Chapter 1434 No one can escape
Xindu's Inner Sixth Army should have a nominal strength of around 8 troops, but the actual strength is in the early [-]s.Except for the Chinese Army of the Forbidden Garden Suwei and the chariots and cavalry of the Xindu City Defense, the other armies are short of more than half, especially the Longxiang Army, which was destroyed in Henan earlier and has now been rebuilt, has only a pitiful thousand soldiers. force.

But even so, the Sixth Army can still be said to be the army with the highest combat effectiveness in Xiajie country.At the very least, the equipment and weapons of these soldiers can be kept complete and complete, and they can also get a relatively sufficient amount of food and supplies.

The corresponding foreign six armies, although theoretically many times more troops, but in fact, except for special generals, some of them only have banners, and even have no soldiers to use.

Probably to show his trust and importance to the Sixth Army, or just want to reminisce about the years when he lived with the soldiers and fought with the soldiers, the gold and the iron horse, and the magnificent years. Since the beginning of winter, the Capricorn Lord Shihu has been patrolling the interior from time to time. The Sixth Army sometimes entered the barracks directly.

Before the upheaval, the officials in the country didn't care much about it.As the New Year's Ceremony is getting closer, some people expect to get more rewards from the Ceremony, while others are unwilling to obtain too eye-catching official titles.No matter what the intention is, under the calm surface of the letter, there are secret conspiracies happening almost all the time, collusion and alliance, party and dissent, and everyone is working hard to achieve their own intentions.

As for the lord's patrolling of the six internal armies, it has happened from time to time recently, and it can't be said to be a rare event, so naturally there are not many followers.And after the news came, almost all the officials of the Jie Kingdom who were qualified to know the matter at the first time felt in danger!

Xindu is the ruling core of the Jie Kingdom, where the heavy army gathers. It can be said that it is the base camp of the Jie Kingdom.So all those who got the news rushed to the Longteng barracks where the Lord was assassinated, regardless of whether they had important matters at hand or what they were busy with.

When everyone arrived at the Longteng barracks, they found that the inside and outside of the barracks had already been tightly sealed, and the barracks had already been controlled by the soldiers of the Chinese army who had heard the news earlier, and no one was allowed to enter the barracks.

All of a sudden, the Longteng Barracks on the southeast side of Xindu City was overcrowded. All the dignitaries of the Jie Kingdom who had heard the news gathered here. Because of the strong resistance of the soldiers of the Chinese Army, no one was able to enter the camp. As for the specific process of the assassination, it is not even known whether the master is alive or dead.

"We are all the servants of the lord, and we are shocked to hear the bad news. Why are we not allowed to enter and ask An Gong?"

At the front of the crowd, Zhao Shu, the servant of Zhongshu, was fighting with the defenders of the Chinese army. Around him, there were also a group of civil servants, all glaring at the brave and fierce Chinese soldiers.

These civil servants usually gathered in the third hall to work, and because they got the news early, they rushed here immediately, but when they arrived, the barracks had been sealed off, and no one could enter or leave.Some people tried to break in, but were beaten out by the camp guards with sticks, and many people were injured as a result.

In addition to these civil servants, the generals who commanded their own armies to defend the city also came one after another, and even the generals of the six armies outside the city also tried their best to get here.

Compared with the civil servants who were panicked and anxious, standing at the forefront and trying to rush in, these generals did not react so violently, and each of them had a varying number of guards behind them.Even the lord was ambushed and assassinated, which shows that the current letter is not safe. These generals may be arrogant and domineering, but they will not neglect their own safety.

Although they were not in a hurry to go forward and make noise, they all stayed nearby and never left. There were also many latecomers who asked the colleagues who arrived here first for details, but none of them could explain the shocking process clearly.

The noise of the civil servants was in stark contrast to the restraint of the generals. It seemed that those arrogant and domineering generals suddenly changed their temperament and became humble.But if you observe carefully, you will find that there seems to be an inexplicable complex atmosphere permeating these generals, and there is no lack of suspicion beyond the shock, and even mutual suspicion.

Although the camp was completely sealed off, the people present did not know the details of the assassination.But one thing is certain, Xindu is the base camp of the Jie Kingdom. Although the hundreds of thousands of troops inside and outside are somewhat exaggerated, with so many eyes and ears intertwined, it is absolutely certain that there will be no large-scale spies of the Jin army sneaking into the city.

In particular, the place where the Lord was assassinated was in the barracks of the Sixth Army, and it was even more certain that no outsider with ulterior motives would approach the Lord.Since it wasn't an invasion by a foreign enemy, it is natural to be sure that this matter must be done by an internal thief!
Once this is established, things get complicated.Who is the thief?What is the intention?How could he approach the Lord so easily?
Recently, as the New Year's Ceremony is approaching, the situation in Xindu seems to be stable, but the undercurrent is surging, especially some rumors about the military situation in the west, all of which make people shudder and creepy!

Compared with those civil servants who have almost no military power in their hands, these generals have stronger appeals and a sense of crisis. Even the arrogant and fierce people dare not stand out arbitrarily at this moment to avoid being too noticeable.

But not daring to stand out does not mean that they have no curiosity about it.In fact, they are more eager than anyone to find out more.But right now, the Chinese army is controlling the scene, with an attitude of denying their relatives and showing their butcher knife at any time, which really makes people dare not take any radical actions.

