At dawn, the Weishan battalion, which was 'fleeing in embarrassment', finally arrived in Tengxian County under the leadership of Chang Wei, and the army of the volunteer battalion twenty or thirty miles behind them pursued unhurriedly, and the rumbling cannon sound was almost never stopped.

On the other hand, because Liu Yongming underestimated the officials and soldiers, to be precise, he didn't know anything about the fierce guns and cannons of the Volunteer Battalion, and he extremely mistakenly shrank the 50,000 army into Xicangzhai, and was defeated without the power to fight back!

In fact, if he wanted to deal with the guns and artillery units of the Volunteer Battalion behind the flank without cavalry cover, Liu Yongming only needed to order his subordinates to attack desperately regardless of casualties, even if he could not win the battle, he could make a draw, but now everything has come to naught.

But Liu Yongming still has some ability, seeing that the rout is inevitable, he immediately took three thousand guards and called on the defeated army to divide into dozens of units and flee to Tengxian in a hurry.

When Chen Xingyan, Yang Guosheng, Huang Chongwu and others led their subordinates to Taiping Town, they saw a disastrous Taiping Town. In the mouth of the surrendered troops, Chen Xingyan and Yang Guosheng learned that another part of the volunteer battalion led by Huang Chongwen broke through Taiping Town and swept away Liu Yongming's looting.

All the benefits of Weishan County and Taiping Town were taken away by Chang Wei's people, how can this be explained to the soldiers who have corrupted military discipline? Without the spoils of war, it is likely to provoke the soldiers to mutiny, and it is not a strange thing that they even defect to the White Lotus Sect, Chen Xingyan and Yang Guosheng are furious!

However, Huang Chongwen had already sent troops to Teng County to pursue the Weishan camp, and Chen Xingyan and Yang Guosheng strongly demanded that Huang Chongwu's pretended Chang Wei divide the looted property in Weishan County equally.

Huang Chongwu is not frightened, he played the majesty of Jinyiwei to the fullest, the most terrible thing is the wolf cub of Huikong, he saw the two sides quarreling and directly pulled out a knife in front of Chen and Yang to kill more than ten personal guards, the two of them were angry and wrote to Zhao Yan and the imperial court to rule the four major crimes of arrogance, killing sergeants, oppressing colleagues, and robbing the treasury.

Seeing that the situation suddenly got out of control, Chang Ping immediately persuaded Huang Chongwu to take out a million taels of silver and distribute it to Chen and Yang, so as to avoid the situation of a fire merger. But the rift was difficult to bridge after all, and in front of the enemy of the White Lotus Sect, the two sides only maintained a friendly relationship.

However, Chang Wei didn't know this, as soon as he arrived in Tengxian County, he led the officers to meet Yu Hongzhi of Jingzhou, the deputy head of the White Lotus Sect, and cried to him about the 'traitorous behavior' of Liu Yongming, the governor of the right capital, who bullied the Weishan camp and led the official army to invade Taiping Town!

Immediately, Cang Lingxuan and Wu Qizhi, who fled back to Teng County, also came to see Yu Hongzhi and complained bitterly that Liu Yongming was ineffective in conspiring to seize power and using troops. Chang Wei and others have very little qualifications, and Yu Hongzhi can ignore them, but he can't ignore the opinions of Cang Lingxuan and Wu Qizhi, just when Hongzhi started to investigate the "Xicangzhai seizure of power" incident.

Liu Yongming, the other protagonist of the incident, also led his men to Teng County, and the reason why Liu Yongming came the latest was because he spent time gathering more than 30,000 defeated troops.

Liu Yongming is old in the rivers and lakes and knows that his biggest capital is the Taiping Battalion, and the defeat can also be explained by the common things of soldiers, once he loses all the troops, then he is just a martial arts master with high martial arts.

For the White Lotus Sect, a master is useless for a fierce battle with tens of thousands of troops at every turn. Liu Yongming knew very well that if he lost the army, Xicangzhai would seize military power and even be a traitor.

