Time rewinds back to four days ago, at the same time as the envoys of the Three Kingdoms entered Shenjing, Fan Zhen, who was named the general of Sanpin Wuwei, together with Kan Leng, took their own personal guards, and the group walked along the official road towards the camp in the south of the Yangtze River.

At the front of the team, scouts come and go from time to time, passing back the latest news from the front.

Looking at this scene, Kan Ling, who served as Fan Zhen's deputy general, nodded silently in his heart.

This Fan Zhen's army is really rigorous, no wonder it can be reused by the traitorous king and His Majesty successively!

At this moment, a guard drove his horse to Kan Ling and said in a low voice:

"General, General Fan has an invitation from there, saying that he has something to discuss with the general."

Kan Ling raised his eyebrows, didn't say much, and drove his horse to Fan Zhen's side.

"General Fan, are you looking for the last general?"

When Fan Zhen saw Kan Ling coming, a kind smile appeared on his face, nodded, and said:

"The scout just said that it is less than forty miles away from the Jiangnan camp?"

"What does General Wuwei mean?"

Kan Ling couldn't figure out the meaning of Fan Zhen's words for a while, and asked tentatively.

"The meaning of this general is that General Kan you lead most of your troops to walk slowly behind, and this general will go alone to the camp in Jiangnan to see Fang Zhenbei."

Kan Ling was surprised.

"This, General Fan, why is this?"

"You and I don't know if the Jiangnan camp knows about the affairs of Shenjing now, you and I bear the heavy responsibility of Your Majesty, and rashly enter the camp together, if the soldiers in the camp have two hearts, I am not afraid of falling into it, it is nothing more than a life, but I am afraid of ruining Your Majesty's plan. Ben will have an old relationship with Fang Zhenbei, and he will enter the camp alone, for the sake of acquaintance, Fang Zhenbei will not be too embarrassed by Ben General. After the general enters the camp, if he does not leave the camp within three or two days, then ask General Kan to write to His Majesty, the Jiangnan battalion has rebelled, and the army will be quickly dispatched to suppress it! ”

When Fan Zhen said this, his face was extremely calm, and he thought about it all the way.

Kan Ling pondered for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement.

"Okay, just according to General Fan! The last general waited for the general for three days, and if he did not see the general out of the camp, then according to the general's words! ”

…………

Late at night.

On the bank of the Canglong River, the well-guarded border military camps are like a giant dragon, quietly lurking there.

Since Taihe Wang Huang Jingming led the army back to Beijing, the Jiangnan camp was dominated by Fang Chao, the general of Zhenbei, and supplemented by the strategist Wang Duruo.

Although it was late at night, between the camps, you could still see the soldiers patrolling non-stop, and the burning torches illuminated the surrounding area of the camp like a daylight.

At this moment, the surroundings of the handsome tent have been controlled by Fang Chao's personal guards.

The handsome position that originally belonged to Huang Jingming was vacant, and dozens of generals in armor were lined up left and right.

It's just that the generals are silent, and the atmosphere in the tent is extremely solemn.

Fang Chao, who was in the front seat on the left, saw that everyone was about to arrive, raised his head and glanced at everyone, and said lightly:

"Ben will look at everyone's expressions, and it seems that he has also received the news."

When the generals heard this, they all looked up at Fang Chao.

The impatient general has opened his mouth and asked:

"General Zhenbei, Lord Wang, he was really ...... by that little one, Your Majesty"

Thinking that it was no longer appropriate to call Zhao Yu "Little Emperor" again, this guy changed his words in a hurry.

Fang Chao shook his head and said:

"The situation in Shenjing, don't say that it is the general, even Mr. Wang has not received a letter from the prince for nearly a month. It's just that the prince is safe, and Mr. Wang and I don't dare to speculate. ”

"But we can't wait here, can we?"

"That's it!"

"Lord Wang, alas, ......"

Fang Chao's voice fell, and the generals below began to talk about it.

