Knowing that it will cause unimaginable serious consequences, but unable to resist.

The eldest grandson Yuanxin couldn't tell outsiders about the troubles he felt in his heart.

The night wind was blowing, and he stood outside the gate, holding one hand behind his back, looking at the towering Xuzhou City Wall.

The Jiangnan Army has been approaching the city for nearly a month without launching an attack. It has always been crawling outside the city like a giant beast.

Of course Ye Chaoxuan knew that the leader of this army was Changsun Yuanxin. He even went to the top of the city several times to shout to Changsun Yuanxin and persuade him to jointly revive Li Tang.

But the eldest grandson Yuanxin was naturally too lazy to pay attention.

The eldest grandson's family is not prosperous, and the eldest grandson Yuanxin and the eldest grandson Mei'er have a close brother-sister relationship. Now that the eldest grandson Mei'er is in the palace, the eldest grandson Yuanxin has no choice but to follow Tantai Xuanye's orders if he wants to take Meier's safety into consideration.

In the night, the sound of horse hoofbeats was suddenly heard. Grandson Yuanxin followed the sound and saw a group of people entering the camp from a distance.

He frowned.

Although there is a place for horse racing in the camp, riding horses is prohibited in most areas of the military camp. Unless a scout is scouting the horses to urgently report military information, if you ride a horse in the camp, you will be slapped with a military stick in the least case, or your head will be chopped off in the worst case.

Unforgivable things.

?At this time, dozens of people came riding Pegasus, which was obviously against military regulations.

He had always been strict in running the army. He clenched his fists and was about to get angry, but soon he saw the clothes of the first rider. He suddenly looked solemn, straightened his body and stood in front of the camp.

The first rider was clearly a eunuch.

This trip sent troops, and the imperial court sent a supervisory army and several generals.

The eldest grandson Yuanxin naturally knew why these people were sent here, especially the supervisor surnamed Lu. He heard that before coming to Xuzhou, he was working as an errand in the palace and went to the North Courtyard to check in.

Then we went directly to the front line.

There are many imperial supervisors, but almost all of them are dispatched from the North Campus. Moreover, before these supervisors are stationed in various places, they have to stay in the North Campus for a while, and they have to hang around for at least one or two years to get up to a certain level before being released.

Sent to various places.

Otherwise, if your rank is too low, you will inevitably be dissatisfied if you join the army.

The eldest son Yuanxin knew that Supervisor Lu couldn't even ride a horse. Of course, the eunuch riding a horse late at night could not be Supervisor Lu.

"Hush!"

The horse approached the tent and slowed down.

The eldest son Yuanxin saw clearly at this time that there were more than a dozen dragon-scale forbidden troops behind the eunuch, and the eunuch was also very unfamiliar.

"Are you General Changsun?" The eunuch asked, sitting on his horse without dismounting, looking down at Changsun Yuanxin.

When the eldest grandson Yuanxin saw this eunuch being guarded by the Dragon Scale Forbidden Army, he naturally knew that he must have come from the capital. He raised his hands and said, "It is the eldest grandson Yuanxin. May I ask, father-in-law, are you from the capital?"

"Zhajia Shen Tong!" The eunuch then got off his horse and said with a smile: "General Changsun has worked really hard to quell the chaos in the country."

The eldest grandson Yuanxin said: "I don't dare." He raised his hand and said: "Shen is tired from traveling on the highway. Please go into the tent and rest first."

He knew that when Shen Tong came to Xuzhou, things must not be simple.

"General Changsun, the Miscellaneous Family was ordered to come here to announce the imperial edict." Shen Tong said with a smile: "It's not too late to declare the imperial edict first and then take a rest."

Upon hearing this, Changsun Yuanxin was about to kneel down to receive the decree. Shen Tong waved his hand and said, "Don't worry. General Changsun, the sage has ordered that when the decree is announced, the generals of the army, big and small, must be summoned to listen to the decree. Generals above the rank of captain, Including military commanders, generals, guerrilla generals, etc. must be present."

The eldest grandson Yuanxin felt a tremble in his heart, but he remained calm and simply ordered his subordinates: "Blow the drum and let the generals come to discuss matters."

