The intention of the Zhong family's rebellion seems to be obvious.
The Western army came out together, and Yan Qing's expression changed suddenly. He immediately took out a rocket from his arms and ignited into the sky.
Wang Lin quietly stared at the origin of tens of thousands of Western troops, frowned.
Really reversed?
He does not think that Master Tian can accomplish anything.
Ten thousand cavalry of the Tiger God Guard, 50,000 from Yue Fei, 30,000 from Suo Chao, 20,000 from Han Shizhong, and 110,000 from the Eastern Army surrounded by three sides. There was no possibility of luck in the Zhong Family Army.
Wang Lin did not believe that Master Zhong led his army for a lifetime and could not see through this.
But he did it anyway.
Should I take the risk or be confused?
Or, are you wrapped up by the children of a farmer and have no choice but to do it?
Ma Xiong was excited. He turned around and looked at the approaching of the main force of the Western Army. His fear of Wang Lin instantly dissipated, and he turned around and ran away.
Wang Lin's mouth was cold, and he once again put a bow on his back, and shot out a whizzing arrow, piercing through Ma Xiong's throat.
Blood splattered, Ma Xiong covered the wound with his hand and took a few steps back, then fell down with a bang.
The middle-aged officers under Han Shizhong ordered the flag to fly, and Han Shizhong's troops immediately moved all the troops to line up.
The north wind whistled between heaven and earth, a vast and solemn aura, the last ray of setting sun fell, and night gradually approached.
Wang Lin was immediately in front of the formation with a spear.
The two armies were beating and bright, as bright as the day.
Han Shizhong roared angrily: "Zhong Hao, how dare you send troops without the order of the commander of the commander, and you are trying to rebel?"
Zhong Hao immediately said with a sigh: "We sent troops to ask the King of Yan in person why we forced our Western Army to come here and why we wanted to kill our Zong family!
If the king of Yan can’t understand what happened today, we should go south to the capital to attack Nadeng Wengu and make a fuss for my family army! I don’t believe it, there is no place to reason in this glorious Song Dynasty!”
Wang Linqi said: "When will you kill all your family in the family? Just because I asked you to investigate the empty salary in the Western Army?"
Zhong Hao sneered: "There are all problems in the empty salary for years, and the entire army has been involved, and it is not the one who is my family army. The King of Yan openly investigates the empty salary, but in fact he is just using my family to take action against me to avenge his personal revenge."
Wang Lin laughed: "Zhong Hao, Gu is really curious. Just because you are just 30,000 soldiers, you dare to bargain with me here... You wouldn't think that our hundreds of thousands of troops in the East Army are here
, are they all decorations?"
"Where is the way of Master Zhong?"
Zhong Hao was solemn: "This matter has nothing to do with my father, nor has it to do with the rest of the Zong family."
"What a tiger talisman that has nothing to do with Master Zhong... If you don't have Master Zhong, can you mobilize a large army? Zhong Hao, isn't it too naive for your family to do this trick that will make you lose your mind?"
Zhong Hao laughed at the sky: "We have to use military advice to seek survival, that's all. King Yan, if you can't leave a way for my Western army, then we can only fight to the death, even if we fight to the last soldier,
Never bear to live in humiliation!”
"Soldiers' advice..." Wang Lin smiled coldly and said sarcastically: "Use the military and horses of the court to defend the selfish interests of the Zong family?"
Wang Lin suddenly shouted loudly and used the tiger roar skill: "You all the troops, can you tell that the family of Zang has been drinking blood of soldiers and ate empty salary for more than a hundred years, and has become a rich man in the world?
If you are a private soldier, you should punish the nine clans for rebellion! You are all elite troops of the Western Army in the court. Are you willing to follow the thief, not only to save your own lives, but also to harm your wife, children and young people?"
Wang Lin's words shocked the military formation and naturally greatly shocked the morale of the Western Army.
After all, the Western Army is an enemy of Wang Lin and the 250,000 Eastern Army, which is obviously a dead end.
Therefore, although the formation of the Western Army was not chaotic, the soldiers had already had other ideas in their minds.
