Chapter Eighty-Three: Rupture

In fact, in order to bring her out of Danyang one day in the future, there were seventy of the Dai family's generals lurking in Danyang, the dead soldiers, those assassins and heroes of various sects who could support the Dai family. Dai Shizong knew that his young lady actually instigated Ye Tao to make such a big move, so he was angry and ruthless. He didn't wait for Xiling's envoys to go to the banquet, and went directly to the door. Seventy people wearing masks in various disguised clothes and under the leadership of several masters divided into several ways to attack the mission station, and although they met considerable resistance, they still killed all the two hundred Xiling missions at the cost of eleven people. After taking away the body, he also set fire to the garden.

Subsequently, with the exception of the temporarily hired masters of various sects and the freelancers among the Assassins, Dai Shizong gathered all those involved in the matter and went directly to the Forbidden Army Governor's Mansion to surrender. The officers on duty that day were at a loss.

Soon after, the few officers and midshipmen who were unwilling to participate in the "transportation" of the two armies were thrown into the city gates, shouting "The bloody army has rebelled!" The Fire Qi Army is reversed! "Rushed to the nearest city gate guardhouse, causing a panic.

Soon after, the verified news came one after another...... The two armies have already set out for the fierce blood army and the fire qi army under the jurisdiction of the government...... The whereabouts of Ye Tao, Dai Yun and others are unknown...... The alert troops of the Tiecheng construction site encountered the scout flag team of the fierce blood army, and the inquiry was unsuccessful and was "disarmed...... The Fierce Blood Army and the Fire Qi Army took a battle marching posture and passed through the Iron City line at full speed......

A series of news shocked the ministers who were meeting in the council hall to discuss the current situation, and they didn't know what to say.

"Nonsense!" Tan Xiaopei slapped the table and shouted: "Military affairs, is it something that their children are playing with?!"

Tan Xiaopei glanced at Chi Xianping, who was shrunk aside and silent, and roared angrily: "Look at the good son you trained." Chi Lei ran away with Ye Tao, didn't your Chi Yun know in advance? Devils believe it. ”

Since the general Zhuo Mang has now gone to send troops to help, he is not in Danyang, in fact, Di Chi Xianping, who is in the position of Tai Lieutenant, is already the highest person in charge of the military in Danyang, and he didn't expect to suddenly cause such a big mess. If Tan Xiaopei wants to be investigated. Even he has to be implicated in such a big trouble. But now that it is a fait accompli, all he has to consider is how to stabilize the situation. Chi Xianping thought for a while, and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, there is no way for the ministers to teach their sons, and the crime deserves death." However, the most important thing now is to see how this matter is handled. ”

Pang Rong, a scholar of Yong'an Temple, who has always supported the collegiate agreement between the two countries and even the later harmony, said: "Your Majesty, the sins of Ye Tao, Dai Yun and others are unforgivable. Kill the envoys without permission, and put the two countries into nothing. Once the news leaks out, the matter of peace between the two countries will be extremely uncertain. According to the minister's intentions, the most important thing now is to send envoys to contact the Xiling army as soon as possible, and send a large army to intercept the rebel army, and sacrifice the heads of Ye Tao and others to win the trust of Xiling. Only in this way will it be possible for the two countries to maintain peace and affinity. ”

At such a military meeting, the statement of such a capitulation faction immediately aroused the rolling eyes of many military figures present. The old general Xu Jingtian asked with white eyes: "Say it lightly." Where to find the army to intercept? How to intercept? ”

Shang Shuyan Siping, who has always been close to Pang Rong, heard Xu Jingtian's dissatisfaction, and hurriedly played a round: "There is no need for a large army, as long as there is a sergeant who can catch up with the two armies, can they still attack their own people?" ”

The commander of the forbidden army, Zha Ziming, touched his chin and said, "Impossible." There were 10,000 people in the Fire Qi Army and the Fierce Blood Army, and there were 13,000 horses. That's it. But if these two armies want to talk about marching, I'm afraid that Dongping can't catch up with them. Moreover, how could they not know that they could be intercepted? Although he can't attack his own people, he will be disarmed by them in vain if there are fewer people. Military funding was also replenished. If there are too many people, won't they hide? Is there any other army in the world that can compare to the scout troops of the fierce blood army? Cha Ziming pondered for a while and said: "With their training and equipment, if they want to go deep behind the enemy to toss, although losses are inevitable, but to say that they can hold back the opponent's army for two months, is it really very possible?" ”

Pang Rong said angrily: "Ridiculous! How can 10,000 people compete with an army of 200,000? ”

Several people present looked at Pang Rong, a guy who didn't understand military affairs at all, and he didn't want to say much today, and Chi Xianping couldn't help but say: "Fighting a war is not just less than many people. The two armies consulted the mansion with a lot of guys who pondered tricks all day long, and there were excellent scouts. With their unrivalled ability to march, who can force them into a duel between two armies? In terms of combat strength, the 10,000 people of the two armies are equivalent to 15,000 forbidden troops, and there is no problem at all with 3 to 50,000 ordinary troops. Among the 200,000 troops in Xiling, what can be compared to them are only those guards in the Chinese army camp. ”

Cha Ziming nodded. He said: "Anyway, this is already the case, and it is not that we cannot fight, but even if we win the war, it is not cost-effective to discuss it." Things that can be warned. It really can't be counted like that. Although Ye Tao and Dai Yun are guilty of tampering with the army. But they are indeed bloody, and their hands and tails are clean. Do as I say. Just fight. ”

Gao Zhen stood up at this time and said, "Your Majesty, there is no other choice at this time, but to fight with all your might." What Master Pang said about offering Ye Tao's head to Xiling to apologize is actually impossible. What is Zhu Qi's identity, and what is Ye Tao's identity? When the time comes, Xiling said that he would let the conspirators apologize together, do these people kill or not? Cut Dai Yun? Or take the lives of so many outstanding sons of my Dongping to please the enemy country? ”

Gao Zhen's words made several generals in the military more satisfied, and even Tan Xiaopei nodded secretly.

