In the big tent of Fangshan, the generals looked at His Royal Highness the King of Han's face for a burst of red and white, for fear of disturbing his thoughts, and they all dared not take a breath.

Finally, the king of Han reacted to the growing uneasiness in his heart, and he ordered in a deep voice:

"The army is divided into two halves, and half is commanded by Lao Song, stop the prince's army, and be sure to block their way back to Beijing." After a pause, King Han ordered again: "The other half, immediately return to Beijing with Gu!" ”

"Lord Wang, in this way, I am afraid that the troops outside the city will not be enough!" Song Hu was a little worried: "Originally, we had the ten guards and horses of the former military governor's mansion and the seven guards and horses of the rear military governor's mansion, and after taking Gu Xingzu down, we mastered the eight guards and horses of the left army governor's mansion, plus the three guards and horses of the prince, a total of 150,000 soldiers and horses. After a pause, he said: "And the other party has the vanguard of the government army, the five guards and horses of the right army governor's mansion, and the seven guards and horses of the Chinese army governor's mansion, a total of 75,000 soldiers and horses." We have twice as many troops, and we have a cloud of war, and if we are doubled, we will fight. Blocking their way back to Beijing is naturally not a problem. But when the prince drains half of his troops, the two sides are evenly matched, and there are big variables here......"

The Governor's Office of the Five Armies is in charge of the army in Beijing and the soldiers and horses of the provinces, but the soldiers and horses in the provinces are too far away, and they can't quench their thirst at all, and the only ones that can affect the battle situation in the capital are the guards army in Beijing. The Yongle Emperor went to Beijing and removed a dozen guards and horses from each province, which caused a huge disparity in the strength of the various provinces.

Among them, the one who lost the most blood was Xue Lu's Right Army Governor's Mansion. The Marquis of Yangwu served as the governor of the capital and accompanied the emperor to Beijing, and his subordinates were naturally transferred the most, leaving only half for Zhang Yong to take care of. and Li Maofang's former military capital governor's mansion, all the guards and horses were transferred...... At that time, Li Maofang was still depressed for a long time, thinking that this was a sign that the emperor did not trust him. But who would have thought that this would become their own advantage...... It's really a blessing and a curse to rely on, and a blessing to rely on!

"Master Hou, the last general thinks that the account can't be calculated like this." Without King Han opening his mouth, Wang Bin retorted: "It is true that Zhang Yong and Wang Ning are the governors of the right army and the central army, but their control of the commanders and commanders under their command is very problematic. ”

After speaking, Wang Bin looked at Song Hu and saw that he was listening, so he continued: "The most obvious example is Fang Cai, the officers of the two Governor's Mansions, but more than half of them came up to the mountain, and they all signed and received orders, I think these people's troops will still listen to our dispatch." ”

"What Lao Wang said is that Wang Ning has been eating fasting and reciting Buddha all day long these years, and he can't go to the barracks twice a year, and there are not a few soldiers under his command who have been pulled over by us." Li Maofang continued: "As for Zhang Yong, he is the acting at all, no one obeys him, and many people have been pulled over by us this time." Half of the troops left by the prince are enough! ”

"You still can't ......be careless," Song Hu frowned.

"Old Song, haven't you figured it out yet?" Zhu Gaoxu put his hand on Song Hu's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Fang Shan's plan has failed, and now the capital side is the winner, but our arrangements are all here, so I must immediately take people back to deal with the worst possible situation!" ”

"Besides, it's unlikely that your side will fight to the death." Zhu Gaoxu was relieved again: "At best, it's just a high-intensity confrontation, in this case, as long as you block their way, can they still fly over?" ”

"Yes." The prince said so, and Song Hu had no choice but to nod.

"The three guards of this king, and the ten guards and horses under the jurisdiction of the former military governor's mansion, immediately set off lightly!" Seeing Song Hu receiving the order, the king of Han ordered in a deep voice.

"Whoa!" The generals who received the order were very excited, they knew that once the great success was done, the credit of these people would inevitably be above the other half of the people, especially Li Maofang, who was about to jump up excitedly......

The Han king's cronies on Fangshan had already given it a go, but the various armies of Fangshan had broken out into infighting with different Cheng dù......

Five miles south of Fangshan, is the right army governor's tent is located, the five guards and horses are plum blossoms, guarding the right army governor's mansion of the tent, at this time the tent is a killing machine!

Most of the troops under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Mansion of the Right Army accompanied the emperor on his northern tour, leaving only the five guards and horses of the Tiger Ben Right Guard, the Left Right Guard, the Right Guard of the Water Army, the Wu Dewei and the Guangwu Guard. Among the six senior officers, they all commanded Cheng Yuan, Xin Keshun, the commander of the right guard of the Hu Ben, Qian Yi, the commander of the right guard of the navy, and Feng Ligong, the commander of Wu Dewei.

The order given to the four by the Han king was for Cheng Yuan to try to control the authority of the right army governor's mansion first, and if it failed, he would lead the right guard of the tiger ben, the right guard of the water army, and Wu Dewei to join the army of the king of Han and obey the dispatch of the Marquis of Xining.

On Cheng Yuan's side, he naturally wanted to control the Governor's Mansion of the Right Army. The reason is very simple, even if you sell your body, you have to sell it for a good price! In the name of the Governor's Mansion of the Right Army, he defected to the King of Han, and he could sit on an equal footing with the Marquis of Xining and the Marquis of Fuyang. But if they just led the three guards and horses to defect, without the banner of the Governor's Mansion of the Right Army, they would inevitably be divided and absorbed by Song Hu, Li Maofang and others, and their status would plummet. The three commanders are better, but Cheng Yuan, the commander of the troops who has no direct subordinates, has completely become a bare-bones commander, and he will definitely have to stand aside.

