Seeing that Chen Man's subordinates actually tried to dissuade Chen Man from cooperating with Chu Shan, especially when this subordinate was trying to persuade Chen Man with his hand pressed on the saber at his waist, Zhou Xuyi was also shocked. Cheng Yaojin came out of nowhere.
Chen Man was very lost, but he didn't notice the abnormality of the subordinates around him. He just felt that his words made sense, and it was indeed possible to detain Zhou Xuyi and Zhou Jing to see how the situation would develop in the next two days.
Although he was once a minister of Vietnam, he had a rough life. He only got a job from the commander-in-chief after he surrendered with Zhao Zhang. Before that, he served in the army in Beijing, where it was difficult to even support his family. There really wasn't much in Vietnam that he missed.
!
Does he really need to risk his life, his family's life, and his family's life for the last trace of his care that cannot be said to be that strong?
Zhou Jing and Zhou Xuyi were locked in the cell. They saw that the subordinate was unusual and that there was murderous intention in the subordinate's eyes when he was admonishing Chen Man.
However, another guard beside Chen Man also quietly pressed his hand on the saber at his waist, so Zhou Jing and Zhou Xuyi did not dare to remind Chen Man easily, for fear that something would suddenly change and blood would be splashed on the spot.
"Since General Chen doesn't trust me, let's wait and see for two days to see if my commander-in-chief can kill the rebel generals all over the city and bleed all over the place!" Zhou Jing sat back on the haystack in the corner of the cell, not thinking.
He smiled happily and said, "This cell is quite comfortable. If we sleep for two days, it will be like getting fat in autumn!"
Zhou Jing thought of first stabilizing the two followers around Chen Man.
Even if Chen Man now follows the advice of this guard and detains them to wait and see the situation, things can still turn around, not to mention other arrangements. After Xu Huaiqin led his elite troops into the outer city of Bianliang, he saw that Zhu Xianyi had not responded.
We can also guess that there was an accident here, and there is really no need to fight to the death now.
Zhou Xuyi saw that Zhou Jing could be so calm, and secretly felt that the general-level figure in Chushan was really not easy to get along with, so he suppressed his fear and sat back in the haystack.
But the moment he sat back on the haystack, he saw another attendant beside Chen Man suddenly pull out half of the sword from his waist, and he was so shocked that he almost screamed.
Zhou Xuyi's abnormal reaction also shocked Chen Man. He turned around in shock and saw Qin Cong pull out a knife. He was shocked and angry and asked: "Jiang Ping, what are you going to do?"
Chen Man subconsciously wanted to take off the sword from his waist to resist, but in his panic, how could he resist in time?
Chen Man thought that he would definitely die this time, but he didn't expect that after Jiang Ping's long sword was unsheathed, a ray of sword light went directly towards the man who advised him to detain Zhou Jing and the two of them and wait and see the situation, and slashed Chen Jiao's neck.
"You!" Chen Jiao only had time to reach out and grab the cutting blade, but the blade had already penetrated three feet into his neck. He felt blood spurting out. It was unbelievable to stare at him, who were usually like siblings. He had worked with Chen Man for more than ten years.
Jiang Ping.
Chen Jiao sat down on the ground, reluctantly holding on to his last breath, and asked bitterly: "Why did you kill me? Can you let me die in peace?"
"Brother Chen, I'm sorry. Although the Imperial City Division also detained my second son and forced me to secretly keep an eye on General Chen with you, what they didn't expect was that I was a lone soldier demobilized by the Jingsheng Army.
I’m not willing to be Hu’er’s lackey!”
After Chen Jiao had breathed his last, Jiang Ping sheathed the bloody knife and said to Chen Man:
"After the city of Bianliang fell and General Chen was detained and released, Chen Jiao and I hurriedly claimed that we were young.
