The wind and sand are blowing, and the city of Shuozhou has also been invaded by the wind and sand, and this seemingly small wind and sand is like prostatitis of a middle-aged person, the amount is not large, and the bit by bit lasts for a long time.

For five days, the wind and sand continued, and the people of the Great Sui border pass suffered from it, and the Turks were even more uncomfortable without walls and houses.

At this time, there was no war, and Yang Guang interrogated Liu Kuang at Yanmen Pass.

Liu Kuang is a middle-aged man who is not tall, and it seems that he has been living a miserable life in prison these days, with a lot of scars on his body, and he is also skinny when hungry.

Although Yang Guangyou ordered that he should not be treated badly, the soldiers at Yanmen Pass hated the Turks the most, so how could they not privately punch and kick a few times?

Fortunately, they still have their strength, otherwise their lives are estimated to be lost.

Yang Guang looked at Liu Kuang, who was kneeling in front of him, and asked: "Bold Liu Kuang fornicated with the Turks, resold goods, and financed the bandits, but he confessed his guilt." ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, the little one didn't do these things."

Liu Kuang directly denied it, but he was very tough.

In the face of the facts, how can you deny it: "I will ask you this sentence superfluously, I am usually used to it in Daxingcheng, this is the border pass, the situation is different, your crime of fornicating with the Turks has been verified, I should ask how you fornicated with the Turks and why you did it." ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, the little one didn't do this."

Yang Guang shook his head: "Although I advocate the law, but for sinners who fornicate with foreign clans, I have no objection to the use of capital punishment, you also know your own identity, as soon as I let go, in this Yanmen Pass, the soldiers will tear you apart alive, I'm just curious about your motives now." ”

Seeing that he didn't speak, he directly ordered: "Come here, take it out to beat ten big boards, and leave him alive for the time being." ”

Liu Kuang was taken out, and Yu Dehuai said angrily: "Why does Your Highness only play ten boards?" ”

Yang Guang glanced at Yu Dehuai: "As far as the soldier's hatred for him is concerned, it must be a dead hand, it is easy to control it if he hits ten boards, and if he hits a few more times, he will not be able to control his strength, so he will be killed directly." ”

"What Your Highness said is very true."

Sure enough, there was a terrible scream directly outside, and for the soldiers who hated the Turks so much, this time they were fighting like a flesh open, and they only felt that they hadn't hit hard enough.

The second blow of the buttocks blossomed, the flesh bloomed, the blood foamed everywhere, and the person passed out again.

The soldiers who were tortured also panicked and did not dare to do anything, for fear that they would not be able to explain to Yang Guang if they were killed.

Yang Guang asked the doctor to heal him, and Yu Dehuai asked puzzledly: "Your Highness, this person's evidence is conclusive, why don't you just kill the public." ”

"Who he traded with, how he traded, why he funded the Buddha Kingdom, and who else was involved, don't these things have to be clarified? Otherwise, would there still be a bane in Yanmenguan? ”

Hearing this, Yu Dehuai hurriedly said: "The last general is too talkative, His Royal Highness forgives his sins." ”

On the second day, Yang Guang didn't ask, but on the premise that the doctor ensured that Liu Kuang would leave his life, he sprinkled salt on Liu Kuang's wound every few hours, and the coarse salt particles would continue to remain in the cracks between the skin and flesh that Liu Kuang had opened.

Liu Kuang, who couldn't sleep, soon collapsed.

On the fourth day, Liu Kuang couldn't hold on to the punishment and shouted in prison: "I said, I said ......"

Liu Kuang, who finally couldn't stand it, was carried in front of Yang Guang, at this time Liu Kuang, who had been tortured and unadult, exuded a fishy smell, and could see that there was feces and urine on his messy hair, it seems that the soldiers who monitored him still lynched him, and it was estimated that he was afraid that he would die, so he did not fight, but used a disgusting lynching, such as eating something that was not delicious.

"Since you plan to say it, then honestly explain that you can suffer less crimes, this king asks you, why did you open a private market with the Turks?"

"I was doing business in Shuozhou, and the Turks found me, I was reluctant at first, but the Turks threatened me with my whole family, so I had to follow, they would arrange time with me to trade regularly, mostly some precious commodities of the Great Sui plundered from other places, jade and the like, these things could not be sold at a price in the Turks, but they were worth a lot of money in the Great Sui, especially in big cities like Chang'an and Luoyang, and these things were at the beginning, and later there were some Turkic aristocratic things."

"Later, the people of the Buddha Kingdom contacted me, and I don't know how they learned about my trade with the Turks, half of it was a lure, half of it was a threat, and I could only do a thief's thing when I got on a thief ship, so I began to resell the Turkic weapons and armor to them, because the blades of the Great Sui, especially the armor, were extremely tightly controlled, but the Turkic weapons and armor had a way."

Speaking of this, Liu Kuang sighed: "I thought it would be very troublesome to resell armor weapons, but I don't know how the people of Yiye Tan Buddha Country can handle the Yanmen Pass guard, I was like entering a no-man's land, I was scared at first, and then I got used to it, and it became more and more smooth." ”

"Who are the people from Yanmen Pass who contacted you?"

