Chapter 696: The Battle of Life and Death (10)
Dusk passed, and darkness fell.
Inside the imperial city, there is a silence and desertion, here is not better than outside the city, the rules are strict, once it is dark, as long as it is not a special day, the palace ladies will hardly go out, stay in their own palaces honestly, if there is anything, it is also to send eunuchs and palace maids to do.
The main camp of the Yulin Army was in the westernmost part of the imperial city.
There are a total of 20,000 soldiers in the Yulin Army, and their duty is only one, that is, to defend the imperial city and defend the Son of Heaven, in addition to the five thousand soldiers on duty around the imperial city, the remaining 15,000 soldiers are left in the camp, without orders, or without the time to change shifts, all soldiers are strictly forbidden to go out of the camp, because this is the imperial city, it is the place with the strictest rules in the world, of course, as a soldier here, the treatment is also the best and highest in the world.
The Yulin Army camp is as calm as ever, and it is no different from usual.
But in the barracks, there is a strange atmosphere spreading, at this time, although it was just dark for a short time, but usually, most of the soldiers had already fallen asleep, because Sun Wuyang, the general of Yulinwei, governed the army very strictly, and every day before dawn would gather the soldiers of the whole army for training, three hundred and sixty-five days a year, every day.
With such hard training, it is said that the soldiers will be very resentful of the eldest grandson Wuyang, but this is not the case.
The eldest grandson Wuyang is very strict in governing the army, this is the case for the soldiers, and the same is true for himself, leading by example, at the same time, he never deducts the soldiers' salaries, if there is a benefit, it is also all given to the soldiers, and at the same time appointees, as long as you have the ability, it is outstanding, regardless of the background, the eldest grandson Wuyang will try his best to promote and reuse, and so on, under the grace and power, the soldiers are extremely deferential and respectful to the eldest grandson Wuyang, almost to the point of obedience, and the eldest grandson Wuyang has been in charge of Yulinwei for more than ten years, so long, Its prestige in Yulinwei is also high to a certain extent.
Today's Yulinwei battalion is abnormal, this abnormality comes from above, just now, the herald issued a first-level combat readiness order of Sun Wuyang, the general of Yulinwei, the soldiers wondered that at that time, the above only issued an order, but did not explain what task to perform, everyone could only wait there.
In the main hall of the Yulin Wei base camp, hundreds of middle and senior officers and generals gathered together, the eldest grandson Wuyang sat on the seat of the general above, his eyes looked coldly below, in the middle of the main hall, more than a dozen corpses were lying there, blood flowed all over the ground, and the strong smell of blood filled the entire hall, most people lowered their heads, and did not dare to look at the eldest grandson Wuyang above.
"I'm not for myself, but for everyone, how my eldest grandson Wuyang treats you, you know it in your hearts, I won't say anything more than I want, I'm willing to follow me, successful, except for your wife and children, you can have whatever you want, if you fail, I will die first, and when you get below, I am still in front, what else do you have to be afraid of?"
The eldest grandson Wuyang stood up, pointed to those who had died as corpses, and said coldly: "Today's affairs, there is no advance or retreat, and those who are irrelevant, these people are the end." ”
What else can be said? There is no way out, and if you don't do it together, it's a dead end.
"General, you say, what do you want, let's all follow, it's a big deal."
Immediately, more than a dozen officers stood up and said loudly.
The eldest grandson Wuyang has been in charge of Yulinwei for many years, his prestige is extremely high, and he promises to be extremely generous as a reward, some people are irrelevant, but some people are really moved, the risk is high, but if it is successful, there will be everything in this life.
With someone taking the lead, the others can only follow the crowd, and they also echo each other, expressing their willingness to follow the eldest grandson Wuyang to do great things.
When the situation at the scene is already very obvious, the eldest grandson Wuyang is ready to make a move, although his prestige among the Yulin guards is extremely high, under the military order, no one dares to disobey the order, but what is the matter, if you want to do such a rebellious thing, I am afraid that not everyone is willing to follow the eldest grandson Wuyang to do it, so, before the unification of the thinking of the army officers and generals, although the eldest grandson Wuyang issued a first-level combat readiness order, but did not dare to say the specific content, I am afraid that once I say it, there will be people who will oppose it immediately, At that time, Yu Linwei is likely to break out into infighting, and before he can start acting, he will be in chaos.
Zhao Zhi's bedroom, Zhao Xun sat on the edge of the bed, and said a lot to Zhao Zhi in a coma, telling his helplessness, the current situation was urgent, and he had to work hard to do something to hurt his siblings.
Zhao Xun has made up his mind, the first strike is strong, the whole city martial law is just the beginning, at the latest the day after tomorrow, at that time, the war in Henan should have ended, at that time, Zhao Xun will immediately issue an arrest of the Yiwang and those ministers and families who support him, the list has been prepared, more than 500 people, once the action is taken, it will be a bloody storm.
Zhao Xun is actually under a lot of pressure now, his pressure can't be vented, and finally when he came to Zhao Zhi, he retired everyone, leaving their father and son, Zhao Xun told Zhao Zhi all his helplessness and fear, this is the past two hours, what should be said or not, all of them were said, this said, Zhao Xun's mood suddenly relaxed a lot.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, I have something to report."
A eunuch was outside the tent and whispered.
Zhao Xun frowned, turned around and said coldly, "Stand down." ”
The eunuch was silent, and at this moment, the curtain was lifted, and the shepherd walked in quickly.
Mu Gong's expression was very heavy, and Zhao Xun was quite surprised and asked, "Mu Gong, what happened?" ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince, see for yourself."
The pastor handed the letter in his hand to Zhao Xun.
Zhao Xun opened the letter and saw that his face suddenly changed greatly, the letter was written by the king of Chu, and there were eight words on it, the eldest grandson would be opposed, and the Chinese army would be chaotic.
Zhao Xun stood up violently and said in a deep voice: "What about the person who sent the letter?" Arrest him and interrogate him severely, and he must be asked to understand. ”
Mu Gong shook his head: "It doesn't matter who sent the letter, what matters is whether what is said in the letter is true or false?" ”
Zhao Xun frowned and pondered, and after a moment, he said with a skeptical expression: "Will the King of Chu be so kind to remind Gu? Moreover, the eldest grandson Wuyang has always been loyal to his father and emperor, and has nothing to do with the princes. This doesn't make sense! ”
Zhao Xun obviously doesn't believe in the King of Chu, in his opinion, no matter who succeeds to the throne, he will not embarrass Changsun Wuyang, he has no need to rebel at all, because whether it succeeds or not, it will not do him any good, not to mention the forbidden army, this army is controlled by Yu Wenzhen, he is his father-in-law, and he will be the uncle of the country in the future, what can go wrong with him?
Mu Gong glanced at Zhao Xun and said softly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, there is a good saying, it is better to believe it than to believe it, and besides, the daughter of the eldest grandson Wuyang is the concubine of Zhao Ke, the king of Hengshan, some things are not completely unrelated to him, Your Highness should not be careless!" ”
Hearing this, Zhao Xun's face changed several times, pondered for a long time, and finally nodded: "What Mu Gong said is reasonable, in this way, you take your father and Gu to return to the East Palace immediately, and immediately send someone out of the palace to tell Yu Wenzhen, let him always pay attention to the movements of the imperial city, once there is any trouble, there is no need to report, and immediately lead the army into the imperial city to guard." ”
