Zhao Xingde followed the crowd of rebels to Tong Guan's camp, at this moment, there was no safe place in the Hebei camp, accompanied by grudges began to fight with each other, the strict officers were besieged by the soldiers, the order was further chaotic, and even some camp tents were set on fire. The Hebei camp was blazing with fire and noise, and even the cavalry of the Kereb Department who were running horses and shooting arrows outside stopped inexplicably.

Before Xin Xingzong, the commander of the First Army in Zhenbei, had time to reply, the noise outside had already risen, mixed with the chanting of "kill the eunuchs", and even Tong Guan, who was in a high position, could hear it clearly, and the faces of the adults who were all deployed sank suddenly. Zhou Dingchen, the secretary in charge, shouted: "Which army is the rebellion? Tong Guan looked at Xin Xingzong, who had just walked in, and then turned towards Tian Shizhen, who was kneeling on the ground.

Xin Xingzong only felt a chill on his spine, and did not dare to slack off, so he bowed down and said: "My lord, it was the Kelie Department who rebelled, pretending to accept 5,000 pieces of cloth, not only refusing to return to the camp, but also killing the soldiers I sent to transport them. Xin Xingzong didn't answer the question, a trace of anger appeared in Tong Guan's eyes, Zhou Dingchen and Xin Xingzong had always been good friends, and immediately glanced at him, and shouted: "Could it be that the Kelie Department has already rushed into the camp?" Xin Xingzong suddenly woke up, his face showed doubts, and said: "There are many chaotic soldiers gathered everywhere in the camp, clamoring to fight with Hu Cai, and the last general will strictly obey the military order of the marshal, and strictly order the battalions to be haste-free and patient, and not to let out a single person and ride out, just wait for the marshal's military order!" ”

Xin Xingzong's words were extremely respectful, and he was Tong Guan's confidant and favorite general, listening to him report on the situation outside, Tong Guan's face softened, and he said slowly: "Although it is a good thing that the soldiers are eager to fight, but if they gather in the military camp like this, they should severely punish the leader." He paused, realized that there was nothing wrong in his words, and said in a deep voice: "Xingzong, you go out to announce the army, and each of them will return to the camp and stand by, and there will be no noise." He also said to Han Shizhong of the Second Army in Zhenbei: "The Kereh Department actually deceived our dynasty and tried to rebel and make trouble, you should quickly go to the whole team, and once the camp is pacified, you will go out to defeat these razors." After speaking, he closed his eyes and concentrated, regardless of the look of surprise on his face of Tian Shizhen, who was kneeling underground.

Seeing that Han Shizhong and Xin Xingzong were ordered to go out, the surrounding generals looked at each other, and they all saw extremely nervous and apprehensive emotions in their eyes. The camp in Hebei has not experienced the camp for many years, but it does not mean that these generals, who have been in the army for almost three generations, do not know the horror of the camp roar. Most of the soldiers are rough people, and the generals will not reason with the soldiers, and the way to govern the army is one word, strict. The military stick is regarded as the smallest punishment, and the military discipline has seven prohibitions and fifty-four beheadings, killing people at every turn, stumping limbs, and piercing the ears. Strict military discipline has created an army, but it has also accumulated a high level of resentment in the barracks, which, if it erupts, threatens to turn even the most cowardly pawns into outlaws.

In the second year of Daguan, Yijin Pass once roared because the military rations were too greedy, and the guards escaped, but the state officials died, and the officials below were killed and injured, and the state customs city was looted by the rebels. Tian Shizhen was in Yijin Pass at that time, and he saw with his own eyes a military man whose wife ran away with someone, because he was late and received a military stick, and on the day of the mutiny, the soldier rushed into the camp of the marching Sima who was in charge of military law, and killed six people in a row, wounded eleven people, and Tian Shizhen was also stabbed in the arm, almost hurting the bones, and now every time it is windy and rainy, it still has a faint pain. He knelt on the ground, and he didn't care about his own affairs before he could explain it clearly, his eyes had already drifted to the fire and the shadow of the tree outside the tent.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Xin Xingzong to rush in in embarrassment, kneeling down and saying: "The last general is incompetent, the rebels have no military law, and there are many thieves in the middle of the incitement, archery, fire prevention, the last general was almost hit by the arrow, please deploy the adults to quickly point the troops to quell the chaos!" ”

