The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 247 The Threat of Mutiny
When Cao Ren returned to his commander's mansion, it was already night, and two red lanterns had been hung in front of the mansion, swaying gently in the breeze, so that the guards in front of the gate turned red. .

Cao Ren brought Man Chong into the room together, and the two of them hurried to Cao Ren's study without even taking a bite of the meal, and ordered that no one should be disturbed.Only then did Cao Ren tell Man Chong everything about him and Liu Chan.

Man Chong was shocked when he heard that.Because the conditions proposed by Liu Chan are too tempting for Cao Jun in Fancheng now, and the other party has not made any demands!
However, after thinking for a while, Man Chong immediately said: "Captain, you should be right in not agreeing to Liu Chan's request."

Cao Ren nodded, and said: "I was thinking at the time, if our army withdraws from Fancheng, let alone whether the road is safe or not, it will have a negative impact on the entire battle situation. As a result, our army will lose the containment in Fancheng. With the role of the Jingzhou Army, it is very likely that the Jingzhou Army will advance northward unscrupulously."

Man Chong agreed with Cao Ren's point of view, and said: "That's right, this is why Chong advised you not to give up Fancheng easily. I don't think Liu Chan is still thinking about this wishful thinking! We just need to stick to it now, Wei The king's army might come over soon!"

Cao Ren nodded and said in relief: "That's right. There have been rumors outside that the King of Wei has died, and now the princes are constantly fighting for power in the court. However, that should be false news spread by the King of Wei. The body of the King of Wei has always been Yes, it is impossible to die so suddenly. I think, now that the war has been going on for several months, and it is autumn, King Wei should be ready to launch a counterattack against Guan Yu, right?"

Man Chong looked at the oil lamp lit on the desk table, the light flickered like beans, and said: "I hope so! Otherwise, our perseverance will be in vain."

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door of the study room, and a guard shouted into the study room: "Report to the governor, General Chang Diao has sent more than a dozen people to ask for an interview, saying that the situation is urgent, please Come out and see you quickly."

Cao Renhu stared, revealing a ray of surprise.To make Chang Diao so anxious, something must have happened.Could it be that Liu Chan couldn't negotiate with himself, so he led the army to attack the city by night in anger?But this is impossible, because I can't hear the sound of siege at all now.So what could be the big deal?
Cao Ren swiped, and immediately stood up from his seat, shouting: "Bring people in quickly."

Soon, a warrior in black armor ran in, but it was one of Chang Diao's personal guards.The man immediately fell to his knees and reported: "The governor is not good, the soldiers in the city may be in danger of mutiny!"

What the chief generals of the defending army fear most is not how fierce the enemy's siege is, but what they fear most is the civil strife among the soldiers themselves-called mutiny.Once the soldiers mutiny, it means that the hearts of the soldiers are lost, and the city cannot be defended.The most frightening thing is that before the enemy comes in, the general may have already been chopped into a pulp by the rebels!
Cao Ren's dark face suddenly turned pale, as if he had encountered the most terrifying thing in the world.And Man Chong's face became even paler, and his eyes became a little flickering.

But in Cao Ren's heart, it was obviously difficult to accept such a thing.After all, this army has been fighting with him for many years, he trained it himself, and has always been loyal to him. How could it be such a ridiculous thing to mutiny against him at this time?
Cao Ren immediately shouted: "What are you talking about? If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will cut off your head immediately!"

The warrior said anxiously: "Captain, the villain just came to inform Cao Ren according to General Chang Diao's order." Then, the warrior reported to Cao Ren exactly how Zhao Feng led people to shout under the city.

After Cao Ren finished listening, his mind went blank for a moment, and then his body trembled, and he almost couldn't support himself, and almost fell to the ground.

Man Chong hurriedly stepped forward to support him, persuading him, "Captain, don't panic."

Cao Ren broke free from Man Chong's hand, and roared angrily, "Young Liu Chan is really a despicable person, to plan against me like this! I, Cao Ren, will not live with him!"

