"It's so late, and we still have to come to the Central Army camp. What a big deal..."

"Yes, General Zuo is really interesting. At this time, letting your brothers go to the Central Army camp will give you benefits..."

"Brother, there may not be any benefits. A few days ago, the brothers below you went to Shuanggoukou and did something good. General Zuo kept saying that he wanted to punish him. Could it be that it was because of this incident that we were summoned to gather our brothers..."

"Well, I think it's possible, but don't have such a big battle. All the brothers above the Thousand Generals in the military camp have arrived, nearly a thousand people. Does General Zuo want to establish his authority in the military camp..."

"Don't think so much. I just heard that the Henan general Xu Dingguo was killed. Zhu Dadian, the governor of Henan sent by the court, did it. I have some impression of Zhu Dadian. The Denglai mutiny in the fifth year of Chongzhen was the one he went to suppress..."

"I have also heard about this. Didn't there be many people coming to the military camp just now? It is said that it was a deputy general under Xu Dingguo who escaped from death and came to Xiangyang..."

"Does the court also want to attack the general? General Zuo is anxious for us to come..."

In the central army camp, many officers were talking in groups of three or five. It was already the third hour of You and the hour of Xu was about to reach Xu. At this time, most of the officers and soldiers were resting, and many officers were called up.

There has never been such a situation in the Xiangyang Camp, and it is inevitable that everyone will discuss it. Many people are very dissatisfied with Zuo Menggeng. Even the general officer Zuo Liangyu would not have such a move. No matter what major things happen, summoning everyone to the Central Army camp early tomorrow morning, the effect will be the same.

The neat steps sounded, and fully armed soldiers entered the central army's camp in a row.

The central army camp suddenly became quiet, and everyone was watching these fully armed soldiers.

These sergeants are very sensible and have never seen them before. Could it be the sergeants who have just entered the military camp?

Some officers had an angry expression on their faces. In fact, Zuo Menggeng had no prestige in the Xiangyang military camp. Everyone regarded him as a young man. If it weren't for Zuo Liangyu's face, no one would have paid attention to this young general. Zuo Menggeng could dispatch few troops in the Xiangyang camp, and the orders he issued were unlikely to be fully implemented.

Most of the soldiers in the Xiangyang camp came from the north and had long been accustomed to doing their own affairs. It was a helpless move to come to Huguang to join Zuo Liangyu. It was said that it was easy to enjoy the cool under the big tree, and you could always have a meal here.

When Deng Shiqiu entered the Central Army camp, the emotions of many officers were about to explode.

Seeing Deng Shiqiu walking to the front of the Central Army camp and step by step up the steps, someone finally couldn't help it.

"Who are you? Let us come to the Central Army Camp and what's going on..."

"What does these soldiers come to the Central Army Camp? Are you looking at us? Are you afraid that we will cause trouble..."

"Let Zuo Menggeng come out, we have to judge him..."

Deng Shiqiu looked at the many emotional officers and smiled coldly.

"Do you want to see Zuo Menggeng? I just came from him."

Deng Shiqiu's murderous words calmed everyone down. Everyone looked at Deng Shiqiu on the steps and looked at the fully armed soldiers around him, and suddenly felt something was wrong.

"This officer, Deng Shiqiu, general of Xuzhou, came to Huguang under the order to attack Zuo Liangyu, general of Huguang. Zuo Liangyu deceived the emperor and tried to rebel, and everyone was killed. Let's make a choice here, should we surrender to the court or follow the rebel Zuo Liangyu..."

The central army camp was in an instant, and dozens of officers rushed forward, and some people pointed at Deng Shiqiu.

"Why do you say that the general officer rebels? I'll just rebel if you think you want to rebel..."

"Brothers, don't listen to him. We go out and hurry to summon the brothers below and kill them..."

"Damn, you are looking for death, hand over General Zuo..."

Deng Shiqiu's face turned pale. He raised his right hand and made a slash.

Many fully armed soldiers raised their steel knives and spears in their hands and rushed forward. A shocking scream instantly appeared. You should know that those who entered the Central Army Camp are not allowed to carry weapons unless they are allowed. These officers either play in the barracks or are ready to rest. Suddenly, they received a notice and saw the military talisman, so they came to the Central Army Camp reluctantly. Even if they are good at their skills, how could they be able to defeat fully armed soldiers, let alone the most elite soldiers in the court.

Some officers gave up their resistance and rushed to the door of the Central Army's tent camp, rushed out of the Central Army's tent camp, and summoned the brothers in the military camp to have the chance to survive and reversal.

Sun Mingkai led five hundred soldiers who had already prepared, rushed into the central army camp in a row.

Deng Shiqiu had already walked out of the side door of the Central Army's camp and commanded 500 archers to guard various exits.

