Chapter 89 In the Helan Mountains
Soon, Di Ruyan and the fake Di Chun helped the postman, who was still weak after waking up from serious injuries, into the living room.
Under Di Renjie's inquiry, Wang Xiaojie's deputy general Wang Tiehan, who was pretending to be a postman, also said that the dozen or so Tongbao newspapers he had sent before were all in vain. Not even one of the postmen who delivered the Tongbao came back. In the end, only the Ministry of War sent them back.
A series of ultimatums urging the attack.
According to Wang Tiehan's account, when he set out to send the report, the army had already stayed outside Dongxi Shigu for more than ten months. The weather was getting colder and colder, but there was no supply of food, clothing, and grass, which made the army dispirited.
The reason why there was not enough food and grass for the soldiers was because Qiu Jing, the governor of Chongzhou who was in charge of transporting supplies, was at odds with Wang Xiaojie. He used the excuse that the army was delayed for too long and he did not prepare so much food for the soldiers. In the end, Qiu Jing was in a hurry.
He actually tied up the general Ya who went to deliver the letter and sent him back.
Wang Xiaojie had no choice but to send a newspaper to the court asking for help, but he received no response. A few days before New Year's Eve, half of the army was injured and unable to fight. It could be said that it was defeated before the battle.
As a last resort, Wang Xiaojie sent his deputy general Wang Tiehan to rush to Beijing six hundred miles away. Unexpectedly, when he arrived at Helan Yi, he discovered that it had been occupied by a group of people in purple.
"What? Helan Yi was occupied?" Even though he had already known about this, Di Renjie couldn't help but change his face slightly when Wang Tiehan said this. After Wang Tiehan nodded to confirm, he couldn't help but look at Zhou You beside him.
Take a look.
Wang Tiehan, who desperately fought his way out of the siege, was chased by the men in purple and fought for more than ten years. He was seriously injured before he was lucky enough to be saved by Di Ruyan.
Moreover, Wang Tiehan also said that those people in purple were not Khitans, but Han people. From this, it can be seen that this matter is the same as the original Youzhou case. It is a huge conspiracy carefully planned by internal and external collusion.
When Di Ruyan and fake Di Chun sent Wang Tiehan to rest, Zhou You and Di Renjie were analyzing and talking about the matter when Li Yuanfang suddenly hurried over: "Sir, it's not good, the assassin we caught last night escaped.
"
"What? Escaped? How did you escape?" Di Renjie asked in surprise, and Li Yuanfang immediately said: "He wounded the two leading soldiers who were guarding them and used Qinggong to escape."
Di Renjie subconsciously looked at Zhou You after hearing this, and Zhou You couldn't help but frown and said: "He was seriously injured by me last night, and he recovered so quickly? It seems that this mysterious force is really capable, and that person is not just someone who understands Yi
Rongshu and Qinggong are so simple."
"In just one day and one night, such a serious injury can be recovered quickly?" Di Renjie said with a frown, and then said: "Well, even if such a dead soldier is kept, I probably won't be able to learn anything from him.
of."
Zhou You said a little unwillingly: "I was careless! I thought that there were eight military leaders and Qianniu Guards guarding the mansion, so he couldn't escape, so I didn't rush to send him to the prison of the inner guards.
I went to interrogate him, but I didn’t expect him to escape like that.”
After the court meeting the next day, Di Renjie was appointed by Wu Zetian as the Marching Marshal of Hebei Province and the Grand Governor of Chongzhou. He took charge of Chongzhou affairs and led the main force of the left guard to Chongzhou, first to keep the strong bandits under the city, and secondly to investigate the case and
Grant the right to do things cheaply!
At the same time, Li Yuanfang, the leader of the Inner Guard Pavilion, traveled around and the Qianniu Guards Lieutenant General Li Yuanfang was also ordered to follow Di Renjie to protect him and assist Di Renjie in investigating the Chongzhou case.
The Qianniu Guards in the capital rushed to Chongzhou to deliver the decree on the emperor's order, blaming Chongzhou Governor Qiu Jing for not being familiar with military affairs and not considering the overall situation. He actually ignored the soldiers of the three armies, resorted to private revenge in times of crisis, and refused to provide food and grass for the army.
