In the valley east of the camp of the Zhennan Army, 60,000 Zhennan troops were ordered to pull out, except for a small part of the camp left behind, the rest of the soldiers and horses all marched lightly and drove to the valley mouth one after another. This time it was led by Lin Renzhao, Zhu Bosong was the deputy, and Zhu Lingyun stayed in the camp because his injuries did not heal, so he could not come with the army in person.

Soon, 60,000 soldiers lined up in front of this "death" valley that had left countless corpses of their comrades, and looking at the steep stone wall moat overhead, many soldiers couldn't help but feel uneasy in their hearts, not to mention that they were just small soldiers who were just going to be soldiers and eat food, even Lin Renzhao, who was the leader, couldn't help but squint and observe the surrounding natural dangers, as long as a few teams of crossbowmen were arranged on the stone wall at will, even if you were a natural general, it would be difficult to get out of danger.

And what made them panic the most was that including Lin Renzhao and Zhu Bosong, these 60,000 soldiers of the Zhennan Army from top to bottom, now all of them are bare-handed, and their armor is out of their bodies, this kind of feeling is tantamount to "meat and please surrender" and waiting for people to fall is really bad, but this is the meaning of the imperial court after all, and the Zhennan Army is rebellious after all, resulting in little trust between the two sides, which is really powerless to refute.

Having said that, who wants to experience this feeling of powerlessness like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered?

Since the end of the war, six or seven days to the Zhennan army marshal's tent in the consultation continued, all the generals who led the troops, including Zhu Lingyun on the sickbed are waiting for the forbidden army to come, but they are confused, the rebel leader Song Maha has been taken, the army has been controlled, this absurd rebellion has ended, all the soldiers now have the only faith left in their hearts is the word home, what is the court hesitating about? Could it be that the imperial court can't trust them after all?

Just when the generals were at a loss, most of the ordinary soldiers were also at a loss. It is the harsh winter season, and the army has been trapped here for many days, now that the war is over, how long will they stay in this wilderness? In fact, the supplies and grain were already stretched thin, and a lot of baggage was burned in the camp that night after the battle, and all kinds of unfavorable scenes, coupled with the soldiers' fear of the future fate, soon made the morale of the army fall to a low point.

Fortunately, the 5,000 soldiers and horses in the water camp were trained by Zhu Lingyun, and they were still stable. Lin Renzhao, the god of killing, can still control most of the soldiers of the Zhennan Army, and the situation has not changed out of control. But in addition to the 5,000 soldiers and horses in the water military camp, in the final analysis, the rest of the more than 50,000 soldiers and horses were all under the command of Song Majie in the past.

However, just when the riot was about to appear, Zhu Bosong and others finally returned with the messenger of His Royal Highness King Yan, but it was like a great drought and rain, and stopped the signs of mutiny in the army in time, but the credible envoy asked the army to leave the camp the next day, and all the soldiers took off their armor and blades, and went to the valley mouth to wait for the imperial court to receive it, which made Zhu Lingyun and others puzzled, followed by a large area of uneasiness and restlessness.

Surrender is inevitable, and abandonment is acceptable, but why did the place choose in that very treacherous valley?

......

Six days ago, on the evening of Zhu Lingyun's son Zhu Bosong, who arrived at the camp of the forbidden army, Li Yuan immediately convened the generals in the tent to preside over the military meeting.

It is true that as the generalissimo of the counterinsurgency army, Li Yuan can make a decision in one word, and his analysis of the current situation is also very clear, what Zhu Bosong said will never be false, just because he is the son of Zhu Lingyun, Zhu Lingyun! What a singing and crying scene left by this loyal and strong father and son in the history books! This time, he dared to break several times the enemy with a small number of troops, how can such an amazing general not be admired!

