Chapter three hundred and eighty fourth captured troops
"It's not too late. The Marquis will make a decision early on. If there is any further delay, other variables may arise!"
In a large house located in the center of Yanlingbu Town, Chen Mingsheng, as the captain who stayed at the Taowu Jitun camp military mansion during the vassal war, and the military guard of the military mansion, was also the one who sent troops to Jinling after the Marquis of Xinchang, Lipu, recruited seven soldiers.
The elite general was standing in front of the case with his head held high, his hand with exposed veins holding the saber at his waist, and he raised his voice to urge the Marquis of Xinchang, Li Pu, to make a decision as soon as possible.
In early summer, the sky was still a little smoky, and the night was already dark. The door of the lobby was closed tightly, and several large candles were burning, exuding the aroma of beeswax. The breeze came in from unknown cracks, blowing the candlelight slightly.
The shaking made the faces of the generals in the hall look quite uncertain.
More than five months have passed since the Jinling Incident. Many things that happened during this period seemed to be like lead-like clouds, weighing on their hearts, making them breathless.
The southern foot of Baohua Mountain was originally located in Jiangcheng County, which belongs to Jingzhao Prefecture. After the Taowu Military Prefecture was established, the land between the southern foot and Chishan Lake was carved out from Jiangcheng County; to the east of Baohua Mountain is the Runzhou Prefecture.
It is located in Dantu County, and to the southeast is Danyang, another large county belonging to Runzhou.
In the past five months, their activities have been in Taowu Jijunfu, Jiangcheng County, Dantu County, and Danyang County.
At first, when he saw that Anning Palace had complete control over the imperial army inside and outside Jinling City, and the bodyguards, Xinchang Hou Li Pu was worried that he would be trapped in a tight siege, so he gave up the Taowu Military Mansion (Qiuhu Mountain) and marched eastward without hesitation, and took the lead to protect his family.
Xiaodong withdrew to Dantu City (Runzhou City).
Rao Geng, the forward general of the Chuzhou Army, led 8,000 elite Chuzhou Army troops to cross the river south to clear the way for the main force of the Chuzhou Army to cross the river. The Marquis of Xinchang, Li Pu, gave up Dantu City near the river and withdrew his family to Nanwu.
Danyang City is more than ten miles away.
When the letter was received, Wang Yang Yuanyan led his 800 silver halberd guards across the river and entered Dantu City. He ordered Li Pu to lead his troops out of Danyang City and march westward in parallel with the forwards of the Chuzhou Army, and with Xu who advanced to the southeastern foothills of Baohua Mountain.
The decisive battle between the Imperial Guards of Nanya under Zhu's command.
In this battle, King Xin Yang Yuanyan won a dazzling victory and a great victory. The Nanya Imperial Army was frightened by the news and became famous all over the world. However, the nearly 7,000 elite dragon and bird troops that Li Pu, the Marquis of Xinchang, had finally assembled were defeated.
, was beaten to a disability, and his spine was completely broken.
What made Xinchang Marquis Li Pu even more embarrassed was that when he and his remaining troops wanted to return to Danyang City to rest and recuperate, Chuzhou Army General Qin Ran, on the orders of Xin Wang Yang Yuanyan, had already led 2,000 cavalry to Danyang City one step ahead and controlled the gates of the four cities.
Xinchang Hou Li Pu and his remnant troops were kept out of the city. Not only did they not dare to take back Danyang City by force, they also watched helplessly as more than 40,000 old, weak, women and children were driven out of Danyang City by Qin Ran.
Li Pu, the Marquis of Xinchang, could only take 40,000 to 50,000 old, weak, women, children, and remnants of troops, like bereft dogs, to retreat to a town called Yanling, more than 30 miles southwest of Danyang City, to rest and recuperate, which is where they were meeting at this time.
