As the curtain of the bedroom tent was raised, Yu Chizhen walked in briskly from outside. After the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info entered the sleeping tent, he first bowed down and gave a salute, and then said in a hurried tone: "The last general will see His Highness!"

Shangguan Xiu sighed secretly and asked slowly, "What is General Wei Chi's urgent military situation?"

Wei Chizhen was just about to speak, when his eyes suddenly turned to look at Wu Yufei next to him.

Shangguan Xiu understood what he meant, waved his hand, and said, "There are no outsiders here, General Wei Chi said it's okay." ”

Wei Chizhen took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, there are changes in the country!"

Shangguan Xiu's eyes flashed, staring at Wei Chizhen, and asked in a condensed voice, "What's the matter?"

Wei Chizhen said: "Tang Yu raised 300,000 troops, sent to Beijing by the soldiers of Fengjun, and King De responded, raised 200,000 troops, and sent to Beijing by the soldiers of Sichuan County!"

Hearing this, Shangguan Xiu's body was shocked, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. Tang Yu and Tang Cheng both rebelled? When the war between the Feng Kingdom and the Ningnan Kingdom was in full swing, the two of them actually rebelled?

Shangguan Xiu was stunned for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "It's just nonsense, where did King Yu get the 300,000 army?" If King Tang Cheng can sit on an army of 200,000, Shangguan Xiu believes it.

In the past, Tang Cheng had 100,000 heavy soldiers in his hands, and later when he exterminated the rebels in Sichuan County, Tang Cheng brought a lot of rebels under his command.

But to say that Tang Yu can gather an army of 300,000 at once, it is incredible.

You must know that Tang Yu is a bare-bones commander in Fengjun, and there are only a large group of people in the rivers and lakes following him, so where did this 300,000 army come from?

Besides, how much silver would be needed to form an army of 300,000 people, and where did Tang Yu get such a huge amount of silver? In Shangguan Xiu's view, this news was too unreasonable.

Wei Chizhen reached into his arms, took out a thin small bamboo tube, handed it to Shangguan Xiu, and said, "Your Highness, this is the Shangjing biography that the last general has just received. ”

Shangguan Xiu took it, looked closely, the small bamboo tube was still waxed, he pulled out the lid, poured out the note inside, and unfolded it to take a look, the content inside was basically the same as what Wei Chizhen said, it was an urgent message sent from Shangjing.

He was just about to speak, when a voice came from outside the tent: "Get out of the way, I want to see His Highness immediately!"

Hearing that it was Zhang Xiao's words, Shangguan Xiu immediately said, "Zhang Xiao come in!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Xiao strode in from outside.

Entering the sleeping tent and seeing that Yu Chizhen was also there, he was stunned for a moment, and reacted, presumably Yu Chizhen had already received a summons from Shangjing. He said with a straight face: "Brother Xiu, the book is spread in China, and it is urgent to go to Beijing!"

If the news from Wei Chizhen is true, Shangguan Xiu will still doubt the authenticity of it, then Shangguan Xiu will no longer have a little doubt about the news brought by Zhang Xiao.

He got up from the bed and asked, "The news you brought is also about the rebellion of King Yu and King De?"

"Exactly!"

"300,000 for King Yu, 200,000 for King De?"

"Yes, Brother Xiu!"

"Where did King Yu's army of 300,000 come from?"

"It's the rebels of the year!" Seeing Shangguan Xiu raise his eyebrows, Zhang Xiao explained: "The rebels of that year were not all wiped out, and a considerable number of rebels were divided into pieces, returning to their hometowns and waiting for an opportunity. This time, more than 200,000 of the 300,000 rebels who were summoned by Tang Yu were these people!"

When it came to the rebellion of the year, Yu Chi Zhen's expression suddenly darkened, it was in this rebellion that Yu Chi Yao forced the palace to fail, and killed himself with three thousand soldiers in front of the palace, shocking the whole country. Until now, the ancestral hall built by the people spontaneously for Wei Chi Yao is still outside the capital.