After the ecstasy, Li Yuan was naturally emotional, you must know how many times he has had disputes with Li Hongji, the king of Yan, over the matter of sending troops in recent days, and what he is thinking about is that the war will end as soon as possible and return to Chu as soon as possible, and he can't wait to follow Zhu Bosong to the Zhennan army camp in person now, but he must invite Li Hongji and the generals to be present and go through the process in the form of a military meeting, after all, this army under his command is not his own Wuping army, especially His Royal Highness the King of Yan, the prince can represent the heavenly family, and he can't help but ask for his consent.

In the tent, Li Hongji, the king of Yan, leaned on the chair quietly, stretched out his white hands and roasted on the brazier, his eyes narrowed, and he quietly listened to Zhu Bosong's bitter explanation.

Zhu Bosong has inherited his father's style of a general very well, and he is not timid at all in the big tent where the generals gather, and he finally thinks that he has analyzed the situation very clearly, and then respectfully expresses his loyalty and says: "Your Highness, the above is the process of this battle, the traitor Song Maha and his generals are all captured, and my father and Lin Shuai have also reorganized the 60,000 soldiers of the Zhennan Army, just waiting for the imperial court to receive it as soon as possible to calm the army's heart!"

Your Royal Highness, this time the Song thieves coerced the army to make a rebellion, the crime was extremely evil, most of the soldiers were actually kept in the dark by him, fortunately, Your Majesty's benevolence and God bless me Datang, and my water military camp can be put in order in time, I ask Your Highness, can explain this situation to Your Majesty, my Zhennan Army is loyal to Your Majesty......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Li Hongji snort coldly, and interrupted with a deep face: "Fix the chaos? So after all, these are the four words you're here to say tonight. So that this king can intercede in front of your father for you, so as to avoid the great crime of rebellion, hehe, do you think this king is easy to deceive? Is this the end of the day?

This king might as well tell you, just behind this big camp, a few days ago he and the state assassin Shi Hu Ze started a rebellion, even if he cut himself, the corpse was also misdivided, and the rebel army under his command was also removed, and at this moment he was still on the way to Jinling to ask for guilt and wait for death in the wind and snow! But compared to you, they are just a small fight, and your Zhennan Army is more charged than them! Litong heavy ministers, raise the army, enter the capital, what a big dog! ......”

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Bosong's face changed color instantly, even if he told himself to be calm in his heart, it was difficult to pretend at the moment, and his whole body couldn't help but start trembling, and seeing that the atmosphere in the tent suddenly fell into anxiety, the faces of all the generals were a little ugly, and Li Yuan, who was sitting on the handsome position, couldn't help it, and hurriedly echoed: "Your Highness, the Zhu family has always been loyal to the imperial court, and the first emperor often praised his father for his loyalty and bravery. Even if there is a great sin before, this section alone can be regarded as a merit and demerit! At present, let's not talk about the issue of merit and punishment, Zhu Bosong said that the matter of taking over the Zhennan Army should be the top priority, and it is better to stabilize the morale of the army first. ”

Seeing that Li Yuan spoke, Li Hongji was a little resentful in his heart, but he still suppressed it in time, and then said coldly: "Oh? Why did the generalissimo believe this son so much? Today is no better than in the past, this is a felony of rebellion!

The first emperor did praise that Zhu Lingyun, but so what? Just talking about the traitor Song Majie, how much did the court and the central government praise him before, and what about it now? The rebellious ministers and thieves live up to the grace of the saints, and they should be broken into thousands of pieces! If this son harbors evil intentions, my forbidden army rushes forward, and how will it end up in an ambush? ”

Hearing this, Li Yuan almost didn't vomit blood, and couldn't help but scold a few words in his heart, it was really difficult to restrain himself, now that the war is clearly over, what kind of moth is this His Royal Highness King Yan going to do?

But having said that, thinking about it from Li Hongji's point of view, it is indeed appropriate to be cautious as a leader of the troops, after all, he Li Hongji is not like himself, and he can "predict the prophet" The loyalty and good temperament of the Zhu family's father and son, so I can understand a little bit when I think about it.
