The barracks of Zhe Chong Mansion will naturally not be placed in the city. After all, they are all soldiers, and they also need a training ground.
Therefore, he was placed in a camp not far away from Qizhou City.
Even though Qizhou is located on Henan Road in the Tang Dynasty, the soldiers of Zhechong Mansion did not dare to slack off. At night, there would be soldiers on duty to patrol the military camp.
At this moment, it was already past midnight and dawn was not far away.
At this moment, the soldiers on duty, who had already begun to doze off, heard a burst of intensive hoofbeats, suddenly trembled, and raised their heads.
He saw at least two to three hundred horsemen galloping towards this side. The soldier quickly poked the commander next to him.
"Brother Six, Brother Six, look someone is coming."
Sixth Brother yawned and immediately became energetic after just looking at it twice. He couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
"Who is this, staying up in the middle of the night, how can there be so many cavalry?"
"Brother Six, is he a horse thief from somewhere?"
"Young lady's nonsense, this is not a border town, how can there be such a large-scale horse thief?"
Brother Six glared at the boy angrily, but he immediately picked up the hammer and sounded the alarm.
In a short time, Zhechong Captain Wang Zhong hurried towards this side angrily.
Behind him, a group of officers from Qizhou Zhechong Prefecture also came together with very ugly expressions on their faces.
At this moment, this team of about two to three hundred riders had arrived just a stone's throw away from the camp gate.
The leader galloped forward. "I am General Zuotunwei, Cheng Jie, a personal general under Lu Guogong."
"I came here under the order of the general. This is the Zhechong Mansion camp in Qizhou. Can your general be here?"
"General Cheng?" Wang Zhong couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Why did this notorious veteran ruffian come to Qizhou?
"This is Wang Zhong, the captain of the Zhechong Prefecture in Qizhou. I wonder why General Cheng sent General Cheng here?"
"On the order of the general, I have specially escorted His Highness the King of Wu's messenger here. Why don't you open the door quickly?"
After hearing about General Cheng and His Highness King Wu, Wang Zhong still dared to hesitate and quickly ordered his subordinates to open the camp gate.
#####
Soon, more than two hundred riders galloped into the camp.
Cheng Jie strode forward and saluted Wang Zhong.
"I wonder where General Cheng is at this moment?"
Seeing Wang Zhong asking with a flattering smile, Cheng Jie suddenly turned serious.
"Where is the general stationed? This is a major military matter. Is there anything you can ask about?"
"Yes, yes, the general is presumptuous..."
"I have been ordered by the general to escort His Royal Highness the King of Wu's messenger. This is Li Dianjun, the inner-president of the King of Wu's Mansion."
Li Min glanced at Cheng Jie who was standing aside. Before coming, the two of them had already planned over and over how to control the military power of Qizhou Zhechong Mansion.
Naturally, we cannot let the captain of Qizhou Zhechong Prefecture know the true situation.
After all, this is Qizhou, and the commander-in-chief of Zhechong Mansion in Qizhou would be weird if he and the King of Qi don't get along with each other.
Therefore, after much deliberation, in the end we could only use the situation to suppress others. After all, Cheng Jie has always been the leader of General Cheng's personal soldiers.
Therefore, we decided to adopt an approach similar to the empty city strategy, which is both deceptive and scary.
At this moment, Li Minpi smiled at Wang Zhong and touched the corner of his mouth pitifully, and then handed over the letter written by King Wu Li Ke.
Wang Zhong glanced briefly, and in an instant, his eyes almost fell out of his sockets.
The letter in his hand almost dropped to the ground, and he raised his head in disbelief.
"This, how is this possible..."
Li Min's face suddenly darkened, and his hand was already on the handle of the horizontal sword beside his waist.
"Bold! Captain Wang, do you dare to question His Highness?!"
"Li Dianjun, General Cheng, what happened?" Captain Guo Yi couldn't help but interrupt.
"General Cheng, look..." Li Min looked at Cheng Jie standing aside with some hesitation.
The veteran driver Cheng Jie stroked his thick beard and rolled his eyes.
"Li Dianjun, you are very afraid. The general has already led his troops to arrive. There is no harm in letting them all know about this matter."
"General Cheng led his army to Qizhou, what... is he going to do?" A group of generals who didn't know the truth were dumbfounded and discussed one after another.
At this time, Li Min cleared his throat and said.
"His Royal Highness the King of Qi did not abide by the law and had a surly temperament. He was bewitched by thieves and intended to murder important officials of the imperial court. After the defeat, he intended to raise troops to cause chaos."
"General Cheng's orthodox troops came to suppress the attack, and His Royal Highness also came with the army. He ordered the elites of Qizhou Zhechong Prefecture to immediately go to the location of Qizhou City.
Seal the four gates of Qizhou and prohibit soldiers and civilians from entering and exiting Qizhou City to prevent military chaos from spreading everywhere."
"..." At this moment, Wang Zhong's mind was already in a mess. As the person in charge of Qizhou Zhechong Mansion.
Wang Zhong naturally had a very deep friendship with the King of Qi Li You, but he never thought that his own son would rebel against his own father for such a shameless operation.
Rebellion was a major crime against the nine tribes. Wang Zhong carefully considered the depth of his friendship with His Highness Prince Qi.
At this moment, the soldier guarding the camp gate suddenly started shouting loudly again, this time even more vigorously. After all, he was very familiar with the flag erected at the front of the opponent's team.
"General, someone is here again. They are from His Highness King Qi. They look like they have thirty or fifty riders."
"!!!" In an instant, the originally noisy crowd fell into dead silence.
Cheng Jie in front of him grinned, showing a strange and ferocious smile.
"The general's troops are still fifty miles away from Qizhou City. If the people of Qizhou Zhechong Mansion want to make meritorious service to the imperial court, they will immediately capture the subordinates of King Qi.
If you think that King Qi is really capable, he can capture the tens of thousands of elite cavalry from the Zuotun Guard led by General E's family.
If you are not afraid that your nine clans will be punished, you might as well try first to see if you can take down our three hundred elites."
Following Cheng Jie's words, the three hundred cavalrymen behind him all got on their horses again, all hands resting on the horizontal sword beside their waist.
Looking at these three hundred cavalry, Wang Zhong and the generals of Qizhou Zhechong Mansion were sweating like rain. Nima... who the hell would be so stupid?
"General Cheng, Li Dianjun, and Qizhou Zhechong Mansion are all teachers of the imperial court. How dare they have the intention of betrayal and rebellion. I will let you two rest assured now..."
#####
The sky has brightened, and the soldiers of the Cheng family are riding horses along the official road, running towards the southwest.
As I was running, I suddenly saw dozens of riders appearing not far ahead, raising their arms and shouting loudly.
"The Zuowei troops are stationed here, and those who come will stop."
"Left guard garrison?" Cheng Wanda, a soldier of the Cheng family, was stunned and looked at Zhang Lei, the guard of Prince Wu's Mansion on the side. The two of them were instantly happy.
