Chapter 537: Drumming and Gathering Generals
Azig walked around the tent like a trapped beast, and the grim situation made him so anxious that he had no intention of sleeping even though it was late at night.
"Amma!" His son, Fleur, who had gone out to patrol the camp, rushed in.
"What's the matter?" Azigho stopped, glaring at his son.
"Amma, the Eight Banners patrolling the camp came to report, and the Ming army sneaked into the water camp by boat."
"Whose camp did you enter?" Azig hurriedly asked, at this time, the Ming army really refused to stop, if there was a green battalion that was moved by it, what was waiting for him would be a catastrophe.
"According to investigation, the Ming army entered the water camp of Zhang Yingxiang, the chief soldier of the green battalion!"
"Zhang Yingxiang!" Azig gritted his teeth, it was Zhang Yingxiang and Chang Deng who were captured by the Ming army in the water battle and released back, which made the green battalion soldiers shocked. I didn't expect them to dare to have an affair with the Ming army!
"You go and order five thousand eight flags, and at dawn tomorrow I will be killed in Zhang Yingxiang and Chang Deng's camp, and everyone will be killed!"
Azig said angrily, he must use thunder tactics to deter Xiaoxiao!
"Yes, Amma!" Fleur went down excitedly.
As he spoke, his mouth was dry, Azig picked up the teacup on the table, drank the tea in one gulp, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he slammed the teacup on the ground.
"Oooo
"Lord Wang, Li Guoying, the chief soldier of the Green Battalion, asks to see you!" A Goshha appeared at the mouth of the tent and addressed Azig.
"Let him in!" Azig pondered for a moment and commanded. Among the generals of the Green Battalion, Li Guoying was the most loyal to the Qing Dynasty, and last time he reported Xu Entai and Hao Xiaozhong for rebellion, and offered advice to deal with Xu Entai and Hao Xiaozhong to stabilize the situation in the Green Camp.
"Meet the prince!"
Li Guoying entered the tent and respectfully knelt down on his knees and kowtowed to Azig.
"Tell me, something." Azig stared at Li Guoying and asked coldly, but he didn't say anything to get him up.
"Back to the prince, the last general got a message that the Ming army had infiltrated Zhang Yingxiang's camp. Zhang Yingxiang and Chang Deng and others had been captured by the Ming army before, and the last general was afraid that they would collude with the Ming army to try to rebel, so he came to report to the prince. Li Guoying said respectfully.
Listening to Li Guoying's words, Azig's face suddenly softened, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotion in his heart, it turned out that among the generals of the Green Battalion, there were really people who were loyal to the Qing Dynasty and loyal to themselves.
"General Li is loyal to me, this king is really moved, please hurry up."
In order to express his appreciation, Azig condescended to his dignity, walked a few steps, and personally helped Li Guoying up.
"Mr. Li, what do you think about this matter?" Azig remembered the last time Xu Entai and Hao Xiaozhong rebelled, Li Guoying's safe handling method, and couldn't help asking.
Li Guoying kowtowed gratefully, and then stood up, "Back to the prince, you must use thunderous means to kill Zhang Yingxiang and Chang Deng and others, and exterminate their army." Destroy the sprouts of rebellion and annihilate rebellion with thunder, so as to deter other wrongdoers. ”
"Oh? Didn't you use the form of killing the first evil to appease his subordinates last time, why did you advocate being tough this time? Azig asked puzzledly, Zhang Yingxiang Changdeng and Lu Guangzu, who were good friends with them, had an army of thirty or forty thousand, if they sent troops to kill these thirty or forty thousand people, it would definitely cause chaos in the green battalion, which Azig did not want to see, and it was also the consequence that he thought of after calming down.
"Lord Wang, now it's not as good as before, the news of the loss of Jiujiang came, and the hearts of the entire camp were fluctuating, and Zhang Yingxiang and Changdeng were not the only ones who wanted to rebel. Only by using thunderous means can we deter the armies! Li Guoying said coldly.
"Nope." Azig shook his head slowly, he had the same idea as Li Guoying at first, but after calming down, he realized that it was a bad idea.
Zhang Yingxiang and tens of thousands of people in the Changden camp, in fact, they can all be killed in a hurry? What if the Ming army takes the opportunity to attack? What if the other green camp rabbits and dead foxes are sad and make trouble? What awaited the Qing army would be a major defeat.
"Is there any other way?" Azig looked at Li Guoying with hopeful eyes.
"The prince can summon all the generals of the green battalion to come to the Chinese army camp in the name of deliberations, as long as Zhang Yingxiang and Chang Dengken are willing to come, they can be arrested, so that their subordinates will not dare to make trouble. , so maybe it can be reversed. Li Guoying thought about it and suggested.
"What if Zhang Yingxiang, Chang Deng and others refuse to come?" Azig asked.
"If they don't even listen to the king's call, it means that the opposition has been decided, and the only way is to send troops to destroy it." Li Guoying sighed.
"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Azig said categorically.
......
Early the next morning, in the camp of the Eight Banners, four huge cowhide war drums were beaten, and the dull sound of drums spread in the dust into the distance.
The drums of war for the Azig generals! In the green camp camp, the chief soldier Zhang Yingxiang listened attentively, his face was shocked.
"Brother Zhang, what should we do?" Chang Deng and Lu Guangzu hurriedly ran into Zhang Yingxiang's camp and asked Zhang Yingxiang eagerly.
The three-way drum did not arrive, and according to the military regulations of the Qing army, the general was executed according to the law.
"I'm afraid it's leaked!" Zhang Yingxiang frowned. Last night, the envoys of the Ming army came at night, and the three of them talked with the envoys all night, and agreed to meet with the outside world on a later day. Unexpectedly, Azig beat the drum early in the morning, which made Zhang Yingxiang suspicious.
"Maybe it's just a coincidence, but Azig is really talking about the generals?" Chang Deng hesitated.
"Do you want to put our brothers' lives in the hands of Mantar?" Lu Guangzu glared at Chang Deng and reprimanded. Some time ago, he was defeated in the water battle, and he was beaten by Azig with twenty military sticks, and he couldn't get out of bed for many days, which made him hate Azig very much.
If the matter really leaked, the three of them going to the Azig camp would be tantamount to killing themselves, and the three of them knew this.
"So what to do?" Chang Deng muttered.
"In my opinion, let's just turn the other way around, send someone to send a letter to Pingnanhou, and ask him to send troops to meet us!" Lu Guangzu suggested.
"Okay, send a letter to Pingnanhou immediately! As soon as the Pingnan Army arrives, we will pull the flag and return to the right! Zhang Yingxiang gritted his teeth and said categorically.
In the Azig camp, several drummers are still beating the war drums vigorously, and it is already the third drum beat.
In the tent, Azig's face became darker and darker.
More than 200,000 green battalions, more than 20 general soldiers, 50 or 60 deputy generals, staff generals, guerrilla generals, and less than half of the tents arrived at this time, and more than 30 people came to the tents!
