Ma Chao walked down the steps slowly with his hands behind his back, as if he didn't see in front of him at all, the border soldiers were densely packed together, and he walked forward like this. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Walking in front of Yang Zhi, he didn't seem to see him, and continued to move forward, Yang Zhi looked back at the soldier in despair, silently sideways half a step, bent his knees, and fell to the ground.

As soon as Yang Zhi knelt, dozens of generals behind him all knelt down.

Ma Chao continued to move forward, and everywhere he went, the border soldiers knelt down one after another, like leeks that had been cut down, and Ma Chao walked from one end to the other, and then slowly walked back.

At this moment, he finally realized why Li Zhi would say to him before he died that the Great Qin Dynasty was still the Ma clan, not the Deng clan, and the army would be divided into factions, but in front of the royal family, ordinary soldiers were still dominated by the Ma clan, and this concept had been deeply rooted in the bones of the Great Qin soldiers for more than a hundred years.

Of course, this is also the result of Li Zhi's perseverance and hard work over the past decades. Although he died, the legacy he left to Ma's Great Qin was still rich.

At this moment, Ma Chao realized what is called authority, what is called the whole world, it is not a prince.

Ma Chao, who walked back, stood in front of Yang Zhi and leaned over to look at him.

"Yang Zhi, what else do you have to say?" He asked coldly.

Yang Zhi raised his head and looked at Ma Chao: "Your Highness, the minister is also helpless, General Bian is incompetent in command......"

"So you mutinied in front of the battle, forced the coach away, and seized power and stood on your own, right?" Ma Chao didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and cut off his words: "Regardless of this war, whether General Bian is incompetent in command or not, King Gu just wants to ask you one word, if one day, you think that His Majesty the Emperor is also incompetent, will you also lead your troops straight to Yongdu and force the emperor to step down and replace him!" ”

Yang Zhihan rained down, "The minister doesn't dare, the minister has never thought about it like this." ”

"If General Bian is not in proper command, there is a military department above, there is King Kaiping, there is King Lone, and His Majesty the Emperor, he is incompetent, and he has his own court to deal with it, when will it be your turn to act without authorization and force the commander? Say, Who gave you the guts? Ma Chao shouted angrily.

Yang Zhi closed his eyes in despair and swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, "No one gives the minister courage, everything is the minister's own opinion." ”

In fact, Ma Chao was really worried that Yang Zhi was desperate to shout loudly that this was the meaning of King Kaiping, and when he heard Yang Zhi reply, a stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

This Yang Zhi is stupid, but he is not stupid yet.

There were bursts of drums in the old camp, and the soldiers who had not left the camp before were now fully armed, and groups drove out of the barracks, under the command of Jin Shoude, inserted, divided, and divided the soldiers who participated in the mutiny one by one. Kneeling down in front of Ma Chao, he handed over the order arrow with both hands, and said loudly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Jin Shoude was ordered to transfer troops to quell the rebellion. ”

Ma Chao waved his hand, "Command the arrow, command the departments, each in place, no one is allowed to move without the order of the Lone King." ”

"Yes!" Jin Shoude stood up, held the arrow high, and slowly retreated.

Ma Chao turned his head and looked at Yang Zhi.

"Mutiny before the battle, forced the commander, you know what kind of crime this is, and what kind of punishment should be received, right?"

Yang Zhi sighed: "The minister knows. ”

"It's good to know, what else do you have to say?" Ma Chao asked.

Yang Zhi kowtowed heavily, and when he raised it again, blood was dripping on his forehead: "His Royal Highness the Prince, all the things are planned by Yang Zhi, please let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince let others go." ”

Ma Chao said coldly: "I believe that these soldiers are deceived by you and don't know what they are doing, but do you dare to say that these generals behind you are innocent?" They don't know anything about what they're doing? ”

Yang Zhi was speechless.

"The Lone King will not be innocent, nor will he let go of the initiator and his accomplices."

Yang Zhi lowered his head in despair, "Your Highness, please remember that Yang Zhi has been fighting for the country for nearly twenty years, and his body is scarred, so he does not offend the family of the minister, and give them a way to live." ”

"The court has its own laws."

Hearing Ma Chao say this, Yang Zhi was a little desperate, and kowtowed his head again: "Please Your Highness give the minister a decent way to die." ”

"What is decency?" Ma Chao asked.

Behind him, Bian Wushuang took a step forward, "Your Highness, the minister has something to say." ”

Ma Chao was a little surprised, "General Bian has something to say." ”

"Although Yang Zhi committed a big crime, as he said, he also fought for the country for 20 years, and his body was scarred, and it was not too much to ask for a decent death."

"According to General Bian's opinion, how should I deal with it?" Ma Chao asked.

Bian Wushuang walked up to Yang Zhi and looked at the other party with some pity, "Yang Zhi, one person will give you a horse and a knife, tomorrow, you go to the battlefield, it is better to die under the sword and arrow of the Chu army than to die under the law of Great Qin, after you die, Bian will still report to the court with his death in battle, so, can you rest assured?" ”

Yang Zhi raised his head and looked at Bian Wushuang, the expression on his face was very complicated, both puzzled and grateful, Bian Wushuang's move was equivalent to erasing his behavior of leading troops to force the palace today, and his family would still enjoy the treatment of the general's wife and the bereaved family members who died in battle.

