Ma Chao slowly walked down the steps with his hands on his back, as if he didn't see the soldiers in front of him, and he just walked forward like this.
When he walked to Yang Zhi, he seemed not to see him and continued to move forward. Yang Zhi looked back at the soldier in despair, silently turned around and made half a step away, bent his knees and fell to the ground.
When Yang Zhi knelt down, dozens of generals behind him all knelt down.
Ma Chao continued to move forward. Wherever he went, the soldiers of the border soldiers knelt down one after another, like cut leeks. Ma Chao walked from one end to the other, and then slowly walked back.
At this moment, he finally realized why before Li Zhi died, he told him that the Qin Dynasty was still from the Ma family, not the Deng family, and the army was divided into factions, but in front of the royal family, ordinary soldiers still dominated the Ma family. This concept has penetrated into the bones of the Qin soldiers for more than a hundred years.
Of course, this is also the consequence of Li Zhi's persistence over the past decades. Although he was dead, the legacy left to the Ma Daqin was still rich.
At this moment, Ma Chao realized what authority is and what it means to be under the world, is it a king's minister?
Ma Chao, who walked back, stood in front of Yang Zhi and leaned over to look at him.
"Yang Zhi, what else do you have to say?" he asked coldly.
Yang Zhi looked up and looked at Ma Chao: "Your Highness, this is also a helpless move. General Bian is incompetent in command..."
"So you mutinied in front of the formation and forced the commander to seize power and resign, right?" Ma Chao cut off his words without waiting for him to finish his words: "No matter whether General Bian is incompetent in command in this war, the Lone King just wants to ask you one thing. If one day, you think that His Majesty the Emperor is incompetent, will you lead troops straight to Yongdu and force the emperor to step down and replace him!"
Yang Zhihan was raining, "I dare not, I have never thought so."
"If General Bian is inappropriate in command, there is the Ministry of War, the King of Kaiping, the King of Own, and His Majesty the Emperor, he is incompetent and will be dealt with by the court. When will it be your turn to act without authorization and force the commander? Tell me, who gave you the courage?" Ma Chao shouted angrily.
Yang Zhi closed his eyes in despair and swallowed with difficulty, "No one gives me courage. Everything is up to me."
In fact, Ma Chao was really worried that Yang Zhi would shout out loudly regardless of everything. This was what King Kaiping meant. When he heard Yang Zhi reply, the stone he mentioned in his heart finally fell to the ground.
This Yang Zhi is stupid, but he is not stupid enough.
The sound of drums sounded in the old camp. The soldiers who had not left the camp were now fully armed and teams of people drove out of the barracks. Under the command of Jin Shoude, they inserted and divided the soldiers involved in the mutiny one by one. Jin Shoude held the Prince's Jin Bi's order arrow and strode over. He knelt in front of Ma Chao, presented the order arrow with both hands, and shouted: "Report to the Prince's Highness, Jin Shoude was ordered to dispatch troops to quell the rebellion. Now each unit has taken its own position and returned the order arrows."
Ma Chao waved his hand, "Instruct the arrows, command the various departments, take their place. Without the order of the Lone King, no one can move without any move."
"As for the order!" Jin Shoude stood up, held up the arrow, and slowly retreated.
Ma Chao turned around and looked at Yang Zhi.
"A mutiny in front of the formation, the soldiers forced the commander to do so. Do you know what crime this is and what kind of punishment should be received?"
Yang Zhi sighed: "I know."
"Just know, what else do you have to say?" Ma Chao asked.
Yang Zhi kowtowed heavily, and when he lifted it up, blood was pouring on his forehead: "Your Highness, all the matters are planned by Yang Zhi, and he asked Your Highness to let go of others."
Ma Chao said coldly: "I believe these soldiers were deceived by you and did not know what they were doing, but do you dare to say that these generals behind you are innocent? They know nothing about what they are doing?"
Yang Zhi was speechless.
"The Lone King will not implicate the innocent, nor will he let the initiator and his accomplices go."
Yang Zhi lowered his head dejectedly, "Your Highness, please remember that Yang Zhi had been fighting for the country for nearly twenty years, and his body was covered with scars. He was not guilty of his family and gave them a way out."
"The court has its own laws."
Hearing Ma Chao say this, Yang Zhi was a little desperate and kowtowed hard again: "Please give me a decent way to die."
"What is decent?" Ma Chao asked.
Behind him, Bian Wushuang took a step forward, "Your Highness, I have something to say."
Ma Chao was a little surprised, "General Bian said anything if he had anything to say."
"Although Yang Zhi committed a serious crime, as he said, he has also fought for the country for twenty years, his body is covered with scars, and it is not too much to ask for a decent way of death."
"In accordance with General Bian's opinion, what should we do?" Ma Chao asked.
Bian Wushuang walked up to Yang Zhi and looked at the other party with some pity, "Yang Zhi, each person gives you a horse and a knife. Tomorrow, you should go to the battlefield. Death under the sword and arrow of the Chu army is better than death under the sword of the Qin Dynasty. After you die, Bian will still report to the court for death in battle. So, can you feel at ease?"
