"What does Cao Wenzhao mean? Why are you blocking us?" Liu Xingzuo slapped his hands and roared angrily, "Chenglu, is this guy going to betray you? Didn't you say that he is the most loyal to Chief Minister Xiao Feng? He Renlong What do you say over there, don’t you let Cao Bianjiao take the lead?”
"Huh, betrayal? Based on his performance today, the civil servants will not let him go. It is impossible to please both sides." Mao Chenglu smiled contemptuously, "We warriors can never think of being more important than the top." Those literati who take us warriors seriously will be respected. They will only regard us as dogs that can be summoned and gone, or as scapegoats that can be betrayed and used to death at any time. Cao Wenzhao will not Too stupid to even understand this.”
"Then why did he do this?" Geng Jimao also asked: "Block us outside here. If we really want to storm in like this, not to mention the losses and casualties, I'm afraid this whole area will be burned to the ground."
Seeing Mao Chenglu's gaze, Shang Xuelia didn't shy away: "We have brought an artillery team, Cao Wenzhao's few soldiers can't stop us, and they will collapse with just one bombardment!"
Mao Chenglu sneered, "Do you think the Fifth Army Camp doesn't have artillery? Yang Zhaoji is the most elite of the Fifth Army Camp. It not only has tiger squatting artillery, but also horse-drawn heavy artillery. If we really want to bombard him, our troops are not enough for him. ,…”
"Then what does Cao Wenzhao mean? We are not allowed to arrest these civil servants, but we still have to protect them. If this stalemate continues, it will be very detrimental to us, and our supplies will not last long!" Geng Jimao asked puzzledly road.
"Humph, we've already entered the capital city, do we still need to worry about supplies?" Mao Chenglu had a cold face, seemingly in a bad mood, but his brows were not too anxious, "I think it's not a bad thing to be in a stalemate for a day or two. Let's Now that the surrounding area has been sealed off, these civil servants are hiding in there and don't dare to show their faces. I don't believe how long they can delay it."
"Then we are just stuck like this?" Geng Jimao shook his head, "The boys can't stand this kind of tossing. If it continues, they may start to act randomly. The people below may not be able to deal with them. It's not just us. I guess The soldiers in Denglai, Shanxi, and Jiangbei are all the same. They have been suppressed in remote areas for so long. Now they finally get this opportunity, and they are said to be laid off and let them go home. They are already very angry and can bear it. how long?"
Geng Jimao's words made Mao Chenglu feel that they were reasonable. When the time comes, he will really lose control. As long as one department becomes chaotic, other departments will probably follow suit. In that case, no one can suppress it, not even themselves.
After thinking for a while, Mao Chenglu gritted his teeth and said: "Jimao, second brother, and Xue Li, you guys greet your respective troops. Xiao Feng, the chief assistant, doesn't like to see people disturbing the people the most. No matter what the reason is, especially... This is in the capital city again. At least nothing will happen tomorrow. I'll go say hello to He Renlong and Huang Degong and Zuo Liangyu and ask. If it doesn't work, I'll go directly to Yang Zhaoji to see what it means. Don't act like it. If you lose control of the situation and make it impossible for everyone to control the situation, it will be self-defeating..."
In the second half of the night, the sound of gunfire around Yongfang was still going on at this time. You could not see the fireworks rising all around. It was obvious that some houses were on fire.
The various border troops who entered the capital city have complicated affiliations. They each belong to their own border town and are not subordinate to each other. Even if He Renlong has the highest official position, this is a "rebellion". Who will listen to you, the commander-in-chief of Denglai Town?
He Huchen breathed a sigh of relief.
He is not sure either.
Especially when he saw that the other party had dragged out the artillery team, he was also shocked. Of course he also had artillery, but he came in a hurry, and they both thought that this was in the capital city, and the two sides had some kind of tacit understanding, so that it would not develop to the point where they really wanted to fight hand-to-hand, so neither he nor Yang Zhaoji brought out the artillery team. Troublesome and inconvenient.
Unexpectedly, the other party showed off its artillery first, as if they would use artillery fire if the negotiation was not successful or if they did not give in.
"Immediately report it to Lord Jiedushi. The situation may not be as simple as Lord imagined. Each of these soldiers is like a wolf and a tiger, full of anger. I feel that these generals may not be able to control it, or they simply cannot control it." If you want to make things bigger, you will suffer from the consequences of your life. Their elders and superiors are thousands of miles away..."
Synthesizing his analysis and judgment, He Huchen asked himself to rush back to the camp immediately and report the situation here to Cao Wenzhao.
He Huchen had a rough idea of He Renlong's temperament. They both had the surname He, but they couldn't get enough of him.
He Renlong was famous for his bravery when he was in the Yulin Army. Later, when he arrived in Liaodong, he also had a desperate temper. After arriving in Denglai Town, he was even more focused on finding a good place. Of course, he did the right thing. Cao Wenzhao went to the capital camp. As soon as he was introduced as deputy commander-in-chief, he directly took over as commander-in-chief. Under normal circumstances, with his qualifications, it would never be his turn to be the commander-in-chief of Denglai Town.
He Huchen estimated that Yang Zhaoji's side was similar. It seemed that the two sides had a tacit understanding, which was to put pressure on the civil servants. However, He Huchen and Yang Zhaoji led the defense because they were worried that these border troops would be difficult to control after entering the city. In case even the generals could not suppress them, These rebels are burning and killing desperately, and these two troops must serve as the last line of defense to avoid slipping into an uncontrollable situation.
He Huchen had a hunch that all the original assumptions would come to nothing. The border troops who rushed into the city might not be able to suppress their inner hostility and resentment after being tempted and stimulated by all kinds of temptations.
Armed with sharp weapons, murderous intentions arise, especially since they can also feel the ambiguous attitude on their side. I'm afraid they will regard it as a kind of acquiescence and connivance. Once they really have this idea, danger will come at any time. .
He needs to remind Master Jiedushi not to overestimate his own side's deterrence, nor to underestimate the other side's long-standing anger and resentment.
Perhaps Master Jieduzhi had already expected it, so he only sent himself and Yang Zhaoji. But in the end, should we just let the two of us control the situation by ourselves?
For a moment, He Huchen was not sure whether his reminders and warnings to Lord Jiedushi were meaningful. If Lord Jiedushi allowed him and Yang Zhaoji to act according to the situation, how should he respond?
Especially when I think that my subordinates are also full of resentment and angry about the upcoming disarmament. In this case, what if...
