The sun has risen in mid-air. Although it has been a while since the time left Wu, the temperature is already quite high. Even if you are bare-shirted and hide in the shade, you will inevitably be covered in smelly sweat. If you are standing in the armor, you are standing in the
In the scorching sun, it would be like staying in a steamer, making people sweat and suffer. So much hot. So, the officers and soldiers guarding the gate of the military camp were very depressed, even though they would not yawn.
At the same time, everyone had written the word "bitter" without any concealment on their faces. They all wished that the time to hand over the shift would come quickly, so that they could breathe breathe. Unfortunately, the things didn't go as expected, and the colleagues who handed over the shift had never been
When they arrived, dozens of rides of smoke and dust came from a distance.
"Come and stop!"
Xiang Wang was strict in his army. Those who dared to slacken in a little while the weather was hot now, but no one dared to joke about his duties. Before the cavalry came to the front, a lieutenant on duty had already passed away.
He snatched it out from the gate, shaking his arms and shouted.
"Bold, the imperial envoy arrives. How dare you be arrogant and not retreat!"[
The dozens of cavalry that were speeding towards the lieutenant did not stop because of the lieutenant's slap, but rushed to the antler in front of the gate, and then stopped the reins of the horse. An officer dressed in the palace guard uniform followed the knights.
Zhong rode out and shouted angrily.
"Imperial Envoy?" The lieutenant was originally a member of the capital camp, and he recognized the robes of the imperial guards. This showed that the dozens of knights were mostly officers and soldiers of the imperial guards, including several eunuchs.
, I believed in the identity of the visitors a little, but I did not let the cavalry enter the camp because of this. After just murmured, I immediately straightened my waist and pressed the handle of the knife around my waist.
, said calmly: "The military system is strictly instructed, and no horses should be driven in front of the military camp. Those who have tiger talismans are allowed to enter the camp without authorization. You said that you are the imperial envoy, how can you dismount without knowing the etiquette!"
"Bold, you..." The guard officer who was riding a horse in front obviously did not expect that a small officer in charge of guarding the gate would dare to contradict him. He was immediately furious and pulled out a horizontal knife from his waist.
He was trying to curse, but as soon as his actions came out, the guards at the gate were unsheathed, and arrows were slanted, and they were aimed at the cavalry. They were very disagreeable and immediately strangled.
The imperial guard officer who had never experienced the battle formation was trembling and could not continue to speak in half.
"Enough, step back!"
Just as the sword was tense, an old eunuch guarded by the knights scolded with a cold face, shouted the frightened guard officer with a silly voice, turned over and got off the horse's back, and walked slowly to the horns.
In front of him, holding the imperial edict in his hand, he raised it high above his head, and said in a deep voice: "The eunuch Gao Dacheng, come here according to His Majesty's order. If there is an urgent military situation, please inform King Xiang and King Chu immediately.
His Highness and the generals of the battalions came to receive the orders.”
"this……"
When the lieutenant heard that the person who came was the eunuch of Sili, he immediately became a little dizzy. You must know that although the eunuch had lost his power after he inherited the peace, he would be able to pass the power of the world during the Ping period.
As the emperor's personal eunuch leader, his power is still extremely great, at least he is not something that he, a small lieutenant, can be afforded. Moreover, this imperial edict was passed on to Xiang and the two kings of Chu, and it is not a turn.
He was a small lieutenant, but now King Xiang is not in the camp, and King Chu fell off his horse and was injured. How to report it really made the lieutenant on duty very troubled. For a moment, he didn't know what to do.
He was stunned on the spot.
"Who is making noise outside the camp?"
Just when the lieutenant was at a loss, a sudden shout sounded, and then, the soldiers who gathered at the gate separated from each other like waves, revealing a large number of god cavalry camps.
The general, who was walking in the front, was the "injured" King Xiao Rufeng of Chu.
"Report to the deputy commander, it's..."
Although the lieutenant was surprised by the sudden appearance of the King of Chu, he had no courage to ask what happened. He hurriedly trotted forward, saluted and asked for an explanation.
"Eunuch Gao, why did you get here? But does your father have the key to it?"
Xiao Rufeng ignored the explanation of the lieutenant on duty at all. Before he could finish his words, he strode to the deer antler and greeted Gao Dacheng with a smile on his face.
"I have seen Your Highness the King of Chu. Your Majesty has an order here. I also ask Your Highness to report to Your Highness Xiang and the generals of each battalion to come and receive the order." When Gao Dacheng saw the King of Chu, his face was still calm, but
However, there was a clear sign of relief in his eyes. He quickly bowed slightly, and Gao held the imperial edict and replied.
"Eunuch Gao doesn't know anything. His Highness Xiang went to Changling to pay homage to the temple early in the morning. He was afraid that he could return to the camp at dusk. It was really a coincidence." Xiao Rufeng's eyes were full of heat, but his face was deliberately "out of"
He looked embarrassed and explained in a false way.
"This..." Gao Dacheng was stunned for a moment, and shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It's too late, military affairs are urgent. Since Your Highness Xiang is not here, I will ask Your Highness the King of Chu to preside over the entire army. I will also ask Your Highness the King of Chu to summon everything quickly.
Will come to receive the order.”
