The general guarding the Lantian camp had a surname of Chen and a given name of Yuan. He was from Haining and was a relative of the Zhen family in Jinling.
This Chen Yuan was born into a noble family, but he joined the army at a young age and led the army to quell the rebellion of the barbarians in Guizhou and Huguang. He also served as the governor of the Lantian camp in Beijing. As an official, he served as a military official in Fengtian Yiwei and was promoted to Ronglu doctor, Zhuguo, and granted the title
Nan Hehou.
He is proficient in the art of war and is rigorous in running the army, and his troops are very respectful to him.
It's just that this time during the Tienwang Mountain hunting, all the armies were striving to take the lead. Only the army at Lantian Camp was silent and showed no reaction, which was strange.
Emperor Xiaode was sitting at the top of the terrace. He glanced at Chen Yuan, who was sitting below with a cold breath, and said: "Chen Aiqing, why is the Lantian camp so quiet? I heard that the general has strict military discipline, must trust rewards and punishments, and is brave in battle today.
Why is there no movement? Are you trying to hide your stupidity?"
Chen Yuan's face was indifferent, he cupped his hands and leaned forward, saying in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the autumn is now crisp and clear, it is the time when the crops are ripe and the beasts are looking for fruits. The soldiers of Lantian are all farmers, and they cannot bear to destroy this kind of harmony, and the Lantian Camp
To refine the military formation, in order to defend Chang'an, we will fight to the death without retreating, so we do not practice riding and archery."
Emperor Xiaode's face froze when he heard this. He didn't expect Chen Yuan to answer like this.
Doesn't this mean that the emperor doesn't know the art of war?
However, Chen Yuanshen was well versed in the art of war and had a military background, so he was closely related to the Zhen family.
The old lady of the Zhen family was the nanny of the Supreme Emperor. During his six trips to the south of the Yangtze River, the Zhen family picked him up four times.
Although Emperor Xiaode had almost eliminated the power of the Supreme Emperor, he was still unwilling to take action against the Zhen family in Jiangnan.
Without him, the tree would have big roots and deep roots.
The Chen Yuan in front of me is just a branch of the Zhen family.
For Emperor Xiaode, there were many ways to deal with a general who was in charge of the military camp.
But once it affects the whole body, it will be troublesome.
Thinking of this, Emperor Xiaode smiled slightly and said nothing more.
But as a fellow commander of the Jinyi Guards, Lin Zhao was accompanying the guard before driving, and when he heard Chen Yuan's words, he frowned slightly.
Nowadays, the Supreme Emperor's decree cannot leave Da'an Palace, and the Zhen family in Jiangnan has lost the power it once had. What confidence does a general from Lantian Camp have to do this?
Who is the person behind him?
This force is able to hide from the eyes and ears of the Dragon Guards and the Jin Yiwei, and successfully connects many people. It seems that it is quite capable.
…
"Dong dong dong!"
"Dong dong dong!"
Unknowingly, the sun has turned westward, and the warriors who have taken turns to fight have returned on horseback, with countless prey hanging in front of their horses.
Seen from a distance from a high place, countless iron cavalry are flying with four hooves, and the knights are masterfully controlling the horses, without slowing down at all due to the slow prey.
"Li Yong, the heroic cavalry commander of the Beijing patrol camp, shot two wild deer, three wild geese, deer, and hares, a total of fifteen, and presented them to me!"
"Zhao Changkong, the commander of the forward battalion of the Beijing camp, together with the three robes, captured two wild boars, eleven deer, and five white foxes, and presented them to me. May our emperor live long live!"
"Zhenyuan Army..."
"Jingying Jianrui Camp..."
"Bashang's army..."
"Forest Guards..."
"The Royal Horse Supervisor..."
Countless elite knights returned with great honors, and slowly brought their prey to the high platform where the emperor was, shouting loudly.
"Hahaha..." Listening to the shouts of "Long live your Majesty" one after another, Emperor Xiaode couldn't help laughing, showing his imperial demeanor.
After a long time, he said: "Thank you for your hard work, soldiers. There will be a bonfire meeting tonight. I will sit on the ground with the soldiers and share the prey. Dear friends, please come with me and don't let down the expectations of the soldiers!"
"I will obey the imperial edict. Long live my emperor!"
Many generals, ministers, and meritorious officials naturally did not dare to neglect and bowed together to salute.
No one would have trouble with the emperor at this time.
…
With the emperor personally ordering it, the bonfire party in the evening was naturally extremely lively.
