Xiang Zheng was a little upset by his eldest brother's words and eyes.

You must know that from childhood to adulthood, he and his second brother Xiang Jun basically grew up under the shadow of Xiang Zhen. First, Xiang Zhen is the eldest brother, and second, since he was a child, Xiang Zhen has far surpassed the two of them in terms of Wen Taowuluo.

In the past, in Lingnan, Xiang Zheng and Xiang Jun only bowed their heads and obeyed orders in front of the boss Xiang Zhen. In the Xiang family, Xiang Zhen is also recognized as the successor of the Xiang family, whether it is prestige, influence or even financial resources, it is not comparable to Xiang Zheng and Xiang Jun.

But after Xiang Zhen's army defeated Eyue, everything changed.

The defeat of Eyue had an extremely far-reaching impact on the southern forces represented by Lingnan, and it was a battle in which the Southern Alliance turned into a completely passive one. As the commander of this battle, Xiang Zhen has an unshirkable responsibility.

Xiang Zhen fell out of favor.

Xiang Xun began to tilt his attention more to Xiang Zhen and Xiang Jun.

Of course, this is just Xiang Zheng's own opinion, as Xiang Zhen said to his father Xiang Xun, in addition to his bravery, Xiang Zheng is a straw bag in other aspects.

The root of Xiang Zhen's bad luck is his influence, which has slowly surpassed his father.

This is intolerable to Xiang Xun.

Is Lao Tzu still alive? Do you want to get past me? Just by taking advantage of this reason, he will take down Xiang Zhen and kill his arrogance well.

Do you say that Xiang Xun really wants to do Xiang Zhen?

That's not it.

After all, this is one of his best sons.

He just didn't want his son to surpass him and become the number one person in Lingnan when he was still alive. In Xiang Xun's view, Xiang Zhen's style is too sharp and needs to be recuperated.

Including Xiang Zhenshe's dedication to raise money to go to the Lotus Mountain camp to train soldiers, Xiang Xun also disagreed, in his opinion, this is still Xiang Zhen's unruliness and another kind of refusal to admit defeat to him.

Therefore, after Xiang Zhen came back this time, as soon as he opened his golden mouth, he snatched away the ownership of the army that Xiang Zhen had worked hard and trained with financial resources.

Since his temperament has not stabilized, let's go to the Lotus Mountain camp to train soldiers for a few more years.

It's just that what he never expected was that Xiang Zhen reacted so violently, and more importantly, he didn't expect Xiang Zhen to have been planning for so long for today.

What Xiang Xun couldn't think of, Xiang Zheng naturally couldn't think of.

When he ran all the way to the former military garrison of the imperial camp, he always recalled the sneer of his eldest brother Xiang Zhen in his mind, well, and the contemptuous eyes, somehow, he only felt cold in his vest.

It wasn't until he saw the barracks of the army in front of the imperial camp and the soldiers guarding the door that his heart relaxed a little.

What about Big Brother?

Now you have no power or power. The soldiers you have trained will become mine and my father's in a few days, and you can only go back to the Lotus Mountain camp to squat, but this time, I don't know where else to get the money to train your soldiers? Do you expect your father to grant you money? Well, the money must be given, and the compensation will definitely be there, but I'm afraid that if you want to get another army like this, it's not so easy.

As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel proud, turned over and dismounted, threw the reins to the guards at the door of the barracks, and said as he walked inside: "Inform the battalion commanders and deputy generals to sit in the lobby." ”

Some of the soldiers around him quickly turned around and went to inform the generals of each battalion.

There were 20,000 troops in front of the imperial camp, half of which were stationed outside the city, and the other half were stationed inside the city, responsible for the security and order maintenance of the entire Guangzhou city.

There were several braziers burning in the lobby, making the inside warm, Xiang Zheng sat behind the big case, drinking the sobering soup, while thinking about the people and things he heard at the banquet today.

Although these people all regarded the Guangzhou court as Zhengshuo and rebuked Chang'an Li Ze as a traitor who plotted to usurp the throne, they had not gathered in Guangzhou City so neatly for a long time.

The pressure brought by Li Ze has become more and more great, and everyone has already felt Li Ze's mountain-like body and eyes that are colder than ice, and they are staring at them fiercely in Chang'an.

They're really in a hurry.

Even Rongguan and Guiguan, which are still far away from Chang'an, have already felt the ubiquitous influence of the Northern Tang Dynasty.

If Li Ze issued a decree in Chang'an at this time, willing to recognize the status of these people and guarantee their power, I am afraid that these people will immediately lose their previous positions and bow down to Chang'an, the guy who has been scolded by them repeatedly, the Guangzhou court will immediately collapse.

What Xiang Zheng didn't understand was that Li Ze could do it easily, but he didn't, he didn't even give these knots a chance to negotiate.

At the beginning of this person's accession to the throne, he also gave a decree to these southern jiedu envoys, but this decree ordered them to go to Chang'an to knock on them.

