Chapter 138: Cover-up
Chapter 295: The Consequences of a Sneak Attack
Therefore, under the dispute between the two, no result was reached, and with Cao Mo's personality, he simply ignored the existence of Nangong Jingchen.
That night, Cao Mo led the 5,000 troops given to him by Admiralty to raid the South Vietnamese Kingdom and invade the army's camp.
The army of the Southern Expedition has not yet stabilized, and the night raid did not even occur to Nangong Jingchen, let alone the people of the South Yue Kingdom.
Because the people of the South Vietnamese Kingdom did not do a good job of defense, they were killed and wounded, and Cao Mo gained a lot in this battle.
In the middle of the night, when the army led by Cao Mo came back, he even captured the famous Qianhu chief in the barracks.
This thousand-household chief was also a well-known task in the military camp, and the leading general of the vanguard army who invaded the border of Daqing at that time was named Jin Yufeng. When he was pressed into the council chamber of the border Tengchong guarding the mansion, his face was full of anger and unwillingness.
And when Nangong Jingchen heard this, it was already too late, he hurried to the conference hall and saw Jin Yufeng who had been arrested.
When Jin Yufeng saw Nangong Jingchen sitting in the middle hall, he thought that this plan was ordered by Nangong Jingchen, so he scolded and asked for Nangong Jingchen's life.
It's just that Nangong Jingchen didn't understand the words of Nanyue Kingdom, and he asked others to translate it to know that this Jin Yufeng had just been scolding, and he didn't say any useful information at all.
And in the midst of this scolding, Jin Yufeng also said that the South Vietnamese Kingdom was about to retaliate.
Hearing this, Nangong Jingchen hadn't had a seizure yet, but Cao Mo was unceremonious, and slapped Jin Yufeng directly in the face.
Now the winner is king, and in the face of the defeat of his subordinates in front of him, he didn't take the other party in his eyes at all.
What's more, the other party is the barbarian he hates the most?
"Barbarians, you still want to take revenge on us? As far as you three melons and two dates are concerned, what can you do to us? Rubbish! Lock me up! ”
Before Nangong Jingchen could give an order, Cao Mo asked people to drag Jin Yufeng down.
Nangong Jingchen finally felt an unprecedented sadness and pain, and at this time he understood that it was a feeling that power was out of control.
My father was so defensive of himself, and I guess he hated this kind of situation.
He seemed to understand the gap between himself and the emperor at this time.
I don't have the emperor's decisiveness at all, so I was forced into such a situation.
Obviously, the war has not yet begun, and he, the prince, the commander-in-chief general of the army, can't even control a subordinate, and it's ridiculous and generous to say it.
And after Cao Mo took Jin Yufeng down, he then looked at Nangong Jingchen, and his face was full of pride.
This complacency has been overflowing, probably because he has won this battle, what else does Nangong Jingchen have to say? Everything now seems to prove that what he said is right.
However, Nangong Jingchen did not allow him to continue to be presumptuous this time.
I saw Nangong Jingchen angrily reprimanding Cao Mo: "Now the battle plan is completely unconsulted with me, are you a decoration when I am the commander of the general?" ”
Cao Mo was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Nangong Jingchen to really get angry with him.
Obviously, his appearance is to save Nangong Jingchen now, and the other party has no real talent, how can this be?
Immediately, Cao Mo glanced at Nangong Jingchen with a sneer, and asked rhetorically: "Prince, what did I do wrong, didn't I win now?" Do you still have any grievances? Aren't we fighting to win? ”
"If you win a small game and lose the big game, what if you are a surprise? How do you know I don't have any plans for the future? ”
"What's the plan for the future? You haven't told me either, how can you blame me for sabotaging your plans? ”
"Now you're in charge, aren't you? My plan doesn't tell you, it just doesn't take you into account, and you should be reprimanded, right? ”
If you follow the other party's words, then you will be a big rebel. Cao Mo is not stupid, so he naturally kept silent.
Seeing that Cao Mo still cared about the vain things of identity and status at this time, and did not dare to challenge his status openly, Nangong Jingchen did not give the other party a chance, and said bluntly: "Challenge the authority of the boss, do not obey the command, according to the military regulations, you should be beheaded!" ”
Cao Mo's eyes widened, he couldn't believe his ears.
He obviously won the battle, but now Nangong Jingchen actually wants to kill himself?
But now that he has recognized Nangong Jingchen, he can't even say a word of "you dare" at this moment.
However, Nangong Jingchen changed his style and said: "But based on the fact that you won this battle, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped." ”
Cao Mo stared at Nangong Jingchen and asked in a strong tone, "His Royal Highness the Prince, what do you mean?" ”
Nangong Jingchen didn't pay attention to such a question at all, but looked at others and said, "Come on, take Cao Mo for me, put him in a prison cell and think about himself!" ”
Almost all of the guards around Nangong Jingchen were brought by Nangong Jingchen from the capital, so he naturally obeyed his orders.
As for those generals or sergeants who were in the border city, even if they wanted to help Cao Mo, they also knew which was higher and which was lower, so they naturally didn't dare to compete with Nangong Jingchen openly.
So even if Cao Mo didn't want to, he had to be escorted down.
Along the way, Cao Mo scolded and scolded, even so, he didn't dare to say that Nangong Jingchen was not good.
This is the majesty of imperial power, and Nangong Jingchen also used his privileges for the first time on such an occasion.
Nangong Jingchen knew in his heart that if he didn't suppress Cao Mo again, I was afraid that the consequences would be unimaginable.
And the result of Cao Mo's sneak attack was just as Nangong Jingchen expected, causing disaster.
Although the first battle, or strictly speaking, to deal with the sneak attack, the South Vietnamese failed, but after that, the battle of the South Vietnamese obviously intensified, and they strengthened their patrol and siege capabilities, and even the South Vietnamese did not plan to send troops to fight in a short time.
Seeing that the second war epidemic was unavoidable, Nangong Jingchen had to go out in person.
And only a day later, before Nangong Jingchen and the other soldiers in the city could recover their strength, they heard a report from the front line that the South Vietnamese State was attacking.
The incident happened suddenly, but Nangong Jingchen was not completely surprised, so he was already prepared. He immediately changed into his uniform and rode to the front.
And the former war situation, because of the revenge factor in the hearts of the people of South Vietnam, has become extremely complicated.
On the battlefield, the soldiers of the South Vietnamese Kingdom were fierce and resolute, and the anger in their eyes was incomparable, as if they were about to burst into flames, and the two sides had already started a war before the drums were officially sounded on the front line.
So even if Nangong Jingchen was ready, this time I am afraid it was still not as he wished.
Because the people of the South Vietnamese Kingdom did not play their cards at all as he envisioned.
It's not that the generals on the front line are unwilling to listen to Nangong Jingchen's words this time, but that the sergeants of the South Vietnamese Kingdom don't want to wait for the people of Daqing to be ready, so they have already preemptively attacked.
In the battlefield, the effect of the first strike is the most important.