"General Fang, when the prince left, let the general take charge of the camp, and I admire the general's ability." One of the generals spoke, "Why don't you and Mr. Wang come up with a charter for me, as long as it is feasible, we will never say anything." ”

As soon as the general spoke, there was a burst of echo.

"General Fang, you are a person who is trusted by the prince, and you have the highest status and official position among us. As long as you don't let me wait to join Jin Kou, I'll listen to you! ”

"That's what I mean!"

"If the prince is fine, if the prince is to blame in the future, our brothers will do our best to bear it for the general."

"That's it, aren't we still Mr. Wang here? With his guarantee, the prince won't blame me too much! ”

"Mr. Wang, you can say something!"

Seeing that the camp was getting more and more noisy, Fang Chao coughed lightly and said:

"Brothers, listen to Fang's words."

Seeing Fang Chao speak, all the generals closed their mouths one after another and turned their eyes in the direction where he was.

"Don't worry, my Chaosheng is a Great Chu person, and he died as a Great Chu ghost, don't say that he is taking refuge in Jin Kou, that is, he is a dog for that Qi thief, even if Lao Tzu loses his head, he will not be able to do such things that will make people poke his backbone in the future!"

As soon as these words came out, the generals nodded one after another.

As a Chu person, not to mention the contradictions between him and the Jin State for the time being, the hatred between him and the Qi State alone cannot be washed away by the water of the three rivers and the four seas!

"I'm waiting in the Jiangnan camp, and it's quite far away from Shenjing, and the news of Shenjing City won't be able to reach here for a while. I discussed with Mr. Wang several times, but finally decided to stand still and wait and see. ”

In this matter, Wang Duruo also got up and said:

"According to the official's calculations, it will be almost two or three days since the imperial envoy came to us. You might as well wait a little longer and see what the court has to say. If we are not to blame in the past, then we will naturally continue to work hard for the court, and even if there is a small punishment, the big guy will admit it. But if the imperial court doesn't remember the hard work of guarding the frontier, then don't blame this Jiangnan camp for mutiny! ”

"What Mr. Wang said is extremely true!"

The generals spoke out one after another to express their approval.

In fact, subconsciously, the generals in this battalion also acquiesced in the fact that the prince was killed and Zhao Yu completely controlled the power of the court.

It's just that the struggle for power in officialdom has always been extremely cruel.

In this Jiangnan camp, nine out of ten stops are people who were personally promoted by Huang Jingming, the king of Taihe, and naturally carry the label of Huang Jingming's party, plus the 30,000 border troops of Chu State. No one would think that His Majesty, who had regained power, would not make a move against them, the old subordinates of the Taihe King.

You know, this is the most elite border army of 30,000.

If it were them, they didn't dare to let this army be controlled by this group of rebel kings, what if they fell to the Jin State or the Qi State?

When the deliberations were finished, the congregation dispersed.

Fang Chao had just returned to his tent and was about to rest, but a personal soldier quietly came to report, saying that an old man from Beijing had come to see him, and he was now waiting outside the camp.

The old man in Beijing, isn't it......

Thinking of a possibility, Fang Chao's spirit instantly lifted up, and he hurriedly commanded:

"Go, and invite him to the camp of the generals. Be careful not to let others see it. ”

The soldiers were ordered to leave, and they returned again after a short time, but now there was one more person by their side.

"Haha, Brother Fang, long time no see!" Seeing Fang Chao, the man smiled and said.

"Brother Fan? Sure enough, it's you! ”

Recognizing that the person was Fan Zhen, Fang Chao was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly got up and personally welcomed Fan Zhen into the account.

"General Ben and General Fan have important matters to discuss, you go out first."

Let the guards be on duty outside the camp, Fang Chao pulled Fan Zhen into his seat and said with a wry smile:

"Brother Fan came this time, so that the younger brother can't understand the situation in Shenjing even more."