Zhong Hao took risks today, so naturally it was impossible for Wang Lin to stop just one or two words. He raised the flag in his hand and mobilized the three Western troops to cover the 20,000 Eastern troops to kill Han Shizhong.
The Zhong family naturally knew that Wang Lin set up three armies in advance to encircle the Western Army. Now they can only try to defeat Han Shizhong's army in the shortest time, and then leave the Zhending battlefield in the shortest time, head south to Sichuan and Sichuan, and defect to the
The eighth son of the emperor, Zhao Qi.
Previously, Zhong Shidao received a secret letter from Tang Ke and Geng Nanzhong.
That's why he decided to use mutiny as an excuse, and took the opportunity to flee south, and joined Tang Ke, Geng Nanzhong and others to support the eighth son of the emperor, Zhao Qu, as the emperor.
However, Zhong Hao and others made a lot of calculations, but they miscalculated the actual combat power of the East Army and Wang Lin's determination to take down the Western Army at all costs.
On this cold New Year's Eve, a shocking shout of killing suddenly came outside Zhending Mansion. The people who were reuniting in the city were shocked and rushed out of their homes, at a loss.
I almost thought it was the Jin people who invaded again.
The three Western Army and Han Shizhong's troops were slightly entangled, and before they could break through, the retreat was already blocked by Yue Fei on the left, Suo Chao on the right, and the Tiger God Guard Ten Thousand Cavalry.
...
Western Army Camp.
Wu Jie and Wu Lin, Zhe Keke asked Yao Gu and other Western generals to see the sudden change and could no longer hold back. They lit up hundreds of their own soldiers and rushed straight to the central army tent of Zhong Shidao.
As a military general, he was guilty of waiting for change and standing by and watching.
Zhong Shidao's central army tent was surrounded by the remaining 1,000 Western troops.
Wu Jie and Wu Lin led their own troops to fight hard, kill the Western army, and rushed into the tent. Then they found that it turned out that the Zong Shidao and some of the descendants of the Zong family had grown bravely, planted streams, planted sweets, and Cao Ping and Yang Ke.
The generals under Shishi and others were firmly tied up with linen in their mouths.
Wu Jie stepped forward and cut off the rope that bound the Zhong Shidao with a knife, pulled off the cloth from Zhong Shidao's mouth, and said hurriedly: "Old Master Zhong, do you know that Zhong Hao and others have led the Western Army out of their nests without authorization and went out with the East.
The army was fighting in one place, and at this moment at least 100,000 troops surrounded the Western Army..."
Master Zhong's head trembled and his face was pale.
Wu Lin frowned and said, "Why did the old husband be so confused? He provoked a civil war in our army, and the injured were all elite troops of the imperial court. If tens of thousands of Western troops were all destroyed by this, what would the old husband be like in the future?
The ancestors and ancestors below?"
Zhe Keqiu and Yao Gu also bowed and cried bitterly, "Old Master, you should take action to eliminate the war and save our Western Army soldiers!"
Mr. Zhong trembled all over and looked up at the sky and let out a helpless cry: "My family of Zong was born of this evil and unfilial sons. He led his army to rebel and ruined the reputation of our family of Zong for a hundred years. It is really worth mercy to die!"
...
Although Zhong Shidao brought people to the battle formation and suppressed the Western Army with his personal prestige and stopped the sudden civil war, after this, the Western Army lost two or three thousand people, and the Eastern Army also suffered more than a thousand casualties.
Mainly Han Shizhong's troops.
In fact, if the Zhong Shidao appears one hour later, most of the 30,000 Western Army will be wiped out on the spot.
The dawn of the New Year is about to break through the deep night.
Grand Marshal's Mansion.
Wang Lin gathers together to join the generals.
The generals were divided into two groups, Zhong Hao and Zhong Wei, and Guo Shun and the other two knelt under the patriarch's case. Zhong Shidao also led the children of the Zong family to tie themselves up and kneel in the hall.
No one dared to plead for the family.
Wang Lin's face was indifferent and he pondered without saying a word.