Yanling was originally the land of the Wu Kingdom in the Spring and Autumn Period. It was a fiefdom for Ji Zha, the son of the King of Wu. During the Spring and Autumn Period, a city was built, much earlier than the existing surrounding cities such as Jiangcheng, Dantu, Danyang, and Liyang. However, only the city remains.
It was abandoned for more than 300 years. Currently, only the Jizi Temple and the Jizi Tomb named Yanling Ruins remain. Relics can still be found on the west bank of the Shenpu River in Zhenbu.
However, Yanling Town Port is the most important water and land terminal on the Shenpu River. It is the intersection of water and land at the eastern foot of Maoshan Mountain. Silk, rice, paper, ink and other items from the Hangzhou, Huxiu and other states are loaded into Taihu Lake, and large ships are transported along the Yangtze River waterway.
To travel to various places, small boats usually take the Shenpu River, pass through Chishan Lake, and the Qiupu River into Jinling.
Although Yanling is a town, it is much more prosperous than the county town.
In addition to the rows of houses along the town port along the river, the Jizi Temple outside the town was renovated in the past few years by local sages who donated money and food. It now has six courtyards and more than 60 palaces.
Yanling and Longhua Port are collectively called the Twenty-Four Ports of Jinling City.
Every year, up to tens of thousands of large and small merchant ships pass through Yanling, which is also the rice and grain trading center outside Jinling.
In addition to the eleven counties of Jingzhao Prefecture, Jinling City has a population of more than 600,000. In terms of rice and grain alone, six to seven million dan must be imported from surrounding prefectures and counties every year to meet the consumption of Jinling City.
Such a huge consumption of rice grains is partly raised from prefectures and counties through land taxes and taxes, but is distributed through officials' salaries, and part of it is distributed through grain merchants' subordinate counties and Surun Changyang Yue Hangxiu Lake, which is rich in rice grains to the east of Jinling.
The state trafficked rice and grain into Jinling City, together with other bulk materials such as charcoal, cloth, tea and medicine, to meet the material needs of this most prosperous city in the world.
Yanling is one of the bulk material trading and distribution centers outside Jinling. How can the prosperity of Yanling in the past be compared to that of a remote county?
However, after the Jinling Incident, the air in the prosperous areas south of the Yangtze River was filled with tension. Except for the locals, business travel had long been cut off. The boats and sails that used to block the sun on the Xipu River suddenly disappeared.
Falling down sparsely.
The few remaining local ships were directly requisitioned after Xinchang Hou Li Pu led his troops to withdraw.
The Marquis of Xinchang, Li Pu, led his troops to withdraw to Yanling for rest and recuperation, instead of retreating directly to Maoshan, only 20 miles west of Yanling, to defend the area. The main reason was that Yanling had access to both land and water, making it easy to advance and retreat.
In addition, although business travel to Yanling has been suspended since November last year, it was so prosperous before, and there was a lot of grain in the town and surrounding villages.
Nearly 50,000 family members and remnant soldiers were driven out of Danyang City. It was not easy to provide food for so many people. Only in a large port like Yanling could it be relatively easy to collect enough food to support 40,000 to 50,000 old, weak, women and children.
of grain.
Although it is not a big problem to provide food for 40,000 to 50,000 people in a short period of time, it is not difficult to imagine that the Allies calculated such a plan and suffered such heavy casualties. Together with more than 40,000 old, weak, women and children, they were driven out of the city. The morale of the army was weak and the morale of the army was disorganized.
of.
At this time, the Nanya Imperial Army was newly defeated and was hurriedly organizing a new line of defense in Qiuhu Mountain and Jiangcheng City.
After the Chuzhou Army's navy retreated back to Jinling, the main force was seizing the time to cross the river and pass Dantu, advancing westward along the southern foot of Baohua Mountain and approaching Qiuhu Mountain.
If both armies had not had time to look around for the time being, their remnant army might only need more than a thousand elite cavalry to defeat them again and rout them.
Chen Mingsheng knew very well that he would never let them leave easily until King Xin Yang Yuanyan led the main force of the Chuzhou army to capture Qiuhu Mountain and Jiangcheng City and completely control the area east of Jinling City.
