Chapter 1156: Coup (Part 2)

Xiang Zheng was a little upset by his elder brother's words and eyes.

You know, since childhood, he and his second brother Xiang Jun have basically been raised under the shadow of Xiang Zhen. First, Xiang Zhen is the eldest brother, and since childhood, Xiang Zhen has far surpassed the two of them, both in terms of literary and military strategies.

In the past, Xiang Zheng and Xiang Jun were only able to bow their heads and obey orders in front of their boss Xiang Zhen. In the Xiang family, Xiang Zhen is also recognized as the successor of the Xiang family. Whether it is prestige, influence or even financial resources, it is not comparable to Xiang Zheng and Xiang Jun.

But after Xiang Zhen defeated E Yue, everything changed.

The defeat of E Yue had a profound impact on the southern forces represented by Lingnan, and was a battle for the Southern Alliance to be fully passive. As the commander of this battle, Xiang Zhen bears an unshirkable responsibility.

Xiang Zhen fell out of favor.

Xiang Xun began to lean his attention more on Xiang Zhen and Xiang Jun.

Of course, this is just Xiang Zheng’s own opinion. Just as Xiang Zhen said to his father Xiang Xun, Xiang Zheng is just a fool in other aspects, in addition to his courage.

The root of Xiang Zhen’s unlucky is his influence, which is gradually surpassing his father.

This is something that Xiang Xun cannot tolerate.

Is I still alive? Do you want to go over me? Just take advantage of this excuse to take down Xiang Zhen and kill him well.

Do you think Xiang Xun really wants to deal with Xiang Zhen?

That's not.

After all, this is his best son.

He just didn't want to let his son surpass himself and become the number one figure in Lingnan when he was still alive. In Xiang Xun's opinion, Xiang Zhen's style is too sharp and needs to be warmed up.

Including Xiang Zhenshuo giving up all his money to raise money to train troops at the Lianhua Mountain Camp, Xiang Xun also disagreed. In his opinion, this was still another unyielding meaning that Xiang Zhen expressed to him.

Therefore, after Xiang Zhen came back this time, as soon as he opened his mouth, he snatched the ownership of the army that Xiang Zhen had worked hard and financially to train.

Since his temperament has not stabilized yet, let’s go to Lianhua Mountain Camp to practice for a few years.

But what he never expected was that Xiang Zhen's reaction was so intense, and more importantly, he did not expect that Xiang Zhen had been planning for so long for today.

Xiang Zheng naturally couldn't imagine anything that Xiang Xun could not imagine.

As he ran all the way to the front army station of the Imperial Camp, he kept thinking about his elder brother Xiang Zhen's sneer. Well, and his contemptuous eyes. Somehow, he felt a chill in his vest.

It was not until he saw the barracks of the front army in the Imperial Camp and the soldiers guarding the door that he felt a little relieved.

So what about big brother?

Now you have no power or power. The soldiers you trained will become mine and my father's. You can only go to the camp of Lianhua Mountain in shame and squat down. But this time, I don't know where to get money to train your soldiers? Do you expect your father to allocate you money? Well, the money must be given, and there will definitely be compensation, but I'm afraid that it will not be so easy for you to get this army again.

As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel proud, turned over and dismounted, threw the reins to the guards at the barracks' door. While walking in, he said: "Notify the heads and generals of the battalions and deputy generals to go to the lobby to discuss."

Some of the personal soldiers around him quickly turned around and informed the generals of each battalion.

There were 20,000 troops in the front of the Imperial Camp, half of whom were stationed outside the city, while the other half were stationed in the city, responsible for the security and order maintenance of the entire Guangzhou city.

Several braziers were burned in the lobby, making the inside warm. Xiang Zheng sat behind the big table, drinking sober soup while thinking about the people and things he heard at the banquet today.

Although these people regarded the Guangzhou court as the truth and denounced Chang'an Li Ze as a traitor who planned to usurp the throne, they had never gathered in Guangzhou City so neatly.

The pressure brought by Li Ze was getting bigger and bigger. Everyone had already felt Li Ze's mountain-like body and his eyes that were colder than Bing, and were staring at them sharply in Chang'an.

They were really anxious.

Even Rongguan and Guiguan, which are still far away from Chang'an, have already felt the ubiquitous influence of the Northern Tang Dynasty.

If Li Ze issued a decree in Chang'an at this time and was willing to recognize the status of these people and ensure their power, I am afraid that these people will immediately lose their previous position and bow to Chang'an, a guy they have repeatedly scolded, the Guangzhou court will immediately collapse.

What Xiang Zheng didn't understand was that Li Ze could do this easily, but he just didn't. He didn't even leave any opportunities for negotiations for these governors.

When this man ascended the throne, he issued an order to these southern governors, but this order was to order them to go to Chang'an to pay homage.

