Chapter 340 In Time of Danger (7)
Today's Thorn Mansion is very different.
From the moment he stepped into the gate of the Assassin's Mansion, Geng Anguo felt it clearly.
At first, he thought that it was just because the Thorn History Mansion had become, the general manager of the camp north of Bianliang, the marshal mansion of Zhao Ning, the general of Zhenwu, and the big tent of the Chinese army.
But when entering the court, Geng Anguo found that things were not simple.
Dozens of middle and high-level officials in the Assassin's Mansion were all in the public hall at this moment, but they were standing on both sides, vacating the main space of the public hall, and they were all bowing with their hands tied and their heads bowed.
At a glance, Geng Anguo saw that many of these officials, who did not pretend to him on weekdays, even if they took bribes from him, and who were high up in the eyes of no one, actually had a blue nose and swollen face and wounds on their bodies.
It was as if he had been beaten and tortured.
This shocked Geng Anguo.
Who would dare to treat these big people in the Assassin's Mansion like this?
Of course, there can only be one answer: the Yunzhou coach who is in the Ming Hall at the moment!
Why did the manager do this to them?
Geng Anguo pondered.
Suddenly, he was blessed to the soul, and he remembered the scene that broke out in Yunzhou City before the military report from Xihe City came back, targeting the cultivators of the official mission of the Assassin Mansion.
Could it be that the one who shot at the Assassin Mansion before was the Zhao Clan Coach in front of him? Thinking of this, Geng Anguo was stunned and looked at the boss in disbelief.
He still has a lot of joints that he doesn't understand.
But he understood at least one thing.
This is from the Zhao family, the first general of the Great Qi Dynasty, who is young but has a high level of cultivation, and can be called a good achievement in the contemporary Great Qi army, and as soon as he arrived in Yunzhou, he used extremely strong means to deal with the commander of many officials in the Assassin Mansion, and Li Ru and his subordinate officials are by no means all the way!
That means the arrival of the current manager is likely to create a different situation.
Including Geng Anguo and Liangshan Battalion, the situation of many rebels may be changed!
In this way, Geng Anguo couldn't help but be secretly excited, and his eyes were full of urgency when he looked at the coach.
After the three-way drum was finished, Zhao Ning glanced around the hall and saw that the generals who should have arrived had arrived, so he nodded quietly. On the desk in his hand, there was a list of the main generals of the Yunzhou garrison in the Assassin's Mansion.
"The military situation is like fire, Ben will make a long story short. ”
As soon as Zhao Ningwu spoke, the public court, which was already audible of needle drops, suddenly couldn't even hear the sound of wheezing, whether it was the generals in the middle or the civil officials on both sides, they all held their breath and waited for the following.
Zhao Ning continued: "Xihe City has been broken, more than 40,000 Beihu vanguard troops have all crossed the river and landed, and now He Ping's troops are either killed or injured or routed, and the defense line of the Yunzhou Theater has been torn open by the Beihu army.
"There are two urgent tasks at the moment, one is to rescue He Ping's defeated troops, all of them are elite, if all 60,000 soldiers are destroyed, the Yunzhou Theater will definitely have insufficient troops; the second is to plug the loopholes in the defense line of the Yunzhou Theater, which will be torn up and filled, otherwise once the Beihu army comes to the city and besieges Yunzhou, you and I will be killed.
"The general has decided to immediately dispatch 40,000 elite cavalry, as the first batch of combat force, to rush to the front line of Xihe City overnight, and take advantage of the unstable foothold of the Beihu vanguard army to give it a head-on attack. ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Ning paused.
The eagle-like gaze looked around the scene, taking in the looks of all the generals in his eyes, seeing that no one dared to refute his words a little, and he didn't even dare to have questioning eyes, Zhao Ning continued:
"Ben will know your concerns, what kind of treatment the rebel army was in Yunzhou before, Ben will also know very well, now, before leaving the army, Ben will give you an explanation. ”
As he spoke, Zhao Ning waved his hand, "Bring people up!"
