As soon as these people finished speaking, they saw that Yang Guozhu, Zu Dabi and others had already arrived on the street in front of the Bell and Drum Tower. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Peng Haigu immediately shouted upstairs: "Brothers of the Guangwu Camp and Zhenwu Battalion, listen up! In front of us, the Inspector of Ningyuan City will immediately make a way for the Inspector! ”

I heard that it was Lu Shanji, the governor of Jiliao, and the two battalions of chaotic soldiers under the bell and drum tower were in a commotion, and they all retreated one after another, and some simply knelt on the ground and shouted with a crying voice: "Lord Inspector spare your life!" ”

Peng Qigu looked at the morale on his side, glanced at a few people upstairs, and sighed secretly in his heart. Although thousands of people came to their own side and surrounded the small bell and drum tower layer after layer, their morale was still not high!

In fact, no matter what era it is, mutiny is a serious crime, and even for the lowest non-commissioned officers themselves, participating in the mutiny is not a glorious thing.

After all, in the hearts of people in this era, the three platforms and five permanent still play a role. The soldiers were angry for a while, and they were instigated by others, and they might follow the crowd to cause chaos, but once they calmed down and thought about it, even these old and coarse people who couldn't read a few big characters knew that they might have done a bad job.

Lu Shanji looked at the situation of the other party's chaotic soldiers, and also knew that as long as he maintained restraint today, there would definitely be no problem in safety, so he didn't say anything, and went straight to the bell and drum tower with Fang Zhenghua and Yang Guozhu, and followed Peng Haigu's people to the bell and drum tower, leaving only Zu Dabi with his own team to confront the rebels under the bell and drum tower.

Lu Shanji and Fang Zhenghua came upstairs, and saw Peng Qigu and others walking quickly, standing three or four steps away, and then kneeling on one knee, making a military salute, and saying: "Peng Qigu, the lowly general of the Guangwu Battalion, has seen the Supervisor!" In the past few days, the soldiers of the Zhenwu Battalion and the Guangwu Battalion have mutinied, and their inferior ranks cannot be restrained, so that they have made a big mistake. ”

Lu Shanji just looked at Peng Qigu and the others coldly, and ignored them, but slowly walked to the breastwork of the upper floor, and gently slapped the arrow battlements on the city tower with his hand.

After a while, he turned back to Peng Qigu and said, "Peng Qigu, you and Zhang Zhengchao will stay together, and everyone else will retreat downstairs!" ”

When Peng Haigu heard this, he was a little surprised for a while, and he was a little hesitant, looked at the people around him, and did not speak.

Seeing this, Lu Shan said to Yang Guozhu: "Yang Guozhu, you also go downstairs and wait, it is enough to leave me and Father-in-law Fang here!" ”

When Yang Guozhu heard this, he looked at Fang Zhenghua and saw that Fang Zhenghua didn't care at all, so he turned around and went downstairs with a few entourage.

Seeing this, Peng Qigu also hurriedly signaled Li Mingfu and Wu Guoqi to leave.

In a moment, on the bell and drum tower in the center of Ningyuan City, there were only four people left: Lu Shanji, Fang Zhenghua, Peng Haigu, and Zhang Zhengchao.

At this time, Lu Shanji said to Peng Qigu and Zhang Zhengchao: "Previously, the Ministry asked people to bring you a message, what is the result you agreed upon?" ”

Peng Qigu said: "Report to the Governor, the lowly rank knows that it is a serious crime to go out of the camp to make trouble and attack the official office, not to mention that the general sentence of Lord Zhang and the official Lord Su also died in the chaos, although the court governor Lang Zhongbai Lord did not die at the hands of the rebels, but it is also directly related to this rebellion. As a military general of the imperial court, I am ashamed of the trust of the imperial court, and I am also very remorseful in my heart......"

As soon as he said this, he was interrupted by Lu Shanji.

Lu Shanji said: "Don't talk this nonsense again! Peng Haigu, the headquarters came to meet with you today because I want to hear your reply, what should the imperial court do, so that you are willing to hand over Guo Guang, the deputy envoy of the military garrison, and hand over the rebels who looted the market and attacked the official office, so as to quell this military rebellion! ”

Hearing this, Peng Qigu looked at Zhang Zhengchao, gritted his teeth and said: "The lowly rank is just coerced by the chaotic soldiers, and I really never thought of betraying the court by mutiny. Now, as long as the imperial court has a will, pardoning the Guangwu Battalion and the Zhenwu Battalion and the general officials above the general level, the mutiny can be eliminated today. ”

After Peng Qigu finished speaking, he looked at Lu Shanji nervously and stopped talking.