Fan Zhen laughed, the other party squeezed his eyes, and said:

"Brother Fang, you might as well guess, whose will is it for my brother to come this time?"

Fang Chao put a cup of tea in front of Fan Zhen, and Fang waved his hand and said:

"Brother Fan, don't let the little brother guess this. These days, in order to appease these arrogant soldiers, the younger brother has a few gray hairs. ”

With that, the two looked at each other and burst out laughing.

After laughing, Fan Zhen took out the letter from his arms and handed it to Fang Chao.

"Brother Fang looked at this letter, and if you think about it, you will know the current situation in Shenjing."

"It's ......"

Taking the letter, Fang Chao looked at it with a puzzled expression, and in the next moment, his expression suddenly became serious.

By the time he visited the letter, Fang Chao was already in tears.

"Brother Fan, you and I are sorry for Wu Cheng!"

Fang Chao thumped a few cases with his right hand, his face full of remorse.

Seeing that Fang Chao's mood was slightly stable, Fan Zhen continued:

"As a brother, it was when I received this letter from the son of the deceased that I realized that the Miaojiang Rebellion was Huang Jingming's self-respecting move, so I made up my mind and took refuge in the court and Your Majesty. Huang Jingming, this person, you can see what his mood is from this incident alone. Let him succeed in usurping the throne, to my people in Dachu, it will be harmful and unprofitable! ”

"Brother Wu still has children in the world?"

Hearing the words "son of the old man", Fang Chao perked up and hurriedly asked.

Fan Zhen nodded and told Fang Chao in detail about the situation at that time.

After Fang Chao listened, Fang breathed a sigh of relief.

"If Brother Wu dies because of you and me, when his soul returns to Jiuquan, you and I may have no shame to see Brother Fang again."

After packing up his mood, Fang Chao asked about the affairs in Shenjing at that time.

"With Brother Fan as your internal response, it is quite easy for the little emperor to calculate Huang Jingming. It's just that I'm curious that Huang Jingming's cultivation is unknown to others, but you and I know. In the Nine-Rank Grandmaster Realm, there are not a few martial artists with the same cultivation, and they can't take him at all. ”

"This is the point of admiration for His Majesty. His Majesty's level of forbearance is rare in the world. Brother Fang, do you know how many Nine Rank Grandmaster Realm ambushed Huang Jingming that day? ”

Before Fang Chao could speak, Fan Zhen had already stretched out four fingers.

"Counting Your Majesty, there are four of them!"

"Four Nine Rank Grandmaster Realm, where did Your Majesty find them?" When Fang Chao heard this, his eyes widened in shock, but in the next moment, he suddenly realized something, and his voice even unconsciously raised a few degrees under the shock, "Wait, Brother Fan is saying, even Your Majesty is ......"

The Adam's apple couldn't stop rolling, Fang Chao took a few breaths before he said those words with difficulty.

"Nine Grades, Grandmaster Realm?"

Frightened, Fang Chao's title to Zhao Yu subconsciously changed from "Little Emperor" to "Your Majesty".

"Exactly." Fan Zhen smiled bitterly and nodded. "When Brother Wei learned about this fact, he was even more surprised than Brother Fan."

"!" Fang Chao stretched out his hand and rubbed his face fiercely, his tone was full of disbelief, "Your Majesty is only a few years old, and he has become a Nine-Rank Grandmaster Realm, is this the beginning of cultivation in the womb?" This, look at Your Majesty, and then look at yourself, the younger brother only doubts now, at this age, is the younger brother alive to a dog? ”

"Your Majesty definitely didn't start cultivating in the womb, otherwise Lao An Guohou and his wife wouldn't have been assassinated......," Fan Zhen said, "The only thing that is certain is that the family foundation left by His Majesty to his successor in the past dynasties is not ordinarily thick, so thick that it can instantly make His Majesty's strength reach the ninth grade." ”

