Chapter 281: I'll Test You

It is obvious that with such a clever and retro top commander, the morale of the army is not very high. In addition, most of the people in Yongle City have not received any professional training.

Now the city wall has collapsed, and the hearts of the people in the city, who were not very cohesive, have suddenly scattered into a sky full of stars.

"Xu Xi! I'm into your mother! Qu Zhen yelled angrily, fortunately, due to the tight war yesterday, he slept with Jia, just draped in his robe, and ran out of the tent.

The city was already in chaos, and the soldiers were rushing to the wolves without a clear direction. Qu Zhen ran out less than two steps when she saw Li Shunju falling in the mud.

"Li Zhiban!" Qu Zhen immediately stepped forward and prepared to help Li Shunju up.

Li Shunju was a eunuch in the palace, and this time he went to Western Xia, and he was appointed by Zhao Ji of Song Shenzong as the supervisor of Yanlin Road. And he still served as the inner attendant, so the army called him Li Takeban.

"It's Quhou......" Li Shunju sighed, but he was not so frightened, but he was not afraid, "Today's defeat was already expected, but it's a pity that Wang Qi and Xu Xi didn't listen to us." As a person who is still from prison, I have been trusted by the saints, and I am the prisoner of Yanlin Road, and I have been ashamed of my trust in the official family when I suffered this defeat. ”

"Stop talking, Li Zhiban!" Qu Zhen anxiously dragged Li Shunju: "Today's defeat is not your sin, come with me!" ”

"People are inherently dead, and I, as a crippled person, will not hesitate to die, and the general will go by himself, don't be affected by me." Li Shunju said, tore off the placket, found pen and ink from the overturned bookcase on the side, and hastily wrote on the placket: "The minister has nothing to hate, I hope that the official family will not despise this enemy", and then handed the placket to Qu Zhen, and bowed in the mud.

"General Wanwang rushed out of a way to live, and the good instructor knows that the thief should not be taken lightly!" He arched his hand.

Although Li Shunju is a eunuch, he has eggs more than most men.

"Rest assured, this book will be forwarded to the Holy Lord!" Qu Zhen solemnly arched his hand to Li Shun, took the reins from his own soldiers, and ordered all the men and horses to prepare to break through.

He didn't plan to save Xu Xi, in his opinion, Xu Xi's death was not a pity. Today's failure in the northwest, 90 percent of the pot will be on him, Shen Kuo will be divided into 9 percent, and the remaining 1 percent will be cultivated.

But in my heart, Qu Zhen is not to blame. Put yourself in your shoes, and he won't come to help. At that time, the loss of troops will be small, and it will be a big matter to hold the pot of defeat on one's body.

Don't underestimate the literati, they are the best at this.

Why didn't Xu Xi, the old boy, die for a good person? Damn it......

Seeing Qu Zhen break through, Li Shunju showed a relieved smile.

In the blink of an eye, the Western Xia rushed into the defenseless city, and the fierce soldiers roared with hideous faces, holding steel knives and wantonly slaughtering the Song soldiers and civilians who were rushing to the wolves.

Li Shunju saw a fierce-faced Western Xia soldier rushing towards him with a steel knife, the scimitar was held high, the sun was shining, and it was full of cold light.

The steel knife fell, but it was different from what Li Shunju thought.

It wasn't at him, but a large blood hole suddenly appeared in the head of the Xixia soldier, spraying his stinky blood and brains, and then, the steel knife fell softly to the ground with a clanging sound.

Before Li Shunju could understand what was going on, the sound of fried beans exploded, occasionally mixed with deafening explosions.

He got up and looked around, and saw a group of soldiers dressed in strange costumes and under the banner of "Song", defeating the Tangut people like a decrepit. The soldiers did not fight at close range, but knelt down on one knee, holding something like a musket, and sent a flash of fire at the Tanguts, and the Tanguts who were pointed at fell to the ground and could not move.

"This ...... What kind of evil law is this? The commander of Western Xia, Ye Weima, looked at the fires that harvested life in disbelief, victory was already close at hand, why did he fall from heaven to hell all of a sudden?

There wasn't much time left for him to think, because in his vision, a strange beast appeared.

The giant beast was green all over and had a strange appearance, and Fang Bian's head was actually like an elephant, with a long snout, and it was galloping in his direction with the momentum of crushing heaven and earth.

Ye Fuma was horrified to find that even the most elite iron harrier could not stop the steel giant beast for even a moment. The saber slashed at the giant beast's body, bringing bursts of fire, and then the people and horses were completely crushed into the dirt, turning into spring mud to protect the flowers.

The iron armor on his body was like a piece of paper, which had no protective effect, and under the crush of the steel beast, even the saber made of stainless steel was crushed along with the skull.

