CHAPTER XXVII
Zhao Yun stared and didn't speak, but his heart became heavier and heavier.
Xu Xuan said slowly: "At the beginning of the march, the troops he led seemed to be left behind, intentionally or unintentionally, and I thought that he was at odds with General Xiaguan Ling, so I didn't take it to heart. But when the lower officials wanted to change the route, he deliberately rushed up and reacted very violently. Xia Guan didn't pay much attention to it. But then, during the march, he used many excuses to delay the march. After the incident, under the heavy casualties of all the troops, the subordinate was surprised to find that among the soldiers left, most of them were Zhu Yi's cronies, and most of them were wounded outside the skin. ”
Zhao Yun's eyes slowly became hideous, but in general, he still said calmly: "Then what can you do?" ”
Xu Xuan let out a sigh, at this moment, he knew that Zhao Yun still believed in himself. Xu Xuan wasn't afraid that he would hang his head or anything, what he was worried about was Zhu Yi's behavior, and for the sake of personal grievances, he took the surnames of nearly 10,000 soldiers to accompany the funeral. How can such a narrow-minded mentality, this kind of thinking that does not take the overall situation into account, lead the army to victory?
Xu Xuan thought for a while and said decisively: "There is a way for the general to catch the real culprit, but the subordinate is worried that the consequences will be very terrible." ”
A cold light flashed in Zhao Yun's eyes, his handsome face was murderous, and he shouted in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense, say it." ”
Xu Xuan looked at Zhao Yun and said with a very serious expression: "General, it's better to think clearly." The Zhu family has a lot of influence in Jiangdong, and Zhu Huan is also in the army, so I am afraid that it will not be easy to explain. ”
Zhao Yun didn't have a trace of expression on his face, and said coldly: "Explain? So how did Zhao Yun treat the main bus and explain to his dead brother? For the sake of the Lord's cause, they were separated from their families, slept in the open air, fought on the battlefield, and shed blood and tears. Aren't they human? Besides, military law is like a mountain, and whoever dares to break the law with his own body will not be forgiven. And have you forgotten what the Lord always says to us? The Son of Heaven broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. What's more, a small Zhonglang general dares to do such a heinous thing, even if the lord comes, I am afraid that the ending will be the same. If it was really Zhu Yi's doing, he would be dead this time. In the end, Zhao Yun had clenched his fists tightly, his eyes widened angrily, and he looked like he was going to eat people.
Xu Xuan looked at Zhao Yun with some surprise, Zhao Yun usually didn't talk much, and his surname was a little indifferent and arrogant, giving people a little difficult to approach. But from what he just said, we can see that he has a deep affection for soldiers, a kind of jealousy and hatred, cold on the outside and hot on the inside. Xu Xuan's eyes were full of respect and said: "The Zhu family is very powerful, if this is the case, it will be difficult for the general everywhere in the future......
Zhao Yun waved his hand, interrupted him impatiently, pulled out his sword, and said coldly: "Since you don't want to say it, Zhao Yun will go directly to him." After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave.
Seeing Zhao Yun like this, Xu Xuan completely ignored his future career, and secretly shouted in his heart, good man, very admired. But then he thought about the relationship between Zhao Yun and Zhang Lang, not to mention that his sister was almost Mrs. Zhang, and with Zhang Lang's trust in Zhao Yun, he almost gave him all the power of life and death, and he was relieved. Seeing that Zhao Yun was about to walk out of the camp, he hurriedly spoke: "The general can pretend to let the soldiers escort Ling Ying back to Moling for treatment, if Zhu Yi really has a problem, he will definitely not let go of this opportunity." ”
Zhao Yun's body was stunned, and he quickly disappeared at the door.
After Xu Xuan watched Zhao Yun leave, he naturally exhaled, and then he felt that his spirit was a little prostration, and he was very tired. I didn't expect Zhao Yun to put so much pressure on himself when he was angry, Xu Xuan was surprised and thought, although he was injured, but Zhao Yun's expression just now, like eating people, was really a bit like Zhang Lang. Thinking about it, Xu Xuan smiled heartily, and it was really the lord's right-hand man. He sighed, closed his eyes, and began to recuperate.
Second, Zhao Yun decided to postpone the pace of marching into Meizhou, let the soldiers recuperate first, and send the soldiers to send Ling Ying back to recuperate. and secretly sent a school of men to secretly protect Ling Ying.
A few days later, the army escorting Ling Ying back suddenly turned back.
