Cheng Jinxia looked at the figure surging two hundred feet away from a distance, his mood was very complicated, and he couldn't help but glance back at Liu Dongxing.

Liu Dongxing smiled at him and lowered his voice: "General Cheng, next, please act according to the strategy we have discussed in advance." This shouldn't be difficult for you, right? ”

Cheng Jinxia was silent for a moment before lowering his head: "The last general will live up to the general's trust!" ”

Liu Dongxing smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "I know you have misunderstood me a little these days, but that is all over, and everyone is still good brothers." You've been in Connam for many years, and it's hard to have such an opportunity, and if you miss it, I'll feel uncomfortable. But I'm sure it's going to be easy for you, and you're not going to let me down, are you? ”

Cheng Jinxia made a slight mistake, avoided his hand, and asked without answering: "The trap set up today is completely the work of the general alone. It was the general who sent people to search the path, it was the general who let people monitor here every day, it was the general who ordered the elite of the garrison to stay in Cannes, and it was also the general who dispensed medicine and set it up. But King Zheng is in front, but the general has entrusted the heavy responsibility to the last general, don't you want to capture him with your own hands? Although the general is young, he has already made great contributions on the battlefield, as long as he makes another contribution to quelling the rebellion, he will be able to rise to prominence, why give up the great opportunity and give up to the last general? ”

Liu Dongxing smiled: "General Cheng is suspicious of me hiding traitors?" I don't know why you think this way, but I want to make one thing clear, I have no intention of giving it to you. Do you think that if you capture King Zheng, I won't have any credit? I just don't have the habit of eating alone, I just want to pull my brothers and let everyone get dirty, after all, I can't do so much alone. I'm still young, I haven't been weak yet, I'm already guarding one side, if I want to rise to the top, I also have to lay a good foundation, Kangnan's position as a general hasn't been secured, why should I be in a hurry to leave? You are different, you have been here for many years, and you are not young, if you don't have this opportunity, I don't know if you will be able to meet such a good opportunity again in this life. They are all brothers in the army, I know that it is not easy for you, and I can't bear to make your pearls dusty. ”

Cheng Jinxia was skeptical, he always felt that Liu Dongxing was not such a decent and generous person, otherwise when the other party took office, why would he pretend to be a soft pest and calculate him? Isn't the purpose to grasp the power and hearts of the people in the army?

Liu Dongxing sensed his thoughts, snorted coldly, and straightened his face slightly: "What? You don't believe it? That's it, I'll give you an account today. I know why you're jealous of me, and to be honest, someone else was replaced as the general of Kangnan, and the result was the same. I'm the chief officer, and my qualifications are not as good as you, after all, my age is here, but as a deputy general, your prestige in the hearts of my subordinates is actually above me, and everyone obeys your orders and ignores me, how can you tell me to endure it? It's not that I haven't led soldiers, and it's not that I don't have real skills, I know the law of military training, and I also know the rules in the army, when I fought barbarians on the battlefield, you were still catching little thieves in the poor countryside! But you have to be strong everywhere, and you have to do everything, and before I can speak, you shout that this is the rule of the garrison, and everyone does it like this, and it cannot be changed. To put it bluntly, you just think that I suddenly appeared and robbed you of your position. I was transferred to Kangnan, it is the will of the imperial court, and it is also the will of the imperial court that you have not been promoted to the chief general, it doesn't matter if you have grievances, but you shouldn't regard me as a mediocre person, and you put on a high-minded and indifferent appearance, but secretly instructed your subordinates to squeeze me out everywhere. I can't get used to your character, it's also human nature, you should be glad that I am a righteous person, change my mind a little more ruthlessly, I'm afraid that I will already calculate you! ”

