The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 784
When Zhao Yanxun led the vassal kings to the ancestral temple to worship, Yang Hongwen, who had hurried south from Rongcheng, also came outside the barracks at this moment.

Although stationed hastily, the army has been stationed here for several days, and the corresponding camps have been set up, forming a complete defense system.

"who?"

"I...Yang Hongwen!"

After the hundred households guarding the gate carefully inspected it, they finally confirmed that the extremely embarrassed person in front of them was the commander of the Lingbei Metropolitan Division.

Baihu hurriedly ordered his subordinates to open the door, and the colleague complained: "My lord, you have come back, and now the camp is in chaos!"

"All those things? How could it be a mess!" Yang Hongwen said coldly.

How did it become a mess?Of course, the officials above are fighting among themselves, but this kind of thing is not something that small households can discuss.

So the hundred households changed the subject and said: "My lord, King Ning sent someone here this morning, and they are discussing matters in the Central Army!"

Seeing that the hundred households could not say anything, Yang Hongwen stopped asking, anyway, he already had his own idea.

When he entered the barracks, at the moment in the big tent of the Chinese army, several commanders and his minister Liu Cheng were discussing matters with the people sent by King Ning.

At this moment, the discussion has reached a deadlock, and there is silence in the military tent.

"I said, everyone, this is the meaning of the prince, do you want to disobey?"

Seeing that everyone was silent, Hu Chengwen, as the head of the palace, began to use King Ning to suppress everyone in the tent.

Seeing that the other commanders were silent, Liu Cheng could only reply: "Lord Hu, it's not that we want to disobey the prince, but that the military order must not be violated!"

"That's right. At the beginning, the Lord Commander ordered us to garrison here. If there was no order from the Lord Commander, how would we dare to move?"

"Military orders are like a mountain, Mr. Hu wants to explain the situation to the prince, and be considerate of us people!"

Several high-ranking officials of the Lingbei Army became united for a while, and they really looked like good generals who obeyed the law.

But in fact, this is not the case at all. The reason why they refused to cross the river was because it was not beneficial.

Not only was there no benefit, but if they crossed the river first, they would have to fight the Yong army at the front, and the danger would be greatly increased.

In their view, even if they had to cross the river, everyone had to cross it together so that the water in the bowl would be level.

Hu Chengwen is not stupid, he knows the thoughts of the Lingbei Army, so he continued: "The prince said, I just want you to cross the river first, occupy the city and gain a firm foothold, and fight together when the reinforcements arrive!"

"My lord also said that the one who crosses the river first this time will be rewarded, and the benefits will be indispensable in the future!"

But these empty words, how can they impress people like Lingbei Dusi.

Seeing that everyone still didn't say a word, Hu Chengwen could only continue to say: "Everyone, if you don't obey the king's order, I'm afraid that my elders in the south will doubt your loyalty to the prince!"

I have to say, this sentence is extremely lethal.

All their troops rely on the southern gentry to provide supplies and food. These people are deeply connected, and they are all high-ranking officials and dare not easily offend them.

If they were cut off the food and grass, it was terrible that they would be torn apart by the soldiers under their command before they brought their cronies back to grab the food.

Seeing that everyone showed signs of letting go, Hu Chengwen went on to say: "Everyone is afraid of violating military laws, but Yang Hongwen has already been killed, so how can you violate his military laws?"

I said this not to emphasize that Yang Hongwen is dead, but to put a step down for everyone present.

Yang Hongwen has not returned for half a month. In this time of chaos, it is normal to say that he is dead.

"Well, since Mr. Hu has said everything..."

Liu Cheng spoke, but before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a voice from outside the military tent.

"Who said I'm dead?"

This voice was familiar to everyone present except Hu Chengwen.

The next moment, Yang Hongwen walked into the military tent, which greatly surprised everyone.

"My lord, you are back!"

