Mother, I have returned to the throne.

Chapter 426: Rebellious Officials and Traitors

"Get ready! We'll set off as soon as the sun rises tomorrow!"

Seeing the deputy general and Zheng He nodding repeatedly, General Wei immediately gave the order.

"Be sure to greet the brothers before we start. We're going on a long march this time, and we're definitely going to have to endure some hardships!"

"As long as we cross the mountains, I promise that the situation will improve. When I meet His Majesty, you will all be considered meritorious officials. I guarantee that everyone will be promoted three levels!"

In order to keep everyone together, General Wei made a huge promise at this moment.

As soon as these words came out, the two people in front of him nodded at the same time.

However, it is hard to tell whether it is true or false from the expression on his face.

After bidding farewell to General Wei, the two hurriedly prepared that night.

He gathered everyone together and set off as soon as it was light, leading everyone to leave through the city gate with light luggage.

When they arrived in the wilderness, General Wei originally thought that after two days of screening, most of his men had escaped.

However, they never expected that less than half an hour after leaving Tianshan City, many deserters appeared again.

Seeing the number of troops behind him drop sharply in an instant, General Wei was furious.

If it weren't for the overall situation, I would have ordered my generals to lead the troops in pursuit!

But thinking about my current situation, I am clearly racing against time. If I delay for too long, my life may not be saved!

In the end, General Wei could only suppress the anger in his heart and lead everyone to run away.

Under his leadership, everyone rushed all the way until an hour later, they finally arrived outside a small woods.

The previous forced march had consumed a lot of the horses' energy. In order to prevent anyone from tracking them, General Wei quickly ordered everyone to rest in the woods.

However, General Wei did not expect that when his deputy general saw this situation, he turned over and dismounted, and glanced at the people around him with a gloomy face.

Many of General Wei's close associates were personally selected by the deputy general. At this moment, they held a meeting and without saying a word, turned their backs and wiped the swords in their hands.

Seeing that the time was ripe, the deputy general immediately shouted: "Do it!"

The next second, several people around drew their swords and rushed straight towards General Wei without saying a word!

On the periphery of the team, many teams were approaching the center. It seemed that they were all troops arranged by the deputy general!

"Are you planning a rebellion?"

In just a moment, General Wei realized that something was wrong and roared angrily.

The whole person was shocked, and he stood up suddenly, pulling out a long sword from his waist.

However, facing such angry rebuke from General Wei, the deputy general did not show any panic on his face, but instead snorted coldly.

"Wei, what qualifications do you have to accuse others of rebellion? The real rebel is clearly you!"

"fart!"

General Wei was horrified and flew into a rage. "I've always treated you well, and your behavior is simply ungrateful. What qualifications do you have to blame me?"

"Mr. Wei, I was never your man!"

Facing General Wei's comments, the deputy general shouted angrily: "Don't think I don't know what you did. How many of our brothers died because of you?"

"You are now at the end of your rope, just wait to be captured!"

"Follow my command and kill all these traitors!" General Wei saw that it was useless to say more, so he shouted without saying a word.

The next second, Zheng He beside him immediately nodded and hurriedly called on his men to draw their weapons.

"General, I'm here to protect you!"

General Wei originally thought that Zheng He should be on his side, but no one expected that as soon as Zheng He finished speaking, the people behind him suddenly turned their swords.

Instead, he turned around and chopped the weapon in his hand directly at General Wei and his men!

Such a sudden change left everyone stunned.

Even the deputy general who had spoken rudely before had his eyes wide open.

The person he was most afraid of before was Zheng He. He originally thought that Zheng He was just a loyal follower of General Wei. If he had known this, he would have turned the tables long ago. Why would he have waited until now?

However, after a brief moment of distraction, the deputy general finally reacted.

The current situation is very good for me, so what are I waiting for?

He immediately waved his hand and roared, "Everyone, follow me! Whoever can capture that bastard named Wei will be rewarded with a great achievement!"

As soon as the words fell, the deputy general took the lead and rushed towards the direction of General Wei.

……

Zhenbei Guanzhong.

The next morning, Song Yuan and Murong Lie held banquets in the general's mansion according to their original plan to entertain the generals who had been rescued by Zhenbei Guanzhong before.

The banquet was just halfway through when Murong Lie suddenly changed his tone and told the truth about General Wei's actions.

Moreover, there was no concealment of Song Yuan's identity.

To be honest, just say that the entire Zhenbei Army will be taken over by the prince in the future!

Such a statement naturally caused a wave among the crowd.

At this moment, how could everyone not react?

Song Yuan's behavior is clearly intended to seize power!

However, considering Song Yuan's usual prestige, no one turned against him on the spot.

Taking this opportunity, Song Yuan and Murong Lie took turns speaking and analyzing the current situation to everyone in front of them.

After hearing the last word, half of the generals in the crowd chose to obey Song Yuan's orders and follow him as their leader from now on.

As for the other half, they would rather die than surrender!

Among them, most are sons, nephews or disciples of high-ranking officials in the court.

If they were to join Song Yuan now, they would have too many concerns and would naturally have to fight to the end.

Song Yuan realized the identities of these people, shook his head with some helplessness, and finally gave up. He waved his hand and ordered everyone to be imprisoned.

In order to prevent others from misunderstanding, Song Yuan repeatedly assured that there would be plenty of wine and meat in the prison, and as long as everyone did not resist, he would never make things difficult for them!

After successfully controlling the current situation, Song Yuan returned to the banquet and made a promise to the generals who had surrendered to him.

"Everyone, to prevent any unforeseen circumstances, from today onwards, the deputy commander beside you, my friend, will probably have to be replaced. I hope you can understand!"

"To be honest, I'm doing this because I'm afraid you're secretly disobeying me and stirring up trouble behind my back!"

"I don't need to explain the importance of Zhenbei Pass. You should all know it. To be honest, I don't want any of the Great Qin people to die in vain, and I don't want to go to war with my father!"

"If everyone can understand, once the situation stabilizes, I will personally pour you a glass of wine to apologize!"

"And I want to make it clear that everything I did was not for rebellion. As long as my father doesn't force me, I will never betray him!"

"I just want to lead you all in a counterattack against the barbarians, expand the territory of our Great Qin, and use the blood of our enemies to wash away the shame we suffered five years ago!"
