Chapter 90: The gaze returns to the protagonist
Chen Guanghong saw that he had finally left the Jingbian camp, and said to the leader of Xiucai beside him: "Master Xiucai, we finally came out safely, if it weren't for the big boss and they made a big fuss, the person surnamed Dai still doesn't know when he really trusts us." ”
Chen Guanghong, who is the leader of the show. He was a member of the Qin Wang Army taken in by the cottage at the beginning of last year, and was originally Zhou Shaoteng's subordinate. Because he is willing to endure hardships and learn knowledge and other skills quickly, he is valued by Zhang Mengcheng.
After the Zhang family accepted Zhao'an, the cottage armed forces were reorganized. Chen Guanghong was asked by Zhang Mengcheng to come over, and as a member of the left-behind cavalry team, he began to escort Xiucai. Because Chen Guanghong is very smart, he also learns to read and write with the children in the cottage, which can help Zhang Mengcheng deal with many things. Now he has surpassed Su He and become Zhang Mengcheng's second confidant.
"I originally heard that this Dai Junen has a lot of experience in the north and south, and he should be a very capable official. I can't imagine that doing things so unconsciously will cause us Jindingshan to suffer a lot. Hearing the complaints of his subordinates, Zhang Mengcheng couldn't help but spit out a bad sentence about Dai Junen.
Regarding Dai Junen, who has been detaining him in disguise, although Zhang Mengcheng understands that his actions are indeed for the sake of safety, Xiucai is still somewhat angry and disdainful. Because of the current situation in Nimsayburg, there is also a part of the reason for this civil official who has high literary attainments, but his actual work level is a little slack.
Previously, Zhang Mengcheng rushed to the Jingbian camp east of Ningsai, and first contacted his future eldest brother Cai Xiaozi to discuss the next matters with him. After reaching an agreement with Cai Xiaozi, the two of them reported to Jingbian Bingbei Road on the West Road of Yansui Town.
Because it is not clear what the real situation is in Nimsayburg, and it is also for the opportunity to gain military merit later. Therefore, Zhang Mengjin and his gang did not plan to inform Wu Hongqi, the general of Ningsai, but there were still a lot of grievances of Zhang Mengjin and his gang against Wu Hongqi.
When the two reported the news directly to the new Bing Beidao, Dai Junen did not fully believe what Zhang Mengcheng and Cai Xiaozi said. However, Dai Junen still felt that the matter was very important, so he planned to summon Shen Yikui, Huang Youcai and others to the Jingbian camp first, and then make plans after the situation was investigated.
At the same time, Dai Junen, who was not secretive, actually directly ordered the troops in Jingbian to start a state of alert.
Huang Youcai immediately felt that something was wrong after hearing that Dai Junen had suddenly summoned him. After a little investigation, he found some abnormalities in the Jingbian camp and the Ningsai Fort. So he immediately guessed that the conspiracy might have been leaked, and in order to take the lead, he immediately led his subordinates to rebel.
Dai Junen failed to stop the rebellion, on the one hand, because of Huang Youcai's vigilance, and on the other hand, Dai Junen's methods were too simple and direct.
Among Shen Yikui's subordinates, there were already a large number of border soldiers on the original West Road, and the men and horses in the Jingbian camp where Dai Junen was stationed also had a relationship with the descendants of Ningsai. Therefore, the troops of the Jingbian battalion were on alert, and the soldiers in Ningsai could receive a little bit of news.
What's more, the lessons of the killed Ru to fame are not far away, how can Huang Youcai be so easy to get into the trap. So he secretly led people to arrest Fan Li, a Chinese officer in Ningsai Fort, and Yin Hongji, a moral officer, and it happened that Wu Hongqi, a general of Ningsai, was out on business, so Huang Youcai easily realized his plan to occupy Ningsai.
Later, because Huang Youcai used this as evidence, he proved to the other leaders the strangeness of the government's actions. The descendants, who were afraid that the government was going to settle accounts after the autumn, under the leadership of Huang Youcai, hijacked Shen Yikui and started a rebellion again.
With the name of Shen Yikui, the former ruler of the plate, the descendants around Ningsai were connected with each other, plus some coerced border people, a total of four or five thousand people gathered in Ningsai, where Shen Yikui was located.
And Dai Junen is only preparing for the West Road of Yansui, and his subordinates do not have much direct combat power, so they dare not go out of the city to meet the attack at will. Therefore, the rebels around Ninsai had almost no opponents around them except for Fort Duhe at the beginning of the rebellion.
