Chapter 1: Greatly Unwise

After hearing this, Zhang Ba's expression became even more ugly. He never expected that the leader of the army was really two low-level teams. What made him even more awesome was that these two veterans were able to gather tens of thousands of people to follow them to cause trouble, including commanders, commanders and other intermediate officials, but he couldn't guarantee that he could do this.

"Please lead all the generals to welcome you!" Qi Chong was stunned when he saw Zhang Ba, and he saluted again.

"I don't mean to be against you... I just don't dare to leave the defense!" Zhang Ba hurriedly replied after hearing this, but he still found a reason for himself, but he also thought this reason was really ridiculous.

"Master, Your Majesty has been in charge of Xiangyang for thousands of miles from Huaibei. Although the war is urgent, he should not forget his duty!" Qi Chong said loudly again.

"I... I summoned all the troops to go to Fancheng to welcome the emperor's deity, but there were some twists and turns, so it was difficult to make a journey for the time being!" Zhang Ba was asked and his tongue was flushed and he pondered for a long time before explaining.

"The Du Shuai's words were hard to convince the public. The cannons roared in Fancheng this morning, and the reconnaissance cavalry kept conveying messages, but our army did not move, and did not send troops to respond or assist the war. I wonder if Du Shuai was intentionally stopped by the way or wanted to take advantage of the situation to rob!" Hu Decai was not so polite when he spoke and asked loudly.

"I am loyal to the country, not malicious, but just waiting for the opportunity to fight!" Zhang Ba heard his words and understood that the troops did not know the inside story of the front line. He just analyzed and guessed based on what he saw, and he felt a little broad-minded and said with a stern face.

"The position of the Du Shuai is low, and I am confused about the plan of Du Shuai. I would like to give you advice." Hu Decai sneered and said angrily, "I wonder if Du Shuai wants to wait for the guards to be defeated before sending troops to rescue the guards, or if he wants to wait until the casualties are all gone before going to protect the guards?"

"Rareless, how can you reveal the major military affairs casually!" Zhang Ba was also annoyed and shouted sternly after being questioned repeatedly.

"Since the general of the country refused to send troops, we will be arrogant and ask for trouble after we welcome the emperor!" After Hu Decai gave his salute, he turned to face the army and said, "As the saying goes, 'Eat the king's fortune, the matter of loyalty to the king'. Brothers in the army, Your Majesty is trapped in Fancheng. As a soldier of the Song Dynasty, how can we sit down and see Your Majesty be in danger?"

"Brothers, are you willing to go and protect your car?" Qi Chongzhuan shouted.

"Welcome the Holy Driving, welcome the Holy Driving..." The soldiers from behind raised their guns and echoed in unison.

"Okay, then we go to Fancheng to protect our car immediately!" Hu Decai pressed his hands and said loudly.

"You can tell that inciting mutiny and committing accomplices and rebellion, you should kill nine clans!" Zhang Ba was shocked and said intimidation.

"The Lord is safe, we will apologize before binding the tent!" Qi Chong replied.

While speaking, the soldiers who wanted to go to the guards began to prepare to leave the camp. Most of the people involved in this matter were lower-level officers, but they were the backbone of the army. They elected two veterans as the commanders and reorganized the team in an orderly manner. They formed more than ten battalions according to the stance, artillery, and cavalry to form a formation. Some observers also tied white scarves and joined temporarily, making the team stronger.

"Close the gate of the village, and no orders for those who trespassed!" Zhang Ba said loudly when he saw that the situation had lost control. However, there were only a few responders, and those soldiers who did not participate in the "mutine" remained silent and did not respond.

"You go and restrain your soldiers and generals. They are not allowed to leave the camp. If you violate the order, you will be killed without mercy!" Zhang Ba saw that the "mutineering" soldiers had already opened the gate of the village and lowered the suspension bridge. He shouted at the heads of the divisions behind him.

"We are all handsome, we are all robes, how can we shoot at them!" Ma Ling shook his head and said after hearing this.

"It is our duty to serve the king and welcome the emperor. It is an unforgivable crime to let Your Majesty take risks. You can't make any mistakes anymore!" Song Lian lowered his head and said ashamed.

"They are handsome, you must not be strong, otherwise it will cause a mutiny and we will be a death sentence!" Zhang Huai said in a panic.

"Oh, wait for Your Majesty to ask for the crime!" Zhang Ba looked at the generals, his anger turned into helplessness and despair, and waved his hand dejectedly.

The generals watched the team fall down from the suspension bridge and the royal army leave the city one after another, and were all despaired, knowing that the matter was completely out of their control. As chief officials at all levels, whether they advocated the welcome or treated negatively, they were all guilty and blameless, and their days of leading the troops had come to an end.

"Stop moving forward, stop moving forward!" Just as everyone was extremely frustrated, they suddenly rushed over, surpassing the team leaving the city, crossing the horse in front, shouting loudly.

"It's Du Yuhou!" Zhang Huai, who was sharp-eyed, saw the person and exclaimed.

"Marquis Du Yu stopped the team, but the soldiers were excited. Will they listen to him?" Ma Ling secretly felt worried about him, but when things turned around, he still felt hopeful.

"Oh, it's just a mantis arm that is just a chariot. How could he, a civil servant, stop these reckless soldiers? I'm afraid he'll take him with me!" Song Lian looked at Xie Ming shouting in front of the team, but he couldn't hear clearly. He seemed so thin to stop him alone, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"Just just ask him not to put down the wrong person!" Zhang Ba smiled bitterly. He wanted to drag him into the muddy water to share the responsibility, but he didn't expect that the situation would be out of control before he arrived. Now if he gained power, he would step on himself hard...