Zhao Yun knew that the matter was already in sight, and called the officer who led the team to ask, it turned out that when he was on the road, Ling Ying and his troops were really attacked by thieves, fortunately, they had been prepared at night, killed more than ten on the spot, ran some, and only caught two alive. He was tortured afterwards, but he didn't ask for anything of value.
Zhao Yun glanced at Xu Xuan, who was originally recuperating on the seat, and didn't seem to mean to make a sound, Zhao Yun asked patiently, "Do you know who they are?" ”
The officer said: "General Hui, these people are bandits on the nearby Qi Mountain, as for why they attacked General Ling's troops, they only talked about robbing money, and they had no other motives. ”
Zhao Yun's eyes narrowed into a slit, and the smile on his face was very natural: "Is it a robbery?" Have you found out Qishan's den of thieves? ”
The officer said respectfully: "General, my subordinates have already checked, there are about five hundred bandits on this Qi Mountain, and the leader is a guy named Zuo Rong. In the past two days, some of their minions have died, but they did not mention the cause of death, but they thought that they attacked General Ling. ”
Zhao Yun's face suddenly turned cold, and his heart was much heavier, it seemed that this Zhu Yi was not ordinary cunning, knowing that his soldiers were not easy to do, so he encouraged this group of outlaws, even if something happened at that time, he could push it all away. Thinking of this, Zhao Yun glanced at Zhu Yi.
Zhu Yi didn't have any expression on his face, and he couldn't see any panic, but his small eyes occasionally flashed, and he didn't know what to think.
At this time, Xu Xuan, who had been sitting on the chair with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his wise eyes and said lightly: "This bandit is so bold that he doesn't even pay attention to the officers and soldiers, let alone ordinary people who want to poison them." General, I'm afraid that if this thief is not removed, the reputation of our army will be greatly affected. ”
Zhao Yun's eyes rolled, his face shook, and he shouted angrily: "Zhu Huan." ”
Zhu Huan was overjoyed, and immediately went out of the ranks, and said in a voice like Hong Zhong: "Not yet." ”
Zhao Yun waved the command flag in his hand and shouted: "You lead three thousand men and horses, and immediately encircle and suppress the bandits for me." I want to see how holy they can be, since they are so arrogant. ”
Zhu Huan shouted the order, and left with high spirits.
Zhao Yun glanced at Xu Xuan, and saw that he closed his eyes again, as if he was recuperating, Zhao Yun paid attention to it and ordered: "In this case, our army will recuperate for a few more days, and the matter of marching will be discussed separately." ”
There was no controversy among the generals and obeyed Zhao Yun's orders.
Just as everyone was about to leave, Zhao Yun suddenly issued an order: "In the past few days, all the guards have been strengthened, and everyone is not allowed to leave the barracks without my personal advice. The last word "chop" is sonorous and powerful, and no one feels a chill in their hearts.
Zhu Yi's body shook slightly, and the light in his eyes flashed, and it disappeared immediately.
The generals look at me, I look at you, I don't dare to come out for a while, looking at Zhao Yun's angry eyes and angry expression, no one dares to say a word. It was only after the fact that he secretly discussed why he reacted like this.
Within a few days, Zhu Huan successfully completed the task and captured Zuo Rong and several leaders alive.
That night, Zhao Yun, Gao Shun, and Xu Xuan came to a meeting.
Zuo Rongchang is very tall, with horizontal flesh, a dense beard on his face, eyes like copper bells, and many scars on his face, he is a ruthless character at first glance. And he's very bold and a tough guy.
Zhao Yun kept staring at Zuo Rong, his eyes seemed to be about to breathe fire, this guy didn't eat hard and soft, it had cost him a lot of time.
Zhao Yun took a slow breath and said coldly: "It's you who toast yourself and don't eat and drink, no wonder I'm ruthless." Come on, go find me a bag of ants and a bottle of honey at once. ”
Xu Xuan looked at Zhao Yun in surprise.
Gao Shun looked at Zhao Yun with understanding.
And Zuo Rong glared angrily and shouted: "You are a bullshit hero, there is a kind of giving Lao Tzu a knife to see if Lao Tzu will frown." ”
Zhao Yun said coldly: "If you let you die like this, wouldn't it be cheap for you?" I just want you to make it impossible for you to live, and you can't die. ”
Zuo Rong only gritted his teeth angrily, eager to eat his flesh raw.
