If Huang Weilie wants to control the three armies, he also needs to control Chen Botu's headquarters.
Chen Botu was an old man beside Yang Guang, and he even followed Yang Guang to conquer Nanchen. During the revolution in Renshou Palace, he also stood firmly on Yang Guang's side, and was then entrusted with important responsibilities.
However, Huang Mingyuan did not have a high opinion of Chen Botu, thinking that Chen Botu was "too slippery."
Chen Botu was born into a poor family and had a clinging mentality in his bones. Acting for others with proper and comprehensive intentions will turn out to be flattering.
Although he was a confidant of the emperor, after his great achievements, he fell into the arms of Yu Wenshu. On weekdays, he treated Yuwenshu as filially as his own grandson, except that he had to taste Yuwenshu's feces himself.
It is also because Chen Botu is not in Jiangdu, otherwise Yu Wenhua and his brothers would have roped him in long ago.
However, neither he nor Zuo Tiancheng have strong personalities, so their cooperation is quite safe.
That evening, Zuo Tiancheng invited Chen Botu to meet him because he had something urgent to do. Chen Botu had been with Zuo Tiancheng for many years, but he didn't take precautions and came directly to Zuo Tiancheng's camp.
In order to restrain Du Fuwei, the two of them discussed dividing their forces and setting up camps to block Du Fuwei's two main routes. At this time, the two camps were more than ten miles apart, and they were at odds with each other.
Chen Botu arrived at Zuo Tiancheng's camp and was led into Zuo Tiancheng's Chinese army tent.
However, when he entered the tent, Chen Botu was surprised, because sitting at the top of the tent was Huang Weilie, the Marquis of Shanyang.
But Chen Botu reacted immediately and saluted Huang Weilie.
"Master Hou is here to support us?"
Although Chen Botu and Huang Weilie were both generals, their titles and ranks were not as good as the other's, and they did not have a good father. Therefore, they used to treat Huang Weilie with great respect, even with a higher rank. ãá minus .c om ãá
Huang Weilie said with a smile on his face: "I'm not here to support General Chen, but to ask for help from General Chen."
Chen Botu was even more stunned, his heart churning.
I¡¯m afraid there won¡¯t be a good feast today.
But Chen Botu didn't show it on his face, instead he smiled and said: "The Marquis of Shanyang is making fun of me. I am tired of dealing with the thief Du Fuwei. Now that the Marquis of Shanyang is here, I will have a backbone."
Huang Weilie still had no expression.
"General Chen, I'm not kidding you."
Chen Botu was even more shocked. He didn't understand what Huang Weilie was trying to do.
Huang Weilie looked at Chen Botu and said, "I heard that General Chen has a good relationship with Xu Gongyu Wenhua and his brothers. I wonder if Yu Wenhua and his brothers have written to General Chen in the past two days."
Chen Botu didn't know why Huang Weilie asked this, so he could only pick up the words and said: "What kind of relationship between me and this person is just an acquaintance. In the past, when Xu Gonggong (Yu Wenshu) was alive, he went in and out of Xu Gong's house several times. After Xu Gonggong passed away, he came and went. It¡¯s less.¡±
Chen Botu was telling the truth. When Yu Wenshu was alive, he fawned over him because it was profitable. After Yu Wenshu died, would he still fawn over Yu Wenhuaji? In particular, the emperor did not like to see brother Yuwen.
"I mean, have Yu Wenhua and his brothers sent a letter to the general?"
"No!"
Chen Botu said categorically.
Speaking of this, Chen Botu asked tentatively: "Master Hou, what's going on? I'm on the front line and don't know what's going on in Jiangdu. If there is any slowness, I hope you won't blame me."
Huang Weilie knew but couldn't figure out anything. Chen Botu was indeed slippery and alert. So Huang Weilie said bluntly: "Yu Wenhua and his brothers are rebelling!"
Chen Botu was stunned for a moment, and then his heart tightened.
At this time, he fully understood that this Yuhuahua rebellion had affected him, and Huang Weilie was here to question him. If he doesn't handle it well, he will be buried in Yuwen Wenji's body.
Chen Botu's brain was spinning rapidly, and he immediately cursed in front of Huang Mingyuan: "Yu Wenhuaji, you are a thief, you dare to disobey the rebels, you are really in vain."
Chen Botu cursed at Yu Wenhuaji, as if the two were incompatible with each other.
Huang Weilie looked at Chen Botu's performance as if he was watching a performance.
Seeing that Chen Botu was performing very enthusiastically, Huang Weilie waved his hand to stop Chen Botu's wonderful performance. He came to Zuo Tiancheng's camp and summoned Chen Botu not to watch a performance.
Huang Weilie looked at the two of them and said as if nothing had happened: "General Chen, Yu Wenhuaji's conspiracy to rebel has revealed many problems. Although Yu Wenhuaji has been executed, there are many members of his party, and the Holy One is not at ease, so he sent me here You two, clean up Yu Wenhuaji's gang members in the army."
At this time, Chen Botu quickly knelt down on one knee and expressed his loyalty: "Master Hou, my loyalty to the saint can be learned from heaven and earth."
Huang Weilie looked at Chen Botu and didn't let him get up. Instead, he said: "I believe in General Chen. Otherwise, as soon as General Chen comes in, I will have people take you down. But although you were not involved in the Yuhuaji incident, , but many generals in his army were inseparable from Yu Wenhuaji's rebellion.
I wonder if you should hand over the military power temporarily and wait until I clean up the traitors in the army before handing it back to you. "
Chen Botu's heart was even more chilling. He wanted to seize his military power.
If Chen Botu knew the true outcome of the Jiangdu Rebellion, he might still be tougher. But he never imagined that Yu Wenhuaji's mutiny would succeed.
Pingyu Wenhua and that idiot, how is it possible?
Although Chen Botu was reluctant to do so, Chen Botu knew that as long as he said "no" today, the result waiting for him would be to return to Yu Wenhua and destroy his party, so he had no confidence and immediately handed over the military power in his hands to Huang Weilie. 牺如 pddxsw.com 牺如
Huang Weilie then imprisoned Chen Botu into Zuo Tiancheng's army, and he took Chen Botu's military talisman to collect the troops.
There is no doubt that with the help of Zuo Tiancheng and more than a thousand elites, Huang Weilie successfully took the army into his hands. As for the generals in the army who tended to Guanzhong, most of them were purged.
It has to be said that for the sake of stability, anything can be sacrificed.
These days, too many armies have been purged for various reasons, and I don¡¯t know how many of them were unjustly killed.
Huang Weilie and Zuo Tiancheng each cleaned up their troops and then joined forces with a total of 20,000 troops. This number is already considered an important force in Huainan.
Zuo Tiancheng asked Ying to be a pioneer and wanted to go to Jiangdu first, but Huang Weilie refused.
Although he has not yet contacted his brother, Huang Weilie also knows that now is not a good opportunity to send troops. Since it was inevitable for Yuwen Huaji to go north, why should they bother to fight. Mi He Mi
Huang Weilie disagreed, and Zuo Tiancheng dared not move even if he wanted to.
A few days later, Chen Leng also came to meet Huang Weilie after receiving a letter from him.
Chen Leng is one of Huang Mingyuan's earliest subordinates. He has no backing, and Wei Gong is his biggest backing. He saw it more clearly than Zuo Tiancheng. When he learned that Yu Wenhua and the mutiny were successful, he knew that the emperor was in the past and there was no need to count on him anymore, so he worked even harder for the Huang family.
Everyone was ready to go eastward, but unexpectedly another uninvited guest came soon