"Thank you General Bian for your magnanimity, Yang Zhi is willing."

Behind him, dozens of generals who participated in the forced palace knew that they would be defeated today, and they would definitely be unlucky, so it was a good thing to die like this, and they kowtowed heavily one by one: "The last general is willing to die." ”

At this time, Ma Chao finally understood, if he wanted to deal with it according to the law and investigate it, he was afraid that he would eventually implicate Deng Hong, the king of Kaiping, but he was afraid that it would cause an uproar, since Yang Zhi would not confess Deng Hong, then it would undoubtedly be the best to deal with it like this, the damned person died, and the matter was over. It can be regarded as appeasing the entire army and the court to the greatest extent.

Glancing at Bian Wushuang, Ma Chao suddenly felt that in some aspects, he was still much worse than these old foxes of the imperial court.

On the city wall, Bian Wenzhong took a long breath, until this time, he felt wet all over, unconsciously, his underwear had already been soaked with sweat, around, the generals of the Thunder Army thundered with joy, and the generals of the border army, some were relieved, some were sweating, today Bian Wenzhong took them to the city wall, in a certain way, it did save their lives.

The mutinous soldiers returned to the camp in despair, while a group of generals led by Yang Zhi were detained in the Chinese army camp, and tonight will be their last night in this world. Bian Wushuang didn't treat them badly, and a sumptuous banquet was sent to the place where they were held.

In a corner of the city wall, an arrow was shot at a forest, and a moment later, a ghostly man appeared, pulled the feather arrow from the ground, removed a small bamboo tube from it, and then disappeared into the night like a ghost.

At the same time, in another corner, the same feathered arrow was also shot into the dark place, and the object attached to the arrow was taken away, and two ghostly figures, also obtained news from the city, but they went in different directions, one ran towards the Chu army camp, and the other ran towards the general mountain.

Dai Shulun was holding a note no more than a finger wide in his hand, but he looked at it for half a quarter of an hour, he could hardly believe his eyes, the crown prince Ma Chao actually appeared in the Zhaoyingxia camp, shouldn't he be recuperating in the palace at this moment? With a roll of his fingers, he held the note in the palm of his hand, his nails almost digging into the flesh.

They were all fooled. What kind of illness is all a trick, the prince is seriously ill, and he is recuperating in the palace, all in order to deceive them, he also arrived in Qingtian County before himself, hid in Bian Wushuang's army, and did not show up for a long time, until Yang Zhi made a move, then he appeared, and subdued the army in one fell swoop.

Ma Chao's move was undoubtedly to uproot all the subordinates of the Deng clan in the southern border army, and at this point, the southern border army finally had nothing to do with the Deng clan anymore.

In this encounter, they lost cleanly, and the opponent won without any drag. I'm afraid that since Yang Zhi took the initiative to give up Jingjing Pass, Bian Wushuang began to plan this matter, and when it comes to such a conspiracy, whether it is Kaiping Wang or himself, he is obviously far from Bian Wushuang's opponent.

Somewhat lonely, he left the camp where he was sheltering.

"Lord Dai." A retinue followed.

"Inform the brothers, leave Jiangjun Mountain immediately, and when it comes to dawn, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave!" Dai Shulun sighed.

In the Chu army camp, An Ruhai also got a secret letter, and after reading the content of the letter, he shook his head with a wry smile, "Let's disperse, go back and sleep well, tomorrow, we are ready to have a real battle with the Qin army, which is also our last battle." ”

"General!" Suqian looked at An Ruhai inquiringly.

Raising the note in his hand, An Ruhai said: "Prince Ma Chao has long been hiding in Bian Wushuang's army, and Yang Zhi's mutiny has just begun and has ended. Dozens of generals who participated in the mutiny, led by Yang Zhi, were arrested. The last of Deng's forces on the southern frontier were uprooted. ”

"Then how can the general say that there is a real battle tomorrow?"

"Because the Qin people need a real battle to boost morale and vent the frustration in their hearts, Prince Ma Chao needs to use a real battle to show that he is right. Don't think that the Qin army has a few dozen fewer generals, and tomorrow's battle will be easy, mourning soldiers, they have really become a group of mourning soldiers now. ”

"But why the last one?"

"It's very simple, the Qin army needs a battle, but it's just a battle, after a long time, their blood will be gone, and the loss of Yang Zhi, these old generals, will appear. As for us, the supply line is too long, and it is impossible to stalemate with them here for a long time, so after the battle tomorrow, everyone will have to sit down and have a good talk. ”

"Since sooner or later we have to talk, then what else to fight?"

An Ruhai laughed: "If you don't fight, how can you talk about it?" Because I don't fight, Ma Chao still has illusions, and I, An Ruhai, also have illusions, maybe I can defeat the opponent in a fight? ”
