If he colluded with Shura enemy for his own personal grudge and drove straight in, how would Cheng Youcheng stand in the world?
Since then, the Cheng family has become enemies with the Celestial Empire and has been despised by the world for generations. I think Cheng Youcheng should not dare to take such a terrible deception in the world, right?
Yes! The prisoner, what he said must not be true. If Cheng Youcheng really planned to rebel, this must be a very confidential matter. How could he know it to a low-level general of the Shura clan? Yes, it must not be true, it must not be true... Lu Chong murmured to himself, unconsciously his actions were ridiculous
In a short while, Zhang Chao, the director of the Ministry of Justice, walked into Shuaitang and asked: Deputy Commander, I heard that you have something to look for a subordinate?
Lord Zhang, I’m sorry to wake you up so early. After sorting out my thoughts, Lu Chong stood up and bowed to Zhang Chao: Lord Zhang, do you know Cheng Youcheng, the guardian of Saicheng City?
Zhang Chao nodded slightly and said: I know that he was the deputy garrison of Beitian City. Because he was not in harmony with the commander of Beitian City, Wu Xiongfeng was bound by Wu Xiongfeng everywhere. He took the initiative to apply for transfer from Beitian City, Prince Wu had to transfer him and his son Cheng Jingang to Saicheng City together. The deputy garrison asked him at this time...
I just got some urgent information!
Lu Chong frowned and said: There is unstable news from Cheng Youcheng in Saicheng City. It is said that he had private contact with Shura people to communicate with your military police department in private?
Surprisingly, Zhang Chao did not seem surprised: Deputy Commander, the Gendarmerie Bureau stationed in Saicheng City, reported to the lower officials that the newly appointed guard Cheng Youcheng and his son Cheng Jingang were indeed a bit inappropriate after their father and son took office, they were nepotism in the garrison army and arranged a large number of trustees in the army. Many upright generals and officials were excluded from the ground, and the garrison in Saicheng City almost became his private army.
After the war started, some of the remarks of the Cheng family father and son were shocking. He said at the preparation meeting in Saicheng City: "There are only tens of Shura, and if it exceeds tens of thousands, we will be invincible. The only hope for us to be saved is to negotiate peace with Shura. "In war, we will be killed by Shura people, and we will be dealt with by military law. We must find some other way out for ourselves." "Why should we work hard for the nobles in Tianjing Ah?"
As a dignified general of the Yicheng Army, if you lose your fighting spirit in the formal occasion of the military meeting, it is very unsuitable for his identity. The military police department of Saicheng City reported that recently some strangers of unknown origin often go to Cheng Youcheng's mansion. The whereabouts of their father and son are also very mysterious. They disappeared twice and appeared again a few days later. The military police agency could not know where they were going. In general, if the Cheng family's father and son colluded with the Shura people privately, we would not be surprised.
Lu Chong was surprised: Do you know all these situations? Why don’t you tell me?
Zhang Chao smiled bitterly: Deputy Commander, you are so busy that you are in a dim place, and you have less than one or two rest every day. How can you be so easy for the subordinates to bother you with these unfounded things? A general of the level of Cheng Youcheng, your subordinates have hundreds of subordinates in charge, each of which has more or less problems. If you have to report them one by one, you don’t have to fight.
Lu Chong felt like he was holding a piece of coptis chinensis in his mouth, and he thought a little bitterly. He asked: Now that we have not yet caught his exact evidence, what should the military police department do to deal with this situation?
Zhang Chao said bluntly: Deputy Commander, it is best to arrest the Cheng family and son immediately, who are not worthy of being a general at all!
Lu Chong still had concerns: But, we have not yet captured the conclusive evidence? Cheng Youcheng was the garrison of a city and a local official appointed by the court...
Deputy Commander, during the war, you cannot pay so much attention to evidence. You are the deputy commander of the First Army, and I am the chief supervisor of the empire. As long as both of us agree to arrest, it is completely legal in the procedure.
What if I caught it wrong?
If you catch the wrong one, just let it go! Zhang Chao said indifferently: If their father and son are really innocent, the subordinates will come to their door to apologize to them!
Lu Chong did not speak out, as if he had acquiesced, and asked again: Can the local gendarmerie institutions in Saicheng City complete this task?
It is probably difficult for the Gendarmerie Bureau to not have a powerful military police force stationed in Secheng City. The city's garrison troops were controlled by the Cheng family and son from top to bottom. Once the military police forces arrested the Cheng family and son, if they were anxious to resist, the matter would be tricky. The officials suggested taking a more prudent approach, such as arresting Cheng Youcheng when he was summoned to the command headquarters for a meeting?
