Feng Kun arrived at the post house where Qin Cha was, first ordered his subordinates to guard the surroundings, and then walked directly into the back hall.

At this time, Dong Tianxing was lying on the couch, his upper body naked, his chest was wrapped in bandages, and a small patch of crimson blood oozed from the position near his heart.

This old man in his sixties, with an iron face and closed eyes, looked as if he would kick his legs and burp directly at any moment.

Feng Kun walked closer and asked Lang Zhong next to him softly, "How is it?" ”

Lang Zhong saw that he was wearing a military attache robe of the fourth grade, and he didn't dare to slack off: "Back to the general, the boss is not very good." ”

"What's not so good?" Feng Kun asked, "Is the injury serious?" ”

Lang Zhong nodded: "The location of the arrow is very close to the heart, it hurts the meridians, and there is a lot of blood, which is very dangerous for a person of such an age." ”

Feng Kun didn't know whether to be happy or unhappy, he was stunned, and asked Lang Zhong again: "Can you wake him up now?" ”

Lang Zhong said: "The old man is not asleep, he is just closing his eyes to recuperate." ”

As soon as the words fell, Dong Tianxing next to him opened his eyes lightly and hummed weakly: "General Feng, you are here." ”

"My lord, how did you do this?" Feng Kun's face was full of concern: "Do you feel better now?" ”

"No...... It's not very good......" Dong Tianxing was almost angry: "It's all because the old man is indecisive, he didn't follow the general's advice, and he suffered this crime in vain...... General, I ...... I feel like I'm going to die......"

Feng Kun waved his hand: "How come?" Relax, don't be cranky. ”

Dong Tianxing struggled and said, "General...... General, is that bastard Huo Zhenyu harming me? Isn't it him?! ”

Feng Kun was slightly stunned, and then took the opportunity to say: "It's probably him, my lord, Huo Zhenyu really poisoned you, if we don't hurry up and fight back, he will only be more arrogant." ”

Dong Tianxing showed a resentful expression on his face: "Yes, you are right, even if the old man dies, he must first pull the Lingnan Mansion soldiers on his back." General Feng, excuse me, go and help me do something. ”

"What to do, you say." Feng Kun secretly rejoiced in his heart: "As long as it is within the reach of the general, my lord can do it." ”

Dong Tianxing nodded with difficulty, and after a long pause, he said: "I have already made up my mind, and I will have a complete showdown with the soldiers of Lingnan Mansion, and I will ...... tomorrow Tomorrow evening, you help me summon all the generals of Xiangcheng to meet here, and you will say...... I have something very important to announce. When the time comes, your soldiers will go and surround all the people in Lingnan, and at the same time, we will do it here to correct Huo Zhenyu on the spot. ”

Feng Kun responded: "Of course it's the best." However, I just heard that Huo Zhenyu has begun to quietly assemble troops, so I don't know if he wants to start in advance. ”

"Then find a way to hold him back!" Dong Tianxing was emotional, and once again touched the wound on his chest, and his head was full of beads of sweat: "You go, take my seal letter to find Ma Hongjie." He has already pledged his allegiance to the emperor, and with his identity as the head of the march, he can temporarily stabilize Huo Zhenyu and them, as long as it drags on until tomorrow night, and the various troops are ready, they will be able to shoot smoothly. ”

Feng Kun nodded, took the letter from the captain of the guard next to him, and replied loudly: "Please rest assured, Master Dong, I will definitely live up to the trust." ”

-

Coming out of Dong Tianxing, Feng Kun immediately called his cronies and asked them to go back and transfer some soldiers and horses to protect the Qincha Post Pavilion.

One of his subordinates asked, "General, how is the surname Dong?" Is there a fraud? ”

"There shouldn't be," Feng Kun shook his head: "I've fought for so many years, and I can still see whether I'm really injured or fake." Dong Tianxing almost lost his life this time, and all the evil fire in his stomach was sprinkled on Huo Zhenyu's head, haha, God really helped me. ”

The subordinate said, "So, if someone really assassinates him, who will it be?" ”

Feng Kun waved his hand: "It doesn't matter who he is, anyway, Dong Tianxing has made up his mind to completely turn his face with the soldiers of Lingnan Mansion." You immediately sent out your men as planned, and secretly informed the generals of Lingnan, saying that the crown prince Li Bing wanted to be unfavorable to the old troops of the king of Anping County, and asked them to guard against the friendly forces around them. Hmph, after tomorrow night, the entire defense line of the Jingxiang Army will be chaotic. ”

"What about Huo Zhenyu's side? It is still unknown why they suddenly assembled. The subordinate asked.

Feng Kun sneered: "According to my guess, Huo Zhenyu must have prepared his troops one step earlier in order to avoid chaos in the city after hearing that Dong Tianxing was plotted. What's ridiculous is that Dong Tianxing is still guarding against him now, and specially asked me to inform Ma Hongjie and try to stabilize Huo Zhenyu and not move. ”

The more Feng Kun spoke, the more proud he became, and he couldn't help laughing.

