Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3629 rebellion in the army
North of Luoyang, there are "seven ferry crossings" on the south bank of the Yellow River in Baili, forming a group of ferry crossings, which has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times.After the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the world was unified, and Chang'an was the capital of the country. Therefore, water transportation on the Yellow River was prosperous. The Mengjin River section was the "marshalling station" for water transportation ships that communicated between Chang'an and Luoyang.

Under the heavy snow, countless soldiers and hedgehogs gathered at the ferry ports. The generals organized the soldiers to set foot on the simple pontoon bridge laid by the vanguard, and they crossed the Yellow River and reached the other side.

The pontoon bridge is erected on the floating ice. Due to the rush of time, it is inevitable that it is not strong enough. Soldiers and horses walk on it tremblingly. From time to time, soldiers fall under the bridge. If they are lucky, they will fall on the floating ice. If they are unlucky, they will fall directly into the ice. In the cracks, immersed in icy river water.

Huayuandu is located upstream of the "Seven Ferry Ports", where Qiu Xiaozhong's army and Xue Wanche's troops were assigned to cross the river. He rode his horse on the north bank of the Yellow River, watching the soldiers lead the horses onto the swaying pontoon bridge, and then looked not far away. Xue Wanche, who was also standing on horseback, had a flash of excitement in his eyes.

Turning his head, he nodded at the soldiers beside him.

The personal soldiers understood and rode forward to the shore, mixed with the troops crossing the river...

Qiu Xiaozhong rode to Xue Wanche's side and greeted him with a smile: "Although this east expedition has not been completed, the concubine has made great achievements many times. I think that after returning to Chang'an, he will be promoted to an official position, which is gratifying."

Xue Wanche looked away from the army that was crossing the river downstream in Mengjin, glanced at Qiu Xiaozhong, nodded and said, "We are just the pawns of Your Majesty, and we are just going forward. How dare we talk about merits? General Qiu lost his words."

His face is solemn, and he has the style of a celebrity.

Qiu Xiaozhong was a little embarrassed and a little annoyed in his heart. They all said that Xue Wanche was more powerful than Fang Jun. It seems that what he said was true. In the officialdom, aren't you holding me, I holding you, and everyone is carrying a sedan chair?I’m touting you here, it’s okay if you don’t appreciate it, instead you ridicule me, no wonder you were able to make words that clamored for the slaughter of the Qin palace…

But since it is a rambling product, the implementation of his plan becomes smoother and more stable.

With a smirk in his heart, he shut his mouth and looked at the army crossing the river with burning eyes.

Suddenly, some riots broke out among the neat and orderly river crossing teams. The troops in parallel lines stopped walking. There was a clamor. After a while, dozens of soldiers suddenly fell from the pontoon to the river, and many people fell into the river. The gap in the ice floes, and then countless people scuffled on the spot.

Xue Wanche's heart tightened, and he asked loudly, "What's going on?"

The pontoon bridge is narrow, and the army under his command Yu Qiu Xiaozhong's army crossed the river together. This riot would affect the speed of crossing the river. Once Li Ji was blamed, a punishment would be inevitable.

The soldiers left and right hurried to check.

Soon, instead, Qiu Xiaozhong's personal soldiers returned first, came to Qiu Xiaozhong, and reported loudly: "General Qi, when you Wuwei crossed the river, there were fights everywhere, and just now they pushed our soldiers into the river, causing the number of my army to be overwhelmed. Ten soldiers fell into the water, and although rescues were carried out, several people were still missing."

While the soldiers pay attention to military discipline, they are also murderous and unyielding. It is common for the various armies to compete with each other and not give in to each other.But at this moment, it was time to cross the river, and there was a fight that led to the disappearance of several people on the other side, which was really inappropriate.

Qiu Xiaozhong immediately looked sullen, raised the whip in his hand, pointed at Xue Wanche's nose, and shouted: "It's just unreasonable! Although You Wuwei has outstanding merits, can it be possible to bully Paoze and violate military discipline? General Xue's merit is high, but also You can't treat friendly troops as nothing! This matter is definitely not good, come and come, let's go to the British public to discuss the short and the long!"

With that said, he put down the whip in his hand, and actually reached out and grabbed Xue Wanche's rein...

Xue Wanche was completely stunned, but it was only because the soldiers were fighting for one party to fall into the water. What's the big deal?The stronger the army, the more arrogant and rebellious the soldiers will be. It is common for them to fight fiercely with friendly troops.

Why did Lao Tzu's You Wuwei bully Paoze?

What's more, I rely on Gong Gaojue to show that the friendly army is nothing... What's wrong with your head?

Xue Wanche was not soft-hearted. He stared at Qiu Xiaozhong with a pair of copper bell eyes. He grabbed Qiu Xiaozhong's hand that was holding the reins of the warhorse under his crotch, broke it with force, and shouted angrily, "Leave my hand away!"