On the way back, Cheng Yuan figured out that there was a world of difference between here and outside, so he had to kill Zhang Yong no matter what. Before returning to the camp, he consulted with three commanders, and all three agreed. In order to avoid startling the snakes, they did not gather their own guards and horses, but only brought their own personal guards and went straight to the tent of the commander of the Chinese army!

Their plan was simple, rush into Shuai's tent, capture Zhang Yong, force him to hand over Shuai Yin, and then lead his army to join the King of Han! The warriors' plan was so simple and crude......

When they entered the Chinese military camp, they saw that the officers and men in the camp were all unhurriedly packing up, and they seemed to really think that what was going to be a routine military exercise was next...... At this time, several junior officers hurriedly came out, and when they saw Cheng Yuan, they were overjoyed and said, "The general is just in time, and the governor is asking me to wait to find you." ”

"What are you looking for us for?" When Cheng Yuan said this, his hand couldn't help but rest on the hilt of the sword.

"The governor received a military order from His Royal Highness the King of Han to discuss with several generals." The officer bowed his head.

"Well, lead the way." Hearing this, Cheng Yuan and the others were a lot more relieved, and they also pretended to be relaxed and walked towards the tent.

They were all high-ranking generals of the Governor's Palace, and they were led by the heralds of the Governor's Mansion, so they were naturally unimpeded, and only when they came to the periphery of the tent did someone stop their own soldiers...... This did not arouse Cheng Yuan's vigilance, because this is normal, and it is impossible for the world's commanders to allow generals and soldiers to enter without permission.

Xin Keshun and Qian Yi looked at Cheng Yuan, meaning, you always hurry up and make up your mind, should we pull out a knife and kill someone?

Cheng Yuan shook his head lightly, there is still a few zhang away from the handsome tent here, if he does it now, it will inevitably alarm Zhang Yong inside, and it will be troublesome if he lets that guy escape to the left right guard or Guangwu guard.

'Well, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger's son! Cheng Yuan secretly cheered himself up, and said that with the four of us, a sudden move could also restrain Zhang Yong's cowardice. And then it's too late to call for pro-soldiers...... These thoughts are all in the blink of an eye, and this situation and this scene can't be thought about at all, so Cheng Yuan led the three commanders in.

When he arrived outside the tent, the herald raised the curtain and said, "A few generals, please come in." ”

The four of them nodded and rushed in.

I saw that in the camp tent, the tiger skin handsome seat was empty. Zhang Yong and two other commanders, and one of the generals with their backs to them, were discussing something around the map.

Zhang Yong was facing the door of the tent, and when he saw the four of them coming in, he smiled and said, "You guys are here." ”

"Dudu, this is ......" Cheng Yuan didn't have the heart to salute at all, and his eyes fell on the general who turned his back to them.

"Hehe, Uncle Cheng is really a noble man who forgets things." The man turned his head with a strange smile, the leopard's head was ringed around his eyes, and there was a hideous scar on the side of his mouth, which one was not Xue Huan, the second son of Xue Lu, the Marquis of Yangwu!

"Ah......" As soon as he saw Xue Huan appear here, Cheng Yuan exploded a few times, turned around and ran without thinking, and shouted loudly: "Someone!" ”

But when they turned around, they were greeted by a dense array of spears, and the entire tent was surrounded by ambushes! And outside the inner encirclement, the personal soldiers they brought were also surrounded by the soldiers in the Chinese military camp.

Those pro-soldiers couldn't believe their eyes, those guys were clearly packing up just now, why did they come up in full gear in the blink of an eye? .

'Hit the mark!' Cheng Yuanru screamed in mourning, his mind was spinning, his face was also blue and white, almost in the blink of an eye, he turned around, forced his composure and said to Zhang Yong and Xue Huan: "Du Du, second young master, which one are you singing?" ”

Zhang Yong sneered and was silent, but Xue Huan sneered, stretched out his scarlet tongue, and licked the scar on the side of his mouth...... It was a gift left to him by Kowloonkou. "Second master, I sang with tears and slashing horses!"

"Wronged!" Cheng Yuan shouted "Second Young Master, I have been with Hou Ye for twenty years, but I am loyal and visible every day!" ”

"Then what did you run away from when you saw me?" Xue Huan walked over slowly, looking at Cheng Yuandao.

"This ......" Cheng Yuan finally couldn't withstand the pressure of Xue Huan's fierce spirit, his knees weakened, and he knelt on the ground and said: "The subordinates are just with the King of Han and their false grievances, and they have never colluded together......"

"What are you running for, I ask?" Xue Huan stood in front of Cheng Yuan, slapped Cheng Yuan's helmet lightly and heavily.

"Subordinate, subordinate scared ......" Cheng Yuan was dizzy, and he was even more afraid to death in his heart, the veteran who had been on the battlefield for a long time, tears were coming down at this moment.

"What is Uncle Cheng afraid of?" Xue Huan asked softly, but his eyes were on the three commanders.

The three of them had already knelt on the ground in fright, looking at Xue Huan in fear......

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid you'll kill me......" Cheng Yuan said in a trembling voice.

"Did you really guess right......" Just when Cheng Yuan was already used to his way of slapping the ball, Xue Huan suddenly used his internal force to shoot out a palm that opened the stele and cracked the stone! Just heard a snap, Cheng Yuan's head, which had grown for more than 40 years, was slapped and splashed......