Liu Cheng is the happiest. When Yang Hongwen comes back, he can take off the burden and don't have to do those thankless things.

At this time, Yang Hongwen put on new clothes, but his face was still stained and his hair was messy, which seemed a bit out of harmony.

"Who said I was dead just now?" Yang Hongwen said coldly.

Although he was asking who said it, Yang Hongwen's eyes directly turned to Hu Chengwen.

The latter had no choice but to get up, and said with embarrassment: "Yang Dushi, I made a slip of the tongue, please forgive me!"

"Who are you?" Yang Hongwen asked again.

Liu Cheng quickly explained: "My lord, he is King Ning..."

Before Liu Cheng could finish speaking, Yang Hongwen said in a cold tone, "Let him speak for himself!"

Seeing Yang Hongwen get angry, Hu Chengwen felt frightened for a moment, fearing that these Qiu Ba would commit crimes.

"Yang Dushi, this official is Ning Wangfu Chief Shi, and I am here on the king's order to order your Lingbei army to cross the river!"

Looking back, Yang Hongwen asked in a stern tone: "King Ning's order? Why does he order me?"

This attitude not only shocked Hu Chengwen, but also shocked several other people in the tent.

King Ning was pushed out by the southern gentry, and Yang Hongwen's refusal to accept King Ning was tantamount to confronting the southern gentry.

"Your Excellency...you have to be careful!" A commander comforted, he was very worried that Yang Hongwen's impulsiveness would implicate them as well.

"Speak carefully what? What cautiously?"

"His grandma's, a vassal who is far away from the imperial family, not honestly guarding his own back cover, and now dares to make an enemy of the court... How the hell is it?"

"A traitor like Zhao Yongshen is a scourge to the world, and everyone will punish him if he gets it!"

"I didn't go to suppress him as a traitor, so he should have had fun secretly, and wanted to order me..."

After hearing Yang Hongwen's head-scratching words, everyone present immediately petrified. They all thought Yang Hongwen was crazy.

The next moment, only Yang Hongwen drew out his saber, and under Hu Chengwen's horrified gaze, he swung the saber and slashed at him.

The knife was so abrupt that Hu Chengwen had no time to react, so he was stabbed so coldly.

The screams in the military tent attracted the soldiers on duty outside, and then they saw the murderous Yang Hongwen.

The others were dumbfounded at the moment, but Yang Hongwen knew what he was doing.

"go out!"

After being scolded by him, the soldiers who came in immediately retreated, leaving only a few senior officers in the military tent.

Hu Chengwen was screaming, his life was passing away.

Finally, a command envoy asked loudly, "You Yang, are you crazy?"

Yang Hongwen's killing of Prince Ning's Chief Shi was tantamount to breaking with the Southern Group, and in the minds of the commanders, it was tantamount to seeking his own death.

It's fine for Yang Hongwen to seek death, but they are likely to be implicated in this matter, so they can't hold back their inner thoughts.

Others are also "watching", obviously if Yang Hongwen says something wrong, these people will get rid of him first.

"I'm not crazy!"

"Three days ago... Rongcheng was destroyed!"

"It took less than half an hour for the Yong army to attack Rongcheng, and the [-] defenders would collapse at the first touch!"

Speaking of this, Yang Hongwen said with horror, he recalled the explosion that day.

"Yong's army is so strong that no one in the world can stop it. If you and I fight against King Yong, we are courting death!"

"Master Yang was joking for half an hour?" Liu Cheng couldn't believe it.

Yang Hongwen sneered: "There are only 1 Yong soldiers attacking the city!"

"The Yong army is invincible. If you don't want to die or harm your family, you should wake up now!"

"What kind of feudal lords, that's just Zhao Yongshen's empty words, and the swords of the Yong army are stretched out to our necks!"

"Think about it, you can defeat hundreds of thousands of imperial court troops in two months, such an army... Is it possible for us meddlesome fish to fight against it?"
