Chapter 131 Incitement
Those military men were all veterans. When they heard Zhao Yingong's words, they naturally would not seek any loss in front of them. The person in charge quickly replied: "We are all convinced."
"What do you have to report to me?"
The military men looked at each other, and one of them was vaguely the leader asked boldly: "We dared to ask the previous question, when will we return to Mingzhou after capturing this Yuezhou city?"
It turned out that these people were the soldiers who were defeated by Zisheng before. They heard that Zisheng's accent was very different from that of the locals. They had such martial arts skills, so they thought they were the people of the Zhenhai Army's Wuyongdu, and they killed their robes because of their jealousy. So the people were so painful that they gathered a few good people in their daily lives to find the soldiers in Wuyongdu to seek justice. Who knew that those soldiers in Wuyongdu not only did not hand over the murderer, but instead retorted, without a few words, and fought again. Such things were very common outside Yuezhou City these days, and there were seventeen or eighteen days.
But in the end, when the Mingzhou army mocked Wu Yong for being defeated by the Huainan Army (Qian Miao's martial arts were mainly composed of Sun Ru's defeated soldiers who fled western Zhejiang after the failure of the Huainan War), and when they returned to the army, they would definitely die without a burial place. The soldiers of Wu Yongdu retorted that the Mingzhou army would also advance west with them to deal with the Huainan Army. At that time, it would be up to who would die without a burial place?
The soldiers of Mingzhou soldiers who heard this immediately looked dissatisfied. They were originally soldiers in Mingzhou, so it would be fine to go to the adjacent Yuezhou to fight Dong Chang's fallen dog, but they would rather go away from home and abandon their wife's house to resist the Huainan army, which was like a wolf and a tiger, so how willing they would be? Moreover, the Huainan army is still hundreds of miles away from Mingzhou, and there is no intention to invade Mingzhou. So the soldiers who returned to the army immediately ran to the commander's tent, connected their robes, wanted to make noise, and forced Zhao Yingong to lead them back to Mingzhou.
When Zhao Yingong heard the question from the leader, he felt angry. The most important difference in the army was, how could the soldiers openly question the commander when they would return to the army? What's more, he himself didn't know. He was about to order the man in the leader to be dragged down and beat him to death with sticks, but the rest of the camp was inserted into the arrows, but he heard a burst of voices from not far away, and it seemed that the two teams of people had clashed.
Zhao Yingong was surprised and suspicious, but saw that the duty team on duty was running back from the other side of the sound that night, with his armor disorganized, and shouting: "Not good, no good."
When Zhao Yingong heard the team's shouting, he stepped forward and kicked the team to the ground, cursing: "You dog, what's wrong? Just pull your tongue straight and make it clear, otherwise you must chop your head."
The team was still in shock, and lay on the ground and burst out like a cannon in their mouths: "The soldiers in the camp mutiny, and there were afraid that there would be more than a thousand people. They all said they were unwilling to fight with the Huainan army, and they just wanted the general to lead them back to Mingzhou."
Zhao Yingong seemed to have thundered on the head, and was shocked on the spot. There were a Tang Dynasty, where all the soldiers were arrogant and powerful. If the soldiers were not satisfied, they would either hold them back or kill the commander, plunder thousands of miles, which was extremely harmful. In the distance, the Jingyuan mutiny rushed the emperor to patrol Xichuan, and the closer ones Pang Xun also had hundreds of garrison soldiers. As a result, the grain transportation was cut off. The court tried its best and finally invited Shatuo soldiers to pacify the mutiny. These were all soldiers who were sent to guard the distance, but they became dissatisfied and rebelled.
The first thing that the rebels did in this mutiny was to kill or hold the commander hostage. When Zhao Yingong thought of this, he seemed to see his head hanging on the flagpole next to him. He was very strict in his military administration and many soldiers in the army had been punished by him. At this time, many people must have wanted to take the opportunity to take revenge.
"What is the situation in that Yue army? Is there any unstable situation?" Zhao Yingong quickly asked the team. If even this trusted unit participated in the mutiny, his only way out would be to escape to Gu Quan's military camp.
"That's not. The Chuyue Army is very quiet, but it's very noisy just now, and I can't see clearly." The team was recalling the situation just now, but the more he thought about it, the more uncertain he became. After all, he was already confused just now, and it was really impossible to determine whether the Chuyue Army soldiers had participated in the mutiny.
"Forget it, let's go to Gu Quanwu's place." Zhao Yingong made up his mind and was about to turn around and escape from the rear camp gate, but was pulled by the deputy general.
"What are you doing? Why don't you leave quickly? It's too late to wait for the rebel soldiers to surround you?" Zhao Yingong asked the deputy general in a panic look with a strange look on his face.
The general's face was full of mysterious smile: "Why do you want to escape? Isn't this a good opportunity for you to wait for a long time?"
"Good opportunity?" Zhao Yingong was stunned when he heard this. He had not yet reminiscent of the meaning of the deputy general.
"Originally, the general returned to Mingzhou to seize the position of governor, but he was always worried that the army would not be fulfilled. Now his morale is boiling. Isn't this a good opportunity?"
