Governor's Mansion.

"Sterling, Inspector General Xiao Long came to see me just now and submitted his resignation letter - he was also afraid and promised not to get involved in the fight between me and Yang Minghua tonight."

"This is because Mr. President, you have won the hearts of the people - after today's meeting, he also understood that Yang Minghua is really unpopular - Yang Minghua is too stupid to express his intention to rebel in such a hurry."

"No, think about it: before the meeting, Yang Minghua's strength included: Lei Xun's 170,000 Central Army, Di Lin's 50,000 Far East Army outside the city, the gendarmerie of the Supervisory Office, his own bodyguards, and the imperial capital's administrative department.

Police force; but we only have your 10,000 Imperial Guards - he is not stupid, he is emboldened! It would be a pity not to seize such a good opportunity for rebellion!"

"Sir, if the subordinate was Yang Minghua - he would not have allowed the officers of each unit to leave the imperial capital safely..."

"It is easy to close the city gates and carry out a massacre, but that will make the Far East Army, the Border Guards and the Black Flag Army become Yang Minghua's mortal enemies - Yang Minghua's purpose is just to establish his authority, and he doesn't want to

If it's like this - more than 80% of the army is against it, even if we take the position, we won't be able to hold it firmly."

"but…"

"Only Ge Yingxing is Yang Minghua's mortal enemy, so he has arranged for Di Lin to hunt down the others - Yang Minghua can slowly divide and bribe the other people after they ascend to the position of chief. This is much smarter than a massacre."

The staff officer entered the temporary headquarters and reported: "Your Majesty, a large number of armed men in black appeared around the Governor's Mansion. The defense commander requested instructions."

Sterling stood up suddenly: "Number of people?!"

"Four thousand eight hundred and twenty-one people." The answer was actually Zichuan Shenxing, "Those are Yang Minghua's personal guards."

Sterling did not ask Zichuan Shenxing why he could tell the number of Yang Minghua's guards at once - this should be extremely confidential information that even Di Lin did not know. He knew very well what he should observe as a subordinate and what should not be said.

Don't say a word.

Sterling ordered: "Ignore them, but monitor them closely."

Zichuan Shenxing asked with interest: "Why?"

"Sir, these are just a mob, please don't worry - there is also the police force of the police department, and the gendarmerie force of the Supervisory Office are also nothing to be afraid of. As long as the Imperial Guards are handed over to the command of the subordinates, we guarantee that they will be wiped out overnight!"

"Oh, what do you care about..."

Sterling's worried eyes turned to the south, where was the Central Army's south camp: "The only thing that the official is worried about is the Central Army - the scouts just reported that all the Central Army troops on the street suddenly withdrew to the south camp to assemble.

The door is closed..."

“Such a big operation—the Central Army is waiting for Lei Xun’s mobilization order.”

"Your Excellency is wise, as your Excellency said - but they may have to wait for a long time." Sterling couldn't help laughing.

"Not necessarily," Zichuan Shenxing shook his head: "Yang Minghua is not from Ben. If the Central Army did not show up at the appointed time, he would naturally send someone to take over Lei Xun's troops."

Sterling stared at the dark and silent south of the city and murmured: "It's all up to you, Axiu!"

"Cigarettes, beer, preserved eggs, and eight-treasure porridge!"

"Mineral water, drinks, peanuts, chewing gum!"

"Newspapers, magazines, train timetables, playing cards!"

In the solemn conference hall of the Central Army, more than three hundred officers of the Central Army could not believe their eyes: a young man wearing a deputy commander's uniform pushed a cart full of food and came in shouting.

!

Deputy Commander Ge Xin yelled angrily: "Zichuan Xiu, what are you doing?"

"Oh, I see people on the train are selling like this - don't I learn the same thing? But there's no need to be so angry - I learned it from the people on the regular express train. If you don't like it - I

It’s better to learn the express method!”

Ge Xin: “#·##￥*!”

There was also a lot of yelling and swearing below.

Another deputy commander Mi Haiyi thought of a key question: "How did you get in? Where are the guards?"

Zichuan Xiu Liang showed the troop deployment order in his hand: "I used this to bribe the guards."

The yelling and cursing suddenly stopped.

Everyone watched in disbelief as Zichuan Xiu handed over the troop order. Someone whispered: "It's impossible, is it fake?"

But after verification by the three deputy commanders, the result was true.

※※※

There was silence, and everyone was at a loss: What happened?

The officers present were already aware of the events at the daytime meeting, and received instructions from Lei Xun, their immediate superior: "1. Gather the troops at the base camp in the south of the city, fully armed, and prepare for war. 2. All deputy flags and above at 7:30

The officers are gathered in the conference hall waiting for my final order!" - No matter how stupid you are, you know what will happen!

Some people are happy and some are sad, but the mentality of most people is: uneasy - in the family's more than two hundred years of history, those who rebelled have never had a good ending, but they must obey the orders of their direct superiors...

Everyone gathered with various mixed emotions, and lined up from 7:30 until nearly 10 o'clock, but Lei Xun never showed up, and no one with enough authority could tell them: What should they do? At this time of hesitation...

