The battle lasted less than half an hour before it ended.

As soon as Liu Wei stepped into the temple gate, he saw He Miao's body.

He was hung from the old pine tree facing the temple gate, swaying back and forth in the cold wind like a wind chime.

And looking at his complexion, it seems that he has not been dead for long.

Liu Wei walked under the tree, looked up at He Miao, and beckoned Yinglin to bring Wu Kuang over.

"Why did you kill him?" There seemed to be no emotion in Liu Wei's voice, but it was coercive.

The battle has been fought, and Wu Kuang doesn't seem to have any need to pretend.

He giggled like an old hen laying eggs, and a mockery hung on the corner of his mouth, "Your Majesty, why do you ask so many times? ”

"He Miao is destined to die, isn't he? Even if you don't kill him, you will kill him! ”

"It's a pity that this fool is still wishful thinking that Your Majesty will see his loyalty!"

Liu Wei looked up at He Miao's corpse.

He seemed to have died quite peacefully, and I don't know how Wu Kuang killed him.

"You think you're completely guessing what I'm thinking?" Liu Wei asked.

Wu Kuang laughed, "Your Majesty, there is really no need for the Ming people to say those indifferent secret words, there is no need to speculate about your intentions at all, look at the fate of the general and the eleven middle servants, Your Majesty, will you really give He Miao a way to live?" ”

"He Jin is alive and well!" Liu Wei glanced down at Wu Kuang, "Don't speculate on me with your dirty mind that the world will not be chaotic, answer me well, why did you kill him?" ”

Under Liu Wei's gloomy and cold gaze, Wu Kuang's arrogant arrogance gradually faded, and he said dejectedly: "The humble position persuaded him to help Liu Fan act, and then switched to Yizhou Mu, but he didn't agree, and the humble post had to send him on the road." ”

This answer is the same as Liu Bian's guess, "When did you get here?" ”

"Today is the party, when the snow falls, we are here." Wu Kuang replied.

"Since He Miao didn't agree, why did he lead the army here?" Liu Wei asked rhetorically.

Wu Kuang raised his head, laughed mockingly, and said, "He actually didn't agree all along. A few days ago, he suddenly didn't know what came to mind, and suddenly told me that he agreed. ”

When he said this, I was a little skeptical that he was pretending to agree, but in fact he was ready to help Your Majesty and get some credit for himself. Later, I tried it, and sure enough, it was so. ”

"Your Majesty, do you feel unbearable to see a loyal man end up like this because of your suspicions?"

Liu Wei leaned over slightly, "Just because of your words, your nine clans are gone!" ”

Wu Kuang's expression suddenly became a little exciting.

From stunned to shocked and crazy, he seemed to have walked most of his life's mental journey in an instant.

"Someone, hang him next to him, and let him accompany my maternal uncle!" Liu Wei said coldly.

all fell into such an end, and they dared to run rampant in front of him.

The majesty of the emperor was like bullshit to him.

The two eunuchs wrapped a rope around Wu Kuang's neck, then passed the other end of the rope through the trunk of the tree, and with a violent force, Wu Kuang stood at the same height as He Miao.

He Miao was swinging with the wind, and he was swinging because of the unbearable pain.

"There are more than a few soldiers and horses led by He Miao, the others are nowhere to be found, Yinglin, send someone to ask these soldiers and find out." Liu Wei commanded.

"Yui!"

After explaining these things, Liu Wei led people into the main hall.

In the empty hall, only a few pedestals remained in their original positions.

And the idol on it is long gone.

Liu Wei looked around and didn't see the reason, and he really couldn't see which gods and Buddhas were once enshrined in this temple.

There are heroes like Zhang Jiao and Zhang Lu, and even the gods and Buddhas in the temple are not safe.

Originally, he stayed in the temple well, but maybe one day he would be invited to take care of the righteous house.

The bonfire behind the statue was still burning, and the few brocade chickens on top of it were roasted and fragrant.

Liu Wei sat down directly on the original futon, stretched out his hand to take down one of the golden chickens on it, gave half of it to Xun You, and said, "Sit down, warm up." ”

"Also, take out the remaining brocade chicken and stew it for the soldiers."

"Yui!"

More than 4,000 people ate five or six chickens, and everyone couldn't get over their mouths.

I can only drink some soup and taste the meat.