The military camps are in a row. If you send people to invite the generals one by one, it will naturally delay a lot of time. Therefore, there will be drums in the camps. When the generals hear the drums and know that the generals are summoned, they will quickly gather at the center of the army. account.

"Eunuch Shen, please!"

Changsun Yuanxin raised his hand again.

Shen Tong then turned around and gave a few instructions. There were fourteen dragon scale guards accompanying him. Two of them followed him into the tent to protect him personally, while the others were outside the tent.

Grandson Yuanxin knew something was fishy.

Logically speaking, Shen Tong was an envoy from Kyoto. Even if his rank was not high, the military would not dare to neglect him in the slightest. There was no need to bring two guards for personal protection when entering the tent.

Since he did this, he was on guard, and the person who was on guard was naturally the eldest grandson Yuanxin.

The eldest grandson Yuanxin followed him into the tent calmly.

Although Shen Tong was the imperial envoy and was surrounded by more than a dozen brave dragon-scale guards, the eldest grandson Yuanxin really didn't take him seriously.

He himself is extremely brave, and the six or seven thousand soldiers and horses outside the city are almost all soldiers and horses from Jiangnan.

?After the Jiangnan Rebellion, the Suzhou Camp was reorganized. The imperial court even mobilized troops from other places. Many soldiers and horses were transferred from the Jianghuai area to supplement the Suzhou Camp. The saint even thought of setting up a Protectorate in Jiangnan to directly command the three states. Although this This matter was not a day's work and could not be implemented immediately in a short period of time, but the saint still made some adjustments to the three camps in Jiangnan.

In addition to sending trusted generals from Kyoto to take over the Suzhou Camp and Yangzhou Camp, he also issued an order to give the eldest son Yuanxin the power to supervise the three camps.

After all, during the Jiangnan Rebellion, the eldest grandson Yuanxin performed well, and the eldest grandson Meier was by the saint's side. The saint was still very reassured about the eldest grandson Yuanxin. During the reorganization of the Jiangnan Third Battalion, the eldest grandson Yuanxin was actually the main participant.

Precisely because of the existence of Changsun Yuanxin, he tried his best to save many soldiers, but only punished some major rebel generals. For this reason, the original soldiers of the third battalion were still grateful to Changsun Yuanxin, and Jiang Huai supplemented the past soldiers. , also knew that the eldest grandson Yuanxin was famous, but he was also in awe of him.

These thousands of soldiers and horses all respected the eldest grandson Yuanxin, especially the more than 2,000 soldiers of the Hangzhou Battalion, who were direct descendants of the eldest grandson Yuanxin, and were very loyal to the eldest grandson Yuanxin.

Therefore, although there are supervisors and many generals sent by Tantai Xuanye in the army, and now Shen Tong has come with more than a dozen imperial guards, the eldest son Yuanxin is not worried about what big trouble these people will cause.

After Shen Tong entered the account, he didn't talk much. The eldest son Yuanxin's temperament was that he rarely talked. If the other party didn't speak, he didn't ask many questions.

When the generals in the camp heard the order drum, they quickly came to the Chinese army's tent.

The commanders of the two battalions of the Suzhou Battalion and the Yangzhou Battalion were among them, and seven or eight other people including General Lang and the guerrilla general from the other army also arrived. As for the four or five generals sent by the imperial court, they also quickly rushed to the big tent.

At one time, there were nearly twenty generals in the tent.

The generals obviously didn't know what was going on. When they saw Shen Tong, they all understood that there must be an order from the imperial court.

Some people think that it was the imperial court that urged the siege. After all, it had been almost a month since the troops arrived at the city, and all kinds of materials were in sufficient supply. Even ladders, catapults, rams and other siege weapons had arrived long ago. However, Changsun Yuanxin had not yet launched an attack on Xuzhou. To launch an offensive, the imperial court should be a little anxious.

"Eunuch Shen, except for the generals who are on inspection, they are not allowed to leave their posts without permission. All the people who can come to receive the order have already arrived." Changsun Yuanxin stood up and said, "Eunuch, you can announce the order." Then he stood in front of the generals and talked with them. They will face Shentong together.

Shen Tong nodded with a smile, took out the imperial edict, stood up slowly, coughed twice, and said in a sharp voice: "Zhuangwu General Commander Sun Yuanxin accepts the edict!"

