Chapter 1004: Hell

Cui Yiheng and Guo Jue have been waiting for rabbits in that area for many days, if there is really a barbarian who talks about a decisive battle, how can they not be aware of it?

Twenty thousand barbarians? Why didn't they see it?

Where is the decisive battle?

The people came too quickly! The mountain roads in the place they chose to attack were steep, and before they could clean up the battlefield here, thousands of people flocked there?

However, the people's cries shook the sky, and their feelings were sincere, and they were definitely not pretentious. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The only possibility is that his northern army and the people have been tricked!

With a hunch that the basket had been stabbed, it was naturally difficult for the Northern Army to withdraw easily. They have to appease the people, explain their behavior, and probe the so-called barbarians, right?

The northern army led by Cui Yiheng and Guo Jue followed them to the town more than ten miles away, but they were startled by the scene in front of them.

The whole town is like Shura Hell, a sea of fire, dead bodies everywhere, and rivers of blood. There was only blood on the tip of the nose, and only crying on the top of the head.

In the land of the small town, in addition to the more than 1,000 people who escaped, the innocent people with a total population of nearly 10,000 were killed. It was said that the barbarians came to the town secretly this morning and planned to rob it, but after hearing that the 100,000 southern army was pressing on a large scale, the prince of the world was about to arrive with people, and they wanted to wipe out the barbarians without leaving a piece of armor.

The barbarian panicked and planned to retreat. But the spies came again, and the southern army and the prince were attacked fifteen miles away, with countless casualties.

The barbarians were overjoyed, and suddenly had a heart of revenge, so they simply didn't do anything, and came to a three-light, and then walked away generously.

It is precisely because of this that the common people regard the Northern Army as the culprit of committing heinous crimes, and they are eager to skin it and drink its blood. If it weren't for the sudden appearance and atrocities of the Northern Army, the Prince and the Southern Army would have arrived long ago.

One can drive away the barbarians and kill them all, and the other can preserve their stable life.

At this moment, not only was their protector killed, but also their family members and siblings were killed, and even most of their homes were burned.

On the other side, the large army of the Southern Army had even turned around and left, obviously not planning to care about the people in their place.

Just because of these northern troops who killed thousands of knives, they were suddenly put in boundless pain and torture, which was clearly to drive them out!

Anyway, it is also death, it is better to avenge the flesh and blood of the compatriots and the unjustly killed Southern Army.

It is precisely with such thoughts that there was a scene where the people wanted to devour the Northern Army alive before!

Cui Yiheng took a light horse to chase after the so-called barbarians, but he couldn't find the slightest trace of the other party.

To make matters worse, the matter spread to several surrounding towns and villages in just half an hour. For a time, there were many complaints, and the reputation of the imperial court and the northern army fell to the bottom, and there was a faint tendency to continue to heat up and ferment.

This incident is obviously difficult to get better.

No matter how stupid Cui Yiheng was, he guessed that there must be a lot of southern troops mixed in with these people, fanning the flames from time to time, inciting uneasiness and revenge.

As for those so-called barbarians, either the Southern Army pretended to be, or they had already colluded with the Pingnan Palace, cooperated with Wang Ci's plan and acted in a play.

The barbarians don't have to pay any price, they can get a place of wealth, enough for them to eat and drink for a year and a half, why not?

In the end, all of this is just for the sake of catching the emperor.

That Wang Ci is so terrible, he has counted everything.

As soon as these 100,000 people are deployed, why worry about the emperor not making a move?

It's the Beijing soldiers who came, and that's the emperor's responsibility!

It's the Northern Army that came, and that's the responsibility of the Guo family!

No matter whether you advance or retreat, it is the foundation of the emperor and the court that is injured.

Cui Yiheng realized this for the first time.

Guo Jue has a special identity.

As the backbone of the imperial court, the Guo family must not afford to lose anything, so the reputation of Guo Jue and the Guo family must not be damaged.

Guo Jiajun has been holding heavy troops for several generations, so that many old nobles who cannot be reused are coveted, and as soon as the handle comes out at this moment, there is no need for Wang Ci to make a move, and there will be many people in the court who are eager to step on it, waiting for an opportunity to get a piece of the pie.

Planting false accusations, blaming the blame, spreading rumors, and then the division of military power is the result that Wang Ci has to wait, right?

At the same time, the official document recording the situation of the day in the Wansui Mountain in Beijing was also urgently transmitted to him by 800 li, and the king of Pingnan was violently killed?

In addition, the prince of Pingnan on his side is gone, and the southern army has withdrawn?

So this ...... With this ruthlessness, this means, and this ability, besides Wang Ci, who else can it be?

This game is inevitably too big!

This strengthened Cui Yiheng's speculation.

What the other party wants in the final analysis is the reputation of the emperor and the court, and the hearts of the people!

Through the words of the document, he could almost speculate that the trend of the incident would evolve into: the emperor murdered his uncle first, and killed his cousins later, for his own selfish interests, regardless of the barbarian invasion, regardless of the life or death of the people, the southern army who insisted on going his own way would ask for the people's lives, and the southern army that eliminated the harm for the people launched a bloody massacre!

Such an emperor can be punished by everyone! Such a court should be overthrown by all of them!

What a Wang Ci, he is more hateful than his father!

His father only wants to plot to usurp the throne, and he wants to rebel openly!

Hehe, I don't go to hell, who does!

Therefore, Cui Yiheng, who was "alone", decided to take on the responsibility of "wrongly killing" the Southern Army and the prince who had no intention of rebelling, and shouldered the crime of implicating the lives and property of nearly 10,000 people.

More importantly, he has to add one more serious crime! He must admit that he took troops south without the emperor's order, and it has nothing to do with the northern army and the emperor!

Three major crimes, he must bear it with all his might!

In the face of the national disaster, in order to try his best to avoid the misery of life, this is his choice!

He is not only responsible for the Guo family, but also for the emperor and the imperial court!

Even if it was a crime that would never be rehabilitated, he had to be willing to accept it.

He immediately issued a military order and ordered Guo Jue to secretly take their elites from all walks of life of the Northern Army back to Beijing immediately. They must have never been here, and they have just returned to Beijing after carrying out the military order in the Northland!

Cui Yiheng himself took hundreds of people to stay in place to deal with the aftermath, and promised that the local people would give them an explanation.

Guo Jue was unwilling to do such an unrighteous act.

But Cui Yiheng gave four reasons that left him speechless.

One, this is a military order! Cui Yiheng is the master, and he Guo Jue is the deputy, so he has to follow!

Second, he must protect these hundreds of elites under his command from being implicated, so that he can take revenge to a greater extent in the future! It is his duty as a general!

Third, behind him Guo Jue is the Guo family, and his eldest son and grandson must be responsible for the family. And Cui Yiheng thinks that the dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, and has no worries!

Fourth, the situation in Beijing must be extremely complicated at this moment, and if he returns to Beijing one step earlier, he may be able to help the emperor by one or two! If he is lucky, he may be able to take advantage of the chaos to make meritorious contributions, and when the time comes, the merits of the northern army will be offset by the merits, and he may be able to save himself from one or two punishments!