Nibbling on the chicken wings, Liu Wei suddenly noticed the magic weapon on the ground, he picked up the copper bell in it and said with a smile, "It turns out that he just used this family to recite the Sutra of Scolding, and finally got what he wanted, Wu Kuang probably rose up, right?" ”

"In the past, this copper bell seems to be mostly used for transcendence and exorcism, and in the dark, there is a destiny." Xun Youzuo said with a smile.

Liu Wei understood the twists and turns in Xun You's words, and couldn't help it.

Cultural people are so subtle and profound.

If he hadn't read for two days, he probably wouldn't have understood.

Yinglin walked in with a cold wind, "Your Majesty, there is a group of bandits on this mountain, and it is said that the head of the thieves has an old relationship with Wu Kuang. ”

"The other soldiers and horses were all deceived by Wu Kuang to carry grain and grass in the mountains, and Wu Kuang only left such a few people at the foot of the mountain for convenience."

Liu Wei snorted, "Sit down and rest!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yinglin sat down a little farther away.

"At this time, the wind and snow are in full swing, this mountain is steep, it is difficult for mules and horses to walk, and the Yulin army under He Miao cannot go down the mountain. I think the British general only needs to leave one or two hundred men on duty tonight, and the rest of the soldiers can go to sleep with peace of mind. Xun You said.

Yinglin looked at Liu Wei.

Liu Wei said: "Listen to Xun Junshi. In Beijing, he is a scholar and a servant, and when he goes out on the expedition, he is my military advisor sacrificial wine. ”

"Your Majesty......" Xun You was flattered, and looked panicked as if he had auditory hallucinations.

Liu Wei smiled instead: "Haven't you always been my military advisor?" ”

Xun You: ......

If you have to say that, it's like.

But he was still particularly surprised that the emperor trusted him so much.

……

As Xun You said, a night in this unknown temple was very smooth.

But when everyone was asleep, Xun You himself crept through the soldiers, checked the state of each soldier, and kept watch for a whole night.

He never felt that he would have anything to do with this army, he was from the DPRK, not from the army.

But the emperor's words made him suddenly realize that he seemed to have been indissolubly connected with these armies for a long time.

The burden of the military advisor's sacrificial wine is much heavier than that of Shang Shufu.

The military advisor has been around for a long time, and if the emperor only said that he was a military advisor, Xun You really didn't have any pressure.

It can be said that he is the emperor's military advisor, and Xun Yu, Chen Lin and others can also be regarded as the emperor's military advisor.

In fact, to put it bluntly, whether to call a servant or a military advisor is only a difference in title for the emperor.

But the military priest's sacrificial wine is different.

This is the head of the military division.

This reliance made Xun You excited, excited, and felt unprecedented pressure.

When the first rays of the morning sun pierce the heavens and the earth, it will sprinkle warmth to the world.

Xun You, who was napping by the fire, covered his face with his hands and opened his eyes.

Yesterday the wind and snow were blowing, and the sky and the earth were discolored, but today is a rare sunny day.

Xun You walked out of the temple and looked up at the mountain behind him.

The mountain is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The only mountain road is also like a sheep's intestines, spiraling up the mountain.

Yesterday I couldn't see it clearly, and I found it difficult to fight.

I saw it clearly today, but it was even more difficult to fight.

Xun You knew very well that since the emperor already knew that there was a group of bandits on it, he would definitely not let them go.

It is certain to fight, but how to fight is a problem.

"The military advisor didn't sleep last night?"

Yinglin stretched his waist and walked out of the temple, standing side by side with Xun You, looking up at the top of the mountain.

"The British general is like a god, and he even guessed that I didn't sleep last night." Xun You said with a smile.

Yinglin snorted, "I saw it." ”

He pointed to the top of the mountain and asked, "The military advisor plans to attack this mountain?" ”

"It's not that I plan to attack, but Your Majesty will definitely not let them continue to be thieves in the mountains." Xun You said.

Yinglin gestured with his hand and said, "Although it was snowy yesterday, the bandits probably saw us condescendingly. If they were prepared, attacking this mountain would be tantamount to death. On this mountain road, it is barely able to walk one person, and it must be up one to send one. ”

"It's useless to storm it." Xun You said, "But yesterday's wind and snow were too urgent, we couldn't see the road ten steps away, and it was impossible for them to see us from a high position." The footprints we walked were also completely buried by the wind and snow, and as long as we didn't make too much movement at the moment, they wouldn't notice the anomaly. ”

Yinglin suddenly shook his head and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes, I have to go in and tell them." Don't wait for the noise to start, but it's over. ”

Xun You's head.

