Chapter 1313 - Great Unwisdom

Zhang Ba's face became more and more ugly when he heard this, he never thought that the leader who provoked the rebellion was really two low-ranking team leaders. And what made him even more awe-inspiring was that these two veterans actually responded to every call in the army, and they were able to gather tens of thousands of people to follow them, including some middle-level officials such as commanders and commanders, but he didn't dare to guarantee that he could do it.

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

"Ben Shuai has no intention of betraying the king...... I just don't dare to leave the defense without permission! Zhang Ba hurriedly replied after hearing this, but he still found a reason for himself, but he also felt that this reason was really a bit ridiculous.

"Du Shuai, Your Majesty has personally conquered Xiangyang from Huaibei, although the war is urgent, you should not forget your duty as a courtier!" Qi Zhong spoke again and said loudly.

"Ben Shuai...... The commander summoned all the troops to go to Fancheng to welcome the holy car, but there were some twists and turns, so it was difficult to make the trip for the time being! Zhang Ba was asked, his face was red, and he pondered for a long time before explaining.

"The words of the commander are difficult to convince the public, the direction of Fancheng this morning the cannon rumbles, and the reconnaissance cavalry continues to pass on the news, but our army does not move, that is, does not send troops to respond, nor does it send troops to help the battle. I don't know if Du Shuai intends to sit back and watch his driving being blocked, or if he wants to take advantage of the fire to rob! Hu Decai didn't speak so politely, and asked in a loud voice.

"This marshal is loyal to the country, not with malicious intentions, just waiting for the fighter!" When Zhang Ba heard his words, he understood that the troops did not know the internal situation on the front line, but only analyzed and guessed based on what they saw, his heart was a little wider, and he said with a straight face.

"The lower official position is low, and I have a lot of confusion about the marshal's plan, so please give me advice." Hu Decai sneered and said angrily, "I don't know if Du Shuai wants to wait for the defeat of the escort army before sending troops to rescue him, or does he want to wait until the casualties are exhausted before going to escort him?" ”

"Presumptuous, how can the military aircraft be revealed casually!" Zhang Ba was questioned again and again, but he was also annoyed, and shouted loudly.

"Since the commander refuses to send troops, we will be presumptuous, and we will ask ourselves to deal with it after welcoming the holy car!" After Hu Decai gave the salute, he turned to face the soldiers and said, "As the saying goes, 'the food of the king, the matter of loyalty to the king'." Brothers in the army, Your Majesty is trapped in Fancheng, how can we, as soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, sit back and watch Your Majesty fall into danger. ”

"Would you like to escort you, brothers?" Qi raised his arms and shouted.

"Welcome the holy car, welcome the holy car......!" The soldiers in the rear raised their guns and echoed in unison.

"Okay, then let's go to Fancheng immediately to escort us!" Hu Decai pressed his hand and said loudly.

"You can know that inciting a mutiny, complicit in the crime of rebellion, and you should be punished by the nine clans!" Zhang Ba was shocked when he saw this, and said threateningly.

"The holy car is safe, we will ask for sin before binding the tent!" Qi looked back and responded.

While speaking, the soldiers who wanted to go to escort began to prepare to leave the camp as a whole team, and most of the people involved in this matter were junior officers, but they were the backbone of the army, and the two veterans were elected as the commanders, and they reorganized the team in an orderly manner, and formed more than ten battalions according to the infantry, artillery, and cavalry, and formed a formation. And some people who are watching and wearing white scarves to join temporarily, making the team even stronger.

"Close the gate of the wall, and kill the trespassers without an order!" Seeing that the situation was out of control, Zhang Ba ordered loudly. However, there were very few responders, and those generals who did not participate in the 'mutiny' remained silent and did not respond to orders.

"Go and restrain your generals and don't allow them to leave the camp, and kill them if you disobey the order!" Zhang Ba saw that the soldiers of the 'mutiny' had opened the gate of the village and lowered the drawbridge, and he yelled at the commanders behind him.

"Du Shuai, we are all robes, how can we shoot at them!" Ma Ling shook his head and said.

"King Qin's welcome, it is the duty of my generation, and it is an unforgivable sin to let His Majesty get into danger, and it can't be wrong!" Song Lian lowered his head and said in shame.

"Du Shuai, you must not use force, otherwise it will cause a mutiny, and we will all be guilty of capital crimes!" Zhang Huai said in a bit of a panic.

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

The generals watched the team fall off the drawbridge and King Qin's army left the city one after another, all of them were discouraged, knowing that things were completely out of their control. And as commanders at all levels, whether they advocate welcoming or treating them negatively, they are all guilty of inescapability, and their days of leading troops have come to an end.

"Stop moving, stop moving forward!" Just when everyone was in great frustration, suddenly a horse galloped up, overtook the group out of the city, crossed the horse, and shouted loudly.

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

"Marquis Du Yu stopped the team, but all the soldiers were excited, would they listen to him?" Ma Ling secretly sweated for him, but things took a turn for the better, which still made him hopeful.

"Alas, the mantis arm is just a car, how can he, a civilian official, stop these reckless soldiers, I'm afraid that he will catch himself!" Song Lian looked at Xie Ming, who was shouting in front of the team, but he couldn't hear it clearly, and his single ride looked so thin in front of him, and he couldn't help sighing.

"Just ask it not to fall into the well!" Zhang Ba smiled bitterly, he wanted to drag him into the troubled waters to share the responsibility, but he didn't expect that the situation was out of control before he arrived. Now, if he gains power, he will stomp on his feet......

