Chapter 120
The distance is constantly getting closer, and this group of routs never expected that someone would ambush them here.
The two people in front of them were talking and laughing, and the bearded man who was the eldest brother said: "I'm about to enter Yuyang County, and I have heard a lot of businessmen talking about the prosperity of this place in recent years." ”
"Yes, this time we were defeated by the Xihao Kingdom and escaped by luck. Although it is rich here, it is now in chaos everywhere, and there are not many troops to come here, and there will be no reinforcements. The middle-aged man who walked side by side with the big man smiled, and his heart was full of indifference.
The bearded man reproached: "Second brother, don't take it lightly, although the news we have found out is so, but Yuyang County is not without garrisons, to say the least there are thousands of people. ”
"Cut, big brother, you think too highly of them, the fledglings who have never been on the battlefield can scatter them in one round of killing."
"You, this time we escaped death, it's better to pay more attention, so as not to capsize in the gutter."
After all, it is a rout, although it is stronger than some soldiers, but now it has been running all the way, and there is a lot of fatigue on his face. Especially the soldiers who ran and walked in the back, almost trembling their legs.
Liu Wei and his party held their breath, waiting for them to enter the best ambush circle, and everyone held the bows and arrows in their hands tightly and waited for Liu Wei's order.
"Put." Liu Wei took the lead with an arrow, followed by everyone's volley, round after round, and the two-sided attacks made them unable to find cover at all.
There are some athletic people who can escape by themselves and horses. But it was only a catastrophe, hundreds of arrows came together, and there was not much room to dodge at all.
Many people were ready to flee on horseback, but because they had already arranged tripping ropes and traps, the rolling logs behind them were blocked, and those who wanted to escape were all stopped by tripping and finally covered by a rain of arrows.
Seeing the people below staggering, with countless casualties, Liu Wei wanted to pull out the sword in his hand and launch the order to charge.
Liu Yi frowned and said lightly: "Lieutenant Liu, my family said that all the arrows in his hand should be shot out, and then he can launch a charge, and then he can clean up the mess, so as not to waste the lives of the soldiers." ”
"Huh?" Liu Wei was displeased, and he didn't like others to point fingers at the supreme commander. But for Liu Feiyun, he was convinced, hesitated for a moment, and the sword was never unsheathed, and the rain of arrows continued.
In a few minutes, each person sent at least ten arrows, and nearly thousands of arrows were covered, and what could still be alive was not luck, that is, superior strength.
Apparently there was nothing left in this rout, and there were hardly any people standing in the field. The worst thing is that the two who took the lead were taken care of, and the middle-aged man was hit by several arrows, one of which pierced his throat and died on the spot. The bearded man was lucky, he was hit by many arrows to avoid the vital point, but he also left a lot of blood, and he fell to the ground and struggled weakly, if he did not get timely treatment, he would definitely die.
Finally, Liu Wei pulled out the sword he had wanted to draw for a long time, and shouted, "Kill me." ”
When they killed in front of this group of people, the picture was terrible, and they were all wailing, all of them were dying and struggling.
There are many people who are slightly injured, struggling to step on a horse and still trying to struggle, although the condition of horses is similar to that of humans, but their resilience is significantly stronger than that of humans, and they neighed for a while to escape.
It's a pity that they have all followed in the footsteps, since they are going to be ambushed, Liu Feiyun must be fully prepared.
For these people who can still struggle to stand up, Liu Wei shouted: "Put down your weapons and sneak attack, don't do useless struggles, otherwise there will be no forgiveness." ”
"Lay down your arms." The surrounding soldiers shouted.
Some people lost the courage to resist and directly threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground, hoping that these people could let them go and treat them. Of course, there were also people who resisted, Liu Wei did not have a trace of mercy, and with a wave of his hand, he swarmed them up and directly cut them beyond recognition.
Liu Wei sneered: "Courage is commendable!" ”
In fact, in Liu Wei's heart, these people have already been sentenced to death, and they are all injured, how can he and others bother to take care of them.
After the rebels were killed, he couldn't accept it when he saw that several of his men were injured, this group of people had almost no ability to resist, and you were still beating in groups.
But he noticed that Liu Yi on the side was unwilling to reprimand his subordinates in front of outsiders, which was slapping himself in the face.
He said to the captives in front of him, "Who are you leading?" ”
They all turned their eyes in one direction, and there were the two generals who had led them here, but unfortunately one was already dead and could not die anymore, and the other was dying, and his eyes were still beginning to wander.
Liu Wei and Liu Yi naturally noticed it and didn't care.
Liu Wei said: "Where are you from and why are you here?" ”
Looking at the soldiers surrounding them with fierce gods, they panicked in their hearts, not knowing if they could live. One of the prisoners who was relatively lightly injured said: "My lord, we are the army of the Purple Cloud Country, we were scattered before, our commander fled with us, and we will die if we go back, so come here to see if we can have a way to live." ”
"Purple Cloud Country?" Liu Wei was puzzled: "Didn't the Ziyun Kingdom be destroyed by our Xihao Kingdom in the first place?" ”
The soldier didn't understand the curved corners, and he said, "It was the Purple Cloud Kingdom established by His Majesty Lin Dong. ”
Seeing that Liu Wei was still a little puzzled, Liu Yi on the side was too long, and he still needed to go back to guard Liu Feiyun, explaining: "Lin Dong was a prince of Ziyun Country at the beginning. Okay, settle it sooner, we have to go back as soon as possible. ”
Liu Wei didn't listen, and continued to interrogate, the more things he could get, the greater the credit.