Tong Guan's originally slightly closed eyes suddenly opened, staring at Xin Xingzong with anger, and was about to scold this useless bastard, but when he saw that Xin Xingzong's helmet was gone, and his military robe was also torn, it didn't seem to be fake, so he felt that things were a little out of control. This place is a little different from the Beijing Division. At this time, he looked left and right, only to see that all the generals were looking at each other, and Sima Wang Yan said: "The battalion in the army is not trivial, the matter has come to this point, all the adults should guard the camp with their own soldiers, don't let these chaotic soldiers rush in, and order the commanders of the army to immediately go back to rectify their subordinates." When the soldiers of the camp had enough trouble, they dispersed on their own. ”

With Wang Yan's words, all the generals in Hebei Xingying looked up, but Tong Guan was a little hesitant, would these people simply rebel after they went back? harmed his own life, and pushed it on the rebels, and it was a hundred. Since the camp is difficult to clean up, it is not very useful to let these generals go out, so it is better to detain them all in the camp and stay until dawn, if as Wang Yan said, the soldiers have made enough trouble, and they will disperse by themselves, and then let these generals go out to clean up the mess. Fortunately, the Hebei camp is stationed outside the city of Hejian Prefecture, and the matter of this camp can still cover up the past.

Calculating the gains and losses, Tong Guan regained his composure, and had a bit of a general's demeanor, pointing to Xin Xingzong and said: "Everyone has also seen that the soldiers are roaring outside, beating Shangguan everywhere, and the commanders of the armies may not be able to go out at this time, so it is better to stay in the camp and wait until the camp is slowly subsided, and then go out to rectify the subordinates." ”

The generals below didn't have a bottom in their hearts at the moment, and when they heard Tong Guan say this, they pushed the boat along the river, and no one took the initiative to ask Ying to go out to clean up the situation. Han Shizhong of the Second Army in Zhenbei came back to Bingdao and had completed the whole team, but the rebels blocked the road in the camp and could not go out of the battle, Tong Guan immediately transferred the Second Army to the vicinity of the Shuai Tent, and the cavalry dismounted, and some of the soldiers of the First Army and the Third Army who were originally stationed next to the Shuai Tent set up antler bows and crossbows, etc., as long as the chaotic soldiers approached, they shot out the arrows.

In this way, the following dozen generals were deployed in the Hebei battalion, and they were almost until dawn in the noise of the chaotic soldiers, listening to the sounds outside. Because Han Shizhong is a good general, Tong Guan ordered him to be responsible for guarding the commander's tent, and sent people to report the situation outside every other incense stick. The rebels of the battalion are not organized, in addition to looting and brawling everywhere, wave after wave rushed to the front of the tent, and were scattered by a random arrow, some continued to wander in the camp, and some simply opened the door of the camp and left the camp to plunder the nearby villages, this group of rebels is so many, there are steps and horses, even the more than 3,000 Hu cavalry of the Keree Department who have been wandering outside can not be stopped, after several short battles, the cavalry of the Kereb Department saw that although the Song army was scattered, but it poured out of the camp in an endless stream, so they retreated two miles to the north.

Like other rebels, Zhao Xingde couldn't enter the Shuai camp, a little closer to the random arrows shooting, shouting loudly, the sound was not clear at all, the fire was extinguished in the dark, no one could see who was fifty steps away, he didn't dare to risk his life, found a set of ordinary forbidden army robes to cover outside, and carefully avoided those soldiers who fought with each other for various reasons, because there were constantly soldiers leaving the camp, and the chaos in the camp was indeed slowly decreasing, and the sound of noisy brawls was also, But just as the day was about to dawn, louder sounds and fires erupted outside. When Zhao Xingde heard this, he was immediately shocked, and the rebels shouted: "The Liao people are here!" "Liao cavalry!"

At this time, there are a large number of Liao cavalry on all sides of the Hebei camp, a large number, sharp armor, looking out from the wall of the camp, only to feel that the mountains are all over the Liao cavalry constantly shaking torches, it seems that an endless stream of Liao cavalry from the back of the col not far away poured out, everywhere, the sky is slightly dawning, the first thing that appears in the distance is not the morning glow, but the smoke rising everywhere, that is the Liao cavalry along the way ignited post stations and farmhouses are burning.

"It's really heaven helping Da Liao!" Yelu Dashi was surrounded by hundreds of Tielin cavalry, and the horse whip pointed to the Hebei camp with four holes, and shouted: "Set fire to the camp and capture Tong Guan alive!" ”
