According to the results of previous negotiations, at three o'clock on the same day, Ma Zhu, Zhang Zhuang, Zheng Bolun and others will lead their Liaodong cavalry to evacuate the former Forbidden Army station, lay down their weapons, take off their body armor, and completely give up all resistance.
Accept the imprisonment arranged by Huang Shenming.
At the same time, Huang Shenming promised that he would never abuse or humiliate the other party, but also ensured their daily food supply. He had to wait until the senior military attachés in Liaodong Town collectively discussed their crimes and punishments...
In addition, Huang Shenming also wanted to return Shicheng to them and imprison him in the same place.
In short, the result of such negotiations can be said to be that everyone gets what he needs. Those Liaodong cavalry who launched the mutiny did not gain anything, at least their temporary safety with Shicheng was ensured, while Huang Shenming himself gained face.
Prestige, and achievements.
So, at the quarter past three o'clock, Huang Shenming rushed outside the former Forbidden Army station on time, waiting impatiently for Ma Zhu, Zhang Zhuang, Zheng Bolun and others to show up and surrender to him.
In order to demonstrate his achievements and prestige, Huang Shenming also specially invited many middle- and lower-level military attachés in the camp to attend and witness.
Therefore, when Huang Shenming appeared, he was accompanied by many Liaodong military attachés, such as Zhang Yiyang, Ma Bi, Qin Yebai and others from the Liaodong Cavalry Hundreds - these people were all middle-level military attachés of the Liaodong Cavalry who were loyal to Li Shijie; and for example,
Several private military leaders of the Liaodong generals, such as Xie Changde of the Qianhu in the North Road Defense Area, Bai Yong of the Qianhu in the South Road Defense Area, Pang Wushang of the Qianhu in the East Road Defense Area, etc.
In addition, Huang Shenming also invited Huang Ke, the inspector-general of Liaodong, to watch and witness together.
In fact, Huang Shenming originally wanted to summon several Forbidden Army military attachés to the scene, but those Forbidden Army military attachés directly rejected Huang Shenming's summons, saying that all the Forbidden Army officers and soldiers were captured and imprisoned for two or three days because of the mutiny.
, now they have just escaped from trouble, and the morale of the soldiers is unstable, so they must stay at the station and try their best to stabilize the morale of the soldiers, and it is not convenient to be there.
Huang Shenming was naturally very dissatisfied with the explanation given by the Forbidden Army military attachés. He believed that he had rescued these Forbidden Army soldiers and was their great benefactor, so they should obey his words.
But in the end, Huang Shenming did not force it. After all, he was only the general of Liaodong Town and had no right to command these Forbidden Army soldiers. Moreover, he just wanted to establish prestige within Liaodong Town, so as long as representatives of all forces in Liaodong Town were present to witness.
Well, as for whether representatives of the Forbidden Army appeared or not, it was just a detail.
Compared with these Forbidden Army military attachés, what makes Huang Shenming even more annoyed is that those military attaches in the West Road Defense Zone who had betrayed him, such as Zhang Shuncheng, Li Hong and others from Qianhu in the West Road Defense Zone, also found various reasons for not doing so.
After showing up, Huang Shenming was obviously determined to avoid Huang Shenming as much as possible, so Huang Shenming issued military orders on the spot, further reducing the logistics supply of these people, and threatened to severely punish them in public for disobeying military orders.
However, Huang Shenming will soon regret these decisions!
*
Seeing that the third quarter of Mao hour is approaching, Ma Zhu, Zhang Zhuang, Zheng Bolun and others have begun to command their Liaodong cavalry to assemble the entire team, abandon their troops and disarm, and have also canceled all alerts. They will formally surrender at any time. The people gathered around Huang Shenming
The military attachés from Liaodong expressed their congratulations one after another.
"Congratulations to General Huang Shen for successfully quelling this mutiny. What a great achievement!"
"When He Qianhu, the bandit, and the generals return to the camp and see General Huang Shen's achievements in quickly quelling the mutiny, they will definitely take a high look."
"All the frontier officers and soldiers who serve as representatives of the East Road Defense Area hereby declare that as long as you, General Huang Shen, do not want to investigate my general's camp again, you will definitely cooperate with General Huang Shen's military orders!"
Hearing the compliments from the Liaodong military attachés, who all expressed their submissiveness in a subtle way, Huang Shenming couldn't help but smile, feeling that he had taken full control of the situation in the camp.
Feeling proud, Huang Shenming secretly thought: "The next step... is to find a way to deal with the traitors in the West Road Defense Zone who betrayed me!
Humph! That's all the Forbidden Army. I can't control them originally, but those traitors dared to disobey the general's orders and avoided them one after another. They really didn't know how to live or die!...Next, whether it is Zhang Shuncheng or Li
Hong, I must make them look good!
Reducing their logistics supply again is only the first step. I will also arrange all kinds of thankless and heavy tasks for them. When all the soldiers under their command are complaining, it will be the time when I will punish them..."
Just as Huang Shenming was thinking about it, Huang Ke, the Liaodong inspector on the side, couldn't help but asked: "Excuse me, General Huang, has the whereabouts of Zhao Gechen been found so far? Zhao Gechen has been missing for more than two days.
