Chapter 40: Killing Decisions

Xiao couldn't help but scold her husband: "If the emperor really has three long and two short, won't you stand up by yourself, and when you become a big mound, it's not difficult to abolish the little emperor, what are you afraid of King Zhao?" ”

Zheng Yi was shocked: "You're crazy, don't you still want to be a queen?" ”

Xiao Shi asked rhetorically: "You think I don't dare to be?" ”

Zheng Yi ignored his wife, who looked a little crazy, drank all the wine in the cup, put a round slice of meat on the plate into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and couldn't help complaining: "Why do you always use a deer whip to make me snacks?" ”

"If you can be Otsuka Zai, be the emperor, the tiger whip can also be, the dragon liver and phoenix marrow can also be used, and you can drink as you like."

Zheng Yi squinted at his wife: "Do you know how long Emperor Xiaomin's empress has been and where she was later?" ”

"Of course I know, she was a queen for nine months, and then she has been a nun in the nunnery."

"Then do you know how long Dugu Brahma has been the queen."

Xiao Shi said: "I know what you want to say, although she died after being the queen for two months, she is not a loss, I am willing to be the queen even if I am the queen for two months." ”

"You don't want to die, but I want to die, when Emperor Tianyuan is here, everyone is afraid of me, I am not Otsuka Zai, Otsuka Zai's rights are not comparable to me, if Emperor Tianyuan is not there, I will be regarded as Otsuka Zai, and I can't stand it for a few days, if I want to be an emperor, I am afraid that I will die in a day."

The husband said that if it was scary, he finally dispelled Xiao's thoughts: "Then what should I do, why don't you go and talk to the emperor now and drive King Zhao away?" ”

"What about driving away King Zhao, if Emperor Tianyuan is not here, he will come back."

Xiao Shi was scared: "Is there no chance of life?" ”

Zheng Yi frowned and thought for a long time before sighing: "Only one person may be able to save my life, if I push him to govern with all my might, even if the emperor is really gone, I can stabilize the situation and keep my wealth." ”

When Zheng Yi visited, Yang Jian was also discussing with Dugu about King Zhao's entry into Beijing, and both husband and wife saw that King Zhao's entry into Beijing this time was not good, and the good ones did not come. ”

After Sha Bo slightly crossed the Yellow River, he got the news from Chang'an, the Zhou army that attacked Luo Hou (note that it was written as Luo Qian in the front, now corrected) was only 2,000 people, and almost didn't kill Sha Bo slightly, and he had the intention of killing his younger brother, if it wasn't for Luo Hou sending someone to report that the Zhou army had tens of thousands of people, he didn't have to retreat, and directly sent troops to exterminate this Pule County and reinforcements together, and how much could he exchange it for the reputation of the Turks.

It's just that Luo Hou also knows that he will definitely not let himself go after letting Sha Boluo discover the truth, he went back with 2,000 remnants of soldiers before, even if Sha Boluo has a little fire, he can't send it out, however, what makes Sha Boluo relieved is that the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty has not repented of the previous treaty, although he has lost a lot of people this time, but with the tribute of the Great Zhou, plus the looted materials, women, can also be explained when they go back.

In this Turkic invasion, more than ten cities in the Great Zhou Dynasty were destroyed, and some cities were extorted from property, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians were killed and wounded, and countless villages were destroyed.

Yang Tian is also angry, but he is far away from the border for this kind of thing, and he can't intervene at all, even if he can, he is helpless, this victory is just to defeat the further ambitions of the Turks, if you want to completely defeat the Turks, at least it is impossible before the change of emperor, so it is not surprising that this kind of undefeated and defeated thing is not surprising.

Yang Tian could only try to do some appeasement work, as for the rewards given to him by the court, as well as the title of county duke, Yang Tian didn't care at all.

After the Turks retreated, some of the survivors began to return to their homes, Yang Tian asked the court to transfer a large number of materials to help the people who suffered from the military disaster, and to transfer the state soldiers and government soldiers behind to enrich the front border and prevent the Turks from crossing the Yellow River again to attack.

Although Pule County is a bit miserable, but compared to those cities captured by the Turks, it is undoubtedly several times better, Wuyuan County, which is dozens of miles away from Pule County, has more than 30,000 original residents, and after being broken by the Turks, there are only 10,000 people left, and Honghua County has more than 40,000 soldiers and civilians, and after the Turks broke through, only more than 5,000 people escaped.

