Chapter 372: Taking over the army

In mid-November, when the situation in Xi'an was treacherous, Chen Daoxian led an army of 30,000 troops from Xi'an and marched along the road to Fengxiang.

From this, Chen Daoxian also got the news that the main force of the Qing army had seized Yixian, which was not good news for them, which meant that the Qing army was moving very fast - this side can reflect some problems, such as the quality of an army and the most basic discipline problems.

"General Chen, since Qinggou has occupied Yixian, we might as well retreat to Xinglin Town and make plans again."

An extremely ordinary-looking man said with a big grin, his expression was extremely arrogant, and he didn't seem to put the so-called right general in his eyes at all, if this scene was placed in any army, I am afraid it would make people feel incredible, but at this time, no one in the righteous army expressed any objections.

The reason is very simple, although Chen Daoxian has the identity of a so-called right general, he was placed under house arrest by Liu Ruhan early on, and his forces were scattered, and no one in the army dared to support him, and everyone drew a clear line with Chen Daoxian, not even daring to have a little intimate contact.

As for this man, his name is Liu Quan, he was originally just a distant relative of Liu Ruhan, and later after he became acquainted with Liu Ruhan, he mixed into the Great Righteous Army and became a small commander, and in this battle, he was obviously Chen Daoxian's deputy, but all orders were from this person's hands, and Chen Daoxian had no right to give orders at all.

Chen Daoxian didn't have any anger on his face, in fact, for an old fox like him, expression management was almost as simple as eating and drinking, he said in a low voice with a humble look on his face: "What General Liu said is that since the General Bureau thinks it is good to retreat to Xinglin Town, then retreat to Xinglin Town......."

Liu Quan looked at this former big man, and now he looked groveling, and his heart was instantly greatly satisfied, and he smiled and said: "General Chen is polite, this matter on the march, the general is in charge, let's work together, this battle is naturally no problem......

"What General Liu said is that it all depends on General Liu!"

Chen Daoxian lowered his head slightly, clasped his hands into fists and said flatteringly, not even the look in his eyes changed at all, but the corners of his mouth outlined an arc.

Speaking of the two ends, Nian Qianyao slaughtered Feng Xiang, naturally he wanted to take advantage of this murderous momentum to exterminate the White Lotus Sect, he went all the way to Xi'an, after occupying Yixian, he also got the news of the vanguard of the Great Righteous Army 30,000 people, and his heart was suddenly overjoyed, and he only felt that this was the fat meat that God sent to his mouth!

To deal with these 30,000 people, Nian Qianyao also wanted to fight the lion and the rabbit, so on the one hand, he sent people to closely surround the Great Righteous Army, and on the other hand, he began to gather the main force, drove out from Yixian, and marched in the direction of the Great Righteous Army.

There were large armies on both sides, so the march seemed a little dragged, so when the 30,000 righteous army arrived at Xinglin Town, the Qing army gradually approached, and the distance between the vanguard teams on both sides was less than thirty miles, almost less than a day's march, and even the sentinels of the vanguard were strangled.

After learning that the Qing army was less than thirty miles away from here, Liu Quan was obviously a little panicked, although he was Liu Ruhan's cronies, but he didn't understand the way of marching and fighting, so he had to find Chen Daoxian, who was inspecting the soldiers.

"General Chen, how did this Qing army come so fast! After all, we are not in the city, if we face the Qing army so directly, this is ..... Can this be won? ”

"Naturally, you can't win." Chen Daoxian sighed softly.

"That'..... How's that to be? Liu Quan was obviously a little flustered, he found that this battle didn't seem to be as simple as he thought, and the little conspiracy in his stomach was now useless, so he had to look at Chen Daoxian, "What plan does General Chen have?" Ben will ....... No, the last general must obey ......"

Chen Daoxian smiled slightly, he could naturally understand the weakness in Liu Quan's tone, and he didn't care about it at the moment, and said softly: "If you only rely on us, you can't win the Qing army, they have a lot of people and excellent weapons, but we are different, we have nothing, we can only rely on follow-up reinforcements." ”

"But..."

