Chapter 256: Town General Wang De
Several old guys from the Wang family are all dead.
Xiaoyaozi shook off the blood on the sword, looked at the several corpses on the ground and sighed: "The Wang family is finished!" ”
The Wang family is indeed finished. The people living in Wubao are all important people of the Wang family, they may be the old ministers of Zhishi, or they may be famous people in the Tang Dynasty, and even the old teachers of Taixue and Guozijian Zhishi at home. But now it's useless to have any identity, at least the three teams under Li Yi don't have the habit of treating prisoners preferentially.
Zheng Ming appeared in front of Li Yi covered in blood, startling Li Yi: "What's the matter?" Is the injury serious? ”
Zheng Ming smiled: "It's all someone else's." I had a surprise interrogation of the Wang family just now, and it seems that there are a few people from the main line who have been on the grassland and have not come back at all. The officials in Jinyang City are basically from the Wang family, and there are officials from other places, but there are not many. There are a few in the DPRK, but the status is not high. ”
Zheng Ming said not high, it has not yet reached the third grade or above. He was cool this time, when interrogating the Wang family, all kinds of methods were used, even if Liu Hao once said that it was theoretically possible, this interrogation master also studied it with a scholarly attitude.
Li Yi patted Zheng Ming on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Zhicai is really as wise as a torch, and he can discover talents like you." ”
Zheng Ming smiled embarrassedly: "Actually, the general is still powerful, and he was tortured by the general himself to extract a confession, which is unforgettable!" At that time, I really thought I was going to die, but I didn't know that my body was not injured. ”
Li Yi nodded: "Zhicai is indeed a geek, the old man really hopes that he will come up with more ghost ideas and let my Datang move to a new level as soon as possible!" ”
It was daylight, and now the whole of Uborg was filled with a strong smell of blood. Groups of soldiers were carefully searching each courtyard to see if there were still fish that had slipped through the nets of the Wang family, and the captured captives were all tied with ropes, and followed the soldiers to a tall courtyard, everyone's eyes were confused, and they did not know what their fate would be.
There are also unconvinced Wang family members who are scolding, but they only scold a few words. Because everyone who opened their mouths would be violently beaten by the soldiers next to them, and even a few who wanted to escape were killed on the spot by several soldiers. The people of the Wang family deliberately remembered this night for life, and the day before, they were still in the Wang family and even in Jinyang, but today they have become prisoners, and some people even lost their lives.
Those who do not believe in evil are all taken away, and the rest are more honest than the other. The three teams are all from Luoyang, and one is bigger than the other. The people of the Wang family wanted to ask about the situation, but they couldn't find anyone. They knew Li Yi, but now let alone say hello to Li Yi, they couldn't get close at all.
Lu Yue and his outer cavalry also withdrew into the city and took over the entire defense of Wubao. Outside the city, except for the horses that were released, the four gates had been firmly closed. Except for sending someone to deliver a letter to Luoyang, Li Yi did not give any other orders. He is still in shock.
In the Wang family's warehouse, there are mountains of grain, weapons like forests, and all kinds of strategic materials. They came suddenly, and immediately attacked the city after arriving, and did not give the Wang family a chance to rectify the city defense. Otherwise, the dozens of well-maintained city defense crossbows in the warehouse alone would be enough for them.
Several warehouses are connected one after the other. Gao Shixiang, who was in charge of checking these data, said to Li Yi: "These grains are probably the accumulation of the entire Jinyang area for several years. If it is transported to Luoyang, it is enough for Luoyang to have almost a year's ration. These weapons were all produced in the Jinyang Soldier's Workshop, which was enough to equip an army of tens of thousands of people. And the armor and armor are readily available, if the Wang family really gets into trouble, the consequences will be absolutely unimaginable! ”
Li Yi frowned and said, "Fortunately, the people of the Wang family didn't set fire to these grains and grass last night, otherwise not only the entire Wubao, I'm afraid I wouldn't have lost my life!" The Wang family actually dared to do such a rebellious thing, I'm afraid that I really won't be able to leave for a while. The head of the barracks, as well as the generals of the Jinyang garrison, are all from the Wang family. I'm afraid that Your Majesty will let us occupy these two places for the sake of long nights and dreams, and then send officials over again to eliminate the traces of the Wang family. ”
Gao Shi couldn't help but say, "In this case, I'm afraid it will take a long time." Can these three teams of men and horses under the old general stay here forever? ”
Li Yi shook his head: "At that time, there will definitely be someone who will sit here again to lead the garrison, and we will definitely not be here for a long time." ”
At this moment, a fast horse came running: "General Bing, there is a group of people and horses in Jinyang City, and the number is about five hundred." They were marching in the direction of Uburg. ”
Li Yi said "oh": "Who is the leader?" ”
The man arched his hand again: "The person who is the main lineage of the Wang family, looking at the clothes, is the guard of Luoyang, and the specific name is unknown." ”
Li Yi nodded: "Let Lu Yue go and arrest him and hand him over to Zheng Ming for interrogation." Don't let any of those 500 people go! ”
After the horse returned, Gao Shi smiled: "It is estimated that the people nearby heard the shouting and killed and reported to the city, and this person came to see the truth." ”
Li Yi laughed: "There are only five hundred people, if Lu Yue can't clean it up, the old man will dismiss him and let him feed the horses!" ”
It turns out that Lu Yue still doesn't like to feed the horses. After receiving the news, he rushed out of Wubao with a sentry of men, and then set up an ambush on the road from Jinyang to Wubao, preparing to give these five hundred people a pot.
