Chapter 332: The hearts of the people are not aligned
Feng Kun, who was sitting in the back, was shocked.
From the beginning of now, he already had a vague feeling that something was wrong. Originally, it was said that tonight's meeting was to deal with Huo Zhenyu and the Lingnan Mansion soldiers, but Dong Tianxing actually didn't say a word about it, and kept talking about the new commander.
Feng Kun comforted himself, maybe Dong Tianxing wanted to deal with this important matter first, and then slowly clean up Huo Zhenyu, so he didn't rush to react. After all, if an internal conflict breaks out in the Jing Xiang Army, then it makes no sense to be the commander of the army.
However, Feng Kun never expected that after everyone elected Ma Hongjie to replace the king of Anping County, Dong Tianxing's old guy suddenly changed his tone and came directly to him.
Feng Kun subconsciously stood up and said in astonishment, "Master Dong, what do you mean by this?" ”
"It's not interesting," Dong Tianxing smiled at him, turned his head and said to the generals: "General Feng complained to this official the day before yesterday, saying that General Huo Zhenyu Huo wanted to do something wrong, and tried in vain to instigate his troops and the soldiers of Lingnan Mansion to rebel against the emperor. I think this has to be figured out. ”
"Surnamed Feng, you fucking fart!" Huo Zhenyu, who was sitting on the other side, immediately jumped up from his seat, pointed at Feng Kun and scolded: "Biting like a mad dog, what do you want to do?!" ”
Feng Kun's face was so ugly and ugly, and he said embarrassedly: "I...... I find out that you are secretly gathering forces to the detriment of Lord Chincha......"
Huo Zhenyu was about to rush over, but was dragged by several generals next to him, and roared angrily: "What evidence do you have?" You're going to splash dirty water on your back, right? ”
Feng Kun also had a hard time judging whether Dong Tianxing pulled him out to deal with Huo Zhenyu, or whether he didn't have a good heart at all. He rolled his eyes, pointed at Huo Zhenyu and said, "You led your troops to intercept Qin Cha the morning before yesterday, and it was clear that you had a bad heart." And earlier, you also secretly met with the envoy of the King of Huaiyang, and colluded with the rebels privately, don't think we don't know what you want to do! ”
Huo Zhenyu was stunned when he heard this.
He was indeed ordered by Li Chenglin to meet Li Jiong's envoy in private, and the convoy that led the troops to collide with Dong Tianxing was also known to everyone. Feng Kun suddenly mentioned this, obviously wanting to frame him for secretly defecting to the King of Huaiyang, intending to oppose Li Bing.
"I already asked Lord Dong for my guilt the night before!" Huo Zhenyu shouted anxiously: "The soldiers of Lingnan Mansion are willing to be loyal to the emperor and resist the enemy with all their might!" Don't sow discord! ”
Feng Kun sneered: "Is it useless to be guilty?" It's just a disguise! You secretly mobilized troops in a vain attempt to launch a mutiny, and even sent assassins to attack the Qincha, all of which were discovered by Lord Dong. There's nothing to say today, just to take down your scourge. Come! ”
"Wait!"
Ma Hongjie got up and shouted: "Feng Kun, the matter has not been clarified yet, why are you in a hurry to arrest people?" ”
"General Ma, Huo Zhenyu harbors evil intentions and the evidence is conclusive, I can't give him a chance to quibble!" Feng Kun said: "Moreover, this is also the arrangement of Lord Qincha. ”
Dong Tianxing said with a smile: "Feng Kun, you may have misunderstood, I mean to find out about this matter, and I am not completely sure who intends to mutiny and rebel." ”
Damn, the old fox fucks me! Feng Kun was shocked and angry in his heart, Dong Tianxing's current attitude was clearly putting him together.
And at this moment, there was suddenly the sound of neat footsteps on the street outside, and military orders and slogans were endless.
Ma Hongjie said to everyone with a calm expression: "You don't have to be nervous, it's my troops who have entered the city." From now on, the city defense of Xiangcheng will be taken over by the soldiers of Jiannan Prefecture! ”
As soon as this remark came out, even a fool could understand that Ma Hongjie and Dong Tianxing should have already reached some kind of tacit understanding, and this is why the Jiannan Army was suddenly transferred to control Xiangcheng. All the generals couldn't help but look at each other, and then turned their eyes to Feng Kun and Huo Zhenyu.
Feng Kun's face was cloudy, and he said fiercely: "Lord Dong, Feng is loyal to you, and he will not hesitate to offend his colleagues, but he must also protect your integrity, you can't sell me and the Ezhou Mansion soldiers, right?" ”
Dong Tianxing waved his hand: "General Feng, you are serious." The official has always been equal and impartial in his work. Since you accused General Huo of rebellion, then I should naturally investigate carefully. In this case, you should go back to the camp first, restrain the troops, and deal with it after the officer and Ma Shuai have clarified the problem. ”
Feng Kun secretly regretted that he had known that this was the case, so it was better to take a risk at the beginning, make a fuss directly in Xiangcheng, and slaughter this bullshit Qincha easily. However, in that case, there would be no way to instigate the princes' faction to attack the neutrals in an all-out way, and create chaos to the greatest extent.
Ma Hongjie saw him standing in place stunned, and shouted in a deep voice: "Feng Kun, didn't you hear what Master Dong said? Why don't you hurry up? And you, Huo Zhenyu, you also go back to the camp, take care of your subordinates, and don't make any more trouble! ”
Huo Zhenyu was frank in his heart, naturally he didn't have so many worries, and when he heard this, he responded yes, gave a military salute to Ma Hongjie and Dong Tianxing, and then strode away.
