    Chapter 472: How could I not have thought of it?

    Mou Liangbi forced himself to calm down, and took several deep breaths in succession before he managed to ease the suffocation in his chest and abdomen.  This was a trap from the beginning, and I had fallen headlong into it.  Now even his own soldiers looked at him with confusion. No one was willing to draw a knife to a group of people wearing flying fish robes and holding imperial edicts in their hands.  Of course, they didn't know that Feiyupao had lost its former power and was replaced by Jinyi School.

    Even Mou Liangbi didn¡¯t notice this detail. He didn¡¯t even notice that the entourage brought by the imperial envoy last time was dressed completely differently from these flying fish robes.  The people at Ouchi's guard station were wearing red brocade clothes with flying fish embroidery on their chests.  The Jinyi school wears royal blue brocade clothes, and the embroidery on the chest is an eagle.

    Qianhu, holding the imperial edict in the flying fish robe, looked at Mou Liangbi with squinted eyes, and the sneer on his face made people feel chilly.  Mou Liangbi knew that this meeting must not mess up the situation, and must convince the soldiers as soon as possible that these people were fake.

    Just as he was thinking about it, the Qianhu sneered and asked: "Master Mou, you said someone came to deliver the decree a few days ago, but you can't provide any evidence. We are not idiots, so we all understand that the so-called His Majesty's oral edict is simply a sentence.  Lie. You actually want to kill the imperial envoy now. This is a serious crime against the Nine Clan. You have to think about it yourself!"

    "Everyone, listen!"

    Mou Liangbi quickly walked up to the high platform and said loudly: "Just a few days ago, the imperial envoy sent by His Majesty gave me an oral message to commend those of us who have made great contributions to the Sui Dynasty. I originally planned to call you together tomorrow.  Announced that His Majesty has given us a new name, called the Black Flag Killing Wolf Army. It will not be controlled by the Ministry of War until the end of the Northwest War. I am the commander of the Black Flag Killing Wolf Army. If you don¡¯t believe it, you can ask a few people who were present at the time.  General! These people are completely fake, and the imperial edict in their hands is also fake! Think about it, your Majesty doesn't even know that General Fang is here, how could he send the edict to General Fang here? "

    As soon as these words were spoken, the people below immediately became noisy.  People talked a lot, and most of them felt that Mouliangbi was right.

    Qianhu from Feiyupao snorted coldly: "You said His Majesty didn't know that General Fang was here? Then you are totally wrong. General Fang has His Majesty's secret decree on him, and with the people in Feiyupao around him, all his actions are  By secretly reporting to Your Majesty at any time, General Fang had just passed Mangdang Mountain and had already sent someone to deliver the news to the Western Army!  Regarding the camp! Lord Mou, do you know how your Majesty¡¯s decree mentions you?¡±

    "impossible!"

    Mou Liangbi said anxiously: "You are lying! It has only been more than two months since the West Camp of the rebels in Wushan, Dapohou. Even if General Fang handed over the information to His Majesty, he still had to pass through the place where the rebels were heavily stationed.  It takes a month and a half to go to the Western Expedition Army, and it¡¯s impossible to go back and forth based on time!¡±

    Feiyupao Qianhu said: "You usurp General Fang's great achievements, but you just want to take the command of this team. How did the rebels' west camp be defeated, do you still need me to explain clearly!"

    "Absolutely impossible!"

    Mouliangbi said: "I have a clear conscience!"

    Qianhu asked: "Then let me ask you, why did you not write to His Majesty after such a great victory?"

    "Because if we withdraw our troops immediately after a great victory, it will be too late!"

    "You can't make it in time, why can General Fang make it in time?!"

    "impossible!"

    Mou Liangbi said angrily: "You thieves dare to disturb the morale of our army again, don't blame our military law for being ruthless!"

    "let me tell you!"

