Chapter 144: All for My Emperor

On this day, Yang Pingcheng reduced nearly one-fifth of the population, almost every household wore filial piety, every household sang sadly, of course, some people were silent, because there were no people who even wore filial piety and sad songs.

After the end of the war, the people who used to defend the city on the city walls became executioners, who were responsible for arresting people from house to house, and then brought people to the court, drew steel knives, and cut off the heads of those people one by one, and in addition to blood, there were tears, tears of fear, and tears of liberation......

Ye Ping made such a decision, Arutai was not surprised at all, starting from Shandong, they have been partners for a while, this quiet, thin young man is not a soft-hearted person, but what really surprised Arutai is not Ye Ping's ruthlessness, but the indifference with which he gave orders, that kind of naturalness.

To this day, Arutai did not figure out what the inspector did, at the beginning, he instinctively thought that he was a Mongol, the emperor did not trust him, and sent a person to be the supervisor, for this, Arutai can understand, and can accept, but he later found out that all the troops have inspectors, and he couldn't help but be relieved, but relieved, but even more puzzled, what is the use of the inspectors?

But gradually, Arutai discovered the changes after Ye Ping came, this Ye Ping knew Mongolian, and soon mingled with the Mongolians below, these people like to talk to Ye Ping, and they like to find Ye Ping to help solve problems when they have difficulties, of course, Arutai doesn't care about these, because he doesn't look down on these ordinary Mongolian soldiers at all, but what makes him a little worried is that some senior officers seem to have signs of getting close to Ye Ping, which makes Arutai a little distressed, but there is no good way, so he can only try to fight with Ye Ping.

But what made Arutai feel relieved was that Ye Ping did not interfere with his command, and although he would quarrel, he would respect his opinion in the end; Of course, Ye Ping did not give an inch to matters such as strict military discipline, prisoner handling, seizure registration and distribution, salary distribution, etc., such as the handling of Yang Pingcheng today......

Arutai had a high opinion of Ye Ping's military talent, so he asked Ye Ping a question in private, why did he become an inspector? Instead of being a commander?

In this regard, Ye Ping only had one sentence: "All for my emperor!" ”

Later, Arutai learned that this is the school motto of martial arts!

......

"General, Qu Neng has already left Hanjing and is coming here, our time is running out!"

Looking at the other party's eagerness, Xu Bao, the commander of the first guard of the Guiyi Army, smiled: "Lord Chengzhi, it's time, it's time, it's time, the army is only thirty or forty miles a day, and it will take at least two days to get here from Hanjing, and didn't you say that you sent people to harass them?" ”

Chengzhi Wen Yanrong was stunned for a moment, and there were some drums in his heart, he sent people to harass Qu Neng, but how much of a role those people can play, only God knows, most of them are government soldiers who were sent home by the Ming army before, not to mention the poor weapons, and there are not a few horses, when encountering the cavalry of the Ming army, I am afraid that he will not be able to run if he wants to, but he knows that he can't show cowardice at this time, Wen Yanrong smiled, tried his best to show confidence, and said: "There are many Qu Neng's army, this official can only fight for one day at most, the general must not make a mistake!" ”

Xu Bao leaned back on the chair, holding a knife in his hand, he was sharpening his nails, after cutting his left hand, he changed the knife again, and continued to sharpen his right hand, Wen Yanrong stood up anxiously and came to Xu Bao: "General, there is really no time, why aren't you in a hurry?" ”

"Bang dang", Xu Bao threw the knife in his hand on the table, looked at Wen Yanrong for a while, looked out the window, and sighed slightly: "Lord Wen, I have made so many mistakes, will the king let me go?" ”

"Of course, didn't the official say that? Before the king sent the official, he said to the official himself, as long as you are anyway, all the charges will be pardoned and will never be investigated. ”

"Well, you said that, but," Xu Bao stood up, pressed his hands on the table, leaned slightly, and put his head close to Wen Yanrong, and said, "The general is still a little worried, can you let Lord Wen ask the king for a pardon?" ”

"That's no problem," Seeing that Xu Bao's tone was a little loose, Wen Yanrong was overjoyed: "It's just that the situation is urgent now, Wang Shangyuan is in Gyeongju, and it will take at least ten days to come and go, it's too late!" ”

"That's just right," Xu Bao thought for a while, nodded, sat back in his chair, held his head in his hands, and sighed incessantly, showing the anxiety, fear, and uneasiness in his heart!

Seeing this, Wen Yanrong got up and left his seat, walked to Xu Bao's side, and patted him lightly on the shoulder: "General Xu, as long as you are anyway, whether you stick to it or return to Chungju, Cheongju or Sangju, it is up to you." ”

"Of course, it would be best if you could return to Chungju and join forces with General Guo!"

"Guo Qihao?" Xu Bao was stunned for a moment, raised his head, and looked at Wen Yanrong: "He's anyway?" ”

"Yes, it was done more than ten days ago, and the king promised to appoint him as the deputy general of the Inner Guard!"

"What about me?" Hearing that Guo Qihao was appointed as the deputy general of the Internal Guard, Xu Bao was stunned, and said after a while: "Then if I am anyway, what position will it be?" ”

"All the same, Deputy General of the Praetorian Guard!"

"Okay, I'm done!" Xu Bao slapped the table heavily, stood up, and almost hit Wen Yanrong's nose, and the other party hurriedly retreated to avoid accidental injury.

......

"Ladies and gentlemen, this general would like to introduce to you, this is Lord Wen, the king's right lieutenant!"