Yang Zhi looked up and looked at Bian Wushuang. The expression on his face was very complicated, puzzled and grateful. Bian Wushuang's actions were equivalent to erasing his behavior of leading troops to the palace today, and his family would still enjoy the treatment of the general's wife and the remaining relatives who died in battle.
"Thank you General Bian for being generous and Yang Zhi is willing."
Behind him, dozens of generals involved in the palace had known that they would have lost their fortunes today. Such a way of dying was considered a good thing. They kowtowed one by one: "I am willing to die."
At this time, Ma Chao finally understood that if he had to deal with it according to the law and pursue it, he would be afraid that he would eventually implicate the King of Kaiping Deng Hong, and that would cause an uproar. Since Yang Zhi would not confess Deng Hong, then this would be the best way to deal with it like this. If the damn person dies, the matter will be settled. This will be the greatest comfort to the entire army and the court.
After looking at Bian Wushuang, Ma Chao suddenly felt that in some aspects, he was still much worse than these old foxes in the court.
On the city wall, Bian Wenzhong let out a long sigh. Until this time, he felt that his whole body was wet. Before he knew it, his underwear had been soaked in sweat. Around him, the generals of the Thunder Army were cheering, while the generals of the border army were relieved, while some were sweating profusely. Today, Bian Wenzhong took them to the city wall, and in a certain way, it really saved their lives.
The mutiny soldiers returned to the camp dejectedly, while a group of generals led by Yang Zhi were detained in the Central Army camp. Tonight will be their last night in this world. Bian Wushuang did not treat them badly, and a sumptuous banquet was sent to the place where they were imprisoned.
In a corner of the city wall, an arrow shot towards a forest. After a moment, a man appeared like a ghost, pulled up the feather arrow from the ground, took off a small bamboo tube on it, and then disappeared into the night like a ghost.
At the same time, in another corner, the same feather arrow shot into the darkness, and the attached objects on the arrow were taken away. Two ghostly figures also obtained news from the city, but the direction was different. One ran towards the Chu army camp, and the other ran towards General Mountain.
Dai Shulun held a note that was only one finger wide in his hand, but he looked at it for half a quarter of an hour. He could hardly believe his eyes. Prince Ma Chao actually appeared in Zhaoyingxia Camp. Shouldn't he be recuperating in the palace at this moment? With a roll of his fingers, he held the note in the palm of his hand, and his nails were almost embedded in the flesh.
They were all deceived. Everything fell ill was a trick to deceive them. The prince was seriously ill and closed the palace to recuperate. He had arrived in Qingtian County before himself, hid in Bian Wushuang's army, and was reluctant to show up. He waited until Yang Zhi took action, and then appeared and suppressed the army in one fell swoop.
Ma Chao's move was undoubtedly to eliminate all subordinates of the Deng family in the southern border army. At this point, the southern border army finally had no relationship with the Deng family.
In this confrontation, they lost neatly and the other party won without any delay. I was afraid that since Yang Zhi took the initiative to give up Jingjingguan, Bian Wushuang began to plan this matter. In terms of such conspiracies, whether it is Kaiping King or himself, they are obviously far from Bian Wushuang's opponent.
He walked away from the camp where he was living in a little lonely.
"Mr. Dai." One of them followed.
"I inform my brothers and leave General Mountain immediately. At dawn, I am afraid I won't be able to leave!" Dai Shulun sighed.
In the Chu army camp, An Ruhai also received a secret letter. After reading the contents of the letter, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It's all gone, go back and have a good sleep. Tomorrow, I'm going to have a real battle with the Qin army. This is also our last battle."
"General!" Suqian looked at An Ruhai inquiringly.
After raising the note in his hand, An Ruhai said: "Crown Prince Ma Chao has long been hiding in Bian Wushuang's army. Yang Zhi's mutiny has just begun and ended. Dozens of generals who participated in the mutiny, led by Yang Zhi, were arrested. Deng's last power in the southern border army was uprooted."
"How did the general say there is a real battle tomorrow?"
"Because the Qin people need a real battle to boost morale and also to vent the depression in their hearts, Prince Ma Chao needs to use a real battle to show his correctness. Don't think that if the Qin army lacks dozens of generals, tomorrow's battle will be easy. The lament soldiers, they have truly become a group of lament soldiers."
"But why is the last one?"
"It's very simple. The Qin army needs a battle, but it's just a battle. Over time, their blood will be gone. If they lose the cover of veteran generals like Yang Zhi, they will appear. As for us, the supply line is too long, and it is impossible for us to stay stalemate with them here for a long time. So after tomorrow's battle, everyone will sit down and have a good talk."
"Since we're going to talk sooner or later, what else can we fight?"
An Ruhai laughed: "If you don't fight, how can you talk about it? Because if you don't fight, Ma Chao still has fantasies. I, An Ruhai, also have fantasies. Maybe you can defeat your opponent in one battle?" Mobile phone users please browse m to read for a better reading experience.
