Liangshan then attacked the camp.
Therefore, he could only drive all his soldiers into battle formation.
Li Congji was worried that after he killed someone...
It will cause a brawl.
He hesitated only slightly.
The other soldiers saw that Li Congji dared not punish the soldiers who were shouting.
They immediately joined in the shouting.
Li Congji listened to the angry shouts all around him,
I also felt guilty deep down.
He quickly spurred his horse and rode to the front of the battle.
Yang Wen, the military governor of Lingling in Jiangxia, looked at the soldiers who were about to riot.
He said to Li Congji,
"General Li, what should we do now?"
Li Congji said helplessly.
"The only solution is to ask Lord Cai to come out,"
"Otherwise, there would be no need for the Liangshan bandits to attack,"
"I'm afraid they're about to riot."
Yang Wen cupped his hands and said, "Lord Cai has entrusted you with this decision."
"We all listen to you."
Li Congji turned to the crowd and shouted, "I'll go invite Lord Cai!"
"Don't panic."
The soldiers in front heard Li Congji's shout,
That's when it stopped.
However, the soldiers behind were still shouting.
Li Congji shouted for a while longer.
The Song army then stopped shouting.
However, many people were whispering among themselves.
From the crowd, another person shouted,
"If he doesn't come out within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, we'll escape."
Li Congji didn't dare to say anything more.
They could only ride their horses towards the central command tent.
Zhao Yuan, however, saw the Song army causing a great disturbance.
He then waved his hand to stop the Liang soldiers.
Everyone saw that Zhao Yuan only let out a loud shout.
This threw the Song army into chaos.
I also admire them greatly.
Li Kui saw the Song soldiers arguing in the camp.
"Your Majesty, let me charge in!"
Lu Junyi also said, "The Song army is in disarray, let's charge in now!"
"Perhaps it can break them down."
Luan Tingyu, standing to the side, said...
"Perhaps that will stop them from causing trouble,"
"They might fight us to the death."
Lin Chong frowned and asked, "How did Your Majesty know that Cai You had escaped?"
Zhao Yuan shook his head and laughed, "Just a guess. If no one gave the order,"
"The soldiers in the rear camp of the Song army will not desert in an entire formation,"
"Even ordinary military generals wouldn't dare to lead their troops to desert in the face of battle,"
"I'm afraid only that scoundrel Cai You would dare to do such a thing."
Lin Chong said, "If that's the case, what if Cai You hadn't escaped?"
"Once he comes out, the Song army will stop their riots,"
"Now is the best time to attack."
Luan Tingyu replied, "But what if Cai You runs away?"
"Once the Song army receives this news, they will likely collapse immediately,"
"We can perhaps save ourselves some effort."
While talking,
The shouts of "Cai You, come out!" from the camp had stopped.
Chapter 1659 Should We Not Vote?
Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "It seems there are some quick-witted generals in the camp."
"But I'm afraid they have a cowardly commander,"
"We'll wait and see."
.....
Li Congji rode swiftly to the central command tent.
From afar, they saw that Cai You's personal attendants, who had been guarding the main tent that morning, were nowhere to be seen.
Then I sensed something was wrong.
Arriving at the front of the main tent,
Li Congji leaped off his horse.
Just as he was about to loudly request an audience,
Then I smelled a bloody odor.
"Oh no, could it be that a thief is trying to assassinate us?"
Despite having fought for many years, Li Congji was very sensitive to the smell of blood.
He immediately drew his waist knife.
Carefully lift the tent fabric,
All that could be seen was Cai You's beautiful concubine lying in a pool of blood.
Li Congji, however, was cautious.
Fearing that thieves might be hiding inside,
Rushing in would risk being assassinated.
He then stood outside the tent and called out, "My lord."
The voice just fell,
Then, a faint voice was heard from the beautiful woman lying in a pool of blood: "Save...me."
Li Congji saw that Meiji was still alive.
He hurriedly asked, "Where is the master?"
"They...ran...to save them..."
He hadn't finished speaking.
Then he lowered his head.
There was no sound.
"Asshole."
Li Congji heard that Cai You had run away.
He couldn't help but curse angrily.
Sheathed his sword and entered the main tent.
Seeing the beautiful girl's eyes wide open,
The light in his eyes had faded.
Li Congji checked her breathing.
He casually wiped his hand on Meiji's face.
Tell her to close her eyes.
He turned and left the large tent.
Li Congji also hesitated.
Cai You is handing over command of the army to him today.
He had been somewhat pleased before,
The same four military governors,
He, however, became the commander.
But now, this temporary commanding role has become a death sentence.
Once the news of Cai You's escape spread...
The army will collapse instantly.
Given Cai You's favor with the emperor,
In addition, there is the lingering influence of the old scoundrel Cai Jing.
Cai You should not be severely punished.
The blame for the defeat will likely fall on him, the temporary commander.
The blame for the defeat of the 100,000-strong army
I'm afraid it's not just him who will be beheaded.
Even his entire family is probably doomed.
"Give it a try; if you can get through, then stick it out."
"Otherwise, we'll surrender to the Great Liang,"
"It's better than going back to be a scapegoat for Cai You's slaying of the traitors."
Li Congji made up his mind
He mounted his horse and rode to the camp gate.
Most of the Song soldiers' attention was focused on their rear.
Seeing that Li Congji returned alone.
Someone in the army shouted, "Where is Cai You?"
Li Congji shook his head and said, "The master's back injury has flared up."
