It's already Layue, Guo Xun thinks about his usual self.

In this kind of cold season, didn't they all sit by the warm charcoal stove in the past, drinking hot wine and hugging the soft beauty, and there were people bragging together?

Now I'm surrounded by stinky men who haven't bathed much in months.

"Master Hou, it's the little Zhuangzi in front!"

Qiu Luan stretched out his hand and pointed to a small village less than two miles ahead. It is said to be a small village, but in fact, it can be seen that the field in front of it should all belong to the same owner.

The distribution of houses in that small village looks like an ordinary village.

There are shadowy walled walls, tall and round granaries, and quite flat drying fields.

It's not yet dawn, so I can't tell the difference.

Guo Xun moved his footsteps, fell off the horse when he was suppressing bandits before, and his right leg was bruised a lot, and his knee was not lightly knocked out, and he is not well yet.

He looked ahead and asked in a low voice, "How far is this from the river?" ”

"Less than ten miles." The other put the total answer.

"Still here?" Guo Xun stared at that side viciously, "If you pounce in the air, that kid won't know how far he can run along the canal for a day and night, so how can he find it?" ”

"There will be no mistake, since the news came, they have not moved here, and the last general's command has been watching this side."

Guo Xun felt a little weird: "He's stupid, right?" Now that they've started running, how do you run to such an easy-to-find place to hide? So close to the river......"

He felt that although he was much smarter than Shou Ninghou, Shou Ninghou's choice was really too stupid.

"Since it's still there, Master Hou, what should I do?"

It's not up to them to call the shots. Marquis Wuding was ordered to "persuade" Marquis Shouning to go back, how to persuade him?

“…… Anyway, it's hard to fly around it first! Lao Wei, how to encircle? ”

"I've already thought about it. Hou Ye, please see, all the elites who came today are elite, and the night walk is much better than before, and it is not yet the end of the day. If it is very safe, divide the infantry sub-battalion into two infantry to touch and block the west and north, and one hour is enough. Let's wait here for more than half an hour, and then we can spread out and touch it slowly. When you get to the edge of the river, you can raise a fire, and the Heng soldiers brought with you will be wrapped up from the east, very quickly! ”

Guo Xun nodded solemnly: "Listen to you, go and arrange it!" ”

It is said that it is difficult to fly with wings, and it must be difficult to fly with wings. When surround a group of bandits before, Guo Xun just couldn't bear to wait for others to go around to the opposite side to block it, so he missed a little, and fell down when chasing after him on horseback.

looked up at the moon, an hour, Guo Xun can wait.

Lying in the dense forest to the south, Qiu Luan asked in a low voice, "Uncle Guo, do you really want to attack?" What if Shou Ninghou falls victim to a stray arrow or commits suicide in fear of sin? ”

Guo Xun said with disdain: "Don't worry, he is reluctant to commit suicide." ”

Why storm? Since they are all running away, how can it be so easy to persuade him? Guo Xun didn't bother to persuade him.

Except for Zhang Heling himself, why are others staying? It's still cumbersome to carry.

Besides, in the face of the defense of the official army, Zhang Heling dared to resist, wouldn't it be more meritorious to "persuade" him to go back in this way?

Patiently waiting for the time to pass a little bit, and after the old Wei came over and told him that it was almost over, Guo Xun tried his feet, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Go!" ”

Two hundred figures, full of people, groped out of the small forest, and not one of them spoke.

And there were two hundred cavalry hidden behind him.

Guo Xun only brought a total of 400 people from the Yiheng infantry sub-battalion and 200 people from the Yiheng cavalry sub-battalion.

The 5,000 Chinese troops of the Shenji Battalion caught a Zhang Heling, which was too exaggerated, and it was easy to startle the snake.

Today's people are all elite!

The winter night dawned late, it was almost dawn, but it was still dark.

Guo Xun didn't step on it well, and fell into a ball of mud and stumbled: Damn, it's winter, shouldn't the field be frozen?

Gritting his teeth and taking a breath, he continued to touch forward.