    Feiyupao Qianhu also jumped up to the high platform and said loudly: "The reason why you didn't go to the memorial to ask for credit for the army is because you have a guilty conscience! That great victory was not planned by you at all. It was all thought up by General Fang alone from beginning to end.  Take action now! General Fang had already thought of a plan ten days before he launched his troops against the Western Camp, and only you knew about it. But you actually did it all in order to seize General Fang's military glory.  He kept it all secret and kept it for himself! But didn¡¯t you think that ten days before the victory, General Fang had already written this strategy in a memorial and reported it to His Majesty!¡±

    "You're talking nonsense!"

    Mou Liangbi said angrily: "Ten days ago? Ten days before the great victory, Fang Jie had not reached Hou Wu Mountain! When he arrived at Hou Wu Mountain, he killed Li Xiaozong first, and then discussed with me how to defeat the enemy. On the night before the great victory,  , it wasn¡¯t ten days ago at all! Everyone knows when Fang Jie arrived, there are lots of loopholes in your words!¡±

    He glared at the flying fish robe Qianhu, but saw that man looking at him with a half-smile.

    "Since it is General Fang,??I proposed it to you for discussion on the eve of the great victory. Why didn't you mention a word about the opponent's general's strategy to defeat the enemy after the great victory?  "

    Feiyupao Qianhu took a step forward, looked directly into Mou Liangbi's eyes and asked coldly.

    Mou Liangbi suddenly understood, and his face instantly turned pale.

    "Youyou led me to say this!"

    He pointed at Qianhu and said angrily.

    Feiyu Pao Qianhu sneered: "I was right to lure you, I just brought out the truth that you didn't dare to tell! Don't forget what I do. Feiyu Pao has never investigated a case in which the truth cannot be revealed.  Mou Liangbi, you are greedy for military glory, and now you want to kill people and silence them. You want to invite General Fang to the mountain village for a gathering today, but you have actually prepared poisonous wine, right? Because you know that His Majesty¡¯s intention is to let General Fang take charge of military affairs, so you  I became murderous immediately!¡±

    Before Mou Liangbi could speak, Feiyu Pao Qianhu said loudly: "You wanted to kill General Fang, but you were afraid that General Cui Zhongzhen, who was close to General Fang, would leak your dirty deeds, so you imprisoned General Cui and announced to the outside world  He is seriously ill and cannot get out of bed, how can you deny this?"

    As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd below suddenly let out an exclamation of surprise.

    Feiyupao Qianhu pointed his finger into the distance: "General Cui has been rescued by my people. Do you dare to confront him? Mouliangbi, your heart is so dark. In order to gain power and military honors, you will do whatever you need to do.  You want to kill your comrades! As a citizen of the Sui Dynasty, how can you face these brothers standing in front of you!"

    "I¡­¡­"

    Mouliangbi opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.  For a moment, he felt that all his strength had been drained away, and his legs were a little unsteady.

    The Qianhu came forward and sneered: "I just said that no one can hide the truth from anyone Feiyu Pao wants to investigate!"

    "who are you!"

    Mou Liangbi asked with a trembling voice.

    The man in Qianhu robe smiled and lowered his voice and said, "I am Chen Xiaoru, a member of the Imperial Guard's Department. Master Mou has seen me before, but unfortunately, he will not pay attention to a little person like me.  I just put a beard on my face. If you recognize me, you only need to point out that I am General Fang's person. What will happen now? I was still uneasy when General Fang gave me this job. Now it seems,  Compared with General Fang, you are far behind"

    "It's a pity that only Mouliangbi himself can hear his words.

    Mou Liangbi¡¯s eyes changed and he was about to shout.  Before he could say anything, Chen Xiaoru raised the edict high above his head: "Come here, catch this rebellious minister and traitor for me!"

    The Feiyupao people around him swarmed up and before anyone could react, they tied up Mouliangbi, gagged him, and knelt down on the ground.

    "Send someone to ask General Fang to take charge of military affairs!"

    Chen Xiaoru said loudly, with pride in his eyes.

    This jobis done!

    In the cave where Cui Zhongzhen was imprisoned, the prisoner was changed to Mou Liangbi.  His official uniform had been stripped off, and he was huddled in a corner wearing only a single piece of clothing on a cold day, shivering from the cold.  Outside the cave, twenty flying fish robes stood with swords in their hands, and no one was allowed to approach.