He was considering whether Master Zhong was trying hard to deal with or taking it seriously for Zhong Hao and the other two to make their own decisions.
If Zhong Hao succeeds, Zhong Shidao and some of the children of the Zong family will be deprived of military power at most, but they can still save their lives and will not harm the reputation of the entire Zong family.
After all, it was the few children of the Zhong family who rebeled.
If the eighth son of the emperor Zhao Qi ascends the throne in the future, the Zhong family will make a comeback one day.
Wang Lin believes that the probability of the former is quite high.
But probably what Zhong Shidao and the Zong family did not expect was that Zhong Hao's purpose of fleeing south by the Western Army was not achieved, so he had to come forward to protect the lives of most of the children of the Zong family.
But this is not the key to the problem.
The key is that after this, Wang Lin could never hand over the more than 20,000 Western Army to the hands of his family.
Wang Lin looked around the generals of the Western Army with a deep look, and flew past the four of Zhe Keqiu, Yao Gu, Cao Ping and Yang Keshi.
The person who can find it can be found is the person who can find it.
Cao Ping is a member of the Cao family.
Yang Keshi's ancestors were also famous Yang family members and famous Yang family members.
They are all descendants of the great Song Dynasty martial honors.
The above four people were so excited.
The situation is obvious at this time. The Zong family will be taken down by the clan and replaced by the commander of the army. In order to ensure the internal stability of the Western Army, the King of Yan may choose one of them from the four of them to take office.
The four people have similar qualifications and military achievements.
Wang Lin thought about it over and over again and made up his mind.
Wang Lin's eyes were sharp and said calmly: "Old Zhun Gong, your son Zonghao, your nephew and grandson Zongwei, your general Guo Shun and his three men were dispatched troops to rebel without authorization, and their crimes should be punished. I want to kill these three men to correct the military discipline, you
Convinced?"
Zhong Hao and the other two had a long ambition to die, and they knew they would not be spared, but they did not pretend to be sneering when they heard this.
Zhong Shidao Cang trembled slightly: "My family of Zhong has committed this evil and violated military law. I should use military law to engage in it. I am convinced. The 14 people in my family of Zhong are allowed to be dealt with by the King of Yan!"
"Haha..." Wang Lin smiled indifferently: "If you think that the family of the family has made contributions to the country, you will not be able to enforce the law of this matter.
But Mr. Zhong, after this, your family can no longer be a general in the Western Army. I am lonely, so how about you resigning from your military post. How about returning home and retreating? I will leave you with a decent family for you."
Mr. Zhong was crying and knew that today was the day when the Zhong family army collapsed. At this moment, there was no room for any rebound, so he could only accept his life and save his life.
The Zhong family was taken out of the Marshal's Mansion.
Wang Lin looked around the generals and said in a deep voice: "The Western Army cannot be without generals for a day. I will report to the court today. I will temporarily call the governor of Shun'an Army and command the Western Army of the original Zhong Shidao.
In ancient times, he was the deputy envoy of the Jiedushi and the Bazhou Observer."
Zhe Keqiu and Yao Gu were overjoyed and hurried out to thank him: "Thank you for your support, and I will obey your order!"
"This Western Army is unruly and its combat effectiveness is only average. I hope you can work together and manage this army and not cause trouble again."
"Dare not to serve the prince!"
Wang Lin's eyes were deep: "You can't do anything about eating empty salary and drinking blood from soldiers in the future. But please rest assured that you will contribute to the country. Neither the court nor the people of the Song Dynasty will let the soldiers who bleed and sacrificed on the front line suffer losses.
.”
Zhe Keqiu bowed with Yao Gushen: "The last general should only obey the prince's order!"
...
Yan Qing accompanied Wang Lin back to the palace. On the way, Yan Qing chuckled and said, "I thought the prince would replace him with Liu Guangshi."
Wang Lin shook his head: "No. Liu Yanqing is in charge of the East and West He Army. If Liu Guangshi is allowed to control the Western Army of the Zhe Shidao alone, the Liu family will be the second Zhe family in the future. The harm is very far-reaching, so you must be careful."