Cheng Jinxia blushed and sneered: "I know that the general has made military achievements, and it has been mentioned in the military report of the imperial court. But it is easy to kill the enemy and difficult to govern the army, and the general inevitably thinks too highly of himself, and he may also underestimate me! Of course, I value fame and fortune, but I am more worried about my brothers below! They have followed me for so many years, I haven't let them have a good life, I feel ashamed and uneasy, if Shangfeng is a villain who doesn't care about the life and death of his subordinates for personal gain, how can I rest assured that I will entrust my brothers to him?! You have been here for less than two months, although you have not done anything bad, and now you are making meritorious contributions with your brothers, but I can see that you are by no means a righteous man! Don't think I can't see your scheming, husband and wife join forces to buy people's hearts, I know it very well in my heart! I don't care what you're going to do, you want to calculate me, just let the horse come! But if you want to use the blood and sweat of my brothers to complete your path to the clouds, it is unthinkable! ”

Liu Dongxing chuckled: "You also know that I have never done anything bad, but I only think that I am hiding a traitor, it seems that what I said is also in vain." You can live the belly of the king with the heart of a villain. When is this? The rebel party is ahead, only a hundred feet away from you, but you are still thinking about that little bit of caution, arguing with me endlessly, always feeling that I am going to push you into the fire pit, which shows your human nature! You can only be a supplement, but you can't take on heavy responsibilities, and the court doesn't need you, which really makes sense. If you have some concerns and dare not move forward, then hand over the military power, and I will let someone else go for you! Kangnan 3,000 elites, there are always people who are courageous, lest you think about it, miss the fighter, and in the end complain about me. ”

Cheng Jinxia raised his eyebrows and snorted heavily: "Don't bother the general!" I still do this little thing! ”

Liu Dongxing raised his eyebrows: "Then what if you make a mistake?" ”

Cheng Jinxia replied categorically: "The general can be dealt with by military law!" ”

"Good!" The corners of Liu Dongxing's mouth curled, and a fine light flashed in his eyes - he is old, and his temperament is still so sufficient, and he can't blame others for being provoked.

At this moment, on the edge of the river valley a hundred feet away, King Zheng and his party were exhausted after a night of galloping, and finally couldn't help but stop for a little rest. The attendant cleared a slightly flat stone with his sleeve and invited King Zheng to take a seat, and as soon as the latter sat down, he began to sigh and sigh. The attendant handed over the rations and water bladders, but he kicked them away.

Shen Tu just drank a few sips of water quietly on the side, and then stepped forward and said: "The prince doesn't have to worry too much, with a few generals in charge, Qingzhou can at least be guaranteed to not fall within three days, and there are three days, which is enough for the prince to reach a safe place." ”

King Zheng's eyes were slightly red: "The generals are still defending against the enemy army in Qingzhou, but I left them and ran away, I can't stand them and live up to their expectations!" Then his expression became hideous: "This is all the traitor of the Cheng Guo Mansion!" I have always treated them as elders, when have I treated them badly? They actually betrayed me and told the court?! And the princess and the world! I have always treated them well, and they actually helped Cheng Guogong's Mansion hide from me! ”

Shen Tugang persuaded him in a low voice: "Cheng Guogong's family is hateful, but Cheng Niangniang should have no idea about this matter, she has not been back to her parents' house for more than a month, and she is even younger. Cheng Guogong disregarded his flesh and blood affection and abandoned his grandson and daughter, it was theirs, but the prince should not alienate his wife and children and family because of this! ”

King Zheng sneered: "What you say is ridiculous! When I ordered someone to kill the Cheng family, that slut cried and cried at me with his son, and scolded me for being ruthless, and even the stinky little gave me a look, how could I put my father in my eyes?! As early as the moment they blamed me for the Cheng family, they were not my wives and children! As long as I make a comeback in the future, am I still afraid that I will not have a famous lady as a wife, and I am afraid that I will not be able to give birth to children?! You don't have to intercede for them anymore! ”

Shen Tu Gang is loyal to King Zheng, since King Zheng has said so, he naturally won't say anything more, but just changed the topic: "It's the middle of the night, the moonlight is unknown, and the terrain here is uneven. The prince looks...... Do you want to rest here for the night and leave after dawn? ”

