On the tenth day of August, Wang Pu, the former general of Datong, attacked and killed Zhang Tianlin, a veteran of the Dashun army, and betrayed Li Zicheng.

This news soon spread to the Northeast Liaoning Route Army heading to Datong.

Hong Chengchou unfolded the secret letter and glanced at it, and frowned.

While handing the secret letter to Meng Qiaofang beside him, he said, "How can this be reasonable, this Wang Pu has started a big dream in the Spring and Autumn Period!"

"Could it be His Highness's secret order to wait for the opportunity to seize Datong, just like the situation we encountered in Jizhen."

Meng Qiaofang read the secret letter and guessed boldly.

"Impossible." Huo Weihua shook his head, "If His Highness has such an arrangement, he will definitely tell us in advance."

Hong Chengchou had just joined the Liaodong Army and did not express his opinion.

But he agrees with Huo Weihua: "Wang Pu is very cowardly on the surface, but in fact he is a very ambitious military leader, like Tian Chenghe."

"Your Highness has taught us not to guess our own people for no reason. We salute first and then soldiers, and we still have half a day's journey to Datong, so we can send someone to inform Wang Pu first and see what his reaction is."

Meng Qiaofang proposed a way and looked at Hong Chengchou.

After all, the nominal commander of the Northern Route Army is the five provinces through the strategy of Hong Chengchou.

Hong Chengchou nodded, and then added: "Write a secret letter to Your Highness, and explain the situation here first. Let's write again that we had no choice but to kill Wang Pu first and control the Datong soldiers as a last resort."

"No, it's not too late to report the situation to His Highness in detail after the matter is resolved."

Meng Qiaofang said, "Your Highness has already instructed that you will not be subject to the orders of the monarch outside, and if you can't even improvise, Your Highness will be angry."

Hong Chengchou nodded thoughtfully.

In front of them, columns of soldiers marched neatly and with high morale.

Datong, the general military office.

Before Wang Pu's ass was hot, he met with the envoy of the North Route Army of the Liaodong Army.

He didn't dare to let the generals of Datong know, so he chose to meet in private.

Facing the envoy, he promised that when the Liaodong army approached the city, the city would be opened immediately.

The messenger left satisfied.

Sending the messenger away, Wang Pu's first thought was to discuss with Jiang Hao, and quickly retracted his thoughts.

Because Jiang Hao is too bold, he may take the opportunity to replace him.

The second thing that comes to mind is Wang Jinchao, his own relatives.

However, Wang Pu retracted his thoughts again, and Wang Jinchao was timid.

In addition, there is a son-in-law who served as a general in Uriya Sutai, and he is definitely unwilling.

After thinking about it, Wang Pu came up with a poisonous plan.

General Master Wang convened the generals of each battalion to discuss the matter of returning to the Liaodong Army. Look at the book

Most of the generals who received this news were not suspicious.

After all, it was at the behest of His Highness that he took the initiative to surrender to the thieves.

Probably only the Jiang brothers have doubts about this matter.

"The wind is not in the right direction, we have to be careful." Jiang Hao said.

"Big brother, maybe Master Wang has changed his mind and will no longer cage the city for the enemy." Jiang Xuan was a little optimistic.

Jiang Hao sneered: "If Master Wang is really like this, he is not Wang Pu!" Eighty percent of them have poisonous intentions and designs to harm us."

"Hongmen Banquet, let's not go to the banquet." Jiang Xuan reacted.

"No, that would give Master Wang an excuse to kill us."

Jiang Hao shook his head, then thought for a while, and then said, "In this way, you lead the soldiers to wait outside, send someone to keep an eye on the General Soldier's Mansion, and if you find that the situation is wrong, hurry up and come to the rescue."

"I'm not here, okay?"

"I can't take care of it or not, I reasoned that you are sick, and only when you have soldiers in your hands can you have the capital to turn over."

"Got it."

Jiang Xuan said goodbye to Jiang Xuan, led several personal soldiers, and cautiously went to the General Soldier's Mansion.

By the time he arrived, there were already quite a few generals in the General Army's Mansion.

