Chapter 1051 Something Big Happened

Dawn.

Pei Mao, the commander of the Juzhou garrison, was still asleep.

"Dong dong dong..."

Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door.

"General Pei, it's bad! Something big has happened!"

Then, the anxious voices of the guards were heard outside the door.

As the commander-in-chief of an army, Pei Mao was still very vigilant.

Pei Mao woke up suddenly when he heard the sound. Without even bothering to put on his shoes, he quickly ran to the door and opened it.

"What happened?"

Pei Mao hurriedly asked his panicked soldiers.

The personal guard said anxiously: "Jingbei King Yun Zheng personally led 8,000 cavalry to raid Lu Lin's camp. Except for a very small number of people, all of Lu Lin's camp surrendered to Jingbei King!"

"what?"

Pei Mao's face changed drastically. He grabbed his personal guard and asked fiercely, "Do you know the consequences of spreading false military information?"

At this moment, Pei Mao felt like his head was about to explode.

There are 15,000 defenders in Lulin Camp!

So many people surrendered to Yun Zheng?

No matter what happened, he, as the commander-in-chief of the Juzhou garrison, could not escape responsibility.

Yun Zheng has already started attacking Juzhou?

"I would never dare to spread false military intelligence!"

The guards were frightened by Pei Mao's terrifying appearance and turned pale. They stammered, "This... this is the news that General Zhou risked his life to bring back..."

"Zhou Daogong?"

Pei Mao was flustered and asked hurriedly: "Where is he?"

Zhou Daogong!

He was now about to ask Zhou Daogong what was going on!

What does Zhou Daogong do for a living!

How could an entire battalion of troops surrender to Yun Zheng?

The guard answered cautiously: "General Zhou was shot by an arrow while fleeing, and fainted as soon as he arrived in the city. There were more than a dozen people who escaped with General Zhou, and they all confirmed the news General Zhou sent back..."

Hearing what the guards said, Pei Mao hurried back to the bed, put on his clothes and shoes hastily, and shouted anxiously, "Quick, take me to see them!"

……

When Zhou Daogong woke up, it was already the next day.

Upon learning that Zhou Daogong had woken up, Pei Mao hurried back after arranging the defenses.

Although those people said that Yun Zheng did not seem to have any plans to attack other places in Juzhou, Pei Mao still did not dare to take it lightly.

If Yun Zheng launches a surprise attack and he fails to prepare even basic defense, he will be in trouble even if he has ten heads.

"General... General..."

Seeing Pei Mao, Zhou Daogong spoke weakly, with shame written all over his face.

"What on earth did you do?"

Pei Mao looked at Zhou Daogong with blazing eyes, "Why would King Jingbei suddenly lead his army to raid Lulin's camp?"

"Yun Zheng is making up a false accusation!"

Zhou Daogong showed a trace of anger on his face, and said breathlessly: "Yun Zheng said that I...sent people to sneak attack their patrol team patrolling around Badong Town and killed them...dozens of people, but...but I didn't do this at all..."

"Are you sure you didn't do this?"

There was a gleam in Pei Mao's eyes, and he seemed not to believe what Zhou Daogong said.

He had already asked the soldiers who had escaped with Zhou Daogong.

Although the soldiers did not know what exactly happened, they were aware of the entire process of the surrender of the people in Lulin Camp.

The Fourth Prince kept saying that Zhou Daogong was trying to frame him, and the generals in Lulin Camp all thought that Zhou Daogong had done something secretly to anger Yun Zheng.

He would never believe it if someone said that this matter had nothing to do with Zhou Daogong.

He was sure that Zhou Daogong was hiding something from him.

There must be a reason why Yun Zheng suddenly raided Lu Lin’s camp!

"I really have never done this!"

Zhou Daogong shook his head with difficulty, "Either this matter was made up by Yun Zheng, or... someone is trying to sow discord between Yun Zheng and the court behind the scenes..."

Listening to Zhou Daogong's words, Pei Mao couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Does it really have nothing to do with Zhou Daogong?

"You'd better tell the truth!"

Pei Mao still didn't believe it, and looked at Zhou Daogong with a dark face, "If you tell the truth, I can plead for you in front of General Zhao because you would rather die than surrender! But if you insist on not telling the truth, and General Zhao investigates, I can't help you!"

Pei Mao directly moved Zhao Ji out.

If Zhou Daogong really did nothing, why would the Fourth Prince do this?

They must have pushed the Fourth Prince into a corner, so he had no choice but to do this.

Zhou Daogong's face was full of bitterness, and he wailed helplessly: "I really didn't do anything..."

Seeing that Zhou Daogong still refused to speak, Pei Mao couldn't help but get angry.

They have caused such a big trouble, but Zhou Daogong is still stubborn?

This bastard most likely received a secret order from the crown prince to deliberately stir up a dispute between the Juzhou garrison and the Fuzhou garrison, so as to hold the Fourth Prince accountable for his poor supervision of the army.

Their target is the Fourth Prince!

But they certainly never dreamed that Yun Zheng's reaction would be so extreme.

This time, they shot themselves in the foot, didn't they?

The key point is that Zhou Daogong also implicated himself!

He has already reported the events of the Lulin camp to Zhao Ji and the imperial court.

It is estimated that the court will receive the news by this afternoon at the latest.

I don’t know if the Crown Prince who is the regent in the court will regret receiving this news.

"Since you won't tell me, just stay calm and take care of your wounds, and wait for General Zhao to hold you accountable!"

Pei Mao was too lazy to say more to Zhou Daogong, so he turned around and walked out.

This bastard is loyal to the prince.

What exactly is going on? I'm afraid only he and the prince know!

Looking at Pei Mao's departing back, Zhou Daogong opened his mouth slightly.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Daogong still didn't say anything.

This time, he had a narrow escape from death.

If Miaoyin's arrow had missed the target by a little bit, his life would have been in danger.

I hope this self-torture tactic can achieve the effect they expected!

Pei Mao walked out of Zhou Daogong's room with a frosty look on his face.

"General, have you figured it out?"

When he saw Pei Mao, the lieutenant general immediately stepped forward to ask.

"This bastard is very stubborn and won't give in even if he dies." Pei Mao's face darkened as he said in a deep voice, "There must be a reason for this. Let's wait for the court or General Zhao to send someone to question him!"

"Will we be implicated?"

The lieutenant general asked with some concern.

"What do you think?"

Pei Mao looked at the lieutenant general unhappily, "The entire Lulin camp has surrendered to King Jingbei. Even if it has nothing to do with us, we are still to blame!"

Why did the troops of Lulin Camp surrender?

Everyone knows that those people did not dare to fight with Yun Zheng because of his power.

But to be frank, he, as the commander of the Juzhou garrison, was also responsible for his poor military management.

It depends on how the court handles this matter.

If the court holds him severely accountable, he will definitely have a hard time.

Even if the court does not hold him accountable severely, he will definitely be in trouble.

Whenever he thought about this, Pei Mao became furious.

He clearly did nothing and knew nothing, yet he was implicated.

If it weren't for Zhou Daogong's dying look, he would have wanted to tie him up and whip him a few times to vent his anger...
