Chapter 68: The Law Is Strict
Yang Hao only learned about Jin Ling being ** at Huliugou Post Station a long time later, that day he was discussing with Ling Tong, Li Tong, Zhuang Yunqing and others in the small conference room, Qing'er suddenly broke in angrily, she pointed at Zhuang Yunqing very impolitely, and asked sharply: "The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, Sui Fang raped ** girl, why didn't your military justice department deal with him." ”
Qing'er has a conservative style of acting, and she is very measured in her interactions with people, and she rarely even comes to the inner study, so it seems so abrupt and unimaginable to break into the conference room and ask a senior general in person.
Zhuang Yunqing was stunned, like a liar who was identified in public, his face was red and green, and he was extremely embarrassed, Li Tong laughed and came to play the round: "Madame, dissipate your anger, if you have something to say slowly." ”
Qing'er's face turned pale, and she bit her lip and pointed at Li Tong's face and said, "Don't be a good person, I'll settle accounts with you later." Yang Hao slapped the case with a "snap", and shouted left and right: "Drag her out for me." Not to be outdone, Qing'er shouted, "Who dares to touch me." Mu Tong, Zhang Lang, and Li Wei looked at each other, no one dared to make a move, and the atmosphere was quite embarrassing for a while.
At this time, Ling Tong stood up and persuaded Qing'er away, Yang Hao's face turned purple with anger, and he pointed at Zhang Lang and Li Wei: "Confinement yourself for two days, go now." Zhang Lang and Li Wei were full of grievances and had nowhere to tell, so they walked out dejectedly, and then Ling Tong came back and asked Zhuang Yunqing with a black face: "Sui Fang's case, what is going on." ”
Zhuang Yunqing smiled bitterly and said, "This, where does this start." Li Tong sighed with a dark face and said, "Say whatever you want." So saying, he sat down in his chair and covered his face with his hands.
Yang Hao only knew that Jin Ling was ** in Huliugou on the way to Xiao Chang'an, in addition to anger and shock, he could only smile bitterly, several people involved in the case are the sons and nephews of senior generals in the army, there are a total of five people involved in the case, the first offender is named Sui Fang, is the nephew of Sui Crouching Tiger, and is currently the deputy of the reconnaissance team of the Flying Tiger Battalion, and among the four co-offenders is Li Tong's youngest son Li Hai,
The day after the Jin Ling case, Sui Crouching Tiger detained Sui Fang and other five people and handed them over to the Military Judge Advocate General's Department to discuss the crime, the Military Judge Advocate General's Department has a trial office in Xiao Chang'an, in charge of the garrison military discipline, but the matter is very important, the court did not dare to specialize in its duties, so he told Zhuang Yunqing overnight, Zhuang Yunqing felt that this matter was very tricky, that day he sent his assistant to Xiao Chang'an to see Sui Crouching Hu, and also informed Li Tong of the matter,
In Zhuang Yunqing's view, the difficulty in this matter is that the people on both sides of the case cannot be offended, needless to say on Li Tong's side, Sui Crouching Hu, as the commander of Xiaochang'an, guards the south gate of Fengzhou, and now Wen Shimao's Shence Army is deploying troops, and the 50,000 army is quickly assembled in Yanzhou, Yanfang, and has the intention of going north at any time.
The main general Wen Shimao is a well-known general who can conquer and fight in the world, and before he officially marched, he walked rumors in Xia Sui, Linzhou, Xiaochang'an and other places, claiming to send 100,000 troops to set foot in Fengzhou in one fell swoop and rebel.
A few days ago, it was rumored that Wen Shimao sent Sui Crouching Tiger's old boss and mentor Hu Kong to sneak into Xiao Chang'an to persuade Sui Crouching Tiger to surrender to the imperial court, although it was confirmed that it was just a rumor, but Xiao Chang'an has long been a mountain rain to come and the wind is full of buildings, not long ago, the commander of the inner temple fang made Zhu Qi secretly rushed to Xiao Chang'an, and sat down to arrest the people who walked the rumors and shook the hearts of the army, and arrested no less than 30 people.
Zhuang Yunqing came to the word "drag" in this matter, he was observing the movements of all parties, especially the movements on Qing'er's side, Jin Ling was just an ordinary maid, and her lover was just a deputy of the Breaking Wave Camp in the Xiaochang'an Guard, and he didn't have any deep background, the war was imminent, it was a matter of Yang Hao's life and death, Qing'er was a smart person, she should know the value of Sui Crouching Tiger and Li Tong to Yang Hao at this time,
A maid, what is it, when it should be sacrificed, then it should be sacrificed, as long as Qing'er does not delve into this matter, she can turn this matter into a small matter, and a small matter into nothing, which can not only ensure that some people pass the test, but also win favors, it is also a great achievement in Yang Hao, this is where he Zhuang Yunqing dares to suppress the case and not report it.
After the incident, Qing'er sent someone to the Department of Military Justice to inquire about the matter, Zhuang Yunqing replied that the investigation was not clear, and the case could not be decided.
After Yang Hao figured out the ins and outs of the matter, he asked Zhuang Yunqing: "What is the crime of adultery in military law?" When Zhuang Yunqing heard this, his sweat came down, and he muttered, "Capital crime." ”
"What about the ** woman." Yang Hao asked calmly,
"The first offender shall be put to death, and the accomplice shall be sentenced to hard labor for twenty years." Zhuang Yunqing wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and a sense of foreboding suddenly rose in his heart,
"So what are you waiting for?" A plain sentence is murderous,
"My lord, no......" Zhuang Yunqing said in a trembling voice, "Please focus on the overall situation." ”
"The law is so strict that no one is above it."
