Mother, I have returned to the throne.

Chapter 284 Treason

"Song Yuan, stop spitting bloody words at me!"

"When have we ever thought of harming you? Don't talk nonsense!"

Faced with Song Yuan's accusations, Wei Wushuang was the first one who couldn't sit still and immediately opened his mouth to refute.

Song Yuan sneered and said coldly to Wei Wushuang in front of him.

"Your words are not enough, but I want evidence. I only want to ask you one question. When I wanted to raid the barbarians, I only told the commander who came to inspect the matter!"

"After returning, the commander should report this news according to the rules. It is neither moral nor reasonable to spread it widely!"

"And I personally sent a message, and Murong Lie told me that this plan was only shared with the general. I'm really curious how the barbarians knew about it!"

When Song Yuan finished speaking, his face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.

A pair of eyes stared at General Wei, as if he was going to kill him in the next second.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present changed color.

Except for the Wei brothers, the Qing soldiers behind them all showed some hesitation.

They originally thought that Song Yuan was planning to rebel.

But now after hearing this, I realized that Song Yuan was actually sold out by his own people.

It is very likely that General Wei is secretly obstructing the plan just to eliminate Song Yuan.

Even a clay man would get angry, let alone the other party bullying him?

Not to mention the prince, even if it were someone else, they might not be able to endure to the end. In this case, Song Yuan’s previous actions were understandable.

"Song Yuan, stop slandering me here. Don't think I don't know what you're up to. You're just trying to frame me!"

Seeing the changes in the expressions of the people around him, General Wei quickly opened his mouth and roared, "You are relying on your position here. First, you asked me to put down my sword, and then you act recklessly. Do you really think that you can cover up the sky with one hand by simply taking off my hat?"

"I'm telling you, if you want to get rid of me, you have to ask the people behind me if they agree or not! They are all my soldiers, they have followed me through thick and thin. Do you think they can just stand by and watch?"

"General Wei, how dare you say that?"

Facing General Wei's sophistry, Song Yuan snorted coldly: "If you hadn't come to me before, I might have thought there was something else going on. But now that you've taken the initiative to come to me, who else could be collaborating with the enemy?"

"Stop making such a fuss here! I just mentioned that plan only for the sake of the overall situation!"

"General Wei, what you said is very good. It's a good consideration for the overall situation of Wei!"

Song Yuan laughed heartily, not disguising the mockery in his eyes: "As a frontier general, are you not even as good as a weakling like me?"

"Even I can see clearly that the barbarians have repeatedly attacked the left wing, clearly determined to attack Mohai City. It's fine that you didn't send troops to support them at this critical juncture, but you're even thinking of transferring me away. Tell me, what exactly are your intentions?"

"What is the Ink Sea? Don't tell me you can't tell. If it becomes difficult to capture it, both Piaoxue City and Zhenbei Pass will be threatened by the barbarians!"

"You've led troops for many years, how could you not understand this? I see you're clearly trying to seize this opportunity to manipulate the country and its people for your own selfish gain. The one truly manipulating people's hearts, not me, is you!"

"Look carefully, this sword in my hand was given to me by my father personally when I left. With this sword in hand, I will slay tyrants and corrupt officials!"

"Based on what you did just now, I can kill you right now. Even if I have to be buried with you, I will definitely protect the border!"

Song Yuan's words were full of righteousness, and he puffed out his chest while speaking. His whole image became much taller at this moment.

The decisiveness that flashed in his eyes made everyone think that Song Yuan had made up his mind to fight to the death.

Even those who had been in contact with Song Yuan for a long time were looking at him worriedly.

Even Situ Jing couldn't help but clench his fists.

Even though they had been with Song Yuan day and night, they couldn't help but feel a little uneasy when they saw how realistically Song Yuan acted out the scene.

He was afraid that Song Yuan would really take action the next second and kill General Wei here, and then he would be unable to escape death!

Although General Wei has now expressed his hostility, no matter what, Song Yuan's prestige is still not enough to lead the entire Zhenbei Army.

Under such circumstances, even if Song Yuan has many reasons to execute your great general, Your Majesty will have to execute him out of consideration for the feelings of the Zhenbei Army.

In this way, it can be said that the gain outweighs the loss.

Situ Jing hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't hold back and immediately stepped forward to dissuade him.

But before he could step forward, Jinlian beside him reached out and grabbed Situ Jing's wrist, shaking her head at her.

Jinlian knew Song Yuan's conspiracy from the beginning, and naturally believed that a smart man like Song Yuan would never give up the opportunity to survive.

Sure enough, Song Yuan's chest heaved, but he finally suppressed his anger.

General Wei raised his eyebrows, finally found a suitable reason, and spoke up to defend himself immediately.

"Your Highness, what you said is sheer nonsense. As the commander, how could I possibly do such a foolish thing?"

"If we lose this war, how do you think I, as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, can get away with it?"

"How you get away with it is your business, but now, you've personally asked to have me transferred away. Isn't this arrangement alone enough to prove your suspicion?"

"I've won two great victories in a row. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that as long as I defend Mohai City, I can guarantee its safety. I see you're clearly trying to win over the barbarians and present this city to them as a gift. Otherwise, how could you possibly give up your advantage? You're simply trying to use this opportunity to deal with me!"

"Your Highness, what you said is a bit inappropriate. I clearly told you before that I arranged for you to go to other places so that you can make achievements there. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the people under your command, right?"

General Wei stiffened his neck and began to state his reasons.

"Besides, you only told Murong Lie, but you have so many followers around you, how can you guarantee that this information didn't come from their mouths?"

"Alright, alright, you want to sow discord, then I'll make sure you die a clear death today!"

Faced with General Wei's convenience, Song Yuan sneered.

"The plan I told you was fake from beginning to end. From the very beginning, I knew there was something fishy going on in Zhenbei City!"

"Anyone close to me who knows about this matter knows the truth. Do you think that if they really leaked it, how could they pass on false information?"

At the end of his speech, Song Yuan looked straight at General Wei and completely put an end to the matter with just one sentence.

"General Wei, the information the barbarians learned was the original version I passed on to Murong Lie, not my actual arrangement. So please tell me, if it was someone close to me who passed on the information, how could it have ended like this?"
