One piece of bad news came one after another, making He Biao feel upset. Even though he hadn't done anything yet, it already made him feel exhausted.
The camp had just experienced a mutiny and internal strife. He had to do his best to stabilize the morale of the army. He also had to decide as soon as possible the punishment for Ximen Sheng, Ma Zhu, Zhang Zhuang, Zheng Bolun and others who sent troops to besiege the Forbidden Army camp without permission...
The rapidly approaching Guan Ning cavalry and representatives of various forces in Liaodong also needed him to send troops immediately to force them to retreat, and he also needed to negotiate with Fang Zhenshan, Wu Shilin and others...
There is also the missing Zhao Junchen, who also needs his full search...
If all of the above things happened alone, no matter how powerful they were, any one of them could be easily accomplished, and they all knew how to do it.
But unfortunately, these things happened at the same time, and He Bao felt that he was stuck in a dilemma.
This kind of clumsiness is not due to a lack of strength, but a lack of intelligence and energy.
It is said that things in this world are always "easy to do but difficult to do", but He Pei's feeling at this time is "easy to do but difficult to do".
He has tens of thousands of elite troops under his command, and he has also received the cooperation and obedience of all Liaodong generals. He is powerful enough to destroy all hostile forces in Liaodong.
However, the situation at hand is too complicated and chaotic, and various variables come from all aspects. He Ji obviously has the advantage of strength, but he has no idea what he should do in order to properly deal with the chaos in front of him, and he doesn't know which matter he should deal with first. Things can achieve the best results...
This feeling of having nowhere to exert all his strength naturally made He Bi extremely uncomfortable.
He Bandit's initial idea was very simple. He only needed to rely on his superior strength to put under house arrest those Liaodong generals who were suspected of usurping power, and then he could temporarily control the situation. Then he would find a way to rescue the commander-in-chief He Yu. Even if his mission is completely over, all he needs to do next is to obey He Yu's military orders. As long as He Yu gets out of trouble, all chaos will be completely under control.
But now, He Bandit discovered that he had indeed thought of things too simply. Some things could not be solved by relying on the superiority of troops. Now he could not even control the situation, and he had not even had time to take a step forward. The gate of the camp is already beyond its capabilities.
Subconsciously, He Bandit turned his attention to He Rensheng beside him, hoping that He Rensheng could provide him with some advice.
It's a pity that He Rensheng's mental vision is indeed much better than that of He Bandit, but it is not enough to cope with the chaos at hand. What's more, He Rensheng himself has always lacked enough judgment and self-confidence. At this time, he is facing all kinds of bad news one after another. , was also at a loss and in a panic, and didn't even notice He Bao's eyes asking for help - even if he had noticed, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to provide much useful advice.
In desperation, He Bandit had no choice but to turn his attention to several Liaodong generals again, hoping that these Liaodong generals who had just been put under house arrest by him could provide some useful suggestions.
It can be said that when the situation has developed to this point, He Bandit must listen to the opinions of several generals. His plan to put several generals under house arrest has already been on the verge of failure before it officially started.
For this situation, smart people like Li Zehe have already expected that, as the saying goes, "If morality is not matched, there will be disaster." , from the very beginning, he was not qualified or capable of controlling the overall situation.
However, no one expected that this situation would occur so early.

In fact, the panic and shock of several Liaodong generals at this time were no less than that of He Bandit.
Especially after receiving the news that Zhao Junchen was missing, several generals were even more panicked, even Ximen Sheng, who had always remained calm and calm before, was no exception.
After all, the prerequisite for the success of Ximensheng's plan is that he can control Zhao Junchen, but now that Zhao Junchen has disappeared, his risky move is not only meaningless, but also has to bear serious consequences.
Therefore, after noticing He Bandit's gaze, Ximen Sheng immediately suggested loudly: "He Qianhu, immediately seal the camp and strictly prohibit anyone from entering or exiting. Then, we will search all places in the camp with all our strength, and we will also torture and interrogate the relevant Forbidden Army officers. Zhao Junchen must be found as soon as possible!
When things have developed to this point, I don’t care how you accuse me of acting without authorization, but we in Liaodong Town must control Zhao Junchen as soon as possible, otherwise it will no longer be possible to rescue the Commander-in-Chief, and the consequences will only be more serious! "
Before Ximen Sheng finished speaking, Li Zehe jumped out and retorted again: "Ximen Sheng! Don't you still think that the chaos you have caused is not big enough? At this time, you still want to ban the arrests and torture and interrogate? You must kill Zhao Gechen and the imperial army Will they all turn into our sworn enemies?"
After saying that, Li Zehe turned to He Qianhu and suggested: "He Qianhu, I think that Zhao Gechen may have been frightened and temporarily hid, and he might even think that our Liaodong Town wants to rebel!
The most urgent task now is to immediately arrest Ximen Sheng, Ma Zhu, Zhang Zhuang, Zheng Bolun and others to face the charges in public, so that Zhao Cabinet understands that this mutiny was only the unauthorized act of a few people in Liaodong Town from beginning to end, and Zhao Cabinet must not be allowed to vent his anger. The entire Liaodong Town! After we convict all those involved in the mutiny, Zhao Gechen will naturally show up after seeing our sincerity!
