When Ling Xingshuang took charge of the Beiyou Army, he naturally wanted to hand over military power to his confidants.
The eight leading generals are all confidants, among whom Huo Zilong, Bai Yunqi, and Zheng Tianji are Ling Xingshuang's apprentices.
"Where's the castrated dog Su Kang?"
Huo Zilong has a cold and arrogant personality, but now his face is full of anger and murderous intent.
His master died and was harmed by the imperial court. He wanted revenge, so he bore the brunt and killed Su Kang, the gelding.
General Du Ankang's face was solemn and he reminded: "Huo Zilong, don't mess around! The news about the general's accident is probably a rumor. How could the imperial court kill the county prince!"
Huo Zilong turned to Du Ankang and said coldly: "I can't care about that! If something happens to the general, then I will definitely avenge him!"
"That's right! The general has been very kind to us, and we must avenge him!" Zheng Tianji also said.
"It's a big deal!" Bai Yunqi shouted directly.
As soon as these words came out, some people's expressions changed, while others nodded in response.
For a moment, the military tent was like a lit explosive bag that could explode at any time.
…
At this time, Su Kang was roaring:
"Who leaked the news! As long as we persist for two more days, Marquis Zhongyong will come! If our family knows who leaked the news, our family will kill him with a thousand knives!"
After scolding, Su Kang glanced at the other people in the tent.
Everyone was silent and did not dare to respond.
At this time, Su Kang's most trusted advisor replied: "Eunuch Su, Huo Zilong and others are currently gathering in the Chinese army camp and making a fuss. We must calm down their anger as soon as possible. My subordinates suggested that we deceive them first to calm them down." When Marquis Zhongyong arrives, we can take care of them."
Su Kang nodded and could only bite the bullet and head to the Chinese army camp.
When he walked into the tent, he immediately saw the murderous looks of Huo Zilong and Bai Yunqi, which made Su Kang's heart tremble violently.
He swallowed his saliva and said immediately: "Generals, don't be disturbed by rumors. The general is doing well in Kyoto, how could he be killed! This is the enemy's conspiracy. If you act randomly, you are falling into the enemy's conspiracy. !”
Facing Su Kang's remarks, everyone frowned.
Su Kang continued: "The general is the king of the northern county of Daliang. He is loyal to the court and has won the trust of your majesty. How can he conspire to rebel? Secondly, the rumors of something strange have become known to everyone in Yanzhou in a short period of time. This is obviously Someone is manipulating public opinion behind the scenes!"
"Think about it, everyone. The general is far away in Kyoto and is treating the prince's illness. If Yanzhou is in chaos, won't it cause more trouble to the general?"
"General Huo, you are the general's apprentice. Do you believe that the general will be harmed by the court?"
The cunning Su Kang turns his back on guests.
Huo Zilong was silent for a moment and did not speak.
At this time, the partial general Du Ankang nodded and said: "Indeed, this rumor came out of nowhere and must be manipulated by someone. I seriously suspect it is the conspiracy of the Chen Kingdom. They pretended to form an alliance with us, but in fact they are playing tricks, so we can't be chaotic. You must appease your soldiers."
"That's right! General Du Pian is right! If there is chaos now and the news reaches the court, then the enemy will fall into the trap." Su Kang said hurriedly.
Huo Zilong looked at Bai Yunqi and Zheng Tianji.
They are all Ling Xingshuang's disciples, so naturally they have to discuss everything with someone close to them.
At this time, Zheng Tianji said: "Let's appease the soldiers first. We can't cause trouble to the general by claiming that the rumors are false. Then we will send people to investigate the authenticity of the rumors. What do you think?"
Huo Zilong and Bai Yunqi looked at each other and finally nodded.
Su Kang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and at the same time, murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
It will only take two more days. As long as Marquis Zhongyong arrives, everything will be stable.
However, he still had to be fully prepared to prevent the mermaids in front of him from breaking the net!
Next,
The generals left the central military camp and began to appease the soldiers.
