The wind rises at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 266
In the central military tent, everyone's eyes were focused on the blood-stained Shang Fang sword.

"Chen Wang, the deputy commander-in-chief of Hanzhong Town, is here to see the governor."

Chen Wang stopped in his tracks, folded his hands and leaned over to salute Chen Xinjia.

Chen Xinjia's expression was solemn, his eyes were full of coldness, and his heart suddenly sank downwards.

The Shang Fang Sword was a gift from the Emperor and was kept in a high pavilion and hidden in a brocade set.

Now the brocade forging is stained with blood...

Chen Xinjia's eyes flashed with light, and his gaze returned to Chen Wang.

At this time, Chen Xinjia discovered that not only was Shang Fangjian's brocade sheath stained with blood stains, but Chen Wang's body and the soldiers who followed Chen Wang into the tent were all stained with dark red blood stains.

Chen Xinjia was in a confused state of mind, and he had no clue at all about the strange scene in front of him.

Not only Chen Xinjia, but also all the generals in the Chinese army tent were at a loss and confused. They also noticed the bloody Shang Fang sword and the bloody soldiers.

Hu Dawei narrowed his eyes slightly and turned his body slightly to stare at Chen Wang, who was covered in blood.

Zuo Guang's eyes flashed first, his expression unchanged, and he scanned the soldiers entering the tent.

Everyone stood still, but among the Qin generals, several generals took a step back involuntarily.

Among King Qin's Qin soldiers and horses, there were many generals who had returned from rogue bandits. Most of them were afraid of Chen Wang.

Among the generals who retreated, there was a tall, handsome general with a mustache that attracted special attention.

Because the general was standing next to Zuo Guangxian at this time, his actions also distracted the attention of the surrounding generals.

That general was none other than Gao Jie, who had worked together with Chen Wangli to disrupt Li Zicheng's intention to go south.

Gao Jie looked at Chen Wang, who was standing not far away. He still remembered the first time he saw Chen Wang.

At that time, Chen Wang was just a thousand-man general, with no more than a thousand soldiers under his command. They were all improvised and gathered remnants of defeated generals.

However, at that time, Chen Wang had already dared to take extraordinary risks and conspired with him to fight. He first showed the enemy weakness and lured the enemy deeper.

Then when the fire company was encamped, he personally led the cavalry into the battle and attacked in all directions, completely reversing the entire battle situation.

During the Chunhua offensive and defensive battle, Chen Wang led his troops to attack several times, all of which ended in great victories. No one in the camp even dared to use his skills, and they all regarded him as the second Cao Bianjiao.

To be honest, facing Chen Wang, no one would be afraid of any bandit, and Gao Jie was naturally afraid too.

However, Gao Jie felt not only fear, but also some gratitude.

Gao Jie knew very well how the Chinese army he was leading came to be in the camp.

If it weren't for Chen Wang in Chunhua, he divided thousands of elite cavalry prisoners to replenish his team. According to the situation of other surrendered bandits, he would have been a commander in chief of thousands in the army at most.

How could it be like now, with thousands of elites, rising to the rank of battalion officer?

To be honest, Chen Wang can be regarded as his benefactor.

After all, he had gone through a bloody battle on the battlefield. After a brief period of fright, Gao Jie had come to his senses and returned to normalcy.

And the doubts in his heart were quickly answered.

Chen Wang withdrew his saluting hands, and pressed the Yanling knife on his waist with one hand again. The other hand did not take it back, but stretched it slightly forward.

Chen Gong, who was standing beside Chen Wang, saw Chen Wang's hand reaching forward. He immediately took three steps forward, then moved his body slightly forward and lifted up the brocade box he was holding in his hand.

Only then did Chen Xinjia and the generals in the tent notice that there was a brocade box being held.

Previously, all of their attention had been attracted by the Shang Fangjian being held in his arms, as well as the blood stains on Chen Wang's body.

After seeing everyone's eyes focused on the brocade box, Chen Wang also took a step forward.

His hawk-like eyes swept over everyone, and then Chen Wang took a military order from the military academy on the side, held it in his hand, and spoke in a solemn voice.

"According to the order of Governor Sun, I exercise the authority of Shang Fangjian. If anyone in the army violates the order, kill him first and then report him!"

"Chen Guowei, the commander-in-chief of the Third Tun Battalion, escaped before the battle, causing the loss of Qingshan Pass, and indulged the slaves to break the siege. His crime is unpardonable and he has been punished!"

When Chen Wang finished speaking, it was like a big stone falling from the sky into a calm pool, causing thousands of waves in an instant.

Everyone is in an uproar!

Chen Xinjia's heart was shaken, and he even took several steps back before regaining his balance due to fear.