It's okay to be miserable after going back, although this trip to suppress the bandits is very funny, but after all, he Guo Xun has been performing on stage.

When he arrived at the small river less than three hundred steps away from Zhuangzi, Guo Xun ordered: "Cross the bridge first, see someone shouting over there, the lights start to shake and then raise the fire!" ”

So they crossed the little bridge in turn, and then spread out again and slowly approached.

Two hundred steps, one hundred steps, the inside of the Zhuangzi is still quiet.

Guo Xun's face changed: "It's not good!" Maybe there's a secret passage that's already gone! Raise the fire, rush! ”

Otherwise, how could there not even be a sentry?

In an instant, more than a dozen torches lit up to the south of this small village, and the sound of horses' hooves faintly came from behind Guo Xun and them.

After running for a hundred paces, Guo Xun felt that his wound must have cracked open again.

However, with the light of the fire and the footsteps, there was still no movement in the Zhuangzi, just like no one.

"Master Hou, you are sitting here to beware of traps, and the last general will attack it!"

I could hear movement in the west and north, and when I saw the fire on this side, I must have quickened my pace on that side.

These hundreds of big men surrounded them violently, but there was no resistance in the village, not to mention, and there was no movement, Guo Xun only felt that he had been tricked!

Is there a secret passage here? Digging a secret passage in the ground along the canal?

"Master Hou! Master Hou! Got it! ”

Guo Xun was stunned for a moment, and then shouted while walking outside: "There is no ambush? What about his domestic servants? ”

"The servants are all dead," Lao Wei's tone was a little strange, "Shou Ninghou is injured...... Very heavy......"

Guo Xun rushed straight into Zhuangzi and walked towards a big house, his face changed when he entered the door, and then he scolded: "Qi Yong, didn't you say that you still left your brother to watch here?" Where did the hands-on people go? ”

"The little flag brought by the lowly post should have arrived when he saw the army coming around." Qi Yong, who came to deliver a message to Guo Xun, also had an ugly face, "Now that I'm not here, I don't know what happened." Mr. Wei, what do you say about the soldiers you left here to keep an eye on? ”

"I didn't see anyone in the village go out, and now looking at the situation, it's no wonder that I have seen cooking smoke in the past two days. They also thought that the dry food that Shou Ninghou was hiding here to eat temporarily, and he was waiting for someone to answer, so he didn't dare to act rashly. ”

Guo Xun looked at the house full of killed domestic servants with a pale face, there were more than thirty of them, and there were even two women.

And Zhang Heling, who was tied to the bed in the inner room, was already dying. The most troublesome thing is that his crotch should be gone, but he still has some medicine and bandaged it well.

"Into the mother!" Guo Xun limped around the room and scolded, "Who did it?!" ”

He Zhang Heling can suffer some hardships, but he can't die!

Guo Xun now understands this.

But what is more difficult than death is that Zhang Heling was tortured like this.

Will Empress Dowager Zhang think that he did it?

Guo Xun didn't know what was going on in Beijing, he didn't know the details, he was just ordered to come over to find Zhang Heling and persuade him to go back.

The specific location was told to them by the Jinyi guard sent by Cui Yuan.

Guo Xun, who had worked hard all night and walked in the dark, was empty and irritable, and now he had to carry him back to Beijing.

"Carry these out and burn them, and then go to the nearby county to find a doctor and find a carriage!" Guo Xun gritted his teeth, "Qi Yong, you go to your people first." Old Wei, before the army came, let the people in the cavalry sub-battalion look around to see if there are any clues. ”

“…… Master Hou, they only know how to kill the enemy, but they don't have the ability to catch fast. ”

"Always look for it!" Guo Xun looked at Zhang Heling with a big head, "Bring some water and dry food, he is afraid that he has been hungry for at least two days." ”

How to make a difference when you go back to Beijing this time?

……

"General, can this really cope with the past?"

"Isn't it all proper, the people sent by Yang Zhitai and Chen Futai have nothing to say?"

