When he climbed up to the city gate, it was completely dark. Using the torches on the top of the city for illumination, Chu Feng saw the soldiers on the other side of the moat. They were indeed the Pingnan Army under Uncle Chen Er. The general leading the army also knew Hu Yangang, the broadsword general. He is a powerful general like the two-gun general, with superb martial arts skills.
"General Huyan, are you here under orders?"
Chu Feng's voice was very clear in the dark night.
"I, the general, have been ordered by the commander-in-chief to ask you to withdraw your troops. You are now the patrol censor, and you are ordered to investigate the granaries in various places, but you no longer have the authority to order the Fengjiang army. Now the Fengjiang escort must be allowed to return to Fengjiang. Otherwise it is disobeying military orders!"
Huyangang shouted loudly.
"Really? This imperial envoy carries the Emperor's Sword, which represents His Majesty. Doesn't His Majesty have the power to dispatch troops? Huyangang, this imperial envoy comes to ask you, are you my general of Daliang, or are you a lackey of the Xianbei people? You can do it now In front of the soldiers behind you, say it loudly and with conscience in mind!"
Chu Feng's voice was sonorous and powerful, and even more clear.
"Shut up. I am naturally the general of Daliang. I am just here under orders to prevent you from dispatching troops at will. Don't be unreasonable."
Huyangang shouted loudly, with a hint of impatience in his tone.
"Haha, this imperial envoy represents the present His Majesty, but you accuse me of being unreasonably entangled. You are so bold! Huyangang, since you want to rebel and work as a lackey for the Xianbei people, I am not afraid of you, so I just want to ask, who is behind you? Soldiers, do you also want to be the lackeys of the Xianbei people?"
Chu Feng's shouting made Huyangang's expression change a little, and he regretted disobeying the commander's order, which was to rush to the city and attack directly without letting Chu Feng speak!
The soldiers behind them also began to talk about it. They didn't know why they were going to attack the brother army? After listening to Chu Feng's words, I finally understood. I felt like I was on the wrong team. Could it be that General Huyan was going to rebel?
Chu Feng heard the chaos below the city and knew that his words had an effect. He hurriedly shouted: "I have found out that the governor of Nanchang, Chen Zhiqing, is a spy of the Xianbei people. The evidence is conclusive. Even his wife, because she discovered him identity, and was attacked by cold arrows! He is still unconscious! And your Marshal Chen is Chen Zhiqing’s adoptive father! He sent you here to save Chen Zhiqing. Unfortunately, Chen Zhiqing, the Xianbei traitor, has been punished! You guys If you want to avenge a Xianbei spy, you can attack the city. However, I have sent out detective horses to report to the court. Within three to five days, the army will surely arrive. By then, you, this army of lackeys who are attacking the city, will all be destroyed. The Nine Tribes have been reviled by the people of Daliang for thousands of years! And you, Huyangang, will be skinned and cramped, and nailed to the pillar of shame. My last question is: Are you really going to be the lackeys of the Xianbei people?"
"Master Chu, do you really have evidence of Governor Chen's crime? You can't just compile it and fool us, can you?"
Huyangang also changed his tone. Although he was the commander's confidant, he must not act recklessly in the face of such national justice. What if Chen Zhiqing also deceived the commander?
Chu Feng waved his hand, and a dozen armored soldiers who had taken off their armor stood at the top of the city. Chu Feng pointed at him and said, "They were all deceived by Chen Zhiqing to act as his guards. They also saw the governor with their own eyes." Madam, she was assassinated for exposing the true identity of Governor Chen! And the Xianbei token was also found on Chen Zhiqing!"
Chu Feng said, without any hesitation, he directly threw Chen Zhiqing's token down. He is not afraid that the other party will destroy the evidence. He still has a human head exactly like Chen Zhiqing's, but his hairstyle is the Mediterranean bun unique to the Xianbei people!
Soon, Huyangang took the token engraved with Xianbei script from the soldier. After scanning it, he looked solemn because although he didn't understand Xianbei script very well, he could still see some of it. At least he could read it. Chen Zhiqing’s name came out!
"Master Chu, this must be a misunderstanding. The commander-in-chief was also deceived by the evil thief Chen Zhiqing. Now I will take people back and explain everything to the commander-in-chief."
Hu Yangang had already confirmed that Chen Zhiqing, the commander-in-chief's adopted son, was the Xianbei spy and even the backbone of it.
I must never fight Chu Feng again, otherwise what Chu Feng said is absolutely correct, and I will really become a lackey of the Xianbei people! Not to mention that the imperial court wants to kill him, even his ancestors want to curse him to death! The commander must have been deceived!
"Master Chu, I would like to ask again, Miss, how have you been affected?"
Huyangang still couldn't worry about the eldest lady of the Chen family. After all, he was also a general of the Chen family.
"Miss Chen has done a great job in killing the traitor Chen Zhiqing, but she is not in a good condition to come out to meet her."
Chu Feng also heard Hu Yangang's words and felt that he was not a lackey of the Xianbei people, but was just being used or deceived. I couldn't help but feel more relaxed.
If Huyangang ignores this and leads his troops to charge, he won't be able to hold on for long. After all, his troops have at least 30,000 to 40,000 troops!
Although I have muskets here, I don’t have any black powder bombs! Besides, if there was a real fight, the noise would be so great that the whole country would be alarmed!
"Retreat three miles, camp on the spot, and return to Fengjiang tomorrow."
Hu Yangang gave the order on the spot. He would never act as a lackey of the Xianbei people. The soldiers behind him all breathed a sigh of relief. Although the military orders were overwhelming, they really couldn't do it if they really wanted to rebel.
Because that is a matter of killing the nine tribes! And there is no hope of survival at all. The Pingnan Army where he belongs is still the weakest army in Daliang!
On the top of the city, Chu Feng looked at the soldiers retreating in darkness, and he felt a long sigh of relief. At least I have one night planned!
I must also take advantage of this night to find a very reasonable reason for Chen Zhiqing's death!
Not only did he want the people of Daliang to hate him, but he also wanted the people of Xianbei not to realize that he was targeting the people of Xianbei. Only in this way will the Xianbei people be willing to continue doing business with them, and then they can continue to confuse An Mingyuan of Liaodong.
Yue'er took Niushan and the others to take over the surrendered armored troops. Of course, some of the defenders in Nanchang City pretended to maintain the safety of Nanchang and felt that it was none of their business. Just a few officials were kneeling in the front hall of the Governor's Mansion, obeying Chu Feng's arrangements.
In the early morning of the next day, notices were posted in Nanchang: "Chen Zhiqing, the governor of Nanchang, actually coerced his subordinates to sell grain at low prices, and even assassinated his subordinates, and even attacked his wives and daughters, causing public outrage! This imperial envoy even took over Report to the governor’s wife for exterminating relatives for justice, and punish Chen Zhiqing, the criminal, on the spot!”
Still no mention of the Xianbei people, but Chen Zhiqing's method of death. In the same way, he forced his subordinates, even coerced their wives and daughters, and even threatened their subordinates' lives, using power for personal gain! It’s really not a pity to die!
"Snapped!"
In Chen Eryin's big tent, the old man smashed the tea cup! He gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Chu Feng, I really underestimated you!"
