"What about the lieutenant? Where is the rule? What about the commanders of the armies? ”

Liu Shi frowned and asked, "You quickly find them all in the handsome tent." He was suspicious in his heart, and looked around vigilantly, and the soldiers all looked panicked and suspicious, obviously not knowing what was happening, and they didn't look like they were going to mutiny or rebel. Seeing this, the guards also took steps to protect Liu Shi in the middle, but at this time, they were in the southeast camp, if they really wanted to do it, these four people would not be enough to stuff their teeth.

"The marshal is sick, if you don't order it today, all the generals are not in the camp."

Liu Shi then remembered that long before the Northern Expedition, the officers of the southeast camp did not have to live in the camp, but lived with their wives and children in other houses.

"Hateful!" Liu Shi looked at the officer in front of him and said sharply: "Then you come to receive the Jun Decree and lead the army into the city to quell the 'chaos'!" ”

"Huh? My lord, I can't afford it. The officer was frightened, and knelt down as soon as his legs were 'messy', and said with a crying voice: "My lord spares his life, the last general is just a military envoy, and the army is in chaos, in case something 'messy', the last general can't afford it." ”

Not only did he not dare to accept the order, but the soldiers next to him were also shocked and looked at Liu Shi and the others in disbelief. In the military system of the Great Song Dynasty, the command was the most basic unit, the officers were military envoys, and the subordinates were up to 500 soldiers. Outside the Wuchang 'gate', there are more than 50,000 people and horses in the southeast battalion, that is, more than 100 commanders, plus they are often transferred inside and outside, and the relationship between commanders and commanders is also complicated, some are very strange, and some are hostile to each other. When a military envoy suddenly leads a large army out of the camp, he does not know what kind of big 'chaos' will be caused.

Seeing this, Liu Shi came to his senses. Although he is a 'squire' in the military department, he has never led a soldier, and he is mainly in charge of military registration, baggage, and transportation, and he is in a hurry, so he didn't think about it so much for a while. Now I am afraid, Da Song has always said that good men should not be soldiers. Although many soldiers threw their pens into the army, and the military department recruited the common people to enrich the forbidden army, the large military camp was still full of assassins, murderers, robbers, landless peasants, and scoundrels. If there is no general to suppress, 50,000 horses and horses will enter Ezhou like wolves, in case of loss of control and military disasters, I am afraid that it will be a catastrophe greater than the troubles caused by the trouble.

Liu Shi hesitated for a moment, but still dispelled the idea of leading his troops into the city, and called over two guards and ordered: "This official is here to sit, you should go and report the situation here quickly, and ask the Prime Minister to decide." While letting the officer stand up, he ordered, "This official is under the order of Prime Minister Jun, you quickly send soldiers to ask General Wang, as well as the commanders and army commanders." 100,000 urgent, no matter what, let them come to the camp to see their own officer. In addition, what other officers do you know in the battalion, let them see their officers immediately. In addition, the camp was closed to the 'gate' of the camp, and no one was allowed to enter or leave without the permission of the officer. ”

After the assignment was completed, Liu Shi took a deep breath, pressed his mind, and let the officers in the battalion lead the way, and went to the Chinese military tent to wait first.

The two guards hurried away and returned the way they came, finding that there were more and more people gathered on Suzaku Street. Hundreds of forbidden swords and guns were unsheathed, forming a horizontal formation to protect the big 'gate' of the Prime Minister's Mansion, however, compared with the crowds of "chaotic" people, this point of people seems to be lonely. Clusters of rotten vegetable leaves, pebbles flew out of the crowd and smashed on the forbidden army, and they did not dare to fight back. Once the forbidden army is pulled out by the crowd, I am afraid that they will be beaten to death by the 'chaotic' stick.

"Rush in! Expelle Chen Dong! "Thief!"

"Chen Dong came out and made things clear!" "Why does the Ministry of Rites deliberately delay the public discussion of impeachment?"

"Chen Dong come out!" "Chen Dong come out!" "Chen Dong come out!"

"If Chen Dong doesn't come out again, we'll drag him out!"

A loud voice came into the signing room, Chen Dong's face was extremely ugly, he didn't expect that he would be slandered like this. He picked up the teacup, took a sip, and slammed it on the table as he put it down. At this time, there was a sound of knocking footsteps outside the 'door', but it was the guard who reported the news and returned, panting and saying: "Prime Minister, the king is deployed to be sick and can't take care of things, and the generals of the southeast camp are not in the camp. ”

"What?" Deng Su's face changed suddenly, and his eyes looked at the guard like a pinprick, "None of the generals are here?" ”

"Yes, the last general will not dare to deceive. Lord Liu has sent someone to ask the king to deploy, the commanders, and the commanders of the armies. ”

"How, how is this good?" Ezhou prefect Chai Gu panicked all of a sudden, he thought that as soon as the army arrived, the 'chaos' situation outside would immediately be 'shaken' flat, who would have expected that at this fateful time, Wang Gui actually called himself sick, and all the generals in the camp were also wise to protect themselves, now, how to clean up? There are hundreds of officials in Ezhou Prefecture, and some old officials secretly took off their public soap clothes and sneaked home to hide when they saw that the 'chaos' was big, why were the officers of the forbidden army so slippery? Ezhou is known as a million households, and the outside is 'chaotic' like a pot of porridge, and without the general commanding the forbidden army, it will not be able to end.

Chen Dong's brows furrowed tightly, and he was silent. Wang Gui said that he was sick, and he immediately thought of the consequences. The most taboo thing in the army is that the generals don't know, not to mention the 'chaos' in Beijing, a careless, the wrong 'handover' of military power, is the result of Tai'a's reversal. Without the suppression of the powerful generals, tens of thousands of 'chaotic' soldiers rampaged through Ezhou, and the fierce general of the disaster was far greater than the 'chaos' of Confucianism. Wang Gui planned to protect himself, but for a while, his prestige was outside, where would anyone replace the commander of the army to quell the 'chaos'?