The expressions of all the generals in the tent suddenly changed and they were in a state of confusion. Many generals subconsciously clenched the swords hanging at their waists.

"In the brocade box, what is in full bloom is the head of Chen Guowei, the commander-in-chief of the Santun Battalion!"

Chen Gong slowly raised the brocade box in his hand and showed it to the generals in the tent. The lid of the brocade box had already been opened by the soldiers on the left and right.

In the brocade box, there is a head with messy beard and hair, green face and fierce face.

All the generals in the tent were all battalion generals. Naturally, they had all seen Chen Guowei himself when they gathered the troops.

The head placed in the brocade box is not Chen Guowei, who else could it be? !

Chen Guowei in the brocade box has a pair of round tiger eyes, full of disbelief.

"Chen Guowei resisted law enforcement and disobeyed military orders. His generals joined the rebellion and have been surrendered."

"There are a total of 170 rebels and rebels, and all of them have marched to the law."

The generals in the tent and Chen Xinjia also understood at this time why there were blood stains on Chen Wang's body and the bodies of the soldiers nearby.

Chen Wang has now brought his rebellion away with just a single word, but the danger inside is probably unimaginable.

170 The three heads followed Chen Guowei to the ground. I am afraid that all the servants under Chen Guowei were killed.

Everyone's eyes changed again, and there was a hint of fear in the eyes looking at Chen Wang.

Chen Wang held the military order and took another step forward. He looked up at Chen Xinjia and said loudly.

"Supervisor Sun said that the military laws are not good and it is difficult to manage the army. The rewards and punishments are unclear and it is not enough to convince the people."

"In an emergency, extraordinary measures should be taken. I am killing Chen Guowei now not because I want to kill the generals, but because I want to let the soldiers and people everywhere know about my indignation, so that the generals in the towns and camps know my intention to win decisively!"

Chen Wang held the military order in his hands and spoke in a lower voice to Chen Xinjia, who was standing at the head.

"The main force of the slave establishment has moved to Qingshan Pass, intending to exit the customs through Qingshan Pass and return to Liao with the plundered gold and silver property of the people."

"Governor Sun has led the army to march all the way to Qingshan Pass. I ask Governor Chen to lead the troops to gather to help fight, fight to the death with the enemy, and save our people from hanging upside down."

The atmosphere in the military tent became more and more terrifying as Chen Wang's words fell.

When Chen Wang finished speaking, you could almost hear a pin drop in the big tent, and there was no sound at all.

It wasn't until the soldier standing under the head seat stepped forward and took the military order from Chen Wang's hand that the dull atmosphere in the tent was broken.

Chen Xinjia was in a confused mood. The military order presented by the soldier was as light as a feather, but he felt as if it was extremely heavy.

Chen Xinjia never thought that Sun Chuanting would issue an order to kill Chen Guowei.

The last person who was good at killing general soldiers with Shang Fangjian was Yuan Chonghuan.

Everyone knows what Yuan Chonghuan's fate will be.

Sent to jail or executed in Lingchi!
Sun Chuanting now dared to risk such disgrace, and once again beheaded the commander-in-chief of a town with Shang Fangjian. He was good at killing generals without orders, exercising the right to kill first and report later.Shang Fangjian does have the right to kill first and then report, but many things are stipulated by underlying rules.

Everyone knows that culture should be valued over military force. This is the strategy set by the imperial court to control military force with culture.

But after all, Chen Guowei was the commander-in-chief of the town and the pinnacle of military attachés.

He deserves to die, he can die on the battlefield, in a mutiny, in prison, or under the executioner's knife.

But he is the only one who should not die under Shang Fang's sword...

Originally, many of the effects of Yuan Chonghuan's killing of Mao Wenlong had been eliminated through long-term efforts, but Sun Chuanting's move made all previous efforts in vain, and even made the situation worse. Even worse.

Chen Xinjia's body swayed, but at the last moment, he stabilized his body.

Standing on the first seat, Chen Xinjia could have a condescending view of the expressions and postures of the generals in the tent.

Chen Guowei's death caused everyone to fall into silence, and they have not come back to their senses until now.

As the commander-in-chief of a town, he was not found guilty by the court, but was killed by the governor with the power of Shang Fangjian.

This matter will not disappear with Chen Guowei's death. Although the situation is calm now, everyone is silent.

But Chen Xinjia now knows very well that this matter will continue to ferment and spread in the future, the gap between civil and military forces will further widen, and the scales will become increasingly unbalanced.

but……

Sun Chuanting's approach was the best approach at this moment.

Let the soldiers and civilians everywhere understand my indignation, and let the generals in the towns and camps know my intention for decisive victory...

Sun Chuanting didn't know what it meant to kill a general without authorization and what kind of impact it would have, but he still killed him.

