Seeing Ma Changda's hesitation, Liao Yongzhong advised: "It's better to be embarrassed now than to be embarrassed later when you return to Beijing."
Ma Dada finally agreed: "Let him in."
Zhao Lin entered the tent alone and bowed to Ma Da. "General Ma, it's been five days since you sent out your troops. Why are you standing here motionless?"
Ma Dachang remembered what he had said before: the rebellion would be quelled in three days, and said angrily: "It is not your turn to question my affairs."
Zhao Lin said calmly, "General Ma, everyone's watching this. You probably don't know, but just yesterday, someone in neighboring Yangzhou started a rebellion. It's said they saw the fighting here and thought the imperial court was incompetent and couldn't defeat them."
Ma Dada's face changed drastically.
If he delayed time and gave rebels from all over the country an opportunity to rebel, he would never be able to atone for his sins even if he died a hundred times.
But we can't just ignore Zhao Chenhan.
Zhao Lin said, "General Ma, the rebels only number a few thousand, and you have over 20,000 men. You once boasted that you could pacify them in three days, but now you're sitting here doing nothing. What do you want to do? Could it be..."
Zhao Lin glared at Ma Dada: "Are you going to rebel too?"
“Nonsense!”
Ma Dada slammed the table and stood up: "This general has been deeply favored by the emperor, how could he rebel?"
Zhao Lin said calmly, "Who knows?"
"you?"
Ma Dada was so angry that he ordered his personal soldiers to drag Zhao Lin out and chop him into pieces.
Liao Yongzhong hurriedly said, "Master Zhao, it's not that we don't want to fight. I'm sure you also know that my prince has been captured by the rebels..."
"What? Prince Zhao was captured?"
Zhao Lin showed a look of surprise and asked, "When did it happen?"
He doesn't know?
Seeing that Zhao Lin didn't seem to be lying, Liao Yongzhong had no choice but to tell the whole story. Finally, he said, "It's not that we don't want to quell the rebellion, but the life of my heir is more important."
Zhao Lin nodded and said, "So, have you reported this to His Majesty?"
"How can such a thing disturb the emperor?"
After a pause, Liao Yongzhong concealed the fact that Zhao Chenhan lost an ear due to the fake imperial envoy and imperial edict.
Zhao Lin exclaimed in astonishment, "The rebels actually cut off Prince Zhao's ear? Damn it! General Ma must put down such vicious and ruthless people as soon as possible."
Ma Changda said, "We are planning a surprise attack at night in three days. We will definitely be able to rescue the prince and put down the rebellion."
"Okay! I'll be waiting for your good news." Zhao Lin said.
After Zhao Lin left, Ma Dada immediately said, "We will attack tonight."
Liao Yongzhong was surprised: "Tonight?"
"good."
Ma Changda said, "I suspect Zhao Lin has connections with the rebels. He must have informed them that we would launch a surprise attack in three days. This way, we could catch them off guard."
"Good idea!" Liao Yongzhong exclaimed.
As a result, the camp was relaxed outside but tense inside, and all the soldiers ate, drank and rested in advance.
It was three o'clock in the morning.
At Ma Changda's command, the local soldiers of Qingzhou stopped moving, and his three thousand personal soldiers quietly set off and quietly entered the mountains under the guidance of scouts.
"I will kill you!"
Zhao Chenhan stared at Song Huaian and roared.
Losing an ear almost ruined his future career.
Even if the emperor doesn't care, the enemies will attack this aspect without hesitation.
Zhao Chenhan wished he could eat Song Huaian alive.
Song Huaian smiled faintly and said, "If you want to blame someone, blame Ma Changda and the others. They didn't care whether you lived or died, and actually used a fake imperial envoy and a fake imperial edict to deceive us. If you die, remember who your enemy is."
"Hmph! General Ma will definitely come to rescue me." Zhao Chenhan said.
As soon as the words fell.
Suddenly there were shouts and screams outside.
The shouts and cries of killing filled the mountains, as well as the painful groans and panicked cries from all around, mixed together and disturbed the dark night.
"Military Advisor! Military Advisor!"
Lao Debiao rushed in, blood on his body: "Officers and soldiers, officers and soldiers are attacking us by surprise."
Song Huaian said: "Quickly retreat into the tunnel."
"The tunnel has been exposed." Lao Debiao said with a sad face, "They rushed out from the tunnel."
Song Huaian praised: "As expected of General Dingyuan, he is truly extraordinary."
Zhao Chenhan sneered, "You're still so calm when facing death. You're such a loser for being a traitor."
Song Huaian smiled and said, “With you in our hands, we won’t die.”
Zhao Chenhan's face looked grim.
A good counter-insurgency operation turned out like this because he was suddenly arrested.
If the news gets out, it will definitely affect his reputation.
I need to think carefully about how to plan and change this event to my advantage.
Song Huaian said: "Heavenly King, take Zhao Chenhan with you, and let's rush out together. As long as he is in our hands, no one will dare to kill us."
"good!"
Lao Debiao gathered a group of people, took Zhao Chenhan with him and rushed out desperately, and managed to make a way out and go deep into the mountains.
It only took half an hour for Ma Changda's soldiers to completely capture the rebel camp, killing or capturing all the rebels and putting them all together.
"General, the prince has been taken away by Lao Debiao, and there are only a dozen of them left."
Liao Yongzhong crawled over to report.
“Damn it!”
Ma Dada casually pointed at a few guards and said, "You guys follow me."
Lao Debiao and others were in a panic and had no choice but to run outside. The road to the mountain was blocked by Ma Changda, so they had no choice but to run outside and actually ran out of Kulong Mountain.
"It's over!"
Seeing that they had left the mountain, Lao Debiao's heart sank immediately.
There are weekly selections in the mountains, but there is no chance at all when you come out.
What's more, there are only a dozen men left around him.
Dadada...
A series of horse hoofbeats sounded behind him.
The pursuers are coming.