As soon as the words fell, the movement outside the gate of the public hall attracted the attention of all the generals and civil officials.
Two people were brought to the court, it was Li Ru, the assassin of Yunzhou, who was tied up by five flowers, and Chen Jinghe, the former director of Cangcao.
Li Ru still has an official robe on his body, and his appearance doesn't look like much, but his expression is sluggish, but it is Chen Jinghe, because he has been tortured by Zhao Ning's people before, and now he is covered with bruises, his robe is covered with blood, and the whole person is very embarrassed.
Seeing that in front of him before, Li Ru, who was arrogant and indifferent like a heavenly immortal, did not give Liangshan Ying a spring coat and robes, and drove away Chen Jinghe, who beat his brother, now looks like a mournful and miserable person, Geng Anguo has an indescribable joy in his heart.
He only felt that he had been holding his breath for several months, and the evil breath that was so thick that he wanted to vomit every night finally vomited most of it freely.
The other generals of the rebel army, seeing Li Ru and Chen Jinghe's appearance, also showed happy looks.
There are a few generals of the Wang Division, who have no special expressions - their different identities are not short of anything by Li Ru - but they are also afraid to dare to take down Li Ru and torture Chen Jinghe into such a coach Zhao Ning.
In front of a full house of civil officials and military generals, Zhao Ning said coldly:
"Li Ru, the assassin of Yunzhou, as a local military and political official, could not gather local civil and material resources for the national war, but instead instructed his subordinates to frame the Yun family, who had contributed a lot to the country, and tried in vain to attack the righteous people in the rivers and lakes, and set off an internal scuffle when the enemy was coming, the crime was unforgivable, and he would be escorted back to Bianliang tomorrow for trial.
But before Li Ru left, he was going to leave something behind to appease the anger of the people in Yunzhou. ”
As he spoke, without waiting for a premonition, Li Ru, whose face changed greatly, opened his mouth to beg for mercy, and Zhao Ning waved his hand lightly.
Suddenly, Li Ru let out a scream like killing a pig, and his entire right arm flew out shoulder to shoulder, and the broken mouth was bleeding like mist!
Including Geng Anguo, none of the officials in the hall expected Zhao Ning to do this, and they were all surprised for a while.
Geng Anguo and other generals of the righteous army were naturally very happy, while those officers and generals were shocked.
Obviously, what Zhao Ning wanted Li Ru to leave was this arm.
This is not the end, Zhao Ning looked at Chen Jinghe again: "The rebel army of all departments has arrived in Yunzhou one after another, in order to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country and resist the foreign invaders, and you, as the head of Cangcao, first lacked the grain and straw of the righteous army, and then did not give the righteous army spring clothes, guarding the gold and silver mountains donated by the people of Yunzhou, but you only want to fill your own pockets, and you have no thoughts of home and country in your heart."
"Even if I could have spared you, hundreds of thousands of soldiers who have died in the border passes, Yanping, and Hebei in the past few months, and today on the north bank of the Yellow River, His Royal Highness King Lu, who is willing to pay for his life for the sake of military intelligence, will not be able to bypass you!
The two Yuan Shen Realm cultivators immediately escorted him away.
"General Zhao, spare your life, spare your life! The lower official is wrong, give the lower official another chance, General Zhao ......" Outside the gate of the public hall, with the sound of a long knife cutting off his head, Chen Jinghe's miserable begging for mercy came to an abrupt end.
Then his head was put in a tray by a Yuan Shen Realm cultivator and put into the public hall and handed over to Zhao Ning for inspection.
The officials and generals looked at Chen Jinghe's eyes widening, and his stiff face was still frightened, and they couldn't help but hold their breath for a while.
Geng Anguo wanted to hit the festival hard and shouted with pleasure, but he didn't dare to speak casually, and his face was red with excitement.