Liu Quan quickly thought of the purpose of his coming here, and he also knew Liu Ruhan's thoughts very well - it didn't matter if the 30,000 people died, but Chen Dao seemed dead.

How could there still be reinforcements in this case?

Liu Quan's eyes rolled, and he quickly thought of an idea, and said with a smile: "In this case, the last general can go back to Xi'an on behalf of General Chen to ask for help, and when the time comes, please ask the king's army to join forces with the outside world, and then you can defeat the Qing army." It's just that before that, please ask the general to hold on. ”

Chen Daoxian clasped his fists and saluted, and said solemnly: "Since this is the case, I will work hard for the general, if I can win this time, I should take the general as the first credit!" ”

"Where, where...... General Chen was polite. Liu Quan smiled.

Liu Quansheng was afraid that the Qing army would move too fast, and he was not willing to stay here and take risks at the moment, so he took a team of men and horses directly in the direction of Xi'an City.

Looking at the back of Liu Quan's departure, a sneer appeared on Chen Daoxian's face, he whispered to a guard beside him, and then returned to the camp and gave his first order, that is, in the face of the Qing army's offensive, military affairs will be discussed tonight, and all generals must participate.

After giving the order, a relieved expression appeared on Chen Daoxian's face, he pulled out the sword at his waist, looking at the pattern on it, his face was slightly melancholy.

It's just that the melancholy color didn't last long, Chen Daoxian quickly adjusted, and there was still a bit of a smile on his face.

"Someone, call Commander Huang over."

"Yes."

After a while, a tall and strong man walked into the tent, he kept his head down, and after entering the tent, he bent down and hugged his fists and said, "The last general, Huang Gui, has seen the general. ”

Chen Daoxian took a deep look at Huang Gui, and then said in a low voice: "Huang Gui, those brothers of Baihe Dao back then, now there are only a few of you left..... In the past two years, you have suffered too much! ”

"The general is the real suffering in it...... We are not bitter. A trace of warmth appeared on Huang Gui's face, but when he answered, he was a little sluggish.

"It's good if it's not bitter, and it's not in vain that I cultivated ..... back then"

Chen Daoxian's voice gradually turned cold, "Your parents and children, I will send someone to take good care of them, so you can go first." ”

As soon as the words fell, Huang Gui was shocked, but before he could react, from behind the tent curtain, several black-clothed people suddenly came out, their movements were very sharp, and the long sword in their hands stabbed over in an instant.

No matter how brave and good Huang Gui was on the battlefield, it was difficult to deal with this change, and he was directly pierced by several long swords, and the people in black hit it successfully, and directly let go of their hands, letting the long sword remain on Huang Gui's body, and then retreated behind the curtain.

"Total.... The main helm ......."

Huang Gui struggled and shouted, he could no longer support his body, and fell to the ground, blood flowing down his body, and soon he was out of breath.

Soon, several guards walked into the tent, and they dragged Huang Gui's body out with great swiftness, and then wiped all the blood stains on the ground clean, except for a faint bit of blood in the air, there was no trace of it, as if Huang Gui had never appeared.

Chen Daoxian sighed lowly, although he had long known that there was a spy around him, but he never expected that this spy turned out to be his original deputy commander of the guard, who had followed him from Baihe Dao to the current old brother, and it could even be said that Huang Gui's life was saved by him Chen Daoxian, but he still chose to betray.

Choosing to kill Huang Gui also means one thing - between Chen Daoxian and Liu Ruhan, even the last mask has been torn off, and the two sides are already endless. Of course, this step was not an impulsive choice by him, but a deliberate move, especially when the time had come.

As long as he thinks of what happened in the past two years, Chen Daoxian gritted his teeth with hatred for Liu Ruhan, although he didn't know the specific situation, but he could fully imagine that under his heart, Liu Ruhan was cleaned one by one, and the rest of the people were also to the point of surviving, and it can even be said that if there was not a Ning Chu in the south, I am afraid that he himself would not be far from death.