In Chen Mingsheng's view, more than 40,000 old, weak, women and children were abandoned at this time. While the Anning Palace was fully prepared to prevent the Chuzhou army from advancing westward and had no time to take care of them, they could still lead 3,000 soldiers to quickly circle to the west of Jinling.
Looking for an opportunity to board a ship and evacuate to Yueyang.
The key is to be fast and make decisive decisions.
Otherwise, if the delay continues, the morale of the army will be further weakened and collapsed. In the end, they may only be able to escape back to Yueyang in embarrassment with thirty or fifty people.
The battle at Jingshan Nunnery directly showed that their previous strategy of uniting with Chuzhou was a complete failure. Zheng Chang, Han Daoming and others escorted the concubine to Yueyang first, and they did not need to bear much responsibility for this, but their power in Yueyang was once the same. The Xinchang Hou Mansion is so embarrassing.
If they can bring three thousand elites back to Yueyang, they can more or less save some face, and more importantly, they can seize more military power. In the autumn of troubled times, three sons are vying for supremacy, and all states are recruiting troops to defend the country. Which place is more important than military power?
If they were only escorted by thirty or fifty guards and fled back to Yueyang like bereaved dogs, let alone Han Qian, Shen Yang, Wang Lin, Gao Chengyuan, Guo Liang, Zhou Pan, Chen Jingzhou and even Li Zhigao would have hated them to the bone. Among all the generals in the line, who would not add insult to injury, and who would take the opportunity to attack them?
What's more, King Tan doesn't like them anymore, not just for a day or two.
Even if the foundation of the Xinchanghou Mansion in Yueyang is still there, and even if the concubine comes to protect them, Xinchanghou Lipu and the others will probably be forced into hibernation for a while by His Highness, so that they can calm down the controversy, right?
Yuan Guowei's slightly aged face looked somewhat pale and weak under the candlelight. It had been a month since the arrow wound on his left shoulder, and it had not fully healed. It was aching now. He had to admit that age is not forgiving. .
Yuan Guowei originally stayed in Yueyang and was responsible for the affairs of Jinyun Tower in Yueyang. However, when Zheng Yu, Zheng Chang, Han Daoming and others escorted the concubine back to Yueyang, he and Lin Haizheng tried hard to persuade King Tan not to take it lightly, but they did not think that King Tan would not take it lightly. They didn't listen to the advice and even scolded them severely.
Because of Lin Haizheng's relationship with Xuzhou, his position did not change, but he was sent to Jinling.
Yuan Guowei is nominally the commander-in-chief of the army in front of him, but everyone knows why he was kicked here. How could Li Pu, Chen Mingsheng and others treat him well, and how could they really leave the task of scolding the detectives to him?
Although Yuan Guowei had a high status, he was completely led by the nose of Xinchang Hou Li Pu in his actions.
There is no way around this.
Although Chen Mingsheng advocated immediately abandoning the more than 40,000 dependents as burdens, Yuan Guowei couldn't bear it when he thought of the faces of old, weak, women and children flashing in his mind. He also thought that Li Pu's actions would result in the death of 3,000 generals. His military morale was further weakened and collapsed, but he couldn't think of any other way to delay it any longer.
Maybe this is a dead end with no choice?
Perhaps this is a desperate situation that makes one unable to struggle?
Yuan Guowei thought sadly that perhaps giving up the large and complex family and dependents would be a cruel but pragmatic choice, right?
At this time, Li Pu was much older than when he met Wang Wenqian in Qiuhu Mountain. His face was also uncertain at this moment, but he did not dare to express his position easily.
He didn't want to leave, but the question was, would the three thousand generals follow him easily?
What if during the march, the morale of the army completely collapses and the generals mutiny?
