Chapter 907: The Threat of Killing Nine Clans
Upon hearing this, Liang Cheng suddenly laughed out loud, "Hahaha, what a complete distortion of right and wrong!"
Seeing this, Jing He shouted, "Soldiers, capture the traitor Liang Cheng alive! Charge!"
The battle instantly became fierce and stalemate. Both sides fought back and forth for a long time without having time to say anything.
When many people were almost exhausted, Liang Chengcai said sternly: "Jinghe, if what Sheng Zhan said is true, have you ever seen the late emperor's shadow guards after he ascended the throne?"
As everyone knows, the Shadow Guard Division is only loyal to the orthodox emperor. If Sheng Zhan's throne comes in a legitimate way, the Shadow Guard Division will naturally be handed over to him.
Jing He frowned when he heard this. He had never thought about this before.
Indeed, after the emperor ascended the throne, he had never seen the Shadow Guard Division come out to do anything. The emperor said that the Shadow Guard Division was handling important matters he had assigned to them and would only return to the capital after completing them.
Liang Cheng sat steadily on his horse. Seeing Jing He's thoughtful expression, he continued, "The former Crown Prince is now in our Ebei Army. Our Ebei Army is not trying to separate Ezhou from the Great Jin, but to help His Royal Highness take back the world that originally belonged to him!"
As soon as these words came out, the soldiers on both sides were in an uproar!
A strange scene then appeared on the battlefield.
"What do you mean the former crown prince is really not dead?"
"I remember now. Didn't the King of Zhao also want to attack Ezhou before? But he retreated halfway through the battle and even asked Old Qi to publish some kind of document."
"But didn't the Emperor say that it was Prince Zhao's wolfish ambitions that led him to overthrow the imperial court, and that's why he said that?"
"Well, whatever the people above say is up to them."
"So what should we do now? Fight or not?"
"Who knows? We can just do what others do."
The above is the discussion of the court army.
Most of the soldiers in the Northern Hubei Army looked excited and mysterious. Not only did they not think there was anything wrong with the former crown prince being in the Northern Hubei Army, but they were all guessing who the former crown prince was.
"Do I even need to guess? It must be Cheng Yun!"
"Why is it Cheng Yun? I guess it's Cheng San!"
"I think it's Cheng San too. Think about it, Cheng San and Cheng Yun often discuss matters with the general, but it's Cheng San who always stays in the general's tent the longest!"
"No way, Cheng Yun's name at least sounds reasonable. How could Prince Cheng Sanxian choose such a careless name?"
"If you ask me"
For the Hubei Northern Army, it doesn’t matter whether Cheng San or Cheng Yun is the prince. The main reason is that these two people have a certain prestige in the army and are easy to get along with.
The voices of both sides' discussion gradually spread, and Li Junyi, the commander-in-chief, was completely paralyzed. It turned out that the emperor had sent him here to kill the late crown prince!
The late emperor was kind to his ministers, and few ministers in the court were disrespectful. Li Junyi was struggling at this time. Should he urge these people to continue fighting, or let them surrender and stand on the side of the late prince?
Jinghe's face was very gloomy and he was also considering it.
From the very beginning, he did not want to fight this war with Liang Cheng, but he received a salary from the court and his family was all in the capital. If he rebelled, what would happen to his family?
Just when Jinghe was in a dilemma, Li Junyi stood on the command vehicle at some point.
"Don't listen to the traitors' lies that distort right and wrong! Soldiers, you all receive military pay from the imperial court, and your families are proud of you serving in the army! If anyone rebels today, His Majesty will execute his entire clan!"
Li Junyi's words made the imperial army's hearts tremble. Their hearts, which had been a little shaken just now, stabilized in an instant. When they looked at the Hubei Northern Army again, their eyes were a little complicated.
