Chapter 374: Ambition (2)
There are strict rules for the dispatch of large armies. For example, Xu Jing is the main general, and the men and horses of the battalion must be all present.
However, there were many soldiers in the barracks, and they did not know each other. Wearing the same clothes, who can recognize who Peng Si is?
Xu Jing led 10,000 people to suppress bandits, each with two horses, and there were 3,000 auxiliary soldiers responsible for transporting the baggage. With so many people, can they still fail to count points one by one?
Murong Ke was overwhelmed by the anger and nodded without thinking.
When Peng Si really had to leave, Murong Ke calmed down and sobered up, and it was too late to call Peng Si back.
Counting the pro-soldiers, there were nine people who left with Peng Si. There are ten in total, all of them are the elite of the pro-soldiers, and they are all the people given to him by his brother Murong Shen.
A vague thought flashed through Murong Ke's mind, and his heart jumped suddenly, and a strong bad premonition suddenly surged up.
Murong Ke called a personal soldier to come: "Peng Si, how long have they been gone?"
The soldier replied, "Back to the second son, Peng Si and they have been gone for more than an hour."
"Send someone to chase after you immediately," Murong Ke's confused mind suddenly brightened, "Take them all back to the barracks."
The soldiers took the order and left.
The army marches, and the speed is not too fast. Fast horses chase after it, and you can catch up in half a day at most.
We must stop them all while Peng Si and the others haven't made a move.
The eldest brother, Murong Shen, was carried away by jealousy, and actually had the idea of assassinating Xu Jing. Regardless of whether this matter is successful or not, once the traces are revealed, the Murong clan will fall into a serious crime of assassinating the prince of the vassal king......
No, we must chase Peng Si and them back.
Murong Ke was like an ant on a hot pot, spinning around. It wasn't until it was dark that the soldiers sent out came back dejectedly.
"What about Peng Si and the others?" Murong Ke held back his anger and asked.
The soldiers knelt down and pleaded guilty: "The small ones caught up with the big army, but Peng Si and they didn't know where they went, and we couldn't find any trace of them."
Murong Ke's face was extremely ugly, and he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words: "I'll go find them personally."
The soldiers were taken aback, and they all spoke out to stop them: "The second son is a lieutenant colonel, how can he leave the barracks without a military order."
"Yes, once discovered, you will be beaten with a stick."
At such times, it doesn't matter what kind of military stick is not a military stick.
Murong Ke closed his mouth, quickly changed his soft armor, and brought two days' worth of dry food and water. The soldiers couldn't stop it, and in desperation, they had to go out of the barracks with Murong Ke.
Murong Ke's face is too eye-catching. As soon as he arrived at the gate of the barracks, he was discovered and stopped by the generals who were inspecting the barracks.
Gao Wang, Xu San and others all followed Xu Jing to suppress bandits, and the highest official position in the military camp was Liao Xima.
This military general "invited" Murong Ke to the military tent of the military judge Liao Xima.
Liao Xima has been a subordinate official of the East Palace for many years, and has been a military judge for a few months, and he has a bearing that is not angry but authoritative: "Without a military order, you are not allowed to leave the barracks without permission. Why did Captain Murong knowingly commit a crime?"
Murong Ke insisted that he was going to secretly catch up with the army and kill the enemy to make meritorious contributions.
Of course, Liao Xima didn't believe it, and suddenly lowered his face: "Since you refuse to tell the truth, don't blame me for being ruthless in military law. Someone came, escorted Murong Ke down, and beat fifty military sticks."
A spark appeared in Murong Ke's eyes.
If the fifty sticks go down, he will have to lie in the tent for three or five days like the last time. At that point, it will be too late for anything.
It's just that he couldn't say anything about Liao Xima, Peng Si and others going to assassinate Xu Jing.
Liao Xima saw Murong Ke's expression change, and several thoughts flashed in his heart.
The soldiers of the marching method entered the military tent, and Murong Ke, who was at war with heaven and man, finally couldn't help it, and shouted loudly, "Liao Xima, let me chase the army. Otherwise, the son will be in trouble!"
Liao Xima's brows jumped heavily, and his face sank: "What the hell is going on?"
Murong Ke gritted his teeth and said, "Someone wants to assassinate the prince. Hurry up and let me go, I'm going to save the world!"
Who was going to assassinate Xu Jing, what were the names of these people, and what were their names, but Murong Ke refused to say a word: "You let me go, I'll save people." Otherwise, I won't say anything."
Liao Xima's face sank like water, and he said coldly, "I will send two hundred people to escort you. I hope that Captain Murong will do it for himself and cherish his life."
Half an hour later, two hundred soldiers escorted Murong Ke out of the barracks. Hundreds of horses tapped forward, breaking through the quiet night.
Liao Xima walked out of the military tent and looked in the direction of the capital, as if he had crossed the plain of mountains and rivers, traveled through the vast sky, and landed on the eaves of the East Palace.
The prince lived up to His Royal Highness's high expectations and quickly pacified Qinghe County. After the last group of bandits is exterminated, and then the policy of appeasing the people is carried out, they can leave for Beijing.
Your Highness, you must take care and wait for us to return.
East Palace.
The movement outside the door grew louder and louder, and the screams became more and more violent.
The Left Commander jumped onto the wall, drew his bow and shot an arrow, knocking over a tall janissary with a red scarf tied to his left arm, but his face became more and more solemn.
Squatting high and looking far away, as far as the left commander could see, there were more and more men with red scarves tied to their left arms. They run amok and kill people everywhere. Now there are more than 100 people gathered outside the gate of the East Palace.
It was the Great Jin Janissaries who rebelled.
The emperor's personal soldiers guarding the palace actually rebelled and rebelled, what an absurd irony.
"Commander Zuo," the prince's own soldiers beside him gritted their teeth and said angrily, "Let's open the door and go out together and kill these rebels cleanly."
Several pro-soldiers chimed in.
Commander Zuo came back to his senses and glared at all the soldiers angrily: "Shut up for me!" These traitors have their own loyal guards to deal with, as well as Dingguo Gong and the Iron Guard Battalion. Our mission is to protect the East Palace."
In the East Palace, there are Queen Su, the princess of the King of Beihai, the side concubine of the prince, and the female dependents of civil and military officials. They are all powerless women.
Once they open the palace gate, the East Palace will be lost, and it will be a catastrophe for them.
The hot-blooded soldiers were scolded a few times and shut up one after another.
The left commander led the soldiers to force back the rebels with arrows, and then sent people to the mourning hall.
The personal soldier who delivered the message reported in front of all the women who ordered the message: "The day is already dawn, and these traitors have red scarves tied to their left arms, and they are all palace guards."
All the women looked miserable.
Queen Su's face was as white as paper, and she had long lost her blood.
The people and bandits of the Great Jin Dynasty are everywhere, and the war continues, but the capital has been safe and sound. Who would have thought that the people in the palace today are the guards guarding the palace?
Murong Yao, Murong Shen, they should all be cut by a thousand knives!
Zhao Xiyan's eyes were cold, his heart was surprisingly calm, and he turned to Queen Su and said, "With the presence of the Duke of Dingguo, Murong and his son will never be allowed to run rampant."
As soon as the words fell, another pro-soldier hurriedly ran over and knelt down to report, "There is finally news from the Jinluan Palace. The prince of Yingchuan made a rebellion, killed the chamberlain, and held the emperor hostage!"