"What about the other 100,000?"

"It's the local army of Wind County. The county guards and county lieutenants of Wind County have been imprisoned, and the local army of Wind County is now in Tang Yu's hands. ”

Shangguan Xiu frowned and asked, "Why didn't you report such a big matter in advance?"

"This ......"

"Anything else, all at once!"

"Wu Yun, the branch master of the Shura Hall in Feng County...... Now that he has taken refuge in Tang Yu, presumably there have been all the contacts between Wu Yun and Tang Yu for a long time, and most of the news from the Fengjun branch has been concealed, or, or it is all fake news at all. Zhang Xiao's voice became lower and lower, and in the end, even he himself was about to hear clearly.

In the entire Wind Country, one of the counties that hates Shangguanxiu the most is Wind County. Among the branches of Shura Hall in various counties, the one with the worst development and weakest strength is also the branch of Feng County.

Who knows, the Fengjun Branch, which is inconspicuous in the hall on weekdays and has always been a low-key person, actually made such a big deal this time, led by the branch master, and the entire branch hall defected to Tang Yu's side.

A table next to Shangguan Xiu suddenly shattered and scattered all over the ground. He exclaimed, "Bastard!"

"Brother Xiu is angry!"

"Your Highness is angry!" Zhang Xiao and Yu Chizhen were shocked, and they both bowed and saluted.

Shangguan Xiu narrowed his eyes, clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth and said: "If you don't rebel sooner, you won't rebel later, but you rebelled when our country and Ningnan were in the middle of a fierce battle, this time is really good!"

This is simply a rebellion that kills with one blow.

Wei Chizhen smiled, smiled bitterly, bowed down and said: "Your Highness, Tang Yu and Tang Cheng can only succeed if they rebel at this time, otherwise, it will be difficult to succeed!"

There are two million central troops in the Wind Country, and 500,000 rebels sound like a lot, but in front of the two million well-equipped and brave central army, it is a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, vulnerable to attack.

As soon as he finished speaking, Shangguan Xiu's fierce gaze had already shot at Wei Chi Zhen, and he said coldly: "It sounds like General Wei Chi agrees with the two of them. ”

Wei Chizhen's body was shocked, and he hurriedly knelt on his knees and explained: "The last general is just talking about things, and he has no mercy for Tang Yu and Tang Cheng and the two thieves, let alone the slightest involvement, and I also ask Your Highness to learn about it." ”

In this sensitive period, no matter who it is, as long as they stick to the rebels a little, their lives will inevitably be difficult to protect, although Shangguan Xiu just said a light word, Wei Chizhen still heard a strong murderous aura from it.

Shangguan Xiu snorted coldly, rolled his eyes, and said: "In Shangjing, there is still the First Army stationed, although the enemy army is numerous, it may not be able to defeat Shangjing!"

The current battlefield is no longer the battlefield of the first rebellion, when firearms were not yet popularized, but now, firearms have been fully applied to the battlefield, the first army is the elite army of Beijing, armed to the teeth, 500,000 rebels with cold weapons, in front of the first army, that is, 500,000 human targets.

However, Zhang Xiao's next words completely shattered Shangguan Xiu's confidence. He coughed dryly twice and said in a low voice, "Brother Xiu, the rebels ...... The rebels are now fully equipped with firearms!"

Shangguan Xiu looked at Zhang Xiao in disbelief. 500,000 rebels, 500,000 firearms, how did Tang Yu and Tang Cheng do it?

Zhang Xiao continued: "Yes...... It was Tang Yu who bought it from the country of Besa!"

"Bought half a million guns?"

"Yes!"

"Where did you get the silver?" Tang Yu couldn't have millions of silver, and Tang Ling couldn't let him hold so much silver in his hands.

Zhang Xiao lowered his head and asked: "Your Highness, do you still remember that when the national war broke out, the Cai family's Baofeng Qianzhuang and the Song family's Kaiyuan Silver were robbed repeatedly?"

