You call this retreating into the world?

Chapter 95

Lingnan frontier camp.

At this moment, it is Shen Shi, the long night will pass, and the dawn will come quietly.

There is a gleam of light in the sky, brewing the meaning of day, and above the earth are endless fortresses.

There are a total of [-] frontier troops, but they are scattered in three large camps in Lingnan, and this is one of them.

But seeing the soldiers in strong and persistent clothes standing like iron, a chilling air permeated the air.

All of a sudden, the originally calm camp sounded like a thunderclap on the ground, and suddenly the chaotic horses screamed, and the sturdy soldiers wrapped in fine armor rushed to the commander's tent, slashed at their comrades with sharp knives, and kept shouting:
"General Cao acted according to the secret order of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. The rebel general Chen Liang colluded with the Baiyue tribe and plotted against him. All of them will be killed immediately, so as to upright the hearts of the people and the society! Don't ask others!"

These people obviously came prepared, swarmed in, killed all the guards on the outside, rushed into the commander's tent, and slashed randomly with their knives.

It was unlucky to say that Chen Liang, the battalion leader, heard the noise and was sleepy. He didn't know what happened to the outside world. He just scolded a few times, and saw Cao Jiuyun's soldiers coming with knives, looking at him with a ferocious and terrifying friendly smile.

"What are you going to do!? This general is the second-rank Dinglu town border general. You all want to rebel!"

Chen Liang saw that something was wrong, so he immediately came to his senses and confronted these people with his saber in his hand.

However, the only thing that greeted him was the cold light, and in an instant, a raging wave of soldiers came.

As a general, Chen Liang's kung fu honed in the battlefield is not bad, he has the skill of swimming dragons, but his fists can't stop the enemies.

However, when he walked out of the handsome tent, he saw that he was already surrounded.

Cao Jiuyun was riding on a horse, holding a yellow silk imperial decree, with stern eyes: "Chen Liang, as a frontier general of the imperial court, you have received the emperor's favor, and you don't want to repay it. You dare to collude with Baiyue to rebel, and your heart is to be punished! This battalion general Officer, anyone who is in cahoots with you, Chen Liang, will be executed by this general on the spot, and you will be arrested if you don't let go!"

Chen Liang was so angry that he gritted his back molars, "You are talking nonsense, someone is slandering me, I want to go to Beijing to tell the truth!"

"I'm afraid you have no chance, kill!" Cao Jiuyun waved his hand.

A torrent of soldiers came. Although Chen Liang carried a steel blade and beheaded several people in a row, his personal bravery was not worth mentioning in the face of thousands of troops. Soon he exhausted the true energy in his dantian, and his energy was exhausted. , was submerged in the raging soldiers.

Seeing this, Cao Jiuyun got off his horse, searched out Chen Liang's tiger talisman for mobilizing soldiers, and matched it with the other half of the tiger talisman he had forged, with a hint of pride on his lips.

The Tiger Talisman originally had two sides, half in the hands of the general and the other half in the Ministry of War. Only when the two sides fit together can it be effective, but for the Mingting Sect, it is not difficult to make fake Tiger Talisman soldiers.

"Although Chen Liang, the traitor, was punished, he was not the only one who conspired against the traitor. The entire battalion is under the command of this general at this moment. Fan Lang, the officer and lieutenant, immediately counted the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, and came with the general. Punishment for treason!"

Cao Jiuyun held up his forged imperial decree in one hand, and the complete tiger talisman in the other.

Both the imperial decree and the tiger talisman were there, representing the imperial court's order, even if someone questioned it, who would dare to say anything at this juncture.

He immediately dispatched his troops and rushed to another camp.

The camp where Chen Liang is located belongs to the main camp of the frontier army. The tiger talisman in his hand has the function of dispatching the entire Lingnan frontier army. He only needs to follow the same pattern to seize the military power, and then he can send troops to capture the pass in the north of Lingnan and kill this important link with the outside world. aisle.

Soon, he successfully took over the military power of the second camp, and led tens of thousands of troops to the third camp, which was also a military camp stationed at the third pass of Lingnan.

However, as soon as Cao Jiuyun's army arrived, he saw the army in the battalion set up a formation, relying on Xiongguan to deploy defenses, and aimed their weapons, bows and crossbows at Cao Jiuyun's army.

"Bold, this general is Cao Jiuyun, the commander-in-chief of the Zhennan Army. According to His Majesty's secret decree, he will kill traitors and traitors in the army, clean up internal troubles, and take over the defense of the three passes. Do you want to rebel?"

Seeing that the formation was wrong, Cao Jiuyun strengthened his voice with true energy and shouted loudly.

The two armies looked at each other from a distance, and saw a dignified and charming woman walking out of the opposite barracks, also holding the imperial decree, and said with a disdainful smile: "Uncle Cao Guo of the Mingting Sect, your ability to turn black and white is really true!" No way."

At the same time that Cao Jiuyun was in trouble, Chu Yunsheng, who was riding fast on land, also rushed to Lingnan, and handed over the real imperial edict to the garrison generals.

It's really half a step away, and Cao Jiuyun's plot may succeed.

The general was dubious at first, but then a scout came to report and found that there was a mighty army coming from the south, and it was not acting under the banner of Chen Liang, but Cao Jiuyun, who was supposed to be the deputy general, claimed to be the current commander of the Zhennan Army , acting suspiciously.

"Sure enough, there are ghosts!"

He immediately ordered the formation to be set up, and the two armies faced each other to prevent Cao Jiuyun's troops from approaching.

Cao Jiuyun frowned slightly. He didn't know how the news of the Mingting sect's rebellion was so hidden, how it leaked out, but now that the arrow was on the line, he couldn't care less. In order to block the soldiers and horses of the subsequent court.

War is imminent!
But in Guangfu City, night fell.

The governor of Lingnan has just received Xia Buddy and Chen Wanjun, as well as the Southern Tang navy generals who followed.

"Everyone is serious, this is not a trivial matter." The governor confirmed repeatedly.

Although the Baiyue tribe in the south of the Five Ridges used to be extremely arrogant and recalcitrant, they were already very obedient and obedient under the teachings of the Tang Dynasty. The head is hung on the city gate.

Since he took office, he has not experienced any major events at all. The policy focuses on the governance of people's livelihood.

But at this time, there was a lot of disturbance in the city, and someone came to report: "Master Governor, there are riots in the city, and there are about 3000 people in a mighty force, heading towards the arsenal!"

The arsenal is the place where the city hoards weapons and armaments, and it is very important.

Hearing this, Han Xiao immediately realized that something was wrong, and exclaimed, "Oops, this means that the Ming Court Sect's action is ahead of schedule!"

"This...how should this be done?" The governor was in a hurry.

But Xia Baobao smiled lightly, and nodded to Chen Wanjun and Gao Xing who were beside him.

"These 3000 people are just an appetizer. It is estimated that the army of the Underworld Sect is already on the way. Let's go, let's show the Governor."

I clapped my hands happily, full of anticipation, "Master, I have been practicing in my room these days, just waiting for this opportunity to express myself. Although these 3000 people are just appetizers, you are not allowed to compete with me, come on!" You won't allow me to take action if you clean up those people for the first time, how boring it is."

Xia Buddy said: "That's fine, let's see how capable you are."

Jumping up happily, eager to try.
