Overwhelming mountains and rivers

"Your Highness, it's not good. Most of the soldiers in the army are suffering from fatigue and are vulnerable to a single blow. We've been fooled!" Yu Jia hurriedly entered the army tent with an ugly expression on her face.

"Liu Guanglong! He turned me into an army, looking for death! Presumably, Chu Xuanzhao has already come this way," Girgis gritted his teeth, "It's not too late, Yu Jia, quickly gather those soldiers who have not been recruited. , we withdraw!"

"Your Highness!? That's the 10,000+ army! We, why don't we let those who are okay protect—"

"It's useless, it should be discarded! Since it will slow you down, just fend for yourself! Is it possible that the main hall will accompany them to wait for death? Keep the green hills, don't be afraid of no firewood, bring the rest of the people, hurry up Get out of here!"

Yu Jia hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded heavily, "...Yes, Your Highness."

…………

There were severed skulls and broken limbs everywhere, and when the sun was rising, half the sky was stained with blood, and it was hard to tell whether the morning glow was redder or the blood was redder.

The Tuojia army, who was exhausted and exhausted, was killed by Dayuan's soldiers and horses overnight, leaving only fragments all over the place.

The banner had long been torn, and Xue Ziming stepped on it, and the word 'Tuojia' instantly became blurred.

"Your Majesty, I have seen it. This is about half of Tuojia's soldiers and horses. It's a pity..."

Chu Xuanzhao withdrew the knife on his wrist, looked at Xue Ziming's blood-stained face, "What's the pity?"

Xue Ziming waved his spear, and the red tassels seemed to be more brightly stained with blood, "Unfortunately, Gergis ran away, and he took away most of the food and grass... Otherwise, I will kill you more happily in the end." , The last general is pointing at His Majesty's reward."

Chu Xuanzhao looked to the northwest and smiled slowly, "So what if he runs? Sooner or later he will die. Not today, but one day he will. If he dies easily, I will wonder if he is Gergis."

Xue Ziming also smiled, "Your Majesty is right. Your Majesty, do you want to continue marching?"

Chu Xuanzhao shook his head, "No, don't be impatient. Pass down the order, set up a military tent, and rest in place."

Xue Ziming cupped his fists, "Yes."

He didn't take a few steps, Chu Xuanzhao said in surprise, "Hey, by the way, why are you wandering around beside me? Where's Cheng Zhiteng?"

Xue Ziming pouted, "Your Majesty, do you hate me so much?"

Chu Xuanzhao smiled faintly, "If you change your mouth, I may change your opinion. That's fine, you can pass on the order. When you see Cheng Zhiteng, let him come to see me."

"General Cheng, he is talking to the military division, shall I call him?"

Chu Xuanzhao frowned, "Where is he? I will go there myself."

…………

Cheng Zhiteng was surprised, "Army, are you really not mistaken? Liu Guanglong, who has guarded Mangzhou for more than ten years, is absolutely impossible, impossible!"

Shen Qingjun sighed, "I also hope it's impossible, but hope, after all, it's just hope."

Cheng Zhiteng lowered his head, "...I understand. Military division, although this matter should be handled by the military law, but Liu Guanglong is in the third rank, and I have no right to judge. In my opinion, it is better to report this matter to His Majesty."

"What's the matter?" Chu Xuanzhao came over.

"Your Majesty..." Cheng Zhiteng was hesitant to say anything. After all, the three chief generals were all trusted by His Majesty. Regarding Liu Guanglong's matter, people really didn't know how to speak.

Shen Qingjun glanced at him from top to bottom, seeing that he was not injured, he said, "Your Majesty, it's about Liu Guanglong."

When this matter was mentioned, Chu Xuanzhao's face was not very good-looking, "There is no need to discuss it. Kill!"

Cheng Zhiteng was shocked, "Your Majesty?"

Your Majesty already knows?Kill directly?

Chu Xuanzhao exhaled blood, mixed with blood, and his voice was a bit cold, "On the day I ascended the throne, I issued a nine-kill order. Those who collaborate with the enemy and treason will be killed without pardon. There is no room for turning around after killing without pardon. But there are advantages and disadvantages. To prevent others from framing and murdering, I will personally judge the nine-kill order. The military adviser has already reached a conclusion with me about Liu Guanglong, and I cannot keep him."

