Chapter 143: Zhao Junxi's Inquiry into the Case
At the end of the day, suddenly from the direction of Dashun City, a breeze blew. Dust and sand sprinkled with the two red currents inside and outside the city, shrouding the flat land.
Shen Yun's ears suddenly heard the roars of the Great Song Dynasty soldiers, as well as the noisy voices of the Western Xia people in the hurry. In fact, what is truly powerful is always the human heart. Just like the Western Xia people, who have always been known as brave and good at fighting, seeing that there are so many Great Song soldiers and horses, and there are enemies who blow their horns somewhere, they are also in a panic.
And this panic, with the passage of the Great Song Dynasty soldiers and horses, has been transformed into a force that can kill people.
Many Tangut people knew many days ago that five thousand of their comrades had been burned here, and no one had followed in their footsteps. In addition, he didn't eat dinner, he had no food in his stomach, and he panicked in his heart, even if he was the commander of the Western Xia soldiers and horses, he was in a hurry at this time.
They had a precedent of killing several times their own Song army, but that didn't give the commander much information. Normally it was when the soldiers were strong, but now?
So, he made what he thought was the most sensible decision, which was to withdraw his troops from here.
On the hillside, seeing that the Xixia people didn't even want tents, they quickly gathered in one place and fled in the direction of the village, Zhao Junxi showed a satisfied smile.
A very important purpose of his visit this time has been achieved, next, as long as the army enters Dashun City, and then the grain and grass will be sent by the transfer envoy, then this year and Western Xia will not be able to fight.
Looking back at Shen Yun, who was as pale as usual, Zhao Junxi nodded again and again: "It's still Shen Zhixian's strategy, it doesn't take a single soldier to scare these five thousand Xixia people away." When they reacted, they came to Dashun City again, and we were well prepared. Let's go, now it's our turn to go down and have a look. ”
Seeing Zhao Junxi turn around, smiling, and striding down the hill with his hands in his hands, the corners of Shen Yun's mouth also brought a hint of a smile.
Looking at the city of Dashun again, looking at the jubilant soldiers, Shen Yun turned his head to chase Zhao Junxi and his party, who had gone far away.
As they approached the group, the deafening sound made everyone feel like they wanted to celebrate with them.
Zhao Junxi's smile became more and more prosperous. Although he did not kill or injure any Tangut people this time, it was already a great achievement to solve the siege of Dashun City. Next, as long as there is no major war, Zhao Junxi will return to the court, and he can play a good life to the emperor.
Seeing Zhao Junxi coming with his troops, Yao Yu hurriedly greeted him. But when he saw Shen Yun following behind Zhao Junxi with a smile on his face, he chuckled in his heart.
Shen Yun's difficulties he had personally experienced, especially since he was still standing behind Zhao Junxi at this time, it was hard for Yao Ji to imagine if things had completely exceeded Li Guifu and his expectations. Since the siege of Dashun City, he has never received a letter from Li Guifu, and what to do next, Yao Ji really can't think clearly.
Ren's mind was in a mess, but Yao Ji's face was still happy.
He bowed to Zhao Junxi and said very gratefully: "The last general Qingzhou inspected Yao Ji and met Shangguan." ”
Zhao Junxi nodded casually, and then instructed Yao Ji: "Okay, now let the soldiers enter the city to defend." This official came this time on the orders of the official's family. Today, Dashun City is under siege, don't take it lightly. Three days later, the Shaanxi Road Transit Envoy will transport a large number of grain, grass and ordnance. At the same time, a large number of wine and meat labor troops will also be sent. ”
China has had this tradition since ancient times, being able to contribute to something by eating. It's a practice that affects the mind through physiology, and the results are generally quite good.
And because of eating and drinking, there are more accidents, or more famous. The killing of three soldiers by two peaches is a good example, as for the more powerful, in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Song people Yang poured because the boss did not give him a piece of mutton, so he drove the boss's carriage to the enemy's camp during the battle the next day.
Sure enough, hearing Zhao Junxi's words, many soldiers around him showed joy on their faces.
After doing this, Zhao Junxi was taken by Yao Ji and walked into Dashun City.
The public office is still the previous public office, and now that Zhao Junxi is here, it is naturally regarded as his camp. At this time, Zhao Junxi finally found Yao Ji and asked about the whereabouts of Li Xin and others.
