"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 319
Lei Ming severely punished more than a dozen soldiers who violated military discipline, and more than a hundred soldiers could not stand this restraint at night. They felt that the military discipline of the Qinghe Army was too strict, and fled overnight.
Lei Ming was naturally furious, and sent cavalry troops to pursue them, threatening to capture these traitors and behead them.
However, these escaped soldiers fled non-stop all the way, and they fled all the way to the camp of the imperial army. Facing the powerful imperial army, the pursuers had no choice but to return angrily.
After Lei Ming learned that the escaped soldiers had returned to the Dynasty Army, an imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he asked the returning cavalry to go back to rest.
Chen Ziang gave Lei Ming a task, which was to poach the corners of the imperial court and try to attract some black cavalry troops.
If he just sent people back secretly like this, he might be arrested and beheaded before he entered the camp.
That's why Lei Ming and the others played a bitter trick, deliberately severely punished some brothers, and let them flee back, so as to regain the trust of the court and facilitate their secret collusion.
Because these soldiers who fled back were chased all the way back, and there were knights from the imperial court black cavalry to testify, so Yue Jinsong, the son-in-law who served as the coach, did not have too much doubt after questioning himself.
Yue Jinsong, as a powerful general in the prince's line, personally commanded the 40,000 Black Cavalry Army and 60,000 Imperial Guards to conquer the Qinghe Army Chen Zi'ang's troops.
Lei Ming's 10,000 Black Cavalry Army was the vanguard, but after they entered Luyang Province, they disappeared without a trace.
The sudden disappearance of 10,000 black cavalry troops made the coach Yue Jinsong terrified. While marching slowly, he sent a large number of scouts to investigate the situation.
Qingqi, the court's scouts, found thousands of cavalrymen killed by the Black Cavalry Army. Without finding the rest of the living, they speculated that the 10,000 forward Black Cavalry Army had been wiped out.
The coach Yue Jinsong did not expect that the 10,000 elite black cavalry army would be wiped out, so he had to pay more attention to the Qinghe army and strengthened his guard.
But now he learned from the escaped black cavalry cavalry that in fact the ten thousand black cavalry troops were not completely wiped out, but part of them were lost, and the rest surrendered to the bandit army.
?This news can be said that the coach Yue Jinsong was handed over to Lei, and the Black Cavalry Army, which the court relied on, turned to the enemy?
Yue Jinsong didn't believe it at first, but what the soldiers who escaped said had a good sense, and all signs showed that what they said was true.
The black cavalry elite silently surrendered to the bandit army, which made the coach Yue Jinsong furious while shocked.
"Lei Ming, don't let me catch you! Otherwise, I will tear you to pieces!"
Part of the army under his command actually surrendered to the bandit army. Once the news gets out, where will he put Yue Jinsong's face?
More importantly, the imperial court is now in troubled times, and the black cavalry army led by Lei Ming surrendered to the bandit army. Although it has little effect on their combat effectiveness, it is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the morale of the imperial court.
"You didn't follow Lei Ming to do that outrageous thing, you deserve to be commended!"
In order to avoid the blow to the morale of this incident, Yue Jinsong also made an exception and rewarded the escaped black cavalry cavalry.
Yue Jinsong rewarded these escaped black cavalry cavalry in order to show an attitude, that is, although Lei Ming and others became traitors, the court still has no shortage of loyal and loyal ministers and generals.
Under Yue Jinsong's reward, these black cavalry cavalry who fled back to the imperial army were promoted two ranks in a row, and were praised as heroes who are loyal to the emperor and patriotic to boost their morale.
The brothers Lei Ming sent back to instigate rebellion against the Black Cavalry Army have now transformed into heroes who are loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and each of them has been promoted and made a fortune, becoming a popular figure.
Although after returning, Yue Jinsong promoted them and gave them great rewards, but they still did not forget the task Lei Ming gave them, which was to actively contact the generals of the Black Cavalry Army and prepare to instigate rebellion.
These brothers are Lei Ming's trustworthy people. When they returned to the Dynasty Army, Lei Ming also made a promise to them. As long as they complete the task, they will be rewarded when they go back.
Because Lei Ming led the black cavalry army to surrender to the Qinghe army, the coach Yue Jinsong has also strengthened his defenses against the remaining 30,000 black cavalry troops under his command.
In addition to dismissing some distrustful generals of the Black Cavalry, Yue Jinsong also strengthened the monitoring of the Black Cavalry.??
Worried that the Black Cavalry Army would surrender to the Qinghe Army like Lei Ming and the others, Yue Jinsong directly got stuck in the logistics of the Black Cavalry Army, which was to provide them with food and grass for only one day at a time.
They could continue to receive food and grass until the second day. He hoped that in this way, the Black Cavalry could not continue to fight and march for a long time.
Yue Jinsong's seemingly clever approach made the black cavalry army full of complaints, because they were also the army of the imperial court, but Yue Jinsong guarded them like a thief, which made them feel unhappy.
And the brothers Lei Ming sent back were loyal to the court because they risked their lives to escape from being hunted down, so they also won Yue Jinsong's trust and sent them back to the Black Cavalry Army to take up important positions.
With their current identities, they actively contacted some officers at all levels in the Black Cavalry Army to instigate rebellion.
?Because the Black Cavalry Army has suffered unexplained bad treatment and monitoring, and now that these brothers have been secretly motivating them, many people have decided to join the Qinghe Army at that time.
When Lei Ming's instigation activities went smoothly, an accident occurred.
"Marshal, I want to report that someone in the Black Cavalry Army is colluding in rebellion."
Although Lei Ming sent back some trustworthy brethren, but after the imperial court coach Yue Jinsong gave them promotions and rewards, some people couldn't stand the temptation and secretly reported to the coach Yue Jinsong.
"Who dares to rebel?"
When Yue Jinsong learned that someone in the Black Cavalry Army was colluding in rebellion, his expression turned cold, his eyes full of murderous intent.
"Commander, Lei Ming asked us to come back and join the Black Cavalry Army to surrender to the Qinghe Army. I am loyal to the imperial court, so I came here to inform you, and please forgive me for my previous crimes."
"Okay, very good, you are worthy of being a loyal and brave man of the imperial court. If what you said is true, then you are a great hero of the imperial court. I will reward you heavily!"
Having received the promise of the coach Yue Jinsong, the soldier of the Black Cavalry Army spoke out what he knew in a nutshell.
After the coach Yue Jinsong finished listening, a cold sweat broke out on his back. If this plan is successful, it may not only be a problem of the 30,000 black cavalry rebellion, but his head may also be lost.
After Yue Jinsong learned that the black cavalry cavalry who fled back were actually sent back by Lei Ming on purpose, he secretly scolded Lei Ming for being despicable and shameless, and at the same time decided to act first.
After all, the Black Cavalry Army is now like a powder keg. If the unstable elements are not eradicated as soon as possible, then once they attack, their Imperial Guards may really be no match. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