Feng Kun sighed secretly, and had no choice but to follow suit and retire.
Seeing that they all left the room, Yan Huiqing looked at Dong Tianxing suspiciously: "Lord Qincha, what the hell is going on?" ”
Dong Tianxing smiled: "The situation is as I just said, Feng Kun secretly reported Huo Zhenyu, I was worried that the troops on both sides would fight, so I asked Ma Shuai to transfer his troops in time to temporarily control the situation, and then we are slowly investigating." ”
Mi Pei shook his head when he heard this: "Alas, chaos! It's messy! I have been a soldier all my life, and I have never seen the army of Shengtang so chaotic as it is today, no wonder the Turks are rampant, we are not angry! ”
When Ma Hongjie heard him say this, he couldn't help but sigh, and immediately asked, "Master Dong, what should I do next?" ”
Dong Tianxing didn't want to easily judge Feng Kun's suspicion in front of the generals, so he even piggybacked on Huo Zhenyu to dispose of it, anyway, real gold was not afraid of fire refining, so he said: "I suggest that in this way, you, Yan Lao, and Mi Lao jointly issue a warrant, so that Feng Kun and Huo Zhenyu's troops are temporarily grounded, and honestly stay in the camp and are not allowed to move." At the same time, some reliable troops will be transferred to reinforce Xiangcheng, and the whole situation must be suppressed. I mean, no matter which of them has a problem, their soldiers or the soldiers of the Holy Tang should not be abolished because of chaos. ”
Ma Hongjie nodded: "Okay, then listen to you, all of them are temporarily circled and let my people closely monitor them." As long as there are enough troops, I don't think any of them will dare to make trouble. ”
As he spoke, he turned around and named a few people and asked them to quickly move their troops.
After Ma Hongjie made the arrangements, Dong Tianxing said with a smile: "Early tomorrow morning, I will let the fast horse send the song to the Eastern Capital, and ask the emperor to issue an order to clarify the identities of the three." This is right, so he can wave his army north and fight back against the Turks. ”
Yan Huiqing asked: "Qincha, I heard you say that there is a Zhenjiang army in the west, which seems to have something to do with the original Zhenjiang Protectorate, but it is not exactly the same, and the momentum is quite big, is that so?" ”
Mi Pei was also quite curious: "Yes, even Lao Xu's grandson is there, and he has recovered Liangzhou, what is going on?" Tell us about it. ”
Dong Tianxing smiled: "Two old brothers, you really asked the right person, I just came back from Western Xinjiang a while ago, and I know the situation best." Right now, the entire ghost desert in Western Xinjiang, along with Zijin Pass and Shengyu Pass, has been recovered by the Zhenjiang Army. The 350,000 elite army can stab Ashina in the back at any time! ”
"Three hundred and fifty thousand?!" Mi Pei was dumbfounded: "There are so many soldiers and horses, which is three times the original Zhenjiang Protectorate!" ”
Dong Tianxing said with a smile: "350,000 is only the current strength, as long as Li Jiangyao gives an order, the Western Xinjiang can recruit another 200,000 people at any time." ”
Yan Huiqing was surprised and said, "Who is this Li Jiangyao?" Why don't I have any impression of this person? ”
Ma Hongjie said on the side: "Oh, I have a little impression of him. When I was teaching in the Imperial Capital Yanwutang, he was my student. ”
Yan Huiqing's expression was even more exaggerated: "Your student? Are you kidding? So how old is he this year? ”
"Probably in his twenties," Ma Hongjie smiled: "He and Xu Youchang, the grandson of Old Man Xu, and Murong Xue, the former general, are all special martial arts in that batch." The three of them are notoriously naughty, but they are really geniuses. Oh yes, I remember, Li Jiangyao is still the apprentice of Commander He, and his sword technique has been passed down by him. ”
Yan Huiqing couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "He is only in his twenties, he is in charge of an army of 350,000 people, and he has also recaptured thousands of miles of mountains and rivers from the hands of the Turks, which is amazing, and the future is limitless!" ”
Dong Tianxing bowed slightly: "Elder Yan is right." Although I haven't been with Li Daduhu for a long time, I admire his talent very much. Think about it, it is very difficult for a non-peer to be able to fight alone for several years without all support and assistance from the imperial court, and finally rise among strong enemies and stand out from the crowd. It was precisely because of the existence of the Zhenjiang Army that the pace of the Turkic eastward advance was somewhat restrained, and the rapid fall of the Central Plains and other places was avoided. This is a great contribution to Saint Tang. ”
Hearing this, all the generals present nodded their heads one after another, and at the same time felt ashamed that they had been leaving the battlefield.
Dong Tianxing continued: "The current situation is very critical for us. Before I left Western Xinjiang, I specifically asked Li Daduhu when he could command the main army to advance eastward and counterattack the foreign enemy in an all-round way. However, Li Daduhu said that the people within our Holy Tang Army are not aligned, and they have the advantage of troops and geographical advantages, but they cannot form a situation of flanking the Turks before and after, and they miss the opportunity in vain. Therefore, the emperor sent his official to Xiangcheng to discuss the plan with the generals. Guys, you can't hesitate any longer, hesitate and hesitate, you are ashamed of the emperor and the military flag! ”
Yan Huiqing burst into tears, stomped his feet and said, "Brother, you scolded right that day!" We scolding all the! The first emperor died, the imperial capital was lost, and we haven't even killed a single Turk until now! Compared to Li Jiangyao, are we still human? Hong Jie, you also hurry up and write an excerpt, and send it to the Eastern Capital tomorrow, let's fight! If I don't recapture the imperial capital, I won't live anymore! Accompany the emperor! ”