Zhangye City is the garrison of the general army of Gansu Town, and the eunuchs and the envoys of the governor were originally stationed here, but now the eunuchs and the envoys of the governor are dead.

After the incident, Li Long was indeed a little panicked at first when he heard that Dong Wenzhong committed suicide in fear of crime, but then he came up with a plan, relying on the power of the temporary boss of Ganzhou to find a lot of silver from Dong Wenzhong's mansion, and even copied a lot of silver from many merchants and big families in Ganzhou on the charge of colluding with Xu Ming and Dong Wenzhong to deduct money and sell military funds.

Part of this silver is the evidence that Xu Ming and Dong Wenzhong are greedy for ink.

Those who were transferred from Shaanxi to be appointed as governors were paid the full amount of silver, and the mutiny of the soldiers naturally subsided.

Li Yi, the deputy commander-in-chief, said again: "That Fu is ...... to decide."

Li Long calmed his face, and said after a while: "It's okay! Now that the mutiny has been quelled, the court will not pursue it further. ”

After Xu Ming's death, Li Long coerced and hinted that the palm prints and books of the Shaanxi Xingdu Division would play Xu Mingke's military salary together, but Fu Ji did not listen, and then he was seriously injured and bedridden on the way home.

Now that the mutiny has passed, Li Long did not think about openly killing officials again.

Bandits on the night road.

What's more, Li Long is very sure, and when Zhang Yong arrives today, he will find that at least Ganzhou at this moment is inseparable from him Li Long!

Outside Zhangye City, Li Long squinted his eyes and looked at a tent of dust in the distance.

"It's coming! Let's get over it! ”

After getting up from the table in the small shop outside the city gate, he put on his helmet and walked out.

Not far away, Chen Jiuchou, the new governor of Gansu, stood there silently.

Seeing Li Long coming, he just nodded.

Li Long didn't care, after all, the former governor had just been killed and burned in the mutiny, and Chen Jiuchou was very wary of him.

Fortunately, Chen Jiuchou understood the situation very well, and as soon as he came, he obediently handed out the salary in full.

In the past few days, Li Long's hoarding of grain has been sold out.

This time, although the soldiers were excited to kill Xu Ming and make a big deal, Li Long felt that the money seemed to be faster in this way.

Thinking of this, he looked at the horse team that was getting closer and closer in the distance, and his eyes became a little solemn.

It was Zhang Yong, one of the Eight Tigers, who came.

Li Long didn't care about Zhang Yong's reputation in the border town: how much did the rebellion of King Anhua have to do with Zhang Yong? By the time he and Yang arrived in the Qing Dynasty, the rebellion had already been put down by the Ningxia guards.

But after they went back, they moved down Liu Jin, which would make Li Longgao look a little higher.

As for the military affairs of Xuanfu, Datong, Yansui and other towns seven years ago, isn't it that the first emperor wants to go to the government? How many people were circling around that side?

Li Long is now running outside the city to greet him, just because this tiger has not fallen yet, and he is still in charge of the imperial horse guard. In addition, it is also because Zhang Yong came for the mutiny.

To be able to stay on top for such a long time should be a very sleek person who knows the importance very well.

The news that came in advance also said that Zhang Yong came to temporarily replace Dong Wenzhong and appease Ganzhou to deal with the northern captives. At this time, isn't it important to defend against the enemy?

Seeing that the horse team was getting closer, Li Long greeted him with a smile.

It's a big deal to give him some of the money that was copied out this time.

Chen Jiuchou hesitated for a moment and fell behind Li Long. Seeing him like this, the smile on Li Long's face became even brighter.

"Father-in-law Zhang, I have worked hard all the way ......"

He didn't realize that Chen Jiuchou's slightly lagging step stuck Li Yi and the others by the way, and as a governor, it was difficult for others to cross him to greet Zhang Yong.

So Li Long didn't know the way Chen Jiuchou looked at him: Some people were alive, but they were already dead.

Zhang Yong carried the horse rope, as if to stop the horse, but the horse's head was held high for a while.