"At this time, the military attaches at all levels are still obeying the orders of the Marquis, but if the delay continues, it will be difficult for the military attaches at all levels to suppress the restlessness of the generals." Chen Mingsheng could guess what Li Pu was worried about, but just like that, he just We should also advise Li Pu to make an early decision and not miss the last opportunity because of indecision.
Taowu Jijunfu, from the level of the captain, was organized into large and small villages to manage military households.
From the moment the hungry people were recruited, in order to achieve the purpose of controlling the Longque Army, almost all the military commanders of the large and small villages were appointed by the family soldiers of the Xinchang Hou Mansion.
The number of garrison military mansions under the jurisdiction of the Tanwang Palace Hujun Mansion has expanded from the original one to ten. The newly added garrison military mansions are mainly located in Junzhou and Tanzhou, but the core influence of Xinchanghou Mansion has always been
The military gathering in Taowu, including the craftsman's workshop built by Han Qian in the early stage, was completely taken over by the direct relatives of the Xinchang Hou Mansion.
In other words, after Xinchanghou Li Pu returned to Jinling, he recruited soldiers and horses from the military households. Almost all the military attachés and generals above the rank of team leader were from Xinchanghou Mansion.
This is also the key reason why Feng Liao, Jiang Huo and others were unable to stop when Li Pu, the Marquis of Xinchang, decided to conspire with Chuzhou to abandon Han Daoxun. It is also the key reason why Li Pu could barely control this army at this time.
These military attachés and the general's family members, which are relatively small in number, have all been sent to Yueyang.
In Chen Mingsheng's view, this was their last resort in controlling the troops to evacuate to Yueyang. At least relying on these military attachés and generals, they could suppress the restlessness of the lower-level generals and force them to obey orders.
At this time, a primary school student knocked on the door and came in. He walked up to Chen Mingsheng and whispered a few words before leaving in a hurry.
"What happened?" Li Pu raised his tired and bloated eyes and looked at Chen Mingsheng and asked.
"Two Longque Army soldiers escaped from Shaozhou and sneaked into Yanling Port to pick up their children. They were discovered by the soldiers patrolling the camp." Chen Mingsheng did not realize how serious this problem was for a while, but no matter what
He said that they would also detain the deserters from Shaozhou and impose military punishment on them, and it was impossible for two or three deserters to further disturb the morale of the army here. He said, "I ordered people to imprison them. What do you think, Lord Marquis?"
Disposal?"
"Fleeing before the battle will be punished according to military law, you should be executed!" Li Pu frowned, and after a while he said resolutely and ruthlessly. He realized that there were deserters coming, and there might be more and more in the next few days.
The fugitive soldiers sneaked back from Shaozhou, Hengzhou, Tanzhou and Yueyang. If he didn't have thunderous means, things would become more complicated and more difficult.
"These two people fled back to Jinling to protect the family? If so, if they are punished according to military law, the morale of the military will be even more unstable?" Yuan Guowei, who had been silent for a long time, saw that Li Pu was about to kill the intruder without any hesitation, and he hurriedly
Advise.
"In emergency situations, extraordinary methods must be used. Only in this way can we barely maintain the morale of the army." Li Pu has experienced countless storms and waves, and his knowledge is still better than that of Yuan Guowei and Chen Mingsheng, so Chen Mingsheng immediately arranged for people to attack Shaozhou's escaped soldiers.
He used torture, and at the same time strengthened the patrol camp outside Yanling Port, saying, "Tomorrow, all the families and dependents of the generals will be moved to Maoshan!"
Yuan Guowei lowered his head in silence, knowing that Li Pu was determined to abandon his family and dependents at this time.
In any case, it is impossible for them to publicly abandon more than 40,000 dependents, otherwise the morale of the military will directly collapse.
The best way is to separate the family members and the three thousand generals first. Then, whether it is through coercion, inducement, or deception, it will be relatively easy to take the three thousand generals to Yueyang alone.
Now, if three thousand generals are ordered to abandon their closest relatives and flee to Yueyang with them, as long as a few are unwilling, it will cause a huge disturbance.