Seeing this, Liu Yi didn't say anything, and didn't linger any longer, so Gu Zi left. There will be no more accidents here, whatever they do, they don't belong to them.
Liu Yi didn't know what was going on, he came back to report the situation to Liu Feiyun, and he didn't hide some of the contradictions.
Liu Feiyun raised his eyebrows, smiled and shook his head: "Forget it, leave them alone, help only once, they don't know how to cherish it, it has nothing to do with us." ”
Liu Wei came back not long after, and he came to Liu Feiyun's side to report as soon as possible. Liu Feiyun encouraged: "Yes, you can write the relevant aspects clearly, and you should have a lot of credit for submitting them to the Ministry of Officials at that time." ”
"It's all a blessing to you." Liu Wei also smiled, if Liu Feiyun hadn't informed him in advance this time, maybe he would have been punished.
"I'm just saying that the security side is still up to you."
The two talked for a while Liu Wei left, and when he left, he glanced at Liu Yi, and he didn't know what he meant, but Liu Yi didn't like him at all.
What happened in Yuyang County soon appeared in the court, and there was no leaky wind in the world, and soon it became known to the court. The extermination of a thousand people was no small feat, especially since there was no battle damage.
Zhu Hongtian's serious face rarely showed a smile: "This Liu Feiyun has a talent, and he didn't spend a single soldier to eliminate a thousand-person brigade." However, the border is in chaos, and the lieutenant of Yuyang County asks for more troops, what do you think? ”
General Chen Bingshu couldn't speak when he was fighting outside, but Prime Minister Qin Bin had always admired Liu Feiyun and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, you have such a good talent!" Yuyang County belongs to the territory of our country and naturally needs to be protected. ”
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
In recent years, Yuyang County can be described as incomparable, although there is not much news, but the achievements are continuous, and they are not small. Some people are ready to have their own family gilded. In the midst of war, this time I asked for help, and I just sent someone to come.
"Well, that's it." Zhu Hongtian made a nasal voice, this matter was brought in one stroke, and there was no discussion of any rewards, and now the situation at home and abroad made him feel bad, he said: "Ladies and gentlemen, although the foreign war has been hindered, I believe that the soldiers will not disappoint me, and the grain and grass need to keep up, and there must be no mistakes." If the Yuyang County incident frees up troops, there is no need for the new Ziyun Kingdom to exist. ”
Zhu Hongtian's tone suddenly became heavy: "However, the passing year is not good, the drought and flood level this year is somewhat serious, refugees from all over the country are wandering, if it cannot be solved well, it will bury the current good situation, what do you think?" ”
"Your Majesty, I think it is necessary to strengthen disaster relief efforts and let local officials limit the flow of refugees, so as to avoid being used by people with intentions to the greatest extent." A minister made an observation.
One of the ministers added: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the official family alone is not enough to resolve this difficult situation in the shortest possible time, and it is necessary to mobilize the merchants and scholars from all over the country to unite as one in order to gather greater strength. ”
The minister's words made the eyes of many people present flicker, don't underestimate the degree, no matter how you talk about entering the official career. Although Xihao can be elected as an official, it is not easy. This is an opportunity to let your own juniors enter the ranks, and then add your own operation, not to mention step by step, at least the order of a county is not a problem.
These words also made Zhu Hongtian fall into deep thought.
The court expressed their opinions, recorded them, and then refined them, and finally gave the best strategy.
After the next court, many people glanced at each other, and they all saw some thoughts in each other's eyes, and smiled.
The Ye family, as one of the eight great families of Xihao Kingdom, is famous not only for his family status, but also for his military family. At this moment, the head of the Ye family, Ye Wu, one of the commanders of the Praetorian Guard, convened a family meeting and told him about today's affairs in the court, and said: "What do you think, what needs to be done in terms of disaster relief, and to what extent?" There is also Yuyang County, His Majesty seems to be extremely fond of that Liu Feiyun, and so is the Prime Minister, who is remote and stable over there, but has a lot of credit. ”
Ye Wu's younger brother Ye Yong said: "Big brother, we are definitely not as good as the other families in terms of financial resources, so we can do our best to let Your Majesty see that we are not pretentious." If you are in Yuyang County, you can send people, now that the situation is getting more and more chaotic, there must be a lot of merits to be fished over there, because large-scale battles will not break out in the remote, which is just suitable for juniors to experience. ”
Someone affirmed: "What the second master said is extremely true, I also think that Yuyang County can be used as a place for training, it seems that Liu Feiyun has a lot of ability, just to observe and learn." Although we are one of the eight great families, only learning and progressing can make the family last for a long time. ”
"Well, if you want to be a person, think about who is suitable. The disaster relief matter was handed over to Ye Shang to deal with, not seeking merit but seeking no fault. ”
The man named Ye Shang stood up and said respectfully: "Family master, please rest assured, I will definitely do this well." ”
This kind of thing happened in the homes of many ministers of the Xihao Kingdom, each with their own thoughts, thinking about gains and losses.