We got separated in the chaos. In fact, we were taken hostage by the Imperial City Division, who threatened us to act as the Imperial City Division's spies. We really couldn't bear to be with General Chen before we targeted General Chen. General Chen was secretly dissatisfied with the Chihu people and knew clearly that Zhu Xianyi
There were rebel activities but we deliberately turned a blind eye. We were coerced because we were young, so we reported the truth to the Imperial City Division; the Imperial City Division even deliberately asked Chen Jiao to replace you to guard Zhuxianyi..."
"What's going on with Jingsheng? You've been secretly working for Chushan?" Chen Man asked in disbelief.
"Master Zhou and the leader of Zhou Village did not know that I was a lone soldier of the Jingsheng Army," Jiang Ping shook his head and said, "When Wang Shuai died, I had only served in the Jingsheng Army for two years and had not made any military exploits.
After Cai Zheng, an unknown soldier, seized control of the Jingsheng Army, he kept splitting the old soldiers into other armies. I also wandered among the armies. It wasn't until I met General Chen, you and Chen Jiao, and won some military exploits, that I was awarded
He was appointed as the leader of the team, and then transferred to the Forbidden Army in Beijing. To be honest, I almost forgot that I had served in the army under Wang Shuai in these years! However, General Chen, you once said to me after drinking that I am a Vietnamese man, how can you kneel down and send me a letter?
I was deeply touched by begging for food from under Hu'er, and I have been thinking about telling General Chen about it, but I never had the chance, so I hope General Chen won't be surprised!"
"How can I blame you?" When these things happened suddenly, Chen Man was deeply shocked and said in despair, "I knew that the Imperial City Division could not trust us generals so much!"
"Can Mr. Zhou and Master Zhou..." Jiang Ping looked at Zhou Jing and Zhou Xuyi in the cell and asked Chen Mandao.
"Hurry up and open the cell door!" Chen Man felt that it was not appropriate to just order Jiang Ping, so he stood up and opened the cell door together, saluting Zhou Jing, "Chen Man has to tell Zhou Jing what to do."
Join the army for guidance!”
Seeing his subordinate Chen Jiao lying in a pool of blood, Zhou Jing, who walked out of the cell, did not expect that this matter would have such twists and turns in an instant. He raised his hands to Jiang Ping and asked, "Brother Jiang, who was under the command of Jing Shengjun back then?"
Begging for food?"
"Leopard Breakout Camp Zhou Fu commanded his subordinates to serve as soldiers. Zhou Fu was usually cautious and never disobeyed Cai Qing face to face. However, after drinking, he said a few words to denounce Wang Shuai, which was reported to Cai Qing's ears. In the end, because of Ji
In the first battle of Yuncheng, we failed to attack the city and were killed by Cai's collar. After that, the Leopard Tu camp was completely disbanded." Jiang Ping said with regret as he recalled the past.
"Zhou Fei died unjustly. Wang Shuai also praised him for his general style when he was still alive. What a pity!" Zhou Jing, Lu Xiong, Xu Wuqi, Xu Wukun, Xu Wuliang and others responded to Jingsheng's army before Wang
Xiaocheng died and the military power was taken away by Cai Qing. The fate of the generals has always been concerned. However, at the peak of the Jingsheng Army, there were 25,000 warriors. These people died on the battlefield, died of persecution, or suffered from injuries.
If they died, or dispersed into other armies, or they all drifted away, it would be impossible to find out the ins and outs one by one.
Because of the Dai Viet military system, the generals and military officials had a weak sense of belonging to the army, and the connection between ordinary soldiers and the army and the generals was even weaker.
Chushan has been trying to contact the old troops of Jingsheng Army secretly for some time, mainly targeting the generals and military officials who once served in Jingsheng Army.
However, after all these years, very few military generals and officials who served in the Jingsheng Army are still serving in the army; even if some people can still be contacted, these people have their own ties over the years, and it is difficult to contact them.
It's more of just reminiscing about old friendships.