Zhao Yingong was not a fool, but he was a little confused by the emergency situation of rebellion. He immediately understood the meaning of the deputy general, his face was full of joy, and he patted the deputy general's shoulder and smiled: "If Bo is in the seven-pointed heart, if I can take over Mingzhou, Jiu Chenggong will thank Bo Ru for his ingenuity." He was proud and called his deputy general.
The deputy general's surname is Li Mingzhu, whose courtesy name is Boru, was named Xing, and was Zhao Yingong's confidant. At this time, he stepped forward and lowered his voice: "I would like to ask the general to recruit all the generals and subordinates of Huang Sheng, especially the confidants of Huang Sheng, and there must be no one left behind."
Zhao Yingong had already fully understood Li Boru's thoughts at this time and said with a smile: "Mysterious, it's just used as a letter of fame. I have endured the idleness of these bastards these days. When I think about it, they are of some use."
Li Boru replied, "The general is indeed enlightened, and the last general means this." When he said this, the two looked at each other and laughed, but their smiles were full of murderous intentions.
Zhao Yingong's Mingzhou army was stationed on a flat ground east of Yuezhou City. According to the Tang Dynasty military system, when siege the city, the barracks should be separated and covered each other. Zhao Yingong's commander's tent was located at the end of the Mingzhou army, and was with his personal barracks. The Yue army, who was close to the left, was on the left.
At this moment, in the open space outside the personal military camp, thousands and soldiers had surrounded the camp gate and kept rushing into the camp. The dozens of personal soldiers guarding the entrance of the camp tried desperately to suppress them. Behind the protective wall of the camp, there were a hundred crossbowmen holding powerful crossbows, for the sake of the situation. The captain of the personal military camp was pale and complained in his belly that why Zhao Yingong had not fled everywhere in the Yue army, so he could escape and not have to hold on here. Although he was also preparing a powerful crossbowman behind him, he could easily disperse these gangs of soldiers, but once he saw blood, it would be a consequence of a mutiny. Although the people outside were not wearing armor and spears, there were horizontal swords around his waist, and their camp was only half inside and outside. Once he came back, there were huge differences in the number of people, and he could definitely not resist it.
The captain was panicked and suddenly heard the footsteps of the people behind him. When he turned around, he saw that Zhao Yingong led all the generals and generals of the Mingzhou Army, as well as the supervisors, came over. Zhao Yingong looked calm, and there was even a smile on the corner of his mouth. When the captain saw the chief general, a stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. No matter what, the person in charge was not himself.
Zhao Yingong walked out of the camp first, but saw that the crowd was not coming. The surging waves of people kept pressing down on the wall of personal soldiers, and there was a possibility of collapse at any time. The faces of the soldiers who were so close were flushed and their faces were full of resentment and despair. The rows of people in front saw Zhao Yingong coming out and squeezed harder, and they were shouting loudly, but there were too many people and they were noisy. Zhao Yingong couldn't hear clearly what he was saying.
Zhao Yingong looked left and right, then turned around and climbed onto the guard wall of the camp gate so that the people behind could see him clearly. The chaotic soldiers in the distance saw Zhao Yingong coming out, and their mouths opened and closed as if they were saying something, but they were suppressed by the voice of their companions. They couldn't hear clearly, so they calmed down one after another and stopped crowding. After a while, Qian and others stopped.
Zhao Yingong saw the chaotic soldiers vaguely divided into three parts on the high ground, or according to their respective subordinates, and did not see the familiar soldiers of the Yue army. His heart suddenly became three points. Seeing that the soldiers gradually became quiet, Zhao Yingong shouted loudly: "Why are you not resting in your own camps, but come here to gather people to clamor? Could it be that the general's kindness is uneven, and some people have not been rewarded for their merits?"
Zhao Yingong was quite stiff and stood on a high place again. At this time, everyone calmed down. The few people behind him heard his shouts clearly.
The soldiers shouted loudly, saying that it was not that the kindness and reward were too low, but that they had been on the expedition for a long time and missed the countryside at home, and were unwilling to fight with Yang Xingmi's Huainan army and wanted to go back to Mingzhou.
Zhao Yingong was secretly happy, but his face was shocked, and he replied loudly: "But Huang envoy had an order first, saying that he would lead his troops to go west with Gu Shuai to resist the Huainan army. All of our family members stayed in Mingzhou. Isn't this a rebellion?"
The more than a thousand people below suddenly burst into a swearing sound. Zhao Yingong's words seemed to throw a spark in a gunpowder barrel. The soldiers shouted: "Rebel, turn around, kill back to Mingzhou." A burly man in front rushed out of the guard circle of the personal military camp, ran to the protective wall where Zhao Yingong stood, and shouted with his head raised his head and said: "Go west to fight with the Huainan army. I wonder how many of these three thousand brothers can return to their hometown. If you go back to Mingzhou, you will die. It is better to go back to Mingzhou and still be buried in your hometown. After death, you can get some memorial service. You don't have to be a lonely ghost. General Zhao, please take us back, and I will recommend you to be the governor of Mingzhou." When the soldiers heard the man's roar, they immediately burst out with the roar of governor Zhao.