You can consider this method. Lu Xintou said: But I have never dealt with Cheng Youcheng. Suddenly convened a meeting to make him suspect that he had changed Cheng Youcheng's position. How about transferring him to the rear?
Zhang Chao said suspiciously: Will he be ordered to be transferred? According to Xiaguan's experience, those who are guilty of being thieves are particularly suspicious.
The two discussed for a long time and finally decided to take a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, Lu Chong ordered Cheng Youcheng and his son to lead their troops to Mianyang to participate in the battle.
On the other hand, Lu Chong secretly sent a letter to the city lord Song Minghui of Saicheng City, asking him to be vigilant and guard against Cheng Youcheng and his son, and be prepared to take over the army at any time. Zhang Chao authorized the local military police supervisor. If Cheng Youcheng and his son have any abnormal movements, the military police bureau can take the initiative and kill him immediately.
The two discussed repeatedly, even considering some extremely detailed issues.
Zhang Chao drafted the order in Lu Chong's tone, which was exactly like a normal transfer document: In order to eliminate the enemy of Shura, I ordered the defender of Secheng City Cheng Youcheng, and Cheng Jingang must lead his troops to Mianyang City before February 5 to gather and wait for the order, and there must be no mistakes!
Lu Chong agreed: It seems very formal to write this way, and the Cheng family and his son should not doubt it.
Zhang Chao took the order and left
The guards opened the window and it was already dawn
Only then did Lu Chong realize that he had discussed Cheng Youcheng's affairs for an hour without realizing it.
After the matter was arranged, he left this matter behind and resumed normal military affairs.
But after less than a while, a dense sound of hooves came from far to near, breaking the tranquility of the morning. The guards shouted: Who?
I am the director Zhang Chao, please give way!
The guards caught off guard and rushed into the coach's mansion, reaching the gate of the coach's hall.
Zhang Chao, who had just left, jumped off his horse and strode towards Lu Chong with a serious expression: Deputy Commander Lu, the lower official received a letter from Fei Ge as soon as he returned. We were one step late! Cheng Youcheng, the garrison commander of Secheng City, and his son Cheng Jingang, launched a mutiny last night, killing the city lord Song Minghui and the deputy commander of the military police officer at the station. The two scums, the Cheng family father and son, did surrender to the Shura people, and the Shura army had already appeared on the streets of Secheng City!
Hearing this news, everyone in the handsome hall changed color
Everyone looked at Lu Chong together. The young deputy general of the empire was silent and stood quietly at the window. The rising sun shone on his face. His face showed a deep sad expression, tired and haggard.
After a long time, he turned around and said to Zhang Chao: Report to the capital immediately. There are new trends on the front line. The situation of the war may be unfavorable. Our enemy may bypass us and drive straight into the city, so that Tianjing is ready to be prepared for defense. I am not wary of the conspiracy of the Cheng family father and son. I want to ask Your Majesty for punishment and accept the punishment!
Zhang Chao said anxiously: Sir, Cheng Youcheng and Cheng Jingang are not the guards you appointed. You are busy with military affairs every day, how could you expect them to betray them? The officials in this matter have the greatest responsibility. The person who should be punished is the deputy general. You have a relationship with the overall situation and cannot be moved lightly.
Lu Chong smiled bitterly: Lord Zhang, no matter who is responsible, I am the commander-in-chief of Mianyang area. The person who takes responsibility for the war zone is my court, but I am the court. Anyway, the Shura Army broke through from the Mianyang war zone, so I must ask.
All the generals were speechless. Thinking of Lu Chong working day and night, and finally ending up with such an ending, everyone felt sad and injustice.
When the matter really happened, Lu Chong calmed down. He said calmly: Things are indeed unfortunate. Without the rebellion of the Cheng family father and son, the situation would never have been corrupted to such an extent. But since things have happened, it would be useless for us to regret it. Of course, the war would become more difficult and protracted. However, I still firmly believe that the failure of the invaders is destined and there will be no other result!
On February 1, 1677, the Mianyang Battle took a major turn
Cheng Youcheng, the defender of Saicheng City, rebelled against the enemy, and 50,000 defenders immediately mutinized, and a large gap appeared on the left wing of the solid Mianyang defense line.
Shura soldiers rushed in from the gap and appeared behind the side of the Condor Heroes' encirclement.
Nearly 130,000 Central Imperial Guards guarding the enemy from both sides were caught off guard and were defeated. The rescued Second Army Shura Legion and the besieged Seventh Army Yaksha Legion. As a result, the Shura Army was in a fit of anger, and instead formed a strategic encirclement on the right wing of the Condor Central Army and more than 200,000 troops in the central part of the Condor Central Army. The situation took a sharp turn for the worse.
