Chapter 112: External Hostile Forces
Chu Ze raised his head in the face of Emperor Xia's questioning, and said loudly: "If there is half a lie, I am willing to be punished by Your Majesty!" Just ask Your Majesty to send troops immediately! "Chu Ze understands very well the truth that soldiers are fast.
The ghost knows that he is coming to sue, will someone have an old relationship with Cai Wenguang and go to tell him? Emperor Xia said coldly: "Xu Yue! You go with Chu Ze! If it's true, bring that Cai Wenguang! I'm going to skin them and put them to death! If you don't find the woman Chu Ze said, then bring Chu Ze and Cai Wenguang back together! ”
"No!" Xu Yue promised to come down! Turning his head to look at Chu Ze, he said with a smile: "Let's go!" I want to see if Cai Wenguang's old guy really ate the bear's heart and leopard gall and dared to do such evil things! "When the night moon was in the sky, Chu Ze and the five thousand soldiers and horses of the Tiger Cavalry Guard went straight to the location of the military camp!
Xu Yue rode a black gold Menghu, holding a thousand catties of sledgehammers, looking extremely powerful! The Tiger Cavalry Guard itself is a cavalry, plus it is the elite of the Forbidden Army, and the horse it rides is extremely fast, and it soon arrived at Cai Wenguang's military camp, Xu Yue didn't pay attention to the guards at all!
Rush straight into it!
"Everyone, Lao Tzu is not allowed to move, whoever dares to do it will be regarded as a rebellion!" Xu Yue roared, and the sound spread throughout the entire military camp!
When Cai Wenguang came out, his face turned pale, and he said angrily: "General Xu, what do you mean by this?" He was a little glad that thanks to the guard on duty in advance, everyone had been sent back to the secret dungeon.
"Hehe, General Cai, this Vice Admiral Chu reported in front of His Majesty that you attacked and killed the village, kidnapped the young woman, and hid it in the barracks! Your Majesty asked me to check it out! You should have no opinion, right? Hearing this, Cai Wenguang was suddenly shocked, but immediately said with the same face as usual: "Naturally not!" As he spoke, he swept his gaze to Chu Ze: "This son, I remember that it was you who came to ask where the beast was during the day, and I asked myself if I had nothing to hide, and I had never offended Your Excellency, why did you frame me so much?" ”
"I'm framing NMGB!" Chu Ze said angrily: "You don't know what you did yourself?" General Xu, you come with me! While speaking, Chu Ze directly led Xu Yue and walked in the direction of the cellar!
In an instant, Cai Wenguang's eyes widened! How can it be! How could this kid know where the secret was?
It's just that Xu Yue didn't give him a chance to resist at all, grabbed his arm and led him to follow Chu Ze together.
When he came to the cellar, Chu Ze was neat, opened it, and jumped straight down! Then separate the cabbage and potatoes, find the secret door, and pull it hard to pull the whole secret door open!
A soldier followed Chu Ze inside, which was extremely dim, Chu Ze lit the torch, and saw that in the dark, women were locked in cages!
And there are hundreds of them! It's not a village! Just seeing Chu Ze, horror flashed in the eyes of these women, but none of them made a sound!
The soldiers behind Chu Ze rushed in, and when they saw the scene inside, they immediately turned around and shouted at Xu Yue: "General, there is really a woman!" And on it, Xu Yue casually connected the dots and sealed the acupoints around Cai Wenguang's body!
sneered: "You are so ruthless! With a wave of his hand as he spoke, a sergeant went down and got the women out one by one!
Cai Wenguang was controlled, his corporal was leaderless, and the tiger cavalry guard was famous, Xu Yue rode a tiger and held a thousand pounds of sledgehammers, and no one dared to resist at all.
Although they were still holding weapons, they were just standing on the periphery and watching! The women were taken out one by one, and at this time Chu Ze and Xu Yue found out that these women were all dumb!
Chu Ze turned his head to look at Cai Wenguang and shouted angrily: "Why can't these women speak? Cai Wenguang had already fallen into madness at this time, and laughed wildly: "Naturally, it is to prevent them from making a sound and being discovered by the outside world!" All of them are poisonous and dumb, even if outsiders come to search, it is difficult to find clues! How did you find out about my dungeon? ”
"How did you decide how to find the dungeon? You're waiting to die, you! You mad maniac! "Chu Ze is really going crazy, and this guy's methods are too ruthless.
