Xiong Wuliang first ambushed Qi's pursuing troops, and then turned back to recapture Jin Bei, effectively curbing the speed of Qi's pursuit.
The Chu army was able to take a breather and regrouped in [Jin County].
After counting again, there were less than 40,000 Chu troops left out of the previous 60,000.
Moreover, morale is low, and there are many people who abandon their armor.
The generals of the Chu State gathered together again, and all of them looked extremely ugly. Some of their subordinates, who had suffered many casualties, were so gloomy that they were almost dripping with water.
A strange atmosphere filled the tent.
Many generals looked at each other secretly and exchanged glances with each other.
Zilan was fully clothed and sitting majestically on the main seat: "Raise the account!"
"The Qi army was in a fierce momentum. Fortunately, my commander's command and the soldiers of the three armies worked hard - finally curbed the Qi army's pursuit."
All the generals in the tent curled their lips and watched Zilan's performance coldly.
Zilan seemed unaware: "Now our Chu army still has 40,000 soldiers, which is not inferior to the Qi army!"
"When we regroup, we must avenge our previous disgrace."
Xiong Wuliang, who was sitting below, looked coldly at Zi Lan, who was gilding himself, and said nothing.
In fact, Xiong Wuliang has been in a manic state since the battle in Jinbei.
He never thought that such a tragic situation as the massacre of the city would actually happen in front of him.
Although Jiang Lu and others have been eliminated, Xiong Wuliang is still in a very bad mood——
To the north of Xiapi, there are still nine county towns under the occupation of the Qi people - do you know if those Chu towns are also in the same miserable condition as [Jinbei]?
If Zilan hadn't been the one who stepped on the horse, how could the people of Chu be massacred like this by the people of Qi?
Zilan's voice changed and her tone suddenly became fierce——
"If you want to counterattack the Qi army, you must first clean up the bad apples in our Chu army!"
The generals looked at Zilan coldly, not knowing who they were targeting?
Zilan stretched out her big hand and pointed at Xiong Wuliang——
"Mi Liang, do you know your guilt?"
There was a buzz in the tent and a pot exploded.
If Qu Yangjun hadn't set up an ambush to eliminate the pursuers and then turned back to capture Jin Bei, I'm afraid the Chu army would still be beaten by the Qi people.
Such a great achievement——
Why did he become the 'black sheep'?
Zilan snorted coldly——
"Mi Liang, you have three crimes!"
"First, shake the morale of the military——"
"If you hadn't taken the lead in opposing my decision in Xiapi City, how could it have caused the generals of our three armies to become disorganized, leading to the loss of Xiapi and consecutive defeats?"
"This is a serious crime!"
Xiong Wuliang sat there and looked at Zilan coldly.
Not even bothering to talk back.
"Second, he is good at making opinions -" Zilan was still counting Xiong Wuliang's 'crimes'.
"Without my command, who allowed you to return and fight Qi's army without permission?"
"Although we have won, we must still impose punishments and strictly enforce military law!"
"Third, killing nobles -" Zi Lan narrowed her eyes and said sternly: "How dare you kill Jiang Lu, a noble of Qi State, and endanger the diplomatic peace talks between Qi and Chu!"
"Now that the three crimes are punished at the same time, what else do you have to say?" Zilan said proudly.
The generals stopped in Bengbu.
Everyone burst into an uproar.
Xiong Wuliang's expression remained unchanged, he narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "I have nothing to say."
He wanted to see what kind of tricks Zi Lan wanted to do!
Zilan was overjoyed when she heard this. She didn't expect Xiong Wuliang to plead guilty so easily!
I saw Zilan wave her hand: "Okay! In this case, I will strictly enforce military laws -"
"Three crimes should be punished at the same time, and they should be killed!"
"But considering that Young Master Mi Liang belongs to the royal family of Chu, he is exempt from physical punishment - as long as you surrender your subordinates to my command, I will let you return to your fiefdom."
Zilan's calculations came true.