Alas, I am only worried that Zhao Gechen will be injured in this mutiny. Then things will be even more difficult! "
Hearing Li Zehe's suggestion, Ximen Sheng said angrily: "Such an approach is simply ulterior, selfish and cowardly! You are just so ambitious that you want to usurp power. Now do you want to give away the entire Liaodong Town?" Zhao Junchen can’t do it?
He Qianhu, I hope you think about it carefully. With the temperament of the Commander-in-Chief, if he were to make the decision, he would definitely do nothing at a time like this. So what if he offends Zhao Junchen? How many supervisors and patrols have died in Liaodong over the years? When was Liaodong Town ever afraid? "
"You are the one who is daring and rebellious. It doesn't matter that you are crazy. Are you still tied up with Liaodong Town and buried with you? Is Zhao Gechen an ordinary supervisor and patrol envoy?
He Qianhu, if the General Commander were here, not only would he not do such crazy things without any certainty, but he would definitely put safeguarding the collective interests of Liaodong Town as his top priority after encountering an incident. You cannot follow Ximen at this time. Sheng went crazy together! "
When expressing his stance, Li Zehe was unyielding and extremely tough.
In Li Zehe's eyes, Zhao Junchen's thoughts, safety, and subsequent revenge are not that important, but the current situation is definitely his best chance to overthrow Ximen Sheng in one fell swoop.
As long as Ximen Sheng falls, Li Zehe's plan to usurp power will be considered 80% successful.
At the same time, Gan Cheng, Xu He and others also had the same idea. They followed Li Zehe to accuse Ximen Sheng and encouraged He Bandit to arrest Ximen Sheng as soon as possible and hold him accountable.
On the other side, seeing that Ximen Sheng, Li Zehe and others were still only focusing on criticizing each other at this time, He Bie still couldn't hear any useful suggestions. He became even more annoyed and couldn't help but want to do the following: He shouted and scolded him on the spot.
But at this moment, Huang Shenming, who had always been the most low-key and weakest among the generals, suddenly suggested: "He Qianhu, I think... we currently have too many people in Liaodong Town. Things were being dealt with, and Zhao Gechen’s disappearance was just one of them!
The disappearance of Zhao Gechen is certainly a big deal, but judging from the time, even if Zhao Gechen hides, he will never be able to leave the camp. He must be hiding somewhere in the camp. We only need to seal off the outside of the camp so that Zhao Gechen cannot If you further escape from the camp, you will be able to find him sooner or later, so whether it is to further search and control, or to beg for his forgiveness, it is not particularly urgent!
As for the military morale of the officers and men in the camp, as well as the punishment of General Ximen and others for acting without authorization, the decision can be postponed for the time being.
The top priority right now is that the Guan Ning Cavalry and representatives of various forces in Liaodong, led by Wu Shilin and Fang Zhenshan, are rapidly approaching us!
Even if they have some guesses at the moment, they are absolutely not sure about the kidnapping of Lord Commander-in-Chief, but if they are allowed to reach us so easily, it will be even more difficult to hide this matter, and it will definitely be more troublesome. many!
Therefore, we should be the first to send out the army to drive Wu Shilin and Fang Zhenshan back! "
Hearing Huang Shenming's suggestion, He Biao couldn't help but be startled, and his irritability eased a little.
He did not expect that in the end it was Huang Shenming, the least capable and weakest West Route general, who provided him with effective suggestions, and he also had clear ideas and clear priorities. He was not like Ximen Sheng and Li Zehe who got into trouble and only cared about others. Have your own thoughts.
After thinking for a moment, He Bie thought Huang Shenming's suggestion was the most reasonable and decided to act accordingly.
So, He Bandit waved his hand and said: "Fellow generals, I have to make some adjustments to the plan just now!
Next, General Ximen, General Li, General Gan, General Xu... and thousands of families of Li Shijie all followed Beizi, leading five thousand reinforcements with him to stop Wu Shilin and Fang Zhenshan's actions! However, all the troops stationed in the camp, including the private soldiers under the generals, do not need to participate in this operation. They all stay in the camp and are not allowed to go out at will!
The humble position will leave another 5,000 men responsible for sealing off the outside of the camp! At the same time, General Huang Shen stayed in the camp. During his absence from his humble position, he was temporarily in charge of all matters in the camp. He not only tried to stabilize the morale of the army, but also tried his best to find the whereabouts of Zhao Junchen!
Do you have any objections to these decisions made by your subordinates? "
For He Bandit, this arrangement was the best arrangement he could think of.
He must take the four Liaodong generals, Ximen Sheng, Li Zehe, Gan Cheng, and Xu He, with him, otherwise no one knows whether they will take the opportunity to cause more trouble. As for Li Shijie, as the legitimate son of the general Li family Being a spokesperson is also a variable and must be carried with you as well.
At the same time, He Bie knew that he was not resourceful enough, so he had to take He Rensheng with him to make suggestions and check for gaps.
As for the other Liaodong cavalry reinforcements Qianhu military attache Liu Xiong, he must lead the remaining five thousand reinforcements to be responsible for blocking the camp.
As a result, Huang Shenming was the only person left who was qualified and capable of presiding over the situation in the camp.
What's more, compared to the other four generals who accused each other of betraying Commander-in-Chief He Yu, Huang Shenming had never shown any signs of disloyalty. He was also the most trusted general in the camp. Huang Shenming is responsible for the internal affairs, and He Bandit is relatively at ease.
