Chapter 663: Choice, Action
Watching the three of them leave, Jia Cong looked at the generals below.
It happened so suddenly that he was a little caught off guard.
For a while, I didn't know where to go.
Is it to return to Liaodong and break with the imperial court? Or continue to go to the capital and ask the emperor for a clear understanding.
Now that the holy decree is in front of him, if the emperor doesn't know, Jia Cong won't believe it.
Even if he returned to the capital and questioned him face to face, it was impossible for the emperor to admit it.
Or, just find a scapegoat to quench your anger.
If you really do that, the two sides will tear their faces.
Then, there will be no good results for yourself in the future.
It's okay to say that if you're there, once you're gone, future generations are likely to be liquidated.
But it's impossible to pretend not to know about such a big thing.
If he returns to Liaodong, it will be disobedient, and it is estimated that all the dirty water will be splashed on his head.
In the eyes of the world, he is disrespectful, unfaithful, unjust, rebellious, and a traitor spurned by everyone.
Although I have prepared a lot of backhands for this day.
However, when this day really came, my heart was very hesitant and it was difficult to make a decision.
Jia Cong sat weakly on the handsome chair, and there was a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
There was silence in the big tent, and the generals below were also in a worried mood, waiting for Jia Cong's final decision.
Jia Cong's gaze swept to the people below again.
At the moment, these people, although they only remember to provide them, cannot all follow them sincerely.
It's okay to let them get some benefits, but if they really rebel and pull them into the chariot, it is estimated that eighty percent of them are unwilling to follow them.
At present, the first thing to do is to grasp the military power and firmly grasp the 200,000 army in our hands. Whatever you decide, pull these people into your chariot.
Only in this way, whether it is advancing or retreating, will you have a greater certainty.
Even if you go to the capital, with these people in hand, you will be more calm.
Thinking of this, Jia Cong spoke again.
"Generals, you all know the matter, how do you say this commander should choose?"
When the generals heard this, they looked at each other, but not one of them spoke.
Although Jia Cong can fight, it is not bad for himself and others, and they are more willing to fight with Jia Cong, because it is safer, easier to obtain military merits, and get more benefits.
This does not mean that they are willing to follow Jia Cong to rebel if they don't do a good day.
Although they don't dare to rebel against Jia Cong now, they won't take the initiative to rebel.
Seeing that no one spoke, Jia Cong sighed in his heart.
In that case, there is no need to ask for their opinions.
"Ladies and gentlemen, since his debut, he has fought for the imperial court for nearly ten years, galloping across the battlefield, being born and dying, and is even more loyal to the court and the emperor, without half a point of dissent, but today he was ambushed by the seizure of power, which is really chilling.
Ben Shuai didn't know who did this, but Ben Shuai had to find out who was looking forward to my death and who wanted to harm me, so Ben Shuai decided to continue to return to Beijing and ask the emperor in person to find out clearly."
"Marshal, maybe this is a personal act of some people who make their own decisions, and it has nothing to do with Your Majesty."
"Yes, Dashuai, this thing is weird, let's figure it out first."
"Dashuai, we can all testify for Dashuai, Dashuai still needs to think twice."
"Yes, Dashuai, if you really take that step, there will be no turning back."
······
Jia Cong waved his hand to interrupt the generals, and the scene fell silent again.
"The people will listen to the command."
"The end will be."
"Passing on the military order of the marshal, the army will immediately set off and rush to the capital, and no one shall be allowed during this period
Whoever leaves the team without permission will be killed."
"The last general commands."
Everyone's hearts tightened, and they hurriedly took the military order.
Jia Cong said: "You also know Ben Shuai's temper, don't complain that Ben Shuai didn't remind you, if one of your subordinates goes missing, it will be equivalent to a crime, don't say anything unprepared."
The generals glanced at each other and gave their hands together.
"Obey the orders of the commander."
Looking at the back of the generals leaving, Qingwen said with some worry.
"Dashuai, wouldn't it be a little dangerous to go to the capital again at this time? Besides, how many of those people just now are reliable? If they stab us in the back, won't they catch us off guard?"
Qiu Ju said: "Yes, the families of these people, some of them are in the capital, some are in other places, and they are not in Liaodong, they can't really follow the handsome, the handsome must be mentally prepared."
