After dark, the place suddenly became tense. Fu Ma Lu Shun suddenly arrived with a group of soldiers. "Send the order and close the military camp. No one can enter or leave without a military order. Anyone who violates it will be executed! We also have thousands of households in the army." The above generals went to the big tent to discuss matters."
Lu Shun, who was dressed in armor, said as he strode towards the main camp. When he entered the main tent, a group of soldiers surrounded the place. Everyone pressed their swords with their right hands and made a gesture. It looks like the sword can be unsheathed at any time.
After a while, five of the ten thousand captains of the Silver Armored Guard arrived. As soon as they entered the main tent, they saw Lu Shun sitting on the throne staring at them closely.
Lu Shun was a military attache, and he used to have the job of patrolling the Silver Armored Guards. Naturally, the four captains here knew him. Seeing the horses coming, everyone stood on both sides, looking very well-behaved. In my mind, I was thinking, why didn't I see their commander-in-chief, Shi Hongyun?
Shi Hongyun is the real General of the Silver Armored Guards. He is a person whom Emperor Qianwen has great trust. He is also the only general in the Daqian Dynasty who can mobilize the Silver Armored Guards without using the tiger talisman. Usually everyone is used to following his lead, but now they have not seen him. When seeing General Shi, it is inevitable that there will be some drumming in my heart.
Lu Shun, who was sitting on the main seat, seemed to have seen what everyone was thinking, and said with a smile, "General Shi has other important matters. He is currently in the palace listening to the lectures of His Majesty and the Crown Prince. He The duties are temporarily led by Ben Fu Ma. Of course, this is not that General Shi has done anything wrong. Ben Fu Ma is only taking charge of the military duties for one night. He will still hand over the duties at dawn, and there is no need for everyone to do more. Heart."
That's it. After the four captains heard this, they all showed relieved looks on their faces. As long as the generals were not changed, they had nothing to worry about. After all, if something happened to Shi Hongyun, the upper-level military power of the Silver Armored Guards would also Natural changes occur, and problems will inevitably arise in the positions of the four captains of ten thousand. Even if it is just a one-night errand, they don't have to worry so much, and they will naturally feel relaxed.
The atmosphere in the tent was no longer as tense as before. Fu Ma Lu took the opportunity to say: "According to the order of the prince, no one is allowed to leave the camp tonight without a military order. Violators will be punished according to military law. Come on, let's take a look. Prince's handwriting."
On the large seal of the East Palace, the words written with almost the same words as what Lu Shun said were written on the rice paper and passed one by one from the hands of the four captains of ten thousand men.
This was not an imperial edict, but a handwriting from the prince. After the four of them looked at each other, they nodded slightly, obviously approving the decision.
If it were normal times, the prince's decree would not be able to control the Silver Armored Guards who guard Daliang City. But now, who doesn't know that the emperor has handed over the military power of the Silver Armored Guards to the prince's hands, and only needs a tiger talisman to mobilize troops? Doesn't that mean The prince will be their master sooner or later, how can they remain unconcerned with what the prince says?
Besides, they are not asked to send troops to do anything, but just stay in the military camp as ordered. Even if it does not involve the deployment of troops, the prince's decree can play a role in controlling them. Who will stand up and express opposition?
None of the four captains had any intention of questioning it. Seeing it in Fu Ma’s eyes, they naturally made him very happy. They immediately said: “Come here, bring the good wine and food you have prepared. I, Fu Ma and all the generals You won’t come home until you’re drunk, hahaha.”
"Okay!" The four captains all agreed loudly and happily. Who can sit in their position and not be a person who is tested by alcohol? As a martial artist, he usually has no other hobbies except practicing martial arts. Drinking becomes something they like.
Soon, the soldiers who had prepared food and drinks filled the table with delicacies. The atmosphere in the main tent was lively, and the sound of clinking wine bowls could be heard all the time.
Outside the Yinjiawei barracks, Zhongcheng Hou Shen Yunyi came on horseback. He had a good relationship with Shi Hongyun, and he was originally full of confidence in whether he could mobilize troops. But when he arrived outside the barracks, he was rarely blocked outside.
"A certain Marquis Zhongcheng, please ask General Shi to come out and speak." Shen Yunyi, who reined in his horse, said in a loud voice.
Usually after such a shouting, a silver-armored guard would come into the camp to report. After all, the name of Marquis Zhongcheng was very resounding among the generals. However, no one did this today. There was only one person responsible for guarding the main entrance of the camp. Deputy Qianhu came forward, clasped his fists and said, "Deputy Qianhu Xiaoke has met Marquis Zhongcheng. There is a military order. No one is allowed to enter or leave the camp tonight. If something happens, Marquis Zhongcheng is asked to come back tomorrow." "
Xiao Ke, Deputy Qianhu of the Silver Armored Guards, is also a general. The former Xiao family also made military exploits for the great dynasty. It is a pity that the Xiao family are short-lived ghosts. The older generation is no longer alive, and the younger generation Xiao Ke has not yet grown up, and Xiao Ke has reached this painless position now.
