Chapter 13: New and Old Hatreds, Irreconcilable

Hiss!

As Chang Chenghu held up Wu Fengxian's head with both hands and presented it in the central army tent, all the generals of the Yunhui Army present took a breath of cold air and subconsciously took a step back.

Looking at the center of the tent, Wu Qingyun's ugly and ferocious face was bloodless, his eyes as big as copper bells were flashing with fierce light, and his whole body exuded a suffocating cold murderous aura.

So much so that the temperature in the central army tent dropped sharply under his influence, and the cold air was pressing and rushing in.

At this moment, the deputy general Zhou Wuyang, who was standing face to face with Wu Qingyun in the center of the tent at the entrance of the tent, held his breath and dared not even breathe.

He wanted to shrink his head into his crotch, for fear of being stared at by the general Wu Qingyun who was on the verge of rage, and his heart was full of regret.

Why are you flattering for no reason? This is not a matter of flattering the horse's legs, this is clearly a matter of flattering the horse to death!

Family members, flattering is risky, be careful before flattering!

Fortunately, Wu Qingyun has no time to pay attention to Zhou Wuyang, this flatterer. He is suppressing the grief of losing his son in middle age and maintaining the last bit of rationality on the edge of anger, rage and revenge impulse.

He asked Chang Chenghu, who was kneeling under the big tent: "Deputy General Chang, what is going on?"

"Start from the beginning, don't hide anything!"

"Yes, General!"

Chang Chenghu took two deep breaths, adjusted his mood, and then told General Wu Qingyun a series of events that happened in and outside Longcheng today in front of the generals of the Yunhui Army.

First, Chen Huaian lured Major General Wu Fengxian into Longcheng City and killed him on the pretext of handing over the military token of the Po Lu Army and the Longcheng pass;

Then, Chen Huaian ordered the remnants of the Po Lu Army to read the "Fengtian Jingnan Taoni Manifesto" on the Longcheng tower, and raised troops to rebel under the banner of "clearing the emperor's side and eliminating treacherous officials" and went out of the city to fight;

Then, the 10,000 vanguards of the Yunhui Army who had been hastily attacked from afar were defeated by the well-prepared Po Lu Army and defeated Longcheng;

Finally, Chen Huaian seized the flag in front of the battle, returned the head of Major General Wu Fengxian, and killed people in front of the two armies.

Chang Chenghu narrated the battle that happened in and outside Longcheng today as emotionlessly as possible.

But the stormy waves between the lines of his narration still shocked the generals of the Yunhui Army, including Wu Qingyun, speechless.

Especially the banner of "cleaning up the emperor's side and eliminating treacherous officials" in the letter of rebellion shows that Chen Huaian and the remnants of the Jin Palace did not have a sudden idea to rebel, but had been planning for a long time.

In addition, in Chang Chenghu's narration, Chen Huaian, the useless prince who was regarded as "a weak son of a tiger father" by everyone in the court of Daxin, was actually brave enough to fight against thousands of men.

Even Chang Chenghu, the deputy general of the Yunhui Army, could not last a round in his hands and was defeated, which surprised the generals of the Yunhui Army.

At the end, Chang Chenghu said to Wu Qingyun exactly what Chen Huaian told him to convey to him:

"General, the bandit chieftain Chen Huaian asked me to bring a message to you before he left--"

"Chen Huaian said: Twenty years ago, my father beat him with a hundred military sticks in front of the three armies and he couldn't get out of bed for a month.

Twenty years later, it was still easy for me to take his flag in front of the three armies. His 100,000 Yunhui troops were just a bunch of chickens and dogs in my eyes!"

"How dare you!"

Bang!

Wu Qingyun's veins popped up, and after a loud shout, he slammed his palm hard on the table in front of him. The heavy wooden table broke and broke in half.

"General, calm down!"

In an instant, all the generals of the Yunhui army knelt down in the central army tent.

These generals were Wu Qingyun's confidants, and they were naturally well aware that the fact that Wu Qingyun was beaten in public by Chen Polu twenty years ago was regarded by the general as a lifelong shame, and a reverse scale that he could not be touched.

Over the years, all the generals of the Yunhui Army, whether in public or in private, tacitly dared not mention this matter, for fear of offending the general and being liquidated.

Facts have proved that this is indeed the case. Even though twenty years have passed, it is still a shame that Wu Qingyun is unwilling to face, and its weight is even greater than the pain of losing his son in middle age.

The commander of the front army, Liang Erhu, glared at Chang Chenghu, the instigator, fiercely, and then clasped his hands and said:

"General, Chen Huaian is a young boy who doesn't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. He dared to speak rudely to the general. I ask for your order to lead 10,000 elite cavalry to attack Longshan Camp tomorrow.

