Ma Feng is right, the three armies are nominally under the control of Min Shaoqing, and the veteran generals of the border army represented by He Mao only have the military power of 4,000 soldiers and horses at best. If there is more and less peace, then it is called Shuntian's order.

But Ma Feng and Min Shaoqing didn't know that at this time, Huo Yi had already led his 3,000 death squad to rush to the city of Jinyaocheng, and Huo Yi, who was eager to get justice for Liu Yu, didn't know what the truth of military law was, he only knew Lu Dao, and there was revenge and revenge! Without getting rid of Min Shaoqing, he couldn't let himself sleep peacefully.

As the saying goes, mourning soldiers will win, even if these mourning soldiers are preparing to create their own people to fight in the nest, the soldiers of the new army do not know any emperor, nor do they know who he Min Shaoqing is, they have been instilled with the idea from the first day they enter the barracks, follow the commander to have meat to eat, and the commander is the commander sent to give them a fever meat. Now that the commander is gone, the commander wants revenge, and the soldier will definitely follow with a wave of the commander's banner!

Huo Yi was not in a hurry to lead the army to attack the city, and he continued to wait for news from the city. At this time, some generals in charge of the city defense saw that the young military general Huo was menacing, and they all felt the crisis, and went to report to the commander of the Chinese army, Min Shaoqing, only to find that the camp tent of the Chinese army had been occupied by He Mao and some veteran generals. And what He Mao and the old generals are supported by is not Huo Yi or Li Mi and others, but the little-known Hua Ji'an, the former general of the Huai Army.

Min Shaoqing said to He Mao in a cold voice: "Do you know that this is a rebellion? ”

He Mao ignored it, and asked people to tie up Min Shaoqing and other generals, and there was a little sword friction between the two sides, He Mao was born in a Lian family after all, and he stepped forward to arrest Min Shaoqing, the principal, and the others would be much easier.

On the side, he was a general who was born and died with He Mao. The general who was now in a hostile position said, "General He." You have to be careful. Rebellion is to punish the nine clans! ”

For others, the Nine Clans are a big crime, but for He Mao, the Nine Clans are no different from the Nines of Clans.

There is no one in He Mao's family, and if you want to say that there are relatives with him, there is only his wife, and it is said that Su Yan is still his brother-in-law today.

Controlling everyone, He Mao was dressed in military uniform. Make a gesture of invitation to Hanagira.

Hua Ji'an walked behind the handsome case with a relaxed smile, and said: "It is not known who rebelled, now that the army is outside, the so-called generals are not subject to military orders abroad, and now that the commander is not there, we naturally want to inherit his will, completely pacify the Turks, and make the border of the Great Shun Dynasty forever troublesome, what's wrong with this!" ”

Min Shaoqing was held down, but he still did not give in: "You are committing a great rebellion!" ”

"General Min, you are with the Turkic barbarians. framed the first hero of our Dashun Dynasty to win this battle, and caused 3,000 soldiers of my Shun Dynasty to suffer for no reason. How dare you hit a rake! ”

Seeing that there was a look of shame on everyone's faces, Hua Ji'an took the opportunity to mention the dragon talisman seal letter on the handsome case, and said sharply, "The culprit Min Shaoqing, framing the court loyalty, the crime is unforgivable, the former commander of the army has the right to cut first and then play, and now Min Shaoqing will be dealt with by military law to set an example!" ”

Min Shaoqing sneered: "You dare to kill me? In his opinion, Hua Ji'an is just a general, even if he can be the boss, he is definitely a puppet, and he will never dare to use him, after all, he is the commander of the three armies just appointed by the new emperor, if Hua Ji'an beheads him, it is no different from rebellion.

"Why don't you dare!"

Hua Ji'an actually dared to come to Jinyao City, he was already ready to die, he didn't think about what kind of revenge he would encounter in the future, or how the court would hold him accountable, he only knew that Liu Wenyan trusted him, and did not find others to entrust the great cause to him, and Liu Wenyan's subordinates trusted him very much, and the soldier died as a confidant. If you don't kill Min Shaoqing, Liu Yubu will be indignant!

"Come on, correct this rebel on the spot!"

Hua Ji'an didn't dare to drag Min Shaoqing out of the tent too publicly, what happened to the Chinese army's big tent now, most of the military camps in the city are still unknown, and the plan to seize power agreed with He Mao is also being carried out in secret. Correcting Min Shaoqing on the spot is also the best opportunity for him to establish the prestige of the coach.

Although the soldiers rebelled with Hua Ji'an and He Mao, no one dared to really kill Min Shaoqing, after all, Min Shaoqing was in power, and everyone still didn't dare to do what he was going to do, seeing that Hua Ji'an continued to sneer, Hua Ji'an lifted the long sword, walked in front of Min Shaoqing in person, and broke Min Shaoqing's chest with a sword. Min Shaoqing died, and he couldn't believe that this Huaijun general actually had such courage, he thought of another person, Liu Wenyan, from this person's fierce but indifferent, as if he didn't care about anything, the eyes of the two people were the same.