But because of this, the attention of Shen Yikui and the others has been completely focused on the Zhang family and his group. After the Jingbian camp was temporarily safe, Zhang Mengcheng finally regained his freedom.
"Okay, don't care about Dai Junen, let's hurry to the destination now, they won't wait for us to get ready." Zhang Mengcheng shook his head, and then concentrated on driving the war horse and speeding up the march.
Chen Guanghong, Su He, Ma Jinzhong and others around him all followed closely by Zhang Mengcheng's side, and quickly rushed to the previously planned destination, where there should be mugwort peak's troops waiting for them.
Previously, Shen Yikui's subordinates used some strategies to make Jindingshan fall into passivity, although these strategies were very simple, that is, to plot against some people inside Jindingshan, and then take the opportunity to attack Jindingshan by creating chaos. However, under the carelessness of Zhou Shaoteng and Ma Xiangbo, the real success caused a chaos within Jindingshan.
Several Jindingshan soldiers who were related to Huang Youcai's soldiers took the opportunity to assassinate the leader of the defending cottage. They originally planned to let Jin Dingshan lose their command, so they immediately took advantage of the chaos to occupy the gate of the fortress and let the enemy army enter the city. However, because of the strong defense system in the stockade, they did not succeed completely.
Because Ma Xiangbo was poisoned, he and many people in the cottage temporarily lost their combat effectiveness. Zhou Shaoteng sensed the crisis in advance and successfully killed the assassin because of the keen sense of smell cultivated by the sentry horseman. However, in the next attack of the Shen Yikui army, there was a hole in the defense of Jinding Mountain, which was temporarily in chaos.
The outermost fortifications of Jinding Mountain have been captured by Shen Yikui and his gang, and in order to preserve the living force, Zhou Shaoteng had to further shrink the defensive line. At the same time, he used the carrier pigeons trained by Zhang Mengcheng before to complain to Zhang Mengjin, the big boss of Duhe Fort.
At present, the outermost defense line of Jinding Mountain has been breached, and there have been many attrition of fighters in the cottage. The safety of the nest of Jinding Mountain did cause concern to the Zhang family.
Later, after contacting Artemisia with carrier pigeons, Zhang Mengcheng also indirectly got the current situation of Jindingshan. Although Cai Xiaozi was limited to his position, he had to continue to stay in the Jingbian camp to defend.
However, the left-behind troops at the top of Artemisia were still willing to send a force to accompany Zhang Mengcheng, the preparatory uncle, to act together after getting the permission of the big boss. So Zhang Mengcheng is now planning to join these people, and then look for an opportunity to attack Shen Yikui's rebels.
After Zhang Mengcheng and the others traveled a distance, the sharp-eyed Su He found that there was a situation and immediately began to call the police loudly: "There is a situation on the right." ”
After receiving Su He's alarm, Zhang Mengcheng and the others immediately drew their weapons and looked at their right side vigilantly.
On the wilderness, there was a group of red-armored cavalry that was rapidly advancing in the direction of Zhang Mengcheng and the others, although the leading military flag could not be seen clearly because of the fluttering in the wind. However, the red tassel on the helmet of one of the knights at the front is particularly eye-catching. Moreover, the formation and posture of the opponent's march look very similar to the style of the Jindingshan troops.
"Don't be nervous, it's like you're your own." After Zhang Mengcheng saw the other party's helmet, he had already guessed the identity of the person who came by seven or eight points. However, Zhang Mengcheng was very strange and didn't know why the other party appeared here.
Generally, the helmets of the Jindingshan cavalry are the style of border army helmets with a small flag. Only Ma Xiangzhong was a little special, he did not have a small flag on his helmet, only a small sharp spearhead, which was tied with a horse's hair dyed red. According to Ma Xiangzhong, this was to motivate other soldiers behind him in the war.
There were about 50 horsemen in the troops who came quickly, and after approaching Zhang Mengcheng and a few people, they did not lay down their weapons. On the contrary, under the command of Ma Xiangzhong, Zhang Mengcheng and others were surrounded.
"Second Brother Ma, what are you doing here?" As his life-saving benefactor, Zhang Mengcheng has always respected Ma Xiangzhong, who usually doesn't like to talk much. But today's performance of the other party really made Zhang Mengcheng feel a little uncomfortable.