Man Chong quickly said: "Governor, now is not the time to get angry. Since the news is only circulating among the soldiers, before any major accidents are caused, let's quickly organize our people and suppress it."

Only then did Cao Ren calm down, but he was actually being tricked by a kid like Liu Chan. Thinking about it, he was really useless.Cao Ren took a deep breath and said, "Bo Ning is right." Then he asked where the warrior Chang Diao was now.

The warrior arrived: "General Chang Diao has always been in the east of the city."

Cao Ren nodded and ordered: "Go back immediately and tell Chang Diao to pass on orders immediately. All soldiers are strictly prohibited from whispering and discussing matters; soldiers who have already rested in the barracks should immediately turn off their lights and rest. You are not allowed to walk around in the camp area casually; in the end, no one is allowed to be lazy in the east of the city, and no one is allowed to be lazy, and all of them will be led by me to patrol immediately, and if any soldiers who violate discipline are found, they will be arrested by me immediately."

Cao Ren is indeed a general who has fought for most of his life. After getting over the panic at the beginning, he immediately made proper arrangements.Man Chong couldn't help but nodded to Cao Ren, and immediately admired Cao Ren in his heart. Even if he arranged it himself, he probably couldn't do better than Cao Ren.

The warrior immediately rushed out of the study and went back to report to Chang Diao.

Only then did Cao Ren say to Man Chong: "Bo Ning, although Liu Chan only spread rumors in the east of the city, the news may have spread to the whole city now. So go to the south of the city to see the situation now, and you must appease the soldiers. I Immediately take people to the north of the city."

Man Chong nodded, and said: "Of course! Then let's go quickly." Saying that, the two of them left the commander's mansion in a hurry, brought back the defeated army that had just been disbanded from Futuan Mountain, and reorganized.Then, they divided it into two troops, and each of them led one to quickly drive to the south and north of the city.

At the same time, Liu Chan's handsome tent has become extremely lively.Many generals - as big as a general, as small as a village chief, came to visit Liu Chan one after another, and soon crowded Liu Chan's tent.And their purpose is naturally nothing else - just to intercede for Guan Feng.

Looking at the dark and chaotic scene below, Liu Chan suddenly felt a little annoyed.These people don't have any major affairs on weekdays, and they will never run to themselves.Fortunately, Guan Xiaomei just had a little incident, and they all rushed here in a swarm!
In fact, Liu Chan's heart at this time is probably a kind of sour grapes mentality.He was a little jealous that these generals loved Guan Feng so much, or he was a little jealous that they actually supported Guan Yu so much that even her daughter was so cherished.

So, Liu Chan would not listen to their messy talk, and immediately slapped the handsome desk with a slap, and ordered Zhao Feng to lead people to blow them all out of the handsome tent.And let Zhao Feng pass down the order, strictly forbidding anyone to intercede for Guan Feng, and those people finally dispersed.

At this time, there was only one person outside the account who saw everything in his eyes, and that was Ma Liang.He couldn't help but shook his head, and said in a low voice: "These people really don't know how to watch the time. Don't you know that doing so will only have the opposite effect? ​​However, the two generals Guan should also come, right?"

As Ma Liang said, he couldn't help looking in the direction of the village gate. Although the front was blocked by tents, he couldn't see the gate at all.

But soon, the figures of Guan Xing and Guan Suo finally appeared.The faces of the two looked a little flustered and a little ugly, and they were walking quickly towards the handsome tent.

Ma Liang finally breathed a sigh of relief, they finally arrived.

Ma Liang rushed up to meet him and asked, "Two generals, are you here for Miss Guan's affairs?"

When they saw that it was Ma Liang, they saluted him at the same time.Guan Xing sighed: "To tell you the truth, the two brothers and I are here for this purpose."

Ma Liang immediately calmed down his expression, changed to a fresh and indifferent look, waved his hands and smiled slightly: "You two generals don't need to be too anxious because of this, Miss Guan is now locked in the original tent of General Forbidden, and she hasn't suffered at all. "
