General Zhenxi arrived quickly and led a group of troops into Liuyun County the next morning.
Also coming with him were Fenwei Zhonglang General Fu Cheng, who was in charge of the northernmost defense line of Yinshan County, and Yangwei Zhonglang General Liu Xingze, who was in charge of the southern defense line of Wuping County.
The atmosphere in the entire Liuyun County became extremely solemn with the arrival of many military attachés and soldiers. This situation had not happened in Liuyun County for a long time.
County government.
The place that originally handled the government affairs of a county has been directly transformed into a military-controlled area. The walls are surrounded by soldiers wearing armor, and not even a mouse can get inside.
Wang Cheng and Zhu Pengfei, both dressed in battle armor, cautiously entered the county government office.
As military commanders leading thousands of troops, they were actually not qualified to participate in such a military meeting, but who made them the main figures in killing the Black Hawk Army this time?
There were already many people in the hall, including several wearing general uniforms, and several line-ups of captains.
Wang Cheng actually saw Jianwei Zhonglang General Zhu Bangguo among the crowd. He looked at Zhu Pengfei aside and wanted to ask, "Why didn't you say anything when your father came?"
Zhu Pengfei looked confused and secretly shook his head at Wang Cheng, saying that he didn't know either.
Zhu Bangguo stood in front of a group of generals. There were only two people beside him, one was the sturdy Fenwei Zhonglang General Fu Cheng, and the other was the slim Yangwei Zhonglang General Liu Xingze.
After not seeing him for a few days, Zhu Bangguo seemed to have aged more than ten years, and a lot of white hair had grown on his head.
Just as Wang Cheng was sizing up Zhu Bangguo, a deep voice sounded in his ears.
"Is this Wang Sima here? Come forward!"
After Wang Cheng heard the sound, he quickly recovered, walked quickly, walked in front of everyone, and stood in a row with Zhu Bangguo.
This was the first time he met Song Huchen, the general of Zhenxi, and the first time he observed this important general in the army up close.
Because Zhou Dynasty has not had a war with its neighboring countries for more than ten years, the four generals of Zhendong, Zhenxi, Zhennan, and Zhenbei are already the generals leading the single army.
He is very ordinary, not tall and not strong, about fifty or sixty years old. At first glance, he looks like a worker doing rough work, but his eyes are like those of a tiger.
When he is kind, he is like a cat with narrowed eyes, but when he is angry, he turns around and turns into a tiger.
Wang Cheng had seen similar eyes. They were those of a general who truly crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. He was not the kind of person who sings, writes, or draws.
His body tensed up instantly and he performed a military salute: "Wang Cheng, pay your respects to the general."
"good!"
Song Huchen smiled, then walked up to Wang Cheng, raised Wang Cheng's hand high, and said to everyone: "You must have heard about this person, Captain Black Eagle Killed in Formation, there is no need for me to go and say more." , what I was going to say was that the Black Hawk Army planned a riot in Nag Tau Town and wanted to rob tens of thousands of horses back to the west, and he discovered it."
Except for Zhu Bangguo, whose expression remained as usual, everyone else in the hall was more or less surprised.
Song Huchen continued: "I will tell you again that he discovered the Black Eagle Army's conspiracy that day and chased him all the way. He killed more than 200 Black Eagle Army members in a row. He was not even a member of our army, he was still a white man!"
As soon as these words came out, almost everyone in the hall showed a look of horror.
How could he, a mere white man, dare to hunt down the world-famous Black Hawk Army alone?
Your brain is squeezed by the door!
"Treat your home as your home, your town as your hometown, your country as your country, and the world as your world."
Song Huchen suddenly raised his voice and said: "Wang Cheng, a mere white person, can think of the people and the country. Aren't you soldiers who are the cornerstone of protecting the country ashamed?"
All the generals lowered their heads silently. They all knew that Song Huchen was trying to beat them.
Thousands of Black Eagle troops were burning, killing and looting in the Great Zhou Dynasty. It was as if they were in an uninhabited land. The generals responsible for guarding the western defense line had no idea beforehand.
This is like slapping them in the face in front of everyone in the world!
Song Huchen continued: "You have been comfortable for too long. You have not used weapons for more than ten years. Many of you have forgotten the taste of blood and fire."
He put down Wang Cheng's hand and walked towards the front of the hall. When he turned around to face the crowd, he completely changed and his evil aura rose up, like a tiger trying to devour people.
"Zhu Yong, Zhang Minghao, Liu Junqing, and Hu Bing, come out!"
Song Huchen named four people in succession, and all those whose names were called walked out uneasily.
"Somebody come!"
Song Huchen shouted outside, and two teams of people rushed in immediately.
He said expressionlessly: "Drag him out and chop him!"
The four people were already uneasy, but when they heard the word "cut", their legs became weak.
"General! Spare your life!"
"General! It's unfair!"
…
The four people lay on the ground, crying and shouting that they were wronged. The heartbreaking look was moving.
Seeing that Song Huchen was unmoved, the four of them asked their generals for help.
"General! I was wronged!"
"General! Save me!"
…
Zhu Bangguo, the general of Jianwei Zhonglang, Fu Cheng, the general of Fenwei Zhonglang, and Liu Xingze, the general of Yangwei Zhonglang, all turned their heads to one side and did not look at them.
"Second brother! Do you really want to die without saving me? I am your younger brother who has not yet emerged from the fifth server!" Zhu Zheng shouted towards Zhu Bangguo.