"Yao Inspector, since the imperial court got Li Zhizhou's Tang report, he has become very concerned about Li Xin and others' disobedience to the strategy, which led to the loss of 4,000 men and horses. However, there are many unclear points, especially when it involves Shen Yun of Anhua Zhi County who went out to fight without authorization and killed 5,000 Western Xia soldiers and horses, which is different from the document submitted by Shen Yun. This time, the official came to find out these things clearly, and you told me, where are Li Xin, Liu Fu, and the three of them? ”
For Yao Ji, Zhao Junxi was not polite at this time. His eyes squinted slightly at Yao Ji, and his fingers tapped lightly on the case, as if every stroke was a torture of Yao Ji. The complexion was even less kind than before, and the cold face made Shen Yun feel that Zhao Junxi, who had followed him for several days, was a fake at all.
Yao Yu's eyes froze, and then he bowed down to hide the panic on his face.
"Shangguan Rongyu, since the last general received Li Zhizhou's order to detain Li Xin, Liu Fu and Chong Yong in the public office, Li Xin knew that he had committed a mortal crime, and he died the next day by grabbing his head to the ground. His body was buried outside the city by the Admiral. ”
"As for Liu Fu and Chong Yong, this, because they were tortured, they were afraid that they would scare Shangguan if they brought them up. You might as well heal the two of them and bring them over for questioning. ”
Hearing that Liu Fu and Chong Yong were also tortured, Shen Yun suddenly frowned. He didn't expect that the two would be treated like this. Especially the seed Yong, the whole process is either escorting grain and grass, or guarding the cottage, and there is no right to make decisions at all, such a person is actually tortured.
Thinking of the tragic situation of Chongyong, Shen Yun couldn't help but rejoice in his toughness at that time. If I had withdrawn a little bit at that time, then I am afraid that my fate now will not be much better. As for the cause of Li Xin's death, hehe, who knows.
It's just that Ren Yao is cunning, and he never imagined that Zhao Junxi is a servant of the Criminal Department. He hadn't seen the torture in the prison of the Criminal Department, how could he be frightened away by Yao Ji's words.
I saw that his fingers were suddenly retracted, and he looked at the hall with a cold expression: "Since this is the case, then call a military doctor to come over, and then bring the two of them." There are some things that are better to ask today. Overnight in the province, these two people no longer survived to pass out, so wouldn't the official have to hastily close the case and return to Beijing. ”
Moreover, he couldn't trust Yao Ji at this time, so he took the arrow and handed it to the military general dispatched by the Shaanxi Road Shuai Division who came this time, and asked him to bring someone to get the person in person.
Yao Yu's face became more and more difficult to look at. At this time, there was no reason to bow down, and the uneasiness in his expression was obvious at a glance.
When Liu Fu and Chong Yong were carried to the main hall of the public house, Shen Yun's face suddenly sank.
If he hadn't known in advance, he wouldn't have recognized it at all, the two unkempt people in front of him, with thin bodies and mottled bloodstains on their clothes, were Liu Fu and Chong Yong, who had a heroic face on the back of a bear and a tiger.
Especially Liu Fu, as Li Xin's adjutant, seems to have been tortured more, and there are many holes in his clothes. Even when lying on a stretcher, there is still pus running down his body. In this tragic situation, even if Zhao Junxi experienced the scene of torture and recidivism, he couldn't help but cover up his shock with a light cough.
After calming down a little, Zhao Junxi motioned to the military doctor to treat the two of them.
Shen Yunke knew the level of military doctors. These people are basically veterinarians, and they can deal with ordinary islands and give them some gold sore medicine. For more serious injuries, gold sore medicine is still applied. Anyway, how many can survive count.
Minor injuries are supported, serious injuries are waiting for death, and I don't know if it has been the same since ancient times.
"Zhao Gong, Xia Guan Pingsu has also seen some medical skills, and now that these two people are in serious condition, you might as well let Xia Guan take a look at them too. After all, there is only one military doctor, and if you want to deal with it all, I am afraid that it will take a lot of time. ”
Shen Yun took the initiative to stand up and ask Zhao Junxi for his life. In fact, where does he know what medical skills, if he reads a few books and returns, there will be many famous doctors in the world. All he has is some common sense about cleaning and disinfecting wounds in later generations.
Zhao Junxi was surprised that Shen Yun would do this. But then he seemed to understand something.
In his feelings, Shen Yun is actually for himself. After all, there is a kind of Yong and Liu Fu alive, as long as he can ask something, then the guilt on him will be cleared. seemed to think that this was the purpose of Shen Yun's request, but Zhao Junxi did not refuse, nodded, and let Shen Yun do it himself.
The military doctor chose Liu Fu, and in his eyes, Liu Fu was a bigger official, so it might be more useful to come down. So Shen Yun could only come to Chong Yong, and seeing that this old acquaintance was about to struggle to speak, Shen Yun shook his head.
