Inside the camp, the flickering lights created a tense atmosphere. Soldiers hurried back and forth, passing on messages, their faces filled with worry. An Lushan and Li Bai stood side by side, their gaze determined as if they could see through the pitch-black night. "Taibai, this accusation is no small matter. We must quickly uncover the truth, or else the military's morale will be unstable, and the borderlands will be in great danger," An Lushan said in a deep voice. Li Bai nodded, his brow furrowed. "Indeed, at such times, with internal and external troubles, it truly tests the human heart. We must first stabilize the military's morale before considering anything else."
"You're right," An Lushan turned to the messenger at his side and ordered, "Spread the word to strengthen the camp patrols and ensure safety. At the same time, instruct the soldiers to stay vigilant but not to panic."
The messenger took the order and left, and the atmosphere in the camp eased slightly. An Lushan and Li Bai exchanged a smile, both showing a hint of determination in their eyes.
"Brother Taibai, who do you think is behind this false accusation?" An Lushan asked in a low voice.
Li Bai pondered for a moment before speaking slowly, "This matter is difficult to guess. But in any case, we cannot let this false accusation affect our actions. The most urgent task is to find the mastermind behind this and restore our innocence."
"You are right," An Lushan nodded, "I will arrange for people to secretly investigate this matter. At the same time, we need to strengthen communication with other generals to ensure that they will not be affected by this false accusation."
Just then, a Strategist hurried over, holding a confidential letter in hand, "My lord, we have just intercepted a confidential letter that seems to be related to this false accusation."
An Lushan and Li Bai both took the secret letter and carefully read it. The letter contained some vague words, but it mentioned a few names and places. They exchanged a glance, both showing a look of understanding in their eyes.
"Taibai brother, it seems we have found a clue," An Lushan said in a deep voice.
Li Bai nodded, "Indeed. The names and places in this secret letter are all people within our army. It seems that this accusation is indeed orchestrated by someone."
"How should we proceed?" Strategist asked anxiously.
An Lushan pondered for a moment, then spoke slowly, "We cannot startle the snake in the grass. First, investigate these people in secret and uncover their connection to these false accusations. At the same time, we must strengthen the defense and counterattack efforts at the borderlands to ensure safety."
"Right!" Li Bai echoed, "We cannot let these false accusations affect our morale and combat strength. We must unite and face this crisis together!"
Strategists nodded in agreement, and the atmosphere became resolute once again. They knew that this was a battle concerning the safety of the country and personal reputation, and they had to go all out without flinching.
In the following days, An Lushan and Li Bai secretly investigated the individuals mentioned in the confidential letter. They discovered that one of them was a soldier responsible for transmitting intelligence within the military, and his behavior was highly suspicious. After careful planning, they successfully apprehended the soldier and extracted the truth of the false accusation from him. It turned out that the soldier, out of jealousy for An Lushan and Li Bai's achievements and status, had colluded with external enemies to fabricate the false accusation.
Upon learning the truth, An Lushan and Li Bai immediately clarified the facts to the court and demonstrated their innocence. The court, upon learning the truth, was greatly angered and ordered severe punishment for the soldier and his accomplices. At the same time, the court also expressed great appreciation and trust in An Lushan and Li Bai.
After this incident, the prestige of An Lushan and Li Bai has risen even higher. They led the soldiers to successfully repel the enemy's attack, ensuring the safety of the borderlands. At the same time, they also successfully rooted out the traitors and stabilized the morale of the army. This crisis was ultimately resolved through their wisdom and courage.
