Chapter 547 A capable person takes action and commits a treacherous plot!
Xiahou Yan summoned all the generals immediately after Yang Yuntao left.
"Greetings, General Xiahou!" Everyone saluted in unison.
Xiahou Yan looked indifferent and said in a deep voice: "Commen, you were all brought up by my father, so I will not hide some things from you.
The victory in Yunzhou was won by the King of Chu, but my father was accused of colluding with foreign enemies and plotting to murder the prince, and was beheaded in public by the King of Chu."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the generals were furious.
"What? The general is colluding with foreign enemies? This is impossible. I'm the first one who doesn't believe it!"
"Why did the King of Chu behead the general in Yunzhou instead of bringing him back to Kyoto for questioning?"
"Humph, the King of Chu is clearly guilty of a crime. These are just accusations he framed the general with. They are not credible!"
"He didn't dare to let the general return to the court because he was worried that he would be discovered."
"General, we can't just sit there and watch the general get killed. Tell me, what should we do?"
Everyone was talking and demanding revenge for the general.
Xiahou Yan was very satisfied with the attitude of the crowd and immediately waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
"My dear generals, my father has been killed. I am extremely sad. Now I am at a loss and don't know what to do!"
After saying that, Xiahou Yan turned to look at an old man in his fifties and said pleadingly:
"Listen, Mr. Mei, and ask me for advice!"
Su Tingmei was a scholar who had been saved by the general before. In order to repay the general, he had been serving him in the army.
Although he had no official position, he was highly valued by the Xiahou family.
This time when Xiahou Ren went to the front line to fight, he deliberately left this person beside Xiahou Yan to assist him.
Although this man is over 50 years old, he has a head full of white hair and a weathered face, and his eyes flash with wisdom from time to time.
Seeing Xiahou Yan take the initiative to speak, Su Tingmei looked at him deeply.
No one knew Xiahou Yan better than him, and the other party's wisdom was no less than his.
But at this time, Xiahou Yan was embarrassed to speak, as some things had to be said through his mouth.
Even if something goes wrong in the end, he will be the one to take the blame.
However, he was willing to do anything to repay the Xiahou family.
Su Tingmei took the initiative to step forward and said in a deep voice: "General Xiahou, please accept my condolences. Since the incident has already happened, we should find a way to redress the general.
We don’t know what’s happening on the front line yet, so we need to send people to the front line to verify. It won’t be too late to take action after we figure things out.”
Now they only know that the general was killed by Chu Ning, and the news was brought by someone sent by the prince. If they act rashly, others will reap the benefits.
But as soon as this was said, a general immediately objected: "Mr. Su, going to the front line to inquire about the news and then returning here, do you know how much time it will take to go back and forth?"
“Yes, now we must act before King Shen Chu returns to the capital!”
"Yes, does he think he can do whatever he wants just because he is a prince? He must give us an explanation for this matter!"
"Although Mr. Su has considered everything, there is not enough time. I suggest sending troops to intercept the King of Chu immediately!"
Although Chu Ning won the battle on the front line, there were not many people around him. If they were intercepted halfway, it would definitely be possible to capture Chu Ning.
As long as they force Chu Ning to admit that he deliberately killed the general, they will have the opportunity to divide the general's money equally, or even use it to overthrow Chu Ning.
Su Tingmei frowned at what they said, revealing a hint of displeasure: "Intercept the prince, do you want to prove the general's guilt?"
Everyone was stunned, and then they realized that Xiahou Ren was convicted because he colluded with foreign tribes to murder Chu Ning.
If they were to intercept Chu Ning at this moment, or even capture Chu Ning, others would definitely think that they were imitating Xiahou Ren.
The generals who understood the situation immediately lowered their heads and remained silent, like children who had made a mistake.
The instigator, Xiahou Yan, had a look of grief and indignation, his face was filled with resentment, he clenched his hands tightly, and said indignantly;
"Is there nothing I can do now?"
In fact, Su Tingmei knew that Xiahou Yan was waiting for his plan.
He had watched this young General Xiahou grow up since he was a child, so he knew exactly what the other party was thinking.
It's just that I want the plan to come out of his mouth.
With a long sigh, Su Tingmei took the initiative to speak: "General, there is no need to be so sad, we are not completely passive.
Now that His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu has not returned to Kyoto, it is the best time for us to take action."
Xiahou Yan's eyes lit up, and he quickly stood up from the main seat and bowed to Su Tingmei: "Please teach me, sir!"
Inviting her again gave Su Tingmei enough face.
Su Tingmei took a deep breath and said slowly: "Currently, not many people in the court know that the general was killed. We can use this to make plans in advance!
First of all, the position of the general must not fall into the hands of other people. According to military merits, the only ones who have the chance to become the general are you and General Feng Anguo!
You can now submit a memorial to the court to suggest that since Yunzhou has lost its general and no one is leading the army, Feng Anguo can lead the troops of Yunzhou.
Feng Anguo has been promoted by the general. As long as you write a letter to him, he will definitely go to Yunzhou.
This way, he won't be able to compete with you for the position of general!"
The first thing is to take the position of general while Feng Anguo is away. Only with power and status will he have enough strength and confidence to compete with Chu Ning.
After all, he is a prince. If he doesn't have enough cards in his hand, how can he compete with the other party!
If one wants to become a great general, the first thing to do is to eliminate the biggest competitor Feng Anguo!
Even though Feng Anguo was promoted by the general, they still had to be on guard because of Feng Mulan.
This is exactly what Xiahou Yan is thinking right now!
However, he himself could not speak about the competition for the position of general, so Su Tingmei had to speak about it.
No matter what, the position of general belonged to his father. Now his father has just been killed. If he competes for the position of general immediately, he will definitely be criticized.
But if someone else suggests the fight, the situation will be different.
Sure enough, all the generals reacted after hearing what was said.
"Yes, we must seize the position of general first!"
"That's right, we must not let the position of general fall into the hands of others!"
"Mr. Su is right. Please accept my advice, General!"
Xiahou Yan looked at the generals who were asking for orders, and after a moment's hesitation, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "Since you are willing to help, I will definitely find a way to fight for the position of general!
However, I can’t just let it go like this with the Chu Palace!”
As he spoke, his eyes turned to Su Tingmei.
He knew that Su Tingmei must understand what he meant.
Su Tingmei narrowed her eyes, and a ruthless look flashed across her face: "If you don't want to move, then it's fine. If you want to move, then move together. Seize all the refined salt and facial masks from the Chu Palace, as well as the food from the Shen family!"
All business dealings between the Chu Palace and the Shen family must enter the capital city through Sizhou, and the Sizhou Camp is in charge of Sizhou!
Xiahou Yan's eyes were cold, and he said in a cold voice: "In this case, Mr. Su will arrange this matter!"