Before the operation, Deng Shiqiu discussed with Sun Mingkai that the impact flintlock rifle should not be used for the time being to avoid too much movement.

The remaining thousands of soldiers were waiting at the intersection to the Central Army's tent camp, holding impact flintlock rifles. If any soldiers dared to come to the Central Army's tent camp, what was waiting for them was sharp bullets.

Using the most thorough and bloody means to solve the problem is Deng Shiqiu's style of doing things. Of course, his strategy has been supported by the emperor and the court. If he wants to subdue the general of Huguang Zuo Liangyu, gentle means will be of no help.

The smell of blood spread in the central army camp. Many officers were frightened to find that the soldiers they faced were extremely powerful. Even many of them were experienced and had good skills. However, when faced with other people's steel knives and spears, they could not get up after one or two rounds.

As for rushing out of the gate and side of the Central Army camp, it was even more delusional. When some officers rushed to the gate, two or three soldiers surrounded him. After a few screams, a body was added to the ground.

Half a quarter of an hour passed, and there were not many officers standing in the Central Army's tent camp.

Some officers had already kneeled on the ground and gave up their resistance.

The barracks not far from the Central Army's tent were very quiet, and no soldiers noticed something strange here.

In this situation, as Deng Shiqiu and Sun Mingkai and others expected, ordinary sergeants had almost no intersection with officers above the Thousand General. They were familiar with low-level officers such as small flags and general flags in the army, especially many small flags, which had brothers with ordinary sergeants. If officers above the Thousand General Headquarters went to the Central Army camp, ordinary sergeants would not care about it.

Of course, this also left certain hidden dangers for the subsequent rectification of Deng Shiqiu and others. The military discipline of an army is corrupt, and officers at all levels have great relationships, or are the main responsibilities, but many general flags and small flags cannot be underestimated. If there are too many officers at the level of general flags and small flags, the military disciplines they bring out will definitely be corrupt.

No officer escaped from the Central Army Camp, and the camp gradually became quiet. The smell of blood had slowly drifted out, and Deng Shiqiu, who was standing outside, could smell it.

Finally, Sun Mingkai, covered in blood, walked out.

"Sir, no one has resisted. All the two hundred people who kneeled down and surrendered were taken into custody."

Deng Shiqiu snorted and shook his head.

"There were actually two hundred people kneeling down to surrender. I didn't expect that if these people arrived on the battlefield, what would be the use of them? Could it be that the soldiers under their command surrendered to the Later Jin Tartars and the thieves?"

Sun Mingkai also shook his head.

"I didn't expect that so many people would surrender on their knees. It is not ruled out that some of them were waiting for an opportunity."

Deng Shiqiu smiled coldly.

"Then let them wait. I want to see what actions will these officers who kneel down and surrender tomorrow."

More than 200 officers who surrendered on the ground were all gathered in the wing room next to the Central Army's tent camp to guard them. Sun Mingkai commanded many soldiers and began to clean up the Central Army's tent camp.

Deng Shiqiu, who was still standing outside the Central Army Camp, looked at the barracks not far away and killed the officers in the Xiangyang Camp. This was just the first step, or the simplest step. After all, there were less than a thousand people. Next, he had to control the Xiangyang Camp in the shortest time and headed to the Wuchang Camp as fast as possible.

The best way to stabilize the Xiangyang camp is to pull out the scums in the army and rectify the law on the spot, so that they can get the support of a large number of ordinary soldiers. However, Deng Shiqiu did not understand the situation of the Xiangyang camp. If he was given enough time, it would not be difficult to find the scums in the military camp, but he did not have that much time.

When Sun Mingkai walked over, Deng Shiqiu sighed deeply.

"Brother Sun, I'm thinking about what to do tomorrow morning."

Sun Mingkai thought for a moment.

"Sir General, I think that if we read the imperial edict directly, all the officers above the thousand generals of the Xiangyang camp were controlled by us. The remaining small flags, the general flags and the generals of the generals could not cause much storm. It would only take a certain amount of time to completely stabilize the Xiangyang camp."

Deng Shiqiu turned his head and looked at Sun Mingkai.

"Brother Sun, after tomorrow, you and I are afraid you will act separately. You stay in Xiangyang Camp and stabilize here. I will rush to Wuchang to deal with the confidant officers of Zuo Liangyu in the Wuchang Military Camp."

Sun Mingkai nodded. It would definitely not work for both of them to stay in Xiangyang Camp, and it would not work for them to go to Wuchang Prefecture City. They could only act separately.

"Okay, General, I can leave a thousand soldiers, and the rest of the soldiers will follow you to Wuchang."

Deng Shiqiu waved his hand.