Tan Xiaopei sighed and said, "Yes, the two armies have checked the government, and most of them are the best among the younger generation of my Dongping, and they have a bright future. I really don't understand why they would follow Ye Tao to go crazy. Is this kid really that capable? ”

Xu Jingtian stood up and said: "Your Majesty, since you can only fight one battle now, then, on the one hand, you must believe in the ability of Ye Tao and Dai Yun, and they will definitely be able to create enough momentum in the hinterland of the enemy army to contain the enemy army and make it unable to advance." On the other hand, it is also necessary to make various preparations. First of all. It was imperative to strengthen the defenses of Ningshi City and Baishi City, and once the Xiling army broke through the Ningshi City-Baishi City line, whether they succeeded or not, it would be in vain. Secondly, if we speed up the progress of the assembly of our Dongping army, and launch a full-front counterattack one day earlier, then the pressure on the Huoqi Army and the Fierce Blood Army will be less, and if they still retain a certain combat strength at that time. Behind enemy lines, they will be a weapon to break the enemy's territory. Third, create a situation conducive to the activities of the Fire Qi Army and the Fierce Blood Army. These two armies will not fight the enemy army by themselves when they go deep behind enemy lines, but under the encirclement and interception, it is inevitable that they may be trapped in the ground. At the same time as our army is assembled, we must deploy our troops on the front line, forcing the other side to spend a large amount of military strength on confronting our army, except for the line between Ningshi City and Baishi City. The northern and southern lines might as well shrink back a little and lure the other side forward, so that the two armies can have more room to maneuver when they check the 10,000 people under the government. ”

After thinking about it. Tan Xiaopei nodded. He saw Xu Jingtian frowning and asked, "What else does Old Xu have to say?" ”

Xu Jingtian said: "Although they are a little reckless, among these 10,000 people, there are indeed the best officers in Dongping. The future is immeasurable, and the children of all ethnic groups are even more numerous. It would be a shame to just watch them go deep behind enemy lines and then slowly lose their casualties. If possible, it's best to send an elite army to support it. ”

Tan Xiaopei's brows furrowed, and he said, "But where to move out an elite army?" ”

Chi Xianping said: "...... Although he caused trouble, Chi Lei's child is usually liked by the uncles and uncles in the clan. The Chi family also has a number of generals and soldiers in their hometown. There are also some friends who have watched Chi Lei grow up and have martial arts, if Your Majesty allows it, the minister wants to bring these people out......"

Chi Xianping made everyone pause. Although the strength of the Dongpingshi clan is not as strong as that of Chunnan and Xiling, and no family has the strength of the gate valve level or has the potential to become a gate valve, each clan still has its own set of systems. Many big families are simply a small kingdom. The children of the Fire Qi Army and the Fierce Blood Army are brave to die, but those big families will not watch their own children die, and everyone will make up some people. It's still very feasible. In terms of the friendship of "martial arts masters". The family and the royal family have their own merits. There are many children of the inner court guards, and members of the Dongping royal family are around. There are also many masters of various factions, and there are quite a few masters of the major clans. Although the number of people in this part of the force is bound to be large, as long as it is used properly, it will play a very large role.

"Then ......" Tan Xiaopei thought for a while and said, "You let your family Chi Yun be in charge of this matter." Regardless of whether they can win two months for Dongping, I will not pursue the affairs of your Chi family. ”

Chi Xianping let out a long sigh, took a deep look, and said, "The minister obeys the order." ”

After these emergency treatments, Tan Xiaopei issued a series of orders in accordance with the opinions of the imperial historians and officials. But very little has been implemented. …… To arrest Ye Laogen and the other members of the Ye clan and put them in prison? It's a pity that Tan Weixin has already taken the first step to take all these people to the princess's mansion, and Tan Weiying has brought Dai Yuege and Dai Qiuyan's father and daughter to his own embroidery garden. As soon as the two princesses made such a move, no one could do anything about it. Want to put Ye Tao's senior brothers in prison? It doesn't seem to be possible either. The Yip's Workshop is now working hard to produce ordnance for the military, or contribute to the construction of the Iron City, and only a few people are doing things that have nothing to do with the state apparatus in Dongping. Yan Siping, the secretary of the Ministry of War, reminded Tan Xiaopei later, and Tan Xiaopei changed the order to arrest and go to prison to monitor and retain. Tan Xiaopei understands very well that Ye Tao's impulse is for his daughter, even if he violates many laws, so what? He didn't even want his own life. How to deal with Ye Tao himself is one thing, but from a father's point of view, he takes it for granted to keep the Ye family.

Compared to these, his other hand is much more ferocious. Tan Xiaopei gave an order, and all the Xiling secret agents who were discovered and monitored were arrested one after another. Although there must be something deeper, this kind of behavior is just an indication of attitude. Knowing that there was no other way than to fight hard, and no matter what, he would not lose a daughter, Tan Xiaopei instructed the whole country to run.
