high official

Chapter 713 Infighting
In the big tent of Fangshan, all the generals watched His Highness King Han's face turn red and turn pale, fearing to disturb his thoughts, they all dared not take a breath.

Finally, the King of Han responded to the growing uneasiness in his heart, and he ordered in a deep voice:

"The army is divided into two halves, and the other half is under the command of Lao Song. Stop the Prince's army and block their way back to Beijing." After a pause, the King of Han ordered: "The other half, go back to Beijing immediately with Gu!"

"My lord, if this happens, the troops outside the city may not be enough!" Song Hu said with some concern, "Originally we have ten guards from the former military governor's mansion and seven guards from the rear military governor's mansion. Take Gu Xingzu After that, he took control of the eight guards and horses of the Governor's Mansion of the Left Army, plus the three guards and horses of the prince, a total of 15 soldiers and horses." After a pause, he said: "The other party has the vanguard of the Governor's Mansion, and the five guards and horses of the Governor's Mansion of the Right Army. Including the seven guards and horses of the Chinese military governor's mansion, we have a total of [-] soldiers and horses. Our troops are twice as large as theirs. If there is a saying in the art of war, we will fight twice. It is no problem to block their way back to Beijing. But If the prince withdraws half of the troops, the two sides will be evenly matched, and there will be a big change here..."

The Five Army Commanders' Mansion is in charge of the army in the Beijing Guards and the troops of the provinces, but the soldiers and horses of the provinces are too far away to quench their thirst. Only the Guards in the capital can affect the battle situation in the capital.However, the military strength of each government was uneven. Emperor Yongle went to Beijing and removed a dozen or so guards and horses from each government, which further caused the disparity in the military strength of each government.

Among them, Xue Lu's right army governor's mansion lost the most blood.Yang Wuhou acted as the governor of the line and accompanied the emperor to Beijing. Naturally, most of his subordinates were transferred, and only half of them were left for Zhang Yong to take care of.As for Li Maofang's former military governor's mansion, all the guards and horses were transferred away... At that time, Li Maofang was still depressed for a long time, thinking that this was a sign that the emperor did not trust him.But who would have thought that at this moment it would become one's own advantage... What a blessing, a disaster depends on it, and a disaster, a blessing depends on it!

"Master Hou, the general thinks that the account cannot be calculated in this way." Without the king of Han speaking, Wang Bin retorted: "It is true that Zhang Yong and Wang Ning are the commanders of the right army and the central army, but they are all commanders and envoys to their subordinates. control is very problematic."

After speaking, Wang Bin looked at Song Hu and saw that he was listening, and then continued: "The most obvious example is that just now, more than half of the officers from the two Dudu's Mansions came up the mountain, and they all signed their names. After receiving the order, I think the troops of these people will still obey our orders."

"What Lao Wang said is that Wang Ning eats fast and recites Buddha all day long these years, and can't go to the military camp twice a year. There are not a few soldiers under his command who have been pulled over by us." Li Maofang continued: "As for Zhang Yong, he is basically an agent. Yes, no one convinced him, and we have pulled many people over these days. The prince left half of his troops, which is enough!"

"You still can't be careless..." Song Hu frowned.

"Old Song, haven't you figured it out yet?" Zhu Gaoxu put his hand on Song Hu's shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Fangshan's plan has failed, and now the capital is the winner. The layout is all here, so I must take people back immediately to deal with the worst possible situation!"

"Besides, it's unlikely to kill you here." Zhu Gaoxu comforted: "At best, it's just a high-intensity confrontation. In this case, as long as you block their way, can they still fly over?"

"Yes." After the prince said so, Song Hu had no choice but to nod.

"The three guards of the king, and the ten guards and horses under the jurisdiction of the former military governor's mansion, set off immediately!" Seeing Song Hu accepting the order, the King of Han ordered in a deep voice.

"Here!" The generals who received the order were very excited. They knew that once they were done, their contribution would be higher than that of the other half, especially Li Maofang, who almost jumped up excitedly.

.

The cronies of the King of Han on Fangshan have already given it their all, but internal strife broke out to varying degrees among the armies of Fangshan...

Five miles south of Fangshan Mountain is the commander's tent of the Governor's Mansion of the Right Army.
Most of the troops under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Mansion of the Right Army accompanied the emperor on the northern tour, leaving only the Tiger Ben Right Guard, Left Guard Right Guard, Water Army Right Guard, Wu Dewei, and Guangwu Guard Five Guards.Among the six senior officers, Cheng Yuan was the commander, Xin Keshun was the commander of the Right Guard of the Tiger Ben, Qian Yi was the commander of the Right Guard of the Water Army, and Feng Ligong was the commander of the Wu Dewei. The king of Han didn't win well, so he just went to Fangshan, signed his name and took his order.

The King of Han gave them four orders, asking Cheng Yuan to first try to control the authority of the Governor's Mansion of the Right Army. If he failed, he would lead the Tiger Ben Right Guard, the Water Army Right Guard, and Wu Dewei to join the King of Han's army and obey the Marquis of Xining's dispatch.

On Cheng Yuan's side, he naturally wanted to control the Governor's Mansion of the Right Army.The reason is simple, even if you sell your body, you have to sell it for a good price!Dedicated to the King of Han in the name of the Governor's Mansion of the Right Army, he can sit side by side with the Marquis of Xining and Marquis of Fuyang.But if they just led the three guards to defect, without the banner of the Right Army Governor's Mansion, they would inevitably be divided and absorbed by Song Hu, Li Maofang and others, and their status would plummet.The three commanders are better. Cheng Yuan, who has no direct command of the troops, is completely a poor commander and must be sidelined.

