Chapter 15 Rebellion
Practice in the morning.
At noon, I went to the kitchen to have a small meal.
In the afternoon, I went to the central military tent to learn Daqin characters with Meng Ao.
Mr. Mo's life suddenly became peaceful.
Mr. Tuomo's blessing, after losing this battle, the army led by Meng Ao has almost lost the ability to continue fighting. After all, more than one-third of the vanguard elite died directly.
If there is no assistance from Mr. Mo in the future, it is estimated that it is not impossible to lose more than half of the elite in this battle.
But because of Mo Jun's "Wonderful Hand Rejuvenation", more than 90% of the wounded were successfully treated and brought back, so now Meng Ao can still rely on the city wall to organize defense with his remaining combat power.
Once the follow-up reinforcements arrive, it is entirely possible for Meng Ao to counterattack again and make meritorious deeds.
Originally a battle with a clear winner and a loser, Mo Jun rescued a lifeline. From a certain point of view, this time Meng Ao owed Mo Jun a big favor.
Therefore.
Meng Ao had this attitude towards Mo Jun.
But the plan could not keep up with the changes after all. Meng Ao's plan had no problem in theory, but the world is unpredictable.
Accompanied by a sudden news, the peace in the general camp was instantly broken.
"Mr. Chang'an... rebelled!"
Looking at the scouts in front of him, the news came at a speed of 800 miles, even veterans like Zhang Tang and Meng Ao couldn't help but change their expressions in shock.
Attack Zhao this time.
Meng Ao and Zhang Tang led an army of 50,000 troops as the first marching army, followed by 50,000 troops led by Chang'an Jun Chengyu and Fan Yuqi stationed in Tunliu, ready to support at any time.
Before Meng Ao lost the battle with Li Mu, he sent a message to ask reinforcements to provide support. However, Meng Ao never expected that after waiting for so long, Meng Ao failed to wait for the reinforcements.
"Why is this? Lord Chang'an is the king's half-brother, and the king treats him well. Why did he rebel?"
Zhang Tang's eyes widened, unable to understand.
The current king is young, and his succession time is still short, so he is still unable to control the government.
Above the court, there is Lu Xiang's lineage to control the state affairs.
Inside the imperial palace, there is another empress dowager who restricts the imperial power.
There are even rumors in the Jianghu that there are some improper relationships between Prime Minister Lu and the Queen Mother.
It can be said that the current situation in Xianyang is indeed treacherous, with ups and downs. Under such circumstances, Zhang Tang would not be too surprised even if someone would actually do some treasonous acts.
But this person shouldn't be Chang'an Jun Chengyu!
The fate of the current king is ill-fated, and Cheng Yu, as the younger brother of the current king, can be regarded as a rare family affection for the current king. The two have had a close relationship since childhood and often fencing together.
The king also trusted Cheng Yu quite a lot, and even part of the military power was given to Cheng Yu to take charge of it.
But under such trust, Lord Chang'an betrayed the king mercilessly.
"Who knows?"
Compared to Zhang Tang's shock, Meng Ao quickly regained his composure except for the shock at the beginning. With his hands behind his back, his eyes were deep and he said: "Power is a kind of poison, especially if you were born in a place like the royal family, you will be infected with this poison from an early age."
"Throughout the ages, there have been more than a thousand battles over that position. Is there a legitimate reason every time?"
"Then what shall we do next?" Zhang Tang asked.
Meng Ao glanced at him.
what to do?
Good question, how do I know what to do?
But not to mention that they are still confronting Zhao Guo, if they send troops to suppress the rebellion at this time, what should they do with the three cities they just captured?
What's more, since the past dynasties, the royal family's rebellion has always been decided by the top, and the courtiers suffered.
Although this possibility is extremely small, how did Meng Ao know that Cheng Yu's rebellion this time was not a brotherhood between him and Ying Zheng?
After all, in the final analysis, most royal family rebellions are actually just family affairs of the royal family.
It's just that the impact of this family matter is a little bit bigger.
"Mr. Mo, what do you think?"
While Meng Ao was contemplating, Yu Guang suddenly turned to someone in the corner and asked subconsciously.
Feeling that he heard some terrible news, Mo Jun, who is trying to reduce his sense of existence: "..."
"The subordinates are dull and have no opinion at all."
Mo Junguo broke his mouth.
joke.
If you have an opinion on this thing, you can’t say it!
Seeing Mo Jun's terrified expression, Meng Ao suddenly smiled and said: "Your boy is indeed as smart as a ghost, you are right, we don't need to have an opinion on this matter, we just need to wait quietly for the king's decision." Just order."
After finishing speaking, Meng Ao seemed to think of something again, and added: "Also, Zhang Tang, you are now mobilizing an army to Shangdang to strengthen the guard. There are some things we have to guard against."
Zhang Tang responded quickly: "Yes!"

Xianyang Palace.
The atmosphere of the entire palace could be heard, and all the civil servants and military generals were on both sides of the hall, afraid of being angered, they were unwilling to make a single sound.
On the throne.
Qin Wang Yingzheng was holding a bamboo slip, looking at the news described above, his hands were bulging with blue veins, trembling slightly, his face under the crown was as gloomy as water.
"Asshole, it makes no sense."
After an unknown amount of time, Ying Zheng slammed the bamboo slips down and said angrily, "I trust this son so much that I entrusted him with a 50,000-strong army. This is how he treats my trust..."
At the end, Ying Zheng's voice began to tremble slightly.
As Zhang Tang said before.
Now the situation in the court is treacherous, even if another person rebelled, Ying Zheng might not be so angry. But the person who rebelled this time turned out to be one of the few people he trusted most in Yingzheng.
"Your Majesty, appease your anger. The top priority now is to send a large army to quell the rebellion as soon as possible to reduce the impact of this matter."
Ordinary ministers naturally dare not offend the king's eyebrows at this time. After all, even if the king of Qin is still young and has not yet fully secured the throne under him, not everyone can offend the king's authority.
It's just that the person who spoke out this time was not an ordinary minister, but the current Qin King Zhongfu, the Great Qin Xiangguo - Lu Buwei.
Hearing Lu Buwei's remonstrance, even if Ying Zheng is in a rage now, he has to calm down temporarily and listen to his advice.
After a while.
Finally, Ying Zheng, who managed to calm down his anger, said in a deep voice, "Where is Wang Jian?"
A burly man with dignified eyes stepped out, bowed down and saluted, "Your Majesty Wang Jian is waiting for your order."
"Order you to immediately lead an army of 100,000 to Tunliu to put down the rebellion."
"The minister obeys the order."
"In addition, immediately send an order to General Meng Ao to send troops to help put down the rebellion. The widow must end the rebellion in the shortest possible time. There must be no mistakes."
