Volume III Chapter 720

In front of Yin Kai, they did not have any humility and respect as subordinates, and they were completely showing off their might and did not take him seriously.

Yin Kai seemed to accept this as a matter of course, and early the next morning, Yin Kai suddenly began to exercise his right as the commander of the whole army, and summoned all the soldiers of the army to practice.

As a result, the generals ignored his summoning order, and no one responded, and all of them slept with their heads covered in their tents.

When the sun was up, no one came, Yin Kai stopped waiting, and sent Nie Shu's personal guards to him, and went to the generals' sleeping tents to arrest people.

This time it can make things bigger, and for a while, the entire You Army camp is so lively.

None of these generals in the rebel army were from the regular army, most of them were bandits before they became rebels, and they were usually bullied by others, and they were once captured by people.

When the Yin Kai pro-soldier guards tied the generals to the school military field, the school military field scolded all the time, and the generals were blushing and thick-necked, what was ugly and scolding, and the eighteen generations of Yin Kai's ancestors were greeted several times.

Yin Kai was not angry, nor did he talk nonsense with the generals, but calmly asked people to find the executioner, and sent an order to go down, and when noon came, all these generals who did not obey the military order were beheaded and displayed to the public.

Until this time, the generals didn't take it seriously, thinking that Yin Kai was just a new official's three fires, making a pretentious appearance, scaring and scaring people, and didn't dare to really kill them.

But at noon, Yin Kai didn't have any intention of letting people go. The executioner was really ordered to be beheaded, and even the wine and food before the execution were prepared for the generals, at this time, people also felt that something was wrong, and Yin Kai seemed to be real.

All the generals at the rank of corps commander and above were all arrested by Yin Kai and tied up in the school military field to be killed for public display. This matter is too big, someone has already gone to the city to report to Nie Shu.

Nie Shu was also startled when he heard this, and hurried out of the city and rushed to the camp of the You army.

When he arrived at Youying, he was just in time for Yin Kaigao to be executed, and he was about to order the execution of all the generals.

Nie Shu's face changed in fright, and he screamed on the spot to stop.

As for whether to behead these generals who disobeyed the order, Nie Shu and Yin had serious disagreements, according to Yin Kai's meaning. Those who do not obey military orders are the black sheep of the army, and they are far more harmful to the army than the enemy, and they must not be kept.

Of course, Nie Shu disagrees, these generals are either corps commanders or partial generals, it can be said that they are the pillars of the You army. If they are all killed, the You army will also collapse. Besides, all the generals were Nie Shu's elder brothers, and they were the backbone of the Yan State who followed him to raise troops and rebel against the Yan State, whether it was public or private, he couldn't let Yin Kai kill them.

Yin Kai insisted on execution. Nie Shu was resolutely opposed, and the argument between the two gradually evolved into a quarrel from the beginning, and in the end, both of them were blushing and thick-necked, and the sound of the quarrel could even be faintly heard by the people around the school's military field.

None of the generals expected it. This Yin Kai, who had just ascended to the sky, would have such a big boldness, dare to openly argue with the general, dare to openly question the authority of the general, and see the embarrassment of the general riding a tiger in front of Yin Kai, anxious and helpless, all the generals lowered their heads one by one, and now they began to regret it, regretting that because they were so fast, they let the general fall into such an embarrassing situation.

In the end, Yin Kai made concessions, he could not behead the generals, but there was one thing, the mastermind must be severely punished.

Yin Kai believes that it is no accident that all the generals disobey the military order this time, and there must be one person who is the mastermind, and he can not be blamed for the accomplices, but the mastermind must be dealt with by military law, which is also the biggest concession he can make.

He had already shown the bottom line, and Nie Shu didn't want to say anything more, so he acquiesced to Yin Kai's decision, and the dispute between the two came to an end.

Then, Yin Kai walked to the front of the crowd and said in a shocking voice: "This time, all the generals will disobey the military orders of the commander, and there must be a mastermind among them, who among you is the mastermind, now take the initiative to stand up!"

The generals looked at each other, all of them at a loss. What is the mastermind? What is Yin Kai talking nonsense?