Chen Mingsheng arranged for two Longque soldiers who had escaped from Shaozhou to be tortured according to military law. They continued to stay in the lobby to discuss the details of the westward retreat. It was not known how long it had passed before a faint noise could be heard outside.
After a while, the noise became louder and louder, and it seemed like countless people were rushing towards them.
"what happened?"
Many people in the lobby looked at each other, not knowing what was happening outside.
"Master Marquis, General Chen," at this time, the small school guard camp who was guarding the yard outside rushed in and reported, "Twenty soldiers just broke into the execution ground and wanted to kidnap the two Shaozhou deserters.
, Commander Xue returned with his face bruised and bruised..."
Yuan Guowei was stunned for a long time, but he didn't expect that things would get worse before he could move his family to Maoshan. Only then did he realize that it was already dawn outside, and a whole night had passed since they were discussing things in the lobby. Time really
As fast as a white horse passing through a gap.
"These rebels are about to rebel. I'm so angry!" At this time, a captain with a bruised nose and swollen face came in. His burly breastplate was half torn, and he walked into the lobby in a state of embarrassment and reported to him carefully.
Just now, he led his men to kill the two deserters who had returned from Shaozhou in public to shock people. He never thought that their family members would rush to the execution ground. When he was ordering his men to beat out the escaped soldiers who were causing trouble in the ritual,
The soldiers and their families who were watching, and more people participated in the agitation, so he had to withdraw first, but the fleeing soldiers had been kidnapped.
"What nonsense, Chen Mingsheng, gather all the generals' personal guards immediately!" Li Pu stood up and slapped the case, knowing that at this time he was a little merciful and the whole army would mutiny, so Chen Mingsheng immediately gathered all the generals' personal guards.
, directly suppressing the commotion.
All the generals' guards and horses were near the mansion. Chen Mingsheng went out in person and quickly gathered 300 elite troops. Li Pu, wearing armor and holding a halberd, rode on horseback and personally led 300 elite cavalry to the execution ground where hundreds of rebels and their families were gathering in a restless manner.
Rush over.
Military attachés at all levels were still people from the Xinchang Hou Mansion. Even though the generals suffered heavy casualties due to Chuzhou's calculations, Li Pu's prestige in the army was still there at this time.
Seeing Li Pu coming on horseback wearing armor and holding a halberd, people gathered along the road to watch. The soldiers and families who were hesitant to join in the agitation retreated one after another and made way for the passage to the execution ground.
There was also a battalion commander here who reacted one step ahead and led more than a hundred generals to surround the dozens of generals and their families who were causing trouble in a house with a collapsed courtyard wall, waiting for Li Pu and Chen Mingsheng to come and deal with it.
After coming over and seeing that the situation was under control, Li Pu felt a little relieved. He looked at the general who was controlling the situation with admiration, and then drove his horse to the courtyard wall that collapsed with a huge gap. Although the tiger's eyes were old, their sparkle was still there.
, he slowly glanced at the disorderly soldiers in the yard and the surrounding soldiers and family members, and raised his voice:
"Those who run away from the battle shall be punished by military law and be executed; those who rob the court and stir up chaos in the army shall be executed by military laws. I, Li Pu, am here, and the deserters in the courtyard are in chaos. What else can you say?"
Chen Mingsheng signaled the two teams of archers to come forward and gather in front of the gap in the courtyard wall, preparing to directly shoot the rebel soldiers and family members who were surrounded in the courtyard. He wanted to use this bloody method to break the morale of the army that might collapse at any time.
Barely able to survive.
"Some people say that the Marquis wants to abandon everyone's children again and run away alone. Is this true?"
Someone in the crowd of onlookers finally shouted and asked unwillingly.
Li Pu's face turned gloomy. He could see the deepest doubts in the hearts of many generals in this question. Although he had never stated that he wanted to withdraw, but he was unaware of the military attachés below, so the soldiers would not be suspicious.
