According to the results of previous negotiations, at three o'clock on the day, Ma Zhu, Zhang Zhuang, Zheng Bolun and others will lead their Liaodong cavalry to leave the Forbidden Army station, lay down their weapons and body armor, completely abandon all resistance, and accept Huang Shenming Arranged surveillance and confinement.
At the same time, Huang Shenming wanted to ensure that he would not abuse or humiliate the other party, ensure their daily food supply, and could not announce their crimes and punishments without authorization. The final decision would have to wait until the senior military attachés of Liaodong Town discussed collectively. It was decided... In addition, Huang Shenming also wanted to return Shicheng to them and imprison him in the same place.
In short, the result of this negotiation can be said to be that everyone gets what he needs. Those Liaodong cavalry who launched the mutiny did not gain anything, at least their temporary safety with Shicheng was ensured, while Huang Shenming himself gained face, prestige, and and achievements.
So, at 3:00 p.m., Huang Shenming arrived outside the former Forbidden Army station on time, waiting impatiently for Ma Zhu, Zhang Zhuang, Zheng Bolun and others to surrender to him.
In order to demonstrate his achievements and prestige, Huang Shenming also deliberately invited many middle-level military attachés in the camp to witness.
Therefore, when Huang Shenming appeared, he was accompanied by many Liaodong cavalry military attaches, such as Zhang Yiyang, Ma Bi, Qin Yebai and others from the Liaodong cavalry family - these people were all Liaodong cavalry military attaches loyal to Li Shijie; and for example, a few The leader of the private army of Liaodong General, including Xie Changde of Qianhu in North Road Defense Area, Bai Yong of Qianhu in South Road Defense Area, Pang Wushang of Qianhu in East Road Defense Area, etc.
In addition, Huang Shenming also invited Huang Ke, the inspector general of Liaodong, to watch and witness together.
In fact, Huang Shenming originally planned to call several Forbidden Army military attachés to come out and watch this "grand event", but those Forbidden Army military attachés directly rejected Huang Shenming's call, saying that all the Forbidden Army officers and soldiers were captured and imprisoned because of this mutiny. After two or three days, they have just got out of trouble. At a time when the morale of the soldiers is unstable, they have to do their best to stabilize the morale of the soldiers, and it is not convenient to leave the station.
Huang Shenming was naturally very dissatisfied with the explanation given by the Forbidden Army military attachés. He believed that he had rescued these Forbidden Army officers and soldiers and was their great benefactor, so they should obey his words.
But in the end, Huang Shenming did not force it. After all, he was only the general of Liaodong Town and had no right to command these Forbidden Army soldiers. Moreover, he just wanted to establish prestige within Liaodong Town, so as long as representatives of all forces in Liaodong Town came forward to witness Well, as for whether the representatives of the Forbidden Army appeared or not, it was just a detail.
Compared with these Forbidden Army attaches, what made Huang Shenming even more annoyed was that those military attaches in the West Road Defense Zone who had betrayed him also found various reasons for not showing up. They were obviously determined to avoid Huang Shenming, so Huang Shenming issued military orders on the spot, further reducing the logistics supply for these people, and threatened in public that he would severely punish them for disobeying military orders.
However, Huang Shenming will soon regret these decisions!
*
Seeing that the third quarter of Mao hour is approaching, Ma Zhu, Zhang Zhuang, Zheng Bolun and others have begun to direct their Liaodong cavalry to assemble the entire team, abandon their troops and disarm, and have also removed all defense lines and alerts. They will formally surrender at any time and gather in Huang. The Liaodong military attaches around Shen Ming all expressed their congratulations.
"Congratulations to General Huang Shen for successfully quelling this mutiny. What a great achievement!"
"When He Qianhu, the bandit, and the generals return to the camp and see Huang Shen's achievements in quelling the mutiny, they will definitely take a high look."
"On behalf of all the border army officers and soldiers in the East Road Defense Area, I would like to express my humble position. As long as you don't want to investigate my general's camp, you will definitely cooperate with General Huang's military orders!"
After hearing the various compliments from the Liaodong military attachés, who all secretly expressed their submission, Huang Shenming couldn't help but smile, feeling that he had overall control over the situation in the camp.
Feeling proud, Huang Shenming secretly thought: "The next step... is to find a way to deal with the traitors in the West Road Defense Zone who betrayed me!
snort! That's all for the Forbidden Army. I couldn't control them originally, but those traitors dared to disobey the general's order and avoided seeing them one after another... Next, I must make them look good!
Reducing their logistics supplies again is only the first step. I will also arrange all kinds of thankless and heavy tasks for them. When all the soldiers under their command are complaining, it will be the time when I will punish them..."
But just as Huang Shenming was thinking about it, Huang Ke, the Liaodong inspector on the side, couldn't help but asked: "Excuse me, General Huang, have you found the whereabouts of Zhao Gechen? Zhao Gechen has been missing for nearly three days. , this is no small matter! We must search with all our strength!"
When asking, Huang Ke's expression and tone could be described as particularly anxious.
