Chapter 840: The Mysterious Lady of the Nine Heavens: The heavenly secret changes, Star Lord Taila, see you or not!
Outside Yingtian Mansion.
In front of the Western Army camp.
Guan Sheng and Hu Yanzhuo dismounted from their horses, but stood where they were, not moving, unwilling to go in.
The envoy who proclaimed the edict did not let go and urged: "Two generals, why don't you follow me into the camp quickly and read out your Majesty's imperial edict?"
"yes!"
Guan Sheng and Hu Yanzhuo looked at each other, sighed secretly, and had no choice but to walk inside.
In fact, in addition to the two of them, two generals with good ability in commanding troops were transferred. One was Shan Tinggui, who was good at water immersion, and the other was Wei Dingguo, who was proficient in fire attack.
He was followed by more than a dozen generals, all of whom were elite generals from various places.
Obviously, the imperial court was also worried, fearing that there would be trouble this time, so it could be said that it took a lot of effort to take over the strongest Western army.
However, Guan Sheng and Hu Yanzhuo, the leaders, were unusually reluctant to go in. This group of men used to be strong-willed generals in the camps in various places. At this time, they also lowered their heads, unable to face the vicious glares from the Western Army.
The coming gaze.
They knew very well how taboo they had committed during this trip. If they had the choice, they would not come even if they were killed. However, under the imperial power, after all, not every official dared to disobey the decree.
Therefore, with Li Mang watching from behind, everyone felt that after a long journey, the Chinese army's tent had arrived. Zhe Keshi, Zhong Shidao, Liu Zhongwu, Liu Fa and other generals had been waiting for a long time. In an extremely depressing atmosphere,
In the middle, kneel down to welcome the imperial edict:
"I have been loyal to Haotian. Since I succeeded to the throne, I have worked conscientiously, walking on thin ice, not daring to relax at all. However, I have been troubled by the ancestral temple, indulged in the flattery of ministers, and failed to clearly detect the treacherous..."
"Today, the country is facing difficulties and people's livelihood is in difficulty. I am heartbroken. I was shocked to hear that the Western Army embezzled armaments, forged military status, concealed defeat as victory, and deceived the court. I really don't want to believe it. However, military pay is the result of the hard work of the people. How can it be swallowed up by the masses?
The mouth of a beetle? I want to tolerate it, but the heaven in the sky can tolerate it!"
"It's time to break the law. I will escort you to the capital and interrogate corruption. If the crime is proven, I will punish you severely. If you are innocent, I will tell the world and clear your name. I know it! I know it!"
"..."
"Two generals, take the order!"
Although the news had come, Zhe Keshi was still shaky and trembling when he actually heard what the imperial edict said.
This old general, who has been on the battlefield since he was a teenager and has been on the battlefield for forty years, showed an unprecedented old and tired look, and said in a hoarse voice: "The sky is clear! The sky is clear! I have been in the military all my life, and all my money has been used for war.
It is really unjust to seek personal gain from nothing when you need it...it is really unjust!"
Compared with Zhe Keshi who spent his whole life guarding the border in the northwest, the official resume of Zhongshidao was much richer. There was deep sorrow and indignation in his eyes. He did not narrate the useless injustice, but kowtowed deeply: "Your Majesty.
Take the order!"
Compared with the two veteran generals who led the order, the eyes of the kneeling general behind him almost burst out with fire, but Zhe Keshi and Zhong Shidao had warned them sternly before that they must not make mistakes.
Under the strict military discipline of the Western Army, although their fists were clenched and their chests were rising and falling violently, they managed to remain silent in the end.
But there was one person who didn't care.
"His grandma! What kind of bullshit decree is this? Two old generals are in jail. Does the Western Army still want to win the war?"
A black man rushed out, yelled, and roared at the envoy who proclaimed the edict: "I will eat your axe, Grandpa Li Kui, if you proclaim this bullshit decree again!!"
The arrival of the edict's envoys alarmed most of the military camp. At this time, the most courageous people gathered outside the tent, but the only one who dared to rush in was Li Kui.
When they heard Li Kui's scolding, everyone's first reaction was to secretly applaud, wishing that someone like him, fearless of heaven and earth, could directly cut down the hateful envoy and tear up the unfair imperial edict!