    Mou Liangbi¡¯s lips turned purple from the cold. He raised his head and glanced outside the cave, only to see that the originally clear sky suddenly became gloomy, and it looked like it was going to snow.

    He stared at the sky blankly, his expression dull.

    When Fang Jie walked out of the tent, he also looked up at the gray sky. He turned back and said to the Sui army general who followed him: "You go back and arrange your military affairs. I'll go see Master Mou."

    These Sui generals were stunned for a moment, but they didn't expect that Fang Jie still respected Mou Liangbi.

    "When I was at the Chang'an Martial Arts Academy, Mr. Mou once spoke for me in front of His Majesty. This is a favor. Although he wants to kill me, he can't forget the good deeds in the past. He just wants to make meritorious deeds too much. He can do it in one step.  It's hard to go back if you make a mistake. In fact, I never thought about competing with him for military power. If a person has too much doubt in his heart, he will take his fantasy as reality and get into trouble.  It¡¯s not about military power, I won¡¯t tell anyone about it. I went to Fan Gu just to avoid him. It¡¯s a pity He made mistakes again and again, and he even dared to kill the angels of the court. "

    Fang Jie sighed: "My people have already intercepted the people he sent to kill the imperial envoy on the way back from Houwu Mountain. Unfortunately, they arrived too late. The imperial envoy was already ambushed and shot to death by random arrows. But the imperial edict is still there.  Mou Liangbi specially ordered it to be brought back to him. You go back and tell the other generals that I will put the imperial edict in the big tent. If anyone wants to see it, just come here and see it. I will never care. "

      "The general is magnanimous!"

    Several Sui generals clasped their fists and bowed their heads, not daring to raise any objections.  Now that the imperial edict has been recovered, they have seen it just now. His Majesty's decree is indeed that Feng Fang will be promoted from the fourth grade Xiongwei Lang General to the first grade county son to command the Black Flag Killing Wolf Army.  The imperial brush and inscriptions, stamped with the big seal, are unmistakable.

    "Go ahead"

    Fang Jie looked at the sky and said softly: "Thanks to His Majesty's grace, we should work harder in the future. In addition, the rewards mentioned in the previous decree are also true. There are two decrees from Your Majesty.  , otherwise I would not have guessed that Master Mou had murderous intentions towards me. I had no idea about the imperial envoy who came to the camp before. This second order was sent by the people from the Ouchi Guards Office overnight.  "

    "After the humble rank, only generals will follow suit!"

    All the generals bowed their heads.

    Fang Jie nodded and said, "Let's all go back and prepare to resume training tomorrow."

    "I resign from my humble position!"

    The generals clasped their fists and retreated, no one dared to question anything.

    Fang Jie looked back at those people, shook his head and walked slowly to higher ground.  When he walked outside the cave, he stopped and looked for a while. When he saw Mou Liangbi curled up in the corner, staring blankly outside, he couldn't help but shake his head.

    "Are you here to ridicule me?"

    Seeing Fang Jie come in, Mou Liangbi looked at him and asked coldly.

    "No"

    Fang Jie sat down opposite him: "I'm not even interested in ridiculing you. I just came to see when you would commit suicide out of fear of crime. I didn't let anyone tie your hands and feet. There are plenty of rocks in the cave."

    Mouliangbi was silent, his face as white as paper.

    "Is the imperial edict really true?"

    After a while, he suddenly raised his head and asked.

    Fang Jie smiled: "The imperial edict is true, but it was the edict given to me by His Majesty when I went to Yongzhou before. I brought three copies with me at that time, one to commend Luo Yao, and one to Luo Yao's only son.  The other copy is the errand assigned to me by His Majesty. I naturally have to carry it with me. The imperial edict is the status symbol of the imperial envoy. You are also a smart person, how could you not think of it? "

    "yes¡­¡­"

    Mou Liangbi sighed: "Why didn't I think of it?"
