At that moment he understood why the imperial court sent Tang Yuan to take over the Black Mountain Camp. He saw a murderous look stained with human blood in Tang Yuan's eyes. This was the kind of deterrent power that only someone who had actually been on the battlefield and killed people could have.
It’s not like General Fu hasn’t been to the battlefield before, but here, the native soldiers are not the main force on the battlefield. They only carry out smaller orders.
But Tang Yuan was different. He was the kind of general who could really lead troops into battle. As soon as they fought, General Fu knew in his heart that he had lost to Tang Yuan by a large margin.
At this time, they had already exchanged dozens of moves.
General Fu's strength was gradually exhausted. In a flash, General Fu suddenly hit his left hand with a knife. He felt a sharp pain in his left hand and the weapon in his hand fell to the ground. Tang Yuan flew up and kicked him in the chest, knocking him off the horse.
General Fu was kicked heavily to the ground, and he almost vomited blood in pain. But before he could react, his chest was stepped on by Tang Yuan who jumped down again.
He was suddenly unable to move. Seeing that Tang Yuan was still holding the shiny knife in his hand, he suddenly became nervous and stared at Tang Yuan, fearing that he would accidentally stab him with the knife.
Tang Yuan's face turned cold but he didn't even look at him. He just shouted loudly to the soldiers who seemed to be coming to rescue him: "Soldiers, did you see that? This is your superior! He has no ability, but he can be above you just by relying on his so-called status. He watches you fight to your death, and he sucks your blood and eats your flesh behind your back! Do you still want to be loyal to this kind of person?!"
Yang Xin's words just now had actually given these soldiers a great shock. Now General Fu was no match for Tang Yuan, which made the native soldiers disappointed and uneasy. No one moved for a while, and they looked at the battle situation here hesitantly. No one moved for a while.
Yang Xin took the opportunity to shout, "Brothers, they have been lying to us, saying that only the natives will seek welfare for us natives, but look, what welfare have we got? Whose family is not poor and can't even afford to eat? I think the natives in other places don't have such a hard life as us. They don't even care about us, so are we going to follow these fools and go against the court, and let the court send troops to wipe us out?!"
These words were spoken at the right time, as the soldiers' hearts were already leaning towards submission to the court.
Yes, weren't they trying their best? But, what good was it? It was useless.
At the beginning, he was taken to the imperial court by the clan leader and became a military household.
Military households were required to send able-bodied men to serve in the army. They suffered the most, but did not get what they deserved.
Just as Yang Xin said, if the court did not give the silver, then we would have hated the court. However, the court did give the silver, but all of it was intercepted by Councillor Yang and General Fu.
Is it really worth persisting in such a life
Finally, earth-shaking shouts and cries of killing were heard from outside, and everyone was shocked.
Yang Xin also subconsciously looked towards Tang Yuan with a nervous expression.
Xiao Heng and his men are here with their troops!
At this time, Tang Yuan shouted with all his strength: "Soldiers, don't be afraid! I am now the general of the Black Mountain Camp. You helped me capture the rebels who rebelled against the court, oppressed the soldiers and detained the imperial envoy. You all have meritorious service! Now, soldiers, follow me to welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
The imperial army was outside, and General Fu himself was very unpopular. Or rather, the local leaders had already chilled the hearts of the ordinary soldiers. At this moment, Tang Yuan's words actually had a strange power to calm people's hearts. Everyone hesitated for a while, and Yang Xin took the lead and shouted, "Yes, welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
With him taking the lead, and with Yang Feng, Tongshun and others having arrived with more than 2,000 people, the situation became even more one-sided and clear. No one had any objections anymore, and everyone followed Tang Yuan and shouted in unison.
Tang Yuan ordered people to take General Fu away, and he tidied his clothes and led his men to open the camp gate.
General Fu's face was pale and his left arm was still bleeding, but at this point, the pain was no longer something that could not be noticed. He was filled with fear from head to toe.
I was not careful today and was caught without any cards to my name.
He is now of absolutely no use at all.
People without value...
General Fu was completely stunned.
At this time, Tang Yuan, Yang Xin and others had already seen Xiao Heng and his party riding on horses.
Tang Qingfeng was not far behind Xiao Heng. When he saw Tang Yuan, he couldn't help but call him father, his eyes slightly red.
Although he knew that his father was a capable man, there had been a mutiny before, and many people around his father had died. How could he not be worried? Even though he later coerced Yang Xin and Yang Xin agreed to protect Tang Yuan, he was still very scared.
Now, seeing his father's majestic appearance, he was finally completely relieved.
Tang Yuan glanced at his son, nodded slightly, and ran straight to Xiao Heng, kneeling down under his horse: "Your Highness, please forgive me for being late to welcome you!"
Xiao Heng also looked Tang Yuan up and down and knew that he was fine. Seeing that he was in such good spirits, he was already relieved. Seeing Tang Yuan like this, he hurriedly got off the horse and helped Tang Yuan up with a smile: "Why do you say that, Prince Consort? Prince Consort has captured the rebels and taken over the Black Mountain Camp, which is a great achievement."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Tang Yuan said solemnly: "Let your Highness know that the mutiny in the army was instigated by Fu Wentao. The soldiers have been suppressed by him for many years and dared not speak out. Now, they have all turned back and turned to the light. Only Fu Wentao has conclusive evidence of his crimes. Moreover, he has secretly withheld the pensions and military pay issued by the court for his own benefit. This is very abominable. Please, your Highness, help the soldiers!"
This is to help Xiao Heng establish his authority in front of everyone.
How could Xiao Heng not understand
He looked at Fu Wentao with a cold face and sneered, "Senator Yang's crimes have been investigated before, and countless evidences have been found. Moreover, his family is very wealthy, even richer than the local richest man! There is a lot of money stored in the family. The court trusts them and gives them power, but they are so ungrateful, squandering money, deceiving their superiors and subordinates, and making the soldiers suffer. I must strictly investigate this case and give everyone justice!"
Fu Wentao was already trembling.
The soldiers felt their blood boiling and couldn't help but shout "good job".
