Chapter 130: Barracks Mutiny
The search for spies against Tuqi Shi continued, and Zi Linfeng was in full responsibility. Pei Min followed Li Xiu to the military camp outside the city.
Military envoy Gao Xianzhi welcomed them into the central army's tent.
"Your Highness, Bei Yi just got the news that Yuan Tao and his two thousand troops have passed Jiaohe County. At normal speed, they will arrive in Gaochang City tonight."
"Who else must be eradicated except Yuan Tao in his two thousand troops?"
Gao Xianzhi clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, neither the soldiers nor the lower-level officers will betray the Tang Dynasty. The key is that Pan Yue and Ding Shoudao, the left and right commanders under Yuan Tao, will be able to control it as long as Yuan Tao and these two people are killed, two thousand troops will be able to control it."
Li Xiu nodded and said to Pei Min: "Miao Changchun led ten warriors to the camp. I am worried that the brothers' abilities are still a little weaker. You should also rush to Yuantao's army. Be sure to kill Yuantao without catching the living. Just kill him directly. It is best to kill Pan Yue and Ding Shoudao at the same time."
"Do you need to go to a pseudonym?"
"Your pseudonym is Li Shi, who is one of the leaders of the Ghost Mother Warrior. After the failure of the Maitreya Sect, he came to join the Yuan family. He is currently highly valued by Yuan Biao, but Yuan Tao has never seen this person. Li Shi's biggest feature is silence. You don't need to say anything, Miao Changchun will cover it up for you."
"Does Miao Changchun know that the pseudonym of Li Shi in the vocational school?"
"He knew, I told him that if you go, your pseudonym would be Li Shi!"
"I understand, let's go now!"
Pei Min rode away on a horse, and Li Xiu smiled at Gao Xianzhi again and said, "Tonight, there are two tough battles, one against Yuan Tao's army and the other against Sun Zhaoyang's army. If we take down both troops, we will have 10,000 troops in our hands, and we should be able to deal with the Tuqi Shi people."
Gao Xianzhi sighed softly, "Kill Yuan Tao, Beiting will have no leader, and his highness can only take on the heavy responsibility temporarily. He hopes that under His Highness, the Tuqi Shiren's ambitions for Beiting will be completely wiped out under His Highness's leadership!"
Li Xiu smiled faintly, "I have no choice!"
............
Pei Min met Yuan Tao's army at dusk. Originally, Li Xiu had arranged for the deputy commander of the samurai Wang Ze'an to lead nine warriors to follow Miao Changchun to Yuan Tao's army.
But Li Xiu just learned that although Yuan Tao had very little qualifications, he was not a playboy. He once won the championship in the guards' martial arts competition and had very good martial arts skills.
Li Xiu was worried that Wang Zean could not deal with Yuan Tao and had to send Pei Min out in order to be foolproof.
Pei Min is not only an important supplement, but also brought Li Xiu's final instructions, which made Miao Changchun, who was suffering from waiting, breathe a sigh of relief.
Before Miao Changchun was taken by the soldiers and Yuan Tao's tent, Yuan Tao pointed at Pei Min next to him and asked, "Is this the sir's person?"
Miao Changchun nodded, "He is the most powerful warrior under my command, named Li Shi. I will keep him in Gaochang City to continue monitoring Li Xiu."
"Your swordsmanship is very powerful, but why haven't I seen him?"
Miao Changchun smiled and said, "He was originally the leader of the Ghost Mother Warrior of the Maitreya Sect. He just joined the head of the family. He has a strong martial arts skills and is highly valued by the head of the family!"
"I see!"
Yuan Tao said to Pei Min: "From now on, you will be by my side!"
None of his dozen personal soldiers just now were his opponents, which really shocked Yuan Tao. He had such a high martial arts skills, of course he would not give it to Miao Changchun again.
Miao Changchun smiled bitterly and said, "Let me understand Gaochang's situation first, and then let him follow the envoy!"
"Can!"
Yuan Tao waved his hand and Pei Min followed Miao Changchun.
Miao Changchun's small tent was the only small tent except Yuan Tao's marching tent. After entering the tent, Pei Min said to Wang Ze'an: "You lead your brothers to stand guard around you and don't allow people to get close. I have important things to tell Mr. Miao!"
Wang Ze'an bowed and went out.
Pei Min then said to Miao Changchun: "Gao Xianzhi will lead his army tonight. When it comes, you suggest that Yuan Tao hold important discussions, and Pan Yue and Ding Shoudao must be present."
"Will I be affected?" Miao Changchun said worriedly.
"No, I'll call you out at a critical moment."
............
At the second update, a rocket rose into the air in the distance, which was Gao Xianzhi sending a signal.
Pei Min immediately notified Miao Changchun to discuss matters.
Yuan Tao woke up from his sleep and asked in confusion: "Why are you so anxious and want to discuss matters in the middle of the night?"
