Chapter 12 General Xuan Mian Rong -5
The commander of the Fifth Army in the north of the town, Kremarcus, was shot dead on his way back to the camp. The news spread to the camp that night, and Tong Guan seemed to have been slapped in the face. The Jinguan Mansion could not find out the whereabouts of the assassins, and Tong Shuai had nowhere to vent his anger, so he raised his tent overnight and summoned all the army commanders. The spearhead of the investigation was aimed at the Hebei generals who had a holiday with Marcus, and Tian Shizhen, the commander of the Jingsai Second Army who had fought with Marcus, bore the brunt.
"Dashuai, the last general will be wronged." Tian Shizhen was called by the soldiers to wake up in the bed, and just handed over the saber to the guard, he was immediately cut off his hands and escorted to the tent to kneel. Fights and brawls in the barracks are commonplace, and if the commander of an army is assassinated, it is not a trivial matter, and it will result in loss of official status at the least, and loss of life at the worst.
"Tian Shizhen, it is clear that you are jealous because of the competition for the wind, and you bought the life of General Keree, and you dare to quibble?" After Zhou Dingchen, the secretary in charge, angrily reprimanded Tian Shizhen, he turned to Tong Guan and bowed and said: "Killing a colleague is a capital crime, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, please quickly behead Tian Shizhen and show it to the public!" As soon as he beckoned, the two knife and axe hands pressed Tian Shizhen down again, and as long as Tong Guan nodded slightly, he dragged it down to correct the military law.
Marching Sima Wang Yan shook his head secretly in his heart, Tong Guan let Zhou Dingchen come out and act like this, it was clearly the idea of cutting through the mess with a quick knife, killing Tian Shizhen, not only giving an explanation to the Hu cavalry of the Kelie Department, but also deterring the old general of the Hebei camp, and this Tian Shizhen was the favorite general of the former Hebei camp to deploy Liu Yanqing, and once instigated the generals to persuade Liu Yanqing to resist the order, Tong Guan was only afraid that he would have a murderous intention for a long time, and he never got the handle to take advantage of it. Wang Yan thought while looking at the generals present, he sent the Jinwei Mansion to assassinate the Yu Yu to survey the scene, the location of the assassin is about one hundred and fifty steps away from Keree, the wolf's tooth carving arrow penetrates the bones, it must be a three-stone hard bow, although there is no shortage of archery masters with great strength among the people, but most of the people who can hold the three-stone bow and kill with one arrow are in the army, so Wang Yan also deduced that the person who presided over the assassination of Tian Shizhen must be the general in the Hebei camp. It's just that it's hard to say who it is, after all, there are 200,000 troops in Hebei, and there are countless hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
His eyes fell on Han Shizhong's face, only to see him standing calmly on the ground, according to the return of the meticulous work, Tian Keer would fight for prostitutes, and there were many generals who had black hands, this Han Shizhong has been standing far away, staying out of the matter, this person is being supported by Tong Guan, the newlywed Yan Er Chunfeng is proud, and there is no direct conflict with Kelie, among the generals, he is one of the least suspected.
Zhou Dingchen's words came out, Tong Guan didn't say anything, and the beads of sweat on Tian Shizhen's forehead, who was pressed to the ground, came out, and he struggled desperately and shouted: "Dashuai, I was wronged!" In a hurry, he actually shouted loudly: "I am not the only one who has a gap with Kereh, why did you kill me," he looked at Shang Qiong, the commander of the First Army of Jingsai, and shouted: "Old Shang, you had wine that day, didn't you say that you were going to kill this Hu man a long time ago?" He looked at Hussein, who was in the Xiaoxiong army, and shouted, "*, that day in the camp and Kereh fight, you persuaded you to fight, and you really kicked that guy several times, one of which was also kicked in my head, the most insidious thing in the camp is you, you killed Kereh, right?" One person does things and one person does it, so why bother to implicate me? ”
Hu Sai'an's face suddenly turned blue, and just as he was about to start his confession, Tian Shizhen shouted to Jin Yaochen, the commander of Ningshuo's Third Army: "Old Jin, the Hu cavalry of the Kelie Department has taken away all the forage you have hoarded in Zhuangzi, and you have also polluted two women, you hate it so much." He also said to Yang Kuo of the loyal army: "Old Yang, you told me that if Kremarcus died, it would be okay for Hu Qi to be divided into various armies. ”
At this time, in order to save his life, Tian Shizhen racked his brains and confided all the unfavorable words of the generals of the ordinary army to the Kereh Department, involving more than a dozen generals in Hebei, and the faces of the generals were blue and white, and they were still a little sympathetic to this person just now, but at this moment, they couldn't wait to put Tian Shizhen out of the account for the knife and axeman, and cut off the head that was biting indiscriminately.
