Chapter 786 Suspected Death
The three commanders of the Taisho Imperial Army, Luo Yunfei, Qiu Jie, and Jing Zhaoheng, all frowned after receiving the imperial edict from Emperor Zhao Zheng.
These pirates used to annoy them so much that they now had a cooperative relationship with them.
After careful consideration, the three of them submitted their own memorials.
Express your opinions.
However, the three people have one thing in common: if Lin Feng no longer appears, the Taisho Imperial Army will immediately launch an attack.
Zhao Zheng was also helpless about this and could only wait for news from Zhenxi.
Just as everyone was looking forward to it, an uncertain news finally came from Zhenxi.
After being seriously injured, Lin Feng did not appear for many days and was suspected to be dead.
This news reached the Daimong and Taisho courts almost at the same time.
The three commanders of the Taisho Imperial Army were still hesitant because the news was uncertain.
However, Prince Rui Zhao Xun and Prince Lu Zhao Bing in Kyoto City had reached a consensus. They both agreed that if they asked Taoist Master Zhen from Yuquan Temple to take action, the matter would definitely be accomplished without any problem.
Because they all knew what kind of place Yuquan Temple was and what kind of immortal figure Taoist Master Zhen was.
Therefore, as long as Taoist Zhen finds Lin Feng and injures him, there is almost no chance that Lin Feng will die.
The two men made an appointment and went to the palace to see the emperor at the same time, requesting that Ma Buxuan be immediately appointed as the commander of the Imperial Guard, and that four generals, Zhao Shuo, Zhao Gui, Ju Chaoyue and Wei Ming, assist Ma Buxuan and take full control of the Imperial Guard.
The Imperial Guard Battalion will cooperate fully. Anyone who disobeys orders will be arrested on the spot, and anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy.
Emperor Zhao Zhen was still hesitant, but facing the two princes, he did not refuse too much and immediately asked Zhu Qisheng to draft the edict.
Then, the palace eunuch Zhu Qisheng will go to Kuncheng to make Xuan paper, and the commander of the Imperial Guard, Zhao Fengchun, will gather 5,000 soldiers and horses to accompany him as guards.
Zhu Qisheng stood in the Kuncheng Command Center and read the imperial edict. Ma Buxuan stood up and took the edict, then turned around and looked at the dumbfounded Hu Jincai with a smile.
Hu Jincai also received a secret report from Zhenxi. Although it did not say that Lin Feng was dead, it confirmed the fact that Lin Feng was missing.
Without Lin Feng's strong support, Hu Jincai was also confused.
The imperial edict clearly stated that Ma Buxuan would take over as the commander of the Imperial Guards, and he would be the deputy commander. Should he obey his orders or not?
Before leaving, Lin Feng told me to withstand the pressure, maintain stability in the current situation, and wait for his return.
However, the boss was missing and seriously injured.
There are crazy rumors outside now, saying that Lin Feng has already died from serious injuries.
Although Hu Jincai didn't believe it, he couldn't help but hesitate.
With his own abilities, he could not compete with the Dazong court at all. He did not have Lin Feng's courage or appeal.
Not to mention the Imperial Guards, even the Zhenxi Army was divided into two parts, north and south.
Will the generals of the Zhenxi Army guarding the capital obey his orders and rise up to fight against the court?
Ma Buxuan walked up to Hu Jincai who was in a daze and knocked on the table with his hand.
"Deputy Commander Hu, what are you thinking about?"
Hu Jincai looked up in surprise, and came to his senses after a moment.
"Commander Ma, what's going on?"
"Immediately take General Ju Chaoyue and General Wei Ming to Zhen and Li cities and order them to take full control of the city defense forces. No mistakes are allowed."
Hu Jincai frowned and said, "The commander has given the order, and the two generals will just take over."
"All of you generals in Zhenxi obey your orders. Deputy Commander Hu must come forward."
Ma Buxuan's face was serious, as if he was going to take ruthless action if his orders were not obeyed.
"Commander-in-Chief, changing generals in the middle of a battle like this is a serious taboo."
"Don't try to play tricks on me. The two sides are in a stable period, so there's no taboo about exchanging anything."
