Chapter 12: Cold Wind and Anger (1)
Nine days of non-stop running, I led 200 Yue cavalry galloped in the territory of Wuyuan County, all the way through, full of wreckage and broken walls, miserable. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
The bitter cold wind blew our cheeks, but it could not extinguish the anger in our hearts.
The snowflakes in the sky blocked our eyes, but they couldn't stop us from taking revenge.
"General! Five miles ahead, Hu Lu was robbing the village. "Scout Chief Li Zhong reported back to me.
"Quick! Speed up and save people! I exclaimed.
A village on the outskirts of Jiuyuan County is wailing endlessly, blood is flowing like a river, and the killing is like hell. The villagers begged for mercy in vain, and the resistance was ineffective, and more than 100 Xianbei rangers arbitrarily raped and plundered, killing people for fun.
"Brothers, people can be killed at will, women can play at will, things are grabbed at will, those cowardly Han soldiers are hiding in the city, they don't dare to come out, haha..."
A sharp arrow burst through the air and pierced through the back of the centurion's head, ending his unbridled laughter.
"Kill!" I drew my sword and rode my horse into the town with a lot of hatred.
At this time, the Xianbei marauders were plundering, and we were killed by a rush, and most of them were killed and wounded.
I slashed to death a Xianbei brute who was walking out of the house with a wine jar, and was about to turn the horse's head, but I saw another Xianbei brute walking out of the house with his pants and a scimitar with blood dripping in his hand, and yelled at me in Chinese: "You Han soldiers, you are so shameless, sneak attack us!" β
I glared at him hatefully, and I fell back three feet, then rushed straight over, and before he could react, I knocked me to the ground. I jumped off the horse, swung my sword and cut off his limbs, stomped on his face, and vented angrily: "You raped and killed innocents, and you still have a face, right?" You've burned and plundered, and you've got face, right? You ruined my Chinese civilization, and you still have a face, right? We're a big country, so we should be tolerant of you, right? We're a big country, so we should be reasonable with you, right? Shall we feed and clothe you when we are strong? Should we be ravaged by you when we are weak? No! It's all over! I want you to pay it back with blood! I'm going to make you disappear forever! β
After everyone finished clearing the Xianbei cavalry, Dong Xi saw that I was frantically trampling on a corpse that had already been sparse, and stepped forward to grab me and said, "Lord, we have finished clearing and leaving no one behind." β
I was pulled by Dong Xian, and then I came back to my senses, took a long breath, stabilized my thoughts, and asked, "Are there still living people in the village?" β
Hou Huowu, the Yue cavalry army, returned: "General Hui, we searched one side carefully, and found a young man still breathing under the pile of corpses, and the rest of the people had been killed. β
"Damn! It's still late! "I punched the earthen wall, and I didn't know the pain.
"General, this place is already Jiuyuan County, where Wuyuan County is located, this wave of Hulu must be the advance force, it seems that they have a great appetite and are ready to plunder the county seat!" Huo Wu reminded.
"Well, Ziping (Huo Wuzi) You're right, we should have prepared early." I nodded.
Subsequently, everyone cremated the unfortunate dead villagers, and hung the bodies of all the Xianbei people upside down at the entrance of the village, so that the Hu people who came later did not dare to be bold in the slaughter, and we took the survivor and led the Xianbei people's war horses to the Wuyuan county town.
As I hurried, I pondered: The village just now, there are more than 100 families, which is not small in the frontier, such a village should not be far from the county seat, and these Xianbei people dare to plunder so boldly, and the county soldiers have not appeared, is it possible that Wuyuan County has been besieged or broken? This is unreasonable, the Hu people are not good at attacking cities, and the county town should be fine. The only reason why the Xianbei people are so fearless to loot near the county town must be that there are traitors in the city to prevent the rescue, and I have to enter the city immediately to find out the spies, and then it will be too late.
Gohara County Town.
The dilapidated city wall tells the vicissitudes of Wuyuan County, protecting the Han people inside from the plundering of the Hu people.
We came to the city under the banner of the Han Dynasty, and Hou Huowu, the Yue cavalry army, shouted to the city wall: "The Han Dynasty has captured the general Qian Kun, on the orders of the emperor, supervise the Wuyuan military, and open the city gate quickly!" β
"You wait, I'll report to Taishou." The city gate school hurriedly reported that he had gone.
An hour later, Guo Hong, the Taishou of Wuyuan County, led all the officials out of the city to greet him.
Guo Hong politely bowed his hand and asked: "General, it's hard all the way!" Please! β
I also bowed my hand and said, "I will be greeted by Lord Lao Taishou in person, please!" β
County House, Dinner.
Guo Hong raised his glass and said: "Lord Captain, we are in a remote area, and there are no good things for adults to pick up the wind and dust, so don't be suspicious!" β
"Lord Taishou is polite, I wonder if you have received a call for help from nearby villages and towns today?" I asked straight to the point.
Guo Hong was taken aback, and replied casually: "No! I've been at the government all day, and I haven't received any distress notice!"
I asked, "Have you received it?" β
"Back to my lord, no!" The rest of the officials said.
I looked around at the officials, and I always felt strange, and I couldn't think of it for a while.
Huo Wu, who was sitting next to me, whispered: "General, from the time we entered the city to the present, all of them are civil officials, and there is no one in the military attachΓ©, so there must be fraud among them!" I nodded slightly, and commanded softly, "You go and inform the brothers quickly, and gather outside the hall." β
Huo Wu took the order and left.