Zhu Bangguo's face showed a look of pain, but he soon recovered as before. He gritted his teeth and said, "Collaborating with the enemy and treason will be punished by everyone!"
"Second brother! Are you really so cruel? Did you personally promise my grandfather back then that you would protect me no matter what happens in the future!" Zhu Zheng stayed on the ground desperately trying not to be taken away.
Zhu Bangguo said angrily: "If Third Grandpa knew that you were collaborating with the enemy and treason, his coffin wouldn't even be able to hold it down! I don't have a clan brother like you!"
After Zhu Zheng heard this, he gave up completely.
All four people were dragged out of the lobby, and with the sound of a machete being struck, there was no more crying.
Zhu Pengfei witnessed the whole scene and stood there motionless.
The clan uncle had always had a good relationship with him, and he often hugged him when he was young. Later, when he traveled around the country, the other party prepared a lot of money for him.
How could such a person be a spy?
He couldn't understand it, and he didn't want to think about it, because he was afraid of thinking of the gold and silver that his clan uncle had given him.
If the other party is a spy, is he one of the "culprits"?
"I know that you are reluctant to let go. After all, they are all old subordinates who have been with you for many years, and they are even close to each other. However, the military orders are as follows. Anyone who collaborates with the enemy and treason must be killed according to the law!"
Song Huchen looked at the people in the hall and said expressionlessly: "If you don't get rid of these moths today, they will kill you and all of us tomorrow!"
After hearing this, the three lieutenants of Zhu Bangguo looked solemn and said in unison: "Collaborating with the enemy and treason shall be executed according to the law!"
Song Huchen said again: "Don't think that this general is ruthless. If Wang Cheng had not contributed, do you think you still have this general and can stand here and talk properly? You all have to thank him!"
Everyone couldn't help but change their expressions. Just as Song Huchen said, if Wang Cheng hadn't fought to the death, wiped out half of the Black Eagle Army, and beheaded the Black Eagle Captain, then a ruthless trial would have been waiting for them.
The King of Zhou would never allow the Black Eagle Army to burn, kill, and plunder wantonly in the territory of Great Zhou. The impact would be too great. If all the Black Hawks escaped, he would definitely hold them accountable, and then the entire Western Army would be decimated.
Song Huchen looked at Wang Cheng and said, "You saved our entire Western Army and are the great benefactor of the Western Army!"
"Don't dare!" Wang Cheng quickly bowed and saluted.
He was still not thick-skinned enough, and his face felt hot and flushed after being praised in front of so many generals.
Song Huchen helped Wang Cheng up and said with a smile: "There's nothing you shouldn't do. When you first join the army, you may not be able to adapt to it for a while, but you will know after a while. The army is not like the court, there are not so many twists and turns."
"I understand," Wang Cheng said, clasping his fists.
Song Huchen patted Wang Cheng on the shoulder, turned around and said to the remaining generals: "The reason why I called you here today is to deal with the spies and to deploy the western defense line."
After hearing this, several people immediately straightened their bodies.
Song Huchen immediately asked someone to fetch a map and hang it in front of the hall. Pointing to a place on the map, he turned back to Fu Cheng and said, "Fu Cheng, after you go back, you will move 5,000 troops and station fifty miles west."
"Fifty miles to the west? Isn't that where Xiaoyin Mountain is?" Fu Cheng was confused.
Song Huchen nodded and said: "That's right! It's Xiaoyin Mountain."
Fu Cheng rubbed his chin and said, "If we allocate half of our troops to Xiaoyin Mountain, the pressure on the north will be great."
"Don't worry about this for now! Follow the order!" Song Huchen said in a tough tone.
"yes!"
Fu Cheng banged his chest with his fist, stepped aside and stopped talking.
You can keep your opinions, but orders must be carried out. This is the basic quality of a soldier.
Song Huchen pointed to another location on the map, turned back and said to Zhu Bangguo: "From now on, all your troops will evacuate the Lushan Camp and station themselves at Qianqiufeng in the west."
Zhu Bangguo didn't say anything, and just performed the standard military salute: "You have the order!"
Then, he asked Liu Xingze, the powerful general of Zhonglang, to move his 10,000 horses fifty miles westward.
"General, if you mobilize so many troops to the west at once, are you going to attack the west?" Liu Xing couldn't help but ask.
Song Huchen narrowed his tiger eyes and said: "Thousands of Black Eagle troops have been dispatched from the west to harass our border. If I don't show some expression, wouldn't I be too spineless?"
A thousand Black Hawks may not sound like a large number, but each Black Hawk can equal one to ten. Even if Zhu Bangguo has 10,000 troops, his combat effectiveness is not necessarily better than a thousand Black Hawks.
So many Black Eagle troops rushed into the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty, burning, killing and looting, which was equivalent to launching a medium-sized battle.
In the past, the Black Eagle Army would also rush into the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty to plunder, but these were small groups, usually dozens, and no more than a hundred. It was rare for thousands of Black Eagle Army to be directly used like this.
"If you ask me, it's better to just attack the border with a large army and attack a few states first!" Zhu Bangguo was very angry.
His brother Zhu Zheng was beheaded, which was against the law. He couldn't find any fault, but without the Xia people's collusion, Zhu Zheng would never have become a spy so easily, so he blamed the Xia people for everything.
Fu Cheng and Liu Xingze were also very angry. After all, their old subordinates had died, so they also clamored to send an army to suppress the situation and teach the Xia people a lesson.
Song Huchen stretched out his hand to interrupt the three of them and said, "Okay! You go back and prepare first!"