At this time, Fang Zhenghua, who was standing on the side, suddenly said: "It's not that such a will can't be given to you. It's just that the imperial court has its own laws, and you and others mutinied, burned and plundered the streets, robbed the treasury of the official government, and the three court officials died in the rebellion. ”

Hearing this, Peng Haigu said: "Dare to ask where this adult is sacred? Probably on behalf of the imperial court? ”

Lu Shanji glanced at Peng Haigu and Zhang Zhengchao, and said, "This is the envoy sent by the Holy Lord today, the Governor of Dongchang and the Father-in-law of Fangzhenghua. ”

As soon as Lu Shanji finished speaking, Peng Qigu and Zhang Zhengchao were all taken aback, and Peng Qigu even hugged his fists and bowed down in a panic and said: "I don't know that the governor is in front of me, please forgive the governor!" ”

Seeing that Fang Zhenghua was silent, Peng Qigu said again: "Before, the Supervisor sent someone to pass the word, and we and others handed over the main culprits of the mutiny and the people who committed the most heinous crimes. We have agreed that if the imperial court decrees a pardon for us, we are willing to release the deputy military envoy Guo, and hand over the twenty masterminds and culprits of the mutiny, and the imperial court will bring them to justice. ”

After listening to Peng Haigu, Lu Shanji said: "Peng Hairpin Gu, Peng Hairpin Gu, it seems that you are still obsessed!" Now, do you think that just twenty rebels can forgive your sins? ”

At this time, Zhang Zhengchao said: "I don't know how many rebels we have to hand over to the crime in the heart of the Governor, so that the court can pardon us." Please let the Overseer know! ”

Lu Shanji and Fang Zhenghua glanced at each other and said: "One of the ten people is selected to kill him, this so-called eleven killing, only in this way can the sin be forgiven." ”

When Peng Haigu and Zhang Zhengchao heard this, they looked at each other, and they were all shocked, of course they understood the meaning.

If the eleventh is killed, the two battalions, with a total of more than 3,600 people, will have to hand over more than 360.

After a while, Peng Haigu came back to his senses and suddenly asked, "Eleven Kill, I don't know if the package does not include our generals and officers?" ”

When Zhang Zhengchao heard this, he also quickly raised his head and stared at Lu Shanji.

Lu Shanji knew that these two people would have this question, so he immediately said: "As for whether the package does not include you, it is naturally up to you to go back to the camp to discuss and decide." ”

After saying this, Lu Shanji said again: "Wait for you for twelve hours, and at noon tomorrow, you and the two of you must personally bind the people who were drawn and escort them to the north gate to be beheaded." If the time passes, the headquarters will personally lead the army to quell the chaos, and then you will die without a place to be buried. Don't be unpredictable. ”

After saying this, Lu Shanji nodded at Fang Zhenghua, and the two immediately went downstairs, and after a while, they took Yang Guozhu and Zu Dabi's subordinates and rode away, leaving only Peng Qigu and Zhang Zhengchao in a daze on the bell and drum tower.

When Lu Shanji, Fang Zhenghua and others returned to the tower of Ningyuan's north gate, they learned that Zu Kuan's troops stationed in Tashan had 2,000 cavalry and had rushed to camp outside Ningyuan City.

It didn't take long for Wu Xiang to report that Jin Guan, the deputy general of the garrison of Juehua Island, also brought 3,000 foot soldiers from Juehua Island to help, and now he had arrived outside the east gate and asked to enter the city and station.

Hearing that Zu Kuan's troops came to help, Lu Shanji was already happy in his heart, and then heard that the golden crown of Juehua Island had also arrived at the east gate, and his heart was even more determined, and he immediately ordered Zu Dabi to send people to the east gate to give orders.

The first is to hand over the defense of the East Gate to Jin Guan, and the second is to invite Jin Guan and Zu Kuan to come to the North Gate Tower to discuss matters.

It didn't take long for Zu Kuan and Jin Guan to come to the north gate one after another, and met Lu Shanji and Fang Zhenghua, the governor of Dongchang, and these two people learned that the great eunuch in front of the emperor came to Ningyuan, and they were naturally excited, knowing that the time for meritorious service had come.

Lu Shanji told his generals about the meeting with Peng Qigu and Zhang Zhengchao on the Bell and Drum Tower, and then arranged the tasks of each general, and finally asked the generals present what their opinions were.

At this time, Zu Kuan said: "Now our troops in Ningyuan City are nearly 10,000, and the rebels are only two battalions, and the department is only 4,000. ”

Jin Guan also said: "Master Inspector, what Zu Guerrilla said is reasonable. If you don't feel at ease, tonight, presumably the reinforcements of the left and middle and rear stations will arrive, and then the army of Ningyuan City will gather, and there will be only 4,000 chaotic soldiers, and they can be leveled in one go. Besides, these rebels have no loyalty, and how will they be settled if they are appeased? ”

Lu Shanji and Fang Zhenghua glanced at each other and said, "What you and the two of you said makes sense, but if you can destroy this chaotic army without moving a single soldier, why not do it?" Thou shalt be at ease. ”