"Bang" I kicked the flying strip case suddenly, and shouted: "No! How do you explain the destruction of a village and town only 20 miles from the county seat and the killing of more than 300 people? β
Taishou Guo Hong hurriedly said: "The general is angry, I really don't know, at this time in previous years, the Xianbei people retreated after looting at the border, how can they be so bold this year, and I hope the general will see it!" β
I glared at the crowd at the banquet and called, "Where are the military attachΓ©s such as the commander and the county lieutenant?" β
"Lord Hui, Du Wei and other martial artists, colluding with Xianbei, have been corrected by noon today." Long history Song Dian said.
"Oh, there is such a thing! No wonder Xianbei is so arrogant. "I'm enlightened.
Song Dian hurriedly patted his ass and said, "The general is wise!" β
I apologized and said to Taishou Guo Hong: "I'm sorry, I'm angry, I didn't understand the reason and went crazy, don't blame!" β
"The general is really temperamental, how dare this official blame!" Guo Hong said politely.
"By the way, Lord Lao Fu called all the military marquis, team leaders, and chiefs, and I want to ask questions to see if there are any Xianbei spies." I said.
"The general is reasonable!" Guo Hong immediately summoned the little official and said, "Quickly go and call all the military marquis, team leaders, and even chiefs in the city." β
"Xiaguan go and take a little relief." Song Dian retired and went out with the little official.
After a while, Song Dian returned to his seat.
Huo Wu also walked back to me drunk, put his arm on my shoulder, and said, "General, all the brothers have come to drink with you!" β
I pushed Huo Wu away and shouted, "Nonsense, is this the place where they should come!" Tell them to stand up for me outside, and they are not allowed to leave without my order! β
Huo Wu instantly woke up and hurriedly ran out.
"The general is strictly disciplined, I admire it so much!" Song Dian said.
After chatting with the officials of Wuyuan County for half an hour, the junior official replied: "Your Excellency, the sergeants are already waiting outside the door. β
I walked out of the hall with Guo Hong and other officials, and when the cold wind hit, I shook my spirit and said to the sergeants: "Do you know about the robbery of the Hu people today? β
The sergeants said in unison: "I don't know. β
"I ask again, you really don't know?" I asked again viciously.
I saw a few sergeants being pulled by the people next to them, and they wanted to stop talking.
"Take it!" I suddenly shouted loudly, and when the Yuecai soldiers, who had been waiting for a long time, heard the order, they immediately arrested all the officers and sergeants.
Guo Hong was pressed to the ground by my guard Dong Hong, and said puzzledly: "My lord, what are you doing here?" β
"Shut up! You'll find out later! Dong Hongdao.
He was sharply said, "Are you still unwilling to tell the truth?" β
At this time, a sergeant was prostrate and cried: "We were all coerced by Song Changshi, so we hid it from the adults, and the adults spared their lives!" β
"What is your position? And what is there to hide? Let's be honest. I asked out loud.
"The villain's name is He Bi, and he is a city patrol team under the captain. A day ago, a scout reported that a large group of Xianbei cavalry was coming to our county, and after hearing this, the lieutenant hurried to the county seat to discuss with Lord Taishou. Later, I don't know what happened, the heads of the lieutenants and county lieutenants were hung on the city gates, and then Song Changshi told us that the lieutenants colluded with the Hu people to rebel and told us to stick to the city and not go out without permission. Now that the adults have summoned us, it is also Song Changshi who has sent people to blackmail us, and we are not allowed to tell the truth. My lord, when you asked me just now, I wanted to say it, but I was held by Kui Yi next to me with a dagger against his waist, so I didn't say it, please be gracious! β
"Song Changshi!" I walked up to Song Dian and shouted.
"All of this is Taishou's idea, and it has nothing to do with me!" Song Dian quibbled.
Guo Hong saw that he was framed, and scolded Song Dian: "You shameless person, it turns out that you made all this a ghost, saying that Du Wei advocated going out of the city to meet the enemy, in order to bring the enemy into the city; What do you say Xianbei will retreat after a while, hide in the city for safety, and now dare to frame me, you bastard. β
I ignored the two of them dog-eat-dog, walked up to Kui Yi, drew his sword against his chest and said, "What else do you have to say?" β
Kui Yi was so frightened that he said incontinencely: "My lord, spare my life, it's Song Changshi who said that he wants to be a Taishou and wants me to help him, if I don't comply, the whole family will die!" β
The matter has become clear, I ordered Yue Cai to put all the officials in the county jail, interrogated the details overnight, and ordered that from now on, the whole city can only enter and not leave, and those who leave the city without my order will be killed!
The next day, the truth was revealed: thirty days ago, Duwei Yangzhong found that there was a large Xianbei cavalry on the border, and while urgently reporting to the imperial court, he actively prepared for war. I didn't want Guo Hong to be timid and afraid, and I listened to Song Dian's slander, and before I arrived, I brutally killed Du Wei and others who advocated going out of the city to meet the enemy. Last night, Guo Hong and the others originally thought that I had just come to the scene, and they didn't want the East Window incident to happen, so they wanted to blackmail a group of people and others to lie that they didn't know. As for Song Dian, it is a Xianbei mongrel, Xianbei is called Begging and Decadent, mixed in Wuyuan County, the year before last intercepted and killed the new long history Song Dian, impostor today, in order to cooperate with Xianbei outside the city, loot the county town.
