Chapter 238: Rebellion
Jiang Moyan and their patrol lasted for five days, and it was not until the sixth day that they were assigned to Nancheng to guard the city gate. www.biquge.info Jiang Moyan carefully recorded the defense of the city gate along the way, and even recorded the number of guards in each position and the time of changing defenses very clearly. Bao Jianfeng took the initiative to talk to the city gate officials, and spent a few taels of silver to invite those people to a drink.
Zhao Nianzu, who went out to drink for everyone, took a trip to the inn by the way, and got the news that those people had mixed into the cavalry camp, and came back with peace of mind.
Seeing Zhao Nianzu enter the door, Jiang Moyan beckoned everyone to come over and drink. Someone suddenly broke in at the door, and said in a disfigured voice: "Brothers, it's not good, I got the letter today, and I'm going to fight." β
"What?"
"What's going on? Say it! β
Everyone came over one after another, and all of them looked a little ugly.
Jiang Moyan hurriedly called him over and sat down, took a cup of tea and gave him a smooth breath, and then asked, "What's going on?" β
"One of my fellow villagers is a personal soldier in the Governor's Mansion, and the news he just came from said that the Southern Expeditionary Army sent someone to send a letter, asking us to cooperate with them in attacking the Donghuang Army in Dingzhou City. You say, "Isn't this going to war?" β
When Jiang Moyan and the others heard this, their hearts were shocked. Although they had expected this matter, they were still a little surprised when it came to the front, this Ada Khan's reaction speed was really fast!
Zheng Qi asked worriedly: "Then General Feng agreed to send troops?" β
The man shook his head and said, "I just received the letter today, and if he can't send troops, how will he know about it?" β
Someone else said: "I don't think you need to worry, the 'Feng Jun San' is so afraid of death, he will definitely not send troops." β
"That's not necessarily, who is the commander of the Southern Expeditionary Army? The jade-faced prince! General Feng dared to disobey his orders? β
Jiang Moyan didn't answer, but he agreed with this statement in his heart. What to do, the battle is about to start, and they can't wait any longer. Jiang Moyan looked at Bao Jianfeng, just in time to see the same look cast by the other party. Their eyes met in mid-air, and they quickly understood what each other meant.
Jiang Moyan said first: "Everyone, if this battle really starts, we will be miserable!" β
Bao Jianfeng also said: "It's not! If the Donghuang army rushes over, he will definitely be the first to run, leaving us people to be the target of arrows. β
"Isn't it? They can hide if they are afraid, but how can we hide? Let you go wherever you want, and let you do whatever you want. The most dangerous things are the business of our infantry, and it is we who die the most in every battle. Heyβ"
For those who are afraid of war, they are most afraid that someone will stir up negative emotions. Now listening to Bao Jianfeng and the others say this, they all showed expressions of disgruntle and worry.
Zhao Nianzu also interjected: "If you want me to say, let's run away!" β
"To put it simply, being a deserter is not fun, once caught, it is a capital crime!" Zheng Qi said dejectedly.
"Can you live on the battlefield? Didn't you say that the battle in Dingzhou was almost wiped out? Those who came back alive were killed. He didn't die on the battlefield, but at the hands of his own people. β
I don't know who said first: "If it really doesn't work, let's surrender!" β
As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent and looked at the person in a daze. "What are you looking at me for? Isn't it stupid to rush up even though you know it's a death? β
Jiang Moyan was overjoyed in his heart, and when he was dozing, someone sent a pillow. She was the first to say: "It's not impossible. It's just that we just want to surrender, and people have to be willing to ask for us? Do any of you know the Donghuang Army? β
Everyone shook their heads, no one was matchmaking, and there was nowhere to surrender.
Bao Jianfeng saw that everyone's emotions were almost mobilized, so he said: "I have a fellow who works in the cavalry camp, and I heard him say that he seems to have a distant relative working on the side of the Donghuang Army, but I don't know if I can get in touch." β
People are like that, in a certain atmosphere, it is easy to be swayed by established thinking. These people were just complaining, but somehow, the conversation was led by others, and they were really worried about the problem of not finding a way to surrender. Everyone urged Bao Jianfeng to find someone quickly, and it was best to find a relationship immediately, so as to leave a way back for himself.
Bao Jianfeng deliberately pretended to be embarrassed, and only reluctantly agreed after repeated urging.
Jiang Moyan said again: "We are like us, one has no military power and the other is incapable, and I don't know if the Donghuang people will agree to us." β
Bao Jianfeng also said: "Yes, what the second brother said is reasonable, according to me, let's find more people, more people are powerful, everyone can find a way together, and there will be more chances to live." β
"Okay, I'll go find Wang San'er next door, he is most afraid of death, let him call all the brothers in their barracks, if it doesn't work, let's go find some people separately." Don't worry, almost all of our people here have been forcibly recruited, and few of them really want to fight. Zheng Shuang was the most positive one.
Others also said that they could talk to their fellow villagers. Coming and going, such a small barracks has become a rebel headquarters.
When they went to bed at night, Jiang Moyan and Bao Jianfeng covered the quilt and planned silently, and then fell asleep.
The next day, sure enough, the exact news came that there was going to be a war. All those who heard the news had sad faces, and a depressing atmosphere of impending rain enveloped the entire barracks.
Three days later, all the soldiers in the barracks gathered on the school grounds, and a group of generals in armor came to the front of the team with a guy with a puffy belly. Looking at his costume, it is obviously Feng Juncan, the guard here. But seeing his round general's belly, Jiang Moyan only felt that the corners of his eyes twitched. A military general can make his belly round like this, and he has to be at some level.
Because they stood relatively backward, coupled with the fact that Feng Juncan's strength was all used to support his stomach, he lacked confidence at all, and his voice couldn't travel far. So Jiang Moyan and the others basically didn't hear what the other party was saying. I saw that his mouth opened and closed for a while, and then he was surrounded by people and walked away. The soldiers in the back looked at each other and asked each other what they had heard. When the captains of the various squads came over to lead the team to leave, Jiang Moyan and the others had the opportunity to ask for an understanding, and the answer they got was: Go back and prepare, and start the war tomorrow.
Tomorrow? co-authored such a big deal, he is going to start a war tomorrow, and the morale that he finally encouraged with a big belly, isn't it all unloaded again? Jiang Mo was speechless, if such a general could win the battle, it would really be hell. From this point of view, these soldiers really did nothing wrong to find another way out, otherwise they would really become cannon fodder.
A tall and thin soldier next to him said, "What's not to understand about this? Since he came here today, he must be someone else who will lead the team tomorrow, so he just came to show his face in advance. β
"This 'army is scattered', I must want to slip away again."
"That is, how can such a general win a battle?"
The protests of the crowd grew loud and loud, and everyone was quiet until the squad leader in front had to speak to stop it.
The suppressed people returned to the barracks, and the anger on their faces quickly erupted, and all kinds of complaints, worries, and anger flowed freely along with the anti-war sentiment.
Jiang Moyan and Bao Jianfeng glanced at each other, and then sent Zhao Nianzu out again and went back to the inn to report the news.
