Chapter 832: Take it as a warning
Chapter 832 Take it as a warning
It was a warm spring when it came out of the stopper, and more than two months passed in a flash, and it was already in the middle of summer.
The endless stretch of the prairie and the unobstructed sun sun are undoubtedly a torment for the marching men and horses, but the cavalry that slowly moves forward are the elite of one in a hundred, and veterans of a hundred battles like them are not an unbearable thing for the march.
After a whole day of walking in the morning, I finally saw a forest in the evening. It's not big, it's not wooded, but it's a great place to camp, at least it's secluded. Although the fighting on the prairie has stopped, there are also many more bandits. Although the combat power of these hundreds of elites is amazing, unnecessary troubles can still be avoided.
The team went directly into the forest, and after the Four Tigers arranged the rangers and scouts, they led the people to set up a camp. After entering the forest, Li Xian found that the word "time transit" was really reasonable. He thought he remembered everything on the steppe, big or small.
But he really has no impression of this forest in his memory, the grassland has not changed, it is he who has changed.
What I thought I remembered was actually unrecognizable ten years later. Not only Li Xian, many people think that they will never forget the past. But when I really went through it again, I realized that I didn't remember everything. And after walking through, I will wake up to the fact that I have missed a lot of scenery at the beginning. People love to reminisce, but rarely think that memories have already become blurred inadvertently.
Li Xian helped Daxi Changru get out of the carriage, glanced at the surrounding environment and couldn't help but shake his head: "This forest is too small, there may not be any game." After a while, I will go around with the iron fang, and if we can't hunt anything, we will have to eat dry food tonight. ”
Ye Huaisleeve smiled lightly, pointed in one direction and said, "If that small tribe hadn't migrated, you would have seen a camp ten or twenty miles over there." It was a tribe that was rare on the steppe and didn't like to move casually, and I don't know if it was destroyed by war. If it's still there, you can go buy some sheep and come back. ”
"I don't remember this forest, and I don't remember such a small tribe."
Li Xian frowned slightly and said.
Ye Huaisleeve straightened his long hair that was blown by the wind, and said softly: "Women's memories are always deeper than men's, and at that time, all you thought about in your mind were other things, how could you deliberately remember things that had nothing to do with you?" It's not far from the cottage I built, and I remember it better than you do. ”
Li Xian was silent.
"I'll go."
The iron wolf said: "My lord, you should rest for a while, and it won't take long to go back and forth for twenty or thirty miles." Gallop and come back before the moon rises. ”
Li Xian nodded and said a little careful, and then helped Daxi Changru to find a place to rest. Iron Fang Wolf and Chao Qiuge greeted a dozen soldiers, and took some Shu brocade and tea leaves that had been specially prepared at the beginning and headed in the direction of the small tribe. After a year of war, it is not very likely that the small tribe is still in place.
"There's nothing important in the court that distracts you, right?"
Daxi Changru sat down on a stone, looked at Li Xian and asked.
"Nope."
Li Xian smiled, unplugged the water bag and handed it to Daxi Changru: "But it's all trivial things, nothing important." ”
Zhang Zhongjian sat down next to him, took a sip of wine and said, "Whether there is anything or not, this trip has to be finished before you can go back, right?" You can enjoy the scenery with peace of mind, and An Zhi is not the reckless and reckless child he was back then. He can handle it, otherwise he won't accompany you out for a walk. ”
Daxi Changru smiled: "That's what I said, I know that I am no longer capable of what I am doing, but I am always used to thinking more about it like this, and the older I get, the more greedy I become...... Haha"
"I have nothing but happiness left to sleep now, you should study like me!"
