The happy life of the devil and the devil

Cao Jia gritted her teeth to hold back tears, and flicked her whip desperately to spur the horse.

The blood splashed by the brother in the same robe was sprayed on the back of the neck. It has been three days. When the wind blows, I can still feel the warmth of the wetness; Tell your lord, go!—let your lord avenge us!"

I only hate, I only hate that he is not in the army at the moment!

He and his elder brother Chen Xu, who died three days ago, were both from Xiaohe Village, Dingzhou, Northern Xinjiang.They grew up without taking anything away, became horse thieves at the border together, and were recruited by adults together... Read and wrote, fought and promoted together.The adults came to Beiliang, and the two brothers followed without even thinking about it.They came over but failed to form an army. General Xia Bai, who was in charge of intelligence under your lord, summoned them. Afterwards, both of them took off their military uniforms and became two young escorts of the Mighty Escort.

Born as horse thieves, they are nimble and fierce, and they are one of the best scouts in the Northern Xinjiang Army.In the years of following the adults, the soldiers in the team taught them how to draw simple maps, how to mark the roads of mountains and water sources, and how to write down everything that is helpful for marching...

General Xia Bai said: "You are the eyes and ears of your lord. In the future, our army will travel all over Beiliang, relying on everything you do now."

Ling Yucheng came to Beiliang with Yuan Shao. Before leaving his homeland, he bought a lot of things, especially the tea, bricks and silk that Beiliang urgently needed. By selling these goods, he supported the Xuanjia army's expenses in the first few months.However, Qingzhou is barren, with little production and few merchants.As for the local area, within the [-] counties of a prefecture, there are only a handful of merchants who can eat a large number of goods and then sell them to the western counties and even the grasslands.

At that time, half of the people running around in the cold wind and heavy snow were local business travelers in Qingzhou, and the other half received the capital of Xuanjiawei—of course, in the form of goods—and then shared with the military after selling the money. of various caravans.Of course, since he received the capital, Xuanjiawei sent a few accountants to follow, which is also the meaning of the title.As for those escort agencies that are betting on goods, and those escort agencies on the ground in Qingzhou who are begging for life, who dares to refuse the master's order?

The local conditions and customs, roads, mountains and rivers, and even prices of special products, changes in weather, just like this, following the footsteps of accountants, clerks, bodyguards, and travellers, are presented in more and more detail in front of the intelligence department in charge of Xia Bai.

Cao Jia and his sworn brother Chen Xu took the route to Yingyangwei.That is to say, starting from Qingzhou, heading north along the gap between Guangwuwei and Tiancewei, exiting the customs and entering the grassland to reach the destination.This road is easy to walk, Guangwuwei is from the family of the Xia people, Tiancewei was brought out by the king of Chu back then, even though Emperor Sejong adopted his nephew to the king of Chu as his heir, so he brought Tiancewei back to the royal family , but the incense and love are always there, it is really embarrassing, please ask Xingwuwei to say hello.

As for the destination, Ying Yangwei is directly under the king of Xi, and below the king of Xi, the nobles, big and small, are the big customers of the caravan.The old man Xi Wang is not old, he has a group of side concubines, and there are many daughters under his knees, silk jewelry and new woolen materials are sold well in their house——

This time Cao Jia and Chen Xu followed the caravan carrying a batch of silk, and something happened three hundred miles away from King Xi's tent just after they set foot on the grassland.

How far is three hundred miles?

One man and three horses gallop as hard as they can, and three hundred miles is a matter of one day and one night; one man and one horse, traveling day and night, can reach it in two days and two nights; ——However, the distance of three hundred miles is enough for thousands of herdsmen to graze, and it is also enough for this border to become a three-way zone between Tian Cewei, Guangwuwei and Yingyangwei.

In other words, some horse thieves will emerge from time to time.

