"The Queen Mother is a thousand years old, a thousand years old"
The Empress Dowager entered the camp, her own soldiers came in proudly, and everyone from the camp commander and above gathered to pay their respects. Many people on the ground glanced at her with livid faces, and saw that everyone was shouting for a thousand years, but they had to follow her in.
After the worship, there was no sound in the camp. The wind blew in, and everyone felt cold in their hearts. For a long time, they only listened to the Queen Mother saying slowly: "You are all generals and know some inside stories."
"The Ai family knows that the soldiers do not want to be enemies with Gu Jiupaoze, and will not make it difficult for the righteous soldiers to ask for rebellion.
"It's just that the alliance's oath five days ago to sacrifice blood to defeat Dong is still in my ears. The Ai family thinks about it day and night and will never forget it. Do you still remember it?"
Many people bowed their heads in astonishment, and the Queen Mother smiled slightly again, and her voice became clearer: "Moreover, your lord is devoted to the Han Dynasty. How can he be a traitor to the alliance? There must be treacherous officials who are sowing discord, and even threatening your lord.
At this time it is even more important to work together.”
The expressions of some people on the ground changed slightly, and one of them muttered in a low voice: "This is the Lord's order."
Some people froze and stared at the Queen Mother. As soon as someone raised their head, they would immediately explode. The Queen Mother glanced down and knew that this was the critical moment. Cold sweat broke out from behind, but she said calmly: "The Xiliang Army is being chased by you all."
He only cares about escaping. The so-called Dong Zhuo is just a chicken and a tile dog, vulnerable to attack. Luoyang is about to advance. Why do some people suddenly say that the alliance is broken? They even ask you to put down your hostility towards Dong Zhuo and immediately turn around to deal with friendly forces? Do you think this kind of ridiculous thing can happen in the world?
?”
"This must be a small number of spies from the Xiliang Army. Are you people usually a little unusual?" the Queen Mother said loudly.
The cavalry officers of each battalion listened to each other and looked at each other, not sure whether they believed it or not. Most of them fell silent... It seems that there are those who have objections. They usually form a small circle of their own and are quite unsocial?
"What do you want? Are you rebelling?" Some people on the ground were horrified by this look and shouted, but their mouths were covered by their companions: "Don't lie about something wrong..."
At this time, there was a faint voice outside the camp, and a secret message came, saying that the takeover was very smooth. The Queen Mother was a little surprised when she heard this. She narrowed her eyes and glanced at the officers below, and then watched Luan drive up to Liu Daqi. She
He laughed secretly.
She can understand that there are two aspects that can be used - on the one hand, the legacy of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Bei is the leader of the alliance. Although the leader is not the emperor, he is also a legitimate superior.
Kings and ministers, masters and servants are the key to maintaining order. How many unprepared people can adapt to it if they draw swords against the leader of the alliance?
Moreover, when they are advancing rapidly to pursue the remnants of the bandits, the nature of the army is to attack the weak with the strong and obey the strong who can lead them to victory. Even from the perspective of ordinary lower-level lieutenants, the Xiliang Army's 100,000-strong guarding Xiongguan was defeated in a few days.
Now that the coalition forces with 500,000 troops have entered, in the eyes of most soldiers, Dong Zhuo with 170,000 troops is no different from a defeated enemy, and Luoyang will be captured within a few days.
And the leader of the alliance is about to become a ZTE king like Guangwu. As a minor official, he leaves Conglong's hero to do nothing and follows his superiors to buck the trend?
Leave Dong Zhuo alone, a soft persimmon, and hit Liu Shijun, a hard rock?
The Han people have always been both honest and cunning when it comes to their vital interests. Soldiers may not expect to be so profound. However, military affairs are a matter of life and death. Whichever path they take has a greater chance of survival. They all have instinctive feelings or are not rational enough, but it is enough to make their hearts move.
.
"Queen Mother, the morale of the soldiers is mostly stable, and we can take action." Cao Baijing whispered to her, signaling that the actual process would begin.
The Queen Mother glanced at the faintly surrounding red armored cavalry and crossbowmen outside, and said with understanding: "In order to distinguish Dong's thieves and spies, please stand on my right hand if your heart is toward Han, and stand on my left if your heart is on Dong."
Before the Han Dynasty, except for the Qin Dynasty, the left was respected for a short time. This was actually an inducement hint, and the choice did not seem to violate the military orders of various families, but it was also an inducement to choose between two...especially when the Queen Mother only stretched out one right hand.
The soldiers didn't say anything, they all pressed the hilts of their swords, and many cavalrymen from the small princes panicked.
With great righteousness, military strength, threat, and sense of injustice, some people subconsciously headed in the direction pointed by the Queen Mother, and most of the cavalry officers and generals from the minor princes moved to their right hand.
The only ones who stood out were the officers of Cao Jun and Sun Jun, who were nervous.
This is to take sides and take the opportunity to fight against each other... The Queen Mother looked at it, and there was someone in the two families who couldn't bear the pressure and whispered to their superiors.
Some people on the ground saw something was wrong and shouted: "Are you going to betray the lord?"
Those who wanted to go to the right were stunned and hesitated for a while. Some people looked left and right, and suddenly someone jumped up and said loudly: "I am the lord's retainer. You said that we have evil intentions. What proof do you have?"
Even though you are the Queen Mother, it is not easy to seize my military power."
As he said that, he wanted to run out of the tent.
"Kill these Dong traitors and spies." The Queen Mother's voice was trembling. At this time, no one could tell that this was the first time she had given such a military order. Suddenly, a soldier laughed ferociously and responded: "Yes."