At this time, Tong Guan was a little hesitant, he wanted to borrow Tian Shizhen's head to end the matter, but Tian Shizhen climbed so many generals, and Sima Wang Yan, the marching soldier in the tent, stood with his nose and nose and heart, looking like he had nothing to do with himself, but Tong Guan knew very much in his heart, one of the most important responsibilities of the Jinguan Mansion was to monitor the border generals, Tian Shizhen's words in today's account may be in the hands of Shen Yun tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow will reach the official's house. He was in the river, far away from the Jingshi, and when the case was still suspicious, he killed the general, and it was difficult to say how Shen Yun would slander himself in front of the officials.
"This nail should have been driven back sooner." Tong Guan felt a rare sense of remorse in his heart, his face was as cloudy as the candle fire in the camp, and he said to Wang Yan: "Although the murder of the commander of Kelie has not yet been investigated, the most serious suspicion of this Tian Shizhen is undoubted. ”
Wang Yan bowed and said, "What the adults said is very true. He secretly sneered in his heart, and took this Tian Shizhen into custody, saying that it sounded good, as long as he was tortured, coerced and lured, he confessed to this murder case and made it an iron case, and this eunuch had a good calculation.
Tong Guan nodded slightly, after Tian Shizhen was taken into custody, it took a little time, and he used the means, and he was gone, no one could say whether it was or not, and he was about to raise his hand to let the knife and axe hand drag Tian Shizhen down to be detained, and suddenly there was a loud noise outside the camp, and the handsome tent was located in the middle of the camp, and the sound of people neighing and crying fathers and mothers could be heard.
All the generals looked at each other, and even Tian Shizhen stopped shouting grievances, straightened up and looked out, "What's the matter?" Tong Guan was groaning, and a personal soldier rushed in and said: "Dashuai, Hu people, the barbarians of the Keree Department have rebelled!" Thousands of cavalry outside surrounded the camp and fired arrows, trying to get justice for their patriarch! The brothers who were on duty in the camp were also killed and wounded. ”
The noise outside was still there, and as soon as the words of the soldiers fell, the generals in the battalion suddenly turned their heads and ears in a chaotic manner, and the sound even overpowered the noise outside. Tian Shizhen, who was tied to the ground, showed joy on his face, and said loudly on the ground: "I have long seen that these Hu people are uneasy and kind, please go to war, if you don't kill these Di Yi, the last general will come to see you!" He also relied on this military order, the Jingsai army is the most elite cavalry in the old armies of Hebei Xingying, the initial source of soldiers are selected from the Han people in Hebei in Youyan Prefecture, and the Liao people are as deep as the sea, can ride and shoot, and the mounts used are all purchased from the Xia Kingdom's Western Regions good horses, can carry heavy armor to charge the battle, therefore, the Jingsai army is the whole army is heavy armor, and the blades used are selected from the best ration, and finally become a trump card in the hands of Hebei Xingying. When Emperor Wuzong was fighting in the north and west, the Jingsai army was the vanguard in the battle, and after retreating, the beheading was the most, and the loss was the least. And the Jingsai Second Army is the elite main force of the Jingsai Army, Tian Shizhen has been in command for a long time, and it is not a problem to confidently defeat the Hu cavalry outside.
The generals of the Hebei camp also woke up, as long as the charge of the Hu cavalry of the Kerebu was confirmed, even if the killing of the Keremark was not successful, it would not be easy to pursue it any longer, and they all asked Ying to fight, the strength of the Fifth Army in Zhenbei was clear to everyone, and there were only more than 3,000 Hu cavalry who could fight, and it was said that there were still some old and weak women and children who did not come outside the fortress, could they still screw the 200,000 troops of the Hebei battalion?
The generals below gossiped about the enemy and asked for battle, but they annoyed Tong Guan, slapped the table, and shouted: "Shut up for me!" He was clear about the thoughts of the generals of Hebei, but it was a great achievement for the first army in Zhenbei to be recruited, and these Hu people were familiar with the roads and water plants outside the Saiwai, and they should have relied on Pingyan, but they immediately made a mess and spread it to the court, the officials, and they were incompetent.
Tong Guan suppressed his anger, stretched out his hand and beckoned, and said to Xin Xingzong, the commander of the First Army in Zhenbei: "Xingzong, you are the most stable, go out and have a look, if the soldiers of the Fifth Army in Zhenbei are just complaining about General Kereh, then ask them to endure for a few days, and the commander will return them justice." Xin Xingzong was about to receive the order, but he was stopped again, and Tong Guan said in a deep voice: "Go to the treasury and take out 5,000 pieces of cloth and silk for appeasement." ”