For example, at this time, Jie Zhong had already served as the Marquis of Yu, the capital of Youxiaosheng Army.
However, the appearance of Jiang Ping, in addition to
He unexpectedly helped them solve Zhuxianyi's problem, and also made Zhou Jing think of another thing.
That is, among the 40,000 to 50,000 surrendered troops in the capital, how many former soldiers of the Jingsheng Army are there?
In the Dai Viet Forbidden Army, all soldiers have lifelong tenure. Generally speaking, only a very small number of generals and military officials have the opportunity to leave the military. Most of the ordinary soldiers have to stay in the military camp until they grow old, but they will be gradually eliminated when they get old.
Just go to the Xiang army that is doing all kinds of hard work.
Therefore, Cai Ting's taboo against Wang Xiaocheng's old troops may have been detrimental to him. He suppressed the military officers and generals of the Jingsheng Army in every possible way and separated the old soldiers. Except for those who died in battle, most of the others were still in various departments of the Western Army.
circulation.
In order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army, Dai Viet would select a group of capable soldiers from the Western Army to replenish them every two or three years, and weed out the old and weak to the Xiang Army. This was a long-standing practice.
This will inevitably lead to some unnoticed soldiers from the Jingsheng Army entering the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army. With the fall of Bianliang, most of the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army were forced to surrender due to the situation, and these veterans of the Jingsheng Army were reduced to
He is a member of the Puppet Chu Army.
Jiang Ping in front of me is a living example.
Although among the soldiers stationed in Bianliang by the Puppet Chu, there may only be a few hundred or one or two thousand old soldiers of the Jingsheng Army, and they were scattered again. They even forgot their connection with the Jingsheng Army.
After all, ordinary soldiers are still numb most of the time, and the current situation dictates that they can only drift with the tide.
However, this time Bianliang is destined to turn the world upside down again. Is this a good opportunity to reactivate the connection between these old soldiers and the Jingsheng Army?
As for Zhu Xianyi, Zhou Jinggan and Zhou Xuyi walked in. It was impossible to simply take the risk to test Chen Man's character without any other arrangements. As a last resort, he immediately said to Chen Man:
"Han Guinai received the secret order of the Chushan camp and went to the Zhuxianyi military camp to serve as an official. In addition, although the general led his bodyguards and soldiers to attack Bianliang, there was still an elite group hidden near Zhuxianyi. Now we only need to catch these troops secretly.
In the village, General Chen and his troops will be invited to the government hall to discuss the plan. I believe that most people will still understand the righteousness! In the end, we still have to ensure that there is no disturbance on the surface of Zhuxianyi..."
Zhu Xianyi is playing a second-hand move. Of course, they must control it secretly first. The later it is exposed, the more beneficial it will be for them.
Hearing this, Chen Man was also secretly frightened, thinking that if he really listened to Chen Jiao's advice and detained Zhou Jing and Zhou Xuyi, even if he was not killed by Jiang Ping, he would definitely be "led into the house" by Han Gui.
Harmful!
Damn it, Han Gyu has a small nose and small eyes, and he usually does things submissively, but it was actually Chu Shan who planted himself in Zhu Xianyi’s secret room?
"Everything is subject to Zhou Shenjun's arrangement!" Chen Man said.
"After our troops come in, Jiang Ping will follow me to see Commander Jie. We will definitely arrange for people to protect General Chen's family. Please rest assured, General Chen!" Zhou Jing thought that Jiang Ping had two sons who were buckling for the Imperial City.
He was a hostage, and he didn’t even know where he was. There was definitely no way to rescue him together this time. He told Chen Man, “Jiang Ping, Chen Jiao’s matter must be kept secret. To the outside world, let’s say that Chen Jiao doesn’t know the righteousness. For me,
After being killed, Jiang Ping escaped from the military camp! To prevent Jiang Ping’s second son from being implicated!”
"Of course, I don't have to worry about it!" Chen Man said.