Shen Yunyi knew the Xiao family and had even met Xiao Ke. I remember that when Xiao's father passed away, he begged Shen Yunyi, who was visiting him, and asked him to help take care of the Xiao family heirs, so the two of them not only We are friends, and we often have drinks together, so we have a good relationship.
Seeing that the person walking out was Xiao Ke, Shen Yunyi got off his horse, walked to his side and asked in a low voice, "What's the situation? Is the military camp under martial law? But has the emperor ordered it?"
Shen Yunyi thought, if this was the emperor's intention, then the emperor obviously also got the news of the Jin army entering the city. In this case, he didn't have to worry about it. Even the emperor knew about it and made arrangements. There's no need to worry about it.
"It's not an imperial order, but Ma Lushun came with the prince's handwriting. Now he is having a drink with four captains of ten thousand men in the main tent. He said that no one can give an order without an order, otherwise it will be dealt with according to military law. By the way. , Mr. Hou, General Shi is not in the military camp. He went out when it was getting dark. It seems that he went to the East Palace." Xiao Ke stepped forward and reported everything he knew about the situation. Compared with After Fu Ma Lu Shun, Marquis Zhongcheng was considered one of his own.
"Prince? Lu Shun? East Palace?" Marquis Zhongcheng thought silently in his heart, and then his eyes suddenly widened. He seemed to have figured out something, and said hurriedly: "Thank you, Deputy Xiao Qianhu, for your advice."
"I don't dare. Serving for the Marquis is all Xiao Ke should do."
"Okay, you stay here for now. I have something important to do and need to leave first." Marquis Zhongcheng already felt that the atmosphere tonight was wrong, but without any evidence, he couldn't do anything, let alone Rushing into the military camp to find Fu Ma Lu Shun's theory. Breaking into the military camp without permission is a serious crime. People can use this as an excuse to punish themselves. If it is like that, it is really justified and there is no way to defend it.
Even if you can't enter the camp to speak, you can go to the East Palace to find General Shi Hongyun. As long as you get his support, in the Silver Armor Guards' camp, his orders will be much more useful than the prince's handwriting.
Marquis Zhongcheng turned around and mounted his horse and left, leaving Xiao Ke watching his leaving figure with hope in his eyes. He also felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the military camp tonight, but he was in a low position and could not do anything.
So he had no choice but to tell Marquis Zhongcheng what he knew, hoping to help him. After this, he could be considered to have some merit.
...
Daliang Nancheng Military Camp.
Four thousand Jin cavalry are stationed here, led by General Weng Youqi himself.
It is not true that there were four thousand Jin troops. All the weapons in their hands were confiscated. From a certain point of view, they can no longer be regarded as an army, they can only be said to be brave.
For this matter, the four thousand Jin troops had a lot of opinions. How could a soldier be called a soldier or a warrior if he didn't even have a weapon? For this reason, I don't know how many people complained. If it weren't for Weng Youqi's prestige in the army
If it is very high or if it is suppressed forcefully, some friction incidents will inevitably occur.
The consequences of forced suppression cannot solve all problems. On the contrary, the voice of resistance is getting louder and louder. Until tonight, the leader of the hundred officials, Zuo Pushe Xia Youran, suddenly visited the military camp after dark. Those Jin soldiers
After learning his identity, everyone complained loudly.
Accompanying Xia Youran was Qiu Bang, another captain of the Silver Armored Guards. He didn't know why Zuo Pushe suddenly visited. He had not received any news before, but he was the head of the hundred officials, that is,
When Ran came, he accompanied him out of dignity.
Now seeing that the 4,000 Jin troops who had been under house arrest were complaining with unkind expressions on their faces, and how unseemly this noisy appearance was, he was about to order the silver-armored guards to be sent into the camp to make these Jin troops more honest.
Before he could give the order, Xia Youran on the side spoke first, "What's going on? Why are they confiscating their weapons? We are all Daqian sergeants, don't we even have this little trust?"
Xia Youran's question made Qiu Meng look confused. He answered instinctively, "Master Xia, this is your Majesty's intention. It was Eunuch Yan Fu who came to announce the order."
"Do you also know that it was at the beginning? Then do you know that before closing the city today, the five generals of the Jin army have entered the city. They are preparing to hand over military power. Do you think that if they are allowed to see their Jin army?
How will the soldiers feel when they are treated so unfairly? Will it miss His Majesty's plan?" Xia Youran asked with a prepared look.
In terms of words, how could Qiu Rong be Xia Youran's opponent? In addition, the reasons given by others were reasonable, and for a while Qiu Rong didn't know what to answer.
"Hmph! How come a captain of ten thousand men doesn't even know how to adapt to this situation? After all, the Silver Armored Guards have ten thousand troops here, and the Jin army only has four thousand. How can we be afraid of them?
Distribute weapons immediately." Xia Youran said pretending to be very angry.
"This... should we report it to the superiors?" Qiu Yu didn't completely agree, but facing Zuo Pushe, he didn't object directly. Instead, he thought about reporting to the superiors and handing over the problem.
