Chapter 650: The dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, and was calmed down instantly
"Wang Huaizhen, as the commander-in-chief of an army, tens of thousands of troops are in trouble, but you can't find a way to rescue them. What are your intentions? Are you worthy of my thousands of soldiers in the Song Dynasty?"
Most of the trapped soldiers and horses had fought alongside Shen Tang.
Now that he doesn't know whether he will live or die, Wang Huai is not trying to find a way to rescue him, but instead he is playing tricks here.
But not caring about his identity, Shen Tang really wanted to kill him directly.
"Shen Tang, you don't need to comment on how I use my troops. Instead, you gathered the army privately. This is a capital crime..."
"Tap tap tap!"
At this moment, the sound of horse hoofbeats was heard again, and everyone followed the sound, only to see a mighty honor guard troop approaching.
"Shen Tang, you see, those are the imperial guards. His Majesty must have known that you secretly gathered troops to punish you.
I advise you to surrender immediately, otherwise, you will be guilty of killing the nine tribes."
Wang Huaizhen said proudly.
Seeing the arrival of this team, Shen Tang felt a little confused. Why did this imperial imperial army suddenly come? Could it be that Zhao Min really wanted to punish himself?
Just when Shen Tang frowned, the honor guard had already approached.
Shen Tang had some impression that the leader was Chu Xiong, the commander of the imperial army in the palace!
Under the gaze of everyone, Chu Xiong walked straight to Shen Tang, got off his horse, and then respectfully put his luggage away!
"The last general, Chu Xiong, has met General Shen!"
Shen Tang was stunned, this...isn't he here to cause trouble for himself?
"Commander Chu, you are too polite. Shen has no military position and cannot be called a general!"
"Ha ha!"
Chu Xiong laughed loudly and did not explain, but said, "The general has been ordered to come here to convey the order. I will talk to you later."
"General, please excuse me!"
Shen Tang said curiously.
"Wang Huai has received the order!"
Chu Xiong turned around with a straight look on his face and drank loudly.
Wang Huaicheng was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly stepped forward, "Your Majesty, Wang Huaicheng, accept the order!"
"I have the talent of Wang Huai. As the commander-in-chief of the expedition to the west, he failed to achieve even an inch of success and instead caused the army to suffer.
The imperial guard immediately escorted him back to the court for punishment..."
"What?"
The content of the decree made Wang Huaizhen feel like he was struck by lightning, and the others were in an uproar!
This happened so suddenly, there was no warning before.
"I don't accept it!"
Wang Huaixun suddenly shouted loudly, stood up and retreated directly to Sun Ze and others.
"I have always worked hard and been loyal to the emperor and the country. Why should I be punished?"
It’s no wonder that Wang Huai is so crazy. It turns out that Zhang Jun has been suppressing him at home. He finally got this opportunity, how could he give up!
If he is caught back, he will never be able to stand out again!
"The commander knows that you and Shen Tang are in the same group! You mobilized troops privately and forged the imperial edict. This is a capital crime! I will detain you first. When the war in Chengdu is over, I will escort you back. The court is on trial!”
Knowing that he could not escape, Wang Huaixun gritted his teeth and decided to walk all the way to the dark side.
As long as Shen Tang and these guards are detained, and the Chengdu Mansion is pacified, how will the imperial court deal with its own crimes?
Moreover, if it really doesn't work, just cruelly let them disappear.
Anyway, there are Tubo people and local tribes in Chengdu Prefecture now, so all they have to do is frame them.
As for the people Shen Tang brought, some were Jin people and some were from local tribes. How could their words be taken seriously?
"Wang Huaizhen, you want to rebel but you can't!"
Chu Xiong's expression turned cold. He didn't expect that Wang Huai was so talented that he would jump over the wall!
"Hmph, you are the ones who rebelled! Come and capture them all. All those who resist will be killed without mercy!"
When Sun Ze and other close associates heard this, they gritted their teeth and called for others to come forward. However, many soldiers were hesitant! After all, this formation did not look fake.
However, most of these people were brought by Wang Huaizhen, so although they hesitated, under Sun Ze's urging, they crowded around Chu Xiong and others in a noisy manner!
Chu Xiong was furious. As the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard and holding an imperial edict, these people dared to attack him!
Although the guards he brought looked mighty, they were not only small in number but also average in combat effectiveness. Therefore, he gritted his teeth and moved closer to Shen Tang.
"Master Shen, please accept the order. Your Majesty ordered Wang Huaichen to be escorted, and continued to let Master Shen command the troops of Chengdu Mansion.
Moreover, Your Majesty promotes Master Shen to the rank of bachelor of Longtuge and general of virtue!"
Chu Xiong didn't care about etiquette, and continued to shout out the rest of the imperial edict as he approached Shen Tang.
Shen Tang was stunned, a little surprised! It would be normal if he was just allowed to continue to pacify the Chengdu Mansion, but he didn't expect that there would be such a high reward!
"My lord, thank you for your kindness!"
Shen Tang waved his hand, and the army behind him moved to protect Chu Xiong, and Chu Xiong also handed the imperial edict directly into Shen Tang's hands.
When I opened it, I found that the contents were indeed the same as what Chu Xiong said.
Shen Tang stepped forward on his horse, holding the imperial edict in his hand, and gave a sharp shout!
"Stop!"
The soldiers were hesitant, but when they saw Shen Tang walking out, they couldn't help but stop. Although this was their base camp, there were only 20,000 soldiers and horses, but behind Shen Tang, there were nearly 40,000 troops!
"You see clearly, this man is the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army, and in my hands is His Majesty's imperial edict! Wang Huaizhen wants to drag you into eternal disaster, don't you care about your family, and are you not afraid of killing the nine tribes?"
"You are also soldiers of the Song Dynasty. As long as you step aside, I, Shen Tang, will never pursue you! But if you continue to obey Wang Huai's orders, don't blame my army for being ruthless!"
The threat of 40,000 troops and the power of the imperial edict finally made these people panic.
Although I am not blaming everyone, if I really follow Wang Huai and violate the imperial edict, what will happen?
"Don't listen to him, the imperial edict is false, they forged the edict..."
Seeing the hesitation of his troops, Wang Huai was immediately panicked!
However, Shen Tang did not give them more time, and directly ordered sternly, "Heihan, Zhuo, and Wuhai, step forward and capture Wang Huaizhen! Suppress all those who resist!"
The two sneered and immediately led their troops to rush forward!
Wang Huai was panicked. He hurriedly mounted his horse and wanted to escape back to the city to resist. Sun Ze and other close associates stopped paying attention to others and wanted to escape.
However, trying to escape in front of the Jin Kingdom's cavalry was really wishful thinking. They only ran a hundred steps before being overtaken by Heihan, Zhuo and others.
The moment of chaotic fighting quickly ended, and the bound Wang Huaixiang and a group of cronies were escorted in front of Shen Tang!
"Please forgive me, Commander..."
The victory was clear, and the ordinary soldiers fell down in panic and threw their weapons aside.
They are just ordinary soldiers. If they surrender to the enemy, they will naturally hesitate.
However, now there is just a change of commander, which has no impact on them at all. Therefore, if Wang Huai fails, they will directly surrender to Shen Tang!
