Chapter 978: The Coldness of the Heart

He didn't know where the other party was so bold that he dared to abandon himself and attack Shijo behind him, but even if he had such an opportunity, of course he would quickly strike to strive for more victories and greater victories.

Furukawa and Ning Wenfeng, the deputy commander-in-chief of the named soldiers, all responded with their fists, and then prepared to take the military order to transfer troops to attack the city. It's just that before the people walked out of the gate of the mansion, they saw a team of hundreds of brocade guards surrounding the place, and then Deng Qiang, the eunuch of the supervising army, appeared.

"What is this?" Seeing that the government was surrounded and the Jinyi guard appeared, the chief soldier Shi Wanshan's face changed slightly, looked at Deng Qiang who was coming, and asked sharply.

Gu He and Ning Wenfeng, who were getting the military order and wanted to leave the mansion, also looked at the eunuch Deng Qiang in puzzlement, and at the same time, their right hands also slowly touched their waists, and it could be seen that they were ready to shoot at any time.

"Don't get me wrong." Deng Qiang's face did not change color and his heart did not beat, as if he did not see the reaction of the two deputy commanders, and said to Shi Wanshan: "Chief Shi, my father-in-law has just received a secret order from General Manager Jin, and the soldiers of Xuanfu are not allowed to go out of the city, please don't embarrass people." ā€

After saying this, Deng Qiang beckoned to the Jinyi guards on the left and right and said: "Come on, guard every passage outside the mansion, without an order, the three general soldiers are not allowed to leave the mansion, otherwise they will be killed." ā€

After the brocade clothes dressed in flying fish costumes agreed, they quickly occupied all the main roads and completely controlled Shi Wanshan and the three of them in this small courtyard. After everything was done, Deng Qiang waved his hand again, and at that moment, several eunuchs and fathers-in-law served the good wine and food that had been prepared long ago and sent them to the table, and Deng Qiang was the first to find a place to sit down. "Hey, speaking of which, it's rare to have a good drink with the three generals, come on, sit down."

With a puzzled face, Guhe looked at Shi Wanshan several times and signaled what Shi Wanshan was going to do? Although it is true that there are Jinyi guards in this vicinity, this is not an imperial city after all, in this city, there are nearly 200,000 Northern Ming troops, they are available at any time, and they really can't scare them just by relying on these Jinyi guards. Even Furukawa only needs to shout one, and some nearby pro-soldiers, government soldiers, and nearby patrols will arrive one after another to help him control the overall situation.

Shi Wanshan naturally saw what Guhe meant, but he didn't agree to do so. Obviously, today's actions are not Deng Qiang's own intentions, but the meaning of Jin Ying, the chief eunuch, which is likely to be the emperor's intention, if he rushes out now, it will be no different from rebellion.

In ancient times, rebellion was a great sin, and it was to be punished by the nine tribes. There had never been such an idea, let alone such preparation, how could Shi Wanshan take such a risk. He gestured a look to Ning Wenfeng on the side, letting him be optimistic about Guhe's deputy commander-in-chief, and then he came to the table and sat opposite Deng Qiang, and asked in a deep voice, "Gonggong Deng, what does this mean?" Now the army of Wara and Yili is heading towards Shicheng, a big battle is inevitable, it is when we take advantage of the situation to attack, and soon Shajing and Jingzhou City will be owned by Beiming. ā€

"Hey." Deng Qiang sighed, he had been staying in the city, how could he not understand this truth. An hour ago, he also thought the same way, after all, the Xuanfu soldiers had made great contributions, and he, the eunuch of the prison army, also had a lot of benefits. But who would have thought that just now, a eunuch who suddenly came from the Jingshi Palace met with him, and took out a handwritten letter written by Jin Ying, which explained in detail that the Xuanfu soldiers should not take advantage of the situation to make trouble for Wara and Yili, otherwise they would be sabotaging the imperial court's plans. He also ordered that if Shi Wanshan and the three of them did not listen to persuasion, they could take it on the spot and escort them to Jingshi.

Under the express order, whether Deng Qiang accepts it or not, it must be implemented. In this way, there is such a thing now, and there is also a sigh from him now.

"Mr. Shi, we are just eating the emperor's food on errands, this is the order from above, all we have to do is obey, do you say yes?" Deng Qiang didn't explain anything, and he didn't know what to explain, so he could only press people with orders.

"What is it? Do you do nothing with a great opportunity to attack? Furukawa, the deputy chief soldier with an upright and fiery personality, also came over, and before anyone arrived, the voice of questioning came first.

