The war horse seemed to have exhausted its strength, struggled for a while, and could not stand up. The knight's lips were chapped and his head was covered in sweat, and he had obviously been running for a long time. Qu Duan stared at him and didn't say anything, Li Yanqi had already shouted: "You panic!" Say! ”

"Commanders, chiefs, the rebel general Murong Wei led the party members south to Kouhuanzhou. Anbian City, the two guards of Qingping Pass will defect to the thieves! Hongde and Suyuan retreated without a fight! Right now, Zhang Zhan is fighting with the thief army in Wulun Village! The messenger finished the passage almost in one breath, and when he finished speaking, he was as smooth as an ox, and it seemed that he could not support it.

The left and right generals are shocked! Murong Wei was the former commander of the Huanqing Shuai Division, and after being expelled by the marshal, he defected to the Xia Kingdom. There has been no big move for a long time, so that I almost forgot about this handful of birds, but I didn't expect that he would be able to get the help of the party members to violate my boundary! I didn't expect that the guards of many military fortresses actually defected! The marshal should have completely wiped out the king-like old ministry at the beginning, if this is the case, how can there be today's disaster!

Qu Duan listened, his eyelids didn't move, and he said indifferently: "Such a traitor is at the end of his rope and is dying. Zhang Zhongyan will be able to defeat the enemy. After saying that, he still ordered the review of the troops.

The thousands of soldiers were all majestic on the school field, practicing formations, and cooperating very tacitly. For a while, the sound of killing shook the ground, the swords and guns were shining, and Qu Duan was happy to see it, and he kept commenting on the troops with the generals on the left and right, as if it was nothing. Seeing the coach like this, his subordinates were relieved. Zhang Zhongyan is under the jurisdiction of Huanzhou's soldiers and horses, with 8,000 elite soldiers in his hands, and according to the danger, it should not be difficult to defeat Murong Wei, a traitorous thief.

After the exercise, Qu Duan personally commented and rewarded the officers. The troops had not yet dispersed, and when they saw that the supervisor of the Shuai Division had arrived in a hurry, they stood on the sidelines and were uneasy. Qu Duan saw it in his eyes, and immediately ordered the troops to return to the camp, led the generals forward, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Dashuai, Kang Sui has already entered the city." The officer whispered.

Qu Duan looked at him suddenly, frowned, and said, "Kang Sui? "Kang followed the garrison Wei Bian Village, concurrently served as an inspection envoy, located at the front of the Jin front, and directly guarded against the security army occupied by the Jin army, what is the reason why he does not stay on the front line and suddenly returns to the city?

"Yes, I'm waiting for the marshal outside the festival hall." Ji Yiguan seemed to be a little afraid of Qu Duan, and the more he spoke, the quieter he became.

When the left and right generals heard this, a hint of foreboding swelled in their hearts. Kang has always been safe in his work, and if he is not recalled, there must be a change on the front line! His defense area borders the security forces, is it ...... "go!" Qu Duan gritted his teeth and pouted the word from between his mouth. The soldier rode the iron elephant, and he turned over on his horse, and no matter how anxious his heart was, he was reluctant to whip it hard.

When the group returned to the Shuaifu, they saw a few people standing at the door, and after a closer look, they were all front-line commanders. When they saw Kang at any time, everyone was surprised! I saw that the guy was wearing remnant armor, not wearing a helmet, his hair almost covered half of his face, his left hand was hanging around his neck, his right hand was holding a half-cut gun, and he was covered in blood!

Qu Duan jumped off the horse in front of the mansion gate, and as soon as he landed, Kang casually threw the broken spear, limped and snatched it down, Fang Yi hugged his fists, and before he could speak, Qu Duan had already snorted coldly, and stepped straight into the gate. The general behind him, although he was familiar with Kang Sui, didn't dare to ask more questions at this time, and entered the festival hall.

