Chapter 386 Zuo Liangyu Is Destined to Be the Scapegoat

Zhu Youjian had long wanted to deal with Zuo Liangyu, a general who always lost because he had his own troops and only harmed the people. He just needed an excuse.

Now that he had suffered a great defeat, he had an excuse. There were many charges. He deserted the battlefield, implicated friendly troops, and caused a great rout of 300,000 elite troops. This was enough to behead him and confiscate his property.

What's more, this great defeat needed a scapegoat. Logically, Sun Chuanting, the governor of the three borders, should be the most suitable. But the emperor obviously had his considerations. Sun Chuanting might still be valued, so Zuo Liangyu had to take the blame.

Qin Liangyu invited Zuo Liangyu into the headquarters. He was accompanied by only a few guards, and the rest of the guards stayed outside. It was the best opportunity to capture him. How could Qin Liangyu miss it?

Even if Zuo Liangyu and his hundreds of guards dared to resist arrest, she dared to order the guards to shoot and kill them all. The emperor's imperial military advisor Gu Junming was on the side to help her guard the battle.

After disarming and arresting hundreds of Zuo Liangyu's personal guards and detaining them separately, Qin Liangyu personally went to the front line to wait for the arrival of Sun Chuanting, the governor of the three borders.

Although Sun Chuanting suffered a great defeat, the chief of staff Gu Junming had already stated that the emperor had other appointments for Sun Chuanting and would not arrest him, but he would definitely be demoted.

This also shows that the emperor still trusts Sun Chuanting very much, and Sun Chuanting is still the governor of the three borders, and his official position is much higher than hers. It is reasonable for her to personally welcome him.

Of course, it is impossible for Sun Chuanting to seize the command power with the official position of the governor of the three borders. She was the commander-in-chief of the three armies appointed by the emperor himself, and no one can take it away.

It's not that Qin Liangyu is greedy for power, but she doesn't want to disappoint the emperor's trust and high hopes for her.

The emperor stated in the letter that the important task of defeating Wu Sangui and defending the defense line of Gu County will be shouldered by her.

Not long after, Sun Chuanting fled back in a panic under the protection of dozens of personal guards. Behind them, dust and smoke rolled, covering the sky and the sun. It was clear that Wu Sangui's army was coming.

"Hurry up and prepare for the battle, Wu Sangui is coming..." Sun Chuanting, with disheveled hair, pale face, and extremely embarrassed, panted and reminded Qin Liangyu.

"Don't worry, Governor Sun, I'm ready." Qin Liangyu replied with a fist, her face calm and at ease.

The preparations had been made a few days ago. With three elite musket armies, defense in fortifications, and a large number of artillery support, if they still couldn't withstand the attack of the Guanning Army, she, Qin Liangyu, would die to apologize without waiting for the emperor to punish her.

"Report to General Hong, the enemy cavalry is about to enter Area 6." A messenger hurried over, raised his chest and saluted Hong Niangzi, and reported loudly.

Zhu Youjian had long wanted to deal with Zuo Liangyu, a general who was always defeated and only harmed the people with his own troops. What he lacked was an excuse.

Now that they had suffered a great defeat, they had an excuse. There were many charges. Deserting from the battlefield, causing trouble for friendly forces, and causing a great rout of 300,000 elite troops was enough to behead them and have their property confiscated.

Moreover, this great defeat needed a scapegoat. Logically, Sun Chuanting, the governor of the three borders, should be the most suitable person. However, it was obvious that the emperor had his considerations. Sun Chuanting might still be valued, so Zuo Liangyu had to take the blame.