I will take Chen Huaian's dog head to sacrifice in front of the three armies to comfort the spirit of the young general in heaven!"

"I hope the general will grant your approval!"

"General, I, Hu Lushan, ask for your order--"

"I, Yan Fuquan, ask for your order--"

"I, Ma Ben, ask for your order--"

For a while, under the leadership of the commander of the front army, Liang Erhu, a group of Yunhui Army generals in the big tent stood up to show their loyalty to Wu Qingyun and asked for your order to lead troops to attack Longshan Camp.

Wu Qingyun still looked livid, raised his hand and pressed it down to signal the generals to be quiet.

Then, he said righteously: "I appreciate your kindness."

"But you are all officials appointed by the court like me, Wu Qingyun. All actions must comply with the emperor's will. You must put the country first and never ignore the important tasks of the court for your own selfish interests!"

"This general is leading the army to Longcheng in accordance with the emperor's order to receive the military tokens and passes of the Longcheng garrison and to guard the border for the emperor!"

"In fact, Chen Huaian, a rebellious minister and traitor, rebelled against the order and rebelled against his superiors. He first planned to harm Wu Fengxian, the vanguard general of our Yunhui Army, and then led his troops out of the city to wantonly massacre the generals of our Yunhui Army.

He also brazenly made bullshit slogans about being on the side of the emperor and getting rid of traitors and traitors, but no matter how eloquent Chen Huaian was, he could not change the fact that he was raising troops to rebel! "

"My army of 100,000 Yunhui was ordered to go north to conquer Ni by the current Saint. They are the masters of the king and the masters of justice!"

At this point, Wu Qingyun changed the subject and said sternly: "Generals of the Yunhui army, obey the order!"

"The general is here!"

In the Chinese army's tent, all the Yunhui army generals responded in unison.

Wu Qingyun said word for word: "The thief general Chen Huaian raised his troops to rebel with the intention of subverting the foundation of our new dynasty. His intentions are worthy of death;

The remnants of the eight thousand Polu army should be killed according to the law regardless of whether they help Zhou or abuse them; the people of Longcheng harbored the rebels and committed the crime of deceiving the emperor."

"In the name of General Huwei, the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Army of the Great New Dynasty, I issue an order to counter the rebellion to the generals of the Yunhui Army——"

"Vice General Zhou Wuyang——"

"The general is here!"

"I have ordered you to lead an army of 50,000 men and march to Dragon City tomorrow morning. If the remnants of the Polu army rely on the city wall to resist stubbornly, they will be killed without asking for permission. They will capture Dragon City and not seal the sword for three days!"

"The last general takes command!"

Wu Qingyun said again: "Former army general Liang Erhu——"

"The general is here!"

"My general orders you to lead 10,000 Yunzhou assault cavalry and 20,000 Yunhui infantry to accompany me. Tomorrow we will send troops to the Longshan camp. I will personally kill the leader of the bandit army, Chen Huaian!"

"The last general takes command!"

Finally, Wu Qingyun's sharp eyes fell on Deputy General Chang Chenghu, who was disheveled and covered in blood, and said in a cold tone: "Deputy General Chang Chenghu——"

"The end, the end will be here!"

Chang Chenghu was surprised and happy, and knelt down to accept the order with uneasiness.

Wu Qingyun said: "Logically speaking, you were unfavorable in protecting the Lord, which resulted in the death of the Major General. I should have given you the punishment of Lingchi in accordance with military law. All your family members should have been enlisted in the army, and the men should have been slaves for generations. Women have been prostitutes for generations!”

"But I, the general, want you to work hard and uncomplainingly in the Yunhui Army over the years, so I will give you a chance to make meritorious service.

This general orders you to regroup the remnants of the vanguard of the Yunhui Army that were defeated on the battlefield today and organize them into the Tiaodang Team (Assault Death Squadron) to accompany the army to attack the city and capture the flag. "

"The last general takes command!"

It wasn't until this moment that the stone hanging in Chang Chenghu's heart finally fell, and the corner of his eye clearly revealed the joy of surviving the disaster.

With this risky move, he made the right bet!

Soon, the generals of Yunhui's army took their orders and left. Only Wu Qingyun and Wu Fengxian, who was executed with his body and head mutilated, were left in the huge Chinese army tent.

It was only then that Wu Qingyun took off his disguise, and his ferocious and ugly face showed the grief of a white-haired man sending a black-haired man. He held up Wu Fengxian's head with tears in his hands, and said fiercely and firmly:

"My son, please walk more slowly on the Huangquan Road, and don't be in a hurry to cross the Naihe Bridge."

"As a father, I will not only chop off Chen Huaian's head with my own hands to avenge you, but I will also let all the more than 300,000 people in Longcheng be buried for you!"
