Five-fifty-two, betrayal
After the battle, the nameless canyon was filled with the smell of blood, Yang Zaixing carried a spear and leather boots stepped through the pool of blood, and from time to time stabbed the enemy on the ground to try whether the other party pretended to be dead.

Zhou Quan's order was to leave no prisoners, so even if a large number of Seljuk coalition troops surrendered on their knees, they would be killed. Although this is cruel, it is only possible to deal with such people who rob and kill in the name of religion more ferocious than they can - only in this way can their reverence for justice shatter their dreams of self-deception, can they save more innocent people, and can they complete the redemption of these fellows.
Chong Yanchong followed behind him, also doing the same thing of mending the knife. After learning that this battle was only about half an hour, and hundreds of thousands of silver yuan were defeated, he very much agreed with the matter of mending the knife.
However, their actions did not last long, and an officer ran over with a tiger face: "Yang Zaixing, you little wolf cub!" ”
is Yang Zaixing's top boss.
Yang Zaixing smiled and saluted, without a hint of embarrassment on his face: "Team up!" ”
"Horn!"
Yang Zaixing's boss circled half a circle, flew up and kicked him on the buttocks, and scolded through gritted teeth: "You little wolf cub, you caused trouble for me again, today Lao Tzu is desperately violating the military order, and he will beat you up!" ”
Chong Yanchong's heart tightened when he heard this, he had a lot of dealings with Yang Zaixing, knowing that this human nature was like a raging fire, and his boss scolded him like this, and he wanted to beat him, how could he not resist!
Resisting the boss is a big crime in any army, and it may even kill your head, and it is no exception in the Huaxia army!
But Yang Zaixing didn't resist, and after being kicked by the team again, he sighed and screamed in pain, as if he was really kicked.
Chong Yanchong was a little surprised, this was different from Yang Zaixing in his impression.
Then I heard another team member next to him say in a weird manner: "Don't make a show, go to your Highness to do it, don't be in front of us, who doesn't know that you Ling Zongyuan is in love with Yang Zaixing, I will exchange three people for you, and you won't do it!" ”
"Nonsense, the sum of your three people is not as good as Lao Tzu and Yang Zaixing!" Ling Zongyuan was exposed, and he didn't look like it anymore, he first replied to his companion, and then pushed Yang Zaixing: "Little wolf cub, go, go see Yue Shuai, you, this time it's a big fuss!" ”
After finishing speaking, he lowered his voice again and smiled: "But it's beautiful, I like it!" ”
Chong Yanchong was a little speechless, is this the relationship between superiors and subordinates in the Huaxia Army?
When Yang Zaixing was brought to Yue Fei, Yue Fei ignored him, but instructed a messenger: "After you go back, report to Your Highness, don't exaggerate, don't emphasize our achievements, just say victory!" ”
"Yue Shuai, why don't you boast about our results?" Someone asked, puzzled.
"What is this boasting about, the enemy is like a pack of chickens and dogs, and we still have more than 100 casualties, which is not worth mentioning...... Moreover, although this battle is a big victory strategically, it is a loss-making business at worst. ”
Yue Fei didn't speak, the deputy general next to him smiled and spoke, these two have also cooperated for many years, and they know that Yue Fei doesn't like nonsense, so he took it.
"How did you lose money?" Someone else asked.
"Look at what we've captured, weapons and armor that are too heavy to bring back...... A bunch of skinny animals, a pile of tattered furs, whew, this battle has killed our military expenses of more than two million silver yuan, and we have earned less than a fraction of it! ”
"It's a pity that these captives can't be sent to hard labor, otherwise they can make ends meet." And humane.
"It's okay, it's okay, just make a lot of money strategically, after this battle, the Western Regions will be in our hands, and the land of Ganshan and Yinling, there will be no boundless troubles, there are many good places here!"
Chong Yanchong was speechless again, he knew that some people in Xijing had been secretly saying that Zhou Quan was a businessman rather than a benevolent lord, and now it seemed that at least Zhou Quan's troop style did have some stakes in terms of gain and loss.
This is what he doesn't understand, but it's where Zhou Quan is more rational than other heroes. Even if he is now richer than the world and powerful since ancient times, Zhou Quan will not easily use force. If the use of force is necessary, it must be because the benefits of using it far outweigh the costs.
Zhou Quan knew very well that the reckless and warlike soldiers would die.
After sending the messenger away, Yue Fei turned his face and looked at Yang Zaixing.
No matter how strong Yang Zaixing is, Chong Yanchong found that he was a little trembling now, and Ling Zongyuan, the team leader next to him, stepped forward and saluted, and said with a smile: "This guy attacked without permission, and his subordinates have already taught him a lesson, and his subordinates also beat him, so how long does his memory ...... This violates the military discipline of our army, and I ask Yue Shuai to punish him! ”
The corners of Yue Fei's mouth curved very covertly, but it was fleeting.
"Ling Zongyuan, the mistakes you made will be punished by your immediate superiors. However, Yang Zaixing acted in front of the two armies without authorization, and violated the military discipline of the whole army, and he deserved to be punished heavily! Yue Fei didn't speak, and the deputy next to him hurriedly said.
