In the dark night, Ma Sui once wanted to lead the army into the camp, but the Fengxiang army in the camp had already prepared, and the problem of light made the attack more difficult, and more importantly, Xuan Jiu and more than a hundred soldiers had no news, I don't know whether they were dead or alive, under the trap, he could only think about countermeasures while sending troops to surround the Fengxiang army camp, especially set up heavy troops near several key entrances and exits to prevent people from escaping from the barracks.

A toothed general stepped forward and clenched his fists at the horse and said, "General, are we going to confront them here all night?" In the eyes of the last general, it is better to find a way to kill it, the military camp is fenced with a wooden fence, this thing is not strong, and it will fall down with a tripping horse, they want to use this simple fence to defend it is simply a fool's dream! Please give the general an order, as long as the last general leads his headquarters, he can kill the barracks and scatter the Fengxiang army! ”

Ma Sui shook his head and said: "The order that General Ben got was to rescue General Xuanjiu and the hundred soldiers he brought, and to capture Sha Chali, the deputy envoy of the Fengxiang Army, instead of leading the army to kill the Fengxiang Army!" And there is no news about General Xuanjiu and his 100 soldiers, we can't act rashly, the army is not someone's army, all the actions of the escort army must have orders from above, and the general can't afford to act without permission! ”

The tooth general said: "But general, Sha Chali obviously wants to be arrested, judging from the current situation, the Fengxiang Army has been controlled by him, if we don't attack, it will be impossible to rescue General Xuanjiu and others, let alone catch Sha Chali!" ”

"This is where General Ben is in a dilemma!" Ma Sui sighed, and then ordered: "Herald, quickly send someone into the city to report to the king, just say that Sha Zhali resisted arrest, has controlled all the soldiers and horses of the Fengxiang army to confront our army, and the two sides are currently facing each other across the wooden fence outside the barracks, and the life and death of General Xuanjiu and others are uncertain, the last general has not received the order of the king, and does not dare to fight with the Fengxiang army privately, how to deal with the general, please show the king!" ”

The herald clenched his fists and agreed: "Yes, General!" ”

In the barracks, Sha Chali and his subordinate generals were also facing a difficult choice at this time.

One of the generals said to Sha Chali, "General, are we going to keep confronting the guards of the Regent's Mansion outside?" With all due respect, the longer the time drags on, the more the situation will be unfavorable to us! ”

Another general said, "Brother, it's a big night, it's freezing, do you mean we're going to rush out and fight them?" They are all cavalry, they can fight when they want, they can run when they want, how can we catch up? In the wilderness, we infantry only have to be beaten, now we are in the barracks, there are simple defensive tools such as arrow towers and wooden fences to use, it is not easy for them to rush in, at least it is safer to stay in the barracks! ”

The subordinates were arguing about what was going to happen next, some thought that they should be killed, some thought that they could not go out to die, and now the enemy was in the dark, and the danger of going out of the camp to fight was too high.

After a long dispute, there has never been a viable way to deal with the situation at hand. The henchman whispered to Sha Chali: "General, their purpose is to arrest you, why don't we take the hundred people in the camp as hostages, send people out of the camp to negotiate with the leading generals outside, and threaten them to retreat ten miles, as long as they retreat ten miles, we can lead the cavalry to break out, at the moment this situation is the only option, if we continue to stay here, it can only be a dead end!" ”

Puzzled, Shazari asked, "Why?" ”

The confidant said: "General, now the regent is the boss of the court, his order is the will of the court, if he wants to arrest you, it means that the court wants to arrest you, if you don't run, is there any other way to live?" Who do you count on to save you? Do you really want to enter Chang'an City? This is impossible, you also saw those cavalry outside, just the momentum created has scared the brothers into weakness, fight with them? This is not a war, but a search for death, and now we can only run away with the cavalry and leave the infantry behind! The cavalry is running fast, now we have more than 2,000 cavalry, as long as we can find a place to settle, we will have a chance to gain a foothold, and we can also contact other local feudal towns to fight against the imperial court together, only then will we have a way to live! ”

Sha Zhali thought about the words of his henchman, nodded and said, "You have a point, but what if they don't agree to retreat ten miles?" ”

"We have to send someone to give it a try, if they don't agree to retreat ten miles, we can think of other ways than stay here and confront them, right?"

