Chapter 1048 1049 [The real trump card]

When Wang Pingzhang and the Sixth Prince appeared in front of the generals in the South Camp, everyone knew that there were only two paths in front of them.

Believe them and then follow them determinedly. Once you embark on this path, you will never be able to look back. No matter whether there is any chaos in Kyoto City, as long as the Nanying army comes to the city, it is destined to stand on the opposite side of the imperial court. If one's own side loses power, the soldiers below can still fight at any time.

They surrendered their weapons and waited for forgiveness, but the generals in the festival hall had no chance of escaping.

The second way is to regard death as a return, and use blood and heads to forge the name of a loyal minister.

For the generals in the hall, it is not difficult to make a decision, because today's Nanying is no longer the Nanying under Gu Liang's command.

In the third year of Kaiping, Gu Liang completed the adjustment and control of the South Camp. The five commanders were all his confidants. The situation at that time was roughly similar to that of Pei Yue and Beiying today. However, it did not take long for Gu Liang to be

He was transferred to Chengjing to control the camp. He knew the deep meaning of the emperor's move, so he took Li Jin and two other commanders to the southern border.

After Li Bingzhong took over Nanying, although he never took over the camp, his two years of playing power had a great impact on the middle and lower-level generals of Nanying. When Luo Huanzhang took over with his victory in the Western Region,

In the southern camp, the inherent resistance was greatly reduced. Except for Wei Xiao, the commander of the Longxiang Guards, most of the other generals were replaced by new faces he trusted.

In other words, Luo Huanzhang's prestige in Nanying is far beyond that of Li Bingzhong.

Wang Pingzhang was very satisfied with the reaction of the generals. After looking at each other with the sixth prince Liu Zhi, he said to everyone: "The incident happened suddenly, and I was caught off guard."

He briefly explained what happened at the altar of sacrifice to heaven, and everyone was shocked and confused.

But there was one thing he still couldn't figure out. With the deep loyalty he had shown in the past, how could Luo Huanzhang make such a choice while knowing the truth of the matter?

On the other side, Dingjun Marquis Luo Huanzhang said in a cold voice: "Anyone with different intentions must be an accomplice of the rebellious ministers and traitors. Don't blame me for not recognizing the past feelings!"

Luo Huanzhang nodded and said nothing.

Wei Xiao didn't even glance at the blade, and stood straight with a fearless expression.

At that time, Pei Yue repeatedly speculated on Wang Pingzhang's thoughts, but never found the answer. He could only think that Wang Pingzhang had a deep prejudice against Tang Youzhi himself.

The sixth prince Liu Zhi looked at Luo Huanzhang, who had a face as thick as a jujube, and said with emotion: "When the Duke of Wei secretly told me, I couldn't believe that Marquis Dingjun would do such a righteous act. He is worthy of being a loyal minister and tiger general of the country.

."

Liu Zhi said in a deep voice: "My generals, Daliang is now at its most dangerous moment in the past century. If those thieves are allowed to steal the sky, I am afraid that the building will collapse. In this critical time, I sincerely ask you to work together to help Duke Wei.

Together with Marquis Dingjun, he raised an army to quell the rebellion, wiped out the evildoers and clarified Yuyu. The imperial court will never disrespect everyone's loyalty."

Although considerable results have been achieved in the early stage, the next task will be more difficult. If you want to achieve the final goal, you must occupy Kyoto and control the court as soon as possible.

Liu Zhi was very clear about the cause and effect of this matter. Like Pei Yue, he couldn't figure out why Wang Pingzhang handed over the governor of Lingzhou to Tang Youzhi. Now that he saw Luo Huanzhang siding with him, he couldn't help but feel a strong shock in his heart, and

A trace of fear and jealousy towards Wang Pingzhang that cannot be revealed.

"General, take your orders!" All the generals responded in unison.

When they heard that the prince was injured, His Majesty was assassinated, and Kyoto had fallen into the hands of the second prince, Gu Liang and Xiao Jin, Wang Pingzhang and the sixth prince escaped from the city with the protection of his own soldiers and generals. All the commanders could not help but feel worried and confused.

A strange emotion mixed with excitement.

The commander of the Longxiang Guards, Wei Xiao, stood tall, glanced at everyone and then stared at Wang Pingzhang, sneering: "Wang Pingzhang, Wei will never collude with a thief like you!"

Prior to this, Emperor Kaiping originally wanted to transfer Tang Youzhi back to Beijing to replace Li Bingzhong and become the new head coach of the South Camp of the Beijing Army.

Looking at the soldiers in the festival hall who were holding weapons and watching eagerly, even if most of them stood up to express their stance, the rest might be hesitant. However, under Wang Pingzhang's cold eyes, they could only agree loudly.

Only one person suddenly let out a harsh laugh.

