Chapter 215: Accidents

He Yilong and He Jin desperately escaped, they wanted to save their lives, and when they fell into a desperate situation, they actually burst out with extraordinary courage, but it was a pity that their courage was used in the place where they escaped.

The speed of the pursuit army was as fast, the stragglers were quickly killed, the war horses followed the team of men and horses to gallop forward, whether it was the surrendered rogues or the stragglers, they were all killed, Zheng Xunrui didn't have the heart to deal with the prisoners at this time, he would never let go of He Yilong and He Jin.

Deng Xi, the Sichuan general soldier stationed in Tan County, should be prepared to intercept He Yilong and He Jin, and at that time, the death date of He Yilong and He Jin will come.

Zheng Xunrui had already given Deng Xi an order, asking the Sichuan army to speed up the march, and before the twentieth day of the first month, he must be stationed in Tan County and make a good arrangement, otherwise the military law will be engaged, and he will have the Shang Fang sword in his hand, and he can directly kill Deng Xi.

The speed of He Yilong and He Jin's escape made Zheng Xunrui a little surprised, seeing that they were about to arrive in Tan County, they hadn't caught up yet, but there was no need to worry, the Sichuan army was already in full battle.

I saw the city of Tanxian County, but the outside of the city was empty, there was no arrangement at all, and I didn't see the army.

He Yilong and He Jin, who fled for their lives, rushed along the official road like a gust of wind, and soon passed the city of Tanxian County.

Zheng Xunrui's eyes were on fire.

In the city of Tanxian County, there was smoke coming out, and shouts came out.

Zheng Xunrui suddenly had a bad feeling, and he stopped.

"Yang He, you lead six thousand soldiers to pursue, no matter where He Yilong and He Jin flee, they must be killed, General Liu Bing, you and I will enter the city of Tanxian to take a look, I'm afraid something has happened."

Yang He continued the pursuit with an army of 6,000, and Zheng Xunrui and Liu Zeqing came outside the city gate.

The city gate was closed, and the sergeants guarding above looked vigilantly below.

Liu Zeqing scolded loudly, saying that Master Zheng, the left attendant of the military department, had arrived and opened the city gate quickly.

The magistrate of Tanxian County appeared on the city wall, his face was bloodless, and when he saw Zheng Xunrui and Liu Zeqing and others, he saw the handsome flag erected high, and hurriedly asked the sergeant to open the city gate.

After the city gate opened, Zhixian stumbled in front of Zheng Xunrui and knelt down.

"My lord, the Sichuan soldiers mutinied, and the lower officials had no choice but to close ......the city gate."

"What are you talking about the Sichuan soldiers mutiny, is it a lack of food and grass?"

"No, no, the lower officials don't know what the matter is, it's fine in the morning, and something happened just now."

"Got it, stand up, you are the magistrate of Tan County, what kind of system do you have when you encounter such a panic in things."

Of course, the magistrate knew Zheng Xunrui's fame, and when he saw Zheng Xunrui come to Tan County in person, he was naturally relieved, as for being reprimanded, it was not a big deal.

Zheng Xunrui led all the cavalry and rode into the city, the Sichuan army mutinied, it was not a trivial matter, if these sergeants defected to the Liukou, it was a huge hidden danger, and such a thing must not happen.

The military camp is in the south of the county seat, the city of Tanxian is not big, the Sichuan army mutinied, the street is deserted, no one can be seen, and all the doors are closed.

The noise grew louder and louder, coming from the location of the garrison yamen, from where the smoke was rising.

The sergeant guarding the door had already heard the rumbling hooves of horses, and his body began to tremble when he saw the murderous cavalry appear not far ahead.

"Zheng Xunrui, the left attendant of the Officers and Soldiers Department, what happened in the barracks, you tell me honestly, otherwise the officer will kill you now."

Several sergeants guarding the door fell to their knees.

"My lord, I was wronged, General Deng deducted military salaries, we couldn't eat enough, and Lord Deng also killed the brother who asked for military salaries......"

Zheng Xunrui's face was pale, and he spoke coldly.

"Open the camp gate, and the official wants to see who dares to mutiny."

Several sergeants quickly opened the camp gate and stood aside.

Zheng Xunrui quickly walked towards the barracks, two hundred personal soldiers guarded him tightly in the middle, Liu Zeqing led the sergeant, sped up the speed, and ran to the front of Zheng Xunrui, what was the situation in the barracks, it was not clear, if Zheng Xunrui was in danger at this time, the sky would fall.

In the playground in the middle of the camp, almost all the Sichuan soldiers were here, and several barracks around it had been lit, and thick smoke was coming out of the barracks.

The noisy situation instantly quieted down, and all the Sichuan soldiers looked at the cavalry that came in, and the murderous aura of the cavalry made them feel frightened, and everyone couldn't help but squeeze towards the middle.

"This official Zheng Xunrui, tell Deng Xi to come out and speak."

Deng Xi, who was tied up with five flowers, was escorted out, and after seeing Zheng Xunrui, Deng Xi knelt down.

"My lord, they rebelled, they rebelled......"

There was an unusually silence all around, and all the sergeants looked at Deng Xi's eyes, all of which were hateful, and an officer behind Deng Xi looked at Deng Xi and spoke hatefully.

"My lord, my subordinate general Wang Yuncheng, gathering a crowd to tie up Deng Zongbing has nothing to do with many brothers, it is the idea of his subordinates, the general soldier deducts military salaries and kills sergeants, and the brothers can't bear it."

Zheng Xunrui glanced at Deng Xi coldly and spoke.

