"What happened inside? Why did it suddenly become chaotic?" Xue Yongli asked with a frown, looking at the sudden commotion in Chen Zhongzhi's camp.
Not even half an hour after the ultimatum-like oral message was passed in, and Chen Zhongzhi sent someone to report the results to Xue Yongli, he saw a sudden chaos in the camp. After a while, there were even stragglers rushing in in twos and threes.
Leave the camp and flee.
"Maybe Chen Youba can't hold back his position!" an officer of the Runing Army guessed.
This guess is in line with common sense. Because the current Runing army is not trying to annex Chen Zhong's tribe, let alone want Chen Zhong's tribe to rebel. The reason for forcing them is just to drive Chen Zhong's tribe away from Runing and escort them to Kaifeng City.
Fight against Li Zicheng's invasion of the camp. Although this behavior seems very domineering, it is also in line with the orders of the imperial court and Henan Governor Li Fengxian, so Chen Zhongzhi has no reason to object. Of course, he has no ability to object amid the siege of the Runing Army.
.
But now Chen Zhongzhi's troops are scattered. This only proves that his soldiers are afraid of fighting and afraid of death and injury. It also proves that Chen Zhongzhi has poor control over his troops. Therefore, many of the Runing Army officers present
With contemptuous sneers on their faces, they always looked down upon Chen Zhongzhi and his troops in their hearts.
"Don't worry about the reason. The troops should go over quickly and help the guerrillas stabilize the troops. If there is resistance, be polite first and then fight. As for those who escaped from the camp? Send the order and chase them immediately!" Xue Yongli quickly stopped his astonishment.
Issued orders to subordinates.
"promise!"
But at this moment, several riders suddenly rushed out from Chen Zhongzhi's camp. They came towards Xue Yongli's troops. The Runing army in front quickly stopped these people. Xue Zhinong saw that one of those people was himself.
Shanchuan Division developed a secret agent in Chen Zhongzhi's army. After briefly explaining a few words to Xue Yongli, he went to the front to understand the situation.
After a while, Xue Zhinong hurriedly squeezed in with the spy. Before he could stop, he loudly shouted to Xue Yongli: "Master Li! Chen You is killed!"
!?……
After detailed interrogation, Xue Yongli and the others learned that when Chen Zhongzhi learned that his troops were surrounded by the Runing Army and received the ultimatum from the Runing Army, he had no choice but to obey. After all, the Runing Army
He hasn't been pushed to the edge yet.
But when Chen Zhongzhi made his decision public to his officers, a group of officers firmly disagreed. Those officers were those who had transferred from Jiang Cheng's army to Chen Zhongzhi's army. They were afraid that they would fall into the hands of the Runing army.
After taking it into his hands, he will face a reckoning with the Runing Army.
In this regard, Chen Zhongzhi also took into account the feelings of these officers, because if he regarded these people as abandoned sons, then the morale of the army would really be weakened in the future, and no one would believe Chen Zhongzhi's responsibility as a leader. So Chen Zhongzhi proposed: Let's talk to him again
The Runing Army negotiated to allow those officers to leave freely with their troops.
However, there were also some officers who were pro-Runing Army present. They firmly disagreed with what Chen Zhongzhi did, because the Runing Army proposed that the entire army obey orders. If Chen Zhongzhi split the army, those pro-Runing Army officers were afraid of causing the Runing Army to rebel.
dissatisfaction, resulting in very serious consequences.
Then there was an accident. The two groups of officers began to quarrel, then fight, and finally resorted to knife attack. Chen Zhongzhi, who was trying to stop the fight, was also stabbed during the conflict, and this knife happened to hit the vital part. Then everything happened.
The army is in chaos...
After understanding all this, Xue Yongli was quite speechless. Although he didn't like to see Chen Zhongzhi, the whole Runing army really didn't think of hurting Chen Zhongzhi. But at this time, there was no more to say. It was better to deal with the aftermath first and get Chen Zhongzhi's troops out of the way.
Stay calm in this chaotic situation!
So Xue Yongli loudly ordered: "The entire army marches into the camp. Let the people in the camp surrender their weapons. Anyone who violates the rules will be shot to death."
…
When the troops of the Runing Army entered the camp of Chen Zhongzhi, the situation was quickly brought under control. The Runing Army arrested a group of officers and soldiers who caused chaos, that is, the troops who dared to fight with and kiss the officers of the Runing Army.
The person who took action then mercilessly beheaded the people in public, first using violence to deter the turbulent army.
The aftermath matters will also be completed by his troops. After Xue Yongli simply appeased the pro-Runing army and neutral officers, he immediately called Yao Liang, Fu Sheng and Ye Zhong over.
"Give the three of you two days to reorganize Chen Guerrilla's troops into your alliance, and then prepare to go north to Kaifeng. Then Yao Liang, you will lead the troops to help defend Kaifeng, Fu Sheng and Ye Zhong, you two will lead two
We will add a battalion and a chariot fleet to cross the Yellow River and go to Liaodong to reinforce my uncle! Make no mistake!" Xue Yongli ordered.
The original plan of the Runing Army was to let Yao Liang rush to Liaodong with his Xie and thirty tanks. Although the unit led by Yao Liang had the same designation as the Xie, his Xie had not yet expanded.
, the number was only more than 2,000, which was actually a regiment. Therefore, Xue Yongli simply reorganized Chen Zhongzhi's troops into this association this time and let Yao Liang command this army. The task of going north to Liaodong could only be commanded by the deputy commander of the association.
Fu Sheng and Ye Zhonglai, the commander of the auxiliary firearms, completed the task.
"Then what should I say when the governor asks?" Yao Liang asked a very practical question.
"Hey——!"
"But what should I do if the governor doesn't believe me?" Yao Liang asked again. After entering Kaifeng City, people from the outside world will definitely have contact with this army, and the cause of Chen Zhongzhi's death cannot be concealed. Yao Liang is afraid that the governor of Henan
Li Xianfeng investigated the reason.
"Believe it or not!" Xue Yongli immediately opened his eyes wide and warned, "Yao Liang! Let me tell you, you must remember that you are from the Runing Army, and you have tens of thousands of our brothers behind you. You should be tough.
You have to be tough and don't take Governor Li's whining in your eyes. Also, I will leave this army to you. You have to keep a close eye on these people in case they are captured by the officials in Kaifeng City.
Pull me over, you are the only one I ask!"
"No!" Yao Liang immediately stood at attention and agreed, and he couldn't help but feel a little cold sweat on his back. He knew that this was an opportunity given to him by Xue Yongli to prevent him from making the same mistakes he had made before. If he really did something about it,
It was a small blow to be beaten by Xue Yongli, but his future in the Runing Army was really over. So Yao Liang decided to ensure the integrity of this army and prevent other officials from getting involved.