Although these people escaped their lives, but their crops were eaten by the Turkic horses, and the livestock were stolen by the Turks, and they became destitute, and if they were not relieved, they would either starve to death or become bandits, and most of the officials appointed by the court before were killed by the Turks, and it would take at least a few months for the court to send officials again, and Yang Tian could only send a few soldiers in each town to temporarily exercise the power on behalf of the government.

However, in this way, there is an unexpected benefit to Yang Tian, the pro-soldiers who have been cultivated by his side for several years not only have the opportunity to get training in civil affairs, but also the relief is now in charge of these pro-soldiers sent by Yang Tian, and in the future, the officials sent by the court will only believe in the pro-soldiers sent by Yang Tian, and Yang Tian is equivalent to catching these more than ten cities into his own hands.

Pule County has Da Xi Changru to deal with, Yang Tian can not care, temporarily put the headquarters of the Xuanlong Army in Wuyuan County, Wuyuan County was broken by the Turks, but the city wall was not as damaged as Pule County, the Turks looted and left, although the current residents are much less than before, but compared to other places, there are still some popularity.

This is basically the center of the town that was plundered by the Turks, and the Xuanlong Army was stationed here, which was convenient for Yang Tian to transfer materials, and it was also convenient for Yang Tian to go to various towns to check.

On this day, Yang Tian took more than ten horses from the street to slowly drive out of the city, seeing these more than ten horses, the people of Wuyuan County took the initiative to get out of the way, and looked at Yang Tian and the others with respectful eyes, until they were far away.

For all the cities that were attacked by the Turks, Yang Tian was now their living immortal, not only drove away the Turks, but also gave them all kinds of living utensils, so that they would not starve to death, and regained their confidence in life.

Yang Tian was generous to the court anyway, and he transported five thousand war horses to the court, and it was also appropriate to ask for more materials, not to mention that he was also in charge of the front line, and he could draw materials from the counties in the rear at any time.

Out of the city, Yang Tian lightly touched Chiying's body, Chiying snorted lightly, and his four hooves suddenly accelerated, leaving more than a dozen pro-soldiers behind, Zheng Xiong and others hurriedly shouted that their mounts also increased their speed and chased after them.

Everyone galloped for half an hour, stopped in front of a big lake, the scenery here is beautiful, it is really a good place to relax, Yang Tian has been running around various towns these days, he is so busy that his head is dizzy, and today he deliberately found a place to come out and relax.

Jumping off the horse, Yang Tian took out the fish rod that had been prepared from his horse, sat on the grass, hung the fresh bait, and threw the hook into the water. Although the Turks retreated, it was difficult to guarantee that there would be no horse thieves, bandits, etc. that would endanger Yang Tian's safety, and the soldiers did not dare to be careless.

There are few people here, the fish in the water have not yet tasted the cunning of people, and soon there are fish bites, Yang Tian mentioned it easily, and a big carp weighing several catties suddenly jumped alive on the grass.

Zheng Xiong hurriedly ran over, held down the carp with both hands, and said with a smile: "What a fat fish." ”

In such a short period of time, a big fish was hooked, and Yang Tian was also very happy, and said with a smile: "The fish here are so fat, but the residents of Wuyuan County can come and fish." ”

Most of the more than 10,000 residents of Wuyuan County need to rely on the rear to transport grain for relief, and if a large number of fresh fish can be caught, the pressure on the rear will be reduced a lot.

This lake is endless, the water surface is at least ten miles wide, not to mention that there is also a big river, I am afraid that it is possible to catch millions of catties of fresh fish, Zheng Xiong hurriedly said: "I have written it down, and when I go back, I will tell Lu Mulin and let him organize the people of Wuyuan County to fish." ”

Lu Mulin is Yang Tian's personal soldier who is responsible for the order of the entire town in Wuyuan County, although he has shown extraordinary talent in political affairs at the beginning, Yang Tian is quite satisfied with him, and has let go of all the government affairs of Wuyuan County, intending to let him take over Wuyuan County.

While speaking, the fishing rod in Yang Tian's hand was tight, and there was a fish biting the hook, Yang Tian hurriedly lifted the rod, and with a snap, the fishing line was broken into two, and a big fish on the water exposed a back, and the tail slapped heavily, and suddenly there was a loud sound of water, and a whirlpool nest with a round table surged on the surface of the lake.

