After the two sides confronted each other for a long time, Lin Yongxin took the initiative to retreat his gaze and said to Qu Mingde: "It seems that what you said is indeed somewhat true. ”

"General......

As soon as Lin Yongxin's voice fell, there was an uproar in the entire military tent.

The crowd could not believe that this was coming from the mouth of their own Lord.

Of course, in fact, this army is equivalent to Lin Yongxin's own private property, and the opposition of his generals is not for the injustice of the Great Zhou.

What they really care about is that Lin Yongxin's interests will be damaged as a result.

And Lin Yongxin's interests include their interests.

Lin Yongxin, who sat high on the position of the main general, waved his hand to stop the meaning of the generals, and said: "I want to raise the soldiers and horses and go to Pengcheng to have a look, what do you think?"

When he said this, Lin Yongxin's eyes were on Qu Mingde's body, as if he wanted to see some clues from his reaction.

The generals in the military tent did not talk to each other for the first time. Lin Yongxin's decision was obviously beyond their expectations.

Don't look at these people making a lot of trouble, but at this time, Lin Yongxin, as the chief general, is the key to really determining the behavior of the army. After years of accumulation, as long as Lin Yongxin does not do anything that angers the heavens and resents people, it is impossible for his subordinates to rebel.

Therefore, after he said that he would take the army to Pengcheng to see the situation, everyone had no objection to this decision.

It was even more impossible for Qu Mingde to say anything about this matter, so as soon as Lin Yongxin gave the order, the entire army started.

Such an uproar naturally could not be concealed from Zuo Chengwen outside, which made him frightened for a while, and thought that Qu Mingde's plan to persuade the Pengcheng garrison to surrender had failed, and now the other party was preparing to go to war.

However, even if the other party was preparing to go to war, Zuo Chengwen, who only had five hundred cavalry in his hands, would not be able to do anything.

It's just that he was suspicious in his heart, Zuo Chengwen still lingered, in order to see what the result was.

Even if the other party really decisively raises the flag and wants to be the enemy of himself and others for Da Zhou or some other purpose, Zuo Chengwen must first see the results clearly before going back to report to Zuo Jianzhang. Naturally, looking at Qu Mingde's situation is also one of Zuo Chengwen's purposes.

Fortunately, things did not go for the worst, and after a period of commotion, the camp door was opened, and Qu Mingde walked out of the garrison camp with two scholars.

"Brother Qu, what is the result? What happened when the garrison moved?" Seeing Qu Mingde, Zuo Chengwen asked directly.

Qu Mingde, whose personal safety seems to be ignored, has no temper, and after telling the cause and effect, he is silent.

Now the situation is clear.

On Zuo Chengwen's side, there are only two choices: yes and no, but no matter which attitude it is, it is not conducive to the current situation.

As mentioned earlier, with only 500 cavalry at his disposal, he could not pose much of a threat to the garrison that was full of crossbows and far outnumbered by their strong crossbows. Moreover, this refusal, unless the other side takes the initiative to retreat, they can only start a war with the garrison.

In Qu Mingde's opinion, although Zuo Jianzhang didn't know what his plan was, this choice should not be within his consideration. Therefore, nine times out of ten, Zuo Chengwen is going to agree to the other party.

Sure enough, after muttering for a while, Zuo Chengwen finally nodded as if he understood, and ordered the whole army to retreat to the other side of the river.

This kind of move has no practical significance, but only shows Zuo Chengwen's attitude.

Seeing this, Lin Yongxin finally ordered the army to walk out of the camp gate.

Three thousand good people, not much. But when they really waved their flags and lined up in an orderly manner, the visual impact they brought was by no means imaginable for idle characters.

After Qu Mingde followed Zuo Chengwen and the others to the other side of the river, he couldn't help but secretly admire when he saw that the Great Zhou garrison was really imposing.

In Jiangzhou, a border place, the garrison army is still so imposing, so what kind of momentum should the Fourth Army, which has always been dominant in the world and defend Kyoto?

Not to mention this extraneous reverie, after Lin Yongxin transferred the army outside the camp, he did not have the slightest intention of relaxing. The formations marched layer by layer, and the three thousand garrison troops soon began to cross the river.

The river in front of you is not as vast as Huishui, and people can lean on it as a barrier. So, no one did anything at this time.

After successfully crossing the river, Lin Yongxin sent someone to communicate with Zuo Chengwen, and Zuo Chengwen didn't say much, just asked the teams of the two sides to keep their distance.

More than ten miles away, about an hour later, it was exhausted.

Lin Yongxin and his subordinates stood on the high platform, looking at Pengcheng from afar, it was indeed the king flag, even if there was news, they still didn't know what to do for a while.

As a general, everyone still reacted like this, not to mention the soldiers under their command? After seeing Peng Cheng, hanging the flag that was no longer the king of the Great Zhou, the garrison army was in an uproar.

Everyone was talking about what was going on, and there was some commotion in the tight formation at this moment.

Qu Mingde and Zuo Chengwen were in their own army, watching from a distance of one or two miles, although they were not very clear, but they could also feel the chaos that shrouded the garrison.

"Unfortunately, if someone seized the opportunity to break through from the right side, this garrison would have been completely destroyed. Zuo Chengwen said.

They now occupy the left side of the garrison, and on this side, Lin Yongxin carefully arranged many henchmen. There were also riots, but they were all quickly controlled, leaving not much opportunity for Zuo Chengwen and others. That's why Zuo Chengwen sighed.

Hearing Zuo Chengwen's words, Qu Mingde's heart moved, and he said with a smile: "Since I was arranged to persuade me to surrender, it shows that the general is only afraid that he is not very willing to fight with Lin Yongxin." ”

Zuo Chengwen nodded. Qu Mingde was right, even if he had the opportunity, he would not have been able to attack the garrison without further orders. What I just said was just an instinctive reaction.

Lin Yongxin frowned and looked at the city for a while, and then said to the generals gathered around him: "Take your cronies to suppress the first team and restore the formation as soon as possible." ”

"General, what about Pengcheng ......?"

"The whole army is the top, this is the capital of our life. As for Peng Cheng, although he didn't know what was going on, it was just that since the other party had sent someone to talk, everyone would naturally be able to talk slowly. Lin Yongxin said lightly.

The generals who got the strength from Lin Yongxin's words no longer hesitated, and quickly left the main general's side, and took their cronies to suppress the team.

After all, Lin Yongxin was majestic in the Pengcheng garrison, and his orders were quickly carried out, and the rioting army gradually quieted down, knowing that it had returned to its previous solemnity.

It's just that all these things are just appearances. Qu Mingde can intuitively feel that the momentum of today's garrison is very different from that just now.