Li Tong suddenly cried out with a "whoop", and he "pounced" with a heavy body and knelt straight in front of Yang Hao: "For the sake of following adults for many years, spare the dog's life." "Li Tong was Yang Hao's right-hand man when he started his family, and like Ling Tong, he held up the sky at the beginning of the Xining Army, and it is no exaggeration to say that without Ling Tong and Li Tong, there would be nothing Yang Hao has today.
Yang Hao also knelt down for Li Tong with tears in his eyes, and said categorically: "Yang Hao is really difficult to obey. ”
Li Tong was desperate, old tears flowed down like a spring, Ling Tong held him in his arms, so he comforted, but Li Tong couldn't melt the resentment in his heart, he took off his sword and held it above his head with both hands: "Forgive Li Tong for not being able to serve the general anymore." ”
Yang Hao didn't expect Li Tong to have such a big response, in terms of personal feelings, it was not his intention to come to this point, but from the perspective of justice, Li Tong's approach made him very disgusted, and he already had the intention of replacing Li Tong in his heart, so he got off the donkey and didn't interfere much.
Li Tong rose up with hatred, threw off his stride and left the inner study, Ling Tong and Zhuang Yunqing saw this situation and didn't want to persuade anything,
Three days later, Sui Fang was beheaded in the school military field of Xiaochang'an, Li Hai and other four people were scaned for twenty years, shaved off half of their hair, shackled their hands and feet, and then were escorted to the construction site in the south of Xiaochang'an, where a new fortress is being built, the designer of the fortress is Gruss of the Kulubo family, the design of this fortress is called Nanfeng Fort, located in the southeast of Xiaochang'an, guarding the two traffic arteries in and out of Xiaochang'an,
Judging from various signs, Qiu Shiliang has been determined to send troops to the north and set foot in Fengzhou, now the four seas are calm, it is the time to use troops, the Shence Army takes Chang'an and Luoyang as the core, and garrisons about 200,000 people in the heart of the Tang Dynasty such as Guanzhong and Heluo, as a tool for the Tang Central Committee to control the Quartet and the eunuch party to maintain power, the resources that the Shence Army can obtain are unimaginable for the border army, but the favorable treatment cannot save the trend of the Shence Army becoming more and more decaying.
Yang Hao's relationship with the Shence Army can be traced back to after the Daming Palace Change, that is, he was the captain of the Shence Army, Qiu Shiliang and Wu Chen borrowed his hand to arrest Han Yue and other masterminds of the manna change, the Shence Army is always a black and negative word in Yang Hao's heart, at the beginning of the year in Suizhou, he and Wen Shimao's nephew Wen Lan also had a deal, known as the Yong Champion of the Three Armies, the general of the Shence Army Wen Lan was defeated in his own hands without walking on a one,
This gave Yang Hao a certain advantage in psychology over the Shence Army, when facing the enemy, a confidence in victory is often the key to success or failure, but whenever he thinks of the almost perfect siege and annihilation battle commanded by Wen Shimao in Zhenzhu Town, the outskirts of Chang'an, Yang Hao's heart has an indescribable sense of depression, that time ended with the complete defeat of the Thorn Horse Battalion, and the entire elite army that survived after the Manna Change was wiped out, as for his own survival until now, this is simply a miracle,
Wen Shimao, what kind of person is he, can he pass this hurdle himself?
Yang Hao has been thinking about this question for several days, and every time he will end up worrying, Yang Hao's nerves are extremely fragile by Wen Shimao's three words, and finally every time he hears these three words, he will have a splitting headache, and when the situation is the most serious, he will even hit his head against the wall to alleviate the mental torment with the pain on the **,
Wen Shimao, I'm going to fight with you, either you die or I die,
Yang Hao calculated, he has less than 10,000 troops on hand that can be used for southern operations, and in the face of the Shence army, which claims to be 100,000 and actually has 50,000, he is at an absolute disadvantage, Wen Shimao has both offense and defense, and is better at field warfare, in his forty years of military career, a total of 47 large and small cities have been attacked, Yang Hao is Hu Potian, who is the humerus, compared with him, he is ashamed to say: "I am not worthy of carrying shoes for Gong Wen." ”
Hu Potian's honesty and Yang Hao was embarrassed, in front of such a person, the impregnable Xiao Chang'an also became like a tofu city, vulnerable, Yang Hao made a bold decision, before the official showdown with Qiu Shiliang, he created a series of frictions in the northwest, that is, in the north of Daqing Mountain at the junction with the Khitans, the friction was provoked by the five barbarian black departments, Yang Hao borrowed reinforcements to the allies, and successively transferred the Fengya battalion stationed in Shuofang and the broken battalion and the broken wave battalion stationed in Hedong to the territory of the Tiande Army.
The hard-won Shuofang Chonggang Town and several cities in Hedong were abandoned, and there was only one leopard camp left in Hedong, which vacated the blank and was quickly filled in by Dong Bacheng and Liu Wei, among which Liu Wei's power developed the most rapidly, and even took Shizhou City as his own, Yang Hao's practice of surviving with a broken arm made the Tao Liu, shrewd and spicy Wen Shimao have an illusion: Fengzhou has fallen into trouble, and sending troops at this time is the best choice,
At this moment, according to Wen Shimao's original plan to send troops at the end of August, there is still more than a month, in other words, Wen Shimao is in a hurry to send troops without full preparation, which is extremely unusual for Wen Shimao, a veteran who has always been known for his stability, for most of his life, the enemy came in a hurry is exactly what Yang Hao needs, he personally rushed to Xiaochang'an, and competed with this old general he feared the most,
The winner is king, the loser is coar,
Yang Hao is ready to make this luxurious gamble, and what needs to be patiently waiting for the opponent to take a seat quickly,