Jia Cong nodded: "What you said is right, it is indeed dangerous to go to the capital here, but we can't not go, otherwise it will be disobedience and disobedience, and all the faults will be pushed on us."
As for the attitude of these generals, I also clearly understand in my heart, but this is not a big deal, as long as the military power is still in my hands, they will be controlled by me, and when the time comes, even if it is coercion, they will be pulled into the chariot. If you really dare to disobey, you can only do it."
Dongmei said: "Dashuai, if we really want to go back to the capital, it's better to arrange it in advance."
Jia Cong thought about it and didn't refuse.
By making some arrangements in advance, you can be prepared.
"Qingwen, you arrange for someone to rush back to Liaodong, inform Tie Zhu, let him take care of the palace, keep an eye on Shi Nai, pay attention to the strangers who come into contact with him, beware of them being unfavorable to the palace, and bring twenty special combat team members back to the capital to make peace with us."
"I am arranging people to go to the capital all the way, inform Erya, and let her order Ben Shuai to return to Beijing, and the matter of being ambushed and ambushed halfway will be publicized in the capital, and it is best to make it known to everyone."
"In addition, let Erya be ready to evacuate at any time, and then go to Zhuangzi to prepare a batch of grenadiers and grenades for backup, in case of the worst."
"Yes, my subordinates will arrange it."
Qingwen agreed, turned around and walked out of the big tent.
Qiu Ju said, "Dashuai, the craftsman on the Zhuangzi, do you want to evacuate in advance?"
Jia Cong shook his head: "No, when the time comes, just take away the main craftsmen, the arsenal will be blown up directly, everyone else is a worker, and the imperial court will not do anything to them." Telling them in advance will make people panic, and there is no need for that."
At this time, Wang Er, the captain of the pro-soldiers, walked in.
"Back to the marshal, those two people have already recruited, they said that this holy decree is true, it was arranged for them by Wang Bao, the governor of the inner city, and the holy decree was also given to them by Wang Bao, for the thief who ambushed the marshal halfway, they said they didn't know."
"Oh, are you sure they're telling the truth?"
"Dashuai, it should be eight or nine or ten, the two were interrogated separately, and they were both sentenced to heavy punishment, so it doesn't look like a lie."
Wang Bao, Jia Cong knows,
At the beginning, he cleaned up Dai Quan and arrested Chan'er and Tianci, and he sent someone to solve the matter.
It is also because of this that I have a holiday with him.
originally wanted to kill him directly, but for fear of upsetting the new emperor, he didn't let Li Biao and them do it.
Instead, he entrusted the Queen Mother to help him get rid of him.
It's a pity that the Queen Mother did not fulfill her commission.
It is Wang Bao who comes forward, which is equivalent to the emperor coming forward.
"Got it, take them with you and go back to Beijing together."
"Yes, my subordinates obey."
The army set off again, all the way to the capital.
······
Li Biao, Xie Qiong, and Zheng Huaicheng rushed to the place of the accident, and there was no one here.
Even the dead bodies are gone.
It should be afraid of being discovered, straight
Took it away.
The three of them walked around the neighborhood and found nothing.
Xie Qiong said, "These bastards are going fast, Brother Li Biao, what should we do now?"
Li Biao pondered for a while, and then said: "Two generals, the marshal asked us to find out the whereabouts of those people, and now we can only scatter and investigate, the three of us are divided into three roads, one to the east, one to the west, and one to the south, to find the traces of those people, I hope to gain something, what do the two generals think?"
"Okay, just do as Brother Li Biao said, I'll go to the east."
"Then I'll go west and find out,"
"Then I'll go south and have a look."
The three determined the direction and left with a detachment of cavalry.
Half a day later, the three of them did not catch up with anyone, but they found some clues.
After touching the melon, he finally found out the whereabouts of the gang of thieves.
They are none other than the defenders of Jizhou.
After all, more than 10,000 people marched, which was too many to hide.
The three of them went to the surrounding villages and towns to ask, and they asked about their traces.
It's embarrassing if you can't find out, and it's even more embarrassing if you find out.
After all, it was the defenders of a continent, and if they attacked Jizhou directly, it would be a rebellion.
Li Biao doesn't care, it doesn't mean that Xie Qiong and Zheng Huaicheng don't care, their families are still in the capital.
If they really do that, their families in the capital will be affected.