Zhang Zhongjian glanced at him and continued: "An Zhi has a huge thing to say...... There are talented people from generation to generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years. The era that belonged to you and me has passed, and now it is the era that belongs to Anzhi. Or what he said just now, he himself knows the priorities, if he is not sure, how can he run out and ignore the government? ”
Daxi Changru smiled and said: "It's just that in the past few days, I have found that there are more and more excerpts sent by secret spies, especially last night, I was not idle all night, and a total of twelve folds were sent before and after." If something was not urgent, how could the spies be so dense? ”
Zhang Zhongjian was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but look at Li Xian and asked, "What really happened?" ”
Li Xian took the wine bag from Zhang Zhongjian's hand and took a sip, wiped the wine juice from the corner of his mouth, and said in a flat tone: "Two things, one good thing, and one good thing...... But the second good thing is not very pleasant. ”
"First, the cavalry of the Tiele people was blocked on the bank of the Yellow River by Chen Que'er's sailors and Qin Qiong's Qilu battalion. In these days, many steppe people have died of illness, and the morale of the army has collapsed. Some time ago, after a battle, the Tiele people were crushed. Zamuhe's life and death are unknown, and the 200,000 cavalry of the Tiele people no longer pose a threat. ”
"That's a good thing indeed."
Zhang Zhongjian nodded and asked, "Then what is the second good thing that makes people unhappy?" ”
Li Xian was silent for a while and replied: "Before leaving the fortress, I sent Luo Shixin and Pei Xingyan to take 30,000 elite horsemen to march, and declared to the army that the two of them were going to assist Qin Qiong in besieging and killing Zamuhe. But no...... They did not go to Dongping County, but returned to Chang'an. ”
……
……
When there was no Luo Shixin Pei Xingyan in Chang'an City, Du Ruhui didn't worry about anything. Because there is still Cheng Mingzhen in the city, the rebellion without military power is just a joke. Even if there is a so-called Son of Heaven as a gimmick, even if there are a few big families behind it. But this is still a joke, as long as Cheng Mingzhen is not pulled over by those who are ready to rebel, then no matter how torrential the undercurrent in Chang'an City is, he will not be worried and unable to sleep.
And when Luo Shixin and Pei Xingyan's 30,000 elite horsemen suddenly appeared outside Chang'an City, Du Ruhui knew that the time had come to end this farce.
His Royal Highness King Yan did not have any will to send him back in advance, and Luo Shixin and Pei Xingyan had not contacted him before. These 30,000 elite horsemen came back so abruptly, and because of this abruptness, Du Ruhui knew what he should do, and he also knew what His Royal Highness King Yan meant.
So, at the same time that the news of the appearance of 30,000 elite horsemen outside the city reached Du Ruhui's ears, he immediately made a decision.
He immediately left the yamen, got into the carriage, and told the coachman to hurry as fast as he could. After the carriage galloped around half of the palace city, it went directly into the Daming Palace, and then directly entered the North Ya of the Military Inspection Office. Not long after he arrived in Beiya, at least a dozen important ministers of the imperial court also arrived here. There was no discussion between Du Ruhui and them, they all knew the decision made immediately after Jingqi returned to the city.
These courtiers who came, including the imperial envoy Wei Zheng, as well as Fang Xuanling, Tang Jian, Pei Caozhi and other important ministers of the imperial court who returned in vain, and even a few old ministers such as Yu Shinan and Liu Zhenghui who were already at home. Half an hour later, more than half of the officials of the six ministries and nine Qing arrived in Beiya, as if all the ministries in Chang'an City had moved to this big courtyard.
When Du Ruhui saw Liu Zhenghui, he couldn't help but smile: "Why are you here too, boss?" ”
Liu Zhenghui looked at the officials on the left and right, sighed, and then lowered his voice and said, "Although I am old, I am not confused...... Some people have forgotten the day and night when the Military Inspection Office washed Chang'an City a few years ago, but I haven't forgotten it. So I didn't dare to go elsewhere when I had something, but felt that I was safe to come to the military inspection office first. Those who dare to come to this place at this time are at least not ashamed. ”
"Haha!"
Du Ruhui couldn't help laughing: "I thought that only I thought of it this time, it turns out that everyone is smart." Now that we've arrived, let's go in and ask the people from the Military Inspection Department for a cup of tea? ”
Liu Zhenghui said with a smile: "Few people are willing to drink the tea of the Military Inspection Office, and few people dare to drink it. But today is different, this tea is steady. ”
Everyone entered the courtyard, and then directly occupied the living room of the North Ya of the Military Inspectorate.