"What?"

As soon as Xu Bao's voice fell, everyone suddenly changed color, and some people stood up and subconsciously wanted to draw the knife, only to find that the waist knife had been handed over; Others stood up and quickly retreated to the door, but were forced by the steel knives of the guards at the door and had to retreat; Others looked at Wen Yanrong eagerly with happy faces; Others were silent, but their eyes wandered, looking around, as if they were checking the faces of others, and as if they were looking for a way out.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that Huai Anjun has been killed by the Ming army, and the Ming Emperor has blatantly annexed North Korea, he wants to turn North Korea into his political envoy, in a vain attempt to enslave the Korean people, we are all Korean men, with knives and guns in our hands, can we agree?"

"No!"

"No!"

Several officers immediately stood up, raising their arms and shouting, but others sat still, their eyes revealing a hint of struggle.

"Very good, everyone is a hot-blooded man from North Korea, come, let Lord Chengzhi tell the adult about the situation!"

"Good! Good! ”

"Hehe," Wen Xianrong walked up the steps in the applause, he first raised his hand and pressed down, the applause stopped abruptly, Wen Xianrong first arched his hand in the northeast direction: "Generals, now the sinister intentions of the Ming Emperor have been revealed, he wants to annex North Korea and enslave our brothers and sisters, for this reason, he sent someone to kill Huai Anjun, but he blamed the king, in the face of this situation, the king decided to raise the banner of rebellion, break with the Ming Emperor, and at the same time send us to contact the generals, now," Wen Yanrong pointed to the north: "General Guo of Chungju, General Yong of Cheongju and General Qiu of Shangzhou have accepted the appointment of the king, and decided to raise troops against the Ming, and now the generals have also woken up and joined in the great cause of expelling the Ming army. Come, let's congratulate General Xu! ”

"The general is mighty!"

"The general is wise and powerful!"

......

Listening to the cheers of everyone, Xu Bao stood up and looked at the officers below: "Everyone, we are comrades-in-arms, and we depend on each other on the battlefield together, now, I have decided to oppose Ming, but I will definitely not force everyone, everyone has their own ambitions, not reluctantly, if anyone is unwilling to follow me, please stand on the left, if you are willing to follow me, please stand on the right!" ”

Hearing Xu Bao's words, everyone looked at each other, and finally commanded Duan Hui to stand up: "General, I have already betrayed once, I don't want to betray again, and my family is in Hanjing, I surrendered, they have only one way to die, so I hope the general will be successful!" ”

As he spoke, Duan Hui stood up, walked to the left, and stood against the wall.

Someone took the lead, someone followed, and after a while, two thousand households, more than ten hundred households all got up and walked to Duan Hui's side, but what was surprising was that there were more than a dozen people standing in the middle and did not move their steps.

"Oh?" Xu Bao looked at these people in the middle, and suddenly smiled: "You don't go to the left, you don't go to the right, what are you going to do?" ”

"This," Qianhu Yongpeng Fei stood up and arched his hand: "General, my subordinates haven't thought about it yet!" ”

"Hehe," Xu Bao smiled softly: "It seems that I have to change places for you, think about it!" Come! ”

With Xu Bao's order, the door of the conference room was slammed open, and a group of guards rushed in and surrounded everyone.

Xu Bao pointed to these people standing on the left and standing still, and said softly: "I have to ask you to be wronged, but don't worry, when we finish discussing, we will give everyone freedom." ”

Forced by the steel knife, no one dared to resist, so he was quickly tied up.

Looking at Duan Hui who was tied to the front, Xu Bao arched his hand towards him: "I'm sorry, Brother Duan!" As he spoke, Xu Bao's tone suddenly became stern: "Drag these people out and behead!" ”

When Duan Hui heard this, his face changed, and he wanted to say something, but in the end he just closed his eyes and sighed slightly, while the others were not so good-tempered, and they scolded Xu Bao for his treachery, and some people cried bitterly and wanted to participate in the anti-Ming, but it was a pity that Xu Bao did not give them this opportunity, and watched the person being escorted out with a sinking face.

Listening to the screams and cursing outside, Xu Bao frowned, turned around and said: "Wen Chengzhi, things are a little troublesome, there are a lot of people killed today, I didn't expect there to be so many people, I don't want to be Ming!" ”

"Leave them alone, the general quickly send someone to control the army, don't make a mutiny!"

"Well, General Ben understands," Xu Bao nodded as he spoke, and then suddenly shouted: "Someone!" ”

The door to the conference room was opened, and the guards rushed in again.

Xu Bao pointed to the remaining officers and said, "Take them down and correct the law on the spot!" ”

"What? You,"

Before Wen Yanrong could finish speaking, he was pressed on his neck by a steel knife: "Lord Wen, isn't it good to be loyal to Daming?" Why should you be loyal to Li Fangyuan? ”

Watching the officers in the room being beheaded one by one, listening to their cursing and begging for mercy, Wen Yanrong's face turned pale: "Xu Bao, what do you want to do?"

......

So when Zhang Lun entered Shuizhou the next day, he was greeted by Xu Bao who was kneeling on the ground and more than a dozen well-salted heads, Zhang Lun bowed his head on the horse and said: "General Xu, which play are you playing?" ”

"General Zhang, these are all the heads of collaborators, and the last general will wipe them out."

"Well, very good, General Xu, no wonder Commander-in-Chief Sheng always praises you, saying that you are trustworthy, when I saw you today, it was so!"

"General Hui, everything is for my emperor!"
