Chapter 700 Dong Gongwang (1)

Dong Gongwang!

This name is considered a thunderous existence in Jinzhou and even the entire northern border.

In the eyes of many border soldiers and civilians, this descendant of the general is the Great Wall and pillars on the northwest border of Dayue, which is the source of everyone's sense of security.

Because of his existence, Jinzhou has been a mediocre person for 20 or 30 years. Because of his position in the army, the 180,000 border troops in Jinzhou can be guarded with peace of mind without having to worry about other things. From time to time, they can also go north to the Great Wall and kill Guirong to make military achievements.

It can be said that Gong Dong hopes that Dong Shuai is a god-like figure in the Jinzhou territory. There are countless generals he cultivates. Now they are in important areas in the northern border areas, and many of them are indispensable pillars and pillars in the border cities.

Such identity and contribution made the court make an exception for him, allowing him to take the position of Deputy Envoy of Privy Councilor as a border general, and his title of Duke Chang Ning, his identity is even more like the master of the third Duke. He is a first-rank military officer who is unique in the world and has not had many in the past century.

You should know that even the two prime ministers, with high rank and powerful positions, now have only reached the first rank. Perhaps only after they retire or even die, the court will posthumously award them the first rank title. Now, Dong Gongwang, under the age of 60, has reached the peak of military generals and even the entire minister, the first rank.

But even with such a high status and such high prestige, Dong Gongwang still did not have any arrogance. Instead, he devoted his life more and more. Whether he was training the border troops or leading troops to fight, he, the commander of the three armies, always appeared on the front line. As a result, almost all the soldiers and generals in Jinzhou had seen this legendary Dong Shuai, and he deeply engraved his voice and appearance in his heart.

So this time, when Dong Gongwang showed his face, all Cui Chengshuang's personal soldiers present recognized him immediately, and were frightened, and they couldn't even get the weapons in their hands. The two soldiers who pointed their swords at him almost knelt down and apologized.

Among these many people, Cui Chengshuang was the one who was most affected. After Dong Gongwang revealed his identity, he was stunned on the spot, staring at the boss standing tall at the door, full of surprise and disbelief, and his mouth was wide open, but he couldn't even say a word.

Yes, Cui Chengshuang had the ambition to take Dong Gong's replacement, so he took the risk of attacking Bazhou, reached an agreement with the enemy, and even curled the prince regardless of the consequences... However, he only dared to do these things secretly while carrying Dong Shuai. Now Dong Shuai suddenly appeared in front of him, and it seemed that he had already known his secret, which made Cui Chengshuang feel guilty and panic, and he didn't know how to deal with it at all.

Li Ling breathed a long sigh at this time, and his originally tense mood and body finally relaxed a little. His arrangement was indeed correct. If you ask Gongwang Dong, you can really turn this crisis completely.

Yes, this is the last insurance that Li Ling set up early in the morning. When he knew that Cui Chengshuang was determined to kill him, and he had no means of self-protection in the frontier army, he thought of such a safest countermeasure.

So, before the team set out from Desheng Town, Li Ling sent Yang Chen away, brought his own letters and some resignations to see Dong Gongwang, who was blocked from Yunzhou City, hoping to invite him to ensure his safety, and also solve a major problem in the border army.

Of course, as Li Ling's identity, he was not sure whether he could really invite Dong Gongwang, the commander of the army, at this critical moment. He just did his best to guide things in a direction that was more beneficial to him.

For this reason, he mentioned Fang Wenbi's affairs in his letter to Dong Gongwang - that was a close aide who had always been a right-hand man, but he turned out to betray him and wanted to kill Li Ling, which made the old general feel a little wrong. However, Li Ling had no intention of prosecution in this matter, but instead excused Dong Gongwang, saying that he was also deceived, and he believed that the old general was devoted to the country and had no other selfish intentions.

This letter alone is enough to gain Dong Gongwang's favor for him, but the way Li Ling really impressed him was dictated by Yang Chen: "Dong Shuai, my elders really have no choice but to ask Bei Zi to come for help. Moreover, this matter is not only related to Lord Li's life and death alone, but also closely related to our border troops in the Great Vietnamese border."

He is nearly 60 years old and has experienced too many storms in the army and in the court. Naturally, he will not be affected by these big words. At that time, Dong Gongwang just listened with a smile and put on an attitude of "You said it."

Yang Chen did not show any fear. He immediately followed Li Ling's instructions and continued: "Sir Dong should not think that being humble is an alarmist statement. Every word I say is true and comes from the heart.