Shazali agreed: "All right! Who will you send? ”

"It would be good if the general hadn't killed Huangfu Wen, he was the best person to negotiate! But since he is dead, it is useless to say more, why don't you send Judge Tian Jiye over? ”

Sha Chali thought for a moment and agreed, "That's all there is to it! Someone, call Judge Tian Jiye over! ”

Soon, a middle-aged civil official came over under the leadership of several soldiers, this is the judge Tian Jiye, he saw Sha Zhali and kept nagging: "General Sha, what are you doing at this time?" You lead the soldiers to confront the imperial army, this is not a good result! The lower officials have already heard about the matter, the regent's palace has sent people to arrest you, you just go with them, the court will at most demote your official position and demote you to the border, why do you have to make trouble that you can't end? In doing so, you not only put yourself in, but also dragged all the soldiers to Huangquan Road with you! ”

Previously, due to the prestige of Sha Chali, the generals and colonels below who had a clear heart did not dare to say these words, and most of the other generals did not think of this, but now after Judge Tian Jiye said it, most of the generals present realized that Sha Chali had led them to a point of no return, and several generals and colonels on the spot had hostility towards Sha Chali in their hearts, and they began to move.

Sha Zali said angrily: "Ben Jiang doesn't want to do this, who let them arrest me without asking?" General Ben can't sit still, can he? The situation is not what I want to see, and General Ben doesn't want to drag you to die with me, but when things come to this point, it's not that if you don't follow me to make trouble, the court will let you go! If we want to live, we can only send people out to negotiate with the leading generals outside, take the hundred people who are besieged by us as hostages, and threaten them to retreat, as long as they retreat ten miles, we can break out, now we are all in the same boat, if the ship sinks, all of us have to die, so if you don't want to die, you can only follow me! Lord Tian, now I can only trouble you to go out and negotiate with the leading generals outside, tell them that General Ben does not want to rebel, let alone confront the imperial army, General Ben just wants to be treated fairly, the 100 people sent by the Regent Mansion to arrest me are currently under our control, if you want them to live, if you want General Ben not to rebel, you must retreat ten miles first, and then talk after retreating! ”

Tian Jiye agreed when he heard this: "Okay, since General Sha can afford to go down to the official, the lower official can only sacrifice his life to go this way!" ”

Sha Zhali nodded: "The stable is in trouble with Lord Tian!" Please also ask Lord Tian, General Ben's patience is limited, if you don't come back before dawn, General Ben can only kill those 100 people first, and then rebel against the court! ”

"Good!"

Regent's Palace.

Zhao Ziliang was woken up as soon as he fell asleep, and after getting the news that Sha Zha Litong led the Fengxiang army and Ma Sui's escort army to confront the military camp, his sleepiness disappeared in an instant, and he immediately got dressed and came to the main hall of the palace.

Zhao Ziliang walked around the lobby with his hands behind his back, thinking about how to solve this matter. Du Fu turned his head and looked at it, and found that the palace officials had basically arrived, so he arched his hand to Zhao Ziliang and said, "King, General Ma Sui is still waiting for the king's order!" Now that most of your colleagues have arrived, do you think you should hurry up and discuss what to do? ”

Zhao Ziliang stopped and turned his head to look, then returned to his seat and sat down, and said to everyone: "Sit down, the news that Sha Zhali resisted arrest and led troops against the guards must be known to everyone, this matter has a very bad impact, and if it is not handled properly, there will be endless troubles!" Now let's talk about it, how to deal with this matter? ”

Gao Shang stood up and hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, from the perspective of Wei Chen, the attitude of the Regent Palace and the Imperial Court towards this matter is nothing more than two kinds, compromise and no connivance!" If there is a compromise, although this personal matter can be settled, the prestige of the Regent Mansion will be greatly affected, and the Regent Mansion will not even be able to take down a small deputy envoy of the Jiedu, and no one can not take the Regent Mansion in the future! The local officials and the generals of the feudal towns are afraid that they will not be able to carry out the decrees and edicts issued by the royal government, and the purpose of the king and us coming to Chang'an can be said to be in vain! Wechen's opinion is that we must resolutely crack down on this kind of behavior, never compromise, never tolerate, never connive, and severely punish it! ”

Hearing this, Zhao Ziliang looked at the other officials and asked, "What do you think of what Lord Gao said?" ”

Li Mi stood up and arched his hand: "Weichen supports Lord Gao's opinion, this matter does not need to be considered at all, if the commander of the army dares to ignore the emperor's holy decree and oral command, how will the emperor react?" Now the king represents the emperor, and the regent palace represents the court! Therefore, Wechen firmly supports no compromise on this matter, but more importantly, how do we deal with it? Should General Ma Sui lead his troops into the barracks and wipe out all the Fengxiang troops, or should he find a way to kill only Sha Zali alone? Or will they all be executed along with his henchmen? If we choose to wipe out all the Fengxiang army, the matter will be simple, and we will directly order General Ma Sui to kill it, if we distinguish the Fengxiang army from Sha Chali, then we will have to find a way to divide Sha Chali and all the soldiers of the Feng Xiang army and isolate him! ”