He stared intently at the narrow mountain road, until he saw a dense figure carrying a cloth bag down the mountain like ants moving, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

When Liu Wei woke up, he felt that the bones in his body were not his own, he was a little flustered, and his head was extremely painful.

In this case, there is no need to wonder why, it must have been a cold last night.

And the stone floor in the temple is too sloppy.

Although he has been tempering himself diligently for most of the past half a year, he has been working hard to keep his body alive.

But to put it bluntly, his body is still only a fourteen-year-old boy after all.

And for the past thirteen years, he has been pampered.

After ordering Zhao Ye to boil some boiling water and drink it, those fluttering feelings were alleviated a little.

"Your Majesty, the people who went up the mountain yesterday have come down!" After Xun You came in, he knelt beside Liu Wei and said.

"Since I have met this group of bandits, I will never be able to stay, Gongda has a good plan?" Liu Wei asked.

Xun You had already made a full plan, so he said: "Your Majesty, Wu Kuang has an old relationship with the thief leader, and the minister thinks that Wu Kuang sent people up the mountain yesterday, not only to get food, but also to gather soldiers and horses and conspire for great things." ”

"Our army only needs to wait here for the rabbits, and they should be able to surround and annihilate them!"

Liu Wei nodded thoughtfully.

In normal human thought, this really seems to be an almost inevitable choice.

Brothers do big things, there is no reason not to help.

Unless, the relationship between this thief leader and Wu Kuang is just a gentleman's friend.

He could provide Wu Kuang with some grain and grass and send some favors, but he was unwilling to wade into this troubled water.

"If this group of thieves is not willing to participate in this matter, should Wu Kuang clarify his friendship with the thief leader, send some things, give feedback to the thief leader, and then take the opportunity to eradicate this group of bandits who are not in his heart?" Liu Wei asked.

Xun You smiled in his eyes and praised: "Your Majesty is high! After thinking about it, if this group of bandits was just willing to send some favors to Wu Kuang and refused to participate in this matter, I am afraid that this was the only way. ”

"This mountain is steep, and the only mountain road is extremely dangerous, if you attack it, it is difficult to win."

"Even if there are only a hundred bandits, it will be enough to keep our 4,000 army at the foot of the mountain."

Liu Wei bowed his head, "Then act on the opportunity, let's see what kind of urine thief this is!" ”

"Yui!"

He Miao, who went up the mountain, carried food on his back and broke into the temple unsuspectingly.

Thousands of people rushed in, and they were attracted by the corpses of He Miao and Wu Kuang hanging on the trees on the left and right.

"General...... How did you die? ”

"If only one of them died, I would understand, but why did they both die? There is no one here. ”

"It's hard to say, brothers, guys pick it up!"

"If there were no outsiders, how could the two generals be killed!"

……

While these soldiers were making a lot of noise, the open door of the temple was suddenly shut.

Immediately after that, from the ridge and the broken windows stood countless soldiers with bows and arrows.

At the same time, from the back of the temple, a large stream of even black armor and soldiers holding spears poured out.

"Your Majesty is here, and everyone still doesn't kneel down to greet you?" Yinglin strode out of the main hall of the temple with a knife.

These soldiers of the Yulin Army, after hesitating left and right, knelt down one after another.

Liu Wei sat on the threshold of the main hall without a straight face, and said to Yinglin: "Bring the commander of the army!" ”

"Yui!"

Like a drop of water melting into the sea, these Yulin troops were all captured without any defense.

But about half a pillar of incense, Yinglin walked over with two guards and a young man in escort.

"Your Majesty, this person is He An, the captain of He Miao's account." Yinglin said.

"He Miao, He An, who are you He Miao?" Liu Wei raised his eyebrows and asked.

The young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes looked at Liu Wei angrily, and replied unruly, "He is my father-in-law!" My stepfather never wanted to betray His Majesty, so why did His Majesty kill him? ”

"I have a good reason to kill him, but I am not the one who killed him. Don't you, the righteous son, know why he died? Liu Wei asked sarcastically.

"The minister was ordered to go up the mountain to get food yesterday, how can he know why my father-in-law died?" He An said angrily, "Why does Your Majesty dare not do it, how can you be worthy of the position of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme?!" ”

"My father-in-law is all loyal people, who would you be if it weren't for Your Majesty?"

Liu Wei sniffed, "Stupid as a pig, arrogant, arrogant!" He Miao recognized you as a righteous son, and there was a reason why! ”

"Come on, send him to the tree to accompany He Miao."

"I am the king, do you think I can't afford to kill him? Ignorance and iniquity! ”