Xie Ming was the capital of Yuhou, the 8th Army of the Imperial Army, and was in charge of the entire army's political order. However, he was not very harmonious with Zhang Ba, especially when he had differences on the matter of facing the chariot. He firmly opposed the abandonment of Fancheng, and was under house arrest in the rear army, and he was excluded from the decision-making level. When he learned that the army had "muelred" and had only had time to briefly understand the situation, he arrived at the horse, but it seemed that it was still a little late.

"You know what kind of crime is it for you to disrespect military orders and commit crimes from the following? "Xie Ming stopped the team and shouted loudly.

"Marquis Du Yu, we know that we are guilty of death. But Your Majesty is the son of heaven. Shangguan also knows that without Your Majesty, there will be no new Song today, and the body of a thousand gold will not be damaged at all. If we can protect Your Majesty, why should we be pity!" Hu Decai bowed and said.

"You are sincere to Your Majesty. I am very pleased and worried about Your Majesty's safety. However, this cannot be a reason for us to violate the laws and regulations of the country, and it is also the original intention of Your Majesty to formulate the iron laws in the army." Xie Mingyan said.

"We all know what Du Yuhou said. But His Majesty is close to you, and the Du Zheng gathers the entire army, and he refuses to send troops to welcome him or go to help the war. Although we don't know his intentions, we have violated the way of his ministers. It is helpless for the troops to disobey the orders and go out of the camp. Please do not impose any obstacles, so that His Majesty will be in danger!" Hu Decai replied with a smile.

Xie Ming had a good reputation among the Eighth Army and was very prestigious among the new and old officers and soldiers. Especially when the General's Office entered Qiong, he took the initiative to contact him and merged the General's Office with his brother Xie Fu led the rebel army into the General's Office, and provided a lot of help in the early stages of his entry into Qiong. Therefore, the old man in the General's Office knew that his brother was trusted by His Majesty, so he did not use his strength to block him, but expressed his feelings.

"You may not know yet. Your Majesty has ordered the Imperial Guards Brigade to capture Fancheng today. Under the command of Ni Dushu, the city was broken in the second half of the day. The enemy defender Shi Bi abandoned the city and fled to Xiangyang. The Holy Lord was safe!" Xie Ming knew that Zhang Ba intentionally concealed the true situation of the Holy Lord and his party, so that the troops loyal to Your Majesty did not understand the truth. In desperation, he took the risk to disobey the order.

However, Xie Ming was also full of doubts about what Zhang Ba did at this time. The reason why His Majesty set up two chief officials in the army to take charge of military and political affairs was that they had the intention of mutual restraint and surveillance. After Zhang Ba became increasingly domineering after serving on military power, he deliberately cut off his source of information. He even monopolized military power on the grounds that he was in charge of military affairs, deprived him of his power to participate in military affairs.

After learning that Your Majesty had personally conquered Xiangyang, Zhang Ba became even more aggressive, leaving him in the rear army and put him under house arrest in Dengcheng in disguise. If there was no change in the army today, he would still know nothing about having arrived in Fancheng and breaking the city alone. However, he learned that he had gathered the entire army in Dengcheng, but he sat still to watch the guards and guards attacked the city alone. His intention was to wait for both His Majesty and the Mongol Yuan to kill, or had other intentions, which could make people doubt it.

"Your Majesty has broken Fancheng?! What Du Yuhou said is true?" Hu Decai and Qi Chong looked at each other, both surprised, and asked again.

"It should be true. The news has been confirmed by the siege cavalry for many years. If the attack fails, people will be sent to the camp for help even if they drive." Xie Ming nodded.

"Haha, God bless the Song Dynasty, God bless Your Majesty!" Hu Decai and Qi Chong hugged each other and laughed, shouting to the sky.

"Your Majesty is mighty, Your Majesty is mighty, Your Majesty is mighty!" The soldiers shouted in unison when they heard this, and their morale was greatly boosted.

"Although Your Majesty is now taking Fancheng, it is only a river from Xiangyang. And Your Majesty comes from far away and has just passed the fierce battle, so there will be no one to be trapped. However, Xiangyang has stationed 100,000 troops, and the enemy in Nanyang is also eyeing him, and the driving is still in danger. Let's go to Fancheng to protect the carriage." Qi Chong shouted to the troops.

"Protect the car, protect the car, protect the car!"

"Don't clamor all the soldiers. Listen to my words, it's not too late for me to travel with the soldiers!" Seeing the soldiers excited, Xie Ming was very anxious and shouted loudly.

"Okay, let's listen to Du Yuhou." Hu Decai also knew that what he did was wrong. He insisted on his own initiative and might harm everyone. If this matter could be properly resolved, it would be appropriate, so he waved his hand to make the troops feel at ease.

"Captain Hu, let's talk." Xie Ming jumped off the horse and pointed at the edge of the road, instead of looking for an empty space beside him, "You are eager to protect the enemy. I understand you very much and admire your courage. However, if you go there, there is no emperor's order and no commander. It is contrary to military law. You can imagine the consequences when you go there rashly."

"The officials of the lower lords are naturally clear, but Zhang Ba has ulterior motives. He is just a short distance from the lord and has tens of thousands of troops in his hand. I am really worried about the safety of the lord, so I have to do so. After the matter is finished, I will apologize before the lord and commit suicide to thank the army. I will not make your majesty embarrassed." Hu Decai said with a chuckling.
