Chapter 185: Kill or Stay
In order not to delay the normal layout of Yunzhou, Luo Yan was ready to hit the road immediately. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info But for the sake of Li Xuandao's depressed face, Luo Yan still relented. After thinking about it, he said to Li Xuandao: "A moment later, I will wait for Li Changshi in front of the Governor's Mansion. ”
This means that Li Xuandao has a moment of preparation time, and Luo Yan can let him go to Yunzhou with him. Speaking of which, Li Xuandao has any unhappiness in his heart, and he can only let it go for the time being. Nodding at Luo Yan, Li Xuandao didn't say anything, turned around and walked out of the door.
As for Luo Yan, he was waiting for Ah Quan to come and deliver him what he had prepared a long time ago.
In fact, there is nothing to prepare for when going to Yunzhou. The reason why Ah Quan sent that armor over was also to prevent Wang Junkuo from jumping off the wall in a hurry at that time. Luo Yan thought to himself that there were many people around him, and even if he used a bow and arrow, he could consume Wang Junkuo to death. But this thing is just in case. Although it was only a round-up, it was inevitable that something would come by. If you accidentally win the lottery, then you won't die unjustly.
It's better to be careful in everything.
When Ah Quan brought the package to Luo Yan, Luo Yan changed out of his official uniform, put on a scholar's outfit, and carried a large package, looking like a scholar who was about to travel. For this low-key outfit, Luo Yan is also very satisfied. When I arrived at the gate of the Assassin's Mansion, there were already dozens of horsemen waiting there. But what is quite extravagant is that everyone is riding a horse, and there is a horse behind them.
This trick was also learned from the Turks. When running long distances, the two horses can be ridden in turn, so as to maximize the speed of the run. Youzhou has been doing this for so many years, and there are major things to do. After all, there are still too few war horses.
It was only two days to arrive in Yunzhou, and this was because Luo Yan and the others rested at night.
After a few months, when he came to the Zhichong Mansion in Yunzhou again, Luo Yan also sighed with emotion. The world is impermanent, when he and Cui Dunli came to Yunzhou **** under the leadership of Wang Junkuo. Now that he is here again, he is going to hunt down Wang Junkuo. However, to Luo Yan's surprise, when he arrived at Zhichong Mansion, he found that he didn't even see a head. After asking, I found out that they all went to the mountains to ambush.
During the time when Luo Yan and the others were on their way, several teams separated by Wang Junkuo arrived at the valley one after another. Even the king arrived in the valley early that morning. It is precisely because of this that the top and bottom of the Zhichong Mansion, as long as they have some ability, are basically transferred to the vicinity of the valley. Keep an eye on it, and by the way, see if there are any more people coming here.
When Luo Yan found the place, it was already Shen Shi. Seeing Luo Yan and Li Xuandao coming over, the generals of the Zhichong Mansion and the assassin of the Yunzhou Mansion came over together, and said with a smile: "There are only two of them." Wang Junkuo came here early in the morning with his family, and he was with those soldiers. It has been confirmed that it is Wang Junkuo himself. These people were also afraid that Wang Junkuo would slip away alone, but they didn't expect him to really come here.
Having worked under Wang Junkuo for several years, these generals are also familiar with the details of Wang Junkuo's demeanor. After observing for a morning, Wang Junkuo was there to make a big difference, and these people all observed. I couldn't see my face clearly from a distance, so I had to come like this. In the end, a conclusion was drawn that Wang Junkuo was undoubted.
Now that it has been decided, Luo Yan has nothing to say, and puts on the armor he brought. Then he said to the general: "It is not early, if it is night, I am afraid that these people will take advantage of the night to move to other places." Looking at the terrain of the valley, there are many ways to escape from the outside, although he knew in his heart that these generals had already made arrangements, Luo Yan couldn't help but say more: "If you can, directly use your bow and arrow to shoot a few rounds of salvos inside." If it really doesn't work, it is also advisable to attack with fire. ”
Originally, they planned to capture Wang Junkuo alive, and these generals arranged a manpower of 2,000 people. Surrounded by the valley, it is impossible to let the people in the valley go. But as soon as Luo Yan said this, the faces of these generals became a little ugly. This means that Wang Jun is not allowed to live.
Seeing through what these people were thinking, Luo Yan angrily reprimanded: "If I don't wait to kill, will I keep it for Your Majesty to make it difficult?" ”
Where does this group of generals understand the trick of this? I just thought that it was like fighting a war with the Turks, capturing a big official alive was more meritorious than cutting off his head. Only Li Xuandao and Na Yunzhou Thorn Shi knew a little about it, and after hearing what Luo Yan had already said so clearly, where would they oppose it.
Luo Yan's anger also frightened those generals. The emperor himself kills people, that is definitely not possible. In that case, you have to do it yourself.
Looking at the distant backs of the generals, Luo Yan sighed in a low voice.
Wang Junkuo's defection has become a fact, and since this is the case, what the court should do now is to deprive Wang Junkuo of his title and food. Instead of bringing a living Wang Junkuo to Chang'an and letting Li Shimin kill him in various entanglements. Then play with some people. If that's really the case, although Luo Yan and these people have made meritorious contributions, they will attract Li Shimin's hatred even more.
