But he had to put on a calm appearance in front of the generals of the Northern Army.

Huang Guobi, Li Boyuan and others all took the initiative to ask Zhao Fan to kill the thief, but they were all rejected by Zhao Fan.

It was obvious that in Zhao's mind, the Northern Army had all become potential rebels. He was afraid that the Northern Army, which went to kill the thieves, would become thieves and become thieves, not to mention endangering Xiangyang City, and it was difficult to say whether he could get rid of it.

The generals of the Northern Army were all frightened, and they were afraid that they would fall to the ground in anger.

Under the tense situation of guarding against each other, only Li Hu and Wang Fu of the Southern Army talked and laughed.

"I just know that this group of splashes is unreliable!" Li Hu said loudly: "This group of guys who are in the twilight of Qin and Chu have long had ghosts in their hearts, and this time the Tartars are going south, it is a good opportunity for them to make trouble!" Please give the order at once, and let my invincible army go out in a big way, and leave no piece of armor left behind to kill these thieves! ”

Zhao Fan stared at him and didn't answer. Now that the situation has been slightly decided, we only need to wait for Zheng Yunming, the hero of the quelling of the rebellion, to go to the city to report, and then the sin of Wang Min is just to cure Wang Min, Li Hu said this, it is nothing more than that he does not want the great merit of quelling the chaos to be swallowed by Zheng Yunming alone.

But he was in no mood to watch the generals of the Southern Army compete for power now.

Just as he was about to get angry, two groups of people from the city walked up the road to the city.

The first was the sleepy-eyed Jing'e Dutong Wang Min, who was draped in a green shirt and yawned profusely, apparently drunk at the banquet of the envoy and had not fully woken up.

The white-robed young general who followed behind was fully armed, holding the sword at his waist with a majestic appearance, it was Zheng Yunming.

When Li Hu saw Wang Min going to the city, before the envoy could speak, he sneered and said categorically: "Kill this guy for me!" ”

Under the shock of everyone, several of Li Hu's personal soldiers held knives in front of Zhao Fan and slashed down at Wang Min.

Wang Min, who was stunned and stayed in place, watched as Pu Dao slashed towards his front door, and suddenly a figure in front of him rushed out and stopped in front of him, and the long sword was crossed, blocking the two Pu Dao that were split.

Although he practiced swordsmanship with his heart on weekdays, this stubborn stop still made Zheng Yunming feel numb in his arm, he withdrew his sword and stepped to separate Wang Min from Li Hu's personal soldiers, and shouted at Li Hu: "Wang Dutong is an official of the imperial court, how can he do harm casually!" ”

Wang Min came to his senses at this time, jumped to his feet and scolded: "The thief Li Hu who killed the heavens! If you want Lao Tzu's life, you can come with a knife and a gun! There's no need to do that! ”

Li Hu ignored Wang Min's scolding, and said to Zheng Yunming: "Chief, when I was the deputy commander of the Yangtze River, I was also acquainted with the old minister. You and I are brothers of the Southern Army, let's not start infighting, Wang Min connived at the northerners to run rampant, how much suffering our Southern Army has suffered, and today it has caused a mutiny, this person is not a pity to die! The manager quickly got out of the way, and let me end this guy's life! ”

Zheng Yunming crossed his sword in front of his chest, raised his head and said: "Zheng only knows that everyone is a soldier who serves the emperor, and there is no difference between the southern army and the northern army. Regardless of whether the Southern Army or the Northern Army, meritorious service will be rewarded, and violations of the law will be punished! The thieves who made trouble today have all been caught, and they will soon be punished by the law of the country, Li Dutong, do you want to be the next one! ”

What he said was very rude, and the pro-soldier general behind Li Hu scolded loudly, and a young general in a red shirt jumped out, pulled out the formation breaking knife at his waist and was about to step forward.

Lu Xunzhi rushed forward, and the short spear in his hand swung forward, forcing the red-shirted young general back. The soldiers of Beiwei followed with a long halberd in their hands, hugging Zheng Yunming to protect him tightly.

Lu Xunzhi, who is elegant and humble on weekdays, looked at Li Hu with a powerful look at this time, and said coldly to Li Hu: "The soldiers and horses of the capital are all at the east gate, and the city gate is our brothers. ”

There is tension between the city and the city, and the slightest stimulation can quickly turn into a bloody battlefield.

Zhao Fan slapped the case fiercely, and shouted angrily: "Dare to fight privately in front of Ben Shuai, I haven't died yet!" I, Zhao Fan, am still the pacification envoy of this Jinghu! ”

His roar just gave both sides the opportunity to step down, and everyone came to the envoy to apologize.

Zhao Fan took out a general order with a straight face, and shouted: "Where is Li Hu!" ”

Li Hu respectfully stepped forward to receive the order.

"There is chaos in the city, the news must have reached Jiangbei, the enemy army in Jiangbei is unpredictable, this commander wants you to take a group of men and horses to quickly cross the river to monitor, and it must not be violated to set off quickly!"

Li Hu calculated the situation in the city, Zheng Yunming brought tens of thousands of horses and horses to sit in the city, Wang Min must have come to the end of his military career after this military turmoil, and he was alone, but he didn't expect Wang Min's wolf to be killed, but in exchange for Zheng Yunming's tiger, he came to occupy the nest.

This place cannot be stayed for long, he thought so, and hurriedly went down to the city with a farewell envoy.

