"What to do, what to do?" Zhang Ba sat down and rubbed his hands vigorously, not knowing what to do. If you don't go, I'm worried that Your Majesty will ask for guilt; Go, worried that there will be no return. Tou Yuan, this thought flashed in his mind, but it was quickly pressed down and sank to the most secret place in his heart.

Zhang Ba knew very well that at this time, investing in yuan was the most unknown choice. Now that the Song army has won a streak, Meng Yuan is forced to negotiate peace, and he categorically does not dare to accept him, otherwise he will inevitably suffer from the crazy revenge of the Great Song Dynasty. And even if Meng Yuan dared to accept his surrender, he didn't know how many people he could take away.

At present, the Eighth Army has three infantry divisions, as well as cavalry brigades, artillery brigades, and baggage brigades, scout battalions, communication battalions, and personal guard battalions, with a total strength of more than 40,000 troops. Even if he is regarded as a teacher of his cronies, don't look at his own self-esteem on weekdays, but if he is invested in Yuan, he is afraid that he will think differently.

Zhang Ba sat in a daze, feeling powerless, thinking for a long time, maybe only the pro-guard battalion would go with him, as for the second and third divisions, he was afraid that he would not be able to take away a single soldier, and if he didn't get it, he would be killed by them. And his family stayed in Yuanjiang at this time, and as soon as he went, with the ruthlessness of the little emperor, although he would not be wiped out of the nine clans, it was certain that he would be exiled from his family, and his descendants would never turn over. So he quickly extinguished Tou Yuan's thoughts.

"Du Shuai, please make a decision as soon as possible, the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for us!" Song Lian, the commander of the two divisions, saw that his face was sweating, and he was silent for a long time, and got up to salute.

"I just received an urgent report that the first brigade of the imperial guard army and the cavalry brigade will attack Fancheng, and now the city has been breached, and Shi Bi was defeated and fled to Xiangyang City. I don't need to wait for help, it's useless to go. Zhang Ba said very frustratedly.

"Since there is still no one to contact us, then we can only pretend not to know, return to Gucheng as soon as possible, collect the revival army as soon as possible, and have an explanation." Zhang Huai thought about it and offered advice.

"Zhang Du's control is light, at the moment we are only thirty miles away from the car, will Your Majesty really know nothing about what we are doing?" The three divisions are all under control, and Ma Ling pursed his lips and said disdainfully.

"Du Shuai, the lower officials thought that it was better to go to Fancheng as soon as possible to meet him and ask His Majesty for his guilt!" Song Lian stepped forward and saluted.

"Face the saint pleads?! We haven't moved for a long time, and now that Fancheng has been conquered, how can we explain it to Your Majesty? How can Du Shuai deal with himself! Zhang Huai roared urgently.

"Hmph, then we will wait here for Your Majesty to ask for the guilt, and everything will be punished by Your Majesty!" Song Lian flicked his sleeves and sat back, snorting angrily.

"We can't sit still!" Zhang Huai was stunned for a while before muttering.

"Could it be that Zhang Du's command still wants to rebel, and the assassin can't kill the king!" Song Lian glared at him and shouted.

"Nonsense, don't slander this official!" Zhang Huai said with a humble heart.

"Du Shuai, the lower officials thought that they should invite Du Yuhou to come to discuss and properly handle this matter!" Ma Ling said at this time.

"This ......," Zhang Ba writhed uneasily when he heard this.

After receiving the report of His Majesty's personal expedition to Xiangyang, Xie Ming, the Marquis of the Eighth Army, suggested that troops should be sent from Fancheng to sweep the remaining strongholds of the enemy army to the east, open up the road with Huaidong, and cross Baishui to meet him. However, he had other ideas, and he was afraid that he would spoil his own affairs, so he put him under house arrest in the first division under the pretext of counselor's military affairs, so as to prevent him from contacting the outside world. And now that it is released, what will happen, he does not dare to think.

"Du Shuai, it's not good!" At this time, a pro-soldier suddenly broke into the tent and said with a shocked face.

"What's the matter, is there something wrong with Fancheng?" Zhang Ba stood up abruptly when he heard this, and asked with a worried face. And in his heart was ecstasy, how could Fancheng be so easy to conquer. Shi Bi is also a famous general of Mengyuan, and he is not a soft persimmon. He must have used a false tactic to bring the imperial guards into the city and trap them in the city, so that he would have the name to send troops to rescue them and survive this crisis.

"All handsome...... It was the soldiers in the battalion who secretly connected with each other, intending to leave the camp with their weapons! The soldier shook his head and hesitated.

"Mutiny?!" Zhang Ba was shocked when he heard this. He has been in the army for half his life, so he naturally knows what it means for soldiers to mutiny, and once he does not handle it effectively, the consequences will be unimaginable, and he will not be able to escape his life.

"Tell me, what's going on? And how many people participated! Zhang Huai was also shocked, the Dengcheng battalion was their first division responsible for defense, and if there was a mutiny, he would bear the brunt.

"Say! Which one is involved! The other two divisions were also in charge of the other two divisions, and they also asked anxiously. The situation is unclear, and they don't dare to act rashly, knowing that this is not a cannibalistic battle, and the first thing is to find out the current situation and how far the incident has developed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I ...... I waited in the middle of the patrol camp and found that there were soldiers walking between the various departments...... "The guards saw that all the generals were solemn, with murderous aura in their eyes, and they were all fierce and vicious, and he was also frightened. Looking at Zhang Ba, he nodded slightly before continuing.

