This artillery battalion has good discipline, and it doesn't have much contact with the local area on weekdays, but I didn't expect that it would be a neighbor with the Demon Sect for so long. These soldiers complained bitterly in their hearts, there was a demon sect under their noses, or the main altar, and this time it was even more unclear. And absolutely, there are many religious believers, and if the court orders the arrest of believers, these people will not be better.

However, Zheng Guobao did not order the arrest, but was ready to reward silver, wine and meat, which is not a murderous posture. With this soft skill, all the blood and courage of the soldiers were eliminated, so that they could not muster the heart to kill officials and rebel. Those who are generals also think that Uncle Guo's subordinates may not be killers, maybe they really only take the champion Hou and don't move us. Besides, there is no ammunition for the guns and artillery at the moment, and if you want to mutiny, the guys are not ready, so it is safer to go back to the camp first.

In the second half of the march, the whole artillery battalion was depressed, and the morale was also consumed little by little with the march. And I don't know who it was, but he suddenly pulled his neck in the team and shouted: "It's all to blame on the damn champion Hou, who is so dignified and colluded with some demon sect, and if you don't say anything about your own death, you will bite the masters when you come to the end." Isn't this a thief's bite and three points into the bone? I think it's clear that he knows that he can't survive, and he wants to find someone to back him and use his grandfathers to bury him. This thing is that he is not a thing. ”

The voice came so abruptly that several officers couldn't tell who shouted it. But these words were like a fire rope, igniting the anger in the hearts of the soldiers, and someone immediately responded: "This is not bad. It's all champion Hou bastards, he will die by himself, why did he pull us into the water, who did we recruit to provoke whom? Collusion with Banzhou, we know where Banzhou is? ”

"Yes, the court has enough food and pay. You can still eat a few meals of meat a month, such a good day, why should we rebel. ”

These people were originally depressed, and when they scolded the champion Hou Lai, they couldn't hold back. Occasionally, someone wanted to say a few good words for the champion, but seeing that the public was angry, they had to keep their mouths shut. The first person to speak, relying on three or two sentences, transferred the hatred of being a soldier to the head of the champion Hou, so that all the soldiers were pawned. The resentment of the imperial court was greatly reduced. Cao Yingjia saw it in his eyes. I was secretly shocked: This person who shouted didn't sound like an authentic Liaodong person with an accent, could it be someone from the Qincha faction who pretended to shout with a Liaodong accent?

Wait until you enter the camp. Zheng Guobao called the chief officials to the tent. I sat right behind the handsome case. smiled and said: "Several, did we call the champion Hou's personal soldiers up to confront him?" ”

Cao Yingjia saw it clearly, along the way. The person who came out of nowhere used a few words to provoke everyone to scold the champion Hou, on the one hand, it was to divert the object of anger from being a soldier, and on the other hand, it also made people change their feelings in the cursing, and their hearts to rebel and mutiny became weaker and weaker, and their morale gradually weakened. When they entered the camp and saw the gold and silver piled up by their uncle in the open space, as well as the whole car of wine and meat on the side, the eyes of these soldiers were straight, and they thought about reward, and not many people would choose to stand up and use the knife.

He also found that several important warehouses such as ordnance and ammunition had been taken over by Zhejiang soldiers. When he set out, all the guards and soldiers left behind did not know where to go. It seems that whether it is to capture the champion Hou or watch the artillery training, it is a strategy arranged by the Qin Cha, and he has been cheated. Now he is a clawless crab, and his subordinates who can command and move, I am afraid that there are not even a few hundred people, and if they rise up to mutiny, it will be no different from sending them to death.

What Banzhou, Demon Sect, Cao Yingjia really didn't know anything, and there was no ghost in his heart, so he didn't want to take risks. took off his helmet, knelt down in front of his uncle, and said, "Qincha, please call the personal soldiers of Nahou Xiezhen, and I will confront him face to face." If the last general can't clear his wrongs, he is willing to die to prove his innocence. ”

"The last general will wait, willing to die together." The other leading officers of the artillery battalion also took off their helmets and knelt behind Cao Yingjia.

