Clemachus, the commander of the Fifth Army in Zhenbei, was shot dead on his way back to the camp at Yingmao. The news reached the camp that night, and all the troops deployed. Tong Guan seemed to have been slapped hard. Jinyan Mansion

Unable to find out the whereabouts of the assassin, Tong Shuai was so angry that he had nowhere to vent. He raised his tent overnight and summoned all the army commanders. The spearhead of the investigation was aimed at the Hebei general who had a problem with Marcus, and Marcus.

Tian Shizhen, the commander of the Jingsai Second Army who had fought and fought, was the first to bear the brunt.

"Commander, I am unjustly accused." Tian Shizhen was woken up by the soldiers in the tent. As soon as he handed the sword to the guard, his hands were cut off behind his back and he was taken to the tent to kneel down. Marching Sima Wang Yan simply

After Tian Shizhen told him what had happened, Tian Shizhen broke out in a cold sweat. Fights in the military camp were commonplace. If an army commander was assassinated, it was not a trivial matter. In the least case, he would lose his official position, and in the worst case, he would have to pay for his life.

"Tian Shizhen, it's obvious that you paid for the murder of General Klie because of jealousy. How dare you make excuses?" After Secretary Zhou Dingchen angrily scolded Tian Shizhen, he turned to Tong Guan and said: "Killing a colleague is an inevitable death penalty. In order to stabilize the morale of the army,

, please kill Tian Shizhen quickly and show his head to the public!" He waved, and two sword and axemen pressed Tian Shizhen down again. As long as Tong Guan nodded slightly, they dragged him down to correct the military law.

Marching Sima Wang Yan secretly shook his head in his heart. Tong Guanfang and Zhou Dingchen came out to act like this. He clearly wanted to cut off the knot with a sharp knife. Killing Tian Shizhen not only gave an explanation to the Hu Qi of the Klie tribe, but also shocked the old generals in the Hebei camp. Moreover,

This Tian Shizhen was Liu Yanqing's favorite general who was deployed in the previous Hebei camp. He once instigated the generals and persuaded Liu Yanqing to rebel against the imperial decree. Tong Guan was afraid that he had murderous intentions towards him, and he never got the leverage to take advantage of him. Wang

While Yan was thinking, he looked at the generals present. He sent Fu Yu, who was in charge of assassination in Jinyan Mansion, to survey the scene. The assassin was located about 150 steps away from Kled, and the wolf-tooth carved feather arrow penetrated his bones.

To enter, a three-stone hard bow is indispensable. Although there are many strong archery masters among the people, most of those who can draw a three-stone bow and kill with one arrow are in the army. Therefore, Wang Yan also deduced that the person who presided over the assassination of Tian Shizhen must be from the camp in Hebei.

General. But who it is is hard to say. After all, there are 200,000 troops in Hebei, with countless hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

His eyes fell on Han Shizhong's face, and he saw him standing there calmly. According to the detailed reports, when Tian Ke'er fought for the prostitutes, there were many generals who did evil things, but Han Shizhong had been standing far away, staying out of the matter.

Ren Zheng was supported by Tong Guan, he was happily married, and he had no direct conflict with Kled. Among the generals, he was one of the least suspects.

After Zhou Dingchen finished speaking, before Tong Guan could say anything, beads of sweat appeared on the forehead of Tian Shizhen who was pushed to the ground. He struggled desperately and shouted loudly: "Commander, I was wronged!" He was in a hurry.

, actually shouted loudly: "I am not the only one who has a problem with Klie, why did you kill me?" He looked at Shang Qiong, the commander of the First Army in Jingsai, and shouted: "Old Shang, didn't you drink early that day?

Are you just saying that you want to kill this barbarian?" Hu Ce'an looked at the heroic army and shouted, "Old Hu, there was a fight with Kled in the camp that day. You tried to stop the fight, but you actually kicked the guy several times, including once.

You even kicked me in the head. You are the most insidious person in the camp, and you killed Kled, right? You are responsible for everyone's work, so why bother to implicate me?"

Hu Ce'an's face suddenly turned green, and just as he was about to start his defense, Tian Shizhen shouted to Jin Yaochen, the commander of Ningshuo's Third Army: "Old Jin, the Hu cavalry from the Kelie tribe took away all the fodder that your Zhuangzi had hoarded. , and also defiled two women, you must be itching with hatred." Then he said to Yang Kuo of the Zhongyong Army: "Old Yang, you told me that if Clemachus dies, the Hu cavalry will be divided into various armies. All right."

At this time, in order to save his life, Tian Shizhen racked his brains and revealed all the unfavorable words that the generals of the army had against the Kelie tribe. This involved more than ten generals from Hebei. The faces of the generals were alternately blue and white, and they had some sympathy just now. This man, at this moment, wished he could take Tian Shizhen out of the tent for the swordsman and cut off the head that was biting randomly with a knife.