Deng Qiang didn't get angry when he heard this, he just shook his head and said, "Whether it's an opportunity to attack, my father-in-law doesn't know, but even if there is an order from above, we have to abide by it, Deputy General Gu, do you want to disobey the order?" ā€

"I—" Furukawa wanted to defend something. Shi Wanshan on the side had already spoken up: "Okay, General Furukawa, restrain your temperament and don't be impatient." ā€

"Hehe, yes, yes, even if you send troops, it's not in a hurry at this time. Even if all the good wine and food are taken, there is no reason to waste it and not eat it. Ning Wenfeng, the other deputy chief soldier, smiled hehe, and sat down at the table casually, and picked up chopsticks, a picture of a large piece of food.

The clever Ning Wenfeng had already seen that the order above did not allow them to send troops. Instead of having to carry it hard and provoke anger, it is better to sit down and have a good chat and see if you can ask which link went wrong.

Shi Wanshan quickly understood what Ning Wenfeng meant, and also suppressed his anger in his heart. Furukawa was the only one left, and seeing that just standing by himself didn't make a difference, he simply sat down and drank in a big bowl to relieve the depression in his heart.

Shi Wanshan and Ning Wenfeng still raised their wine glasses to toast Deng Qiang very gracefully, and Deng Qiang's father-in-law, who knew what they meant, smiled wryly, "The two generals don't ask me what's going on, to be honest, I don't know." But if you think you can guess it, then what you guess is, that's it. This father-in-law only knows that the reinforcements sent by the emperor, the metropolitan governor Shi Heng are now leading troops to move forward in the area of Juyong Pass. ā€

When Deng Qiang said this, Shi Wanshan and Ning Wenfeng had nothing to say. It's just a message, but it's been told so much.

The reinforcements did not rush to arrive, but stopped, this is the attitude of the imperial court. In other words, they don't mean to start a war with Warat and Yili now, but they want to watch the tiger fight from a mountain.

It had only been a long time since the Warat coalition army had left, and news came from the imperial court, so it can be seen that this was not a sudden incident, but had been prepared for a long time. In other words, the Warat coalition army bypassed them and directly contacted the above, and even contacted the emperor, and got the desired result, otherwise, they would not be so relieved to ignore the back road and rush straight to Shicheng.

When they thought that it was this result, the faces of the four of them were not good-looking. This meal was also very unpleasant, and after a while, Deng Qiang left first. When he left, he also threw down a sentence, "Please stay in this mansion with three good soldiers, and if you need anything, even if it is a woman, you can tell the Jinyiwei brothers, and they will fulfill all wishes." ā€

This is tantamount to house arrest.

Deng Qiang left, and the brocade guards also disappeared from their sight. What can be imagined is that if they make any changes, I am afraid that they will immediately appear from the dark place. The three dignified three general soldiers with heavy troops were put under house arrest just when the big war was about to begin, and this unhappiness made Furukawa the first to get angry, threw the wine jar to the ground, opened his eyes wide, and shouted with his mouth wide open: "What's going on? What does that mean? Is this revenge? ā€

"Brother Gu said carefully." Shi Wanshan's face changed after hearing this. Ning Wenfeng on the side was even more direct, and with a palm cut, he hit the back of Guhe's neck, and directly knocked him out. This is also something that can't be helped, there are Jinyi guards all around, if some words are spread, not only Furukawa, but they are also guilty.

Furukawa was knocked unconscious, as if peace had regained between heaven and earth. All that remained was the whispering between Shi Wanshan and Ning Wenfeng.

"Chief soldier, are we just watching the big war start and doing nothing? They just helped us before. ā€

"So what? Can we still disobey the orders from above? Everything you and I have is given by the emperor and the court, and the emperor's order cannot be violated. ā€

But why is that? Is it the self-inflicted cleverness of the above? Don't they know that once the Varat coalition wins, they will immediately point the finger at us, and at that time we don't even have an ally, who will help us if we encounter any difficulties? On the contrary, if Zhonggong wins, he will not spare us, and even a war with our Beiming is not impossible. ā€

"Huh." Shi Wanshan's sneer came out, "The people above? When did the above people do a few things, obviously said that they would give us 100,000 taels of silver as a reward, but they only got 10,000 taels, and almost caused a mutiny in the army for this matter, if they were smart, how could they do such a self-digging thing? Count on them... Hehe. ā€

When he said this, the air seemed to have condensed, and one of the chief soldiers and one deputy chief soldier stopped talking. They suddenly had a very powerless feeling. If you want to say that if you don't die, you won't die, how prosperous the original Ming Dynasty was, but because of party strife, infighting, and eunuch dictatorship, a dynasty was finally ruined.

It's just that at this moment, no matter how helpless or even resentful the two commanders are, all they can do is to complain here. Unless you want to rebel, you can only obey the orders of the superiors, and you don't even have the right to go out if you stay in this palace.

After a few days of hurrying, the vanguard of the alliance between Warat and Yili has come to the foot of Saihan Mountain. When the scout went up the mountain, he learned that it had been empty for a long time, and according to the scout, the people on the mountain had not been evacuated for a day or two, but should have had a few days of work.