Here comes Deputy Commander Zichuan Xiu with a troop deployment order!

"Your Excellency Xiuchuan, what do you do for me?" the third deputy commander An Ning asked.

"Oh, it's like this. Everyone has been very busy and hard at work recently - I heard that many people have suffered from hemorrhoids, gastric ulcers and so on. Commander Lei Xun asked me to come and comfort everyone and hold a heart-to-heart party. Happy everyone.

one time!"

Only a ghost will believe you!

"Oh, you don't believe it, so I have to tell the truth - it's actually because the moonlight is very beautiful tonight, and Commander Lei suddenly came to Yaxing and wants everyone to enjoy the moon together!"

Ge Xin couldn't bear it any longer: "Excuse me, Sir Xiuchuan, where is our commander, Mr. Lei?"

"Oh, when I met him just now, he was at Xishan Mountain in the north of the city - but now he may have reached Qingxiu Mountain in the south of the city. That place has a beautiful scenery and is very suitable for moon-viewing - you want to watch the moon with him? No need.

Well, actually the environment here is also very good, with a clear breeze and bright moon..."

"Why do you have such a shameful face? Don't you like admiring the moon? You don't even do such elegant things. Fortunately, I expected it. It's impossible for everyone to be so poetic! - Japanese short movie

Don’t you see it? The heroine’s figure is first-rate and sexy, and her voice is very sweet…”

"You still have a bad face, I understand - you don't like Japanese movies! What a noble patriotic sentiment, even the third-level movies have to be watched domestically produced! Okay, I also have Hong Kong movies here - don't like it? Then

It’s from Taiwan - but I heard that they are engaged in * recently, so I guess you won’t like it either…”

"Okay, if everyone doesn't say anything, we have no objections - free to disband!"

"Hey, Deputy Commander Ge, why do you say I don't have the right to issue orders? - I have the power to mobilize troops and am the deputy commander, so why don't I have the right to issue orders?"

"Come on, come on, everyone has a piece of food, pick the plate you like and look at it - Hey, um, you took two bottles of eight-treasure porridge, don't take too many! And the one wearing red flag clothes, you take the VCD

The plug is reversed - look at you, you look so anxious!"

Under Zi Chuanxiu's instigation, the officers who had stood in line for nearly three hours were already exhausted. Now that Zichuan Xiu, who seemed authoritative enough (his deputy commander also had the command to mobilize troops), gave them orders, and

This order is indeed very pleasant (rest, eat and drink, watch dishes). Anyway, Commander Lei Xun’s order just told everyone to wait - but there is no regulation on how to wait - with a "crash", the neat queue dispersed,

Everyone just laughed and chatted, grabbed food and drinks - the venue that was so solemn just now suddenly turned into a party venue.

※※※

The faces of the three deputy commanders were uncertain, and they all had a question mark: "What should I do?"

An Ning suggested: "Why don't we just wait and see what happens?" - He was not very enthusiastic about the rebellion in the first place, but came under pressure from Lei Xun. Now that Lei Xun doesn't show up, that would be the best.

Ge Xin objected: "How can it be possible? The opportunity now is so precious!" Lei Xun had already warned him beforehand that if it succeeded, he would be the new commander of the Central Army.

Mi Haiyi sneered: "The situation is unclear. Acting blindly now means quick death." - It is good to rebel against you, but it is none of my business! If you lose, it will be the disaster of plundering your family and exterminating the clan. If you win, there is no benefit - you do this stupid thing yourself

Just do it.

Seeing that he could not convince the other two deputy commanders, Ge Xin gritted his teeth and stomped out of the conference hall: he also had nearly 50,000 troops, who could also decide the overall situation.

※※※

A voice shouted at the door: "Stop!"

Baichuan, Roger and others led more than 40 guards from Zichuanxiu to guard the entrance of the conference hall.

Zichuan Xiuyouyou said: "With such a clear breeze and bright moon - where is Your Excellency Ge Xin going in a hurry?"

Ge Xin smiled "hehe": "Your Excellency Xiuchuan came to our Central Army to run wild, and he only brought this few people - a little less, right?"

He is right, this is the base camp of the Central Army. As long as there is a fight and hundreds of thousands of Central Army troops surround it, no one on Zichuanxiu's side can go back alive - even the number of officers in the hall far exceeds Zichuanxiu's.

guards, and they are all fully armed.

Zichuan Xiuya smiled "hehe" and suddenly shouted - the voice was as shocking as the roar of thunder:

"Yang Minghua conspired to rebel and was treasonous. He has been executed!"

"Lei Xun collaborated in the conspiracy and committed a heinous crime. He has been punished!"

"The 400,000-strong King Qin's army from the Far East, led by Lord Ge Yingxing, has arrived in the imperial capital!"

"Where to go, you all can choose for yourself! - Whoever wants to be buried with Yang Minghua and Lei Xun, just ask! They are also very lonely down there!"

The content of the words was more shocking than the volume of the voice, which was full of true energy. Everyone was shaken to the point of trembling!

"He's talking nonsense! Kill him!" Ge Xin, who came back to his senses, loudly ordered his subordinates.
