Chapter 468: Execution of the Commander of Xijing (Chasing the Floating Clouds for the Sunset)
PS: Thank you for the sunset chasing the floating clouds for rewarding 500 coins and 100 coins, asking for tickets!
Datong is known as Xijing and belongs to one of the five capitals, but it is much more desolate than Yanjing, the capital of Nanjing Province.
It is more like a military city, with 50,000 standing troops stationed, which oppressed the Song Dynasty on the one hand, and supervised the party on the other.
Xijing is located in a remote area, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and the actual controller is the direct son of the royal family, Yelu Jin.
Yelu was infinitely powerful, greedy for flowers, lustful, and murderous, and regarded the people of the Song Dynasty and the party as an inferior nation, and had to go to the border every month to fight grass valleys. When he abducted civilians, he would slaughter villages and exterminate villages if he did not obey, and the methods were cruel, and the border people heard his name as if they saw Yama.
The perennial thirst for murder and indulgence caused his personality to be irritable and his thoughts were extreme, and he loved to ignore Xiao Gan when he saw him. When I heard that I was going to Dongkuo to ask Lin Chong for help, I was even more disdainful.
"The unified army went south this time, but it set a precedent for the Great Khitan to ask for help from the Southern Dynasty, and the marshal still has important business tomorrow, so I will not accompany him."
"Don't dare to disturb the deputy marshal, I will be bothered by the Xijing Left-behind Mansion to send three thousand elites to accompany me."
This kind of role of a pit father guards Xijing, and the life of the people in the areas under its jurisdiction can be imagined. In view of the bad reputation of this product, Xiao Gan naturally did not have a good color, so he made a straightforward request.
Yelu complained in his heart, so he annoyed you fake foreign devils who can speak Chinese. What kind of big stone forest tooth was blown out of the sky last month, what was the result? He took an army of 100,000 with him, but he didn't flee back in disgrace.
If I had relied on me, I would have cut off my head with a click, saving a waste of food. Lazily said, "Bring the warrant." ”
Xiao Gan handed over the Privy Council transfer document that Xiao Feng had stamped first.
Jerod glanced at him, did not speak, and continued to drink wine and eat meat.
A quarter of an hour later, Jerry still ignored Xiao Gan.
Xiao Gan took two steps forward towards Yelu Jin, but was stopped by the other party's personal guards, Xiao Gan snorted coldly, and asked through the personal guards, "Deputy marshal, the warrant for the transfer of troops has been given to you, why didn't you send troops for a long time?" ”
"What's that? Dare to yell in front of someone? Believe it or not, killing you is like killing a chicken! Yelu slapped the table, pointed at Xiao Gan and scolded, and pouted disdainfully after scolding, "Except for His Majesty's warrant, I don't recognize anything!" ”
Xiao Gan's face was cold, "The Privy Council has the power to mobilize soldiers and horses in the world, and you refuse to obey the order, do you want to rebel?" ”
"Get out of the way and let him come!" Yelu Jin heard the change in Xiao Gan's tone, faintly threatening, and laughed wildly, "So what? If you're alone, what can you do to me? ”
The guards were forced to get out of the way at Jerujin's orders. Xiao Gan took two steps forward again and stood in front of Yelu Jin, staring at him without saying a word.
"This is my handsome mansion, not to mention three hundred guards, it is the two commanders in front of me, just pick one of them and kill you like a chicken without a knife or gun. Go back to Nanjing Road and tell Xiao Fengxian and Ye Luchun that labor and management are very good, don't stretch your hands too long! ”
Xiao Gan nodded and changed his face, picked up the wine jug on the table, and said with a smile, "What Your Highness said is that the last general will pour you wine to make amends." As he spoke, he poured a glass of wine for Yelu respectfully.
Yelu touched the wide head, picked up the wine cup in one hand, and said with a smile, "Count you as acquaintances!" After saying that, he raised his head and drank.
"Huh!" A cold light flashed from Xiao Gan's sleeve and sank into Yelujin's throat.
"Ahem! Poof~" In an instant, Yelujin's wine and blood spurted out in unison.