The small group of horse thieves, they have learned a lot in the past six months since they changed their careers as escorts. In other words, the main purpose of the existence of bodyguards is to deter these small groups of horse thieves and robbers.A caravan, including the owner and the treasurer, and counting the assistants and handlebars, is only two to three hundred people, and the bodyguards escorting the car are only a few hundred, and they are only dealing with a small group of enemies.If thousands of people are really going to come, then everyone should stop thinking so much. If you can't agree with the leader of the horse thief to buy road money, just think about how to save your life.

But... Thinking of this, Cao Jia couldn't help gnashing his steel teeth. The gang of horse thieves who surrounded them three days ago clearly consisted of thousands of people!

That's not a horse thief at all!That place can't support those horse thieves who can hold 1000 people!

What's more, the caravan leader is the capital of Xuanjiawei, and the recognition flag given by Xuanjiawei is clearly inserted in the team... In the past few trips to and from the grassland, seeing this flag, even the most ferocious horse thief will quietly leave!

"Xuanjiawei? What's wrong with Xuanjiawei?" Amidst the sound of rustling arrows and more and more intensive screams, the wild laughter of the leader of the horse thief still rang in his ears: "If you annoy your majesty, you can't protect yourself—now the palace The ones favored here are the larks on our grassland!"

An elbow was bumped on the left, and a tightly sealed cloth bag was handed over. Cao Jia recognized that it was a comrade who had come from northern Xinjiang together. He broke an arm in the early spring and retreated. brother.Covered by the crowd, this brother, who didn't even know his name, stared closely at the tall figure hidden behind the horse thief leader, gritted his teeth, and spoke in a low voice:

"I've seen that bastard. When I went to the Xi clan with my lord. It was Kunmo, the head of a small tribe of the Xi clan—it looked like they were going to silence me. I might not be able to rush out. This is me Take some of the things I wrote down and bring them to General Xia Bai for me. Tell your lord to avenge us!"

revenge!

revenge!

From below Lingyu City, the faces of the generals gathered after hearing the news were like water.

"...It's really aimed at me." After a long silence, Ling Yucheng looked away from the full map of Beiliang hanging in the middle of the wall, and smiled coldly.

Of the three caravans that were robbed, one was clearly shot by the Xi Clan, and the other seemed to be the Frostwolf Guards of Naiman who could not escape the murderer. Very good, Yalu Tie seems to be going to learn a lesson again. The beating he received on Big Hunt was obviously not enough.The third one... Ling Yucheng sneered slightly, thinking that he didn't know Shenwuwei had always been close to Hubenwei?

As a result, caravans are afraid to take those routes, let alone buy from him.If it drags on for another two months, the territory's finances will be in deficit.

"It's okay to rob the caravan. You dare to rob even under my banner. After the robbing, even my people will not be spared. If you don't take action to teach them a lesson, those bastards will not even have the word Ling Yucheng." I forgot to write it!——Xi Jun, how many cavalry can Xuanjiawei draw now?"

Those bastards understand Xia Wen's limited, Ling Yucheng three characters, I'm afraid they don't know how to write... Xia Bai bowed his head silently.At the same time, Xi Jun, who sits in Qingzhou and is in charge of the overall situation of the territory, stepped forward, punched his heart with his right hand, and replied without hesitation:

"My lord, the 5000 children we brought here are all cavalry. Among the newly recruited soldiers, [-] cavalry can go into battle. After deducting the need to guard the territory, it is not a problem to deploy [-] people. We only need to wait for the order of the lord!"

"Okay——Xi Jun, Luo Sha, and He Liu! Each will bring [-] cavalry, and the whole army will set out tomorrow! Teach me to the death of those fake horse thieves and robbers!"

"Yes!"

The sound of the fist hitting the chest nail was as neat as a sound.

"Damn!"

There was another crisp sound, a cup fell to the ground and smashed to pieces, followed by a loud bang that shook the whole hall.The terrified courtiers looked up and saw that half of His Majesty's luxurious rosewood throne was smashed against the wall, while the other half had collapsed silently into dust.