After all, the root cause of the disaster was the hasty withdrawal from Qiuhu Mountain last time. Li Pu could not defend himself at all. He did not need to defend himself. He glanced sharply at the place where the voice came from and asked: "Who dares to confuse the public with evil words and disturb the morale of our military?"
A strong man with a strong back and a strong back came out. He would not be a coward. He stood up and said: "I just heard people talking about this, and I just want to ask for an explanation."
However, as soon as he stood up, several burly men on the left and right rushed out like wolves and tigers at Chen Mingsheng's signal, grabbed him, and punched him first, beating him until his nose was black and his eyes were swollen, and he was interrupted several times.
A tooth was spit out with blood, making it difficult for him to speak even a single sentence.
Li Pu said: "If you use evil words to confuse the public and disrupt the morale of our army, you should be executed according to military law."
Hearing what Li Pu said, both sides immediately threw the big man through the gap into the surrounded courtyard.
"Who else dares to confuse the public with evil words? I will execute these deserters on the spot. Who is dissatisfied?" Li Pu stared at the surroundings and asked again. The power of this moment gave him some illusions. It seemed that
Everything is still under his control.
"Master Li!"
At this time, a soft call came from the corner, and the voice was so familiar that Li Pu suspected that he was hallucinating at this moment.
Yuan Guowei's heart trembled at the moment when he saw a familiar figure wearing a gray-white linen robe and walking out of a courtyard.
Han Qian!
Before this, Yuan Guowei could not have imagined that Han Qian was in Runzhou or Yanlingbu at this moment, even if he cut his brain open.
How can it be?
Yuan Guowei subconsciously reached out to wipe his cloudy old eyes, thinking that he was so discouraged and disappointed with the current situation that he was hallucinating.
If Han Qian was not in Xuzhou to pay tribute to Han Daoxun, and even refused to go to Yueyang after returning from Shu, how could he be in Runzhou?
"Han Qian!" Li Pu stared at Han Qian who appeared in Xiaoyan wearing mourning clothes in disbelief, and subconsciously screamed out.
His shout was like thunder striking down, causing all the soldiers and children watching on the left and right to wake up. They all looked towards the door of the courtyard where Han Qian came out. Who was it if it wasn't Han Qian?
From the beginning of the recruitment of hungry people, Han Qian built a workshop in Qiuhu Mountain. While recruiting hungry people to work, he assisted Shen Yang in building the garrison. During the Jingxiang War, Han Qian even visited the city wall more frequently than Yang Yuanpu to ensure that no one
There will be mistakes somewhere.
Although Han Qian did not want to highlight his achievements in guarding Xichuan and quickly reducing the feudal vassalage to avoid arousing jealousy, the ordinary generals of the Longque Army still recognized him in a simple and real way.
What's more, Han Qian also personally controls Jinyun Tower, the core intelligence collection and reconnaissance department of the Dragon Bird Army, Prince Tan's Mansion.
After the wars between Jingxiang and the vassal reduction, the soldiers who were recruited as captured soldiers may still be a little unfamiliar with Han Qian, but who among the generals and children who came from the Taowu Jitunying Military Mansion did not recognize Han Qian?
"It's Lord Han, it's Han who is engaged, it's Han who joins the army!" Everyone cheered, and the sound was so strong that Li Pu's face became gloomy, and he couldn't even ask what Han Qian's intention was when he appeared in Runzhou wearing a mourning robe.
Zhao Wuji and Kong Xirong walked out of the yard with others, wanting to protect Han Qian behind them to prevent Li Pu from jumping over the wall and doing harm to Han Qian.
Han Qian, however, walked towards Li Pu without fear, waving his hands to signal the soldiers and family members on his left and right to quiet down, standing in the morning light, looking at Li Pu, Chen Mingsheng and others said:
"The Marquis of Xinchang, Lipu Pu, and the captain of the guard palace, Chen Mingsheng, was too timid to fight and abandoned Qiuhu Mountain first. As a result, ten thousand of his generals were captured and killed by the rebels of Anning Palace. He was also gullible and incompetent, and used them as bait for Chuzhou.
