When the three generals Xu He, Li Zehe, and Gan Cheng rushed outside the camp to prepare for the reinforcements from Liaodong, they found that Ximen Sheng had already arrived there in advance and was standing aside waiting silently.
Today, Xu He, Li Zehe, Gan Cheng and Ximen Sheng have completely broken up with each other. Therefore, both parties just glanced at each other, and then stood still, ignoring each other, and even nodded in greeting. No interest at all.
About a stick of incense later, Huang Shenming, the commander of the West Road, and Li Shijie, a Qianhu cavalryman from Liaodong, also came together.
After these two people appeared, they greeted the four generals respectively, which slightly relaxed the atmosphere.
However, because everyone has their own thoughts and different stances, and at the moment they are all just thinking about how they should try their best to win the trust and support of the reinforcements in Liaodong Town, so after the atmosphere eased slightly, it soon Quiet again.
About a quarter of an hour later, the mighty Liaodong reinforcements finally appeared within everyone's field of vision.
More than 3,000 Liaodong cavalry reinforcements, plus more than 7,000 reinforcements from various defense areas in Liaodong Town, totaled more than 10,000 troops. They were divided into three groups and were outflanking everyone's position.
As the saying goes, "If a person exceeds a thousand, there is no limit; if a person exceeds ten thousand, the ground reaches the sky." The scene of tens of thousands of troops acting together in front of us is naturally extremely shocking. Ordinary people will definitely feel deeply after seeing such a scene. Stressed and frightened.
However, everyone present was a frontier general who had seen blood and killed people on the battlefield. They were not surprised by such a scene and had no further reaction.
However, when they saw various Liaodong reinforcements gradually approaching their camp, they did not contact them immediately. Instead, the army in the middle formed a defensive formation and the left and right wings continued to encircle them. Finally, their expressions changed slightly. .
Obviously, the various reinforcements in Liaodong wanted to completely surround their camp and control everyone in one fell swoop.
This situation also means that He Bandit, He Rensheng, and Liu Xiong do not trust any of them at all and want to take control of the situation personally!
For such a situation, whether it was Ximen Sheng, Xu He, Li Zehe, Gan Cheng, or Li Shijie and Huang Shenming, they all more or less expected it beforehand, but when they saw this kind of thing actually happen, After that, I still couldn't help but change my mood and change my mood.
On the other side, after the reinforcements from all over Liaodong completely surrounded the camp, He Bandit first asked Liu Xiong to stay in his own army, while he took He Rensheng and hundreds of cavalry and rode towards Ximen Sheng, Li Zehe and others.
Seeing He Bandit and He Rensheng finally showing up, Ximen Sheng felt a little hesitant.
After all, he is not only the general of Liaodong Zhenbei Road, but also the sworn brother of Commander-in-Chief He Yu, and he himself has always attached great importance to the relationship of superiority and inferiority in the military. Now having him come out to greet He Bandit and others in person is already a sign of condescension. , felt uncomfortable all over, so he was a little hesitant at this time, not knowing whether he should further bow down to He Bao and others.
However, people like Ximen Sheng who attach too much importance to principles and rules are destined to suffer losses many times.
Just when Ximen Sheng was hesitating, Li Zehe, Gan Cheng, and Xu He did not hesitate at all, and did not care about their own dignity or respect. They immediately took the initiative to ride their horses towards He Bandi and He Rensheng, just like leading the army. The people who came were not three mere soldiers, but their immediate superiors.
As Li Zehe, Gan Cheng, and Xu He took the initiative to greet them, the supporters of the three generals also followed behind.
Next, after Li Shijie and Huang Shenming looked at each other, they also rode their horses to greet them without much hesitation.
In this way, and in addition, Ximen Sheng left all the Liaodong military attachés who supported him in the camp to make other arrangements. At this time, Ximen Sheng was the only one standing alone outside the gate of the camp, watching. Quite eye-catching.
Seeing this situation, Ximen Sheng couldn't help but change his expression slightly. He secretly scolded Li Zehe, Huang Shenming and others for being shameless and looking down on themselves. They actually used their status as a frontier army general to please He Bandit and He Rensheng. Military attache Qianhu.
Then, he thought that if he followed Li Zehe, Xu He, Gan Cheng and others, he would not only miss the opportunity and be a step too late, but also appear to be too passive and damage his image, so Ximen Sheng simply stayed where he was. Without moving, he straightened his waist more and more, showing a clear conscience and an upright body that was not afraid of slanted shadows.
But Ximen Sheng soon regretted it more and more!
Xu He, Li Zehe, and Gan Cheng took the initiative to meet He Biao and He Rensheng with their supporters. They took advantage of the opportunity of the two parties to make contact first and quickly entered the performance state. Then they spared no effort to rush to Ximen Sheng. A lot of dirty water was thrown on him.
Ximen Sheng looked from a distance and saw that Xu He first took out a thick stack of paper from his arms and handed it to He Bao for review, and then turned around with an angry expression and pointed at his position, as if he was trying to accuse him of something.
At the same time, Li Zehe and Gan Cheng also nodded one after another, and they also kept talking and supporting each other.
Then, the group of supporters behind the three generals came forward to testify one after another, swearing all kinds of things. Ximen Sheng even saw some people cut their palms with knives on the spot and draw blood to show their sincerity.
"...Ximen Sheng is unfaithful and unjust..."
"...He was the one who colluded with the Jianzhou Jurchens to kidnap the Commander-in-Chief..."
