There was a sound of horses' hooves outside the barracks, and the soldiers came to the camp to report: "Governor Zhao is here." Du Xian turned his head to look, only to see the dust rising from the gate, and a dozen or so riders ran straight over from the dust and smoke. Everyone else was wearing gray-black iron armor, but only the one in the middle was wearing a red official robe, and it must be the governor Zhao Qu.

When the team of people and horses came to the front, Zhao Qu and the others turned over and jumped off the horses and came up to meet them. I saw that Zhao Qu had a square face, his eyes were like three vertical lines between his eyebrows, and he seemed to be a relatively strict person. As soon as he said something like "there is a loss of welcome", Du Xian suddenly shouted: "Zhao Qu, are you guilty?" ”

Zhao Qu was taken aback and said, "What am I guilty of?" ”

"This official was ordered by the Holy Order, and after the imperial history inspected Zhao Qu, the governor of Youzhou, there were traces of rebellion, and he took it back to Beijing for interrogation." Du Xian Zhengse said, "Come on, take down this person!" ”

Zhao Qu hurriedly said: "I am a Beijing official, how can you say that you can take it without real evidence?" ”

"You're still going to resist the decree?!" Du Xian snorted violently. Immediately, several fierce generals around him pounced on Zhao Qu, who was as strong as a hill and moved like a rabbit, and it was Yang Meng, who was the godson of Yang Siqiao, a favored eunuch in the court, who was placed next to Du Xian to make meritorious contributions.

Thousands of officers and soldiers in the battalion tore their faces when they saw them, most of them were stunned and didn't dare to move at will, one was the top boss and the other was a feudal official from Beijing, who could you help? Standing and watching the play is naturally the best.

But several of Zhao Qu's henchmen around him are different, they usually only look at Zhao Qu's horse, and when they saw that others were coming to arrest people, they came up to stop them. Yang Meng didn't say a word, he flew up at a general who pounced from the flank, and with a "bang", the iron shoe hit the person's state of mind, and the man fell to the ground with a scream, squirting out a mouthful of filth. Yang Meng immediately became short, and even carried the fat man in front of him to his shoulders, and shouted: "Go!" He threw the fat man with five big and three thick on his shoulders alive, and with a bang, the man fell to the ground and screamed that he couldn't get up again.

In the blink of an eye, Yang Meng alone put down the two generals, and the people around him were a little cringe. At this time, Du Xian was furious and said: "Dare to resist the decree by force, and those who block it will be killed!" ”

"Boom ......" Du Xian's people all pulled out their weapons, and the dry fight was about to develop into a bloody conflict in an instant. Du Xian pointed at Zhao Qu and said: "If there are casualties, your family in Jingshi will die without a place to be buried, and the Nine Clans may not be protected!" ”

"Wait!" Zhao Qu suddenly stopped his subordinates and strode forward, "I was wronged, I will take it if I want to." Yang Meng and the others were not polite, they rushed forward and caught him, and then they tied Zhao Qu's upper body to the ground, and his arms couldn't move at all.

Du Xian is wide, fat, and white, and he is really straightforward and decisive in doing things, and he is not elegant at all at this time. When he saw that the governor had been taken down, he said in a loud voice: "You are eating the emperor's grain, and you are all your majesty's people, and you have no right to control anyone who is disloyal to your majesty." I am now ordered to take charge of the seal of the Grand Governor of the Hebei Provincial March, and from this day on, you will all obey the orders of the Commander-in-Charge of the Military Government, and those who violate the order will be executed by military law! ”

Seeing this, all the troops responded, and Du Xian left a few generals to maintain the situation in the barracks, and then ordered someone to tie Zhao Dudu to the back of a horse and take the others out of the barracks with a swagger.

The group returned to the camp of the Mingguang Army, and Du Xian ordered the camp to enter Youzhou tomorrow, and temporarily stationed in the same place today. When the generals saw that the governor of Youzhou had been captured, they all went to the Chinese army to congratulate him, praising Du Xian for taking the opportunity to make a thunderous move, and he had the courage to enter the Youzhou barracks with a hundred horses to capture the governor. Du Xian disagreed: "The soldiers have followed the present expedition and received the military salary issued by the imperial court, so it is basically impossible for them to turn against the imperial court. If Zhao Qu doesn't come to the barracks today, he retreats in Youzhou City to transfer local troops to the city, but I can't risk entering the city alone. ”

Du Xian said that he asked someone to escort Zhao Qu to the Chinese military tent for interrogation, but Zhao Qu was obviously not convinced, his arms were tied and he hit his guard with his shoulder. When he saw Du Xian, he said angrily: "What you are doing is really chilling, Zhao has been guarding Youzhou for several years, there is no merit and hard work, you can't even get a little evidence and use trumped-up charges to tie up, this is really the emperor's will?" ”

"We came from Chang'an, can we still pretend to convey the holy will in front of the generals?" Du Xian sneered.