The subordinates also echoed the two sentences, and then asked, "General, when will we launch?" ”

"Tomorrow evening!" Feng Kun said confidently: "Now Dong Tianxing only has half of his life left, and at the same time, he has been put under house arrest by me and cut off all contact with the outside world, as long as everyone is summoned here in his name tomorrow night, he can attack the Lingnan Army and completely provoke civil strife in Jingxiang." ”

-

"My lord, how do you feel?" The captain of the guard asked worriedly, "Can you still hold on?" ”

Dong Tianxing saw that there was no one else in the room, stood up with grinned teeth, and hummed: "Grandma's grandson, it turns out that the arrow wound is so difficult, but it hurts me to death." ”

The captain smiled bitterly: "This is still a humble duty to smooth out all the barbs on the arrow cluster in advance, otherwise when you pull out the arrow, you have to bring down a large piece of meat, which will hurt even more." ”

Dong Tianxing hissed in his mouth and waved his hand: "No, with barbs, your life is really gone." ”

The captain of the guard stretched out his hand to help him: "My lord, even if you want to cheat yourself, you can just pretend to be good, at most you can take a knife and make a cut, why really let the lowly use crossbow arrows to shoot?" Although the distance is far enough and the shooter's accuracy is okay, it is dangerous enough to suffer from it. ”

"This official can't be unguarded," Dong Tianxing put on his robe, and his lips trembled slightly: "What if Feng Kun asks Lang Zhong in private?" What if Lang Zhong is his own person? That Lang Zhong pulled out the arrow from me with his own hands, and no one could see the flaw if it was fake. ”

"What's next?" The captain secretly admired the old man's ruthlessness and asked: "Now that Feng Kun's soldiers have besieged this place, nominally to protect, but actually to take care of it, we are equivalent to completely falling into their hands." ”

Dong Tianxing endured the pain and smiled: "It's okay." I used this bitter trick to confuse Feng Kun temporarily, as long as I can stabilize him, even if it is around for a day or two, it doesn't matter. By tomorrow evening, Ma Hongjie's main force will be able to rush to Xiangcheng, and even if a conflict really breaks out between the two sides, our side will have an absolute advantage, so there is no need to be afraid of them. ”

The captain worried: "What about you?" ”

"I don't think it's a big problem," Dong Tianxing said lightly: "Actually, I am a person who is very afraid of death, and if I can live well, I will never want to die in vain." Feng Kun wanted to take advantage of my special identity to instigate the prince's generals to attack the neutral generals, which would lead to chaos, so he shouldn't easily move me before tomorrow night. When Ma Hongjie's main force comes tomorrow night, he can always save the day. ”

Things were as Dong Tianxing expected, Feng Kun, who was already suspicious, was distracted by the accident of his assassination, although he didn't know who did the assassination, but Dong Tianxing's fierce reaction was exactly what Feng Kun wanted to see the most, so Feng Kun subconsciously relaxed his guard against Lao Dong, thinking that everything was under his control.

As everyone knows, Dong Tianxing had already contacted Ma Hongjie of the neutral faction one step in advance, and 15,000 Jiannan soldiers were hurrying towards Xiangcheng at this time.

In the evening of the next day, Dong Tianxing, who had rested for a day and a night, felt that his injury was much better than before, although it hurt his heart when he moved slightly, he could still hold on to it even if he gritted his teeth. He looked at the sky outside and felt that the hour was almost up, so he ordered his subordinates to take their official uniforms and change them on, and go to the front hall to meet with the generals of the various departments.

At this time, Jingxiang's military leaders had already heard about the assassination of Qin Cha, and as soon as they saw Dong Tianxing appear, several generals from the prince's faction hurriedly surrounded him and asked him how he was doing.

Dong Tianxing endured the pain, forced out a smile, beckoned everyone to sit down first, and then chatted slowly.

On the contrary, the generals of the questioning faction were still sitting in their places one by one, and their expressions were quite intriguing, as if they were afraid that others would misunderstand the accusation of attacking Qin Cha on their heads.

The military system of the Holy Tang Dynasty stipulates that military attachés with the rank of deputy lieutenant or above from the fifth rank can bring their own soldiers to escort them when they go out, as little as twenty or thirty, and as many as one or two hundred, so Dong Tianxing knows very well in his heart that now outside his post house, in addition to Feng Kun's Ezhou Mansion soldiers, there are also a large number of other generals' personal guards, and the total number of people is not less than Feng Kun, so there is no need to worry about the other party daring to mess around on the spot.

At present, the main consideration is the overall strength comparison. He pretended to look at Ma Hongjie casually, and Ma Hongjie nodded at him slightly.

Dong Tianxing comprehended, and immediately secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled at everyone: "Generals, I invite you here today because I have a few things to discuss. ”

The day before yesterday, he was just reprimanded by Lao Dong's ridicule with a gun and a stick, and most of the generals in Jingxiang were still a little depressed, and they couldn't guess what kind of medicine was sold in this Qincha gourd for a while, so they all bowed their heads silently, signaling Dong Tianxing to have something to say.

Dong Tianxing coughed lightly, and accidentally touched the wound again, so painful that he almost snorted, he tried to endure it, and said: "First of all, what do you think of the matter that the official told you the day before yesterday?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the generals of the prince's faction opened their mouths one after another, saying that they were willing to discuss the selection of a new marshal together according to the emperor's wishes.

It was to be expected that these guys supported Li Bing, so no one was too surprised, whether they were skeptics or neutrals.

However, then they were all a little surprised.

Because Ma Hongjie suddenly opened his mouth:

"The last general is willing to listen to the emperor's arrangement and discuss the selection of the commander."