Who will go?

I am afraid that it will be a meat bun to beat the dog when I go there, and I will never come back again.

From then on, Li Ze had no other expression of intention.

Xiang Zheng once heard from his father that some of them still have people in Chang'an until now, hoping to get some promise from Li Ze, but they have gained nothing. Not to mention seeing Li Ze, even the important officials under Li Ze were unable to enter.

It is precisely because of the Chang'an court's resolute attitude that these governors gathered in Guangzhou City in desperation to discuss a solution for their future.

How can I imagine other ways?

There is only one way, that is, resisting rule by force.

Whoever has a hard fist will naturally speak louder.

The clanging sound of armor leaves colliding outside pulled Xiang Zheng's thoughts back from the memories of today's banquet. He put down the empty soup bowl, sat upright, and looked at the two rows of generals entering from outside with sharp eyes.

"Where is Chen Xu?" He snorted coldly in his nostrils, "Why haven't you come yet?"

A general who was the first to step into the door bowed and said, "General, Chen Xu had a stomachache at noon today. In half a day, he went to the toilet seven or eight times. Now he is as soft as noodles, so he can only take leave to the general."

"Why didn't Xiang Yong come? Could it be that he had a stomachache?"

"General Xiang Yong did not get a bad stomach, but he was drunk and lost consciousness!" The general who spoke before laughed, "The general couldn't wake him up!"

Xiang Zheng looked at the talking general with his eyes slanted and said coldly: "Cheng Zilong, as the deputy general of the Imperial Camp, I have been away for such a day. These things happened. How did you control the military camp?"

Cheng Zilong smiled and clasped his fists and said, "General, Chen Xu, Xiang Yong and others have always followed your orders. They always listened to my words. I want to engage in military law in their hands, but I am afraid that the general will blame him, so I have to turn a blind eye."

Xiang Zheng's eyes twitched, and he felt that Cheng Zilong was a little strange today. This person was gentle and did not fight or fight. In addition, he was older, so his father asked him to work with him and use his old qualifications in the Lingnan Army to help him stabilize the situation. He has always cooperated very well. Why did he speak so sarcastically today? I'm afraid he has suffered a lot of cowardly anger from Chen Xu and Xiang Yong.

Thinking of this, my heart slowed down and said, "Okay, if you don't come, don't come, it's no big deal! Now that the governors from all walks of life gather in Guangzhou City to discuss the plan to fight against the Li thieves in Chang'an. Such things cannot be hidden, and the spies in Chang'an will definitely not watch our plan come true, and they will destroy it at will. Although the Palace Front Office has increased its efforts, our Imperial Camp Front Army is responsible for the defense and order maintenance of Guangzhou City. Therefore, during this period, everyone has opened their eyes widened, and the patrol shifts have doubled. We must patrol all day without blind spots and cooperate with the Palace Front Office. When there is a warning, we will help us quickly get people. During this period, all generals are not allowed to leave the military camp and stand by me in the camp."

The general under the tent looked at Xiang Zheng, but said nothing.

"Why, are you all deaf?" Xiang Zheng looked at everyone with some annoyance, only to feel that a person's face suddenly became abominable.

Suddenly, there were dense footsteps, the collision of weapons and the exclamations of personal guards.

After all, Xiang Zheng was the one who led the army. In an instant, cold sweat broke out, and the drunkenness disappeared. Suddenly, he understood what happened?

No wonder Chen Xu and Xiang Yong were not seen.

"Cheng Zilong, do you want to rebel?" He jumped up and pulled out the sword next to the big case.

Cheng Zilong laughed loudly, pulled out his knife with a clang, and approached: "General, General Xiang Zhen asked me to bring you a word, ****, you shouldn't stay where he can't."

"Fuck, you are looking for death!" Xiang Zheng rushed over with his knife.

This is the location of the Central Army camp of the Imperial Camp Front Army. As long as he rushes out of this room, he still has great potential.

"General, I advise you not to fight the trapped beasts. On the day you are away, we have done everything we should do." Cheng Zilong smiled and waved his sword and pressed him up.

Many generals in the house rushed up.

Even though Xiang Zheng had three heads and six arms, he was beaten by a group of generals in such a small space in the house. After a few strokes, he was shot down his weapons and pressed them to the ground, and tied up four horses with their feet.

"Cheng Zilong, I want to cut you into pieces!" Xiang Zheng, who was lying on the ground, roared angrily: "Master-in-law will not let you go."

Cheng Zilong sneered.

He turned around and faced the generals in the house and said, "According to General Xiang's orders, the troops of the front army of the Imperial Camp immediately surrounded the inns where the governors lived in various places. Remember, you must not disturb these noble people, just not allow them to leave the inn."

"Abide by the order!"