Zheng Xiong opened his mouth wide and sighed: "What a big fish." ”

If this fish is caught, it will weigh at least dozens of catties, Yang Tian suddenly showed a trace of annoyance, he knew that the fish was so big, he couldn't be in a hurry, he could only slowly slip the fish, and then lift it up when the fish's strength was exhausted.

Yang Tian threw down the broken fishing rod: "Forget it, don't fish." "Get up and walk along the shore of the lake.

Zheng Xiong followed Yang Tian closely, and waited a little further away from the others before whispering: "General, it seems that someone has been investigating Lu Mulin's identity recently. ”

Yang Tian's eyes widened: "Do you know who it is?" ”

Zheng Xiong's heart tightened, he had already guessed that these pro-soldiers recruited by Yang Tian later must have some special identity, but as the captain of Yang Tian's pro-soldiers, he could only bury this guess in his heart, and when he found out that someone was secretly investigating a few days ago, he suddenly felt that the situation was serious, because it involved the internal personnel of the Xuanlong Army, he found such an opportunity to tell Yang Tian.

The resumes of these pro-soldiers Yang Tian has already made Li Gang prepare, and they can also withstand inspection, but they will only be the case without noticing, if there are people who are interested in investigating more than a dozen people in a row, they will definitely have doubts, where do these people's martial arts and culture come from?

"General Hui, in addition to the county guards of Pule County, Wang Shu is also one of them, these days, Wang Shu has intentionally or unintentionally approached Lu Mulin, Yue Ren, and Li Rongzhi, it seems that he wants to get something out of their mouths."

Yang Tian's personal soldier training, daily life is separated from ordinary soldiers, so in addition to the personal soldiers themselves, the soldiers of the Xuanlong Army did not feel that there was anything special about the sudden extra fifty people, but now Yang Tian casually sent more than ten people to take over the government affairs of various cities, and everyone was humanistic and martial, of course, it showed the difference of these personal soldiers at once, which naturally attracted the attention of some people.

For Da Xi Changru's investigation, Yang Tian was not afraid, he saved him and all the soldiers and civilians in Pule County, his son was serving under him, and he was thousands of miles away from Chang'an, and the investigation was inconvenient, it was even more impossible to get information from the mouths of his own soldiers, even if he really found out something, Da Xi Changru would probably cover up the past, he would think that these people were Yang Jian's auxiliary candidates for his son, and it was not a big deal for the nobles to raise a hundred or ten people privately.

It's just that Wang Shu's investigation seems abnormal, the origin of the commander's own soldiers can be managed casually by one of his subordinates, at least it shows his hostility towards the boss, thinking of Wang Shu's usual things that are contrary to yang and yin, Yang Tian sneered: "Wang Shu." ”

"General, did you transfer Wang Shu out of the Xuanlong Army?"

Yang Tian shook his head and made a chopping motion with his hand, Zheng Xiong was slightly surprised: "Kill." ”

If it was before this expedition, even if Wang Shu offended Yang Tian, Yang Tian might still tolerate it, but this time he was surprised to kill or be killed, Yang Tian's heart had hardened, the so-called human life was like a mustard, and he was used to seeing the death of tens of millions of people, and Yang Tian didn't care about killing a person.

A few days later, Wang Shu met the scattered Turkic rout when he went out, and died heroically, Wang Shu was just not angry that Yang Tian asked for too little credit for him this time, and was dissatisfied with Yang Tian using his own personal soldiers as the temporary person in charge of each city, at first he also wanted to see Yang Tian's jokes, but he didn't expect these personal soldiers to be in good order, which aroused his curiosity, but he didn't expect to be killed.

Wang Shu's death caused a large search of the Turkic rout army in the cities on the front line, and indeed found a lot of Turkic routs, they were all people who lost contact with the large army when Pule County was defeated, some of the rout soldiers returned to the steppe, but there were also a small number of people hiding among the people, although the Turks were deep-eyed and high-nosed, and their appearance was very different from the Han people, but there were originally mixed people of various nationalities here, and it was not surprising that there were Turkic people mixed in.

Although the captured Turks did not admit to attacking Wang Shu, for them, it was too late to hide, how dare they take the initiative to cause trouble, but Wang Shu's death was still recorded on the Turks, only Zheng Xiong and several personal soldiers involved in this matter had a deep understanding of Yang Tian, and the general was so decisive.