He was very strong, and this time he shot with anger, but found that he easily broke Qiu Xiaozhong's hand, and then the opponent leaned forward and immediately rolled from the horse's back to the ground.

Xue Wanche: "..."

Even if Lao Tzu is as powerful as an ox, you, Qiu Xiaozhong, aren't just a piece of paper, right?
what is this...

As Qiu Xiaozhong fell from the horse, the soldiers behind him rushed forward with a "hula", each of them was furious and surrounded Xue Wanche.Xue Wanche's personal soldiers were startled, how could they allow their generals to be in danger?Then they stepped forward to block Xue Wanche in the middle, and even drew their swords to confront Qiu Xiaozhong's personal soldiers.

The two sides were at each other's throats, and the melee was about to break out.

Qiu Xiaozhong got up from the ground in embarrassment, shouted in anger, "Brothers, although the You Wuwei has more credit than us, we can't let them bully! Those who have eggs, follow Lao Tzu!"

"Here!"

The personal soldiers under his command were also filled with anger, and the soldier was finally honored. Seeing his general being thrown off his horse by Xue Wanche, how could he hold back?They drew their knives out of their sheaths and waited to follow Qiu Xiaozhong to dash forward.

"boom!"

A musket blasted, shocking both sides of the immediate conflict, they turned their heads to look, and saw a cavalry rushing not far away, the horses' hooves trampled the ground and the wind and snow raised countless ice slag and snow foam, menacingly. Murderous!
Then, the leader of the cavalry shouted from a distance, "Stop!"

Qiu Xiaozhong's heart skipped a beat, and when he heard that it was the voice of the Duke of Lu, Cheng Yaojin, he secretly wondered why this man appeared here?When he turned to look at Xue Wanche again, he put his hand on the hilt of the horizontal knife around his waist, he was in shock and hesitant to continue.

He and Guan Long Paoze had planned what happened today for a long time, only to cause chaos, cause turmoil, and incite the emotions of Guan Long's soldiers.Then the rest of the armies responded in groups and suddenly launched a mutiny. Even if Li Ji could not be killed, he could take the opportunity to break away from the large army and go west along the north bank of the Yellow River. Support the Guanlong army fighting against the East Palace.

But the sudden appearance of Cheng Yaojin made him hesitate.In the unlikely event that everything fails, and instead is suppressed by the left and right armed guards, there is no place to bury himself, and the family members of his children in Chang'an will not be able to survive.

After all, if you start a rebellion at this moment, you will be conspiring to rebel, and you will be punished for the death penalty!Even if Guan Long wins in the future, in order to maintain the stability of the army and ensure that the military discipline is clear, he will never be able to escape the crime.

While hesitating and struggling, Cheng Yaojin had already led thousands of cavalry to gallop, and surrounded the two men and horses with the roar of cries.

Cheng Yaojin sat upright on his horse, with his eyes wide open, pointing at the chaotic soldiers on the pontoon, and ordered: "Hurry up to organize the chaos, clear the road and cross the river quickly, don't cause large-scale riots, if anyone violates military discipline , shoot to kill!"

"Here!"

A lieutenant immediately led more than [-] people on horseback and went straight to the pontoon.

Cheng Yaojin then stared at Qiu Xiaozhong and Xue Wanche with bright eyes, and shouted: "You two are veteran generals, don't you know that private fights in the army are a serious crime against military discipline? It caused chaos in the entire army, and the crime should be punished!"

Xue Wanche had an innocent look on his face, arguing: "X didn't think about a private fight, there was chaos in the soldiers over there, this messy ball rushed up indiscriminately to pull the reins of X, X just resisted, and he was so angry that he wanted to fight. Life and death...it's just inexplicable."

He was full of grievances, thinking that Qiu Xiaozhong had taken the wrong medicine, right?It's just a mess of soldiers, how can you be so aggressive?

Cheng Yaojin fixed his eyes on Qiu Xiaozhong's face, without asking why, he said solemnly, "Tell your personal soldiers to lay down their weapons."

Qiu Xiaozhong was startled, and said quickly: "Lu Guogong Mingjian, but You Wuwei made a mistake in this matter first..."

"I told you to lay down your weapons!"

Cheng Yaojin shouted, and with a choking sound, he pulled out the horizontal knife from his waist, pointed the tip of the knife to Qiu Xiaozhong, and said word by word, "If you don't obey the order, Qiu Xiaozhong, will you be able to rebel?"

As soon as he said this, thousands of cavalrymen behind him rushed forward with a "hula", and surrounded Qiu Xiaozhong and Xue Wanche to death. It is the ending of ten thousand arrows piercing the heart, and chaotic knives dividing the corpse.

Xue Wanche felt that something was wrong no matter how confused he was. Even if the two armies were fighting each other, how could he turn his face and kill him so easily?And looking at Cheng Yaojin's attitude, it is obvious that he came prepared, and he was targeting Qiu Xiaozhong...

　The national team even had a draw against the Philippines... shivering.