After Chief Shi Jia Huaiying and Pang Ju walked out of the camp, they looked at each other and left together silently.
As one of the few civilian officials in the military camp, the two men as long history officers were not only subordinate officials, but also counselors. Therefore, Jia Huaiying and Pang Ju must be Ling Xingshuang's confidants.
The two of them came to a tent together, looked around, and when no one was following them, they immediately walked in, and then saluted a young man standing with his hands behind his hands: "My subordinate Jia Huaiying (Pang Ju), pays homage to the crown prince."
The young man turned around and it was Ling Ning.
Last night, Ling Ning quietly contacted Jia Huaiying and Pang Ju and asked them to spread the news about his father being harmed by the imperial court in the military camp. Otherwise, how could it have spread throughout the military camp so quickly.
Ling Ning now distrusts all the generals of Beiyou Army, including his father's three apprentices Huo Zilong, Bai Yunqi, and Zheng Tianji.
But Jia Huaiying and Pang Ju can be trusted. Ling Xingshuang once told Ling Ning that there will definitely be no problem with these two people.
"Two gentlemen, no courtesy, please get up quickly. How is the situation?" Ling Ning asked.
Jia Huaiying took the lead and said: "After everyone met, they were all filled with righteous indignation and wanted to avenge the prince. I couldn't see who had any problems for the time being. In the end, Su Kang's eloquent tongue and the help of the partial general Du Ankang temporarily appeased everyone."
"That's right! Su Kang wanted to delay the arrival of the troops led by Marquis Zhongyong." Pang Ju also said.
Ling Ning said: "I deliberately asked you to spread the news, and the purpose is to alert the enemy. Even if Zhongyong Hou leads the troops, his troops will be limited. In order to be safe, Su Kang must be prepared! So he will definitely conspire with the people he wants to win over. !Two gentlemen, I need to trouble you this time to help me eradicate the cancer in Beiyou Army."
"Your Majesty, you're welcome. This is what I should do!" Jia Huaiying and Pang Ju responded quickly.
Their eyes were red, and they were extremely sad about Ling Xingshuang's death.
Although the three of them have a superior-subordinate relationship, they are close friends in private. Now that their best friend was killed, the two of them vowed to help Ling Ning and avenge him!
Just as Ling Ning guessed, Su Kang secretly met with a few people that night.
…
Time flies, and two days have passed.
People in the Beiyou Army camp were agitated, and privately, the soldiers were still talking about it.
The weather was gloomy in the morning, with a drizzle of rain.
At this moment, a force of two thousand troops came from the west and approached the Beiyou Army camp.
After receiving the news, Huo Zilong, Bai Yunqi, Zheng Tianji, and Xiang Feipeng immediately ordered a warning and sent scouts to investigate.
Soon, the news spread.
"What! Is Zhongyong Hou Yue Beiqiu here? What is he doing here?" Huo Zilong asked with a frown after receiving the news.
Zheng Tianji said: "Yuebei Qiugui is a prince, and his position is much higher than ours. Let's go and greet him first."
"Yes, the general is not here, so we can't let him pick on us." Xiang Feipeng also said.
The four of them were preparing to go out to greet them when Su Kang happened to come out and they greeted them together.
In this way, Yue Beiqiu was invited into the camp.
Yue Beiqiu, who was nearly sixty years old, had a rebellious look on his face. He deliberately walked around the Beiyou Army's camp. When he saw the orders and prohibitions of the Beiyou Army and the intensity of the drills, his expression changed.
Obviously, the combat effectiveness of Beiyou Army is far better than that of his Xicang Army.
It felt like a slap on the cheek.
But then he thought that this army would soon be his, so he stopped being angry.
Everyone moved to the military camp.
Before entering the tent, Yue Beiqiu glanced at Su Kang. Su Kang nodded slightly, indicating that everything was ready.
The corner of Yue Beiqiu's mouth raised, and a hint of ferocity flashed across his face.
Next, let's welcome my rule with blood...