"...rebellious behavior, seller seeking glory..."
"...He is ambitious and covets the position of Commander-in-Chief..."
Listening to these loud shouts from a distance, Ximen Sheng's face became even more livid, and he just wanted to rush over and kill all these villains who were confusing right and wrong!
However, Ximen Sheng also knew that this situation of being surrounded by enemies and being criticized by thousands of people was also due to his own fault and stupidity.
At the beginning, Zhao Junchen handed over the task of investigating the Jurchen spies in Jianzhou to Ximen Sheng himself, and handed over the matter of merit, demerit, reward and punishment to Li Zehe, Xu He, and Gan Cheng. It seemed that both parties held great power and no one was afraid of the other. , but in fact, Ximen Sheng’s power must offend people, but the power of Li Zehe and others can create many good relationships. Therefore, the more the two sides use their respective powers to fight, the more isolated and helpless Ximen Sheng is. But when Ximen Sheng discovered this After one o'clock, everything is too late.
Now, Ximen Sheng, who once had a higher prestige in the army, has far less supporters in the army than Li Zehe, Gan Cheng, and Xu He. Naturally, he has fallen behind in terms of popularity.
Thinking of this, Ximen Sheng secretly gritted his teeth and hated Zhao Junchen's shameless and despicable methods. He also wished that Ma Zhu and others would take action immediately to give Zhao Junchen a good look.
In this way, after waiting for another incense stick, He Bandit and He Rensheng finally got rid of the entanglement of Li Zehe, Gan Cheng, Xu He and others, and rode with them to the front of Ximen Sheng.
After seeing Ximen Sheng, He Bi looked at Ximen Sheng with doubts in his eyes.
According to He Bandit's initial thoughts, among the several generals, he originally trusted Ximen Sheng more. However, after He Rensheng's investigation, his trust in Ximen Sheng has been shaken. Now because of Li Zehe and Gan Cheng After the villains such as , Xu He and others complained first and provided him with a large number of detailed "witnesses" and "circumstantial evidence", the suspicion of Ximen Sheng reached its peak.
However, He Bandit did not forget the dignity and inferiority in the army. After arriving in front of Ximen Sheng, he and He Rensheng got off their horses and saluted Ximen Sheng: "He Bandit (He Rensheng), who is of humble rank, has met General Ximen!"
But then, without waiting for Ximen Sheng's reply, He Bandit stood up directly and said: "Please forgive me, General Ximen. Since I led the army to Hujiazhuang, I saw you, General Ximen, General Xu and General Li. The three generals, General Gan and General Gan Shen, each accused the other of betraying the Commander-in-Chief. You accused the three generals of wanting to seize the opportunity to usurp power. The three generals even accused you of secretly colluding with the Jianzhou Jurchens. Managed to kidnap Lord Commander...
Just now, Generals Xu, Li, and Gan provided a large number of witnesses and circumstantial evidence to the subordinates, all of which can prove that their accusations are true...
The humble position is just an illiterate person. He doesn’t know who to trust, and he has no power to investigate the generals. However, at present, the commander-in-chief is still controlled by the kidnappers. The humble position is eager to be the savior and does not want to Seeing that the Commander-in-Chief would have more risks, he could only act arbitrarily!
Next, I hope that Ximen Shen will aggrieve himself and leave the defense matters in the camp and the task of rescuing the General Soldier to Beiji and others. During this period... Beiji will also send people to properly protect Ximen Shen. Will be safe! "
Ximen Sheng asked with a stern face: "So... you not only want to believe Li Zehe and others' false accusations, but you also want to pretend that this general is under house arrest?"
He Bandit shook his head and said: "Beizhi doesn't trust anyone now, but only himself! So not only you, Beizhi will also take over the ownership and responsibilities of General Xu, General Li, and General Gan, and will also send people to protect them properly. The three of them are safe!"
Seeing that He Bandit's statement was too strong, He Rensheng quickly smoothed things over and said: "During this period of time, the responsibilities of all the generals have been too heavy, so they must be exhausted, so it is better to take the opportunity to rest! Wait until the subordinates and others can successfully rescue the general. Your Excellency, the Commander-in-Chief will definitely investigate the truth thoroughly and prove the innocence of all the generals, and those who hold low positions will also take their own punishment from the Commander-in-Chief!"
As the words of He Bandit and He Rensheng fell, Li Zehe, Xu He, and Gan Cheng, who had been watching with sneers just now, all changed their expressions slightly, but such changes were within their expectations, and they did not express any more. !
However, while everyone was talking, no one noticed that one of Ximen Sheng's soldiers quietly left here and returned to the camp.
And just when Ximen Sheng was sullen and did not respond, suddenly a Liaodong soldier galloped up, hurriedly ran in front of everyone, and reported loudly: "Generals, something bad is going wrong! Something bad is going wrong! Near Hujiazhuang!" The Guanning Cavalry, Liaodong regiment training, Liaodong branch training, as well as civil and military officials at all levels, and old rural gentry, all forced their way out of their camps and rushed towards us!"
Upon hearing such a report, everyone present, whether it was He Bandit and He Rensheng who had the advantage in military strength, Li Zehe, Gan Cheng, and Xu He who thought they had a good chance of winning, or Ximen Sheng who had already made up his mind to burn the boat. His face changed drastically!
The development of this situation finally completely exceeded everyone's expectations!

In this way, with the various forces appearing one after another, the situation in Liaodong has turned into a mess.