Cheng Zhiteng wanted to say more, but Shen Qingjun shook his head at him, "General, don't be reckless."

According to the Nine Kills Order, once convicted, there is no need to kill on the spot, and one of the gauges, who forcibly acts as his intercede, will be punished with the same crime.

"Cheng Zhiteng, where is Liu Guanglong? Let him come to see me."

Cheng Zhiteng sighed, "...I'll look for it."

Cheng Zhiteng turned around, Chu Xuanzhao's voice was serious, and Cheng Zhiteng's back felt a little chilled, "Cheng Zhiteng, I know that you value righteousness and have known Liu Guanglong for many years, but this matter is not trivial. When you see him, bring him here. No, I made a mistake for a moment. It's not worth it for him."

Cheng Zhiteng lowered his head slightly, without turning around, and said in a deep voice, "Yes, Your Majesty."

For a moment, he really wanted to find Liu Guanglong first and let him go, but that kind of thought was just a flash, and his reason told him, no.

"I have ordered you to go down and take a tent to rest. You can go to rest in a while. Now that you have left the customs, it is better to stay in the customs. I am afraid that I will wrong you."

Shen Qingjun smiled helplessly, "It's so delicate. Don't think so much."

Chu Xuanzhao raised his hand, looked at the splashed blood on his hand, and took it back, "I'm the one who got you hurt."

If it wasn't for him, Shen Qingjun would probably still be in Jade Garden in the south of the Yangtze River, or Chenyin Pavilion in Mount Mang, holding a cup of tea and enjoying the apricot blossoms.

How could it be like now, following the army, killing blood on the battlefield, eating and sleeping in the open.

…………

"Liu Guanglong, do you know the crime?"

The main tent was already set up, Chu Xuanzhao moved Shen Qingjun into the main tent on the grounds that the military tent was tight and it was convenient to discuss the war situation with the military adviser.

Cheng Zhiteng and Xue Ziming also shared the same military tent, and some of the soldiers below shared the same tent. Therefore, everyone did not have much opinion on Chu Xuanzhao's proposal.

At this time, Liu Guanglong knelt down, and Chu Xuanzhao sat there above him, giving him a cold and condescending look, which made him a little stressed.

As for Shen Qingjun, he turned his back to this side alone, sitting in the corner on the other side, studying a parchment scroll, which was Tuojia's topographical map.

"Master, I don't know what His Majesty's words mean."

Chu Xuanzhao sneered, "I don't know what you mean? Liu Guanglong, I ask you, how did Gergis know about the Kongming lantern? Why did he send someone to destroy the lantern?"

Liu Guanglong lowered his eyes and said coldly, "The three generals all know about this matter. The people on both sides of the border have also notified in advance. Anyone may leak the news to Gergis. Why does your majesty insist that it is the last general's action! "

Chu Xuanzhao was so angry that he stood up, this Liu Guanglong, even now, dares to speak cleverly and sophistry!

Seeing that Chu Xuanzhao was about to step forward and ask directly, a cold voice suddenly sounded, "What about the formation of Yin and Yang?"

Liu Guanglong turned his head, saw that the man didn't turn his head back, still lowered his head, looked at the things in his hands, and couldn't help but choked his neck, "I don't know! I'm not the only one who knows about this, so they couldn't tell Gergis? "

Chu Xuanzhao was so angry that he smiled, "Liu Guanglong, the military adviser only asked about the Yin-Yang formation, why did he say that the Yin-Yang formation was revealed to Gergis? General Liu, you really understand it quite well? Huh?"

Liu Guanglong snapped, "I, I guess too."

Chu Xuanzhao slowly sat back on the stool, "Guess? I didn't know that General Liu still has such a superb ability to comprehend the secrets of heaven!"

Liu Guanglong turned his face away abruptly, pursed his lips tightly, and remained silent.

"Liu Guanglong, I think I have never treated you badly. Why did you do such a thing? Colluding with Tuojia, collaborating with the enemy and treason, really makes my heart cold and my teeth cold!"