Depending on the difficulty of the prey captured, the emperor personally awarded several gold medals, pushing the excitement of the party to its peak.
"Brother Prince Cheng, why didn't you go to the bonfire party?"
In Prince Chengzhong's royal tent, Prince Jian asked with a smile.
"Your Majesty shares wild animals with the soldiers and eats with his sons. Why are we, the clan, joining in the fun?"
Prince Chengzhong said with a smile.
The emperor can do it, the generals can do it, but the clan members cannot do it.
"We don't do it, but someone wants to do it!" Prince Jane sneered.
"You mean King Su, King Zhi, King Ding and others?"
Prince Chengzhong said.
"Yes, it's very cold in that position. We usually just complain a little, but some young people are blinded by that position, haha..." Prince Jian sneered.
"So, what does Prince Jian know?" Prince Chengzhong looked into Prince Jian's eyes and asked calmly.
"Brother Prince Cheng probably knows more than me." Prince Jian said with a smile.
The two looked at each other for a long time and suddenly laughed together.
"Hahaha……"
"Hahaha……"
After a long time, one person smiled calmly and said: "No matter who of them fights or makes trouble, we people can enjoy prosperity and wealth, so why do we care so much."
"That makes sense...hahaha..."
"But then again." Prince Jian's voice sounded: "Your Majesty has become powerful. No matter in the army or in the court, he has important officials and followers. He wants money and people. Some people only have big positions in their eyes.
But I don’t have a brain, I’m just afraid... haha,"
Prince Chengzhong nodded: "If those people had any brains, they would surely die after seeing this scene today..."
Before he finished speaking, the word "drum" had not yet been spoken.
Suddenly, his pupils shrank suddenly and he looked outside in horror...
Prince Jian's expression suddenly changed and he turned his head to look outside.
The two were stunned for a moment, then strode outside the tent together.
Opening the curtain, there was a fire in the distance!
The sound of killing shook the sky!
…
In the Shengjia Camp, the soldiers of the Forward Battalion had quickly gathered. The soldiers of the retinue surrounded Emperor Xiaode. They were all covered in clothes and stood on the high platform in the camp. Their faces were ashen as they watched in the distance as the encircling camp was engulfed in flames and flames.
Amidst the sound of killing.
The place where the fighting was the fiercest was at Lantian Camp.
Could it be that Nan He and Hou Chenyuan were planning to rebel?
Emperor Xiaode's eyes were cold, but he was not surprised, and even a little relieved.
There is a kind of
The feeling of "it really is them".
"Your Majesty, it's over at Lantian Camp..."
Dai Quan stood on the side of Emperor Xiaode and said in a deep voice.
The Royal Horse Supervisor, the Royal Forest Army, the commanders of the forward battalion and the generals stood behind them, all with calm expressions.
Emperor Xiaode sneered: "That's fine. It's better for them to come out than to hide in the dark. However, we should wait until the news is clear."
Seeing that the emperor's face remained calm and composed as usual, everyone was slightly panicked and immediately calmed down.
Yes, hasn’t the Emperor already arranged what should happen?
There are the Forward Battalion, Royal Horse Guards, Royal Forest Army and other troops here now, what else is there to be afraid of?
When everyone was looking at each other, there was suddenly a noise in front of them, and they saw that man walking over in big strides.
Without looking at anyone else, he directly raised his hands to Emperor Xiaode and said, "Your Majesty, I have found out clearly that the infantry camp suddenly launched a rebellion during the bonfire meeting and attacked the patrol camp and Xiaoqi camp. After the army was dispatched, the Lantian Army took the opportunity to set off.
, rushing towards the holy driver all the way, and now Ba Shangjun is already intercepting him."
"I understand!" Emperor Xiaode nodded slowly, suddenly turned to look at Lin Zhao, the commander of the Jinyi Guards who had been accompanying him, and asked: "Lin Zhao, what do you think?"
Lin Zhao cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I think this is another force acting. The top priority is to be careful of someone fishing in troubled waters!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.
Except for Dai Quan and that man, only Emperor Xiaode remained calm.
When you are an emperor, the so-called Mount Tai collapses in front of you and your appearance remains unchanged. This is your basic skill.
Only those who meet this standard can be considered wise.
Emperor Xiaode nodded and said: "So, they are attacking in the east and west, but there is an elite force that has already charged towards me?"
"Exactly!" Lin Zhao nodded.
As soon as he finished speaking, halfway down the mountain, suddenly there was a bright fire, and the shouts of killing were loud. An army of thousands of people rushed towards the forward camp garrison below the Shengjia Camp!
