Xue Huaiyi's death did not have much impact on the entire Daibei Army. After all, he, the so-called marching chief, has a low sense of existence in the army. The military affairs commissioned several marching chiefs to do their own business, and they were both life and death, and for most soldiers, they did not have much interest.

Of course, this is just on the surface. No one can tell what the soldiers of each battalion felt clearly. Even if Xue Huaiyi was dispensable, he was the marching chief executive who was officially appointed by the court. After all, he was suddenly executed like this, which was more or less suspicious.

The generals such as Qibi Ming are now trying their best to restrain the troops through the battalion and try their best to prevent any signs of conspiracy in the army. Although they each have a certain number of confidant soldiers, the proportion is very small compared to the entire army.

Therefore, after eliminating Xue Huaiyi, they also needed a person like Wu Youyi to control the entire army in name in order to barely control the situation. However, before the senior generals at the level of the general manager reached a consensus, they no longer dared to let the army go rashly, worried that uncontrollable variables might occur during the march.

Therefore, the entire army can only stay in the northern area of ​​Bingzhou for the time being. The only thing that is thankful is that the imperial court has not conquered each time in the past few years, either Shuofang or Daibei. Bingzhou has been the advance base of the army several times, so it naturally has some supporting infrastructure, such as camps and pastoral areas, so that the army will not sleep in the wilderness.

However, without Xue Huaiyi, the nominal commander, Wu Youyi himself did not have a strong influence on the Daibei Army. In addition, the news of the Shendu coup had spread among the senior generals, which made the army lose a unified constraint. Manager Zhu was also filled with confusion.

Nowadays, the army is divided into several factions. The former subordinates of the Shanyu Protectorate Office led by Qibi Ming and also the Li Duozuo army. A total of nearly 10,000 people are considered the chief general of the Line with the largest number of troops.

But this is also based on the premise that the entire military command system has not yet collapsed. Once the morale of the army collapses, the battalion soldiers and commanders will no longer be subject to military orders, and at least Li Duozuo's subordinates will no longer be controlled by Qi Bi Ming.

Cao Ren's army supported the central army, and although the number of troops was not large, only more than 3,000. However, these more than 3,000 were all composed of the Southern Imperial Army. Whether in terms of combat effectiveness or obedience, they were the leaders of the camps and the backbone of the entire army.

According to the general system of the Tang Dynasty's combat army, a certain proportion of the palace soldiers were usually used as the core, and then the regiment trained athletes and the Hu servants, thus forming a large army.

For example, in the early days of Zhenguan and Emperor Gaozong, most of the foreign military use were brilliant achievements of over tens of thousands or even tens of thousands. This is the reason. As the essence of the Tang Dynasty, the government soldiers were the first-class strong army in the world and the core force that was able to sweep away the barbarians since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

However, for this reason, although Cao Ren's army controls such an elite force, it does not mean that he can divide this army into his own private individuals.

The prerequisite for him to command the army was that he was the general marching officer appointed by the court. If he dared to issue any orders that obviously disobey the court, the morale of the army would not be attached, and perhaps even one of the other generals in the camp would dare to cut him directly.

The other side is Su Honghui. Su Honghui directly commanded not many soldiers, only one army with more than 3,000 new recruits, and his combat effectiveness is not high.

But Su Honghui's advantage is that he was born into a general. As the clan of the famous general Su Dingfang, he has relatives and friends in both the court, the military and political circles.

Moreover, this time, Su Honghui himself assumed part of the marching commander and the marching commander of the North Road. Xue Huaiyi, the marching commander, was useless. Most of the battalions were handled by Su Honghui and maintained good interactions with most marching commanders.

Strictly speaking, Su Honghui was the most powerful general in the army after Xue Huaiyi's death. Xue Huaiyi's death did not cause too much turmoil in the army, and it was mainly due to Su Honghui's rushing to camp to restrain the soldiers. As long as he could make a brave statement, most of the marching generals and middle-level generals would tend to obey Su Honghui's orders.

However, Su Honghui's personality was not strong enough, and he had no ability to deal with drastic changes, and was even afraid to take responsibility. After completing the basic constraint camp, he directly returned to his own ranks.

Of course, Su Honghui's retreat was quite a bit fearless. Nowadays, no one in the army can fully control the situation with a shout. Even if someone is relatively powerful and dares to directly kill Xue Huaiyi, he may not dare to harm him.

Even if there were any changes in the court, Su Honghui had many relatives and support in the court, and there was no need to advance in such sensitive situations to seek performance.

In this way, a relative balance that restricts each other was temporarily reached in the Daibei Camp, but the result of this balance was that the entire army was in a stalemate and could not advance or retreat.

Of course, this state cannot be maintained for a long time, and small variables occur at every moment. The most important variable is that the news of a coup in Shendu is scattering into the army through various channels.

As the news channels become more and more, the entire coup process is outlined and clearer. On the one hand, the general managers were full of surprise, and on the other hand, they were blocking the news with great understanding, and did not dare to spread to the middle and lower levels of camps.

But the so-called "prevention of the people" is more important than the defense of rivers. How can such a shocking event be concealed for a long time? As the news sinks more and more, more and more people in charge, the situation will become more uncontrollable.

"How is it? Will General Manager Su be willing to join the camp and discuss in detail?"

In the central army's tent, seeing Qi Biming and Cao Ren's troops entering, Wu Youyi came forward and asked impatiently.