"Well, that's fine." Xiao Rufeng sang for a moment and waved his hand and said, "Come here, immediately beat the drum and gather the generals. If the guerrilla generals above each battalion fail to have three drums, behead them!
”
With the absence of the commander Xiang Wang, Xiao Rufeng, as the deputy commander, was naturally the highest-ranking general in the army. After he issued an order, the crowd did not dare to be negligent. In a few moments, a group of god cavalry camps were
The soldiers then brought the drum of the gathering generals and placed it near the gate. A hammer was pounding like a hammer. The rumbling drum sound swung back and forth over the military camp. The originally quiet military camp was here in an instant
The generals of the battalions, who were not sure, were mostly confused and rushed towards the gate in a mess.
"What's going on? Who beats the drum?" In the central army's tent, Lei Hu, who was ordered to supervise the entire army, was discussing with several generals under King Xiang's subordinates how to stabilize the morale of the army before King Xiang's return. Suddenly, he heard gathering at the gate.
The drums roared, and immediately became a little hot. He rushed out of the tent in three steps and shouted angrily.
"Report, General Lei, the imperial envoy has arrived outside the gate. He said that there is an urgent military situation and that His Highness of the King of Chu beats the drums and gathers the generals." As soon as Lei Hu finished speaking, a guard of the Xiang Palace rushed over and rushed to report the report.
"Emergency Military Information?" Lei Hu murmured and arose an ominous premonition in his heart. He always felt that something was wrong with the smell here, so he hesitated and did not express his opinion. He did not say anything, and then he immediately came out without saying a word.
The generals in the central army's tent did not dare to make random comments, and they all looked at Lei Hu with eager eyes.
"Go, go and check what's wrong with the Divine Cavalry Camp."
The imperial edict has arrived. If you don’t accept it, you will resist the imperial edict and rebellion. But if you really want to accept it, Lei Hu is worried that there is a fraud. After a moment of dilemma, he gritted his teeth and shouted at the guards under the tent.
.
The Shenqi Camp was in Zuoying, not close to the central army's tent, but not far away. Lei Hu issued an order, and the guards of the royal palace did not dare to neglect them, and rushed to Zuo.
After a brief investigation, the camp quickly reported the details of the Zuo Camp, saying that except for the generals, the other officers and soldiers of the Shenqi Camp were in the camp and acted abnormally.
"General Lei, please give your order, and we will all listen to you."
"Yes, General Lei, since Your Highness ordered you to command the army, the last generals and others follow your leader."
"General Lei, please make a decision, let's listen."
Receiving the order is a major matter, and it must be ignored. When the generals saw Lei Hu not making a decision for a long time, they couldn't help but feel anxious, but they didn't dare to make a fuss. They could only make suggestions and ask Lei Hu to take it out.
Come on the right idea.
"Let's go, take a look!"
When Lei Hu heard that there was no abnormal movement in the Divine Cavalry Camp, he felt a little relieved, but he still felt that something might be strange, but he couldn't see what the problem was. When he was urging him, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
After getting anxious, he stomped his feet hatefully, waved his hands impatiently, and walked towards the gate. Seeing this, the generals looked at each other and had a better idea, so they had to hurry up.
Follow Lei Hu.
The sudden gathering drum sounded, not only Lei Hu and other generals were surprised. In the rear camp, Li Mingxin and other generals of the King of Yan, who had already gathered in Xiao Wei's tent, were also surprised, even if they were the sergeant generals.
The letter of approval came back to send the order, and the generals were suspicious and believed that there must be something strange about it. However, after a long dispute, they never made any sense of how to deal with it.
The second drum was about to stop, and the generals couldn't help but feel anxious.
"It's enough, she's not going to fight. Old Li, I'm so stupid. Since Your Highness has handed over the military power to you, you're talking. It's been so late, and I still want to do it!"
Yan Tieta's eyes were red with anger and roared, suppressing all the generals' voices, staring at Li Mingxin with his eyes silently.
"Random" shouted.
"Yes, Hengcheng, since Your Highness Xu Er leads the army, you will make a decision."
"Hengcheng, now it's time to make a decision!"
"If the person comes is not good, and the good person does not come, then the tall and great success will definitely be a good thing. Be careful of changes!"
Yan Tieta shouted, Yan Yunxiang, Bai Changshan and other generals noticed that Li Mingxin had never spoken. After the generals were silent for a moment, they all started to urge them.
All the generals were anxious, Li Mingxin was actually even more anxious, just because he was responsible for leading the army, and the burden on him was really heavier than that of other generals. Besides, Xiao Wei just told him to adapt to the situation and did not leave any definiteness.
The way to deal with it is up to him to decide everything. Once the decision is made, the consequences are simply unimaginable. How dare Li Mingxin make such a decision easily? However, time doesn't wait for anyone, and the second drum has stopped listening, Li Mingxin won't
Dare to hesitate more, he stood up suddenly, glanced at the generals in the tent, gritted his teeth, held the arrow that Xiao Wei gave him in his hand, and said fiercely: "Your Highness's seal is here, and the generals obey the order!"
As soon as Li Mingxin said this, the generals bowed and stood up, and the atmosphere in the tent suddenly became tense...