On the way back, Cheng Yuan figured it out, there is a world of difference here and there, so he had to kill Zhang Yong no matter what.Before returning to camp, he discussed with the three commanders, and all three agreed.In order to avoid alarming the enemy, they did not summon their own guards and horses, but only brought their own guards and went straight to the commander's tent of the Chinese army!
Their plan is very simple, rush into the commander's tent, capture Zhang Yong, force him to hand over the commander's seal, and then lead the army to join the King of Han!The plan of the warriors is so simple and rude...

When they entered the middle army camp, they saw that the officers and soldiers in the camp were packing up their luggage leisurely, as if they really thought it was just a routine military exercise... At this moment, a few junior officers came out in a hurry to see When they arrived at Cheng Yuan, they were overjoyed and said: "The general came just in time, and the governor wants me to wait for you."

"What did the governor want us for?" When Cheng Yuan said this, he couldn't help resting his hand on the hilt of his sword.

"The governor received a military order from His Highness the King of Han and wants to discuss with several generals." The officer bowed his head.

"Well, lead the way ahead." Hearing this, Cheng Yuan and the others were relieved a lot, and walked towards the handsome tent pretending to be relaxed.

They are all high-ranking generals of their own mansion, and they are led by the heralds of the Dudu Mansion. Naturally, they are unimpeded. When they came to the periphery of the commander's tent, someone stopped their soldiers... This did not arouse the vigilance of Cheng Yuan and the others. , because this is normal, and it is impossible for the commanders in the world to allow generals and soldiers to enter without permission.

Xin Keshun and Qian Yi looked at Cheng Yuan, meaning, you always have to make up your mind, should we draw a knife to kill someone?
Cheng Yuan shook his head lightly, there is still a few feet away from the commander's tent, if he does it now, it will definitely alarm Zhang Yong inside, and it will be troublesome if he is allowed to escape to the Left Guard or Guangwu Guard.

'Hey, how can you get a tiger cub if you don't enter the tiger's den! Cheng Yuan secretly cheered himself up, saying that with the four of us, a sudden attack can also stop that counselor Zhang Yong.Then there is still time to call for the soldiers... These thoughts are all in the blink of an eye, and there is no room for thinking about this situation, so Cheng Yuan led the three commanders in.

When they got outside the tent, the herald lifted the curtain and said, "Generals, please come in."

The four nodded and filed in.

I saw that in the tent, the tiger-skin commander was vacant.Zhang Yong, two other commanders, and a general with his back turned to them were discussing something around the map.

Zhang Yong was facing the tent door, and when he saw the four of them coming in, he smiled and said, "You are here."

"Captain, this is..." Cheng Yuan and the others didn't bother to salute at all, their eyes fell on the general who turned his back to them.

"Hehe, Uncle Cheng is such a noble man, how forgetful he is." The man turned his head with a strange smile, with a leopard head around his eyes, and a hideous scar around his mouth. If it wasn't Xue Huan, the second son of Xue Lu, Marquis of Yangwu, who was it?
"Ah..." As soon as he saw Xue Huan appearing here, Cheng Yuan immediately became furious, turned around and ran away without thinking, and shouted loudly: "Come here!"

But when they turned around, they were greeted by dense spears, and the entire camp was surrounded by ambushes!And outside the inner encirclement, the soldiers they brought were also surrounded by soldiers in the Chinese army camp.

Those soldiers couldn't believe their eyes, those guys were clearly still packing their bags just now, why did they surround them with full armor in the blink of an eye?
.

'It's been tricked! Cheng Yuan cried out like a concubine, his thoughts turned, his complexion turned blue and white, almost in the blink of an eye, he turned around, forced himself to face Zhang Yong and Xue Huan and said: "Captain, Second Young Master, you Which song did you sing?"

Zhang Yong sneered and remained silent, but Xue Huan let out a smirk, stuck out his scarlet tongue, and licked the scar around his mouth...it was a gift from Jiulongkou. "Second Master, I sang Ma Su with tears!"

"Injustice!" Cheng Yuan called out to Tianqu: "Second young master, I have been with Lord Hou for 20 years, but I am loyal and loyal, and the sun can see it!"

"Then why did you run away when you saw me?" Xue Huan walked over slowly and stared at Cheng Yuan.

"This..." Cheng Yuan finally couldn't withstand Xue Huan's ferocious pressure, his knees softened, and he knelt on the ground and said, "This subordinate is just making false claims with the King of Han and the others, and never colluded with each other..."

"I asked you what you were running for?" Xue Huan stood in front of Cheng Yuan, slapping Cheng Yuan's helmet with a big slap.

"Subordinates, subordinates are afraid..." Cheng Yuan was dizzy after being photographed, and he was even more frightened to death. The veteran general who had experienced many battles was now in tears.

"What is Uncle Cheng afraid of?" Xue Huan asked softly, but his eyes were patrolling the three commanders.

Those three people knelt on the ground in fright, and looked at Xue Huan in fear...

"I'm afraid you'll kill me..." Cheng Yuan trembled.

"You really guessed right..." Just when Cheng Yuan had gotten used to the way he slapped the ball, Xue Huan suddenly summoned his inner strength and slapped the stone-breaking palm!With a bang, Cheng Yuan's 40-year-old head was slapped and his brains splattered everywhere...
