Chapter 344 Stealing Power
"How is it possible? How can a general not know his life or death?"
"When the general left, he was clearly full of confidence, so how could there be such a change?"
"Deputy General Kan! The news is reliable!"
A series of screams rang out and soon came one after another.
In contrast, Kan Xia was even more calm.
"This is surprising, but when you think about it carefully, it is not impossible. After all, that person is the Marquis of Dingxiang!" Kan Xia was actually quite excited. Although he was worried that there were patrol soldiers next to him, he did not dare to express it too explicitly, but many emotions were hard to hide.
At least Guo Shou could feel a lot, but he knew very well that the current chaotic situation and the emergency situation, even if others noticed that Kan Xia was in a different mood, they would not care about investigation. What's more, they would not think that the deputy general of the Guo family was excited because of the current unfavorable situation.
After all, the others were also very excited, just panic.
However, after experiencing the initial chaos, someone finally calmed down a little, and then all looked at Kan Xia, staring at him and making an idea.
Feeling this situation, Kan Xia suddenly woke up and suddenly realized a problem.
"In this case, as the general's deputy general, I became the commander-in-chief and supreme commander of the three armies without knowing the life and death of the general?"
It was obvious that he was not the only one who realized this. Guo Shou, who was opposite, was also excited and looked at Kan Xia, and saw a trace of indescribable meaning in each other's eyes.
The whole situation seems to be about to open up!
After all, as a traitor who is in touch with foreign enemies, Kan Xia could only say that he had secretly conveyed some key information and had to try his best to hide himself. But now, if this traitor becomes the supreme commander, wouldn’t he be able to surrender to the enemy with his entire army?
No!
The two looked at each other again, and their eyes met and they understood each other's meaning.
They can do much more than this, and leading the team to surrender to the enemy is actually a less good choice.
Having the command of this army also means that he has the power to mobilize personnel, and it also means that he can arrange the entire city defense, and even some traps, layouts, and even the secrets of the intelligence system may take over - although it may be a short time.
It can be imagined that once this news comes back to the city, then Mr. Mo He Mo will definitely take over control as soon as possible and exclude Kan Xia and others as much as possible.
Similarly, Kan Xia and others were also very clear about this and realized the urgency of the situation, so they were unwilling to delay it.
So in the prompt of Guo Shou's eyes, Kan Xia stood up decisively. He coughed gently and said to everyone: "Don't panic first. Now the news is chaotic, and there are all things you say. Some say they have been arrested, some say they have retreated, and some say the general has been killed. But no matter which one it is, it is too late to pursue it now. The top priority is that the entire barracks cannot collapse and the troops will be dispersed because of this matter. Otherwise, even Luoyang is in danger!
Everyone couldn't help but nod when they heard this.
Seeing that everyone calmed down, Kan Xia struck while the iron was hot and continued: "In the current situation, we must defend Luoyang, and we cannot even give up Longmen Fort. It should be noted that our military camp is standing between Longmen Fort and Luoyang City. I don't need to say more about this intention? If Longmen is in danger, we must take the initiative to support it. If Longmen cannot stand firm, we will gather the troops and horses in this camp and continue to serve as a barrier for Luoyang. No matter what, this place cannot be messed up!"
In the end, he was even more decisive, with a sense of inability to be rejected by others.
Even Guo Shou felt that Kan Xia was capable. If he didn't know that he had no way out, he still felt that he really wanted to save the situation!
Even he was like this, others could imagine that he was convinced immediately, not to mention that Kan Xia's status was there, so he should have been the leader, but now when the person spoke, the others immediately had a backbone.
Kan Xia did not waste opportunities. He thought that the worst situation at this time was the chaos of troops. As a result, he overstepped his power and gathered his people. His influence could only be limited to a small part. In the best situation, he would pull out his people and stay away from Luoyang, so as not to be constrained by Mo He.
"According to Wang Xue's words, since that day..." His face changed slightly, and he muttered in his heart, as if he had thought of something bad, but he immediately suppressed it, "Then Mo He actually noticed me. After that, he may have been sending people to follow me. Since that's the case, once he gets the news, whether he knows that the general falls or that I want to control the army, he will be on guard, and even directly take command. After all, he has the endorsement of the Marquis of Yongchang and many tokens. Even if he is unpopular, he can eat better here than me. Therefore, in the best case, let me leave with my troops as soon as possible..."
As for where to leave, there are some considerations.
At this moment, there was chaos outside, and then Wang Xue and two familiar faces, disguised as soldiers, rushed in, saying that they were reporting on military information.
The guards around were about to stop him, but Kan Xia waved his hand and asked him to let him go. Then he took a letter from the two of them. When he opened it, he immediately understood and did not hesitate at the moment.
"You send me an order immediately, let the generals below gather their troops and gather together, and set off as soon as possible!" Speaking of this, Kan Xia made a decision in front of everyone's doubtful eyes, "Let's go to Longmen Fort! Only when we get there can we truly stabilize the situation! Otherwise, the news of the general's defeat will spread now, and the people in Longmen Fort would have a desire and fear, open the door and surrender. That can't be stopped simply by relying on our current situation!"
"That's right!" Guo Shou quickly spoke next to him. He knew Kan Xia's plan just as soon as he heard it. The Longmen Fort was now standing in front of Luoyang, which was a major obstacle for the imperial coalition. Although he had been fighting well in the surrounding points recently, he still couldn't make any progress. If it fell into the hands of those of them...
Thinking of this, he quickly added fuel to the fire and said, "That's right now, there are chaos in all directions. If you retreat to Luoyang, there will be problems. Maybe some bad intentions will get in. Instead, you have to go to Longmen Fort. On the one hand, it can also be used as a barrier for Luoyang, and on the other hand, it will rectify the team. Anyone who has infiltrated can also take the opportunity to eliminate them to avoid hidden dangers!"
When he said this, others felt it was very reasonable, so they clasped their fists.