No wonder Liu Wenyan chose Hua Ji'an as his successor, it should be that Liu Wenyan saw similar qualities to him from Hua Ji'an, and Min Shaoqing didn't understand this until he died.

Hua Ji'an killed Min Shaoqing with his own hands, not only the generals in the tent were surprised, but even He Mao was surprised, he didn't expect that Hua Ji'an, a young Confucian general who looked like Si Swenwen, was fierce but also had such a momentum that was not afraid of heaven and earth. But there are also some drums in my heart, what if this descending general really conspires against the remnants of King Huai one day?

Hua Ji'an seemed to understand other people's minds very well, and pointed to Min Shaoqing's corpse and said to everyone: "This is the fate of the traitor who harmed the commander of my Chinese army." Ladies and gentlemen, this commander is only temporarily ordered by the general of the forward to order the commander-in-chief of the three armies to coordinate the power of the armies to pacify the Turks. If someone is not satisfied, he will not listen to my orders and lead the army back to the customs on his own.

But if you stay, you must abide by my three military disciplines. First, the upward and downward orders are prohibited, the military orders are issued, there is no reason to take them back, and the dispatch of troops and horses is all issued by the Chinese army. Second, colleagues help each other, the three armies must not act recklessly, the first to take care of each other and not break the thief barbarian court, vow not to look back! Third, military law does not tolerate those who have withdrawn from the army. When he breaks the court of thieves and barbarian kings, I will personally ask the Son of Heaven for your sins, and you can testify! ”

Hua Ji'an's words are neither humble nor arrogant, both majestic and seem to give the generals the opportunity to choose. If you don't want to mix with Huaji'an, you can go back to the customs by yourself. But everyone knows that this is just a beautiful sentence, if anyone really wants to leave, he will definitely be convicted of withdrawing troops without authorization and disobeying orders, and the end will be the same as Min Shaoqing.

The generals had to obey and bow to their orders.

Hua Ji'an immediately took advantage of the chaos in the city to arrange personnel transfers. Some of the unqualified generals who promoted Min Shaoqing were suppressed or imprisoned, or demoted and retained. And some veterans of the border army. Especially He Mao and other veterans who participated in the seizure of power with him. All are entrusted with reuse. When everything was arranged, the Chinese military camp tent issued the news of Min Shaoqing's death, and then Hua Ji'an asked some veterans to go to their subordinates to convey military orders, and if there was turmoil, the soldiers and horses could mobilize the ammunition pressure at any time.

That night, Huo's 3,000 death squads had been eyeing the outside of the city, so that some generals in the city who had previously refused to accept the seizure of power did not dare to act rashly. Everyone knows that Lu Dao Huo is here for this seizure of power, and there is this big killing god. Whoever makes trouble will die, and this seizure of power is from the top down, as long as the middle and upper generals are controlled, it is already difficult for the lower generals to do anything. Although there was much to do during the night, there was little bloodshed in the city. By the morning of the second day, the 20,000 troops in the entire Jinyao City were all under the control of Hua Ji'an, the commander of the Chinese army.

Hua Ji'an stabilized the morale of the army and immediately mobilized the army to prepare to go deep into the Turkic hinterland again, on the other hand, because he was the self-appointed commander who seized power without authorization. He also had to ask the emperor for guilt, so he used the pattern of the petition to state the whole story. On the one hand, he expressed his indignation at the misfortune suffered by Liu Yu, and at the same time made Min Shaoqing's evil deeds public, in this case, he also knew that the new emperor would not recognize him as the commander, unless the new emperor wanted to make the border army completely out of control.

In the case that Hua Ji'an had not yet been officially appointed by the imperial court, he had already issued an order without authorization, ordering Qi Fang and Zhang Wuzhu to lead the 40,000 border troops still in the border pass to go out of the border pass to coordinate and completely pacify the Turks. When the imperial court learned of this news, Qi Fang and Zhang Wuzhu had already led their troops to the battle, and they did not take the will of the imperial court into account at all. Originally, Qi Fang and Zhang Wuzhu were asked to go to the border pass, and the imperial court wanted to take the military power in the Guanzhong region in one fell swoop, and then hold Min Shaoqing hostage and remove Min Shaoqing's military power, but now Qi Fang and Zhang Wuzhu are in cahoots with Hua Ji'an, ignoring the will of the imperial court.

The Chinese military generals of the imperial court, including the new emperor and the two ministers, all felt that without Liu Wenyan, the batch of military generals he personally cultivated was difficult to control, and Yuan Bolang even rebuked in front of the officials and the emperor in the Yaqian Hall after receiving the news: "A group of thieves with wolf ambitions and plotting against them!" ”

With Liu Wenyan here, these people don't dare to make such a mistake, Liu Wenyan has always been easy to speak, and he will not embarrass the new emperor too much, after all, Su Yan is the emperor cultivated by Liu Wenyan himself, and Liu Wenyan is also the master of the new emperor. Now that Liu Wenyan is not there, these people feel the political crisis, and they no longer take the orders of the imperial court seriously, they want to go on an expedition, and they don't need to ask the emperor's opinion, they only need to say one sentence when they look back, this is the last order of the vanguard general!

