Chapter Eighty-Six: Mutiny
In the early morning, the mist is filled, the grassland is hazy, when a ray of sunlight pierces the morning fog and sweeps to the green pastures, the horn is already sounding in the Dingzhou Lu Dalin military camp, all the soldiers are already dressed neatly, began to pack up the camp tents, ready to set off from the camp, these ordinary soldiers do not know that they will experience the most thrilling change in Dingzhou for several years today, it seems extremely calm, although busy, but go in an orderly manner, under the requirements of the fruit chiefs, quickly and effectively prepare before departure.
All the officers at the rank of lieutenant and above in Zhenwu were all summoned to the Chinese army under the command of Lu Dalin, and when they heard that there was a major military operation, the soldiers were excited and looking forward to it, the small tribes nearby had been swept away, could it be that General Lu was going to lead us to the hinterland of the grassland?
A series of victories made all the soldiers blindly confident, and the steppe iron cavalry that had changed color in the past was nothing more than that, and it was not the same wolf and mouse under our hands, and it was vulnerable?
Lu Dalin's military camp tent, Shen Mingchen with a smile on his face, standing on Lu Dalin's side, watching a group of officers come one by one, Lu Dalin's explanation to him is that such a big military operation, and it is to start with friendly troops, it is necessary to obtain the support of all officials at the rank of Zhenwu captain and above, in order to effectively integrate the whole army, gather all the senior troops before the action, once they find that there are different opinions, they will be detained immediately, and the accident can be minimized, this dispute makes Shen Mingchen very satisfied, even praised Lu Dalin in his heart for being a veteran on the battlefield, and he thought about all the details very thoughtfully.
Shen Mingchen is not worried, as long as Lu Dalin's approval is obtained, then these officers will definitely not put forward different opinions, even if some people have different opinions, but under Lu Dalin's suppression, they will disappear like small bubbles in the waves. At present, among the 15,000 cavalry, three of the five battalions are generals of Xiao Yuanshan's cronies.
Lu Dalin was also sneering in his heart, looking at Shen Mingchen's calm face, his heart was really dead and he didn't know how to die, although three of the five battalions were Xiao Yuanshan's people, but Xiao Yuanshan forgot that the reorganized Dingzhou Army was formed on the basis of the previous Right Association, 80% of the Zhenwu captains, 90% of the fruit chiefs, and 100% of the sentry commanders were all from his right wing. Did Xiao Yuanshan think that he could control this battalion by replacing three battalion generals? That is inevitably too underestimating him Lu Dalin, he has reached today's position from a small soldier, not only because of his bravery in combat and his repeated achievements.
Lu Dalin slowly glanced at the generals at all levels who stood awe-inspiringly below, most of these people were familiar faces to him, and he could name each of them.
"From Huping, Li Xiangru, Zheng Zhanrong!" Lu Dalin shouted.
"The last general!" The three generals came out in response, their expressions were excited and uneasy, Lu Dalin sneered in his heart, it was obvious that Shen Mingchen had already ventilated them in advance, so they would have such expressions.
Lu Dalin leaned down slightly, staring at them, under his compelling eyes, the three of them were slightly uneasy, after all, Lu Dalin was a well-known general in the border pass, and they were only a Zhenwu captain not long ago, and they were promoted by Xiao Dashuai in the integration of the army.
"The three of you are very brave in this battle, and I am very happy with the captain!" Lu Dalin said slowly.
"Thank you, General!" The three of them were a little excited, after all, it was a very good honor to be praised by such a veteran, but Lu Dalin's words caught the three of them off guard, and even frightened.
"But, today, I'm going to be sorry for you, come on, take down the three of them!" With Lu Dalin's shout, several of Lu Dalin's personal guards immediately rushed in outside the tent, and quickly twisted the arms of the three of them and pressed them to the ground.
"General, general, what did we do wrong? Please make it clear to the general! From Huping being pressed to kneel on the ground, shouting hoarsely, from the praise just now to being pressed to the ground, the contrast between the three of them really did not slow down, from Huping was relatively quick to react, knowing that something was wrong, shouting in his mouth, but a pair of eyes looked at Shen Mingchen. Shen Mingchen's face suddenly turned snow-white.
"You're not wrong, it's our Xiao Dashuai who is wrong!" Lu Dalin popped out a few words from his mouth word by word.
The remaining two generals, Lu Dabing and Zhang Mingli, stood still, they were all Lu Dalin's hardcore henchmen, and they had already known the truth of the matter, but the rest of the Zhenwu captains only scratched slightly when they saw the three generals take down, but after hearing Lu Dalin's words, the tent suddenly exploded with a buzz.
Shen Mingchen suddenly jumped up, took out a piece of paper from his arms, and shouted hoarsely, "Everyone, I have a secret order from Xiao Dashuai to deprive Lu Dalin of all his positions in the army, and all military affairs will be temporarily replaced by me, everyone, this is an order signed by Xiao Dashuai!" ”
After Lu Dalin's eyes swept by, the Zhenwu captains who were talking about it immediately quieted down, stood up straight, and did not even look at the three generals who had always been pressed to the ground and Shen Mingchen, who was jumping and shouting in the tent, they all looked at Lu Dalin in the center.