Zheng Huaicheng said, "Brother Li Biao, what should I do now? Do you want to go back and ask the handsome? It would be a great crime for us to attack the state capital without authorization, and the commander will not be able to shirk it at that time."
Xie Qiong also said: "Lao Zheng is right, this matter is not a trivial matter, Brother Li Biao, I think it is better to report to the marshal first, let the marshal decide, what do you think?"
Seeing that both of them said this, Li Biao also understood their hardships.
After thinking about it, I nodded in agreement.
"Okay, just listen to the two generals, let's go back and report to the marshal, and let the marshal decide."
After the three of them agreed on the same opinion, they rode back and joined Jia Cong.
The day tossed down, and it was also evening.
The army camped on the spot and buried the pot to cook.
After Jia Cong heard the report of the three people, he did not dwell on it anymore, nor did he listen to the advice of others.
The order was directly given, and early the next morning, the troops sent to Jizhou.
At the same time, it was ordered to block the entrance to the camp and prohibit anyone from leaving the camp.
After the generals returned, they were all in different moods.
Those who are ambitious are happy in their hearts, as long as they hold Jia Cong's thighs, the future is bright.
Once Jia Cong's rebellion succeeds, they may be able to mix up as the founding heroes.
Even if it is not good, if you follow Jia Cong back to Liaodong, life will not be sad.
Besides, for now, there is really no one who can beat Jia Cong, and with Jia Cong, the future will be brighter.
But most people are uneasy.
is worried that Jia Cong's behavior will affect them and their families.
No matter what they thought, Jia Cong ordered, and it was impossible to turn back.
Early the next morning, the army set off and headed straight for Jizhou.
······
In the Jizhou County Government, several people were gathering together with sad faces.
"Guys, what now? Jia Cong's men have already discovered us, and our spies have reported that Jia Cong's cavalry has appeared around, and they must have found out that we did it."
"Hey, I told you to be careful, be careful, but none of you listened, and now it's too late to say anything."
"Grass, so many people are moving, and if no one is discovered, then there are ghosts."
"That's it, so many people act, even if you are careful, you can't avoid people, it's all at this time, it's *** an afterthought, I still want to
Think about what to do with Jia Cong next."
"Don't worry too much, listen to the report of the horse, those cavalry have retreated, after all, we are the garrison of the state capital, and we attack the state capital without authorization, it is undoubtedly a rebellion, it is impossible for Jia Cong not to know this."
"It's hard to say, I heard that Jia Cong is a person, and he will be revenged, so let's think about how to get out."
"In fact, Jia Cong doesn't have any real evidence to prove that we did it, without evidence, we won't admit it, and he can't do it, and when someone from above speaks for us, it will definitely be over."
"There's some truth to that. However, Jia Cong has always been uneasy to play cards with common sense, and these rules are difficult to restrain him, and it is a point that we do it, and it is possible that they will really attack us."
"Let's put the army on guard first, be ready to meet the enemy at any time, it's best if Jia Cong doesn't come, if you really want to come, you can't stand it, let's run away, everyone prepare in advance."
"Well, that's all there is to it."
·······
At the same time, the iron pillar of Liaoyang received the news.
Twenty special combat personnel were arranged, and they went south overnight, and they also began to be arranged in Liaoyang.
The master's family is all in Liaoyang, and if something really happens, he won't have the face to see the master.
Therefore, all hidden dangers must be stifled in advance to ensure that there will be no accidents.
Finding the crescent moon, the two connected the information.
Mark those who have been more active and jumpy lately.
These people have not been very peaceful, although they have not explicitly opposed Jia Cong, but they have been secretly making small moves.
Lobbying and wooing some people with the same mind are secretly preparing to deal with Jia Cong's tricks.
Although Jia Cong knew, but they didn't move, Jia Cong couldn't move them.
Now that such a thing has happened, Jia Cong is not in Liaoyang, if the imperial court really wants to deal with Jia Cong, it will definitely send someone to Liaoyang.
At that time, these people may really jump out and make trouble.
Tie Zhu didn't dare to bet that they would keep to themselves, and there was no choice but to start in advance.
Overnight, in the entire Liaoyang City, there were more than a dozen squires who died quietly in their own homes.
The next day, seventy or eighty people died one after another in various parts of Liaodong.
The entire Liaodong, in an instant, began to make noise.