Under the attack of the Kaibao Song army, it was only a matter of time before it surrendered. Although Lao Zhao sent motorized cavalry to chase and kill, a small number of Western Xia soldiers escaped and went back to report the news.

It doesn't matter if you report the news, Zhao Kuangyin doesn't care.

Outside the city, the Kaibao Song army was cleaning up the battlefield. For prisoners of war, they insisted on staying as long as they could, staying as the main mining force; As for those lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, then they would really be dead, and the soldiers turned over the corpses and mended their guns one by one.

Soon, under Zhao Kuangyin's order, Xu Xi and other high-ranking members of the Song army were brought to him.

With Zhao Zhen sitting on the side, no one doubted the identity of this unit. The people present were all old ministers of the court, and the first emperor could still recognize them - although he was a little younger.

"The ministers knock on the officials! Thank you for the life-saving grace of the official family! Xu Xi and the others knelt on the ground with tears in their eyes and thanked Zhao Zhen for saving his life.

"Don't be busy thanking me yet, and don't rush to worship me, you have to see this one first." Zhao Zhen stepped aside and introduced to them: "This is my Emperor Taizu of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

The ministers looked at each other, but it didn't seem so difficult to accept the fact that Emperor Renzong, who had been dead for several years, could return like lightning and Emperor Taizu also came over.

Just as they were bowing, someone suddenly stood up and said angrily: "Emperor Taizu is above!" The last general Qu Zhen, there is a participation! ”

"Say, I'll listen." Zhao Kuangyin said.

"In the end, I will participate in this Xu Xi dog thief, if it weren't for this ambitious, talented, pedantic and incompetent dog thief, how could we experience such a defeat!" Qu Zhen glared at Xu Xi viciously, as if she wanted to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin.

Qu Zhen's hatred can be completely understood, a blind intervention like Xu Xi, who is particularly pedantic, and extremely self-righteous, even if it is chopped into meat sauce, it is difficult to eliminate the hatred in his heart.

There was Xu Xi's proof, Gao Yongneng also immediately stood up, knelt on the ground and bitterly stated: "Your Majesty Taizu, the last general can also testify, this Xu Xi is ...... Even if he is ambitious and talented, the last general would never have imagined that the Great Song Dynasty has been established for a hundred years, and there are still people who can fight with the mentality of the Spring and Autumn Period, isn't this a mistake? Pity the lives of tens of thousands of people in this city, just because of Xu Xi alone, and die in Huangquan, it is also sad! ”

Gao Yongneng was very thoughtful, first of all, although Emperor Taizu said that he emphasized literature and light martial arts, but after all, he was born as a military general, and he knew one, two, three, four, five, how to fight. Since this is the case, then Emperor Taizu must be able to distinguish right from wrong.

"What's wrong with me?" Xu Xiwu sneered to himself: "You wait for a martial artist, you only know how to shirk your responsibility, you are cowardly before you fight, I am a civil official, and I have to wait for more courage!" The so-called generals are just a group of gutless rats! ”

"Into the mother!" When Qu Zhen heard this, he couldn't hold back any longer, he stiffened up with a carp, flew and pounced on Xu Xi, and slapped him in the face with a straight fist.

This time the fight was solid, Xu Xi felt as if he had been in a carriage for ten days and ten nights, and the feeling of the world spinning came up.

"You...... How dare you hit me? Xu Xi asked tremblingly.

"Hehe, I didn't dare to beat you before, because you were a favorite of the court official's family; Now that Emperor Taizu is in person, I see who can protect you! Dog Cai, return my life to Song Haoerlang! Qu Zhen sneered, and another punch hit Xu Xi's eye socket.

"Hey, hey, wait a minute." Zhao Kuangyin said to stop: "Who is that, your name is ......"

He pointed at Qu Zhen and chatted for a long time, but he didn't know who the other party was.

"The last general, Qu Zhen." Qu Zhen knew that Lao Zhao didn't know him, so he immediately introduced himself.

"Qu Zhen is it, well, you come here." He beckoned to Qu Zhen.

Qu Zhen didn't know why, and walked to Zhao Kuangyin's side.

I saw Zhao Kuangyin touch it from his arms, took out a pill and handed it to Qu Zhen: "This medicine, feed that Xu Xi to eat, you don't start lightly or heavily, and then beat people to death......"

Seeing Qu Zhen's puzzlement, Zhao Kuangyin smiled and stroked his back and comforted: "As long as you take this pill, no matter how seriously he is injured, he will not die!" ”

Qu Zhen's eyes lit up when he heard this, he glanced at Zhao Kuangyin, and then at Xu Xi, revealing Tom Cat's standard evil smile.

