Chapter Ninety-Six: Closing the Heart

Gu Zuo was very curious, and wanted to know what kind of lotus tongue this guy "had" used, saying that the Son of Heaven would kill Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi, in Gu Zuo's heart, this matter had always been a mysterious operation, and it was completely incomprehensible.

So he said, "Oh, let's hear it, why has it not related to you?"

Bian Lingcheng cried: "The loss of Tongguan is due to the disagreement between Naifeng and Gao, who have resentment against His Majesty and have the ambition to surrender to the enemy. Please take down these two people and behead them in front of the army to set an example!"

Gu Zuo waited for a moment and encouraged, "Is there anything else?"

Bian Lingcheng was stunned, and his mind turned sharply: "I have raised 150 million money for Your Majesty, and since Your Majesty has soared, this money should be handed over to the Grand Master." ”

As he spoke, he handed over a storage artifact, which was full of money.

105,000 guan, this is the result of the battle of Bian Lingcheng's army in Tongguan, even if Gu Zuo thinks about it with his toes, he knows that this money should have wiped out the Tongguan treasury and the Tongguan defenders.

Gu Zuo sighed with emotion, at least in this life, one of the series of operations of Bian Ling Cheng Fan has been answered, this money is looted by order, and the initiator can't talk about fainting, people have soared, who do you love!

"Anything else to say?"

"This ......" Bian Lingcheng didn't know what Gu Zuo wanted to hear, so he couldn't answer.

Gu Zuo was very disappointed, Bian Lingcheng only used these two lines to encourage him to condemn Changqing and Gao Xianzhi, which was a bit insulting to his IQ, because he said: "The sergeants are fighting hard, but you are so blackmailed and looted, it is strange that they don't rebel." ”

Bian Lingcheng had already heard it clearly, and argued: "Our family is supervising the army for His Majesty, and we are doing errands on orders, not extortion and looting!"

Gu Zuo stretched out his hand: "Bring the will." ”

Bian Ling cherishes and values the will, which is the reliance of all his actions, and cannot but be cherished.

Gu Zuo looked at it and asked, "The intention is to let you supervise the army, not let you loot." ”

Bian Lingcheng hurriedly said: "Let the sergeants serve, this is Your Majesty's command." ”

Gu Zuo shook his head: "This can't be done, or you go and ask the first emperor to come back and confront you...... yes, I guess you won't come back either...... Gao Jiedu, Bian Lingcheng deceived the army, greedy for military salaries, causing the army to mutiny and lose Tongguan, what do you think should be the crime?"

Gao Xianzhi said hatefully: "When Ling Chi, the first level of the three armies!"

Bian Lingcheng shouted: "Our family acts according to orders, what is the crime?"

Gu Zuo waved his hand: "Just do it according to Gao Jiedu's intentions, drag it down!"

The sergeants were greatly excited, several military schools rushed up, and dragged Bian Lingcheng aside between punches and kicks, Bian Lingcheng was so shocked that he was still shouting injustice, and he screamed again and again after shouting a few words, but it was the sergeants who began to do it, one person and one knife!

When it was cut to more than a hundred knives. Bian Lingcheng was out of breath, and the sergeants still didn't understand their hatred, so they simply surrounded him and chopped him into meat paste, but his head was well preserved, and he was planted with a big flag and held it high for public display. Everywhere the banner went, it caused bursts of cheers.

Gu Zuo instructed Gao Xianzhi's subordinate and the officers above the rank of more than 1,600 defeated soldiers to gather around him, and said to them: "The Son of Heaven is in chaos, and he trusts non-people, and he uses treacherous eunuchs to order Cheng to supervise the army, oppress the soldiers, and humiliate the army, so that Tongguan is lost. The sin is not in the monarchs, in the first emperor, in the court, and in Gu. As a prince, Gu apologizes to all the monarchs on behalf of the imperial court and Jinshang!"

After that, Gu Zuo waved his hands as a salute, bowed to the four sides, and the number of salutes was sincere, which moved the sergeants inexplicably, and they all said: "What do you have to do with the Taishi, it is the thief who does evil!"

Gu Zuo continued: "All the soldiers fought against the rebels, regardless of life and death, bravely killed the enemy, one after another, shed blood and sacrificed, I Gu Zuo swear, as long as I am the Taishi for one day, I will never let the monarchs shed blood and tears!"

The words were said in everyone's hearts, from Gao Xianzhi down, everyone's hearts were warm. Although it was a harsh winter and the wind was bitter, everyone felt extremely ironed, and many people choked up, and there was silence all around, only the faint sound of sobbing could be heard.

Gu Zuo walked around, patted this one's shoulder, wiped the tears with his sleeve, and his eyes were red: "You are all heroes of the imperial court! Now the traitorous eunuch has been awarded, and the grievances have been settled, I hope you will work together to fight to the death against the rebels, and keep our Chang'an and our Tang Dynasty! If you have any grievances, you can come to me Gu Zuo, Gu Zuo will never shirk, no matter how small the soldiers are, for Gu Zuo, it is a big thing!"

After the words were finished, hundreds of people knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "I am willing to serve the death force of the Taishi!"

Gu Zuo nodded, looked at the military academy generals who were kneeling around him, and secretly sighed to himself, they are all good comrades! So he generously said: "Although Tongguan was lost, after the princes fought bravely to kill the enemy and fought to the death, they threw their heads and spilled their blood in order to preserve the vitality of the army, and bought precious time for our army to regain its strength, which is also a great achievement. Meritorious service will be rewarded, this is Gu Zuo's responsibility!"

As he spoke, he opened the storage weapon handed in by Bian Lingcheng, and poured it out on the spot, and the copper coins flowed out of the cuffs, jumping and rolling on the ground, gradually gathering into a three-foot-high mountain of money, almost a third of it was poured out, and it was estimated that there were more than 30 million before it stopped.

Gu Zuo looked around and said, "This money is not enough to make up for your sacrifices, so count me on a little bit of heart." Please reorganize the army with high moderation and distribute the money to the soldiers. ”

The battlefield suddenly thundered with joy, and morale became higher and higher.

The 2,000 defeated soldiers were re-established, all of them were demarcated, handed over to Gao Xianzhi's command, and retreated to Chang'an that night.

On the way, Gao Xianzhi saw Feng Changqing, who came to greet him, and the two generals looked at each other and sighed for a long time.

Feng Changqing withdrew early, and he knew more about the situation in Jingshi, and after telling Gao Xianzhi about it, he said: "You and I used to be loyal dogs of the heavenly family, but as a result, after suffering such a big loss, I thought about it, but there was still no one behind me." ”

Gao Xianzhi seemed to have an understanding: "What do you mean ......?"

Feng Changqing said: "You and I are the generals of the defeated army, if we return to Chang'an like this, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape punishment...... Do you know about Gu Ming's ......order?

Gao Xianzhi nodded and said: "Today, the Taishi personally rescued me, Cui Qianyou cultivated like this, and he was also defeated by the Taishi, and his Taoism is really unfathomable." And the Master is generous, and he knows my difficulties, so I have the intention to worship the disciples. ”

Feng Changqing said: "That's what it means, if you want to get rid of your crimes, you have to rely on the Taishi! Go, go now." ”

The two of them approached Gu Zuo, and after showing their hearts, they bowed their heads, which made Gu Zuo a little surprised: "I heard that Gao Jiedu was originally a disciple of the Liaodong Silla Sect, and he should also be regarded as a side branch of the Baiyun Sect, right?
