Night, Anyang Mansion.
Zhou Ce was dressed in armor, with a sword hanging on his waist, and came with a few generals in stride.
"General, stay here." The guard at the door naturally stopped him: "Do you have a warrant from my lord?"
"Nothing."
"General, please wait a moment and allow me to report..."
"I have something important to do. Why is there all this nonsense? Come on!"
Before the guard could finish speaking, Zhou Ce stretched out his hand, pushed him away, and stepped in.
Several generals followed closely behind.
The guard was pushed staggering and almost fell down, but because of Zhou Ce's status, he did not dare to get angry. He could only follow behind him and kept shouting: "General, general..."
Now, not long after nightfall, Yu Anmin had not fallen asleep in the mansion, and was discussing something with Jiang Xing in the hall.
Not long after, the sounds of guards who wanted to stop but didn't dare to stop him could be heard outside the hall. Then, Zhou Ce and others barged in directly.
The guards also ran in and hurriedly bowed their heads to Yu Anmin and saluted: "My lord, General Zhou and the others..."
Yu Anmin waved his hand.
"Yes." The guard understood and bowed before retreating.
Of course Yu Anmin would not be happy about their intrusion without asking for permission. He looked displeased, glanced at Zhou Ce and others, and said lukewarmly: "At this time, General Zhou will not stay in the military camp. , came here, is something wrong?”
"Lord." Zhou Ce clasped his fists and said sternly: "The state government ordered our soldiers to assist the ghost army to get out of the customs. My lord, have you decided not to change this matter?"
"What, do you have any objection?" Yu Anmin asked coldly.
"The general just feels that this is not appropriate. We are the An army and are stationed in Anyang. We have the responsibility of guarding the border. The ghost army is a foreign enemy. How can we let them enter and leave the border and come and go as they please? !" Zhou Ce said.
"What do you mean!?" After hearing this, Yu Anmin immediately became unhappy: "This is the decision made by me and the military advisor. You don't need to ask any more questions, just act as ordered!"
In the past, Zhou Ce might have had no choice but to retreat, but now, he once again said in a serious voice: "The general asks the lord to take back the order! Order me to secure the soldiers, hold on to the city, and refuse the ghost army to enter Anyang!"
"What did you say!?" Yu Anmin was shocked when he heard this.
"My lord, please take back your life!" Zhou Ce repeated again.
The generals behind him also clasped their fists and said: "My lord, please take back your life——"
All the generals shouted in unison. When Yu Anmin saw this, his eyes widened with an incredible look on his face, and then he raised his hand and said, "You! You are bold!"
Jiang Xing hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Oh, General Zhou, what are you doing? We are all our own people. If there is anything, we can discuss it carefully."
"Then, please help me, military advisor, to persuade my lord." Zhou Ce glanced at him.
"Haha, this." Jiang Xing laughed dryly and said, "General Zhou, you don't know something. The Lord's decision is also out of consideration for everyone..."
"Considering everyone?" Zhou Ce interrupted him and said coldly: "Considering everyone means betraying the nation and cooperating with the ghost army, right?"
"Presumptuous!" Yu Anmin couldn't bear it anymore and shouted sternly: "Zhou Ce! Do you know what you are doing! I have treated you well in the past, but I didn't expect you to dare to be so disobedient!"
"Oh, my lord, please calm down, my lord, please calm down, everyone, please don't be angry. If you have something to say, say it well. If you have something to say, say it well..." Jiang Xing hurriedly tried to persuade him again. Naturally, he noticed something was wrong with Zhou Ce. As he spoke, he even more He winked at Yu Anmin repeatedly.
The latter snorted coldly and said: "Zhou Ce, for the sake of your past loyalty, I will treat you as drunk for what happened today! Now I order you to stand down immediately! Otherwise, military law will be engaged!"
"Forgive me for not being able to obey the order!" Zhou Ce did not move and said with a cold face: "Today, the lord must issue an order to resist the ghost army, otherwise, the general and others will not leave here!"
"What did you say!? You are so brave!" Yu Anmin was furious. Under his glare, he could no longer care so much and shouted loudly: "Come here!"
Following his words, armors scraped outside the hall, and the entire mansion was filled with the sound of infantry running in unison. It seemed that countless troops had surrounded the place.
Such a large-scale movement is simply beyond the capabilities of the palace guards.
At first, Yu Anmin was still waiting, but slowly, he noticed something was wrong with the movement. His eyes gradually widened, and he said with horror: "Zhou Ce! You! How dare you come with troops!"
Military advisor Jiang Xingyi swallowed his saliva and said in a trembling voice: "Oh, General Zhou, this must never be done, absolutely must not be done! The following offenses are really treasonous!"
"Following you to abandon the nation and harm your compatriots is the real treason!" Zhou Ce said in a loud voice: "Before, Zhou was ignorant, weak and incompetent, and failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a general. Now, I am willing to be Yan Zheng!"
Yan Zheng was a man who dared to fight a tough battle with the ghost army, refused to cede orders, and would rather die than take a step back. His reputation as a hero has long been spread throughout the world.
Now hearing him mention this, Yu Anmin couldn't help but turn pale in shock: "Zhou Ce! Do you know what will happen to Yan Zheng!"
"Even if you die, it is better than being a national sinner and being reviled for eternity!"
"You, you, you!" Yu Anmin was furious.
Outside the hall, torches were already lit.
Countless soldiers of Army An were gathering here, surrounding the place on three levels inside and three outside.
Of course, these are Zhou Ce's subordinates, and the guards in Anyang Mansion have long been controlled.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Ce and other generals had cold expressions on their faces. It was obvious that they had made up their minds. Jiang Xing rolled his eyes wildly, thinking about countermeasures urgently, and said: "General Zhou, have you thought about the consequences of doing this? Your family what to do!"
This sentence implies a threat.
But when Zhou Ce heard this, he immediately said: "It's precisely because Zhou has no face to face the elders in his hometown! That's why we have this military advice!"
"But you are committing an offense against me. As long as my lord gives you an order, who among the soldiers will listen to you!" Jiang Xing continued anxiously, trying to persuade.
"Then ask the military advisor to ask our officers and soldiers! Are they willing to help the aliens to harm their compatriots! Or are they willing to fight against the ghosts!" Zhou Ce said loudly.
Outside the hall, all the An army were in neat armor, holding torches in their hands, with their waists straight, motionless, and they all looked into the hall.
Jiang Xing looked at it subconsciously and grinned secretly.
Yu Anmin was also a little panicked. He started to walk two steps quickly, pointed at the countless Anjun outside, and said sternly: "What are you doing!? Do you all want to rebel!?"
"I order you! Retreat immediately!"
No one moved, and the place was quiet.
Yu Anmin was dumbfounded.
With what he did, how could he have any prestige in the army? The soldiers had already had enough and hated the ghost army, but no one had ever taken the lead.
I don't know how long it took, but he staggered back a few steps, then looked at Zhou Ce, and forced a smile: "Zhou... General Zhou, I treated you very well before..."
