Cui Shuangcheng felt in a crisis, but he didn't know where his flaws were exposed. But in this situation, he knew that he could not show panic, which would only make more people doubt him, so he decisively snorted: "It's ridiculous. I want to hear what other words you can use to wrong me!"

Li Ling smiled firmly, took another step forward, and said loudly: "Sirs, did you not feel that this battle was too smooth when you attacked Bazhou City? This is Bazhou, under the Guirong, whose combat power is not weaker than that of our Great Vietnam Frontier Army, how could it be defeated by you in just a short time? Yunzhou City has been attacking for three or four months under the leadership of Dong Shuai, but it is still firmly in their control! Do you think that your combat power is stronger than that of Dong Shuai's troops, or do you think that General Cui is above Dong Shuai's troops in terms of military use?"

As soon as this statement was made, it immediately caused a noise below. Some people expressed their doubts, while others shouted, saying that Li Ling was slandering his own general. Cui Chengshuang even sneered: "Li Ling, is this what you call evidence? It's simply a big ridiculous thing in the world!

"You are a weak scholar who can't even lift a sword. How can you understand what it means to use troops to attack the city? The attacker is the best and the attack plan is the best. Only when you are most helpless will you attack hard and fiercely. But even so, whether you can capture a strong city is sometimes not determined by the ability of the main general, and it is also closely related to the strength of the generals in the city guarding the city!

"Dong Shuai was blocked by Yunzhou, which does not mean that he was not powerful enough. It was just because the Guirong defender tried his best to defend the city, and Dong Shuai was worried about casualties of his soldiers, so he slowly took the opportunity. But my attack on Bazhou was different. One was that the enemy was not strong in defending the city, and the other was that our three armies used their lives, so they took this city in a short time.

"But now you are so good. In order to slander me, you actually want to deny everyone's credit. It's really a pity and should be punished severely. Grandmaster, I said that this person has ulterior motives and is determined to harm me. Now he has completely exposed the fox's tail, so he also asked Grandmaster to make the decision for the last general!"

His words were refuting Li Ling on the surface and asking Dong Gongwang for help, but in fact they were inciting the emotions of their subordinates, trying to use them to suppress Li Ling. Sure enough, the effect of this statement immediately appeared. Many soldiers were already shouting and scolding, shouting that Li Ling was insulting himself and wanted to take him down and deal with him. Someone was about to run up to take action.

Fortunately, Gong Wang was still standing by. Seeing this, he immediately stepped forward and said in a solemn voice: "Sir, please be careful not to be impatient. Since I am here, I should find out the truth and return it to justice." Then he looked at Li Ling decisively, "Li Ling, what else do you have to say?"

"Of course there is!" Seeing that the crowd of feelings finally stabilized, Li Ling quickly spoke, "Yes, I am just a scholar, I don't know how to use troops, and I have never led troops to attack any city. However, I understand human nature and know that anyone, whether it is the Great Yue army and civilian or the Guirong in the north, will do their best to fight to the death once it reaches the point of life and death.

"Maybe the Guirong people who retreated to Bazhou are not as good as those of Yunzhou's tribe, but their intention to survive should not be much worse. With the same force, they will not be unable to defend for even two months.

"Of course, this is not the key to my doubts about the mystery of this matter. The biggest problem is that you haven't found that the damage to this city is much lighter than you thought?"

These words made everyone stunned, and Cui Chengshuang's body suddenly shook. Finally, he realized that he had made an extremely serious mistake, which made his face turn pale.

Even Dong Gongwang's expression changed because even a border general like him had neglected this. In fact, in fact, this is due to the natural mental habits. Border generals like them attach great importance to these border cities. After experiencing the city being destroyed by the enemy, the first thing they want to do in the interior is to repair and make up for it. If the city is not damaged much, it will only be full of gratitude and too late to be happy, let alone have any suspicion.

But Li Ling is different. As a person who has been dealing with numbers for two lives, he attaches great importance to these details. Since entering the city, these details have been infinitely magnified by him and taken into consideration.

Now, he even showed his performance on the spot, pointing at the shops that had opened the doors on the left and right and said, "Everyone, did you not realize that these robbed shops are very strange after entering the city? The damage here is rare. Is this like a thing that the Gui Rong people who have always burned, killed, and plundered?