He was subdued, resulting in the disastrous defeat of Youweiwei's army. He was immediately dismissed from the post of governor and ordered Qianniuwei to escort him to Beijing to await disposal.
In order to find out more about the Chongzhou case, I received the holy order to travel around. After going to Di Mansion to have a detailed talk with Di Renjie, I set off overnight, preparing to go to Helanyi to investigate first, and then rushed to Chongzhou to meet Di Renjie.
A few days later, in Helan Mountain, I heard the cry of killing. I rode my horse to a mountain top to investigate. I saw many corpses of Qianniu Guards on the ground in the canyon. A group of officers and soldiers were fighting with some people in purple.
They fought hard and quickly eliminated those people in purple clothes.
After Zhou You turned his horse around and went down the mountain, the officers and soldiers had already divided up to send away the prisoners escorted by the Qianniu Guard. The leading officer and army general ordered the remaining officers and soldiers to check whether there were any survivors at the scene.
Just when they were about to leave, Zhou You finally appeared at the exit of the canyon and rode towards them on horseback.
"Who are you?" the leader of the group, the bearded general, asked Zhou Youhe.
"Looking at your clothes, you should be a general in the Right Guards, right? I wonder what the general is called?" Zhou You asked without answering.
The bearded general couldn't help but change his face slightly when he heard this: "Who are you? How can you recognize the color of my armor?"
"It was Qiu Jing that your people sent away just now, right?" Zhou You continued to ask, hearing General Qiu-bearded's expression change again, and he subconsciously blurted out: "How did you know..."
Seeing how he suddenly realized something and hurriedly stopped, Zhou You couldn't help but said: "How could the people escorted by Qianniu Guards be ordinary people? In this Helan Mountain, except for Qiu Jing who was escorted by Qianniu Guards to the capital for investigation and disposal
, who else could it be?”
"How do you know this? Who are you? What are you doing here?" The bearded general became more and more surprised and suspicious.
Zhou You still didn't answer his words, but got off his horse and went to the side to look at the bodies of the Qianniu Guards and the men in purple. He quickly turned to look at the beard general and said, "These Qianniu Guards were killed by swords."
, most of them only had one or two fatal wounds, which shows that the people who killed them were not ordinary people, they should be these people in purple, right? And you led people to kill these people in purple, am I right?"
"Did you see what happened in the valley just now?" General Qiubeard instinctively thought that Zhou You had seen the previous fighting in the valley.
"I only saw your people killing those people in purple clothes," Zhou Youze said: "I didn't expect that a general from the Youwei Guards would come to rescue Qiu Jing. It really surprised me! It seems that, and
Not everyone thinks that the Youwei Guards' defeat of Dongxi Shiguqiujing was the culprit."
"Of course not. This is all because of Wang Xiaojie's poor command. How can you blame Mr. Qiu?" General Qiu said subconsciously, and then he reacted and asked: "How do you know so much?"
"What do you think?" Zhou You asked with a half-smile, then looked at the man in purple lying on several corpses and said, "Boy, how long are you going to lie there and pretend to be dead?"
"What?" The beard-bearded general looked over subconsciously, but when Zhou You saw that the man was still unresponsive, he couldn't help but sneered and walked over, unsheathed his sword like lightning, and stabbed the man in the thigh.
Ah... the shrill screams echoed in the canyon, which seemed very abrupt, and the man in purple who was pretending to be dead finally raised his head with trembling, and cold sweat broke out on his grinning forehead in the blink of an eye.
Come.
"Tell me, who are you and who sent you here?" Zhou You drew out his sword and placed the blood-stained orchid sword on the neck of the man in purple: "If you tell me, you can live. If you don't tell me, then I will
I will break your limbs and throw you into the mountains to feed the wild wolves." If you like the movie and TV show, please bookmark it: (https://www.bajiewx.com) The movie and TV show's showdown search and reading novel network has the fastest update speed on the entire Internet.