Of course, the premise is that Tang Youzhi, who has made greater contributions, has other plans.

The dozen or so young men brought by Wang Pingzhang were furious, and someone immediately drew a knife and put it on his neck.

After everyone left, Luo Huanzhang's personal soldiers and Wang Pingzhang's personal guards also went outside to enforce martial law, leaving only three real core figures in the festival hall.

This move was naturally strongly opposed by Pei Yue. After many confrontations and arguments, Wang Pingzhang took the initiative to take a step back and recommended Tang Youzhi as the new Lingzhou governor. Compared with Li Bingzhong, Tang Youzhi was more suitable for Pei in terms of ability and qualifications.

Yue had no reason to continue to oppose, so everything was settled.

Liu Zhi heard what he meant. It was obvious that the old man had planned this battle very well. This can be seen from the fact that he tried every means to transfer Luo Huanzhang to the capital camp two years ago.

Wang Pingzhang said calmly: "Your Highness, don't worry, I have already made arrangements. Within ten days, I guarantee that Your Highness can enter the capital calmly."

In the fifth year of Kaiping, Daliang defeated hundreds of thousands of troops from Western Wu on the border and achieved a hearty and far-reaching victory.

Liu Zhi recalled this person's life, and a name suddenly popped into his mind, and he couldn't help but asked in surprise: "The first decision is to appoint Duke Pei Zhen?"

The only good thing is that except for the Beijing camp, all the elites of the Daliang army are at the border. Even if Emperor Kaiping can come through and issue orders, it will take at least a month to reach the border with the imperial edict to mobilize the border troops. As for the chambers of various state capitals,

The army was like a weak sheep in front of the Beijing camp, completely worthless.

Luo Huanzhang lowered his head slightly and said: "Your Highness is so complimentary. This is the duty that a minister should perform."

Liu Zhi smiled slightly and looked at Wang Pingzhang again, his eyes full of admiration and awe: "The world says that Pei Yue is thoughtful and has far-reaching plans, but in my opinion, he is not even worthy of carrying shoes for Duke Wei. Who would have thought that Duke Wei had gone around so much?

A large circle is just for this moment?"

Wang Pingzhang said again: "I will give you one hour to prepare. Before the second hour, the whole army will march to Beijing to put down the rebellion. All those who have not arrived will be killed."

Luo Huanzhang glanced at Wang Pingzhang, and then said with a complicated expression: "Your Highness must have doubts in his heart. In fact, I am an outlier in the military. Not only did I know the Duke many years ago, but I also have an incomparable respect for the other Duke."

Awe.”

After Tang Youzhi was appointed as the governor of Lingzhou, it was logical for Luo Huanzhang to take over the southern camp of the Beijing Army, because Pei Yue had the first credit in the Battle of the Western Border, and Tang Youzhi's contribution in the Northern Front was second, followed by Jinshui, who was then in charge of the Western Border.

Luo Huanzhang, the head coach of the camp.

After Pei Yue returned to Beijing, he originally wanted to recommend Zhao Xianhong, Yin of Xingyang Prefecture, as the governor of Lingzhou to coordinate with his arrangements and layout in Lingzhou. Unexpectedly, at that court meeting shrouded in mist, Wang Pingzhang suddenly proposed the restructuring of the Western Army and strongly recommended him.

Li Bingzhong is the new governor of Lingzhou who takes over military and political power.

Liu Zhi sighed softly, looked at Wang Pingzhang and changed the subject: "Wei Guogong, let's not worry about Gu Liang for the moment. Xiao Jin is an extremely difficult opponent. He has been in Hucheng for ten years and has never given the Xiwu people a chance. When it comes to defending the city.

There are probably not many warriors in this world who can surpass him. I wonder how sure we are of defeating the city?"

Wang Pingzhang said calmly: "Take him down, wait until the gate of Kyoto City, and use this person's head to sacrifice the flag in front of those rebellious officials and traitors."

Luo Huanzhang has been stationed in the Western Border for more than 20 years. He has made great contributions from a soldier in the border army to a general in Hucheng and then to the commander of the first battalion. He has countless scars on his body and has long been qualified to go further. He cooperated with Pei Yue to defeat Zhang Qingbai in the Western Border War.

After becoming the main player, no one can question his qualifications to be transferred to the Beijing camp coach.

The personal guards took the order and left the festival hall, dragging the struggling Wei Xiao. The generals were filled with awe.

This sentence refers to a past event.

He breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "My wealth and life will be entrusted to Duke Wei."

Wang Pingzhang bowed his head slightly to show respect.

In less than two seconds, the South Camp of the Beijing Army was fully equipped and marched towards the gates of Kyoto.

Today is the 19th day of the fifth lunar month, the seventh year of Kaiping.
