Shaohua is Junqing

Chapter 166

Shanzhou Camp.

"Something really happened in the capital." Beitang Mo Ran handed the secret letter to Su Xunxian and Yan Haiyun.

"King Hao is planning a rebellion. This is a big deal! How does this relate to the recent wars?" Su Xunxian said.

"Your Majesty suspects that King Hao and King Xiping are colluding with each other both internally and externally. The recent battles have been unusually smooth. Maybe the other side is deliberately creating confusion so that we will underestimate them and let down our guard so that they can act more smoothly." Yan Haiyun analyzed.

"General Dingyuan is right. The King of Xiping is a proponent of war and has always been at odds with his brother Mu Lian." Su Xunxian said.

"Although King Hao has private soldiers, their number is limited and not enough to accomplish anything. He must win over the forces of all parties to use them for his own purposes." Beitang Mo Ran said.

"It's okay for other people, but the military power must be controlled in our own hands, otherwise what can we use to fight." Su Xunxian said.

"The letter mentioned that His Royal Highness Prince Hao privately ordered the Zuowu Army to mobilize. This is the best proof." Yan Haiyun said.

"Your Highness, I have something important to report." The voice of Deputy General Zuo was heard outside the tent.

"Please come in."

"Your Highness, according to the scouts ahead, the Tuhun army broke camp two days ago and retreated more than a hundred miles to the northwest. They are now stationed in Xigou Town."

"Is the whole army evacuating?"

"The 30,000 troops originally stationed in He County have all been evacuated, and there are still 30,000 troops stationed in Xing County."

"I understand. Please continue to send people to investigate."

"Yes, I am resigning."

"What's the meaning of this? Are they really scared and want to retreat?" Su Xunxian was very confused.

"It's not that simple." Beitang Mo Ran said.

"I'm afraid it's a strategy to lure the enemy." Yan Haiyun said.

"Two generals."

"exist."

"Give the order to the entire army to stay put and wait and see what happens, but do not slack off in daily training and be in a state of combat readiness at all times."

"Yes, the general will take your orders."

Chu Shengnan and Bai Ruoshu led their people to the house in Datongfang.

"Commander-in-chief, the people are still inside." Cao Wu said.

"Very good, everyone listen up, go in and search, and capture the thief alive." Chu Shengnan gave an order, and a group of soldiers broke through the door and entered one after another.

Miao San and Dong Liuben were drinking tea in the house. When they heard the noise, they went out to check. As soon as they entered the yard, they were surrounded by soldiers.

The two men knew that the plan was exposed, but they did not want to surrender. They were men of the underworld, and they had to fight no matter what. In case they escaped by chance, they would not end up in disgrace and with their heads and bodies separated. Then the two men drew their swords and started fighting with the soldiers.

Miao and Dong have been in the underworld for many years and their methods are ruthless. Ordinary soldiers are no match for them. After a few rounds, many soldiers have fallen to the ground and lost their combat effectiveness. The purpose of Miao and Dong is to escape from here, so they don't want to get entangled with the soldiers too much and try their best to break out.

Chu Shengnan and Bai Ruoshu were standing at the gate. Seeing that the soldiers could not hold on, Chu Shengnan drew his sword and joined the battle. He instantly fought with Miao San. Bai Ruoshu was not idle either and started fighting with Dong Liu. The situation between the two sides changed immediately.

In the end, Dong Liu and Miao San were captured alive under the siege of Chu Shengnan, Bai Ruoshu and a group of officers and soldiers.

"Take them to the Ministry of Justice's prison and keep them under careful watch until they are dealt with."

Chu Shengnan interrogated Miao and Dong immediately. At first, the two remained silent, but in the face of evidence and Chu Shengnan's words, the two finally admitted to killing the imperial guards and participating in King Hao's rebellion.

Chu Shengnan wrote down her testimony and the process of handling the case and presented it to the emperor. At the same time, Yan Yanfeng also presented the information he found about Mu Lianchou to the emperor.

"So, King Hao is really planning a rebellion, and he has even found a powerful foreign aid. This is going to cause a huge upheaval!"

"This matter is of great importance. How should we deal with it?" Yan Yanfeng asked.

The emperor thought for a moment and said, "Qing Yan, take my tiger talisman and mobilize the Right Guards to station outside the city and build fortifications to protect the capital with all their strength to prevent the Tuhun Kingdom from invading."

"Yes, I obey the order."

"I will find a reason to summon Brother Hao to the palace tomorrow and try to detain him. Chu Qing, you will take my order and after Brother Hao enters the palace, secretly control Brother Hao's private soldiers under the pretext of defending the capital."

"Yes, I obey the order."
