The generals of the Northern Army are famous for their rebelliousness. Among them, their status, friendship and loyalty are more important than military law. As a law enforcement officer, Chai Zhi is quite popular. He uses his power to win the favor of a large number of generals and officials. follow.

These friendships are not enough to call for the seal, but they are enough to arouse sympathy and indignation.

Now, he fell in front of the central army tent, the blood on his back is very eye-catching against the fluttering snowflakes, standing next to the King of the East Sea, holding the big Sima seal in his hand, confused in his heart, but there is still a trace of when he just won the seal on his face. of excitement and joy.

"Chai Junzheng was killed!" Someone shouted, and the sound went on. The melee in front of the central army tent stopped again, and everyone slowly gathered to look at the corpse.

Donghai King suddenly realized that he was setting himself on fire, he hurriedly lowered his arm, and took two steps back, "I didn't kill him, I don't even have a knife."

Then he remembered that the murderer must be in the central army tent, just behind him, so he turned around and took two steps back, "Who is the murderer, stand up quickly..."

"Donghai King killed Chai Junzheng!" an officer shouted loudly. Everything he saw in his eyes showed this fact. As for Donghai King's defense, he didn't listen to it, let alone believe it.

"It's the King of the East Sea!" More voices shouted, and the crowd slowly approached. After all, this is the prince of the Han family. Everyone hasn't decided what to do, but just influence each other and move forward step by step.

"The person I killed has nothing to do with the King of the East Sea!" One person came out of the military tent, holding a dagger, which was still stained with blood.

The East Sea King was taken aback and said in a low voice, "Why are you? I haven't ordered yet..."

The entourage of the King of the East Sea whispered, "Your Highness, please step aside and stay away from dangerous places."

Needless to say, the King of the East Sea has been retreating, and he knows very well that he can win the Great Sima Seal with the help of his followers, but he still complains in his heart: Is there no better way to win the seal? Have to kill Chai Zhi? Why are followers so stupid?

One entourage could not arouse the awe of the soldiers, and dozens of people stepped up, waving the swords and guns in their hands, and rushing towards the target.

King Donghai watched the vicious soldiers pass by, and watched as his entourage had more than one enemy with just a dagger. The King of Donghai had the intention to hold the seal and gave an order, but he was worried that no one would obey the order.

Two pairs of arms suddenly lifted him up from left to right. King Donghai was shocked and was about to struggle to call for help when someone said in his ear: "King Donghai, come with us, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time."

The people who supported him were two soldiers from the tribe, and they were from Lin Kunshan. They came to protect his safety. They were stopped by the soldiers before and failed to rush into the military tent together with the entourage.

The King of Donghai also complained about them. According to the original plan, these "heroes" in the Buqu camp should have swarmed up and entered the central army tent together with their entourage to help him capture the seal and control all the generals in the tent. One step ahead, the East Sea King did not have time to order, the heroes hesitated and lost the opportunity.

Donghai King finally maintained a sense of reason, and did not really complain. He joined dozens of soldiers from the army battalion, hurriedly mounted, and looked towards the central army tent. His followers were fighting hard, but they were outnumbered and at a clear disadvantage. Has been recruited, blood all over the body.

This is a strong and loyal follower of martial arts. The King of the East Sea is regretful, but he can't remember the name of the follower, and he is more worried about another thing: how will he explain to his mother after returning to Beijing?

The other important generals were stopped in the tent of the central army. Only Chai Yue came out ahead of time. At this time, he hurried to the East Sea King and shouted, "Official seal! Official seal is left!"

Only then did the King of Donghai realize that the Great Sima Seal was still in his hands, and the soldiers were eager to avenge Chai Zhi and forgot it.

The chaos in front of the central army tent seemed to spread to the other side of the river, where there was obviously a commotion, and the sentinel shouted "Peace" on time, but the sound was somewhat unusual.

The King of the East Sea looked at the other side, and then looked at Chai Yue, who was running, shouted "Drive", drove his horse forward, and took the official seal in his arms.

He can't stay here. After the soldiers kill their followers, they will probably turn their heads on him. Even if they don't dare to kill the king, they will imprison him. The King of Donghai can't stand this kind of humiliation. He believes that he has a more important burden on his shoulders. mission.

The King of the East Sea drove down the mountain with dozens of his soldiers and ran towards the Iron Broken City. On their right hand, there were only a few dozen steps apart, and a large number of equipment and soldiers were lined up. The confusion has not spread here yet, but The soldiers were whispering and questioning each other.

The Chu army was about to be in chaos, and the King of the East Sea came to the conclusion that the horse ran faster.

He didn't enter the Iron Broken City, and met Lin Kunshan outside the south gate. The gas watcher was watching the situation here, and he couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the panic-stricken return of the East Sea King.

"what happened?"

"Don't say it, the plan has changed, go back to Beijing immediately, and start right away without a moment's delay." The King of the East Sea looked at the official road in the south, wishing to fly with his wings.

"General Zhenbei..."

"He's finished, even if he comes back, he'll be dead. There aren't that many people who support him. If the Huns don't kill him, the Northern Army will. Lin Kunshan, whose side are you on?"

Lin Kunshan got on his horse, "Of course it's the King of the East Sea, but don't worry, it's a long way to Shenxiongguan, and the road is blocked by heavy snow, so you have to bring enough provisions."

