Chapter 485: Confessing Identity
But then again, the root of covering up your identity is also to find General Zhang as soon as possible.
Now that General Zhang has appeared, there is no need to continue to hide his identity.
Chen Mu glanced at General Zhang and said slowly.
"You don't have to be like this, when you came to this city, most of you didn't expect that the county officials in this city would attack you, and if you were unprepared, you fell for their scheme, and there was no way to do it."
"Get up first, I came in person to recruit the rebels and search for your whereabouts, and I also realized that things are not so simple."
Seeing Chen Mu say this, the general Zhang sighed with a sigh on his face, he stood up, looked in the direction of the leader of the rebel army, and then smiled.
"This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who administers justice for me, you can trust him, I said before that I wanted to send news to the Lord of the capital, and I also wanted to send news to His Royal Highness the Prince."
"I didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would come in person."
Speaking of which, General Zhang seemed to have thought of something.
He sighed heavily, his face solemn.
"But then again, I guess the news I sent to the capital was also stopped by those few families."
"Heh, they are really bold, they can do such a deceitful thing, they are better than General Xin and others!"
Seeing him say this, Chen Mu also sighed helplessly, nodded and agreed.
Seeing that General Zhang had appeared and revealed his identity, Chen Mu did not delay.
He glanced at Lord Ye and asked Lord Ye to loosen the ties of those rebels.
Lord Ye still hesitated, he was worried that these rebels would make a move on Chen Mu.
But seeing Chen Mu's insistence, he had no choice but to step forward and untie the ropes that bound those rebels.
The leader of the rebel army slowly stood up straight and did not make a move on Chen Mu.
He glanced in the direction of General Zhang in confusion, and after a moment of silence, he said.
"You said Zhao'an?"
"Yes, Zhao'an, I won't punish you, I know that you were also forced to a dead end, so you chose to rebel, although this is a big impact and impact on our Great Xia Dynasty."
"But for the sake of your first offense, I will ask my father and the emperor not to punish you severely, and when this city is stabilized, I will ask my father to make you a general."
Chen Mu said with a relaxed expression.
When his words fell, the leader of the rebel army and General Zhang stared in surprise.
General Zhang was a little hesitant, but Chen Mu said slowly when he saw them like this.
"This time I came to this city, and I also realized that these border officials are bold and reckless, and because of the fact that the emperor is far away, if they want to deceive the superiors and subordinates, it is impossible for my father and I to know about the situation in this border city."
"I thought about it for a while, and decided to divide the two forces to control the border city."
One of these forces was the county officials and garrisons stationed in this border city.
The other force was formed by this group of peasant rebels.
The mutual supervision of these two forces can also ensure the absolute integrity and impartiality of these two forces.
Seeing that Chen Mu was planning to do so, General Zhang thought about it for a while, and immediately understood Chen Mu's thoughts.
And the young man was silent for a moment, and suddenly knelt down in front of Chen Mu.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise and martial, I heard General Zhang mention your matter before, and I was still skeptical."
"I thought that the nobles of the capital would not care about the life and death of our people......"
When he said this, the young man's voice choked, and Chen Mu shook his head and sighed when he heard him say this.
The people are the foundation of the country, he knows this better than anyone else, and asked the rebel generals to be lifted up, and Chen Mu asked about the situation of the other rebel armies.
I learned that the number of rebel troops hiding in this city was as high as fifty or sixty, and the number of other cities that were not so tightly defended also hid nearly a hundred rebel troops.
But these are the only remaining rebels, and the remaining ones have been captured by General Zhang's subordinates and imprisoned in the dungeon.
As soon as he mentioned this, General Zhang was indignant, he gritted his teeth and said coldly.
"Those people really don't know whether they are alive or dead, and they dare to make peace with these county orders, attack the rebels, and ignore the evil things that these county orders have done."
"If they were my old subordinates, I would have killed them a long time ago, but it's a pity that ......"
Most of the lieutenants and junior generals who came to this city with General Zhang to quell the rebel army were the descendants of the Jiangmen family in the capital.
Chen Mu handed these people over to General Zhang at the beginning, and he also wanted General Zhang to take them with him and teach them how to march and fight, but he didn't expect it.
Those people in the family were protected by officials, and these people ignored the grievances of the people when they noticed that the county magistrates of this county had done such evil things.
While suppressing the rebels, he never sent news to the capital.
I heard that it is still very closely related to the county magistrate of that county.
It's just that because those county orders have been captured by Chen Mu, they haven't inquired about the city from the county orders for a while.
"I have secretly captured the county orders of these cities, and asked my men to disguise themselves as those county orders and hide in their mansions."
"But I guess this disguise won't be covered up for long, and it won't be long before they will be discovered."
"Whether it's the family in the capital or General Zhang, those lieutenant generals and junior generals under you, by the way, where are their military camps stationed?"
Seeing Chen Mu ask like this, General Zhang immediately told Chen Mu the location of the military camp.
When Chen Mu heard this, he nodded clearly, he thought about it for a while, and was ready to let his secret guards do it, and control those lieutenant generals first.
They have troops in their hands, and although they have not yet joined forces with the border garrisons, they are also a good force.
"Capture the thief and capture the king first, first capture those lieutenant generals and young generals, control the military camp, and then release all the rebel troops."
Chen Mu gave an order to Lord Ye, and when Lord Ye and many secret guards heard this, they immediately nodded in response.
The plan was advanced, and General Zhang asked for orders to go with him.
He was familiar with the military camp and those lieutenant generals, Chen Mu saw this, he didn't stop him, he nodded and made peace, and waved his hand at Lord Ye and the others.
Lord Ye and the others rushed to the direction of the military camp overnight with General Zhang, preparing to control the military camp as soon as possible.
Chen Mu only left three or two guards by his side, Chen Mu turned his head and glanced out the window, in this bitter cold place on the border, the moonlight of the bright moon was quite bright.
Chen Mu asked people to push the window open, allowing the moonlight to pour into the room.
In order to avoid being discovered by the spies in the city, the rebels hiding in the city have long been accustomed to living in the dark.
Now noticing Chen Mu's movements, the rebel general was silent for a moment and said.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince bothered about our uprising, and we were also forced to be helpless."