"Am I mad? Do you know a piece of? I was born in the last few years, I joined the imperial court, and when I first joined the army, I was sent to this place where birds don't, and I stayed for five years, do you know how I came here? Do you know how uncomfortable it is for a young and vigorous young man to be in such a place where nothing is left for five years? How much torture to endure! Cai Wenguang yelled at Chu Ze!
"You don't know, you don't know anything. You nobles! Come here to play, hunt! You have no idea how uncomfortable it is to be in this place for five years! His eyes were full of madness: "Lao Tzu finally climbed into a general!" A seven-grade miscellaneous general, Lao Tzu has used TM for forty years! Forty years! As a result, Lao Tzu returned to this place for another five years! Isn't it because I have no one in the court? Why did Lao Tzu suffer such grievances? What have I been doing all these forty years of hard work and groveling? Is it just to go back to this bullshit place and suffer? Cai Wenguang's eyes swept around, and he laughed disdainfully: "Look at you forbidden soldiers, all day long in the bustling city of Kyoto, one on duty in Kyoto, or on duty, how do you know how many sins my brothers have suffered one by one?" If not, how would they be willing to follow me in such a thing? Brothers, don't be afraid, his head has fallen off a bowl and a big scar, let them fight today, regardless of the flood after his death! Eighteen years later, he will be a good man again, and when the time comes, we will gather in the mountains and forests, fall into the grass, and no longer be affected by the birds of the imperial court! Cai Wenguang roared, and the surrounding sergeants also roared: "I will never be affected by this bird again!" Give it a go! "They didn't dare to resist before, not because they were afraid of death, but because they were afraid of implicating their families!
At this time, he was agitated by Cai Wenguang's voice, and his blood suddenly rushed! Draw your sword one by one! Basically, all the soldiers here, under the long-term loneliness and boredom, coupled with Cai Wenguang, the disgruntled officer, none of them have a good mentality!
Xu Yue frowned! He didn't think that these people could be his opponents for the Tiger Cavalry Guard, after all, with him, it would be absolutely impossible for these people to win!
However, these patrol guards are definitely not weak, they often eat the meat of fierce beasts, and their combat power is not inferior to the elite of the forbidden army!
In the event of a conflict, casualties are inevitable! At this moment, Chu Ze slapped Cai Wenguang in the face and scolded angrily: "Shut up! Then he grabbed his neck with one hand, turned his head, looked at the surrounding sergeants with cold eyes, and said coldly: "If you think what you are doing is right, if one day your wife and children are killed and bullied because someone's desires are difficult to satisfy, do you also think it is right?" Can you tolerate what you are doing to your own loved ones? Five years is indeed not a short time! But this is no excuse for you to do evil! You are the rabble who gather in the mountains and forests in the next life, and sooner or later they will be cut off and taken to receive merit! Speaking of this, Chu Ze's tone softened: "Although you have done evil things!" But it was bewitched by Cai Wenguang, His Majesty may not execute all of you, if you do it at this time, it will be an attack on the forbidden army, the same crime as rebellion, not to mention the beheading of the whole house, and it will also connect the nine clans, why, really ignore your parents, wives and children at home? Regardless of siblings? Drop your weapons at once, I promise you! Go and intercede with Your Majesty and give you a chance to make meritorious contributions! I've dozens of voices! Those who do not put down their blades will be dealt with as rebellion! One! Two! Chu Ze was full of true energy, and every shout was extremely decisive and firm!
All the Tiger Rider Guards are holding their weapons tightly and ready to fight! The situation is clear, the conflict is on the verge of breaking out!
really said that for the sake of this group of guys, it is not worth it to take the name of the forbidden soldier again, in Chu Ze's opinion.
So speak out immediately, point out the pros and cons, and divide people's hearts! As Chu Ze counted out, the psychological pressure on the surrounding soldiers became more and more!
"Still not letting go?" Chu Ze roared! The soldiers who were originally instigated by Cai Wenguang rushed with blood, and suddenly someone let go of the knife in his hand!
The steel knife hit the ground, and there was an immediate chain reaction. All the courage to resist crumbled. Why are many ministers executed, and they still respectfully thank the emperor for their favor, instead of cursing the emperor for a mouthful of addiction?
