In the Snow: The Prince of Beiliang Rebelled at the Beginning

Jiang Bian was in mixed feelings at the moment. He always felt it was a bit strange that he was sent to Shu to suppress the riots at this time.

He was always feeling uneasy along the way.

I always feel like something big is going to happen.

He stayed here for one night, waiting for someone.

Or rather, this person was already waiting for him here.

This person was none other than his master.

Jiangbian was led by a soldier to another inn.

"When did the master arrive?" Jiang Bian asked. The soldier replied, "He arrived yesterday. He was supposed to go to the front line, but because of the long journey, he caught a cold and was delayed at the inn."

"I just happened to meet you, General."

"The old general said he wanted to discuss with you about the relevant matters of entering Shu."

Jiang Bian looked worried: "What's going on now?"

The soldier said, "It's all right now."

Jiangbian walked quickly to the door of a wing room. The soldier knocked on the door first, and a voice came from inside, "Come in." Then there were continuous coughing sounds.

Jiangbian signaled the soldiers to leave and he went into the house alone.

The room was filled with sandalwood smoke.

By the window.

There was a person sitting there, leaning against the window frame, looking out the window.

Still continue to cough.

Jiang Bian walked to the old man, helped him close the window, and sat down beside the bed. "Master, you can definitely refuse. At your age, why should you follow us young people and suffer?"

"Even His Majesty won't force you to do that."

"The rebellion in Shu is probably going to be more difficult."

The old man's expression softened a little after hearing this. "It's good that you know."

“This time it may be worse than you think.”

"General Gu asked me to supervise the battle because he was afraid that you would not be attentive."

Hearing this, Jiang Bian's expression suddenly became solemn:

"The court doesn't believe us?"

The old man nodded: "At this time...I'm afraid your majesty won't trust anyone."

"The matter in Shu is of great importance. If there is any mistake, everything will be turned upside down."

"So don't think that you are being used by His Majesty. In fact, you are sending us to our deaths."

"Even if we knew this outcome, there was nothing we could do."

"My child, I am waiting for you here just to say goodbye to you."

"Master," Jiang Bian's pupils shrank and he clenched his fists, "How can they be so cruel?"

The old man shook his head and said, "Once you embark on this path, there is no turning back."

"It's good enough that you and I, master and disciple, can meet here."

"When we go to suppress the rebellion, we have to face the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry, not any other army. Do you know what our chances of winning are?"

Hearing this, Jiang Bian was shocked, looked at the old man, opened his mouth, and asked: "Master, what do you mean: Beiliang really rebelled?"

The old man nodded and said, "Yes, but His Majesty is unwilling to admit this fact."

Jiang Bian said calmly: "Beiliang is the traitor."

"Beiliang like this deserves to be killed."

"It should also be eliminated."

The old man hesitated.

He is Li Yang's general, and the disciple in front of him is also Li Yang's general. Their missions:

Sacrificed for the Liyang Dynasty.

Sacrifice for the people of Liyang.

In other words, they are no longer themselves.

The old man said, "You have to be careful this time."

"Gu Jiantang's former subordinates and the Liyang Dynasty's personal soldiers were all killed by the mob."

"Sending us, the master and disciple, now is nothing more than sending us here to die."

"Although I know that mentioning these things in front of you will disrupt the morale of the army, as your master, I have to remind you."

Jiang Bian clasped his fists and said, "Master, I will keep this in mind and will never be careless."

The old man nodded and said, "Then I feel relieved."

After saying this, the old man, who had caught a cold, stood up, walked to the window, looked at the scenery outside, and said with emotion:

"Shu is such a great place to live a life of luxury."

"If it weren't for the war, I would really like to settle here."

"In ancient times, Shu was a land of smog and miasma. I don't think that is necessarily the case now. It has gained a reputation as the 'Land of Abundance'."

“It’s so beautiful!”

I hesitated by the river and looked at the old man. His back looked a little lonely, like the setting sun.

"Go and do your work. You don't have to stay here to watch over me."

The old man waved his hand and asked Jiang Bian to leave.

Jiang Bian walked out of the room and asked people to take good care of the old man.

Only then left.

As a general of Liyang, Jiang Bian's mission is to safeguard the interests of the Liyang Dynasty.

He didn't hesitate.

Because he has no room to maneuver.

You can only keep moving forward.

Besides, he has no way out.

---------------

Jiang Bian entered Shu and began to impose military control on the riot-ridden areas in Shu with extremely swift measures.

The riot was quickly suppressed.

Jiang Bian looked at the mob and questioned many of them, but no one spoke.

One of the deputy generals reported: "General, the most important thing now is to report the situation here to General Gu and the court."

"The rebellion in Shu has been suppressed. You have done a great deed."

"We can also return to the court."

Jiang Bian shook his head and said, "You thought it was over, but in my opinion, it is not over."

"Be prepared, there will definitely be a sneak attack tonight."

"If you don't want to die, then stay alert. Otherwise, disaster will come and you will never see your wife, children and mother again."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions froze.

They all knew what kind of person Jiang Bian was.

Tell the truth.

Whatever he says will come true.

As a soldier under him, I have received a lot of benefits by following him over the years.

Even the deputy general became serious.

He did not refute Jiang Bian's words.

It was an order and also a signal.

What Jiangbian said is not groundless.

"General, what do these people say?" the deputy general asked. Jiang Bian said calmly, "They are just exploring the way."

Upon hearing this, the deputy general was also slightly surprised and stared at the riverside. "Exploring the way?"

Jiang Bian nodded and said, "That's right, there are no signs of military training on these people."

"Probably the mob."

"But, strangely, there are some markings on these people's bodies. They are all death row prisoners, and some are even going to be executed."

"Why are they here? This really proves what my master said: the riot here is not simple."

The deputy continued, "General, what should we do now?"

Jiang Bian was a little worried, but he didn't show it.

But it's very peaceful.

Said:

"Brothers, be prepared and do not get confused."

"Don't make a fire to cook tonight. Eat the dry food first."

“We’re going to play a game of cat and mouse with these people.”

The deputy general's eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "General, we will do whatever you tell us to do."

Jiang Bian grinned and said, "Of course I'm waiting."

"Perhaps, now that they are in the dark and we are in the light, we will see who has better endurance."

"If they can be more patient than we are, we will have no choice but to take the initiative."

The deputy general was slightly startled, looked at the riverside, and asked suspiciously: "Okay, when will we go out? This is a question."

Jiang Bian said calmly: "Tomorrow at the beginning of the Mao hour."