"Huh~~" Zhang Yong shouted in his mouth, as if he couldn't control it.

Li Long was disdainful in his heart, why did he have to ride a horse if his riding skills were so poor? Pretend to be loyal to the emperor's order and do everything with all his heart.

He stretched out his hand to help Zhang Yong hold the reins on the horse's head: "Ganzhou is windy and sandy, this horse Xu is unfortunate to be blinded......"

Before Li Long's words were finished, Zhang Yong had already pulled out a knife from the saddle with one hand, and drew an arc to neatly cut Li Long's throat.

Li Yi and the others' expressions suddenly changed greatly, but Chen Jiuchou in front of them suddenly turned around and shouted, "Don't move!" Your Majesty's will, only the first evil! ”

Li Long clutched his throat and looked at Zhang Yong, whose face was as cold as ice, in disbelief, only to see Zhang Yong skillfully pull up the horse's head again, and the two horses' hooves fluttered and kicked him in the chest.

After falling to the ground, Zhang Yong turned over and dismounted with some vigor in his sight, stepped on his hand after coming over, and slashed at his neck without hesitation.

Li Long's eyes were distracted: What's wrong with the imperial court? Crazy? Don't you investigate the case? What should I do with the military defense of Gansu Town?

Li Yi and the others held the handle of the knife with numb scalps, but they really didn't dare to move lightly when they stood there.

The more than 20 cavalrymen behind Zhang Yong did not dismount, but surrounded them on horseback.

In the eyes of Li Yi and other generals and others in the Shaanxi Xingdu Division, Zhang Yong never said a word, but he stayed in place and chopped off Li Long's helmet after chopping it twice, and then cut off his head carefully.

Carrying Li Long's head, Zhang Yong walked over slowly.

Li Yi and the others saw it very clearly, Zhang Yong was already quite old, his hair was a lot grayer, and the flesh on his face was also loose.

But at this moment, Zhang Yong's eyes were very cold and very sharp.

"The generals of Ganzhou will unload their armor and obey the order!"

One hand was a knife and the other was a head, and he did not take out the holy decree.

But Li Yi and the others were so sick that they put down their knives and threw them away, and they also took off their helmets and knelt down.

"Li Long passed on the first nine sides and warned the generals: I am the emperor, no matter how difficult it is in the future, it will not be difficult for the border town! Therefore, those who deduct military salaries will send people to investigate and kill! If the soldiers under my control mutinied en masse, I won't investigate it, and I will kill it directly! If you can't control your own soldiers, you can't manage your own soldiers, what kind of general should you be? Later, when I heard that there was a mutiny, I regarded it as a rebellion! ”

To put it bluntly, it is not the holy decree written by those edicts of the Hanlin Emperor.

Zhang Yong stared at them: "If there are any other people who have participated in the agitation, stand up yourself, so as not to affect your family." This is the first time that His Majesty has made a special opening for the border town. ”

Li Yi and the others turned pale.

"That is, there is no agitation, but it can't be stopped?" Zhang Yong's voice was still very cold, "Dali Temple and Jinyiwei will arrive later, and when the truth is found out, it will be dealt with as a rebellion." ”

“…… Li Long was arrogant and domineering, and the last general and others really couldn't stop it. Li Yi suddenly said, "It's the command Zhi Yong......"

A person behind him suddenly stood up to pick up the knife next to him, but many people behind this person suddenly stood up and pressed him and the other two to the ground: "Gonggong Zhang, the last general can't stop it......"

There was a sound of knives drawn on the horsebacks around them, and they turned over and surrounded them.

"The Last Will Be Wronged ......"

Zhang Yong interrupted him: "I repeat, those who participated in the agitation, now admit it, that is, they have taken the guilt themselves." If it is found out, it will be dealt with as a rebellion! ”

The blood on Li Long's skull and Zhang Yong's knife was still dripping, and finally one of them knelt down crying bitterly: "He is the chief military officer, he has military orders, can the last general not listen?" What kind of case is this? ”