It's not that I'm afraid of affecting my family. The same is true of these soldiers. Really said that it affects parents, can you be so ruthless?
Chu Ze still strangled Cai Wenguang's neck and didn't give him an open rally. It wasn't until all the soldiers were controlled by the forbidden tiger cavalry guards that Chu Ze let go of his hand!
Seeing that the conflict had subsided, Xu Yue grinned: "Hehe, thanks to your kid's ability to speak, if this is me, maybe I will have to do it, how about it, are you interested in coming to my Tiger Guard?" At that moment, although he didn't want to see the casualties of his men, his first reaction was still to prepare for battle!
"Uh, General Xu. I'm a member of the Shanzi Camp now, and Commander Wen agrees, so naturally I have no opinion! Chu Ze smiled slightly, and instead of answering this question positively, he pushed it on Wen Qi.
Xu Yue touched his chin and seemed to really start thinking about the feasibility of this matter! Returning with people is much slower.
It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that Chu Ze and Xu Yue escorted all the sergeants and took those women to Emperor Xia's temporary camp!
When Emperor Xia saw those women, even at his age, he couldn't suppress his anger.
Fly into a rage! What kind of behavior is it to raid and kill villages, kidnap women, poison them dumb, confine them in military camps, and enjoy them lewdly?
Emperor Xia immediately began to interrogate Cai Wenguang! This guy also knows that he will die, and he doesn't care at all, whatever Emperor Xia asks, he will tell the truth!
It turned out that he had been resentful since he took office. In addition, the desire in my heart is troublesome, and I think about it all day long to have some fun!
Later, he first built a dungeon, and then took his own soldiers to control the village, led the fierce beasts and wolves, and destroyed the village!
Bring one of the women back to the camp! Then he began to let his sergeants eat one by one. Drag everyone into the water!
After that, he became even more unscrupulous, increasing the scale of the dungeon, and attracting fierce beasts to attack the village many times! He also bought off manpower in the government office, and kept an eye on the movement of the government office.
As soon as someone enters the mountain without a hitch, he will release a carrier pigeon, and he will find a way to deal with it! However, the government government never seemed to find out about this matter, and every time, the village was burned, which made him even more unscrupulous!
"You bastard, I'm coming, you dare to do such an evil thing?"
"Hehe, if you want to blame the village chief, he actually said that the village has earned enough money in the mountains and forests in the past few years, and is ready to move back to the county, his daughter, I have been eyeing him for a long time, how can I let him leave?" Emperor Xia trembled angrily, pointed at Cai Wenguang and said, "Okay, you Cai Wenguang, I want to punish your nine clans!" Cai Wenguang didn't care at all, he was a selfish person, he glanced at Emperor Xia, and sneered: "Whatever you want, you are such a faint king, you only know how to let those nobles enjoy the benefits, these poor people of mine can only come to this kind of bullshit place to be on duty, I am not the first to do such a thing, and it is definitely not the last, can you kill it?" "This is not bad, in fact, the reason why there is a saying that the government officials will catch the head and inspect the attacked village is because some generals have done similar things before, but those people directly attacked and killed, and then set fire to the village!
Later, after the incident, a strict order was issued that these patrol guards were not allowed to dispose of the attacked village once they found it.
If the village is burned in private, it will be punished directly! Emperor Xia didn't bother to pay attention to him, waved his hand, and Cai Wenguang was taken down!
At this time, everyone could see that Emperor Xia was not in a good mood!
"I ordered these guards to patrol the enclosure of this ten thousand mountains, so that these people could have more protection from being attacked and killed by fierce beasts. I didn't expect such a thing to happen in the end..."Emperor Xia sighed and said, "What do you think these soldiers should do? "Cai Wenguang, Emperor Xia has already decided, and he must punish his nine clans.
But what about these thousands of sergeants? His gaze swept over the hundreds of officials in the account, and finally looked at Liu Qianshan!
"Liu Xiang, let's talk about it, what should I do with these soldiers?" Liu Qianshan stood up, groaned slightly, and said, "Weichen suggests, kill!" Whether it is national law or military law, not killing things here is not enough to warn everyone, and killing them can make the hearts of the people calm. Emperor Xia looked at him and said softly: "But I feel that although the soldiers are at fault, after all, they are acting according to orders, and their crimes are not to death. Liu Qianshan frowned and said, "But when this matter comes out, how will the people think of it?" If the people spread the news, they would inevitably complain about the court. "Yes, no matter what, this matter is definitely a big scandal for the Great Xia Imperial Court.