Hu Jincai had no choice but to get up.
"Okay, you are the commander, you have the final say."
Before he walked out the door, he heard Ma Buxuan shouting behind him.
"Also, have Li Donglai and Lin Qiaomei lead the troops back to Kuncheng."
Hu Jincai frowned: "Commander Ma, are you going to give up the defense along the river?"
Ma Buxuan said in a deep voice: "This is an order."
Hu Jincai was helpless: "Since it's the commander's order, just send someone to pass it on."
"This commander wants you to deliver a message."
Hu Jincai strode out of the room, came to the gate of the compound, called his guards, gathered his troops, mounted his horse and left.
Just outside the east gate of Kuncheng, Generals Ju Chaoyue and Wei Ming were waiting on the side, with wry smiles on their faces, looking at Hu Jincai eagerly.
Hu Jincai waved his hand and asked the two to come closer.
"Only General Luo Shidong's 30,000 Southern Frontier Troops are stationed in Zhencheng and Licheng. The rest of the Imperial Guards are mostly concentrated in the riverside defense camp outside Lindu. You two should go into the city first and arrange for the Southern Frontier Troops to deploy their defenses."
Ju Chaoyue asked awkwardly, "Deputy Commander Hu, we're taking over two citadels. I wonder if General Li and General Lin will be unhappy?"
Hu Jincai waved his hand: "The imperial edict is here. What can they do if they are unhappy? Let's go quickly."
"However, the Zhennan Border Army is General Luo's direct force and will definitely not obey our orders."
Wei Ming said embarrassedly.
Hu Jincai smiled and said, "I have a say in the Zhenxi Army, but as for the Zhennan Army, you guys can handle it yourselves."
The two were stunned. What should they do?
It is estimated that Luo Shidong will not hand over his troops easily, and it will not work to force Hu Jincai to go.
At this time, King Rui's order was once again transmitted to Kuncheng Command Center.
Order: Zhao Shuo is in charge of Gencheng, Kancheng and Xuncheng, and Zhao Gui assists him.
Ju Chaoyue governed Zhencheng and Licheng.
Wei Ming took over Duicheng and Qiancheng.
The commander of the Imperial Guards, Ma Buxuan, was stationed in Kuncheng, in charge of the defense of the eight citadels.
King Rui's orders were sent to the command headquarters of each Acropolis.
Hu Jincai immediately received inquiries from the commanders of various camps.
Cui Ying from Kancheng, Chu Jiao from Xuncheng, Shao Yihan from Qiancheng, and Gong Sanpao from Duicheng all sent people over to ask what was going on.
There are only about 5,000 garrison troops stationed in each citadel, with a total of 30,000 troops. Together with the 30,000 troops stationed in the camp of Li Donglai and Lin Qiaomei in Jinjiang, the total number is 60,000.
There were still 20,000 troops stationed in Lindu, with a total of 80,000 Imperial Guards, including nearly 20,000 Zhenxi Army, which were then mixed into the Kyoto Imperial Guards by Lin Feng.
If the 30,000 soldiers of Zhennan Army and the 20,000 soldiers of Zhenxi Army were withdrawn, the entire Kyoto Imperial Guard would be less than 60,000 soldiers.
There was no choice, the order had arrived, Ju Chaoyue and Wei Ming each ran towards the designated Acropolis.
Zhao Shuo also sent messengers to the Weicheng under his jurisdiction to pass on the order, summoning the commanders of each camp to go to Gencheng for a meeting.
Hu Jincai wrote down the details and sent someone to deliver it to Li Donglai and Lin Qiaomei, asking them to hold back for the time being and wait for the situation to change.
The commanders of the other camps also responded to all changes with a calm and composed attitude, waiting for the return of their leader.
Ju Chaoyue has already brought his men to Zhencheng.
Wei Ming still followed Hu Jincai and refused to go to Duicheng and Qiancheng by himself. The two commanders there would not give him any face at all.
Hu Jincai took Wei Ming directly to Cannes.
Cui Ying is stationed in Cannes, and she is the only uncertain factor.
