Chapter 425: Forcing Zhao Biao to Revolt
"Come here, take all the members of the Zhao family to jail and interrogate them strictly!"
"As ordered!"
The guards immediately went to search the servants in the mansion.
Emperor Liang felt weak all over and almost fainted.
The ministers rushed forward to support him and asked him to take care of himself.
The general sighed,
"Your Majesty, I have a reasonable suspicion that Zhao Biao had planned this long ago."
"Go on."
Liang Huang said, holding his forehead.
"Your Majesty, I believe that Zhao Biao seems to have harbored rebellious intentions for a long time, and he wants to harm Daliang!
Zhao Kuo is his nephew. Even if we don’t understand, how could Zhao Biao not understand?
During that period, Zhao Biao's return was strange. The next day after he came back, he recommended Zhao Kuo to be the commander-in-chief. His purpose was to kill our 400,000 troops and make our country unable to fight back.
He also moved his family so that they would have no worries when they surrendered to the enemy.
Now our country's army is gone and in danger. Zhao Biao is outside with the cavalry. He can attack or retreat, and no one can do anything to him.
This beast has no intention of fighting at all, and is just waiting for our country to be destroyed before defecting to another country."
"Switch to another country?"
The Liang Emperor suddenly understood and said,
"Yes, that's what he thought. Otherwise, why would he recommend Zhao Kuo? Why would he take his family away?
Which country will he switch to? Qi or Qin?
The general hesitated for a moment and said,
"Your Majesty, if he wants to surrender, why not choose the strongest one? I heard that Zhao Biao and Lanling Wang of Yan State have a close relationship."
"Yan? Does Yan also want Liang to perish? Then why did they declare war on Qi? Aren't they helping us?"
"Alas, Your Majesty, Yan wants to attack Qi, and it has nothing to do with Liang. So, all the territory they conquer belongs to Yan, right? Can they give us even a little bit?"
I even suspect that when they divided the land between our Liang and Qi countries, they only gave it to Liang and not Qi, in order to deliberately instigate Qi to attack our country.
When our country is destroyed by Qi, they will take advantage of the situation and destroy Qi under the banner of revenge for our country. Then, wouldn’t the territories of Liang and Qi belong to Yan?
Otherwise, why did Shen Changgong keep finding excuses not to send out troops when the Yan State clearly had 600,000 troops on the border?
The reason they sent troops before we were destroyed was that they did not want to be criticized morally.
That’s because even if the Qi army retreats, the Qin army can still destroy us.
Your Majesty, the Yan State also has wicked ambitions. We all thought its only target was the Kun State, but they began planning to attack the Qi and Liang States a long time ago."
The Emperor of Liang's head was buzzing. At this moment, Dian Ke, who had long been dissatisfied with the State of Yan, hurriedly said,
"Your Majesty, I have said before that the State of Yan cannot be trusted. They are a nation of perfidy and treacherous people, and their ambitions are too great.
But no one listened to me, and it ended up causing a disaster!"
As he spoke, he looked at everyone with a smug look in his eyes.
What he meant was, "Look, you didn't listen to the old man, and now you're suffering. I told you not to listen to me, and now you regret it, don't you? Don't say I didn't warn you!"
Emperor Liang glared at him fiercely and said,
"Now what?!"
Dian Ke said quickly,
"Your Majesty, Zhao Biao has betrayed you and the Liang Kingdom. This traitor must be severely punished and must not be allowed to command the army. Please issue an imperial decree as soon as possible and select a suitable person to take over the military power.
Have someone arrest Zhao Biao and escort him back to Xingqing Prefecture!
Otherwise, not only will the White Horse Army not become the main force, but it may even surrender to the enemy and harm our country.
In this critical moment, we must seize the White Horse Army's last remaining main force!"
Liangguo sighed,
"The Qin army is now besieging the city, and our people can't get out at all. How can we get someone to take over the military power and capture Zhao Biao?"
The general thought for a moment and said,
"Your Majesty, my son, ** Lun, is the commander-in-chief of the Iron Harrier Army and is absolutely loyal. Since Xingqing Prefecture cannot send anyone out now, why not send a pigeon to my son and have him take over the position of commander-in-chief of the White Horse Army temporarily and capture Zhao Biao?
How about after we defeat the Qin army, Your Majesty selects a suitable person to be the commander of the White Horse Army?"
The Emperor of Liang looked at the Grand Marshal, thinking that his family was all in Xingqing Mansion, and he was not afraid of his son rebelling, so he nodded and said,
"In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures must be taken. Let your son be the commander-in-chief. If he can truly defeat the enemy, I will not only make him the official commander-in-chief, but also reward him."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will go back and write a letter to my son immediately."
"Go quickly, let him take action tonight, so as to avoid any more trouble!"
"As ordered!"
The general immediately returned home and wrote a letter to his son, Li Lun, asking him to immediately arrest Zhao Biao and take over the military power.
The carrier pigeon fluttered into flight, and while it was still light, it flew and flew, all the way east, and landed in a military camp, where it was caught by a soldier.
The soldier took off the cloth tied to the pigeon's legs, put it in a cage, and then opened it and took a look.
This soldier is the Li family's private soldier, specially assigned to serve and protect Li Lun.
The carrier pigeons were not from the military, but from their own family.
He was horrified and immediately went to find Luluan with the carrier pigeon.
**Lun is very young, less than 30 years old, and relying on his father's status, he has risen to the position of the leader of the Iron Harriers.
At this moment, he was sitting in the tent, drinking alone.
"General, something big has happened!"
** Lun frowned and took the note. After reading it, he snorted coldly and said,
"That damn Zhao Biao always shows off his power, I've been fed up with him for a long time.
Call the guards, come, follow me to kill Zhao Biao!"
"Yes!"
The soldiers immediately called over dozens of guards, all wearing armor, and followed ** Lun as they strode towards Zhao Biao's tent.
Because they were all family, no one else stopped them, but quite a few people gathered around to watch.
When Zhao Biao's guards saw it, they immediately notified him.
"What? You said ** Lun brought dozens of people and weapons to my side?"
"Yes."
"What is this idiot trying to do? Go call the guards. Also, mobilize the First Battalion of the First Corps to surround them. I want to see what this Li guy is up to."
Zhao Biao also came out with his men and surrounded the commander's tent.
Soon, **Lun came here.
Zhao Biao shouted,
"**Lun, what are you doing? What do you want to talk to me about?"
**Lun sneered and said,
"Zhao Biao, you traitor, you actually betrayed Daliang. Today, I, the general, am ordered by the emperor to capture you and take over the military command!"
As soon as these words were spoken, many soldiers around were immediately shocked.
What? The coach is rebelling?