"The biggest official is Gao Huairong, the deputy general of Yanmen Pass, and the rest are his subordinates."

Gao Huairong's subordinates had killed a few when they were attacking the bandits before, and as for whether there were any remnants, Yang Guang didn't know that Gao Huairong would rather go to the battlefield to die than confess to anyone.

Liu Kuang knew very little about the situation inside Yanmen Pass.

"One Leaf Tan Buddha Country, do you understand?"

"I know some, they are from Zhuo County, when they first traded, I went to their mountain myself, enshrined a Buddha statue that looked scary, one by one followed the demon, nourishing the Buddha statue with blood every day, their holy woman is very strange, at a glance it makes people unconsciously want to get closer, the abbot is the former bandit leader."

"What do they need so many Turkic weapons for?"

"They don't really need so many weapons on the mountain, I have seen that after I sent the weapons and equipment, they transferred things out, most of them went to other places, and their own forging place, at the beginning all the weapons were reforged, and then it seemed that the border pass was unattended, so they directly used the Turkic scimitar, I asked them to be careful, but they didn't listen, there were people covering Yanmen Pass, they didn't care about it."

Yang Guang frowned slightly, this Yiye Tan Buddha Country is not a local organization, the scale of the local force does not seem to be the largest, if the scale of this church-type organization continues to expand, it is extremely harmful, and it cannot be allowed to expand like this, but now it is really impossible to deal with them.

After the last encirclement and suppression, it must have changed its position, and it will be difficult to exterminate it again.

"Give you a pen and paper, write down all the people you know about this matter, whether it is from Yanmen Pass or Shuozhou City, write down what you have done, and verify that if there is no lie, you can suffer less."

After taking the pen and paper, Liu Kuang began to write, writing a full page, Yang Guang took the paper and handed it to Zhang Xiangren, the deputy general of Yanmen Pass: "You help me to check, I want to check clearly and clearly, whether the people above are consistent with the charges, especially the few people in Yanmen Pass." ”

Zhang Xiangren took the paper, his face was a little embarrassed, it was obvious that Yang Guang was giving him a chance to submit his name.

Liu Kuang can write down his name and position by name and surname, these people are likely to really have problems, of course, it may also be Liu Kuang who deliberately bites, so Yang Guang asked him to check, and after verifying it, he can't wronged anyone.

Yu Dehuai also understood what Yang Guang meant, and immediately made up his mind and said: "Your Highness, I'll go, Xiang Ren is soft-hearted, I'll do these things." ”

"I said, Zhang Xiangren went."

Yang Guang's words were undoubted, and Yu Dehuai could only stop there, and let Zhang Xiangren be ordered to investigate these people.

As things gradually became clearer, the suspicions of Yu Dehuai and Zhang Xiangren became smaller and smaller, but for the sake of safety, at least Yang Guang did not intend to let the two of them participate in the real decision-making in this battle, nor could they participate in the army attack.

Zhang Xiangren left quite helplessly, this was the first time he had left this command office in addition to convenience these days.

After Yang Guang finished arranging things, he looked at the window that was creaking because of the raging wind and sand, and sighed: "The environment at the border is really hard. ”

"Every day, you say that I have a disaster of blood and light, and now the battle is in the dark, and the blood is flowing like a river, is it a disaster of blood and light?"

"Your Highness forgives your sins, slaves and maids are not specific matters, and they don't have this ability."

"Hey, the people who died are all good men of my Great Sui, only the strong country can prevent foreign bullying, give me a few more years, give me a few more years so that all the border soldiers can use the latest weapons, even if the Turks come, we will not be afraid."

Just when Yang Guang sighed, a soldier came to report when Yanmen closed the door: "His Royal Highness King Jin, there is His Majesty's will." ”

"Just delivered?"

"Yes, the vanguard messenger braved the wind and sand."

The wind and sand outside the pass are big, but into the Yanmen Pass mountains to block, there is no wind and sand after more than ten miles of road, from the inside to Yanmen Pass as long as you survive these ten miles of road, these ten miles are also much smaller than the wind and sand of Shuozhou City.

"Come in."

The person was invited in, but the person who came made Yang Guang smile, it was the martial master of his house, Li Che.

"The last general, Li Che, see His Royal Highness the King of Jin."

"Hurry up, no need to be polite, why are you coming over this time."

Yang Guang was a little strange, according to the time, even if he walked slowly, Li Che should have set off more than ten days later than himself when he came to the will, how could he have the will in such a short time.

Yang Guang pulled Li Che to sit down, Li Che drank a sip of water, shook off the dust on his body and sat down: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, Your Majesty has a new will, and ordered me to go to Taiyuan Mansion first and lead five thousand elite soldiers to support His Highness." ”

"Great, now we are in a big war with the Turks, blocked by the wind and sand, and with the help of 5,000 elite soldiers, we can defeat the Turks."