To suddenly pull out the sword and stab it, and this person is also a martial artist. At this time, if he holds his backhand, he will resist.
"Buzz" a burst of golden light instantly hit the man, making him unable to move for an instant. At this moment, the soldier stabbed, and the long sword penetrated straight into him. The man screamed and fell over with a pop.
The magicians had already prepared to gather fire, and a defensive halo flashed across the bodies of the remaining people. In the blink of an eye, they were overwhelmed by the spells, and their long knives slashed together, causing blood and flesh to fly everywhere.
Another person took this opportunity and rushed to the tent door, shouting: "Come here, the Queen Mother is going to kill someone, come here quickly."
He was shouting, but three times in a row, there was a commotion in the camp, all looking at his own officers.
But many of these officers are people from the ground. They do belong to the governor or Yu Fan's camp, but don't forget, they are people from the ground.
Most of these were young cavalry officers who were neither above nor below. Looking at the dense military formation in the distance, they knew that if they were not careful, the whole camp would fight. They all cursed in their hearts: "You Yan Shen, Yu Fan, and Ye Qing are going to fight on their own.
We little guys are involved in this, and if we don’t get any benefits, we have to lose our lives in it, who cares?”
At the moment, I was silent and pretended not to hear.
Some recognized Cao Baijing as Mrs. Gan and directly asked her to surrender. They even said that they and Liu Shijun were old acquaintances and should not kill each other.
Cao Baijing smiled and talked about the conditions via voice transmission, and various unequal treaties were released one by one.
The officers didn't move, the soldiers didn't move, so the camp became quiet again. By the third time the man shouted, he was already full of despair.
After shouting a third time, the knife was stabbed from the back, and when it was pulled out bloody, the soldier easily rubbed it on the body, inserted it into the sheath calmly, and looked back: "Queen Mother, all the spies have been executed."
In fact, when the Queen Mother saw this man shouting, she broke into a cold sweat and her legs were shaking secretly. Then she thought to herself: "It must be that the virtue of man has not faded yet."
At this time, seeing that the situation was not good, several people looked at each other, crushed the escape talisman, and with a flash of red light, the figure fell into the void and disappeared.
Seeing this, the Queen Mother just announced loudly, saying: "Have you seen it, these Guo are Dong's spies and Taiping Dao thieves?"
At this time, everyone had pale faces and fell to the ground shouting: "A Thousand Years Old Queen Mother!"
The remaining people on the ground who were not exposed looked ugly.
He knew that he was caught in a trap, but he came to Xiatu to gain benefits and not to die. There was no reason to be in danger. He immediately followed him and fled even if he had an escape talisman. Even the boss escaped. This confirmed the guilty conscience of the spy and made him
The abandoned soldiers looked ugly, and the people on the ground without escape symbols immediately raised their hands and surrendered.
"How come... all the princes and armies are all weaklings like this?" The Queen Mother was a little stunned. She felt and remembered that the courageous and desperate efforts of the middle and lower-level generals were contrary to her impression, and it felt a bit farcical.
Cao Baijing knew the inside story. In fact, if most of them were indigenous people, they might have to fight for their masters. However, the governor and Yu Fan were smart enough to use many non-commissioned officers among the people on the ground, and most of them were from the imperial court system - the imperial court.
The system is not the private army of the Governor and Yu Fan. Who would really work hard? If it was ordered by the imperial court, maybe it would be the same.
At this time, it is natural to fight against the wind and avoid it at all costs. Cao Baijing secretly called it a fluke, but said slanderously: "Now the place has become so corrupt that the Dong, Cao, and Sun thieves are all unbearable. That's why my lord is alone."
It’s destiny.”
Everyone on the ground who heard it turned red and black, cursing secretly in their stomachs.
The Queen Mother thought about it for a while and nodded with deep understanding: "Mrs. Gan's words are very true. The Ai family has left the palace less often. It is never expected that the people's morale has deteriorated to this point. No wonder the sky has brought disaster... Alas, the Ai family only saw this.
I can leave it to Ambassador Liu."
Daying
"Bastard" Yu Fan stood up and stared down with cold eyes: "If that woman says this, won't you immediately start an army?"
"Even if you rush to Dong Zhuo, it is much better than abandoning your troops and returning."
"My lord, the situation is really urgent..." Several cavalry generals were a little embarrassed and frightened, and they complained repeatedly, but they were very dissatisfied in their hearts - being a vassal family is not a slave. They have their own land and workshops to make a living, and they can contribute to your Yu family.
There is a duty, just transport some cannon fodder. Is it possible that we also contribute the lives of the elites in the family?
If you contribute a few more times, the clan will be unable to succeed and will be annexed. Who could be so stupid?
"Go down." Yu Fan waved his sleeves and roared, driving away these few. The anger in his heart was still there. He opened the tent door and looked around. No one dared to look at him, whether it was the natives or the people on the ground.
Time is a bit boring.
Mr. Kou rushed over after hearing the news. Seeing that his master was in a depressed mood, he quickly stepped away and closed the tent door, signaling for sound insulation.
"Lord, calm down, this is different from the earth. My lord, your goal is dragon energy, but the other people on the earth only come to practice, experience, and hunt for treasures. Their interests are separated from yours..." Mr. Kou did not say anything else.
Keep talking.
Now that these people are in a hurry, they can jump to Ye Qing or the Governor. Ye Qing is famous for pretending to be lenient. He has even bought horse bones for a thousand dollars, so it is not the opposite.
Yu can't come out.
Although Mr. Kou had some feelings, he never thought that when he purged the natives and replaced them all with people from the ground, he would end up with such a terrible disaster - it was really a mistake.
Did Ye Qing foresee this when he re-employed the indigenous people?