Lu Dalin looked at the hysterical Shen Mingchen in silence, and shook his head slightly, "Mr. Shen, it's useless, no matter how loud you scream, it's useless, although Xiao Shuai broke up my Right Association, but he forgot, the current Dingzhou Army, based on all the grassroots officers are from my Right Association, this is the soldier that Lu Dalin has led for many years, these people have had a lifelong friendship with me from birth to death, I let them go east, they will never go west, right, everyone!" ”
The fifteen Zhenwu lieutenants and two staff generals in the tent knelt on the ground at the same time, shouting: "But the general's order is obeyed!" ”
Shen Mingchen stood dumbfounded, the secret order signed by Xiao Yuanshan in his hand fell to the ground, and he looked so lonely and fragile among the generals and lieutenants who knelt on the ground.
"Why? What benefits did Li Qingxu give you to betray Xiao Dashuai? ”
"I'll answer that question!" A clear voice came from behind the tent, and Shang Haibo floated out.
"It's you!" Shen Mingchen's eyes contracted, and he recognized this elegant middle-aged scholar.
Shang Haibo smiled and said loudly: "Lord Shen, you have no reason to blame General Lu, after the war, not only did the first hero not be awarded, but he had to design to get rid of it. ”
The corners of Shen Mingchen's mouth showed a sneer, this reason was simply a fart, knowing that Shang Haibo must have something to say, and he didn't bother to interrupt him, at this time he was already defeated, and it was just a humiliation to say more, and the other party would inevitably let him know the answer.
"This is one of them!" Shang Haibo walked in front of Shen Mingchen Ming, "Second, at this time, in Fuwu, it is not more than a thousand remnants of the defeated generals, but 8,000 elites, Mr. Shen, Xiao Shuai wants to get rid of my general, without General Lu's 15,000 iron cavalry, with the thousands of people in his military camp, there is only one result, that is, meat buns and dogs, there is no return!" ”
Shen Mingchen took a long breath, and said in his heart that this was probably the real reason for Lu Dalin's rebellion, and asked rhetorically at the moment: "Where did Li Qing come from these eight thousand elites, could it be that he would scatter beans and become soldiers?" You can deceive Lu Dalin, but you can't deceive me! ”
Shang Haibo laughed loudly, "Bullying you? No, before we designed this campaign, we expected today, do you think I'm here because I'm afraid of these fifteen thousand people? After finishing the 60,000 troops, they still hit their heads and bled before Fuyuan, and they ended up dying, otherwise you think that my general is a fool and an idiot, such a wedding dress for others, will you do it? I came here, but my general regretted that the Dingzhou athletes should not be wiped out in the internal friction, so he asked General Lu to hold high the banner of righteousness, and fortunately, General Lu understood the righteousness and refused to do this painful move for relatives and enemies, so that I did my best to save the Dingzhou athletes to deal with the barbarian invasion in the coming year. Otherwise, under the city of Fuyuan, there will inevitably be a river of blood, Lord Shen, Xiao Yuanshan did this great rebellious act, it can be said that people and gods are angry, there is a way in the sky, how can you stay? ”
Shen Mingchen closed his eyes: "In a year, Li Qing actually gathered more than 10,000 elite soldiers in such a poor place as Chongxian, amazing, admired." I'm throwing in the towel, okay, kill or chop, listen to me! Hearing Shen Mingchen say this, the faces of the three generals from Huping who were kneeling on the ground below all changed miserably, and they couldn't say anything, they were Xiao Yuanshan's henchmen, even if they turned against the water at this time, no one would trust them, so they could only bow their heads and accept their fate.
Shang Haibo shook his head: "You are wrong again, General Li said that although Xiao Yuanshan did such a shameless thing, but he has fought against the barbarians over the years, there is no merit, and there is hard work, he will let him live, Xiao Yuanshan has let him go, you people, what is the benefit of killing?" You can stay in General Lu's camp with peace of mind, and when this matter is over, whether you go or stay, listen to your respect! ”
Shen Mingchen looked at Shang Haibo with a complicated expression, "Okay, sure enough, Li Qing, I will watch you go that far." ”
Shang Haibo laughed: "Mr. Shen is talented, my general knows very well, if Mr. Shen wants to serve under my general's account, I think the general will definitely meet him!" ”
Shen Mingchen smiled heavily, turned his head and ignored it.
Shang Haibo turned around and shook his fist at Lu Dalin, "This is the matter, my heart is far away, but I am going to return, this is goodbye to the general, and when Xiao Yuanshan is resolved, my general will have a good time with General Lu." ”
Lu Dalin hugged his fists and saluted back, "Mr. Shang, the younger brother, there is nothing else, but the force is considerable, but go back with Mr. and help General Li!" ”
Shang Haibo was slightly stunned, and then reacted, this Lu Dabing was the hostage that Lu Dalin sent to Li Qing, and said with a smile: "Okay, General Lu is kind, my general has received it, and he will be rewarded for coming!" ”
"There is no need for a generous report, my life's wish is to step on the grassland."
"I will live up to the general's wishes!"
The two smiled at each other and said goodbye.