This is no small matter! We must search with all our strength!"
When asking, Huang Ke's expression and tone were extremely anxious.
After several "heart-to-heart" conversations, Huang Ke already regarded Zhao Junchen as his target, and even pinned his life aspirations on Zhao Junchen. Therefore, after Zhao Junchen disappeared, Huang Ke was
The most anxious and worried person in the whole camp.
Hearing Huang Ke's inquiry, Huang Shenming's expression was a little strange, and he shook his head and said: "I am also particularly concerned about the whereabouts of Zhao Gechen. I search the entire camp every day, digging deep into the ground... but I still can't find anything.
Found traces of Zhao Gechen!
However, Mr. Huang, you don’t have to worry too much. I have already interviewed Ma Zhu, Zhang Zhuang, Zheng Bolun and others in detail. After they launched the mutiny, they did not see Zhao Gechen, and it was impossible to cause any harm to Zhao Gechen. Therefore, Zhao Gechen should
After we saw the mutiny happening, we hid in a place we didn't expect in time. At most, we were a little frightened. As the general successfully quelled the mutiny, maybe Zhao Gechen will appear soon!"
As he spoke, Huang Shenming frowned slightly and felt that he could not just protect Zhao Junchen like this and should let Zhao Junchen show up in public.
Huang Ke interrupted Huang Shenming's thoughts again, and said worriedly: "But after hearing all kinds of rumors, I am still a little worried... Although those rumors sound ridiculous, they may not necessarily be wrong.
It will happen, what should we do if those rumors come true?"
Huang Shenming was stunned for a moment and asked: "Rumors? What rumors?"
In the past two days, Huang Shenming had only been focusing on negotiations and establishing prestige, and had not paid attention to the various rumors in the camp. Only after hearing Huang Ke's statement did he know what was going on in the camp.
There are rumors spreading everywhere.
On the other side, after hearing Huang Shenming's rhetorical question, it was everyone's turn to be surprised. They did not expect that the relevant rumors would spread so widely, but Huang Shenming did not receive the news from the beginning to the end.
You must know that it is a basic duty for generals to pay timely attention to the remarks and mentality of their officers and soldiers.
Then, everyone explained the specific content of the relevant rumors to Huang Shenming in detail, that is, "After Zhao Junchen saw the mutiny, he fled into the dense forest in a panic. Then he was discovered by the kidnappers and was kidnapped again. Now he is suffering
All kinds of torture, maybe he died tragically at the hands of the kidnappers" and so on.
After hearing various versions of the relevant rumors, Huang Shenming certainly disagreed.
Where is Zhao Junchen hiding now? Others don’t know, but he doesn’t know? What’s said about “Zhao Junchen fled into the dense forest and was kidnapped again” or even “died tragically at the hands of the kidnappers after being tortured” is simply a piece of cake.
Nonsense.
However, while not taking it seriously, Huang Shenming had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
After all, the relevant rumors spread so fast. It spread throughout the entire camp in just over a day, and many people believed it... It was as if there was a mastermind behind the scenes, trying hard to promote this rumor everywhere.
Spread generally.
Although Huang Shenming is not shrewd, he still has some knowledge. Naturally, he understands the abnormality of this phenomenon. No matter how exaggerated ordinary rumors are, they cannot spread so quickly.
Unfortunately, before Huang Shenming could think about it carefully, it was already three o'clock. The Liaodong cavalry who launched the mutiny also began to evacuate the former Forbidden Army garrison in batches, preparing to formally surrender to Huang Shenming.
After seeing this situation, Huang Shenming quickly put aside his doubts and wanted to prioritize the major matter in front of him.
However, just as Huang Shenming was about to take a step forward and accept the public surrender of Ma Zhu, Zhang Zhuang, Zheng Bolun and others, he suddenly saw Song Hui, a subordinate of Qianhu, rushing towards him on a fast horse.
Just like that, he ran directly to Huang Shenming. Song Hui immediately got off his horse and loudly reported: "General Huang Shen, something bad is going wrong! Something bad is going wrong!"
Huang Shenming was shocked and asked quickly: "What happened?"
Song Hui explained anxiously: "Those soldiers of the Forbidden Army actually believed the rumors and thought that Zhao Gechen was currently being tortured by the kidnappers in the dense forest, so they rushed out of their station without warning, saying that they wanted to enter the dense forest.
Among them, rescue Zhao Gechen!"
"What?! The Lord Commander is still in the dense forest and is still controlled by the kidnappers! Just let the Imperial Guards rush directly into the dense forest. What should we do if the kidnappers are stimulated and the safety of the Lord Commander is endangered?
Hurry! Send someone to stop them!"
After hearing the report, Huang Shenming jumped up on the spot and shouted the order.
Song Hui smiled bitterly and said: "After Beizhi heard the news, he immediately sent out troops, trying to stop the Forbidden Army's actions first, but... Zhang Shuncheng, Li Hong and others saw that Beizhi suddenly sent troops passing near their station.
, they mistakenly thought that you, General Huang Shen, wanted to attack them, and reacted extremely fiercely. Before the blocking troops sent by the humble post saw the imperial army, they clashed with Zhang Shuncheng, Li Hong and others, but were blocked instead!