Although there are more than 3,000 people under Xiong Wuliang's command, the real combat strength is the 1,500 Shaohu Army.
All members of this unit are armored, well-trained, and powerful.
Zilan had long been jealous.
In an ambush battle, 3,000 defeated troops were able to ambush and kill 3,000 Qi troops. Although they set up the ambush to take advantage of the opportunity, they were able to engulf the whole army - still showing the strong combat power of this elite unit.
If you can take this elite team under your command...
Zi Lan smiled happily.
…
Xiong Wuliang was happy.
Blanched, it made me laugh.
You've done a pretty good job with your abacus.
Xiong Wuliang stood up with a smile: "General Zilan, you are also guilty, please allow me to tell you in detail."
Zilan was startled, then furious.
I am the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, and you still dare to scold me?
Xiong Wuliang said in a deep voice: "Law of Chu - Those who lose the army for no reason will die!"
This is an ancient rule of Chu State.
All the generals looked at Zilan coldly——
As soon as these words came out, Zi Lan immediately said angrily: "There are still 40,000 people under my command, and the victory or defeat is not yet known, how can we call it a 'defeated army'?"
Xiong Wuliang raised his hand and said, "Zilan, you, the commander-in-chief, have reached your limit..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Bi, An Lujun and other Chu generals swarmed up and held Zilan firmly.
Zi Lan was horrified: "Do you want to rebel? My soldiers! Where are my soldiers?"
Zilan's soldiers rushed into the tent crazily, but were shot to death by a Shaohu sergeant who had already ambushed him with a repeating crossbow.
All the Chu generals roared angrily: "Gongzi Lan, don't resist anymore!"
They have endured this evil for too long!
Sixty thousand people fought against thirty thousand, and hundreds of miles of land were lost along the way. Hundreds of thousands of Chu people were massacred by the Qi people...
It's all the fault of this dandy commander!
How could the King of Chu appoint such a man to be the commander-in-chief of the three armies? ?
Risking your life, we must not allow this dandy to do whatever he wants! Otherwise, Da Chu will perish!
Wu Bi snatched the military seal letter from Zilan's waist.
Zi Lan's face turned ashen: "How dare you do this...it's a capital crime!"
"Mi Liang! It must be you who did it! You must be the one who took the lead... When you return to Yingdu, I will tell you that your death will be..."
Xiong Wuliang had veins pulsing in his forehead.
After seeing Jin Bei's tragic situation, Xiong Wuliang couldn't calm down - something had to be done.
If you want to counterattack the Qi army, Zilan is the first obstacle that must be removed!
It is true that he secretly contacted the prince and the generals to seize power today.
The generals and the Chu princes were surprisingly united, and after consulting Prince Mi Heng for instructions, they unanimously agreed to get rid of Zilan.
Xiong Wuliang: "Detain him."
The crowd tied up Zi Lan, put a piece of rag with an indistinguishable color in her mouth, and dragged Zi Lan down.
All the generals in the tent bowed to Prince Mi Heng who was standing aside: "Your Highness, please take the seal of command!"
Mi Heng remained silent and sat on the main seat.
He also knew about today's mutiny and fully supported it.
The main reason is that Zilan is so useless that he really can't stand it anymore! If we don't seek change, Chu will be doomed!
Xiong Wuliang and others all paid their respects: "Greetings, Commander-in-Chief..."
Although Mi Heng has never fought in a war...but at this moment, he is the only person with status and status who can take over the army.
Although the status of Xiong Wuliang and other feudal lords is not low, they are not qualified to be in charge of the three armies - especially seizing power through mutiny is very sensitive.
Even if the battle is won, he will definitely be severely punished by King Chu in the end.
The only one who could bear the crime of killing the clan was Prince Mi Heng.
…
On August 16th, the Chu army mutinied, and Prince Mi Heng temporarily became the commander-in-chief of the three armies! The whole country was shocked!
Can Mi Heng, who has also never fought in a war, become the commander-in-chief and turn the tide of the war around?
…