The envoys who announced the imperial edict were dumbfounded. When they saw such a dark guy rushing in, they were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they almost fell to the ground. They screamed: "You want to resist the edict? Are the Western Army going to rebel?"
"
"stop!!"
At this moment, Zhe Keshi shouted loudly and miserably: "Do you really want to trap me in infidelity?"
Li Kui ignored him, his copper bell-like eyes widened, and he really raised the ax. Guan Sheng and Hu Yanzhuo were so shocked that they immediately protected him.
But then, several more people rushed in, and Song Jiang, the leader, shouted: "Tieniu, come back! Come back!!"
Li Kui stopped angrily, and his breath spurted out from his nostrils, really like an angry bull, waving his ax and saying: "You are not allowed to cut this, and you are not allowed to kill that. They are not afraid, and they will do stupid things. How can you win the war?"
After you lose the battle, I'll see what happens to you!"
He cursed and turned around to leave. The envoy moved his mouth and wanted to order the madman to be arrested. However, seeing the atmosphere in the tent, he still did not dare and hurriedly handed over the imperial edict, as if it had become a
A hot potato.
Zhe Keshi and Zhong Shidao took over, and the specially escorted jailers came forward, shackled them, and put them into the prison van.
It wasn't just the prison van for the two of them, there was also a row of prison vans pushed out, headed by Tian Hu.
He stared blankly, then suddenly laughed out loud: "Are the two old generals going to escort me, a rebel, into Jinling together?"
After laughing, he sighed again: "It's a pity, it's a pity, this is the time to achieve great things, but it's not my turn to be Tian Hu!"
Originally, the generals could hold back, but when they saw that Zhe Keshi and Zhong Shidao, who had made great contributions to the country, were in the same cage with rebels like Tian Hu, and walked out of the military camp one after another, everyone was shocked.
The general couldn't stand it anymore and chased him out, shouting sternly: "Old General!! Old General!!"
Not to mention them, the surrounding soldiers gathered around. Seeing that the Western Army was about to riot, Zhe Keshi took a deep breath and tried to raise his voice: "Remember my care, please! Please!"
Zhongshi Dao clearly knew that there was a taboo in saying this, but he did not stop him. He also shouted: "After I leave, I will help General Guan and General Huyan to exterminate the rebels. For the sake of the great Song Dynasty, everyone! Please!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Liu Zhongwu, Liu Fa and other generals' eyes were red, but they nodded heavily: "Old general, please don't worry! Get out of the way...get out of the way!"
Under the reluctant suppression of the generals, the soldiers rushing around finally opened a way, but they were already crying.
A man doesn't shed tears easily, but he hasn't reached the sad point yet!
Seeing this scene, the envoys who declared the imperial edict did not dare to stay any longer and left in a hurry, leaving Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo and his entourage who were restless, and returned to the Chinese army's tent.
Song Jiang and his party outside the tent soon heard a quarrel coming from inside:
"Now that we are crossing the river and heading south, the Western Army will immediately mutiny and no one can suppress it!"
"But your Majesty has a strict order, you must go south to wipe out the Xiangyang Guo bandits..."
"No matter what His Majesty's will is, I just want to ask the two generals whether they can accept the disintegration of the Western Army?"
"Where is this..."
Of course, to say it was a quarrel was mainly due to the Western generals scolding each other and Guan Sheng and Hu Yanzhuo's humble explanations.
Everyone outside the tent was angry. Song Jiang listened for a moment, gestured to the left and right, and walked to the side with a group of brothers and sisters.
When they reached the corner of the camp, Mu Hong couldn't wait to say: "Once the two old generals leave, the Western Army will be leaderless. No matter how elite the army is, it cannot be like this!"
Deng Fei said in a deep voice: "The officials sent a group of generals to seize power. The Western Army is in chaos. How can we face the enemy? Brother, do we still want to stay?"
They are not people who are proficient in the art of war, but one of the simplest truths is clear: a snake cannot fly without a head, and a bird cannot fly without a head. If a group of people wants to achieve something, they must have a leader who speaks the truth.
Why Cai Jing is so important to Daming Prefecture is precisely because he is the prefect and guards Beijing. If he says to hold on, he will hold on from top to bottom. If he says to attack the camp, he will attack the camp with all his strength. He mobilized the military and civilian power of the entire Daming Prefecture.