In fact, it was still the stick raised high and gently knocked down, but this time, Yue Fei did not agree: "Military discipline is a major event, it is not the same leisure, and the black house is confined for seven days." ”
"Alas!" Yang Zaixing was suddenly dejected.
"Ahem, but capturing the enemy's heavy generals in battle is also a miracle, so you should give some rewards, right?" The deputy said again.
"Following Han Shizhong's old example, if you act without authorization on the battlefield, even if you make meritorious service, there is no reward." Yue Fei said.
Yang Zaixing's mind turned: "Yue Shuai, can you wait for the pursuit before confinement, I am willing to be confined for fourteen days......"
"Don't think about it." Yue Fei spat out two words.
This time Yang Zaixing really hung his head, which means that in the next pursuit, he will lose his usefulness.
"Why didn't I catch the Sultan of the Syrsto!" He said with some chagrin.
"Sultan, Sultan, this way!"
More than a hundred miles away from the Flesh Canyon, Sajar jumped to his feet, opened his eyes and looked around, then gasped violently. He still heard the cries of his loyal subordinates to save him, but when he looked at it, it was pitch black.
In the silence of the night, the only thing that broke the silence was the occasional sound of the moaning of wounded soldiers, except for the fierce sound of the wind blowing and the fire.
There were not many moans and pains, because there were not many wounded soldiers left in this battle.
Sajar gasped for a few breaths, let go of his hand holding the knife, held it on the ground, and slowly stood up.
The loss was so miserable that almost everything was lost, and even he, the dignified sultan, like an ordinary soldier, fled for more than sixty miles in one day, and at night could only sleep on the ground wrapped in a cloak. Fortunately, this is the northwest of China, and there is little rain, so the ground is dry. But Sajar knew that in another half month or so, it might start to snow.
Originally, it was intended to return to the Western Regions before the snow, and then return to Seljuk after spending the winter there, but now it seems that this plan has changed.
Sajar was well aware of what would happen when news of the fiasco reached Seljuk.
The so-called Seljuk Empire was never a real empire, the Sultan only had nominal power, and this name was given by the Caliphate. It was only the force of the Seljuk Turks that maintained the empire, but now, this force has collapsed, and Sajar still controls the number of troops in his hands, I don't know if there are 10,000!
"Then we can only rely on the power of the East, and my two sons-in-law must lead part of their army back with me!" Sajar thought to himself: "Even if they themselves don't go, I'll take part of the army from them!" ”
But Wushu and Li Qianshun, the two cheap sons-in-law, are not easy to deal with, and I am afraid it will take a lot of effort to make them bow down and obey orders.
Sajar pondered for a moment, and felt that he had thought of a way.
"Send a messenger to the Wushu and bring the old man from the mountain." Sajar decided to start with the vultures, his eyes shining with a cold glow.
The envoy left quickly, not knowing whether he was in a hurry to complete the task given to him by the Sultan or to leave the land of right and wrong.
He ran wildly for two days, almost getting lost several times, but fortunately encountered some broken coalition forces, and learned the location of the vultures. Wushu was not in the place originally mentioned, he and his army had already returned to Lingzhou!
The envoy could only turn back to Lingzhou, and when he was finally brought to Wushu, the whole person was already exhausted.
"The Sultan has an order, summon Hassan Sabah back!" Panting, the messenger said.
Wushu and the old man in the mountain glanced at each other, and Wushu smiled all over his face: "I heard that the Sultan is a little unfavorable, and he didn't dare to step forward alone, so he withdrew to Lingzhou, may I ask what is the situation of the Sultan now, is the loss of our army serious, and does the Sultan need me to send reinforcements?" ”
The messenger was Sajal's confidant, and he knew that Sajjar was weak at this time, and he couldn't let Wushu and Li Qianshun see it, so he said expressionlessly: "The front is just a small setback, the Sultan ordered to return to Lingzhou and prepare to fight again, and you don't need to send reinforcements." ”
"Please rest the messenger, take a sip of water, I'll be ready soon." The old man in the mountain said.
The envoy was unkind to the Wushu, but he did not dare to the old man in the mountain, after all, in his hometown, the old man in the mountain was extremely prestigious, and even today, after suffering a heavy setback, few people dared to disrespect him.
Therefore, after hearing the words of the old man in the mountain, he bowed down respectfully and retreated as he said.
"Looks like what I expected is true." Wushu grinned: "Old man, it's time for you to choose." ”
Beside him, Fang Hao's eyes flickered twice after regaining his original appearance, and he made a gesture covertly, and then a samurai opened the tent and entered.
The old man in the mountain stared at the vultures for a long time and said slowly, "Are you really willing to convert to my sect?" ”
"Like you, I don't believe in the true God at all, we just want to use his power." Wushu pursed his lips: "As long as it can help me achieve my goals, I don't care if this power comes from a true god or an evil ghost, the Jade Emperor or the Buddha?" ”
"Since you say so...... Then, as you wish, I will guide you, and I will cooperate with you in your expedition to the land of Persia! When the old man in the mountain said this, his words changed: "But there is a premise for all this!" ”
"I know, great Jasser-sultan, he will not return to Persia alive!" Vulture Dao.