And, most importantly, one thing. In case, Wang Junkuo is involved indiscriminately for the sake of some people's guarantees. At that time, Chang'an will have a major earthquake. This kind of thing, even Luo Yan himself may have a catastrophe. In order to save his life, how can he still let Wang Junkuo live.
These generals followed Luo Yan's advice, and after surrounding the valley tightly, they directly sent archers to shoot arrows into the hundreds of people in the valley in turn.
Defenseless for a while, coupled with the hundreds of archers who shot arrows with all their might, the first volley left dozens of corpses lying in the valley. The crowd was so dense that even a bow and arrow that could not be aimed accurately caused such a great damage. The rest of the people didn't expect such a situation, and for a while there was something around them to cover, they ran to hide when the arrows had not yet shot.
But that's all there is to it, although there are not many archers and arrows brought this time. But after each person shot a pot of arrows, there were no more than a hundred people alive in the valley. Of course, Wang Junkuo must be among these people who are still alive.
With so much damage done, it's time to go into the valley and get people. Luo Yan also said to Li Xuandao beside him at this time: "Is Changshi interested, go down with me to see the situation in the valley." ”
Hearing Luo Yan say this, Li Xuandao was embarrassed to refuse, seeing that Luo Yan had already gone down, and then followed.
By the time Luo Yan arrived in the valley, Wang Junkuo and his subordinates were already surrounded. Because of the dodging of arrows and the desperate protection of his subordinates, Wang Junkuo looked a little embarrassed. His body was covered in dust, and there were several blood stains on his chest. His hair was disheveled, and he didn't have the arbitrariness he had in the Governor's Mansion.
Although the identities of Luo Yan and Wang Junkuo are very different now, Luo Yan is not happy when he sees Wang Junkuo at this moment. I just feel that a hero like him is really a bit bleak to end up like this.
"Governor, let's meet again." There is no grudge, no kindness, at this time, it is like an old acquaintance, and it is very simple to say hello.
"I didn't expect you to come too." Seeing that Luo Yan was wearing silver armor, and Li Xuandao was standing behind Luo Yan, Wang Junkuo knew a little in his heart. "I didn't think you and I would end up meeting like this. It seems that I am also retribution, I did to you like that day, but now it is you who take me. For Luo Yan, Wang Junkuo had nothing to hate, so he just said a little lonely.
However, when he raised his head and saw that Li Xuandao was still smiling as he was that day, Wang Junkuo could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. Pointing at Li Xuandao and scolding: "Li Xuandao, you dog thief, if it weren't for your letter to denounce me, how could I have ended up like this." ”
After listening to Wang Junkuo's angry scolding, Li Xuandao actually came out with a sentence: "Wang Dudu is too worried, in fact, it is just a family letter." It was just a letter in the room that I asked to take care of my family for me. There's nothing to report you, it's just that you don't recognize it. ”
After hearing this, Wang Junkuo, a man, actually burst into tears. shouted hoarsely: "The sky is going to kill my king, and there is nothing to do." ”
Luo Yan rolled his eyes when he heard this, as if he was amazing. If you really want to describe him, Luo Yan only has two sentences, the first sentence is that he will kill himself if he commits many injustices, and the second sentence is that it is terrible to have no culture. What else is there to say besides these two points.
"Wang Dudu, the matter has come to this, you should go on the road here. I think you have been in the world for more than ten years, if you go to Chang'an, you will be insulted by the jailer. Under Miki, where can you still have a little majesty. Although it is under the knife of his own people, he has your henchmen to accompany you. Luo Yan still persuaded him. If Wang Junkuo didn't resist, Luo Yan really didn't want people to kill him.
After listening to Luo Yan's words, Wang Junkuo also thought about it.
If you want to live with this kind of sin, it must be impossible. And the request for death is actually the same everywhere. There are also stories circulating among their generals, although they only heard about it, but they still know some of the things in the prison. In ancient times, many generals were unbearable to all kinds of insults in that prison, or biting their tongues or going on a hunger strike. It's nothing more than trying to die early.
Like Peng Yue and Zhou Bo, who is not as good as him in leading troops to fight, he is not like his grandson in prison.
Thinking about it, Wang Junkuo himself thinks that it is better to die early. knelt down in the direction of Chang'an and kowtowed a few times. Standing up, Wang Junkuo said: "My current fate is completely self-inflicted. I also ask Luo Sima to tell Your Majesty that my Wang Junkuo has failed his kindness, and even if he dies ten times, it will not be enough to make up for my crimes. It's just that I have done something to keep my brothers alive. It is better to be a cow and a horse, a slave and a maid, than to be dragged down by me and die in vain. ”
After thinking about it, he felt that he couldn't do this matter by himself, so Luo Yan could only reply: "I will tell Your Majesty, but I dare not guarantee the result." ”
With this, Wang Junkuo was also very satisfied, nodded, didn't say anything, pulled out the knife on his waist, and stabbed it into the lower abdomen. (To be continued.) )