Zhao Du said: "What will you do to me? ”

Du Xian said: "If you confess the truth of the rebellion now, I can write in the morning." If you refuse to admit your guilt, you can only be escorted back to Chang'an for interrogation......" Du Xian remembered that he mentioned Zhao Dudu's family when he was in the barracks, and he immediately gave up resistance, pondered in his heart, and said, "If you are escorted back to Chang'an for questioning, you can't stand up for a strong defense, and I'm afraid that it will affect your family at that time." ”

"I'm not guilty, what do you want me to confess?" Zhao Dudu insisted on a mouthful. Du Xian patted the book case and said: "If you don't recognize him, you will take a good look at him, and send him back to Beijing in a prisoner car another day." Zhao Dudu said angrily: "Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated!" ”

Du Xian got up from his seat and walked in front of him, suddenly drew his sword, cut the rope, and handed the sword over. Seeing this, the general hurriedly persuaded Du Xian to stop everyone and said to Zhao Dudu: "I respect you as a man, and you have not transferred troops to the civil war, now I will give you a chance." If you feel that you can't bear the humiliation of being interrogated, this sword is the sword worn by His Majesty, and you use it to cut yourself off to thank the emperor! ”

Zhao Dudu frowned and was stunned, then reached out to take the sword, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes in the tent looked at him, and they were silent for a while. Du Xian said: "One year, the assassin was shocked in the Huaqing Palace, and the general of the Yulin Army on duty apologized for his crime with death, so he was exempted from responsibility, and his wife and children even received a pension. If you show your repentance with death, I believe that the court will not be too harsh. ”

Zhao Dudu slowly turned the sword to his chest, stared at him and said, "I didn't rebel", and then pressed the hilt of the sword suddenly, and the blade of the sword pierced into his chest in response, only to hear a plop, he fell to the ground on his knees softly, and blood gradually flowed out from under his body, and soon there was a pool of blood in the tent.

"Carry it down and transport the bones back to Chang'an." Du Xian drew his bloody sword and commanded calmly.

In the afternoon, the chief Shi Wang Xianzhi asked to see him outside the gate, and Du Xian looked back left and right and said: "Another person with a weak heart was also sent to the door." Fan Shuhu, the general of the Mingguang Military Department, said with a smile: "It is said that this Youzhou is going to rebel, and the general manager has just arrived for a day, and it will be peaceful without much effort." ”

After a while, I saw an official who was whiter and fatter than Du Xian was brought into the account by the sergeant, and he reported that his home was none other than Youzhou Governor Shi Wang Xianzhi, Wang Xianzhi looked very kind, with a face as round as a melon, amiable and often smiling. He arched at Du Xian on the main seat on the north side, and there was a pool of blood at the place where he was standing at his feet, but it had been washed with blood, and he couldn't see the faint blood stains there if he didn't look down and pay attention.

"This is the respect of the officials and people of Youzhou City for Manager Du, please take a look." Wang Xianzhi took out a post from his arms. The sergeant took it and passed it to Du Xian at the behest of Du Xian, who opened it and saw at a glance that this thing did not mean anything else, it was just a gift list, which listed the entries of various valuables.

Du Xian said: "Zhao Dudu was arrested in the morning, and he has already convicted himself of apologizing. Wang Changshi: This is ...... Want to bribe the officer? ”

"Zhao Dudu has already ......" Wang Xianzhi's smiling face had become very ugly, his face turned pale, and he hurriedly said, "How dare you dare, how can it be considered a bribe?" It's just a little heart, please ask Manager Du and the soldiers and brothers to laugh. ”

"Where's the thing? Bring it in and take a look. Du Xian said quietly.

Wang Xianzhi had no choice but to ask someone to carry things to the barracks and the Chinese army came, he already felt a little bad at this time, but there was no other way, so he had to stand there with his hands down. After the box was carried into the big tent, Du Xian immediately asked someone to open it in public, and Wang Xianzhi couldn't stop it.

As soon as the box was opened, I saw that it was full of gold, jade, and jewelry, and the dazzling array of colorful treasures made the monotonous and simple military tent suddenly add a little more color. All the generals stared at the box, without exception. And Wang Xianzhi's forehead was already covered with beads of sweat.

Du Xian quietly walked to the side of the box, reached out and picked up a piece of jade from the colorful things, and admired the light at the door with great interest. Wang Xianzhiqiang said with a smile: "This is the best Lantian nephrite, gentle and pure like a gentleman, just worthy of a gentleman like Mr. Du." ”

Du Xian nodded while listening, "It's a good jade", but after reading it, he still threw it into the box, and the review general said: "What are you staring at, we dare to take these things?" Take a look at Wang Changshi of Youzhou, who has been doing a long history for a few years, and he can scrape so many things! It's okay, this is a windfall, Du didn't dare to let the brothers take it like this, but set a rule and wait on the battlefield to reward these things according to merit and killing, as long as we win the battle, the court will not pursue us. ”

When the generals heard this, they immediately rejoiced, and some people said: "This method is good, and it is also safe to kill the enemy and receive the reward, if you divide it like this, you are afraid of being investigated." Everyone laughed when they heard this.

It's just a pity that Wang Xianzhi originally wanted to please Du Xian alone, but now it's good, Du Xian seems to want to collect money without giving face...... The kind smile on Wang Xian's face is still half a point, and it becomes more ugly than crying.

Du Xian patted the box and said: "Pass the order, kill the captured Khitan leader Li Shenhuo and Xi King Li Dayu and reward any twenty treasures in this box, and report to the imperial court for another reward; Those who seize the enemy's flag on the city of Yingzhou and those who break the enemy in the battle array and make meritorious contributions will be rewarded with ten treasures. The rest of the beheaders will be rewarded with coins after selling the treasure. ”

"Order!"

Du Xian looked at Wang Xianzhi again: "Wang Changshi, where did this money come from and what do you plan to use it for?" After you go to Chang'an, you not only have to explain the truth of the rebellion, but you also have to explain the money clearly. ”G