In any case, it is no longer possible for the imperial court to let Hua Ji'an withdraw his troops, and it is also impossible to seize power. The hundreds of thousands of border troops of the Great Shun Dynasty all fell under the control of Liu Yu's old subordinates, but fortunately, their purpose was not to rebel, but to target the steppe Turks.

The army was mobilized, and the supply of grain and grass was a problem, and Yuan Bolang also wanted to use grain and grass to force Huaji'an to retreat. However, Huaji'an has its own methods, there are rules before the army, and any grain and grass supply does not need to be requisitioned from Chang'an, and can be directly transported from the local area to the front line. In other words, if Hua Ji'an wants to transfer grain, he can also use his identity as the commander of the Chinese army to transfer grain from the locality.

Originally, Yuan Bolang felt that the local officials should be very honest and well-behaved, and did not dare to be enemies of the imperial court, but he forgot that now not only Liu Yu's old subordinates control the border army, but now Jiangnan, Huainan, Jiangyou and other places are also under the control of Liu Yu's old subordinates.

Military orders are greater than mountains, and as for the orders of the imperial court, they are equivalent to a dead letter to local officials.

It was only then that the Manchu ministers of civil and military affairs felt an unprecedented crisis. They obviously underestimated Liu Wenyan's power before, when Liu Wenyan was idle in the capital, they only treated him as a powerful minister, and now it seems that Liu Wenyan's privileges are great enough to be an uncrowned emperor. It's a pity that all this was reflected in Liu Wenyan's absence.

Now that the uncrowned emperor has become Hua Ji'an, he will not give the new emperor any face.

"If only the master was here." When Su Yan had to put a jade seal on the letter of appointment for Hua Ji'an, he sighed with emotion, "If the master is here, if he has anything, he must discuss it with me." I won't be embarrassed to do anything. ”

After receiving reinforcements and supplies of food and grass, the border army strengthened its wings and drove non-stop to the hinterland of the grassland.

The soldiers of the border army are like tigers, giving no life to the grassland people, but when the wedding tide army passes by, there is no livestock left. Hua Ji'an also knew the difficulty of supplying the grasslands, and he made up his mind to feed the war with war, and use the beef and mutton of the Turks as the military food of the Shun Dynasty army, only in this way could he really have a chance to break the Turkic royal court.

At this time, the Great Shun Dynasty conquered the army, the commander Hua Ji'an, the deputy marshal Min Shaoqing and Qi Fang, the Chinese military camp tents are not all Liu Yu's descendants, Hua Ji'an is very philosophical in employing people, he is good at mobilizing the enthusiasm of some marginal people, so that they can feel the trust of the boss. In particular, Hua Ji'an's reuse of He Mao made the border soldiers feel that Hua Ji'an was different, he was neither as strong as Min Shaoqing, nor as indifferent as Liu Wenyan, he was more like the patriarch of the three armies, and he handled things in an orderly manner. Any middle- and upper-level general, who has something to look for, can see it, and will listen to the opinions and suggestions of these generals.

After Liu Wenyan and Min Shaoqing left the throne one after another, the army of the Great Shun Dynasty was unprecedentedly united, and everyone seemed to have one purpose, that is, to break the Turkic court and make the term Turkic completely history. At the same time, it is also the spirit in heaven that comforts Liu Wenyan.

But they apparently ignored the Turkic strategy for the steppe.

The size of the grassland is completely beyond the imagination of these people, it is simply more than the homeland of China.

After entering the hinterland of the steppe, some of the trapped Turkic tribes made Huajian think that the Turks were nothing more than that, but the further north they went, the stronger the resistance they encountered, and the stronger the army assembled by the Turks. On the steppe, the physical fitness of the Han people was not dominant, and although the Shun army had enough food and grass, it was impossible to get ammunition to replenish after all, so the army had to stop advancing.

Only then did Hua Ji'an understand Liu Wenyan's painstaking efforts to investigate the Turkic royal court, if he searched in the vast grassland like this, he would not be able to find out the nest of the Turks. Otherwise, the Turkic court will not be removed, and the Turks will swear to defend their homeland to the death, and the army of the Shun Dynasty will always be tired one day when they are on an expedition.

In the blink of an eye, in late July, after a military meeting, the news from all sides still could not summarize the location of the Turkic royal court, Hua Ji'an walked out of the Chinese army's tent alone, took advantage of the night, and said to the starry sky: "Where is the general now?" If the general has a spirit in the sky, I don't know if you can guide me to the maze and let me wait for the general to fulfill his unfulfilled wish? (To be continued......)
