When the two marshals of the Southern Tang Dynasty were discussing the issue of sending troops in the camp, the atmosphere in the camp of the Zhennan Army five miles away was also gloomy.

The 100,000 Zhennan Army stationed outside Hezhou City, and now the nominal commander is naturally Li Zhenggu, the privy deputy envoy and the secretary of the military department, but how could Song Majie, who is the deputy envoy of the Zhennan Army, really take him seriously?

As the nephew of Song Qiqiu, the Duke of Weiguo, and was appointed by Song Qiqiu as the deputy envoy of the festival last year, which means the heir, and now the prosperous Song Maha is naturally the real master of the Zhennan Army, in his opinion, not to mention what Li Zhenggu's identity is, in the end, it is just a dog supported by his own family, how can he usurp the position of the master?

Therefore, since Li Zhenggu came to the Zhennan Army, he has actually lived a very aggrieved life, which can be seen from the scale of his camp with Song Mojie. Commander Li Zhenggu said that near the tent, only 5,000 soldiers and horses were stationed in a corner of the camp as the Chinese army, on the other hand, the former camp of the deputy marshal Song Majie had 53,000 soldiers and horses around it, and set up seven or eight defensive fortresses for several miles in a row, which can be described as impregnable and extremely safe.

Since receiving the decree from the imperial court on January 28, it is full of words from the emperor to ask for guilt, and I heard that Li Yuan, the first general of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Li Hongji, the king of Yan, are leading an army of 200,000 troops to "quell the rebellion", and the camp of the Zhennan army is already panicked.

The ordinary soldiers in the army all want to break their brains and can't figure it out, they are obviously ordered to go north to conquer the Zhou State, and they have long been ready to be ashamed of the Tang Dynasty by practicing every day, not to mention whether they can become heroes of the dynasty, but why did they become sinners of rebellion overnight?

While the soldiers of the Zhennan Army were surprised, the most surprised and unexpected was naturally Li Zhenggu, who was the commander-in-chief.

Just because the emperor unceremoniously named Li Zhenggu's name in the decree, which means the rebellious mastermind, and mentioned what he sent, his words were rebellious and his heart could be punished, Li Zhenggu was completely confused, and even suddenly thought that he had been drinking and having fun in the handsome tent recently.

Thinking about it, Li Zhenggu panicked, but he didn't feel wronged and frightened because of the emperor's will, let alone whether the fatal letter was really from his own hands, and now he really couldn't figure out why the emperor who had been in a daze for many days suddenly became enlightened, and he really saw through his plan early.

It is true that Li Zhenggu and Song Qiqiu's uncle and nephew, together with Wei Cen, the privy envoy who is now trapped in Jinling City, came on this trip to rebel. As for the people who know the truth in the camp of the southern army in this town, they are naturally the generals who command the troops, and the soldiers only know how to receive salaries and food, and they don't know what to do at all.

The plan originally proposed by Song Qiqiu was that in the name of the Northern Expedition, the 100,000 Zhennan Army could be justified and able to go up the river, and when passing through the national capital Jinling, they would come to destroy the Qing monarch on a false way, plus Wei Cen was in the center to control the Beiyuan Forbidden Army. After that, he supported Li Congjia, the king of Zheng, to ascend to the throne, and set the world, as a minister from the dragon to the clouds......

The plan was perfect, but it couldn't keep up with the changes. Now the Emperor's will, along with the upcoming 200,000 forbidden troops, has declared their plans bankrupt.

And the most fatal thing is that at this time, the 100,000 Zhennan army is in an extremely dangerous situation, with Hezhou Jiancheng in front of it, and it has to face twice the army led by the current general, so naturally it is not possible to rush into the army. And it seems that it is extremely difficult to retreat, it is difficult to take waterways and rivers to freeze boats, and it is inevitable that the land route will pass through the rest of the states and counties of the Southern Tang Dynasty, you must know that the will of the Zhennan army to rebel is probably spreading to all parts of the south of the Yangtze River, and how can the envoys and assassins from all over the country let them pass easily?

What is despair, that is, there is no confidence in even the fish to die and the net is broken, this is the real dead end.