There is really no mastermind among them, none of the generals have opened their eyes to the yin, and no one will take his general order to heart, this collective protest is completely spontaneous behavior of their unanimous opinion, and no one instigates it at all.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Yin Kai's face was gloomy, he snorted coldly, and said categorically: "Now the general has come to intercede for you, Ben Shuai can exempt you from the death penalty, but the mastermind must be punished with capital punishment to set an example, now if you take the initiative to stand up, only you will die, if you refuse to stand up, don't blame Ben Shuai for not being merciful, today, you will be beheaded." ”

Hearing his words, the faces of all the generals changed, this time there was indeed no mastermind, how could they admit it?

"Yin ...... General Yin, we are not provoked by some people, but ...... It's ......," said one of the generals, hesitantly.

"Death is coming, you are still shielding the mastermind, even if Ben Shuai wants to spare your life, there is no way. Yin Kai's face was full of helplessness, shook his head, turned back to Nie Shu and said: "General, the mastermind refuses to admit it, and the generals refuse to confess who is the mastermind, and the last general can only behead all the generals!" Before Nie Shu could reply, Yin Kai shouted to the executioners: "Prepare to execute!"

The executioners grinned secretly, but the boss had an order, and they didn't dare to disobey the order, and people hardened their heads and slowly raised the ghost head knife in their hands.

Seeing this, Nie Shu's sweat came out, and he was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, but there was nothing he could do.

Looking at the ghost head knife that stopped in the air and flashed with cold light, the generals couldn't help but secretly say in their hearts that it was over, and now they have all seen that Yin Kai is Wang Ba's iron heart to kill them, and they can't imagine that they failed to die in front of the two armies, but they want to die under their own knives, which is really a great shame.

Yin Kai glanced around at everyone and raised his hand. Just as he was about to wave his hand to order the execution, one of the generals yelled, "Wait a minute!"

Hearing the shouting, people's eyes fell on the general.

This man was in his thirties and less than forty years old, tall and powerful, and his appearance was already vicious. The face is full of horizontal meat, and there is an oblique scar on the face, which is even more hideous.

This is none other than the general in the rebel army, Chen Kui.

He was born as a mountain bandit, and he was also one of the first old men to follow Nie Shu, and he can be regarded as Nie Shu's confidant and favorite general, and he has also made great contributions to the rebels.

Yin Kai looked at him puzzled and asked, "General Chen, before you are executed." What else do you have to say?"

Chen Kui glared at Yin Kai angrily, gritted his teeth and said, "Yin Kai, aren't you looking for the mastermind? Ben Jiang is the mastermind! If you want to kill, kill me, and it has nothing to do with other brothers!"

"Ah!" Yin Kai nodded, and said calmly: "General Chen would have been fine if he had already stood up, so why not cause other generals to be afraid." As he spoke, he turned around again and arched his hand to Nie Shu and said, "General." The mastermind, Chen Kui, has pleaded guilty to the crime and should be punished in accordance with the law. Please give the order to the general!"

Nie Shu looked at Chen Kui with blank eyes, his lips trembled, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

Chen Kui also looked at Nie Shu, his eyes were red, tears swirled in his eyes, and he said loudly: "The last general can no longer fight with the general in the future." I only hope that the general can recover my Dayou, and the last general can also smile at Jiuquan!"

Listening to his words, Nie Shu's tears immediately flowed.

Yin Kai frowned, and reminded again: "Please order the execution of the general!"

Nie Shu didn't seem to hear his words, and walked towards Chen Kui.

Looked at. Yin Kai didn't wait for him to give an order, and instead shouted to the executioner: "Execution!"

As he spoke, the light in his eyes frightened the executioner, and if he dared to slack off, he slashed down the ghost head knife raised in the air with all his might.

The sword light flashed, the blood splattered, and there was a click, and Chen Kui's head fell in response.

"Chen Kui!" Nie Shu saw it clearly, he couldn't help but scream, his eyes turned black, and he almost fainted on the spot, his body swayed back and forth, if it weren't for the guards around him to support him quickly, he was afraid that he would have to paralyze to the ground on the spot.