The eldest grandson Yuanxin knelt down on the ground and said respectfully: "I, the eldest grandson Yuanxin, respectfully welcome the imperial edict!"

When all the generals saw this, they all fell to their knees.

"By God, the edict says: Chen Shutong, the envoy of Nanyuan, is old and suffers from old illnesses repeatedly. He is no longer able to take on all the affairs of Nanyuan. He is ordered to serve as an official and return home to take care of himself." Shen Tong unfolded the imperial edict and read out: "There is a vacancy in the South Academy, so Sun Yuanxin, the general of Zhuangwu, was promoted to Beijing to fill the post. Sun Yuanxin, the eldest general, was brave and knowledgeable in military affairs. His loyalty can be seen from the sun and the moon. He became a pillar in the South Academy and was favored by everyone. Jiang Ke, the commander of Suzhou Camp , with outstanding talents, he went to Beijing with him and held another position."

Except for a few generals sent from Kyoto who understood it, the other generals changed their expressions upon hearing this.

"Xiao Buwei, the commander of the Yangzhou Battalion, has been given the title of General Xuanwei to take charge of Xuzhou's military affairs and control all the troops in Xuzhou." Shen Tong still read out in a high voice: "The Xuzhou strategy will be implemented according to the strategy established by General Zhuangwu. I hereby express it! "

The eldest son, Yuanxin, felt awe-struck in his heart, knowing that this decree was clearly to deprive him of the military power in his hands.

He knew that if something serious had not happened, Kyoto would never have changed its generals so easily.

He immediately thought of Changsun Meier.

If the eldest grandson Meier is controlled by Tantai Xuanye, Tantai Xuanye will not be afraid of Xuzhou and will use the eldest grandson Yuanxin to conquer Xuzhou.

Since Tantai Xuanye changed generals before the battle, does that mean something is wrong with Changsun Meier?

"General Changsun, you still don't accept the order?" As Changsun Yuanxin was stunned, Shen Tong's voice rang in his ears.

The eldest grandson Yuanxin came to his senses, raised his hands, and received the imperial edict.

"General Changsun, what a joy to congratulate you!" Shen Tong said with a smile: "The envoy Chen Yuan of the Nanyuan has returned to his hometown, and the saint has transferred the general to the hospital as an envoy. This is a high hope for the general. The general has made great progress. Please take more care of us in the future. "

The generals who were transferred from Kyoto immediately stood up and congratulated each other, but the generals who were direct descendants of the eldest son Yuanxin all understood that following this decree, the eldest son Yuanxin would be handing over the military power.

Everyone looked at Xiao Buwei, the commander of Yangzhou Camp.

After the Jiangnan Rebellion, the Three Jiangnan Battalions were reorganized. Although the original commander of the Yangzhou Battalion did not make a great transition, he and many Yangzhou Battalion generals were transferred away. The imperial court sent Xiao Buwei to take over the Yangzhou Battalion.

Everyone knows that Xiao Buwei was transferred from the Dragon Scale Forbidden Army and was Tantai Xuanye's direct general.

Tantai Xuanye held the emperor hostage in Kyoto to command the world. Except for the eldest grandson Yuanxin, who knew some of the truth, everyone else knew nothing.

The Dragon Scale Forbidden Army was the most elite guard in the Tang Dynasty. The generals who came out of the Forbidden Army were naturally extraordinary, so everyone admired Xiao Buwei quite a lot.

At present, the decree deprived the eldest grandson Yuanxin of his military power, but Xiao Buwei took over the military power. Someone immediately realized that there was something fishy in this. Several eldest grandson Yuanxin's direct subordinates looked at Xiao Buwei, and there was something obvious in their eyes.

Show hostility.

"General Xuanwei, the saint has decreed that the heavy responsibility of quelling the rebellion in Xuzhou will be entrusted to you. You must not let the court down." Shen Tong looked at Xiao Buwei and smiled: "But with General Changsun's deployment, it is just a matter of time to conquer Xuzhou.

It's a matter of time. Once the victory is won, the saint will definitely recruit General Xiao to the capital to receive the reward. At that time, General Xiao and General Changsun can meet again in the capital, and they can get drunk and rest."

Xiao Buwei cupped his hands and said with a smile: "If it is a great victory, I should go to Kyoto to express my gratitude to General Changsun!"