Although he has successfully killed Xue Huaiyi, he has been suspicious of Qi Biming because of his deliberate concealment of the news and dared not make any plans. Although he is now in the central army tent, he is under house arrest and has no contact with military affairs at all. He is extremely worried about his own safety.

Seeing the two of them shaking their heads silently, Wu Youyi couldn't help but stomp his feet and cursed: "Su Honghui, this dog thief, is so brave! He has no responsibility at all, just seeks to protect himself, and has no regard for the news. Once the news spreads, the army will become a boiling hot water. It's really hateful!"

Qi Biming and Cao Renshi looked at each other and saw anger and worry in their own eyes. Su Honghui couldn't hide and was unwilling to discuss the future plan with them. Wu Youyi did scold them.

But the question is, where did Wu Youyi get the face to scold Su Honghui? If it weren't for his deliberate concealing such important news before planning, it would be difficult for Qi Biming and others to conspire with him, and the situation in the army would not have been alienated like this.

Now Su Honghui is unwilling to come forward to discuss major events. Although Qi Zhuming and Cao Ren's army have strong power, they dare not use force to control the entire army. Once the current stalemate is broken and the news is completely leaked, then whoever moves first will die first.

After a few people discussed it, there was no mature strategy, so Qi Bi Ming left the Central Army tent with great worries and prepared to return to the headquarters camp.

But when he left the Zhongjun camp, his confidant general suddenly entered the front and whispered: "Report to the general, while waiting outside, I heard that the general privately discussed the reason why the general had conspired with King Jian'an to kill Xue Huaiyi to surrender to the Turks..."

After hearing this, Qi Biming immediately gasped, and then felt even colder in his hands and feet. He knew that if the rumors spread out, they would be enough to kill him!

He subconsciously prepared to return to the central army and wanted to discuss the matter with Cao Renzhi, but after taking a few steps, he suddenly paused. Although he had a tacit understanding with Cao Renzhi, he definitely could not reach the level of entrusting his life. He didn't know how to convince Cao Renzhi that he had no intention of escaping. If he turned back, he would be afraid of falling into the trap.

Qi Bi Ming naturally had no intention of fleeing. Although he was born in a foreign tribe, his ancestors had already attached themselves to him. Both father and son married daughters of the Li Tang royal family. He regarded himself as a Tang man in his bones. He had long been used to living in both capitals. How could he want to return to the subway to live a life of no fixed place, eating raw meat and drinking blood!

What's more, the Shendu coup had little impact on him. After the political reign of the Li Tang Dynasty, he might even be more reused by his identity as a relative of the foreign country. It was simply nonsense to say that he planned to flee to the Turks!

But on the one hand, how to win the trust of others in such a sensitive situation, is the other hand. Rumors tied him and Wu Youyi together, and there was a deed of killing Xue Huaiyi. In the eyes of some outsiders, there may not be no such possibility!

After thinking about it, Qi Biming realized that he was too active recently and commanded the most military personnel, which caused some hostility and malicious targeting.

But realizing this, Qi Biming had no good way to deal with it. The malicious targeting person may be worried that it would anger him directly, so he could still restrain himself when spreading rumors and spread them in the central army with higher obedience. But if he really dared to react in an extreme way, the rumors might be known to the entire army in a flash.

Qi Bi Ming returned to the headquarters camp with great worries all the way, first summoned some of his confidants and arranged them around his camp. He ordered the entire camp to be on guard, and all the soldiers were not allowed to communicate with the outside world.

But he knew that just blocking the entire battalion was just waiting to die, and he had to save himself! It was impossible to escape. Not to mention that he was reluctant to give up everything he had now, even if he had such a thought, his soldiers would never follow him in such a gangster.

At present, all kinds of news are still privately spreading, and Qi Biming also realized that if he wants to survive and even maintain his existing power, he must have a deep connection with the powerful figures in the court.

Royal Heir?

The kings of the Wu clan were killed and the imperial heir left the palace to supervise the country. They were undoubtedly the biggest winners of the coup in Shendu City.

But Qi Bi Ming quickly denied this idea. First, he had no close contact with the emperor's soul, and suddenly he made such a claim that he might not be able to win the trust of others. Second, as the biggest winner of the Shendu coup, there must be many general managers in the army who are already interested in the emperor's soul. The secretly spreading rumors may be this group of people, who want to use this to divide his military power.

King Yong!

King Yong was young Zongzhi and one of the hosts of the Shendu coup. He dared to do such a dangerous battle. It shows that King Yong was ambition to be strong. Moreover, although King Yong was a very successful man, his foundation was still shallow. If he showed goodwill to King Yong first, King Yong would not turn a blind eye to him.

Even if the power of King Yong cannot affect Daibei, far away in Bingzhou, this army will eventually return to Shendu. As long as he can grit his teeth and claim that he has a close relationship with King Yong, other general managers will not dare to deal with him!

For example, Wu Youyi was surrounded by the ambush in the tent by Qi Bi Ming. When his life was threatened, he subconsciously shouted out that he was also named King Yong. Since rumors also tied him and Wu Youyi together, and he really couldn't explain it clearly, so it would be better to just say the same thing and move closer to King Yong!

Qi Bi Ming had just made such a decision, and suddenly his general rushed into the tent and reported: "General, the envoy of the court has arrived outside the camp!"
Chapter completed!