The damage caused by Cheng Youcheng's surrender to the enemy is more than that
Since Cheng Youcheng was a senior general of the Condor Heroes Empire, he was familiar with the overall strategic deployment and military deployment of the Condor Heroes Empire. With his guidance, the military deployment of the Condor Heroes Army was clearly placed in front of the Shura people. Under Cheng Youcheng's guidance, the Shura army eliminated the Condor Heroes Army on the front one by one, one by one, one by one.
On February 4, the Garuluo clan army, who were watching, also joined the battle group. This was a new force. They rushed past Saicheng City controlled by Cheng Youcheng, and detoured behind Mianyang City on the side and posed a threat to Mianyang City from the rear.
More than 500,000 Condor Army was cut off from its backbone and faced the threat of being surrounded
On February 7, seeing that he could not resist the attack of the Shura Army, under the instigation of the Cheng family father and son, Li Hui, the guardian of Longcheng, surrendered to the enemy.
On February 7, the garrison of Bazhou City, Lu Yun, was defeated and surrendered to the enemy. His army of more than 30,000 subordinates laid down their weapons and was captured.
On February 8, reinforcements continued to reach the front line from Shura Empire
There are as many as three legions of reinforcements, and they are the Third Army of the Shura Empire, known as the Tiger Legion, the Fourth Army of the Imperial Army, the Legion Commander Ye Tian
There are also more than 40,000 people including the heavy wolf cavalry, the Air Force's Horned Eagle Beast Knights, etc.
At this time, the total number of Shura troops fighting the Condor Army on the front line had reached more than 700,000 of seven armies, exceeding one-third of the Shura Empire's national strength.
The battle situation was already beneficial to the Shura Empire, but under Lu Zhong's leadership, the surrounded Condor Heroes Army was still fighting desperately, especially they occupied solid fortifications, which echoed each other. The Shura Army was very difficult to advance.
At this time, Cheng Youcheng offered advice to the legion commanders: Now the main forces of the Condor Heroes are all surrounded, and the enemy's rear defense line is empty. As long as Tianjing is taken down, the morale and fighting spirit of the Condor Heroes will collapse completely, and we will win without a fight!
The commanders of Shura legions were excited, why didn’t they think of this good idea?
But some legion commanders still have doubts. Montaying asked: If the Condor Army in the encirclement rushed out to attack our rear when attacking Tianjing, wouldn’t our army be attacked from front to back?
Cheng Youcheng smiled and said: Lord Duke, the reason why the enemy in the encirclement is difficult to deal with is that they occupy the fortifications and resist. If they leave the position to fight in the field, will the Shura tribe still be afraid of them?
Montaying nodded while touching her beard: If we talk about field combat ability, I, Shura Iron Cavalry, are invincible in the world, you eagles are too weak, and you are not enough to see that one team can defeat your battalion!
The commanders of the legion applauded and said: Only the Eagleman could come up with such a cunning idea!
To deal with the eagle, we still have to rely on the eagle themselves! Our Shura tribe can fight, but we are not as good as theirs.
To reward Cheng Youcheng, with the consent of Prince Qinglong and the legion commanders, the surrendered Condor Army was adapted into the 20th Army of the Shura Empire, Shuntian Legion, which means to follow the will of heaven.
Cheng Youcheng served as the commander of the Shuntian Legion, Cheng Jingang served as the deputy commander of the legion, responsible for commanding all the Condor Rebels troops
For this reason, the Cheng family father and son were full of enthusiasm
On February 11, 1677, the Second Shura Army, the Fourth, the Twelfth, the Thirteenth, and other legions, and the 350,000 Shura Army rushed towards Tianjing. In front of them was the last city in Jinki, Wanglong City.
This is the last gateway to Tianjing. Prince Qinglong kept transferring his troops, trying to swallow the entire city in one go by relying on the advantage of his troops.
The guards of Wanglong City were newly transferred from the capital, with a total of 30,000 people, and the guards of Wanwei Yang Zecheng was responsible for defending them.
Although Yang Zecheng was not large in number, the powerful spirit of the Condor Empire in establishing the country with martial arts was fully demonstrated in them. His loyalty to the empire, hatred for the invaders, and the tragic and moving spirit of the soldiers to look at death seemed to add several times of strength to the defender.
There is no need to mobilize anymore. The soldiers all know this fact that Wanglong is the gateway to Tianjing!
The empire's territory is vast, but we have no way out! Behind us is Tianjing!
Since then, the Cheng family has become enemies with the Celestial Empire and has been despised by the world for generations. I think Cheng Youcheng should not dare to take such a terrible deception in the world, right?
Yes! The prisoner, what he said must not be true. If Cheng Youcheng really planned to rebel, this must be a very confidential matter. How could he know it to a low-level general of the Shura clan?