"There are also the city walls and gates in front of them, and they are still neat, only some damage left outside. Does this look like a city that appeared after fighting to the death? Besides, if they really guarded until they were at the end of their lives and used all their weapons, would they not use the stone wood of the large residential shop near the city wall? But now you can see that everything there is still standing intact. It is not an exaggeration to say that this city was not attacked.

"But as you said before, Bazhou was attacked by our army day and night. Is this consistent with common sense? This is no longer a problem with the enemy's combat power. They didn't think of fighting with you at all, or they didn't expect you to suddenly come to the front."

Speaking of this, Li Ling suddenly looked solemn and stared at Cui Chengshuang: "General Cui, what else do you have to explain this? Finally, in addition to the suspicion in front of everyone, I believe that there are actually people in our Bazhou City that can prove that my suspicion is not nonsense, but many ghost Rong prisoners.

"Just bring some of them out and ask them, you will know how they lost and lost. They must not be defeated by force and defeated head-on, but betrayed by some people."

After some inference, it was reasonable and immediately stunned everyone on the scene. Those who knew a little about the inside story were even more upset and dared not speak. As for ordinary soldiers who didn't know the matter, they looked at their general with suspicion, and didn't know what to react for a while.

As border generals, they naturally hope to win and make a contribution at the smallest price in battle. However, they did not want their contribution to come because of some conspiracies. If it was because General Cui colluded with foreign enemies and then could easily break the city, then there would be no glory at all, which was clearly the greatest shame.

Li Ling's eyes quickly swept across the soldiers in front of him, and finally fell on Cui Chengshuang: "General Cui, now, you just say in front of these many soldiers, have you colluded with foreign enemies? Not only did you let some people go privately, but you also wanted to use them to attack me?

"I think that as long as you look carefully, there will be many relevant evidences to find out. For example, the granary in the city of the treasury must have been robbed by the Guirong people long ago. If they were really fleeing in a panic by the broken city, these property would not have been taken away by them calmly, at least part of it would have to be left behind..."

"General..." The soldiers were really panicked now, because they had checked the warehouse and other things when they entered the city, and they were indeed completely emptied. They didn't realize anything at that time, but now they tasted it.

Cui Chengshuang, who was trembling violently, had already bit his teeth and looked back at Li Ling. After a moment, he said awkwardly: "You are trying to add to the crime, why not worry about it..." Well, it wasn't long before, and he had to do what Li Ling said before again, and the retribution came too quickly.

Li Ling stared at him without any permission: "Yes or no, you understand the most. Even if you deny it at this time, with Dong Shuai's wisdom, I think you can find out the truth quickly. There are human and physical evidence here, so why should you persist?"

"Li Ling - I really regret that I killed you without a single knife when I saw you..." After Cui Chengshuang gritted his teeth, everyone understood that he had admitted his crime in disguise.

This made the soldiers in a daze, and many people could not accept this fact, and the scene fell into a strange silence again. However, Gongwang, although his face was full of surprise and disappointment, still maintained the calmness he should have. After a deep look at the subordinate, he decisively ordered: "Come on, take Cui Chengshuang down and take him down and take him into custody. After this official reported to the court, he would deal with it!"

The old general was filled with majestic orders, and finally many people were able to recover. Although it was a little awkward, several soldiers came forward and said, "Off" and cut Cui Chengshuang's hand cream and tied up the ropes."

It was not until he was tied up like this that Cui Chengshuang recovered from his loss. He stared at Li Ling resentfully, looked at Dong Gongwang again, and suddenly giggled: "Li Ling... Do you think this is a victory? No, this is just a moment. You have a grudge with the prince. Even if you can avoid my attack, you will soon face a new threat, and some people will take your life...

"If the king wants his minister to die, how can you, a minister, not die? Haha, haha..." He seemed to have completely let go, and suddenly burst into laughter, as if he had foreseeed Li Ling's fate.

Li Ling was also stunned. He really didn't expect that the other party would yell out these hidden information so unscrupulously. Sure enough, not only him, but also the soldiers around him, including Dong Gongwang beside him, were also shocked by these words and could not come back to his senses for a long time.

This matter actually concerns the prince. It was the prince who wanted to kill Li Ling, so he borrowed General Cui from his hand? This idea made everyone feel a huge impact. Even Dong Gongwang began to examine his previous decisions and even regretted coming here to wade into the muddy waters.