"What a Cao Zhongjun, he really led the troops well. The generals from all walks of life are willing to die with the chief officer, such a touching scene has rarely been seen in recent years. General Cao led the troops well, it is really a dry city of our country, you can rest assured, as long as you can clear your wrongs, I will definitely protect your official position. ”

Cao Yingjia has reached the point where all the grass and trees are soldiers at this time, Zheng Guobao's praise, to his ears, means that he forms a party for personal gain on weekdays, plotting against him, and his subordinates only know that there is a chief official, but they don't know that there is a court. Angry and anxious, he turned around and scolded: "As soon as Lao Tzu is innocent after his death, you guys will make a lot of fun, hurry up and get out of me." I haven't lived long enough, so don't pit me here. ”

At this moment, the thirteen heralds' own soldiers were all escorted into the big tent. These pro-soldiers came to give orders one by one, fighting alone, who is Meng'er's opponent? Therefore, she was all knocked over one by one, and as soon as she pushed in, the soldier who took the lead shouted: "Cao Yingjia, I can be regarded as looking for you." Our Xiezhen was taken by this dog official, and we can't afford to suffer this loss. Hurry up and take your people to the government and bring Xiezhen back. ”

Zheng Guobao didn't say a word, just looked at Cao Yingjia. Cao Yingjia pointed at the pro-soldier and said, "What do you say?" Your General Cao, when did you collude with the champion Hou to rebel? It's true that he is my chief, but that is an assignment from the imperial court. Now that he has become a thief, he is no longer my commander, so why should I save him? ”

The pro-soldier was accustomed to being majestic on weekdays, and he felt that the combat effectiveness of the artillery battalion was definitely above that of the southern soldiers, as long as he broke up the dog officer's guards, he would be able to get out of danger. scolded again: "Cao Yingjia, what are you talking about? When did we rebel? If there is no evidence, they are framed and bullied. Our Northern Army, when did you get this angry? You are a subordinate of Xiezhen, so you have to listen to Xiezhen's orders, quickly assemble the team, and capture Uncle Guo to exchange for Xiezhen, don't use this ink again. Time has been delayed so much, if Xiezhen suffers, it will be better for you to look back. ”

Cao Yingjia looked at Uncle Guo's eyes and seemed to be more and more suspicious. Yes, if he has no personal dealings with Champion Hou, why are his subordinates going to save people by themselves so reasonable? This is a hijacking of the uncle, going to the government to rob people, saying that it seems to be commonplace, saying that he is not a cronie, who is willing to believe it?

He couldn't explain to his uncle that the northern soldiers were arrogant, and in their own territory, they had always been known for not being afraid of anything, this was just a habit, not really anti-will. Looking at the arrogant appearance of the pro-soldier again, his heart was on fire, and he said angrily: "I am a third-grade official of the imperial court, what are you, shouting in front of me, is there a chief, is there any military law?" ”

The soldier was frightened by him, and seemed to be a little timid, but then he rose sideways again. "Okay, you Cao Yingjia, you dare to shake your official authority in front of me? Don't you look at it, how did you become an official? Without the promotion of the crown commander, you can have today? I sue you, the crown association is down, and you won't be better. What the seller seeks glory will not end well. ”

Cao Yingjia violently pulled out his waist knife, stabbed it into the lower abdomen of the pro-soldier, shook the knife fiercely, and raised his leg to kick the dead body to the ground. "I'm a dignified three-grade master, you dare to make a small offense, it's really bold. Do you really think that General Ben will not dare to kill you? He glanced at the generals behind him again, "Rank, the crown thief is rebellious, and he is trying to pull us into the water." If it weren't for the fact that we had met a good official like Qin Cha, we wouldn't have been able to argue with it. If you still want to live well, kill all these soldiers with one knife and prove your innocence in front of your uncle. If he refuses to use the knife, Cao has no choice but to deny this brother, and from then on, we will cut off the robe and break the righteousness, and there will be no more involvement. ”

When these generals heard this, they looked at each other, drew their swords, and pounced on the soldiers. For a while, the sword flashed, the flesh and blood flew, and more than a dozen personal soldiers were cut down, and the death was extremely miserable. After receiving the steel knife, Cao Yingjia led the generals to kneel in front of Zheng Guobao for the second time, "Qincha, my generation is really an innocent person who was slandered by the crown thief, and I also ask Qincha to investigate and give us justice." ”

Zheng Guobao knew that the backer of the champion Hou was Li Chengliang, and the backstage was very hard, if there was no strong evidence, it would not be easy for him to do it. Seeing that these people killed their own soldiers, they were regarded as surrendering, and said with a smile on their faces: "Several, what are you doing?" Get up and speak, get up and speak. To tell the truth, this official has never suspected that you are colluding with the thieves, otherwise how could you be so polite? In fact, if you think about it, you also know that if you collude with the thieves, how can you lead the troops so well, and how can you train the troops so well? Don't worry, I have always believed in you, this trust is not easy to build, how can I be willing to destroy it. I will definitely give everyone justice, otherwise I will be sorry for my conscience. It's just that I still have to ask you for an attitude in this matter, do you understand the attitude? With this attitude, we can discuss everything. (To be continued......)
