Chapter 113: The False Summons Causes a Disturbance in the City
That night, Captain Hu Tuokemu suddenly heard the neighing of military horses on the street in the capital, and he asked the sergeant on night duty:
"Where's the sound of military horses?"
"General, this is the Imperial Forest Army preparing to go to the south of the city to defend against the invading enemy!"
"Enemy!" said Hutokmu in astonishment, "where is the enemy?"
"General, I don't know if it's small!"
Hu Tuokemu wondered that the military department had to first convene a meeting of the military attachés in the capital to discuss the major matters of the ordinary transfer of troops and generals, and then order the battalions; however, at present, the soldiers and horses of the Imperial Forest Army had moved, and he, as the captain of the Dali capital garrison, would not know anything about it.

When he was puzzled, he saw more than 20 remnants of the defeated generals, supporting Zheng Bin, the sallow and panting patrol chief, and returned to the capital in embarrassment. Seeing this, Hutokmu immediately stepped forward and asked them:
"What's going on?"
"General Hui," said a sergeant who was not injured, and came forward to proclaim, "in the evening, a man from Liujia Village named Liu Xiaogou came to Yamen with a wanted notice to report that when he passed by the door of Liu Song's house outside their village in the morning, he saw Fang Zhifeng, a young man on the wanted notice, enter their house; Unexpectedly, he met a fortune teller who was outrageous and insulted Zheng Bin, the patrol chief, on the spot. Therefore, we suspect that he is the one who went all the way with the wanted criminal Fang Zhifeng, and was about to arrest him, and when he saw this, he ran away. Then we chased the fortune teller into the wilderness, but the man suddenly stopped running and turned over to fight us. Unexpectedly, this person is very powerful, so we are what we are now!"
"In the end, the fortune teller ran away for him too?"
"Yes, ran. The sergeant said dejectedly, "We can't beat him, we can only watch him run into the woods." ”
"Ahem! you're not in good hands. "Why can't so many people catch a fortune teller!"
"But, I suppose, the fortune teller, should have been caught by now!" said the sergeant with confidence.
"Oh! I've been caught. Hutokmu asked him in surprise, "You just said that you couldn't beat him, and now you say that you should have been caught, what is going on?"
"It's not that we have been caught," the sergeant immediately corrected, "it was caught by Mo Gongtian, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army!"
"In other words, Mo Gongtian, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, also went later?" he asked.
"Yes, General!"
"I see!" said Captain Hutokmu to the sergeant, "help Zheng Shichang to rest!" and said him, and went out across the street to the camp of the Imperial Guards.
However, when he saw that the military horses on the field were majestic, and the swords and guns were numerous, Hu Yanping, the deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army, was wearing his horse and preparing to march towards the south of the city;
"Captain Hook, now that the city is full of military horses, why are you still stepping on clogs, wearing clothes, and not in a hurry?"
"It's not that I'm not in a hurry," said Captain Hutokmu, "but I haven't received any notice of sending troops!"
"Oh, yes, that's weird!" said the other man, "Our Imperial Guards have moved, and you haven't received any orders to send troops until now!"
"Could there be anything going on here!" said Hutokmu, "who gave your orders?"
"A minister named Hip Hop!" said the other party, "This minister has the token of Mo Gongtian, the commander of our Imperial Forest Army, and says that there is a Biao army and horse outside the south gate of the city, and the siege is very urgent; Therefore, let the hip-hop master come with his token and come to dispatch the troops. ”
"I see!" Captain Hutokmu pondered, "Have you seen this token with your own eyes?"
"Of course, it was only after seeing the token with my own eyes that I mobilized my troops. Deputy Commander Hu Yanping said.
"However, just now our patrol chief Zheng Bin came back and said that Mo Gongtian, the commander of the Royal Forest Army, was in a forest not far in front of Liujia Village, arresting a strange fortune teller!"
"Oh, could there be such a thing?" said the other party, "Captain Huto, otherwise, the two of us will split up in two ways, and I will rush to the south of the city to help at the time designated by Master Hip-hop." And you, immediately lead the people and horses to the grove in front of Liujia Village to see what is going on. If there is any abnormality, we will contact you again. ”
"That's the best, after all, it won't delay your military order!" said Captain Hutokmu at last.
So they split up, and the captain of the cavalry, Hu Tuokemu, immediately returned to the capital, straddled his horse with spears and horses, and led fifty or sixty majestic and mighty sergeants, armed with guns and knives, and holding torches, to gallop towards the grove in front of Liujia Village.
After a while, when they arrived at the grove, Mo Gongtian, the commander of the Royal Forest Army, saw it, and they were overjoyed and immediately called for help:
"Hey, we're here. ”
Captain Hu Tuokemu arrived with his men, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he immediately understood what the reason was, so he groaned and said to Mo Gongtian, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army;
"Commander Mo, the big thing is not good, someone is holding your token, spreading military orders everywhere, and now, the military horses all over the city are in a mess, look at this situation, tonight is going to be a big mess!"
"That must be a fortune teller who has done a trick!" Mo Gongtian, the commander of the Royal Forest Army, shouted, "His token was taken!"
When the captain of the cavalry, Hu Tuokemu, led the sergeants, carefully removed the hexagram sticks nailed to the body of Mo Gongtian, the commander of the Royal Forest Army, and helped them onto their horses, ready to be sent back to the capital. Therefore, Captain Hutokmu said:
"Commander Mo, now that the situation is urgent, let's see if you should personally go to the camp in the south of the city to defend the city, so that you can explain to the soldiers where you are to face the reason why the token fell into the hands of thieves and led to the false transmission of military orders!"
"yes, I should have checked it out. So, they sent six sergeants to send the wounded Tu Qiang and Yu Ying back to the capital first. The rest of the sergeants continued to follow the captain of the cavalry, Hu Tuokemu, and the commander of the Royal Forest Army, Mo Gongtian, to the south of the city.
Before arriving in the south of the city, he saw the city wall in the south of the city from a distance, the fire was lit and candlelit, and he faintly heard the shouts and drums. At this time, the sergeant sent back by the deputy commander Hu Yanping to report the military situation to Captain Hu Tuokemu of the cavalry arrived just in time. As soon as he saw Mo Gongtian, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, and Hu Tuokemu, the captain of the Xiao Cavalry, he flew off his horse and ran forward to pray:
"The two generals, the deputy commander called me to report, the defenders of the south of the city have followed the son of the direction sign, Fang Zhifeng, the cavalry captain of the garrison camp in the south of the city! They have occupied the entire south city, and now the deputy commander Hu Yanping is about to be unable to resist!"
When Mo Gongtian, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat, he pinched his forehead with his hand, sighed and said:
"What can I do!"
At this moment, I saw a group of military horses coming in the east, with torches, and the captain of the cavalry, Hutuokmu, said:
"Let's go and see whose military horse this is!"
Immediately, a sergeant flew down the mountain on horseback.