Coincidentally, the Volunteer Battalion and Chen Xingyan and Yang Guosheng were in trouble because of the spoils of war, so they could not pursue in time, and in fact, it was difficult to effectively pursue the enemy with the heavy firepower of the Volunteer Battalion. The other two officers and soldiers did not have the ability to pursue on a large scale, so Liu Yongming was able to pick up 30,000 defeated troops.

It is not the same as Hongzhi asking each other, Liu Yongming and his subordinates scolded Chang Wei for "mutilating colleagues, provoking mutiny, escaping from the battle, luring wolves into the house" and other traitorous acts!

Now it's Yu Hongzhi's turn to make trouble!

According to the descriptions of both sides, Yu Hongzhi can easily conclude that Liu Yongming is trying to seize military power. But Liu Yongming's power is above Chang Wei, and he is the supreme commander of Taiping Town, he has the right to distribute military power in wartime and command it in a unified manner, and the most important thing is that Liu Yongming did not kill anyone!

Whether it was Xicangzhai disobeying the order in public and injuring Xia Zhongjin and Zhang Cambodiabai, or then killing the two in the cell, or even then returning to the Weishan camp to kill Zhou Nian'an, Meng Xianhan, Chen Zhi and other 1,000 Taiping Camp soldiers, Chang Wei was the first person to kill!

But Yu Hongzhi couldn't betray Chang Wei's crime of "mutilating his colleagues and provoking a mutiny", because when the unlucky Liu Yongming killed the Weishan camp in anger and wanted to kill Chang Wei, the official army happened to start attacking. According to all the officers of the Weishan Battalion, they were afraid that the Taiping Battalion and the officers and troops would be attacked before and after, so they made the decision to retreat and retain their strength.

This excuse is completely reasonable, no matter who is in that situation, as long as he doesn't want to die in vain, he will make a reasonable decision to retreat and ask his boss to avenge himself.

In this way, is it even more impossible to betray Liu Yongming as a traitor, to mutilate his colleagues, and to lure a wolf into the house?

Liu Yongming is not only a veteran and general of the White Lotus Sect, but he also has a reason! Is it unreasonable for your Weishan battalion not to obey the command and relieve me of your military power? If you kill someone, I will come to the door and ask what is wrong with the crime? Can the fact that the officials and soldiers happen to call me to prove that I am a traitor? There are battles every day on the front lines of Taipingshan and Xicangzhai, and it is normal for the officers and soldiers to kill each other!

Both sides said that they were wronged, and the other deserved to die. And both sides have backers. The backing of the Weishan Camp is the heroic King Xu Heyu, and the Taiping Camp on the other side seems to be the backing of the 57th Battalion.

In fact, Yu Hongzhi knew that the 57th Battalion was the loyal subordinate of the Holy Mother Hou Qiongyin, and he also knew that the 57th Battalion was not just a spy. They even have the ability to set up another mountain to fight against the sect leader Xu Hongru, so even Xu Hongru has to give three points to him. This kind of secrecy is unknown to others, but Yu Hongzhi knows it clearly, and Liu Yongming can join forces with the 57th Battalion, so he must also know this secret.

Therefore, this matter is very tricky! What Yu Hongzhi hates now is not the two sides that are making trouble in front of him, but the official army! If the official army completely wiped out the army of either the Taiping Camp or the Weishan Camp in last night's raid, then he could directly rule that one side was a traitor and report it to Xu Hongru for Xu Hongru to deal with.

But now that both sides have 30,000 troops, a situation where a bad situation will immediately lead to a fire merger, and the war is likely to affect him at that time, which will make the people of Tengxian panic.

Now what he hopes most is that the official army will come over quickly, and under the suppression of the official army, the Taiping Battalion and the Weishan Battalion should join forces against the enemy, and when the time comes, a large number of people will die, so that all the hatred between the two sides will be transferred to the heads of the officials and soldiers, and this matter will be over.

What disappointed Yu Hongzhi was that the official army actually used Taiping Town as a base and cowered and wandered 50 miles south of Tengxian County, not attacking at all! What the hell were the officers and troops doing? Where was their courage last night? Why didn't they attack!

"Why don't you attack yet!"

In the stone fort in Taiping Town, Yang Guosheng and Chen Xingyan were also questioning Huang Chongwu. (To be continued.) )
