Chapter 337: Mutiny
The twilight was gray, but the barracks were bustling.
Chinese New Year's Eve was one of the biggest festivals in the empire, and the newly reorganized Xiling Three Horsemen gathered in the camp, and everyone was given a share of wine and meat, eating meat in large pieces, and drinking in large gulps.
Not long after the tiger cavalry was transferred to Fan County, the wolf cavalry of Zhen County was also brought to Fan County by the general himself, and the three cavalry were reorganized, with a full formation of 2,400 cavalry, which belonged to the Xiling Du Protector Army, and was divided into two cavalry battalions, each battalion of 1,200 cavalry, divided into 12 cavalry teams.
The military system was adapted according to the establishment of the imperial court.
For every 100 people as a cavalry team, there is a cavalry captain, and every 10 people have a fire, and there is a fire commander.
There is a cavalry commander on the left and right cavalry battalions.
It is rare that it is Chinese New Year's Eve, except for the soldiers in charge of the sentry tonight, everyone else is allowed to drink, but Su Changyu has never liked too lively occasions, the military camp is noisy, but Su Changyu is alone in the camp.
On the table, there is a picture of a lady, in which the lady holds a net cover in her hand, and is catching butterflies among the flowers.
This picture of a lady is far from the atmosphere of the longbow and sword in the tent.
The original Tiger Cavalry Commander Yuan Shangyu and Fan Cavalry Commander Mo Cangxing were the commanders of the left and right battalions, but Fat Yu and the others were directly promoted to cavalry captains by the general and commanded the hundred-man cavalry team.
Su Changyu, as the deputy general under the general, assisted the general in commanding the Xiling cavalry.
The general was invited to the city for a birthday banquet, and Su Changyu naturally stayed to sit in the barracks.
Su Changyu's face returned to his previous cold look, and asked, "Something?" ”
"A few of us have a little bit to discuss with General Zhonglang." Yuan Shangyu's voice was quite respectful.
Su Changyu rolled up the scroll he painted, put away his pen and ink, and then said, "Come in and talk." ”
Su Changyu is holding a wolf's hair, and is interested in painting on a blank piece of paper, although the content of the painting is not a lady catching butterflies, but the woman's clothes and beautiful body in the picture are clearly the women catching butterflies.
When Su Changyu, who has never smiled, painted, he had a shallow smile on the corner of his lips, and his expression was unusually soft, as if he saw his beloved woman.
Hearing the sound of footsteps outside, Su Changyu immediately rolled up the butterfly hunting picture of the lady, and Yuan Shangyu's voice was already heard outside the tent: "Zhonglang General, the humble general Yuan Shangyu asks to see!" ”
"What?" Su Changyu still looked indifferent.
"General Zhonglang should know that the old Marquis of Yuwen, under the escort of the eldest prince, went to Kyoto to apologize to the imperial court." Yuan Shangyu said slowly: "Since the old marquis left, we have been busy reorganizing the troops and horses, we have not known the news from the old marquis, dare to ask the Zhonglang general, are the old marquis and the eldest prince okay now?" ”
Su Changyu looked calm, and said lightly: "You are already subordinate to the Duhu Army, you are the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, and you are no longer the private army of the Yuwen family, why do you still ask about the affairs of the Yuwen family?" ”
The tent door opened, and several mermaids such as Yuan Shangyu and Fat Yu entered.
Su Changyu sat still, saw a few people entering the camp, and asked, "What's the matter with a few of you?" ”
Yuan Shangyu and a few people glanced at each other, and then arched his hand and said: "Zhonglang General, there is something we want to ask, and we also ask Zhonglang General to tell the truth." ”
And don't know anything about the situation of the eldest prince? Fat Fish asked.
Su Changyu looked at the fat fish, his lips moved slightly, but he didn't speak.
"Zhonglang General, do you not know, or do you know that you don't say it?" Yuan Shangyu's face was solemn: "We just want one answer." ”
"Zhonglang General, although we belong to the imperial court, but we think of the source, if there is no Yuwen family, there will be no today." Ning Zhifeng, who was behind Yuan Shangyu, stared at Su Changyu with a cold gaze and said, "We want to know if the old marquis is okay now, it shouldn't be too much, right?" ”
Su Changyu saw that several people were staring at him, and sat still and said: "I only ask about military affairs, and I am not interested in other things, and I am not interested in your questions at all, if you really want to know the situation of the old marquis of Yuwen, when the general comes back, you can ask the general in person." ”
"In this way, Zhonglang will be to the old marquis
"In this way, Zhonglang will admit that the old marquis was killed?" Ning Zhifeng pressed forward step by step.
Su Changyu tilted his neck slightly and did not speak.