We lost 4,000 troops and lost the city of Danyang. Your Highness is extremely disappointed with you two, and hereby issued an order to Han Qian to rush to Runzhou, remove your command of the army, take charge of it, and send you back to Yueyang as soon as possible.
Accept the punishment!”
Li Pu's old face turned red. He knew that Han Qian was talking nonsense. For such an important personnel change, even if Han Qian acted quickly, he could not get the news in advance, and it was impossible for Yang Yuanpu not to give Han Qian a handwriting.
Chen Mingsheng was not willing to have his military power taken away by the so-called "oral order" so easily. He held his sword in front of him and asked sternly: "It is a taboo for military officers to change generals before the battle. You did not carry out the order of the Privy Council and did not have the order of His Highness. With that,
What replaces us?”
"Those who believe in me, please head east of the street!" Han Qian ignored Li Pu and Chen Mingsheng's doubts, looked at the generals on the left and right, and said loudly, "Although I am not sure that I will bring everyone out of this predicament, Han Qian
As long as I don’t die, I will never escape first. If I violate this oath, I will be punished by being quartered on five horses!”
Dismemberment by five horses is a word that most people present are unwilling to mention and are strictly prohibited from mentioning, but it is like a bolt of lightning that strikes into the depths of countless people's souls.
Han Daoxun's death was so unjust, even the illiterate low-level generals knew it clearly in their hearts.
"If you believe Master Han, please stand on the east side of the street!"
"If you believe Master Han, please stand on the east side of the street!"
"If you believe Master Han, please stand on the east side of the street!"
Zhao Wuji, Kong Xirong, Wei Chang, Shi Ji and others started shouting impatiently. In the morning light that had not yet fully lit up, the small figures of the generals and family members were still somewhat dark, and they all rushed towards the east side of the street like a tide.
The long street along the river in Zhenbu is wider on the west side facing the river. There are only a few military attaches and generals who came from the Xinchang Hou Mansion. There are even many military attaches and generals. Standing on the long street, their hearts are surging.
Eastern impulse.
"Master Hou, Lao Ning is sorry for you, Master Hou!" A big and angry man walked from the west side of the street to the long street, kowtowed three times to the Marquis of Xinchang, then quickly got up and stood on the east side of the long street.
.
Then more than 20 people stood up and kowtowed to Xinchang Hou Li Pu, and then walked to the east side of the long street.
Li Pu's expression was extremely ugly. He did not expect that the elites he had trained in Xinchang Houfu would betray him at this moment.
Yuan Guowei could see that these people were all grassroots military attachés at the rank of team leader. During the long-term conquests, they had formed a stronger life-and-death relationship with the lower-level generals in blood and fire. Moreover, they were direct descendants of the Xinchang Hou Mansion.
It also became clearer that Li Pu and Chen Mingsheng wanted to give up their family members. They had been struggling and conflicting the most in the past few days. The appearance of Han Qian strengthened their determination to break with the Xinchang Hou Mansion.
This is what people want.
"Master Li, Captain Chen, do you believe it now or not?" Han Qian looked at Xinchanghou Lippu and Chen Mingsheng again and asked.
Li Pu, the Marquis of Xinchang, looked at the sparse bodyguards with less than 200 people left around him, with a gloomy expression on his face.
"Master Li, Mr. Han probably had a hard time restraining his intention to kill you." Yuan Guowei persuaded in a suppressed voice.
Xinchang Hou Li Pu was shocked when he heard this. Although Han Qian's face was calm as if nothing had happened, Kong Xirong, Zhao Wuji and others behind Han Qian were full of murderous intent. He really wanted to continue arguing with Han Qian, forcing Han Qian to
He had to resort to ruthless tactics to seize military power. With less than 200 personal guards behind him, could he break out of the siege?