Several sergeants escorted Wang Min forward to kneel, and Zhao Fan shouted angrily: "You bring good soldiers!" ”

Wang Min had fully sobered up at this time, knowing that the big mistake had been made, and he only begged with tears in his eyes to make him spare his life in the past.

"Whether you die or not," Zhao Fan said coldly: "It's no longer up to me to call the shots, the Governor's Mansion is coming to Xiangyang, and the Governor will give you the corresponding punishment." ”

He ordered Wang Min to be taken down and thought about behind closed doors, a euphemism for house arrest since ancient times.

Zhao Fan shouted again: "Zheng Yunming! ”

Zheng Yunming hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down.

"Disobeying the order to mobilize the army, this is the sin of killing the head, do you know it!"

Zheng Yunming lay motionless on the ground, and Lu Xunzhi knelt down behind him and said: "The chief manager was ordered by the Governor's Office to come to Xiangyang to quell the chaos, and there is an official document written by the Governor here. ”

He gave him a look, and Zheng Xian, who was kneeling down behind him, hurriedly took out the letter from the Governor's Mansion from his baggage and handed it to the soldiers of the envoy.

Zhao Fan began to read it carefully, and sure enough, it was the handwritten letter of Wei Liaoweng of the Governor's Mansion, which strictly urged Zhao Fan to suppress all possible riots, and sent Zheng Yunming's troops from Yingzhou to help Yunyun.

Zheng Yunming crouched on the ground and reported in a proper manner: "Today's thieves have been arrested, and I will return to Yingzhou with the team at the end of tomorrow." ”

At this time, he still said such beautiful words, Zhao Fan sighed in his heart, this prime minister's son is too hypocritical after all.

Wang Min was convicted, Li Hu went out, Huang, Li and other northern generals were uneasy, and the only army that could be relied on in Xiangyang City was Zheng Yunming's Tulong Army. At this time, it is nonsense to say that you don't love power.

"No need, Xiangyang has just changed, and the army is empty." Zhao Fan stared at Zheng Yunming and said, "The Tulong Army is stationed in the city to take over the enemy's defense area, and the Yingzhou Governor's Mansion will send someone to deal with it later." ”

Zheng Yunming listened to the meaning of his words, Zhao Zhizhi had already known that his ministers had done it, and he himself did not have any special ill feelings towards the envoys, but Zhao Fan gave him a lot of power to act cheaply in office. If someone else is replaced to be the commander of Jinghu, I don't know what the future of him and the Tulong Army will be.

"What should be done with the rebellious party of the enemy army that has been taken into custody?" Zheng Yunming asked cautiously.

"Everything is handled in accordance with military law." Zhao Fan waved his hand: "You send someone to bring the military judge of the Ministry of Dispatch to the West Gate, try it on the spot, and in the extraordinary period, you will rather be in vain than indulge, and all the unsafe elements in the chaotic army will be eliminated!" ”

Of course, Zheng Yunming understands the weight of the four words, even if he Zheng Yunming instead of Li Hu to deal with it, there will be countless unjust cases, and it is never uncommon in the army to turn into tricks and take advantage of the opportunity to plant false accusations, let alone at this critical moment.

If he still had half a bit of mercy at this time, this city that had been recovered by Yue Wumu and had been in the hands of the Song Dynasty for one hundred and fifty years might be buried in his hands at any time Zheng Yunming.

The lady of the Lai family saw Zheng Yunming walking down the road with a heavy heart, raised the regimental card in his hand to block in front of him, and her beautiful eyes were full of vigilance.

"You don't have to be so careful." Zheng Yunming said and walked straight to the west gate: "Most of the chaotic troops in the city have been cleaned up, and the rest are busy hiding in the people's homes, where do they dare to show their heads and attack the officials and soldiers?" ”

The lady of the Lai family held the group card and carefully looked around, while taking time to argue: "It's just the guy from the north who is making trouble, in case the Mongolian spies in the city take the opportunity to do something, hehe"

The two talked all the way, from the south gate to the west gate, Yang Luo and Wang Deng, who were waiting here, couldn't help laughing, and stepped forward to report: "The west gate contains tens of thousands of people, and there are 9,000 captured rebels, please tell the governor how to deal with it." ”

Zheng Yunming lowered his head and Lu Xunzhi for a while, raised his head and said: "Let the people go into the city to settle down and do their own business, and order the brothers who stay in the city to build more thatched huts as shelters for a while." ”

"The rebel army should be screened one by one, those who committed minor crimes should be organized into a battalion, those who set fire to and killed people should be handed over to the division, and the leaders should be severely tortured, and the whereabouts of the instigators must be traced."

Yang Luo approached and whispered, "Actually, just now a leader has confessed that he knows the Mongolian spy vulture in the city, and is willing to lead our army to lock it. ”

Zheng Yunming was overjoyed, and said repeatedly: "Bring him over!" ”

Yang Luo nodded yes, and hurriedly ordered his soldiers to escort the confessed leader of the rebel army to Zheng Yunming and kneel.

Zheng Yunming held the hilt of his sword and asked in a deep voice, "Which army are you under the tent and what is your name?" ”

The leader knelt on the ground, his body trembled like chaff, and said in a trembling voice: "The villain is the head of Liang Hong's subordinates, the second general of the rear army of the enemy, named Li Biqing. ”

Zheng Yunming looked at him with his head lowered in fear, and calculated in his heart the credibility of this person's words: "How did you rebel, then did Liang Hong participate?" ”

Li Biqing lay on the ground and told the story of the before and after.

Zheng Yunming listened intently to what he said, unaware that danger was approaching.
