Chapter 101 Ask the general to order troops (asking for monthly votes)
With Li Yan's deputy general Hu Ye suddenly taking action, the situation in the military tent changed instantly.
Except for a few loyal guards of Li Yan who fought to the death, the rest of the soldiers retreated aside. As for Li Yan's personal guards, they didn't cause much trouble and were directly dealt with by Shu Ji.
A decapitation operation that Ma Su had expected to be fatal was solved so easily in the blink of an eye.
"Last General Hu Ye, I have met General Fenwei." After dealing with Li Yan's personal guards and taking control of the Chinese army camp, Hu Ye immediately saluted Ma Su. He also took out a bamboo slip and gave it to Ma Su for review.
"This is a secret order from the Prime Minister to a certain person. He has been wearing it closely so that no one can know about it."
"The Prime Minister has ordered that if Li Yan is found to be plotting rebellion, he can be killed first and then reported."
Taking the bamboo slip from Hu Ye, Ma Su looked at it several times and nodded.
It is indeed the Prime Minister's handwriting. This thing cannot be faked.
In other words, had the Prime Minister really made all the preparations before Li Yandao arrived at Longyou?
It is even possible that the prime minister was prepared when Li Yan was in Jiangzhou. After all, even Chen Zhen could see that Li Yan had scales on his abdomen. How could the always cautious prime minister give Li Yan a chance to make a coup...
It seems that I am overthinking it.
"General Fenwei came to kill Li Yan this time. Is there any evidence?" After proving that he was indeed following the prime minister's secret order, Hu Ye turned to ask Ma Su for evidence.
"Li Yan's secret possession of black armor and grain are all in Ji County. You can tell when you return to Longyou. Moreover, I also have Li Yan's confidants in custody, which can confirm that he wants a coup." Ma Su answered.
Hu Ye nodded, and then saluted Ma Su again.
"This time, thanks to General Fenwei, he noticed that he had second thoughts and took the risk to kill the rebel Li Yan. If it weren't for General Fenwei, I would have never noticed Li Yan's actions."
He is the deputy general who has followed Li Yan to Jiangzhou for several years, and has been ordered to watch over Li Yan. If Li Yan was just doing something to fight for power, he wouldn't have to worry about it at all.
But if he wants to rebel or rebel, he is to be executed immediately.
"By the way, how did General Hu confirm that what I said was the truth?" Ma Di was a little curious. His purpose was to kill Li Yan first and then provide evidence to prove it.
In other words, he didn't provide any evidence at the beginning. How did Hu Ye confirm that this was true.
"Li Yan is arrogant and willful by nature. If it was just a slander, he wouldn't even explain and directly ordered the soldiers to surround and kill the general." Hu Ye replied, he had been with Li Yan for so long, and he still knew Li Yan's character very well. .
"When he vetoed it, it meant that he had panicked, which proved that the general was not slandering."
"What's more, the general is a good friend of the prime minister. Everyone has heard about his deeds in Longyou during this period. The general is an upright person and will definitely not do anything to slander others."
Ma Su's reputation has greatly increased since the Battle of Jieting. Nowadays, the land is equalized, Longxi is settled, and the troops are sent out of Longyou, which is powerful among the Qiang and Hu.
The whole Longyou knew that General Fenwei was an upright and strong man. It is precisely because of this that Hu Ye chose to believe that Ma Su was not a slanderer.
"It seems that sometimes a good reputation is quite useful..." Ma Su thought about this and shook his head slightly.
"Now is not the time to talk about this. General Fenwei has a more important matter to deal with now." Hu Ye did not chat, but told Ma Su directly.
"The general has indeed killed Li Yan now..."
"It's not me, it's you..."
"The general noticed that Li Yan had the intention to rebel against the Han Dynasty, so he rushed to the central army with the prime minister's secret order and killed him!" As he said, Hu Ye pointed to the secret order still in Ma Su's hand and said matter-of-factly.
"Now that the leader of the thieves has been killed, the war is imminent. General Fenwei must gather military power as soon as possible and recruit various generals to discuss matters and defeat the enemy."
"Now, only generals who follow the Prime Minister's secret orders have this ability and prestige."
"So, general, please order your troops!"
Hu Ye's words instantly awakened Ma Su. Yes, war is imminent now.
At first, Ma Su had no intention of living. His goal was to trade with Li Yan to prevent him from defecting with his troops. Then a message was sent to Wang Ping and others, asking them to return to Longdao and defend it.
But now that Li Yan is dead and he is alive, the situation has become less corrupt. In this way, there is no need for them to act according to the worst plan.
At least, he couldn't return home immediately, so he had to stay and shoulder the task of commanding the troops to fight the war.
Hu Ye also understood this, so for the sake of national affairs, he directly handed over the prime minister's secret order to Ma Su and asked him to use it as a basis to consolidate military power.
The dignified troops marched out of Longyou, and General Fenwei, who was so powerful among the Qiang and Hu, that even if he couldn't defeat the Wei army, he could still keep his troops undefeated.
As for whether he disobeyed military orders and whether he would be questioned afterwards, Hu Ye didn't care.
They are all generals of the Han Dynasty, who would be afraid of death?
"What General Hu said is true. I must immediately gather troops and prepare for battle!" Ma Su nodded and made a decision in just a moment.
If you want to do something in your position, you don't have time to hesitate or think about anything now.
"Immediately send a message to Wang Ping, Zhang Xiu, Deng Tong, Bai Shou and other generals to come to discuss the matter! The traitor Li Yan is dead, and we need to prepare to fight the Wei army!"

…………
The Shuhan generals who were stationed in various places and preparing to fight against the Wei army received news like thunderbolt.
Li Yan, the governor of Yongzhou, secretly hid Xuanjia grain and fodder and collaborated with the enemy to treason. General Fenwei Ma Su led the prime minister to secretly order Qingqi to enter the central army, killed him and took charge of Chencang's military affairs.
This matter was no ordinary explosion, and many generals were extremely confused. You must know that the confrontation between Ma Di and Li Yan was already very intense a few days ago. No wonder most people think too much about it.
However, no matter how much I thought about it, everyone came to the military tent together to meet Ma Di.
More than a dozen generals at all levels gathered in the military tent, and at first sight they saw Li Yan's dead head hanging up. Ma Di was sitting on the main seat, with a bloody sword on the chopping board.
"I've seen General Fenwei!" All the generals saluted Ma Su and took their seats, with different expressions.
To be honest, according to Ma Su's military position, even if Li Yan died, it would not be his turn. Several of Li Yan's trusted generals were dissatisfied with this, and even Shu Ji could see their fierce eyes.
"Everyone, Li Yan conspired to rebel and defect to the Wei Dynasty. Now I have executed him on the order of the prime minister." Ma Di waved the bamboo slips in his hand and motioned to Shu Ji to bring up the account books as evidence.
They all saw clearly that the evidence was conclusive and Li Yan was not framed and killed by me.
"Now that we are facing a powerful enemy, I have no choice but to be ordered to act as military agent, which is to recruit everyone to discuss how to retreat from the enemy."
"In the face of a formidable enemy, General Fenwei beheads his generals and seizes power. I'm afraid this is not in compliance with the regulations!"
Before Ma Su finished speaking, a general stood up and said to Ma Su angrily.
"What is General Fenwei's plan? Is he going to seize power forcefully?"
Ma Di narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the general who jumped out.
His name was Li Cheng, a native of Nanyang, a clansman of Li Yan and his trusted general.