He walked over and stuffed the pill into Xu Xi's mouth.

Xu Xi had been hit twice by the cannon, and his brain was dizzy, but after taking the pill, he instantly woke up, he retreated in horror, and asked in an astringent voice, "You...... What are you doing?

"What? It's nothing, I just want your surname Xu to taste the suffering of those soldiers! Qu Zhen stretched out his hand and patted Xu Xi's face: "Don't worry, with the medicine given by Emperor Taizu, you won't die so quickly, you will go through all the suffering of those innocent soldiers, and the last general will consider letting you suffer less!" ”

When Xu Xi heard this, he couldn't help but ask angrily: "Qu Zhen! You thief with an army! Are you going to be presumptuous in front of Emperor Taizu! Who gave you the guts! ”

"Thieves with troops? Haha......" Qu Zhen laughed sadly twice: "Which one of my military academies is not a good man who fights to the death for the country, in your eyes, is it difficult to become a thief with an army?" ”

Xu Xi sneered: "The roll call under Donghua is a good man, you are just a thief with his head on the waistband of his trousers!" ”

Qu Zhen, who was angry by Xu Xi's words, was about to speak, but saw Zhao Kuangyin raise his hand and signal him to shut up.

Old Zhao Ruying's eyes stared at Xu Xi, and asked coldly: "I am also from the army, could it be that I am also a thief in your eyes?" ”

This sentence really stopped Xu Xi.

The scholars of the Song Dynasty had a strange self-esteem, they thought that they were the eldest and they were the second. It is they who rule the world with the emperor, and the world can lack martial artists, but it cannot lack scholars.

This also cultivated a subtle concept, that is, everything is inferior, only if you read high, you don't take the Jinshi exam, and dare to call yourself a hero?

Military? Don't make trouble, literati can't govern the army? Look at Fan Wenzhenggong, in the northwest, let the western thieves chill, can't wait alone?

"If you don't speak, ah, if you don't speak, I'll acquiesce to you." Zhao Kuangyin sneered twice and shook his finger at Qu Zhen: "How to deal with insulting the Son of Heaven, you should know, if I knew that he had lived less than twenty years, I would use you to make up for it!" ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Kuangyin's gaze was even colder.

He is serious, you dare to look down on martial artists today, I think you scholars are good men, then I dare not think about who you dare to look down on tomorrow!

Suddenly, someone stood up and said: "Your Majesty Taizu, I have ancestral training in the Great Song Dynasty, and I don't kill the scholars......

"Who's this fang?" Zhao Kuangyin interrupted him and pointed at him and asked.

Damn, you mentioned the ancestral teachings to Lao Tzu? Who came up with Zu Xun, you don't know in your heart?

"Tell Your Majesty Taizu, this Li Ji also," Gao Yongneng immediately stood up and pointed out: "The day before yesterday, the last general proposed to him that he should hand over more money and wealth to the soldiers to break through, but this fang and Xu Xi snakes and rats are in a nest, and they don't adopt the general's opinion at all!" even insulted the last general for being greedy for life and afraid of death! ”

"Oh, Li Ji." Zhao Kuangyin nodded, he knew Li Ji.

He flipped to Li Ji's record and read it aloud: "Li Ji took his father's shadow as the general as the chief bookkeeper and served as a ...... Qin Min as a person on the side of the road, created a "street money", all the way to disturb grievances, Li Ji and Richard are known for their cruelty, the people of the time said: 'Rather kill in the dark, Mo Fengji, Cha'. ”

"I can't see it, you're still a cool official." Zhao Kuangyin smiled gloomily at Li Ji: "Then I have a question to test you today, you said that my ancestor of the Great Song Dynasty, yes, it is the ancestor of the doctor who does not kill scholars, who brought it up?" ”

"Yes......" Li Ji realized that it was his mother Emperor Taizu in front of him!

"Yes...... Emperor Taizu, you ......" Li Ji said worriedly, and only then did he realize how much mistake he had just made.

Gao Yong on the side looked at him with the eyes of a warrior, vocal, you dare to use the ancestral training to suppress the current emperor, forget it, you suppress the Taizu Emperor......

Is it that he Song Taizu can't lift the knife, or is Li Ji floating away?

"How dare you use my words against me? Li Ji? Zhao Kuangyin's expression was very similar to Severus Snape, who had eaten a sharp shot.

It should be said that the two suffered similarly. Zhao Kuangyin was suppressed by the ancestral teachings he had set up, and Snape was given biu by the spell he had created.

"Minister...... Death to all ministers! Li Ji's sweat is like rain, and the end of the arrogance with the common people is now gone.

Now he regrets it very much, why did he come out to be this bird?
