Chapter 667 Xu Chengjin Wants to Rebel
"What is Dai Jingfeng dead?" Zhong Zhiheng was startled suddenly, he was stunned for a while, and then strode forward, sat down on the soft couch, frowning and hurriedly urged Jiang Bairen, "Dai Jingfeng, what is it?" Dead? Who killed him?"
"Long Live Lord, this time, my subordinates and General Dai went to southern Xinjiang secretly under the orders of the Holy Majesty. After leaving the capital, General Dai and his subordinates and a group of ten people rushed to southern Xinjiang day and night, but I didn't expect that, I just passed through Shaanxi, and when I first entered the land of Sichuan, I was targeted by a group of villains. Without a word, my subordinates and others were about to besiege and exterminate them. The number of opponents was more than ten times that of ours. , General Dai has to show his imperial badge to prove his identity, but it’s better not to reveal his identity, who knows that if his identity is revealed, the gangster insisted on putting us to death. In a panic, his subordinates covered General Dai to escape from the siege , thinking about fleeing to the Governor’s Yamen in Sichuan, but after another ten miles, there was still a layer of siege ahead. General Dai was killed on the spot, and his subordinates were shot with two arrows, and passed out on the spot,” Jiang Boren said while He took off the armor on his body, and sure enough there was a thick gauze wrapped around his chest. Jiang Bairen wiped away his tears and said, "My subordinate survived by luck, and woke up in a mass grave, where there are chaos and chaos. There were a lot of dead bodies piled up on the ground, General Dai was lying next to his subordinate, his heart was jumping with fear, when he heard voices coming from outside again, he was so busy that he closed his eyes and pretended to be dead, it turned out that it was those gangsters who dragged him away again The bodies of the other brothers were thrown in the mass graves, and my subordinates listened to their words, and they were actually from the southern Xinjiang camp!"
"What?" Rao had learned from Zhong Zhiling that there was a change in the Southern Border camp early in the morning, but at this moment, Zhong Zhiheng was still dumbfounded, "Is he from the Southern Border camp?"
"Long live Lord Mingjian! My subordinates heard the truth. They were ordered by General Zhennan Xu Chengjin to guard the main roads in Shu, in order to cut off the communication between Southern Xinjiang and the capital," Jiang Boren was excited. His voice trembled, "Long Live Lord, Xu Chengjin is going to rebel!"
"Bastard!" The next second, Zhong Zhiheng suddenly grabbed the teacup on the small table and slammed it on the ground.
"Tell me, what other news do you know, how can you be sure that Xu Chengjin will rebel?" Zhong Zhiling asked Jiang Bairen with a frown.
"Yes, my subordinates learned from the conversations of those soldiers in southern Xinjiang that the last time Xu Chengjin reported to the court the last time the results of the battle were false. At that time, the Southern Xinjiang camp captured 17 small tribes in total, and nearly 20 prisoners of war were included. The camp in southern Xinjiang, but Xu Chengjin’s report to the capital only listed six small tribes and 50,000 prisoners of war, what Xu Chengjin committed was a serious crime of deceiving the emperor!” Jiang Bairen said, paused, and suddenly remembered As if in a hurry, he said again, "Moreover, there were two Southern Xinjiang generals who did not want to betray the emperor's grace, so they sent a message to the capital in private. Later, Xu Chengjin noticed that the two were severely punished, and their family members were also punished." They were all thrown into prison, and now they don’t know whether they are alive or dead.”
"Unexpectedly, there are such loyal and patriotic people under Xu Chengjin. It's rare," Zhong Zhiling said with emotion, "If he doesn't die, he will become a pillar of the Zhou Dynasty in the future, but... oh! I'm afraid it will be more dangerous than good."
"Ruhai, urgently summon the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, the Minister of the Ministry of Households, and the left and right ministers to come to the imperial study." Zhong Zhiheng said to Zhao Ruhai who was waiting on the side.
"Yes, I obey." Zhao Ruhai bowed and retreated in a hurry.
"You wait at the side hall first." Zhong Zhiheng said to Jiang Bairen.
"Yes, my subordinate will leave." Jiang Boren bowed and retreated.
Zhong Zhiling looked at Zhong Zhiheng's ugly face, got up and walked in front of Zhong Zhiheng, then clasped his fists and said, "Brother Huang, the closest and most powerful troops to the southern border are Huguang, and the Northwest Army. It's just that the Huguang army is scattered and belongs to different divisions." Jurisdiction, after all, is inconvenient for a unified command, but my brother's Northwest Army has already gone south to the southwest of Qinghai, and is ready to be dispatched at any time. As long as the emperor gives an order, the Northwest Army can go straight to Huanglong and capture Xu Chengjin and his party members alive."
"Old Seven, what good will it do you to annihilate the Southern Border Camp?" Zhong Zhiheng looked at Zhong Zhiling, paused, and then said, "Then Xu Chengjin is our cousin after all, and was also our playmate when he was young." , and the most beloved nephew of the Empress Dowager, why do you deny him so much?"
"Brother Huang, the land and mountains of Dazhou have always belonged to our Zhong family. Anyone who dares to get involved will die," Zhong Zhiling said coldly, "even if it is a member of the Xu family."