Seeing this, Kang Sui didn't know how to deal with himself for a while, and when the officers who came back with him saw it, they all surrounded him and said: "This time the army is defeated and returned, I'm afraid the commander can't spare you and me!" ”

Kang Sui sighed: "We have done our best, and I will report to the marshal later according to the truth, and wait for the fate." "The matter has come to this, there is no other way, several defeated generals follow him, hanging their heads and waiting for the summons.

Not long after, a soldier came out to spread the word, saying that the commander was called. A subordinate picked up the broken gun and handed it over, and Kang pushed it away, still limping across the threshold.

On the festival hall, Qu Duan sat high, the handsome man and the civil and military were lined up on both sides, and Kang followed him to the hall and led the generals to worship: "I have seen the handsome in my humble position!" ”

Qu Duan didn't look at him, turned his head to the west and asked, "Who is the one who is set up in the hall?" ”

"Humble duty, edge patrol makes Kang Sui." Kang followed his tone with anger and replied stiffly.

"Since he is a border patrol envoy, why did he leave his post without permission? You should know the law of martial arts! Qu Duan asked with a loud voice.

Kang Sui was afraid in his heart, but after all, he still made a heart, hugged his fists and said: "Dashuai Rongyu, a few days ago, the Jin army traced the Luo River to the west and raided Huaiwei Fort. After hearing the news, the lowly post quickly reinforced, but the army did not arrive, and Fort Wyway had fallen. Humbling the situation, thinking that the Weibian village had few soldiers and was not enough to resist, he led the army to retreat to Shengqiang Fort, concentrated his troops, and cleared the wilderness. Jin Jun Zhi, humbly led his troops to fight with it for four days, but he was outnumbered......"

Qu Duan didn't wait for him to finish, and cut it off: "You have 4,000 soldiers and horses, where are you now?" ”

Kang Sui felt his scalp tingle, and he couldn't say that sentence anyway. When Qu Duan saw it, he sneered: "You don't say it, it's all here?" ”

"The remnants of the lowly rank are out of the encirclement, and only more than 500 brothers remain." Kang replied in a low voice.

In the festival hall, everyone stood straight and motionless. But my heart is up and down, what's wrong? Huanqing has always been known for its danger and difficulty, and in the defense area, there are dozens of various military fortresses, and the Jin army is not scattered in the Guanzhong Plain, so what are you doing to fight us?

And how is it such a coincidence? The traitor Murong Wei attacked Huanzhou, and the gold thief came to Kou Qingyang again? In this, is it ...... "What are you going to do when you come back?" Qu Duan asked in a deep voice.

Kang Sui's heart was shocked, he reluctantly raised his head, and when he touched the fierce gaze of the big handsome, he couldn't help but avoid it. Kneeling down with difficulty, he bowed his head and said: "Although I lost the fortress and lost my soldiers, I have done my best. The Jin army is ......"

"Powerful? This is not Shaanxi, not Yongxing! How much can the Jin army dispatch? How big can it be than you? You led 4,000 elite soldiers, and you were defeated in such a short time, and you still have the face to come back! Qu Duan's voice was so loud that Kang and his subordinates trembled, their hands and feet were cold, and none of them dared to answer.

Qu Duan smashed the handsome case and shouted: "Military law is ruthless, you can't tolerate it!" Around! "The samurai in front of the hall heard the sound and entered!

Kang was shocked, straightened up, and argued: "The handsome man is angry! The lowly rank has done its best! In the melee, the lowly body was wounded by more than a dozen, and there was no fear of fleeing! Please be handsome! Tolerate the lowly rank and others before wearing the guilty army! ”

"We don't raise waste people in our army! Around! Bet on the will go out, slash! Qu Dashuai was furious and shouted loudly.