King Zheng hesitated a little: "Chasing soldiers...... Will it catch up? ”

Shen Tugang was quite confident: "The nearby mountain people have already asked their subordinates to clean up, and the people who have been here in the palace have also followed, and no one in the entire Qingzhou City knows about it, and even several generals think that the prince is going south through Rong'an." Even if Taiwei Zheng captured Qingzhou afterwards and found that the prince had left, there was no way to catch up. The prince can rest assured! ”

King Zheng's expression was relieved: "Then rest for the night." After resting, Ming'er also has the strength to hurry. ”

The attendants received the order and began to set up the tent. This is a river valley, and next to the icy water, it is almost impossible to find a flat land more than six feet square, the ground is full of stones, and the nearby woods are overgrown with weeds and snakes. In such an environment, even if you barely set up a tent, it is impossible to live comfortably. At night, the mountains and forests are foggy, the cold wind is full of moisture, I want to make a fire, the dry grass and dead branches only smoke, and it takes half a day to give birth to a little spark, and it is not enough to boil water, let alone cook hot food.

King Zheng glared at the attendant with his eyes, while gnawing on the dry food viciously, cursing non-stop: "As long as I am allowed to escape smoothly, I will make a comeback in the future, and I will cut Zhu Jingkun with a thousand knives, so that he can also taste the hardships I have suffered!" ”

As soon as his words fell, he heard a "plop", and the soldier in charge of the outermost guard suddenly fell down, and Shen Tugang immediately turned around and asked, "What's the matter?!" ”

The fog in the valley was so thick that no one could see what was going on, so some soldiers ran over to check: "My lord, he seems to be asleep." "After a long day of traveling, it was the middle of the night again, everyone was very tired, and it was not strange to fall asleep standing up.

Shen Tugang frowned: "Wake him up!" Who dares to neglect his duties while on duty, grandpa's knife does not recognize people! ”

The soldier hurriedly pushed the fallen companion, but no matter how he pushed, the man did not wake up, and the one who pushed the man also fell. Shen Tu felt that something was wrong at first, and shouted loudly to make everyone immediately stand up and be on guard. The soldiers were dazed, and some of them staggered to their feet, but staggered back to their places; Some people simply didn't wake up, just turned over and continued to sleep; Although some people reluctantly got up with their weapons and looked around, they were still shaking their heads, obviously delirious.

Shen Tugang knew that something was wrong, and he didn't care about much, so he turned around and grabbed King Zheng by the waist, and ran in the direction of Lin. As soon as he walked on his front foot, countless fires rushed in, surrounding the small valley.

The light of the fire dispelled the fog, and the rebel soldiers, who had been delirious, had just woken up and had already fallen into the hands of the Kangnan garrison, all tied up in a sturdy knot. In the last count, I found that the two most important people had run.

Cheng Jinxia scolded secretly in his heart, and while ordering someone to chase him, he held his breath and went to Liu Dongxing to recover his life. Liu Dongxing looked at him expressionlessly and didn't speak for a long time. Cheng Jinxia knew that he was at a loss, so he could only keep a straight face and keep silent, ready to meet his ridicule and reprimand.

Liu Dongxing didn't have time to scold him, so he sent people around to search for the traces of King Zheng and Shen Tugang, but unfortunately they couldn't find their traces after searching for two whole days. He was very dissatisfied, and what made him even more annoyed was that Hu Jinquan sent a military order from Taiwei Zheng from Cannes.

The Qingzhou garrison surrendered to Zheng Taiwei as early as the day after King Zheng left, and Zheng Taiwei, who learned that King Zheng had escaped, learned the route of King Zheng's escape from the two palace concubines, and received news that the Kangnan garrison had set up an ambush to capture King Zheng's brigade, so he hurriedly ordered the Kangnan garrison not to act without authorization, and waited for him to come to preside over the overall situation.