Shangguan Xiu's eyes flashed, and he asked in surprise: "Do you mean to say that the robbery of Baofeng Qianzhuang and Kaiyuan Silver is related to King Yu?"

"Although the subordinates do not have sufficient evidence, they are also nine times out of ten. Seeing Shangguan Xiu's brows furrowed into a pimple, Zhang Xiao said again: "The robbers are very cunning, they have repeatedly looted the branches of Baofeng Qianzhuang and Kaiyuan Yinhao, but they did not touch the Sitong Silver Number of my Shura Hall, at that time, the brothers in the hall thought that someone was framing my Shura Hall, but because it was not their business, the brothers in the hall did not go all out to investigate. Now that I think about it, we, or all of us, have fallen for the tricks of the robbers, and their purpose is not to splash dirty water on my Shura Hall's head, but just to hide people's eyes and ears, so that the people who investigate them will lock their eyes on my Shura Hall, and at the same time, let my Shura Hall have nothing to do with themselves, and sit back and watch easily, this is a good strategy to kill two birds with one stone!"

Now that he has figured out everything, Zhang Xiao also has to admire the cunning and meticulousness of the person who secretly planned this matter, he calculated all aspects of psychology, and completely played with it, and unknowingly gathered a huge amount of silver.

Shangguan Xiu pondered for a long time and sighed faintly. The other party's tactics are not very clever, but the timing is really good.

The national war between the wind country and Ningnan broke out, they started in secret, and repeatedly looted Baofeng Qian Zhuang and Kaiyuan Yinhao, you must know that these two big silver numbers are one of the financial pillars of the wind country, the two silver numbers suffered heavy losses, the treasury will naturally be empty, and the emptiness of the treasury will inevitably lead to insufficient supplies on the front line, so that the momentum of the wind army on the battlefield will gradually turn from strong to weak, and gradually fall into the quagmire of war, and it is difficult to get out. And in this way, it just gave the rebels a good opportunity to attack.

If the Wind Country and Besa hadn't fought that national war and maintained the relationship that was neither good nor bad before, Besa might not sell weapons to Tang Yu and support the rebels, which would be enough to make the two countries fully hostile, and Besa would have more or less concerns.

But now, the Wind Country and Besa have completely torn their faces, Besa can't wait for the opportunity for you to have a chance for the wind and civil strife, I heard that Tang Yu is going to rebel, it is estimated that the Besa people will wake up laughing when they sleep, even if Tang Yu doesn't give them silver, let the Besa country aid weapons in vain and support his rebellion, the Besa country will agree.

This is completely a premeditated rebellion, what is lacking is timing, and the national war between the Wind Country and Ningnan just gave Tang Yu this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Tang Ling underestimated Tang Yu, and Shangguan Xiu felt that he also underestimated Tang Yu. If you don't forbear, you will be fatal with one blow.

"With the support of the Besa State, the First Army will not be able to resist the 500,000 rebels no matter what, and I must return to China immediately!" As he spoke, Shangguan Xiu walked quickly to the hanger, picked up a coat from it, and quickly put it on.

Wei Chizhen asked, "Your Highness, is our army retreating from the country?"

No matter how important the battlefield of the national war is, it is not as important as going to Beijing to rush to the capital. If Shangjing falls and the imperial court collapses, what's the point of fighting this national war?

Shangguan Xiu's dressing action froze for a moment, thought for a moment, and said categorically: "Don't withdraw the army! Far water can't quench the thirst of the near, and withdrawing the army now will be useless!"

It would take at least two or three months for the army of the five legions to withdraw from Mingshui County to Shangjing, and in such a long time, Shangjing would probably have been captured by the rebels.

What's more, on the battlefield of the National War, three fronts, one blow will move the whole body, as long as the five Feng Army legions in Mingshui County withdraw, the 500,000 Ningnan Army in Qianlong City can immediately go north to aid the Duji battlefield, and at that time, the nine legions invested by the Wind Country on the Duji battlefield will be attacked by the 1.5 million army in Ningnan, and these nearly a million Feng Army soldiers will have to be handed over to the Duji front.