In the current military establishment of the Jie Kingdom, the Chinese Army of the Six Inner Armies is definitely the Lord's number one confidant.The leader of the army is Wang Shijian of Wuyi, the oldest among the masters and subordinates. The lieutenant generals and captains are all brave veterans who have experienced many battles. , and the soldiers are all selected for elite soldiers who dare to charge forward.

The Chinese army only obeys the orders of the lord, and the rest of the generals, no matter how high their positions are, have no right to dispatch their troops, and their loyalty to the lord is unquestionable.With such an army defending the camp, even if the generals of the other twelve armies came here, they would not dare to violate the ban and rush to the camp.

As for the Longteng Army whose Lord was assassinated, it was a relatively special existence among the Six Inner Armies. It was not known for its combat effectiveness, but the soldiers and generals who made up this army were all the children of the rich and powerful in the country. The nephew of the family of the ministers.

The assassination of the lord this time, the reason why it is so touching, even many retired officials who have not been seen for a long time, all rushed here, is because the place where the assassination took place is so important!

If the Lord was assassinated elsewhere, it would certainly shock the hearts of the people in the country, but for some people who have already faded out of the current situation, they would not be so nervous.

Especially as the country's situation is declining, it is declining with an almost irreversible momentum, and the Jie Lord Shihu is far from being a benevolent monarch, and there are many people who have already had the idea of ​​​​surrendering to Jin. If people hear the news of Shi Hu's assassination, they may still have secretly happy thoughts in their hearts.

But the Capricorn Lord was assassinated in the Dragon Army, which made the situation extremely complicated.

The Jin army's offensive was fierce. In order to reorganize the army to resist the Jin army's offensive, Jie State can be said to be militaristic and vigorous.Naturally, these officials and powerful families who moved to Xindu with Jiezhu were unavoidable, and their children were also conscripted into the army. In order to take the meaning of helping the country together.

In other words, if the Lord's assassination is related to the Long Teng Army, then none of the dignitaries in the country will be immune to the incident!Whether in power or not in power.In particular, there is no news in the camp at the moment, and naturally everyone is in danger, and there is a torment waiting to be judged and slaughtered in their hearts!
As time went by, more and more people from the Jie Kingdom rushed here after hearing the news.In order to prevent accidents, in addition to the soldiers of the Chinese army who had already entered the camp, the Cheqifu soldiers who were in charge of the city defense also continued to increase their troops after blocking the four gates of the city.

In the end, the outside of the Longteng Army camp was already overcrowded.If at this time, a Jin army suddenly kills here and captures all the people present, then the so-called Jie country will no longer exist!

People outside the camp were anxious, and the atmosphere inside the camp was equally heavy and depressing to the extreme.

The large tents in the center of the Longteng barracks are also the key points of defense for the soldiers of the Chinese army. Around the big tent in the middle, there are a total of [-] armored soldiers guarding the inner and outer rings. The soldiers stand here, shoulder to shoulder, almost weatherless. through.And this is where the royal driver stopped after the assassination of Shihu, the king of Wuyi, and Shijian, the king of Wuyi, led his troops to defend here.

On both sides of this big tent, there is a tent, each guarded by nearly a thousand Chinese soldiers, of which nearly a hundred generals and captains of the Longteng Army are detained in the west camp, and a group of escorts are in the east camp.

Compared with the chilling and oppressive outside, the atmosphere in the camp on the east side is a little more relaxed. More than 20 civil and military officials from the Jie Kingdom gathered here. Unlike those people who were isolated outside the camp, they were completely out of control, and there were quite a few people gathered together in small groups to whisper and talk in a low voice.

Zhang Jack was among these 20 people, he didn't join in the discussion of his colleagues, he sat alone in a corner of the tent, his eyes were slightly closed, as if he was in a deep sleep, and his face was so calm that it was almost numb.But if he opened the table in front of him and took a look at the two fists on his knees, he would find that the fists were filled with cold sweat, which had almost soaked his robe!

After the assassination incident, the Lord was retreated into the big tent by the imperial guards, and all of them were also driven here.Nearly two hours have passed, and the camp here seems to have been forgotten by the world, and there is no news about it.And the more so, the more Zhang Jack felt that the danger was approaching his head like Mount Tai, and it might crash down at any moment, crushing him to pieces!
It wasn't until after the lights were turned on that there was some commotion outside the big tent, and more than a dozen soldiers filed in to deliver meals into the tent.Hearing these sounds, Zhang Jack slowly opened his eyes, as if he had just woken up from a doze, wiped the wet palms under his knees without any trace, got up and went up to choose a meal, and walked back and forth for a long time before he stood up. In front of a fish soup, he raised his hand to signal the soldier to bring the dishes to his case.

"It's frosty and cold at night, and the family may not be able to close the door tightly. It's a pity that they can't go home and order."

After returning to the table, Zhang Jack suddenly stretched out his hand, and while the soldier was leaning over to serve the dishes, he suddenly stuffed a jade ring around his waist into the soldier's palm, and at the same time raised his eyes to look at him, his gaze was sharp at first, then became heavy, and finally There was a strong begging.

The soldier hooked it casually, and the jade ring in his hand fell into his sleeve, and then he removed the lacquerware that delivered the food, and walked out of the tent with other soldiers at a steady pace.