"This official's military order orders you to set up an ambush outside the city, why don't you carry it out, delay a major event, at such a critical moment, no matter what your reason is, this official will punish you."

Wang Yuncheng knelt down.

"My lord, my subordinates don't know that there is such a military order."

"Deng Xi, the generals under your command don't know that there is a military order, what are you doing?"

Deng Xi's body trembled, unable to speak, in fact, he had nothing to say.

"Mr. Liu, take a team of people and horses to Deng Xi's room to have a look, and there must be evidence for deducting military salaries."

Zheng Xunrui did not dismount, he kept waiting, and the Sichuan soldiers stood in the middle of the playground and did not move, as for the fire in the barracks, it had already been extinguished.

Half an hour later, Liu Zeqing came out with the sergeant, carrying a few large boxes and some account books.

"My lord, my subordinates have found these things, please take a look at them."

Flipping through the ledger, only a quarter of an hour passed, and everything was understood.

Deng Xi's face was no longer bloodless, and he looked at Zheng Xunrui and kowtowed again and again.

"My lord, my subordinates know that ...... wrong"

"Deng Xi, do you know what your crime is, this official ordered you to garrison Tan County, to stop the Liukou, you did not carry out the military order, the guide zhì Liukou fled, the general under your command, actually did not know this military order, the officer did not know how you explained, you deducted the military salary, the sergeant under the command of the guide zhì was dissatisfied, so that the crowd made trouble, delayed the military aircraft, you were mad, the emperor in order to exterminate the Liukou, in the extremely difficult situation of the imperial court, specially allocated silver taels, to comfort the soldiers participating in the war, you actually dare to be greedy for ink, how do you think this official should deal with you."

Deng Yu had no strength to kowtow, and he collapsed on the ground, saying that adults spared his life.

"In order to exterminate the Liukou, the emperor gave the official Shangfang the sword, which is to punish you for such a cunning and slippery, if the official does not go to Tan County today, the sergeant is forced to mutiny by you, do you know what the consequences are, hundreds of thousands of Liukou are still ravaging in Henan, the emperor is anxious, and he can't go to Henan to exterminate the Liukou, but you swallow the military salary privately, and you don't think about exterminating the Liukou, if the official does not dispose of you, God will not tolerate it."

A personal soldier had already come to Zheng Xunrui's side with Shang Fang's sword in his hand.

"Come on, drag Deng Yu out and behead him."

When Zheng Xunrui said this, Deng Xi's pants were already wet, and a smell of urine came.

Zheng Xunrui looked at Deng Xi who was dragged to the edge of the playground, and shook his head secretly, such a general soldier, what kind of sergeant can be brought out, no wonder the imperial court is always unsatisfactory in exterminating the Liukou, if it is such a general soldier and army, not to mention the extermination of the Liukou, it is God blessing not to be exterminated.

"Wang Yuncheng, as a general, you disobeyed the military order and tied up the officials, you know what kind of crime this is."

"The subordinates are guilty, and the subordinates are willing to accept any punishment."

Wang Yuncheng knelt on the ground, his face was slightly pale, Deng Xi had been killed in public, and the corpse was not far away, it would be false to say that he was not afraid, but the matter had come to this point, and the explanation had no effect.

Zheng Xunrui looked at Wang Yuncheng, according to the rules, Wang Yuncheng should also be killed, after all, the following crimes, no matter what the reason, should be punished, but it is easy to kill Wang Yuncheng, it is not easy to convince the Sichuan soldiers, Wang Yuncheng is for many sergeants, and he is not used to what Deng Xi did, although this kind of behavior should not be encouraged, but it should not be punished, otherwise many sergeants will be scattered.

After being silent for a while, Zheng Xunrui sighed, if it was because of the matter of the commander to exterminate the Liukou, he would not care about these things, deducting military salaries, almost all the Ming army, this is an open secret, even if he thinks about punishment, there is no way, it can only be said that this Deng Yu has done too much, not only to deduct military salaries, but also to take his military orders seriously, the generals under his command do not know, and the plan to encircle and annihilate He Yilong and He Jin failed.

Such a thing must never happen in the future, and being responsible for exterminating the rogues is a joke and cannot succeed at all.

Wang Yuncheng can't be killed, otherwise the Sichuan soldiers will become a huge hidden danger.

"Wang Yuncheng, everything you did was for the sergeant, you didn't plunder the people in the city, and closed the gate of the barracks, this is a good job, the official will not punish you for the time being, but the crime is recorded, in the future, you will atone for the crime, if there is any mistake, the new account and the old account of the official will be counted together."

"The rectification of the Sichuan soldiers, you are temporarily responsible, you must stabilize it in the shortest possible time, Deng Yuke's military salary, this officer will hand it over to you, and issue it to the sergeant, this officer will soon have the next battle plan, you are ready."

After the arrangement was completed, Zheng Xunrui left Tanxian and headed towards Yuzhou, he followed to pursue at this time, losing any meaning.

Back at the camp, Zheng Jinhong immediately reported the amount of money and food seized.

Lu Xiangsheng learned that the Sichuan soldiers almost mutinied, and Zheng Xunrui killed Deng Xi, the Sichuan general soldier who delayed the military plane and deducted military salaries, and couldn't help but sigh, he also knew these things.

In the middle of the night, Yang He returned.

What they brought back were the heads of He Yilong and He Jin, as well as more than 4,000 captured war horses.

Looking at Yang He, who was full of blood, Lu Xiangsheng knew that the cavalry under He Yilong and He Jin had all been killed
