In any case, it is impossible for them to publicly abandon more than 40,000 dependents, otherwise the morale of the military will directly collapse.

The best way is to separate the family members and the three thousand generals first. Then, whether it is through coercion, inducement, or deception, it will be relatively easy to take the three thousand generals to Yueyang alone.

Now, if three thousand generals are ordered to abandon their closest relatives and flee to Yueyang with them, as long as a few are unwilling, it will cause a huge disturbance.

Chen Mingsheng arranged for two Longque soldiers who had escaped from Shaozhou to be tortured according to military law. They continued to stay in the lobby to discuss the details of the westward retreat. It was not known how long it had passed before a faint noise could be heard outside.

After a while, the noise became louder and louder, and it seemed like countless people were rushing towards them.

"what happened?"

Many people in the lobby looked at each other, not knowing what was happening outside.

"Master Marquis, General Chen," at this time, the small school guard camp who was guarding the yard outside rushed in and reported, "Twenty soldiers just broke into the execution ground and wanted to kidnap the two Shaozhou deserters.

, Commander Xue returned with his face bruised and bruised..."

Yuan Guowei was stunned for a long time, but he didn't expect that things would get worse before he could move his family to Maoshan. Only then did he realize that it was already dawn outside, and a whole night had passed since they were discussing things in the lobby. Time really

As fast as a white horse passing through a gap.

"These rebels are about to rebel. I'm so angry!" At this time, a captain with a bruised nose and swollen face came in. His burly breastplate was half torn, and he walked into the lobby in a state of embarrassment and reported to him carefully.

Just now, he led his men to kill the two deserters who had returned from Shaozhou in public to shock people. He never thought that their family members would rush to the execution ground. When he was ordering his men to beat out the escaped soldiers who were causing trouble in the ritual,

The soldiers and their families who were watching, and more people participated in the agitation, so he had to withdraw first, but the fleeing soldiers had been kidnapped.

"What nonsense, Chen Mingsheng, gather all the generals' personal guards immediately!" Li Pu stood up and slapped the case, knowing that at this time he was a little merciful and the whole army would mutiny, so Chen Mingsheng immediately gathered all the generals' personal guards.

, directly suppressing the commotion.

All the generals' guards and horses were near the mansion. Chen Mingsheng went out in person and quickly gathered 300 elite troops. Li Pu, wearing armor and holding a halberd, rode on horseback and personally led 300 elite cavalry to the execution ground where hundreds of rebels and their families were gathering in a restless manner.

Rush over.

Military attachés at all levels were still people from the Xinchang Hou Mansion. Even though the generals suffered heavy casualties due to Chuzhou's calculations, Li Pu's prestige in the army was still there at this time.

Seeing Li Pu coming on horseback wearing armor and holding a halberd, people gathered along the road to watch. The soldiers and families who were hesitant to join in the agitation retreated one after another and made way for the passage to the execution ground.

There was also a battalion commander here who reacted one step ahead and led more than a hundred generals to surround the dozens of generals and their families who were causing trouble in a house with a collapsed courtyard wall, waiting for Li Pu and Chen Mingsheng to come and deal with it.

After coming over and seeing that the situation was under control, Li Pu felt a little relieved. He looked at the general who was controlling the situation with admiration, and then drove his horse to the courtyard wall that collapsed with a huge gap. Although the tiger's eyes were old, their sparkle was still there.

, he slowly glanced at the disorderly soldiers in the yard and the surrounding soldiers and family members, and raised his voice:

"Those who run away from the battle shall be punished by military law and be executed; those who rob the court and stir up chaos in the army shall be executed by military laws. I, Li Pu, am here, and the deserters in the courtyard are in chaos. What else can you say?"

Chen Mingsheng signaled the two teams of archers to come forward and gather in front of the gap in the courtyard wall, preparing to directly shoot the rebel soldiers and family members who were surrounded in the courtyard. He wanted to use this bloody method to break the morale of the army that might collapse at any time.

Barely able to survive.

"Some people say that the Marquis wants to abandon everyone's children again and run away alone. Is this true?"