At this time, Tong Guan was hesitant. He originally wanted to use Tian Shizhen's head to settle the matter, but Tian Shizhen dragged so many generals into his arms. He acted like he had nothing to do with him, but Tong Guan knew very well that one of the most important responsibilities of Jinyan Mansion was to monitor the border generals. What Tian Shizhen said in the tent today might be in the hands of Shen Yun tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow. The official family. He was in Hejian, far away from the capital. When there were still doubts about the case, he was good at killing generals. How this guy Shen Yun wanted to slander himself in front of the officials was hard to say.

"We should have driven this nail back earlier." Tong Guan felt a rare feeling of regret in his heart. His face was as cloudy and uncertain as the candlelight in the camp, and he said to Wang Yan: "Although the murder of Commander Klie has not yet been found out. , But the most suspicious thing about Tian Shizhen is that it is unquestionable. In my opinion, Tian Shizhen should be taken into custody first, and the situation should be investigated before dealing with it. What does Wang Sima think?"

Wang Yan bowed his head and said, "What you have said is true." He sneered secretly in his heart, and took Tian Shizhen into custody. He said nicely that as long as he was tortured, coerced and induced, he would confess to this murder case. It's an ironclad case, this eunuch made a good plan.

Tong Guan nodded slightly. After Tian Shizhen was taken into custody, he spent a little time and used some means to get it over with. No one could tell what was wrong. Just when he was about to raise his hand and let the swordsman drag Tian Shizhen down and take him into custody, suddenly outside the camp There was a loud noise, and around this handsome tent located in the middle of the camp, people could be heard shouting, horses neighing, and people crying for their fathers and mothers.

All the generals looked at each other, and even Tian Shizhen stopped shouting about injustice, straightened up and looked outside, "What's going on?" While Tong Guan was pondering, a soldier rushed in and said: "Commander, Hu people, barbarians from the Kle tribe have rebelled! Thousands of cavalry outside surrounded the camp and fired arrows to seek justice for their clan leader! Many of the brothers who were on duty guarding the camp were also killed and injured."

The noise outside was still there, and as soon as the soldiers finished speaking, the generals in the camp suddenly began to whisper among themselves, and their voices even overwhelmed the noise outside. Tian Shizhen, who was tied to the ground, looked happy, and shouted loudly: "Good morning. Seeing that these barbarians are uneasy and well-intentioned, I asked the commander-in-chief to allow the general to go out to fight. If he doesn't kill all these Di Yi, the general will come and see you!" He also relied on this military order, because the Jingsai Army was marching to Hebei Province. The most elite cavalry in the old armies were originally selected from the Han people living in Hebei Province in Youyan Prefecture. They had a deep feud with the Liao people and were good at riding and shooting. All the mounts they used were purchased from the good people in the Western Regions of Xia State. Horses can carry heavy armor and rush into battle. Therefore, the entire Jingsai Army is equipped with heavy armor, and all the weapons used are selected from the best rations. It finally became a trump card in the hands of the Hebei camp. When Emperor Wuzong made the northern expedition to the west, Jingsai The Serbian army fought as the vanguard and retreated as the rear. It suffered the most beheadings and the least losses. It was said to be a strong army that could face off against the Tielin Army of the Liao Kingdom and the Iron Kites of the Xia Kingdom. The Jingsai Second Army was also the elite main force of the Jingsai Army. , Tian Shizhen has been in charge for a long time, and he is confident that defeating the Hu Qi outside is not a problem.

All the generals in the Hebei camp also woke up. As long as the charges of rebellion and rebellion were confirmed, the murder of Klemachus would not be pursued anymore, and they all asked for help to fight.

Everyone knows the strength of the Zhenbei Fifth Army. It can only fight with more than 3,000 barbarians. It is said that there are still some old, weak, women and children outside the fortress who have not come over. Is it possible that it can still defeat the 200,000 troops of the Hebei Camp?

The generals below were all talking about the enemy's invitation to fight, but this annoyed the commander Tong Guan. He slapped the table and shouted loudly: "Shut up!" He knew the thoughts of the Hebei generals clearly, but the number one in Zhenbei was

Recruiting the army was a great achievement. These barbarians were familiar with the roads, water and grass outside the fortress, so they were expected to rely heavily on Ping Yan. However, they soon caused rebellion and spread the news to the court. As for the officials, they themselves were considered incompetent.

Tong Guan suppressed his anger, stretched out his hand to beckon, and said to Xin Xingzong, the commander of the Zhenbei First Army: "Xingzong, you are the most stable man. Go out and see if the soldiers of the Zhenbei Fifth Army are just General Klie."

After complaining about their grievances, I asked them to be patient for a few days, and I will give them justice." Xin Xingzong was about to receive the order when he was stopped again. Tong Guan said in a deep voice: "Go to the treasury and take out five thousand pieces of cloth as a gift.