Without Cai Jing, the remaining officials are likely to have different opinions. You say attacking the camp, I say it is too risky. The two groups have their own opinions, one is radical and the other is conservative, restraining each other.
The court is quite familiar with this. Isn’t it just a party struggle?
The key point is that the party struggle in the court is nothing more than that. Soldiers, important matters of the country, the place of life and death, the way of survival, how can we bring in that kind of thing?
Just because he realized this, Song Jiang didn't even suppress Li Kui. At this time, his face was extremely ugly, and he thought to himself: "I thought that by joining the Western Army, I could put down the rebels, serve the country, and honor my ancestors. Now like this, it's time to
What should I do, should I go back and become a superintendent again? Wenbin will be the county magistrate by then..."
After a slight loss of composure, Song Jiang realized that he must not panic. If he panics, then their team will disperse. He said in a deep voice: "Now that Tian Hu has been captured, Zhang Xian has been destroyed, the Central Plains has been leveled, and everywhere
If rebellion against the thieves is not possible, the army can attack in separate groups and sweep away the thieves and bring order to the chaos. There is no need to worry about this..."
"What's more, you brothers have just heard that the officials are aware of the traitors and will not be blocked by the traitors. The two old generals going to Jinling may not necessarily be a disaster. In my opinion, when the clouds clear up, brothers
Unwavering, we must work together to serve the country and leave a name in history!"
Although Song Jiang spoke impassionedly, the response this time was obviously not as neat as before. Everyone said sparsely: "I'll listen to brother Gongming..."
Song Jiang sighed secretly, sent his brother away, and specifically told Li Kui not to cause trouble. After being busy, he returned to his tent. He was tired and confused for a while, and fell on the couch, dazedly.
Just closed his eyes.
In a daze, Song Jiang felt like he was floating up. He kept rising, and the military camp below kept getting smaller, until he was above the clouds. He looked around in shock.
He didn't notice that two girls in green clothes and buns appeared in the sky. They looked down through the cover of clouds and mist and whispered: "This is the Star Lord? How come he is so handsome?"
"Don't lie. The Star Master is the leader of the Tiangang Earthly Evil. The Queen is the one you want to meet. How can we, the little maids, be able to evaluate him?"
"If that's the case, why do we not see each other even though the empress is counting her fingers?"
"I don't know about this, but since the empress doesn't see him, we don't have to show up. I'll give you the scroll of heaven. There are clear instructions in it. Just go back to the palace as soon as possible!"
"That's true!"
Song Jiang was still confused. He suddenly raised his head and saw a ray of light descending from above and suddenly penetrated into his sleeve. However, his footing was unstable and he fell straight down.
"ah--"
As the world was spinning, Song Jiang suddenly stood up straight and breathed heavily on the couch. After a long while, he muttered to himself: "What a strange dream..."
As he spoke, he subconsciously reached for his sleeves, and then his body froze suddenly. He tremblingly took out a book that was five inches long and three inches wide. He opened it and saw that it was all about the art of war. He couldn't help but read it with fascination.
Got up.
I don’t know how much time passed, but Song Jiang roughly turned to the last page. Just as he was about to look at it carefully from the beginning, he heard a loud and majestic female voice, as if coming from the horizon: "I am the Mysterious Girl of the Nine Heavens, and I am the Lord of Tiankui Star."
, today the situation has changed and it is inconvenient to meet each other. I will pass on this volume of your heavenly book to do justice for heaven, help the country and the people, and get rid of evil and return to the right path!"
"The Heavenly Book can be viewed together with the Heavenly Secret Star. If you cannot find the Heavenly Secret Star, you can also view it on your own. Everything else will be invisible. After it is completed, it will be burned and not left in the world!"
"You should remember what I have been told. If you do everything right, we will meet again at the Qionglou Golden Tower one day!"
Song Jiang was stunned for a long time before murmuring: "Empress Xuannv actually asked me to be the star master. It turns out that I was not waiting for someone to be idle in my previous life..."
This was already a great joy. Looking at the teaching of the Heavenly Book, I felt that there was no way out of the mountains and rivers, and there was a village with dark trees and bright flowers. Song Jiang suddenly bowed down, with firmness in his brows: "Thank you for showing me the Holy Mother, Song Jiang will definitely live up to the great trust you have placed in your heart."
Be loyal and righteous, and protect our Song Dynasty forever!!"
