shi into the tent clasped their fists and saluted Li Baide, and pleaded for the old general in unison. "General Wu has no intention of offending the emperor or the marshal. He just wanted to calm the rumors, and he was also considering the overall situation of our army."

"Don't say too much, otherwise you will be the same as him!" Li Baide raised his hand and said with a dark face. From his heart, he did not want to kill people, but it would be difficult to calm the rumors if he didn't kill one or two people at this time of crisis. Because it was not a rumor at all, but the truth. To forcefully cover up the truth, then iron-blooded means must be used.

"Are you guilty if the marshal doesn't listen to the advice? Even if you kill me, the brothers in the camp will not believe you." Wu Shi, who was pulled out, shouted loudly while struggling.

"Catch it!" Li Baide, a tent, waved his hand and said coldly.

"Click~"

As the sword and axe were swinging, Wu Shi's head fell to the ground, and bright red blood sprayed everywhere, dyeing the door of the tent red.

The old general Wu Shi never dreamed that he was beheaded by the marshal after saying these few words. The middle-level generals were even more shocked, looking at each other, unable to see the calmness in the other's eyes. They no longer spoke and were silent, but most of them guessed what was going on in their hearts.

All the middle-level generals left the tent with sadness, with only a few core figures left in the tent.

"Marson, when this rumor is prevalent, there are two ways to calm the rumor: one is to bring out the truth, and the other is to eliminate the truth." The cunning Guo Xiangcheng leaned sideways toward Li Baide, stretched out two thick fingers, and said slowly.

Li Baide frowned slightly and raised his hand and stretched out: "I don't understand what Lord Guo means very much, please tell me clearly!"

Guo Xiangcheng smiled slightly: "The so-called truth is to tell all the soldiers that the emperor is indeed fake. But we have the emperor's grandson, and that is also the legitimate heir to the throne! We might as well pull down the fake emperor and openly support the young master as the new emperor. That will make our army even more famous."

"This matter cannot be done." Li Baide immediately shook his head and said. "If you admit that the emperor is false, I am afraid that the morale of the army will be disintegrated and you will never be able to gather again."

"Then we can only use the second method: to eliminate the truth."

"What does it mean to eliminate the truth?"

Guo Xiangcheng said without hesitation: "That is to make the real emperor Li Dan so that he will not have the chance to appear again. In that case, the emperor we support, even if it is fake, can be faked all the way to the end. After all the gods are captured, then if the fake emperor dies after a sudden illness, then everything will be perfect."

"The emperor's heir did not make any mistakes. It is probably a bit too much for us to kill him." Li Baide looked at Guo Xiangcheng with suspicion and said in dissatisfaction.

"Apart from that, is there any better way for the marshal?" Guo Xiangcheng asked back with a cunning smile on his face.

"Let me think about it." Li Baide stood up and paced back and forth in the tent, scratching his head from time to time. He really had no good idea, and Guo Xiangcheng's solution was not what he wanted, so he had difficulty making a choice.

He knew that Guo Xiangcheng wanted to support the emperor's grandson Li Zitang as emperor. He also had feelings for Li Zitang and had held this idea before, but the latter was too strong and if he was made emperor, it would be difficult to control it in the future. The emperor's heir Li Dan was a cowardly person and was easy to control. Compared with the two, he would rather establish Li Dan.

However, Li Dan was unwilling to oppose his mother queen clearly. Therefore, they had no choice but to establish a fake one.

If the emperor is not established, they can still turn the martial arts with a clear stand. The problem is that when they stand, the one they stand is fake.

If the secret is not exposed, they don't care, but the secret is exposed unexpectedly.

There were at least 10,000 soldiers who saw the content of the notice with their own eyes, and almost all soldiers heard the rumors.

If these rumors are not clarified, what will the soldiers under his command view him?

For a moment, a thought emerged in Li Baide's mind, believing that Guo Xiangcheng deliberately told the secret and deliberately let him hear it while eavesdropping.

After this idea arose, Li Baide's favor for Guo Xiangcheng suddenly disappeared, thinking that the latter would become an obstacle to his way forward.

However, it is not yet time to turn against Guo Xiang, because the latter has a very powerful force. He brought 30,000 of these 90,000 soldiers, and 30,000 of them were brought by Li Zitang. It can be said that in terms of the number of soldiers, Li Baide was at a weak disadvantage.

Fortunately, Li Baide has a certain advantage in the quota of generals.

"Is this the only way?" Li Baide, who had been thinking for a while, stopped pacing, looked at Guo Xiangcheng who was in a squint, and asked in a helpless tone.

Guo Xiangcheng shrugged and gave Li Baide a calm smile, which means that you are the marshal, and you will take charge of such a big deal.

Li Baide walked to the position of commander, sat down with a golden sword, glanced at Zuoxiong and other generals, and asked expressionlessly: "Dear generals, what do you think you should do?"

"Mr. Guo's suggestions make some sense." The generals looked at each other for a few times, and then smiled and said, "They were all newly promoted, and they were not close to the royal heirs and had no feelings for them, so they all had an indifferent attitude if they were killed or not.

"Since everyone holds this idea, I can only abandon the small righteousness and follow the big righteousness." Li Baide gritted his teeth, showed a sense of embarrassment and pain of destroying his relatives for justice, and said slowly in a deep tone.
