Feng Heming

Chapter 338 Starfall
Relying on Chen Xiong's residual prestige, Chen Jin finally subdued the army reluctantly. Immediately after that, he issued an imperial decree - to crusade against the mob.

There were several Jiuqings missing in the imperial court, and the ones left were either those with ulterior motives or those who were not valued during Chen Xiong's time. Chen Jin had always seen it in his eyes, and it was inevitable that he also despised these family heads.

It was also because of Chen Xiong's tyrannical attitude towards the victims, Chen Jin didn't think about opening a warehouse for relief, but felt that as soon as he came to the throne, riots occurred in various places one after another, which was a disgrace to him as an emperor.

The emperor's face has been trampled on, how can he restore it?

What Chen Jin did was to kill all those who offended him.

The entire Northern Liang is watching this crusade.

Jiang Boyong even mobilized most of the manpower to pass on all kinds of news to Jiang Yuanxi as soon as possible.

"The imperial court dispatched a division of sergeants①, led by veteran Luo Rui, who headed south first."

"The imperial army encountered the first wave of rebels in the south. Old General Luo Rui dispatched a group of [-] soldiers. They won the first battle and wiped out the rebels. There were more than [-] people in total."

"Among them, a son of a poor family followed him to the battle. He killed the enemy bravely. He was brave and fearless. He shined brilliantly. He beheaded eight people. He was promoted to the second commander according to his military achievements. This son was named Peng Gao."

"The army marched, and once again encountered a second group of refugees. The old general Luo Rui sent 200 sergeants to win again, beheading more than [-] people, and the rest fled. The troops were in panic all day long, and they fled to seek refuge one after another. In the south, two groups of refugees were formed. One leader was Peng Wenshan, who claimed to have the strength of an army③, named Baimei Army. The other leader was Zengmen, with more than [-] people under his command, named Red Scarf Army."

"Among them, the two Sima Peng Gao took the lead in World War II, killed the enemy bravely, beheaded eighteen, and was promoted to be a centurion ④."

"Five days later, the old general Luo Rui sent a group of soldiers⑤ to attack the Red Turban Army. In this service, Zengmen, the leader of the Red Scarf Army, was beheaded by Peng Gao. General Ma died, and the casualties are not yet known."

"Because of being brave and good at fighting, fearless of death, and outstanding military exploits, veteran general Luo Rui made an exception and was promoted to the head of a division. He led thousands of soldiers and became a fourth-rank general. This man became the fastest promoted among the generals of the Northern Liang Dynasty. man of."

"The Red Scarf Army was defeated, the head of the leader Zengmen was in a different place, and the rest joined the White Eyebrow Army one after another, and the White Eyebrow Army became stronger for a while."

"The king's division rested. Six days later, the old general Luo Rui sent four sergeants to besiege Yulong, the headquarters of the White Eyebrow Army, in four directions. Among them, the head of Peng Gao was in the front."

A steady stream of news came to Jiang Boyong, and Jiang Yuanxi and others were all paying close attention. Among them, Peng Gao was rising like a red sun, so dazzling that no one could stop him. In less than half a month, he became a fourth-rank general, leading a team of sergeants alone, with thousands of people under his command!

"Chen Jin really picked up a treasure this time. With such a general, as long as Chen Jin treats him well, the monarch and his ministers will win each other, and become Chen Jin's confidant. If the king's master wipes out the Baimei army this time, Peng Gao will have the opportunity to go out this time." Based on his experience, it will not be a problem for the generals who want to succeed the Jingmen Army in the future."

Jiang Yuanxi sighed, thinking that Chen Jin was really lucky, he was not as good at martial arts as Chen Xiong, he had fought and killed people, and had a majestic aura, if it wasn't for him being the son of the empress, and Chen Xiong's legacy People may not be able to control the army. You can see that the army sent by the imperial court to encircle and suppress the refugees is not the Jingmen army. As the army with the most military supplies and the strongest combat power, Chen Jin has not yet been able to order the army to mobilize. The Jingmen army went to deal with the refugees.

Of course, the Jingmen army said to the outside world that it is impossible to use a sledgehammer to kill chickens. As for the rebel army composed of poor people, it is not worth their shot.

Qu Chengwen was still taciturn, but Feng Puze was quite interested in Peng Gao, and he didn't care about Hu Bugui.

However, this new star had just bloomed and then suddenly fell.

"Wu Niang, according to the latest information, Peng Gao has escaped, and he has fled to seek refuge with Peng Wenshan, the white-browed army!"

This is really beyond everyone's expectations.

Jiang Yuanxi frowned and asked, "Why did he go to seek refuge with Peng Wenshan? Instead of being a good fourth-rank general, he became a traitor?"

Jiang Boyong sneered, "Who made him climb too fast."

Now everyone understands.

"Is it in the way or in the eyes?" Jiang Yuanxi didn't know what to say.

"It's not only blocking the way, but also an eyesore." Jiang Boyong clicked his tongue, his tone full of sarcasm, "General Luo Rui sent five troops out to besiege Yu Long, but Peng Gao's troops were about to run out of food, so he asked the food officer to tell him They were transferring food from other places. After waiting for a few days, seeing that the food in the army was almost gone, Peng Gao went to find the food officer again. The food officer said that it would take some time to transfer the food. Peng Gao had no choice but to consult with nearby friendly troops. The matter of borrowing food.

The other three departments did borrow some food from Peng Gao, but it was not enough. Peng Gao sent someone back to find General Luo Rui. Unfortunately, the main army base camp was three days away from him, and it took six days to go back and forth.

I don't know if the news was leaked, but the White Eyebrow Army suddenly attacked Peng Gao's headquarters. Those sergeants couldn't eat enough, and their combat power dropped sharply. The 1000 people were almost wiped out.The White Eyebrow Army tore open the hole from Peng Gao, and after confiscating the weapons in the army of Peng Gao's troops, they took this big victory to counterattack the other three troops. Captured a city, using the four weapons collected, the combat power has been three days. "

Jiang Yuanxi and others: "."

The matter is not over yet, Jiang Boyong continued: "This is the first time that the imperial court sent troops to encircle and suppress the rebel army. Not only did thousands of people die, but also lost a city. The breath is exhausted, and now the white eyebrows are standing, the morale of the king's teacher is low, and the majesty of the court is swept away.

The casualties were too heavy, General Luo Rui didn't dare to hide the truth, Babaili rushed to report to the court, attributed the loser to the fact that the food officer did not deliver the food to Peng Gao in time, and suggested that Peng Gao should take the blame and make meritorious service.

But someone in the court angrily accused Peng Gao of his wolfish ambitions. He was a spy deliberately sent by the White Eyebrow Army, just to wait until the army was no longer wary of him, and to cooperate with the White Eyebrow Army internally and externally to cause heavy losses to the court.

Because of this rhetoric, not only Peng Gao was to be executed immediately, but even the old general Luo Rui, who single-handedly promoted him, was escorted back to the capital and sent to a prison to await interrogation.

But Peng Gao didn't wait for his captors to do it, so he fled to Peng Wenshan himself. "

Jiang Yuanxi sighed and shook his head, "He went to join Peng Wenshan, this time he is not a spy who cooperates with the inside and outside, so it must be."

But she also understood Peng Gao's choice, "If you don't go to Peng Wenshan, you won't be able to save your life. In order to find a way out, you can only go to Peng Wenshan."

"Fifth brother, what is the current constitution of the imperial court?" Jiang Yuanxi asked.