The person who led the team is named Wang De, and he is forty years old this year. He was the general of Jinyang very early, and several transfers from the imperial court, whether it was a promotion or letting him go to the border, he would find an excuse to refuse. Giving up the opportunity to be promoted is not because of how high-minded he is, but because the Wang family needs him to firmly hold the position of Jinyang Town General in his hands. The purpose of this was to seize the military power of Jinyang and create conditions for the Wang family to claim hegemony in Jinyang.
Wang Deda received a report in the morning, saying that there was a shout of killing in Wubao last night.
He was dismissive. This kind of thing is completely impossible, or no one in the whole world has the courage to do this. Besides, on the eve of Li Longji's birthday two days ago, he also came to the Holy Decree to praise the Wang family for making great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. When the Holy Grace was in its prime, who would dare to come to the king's house to make trouble?
However, although he thought so, out of caution, he brought five hundred people over to have a look. Even if there is a false alarm, let the family see the fact that they are worried about the family. The people he brought with him were basically his descendants. Because he knows that as long as he comes to Wubao, he will definitely be entertained with good wine and food. These old brothers have been with them for so long, they should be allowed to follow them or something, the family has studied the way of the emperor very deeply, and Wang De knows this very well.
Walking on the way to Wubao, Wang De rode on a horse and enjoyed the scenery in the wilderness, while thinking about what to eat today. Several old people in the family are now looking at themselves more and more kindly, do they also express themselves, so that they can move their nests. Or you can move your family into Urborg and become the backbone of the main house.
was walking well, when suddenly a group of people and horses appeared in the grass on both sides, surrounding Wang De's subordinates who were like playing in the mountains and rivers.
Lu Yuepi looked at Wang De with a smile and said, "Are you from the Wang family?" ”
Wang De subconsciously said "um", but he immediately became angry: "Who are you?" actually ran to the Wang's house to spread wild, are you tired of being alive? ”
Lu Yue didn't talk nonsense, waved his hand and said: "All of them are escorted away, and if there are disobedient ones, they will be killed directly!" Gather all their horses and let them walk. ”
Lu Yue's people were all riding on horses with steel crossbows, and Wang De saw the various weapons hanging on the horses of this group of soldiers, and immediately put away his thoughts of escaping. Because he knew that as long as these people on the other side saw any uncooperative movements on their own, they would immediately pull the trap on the steel crossbow and shoot themselves into a hornet's nest.
Wang De didn't resist, but her two personal soldiers saw that something was wrong, and as soon as they turned their horses' heads, they were about to run to Jinyang to call someone. As a result, before the two of them had run a few steps far, they were all shot with arrows. Wang De was so frightened that he was about to pee his pants, he didn't expect these people to kill people without blinking.
Lu Yue on the side glared at the people just now and scolded, "Do you have long eyes?" How to shoot indiscriminately, the two horses that are good at the end are just gone! After you go back, you are responsible for cleaning the stables for a month, and you are so angry! ”
Wang De trembled and said: "Don't be angry with this king, the little one knows where there are horses around here, if the king needs it, the little one will take the king to go, and he will definitely not let the king down!" ”
Lu Yue smiled when he heard this: "Okay, although the soldiers brought out are not very good, but this look is not bad." Say, where are there horses around here, if there are any, there will be a big reward! If you lie to Lao Tzu, he will not kill you, he will strip you of your clothes, and then throw you on the streets of Jinyang City, so that the people of the whole city can admire your demeanor! ”
Wang De's ability to observe words and emotions is really strong, which is also the reason why he can become the general of Jinyang. Over the years, he has been so indulgent and disgusted that his blood has long been polished. In addition, now Wang De is desperate to save his life in front of Lu Yue, the "King of the Mountain", he doesn't care about it at all.
Wang De said to Lu Yue: "The king doesn't know, there is a small horse farm near here, and there are thousands of horses in it. The person in charge of it is the younger brother. If the king is in need, the little one will take you there. When I got there, I can't guarantee that there are still 500 good horses. And whatever the king picks. Anyway, almost all of it has now become the property of the Wang family, and Li Longji doesn't care about it at all. ”
Lu Yue's eyes began to light up when he heard this, if he could really get thousands of war horses for nothing, then this mission would not be in vain, at least the number of horses in the military academy would increase again. Lu Yue understood that it was absolutely impossible for the military academy to swallow those horses by himself, but it was still necessary to go over and pick a batch in advance. And Lu Yue knew that Li Song and Xue Xiu were not fuel-efficient lamps. If they knew that there was a horse farm nearby, they would definitely lead a large army to loot.