When they saw Jiang Hao coming, they got up one after another to say hello.

was chatting lively, when I saw Wang Pu walking in from the inner hall.

"Meet Master Wang."

"They are all their own brothers, so they don't need to be polite. Sit! Sit down!"

"Thank you, sir."

After the generals sat down, Wang Pucai said, "Gather everyone here today, just for one thing, to submit to His Royal Highness the King of Zhou."

He paused deliberately, trying to test the reaction of all parties.

It's a pity that he was disappointed, and the generals all showed support when they heard that they were about to return to the Liaodong Army.

Only Jiang Xuan's complexion remained unchanged.

Wang Pu said with a cold face: "I did think about submitting to Yang Chengying before, but after seeing what he has done recently, I don't dare to agree.

As you all know, it was Yang Chengying who instructed me to take the initiative to surrender to the thieves, so that the thieves could enter the Beijing Division smoothly.

I thought that Yang Chengying was the savior of the world, but after he entered Beijing, his murderous appearance was revealed. Brutally killed many important ministers in the DPRK and China, and canceled the Ming Xuanfu, Jizhen and other guards, and the next step is us.

Are you willing to be co-opted and then leave your homeland and work for him?

Even if it is absorbed, it must be reorganized and some soldiers will be eliminated. A regimental training camp was set up, and all recruits were sent out of the regimental training camp.

Are you willing to be restrained from now on, and have no great future?"

Sentence by sentence seemed to be very reasonable, so that some generals who had a supportive attitude were provoked and shaken by his words.

"Master Wang, you have to think twice!"

The person who persuaded Wang Pu was none other than Wang Jinchao.

"Oh, what do you think?" Wang Pu was displeased.

"I don't dare to do it, the last general is just telling the truth. There is the Liaodong Army outside the Cypriot Islands, and they also have powerful heavy artillery, and if we rebel, the end will not be good."

Wang Jinchao persuaded bitterly, "Even if you are accidentally laid off, your family has a field and extra silver, which can provide you with food and clothing for your life, so why bother to bury your life."

Hearing this, some wavering generals nodded in agreement.

Wang Pu was annoyed: "Wang Jinchao! You have no regard for the good of your brothers, and you have bad intentions!"

"The last general has no such intentions."

"Less fart! I think you were bribed by Yang Chengying, and you deliberately bewitched the public here. Come, take the king down and cut him down."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar.

The generals got up one after another and interceded for Wang Jinchao.

They thought that Wang Pu was just scareping, but unexpectedly, Wang Pu's personal soldiers stepped forward and really detained Wang Jinchao.

Wang Jinchao was tied with his hands behind his back, and he was so angry that he scolded: "Wang Pu! You're going to take your brothers into a place from which you can't recover!"

"Pull it down, cut it!"

Wang Pu slapped the table, and his soldiers dragged Wang Jinchao out.

Jiang Hao suddenly said, "What a sound!" The left hand is subconsciously placed on the hilt.

It turned out to be a soldier lurking around, thinking that the boss was going to make a move, so he moved. The weapon in his hand touched the wall and made a sonorous sound.

Although the voice was very small, it was still heard by Jiang Xuan, the veteran general of the battlefield.

Wang Pu couldn't hide it anymore, so he said, "Brothers, I have spoken out today. If you follow me to honor the great son of heaven and restore the mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty, he will be crowned with an official and a knight, and he will be crowned a wife and a son."

The generals listened with bated breath.

"If you don't agree, don't blame Wang for being ruthless." A cold light flashed in front of Wang Pu's eyes.

Many generals who held the handle of the knife loosened the handle.

Wang Jinchao was pushed out by his own soldiers and walked outside.

Seeing that he was about to walk out of the courtyard, Jiang Hao suddenly attacked, attacked from behind, and hacked to death the soldiers who escorted Wang Jinchao with two knives.

"Jiang Xuan, what are you doing?" Wang Pu was furious.

Jiang Hao went out: "Wang Pu, I will never agree to rebel against His Royal Highness King Zhou with you."
