Chapter 702 Dong Gongwang (2)

Seeing that Dong Gongwang really appeared, the soldiers around him were in an uproar, and then they knelt down in one go, shouting: "I'm not here to see Dong Shuai!"

The neat sound gathered together and soared into the sky, spreading around, and echoed again, just like thunder shaking and revolving in the city, which shocked the birds flying high and flew high and became in a panic.

Just based on this movement, Li Ling clearly felt how high the status of Dong Gongwang in the minds of the soldiers of Jinzhou was. In their eyes, this old general was a god-like existence.

Gongwang smiled and swept around, and after a moment, he said loudly: "I am in Yunzhou. I heard that you were waiting for the city of Bazhou in just a few months under General Cui. I was really happy in my heart, so I thought of coming to see you. Now, seeing the heroic figure of the soldiers in our army, I feel even more proud. This is what my Great Vietnamese border army should look like! As the saying goes, use me in every battle, and I will win!"

The last sentence immediately aroused the emotions of the soldiers around him, and soon someone cheered and repeated the sentence. First, it was hundreds, then thousands, and finally almost all the soldiers cheered these eight words: "Every battle is used, I will win! Use me in every battle, I will win!..."

It was not until Dong Gongwang raised his hands and pressed down that everyone stopped cheering and listened to the coach's lecture: "It is natural that General Cui is good at using troops in a short period of time. You wait for the soldiers and the three armies to use their lives and do not fear life and death. But what I want to say today is that in addition to these two points, sufficient logistical support is also essential."

After a pause, he saw a strange color flashing on the faces of many soldiers in front of him, obviously he was a little dissatisfied. If it weren't for his Dong Shuai's prestige, someone would have directly refuted it. He was not at all unhappy about this, and he still said at his own pace: "Perhaps some people have objections to this, and even think that there is a huge problem with our army's logistics this time, the supply of military rations is not timely enough, and the food is still mild.

"But is this true? Perhaps there are certain shortcomings in this, but I believe that more accusations are to be punished. At least this time, our army fought against Guirong, and the court's logistics was still in time. But why did your military rations be delayed this time? It was because they were attacked by the enemy halfway, which caused great damage and delayed the time."

The soldiers around were all a little surprised. What they knew was not like this. General Cui clearly said that the imperial officials were greedy and wanted to embezzle all the military rations that should have been sent to the front line. Why did Dong Shuai say this new statement? Who should I believe in?

After seeing that many people in front of me were stunned and wanted to ask questions but dared not speak, Dong Gongwang smiled again: "Of course, these are just the same words that the officials and I said this time. What is the truth? You still need to carefully investigate to understand.

"So to show justice, I decided to make a judgment in front of everyone. Only when the soldiers all agree with this fact can they determine whether it is a merit or a sin!"

As he said this, the teams on the side quickly separated, and then Li Ling and the others brought out a few tyrants. Under everyone's gaze, Li Ling took the lead in the stage without hesitation, stood by Dong Gongwang, and was also lucky in the Dantian, shouting loudly: "All the border soldiers, Li Ling, are the current general of the Northern Army's food and supplies transfer, because they are trusted by His Majesty and the court. This time, I will lead the team to Bazhou."

Facing him, the soldiers did not have the respect of Gong Dong as much as they looked respectful. For a moment, the discussion sounded from all sides, buzzing like countless insects and singing at the same time, almost covering up Li Ling's voice.

He did not feel panic or angry, and then said: "And on the way, we encountered a series of ambush attacks from Jinzhou Green Forest Bandits, Luo Tian Cult traitors, and the remaining cavalry of Guirong. It can be said that in every battle with them, we were fighting for life, just to protect the escort military rations and supplies. Especially when we were attacked by Guirong cavalry in Desheng Town, we had several adventures. Not only the soldiers, but also the officials, almost died under the swords of foreign enemies!"

Speaking of this, Li Ling suddenly made an action that surprised everyone. He suddenly took off his robe and showed his naked upper body in a flash, exposing more than ten fresh wounds that had not yet been scabbed to everyone.

