But as the saying goes, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, although Xia Cheng and Wang Ren are both Chen Xuan's confidants and favorite generals, and they also have military power. It's just that Xia Cheng himself understands very well that he led his army out to meet Empress Shengde's army on the northern route, but Wang Ren was able to sit in the city. This also invisibly shows that his status is still lower than Wang Ren. It was this little disagreement that led to the dissatisfaction, and the fact that there was already a formal civil war with Empress Shengde's army at this time, and Wang Ren was not sent to fight against Empress Shengde's southern route army, the intention of this was already obvious.

Xia Cheng originally knew that he was the general of the Right Tunwei, and Wang Ren was the general of the Left Tunwei, and according to the principle of upper left and lower right, his own official position was lower than him. Originally, under Chen Xuan's control, Xia Cheng was able to endure some of Wang Ren's dispatches. But now, Chen Xuan left Checheng to inspect the shore of the Shenghai Sea, Wang Ren was in Checheng, how could Xia Cheng accept the news he sent, not to mention that this was still an order for him to return directly to Checheng to garrison. Thinking of this, Xia Cheng couldn't help but sneer secretly, Wang Ren is worthy of being a general who was born as a scholar, and his consideration of many issues is relatively simple, and he will not think about deeper things. Since Chen Xuan had ordered him to go north to resist Empress Shengde's army, this also showed Chen Xuan's attitude, he could lose the Weiku Plain, which was no longer of any use, but he didn't want to lose the north, but wanted to seize important mining resources. In Xia Cheng's cognition, Wang Ren couldn't think about these deeper issues.

Whether it is for public or private purposes, Xia Chengdu will never accept Wang Ren's opinion, he snorted coldly, and said to the messenger of Wang Ren in front of him: "It's really a pedantic person, go back to tell Wang Ren for me, since His Royal Highness wants him to guard the city thoroughly, I don't need him to care about the affairs here, you go back." Brothers," Xia Cheng turned his head, "since we are serving His Royal Highness King Che, we should strictly implement every order of him, not to mention, dying on the battlefield is our fate, what is there to retreat from? Whoever dares to say a word of retreat, I will not spare it! Brothers, what do you think?"

"I am willing to serve King Che, and I am willing to listen to the command of the general!" The enthusiasm and enthusiasm of the soldiers were infected by Xia Cheng's words, and the soldiers gathered around him took the lead in shouting, and suddenly the whole wilderness began to faintly float this sentence. When the envoy sent by Wang Ren saw the situation in front of him, he also understood that Xia Cheng would definitely not withdraw his troops from the current situation. But if he doesn't withdraw his troops, his task will not be completed, thinking of this, the envoy's eyes quietly turned, he thought of a person, looking for him, maybe it is possible to complete this task.

In the distance, on the opposite side of the wilderness, a general in a red robe and a golden helmet stood under the silver-edged phoenix flag, which was also hung on a high platform, from which the entire wilderness could be seen in an unobstructed view. At this time, the middle-aged general wearing a golden helmet also heard a burst of unclear but actual shouts from the camp of the royal Chen family opposite, the general couldn't help frowning slightly, as if talking to himself and as if he was talking to the person next to him, and whispered: "These people, at this time, they suddenly shouted at this time? Could it be that this guy Xia Cheng is still boosting morale?"

As soon as the general's words fell, the soldiers around him hurriedly stepped forward and whispered: "General, maybe it's because there is some unstable news within them, which makes Xia Cheng have to do this to boost morale. ”

The general standing under the silver-edged phoenix flag nodded slowly, which was exactly what he thought of as a possibility. It's just that why Xia Cheng wants to boost morale is something worth thinking about.

"Pass my order, send your right-hand brother at once, make a detour to inquire about the news, and as soon as there is news worthy of return, come back and tell me at once!" the general commanded in a low voice.

"Yes!" the soldier left the place quickly, and the general continued to stand under the silver-white phoenix banner with his hands in his hands, staring intently at the wildness in front of him, and carefully watching the situation in front of him. In some ways, he is still a person who knows Xia Cheng better, and Xia Cheng's ability to lead the army naturally has no objections. It's just that Xia Cheng's weakness is also very obvious, and his ability to handle things politically is not very good. Especially at this time, the general may even imagine that there may be some kind of special accident within the Chen family of the royal family, which will lead to a sudden change in the current situation. At this point, the general is very convinced that Xia Cheng's personality will inevitably lead to some parts of the royal Chen family that they know about infighting.