Zhao Yun suddenly smiled and said, "I see how hard you can be, you should be yourself, what will I do next, right?" But I don't think you're happy to say it, so I'll help you say it. I'll get you a good spot first, and then I'll smear this sweet honey on every part of your body, including the base of your ears, your flanks, and the base of your thighs. And then, hehe, you know that the ant is very cute. ”
Zuo Rong has already begun to change color.
Gao Shun and Xu Xuan also looked at him with strange eyes, as if they had found a person for the first time.
Zhao Yun suddenly changed his face, and said viciously: "Let you taste what it is called ten thousand ants piercing your heart, think of thousands of ants, on you, everywhere, biting every inch of your skin, so that you can't survive, you can't die, that must be very interesting, right?" Hahaha. ”
Zuo Rong couldn't help but scold all his life: "You are a demon, you are not a human. ”
Zhao Yun's face was full, and he smiled again and said: "It's okay, I still have a lot of such inhumane ideas, if the one just now can't force your mouth, then I'll change it." Well, by the way, I'll ask the soldiers to find a dozen hungry gophers, and then put them in a pocket, and then, hehe, I'll tie the bag around your waist so that your lifeblood is in the bag, so that the hungry rats will be hungry. Finally, wouldn't it be fun for me to find some of the most beautiful women and sleep with you every day and let them tease you every day? ”
Gao Shun also changed color, Xu Xuan only almost couldn't listen to it, both of them were creepy in their hearts, thinking that Zhao Yun was usually silent, cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and today he also showed a vicious side, these are Zhang Lang's usual tricks, could it be that Zhao Yun has also learned it? The two looked at Zhao Yun with disbelief on their faces, and they were stunned for a while.
The soldiers below were even more attentive, chilling in their hearts, and at the same time secretly thinking that if they gave it in the future, it would be better to kill themselves sooner.
Zuo Rong finally collapsed, the torture of ** was far less than this kind of mental blow, every word Zhao Yun said, it hit his heart fiercely, making him have demonic thoughts. Death is really nothing to him, but there is really no way to accept torturing himself in this way.
Zhao Yun nodded with satisfaction and said: "I know you are a man, if you want to say it, I can make you die a happy death, it's a big deal that you will still be a hero after eighteen years, but if you don't want to say it, I will torture you in a life-and-death dilemma, and you will regret coming to die again." ”
Zuo Rong was like a defeated rooster, drooping his head and saying, "I said, I said everything." ”
Zhao Yun had a victorious smile on his face and asked, "Why did you attack officers and soldiers, I don't think you are just for money, right?" ”
Zuo Rong said: "The attack on your soldiers is indeed for money." ”
Zhao Yun said: "But there is no money in the army. ”
Zuo Rong regretted it and said: "The money that the grass people said is not in the army. The grass people didn't know how much money they had in the army, and whether it was worth their lives. ”
Zhao Yun realized that the key had arrived, and said tightly: "Then what do you mean?" ”
Zuo Rong thought for a while, looked up and said, "About a few days ago, a person came to our cottage, and he said that he wanted to make an order with the grass people to sell and buy. Originally, the grass people were very scruples, because they wanted us to attack the officers and soldiers, but he gave us five hundred silver. , and said that after the deed is completed, another five hundred silver will be given. Adults, you must know that this thousand taels of silver can make the grass people and their brothers send for decades. That's why I was intrigued. ”
Zhao Yun and Xu Xuan glanced at each other, and Xu Xuan said, "What does that person look like?" ”
Zuo Rong recalled: "The man was tall and thin, with sharp-beaked monkey cheeks and single eyelids, and spoke with an accent in the Jiangnan area. ”
Zhao Yun thought for a moment and asked, "If that one is standing in front of you now, will you recognize it?" ”
Zuo Rong didn't think about it and said: "That person hurt my brothers so badly, even if he turned into ashes, I would know it." ”
Xu Xuan continued: "Do you know what the name is?" ”
Zuo Rong said: "He claims to be Kong Liang. ”
Xu Xuan said to Zhao Yun and Gao Shun: "It is estimated that this person's name is a pseudonym, but it must be Zhu Yi's henchman, otherwise he would not let others do such a big thing." ”
Zhao Yun was suspicious: "With Zhu Yi's vicious surname, will he also kill people?" ”
Xu Xuan thought for a while and said: "There is a possible surname, but now we must immediately recruit all the soldiers and let him recognize people, focusing on Zhu Yi's people." ”
Zhao Yun nodded and said, "Also, you have to protect Zuo Rong well, I'm afraid that Zhu Yi will take action." ”
Gao Shun, who had not spoken, interjected at this time: "That's good, let him throw himself to his death." ”
