Chapter 18: The Canon (2)
February 29, 5th year of Jian'an.
Shouchun, morning, the sky gradually changes.
Looking up at the dark clouds floating in the sky, Feng Hao squinted, symbolically arched his palm on his brow, looked at it very carefully, and then sighed, "It looks like it's going to change the sky?"
Holding the spear in one hand, he looked at the men in front of him, all of them still had serious faces, as if these stunned young people had not yet noticed the changing weather in Shouchun, but at least the captain came to check just now, and he was very satisfied with the team he commanded.
It seems that the auspicious time is about to be said... The palace must be very lively... Thinking of this, Feng Hao couldn't help but step on his feet and glanced in the direction of the palace, and the sound from there still made him yearn for it.
Feng Hao, currently serving as a military commander, in addition to the general, this position is only below the lieutenant in the Eastern Han Dynasty's military establishment, in the final analysis, Feng Hao is also a powerful figure who can command thousands of people.
But his fate is unlucky, his surname is Feng, Feng is also the surname of Jianghuai, but he was born in a side family, but now the daughter of the Feng family is Yuan Shu's original wife, with such a relationship, Feng Hao's military career should have been smooth.
But when he first joined the army a few years ago, he mistakenly joined Chen Lan's subordinates, Chen Lan rebelled, Feng Hao still knew that he was lost, and he guarded his thousands of direct subordinates, and did not follow the two to make trouble. It wasn't until later that Gao Yun killed the two of them, and the matter became dull, but Feng Hao had been idle and did not get Yuan Shu's call.
One person is involved in a lot of trouble, Feng Hao is the fish in the pond, when he felt that his future was already dark, just yesterday he was re-recruited by Yuan Shu's general Ji Ling.
Ji Ling is almost unknown to everyone in Shouchun, Feng Hao is naturally overjoyed to be able to get his recruitment, and he was also filled into the Royal Forest Army by Ji Ling, and his official position remains unchanged!
You must know that this is the Imperial Forest Army, it is the direct army of Yuan Shu, the lord of Jianghuai, at the moment Feng Hao simply saw the hope of life again, and he even suspected that it was his cousin Feng Shi who spoke for himself, because after all, Yuan Shu was also his distant uncle!
Feng Hao has been taught the philosophy of life since he was a child, no matter where he is, he only needs to do his duty, don't look ahead, don't ask questions.
In line with his father's educational creed, Feng Hao did this, although he was a member of the Imperial Forest Army, his team had not yet reached the level of entering the palace, and his task was to be responsible for the security of the military camp in Shouchun City.
His immediate boss Liu Xun has been away for a long time, and after standing for a long time, Feng Hao only felt that his thighs were a little numb, and took the opportunity to rub his thighs, his eyes had already aimed at the friendly army next to him.
Looking at it, his heart sank to the bottom again.
It's a world of difference.
Although his troops also have elite armor, there are always some good and bad in terms of personnel, and if you look at the nearby teams, they are all powerful, fully equipped, and even equipped with a strong crossbow each...
At this moment, Feng Hao finally understood that he was still a marginal figure from beginning to end, his team had no warriors, no strong crossbows, and he didn't even know what Liu Xun was going to do...
Wait a minute! Crossbow!
What are these people doing with strong crossbows? Feng Hao put aside his feelings of loss and jealousy, and finally saw that something was wrong, this was a major day for the lord Yuan Shu to be the emperor, and it was more than enough for the Imperial Forest Army to enforce Shouchun on such a large scale, not to mention that the cost of the strong crossbow was so high that everyone didn't need to equip it!
This kind of posture does not seem to be a regional transfer of forces at all, but more like facing a group of extremely vicious enemies!
Feng Hao's gaze looked forward, if he followed Liu Xu to get the direction, it was the personal army of the great general Zhang Xun, then could it be Zhang Xun who these strong crossbows came to deal with!
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Feng Hao's heart was roaring, Zhang Xun was Yuan Shu's confidant and favorite general, and he also had an excellent friendship with Ji Ling, the commander of the entire Imperial Forest Army, whether it was Zhang Xun's merits or personal friendship, it was impossible for the two military bigwigs to meet each other!
Then there is only one possibility that can make sense.
One of Ji Ling and Zhang Xun is already trying to rebel...
On the auspicious day when Yuan Shu became emperor, at the critical juncture of Shouchun's survival, he said that he wanted to rebel, how bold it was! Feng Hao's cold sweat slowly slipped down his forehead, he had already gotten rid of all distractions, he didn't dare to let his half-reasoning ability continue to develop...
He, Feng Hao, is just a small person, he just wants to mix some meritorious deeds to get ahead, and it must be the safest kind of meritorious service, so that he can live a stable life and protect his children and grandchildren.
But at this moment, a sense of powerlessness pierced Feng Hao's heart, the feeling that he couldn't help himself, that kind of life was not under his control, made him very uncomfortable, he even wanted to take off this armor, he even wanted to continue to return home to relax, but when he looked up and saw a large group of soldiers and horses approaching him, he knew that it was too late.
The sound of horses' hooves stopped, the dust and smoke dissipated, and in Feng Hao's eyes, a man in armor had already walked briskly to him.
He knew this person, this person was also Yuan Shu's favorite general, and even the same name as Zhang Xun Jiling, his name was Qiao Rui.
Qiao Rui is rude, and his character is also brutal, and he will whip the sergeant when he is angry in the army, and he can't nod his head to kill people, but for Qiao Rui, killing people is commonplace.
Qiao Rui walked up to the army that was on standby, stretched out his big hand and grabbed a leader, his eyes were as big as copper bells, and he asked sharply: "Is everything done?" ”
Feng Hao didn't know what the so-called thing was, but the leader who was grabbed by Qiao Rui's big hand was very clear, and he was overwhelmed by Qiao Rui, so he could only reply hesitantly.
"The return will be... Army, most of them do... It's done, I... We've gained a lot of control over this generation, but it's just that General Liu has been going to General Zhang's camp for a long time, no, no, no... I don't see you coming back..."
"Huh?" Qiao Rui's complexion had changed, and his huge eyes turned back and forth a few times, which was a precursor to his anger, only to see Qiao Rui slam the leader to the ground with a hard flick, and scolded.
"Liu Xun, this waste!"
He glanced at the sergeant here, then looked at the road to Zhang Xun's barracks, and said loudly again.
"The traitor Zhang Xun tried to make trouble, I came to clean it up on the order of the lord, everyone came forward with me, and when I met Zhang Xun's thief, I would kill him!"
This sentence spread to several phalanxes, and the effect was not the same, most of the people were calm, and a few teams like Feng Hao were shocked.
Zhang Xun wants to rebel?
Qiao Rui was ordered to beg for thieves?
The doubts in Feng Hao's heart were solved in an instant, his body even trembled a little, he didn't know what he was about to face, but Yu Guang found that the dark clouds above his head were gathering more and more, and his initial thoughts were becoming more and more determined at this moment.
Looks like... It's going to change...