This sudden action immediately caused a burst of noise from the soldiers around him. It's not that they had never seen such wounds. Such soldiers in the border army were commonplace. Not to mention the skin injuries, broken limbs and body, and life-threatening injuries at any time, there were many people here who had suffered. However, the high-ranking official in the court, who had just worn a robe that symbolized the fourth rank or above. He actually took off his clothes in public and exposed the wounds on his body, which was too beyond everyone's imagination.

As Li Ling took off his clothes, the Yang brothers, Chen Daoshou and others below, and ordinary soldiers followed suit, and they all quickly took off their armor, revealing the new and old wounds on their bodies. This behavior slowly infected the soldiers around them and finally calmed them down.

Li Ling then put on his clothes, looked around calmly, and continued: "I said this, not to show that I have made any contribution, nor to use this wound to gain the sympathy of all the soldiers. Since I have received this errand and dared to go to the northern border to transport food and grass, I have already made such preparations. Even if I die in the battlefield, I will be happy and will never regret it!

"But there is one thing I cannot tolerate and accept, that is, I am being framed and said that I am not doing my job well, and I also deducted the food and supplies of the soldiers on the front line. My honor and disgrace are small, but the honor of thousands of soldiers and civilians behind me, and the soldiers who died in battle under the enemy's sword is a huge matter! They have contributed everything for their mission, but now there are still people who arrange their faults after their death. This is not something I can accept.

"Dear soldiers, although I, Li Ling, are just a scholar who cannot carry a knife and cannot go to the battlefield, I also understand where the bottom line of being a soldier is! Although you soldiers fighting on the front line have your glory, our logistics generals are the same! I will never allow anyone to wrong them, I hope you understand!"

Speaking of this, Li Ling bowed his hands formally and bowed deeply to the four directions. He really put his attitude to a very low point, which made the soldiers a little flattered.

This is a high-ranking official of the court, who is someone who needs to look up to, and now he saluted himself... In an instant, the vanity of the soldiers and generals was greatly satisfied, and their mentality changed greatly. They became willing to believe Li Ling's statement, believing that they had indeed fulfilled their responsibilities. If there were any problems with military rations, they were forced by the momentum.

Cui Chengshuang stood below and could clearly feel the spread of the atmosphere, which made him even more annoyed, but he was a little unable to deal with it. Originally, when Dong Gongwang appeared and led the situation to another direction, everything was no longer under his control. In this way, he couldn't do it this time to get rid of Li Ling for the prince, so he could only leave it for the next time.

When he was thinking, Li Ling stood up and continued, "Of course, just a few words from me are not enough to make everyone believe that everything we encountered along the way is real. As General Cui said, in the northern border and in our Jinzhou, the Green Forest forces have never dared to offend the official army, and the remnants of Guirong were killed so much that they dared not emerge. So without conclusive evidence and evidence, everything I would just talk nonsense.

"Fortunately, we have taken a lot of prisoners in this period, and everyone can believe their words."

Speaking of this, Li Ling nodded, and his subordinates decisively pushed the more than ten guys tied up on the stage. Li Ling stared at them and shouted: "Who are you? Let's just tell me honestly in front of all the soldiers!"

In fact, they didn't need to say anything. Just based on the appearance of these people, the soldiers who were close to each other had already seen through their identities. Amid the anger of the soldiers, the prisoners who had suffered a lot could no longer hide them, so they decisively explained their identities, which naturally caused even more angrily among the soldiers. If there were no generals around them watching, they would have rushed forward and dismembered these guys to vent their hatred.

Seeing the excitement of the crowd, Li Ling did not dare to let the captives stay here for too long. Instead, he quickly seized the opportunity and brought the topic to the direction he hoped: "Brothers of the border, their identities are confirmed, but I think everyone should be the same as I did at this time. He is full of doubts about why they dared to do this and find the right route for my team to transport grain?"

Li Ling's guidance really made the generals of the army curious and puzzled. He was so impatient that they shouted: "Yes, how did you master the route of transporting grain, and why did you dare to intercept the grain escort team halfway? Who gave you the courage and information?"

The shouts of shouting almost swallowed up several prisoners, which made them look particularly panicked, and their eyes flashed, until Li Ling yelled again on the upper stage: "At this point, aren't you going to take the actual trick?"