Liu Guanglong opened his mouth, but closed it again, without speaking.

Chu Xuanzhao sighed heavily, and rubbed his forehead, "Liu Guanglong, you too, Mr. Dayuan, is it really so important that Tuojia promised you something?"

Liu Guanglong lowered his head, "...Your Majesty, do you know what it's like to be falsely accused of being a spy of Tuojia and die at the hands of Dayuan people even though you are from Dayuan?"

Chu Xuanzhao was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Shen Qingjun, but saw that he raised his head, did not turn around, held the parchment in his hand, and did not move.

"Light... Qingjun."

Shen Qingjun stood up slowly, turned around, and said in a trembling voice, "You mean, I'm accusing you?"

Because his grandfather was falsely accused to death, he hated those who framed Zhongliang the most. Now, some people actually say that he has become that kind of person too! ?

Chu Xuanzhao walked up to him in two steps, stretched out his hand to hold him tightly, "Qingjun, don't worry, I'll ask again, I know, you can't make a mistake..."

Chu Xuanzhao turned his face and stared at Liu Guanglong very gloomyly. Just as he was about to speak, Liu Guanglong shook his head feebly, "No, you didn't falsely accuse me, I was secretly dealing with Gergis... But, I too There is no way! I hate! I hate Dayuan! I even hate that I am actually a Dayuan person! My parents, they are clearly good people, but they were falsely accused by the sergeant as Tuojia spies, killing good people and taking meritorious service! Your Majesty, such a Dayuan, how can I be loyal? A spy? Then I will be a spy, a big spy! I climbed to this position step by step just to be a spy! Your Majesty, are you satisfied?"

Chu Xuanzhao said nothing for a long time, and after a long while, he sighed, "Your parents were murdered, yes, it was the court's fault. But you, blinded by hatred, are you really innocent? You are in Mangzhou For more than ten years, I have been hiding for a long time, waiting for the opportunity to move. But you can ask yourself, is being a spy makes you happy, or is being a guardian for more than ten years makes you more happy..."

Liu Guanglong knelt on the ground, "But I hate it. For more than ten years, I also thought about it, just like this, to be a general, to continue... But every time I think about it, I hate it. So, when Gergis found me a year ago At the time, I didn't even think about it, so I agreed..."

Shen Qingjun blocked Chu Xuanzhao's hand, and walked to Liu Guanglong's side, "Don't forget, your parents are also the Dayuan people you hate the most."

Liu Guanglong's body suddenly went paralyzed, as if the false image he had been trying to deceive himself for a long time was torn away, "No..., no. I, I just want them to know that I took revenge on the Dayuan army for them, so they can rest in peace."

"They died in the name of spies, but their sons became spies, so they really won't rest in peace."

"No, no! What do you know, what do you know? You are nothing more than standing and talking without back pain. How can you understand my hatred?"

don't know?I don't understand?What are your parents compared to the death of my grandfather!Killing the good and taking the meritorious deeds is a one-shot killing. My grandfather is not only a person of Dayuan, but also the guardian of Dayuan.

What right do you have to complain here!

Seeing Shen Qingjun in a daze, Chu Xuanzhao felt anxious and tugged at his arm, "Qingjun, you go out for a walk first, and come back after I have dealt with him, okay?"

Shen Qingjun broke his hand and said coldly, "Your Majesty, I want to stay and watch him die. I can also hold the knife on behalf of Your Majesty."

"Young Lord!"

"I hope Your Majesty will be fulfilled."

Liu Guanglong was in a daze, and had no time to care about the address and intimacy of Chu Xuanzhao and Shen Qingjun. He knelt down slowly and kowtowed to Chu Xuanzhao, "Your Majesty, I have committed an unforgivable crime. I implore Your Majesty to reward you." A whole corpse."

Chu Xuanzhao glanced at Shen Qingjun, saw that he lowered his eyes, said nothing more, sighed, and nodded slowly, "...Okay."

Chu Xuanzhao took out the arm knife, unscrewed it again, threw it in front of Liu Guanglong, turned around, "You, break it yourself."

Liu Guanglong kowtowed again, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