"I heard that there is an overseer from Kyoto." Yuan Shangyu said calmly: "However, what this prison soldier did did not seem to match his identity. He took a step forward, looked at Su Changyu and said: "The old marquis donated his family's assets so that the general would have military expenses to deploy the defense of Xiling to resist the eastward advance of the Wutuo people, but that Pei Shiqing seems to have transported all the assets of the Yuwen family to Kyoto, in addition, I heard that he is also eyeing the Zhen family, and he wants to transport away the money obtained by the Zhen family, Zhonglang General, is this true or false?" ”
Su Changyu sneered: "Answer? Commander Yuan, I said it very clearly, and you ..... It seems that I am not clear about my identity, do I need to repeat it? ”
"General Zhonglang, was the old marquis killed?" Dapeng, who had been silent, suddenly asked, "Do you know that the old marquis was killed?" ”
The corners of Su Changyu's eyes twitched slightly, and he asked rhetorically, "How do you know that the old marquis was killed?" ”
"Time has passed, but there are signs of invasion by the Vedas, and we grew up on this land, as long as there is still a trace of blood, it is impossible to let that scene repeat itself." Yuan Shangyu's voice was low, and he said solemnly: "The general returned to Xiling, and we were all very happy in our hearts, because we knew that as long as the general came, there would be hope in Xiling, and under the leadership of the general, we could fight to the death with the Vedic people." His eyes were cold: "Now Xiling is a difficult time, but someone wants to draw money from the bottom of the kettle and suck the last bit of blood in Xiling, Zhonglang General, we really want to ask, what is the so-called imperial court going to do?" Do they want to sweep away everything in Xiling, and then let the people of Xiling sit and wait to die? ”
Su Changyu clenched his fists and said coldly: "Yuan Shangyu, do you know what you are talking about?" Are you going to rebel? ”
"Rebellion?" Yuan Shangyu laughed and said: "It turns out that in the eyes of the imperial court, the garrison of Xiling is a rebellion? He raised his hand and said, "General Zhonglang, please take a look at it!" ”
Su Changyu's eyes were like knives, he looked at Yuan Shangyu and said, "Commander Yuan, you don't seem to have come to discuss things with me today. ”
"We admire the general, and we are willing to follow the general and fight to the death with the Vedas." Yuan Shangyu said slowly: "More than ten years ago, the Wutuo people entered Xiling and slaughtered hundreds of people. Raising his hand to the outside of the tent: "Zhonglang will listen carefully, you should still be able to hear their crying." ”
Su Changyu frowned.
In the night, I saw countless people standing densely outside the tent.
"These are all Xiling people." Yuan Shangyu said: "Whether the old Marquis of Yuwen was killed, let's not say more, I am asking on behalf of these brothers, does the imperial court really want to transport all the military expenses to Kyoto?" If those military funds are transported away, will Xiling Defense still need it? Xiang Su Changyu arched his hand and said, "Please also ask Zhonglang to give you an answer." ”
Countless pairs of eyes looked at Su Changyu, and in the night, it was like countless sharp blades facing Su Changyu.
Su Changyu had already sensed that the situation was wrong at this time.
The originally noisy military camp suddenly quieted down at this time, and it was no longer as lively and noisy as before.
He stood up, grabbed the saber on the side, glanced at Yuan Shangyu and a few others, and then walked out of the big tent.
He really didn't expect that on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, there would be a sudden mutiny.
The reason for the mutiny is directly on behalf of the imperial court
Pei Shiqing.
Su Changyu saw the formation in front of him, and gasped in his heart.
Of course he knew what it was.
Mutiny!
As soon as he finished speaking, a deep voice suddenly came from the crowd: "They didn't think about mutiny, they just knew who they were fighting for, and they knew why." They are not afraid of bloodshed, but they do not want their blood to be shed in vain. ”
As he spoke, the crowd dispersed a road, and a tall figure slowly walked out of the road.
Su Changyu saw that the man was tall and his steps were steady, frowned, and asked, "Who are you?" ”
Su Changyu naturally understood that once the mutiny could not be controlled, it would cause a monstrous disaster in an instant.
If the general was still in the camp at this time, he might be able to suppress these people with the general's prestige, but the general just entered the city tonight for a banquet, and his prestige was not enough to deter these Xiling tigers and wolves who had just been reorganized.
"How do you know these things?" Su Changyu turned his eyes to Yuan Shangyu and asked in a deep voice, "Who told you that the imperial court was going to transport away all the military expenses?" Yuan Shangyu, hearsay, inciting mutiny, do you know the consequences? ”
In the cold winter and moon, the night breeze is whistling, and on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, there is a solemn atmosphere in the barracks.
"The general has come back to fight the Vedas." Su Changyu said coldly.
Yuwen Chengchao said: "The general's ambition, we naturally know. But what did the court do? That eunuch from Kyoto, what did he want to do? All the assets of the Yuwen family, although they were stored in the palace, were hoarded by the eunuch and were already ready to be shipped to Kyoto. In addition, the Zhen family has been convicted, and everything from the Zhen family will be copied and sent to Kyoto. He raised his arm, pointed to the soldiers behind him, and said loudly: "All the military supplies are gone, what will they do to fight the Vultures to the death?" ”
"Yuwen Chengchao!" The voice of the person who came was loud: "Zhonglang should have heard me!" ”
Su Changyu's face changed slightly, and he said in surprise: "You are Yuwen Chengchao?" ”
"My father donated all the assets of the Yuwen family to the general, and handed over the tiger horse to the capital protection mansion." Yuwen Chengchao walked very slowly, but his voice was full of energy: "When the Wutuo people entered Xiling, the Xiling family did not come forward in order to protect themselves, and my father regretted it for more than ten years. This time he handed over all this, not entirely to protect the Yuwen family, but also to allow the general to lead everyone to resist the Vedas and prevent the tragedy of the year from happening again. My father and I went to Kyoto to ask for guilt, but on the peninsula, we were intercepted and killed, who was behind it, it doesn't matter anymore, the most important thing at the moment is that everyone in Xiling must be led by the general to prepare to resist the invasion of the Vedas. ”
"Whoever wants to take away Xiling's things is to ignore the lives of the people of Xiling, and we will never agree." Someone in the crowd shouted.
As soon as this person spoke, the soldiers all raised their arms and shouted, and the sound shook the sky.