"There is a new camp of the Northern Army at the mountain pass, where we can get supplies." King Donghai had a plan in his heart. Looking westward, there was no order, but the army at the foot of the mountain began to move and gathered towards the central tent. It seems that this is an even more ominous omen.

He failed, and Han Ruzi also failed, but he still had a chance to return to the capital as soon as possible to participate in the seizing of the throne. Maybe he could go to his uncle first and return to Beijing surrounded by the Southern Army.

The King of the East Sea touched the Great Sima Seal in his arms, and suddenly found that he did not lose completely, and even made a contribution: without this seal, the Northern Army would inevitably fall into chaos, and it would not be the constraints of the Southern Army.

"Drive!" The King of the East Sea entered the official road first, galloping southward, all he wanted to do was get out of the place of right and wrong as soon as possible.

He forgot the entourage who used his life to protect the master, the Han Ruzi who was talking with the Huns, the chaotic Northern Army, and even the Lin Kunshan and dozens of entourage behind him, he just wanted to run faster, and then Hurry up.

When the King of the East Sea fled the central tent, there was a commotion on the north bank.

According to the agreement, there are 10,000 Chu troops on the north bank, some of them will serve as sentries, and the rest will be divided into five teams. If there is any situation, the four teams will be used to fight against the Huns. The middle team has only one responsibility: to use the fastest speed. Rush to the place of peace talks and save General Zhenbei.

The general of this team is Cai Xinghai. There are not many soldiers under his command, only 500 people. All of them are elite soldiers, and they are trustworthy. Half of them are from the Buqu battalion, and the other half are the soldiers of the Northern Army personally selected by Cai Xinghai.

Cai Xinghai once served as a military governor in the Northern Army. He is very good at making friends and making friends. In the strict imperial palace, as a lowly servant, he can still become an important member of the "hard-working people". After joining the Northern Army, he quickly integrated into it. He can even bring a group of people into the city to rescue the tired Hou at that time.

He knew that today's task was extremely important, and he took five hundred people as far forward as possible until he could see each other with the first Hun sentry in the snow. .

The chaos inside and outside the Chinese military tent has not spread here.

The Chu army sentinel had already sent a message that the messenger of General Zhenbei was rushing back, so Cai Xinghai was not surprised when he saw a horse coming in the snow. The "peace" that comes from time to time is more convincing.

Han Ruzi lowered his head, drove directly in front of Cai Xinghai, restrained the reins, raised his head and whispered, "Don't make a sound."

Cai Xinghai almost fell from the horse, but quickly reacted, surprised and happy, and hurriedly nodded.

"Let everyone stand back two miles before telling them I'm back."

"Yes." Cai Xinghai turned his horse's head, tried his best to restrain his excitement, returned to the front of the team at a normal speed, and ordered to step back.

The three Xiongnu sentries not far away saw all this and breathed a sigh of relief. They were really nervous about being so close to a group of Chu troops.

Han Ruzi followed behind, gradually increasing the speed, and joined the team two miles away.

General Zhenbei came back alone, everyone was surprised and happy, but they had already received Cai Xinghai's order and dared not express their emotions.

There were no Huns nearby, only Chu army sentries. They should not be too busy. Han Ruzi immediately ordered a few soldiers to inquire about the situation on the south bank. He returned alone to calm the chaos. If everything was peaceful, he had to execute another. Set of plans.

The soldiers returned quickly.

The central army tent on the south bank is not only chaotic, but also a big chaos, which may get out of control at any time and spread to the entire Chu army.

Han Ruzi felt a little relieved, but at the same time felt sad. He expected the chaos, but he was unable to stop it in advance. He could only take unexpected measures. The next step was the real test. Whether his reputation is enough to quell the chaos.

Han Ruzi took Cai Xinghai's 500 people to gallop toward the big river, and the shouts on the south bank became clearer and clearer. When crossing the river, he could already see the melee in front of the central army tent.

More soldiers saw General Zhenbei.

Han Ruzi took off the helmet of an ordinary soldier. There was no flag behind him, but there were 500 soldiers to follow and set off. Even people who had never seen General Zhenbei recognized him almost instantly, without even having to tell his companions. ask.

Some soldiers on the south bank closest to the central army tent are already in chaos. They want to know if the generals on the ridge are killing each other? Does the Chu army still have a commander-in-chief?

The appearance of General Zhenbei immediately stopped the germination of chaos. He was the commander-in-chief, and no one doubted it.

Han Ruzi didn't stop. He knew that if he wanted to stop the chaos quickly, he had to reach the core of the chaos as quickly as possible. This approach was a bit risky, but it was worth it.

The soldiers on the ridge have not yet discovered the return of General Zhenbei. They are arguing maliciously, fighting each other with swords and guns, accusing the other party of being the initiator of the chaos, and all kinds of conspiracy speculations are emerging one after another.

Cai Xinghai led a team of cavalry into the crowd, forcibly separated everyone, and opened a passage to the front of the central army tent.

Han Ruzi rode forward, and finally, everyone in front of the tent saw him, surprise, panic, surprise, suspicion... Everyone had different emotions, but they finally stopped arguing and all quieted down.

Quietness is not surrender. General Zhenbei said a wrong sentence or a wrong order, which may re-ignite chaos, and it is chaos that can no longer be pacified.

Three corpses were placed in front of the tent, one was Jun Zheng Chai Zhi, one was the entourage of the King of the East Sea, and the other was an officer.

Han Ruzi jumped off the horse and found that the situation was more serious than he had imagined.

He glanced around, but did not see the figure of the East Sea King.