Someone in the crowd of onlookers finally shouted and asked unwillingly.

Li Pu's face turned gloomy. He could see the deepest doubts in the hearts of many generals in this question. Although he had never stated that he wanted to withdraw, but he was unaware of the military attachés below, so the soldiers would not be suspicious.

After all, the root cause of the disaster was the hasty withdrawal from Qiuhu Mountain last time. Li Pu could not defend himself at all. He did not need to defend himself. He glanced sharply at the place where the voice came from and asked: "Who dares to confuse the public with evil words and disturb the morale of our military?"

A strong man with a strong back and a strong back came out. He would not be a coward. He stood up and said: "I just heard people talking about this, and I just want to ask for an explanation."

However, as soon as he stood up, several burly men on the left and right rushed out like wolves and tigers at Chen Mingsheng's signal, grabbed him, and punched him first, beating him until his nose was black and his eyes were swollen, and he was interrupted several times.

A tooth was spit out with blood, making it difficult for him to speak even a single sentence.

Li Pu said: "If you use evil words to confuse the public and disrupt the morale of our army, you should be executed according to military law."

Hearing what Li Pu said, both sides immediately threw the big man through the gap into the surrounded courtyard.

"Who else dares to confuse the public with evil words? I will execute these deserters on the spot. Who is dissatisfied?" Li Pu stared at the surroundings and asked again. The power of this moment gave him some illusions. It seemed that

Everything is still under his control.

"Master Li!"

At this time, a soft call came from the corner, and the voice was so familiar that Li Pu suspected that he was hallucinating at this moment.

Yuan Guowei's heart trembled at the moment when he saw a familiar figure wearing a gray-white linen robe and walking out of a courtyard.

Han Qian!

Before this, Yuan Guowei could not have imagined that Han Qian was in Runzhou or Yanlingbu at this moment, even if he cut his brain open.

How can it be?

Yuan Guowei subconsciously reached out to wipe his cloudy old eyes, thinking that he was so discouraged and disappointed with the current situation that he was hallucinating.

If Han Qian was not in Xuzhou to pay tribute to Han Daoxun, and even refused to go to Yueyang after returning from Shu, how could he be in Runzhou?

"Han Qian!" Li Pu stared at Han Qian who appeared in Xiaoyan wearing mourning clothes in disbelief, and subconsciously screamed out.

His shout was like thunder striking down, causing all the soldiers and children watching on the left and right to wake up. They all looked towards the door of the courtyard where Han Qian came out. Who was it if it wasn't Han Qian?

From the beginning of the recruitment of hungry people, Han Qian built a workshop in Qiuhu Mountain. While recruiting hungry people to work, he assisted Shen Yang in building the garrison. During the Jingxiang War, Han Qian even visited the city wall more frequently than Yang Yuanpu to ensure that no one

There will be mistakes somewhere.

Although Han Qian did not want to highlight his achievements in guarding Xichuan and quickly reducing the feudal vassalage to avoid arousing jealousy, the ordinary generals of the Longque Army still recognized him in a simple and real way.

What's more, Han Qian also personally controls Jinyun Tower, the core intelligence collection and reconnaissance department of the Dragon Bird Army, Prince Tan's Mansion.

After the wars between Jingxiang and the vassal reduction, the soldiers who were recruited as captured soldiers may still be a little unfamiliar with Han Qian, but who among the generals and children who came from the Taowu Jitunying Military Mansion did not recognize Han Qian?

"It's Lord Han, it's Han who is engaged, it's Han who joins the army!" Everyone cheered, and the sound was so strong that Li Pu's face became gloomy, and he couldn't even ask what Han Qian's intention was when he appeared in Runzhou wearing a mourning robe.

Zhao Wuji and Kong Xirong walked out of the yard with others, wanting to protect Han Qian behind them to prevent Li Pu from jumping over the wall and doing harm to Han Qian.