The general sneered silently, and this time he really said to himself: "In that case, why not seize such an opportunity?"

Although the situation has not yet been determined, Wang Yan, the general under the command of Empress Chen Xinyu of Shengde, that is, the commander who led the 50,000 troops in the north, is already full of hope. He knows very well that whether the situation can be opened up now, the importance of strategy lies in them.

On the second day, Empress Chen Xinyu of Shengde sent the president of the Praetorian Guard in the north, and led Wang Yan, who had been resting for a period of time and did not move his troops, suddenly launched a front army and rushed directly into the military camp of the Chen family of the opposite royal family. Although the number of this army is not large, it is enough to put a lot of pressure on the army of the imperial Chen family in many ways. The army of the Chen family of the imperial family is not very stable internally now, and some of the soldiers want to go back to the city, mainly because they themselves do not belong to Xia Cheng's army, they themselves belong directly to the army under the command of another general, Wang Ren. Xia Cheng hadn't completely cleaned it yet, so he had to give up such a plan for the time being too late.

Of course, Xia Cheng would never stop there, only because the battle was about to come to an end, so he had to choose to stop for the time being. However, due to today's sudden situation, Xia Cheng, who was about to return to the camp and start a part of the cleaning, had no choice but to send the front army to meet the battle. But then, there was an urgent news outside, Wang Yan, the commander of the Praetorian Guard under the command of Empress Shengde, personally led the army to the gate of the camp, wanting to meet Xia Cheng in person.

Such a move made Xia Cheng, who was just about to return to the camp, completely unexpected, but out of level parity and a kind of friendship for his old friend, Xia Cheng naturally chose to lead his personal guards out to meet his old friend for a while. However, Xia Cheng was also very curious to know why his old friend, who had always been based on stability, made such a strange move, and he actually came here to challenge it himself. I think at the beginning, the two of them were old friends who talked about everything, after all, they were under the same master, although this period of studying together was not very long, but the two of them always remembered each other. It's just that later, because of the family and various reasons, he has now become a representative of the contrast of the upper forces. However, whether it is Wang Yan or Xia Cheng, the two of them have never regretted what they have experienced.

Xia Cheng would never have thought that when he led his 5,000 personal guards and 10,000 former troops to leave the camp of the Chen family of the imperial family to meet with Wang Yan, he had no time to send the troops under Wang Ren's command to leave here in the original camp, but he immediately started a plot.

In a tent camp, the general and his two lieutenants from the 5,000 army that Wang Ren had personally trained gathered together to discuss a series of strategies for dealing with the development of the situation, no matter what, it was better than sitting still here. And behind him, there was also a messenger with an angry face, this envoy was none other than the envoy of Wang Ren who had been expelled from here after being ridiculed by Xia Cheng before. It's just that he didn't go back to the city, but took another path to the camp of the royal Chen family. With his identity, he successfully found the 5,000 troops belonging to Wang Ren in this army of 50,000 people, because it was the army under Wang Ren, so it was not reused by Xia Cheng and was demoted to the rear camp to guard. However, it was precisely because of this that the messenger was able to make a detour to this place without any problems. At this time, the messenger was constantly persuading the general who was in command of the army.

"General, you are confused, Xia Cheng and the general have always been incompatible, now the general is sitting in the city, in place of His Royal Highness King Che in charge of the current military power, do we have to suffer this kind of resentful treatment under the fence here? Now that Xia Cheng is not in the camp, this is our golden opportunity, even if we don't seize the military power here, we will at least return to the city to help the general, so it is in our basic interests, otherwise, what is the difference between us and sitting and waiting to be killed here?"

The envoy's words were very excited, and the general in front of him sighed silently, and he said helplessly: "It is unrealistic to seize military power, even if Xia Cheng is not in this camp now, his control over this army is still there." At most, we will return to the city, but" The general did not finish his words, he was actually worried that once they returned to the city, the situation here that was originally evenly matched was likely to change dramatically, and this was their problem!

The envoy in front of him stomped his feet, and said helplessly: "General, won't Xia Chengcheng protect his army? Now, whoever can grasp the military power will have the right to speak, look at the current general, although he has the military power, he is not able to command the army. At this time, it is the time when the general needs to go back to help, what is the general hesitating about?"