In the cold weather, Song Majie's heart was also like falling into an ice cellar, since he led the army to this deserted garrison outside Hezhou City, he had nothing to do in this gray and tasteless camp every day, and for nearly ten days he and the generals also hid in their respective tents to roast and drink, extremely boring.

The only belief that supports him to persist is the good wish to change the situation in Jinling in the future, and as the heir of Wei Guogong, he has a bright future.

But at this time, the wish has obviously been shattered, let alone the future, and the way back seems to be broken.

Song Majie, who was furious, immediately ordered someone to control Li Zhenggu, who was the culprit in his opinion, originally Song Majie extremely disdainful of Li Zhenggu Yang Fengyin and violating the fox and fake tiger power, but he never expected this product to be so stupid, since ancient times, how could there be a plot to rebel and send a notice to the emperor in advance, and such a pig teammate is also extremely unlucky.

So Li Zhenggu, who fell into the six gods and no master, had not yet figured it out, just lay down and was about to sort out his thoughts, when he closed his eyes for less than a moment, he suddenly felt a gust of cold wind on his body, and when he opened his eyes, he saw more than ten angry and heavily armed soldiers directly opened their quilts, and pulled them out of the camp tent by their collars.

Li Zhenggu originally subconsciously wanted to reprimand and resist, but the soldiers of the Zhennan Army did not give him any chance, and directly knocked out and dragged away with the back of the knife, which is estimated to be an extremely rare scene in the army......

As for Xiao Yan, the envoy of the supervising army, he was originally the emperor's confidant, at this time he learned that Li Zhenggu and the Zhennan army intended to rebel, and at the same time, he was extremely surprised, and his heart was obviously more angry, and after thinking about it again, he put on the purple robe given by the emperor, and wrote a farewell letter with sad words by grinding ink with his own hands, and then strode out of the tent, preparing to go to Song Majie and Li Zhenggu to make a replacent statement to rebuke the traitor, and then bravely go to the scene of farewell to the saint.

As a result, it was a coincidence that he happened to bump into Li Zhenggu's miserable scene halfway through, Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, swallowed his saliva while unable to figure it out, and then turned around and left, without saying a word, after returning to the camp, he trembled and poured himself a glass of warm wine, and finally tore the farewell letter that had been conceived for a long time into snowflakes......

The chaotic day passed quickly, the sky was nearly dark, outside the camp of the southern army of Zhennan, a team of cavalry wearing the armor of the forbidden army arrived at the north camp gate in the dark twilight, and now the situation was very serious, the soldiers naturally did not dare to open the door, and finally took the letter shot by the other party with arrows to report.

Song Majie ordered the soldiers to torture Li Zhenggu for a long time in the stable today, not to mention that Li Zhenggu was no longer human, and even his arm holding the leather whip was sore, at this time he was drinking and talking with Qian Wenfeng, a strategist in the army, and Jiang Kai, a general, in the camp tent, and called three military prostitutes in the camp to accompany him to pour wine and sing, and he was full of spring between touching and pinching, so as to soothe his extremely gloomy mood.

After the letter was delivered, Qian Wenfeng was stunned when he opened the letter, and immediately handed the letter to Song Mojie to read, Song Mojie took out the letter paper in the envelope, and when he saw the content on it, he immediately pushed away the military prostitutes who were giggling and drinking coquettishly, and then Qian Wenfeng also scolded them to withdraw from the camp.

After the three military prostitutes reluctantly left, Song Majie said in a low voice: "Wenfeng, quickly go and send an order to invite them into the tent." ”

Qian Wenfeng gave up his promise and got up, and the general Jiang Kai was half drunk, and he was surprised because the woman next to him was retreated, and at this time, he knew that something was wrong, so he hurriedly got up and sat up straight and asked respectfully: "Young marshal, what happened?" ”

Song Majie handed the letter to Jiang Kai and said, "Take a look." ”

Jiang Kai glanced at it and said stunned: "Isn't this the seal letter of King Zheng's mansion?" Could it be that His Royal Highness King Zheng has come down here? ”