After several "heart-to-heart" conversations with Zhao Junchen, Huang Ke has regarded Zhao Junchen as his lifelong goal, and even pinned his lifelong ambition on Zhao Junchen, so he discovered that Zhao Junchen was missing. After that, Huang Ke became the most anxious and worried person in the whole camp.
After hearing Huang Ke's inquiry, Huang Shenming's expression was a little strange, and he shook his head and said: "This general is also particularly concerned about the whereabouts of Zhao Gechen. He searches the entire camp every day, which can be said to be digging three feet... but he still cannot be found. Traces of Zhao Gechen!
However, Mr. Huang does not need to worry too much. I have also carefully questioned Ma Zhu, Zhang Zhuang, Zheng Bolun and others. After they launched the mutiny, they did not see Zhao Gechen, let alone cause harm to Zhao Gechen. Therefore, Zhao Gechen should have seen him. After the mutiny occurred, he hid in an unexpected place in time and did not suffer any harm. As the general successfully quelled the mutiny, perhaps Zhao Gechen will show up soon! "
As he spoke, Huang Shenming frowned slightly, and felt that he could not just protect Zhao Junchen like this, and should let Zhao Junchen show up in public.
Huang Ke interrupted Huang Shenming's thoughts again, and said again worriedly: "But after hearing all kinds of rumors, I am still a little worried... Although those rumors sound ridiculous, they may not necessarily stop them. It will happen, what should we do if those rumors come true?”
Huang Shenming was stunned for a moment and asked, "Rumors? What rumors?"
In the past two days, Huang Shenming had only focused on negotiating with the Liaodong cavalry who had launched a mutiny, and had not paid attention to the various rumors in the camp. At this time, after hearing Huang Ke's statement, he knew that there were people in the camp. Rumors spread.
On the other side, after hearing Huang Shenming's rhetorical question, it was everyone's turn to be surprised. They did not expect that the relevant rumors would spread so widely, but Huang Shenming did not notice any signs from beginning to end.
You must know that it is a basic duty for military leaders to pay attention to the opinions and attitudes of their soldiers in a timely manner.
Then, everyone explained the specific content of the relevant rumors to Huang Shenming in detail, that is, "After seeing the mutiny, Zhao Junchen panicked and fled into the dense forest. Then he was kidnapped again by the kidnappers in the dense forest. Now he is suffering all kinds of things." torture, and may have died tragically at the hands of the kidnappers" and so on.
After hearing various versions of the relevant rumors, Huang Shenming certainly disagreed.
Where is Zhao Junchen hiding now? Others don't know, and he doesn't know yet? It is sheer nonsense to say that "Zhao Junchen escaped into the dense forest and was kidnapped again" or even "died tragically after being tortured."
However, while not taking it seriously, Huang Shenming felt vaguely that something was wrong.
After all, the relevant rumors spread so fast. They spread throughout the entire camp in just over a day, and many people believed them... It was as if there was a mastermind behind the scenes who was trying his best to spread the relevant rumors everywhere.
Although Huang Shenming is not shrewd, he still has some knowledge. Naturally, he understands the abnormality of this phenomenon. No matter how exaggerated ordinary rumors are, they cannot spread so quickly.
Unfortunately, before Huang Shenming had time to think carefully, the time had officially arrived at 3:30. The Liaodong cavalry who launched the mutiny also began to leave the former Forbidden Army station in batches, preparing to formally surrender to Huang Shenming.
After seeing this situation, Huang Shenming quickly put aside his doubts and planned to deal with the major matter in front of him first.
However, just as Huang Shenming was about to take a step forward and accept the public surrender of Ma Zhu, Zhang Zhuang, Zheng Bolun and others, he suddenly saw Song Hui, a subordinate of Qianhu, rushing towards him on a fast horse.
After running directly in front of Huang Shenming, Song Hui immediately got off his horse and reported loudly: "General Huang Shenming, something bad is going wrong! Something bad is going wrong!"
Huang Shenming was shocked and asked quickly: "What happened?"
Song Hui explained anxiously: "Those Forbidden Army soldiers actually believed the rumor that Zhao Gechen was currently being tortured by kidnappers in the dense forest, so they left their camp without warning, saying that they were going to enter the dense forest. Rescue Zhao Gechen!"
"What? Zhao Gechen is definitely not in the dense forest! But the commander-in-chief is still controlled by the kidnappers in the dense forest! If the forbidden army is allowed to rush into the dense forest like this, what should be done if it stimulates the kidnappers and kills the commander-in-chief? Quick! Send someone to stop them!"
Song Hui smiled bitterly and said: "After Beizhi heard the news, he immediately sent out troops to intercept the imperial army first, but... Zhang Shuncheng, Li Hong and others, after seeing Beizhi suddenly sending troops passing near their station, they... I mistakenly thought that you, General Huang Shen, wanted to send troops to attack them, and reacted extremely violently, so the interception troops sent by Beizhi not only failed to stop the imperial army, but instead broke out into conflicts with Zhang Shuncheng, Li Hong and others!"