In mid-May, Huben Guard reported: Dayu invaded.

On May 23, Ling Yucheng refused to go out and left Qingzhou.

On June [-], the news that three caravans were robbed and killed was sent back to Qingzhou by Kuai Ma.

And when Yuan Shao received the report of Ling Yucheng's dispatch of troops, it was already June 25th, and the three teams ordered to "suppress the bandits" had already finished their raids, and they were about to return to their fief...

"very good……"

Yuan Shao flipped through the reports of King Xi, King Naiman and General Shenwu, and the more he read, the more angry he became.

"Your Majesty, Xuanjiawei actually set fire to the mountains...the two mountains were burnt red, and the fire spread for a hundred miles!" - this was General Shenwu's complaint.

"Your Majesty, a few horse thieves passed by and snatched one, so they slaughtered the whole town together! Two big families in the town have been wiped out!" - this is the scream of King Naiman.

"Your Majesty, Xuanjiawei completely wiped out three of my tribes! Young and strong men, they cut off everything taller than a wheel! When I arrived, there were three mountains of human heads piled up on the ground! Thousands of A human head is too horrible to look at, Your Majesty!" King Xi's memorial was crying out in blood and tears, and those who heard it were sad and those who saw it wept.

Not to mention the impeachment documents piled up more than a foot high on the imperial case.

"The caravan was robbed and it wasn't you who was robbed. You wouldn't write a letter asking the local lords to arrest the thieves? Even if they were obedient and obedient, you wouldn't go up and let me uphold justice? Send troops without saying hello , you don’t care about me! ——I told you to fight Yu Xia, you can’t do it because you have your homeland in your heart, and it’s very refreshing for you to send troops because of internal strife in your own family!"

...I dare not shout out a single word of these words at the meeting.

When the emperor was in his place, he was really aggrieved to the point of internal injury.

After calming down, Yuan Shao began to recite silently for the thousand and one time in his heart: "That's the queen, that's not a courtier. That's the queen, that's not a courtier, that's not a courtier, that's not a courtier..."

There has to be a deal with the yelling, and how can the guy who doesn't pay attention to him send troops without authorization how to deal with it?

Penalty?This guy Ling Yucheng only has a territory and no salary.Well, it's his fault that he didn't receive a salary from the harem as a queen...he shouldn't have saved such a small amount of money...

Demotion?Don't be ridiculous, that's the queen, how do you demote her?Relegated to concubine?The surrounding countries will really see the joke.

Guanzhao Prison?His mother taught him with history books since he was a child, "There are queens who were given to death in the world, queens who were abolished as monks, and queens who were not imprisoned and insulted by their subordinates. If you really want to do this, unless the country doesn't want to lose face... "

Shouting and shouting?It is not a problem for any courtier to take out dozens of whips, but the queen's words... or his mother's words, the country doesn't want it anymore?It's another matter to take a few random slaps while practicing martial arts with him, but now people can't reach him thousands of miles away.

Self-reflection?It doesn't matter if he is in the capital, but now in Qingzhou, is it really necessary to carry him all the way and throw him to Li Palace for reflection? ——Eh, something seems wrong?

The seventeen or eighteen punishments available to courtiers are useless.

Really.Why is Ling Yucheng his queen?You can't beat him even now, so let's scold him a few words, the edict scolding him will definitely fall on deaf ears, and it will be a shame not to use the edict to wipe the table...

do not care!It's okay to let him roll to the capital first!Let's make it clear, it's fine to plead guilty, plead guilty, accept punishment and accept punishment!There must be an explanation for sending troops without authorization, otherwise those local lords will follow suit!

Before the gate of the palace was closed that day, a decree was expedited for six hundred miles and sent directly to Qingzhou:

Order Ling Yucheng to go to Beijing to plead guilty.

Take a hundred guards with you.The rest of the soldiers and horses, whoever takes a step out of Qingzhou without permission, will be shot to death!