While his mind was wandering, Chen Xinjia already understood why Sun Chuanting wanted to kill Chen Guowei.

The performance of the generals in the tent had already proved that Chen Guowei's death was effective.

Chen Guowei's death made the generals and commanders in the border town put away the luck in their hearts and put away the old belief that as long as they had soldiers under their command, they would not be easily executed.

The death of Chen Guowei is the best proof.

Sun Chuanting came and everything changed.

Chen Xinjia could already predict what kind of huge waves this news would stir up when it reached Zunhua.

After Chen Guowei's death is reported, the whole Jiliao will be shaken by it.

And when Sun Chuanting's military order arrives, no one in the various camps and towns in Jiliao will dare to disobey the order.

Sun Chuanting ordered Chen Guowei to be killed, which indeed made all the camp generals in the towns understand his intention to win.

For the upcoming battle of Qingshan Pass, Sun Chuanting put pressure on his official career and almost everything he had.

Chen Xinjia held the military order in his hand tightly, and for some reason he suddenly felt that what he had always believed in was wrong.

Is negotiating peace really the right path?

Is peace negotiation really the only way?

First there was Lu Xiangsheng, and then there was Sun Chuanting.

In the battle of Jiazhuang, Lu Xiangsheng was seriously injured and dying.

As time goes by, unknown things are revealed in front of everyone's eyes.

Countless problems were placed in front of Lu Xiangsheng, and countless difficulties stood in front of Lu Xiangsheng.

The scenes of the elders of the three mansions passed by were full of devastation, and they walked through broken mountains and rivers along the way.

When he was in the capital, facing the battle reports coming from the front line, Chen Xinjia couldn't understand why every letter submitted by Lu Xiangsheng was full of desperate grief and anger, with no regard for the overall situation.

All the way north from the capital, what he saw along the way made Chen Xinjia understand everything.

The newspapers that recorded the number of casualties were all about living people.

As soon as the military flag moved, thousands of troops moved forward.

As soon as the war drums sounded, everyone fell into battle.

He now understands Lu Xiangsheng and understands Lu Xiangsheng.

Now Lu Xiangsheng has gone down, but Sun Chuanting has stepped up again.

Lu Xiangsheng was taciturn, while Sun Chuanting showed his sharp edge.

It's just that Sun Chuanting had always written a letter saying that he was cautious in fighting, heavily fortified, and waiting for opportunities.

But now, he has embarked on the same path as Lu Xiangsheng - gathering troops from various towns to defeat Jiannu.

Chen Xinjia didn't understand what happened along the way that caused Sun Chuanting's thoughts to change so drastically.

Holding the military order in hand, Chen Xinjia raised his eyes and looked at the generals in the tent, and at Chen Wang whose armor was stained with blood.

Sun Chuanting had the authority to oversee King Qin's troops and horses. This was the authority given to him by the emperor.

Sun Chuanting had now made a decision. He issued a military order and killed Chen Guowei in order to deter the three armies and kill chickens to scare monkeys.

There was no turning back when he opened the bow, but Sun Chuanting had already drawn the bowstring.

Chen Xinjia understood that all the decisions now had nothing to do with him. Even if he no longer wanted to fight this battle, he still had to fight it.

The torrent of the current situation is rolling forward, and the wheel of the general trend never stops. He can only follow this wave and rush forward...

Chen Xinjia clenched his fists and the sword at his waist.

In the first year of Chongzhen, he entered the court as a member of the Ministry of Punishment, Wailang, and became a doctor in the Ministry of Punishment. Later, he moved to Ningqian to prepare for military affairs.

Ningqian Road, roughly including Jinzhou, Songshan, Xingshan, Youtun, Daling River and Xiaoling River, is an important area outside Shanhaiguan.

They were defeated all the way, lost all the way, and fled all the way. No matter how many times the slaves burned, killed, looted, and showed off their power, they could only hide in the city and be like cowards.

How willing he is and how there is no anger in his heart.

The country is exhausted, riddled with wounds, and the surrounding affairs are difficult, but it is actually bullied by Xiao Xiaolu's slaves? !

Chilling murderous intent flowed in Chen Xinjia's eyes.

Everyone felt that Chen Xinjia's momentum had changed.

He does not look like the elegant civil servant he once was, but like a warrior who has experienced hundreds of battles.

Chen Xinjia's face was as dark as water, and he walked down the first seat step by step.

Facing everyone's gaze, Chen Xinjia held his sword and his sharp eyes slowly swept over the generals in the military tent.

Chen Xinjia's voice was impassioned and impassioned, slowly ringing out in the large Chinese military tent.

"Beat the drums to gather troops, understand the three armies, and march into Qingshan Pass!"

"Save my people from water and fire, save my people from hanging upside down!"