If the soldiers slaughter the village, if they are not punished, it will definitely be difficult for the people to accept! But if you want to talk about punishment, it will definitely not be light!
"What do you think?" Emperor Xia's gaze swept over the ministers. Chu Ze couldn't help but speak: "What's so difficult about this? It is only necessary to sentence the killing, but not the killing, and then push it to the external hostile forces. Emperor Xia looked at Chu Ze and said curiously: "What does it mean to judge and not kill, and to whom do you push it?" Chu Ze arched his hand and said: "In this matter, Your Majesty just doesn't want to see the people complain to the court, and he doesn't want these powerful soldiers to die in vain." Your Majesty can sentence them to death first, and announce to the public that Cai Wenguang is the secret spy of the Zhou State, and deliberately instructed me to do such a bad thing, so that the whole thing is convenient for my Great Xia Dynasty to have nothing to do. At the same time, His Majesty can order that due to the shortage of soldiers due to the continuous war, death row prisoners from all over the country will be transferred to form death row camps to attack the Zhou State. He claimed that as long as he obtained enough meritorious service, he would not die, but in fact, he made him the head of the battle array, and after several repetitions, he would inevitably be killed and wounded. In this way, even if these people die naturally, they can kill the enemy for His Majesty. Finally, it was announced to the country that these strong soldiers had been killed in battle, and many people of the Zhou State had been killed, which would surely make the people cheer! Everyone looked at Chu Ze, good guy, it's really shameless.
Can this also be pushed to Zhou Guo? It was Liu Changfeng, although he also considered reducing his influence among the people, but he didn't expect to be able to push it to Zhou Guo.
Chu Ze is a complete hard buckle! But after thinking about it carefully, everyone also understood, what do the common people know?
It's not what the court says, it's what's going on? The evil things done by their own generals and the secret spy of the Zhou State are completely two different things, at least in the sound of the common people!
Hate targets are also quite different! Emperor Xia looked at Liu Qianshan, and Liu Qianshan smiled: "The minister thinks it is feasible!" ”
"Then it's settled! Zhou dared to send secret spies to infiltrate the army and harm the people in my territory, and after the beginning of spring, I ordered Xiao Wanli to lead the army and continue to attack Zhou! ”
"No!" Xiao Wanli immediately responded. In the last war between the two countries, Xia took advantage. Although Chen Xixin died in battle, it is a slight fly in the ointment, but on the whole, the frontal battlefield is better than Xia Guo!
Obviously, Emperor Xia still wants to continue to expand the results of the battle. Emperor Xia looked at Chu Ze, and he was very satisfied that Chu Ze was able to find clues and just put forward this idea of pushing it to the enemy country.
In particular, Xu Yue also said that Chu Ze persuaded the sergeant to put down his arms in the process of going to the barracks, which made Emperor Xia quite appreciative of Chu Ze.
"You young people, although you have never hunted fierce beasts, but you have also made great achievements, as a reward, what do you want?" Emperor Xia asked Chu Ze.
Chu Ze hurriedly pretended to be modest: "This is all within the minister's responsibility, and there is no need for a reward." ”
"Hehe, you can mention an eight-grade general! The other three will be rewarded with a thousand taels each! As soon as he heard this, Liu Changfeng's eyes suddenly lit up!
He's going to die poor! The reward was beaten, and although he left some money, he squandered it in a few days!
Now when he heard about Qianjin, he was immediately overjoyed and shouted: "Thank you, Your Majesty! It's just that what he didn't expect was that Liu Qianshan stood up and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, now that the war is imminent, the treasury is not rich, my son Changfeng's money is still gone, my son, he is also old, he doesn't like to study literature, and I ask Your Majesty to place him in a military position." Emperor Xia looked at Liu Qianshan and said with a slight smile: "Do you want him to be a captain under Chu Ze?" "Liu Changfeng only felt his heart... In dripping blood.. Who wants to join the military?
Lao Tzu wants money! I want to go to Biliu Yuntian! At this time, Zhao Jizhe also spoke: "Grandpa Huang, my grandson doesn't want money, and I also want to be a lieutenant under General Chu Bi!" ”