"It only makes sense with this explanation." Fang Chao's mood gradually returned to normal, "With the Nine-Rank Grandmaster Realm, you can still endure until the end before you make a move, and the prince is not unjust at all when he loses." In this way, Brother Fan is here to prepare to take his younger brother and the generals back to Beijing? ”

"Brother Fang guessed wrong again!" Fan Zhen laughed and said, "Brother, you don't want to think about it, then Your Majesty can be used as a brother, why can't you use Brother Fang, why can't you use the generals in this camp?" You must know that the Taihe Wang party has a large number of people in the court, and after His Majesty took power, he only punished the first evil, and the rest of the people were all raised high, fell gently, and fined money. Your Majesty's heart is beyond what you and I can imagine! ”

"With Brother Fan's reassurance, the generals' minds can also be settled."

Hearing Fan Zhen say this, Fang Chao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

No one wants to do such a rebellious thing unless they are cornered.

You must know that the supply of grain and straw for these 30,000 soldiers is all solved by the imperial court. Not only that, but the families of these soldiers are all in the territory of Chu.

If there is no suitable reason to rebel, I am afraid that my soldiers will be the first to refuse.

"What is Mr. Wang's attitude?"

Seeing that Fang Chao was willing to cooperate, Fan Zhen's originally tense mind suddenly relaxed, and then asked a question that he was most concerned about.

Wang Duruo, as one of Huang Jingming's most trusted advisers, could not have guessed the current situation in Shenjing.

Fan Zhen shook his head suspiciously, and said:

"The little brother is also a little strange. These days, there is no news from the direction of Shenjing, and even the younger brother thinks that Huang Jingming is more than lucky, but Mr. Wang is still quite calm, and even helps the younger brother to appease the generals. To be honest, his thoughts, the little brother really can't see it. ”

"Forget it, don't consider Mr. Wang. With Brother Fan's cooperation, Mr. Wang can't make any waves. Early tomorrow morning, I will pass on the will of the court and His Majesty to the generals. ”

Fan Zhen had no choice but to say this.

Early in the morning of the second day.

The drums of the generals sounded in the camp of the border army.

The generals heard the sound of drums and entered the camp, only to find a familiar figure standing next to Fang Chao.

General Fan, could it be that the prince had the last laugh?

Whether it is Wang Duruo or the generals, there is such a thought in their hearts.

However, when Fan Zhen took out the holy decree and read it, everyone was disappointed, but also mixed with a trace of sigh.

How did the little emperor in Shenjing City manage to turn the tables against the wind?

Moreover, the disposal of this Jiangnan battalion and his own people also made it impossible for these generals to find fault.

Fan Zhen was appointed as the general of Wuwei, the head of the Jiangnan battalion, with the sword of the Son of Heaven, controlling the generals of the army, exercising the right to cut first and then playing, appointing Fang Chao and Kan Ling from Beijing as the deputy commander, Wang Duruo as the army, and the rest of the generals remained unchanged, but the punishment for half a year was the previous punishment.

"Brothers, do you have any doubts about what Your Majesty said in the Holy Decree? If not, then please ask the generals to take the order. ”

Looking at the generals kneeling in the camp, Fan Zhen said with a smile.

"Commandment!"

The generals said in unison.

A turmoil that had not yet happened was quietly calmed down by Zhao Yu with Fan Zhen and a will.

However, waiting until the early morning of the next day, Fan Zhen and Fang Chao got bad news.

After joining the army, Du Ruo, who joined the army, left a suicide note, he killed himself in the tent!

There are only a few lines on the suicide note: My lord is in the south, I just ask Your Majesty not to bury Weichen facing the north!

"Mr. Wang did this, but where did he put us?"

Looking at Wang Duruo's body, Fan Zhen and Fang Chao sighed, their moods were complicated, and their faces were even more unsightly.

"It's not up to you and me to decide this matter, so it's up to Your Majesty to decide."

Fan Zhen sighed.

Soon after, a note from the camp in Jiangnan entered the city of Shenjing.
