On the seventh day of the seventh month, the sky was clear. It was a good time to mobilize the troops.
Inside Yao Pass, Chen Yongbin had gathered his main forces early in the morning. He chose his troops and arranged them into formations, preparing to deal a destructive blow to the Zhennan Army in front of Yao Pass.
"Futai, let me be the vanguard in this battle and personally lead the troops to attack! With me leading the charge, it will definitely boost the morale and make the soldiers fight bravely! "
Chen Yongbin was very satisfied that Liu Gu had personally asked to go to battle.
"Chief Liu is brave and skilled in battle. If you can lead the troops, we will definitely win this battle. If we win, Chief Liu will be the one to take the credit!"
"Thank you, Futai!"
Deng Zilong was very unhappy when he saw Liu Gu's happy expression.
"Futai, I also requests to go to battle!"
Looking at the white-bearded old general, Chen Yongbin had an awkward expression.
"Old General, how old are you? Don't compete with Chief Liu. It's better to be young and strong in battle."
"Futai, do you think I is old?"
Deng Zi Long looked at Chen Yongbin with a shocked and confused expression. Chen Yongbin was speechless. Seeing Deng Zi Long's face turn red as if he was very dissatisfied, Chen Yongbin hurriedly said, "Old General! Old General, don't misunderstand. How about this! Old General will stay by my side and guard the central army with me. After Chief Liu defeats the enemy, Old General will lead the central army to attack. What do you think? "
Deng Zi Long had an unwilling expression as he agreed in a low muffled voice.
Chen Yongbin was still rejoicing that he had managed to mediate the relationship between the generals.
It wasn't a good sign for generals to have conflicts before a battle.
Chen Yongbin left his deputy to guard Yao Pass while the army reorganized and lined up. Liu Gu led the vanguard to attack first.
Under Deng Zi Long's protection, Chen Yongbin led the central army to follow closely behind. The road here was narrow, and the formation couldn't be spread out much. Two to three thousand people was the limit. The rest of the troops had to guard the camp and Yao Pass to prevent any accidents.
It could be said that there was no problem with Chen Yongbin's arrangement of troops. With this kind of strategy, even if the frontline troops were defeated, it would not lead to the collapse of the battle. The possibility of the Zhennan Army pursuing after victory was not high, so it was very safe.
Not long after, Chen Yongbin heard the sound of gunfire and loud shouts. Soon after, a scout came to report that Liu Gu had already led his troops into battle with the Zhennan Army. The battle between the two sides was very intense, and the Zhennan Army had quite a number of soldiers and needed reinforcements.
Chen Yongbin nodded and immediately said to Deng Zilong, "Old General, it's time for us to march!"
Deng Zilong nodded. "Yes, now is the time to march!"
Then, Deng Zilong wielded his long spear, a horse combat weapon. Exerting all his strength, he lashed out with the handle of the spear at Chen Yongbin's neck. Before Chen Yongbin could react, his vision turned black. With a muffled groan, he fell off his horse and lost consciousness.
"Attack!!"
Deng Zilong's bodyguards were already prepared. One by one, they unsheathed their swords and quickly killed Chen Yongbin's bodyguards, who were caught off guard. The rest of the soldiers were dumbfounded.
Encountering such a situation, they really did not know what to do.
By the time Xiao Ruxun and Liu Gu rushed to the front, Deng Zilong had already organized the troops and tied up Chen Yongbin. A few of Chen Yongbin's subordinates who were unwilling to surrender were also tied up.
"Ji Xin!"
Deng Zilong went up to greet her. Xiao Ruxun also urged his horse forward. When they got close, the two of them dismounted together. Deng Zilong held Xiao Ruxun's hand tightly.
"Seeing you, this old man feels at ease! Chen Yongbin has been captured. "
Xiao Ruxun smiled and nodded. "Old General is wise, I am very grateful! If this matter succeeds, Old General and Shengwu will both be the main contributors! "
Deng Zilong and Liu Gu laughed.