He slowed down for a while before he took this breath back, and then, he threw himself on Chen Kui's corpse and cried loudly.

Nie Shuzhi cried so badly, and all the generals around him also shed tears, and many generals cried and shouted: "General, General Chen, he died unjustly...... "He exchanged his own life for everyone's lives."

Seeing Nie Shu and the generals crying together, Yin Kai had no expression on his face, and waved his hand to the guards around him: "The mastermind who provoked the generals to disobey the military order has now been punished, but the generals can be exempted from the death penalty, and the living crime is unforgivable, and each person will be heavily punished with fifty military sticks, and it will be executed immediately!"

This turmoil of three fires in the office of the new official ended with the death of Chen Kui.

It seems that this is just an insignificant small turmoil, and the death is only a Chen Kui who is not very outstanding in force, but this time the incident has a far-reaching impact, and it has greatly played the role of killing a hundred people and knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger.

Since then, no one dares not to open Yin in his eyes, and no one in the You army dares to disobey Yin Kai's military order, and Yin Kai sits firmly on the throne of the commander of the three armies with his iron and bloody wrists.

Through this killing of Chen Kui, Yin Kai successfully won prestige, and Nie Shu consolidated the hearts of the people.

It must be explained that Nie Shu and Yin Kai had not discussed it in advance, and the two of them had achieved some tacit understanding completely temporarily, but for Chen Kui's death, Nie Shu's sadness was not pretended, he felt that Chen Kui's death was meaningful.

There is no doubt about employing people, no suspicion is needed, since he decided to reuse Yin Kai, Nie Shu has the responsibility to establish prestige for him in the army, it is worth sacrificing a Chen Kui to do this, and Nie Shu himself is also very clear that You Jun has indeed reached the point where he will perish if he does not govern it again, he did not govern You Jun well, military discipline is loose, he will not become a general, and a soldier will not become a soldier, not that he does not want to govern the army well, but he really has no choice, most of the generals in the army are his old brothers, and he has only come to this day with his head in his birth and death, no matter who he scolds, he is not very easy to speak, and now he is replaced by Yin Kai to manage the affairs of the army, he can also withdraw from the matter, no longer worry about the problem of governing the army.

Nie Shu and Yin Kai, the master and servant, can be called a natural pair, one is white-faced and the other is red-faced, and they will be the most difficult to control You Jun soldiers and submissive. Of course, that's all for later.

Since Yin Kai became the commander of the You Army, the You Army has changed greatly, and the officers and men in the army have also taken on a new look.

While stepping up the drills, Yin Kai also secretly transferred troops to the western border in batches. However, the large battalion of the You Army has not changed, and it is still the original size, making the illusion that the strength of the You Army has not decreased.

Soon after Yin Kai became the commander of the rebels, the battle for the throne of the Yan Kingdom court finally came to an end, and Yin Xiang became the first female monarch in the history of the Yan Kingdom with an absolute advantage.

When Yin Xiang ascended the throne, the main local army had been disarmed by her, and there was no longer a threat to her, and Yin Xiang, who had no worries, began to point the finger at Yusi's rebels.

Soon, Zhang Situ sent a letter to Chen Hua, who was stationed in Youxi. Tell him that the third princess has successfully inherited the throne and that it is time for him to destroy the rebels, and order him to immediately gather his forces to deal the last blow to the remaining rebels, and he also mentioned that the lord has sent Lu You to lead the tenth army to Yusi to reinforce him.

Knowing that Yin Xiang had inherited the throne, Chen Hua was very excited. He was even more excited when he heard that Lu Youdu personally led the army to reinforce him. However, he did not sit back and wait for the arrival of reinforcements from Lu You.

It is too far from Zhaoyang to Youdi, the journey is not thousands of miles, and at the speed of the legion's march, it will take at least two or three months to walk, and he can't wait that long, and. He was also anxious to send a congratulatory gift for Yin Xiang's succession to the throne, and in his opinion, there was no more appropriate gift than the congratulatory gift of the suppression of the rebels.

He gathered all the Yan army, consisting of the remnants of the ninth, eleventh, sixteenth, and seventeenth legions, forming an army of 250,000 people, and slaughtered the rebels in Bainan County with great fanfare and might.