Of course, all this has passed, Chen Daoxian thought of the person he had come into contact with at the beginning, his heart was full of revenge-like pleasure, Liu Ruhan couldn't jump for long!

After nightfall, the generals of the Great Righteous Army came to the tent one after another, and they were not surprised by Chen Daoxian's order, after all, the Qing army had indeed reached thirty miles away, and they would fight at any time, so the deployment before the war was very necessary.

It's just that after the generals walked into the tent, they found that Chen Daoxian was not in the tent, and they felt a little strange in their hearts, so they whispered in groups, for most of the generals, they still knew something about Chen Daoxian, although they were strange about the reason why King Han sent him to the front, but they didn't think about it deeply.

It was only after a while that the generals heard a rush of footsteps outside the tent, and it seemed that many people were running, and then someone lifted the curtain of the tent, only to find that the outside of the tent had been surrounded by soldiers, and their arms were tied with white strips of cloth, and they were silent.

This time it made the generals present panic, it was obvious that this was a big conspiracy, and it was also a conspiracy of the coach against all the generals under his command, it was like a big joke.

No, some people quickly thought that some of the generals in this tent should belong to Neiying, but all the generals were silent, looking at everyone around them with vigilant and curious eyes, but no one dared to make a small move, after all, the soldiers outside had surrounded the tent, and it was impossible to escape, and the tent fell into a long dead silence.

After a while, Chen Daoxian walked into the handsome tent step by step from the outside, and there was no longer the humility of the past in his expression, only a strong confidence, and a little smile on his face.

"Liu Ruhan has gone perverse and has long forgotten my White Lotus Doctrine, so we need to do the right thing for the heavens, eradicate the treacherous, and remove a big sea of fire for the Holy Sect."

"Today, he who obeys me lives, and he who rebels against me dies. If you want to come to me, raise your left arm! ”

Obviously, this is a seizure of military power, and it is also a rebellion, creating Liu Ruhan's rebellion!

Chen Daoxian glanced at everyone, and saw that many people had honestly chosen to raise their hands, but there were still many people who were silent, and it was obvious that they had made their choice.

Without Chen Daoxian's orders, the generals who raised their left arms began to fight with the generals next to them in order to express their loyalty, because they did not bring weapons into the account, so they used their fists and teeth one by one, frantically biting the people around them, and then the soldiers in the tent outside also rushed in together, slashing and killing those soldiers who were silent before.

Chen Daoxian watched them fight, with a sneer on his face, he had already arranged for his cronies to take over the army, as long as he killed these generals who violated the order, plus his own order letter, it was enough to take over the army, and as long as he really got the military power of the 30,000 army, he could really do something he should do.

There was already blood and corpses everywhere in the tent, and the generals who disobeyed Chen Daoxian's orders had no weapons after all, and the number of people was small, so they couldn't play anything in this environment, they were killed one by one, and then they were dragged out of the camp one by one, and were thrown into a big pit dug outside the camp, and the inside was already full of firewood and grass.

In the process of Chen Daoxian's henchmen taking over the military power, it was not all smooth sailing, and there were some small-scale resistances, but the rebels were leaderless after all, so they were quickly extinguished, and a large number of corpses were transported to the pit, almost piled up into a small mountain.

This turmoil lasted almost until the moment before dawn came, when a fire rose into the sky, it meant that the chaos was completely over, Chen Daoxian finally got the military power he dreamed of, and finally got rid of Liu Ruhan's control.

It's just that this doesn't mean the real end, Chen Daoxian quickly issued an order as soon as he grasped the military power, that is, before the Qing army found out, the whole army secretly withdrew from Xinglin Town and went north to Qianzhou.

Of course, Chen Daoxian's order completely made way for the Qing army to attack Xi'an, and in order to ensure that the Qing army would not follow all the way, he also left a letter in the camp to the commander of the Qing army, Nian Qianyao.

In Chen Daoxian's view, as long as this letter was seen by the commander of the Qing army, then his plan would be at least half successful.

As for the other half, if there are more than 100,000 people who don't die, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see.