"Why did Fang Wenbi want to kill Lord Li? It was because the prince wanted to eliminate Lord Li. The fundamental reason was that last year my family decided to rule for the people and found out some of the faults of King Yong, which led to him losing his job. This made the prince feel afraid, fearing that he would repeat the same mistakes by then, so it would be better to start first.

"And after Fang Wenbi failed to harm Lord Li, this matter fell on General Cui Chengshuang. I dare not hide it from Shuai Dong. General Cui had already surrendered to the prince's door a few years ago. This is not a blessing for my Dayue court, nor is it a blessing for my border army. What does the border soldiers want? They are dedicated to the country, regardless of personal gains and losses, and guard the border for the country, rather than seeking personal gains and losses for themselves. Just like Shuai Dong, you have been guarding the border for decades and can only maintain peace in the border between Dayue.

"But Cui Chengshuang took the wrong path early in the morning. It might have been a temporary difference before, but as his mind continued to change, the mistakes he did continued to increase. He attacked Bazhou in front, and colluded with foreign enemies with the thieves and wanted to kill our grain transport team in the back. Dong Shuai, such behavior is no different from traitor and collusion with the enemy."

Faced with his remarks, Dong Gongwang's expression finally changed and he frowned and said, "These are just one-sided words of yours. If there is no conclusive evidence, I can only think that you are slandering."

"Of course there is evidence, and the letter will be accompanied by confessions from the thieves and bandits. They have explained clearly that it was because of Cui Chengshuang's instructions that we were able to know our whereabouts well, and we would set up ambushes along the way, causing heavy damage to our grain transport team.

"In addition, as explained by one of the Guirong leaders, they would cooperate with Cui Chengshuang to attack our grain transport team. In addition to being interested in our food and fodder, they wanted to supplement themselves and escape from the border of Dayue, and also because they were also requested by people from their own tribes.

"Because before that, Cui Chengshuang had reached an agreement with some of the Guirong people in Bazhou City. The Guirong people helped him intercept Lord Li, while he released the defenders in the city to live a lifestyle so that they could leave the northern border with the wealth in the city and return to the north of the desert.

"Therefore, I am humble to say that Cui Chengshuang's actions were to collude with the enemy and treason. If he really succeeded, I am afraid that our northern border in Vietnam will become a thoroughfare for Guirong people to come and go freely. By then, the border troops will be in danger, the people will be in danger, and the country will be in danger!"

If the previous statement made Dong Gongwang look solemn, the old general was really nervous after hearing these words. Even though he still looked as normal and could not see joy or anger, the cold light in his eyes still made Yang Chen understand his thoughts while feeling the great pressure.

"Yang Chen, do you know what you are saying? If what you say is false, it is a serious crime that shakes our morale. It is not enough to cut you off!" Dong Gongwang suddenly said in a cold voice.

As soon as this momentum came up, Yang Chen was shocked all over, but he still withstood the pressure and looked back at the other party: "For such a big thing, I dare not deceive Dong Shuai!

"Maybe this confession alone is not enough to convince Dong Shuai Shuai that Cui Chengshuang colluded with foreign enemies, but the result of the Battle of Bazhou can be proved from the side. Dong Shuai Mingming, can Cui Chengshuang really capture Bazhou City in just a short time? Even a veteran general like you led more troops and even failed to capture Yunzhou for a month, but he captured Bazhou, which was not inferior to him at a very small price, which itself shows the problem.

"If someone in Bazhou City had not reached some agreement with him so that he could easily enter the city, Bei Zhi would not have thought of any other way to break the city quickly. Also, if there was any evidence to say, there were actually some, but it was not something we could get, but in Bazhou City and Cui Chengshuang's army.

"I believe that as long as Dong Shuai goes to the local area and asks the soldiers there, he will definitely find relevant clues from their mouths, from the situation of the city damage and other details. Dong Shuai, you can rest assured that such a general with ambition and no bottom line will take credit for it. Will you take it over in the future? If he really succeeds, my adults will be killed, the country will be in turmoil, and the border will be destroyed!

"I would like to ask Dong Shuai to go to Bazhou to check the truth and give my elders justice! If what he said is not true, I am willing to die to thank the three armies!"

In order to make Gongwang come forward, Yang Chen really gave up everything this time.

After this fierce statement, Dong Gongwang finally nodded. Compared with Li Ling's life and death, and the so-called replacement, what he attached more importance to was indeed the future of the Northern Frontier Army. He would never tolerate someone doing something to do with foreign enemies for his own selfish interests.