"Tomorrow we have to face Li Xiu opposite me. How should we deal with Gao Xianzhi's army? It will be too late to discuss it tomorrow."
Yuan Tao nodded, Miao Changchun made sense, and he immediately said to his personal soldiers: "Go and find General Pan and General Ding!"
Miao Changchun was secretly happy. Without his advice, Yuan Tao actually took the initiative to find Pan Yue and Ding Shoudao.
In the marching tent, Yuan Tao said to Pan Yue and Ding Shoudao: "Mr. Miao is very worried. Will Li Xiu use Gao Xianzhi to deal with us? Logically speaking, this possibility is very high. I want to hear your opinions."
Pan Yue bowed and said, "Your envoy is right. We only have two thousand troops, but Gao Xianzhi has five thousand men. We are far from being an opponent. The most urgent task is to transfer Sun Zhaoyang's three thousand troops and merge the two armies so that we will not be afraid of Gao Xianzhi's threat."
As he was speaking, Pei Min appeared at the door of the tent and said, "Mr. Miao, your subordinates have urgent matters to report!"
Miao Changchun stood up and apologized: "I'll go and take a look and I'll be back soon!"
Miao Changchun got up and left. Pei Min took out another letter and handed it to Yuan Tao, "This is sent by Gao Xianzhi. Please let me see it!"
Yuan Tao quickly took the letter, and suddenly, his vest hurt a sharp pain. Before he could react, his eyes turned dark and he knew nothing.
Pan Yue and Ding Shoudao had not realized that Pei Min had taken action. Suddenly, Yuan Tao fell down. They were shocked. It was too late. Pei Min's sword had arrived in front of him.
‘Crack!’ Pan Yue’s head fell to the ground, Ding Shoudao was so frightened that he was furious that he rolled out and stumbled outwards. A cold light flashed and the long sword pierced his vest.
Pei Min carried Yuan Tao's head and walked out of the big tent. Outside the tent, Wang Ze'an led nine warriors to fight fiercely with Yuan Tao's personal soldiers.
When Yuan Tao's personal soldiers heard the movement, they forced their way into the camp tent, but were stopped by Wang Ze'an and the warriors were fought fiercely.
Pei Min raised Yuan Tao's head and shouted: "Yuan Tao is dead, the stubborn ones will kill you!"
When more than a dozen personal soldiers saw that their lord was dead, they had no intention of fighting again and fled to their own lives and soon disappeared into the darkness.
Pei Min then said to Wang Ze'an: "Shoot the rocket!"
Wang Zean took out a rifle arrow, lit the fuse and shot it into the sky.
The rocket drew a bright red color in the night sky. Gao Xianzhi, who was miles away, saw the rocket and immediately shouted: "Go to attack!"
Five thousand cavalry suddenly launched, and their troops were divided into two groups, one south and one north, two thousand troops three miles away surrounded.
In just a moment, Gao Xianzhi's army surrounded two thousand troops. At this time, the two thousand troops were in chaos. The soldiers woke up from their sleep, but the general was missing and the soldiers were confused and they were confused.
At this time, Gao Xianzhi's soldiers shouted: "We are the Tang Army of Gaochang. We will capture the spy of Tuqi Shi. Please sit down and rest, don't panic!"
I heard that it was the Gaochang Tang army, and the soldiers all fell down with their hearts.
Gao Xianzhi's soldiers quickly built a large tent, and dozens of low-level generals above fire chiefs in Yuantao's army were invited into the large tent.
The tent was brightly lit and dozens of people gathered together. Li Xiu appeared. He whispered to the generals: "Below is the 38th son of the emperor, Li Xiu, who came to Beiting to deal with the crisis under the order of the emperor and the regent. Everyone may not know what crisis happened in Beiting. I tell you, the Tuqi Shiren has captured Yizhou!"
Li Xiu's words were astonishing as the sky was shook, and there was an uproar in the tent. These two thousand people were the Yiwu army. The generals' families were all in various counties in Yizhou. Suddenly, they heard that Yizhou was occupied by the thunder cavalrymen. How could everyone not be nervous?
"Your Highness, when did it happen?" asked a captain.
"It was what happened yesterday. Sun Zhaoyang led three thousand troops south to Gaochang, and Yiwu was completely empty. Tuhuoxian led 10,000 cavalry cavalry and hid in the north. They occupied Yizhou without any resistance."
Speaking of this, Li Xiu suddenly raised his voice, "Why did this happen? It was because Yuan Tao and even his family secretly colluded with Tuqi Shiren and betrayed the Tang Dynasty. The emperor and the regent ordered me to come to Beiting to deal with this matter urgently. From now on, I will temporarily serve as the governor of the Beiting Army. Everyone must obey my orders, take back Yizhou, and annihilate Tuqi Shiren!"
Everyone knelt on one knee and whispered: "I wish to listen to your Highness's order!"