Chong Yong's injuries were relatively minor, and speaking did not hinder him from doing anything. But with Zhao Junxi sitting on it, Shen Yun didn't want him to think that the two were colluding confessions or something.
Chong Yong is not stupid, obviously he also understood what Shen Yun meant, obediently closed his eyes, and let Shen Yun do it.
Gold sore medicine is readily available, as is clear water. But Shen Yun was not satisfied with this, looked up at the soldier at the door, beckoned and ordered: "Go and get some water that has been boiled and warmed, remember to boil it." It's okay to wait a little longer. ”
Many people wondered why Shen Yun made such a request, but with Zhao Junxi watching, no one dared to say anything.
At this moment, Shen Yun slowly tore open the thin shirt on Chong Yong's body, which was full of blood. A few shocking whip marks made Shen Yun look up at Yao Ji. There was no expression in his eyes, it was a pure look. But such a look made Yao Ji more and more frightened.
A moment later, the military doctor was about to clean up Liu Fu's wounds, and Shen Yun was able to receive the first basin of water. With a clean plain cloth dipped in water, the wounds on Chongyong's body were washed everywhere. This kind of chant is also a man, and he didn't let out a single moan of pain the whole time.
After doing this, Shen Yun took the gold sore medicine and slowly applied it to the wound area of Chong Yong.
Chong Yong's lips were so painful that even his lips were about to turn white, and after Shen Yun stood up and signaled that it had been dealt with, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, compared with the two, everyone understands that after Shen Yun is dealt with like this, Chong Yong's injury will heal faster.
After experiencing the stimulation of pain again, Liu Fu's spirit became much better, and looking at Zhao Junxi's clothes in the hall, he wanted to struggle to bow down. However, he was stopped by Zhao Junxi.
"Don't salute, Liu Fu, let me ask you, have you ever seen the strategy that Li Gyufu of Gyeongju Governor gave Li Xin?"
Strategy is a very important thing, it is very clear about the strategic intent of the manager. At this time, if the strategy is still there, it can be used as the main evidence of whether Li Xin disobeyed the order. Zhao Junxi wants to open a breakthrough from this point.
Only, he was disappointed.
Liu Fu had no joy or sorrow on his face, and he didn't say a word, just shook his head vigorously. This meaning, everyone understands, no.
Zhao Junxi couldn't help but sigh.
Looking at Liu Fu like this, it is really not suitable to hear the news. Zhao Junxi could only set his eyes on Chong Yong.
"Chong Yong, you may tell me what happened before and after the loss of the village?"
Hearing Zhao Junxi ask himself, Chong Yong's pale face suddenly showed a slight flush, which was a manifestation of his extreme excitement in his heart. Immediately, he replied in a very weak voice: "After capturing the village, Li Zhan received a letter from Shen Zhi County, asking for 2,000 to defend Dashun City and send 1,000 people to protect the grain route. ”
Speaking of Shen Yun, Zhao Junxi looked at Shen Yun, who was already standing aside, and saw that he had no different color, so he looked at Chong Yong again.
However, Li Chanzhi refused. It seems that he is ready to defend the village, so he sent the last general to Dashun City to transport the grain and grass of the army for ten days. As a result, within five days, tens of thousands of Xixia people called. We couldn't resist it, so Li Zhan took us out to kill. fled to Dashun City, leaving only seven or eight hundred soldiers. ”
Speaking of this time, Chong Yong couldn't help but shed tears. It seems that the scene of the robes falling behind him one by one is right in front of him.
"So, you also know how the five thousand people in Western Xia died?"
Li Xin is dead, and Liu Fu doesn't know what is written in the strategy, so Zhao Junxi seems to have given up his plan to continue the investigation. At this time, he began to ask about things related to Shen Yun, and as soon as he finished speaking, he set his eyes on Shen Yun.
"The last general saw it with my own eyes, and when I fled back, I found two hundred paces outside the city that there were debris such as sawdust and charcoal. When he fled into the city, Li Zhan passed out. Shen Zhixian saw that the Xia people were coming, so he sent Jiang Ji, the captain of Anhua County, to lead people to shoot fire oil arrows, wanting to ignite sawdust and other objects to burn the pursuing soldiers. ”
"Who knows, as soon as the rocket was knocked to the ground by the Tanguts, a loud bang was heard. Many Tangut people were blown to pieces on the spot. The rest also fell to the ground and were eventually engulfed in flames. ”
Zhao Junxi's eyes froze: "Then, have you ever smelled the smell of gunpowder?" Did Shen Yun bury a large amount of gunpowder there in advance, waiting for the Western Xia people to come and kill them in one fell swoop? ”