Xie Ming is the Marquis of Yu of the Eighth Army of the Forbidden Army, and the chief officer of the whole army. However, he was not very harmonious with Zhang Ba, especially in the matter of Yingjia, and resolutely opposed the abandonment of Fancheng, and was placed under house arrest in the rear army, expelling him from the decision-making level. When he learned of the 'mutiny' of the army, he only had time to briefly understand the situation, and then flew to the horse, but it seemed to be a little late.

"Do you know what a sin it is to disrespect military orders and commit the following crimes?" Xie Ming stopped the team and shouted loudly.

"Du Yuhou, we know that we are guilty of capital crimes. But Your Majesty is the pride of the sky, and Shangguan should also know that without Your Majesty, there would be no today's New Song Dynasty, and the body of a daughter cannot be damaged in the slightest. If we can protect Your Majesty, why do we need pity! Hu Decai bowed his hand and said.

"You are very pleased with your sincerity to Your Majesty, and you are equally concerned about your Majesty's safety. However, this cannot be a reason for us to violate the laws and military discipline of the country, and it is also the original intention of His Majesty to formulate the iron law in the army. Xie Ming said.

"What Du Yuhou said, we all know. However, His Majesty was close at hand, and the commander gathered the whole army on his side, and refused to send troops to meet him, nor did he go to help in the battle. Although we don't know his intentions, they are contrary to the way of the courtiers. It is really helpless for the army to disobey the order and leave the camp, and please do not force the Marquis of Du Yu to block it, so that His Majesty is in danger! Hu Decai replied with a smile.

Xie Ming has a good reputation in the Eighth Army, and is very prestigious among the new and old officers and soldiers, especially when the Shuaifu Army entered Qiong, he took the initiative to contact and merged the righteous army under the command of his brother Xie Fu into the Shuaifu Army, and provided a lot of help in the early days of entering Qiong. Therefore, the old man of Shuaifu knew that his brother was trusted by His Majesty, and he did not use force to block him, but showed his heart.

"You may not know that Your Majesty has ordered the first brigade of the Imperial Front Protector to capture Fancheng today, and the city has been broken in half a day under the command of Ni Dushuai, and the enemy defender Shi Bi abandoned the city and fled to Xiangyang, and the holy drive is safe!" As soon as Xie Ming heard it, he knew that Zhang Ba had deliberately concealed the true situation of the Holy Driver and his party, so that the troops loyal to His Majesty did not know the truth, and in a hurry, they did not hesitate to take risks to disobey the order and leave the camp.

However, Xie Ming was also suspicious of Zhang Ba's actions at this time. The reason why His Majesty set up two chief officers in charge of military and political affairs in the army was that there was a sense of mutual restraint and surveillance. However, Zhang Ba became more and more domineering after exercising military power on his behalf, deliberately cutting off his own sources, and even monopolized military power on the grounds that he was in charge of military affairs, depriving him of the right to participate in military affairs.

After learning the news of His Majesty's personal expedition to Xiangyang, Zhang Ba intensified his efforts, leaving him in the rear army and placing him under house arrest in Dengcheng in disguise. If it weren't for the changes in the army today, he would still have no idea that he had arrived in Fancheng and had broken the city alone. And when he learned that he would gather the whole army in Dengcheng, but he sat still and watched the escort attack the city alone, his intention was to treat His Majesty and Meng Yuan to kill both sides, or whether he had other intentions, which could not help but make people doubtful.

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

"It should be true, the news has been confirmed many times by the sentinels. If the siege fails, the driver will also send people to the camp to ask for help. Xie Ming nodded.

"Haha, God bless the Great Song, God bless Your Majesty!" Hu Decai and Qi Zhong hugged each other and laughed, looking up to the sky and shouting.

"Your Majesty is mighty, Your Majesty is mighty, Your Majesty is mighty!" When the troops heard this, they also shouted in unison, and their morale was greatly boosted.

"Although His Majesty has taken Fancheng now, it is only separated from Xiangyang by a river. And Your Majesty has come from afar, and has just gone through a vicious battle, and people will be sleepy. But Xiangyang has 100,000 soldiers, and the enemy in Nanyang is also eyeing him, and the driving is still in danger, so we went to Fancheng to escort it. Qi Zhong shouted to the army.

"Escort, escort, escort!"

"All the armies should be noisy, listen to me, it is not too late for me to walk with the armies!" Seeing that the crowd of troops was excited, Xie Ming was in a hurry, and he shouted loudly.

"It's okay, we'll listen to Du Yuhou." Hu Decai also knew that what he was doing was inappropriate, and if he insisted on going his own way, he might harm everyone, and if he could solve this matter properly, he would like to wave his hand to let the army calm down for a while.

"Team Hu, take a step to speak." Xie Ming jumped off the horse and pointed to the side of the road, and found an empty tunnel next to him, "You and the others are anxious, the official understands it very well, and admires your courage very much, but there is no imperial order or commander order to go, which is contrary to military law, and you can think about the consequences if you go rashly." ”

"Xia Guan naturally knows it, but Zhang Ba has a bad heart, he is a stone's throw away from the holy driver, and he has tens of thousands of troops in his hands, I am really worried about the safety of the holy driver, so it is also a last resort. After the deed, I will go to the front of the car to plead guilty, and commit suicide to thank the army, and I will not embarrass Your Majesty. Hu Decai chuckled.

"Stupid!" Xie Ming scolded in a low voice, "With such a full loyalty, but how can the tens of thousands of soldiers who will accompany you deal with themselves, and put Your Majesty in a dilemma, it is very unwise!" ”