"Has the army been subdued? There shouldn't be any problems, right? "
Xiao Ruxun looked at the army behind Deng Zilong.
"This is the army that this old man trained. In order to keep it a secret, I did not tell them, but they are still this old man's soldiers. They are still willing to listen to this old man's words. However, Chen Yongbin's subordinates will not listen."
Deng Zilong pointed at Chen Yongbin's subordinates who were tied up and detained, as well as the unconscious Chen Yongbin who was tied to a horse.
Xiao Ruxun walked forward and looked at those subordinates.
"Old Thief Deng! Let us go! Do not harm Futai! "
"Old Thief! I swear I will not let this matter rest!! "
"Old Thief! You are rebelling! Rebellion! "
Deng Zilong said, "Ji Xin, what should we do with these people? They are all Chen Yongbin's subordinates. They will not listen to my orders. "
Seeing them struggling, Xiao Ruxun waved his hand.
"Kill them."
"Not going to persuade them?"
Deng Zilong was a little surprised.
"Reason is for humans, not dogs. Time is of the essence. I don't have the time to teach dogs to listen to humans. Men, kill them immediately!"
Under Xiao Ruxun's order, a few subordinates immediately stepped forward with their blades. With a few slashes, a few heads fell to the ground.
Deng Zilong and Liu Gu looked at each other and kept their mouths shut.
They felt that Xiao Ruxun's aura was stronger than before.
"Who is guarding Yao Pass now?"
Xiao Ruxun asked.
"Chen Yongbin's subordinates."
"Old General and Shengwu, are you confident?"
Both of them nodded. "No problem!"
"Good! Immediately take down Yao Pass and march to Kunming! Don't give them any time to breathe! Sweep Yunnan! "
"Yes!"
Both of them immediately nodded.
Two hours later, Yao Pass fell into Xiao Ruxun's hands without bloodshed. Chen Yongbin's subordinates were also tied up.
Four days later, after the elites of Deng Zi Long and the Vermillion Bird Camp led by Ma Wei entered Kunming City, and after half a day of battle, they swept away all of Chen Yongbin's trusted subordinates. After that, Deng Zi Long and Ma Wei occupied Kunming together.
In the next two days, all the resistance forces inside and outside the city were destroyed. Chen Yongbin's forces no longer existed. Kunming was completely pacified.
Two days later, Xiao Ruxun took the main force of the army and arrived in Kunming.
In the office of the Inspector in Kunming, Xiao Ruxun and Chen Yongbin faced each other.
"Scoundrel Xiao? You didn't die?! "
Chen Yongbin looked in shock at Xiao Ruxun who introduced himself.
"Of course, I didn't die. Shen Yicheng lied to you. He said I died so that you would have the courage to attack Burma Town. However, this is also good. It gives me a lot of convenience. Right now, I am going to lead the army north to punish the rebels and rescue His Majesty!"
"Rescue His Majesty?"
Chen Yongbin looked at each other.
"Shen Yicheng started a mutiny in the capital and attacked me. He killed the old Grand Secretary Zhao and Song Butang and forced His Majesty to abdicate. I risked my life to escape from the capital. Right now, I am going to fight my way back to the capital and rescue His Majesty!"
Chen Yongbin was shocked, but he quickly calmed down.
"How can we believe your one-sided story?"
"Then you believe Shen Yicheng's one-sided story?"
Xiao Ruxun looked at Chen Yongbin.
"That's different! That was an edict from the Imperial Court! It was perfectly justifiable! "
Chen Yongbin angrily said, "And now that you are attacking me, it is not justifiable. How is it any different from rebellion?!"
Xiao Ruxun was quiet for a while.
"Yes, it was perfectly justifiable. Even if I did something like that, as long as it was justifiable, everything would be fine. But did Shen Yicheng tell you that His Majesty conferred the title of Duke of Qin on me before that?"
Xiao Ruxun extended his hand, and a guard handed a yellow letter to Xiao Ruxun.
