My house was confiscated and I was exiled. I emptied the emperor's warehouse and fled.

The candlelight in the military tent flickered, bright and dark.

The military advisor frowned and said with worry: "The rebel army used the road to attack Youzhou, but who would have thought that they would turn against the Qin army and directly join the Qin army.

In this case, wouldn't we be equivalent to encouraging the power of the Qin family army in disguise? If Your Majesty takes the blame, General, you must make preparations early! "

General Zhu was filled with anxiety, and his face became more solemn after hearing this: "With the current strength of our army, we cannot compete with it. Now that the Qin family's army has added tens of thousands of troops, this battle will become even more difficult to fight."

When the rebel army used the road to pass, he did not want to waste his troops to fight with them, so he closed the city gate tightly and allowed them to go around outside the city. He also wrote a letter to inform the Youzhou Prefecture, asking them to respond early, hoping that Qin Junyi could understand His difficulties.

Jizhou has suffered from years of drought and food harvests, and the imperial court has been in arrears with military pay for a long time. To stop the rebel army, a huge price must be paid.

Now that the rebel army has merged with the Qin family army, his situation is embarrassing.

After such inaction, now that I surrender, I don’t know what kind of treatment I will receive.

Just when the two of them looked at each other tacitly and considered joining the Qin family as a retreat, there was a noise outside.

The emperor's fifth gold medal arrived at the military camp like a gust of wind, and ordered the Jizhou camp to quickly send troops to encircle and suppress the rebel Qin family army.

It turned out that despite the raging locust plague, although the court went through great pains to raise a batch of disaster relief funds, due to layers of exploitation by officials at all levels, there was not much left in the end.

Local food prices have soared to alarming heights. After these meager sums are used to purchase food, they have little effect on alleviating the plight of the victims.

However, at this critical moment, the Qin family stepped forward and carried out large-scale disaster relief activities, winning the heartfelt support of the general public.

The source of this disaster relief food came from Su Yunwan's space storage, the royal private treasury and the granary of the prime minister's family.

It can also be regarded as taking it from the people and using it for the people in disguise.

After hearing the news, many displaced people moved eastward to Youzhou to join the Qin family.

When the new emperor received the news, Long Yan was furious. He took action and issued an order to the Wu Yiwei in an unquestionable tone: "Let the Jizhou army stop the expansion of Qin Junyi's power immediately! They must not be allowed to develop!"

At the moment, facing the emperor's strict order, General Zhu helplessly sighed to the Wuyiwei who came to deliver the order: "It's not that the general is unwilling to send troops, you should also know that when leading troops in war, the emphasis is on "the troops and horses are not moved, the food and grass go first." , but now our camp has not even received any of last year’s military pay, and the soldiers are almost out of food. Where is the extra food and grass to support a war? "

There is no reason to want a horse to run and not eat grass at the same time!

However, everyone knows the truth, but the emperor poured resources into the northwest and could not give the Jizhou Army the military pay they deserved. He was also afraid of the Jizhou Army's repeated disobedience and issued an ultimatum.

Zuo Yang, the black-clothed guard who delivered the order, made a decisive decision, took out an imperial edict and read it loudly: "By God's decree, the emperor decreed that Zhu Chengping, the general of the Jizhou camp, supported his own troops and blatantly violated the emperor's order. He was captured immediately and escorted back to Beijing." He was put on trial. The Jizhou camp was temporarily taken over by Zuo Yang, the deputy commander of Wuyiwei."

Zhu Chengping's eyes widened and he shouted in a loud voice: "Let's see who dares!"

But Zuo Yang was not afraid at all. Instead, he laughed coldly and said slowly: "General Zhu, you should think about your family members in the capital first..."

Upon hearing these words, Zhu Chengping's face instantly turned pale and weak. He clenched his fists tightly and his body was trembling slightly.

In the end, Zhu Chengping sighed helplessly, loosened his clenched fists, and planned to surrender.

"General!" Following the shout of the military advisor, several fully armed soldiers rushed into the spacious and solemn tent like a gust of wind. They held sharp swords and radiated cold light, aiming directly at Zuo Yang and others.

At the same time, there was a commotion outside the camp. Many soldiers under Zhu Chengping could not accept that their respected general was taken away. For a moment, the crowd was so angry that they could not restrain themselves and rushed to the surroundings of the camp.

Faced with the chaotic situation in front of him, Zhu Chengping suppressed the grief and anger in his heart and shouted to the soldiers: "Stop it, general!"

This loud shout was like a thunderous explosion, shocking everyone present.

The originally restless soldiers suddenly calmed down, and all their eyes turned to Zhu Chengping.

Zhu Chengping took a deep breath and continued: "My fellow soldiers, you are all soldiers, and you must always keep in mind the military regulations and disciplines! No matter who is in charge of the camp, don't forget to abide by the military orders. Now, please return to your respective posts immediately. No slack at all!”

After saying these words, Zhu Chengping turned his back to the soldiers with unwilling faces, his eyes showed a perseverance and forbearance: "The last general...accepted the order."

"Those who know the current affairs are heroes, I admire Zuo!" Zuo Yang smiled strangely, waved his hand, and several subordinates immediately came out and led Zhu Chengping out of the camp.

It would be a long night and many dreams, so they put Zhu Chengping into a prison car and rushed to the capital overnight.

In the middle of the night, when the escort team passed by the foot of a mountain, a group of unknown people dressed in night clothes rushed down from the mountain and launched an ambush.

It turned out that Qin Junyi had long expected that the new emperor would jump over the wall in a hurry, and secretly dispatched a capable team to pay close attention to the movements of the Jizhou camp.

After learning that Zhu Chengping had fallen into the hands of the Wu Yiwei, they quickly planned and deployed rescue activities and set up an ambush on the only way to escort him back to Beijing.

After a fierce and cruel life and death struggle, Zhu Chengping was successfully rescued.

At this moment, Zhu Chengping was filled with gratitude, but at the same time he was also worried: "Are my family members who stayed in the capital safe and sound?"

The leading soldier comforted him: "I have already sent a message to the capital and will do my best to ensure the safe transfer of your family members."

Hearing this, Zhu Chengping breathed a sigh of relief, straightened his back suddenly, and said with high spirits: "Now that we have come to this point, we might as well go back to the camp immediately and kill those black-clad guards."

"Okay! I'm just waiting for your words, let's go!" The leading soldier praised, everyone got on their horses and galloped towards the camp.