His eyes were full of disbelief, how dare Xiao Gan attack himself in his own mansion, he was the ruler of one of the five capitals, and he was a feudal official who could be counted by the Khitan. Xiao Gan is just a small commander, where did he get the guts?
It's a pity that his throat was cut by Xiao Gan's sharp blade, and he couldn't breathe, and his blood didn't stop. Even though he covered the wound tightly with both hands, blood still overflowed from his mouth, nostrils, and ears, and he couldn't live.
Yelu Jin died, leaving no words, and his most relied on guards saw that he had been executed by Xiao Gan, and immediately submitted to Xiao Gan.
They can't be blamed for being disloyal, it's just that Yelujin's fiery personality and perverted psychology also hurt the people around him, and these people can't wait to get rid of this demon as soon as possible.
Now that Xiao Gan has done what they want to do but can't, and with the sword of Shang Fang in the Privy Council, these subordinates are naturally happy to sit back and watch it.
But four or five of Jerujin's house slaves collected his body, wrapped him tightly in oxhides, threw him on horseback, and galloped silently to the holy land of the Huangshui Tu River, and these house slaves would guard Jerujin's tomb for the rest of their lives.
Deputy Marshal Yeluba suddenly heard the news and rushed over, and when he saw Xiao Gan covered in blood, he couldn't help but feel a chill, he had never seen anyone who dared to behead the commander of the army at the Shuaifu, this method and mind were masterful.
The Liaoguo Shuangbi is worthy of its name!
"Lord Tongjun, you are ordered to be in danger, and you will prepare the manpower and materials you need before you leave tomorrow morning."
"Xijing Stay-behind Mansion, you temporarily take the position of commander, and when I return to Yanjing, I will arrange the official documents for you." After saying that, he turned around and left.
Jerobal bowed his head and bowed, leading the guards to shout in unison, "Congratulations to the commander!" ”
Three thousand elite horsemen followed the guide all the way to the south, running through the territory of the Zhejia family, but they still did not dare to open the city to meet the battle, and let Xiao Gan drive from north to south to the east outline.
Ori Hiko gathered at the gate of the city with a team of five hundred muskets, and was personally intercepted by the captain of the guard.
Zhi Yan, who returned to the Shuai Mansion, was furious, "Uncle, why don't you open the city gate, the people outside the city are in dire straits!" Isn't it true that our soldiers have been training for hundreds of days to protect their families and defend the country? ”
Fold Keqiu's face sank, "Sit, watch the tea!" ”
Orihiko wrung his head angrily.
Zhe Keqiu snorted, "What?" Didn't my uncle's words work? I wanted to know why, so I sat down and drank my tea! ”
Orihiko sat down, picked up the tea bowl and drank it, the freshly brewed tea was very hot, and it squirted out first before drinking it.
"Give the young master another quality, make a bowl of tea!" Fold can ask for quiet commands.
No matter how stupid Zhi Yan was, he knew that this was his uncle's intention, so he could only patiently pick up the tea bowl and gently blow the tea soup. After it cools, I taste it one bite at a time, and finally drink it after a while.
"I was impetuous just now, so I didn't let you go out, have you calmed down now?"
Zhi Yanzhi was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "Could it be that Uncle Fei thinks that our musket team is not enough to deal with the Khitans?" ”
"If you don't go anywhere, you won't be far away" and you can ask for a high hope for Zheyan, "The Khitans dared to go deep alone with three thousand light cavalry, obviously not to attack the grass valley or attack the state capital, according to the direction of their march, they should be heading towards Dongkuo." ”
Zhe Yanzhi has to admire the judgment of Zhe Keqiu, that's right, not burning, killing and looting, unlike the original Khitan army, he is in a hurry, and he is clearly an important task. Only 3,000 dare to cross the state and cross the government, and there must be something to rely on, and the possibility of going to Dongkuo is nine or eight times out of ten.
However, the Zhejia Army has a great reputation, and it is really shameless that they dare not go out of the city to intercept and inquire.
"Face? Can you fill your stomach? You must know that the 500-man musket team, Lao Tzu spent 2 million yuan in military spending! One less is distressed to death, don't let me be defeated! ”