Who will go?

I'm afraid that if I go, I'm afraid that it will be a meat bun and a dog, and it will be rare to come back.

Since then, Li Ze has no other intentions.

Xiang Zheng had heard his father say that some of them were still active in Chang'an, hoping to get some kind of promise from Li Ze, but to no avail. Not to mention seeing Li Ze, even those important ministers under Li Ze's command, they were not allowed to enter.

It is precisely because of this resolute attitude of the Chang'an Imperial Court that these festival envoys gathered in the city of Guangzhou in desperation to discuss a plan for their future.

How can there be any other way?

There is only one way, and that is to resist reunification by force.

Whoever has a hard fist will naturally speak louder.

The sound of the clattering of the nail leaves outside pulled Xiang Zheng's thoughts back from the memories of today's banquet, he put down the empty soup bowl, sat up straight, and looked sharply at the two rows of generals who were rushing in from the outside.

"Where's Chen Xu?" He snorted coldly in his nostrils, "Why haven't you come yet?" ”

One of the generals who stepped into the door first bowed down and said: "General, Chen Xu ate a bad stomach at noon today, and in half a day, he went to the toilet seven or eight times, and now his body is as soft as noodles, so he can only ask the general for leave." ”

"Why didn't Xiang Yong come? Didn't you also eat a bad stomach? ”

"General Xiang Yong, he didn't have a bad stomach, he just got drunk and unconscious!" The general who spoke up earlier laughed, "The last general can't wake him up!" ”

Xiang Zheng squinted his eyes at the general who spoke, and said coldly: "Cheng Zilong, as the former deputy general of the imperial camp, I left for such a day, and these things happened, how did you manage the military camp?" ”

Cheng Zilong smiled and hugged his fists and said: "General, Chen Xu, Xiang Yong, they have always obeyed your orders, my words, they have always been deaf to the wind, I want to engage in their military law, but I am afraid that the general will blame, so I have to open my eyes and close one eye." ”

The corner of Xiang Zheng's eyes jumped, and he only felt that Cheng Zilong was a little strange today, this person usually has a gentle temperament, does not fight or rob, and he is also old, so his father asked him to set up a team with him, and used this person's old qualifications in the Lingnan Army to help him stabilize the situation. He has always cooperated quite well, why is he talking so yin and yang now? I'm afraid that Chen Xu and Xiang Yong have suffered a lot of.

Thinking of this, my heart eased and said, "Okay, if you don't come, don't come, it's not a big deal!" It is now that all the festival envoys gathered in Guangzhou City to discuss the plan to fight against the Li thieves in Chang'an. Such a thing cannot be concealed, and the spies in Chang'an will certainly not watch our plan succeed, and they will wantonly destroy it if they can't say it. Although the front division of the palace has increased its efforts, our front army of the imperial camp is responsible for the security and order maintenance of Guangzhou's city defense, so during this time, one by one, they have opened their eyes wide, and the patrol shift has been doubled. During this time, all the generals were not allowed to leave the barracks, and they were all on standby in the barracks. ”

The generals under the tent looked at Xiang Zheng, but they didn't say a word.

"What, are you all deaf?" Xiang Zheng looked at everyone with some annoyance, only to feel that his face suddenly became hateful.

Outside, there was a sudden sound of dense footsteps, the clashing of weapons, and the exclamations of the guards.

Xiang Zheng was the one who led the troops after all, and in an instant, cold sweat broke out, and the wine in his whole body disappeared, and suddenly he understood what had happened?

No wonder Chen Xu and Xiang Yong are nowhere to be seen.

"Cheng Zilong, do you want to rebel?" He jumped to his feet and pulled out the saber next to the big case.

Cheng Zilong laughed loudly, choked and drew his knife, and approached forward: "General, General Xiang Zhen asked me to bring you a word, *****, you shouldn't stay where he can't reach." ”

"Fart, you're looking for death!" Xiang Zheng rushed over with a knife.

This is the location of the Chinese army camp in front of the imperial camp, and as long as he rushes out of this room, there is still a lot to do.

"General, I advise you not to be trapped in the beast, we have already done what we should do on the day of your absence." Cheng Zilong smiled and waved his knife to force him up.

Many generals in the room rushed up.

Xiang Zheng was beaten by a group of generals even though he had three heads and six arms, in such a small space in the house, but after only three or five parries, he was shot down with his weapon, pressed to the ground, and tied up with four horses.

"Cheng Zilong, I'm going to cut you with a thousand knives!" Xiang Zheng, who was lying on the ground, yelled angrily: "Father will not let you go." ”

Cheng Zilong sneered.

Turning to face the generals in the house, he said: "According to General Xiang's order, the men and horses belonging to the front army of the imperial camp will immediately surround the post houses where the envoys of the various festivals live, remember, do not disturb these nobles, only do not allow them to leave the post house." ”

"Yes!"

"Open the city gate and let the king and the general and others enter the city!" Cheng Zilong said again.