"Alas! How is it good? Chai Gu is like an ant on a hot pot, and he doesn't choose to speak, "How can it be good to have soldiers and no generals?" ”

"It's not possible to have soldiers or generals," Deng Su hesitated slightly, and said in a loud voice: "There is one person available." ”

"Someone available?" Chen Dong's eyes lit up slightly, looking at Deng Su, the two 'exchanged' eyes, or Chen Dong spoke first: "You mean, Zhao Yuanzhi?" As if a stone broke the calm water, mentioning the somewhat taboo name "Zhao Yuanzhi", Chai Gu, Wen Xunzhi, and Lin Zhenggan raised their heads at the same time, Deng Su nodded slightly: "Zhao Yuanzhi is known as a good general, and he has been in charge of the southeast camp, and the prestige is still there, let him lead the troops to quell the 'chaos', and he will be able to deter Xiaoxiao." ”

"But......" Wen Xunzhi hesitated, "Zhao Yuanzhi and Xia Guo......"

"He has an old relationship with Xia Guo," Deng Su shook his head and said, "But it is impossible to conspire with Wu Zilong, right?" There should be a trade-off. ”

"People's hearts are unpredictable," Wen Xunzhi hesitated, "I'm afraid that he will be resentful, and if he takes military power to retaliate, it will be the overthrow of the society." ”

The signing room was quiet, the shouts outside became louder and louder, and everyone looked at Chen Dong.

After a moment of silence, Chen Dong's face showed a hint of determination, and he nodded and said, "Shouyi, I bother you to take a trip, please come over." ”

"Shaoyang ......" Wen Xunzhi was still waiting to be persuaded again, but was interrupted by Chen Dong shaking his head: "I have made up my mind!" Wen Xunzhi opened his mouth wide, and looked at the other people in the room, Deng Su and Lin Zhengan did not say a word, and the guards did not dare to raise their heads, "Alas! He only sighed, no longer persuading, but his 'color' changed. The 'commotion' and 'chaos' outside the Prime Minister's Mansion are getting bigger and bigger. The forbidden army reported that the servants drove the livestock, and even tied firewood and grass to the tail of the ox and lit it, trying to break up the phalanx of the forbidden army at the entrance of the 'gate'.

The Marquis of Wuchang's Mansion is near the Prime Minister's Mansion and not far from the Imperial Palace. In Ezhou, which is in full swing, this is a quiet little world.

Zhao Xingde sat by the wall of the backyard as usual, flipping through the books and listening carefully to the movement outside.

Zhao Huan's face was worried. The forbidden army of the Hou Mansion originally had more than 300 people, and most of them were transferred away an hour ago, and Zhao Huan inquired only to learn that there were tens of thousands of 'chaotic' people besieging the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the military department had to concentrate the forbidden troops in the Huanghu Mountain City as much as possible, and even the guards in the palace were 'withdrawn' half. How critical is the situation? Zhao Huan glanced at Zhao Xingde worriedly.

A servant of the house took Deng Su through the path of the 'flower' garden. Since Zhao Huan moved into the Hou Mansion, the officials of the imperial court can only come in after the report, not like before they want to come, Deng Su, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, if there is no 100,000 urgent things, it will not be so rude, thinking of this section, Zhao Huanxiu frowned slightly, and gently moved the lotus step to stand behind Zhao Xingde.

"The eldest princess of Wu Guo forgives Weichen for the crime of trespassing in the mansion," Deng Su came to the front and said hurriedly: "There is a big 'chaos' in the city, and the prime minister's mansion is transferred to the southeast to suppress the 'chaos' people, but Wang Gui said that he was sick and there was no general in charge, and Chen Xianggong had decided to let Yuan Zhi lead the troops and restore peace in the city." He reported to Zhao Huan in his mouth, but his eyes were staring at Zhao Xingde, seeing that he seemed to be unmoved, and seemed to be still thinking about it, he was so anxious that he reached out to pull him up, and said: "The situation is as dangerous as a tired egg, and there can be no delay for a moment, Yuan Zhizhi will go with me quickly." ”

"Don't go." Zhao Huan saw Xingde stand up and grabbed his arm. She also doesn't know what the situation is outside, and the party struggle between the DPRK and China has reached the point of being exhausted.

"It's going to be fine." Zhao Xingde patted the back of her hand and said softly in a rare way, "I'll go back when I go." Just between those few breaths just now, he seemed to have made some kind of determination, Zhao Huan let go of his hand sadly, and Zhao Xingde said to Deng Su: "Since the situation can't be delayed, let's go." He smiled at Zhao Huan, followed behind Deng Su, and walked away without looking back. Zhao Huan only felt that all the strength in his body had been 'pumped' dry in an instant, his body shook, holding on to a sycamore, watching his back disappear into the depths of the streets, and muttering: "Nanwu Guanyin Bodhisattva blesses the husband and your peace." ”

Deng Su took Zhao Xingde all the way through the streets and alleys, bypassing crowded places, and still entered the Xiangfu through a small 'gate'. The distance did not go far, I had seen billowing smoke rising from several places in the city, the streets were full of traces of looting, the scoundrels in the market seemed to have increased ten times overnight, except for watching the lively, the timid people hid in their homes and did not dare to go out, the noise of the crowd in the direction of Suzaku Street was incomparable, I don't know what happened, and the cheers were higher than the waves. Zhao Xingde couldn't help frowning.