The other rebel generals were similar.
And the look of horror and fear on the faces of those officers and generals was even stronger.
When Chen Jinghe's head was taken out by the cultivators, and according to Zhao Ning's instructions, he and Li Ru's arm were circulated in the army together, Zhao Ning waved his hand again, but this time no one suffered, but a large box was moved to the front of the public hall.
Under Zhao Ning's order, the box was opened, revealing a dazzling white silver!
Looking at these official banks, Geng Anguo and others didn't know why.
Zhao Ning said: "This general governs the army, the military law is strict, meritorious service must be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes must be punished, and those who hinder the overall situation of the national war, the fate of Li Ru and Chen Jinghe is a lesson from the past.
"From today onwards, until the end of the national war, there is only one rule in Yunzhou, that is, the military law of the 17 forbidden laws and 54 beheadings!
"But at the moment, the military situation is urgent, and I don't have time to go to the warehouse with you to count the number of grain and spring clothes, so I will fill it with silver today. Rebel generals, together with the general's men, will escort the silver back to their respective camps later!"
After saying this, Zhao Ning stood up straight, his eyes sharp: "There are more than 100,000 garrisons in Yunzhou, and there are only more than 40,000 elite cavalry in total.
"Now, each of you will go back to the camp, gather manpower, each soldier, only need to bring two days of military rations, no baggage, an hour later, this will be outside the west city gate and you and the others, those who are not overdue, beheaded!
"In addition to the cavalry, all infantry troops also need to prepare for battle overnight, whether to dispatch tomorrow, how to dispatch, wait for the general's order!"
The generals got up one after another, and the hall was suddenly filled with the sound of iron armor, and then there was the voice of the angry bullfight: "The last general takes the order!"
Geng Anguo and other generals of the rebel army were excited because Zhao Ning dealt with Li Ru and Chen Jinghe and delegated military salaries, and they all realized that under Zhao Ning's command, they would no longer suffer the humiliation they had before, but because of their high morale.
The generals of the official army were greatly deterred by Zhao Ning's handling of Li Ru and Chen Jinghe, and they did not dare to slack off at this moment, for fear of being dealt with by Zhao Ning's military law, and they all showed their fullest state.
......
After the generals dispersed, Zhao Ning left the main seat and came to the gate of the public hall, looking forward.
The civil officials of the Assassin's Mansion who did not leave followed him step by step, and did not dare to make any movement without an order, nor did they dare to leave without permission.
"In the Assassin's Mansion, in addition to Li Ru and Chen Jinghe, who else should be punished, who should be dismissed, and who can continue to stay in office, Ben will go on an expedition soon, and he has no time to pay attention to it for the time being. ”
Zhao Ning turned his back to the civil officials, and his voice was light: "But I won't have time to pay attention to it, it doesn't mean that no one will pay attention to it." ”
After Zhao Ning said this, a group of people hurriedly entered the Assassin's Mansion and came to the outside of the public hall.
It is a group of civil officials who are in the dust.
The leader was dressed in a scarlet robe, in his thirties, his eyebrows were full of righteousness, and when he saw Zhao Ning, he hurriedly bowed his hand: "I've seen General Zhao, your feet are too fast, we can't catch up, I hope there is no mistake." ”
"Master Di, the Yunzhou Thorn History Mansion will be handed over to you for the time being. Zhao Ning just bowed slightly.
The person in front of him, named Di Cambodia, is now the official who worships the battalion commander in the north of Bianliang, and he is the official who specially asked the emperor to come to Yunzhou to help him deal with civil affairs and logistics.
There are two poor officials in the center of the imperial court, because of their outstanding talents, outstanding political achievements, and very upright character, they are honest officials, and they are known as Yanping Shuangjie, and are highly praised by the people of Yanping.
Now that Yanping has fallen, these two people are still there.
These two people are Di Cambodia and Zhang Renjie.