As soon as the soldiers swarmed up, they first cut Kang Sui's arms. His left arm was originally wounded with a knife, and his face changed in pain when he was pulled by this, and he still begged: "Spare your life!" Allow humiliation to make meritorious service in front of the guilty army to redeem his life! Handsome! Handsome! ”

Li Yanqi has always been good friends with Kang Sui, seeing this situation, if he doesn't save him, he will definitely die today. He was defeated, but he did not sin unto death. Thinking of this, he also made a statement and made a report: "Dashuai, although Kang Sui has a big crime, he remembers his past merits, and leaves this life for meritorious service in the future." ”

Qu Duan slapped the desk, and pointed his finger Kang and said: "Like such a rat, with 4,000 elite soldiers, he actually lost the three towns on the edge of the edge and returned to Qingyang, what is the use of keeping him!" If you don't be beheaded, where is the majesty of military law! If this precedent is set, how can the soldiers be commanded? Where will it come from? ”

"Dashuai, seeing that he is wounded, it is obvious that after a hard fight, he is not a rout. If he really beheads him, I'm afraid it will be...... I'm afraid it's going to attract discussion. He wanted to say, "I am afraid that the hearts of the brothers will be chilled," but if he said this in front of the great commander, if he angered him, I am afraid that even he himself would suffer.

"Discussion! Who dares to discuss! "Qu Duan is furious!

Seeing that he was angry, Li Yanqi didn't dare to reply, turned his head and glanced at Kang Sui, very sorry, and retreated silently. Even he touched the nail, and the others were even more silent, and no one pleaded anymore.

At this moment, a man came out, in his thirties, seven feet and five feet long, extremely majestic. The eyes are bright, the bridge of the nose is high, and he wears a green robe with a leather belt, and he looks good. He bowed to Qu Duan and said loudly: "Dashuai, Kang is guilty casually, and he must also report to the Xuanfu Division to decide life and death. ”

General Zuo, ten ** gasps! There are really people who are not afraid of things! How many days have you come to Huanqing, dare to say this in front of the handsome?

Qu Duan didn't have a seizure immediately, looked directly at this person, and asked, "Li Yanxian, you are an expelled criminal, dare to make noise in front of Ben Shuai?" ”

This person is Li Yanxian, after retiring to Jingzhao with Yao Pingzhong, Xu Wei took special care of him, and took the opportunity of selecting talents to recommend him to Huanqing for an errand. The position assigned by the Propaganda and Pacification Department is the commander. But when he arrived in Qingyang, Qu Duan asked him to be a "preparation messenger" for the commander, that is, to run errands for the chief. People of this level ran out to say "big words", no wonder Qu Duan wanted to expose his shortcomings.

Fan Zhixu gathered several Western Army Qin Wang, and made nonsense, Li Yanxian, who was just a small officer at the time, said a few words and was expelled from the army by cutting his post. Somehow it was known to Qu Duan.

Li Yanxian didn't know how to answer, and said again: "Qu Shuai, this matter is indeed a little inappropriate." ”

Everyone is looking for prestige, but it is the "famous" Liu Guangshi. Now the official worship Huanqing Jinglu appeases the deputy envoy, which is also arranged by the Xuanfu Disposal Division. Don't look at Liu Guangshi's ability to fight, but he is famous, and he is a son of the Liu family. Although Qu Duan hated this kind of nominal general's son the most, he didn't dare to treat him like Li Yanxian. At this time, when he saw him come out to block the cross, he said unhappily: "Why did Vice Marshal Liu say this?" Kang lost his land and lost his troops, and the commander had his own military law to deal with him, what was wrong? ”

"Kang Sui's rank is not low, he is not an ordinary soldier, if you want to kill him, you should report to the Xuanfu Disposal Department as usual, and you can only execute it after approval. The big handsome is now bypassing Youji, I'm afraid it can't be said. Liu Guangshi said with a smile.

Although Qu Duan didn't care, it was inconvenient to say anything out of line on this occasion. After a period of silence, he said down the steps: "Since it is the deputy marshal who intercedes, I will spare you this time!" Although capital crimes are exempted, if they are not punished, how can they be punished? Thirty rods! Speaking of this, he paused and said to Liu Guangshi, "Deputy marshal, is this appropriate?" ”