It turned out that some soldiers in the battalion secretly passed the news to Zhang Ba's personal guards, saying that some people were walking between the camps, as if they were planning something, and they secretly tied white scarves on their right arms to identify each other, and quietly moved to the gate of the village to assemble. However, because the people in the connection are all people who know each other well and trust, they can't find out more detailed information for a while.

All the generals know that in order to effectively control the situation of their subordinates, they will secretly plant secret stakes in various departments to listen to the news, so it is not surprising. But what stunned them was that the whole army involved in it, and they, as the commanders, knew nothing about it, so the action was likely to be directed against them.

"Du Shuai, we must quickly close the camp, isolate the participants and disarm them, and identify the mastermind, so as not to expand the situation!" Zhang Huai Shili said.

"No, it's not clear what they are trying to do. And there are a large number of participants, and they have guns in their hands, and if they resist, it will cause a catastrophe. Ma Ling disagreed.

"Commander Huang, your department will immediately set up defenses around the tent, no one is allowed to enter or leave without my order, and those who violate the order will be punished on the spot." Zhang Ba ignored the two, but ordered Huang Cai, the commander of the pro-guard battalion.

"The last general obeys!" Huang Cai, as Zhang Ba's henchman, naturally understood, and did not hesitate to transfer troops into the tent to control the generals first, and then collect the weapons of the generals in the tent to protect their personal guards, and then arrange a guard around the tent.

"Dushuai, what does this mean? Are you trying to imprison me? Song Lian said angrily, but as soon as he got up, he was pressed on the chair by the soldiers of the military department.

"Don't be annoyed by the Song capital system, the current situation is unclear, Ben Shuai has to take some measures, as long as he is not involved, he will naturally be released." Zhang Bapi said with a smile on his face.

"Du Shuai, the first task at this time is to stabilize the morale of the army, not to control us!" Ma Ling was also extremely displeased.

"It is only thirty miles away, and such an unbearable thing has happened to our army, if anyone intends to mutiny against His Majesty, we will die for nothing. Ben Shuai can't be cautious, although this matter came suddenly, but if no one instructs, how can so many people be involved. Zhang Ba sat up straight, and his fierce gaze swept over the generals.

"Du Shuai, our cavalry brigade has been on standby in the camp, and I have always been loyal to Your Majesty, how can I want to be unfavorable to Your Majesty!" He Jing, the commander of the cavalry brigade, hurriedly confessed.

"Exactly, half of our artillery brigade is in Gucheng, how can we conspire with others to mutiny, it's really wronged!" Chen Liang, commander of the artillery brigade, shouted in vain.

"Whether there is any involvement remains to be verified, and please calm down!" Zhang Ba patted the handsome case.

In fact, he was shouting luck in his heart, if such a thing hadn't happened, he wouldn't know what to do. And now it is possible to use the unstable morale of the army as an excuse to delay the drive. Although it is inevitable that they will be punished and punished, it is much lighter than the crime of great disrespect. But he also had doubts in his heart, his eyes swept over the generals in the tent, and it was difficult to judge who would have such great energy to connect all the departments of the whole army.

"Du Shuai, could it be a mutiny planned by Marquis Du Yu?" Zhang Huai was also controlled in the tent, knowing that he was also suspected, he couldn't help but be depressed, but he still proposed.

"The Marquis of Duyu is an old general in Qiongzhou, and when the country was broken, he recruited the rebels to resist the Yuan, and he would never have any disagreement with my dynasty. Then he threw himself into the Shuai Mansion and was deeply valued by His Majesty, how could he want to be unfavorable to His Majesty! Song Lian immediately defended it.

"That's right, Marquis Du Yu has been in the camp in Dengcheng, and the third division was only ordered to return to the camp overnight yesterday, how can he contact and plan?" Ma Ling didn't believe it at all. And everyone knows that Du Shuai and Du Yu Marquis are not in harmony, saying that they let him stay in the camp, but in fact they are under house arrest in disguise, so that they cannot contact the camp, and if he wants to contact the army with the intention of mutiny, I am afraid that Du Shuai himself will not believe it.

"Then why did the armies suddenly mutiny?" Zhang Ba took a sip of tea and asked rhetorically.

"Then you have to ask Du Shuai, our army has been attacking Gucheng for a long time, and we have missed Fancheng, and Kexiangyang is even more far away. As a result, the morale of the army was unstable and demoralized, and the army thought of returning. And at this point, Du Shuai did not welcome the car, nor did he assist Fancheng, perhaps because the army was not angry. Ma Ling said angrily, "Now the army is in turmoil, and the commander does not appease us in time, but detains us and others, but I don't know what I want!" ”

"You...... What do you mean by slandering Ben Shuai? Your Majesty's personal expedition to Xiangyang is such a confidential matter, only a few people know about it, did you deliberately leak the military aircraft and incite the army to mutiny. In the past, everyone tacitly agreed, but now that the lid is uncovered, Zhang Ba said angrily.

"I'm afraid it's all handsome, right? The sound of artillery in the direction of Fancheng is rumbling, all in the ears, who does not know the army, and after a little thought, they will know the truth, so why do they need to leak secrets. I'm afraid it's just that Du Shuai turned a deaf ear and just didn't know! Ma Ling snorted coldly.

"Maling hooks up the army, the intention is ......"

"Welcome to the holy car, Ke Xiangyang!" Zhang Ba was furious and was about to let people take it down, when suddenly the shouts of all the troops came from outside the tent......