At this time, Xie Yingdeng and Shengtu Xiaohua were discussing in a small courtyard about two hundred meters away from the living room. This yard is not big, and if you plant a plum tree, it will not be too spacious. Xie Yingdeng sat on the chair at the head, and in front of him were all the stalls in charge of daily affairs of the six departments of the Military Inspectorate. Because there were more people, a few people even stood at the door.
Xie Yingdeng's gaze swept over everyone's faces, and then he raised his hand and pressed it down: "There are few people in the Military Inspection Department who know that I have returned to Chang'an City a long time ago." Most of you don't know it, and the reason why I deliberately hide it from you is that you can understand the meaning of it, don't blame it. ”
"Please command, big stall leader!"
Dozens of people clenched their fists and hung their heads.
Xie Yingdeng snorted, pondered for a while and said, "When Ye Da was in office, the Military Inspection Office did a big thing that shook the world. Most of you were involved in that, and you still remember vividly what happened that day. ”
He paused for a moment and said, "Summoning you here today is also a big matter to do. If in terms of meaning, this matter may be comparable to the incident commanded by Ye Da. ”
The people below were immediately shocked, and they all understood the meaning of Xie Yingdeng's words.
"It's about time."
Xie Yingdeng stood up and slowly swept his gaze over these subordinates: "Our Military Inspectorate has done many things that are beneficial to the imperial court, but in the final analysis, it is still for the lord. Ye Da stall head washed Chang'an City once for the blood of the lord...... Today I will also take you with me and wash it again. ”
……
……
At the city gate, the deputy general looked at the 30,000 elite horsemen waiting outside the city, his face was a little ugly, he walked to Cheng Mingzhen's side and couldn't help but worry: "It's not clear now, what the people outside the city mean." Was it the order of the lord, or was it the collusion of those who conspired against him? ”
Cheng Mingzhen looked at the elite cavalry outside the city and said with a smile: "If it is the soldiers and horses of the rebels, do you think they will line up outside the city?" ”
The lieutenant general was stunned for a moment, and then understood: "They will go straight to the city gate." ”
He thought for a moment and asked, "General, what should we do?" ”
Cheng Mingzhen said with a smile: "Don't do anything, these tens of thousands of elite horses come back to the town scene." We just need to guard the city gates, and no one is allowed to go out. As for other matters, if the military needed to do it, the cavalry outside would have sent someone to me a long time ago. It seems that the lord wants to ...... Let the Military Inspectorate stand up again. ”
Outside the city
Pei Xingyan looked at Luo Shixin and asked seriously, "You really don't need us to enter the city?" ”
Luo Shixin jumped down from his horse and found a clean place to sit on the ground: "If the city gate is not closed, we don't need to enter the city, and if the city gate is closed, we can't enter the city." ”
Pei Xingyan felt that Luo Shixin's words, he didn't understand the first half of the sentence, and the second half of the sentence was nonsense.
"Don't worry, when we appeared outside Chang'an City, I was afraid that the people from the Military Inspection Department would already start moving."
Pei Xingyan thought for a while and asked, "Wouldn't this make the Military Inspectorate stand up again?" ”
Luo Shixin said with a smile: "What the lord wants is for the Military Inspectorate to do something that everyone is afraid of again, only in this way will people remember what the Military Inspectorate does." Only in this way, as long as the Military Inspectorate exists for a day, those who have ghosts in their hearts will tremble with fear. One bloodbath may be quickly forgotten, but two bloodbaths ...... Who would dare to forget the existence of the Military Inspectorate? ”
"The lord asked the Military Inspectorate to open a killing spree for the second time, not to scare the current people, but to deter the future people...... Do you understand? ”
Pei Xing seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and shook his head impatiently: "Whatever, it's good to kill it all!" ”
Luo Shixin sighed helplessly, and was also a little envious of Pei Xingyan's heartless temperament.
He looked at the city tower and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "After today, when people mention the Military Inspectorate again, they will definitely think of the bloodstains that filled the city twice before and after, and the lord did this...... It means a lot. Take this as a warning...... Learn a lesson from. ”