Long story short. Ten days later.

The imposing Yan army arrived at the junction of Bainan County and Fantiao County, looking at the shabby You army camp opposite, most of the Yan army soldiers scoffed, but Chen Hua did not dare to have the slightest carelessness.

The combat power of the You army is not something that can be judged by common sense, even if the soldiers of the You army are holding wooden sticks, the combat effectiveness is still amazing.

Chen Hua ordered the whole army to rest for a day first, and took the opportunity to inquire about the situation in You Ying.

However, most of the spies sent by the Yan army have not returned, and it can be seen that the defense of the You camp is still very tight, and the surrounding area is full of dark posts of the You army.

Because he didn't find out the situation of You Jun, Chen Hua didn't want to go into battle hastily, but the next day, You Jun actually took the initiative to come out of the camp to challenge.

The strength of the You army is not much, only 2,000 people, but the main general who leads the army can have a great background, and it is Lei Hong, who is known as the second fierce in the rebel army.

Lei Hong is not only strong in martial arts, but also infinitely powerful, and in the battle between the two armies, there are 10,000 invincible bravery.

Hearing that the You army only came out with 2,000 people to challenge, the Yan army naturally would not be afraid to fight.

A partial general of the 16th Army Corps, who was the first to fight, did not even walk in front of Lei Hong, and was smashed to death by Lei Hong in front of the two armies.

The second person in the Yan Army was also the partial general of the Sixteenth Legion, he was slightly better than the one in front, but he only lasted three rounds, and he was also picked by Lei Hong on the horse, following in the footsteps of the one in front.

Next, the Yan army successively sent three generals, but the result was still the same, none of them survived, and all of them died under Lei Hong's heavy knife.

Lei Hong's bravery can deter the Yan army at this time, the five generals, not even a single hair of the enemy general was injured, but he died one after another, this general is too powerful.

Chen Hua no longer sent generals to meet the battle, and discussed with the generals in the Chinese army tent in the Yan camp how to defeat the enemy.

Some people were afraid of Lei Hong's force and suggested that they should temporarily avoid the battle and wait for Lu You's reinforcements to arrive, while others suggested launching a full-scale attack and directly crushing You's army with absolute superiority in troops.

Speaking of which, the Yan generals were finally divided into two factions, one faction was the main battle, and the other faction advocated waiting for reinforcements, and the two sides were arguing, which also made Chen Hua lose his mind for a while.

The Yan generals were still arguing in the camp whether to fight or not, and Lei Hong, who went out of the camp to challenge, saw that no one responded to the battle, so he retreated to the You camp, but he did not stay much in the You camp, and led two thousand You soldiers to enter through the north camp gate, and out of the south camp gate, through the camp, and went to the hinterland of Bainan County.

There were many Yan army spies around You Ying, they didn't dare to get too close to You Ying, and they couldn't see the situation inside You Ying, but Lei Hong led people to leave You Ying and go south, they could see it, and Yan Army spies immediately sent the information back to the Yan Army camp.

When he heard that Lei Hong, the general who had come to challenge, had already withdrawn, and had even withdrawn from the camp of the You army, heading south, the generals of the Yan army headed by Chen Hua were all shocked.

"General Chen, You Ren's behavior is a little abnormal, the traitor Lei Hong is so powerful, why did he go south if he didn't stay in You Ying!" Gao Peng, the commander of the Eleventh Legion, frowned and said with a puzzled face.

Yes, Lei Hong's behavior is indeed abnormal! Chen Hua also didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in You Jun's gourd.

While he was silent, a Yan general suddenly exclaimed, "You Ren shouldn't be using a suspicious strategy, the main force of the rebels has already withdrawn to the hinterland of Bainan County?"

"How is that possible, You Ying is just opposite our army......" Gao Peng said in a deep voice, before he finished speaking, Chen Hua's mind flashed, and he continued: "Maybe, it's an empty camp at all!"

"Empty camp?" The faces of the Yan generals changed at the same time, and their eyes fell on Chen Hua in unison. (To be continued......)