Han Qian, however, walked towards Li Pu without fear, waving his hands to signal the soldiers and family members on his left and right to quiet down, standing in the morning light, looking at Li Pu, Chen Mingsheng and others said:

"The Marquis of Xinchang, Lipu Pu, and the captain of the guard palace, Chen Mingsheng, was too timid to fight and abandoned Qiuhu Mountain first. As a result, ten thousand of his generals were captured and killed by the rebels of Anning Palace. He was also gullible and incompetent, and used them as bait for Chuzhou.

We lost 4,000 troops and lost the city of Danyang. Your Highness is extremely disappointed with you two, and hereby issued an order to Han Qian to rush to Runzhou, remove your command of the army, take charge of it, and send you back to Yueyang as soon as possible.

Accept the punishment!”

Li Pu's old face turned red. He knew that Han Qian was talking nonsense. For such an important personnel change, even if Han Qian acted quickly, he could not get the news in advance, and it was impossible for Yang Yuanpu not to give Han Qian a handwriting.

Chen Mingsheng was not willing to have his military power taken away by the so-called "oral order" so easily. He held his sword in front of him and asked sternly: "It is a taboo for military officers to change generals before the battle. You did not carry out the order of the Privy Council and did not have the order of His Highness. With that,

What replaces us?”

"Those who believe in me, please head east of the street!" Han Qian ignored Li Pu and Chen Mingsheng's doubts, looked at the generals on the left and right, and said loudly, "Although I am not sure that I will bring everyone out of this predicament, Han Qian

As long as I don’t die, I will never escape first. If I violate this oath, I will be punished by being quartered on five horses!”

Dismemberment by five horses is a word that most people present are unwilling to mention and are strictly prohibited from mentioning, but it is like a bolt of lightning that strikes into the depths of countless people's souls.

Han Daoxun's death was so unjust, even the illiterate low-level generals knew it clearly in their hearts.

"If you believe Master Han, please stand on the east side of the street!"

"If you believe Master Han, please stand on the east side of the street!"

"If you believe Master Han, please stand on the east side of the street!"

Zhao Wuji, Kong Xirong, Wei Chang, Shi Ji and others started shouting impatiently. In the morning light that had not yet fully lit up, the small figures of the generals and family members were still somewhat dark, and they all rushed towards the east side of the street like a tide.

The long street along the river in Zhenbu is wider on the west side facing the river. There are only a few military attaches and generals who came from the Xinchang Hou Mansion. There are even many military attaches and generals. Standing on the long street, their hearts are surging.

Eastern impulse.

"Master Hou, Lao Ning is sorry for you, Master Hou!" A big and angry man walked from the west side of the street to the long street, kowtowed three times to the Marquis of Xinchang, then quickly got up and stood on the east side of the long street.

.

Then more than 20 people stood up and kowtowed to Xinchang Hou Li Pu, and then walked to the east side of the long street.

Li Pu's expression was extremely ugly. He did not expect that the elites he had trained in Xinchang Houfu would betray him at this moment.

Yuan Guowei could see that these people were all grassroots military attachés at the rank of team leader. During the long-term conquests, they had formed a stronger life-and-death relationship with the lower-level generals in blood and fire. Moreover, they were direct descendants of the Xinchang Hou Mansion.

It also became clearer that Li Pu and Chen Mingsheng wanted to give up their family members. They had been struggling and conflicting the most in the past few days. The appearance of Han Qian strengthened their determination to break with the Xinchang Hou Mansion.

This is what people want.

"Master Li, Captain Chen, do you believe it now or not?" Han Qian looked at Xinchanghou Lippu and Chen Mingsheng again and asked.

Li Pu, the Marquis of Xinchang, looked at the sparse bodyguards with less than 200 people left around him, with a gloomy expression on his face.

"Master Li, Mr. Han probably had a hard time restraining his intention to kill you." Yuan Guowei persuaded in a suppressed voice.

Xinchang Hou Li Pu was shocked when he heard this. Although Han Qian's face was calm as if nothing had happened, Kong Xirong, Zhao Wuji and others behind Han Qian were full of murderous intent. He really wanted to continue arguing with Han Qian, forcing Han Qian to
Chapter completed!
