Weilu City.
The news that Luo Jing was missing was concealed by the sergeants. These sergeants knew why Luo Jing left and where he went. When Luo Jing grabbed the horse, they even pretended to be injured and fell to the ground.
The sergeant has gone missing and the war horse is missing. This is a big deal and cannot be concealed. But the commander, Shi Fuchen, was not doing his job properly and was playing songs every night. Even the sergeants of the Security Bureau were indulging in drinking and debauchery. The generals on duty came in late and left early. Their eyesight was dim, so it would be strange to notice.
Qianhu Zhang Nan stood on the city wall, looking at the vast world of ice and snow, silent.
Many soldiers were indignant after Liang Xian's death, but Commander Shi was colluding with many generals, so what could the soldiers do if they were extremely dissatisfied?
If they really rebelled, wouldn't they have taken advantage of Fu Chen and others' thoughts and established Liang Xian's unfounded charges?
Zhao De walked towards Zhang Nan, stood at the crenel, let the cold wind blow, and said softly: "I know you let Luo Jing go."
Zhang Nan's pupils condensed and he slowly looked at Zhao De.
Zhao De did not turn his head, but just looked at the silver-covered mountains and rivers in the distance: "Don't worry, Commander Fu and the others don't know about it."
Zhang Nan put his hand on the waist knife and said in a low voice: "What does Zhao Qianhu mean?"
Zhao De sighed, pointed at his feet, and said sadly: "This is Weilu City. The only people worthy of the word Weilu are Liang Xian and the soldiers who fought bloody battles. I look down on Liang Xian's stubbornness and seriousness. I looked down on him for not knowing how to cater to his superiors and insisting on his own way. But after he died, I realized that the shameful person was not him who dedicated himself to serving the country, but me who flattered and was complicit!"
Zhang Nan stared at Zhao De, not sure what he was going to do.
Zhao De turned sideways, looked at Zhang Nan, moved his chapped lips, took out a document from his arms and handed it to Zhang Nan: "The Tatars suddenly invaded. If Liang hadn't been on duty and fought desperately, Weilu City would have been destroyed." It no longer exists. This incident sounded a wake-up call to the border defense station and told the court that the peaceful days were eroding the morale of the military and it was time to rectify military affairs, especially border defense military affairs."
Zhang Nan took it and unfolded it. He saw "Border Town Organization Book" written on it. He frowned and looked at Zhao De: "This is it?"
Zhao De sighed: "Fu Chen is the commander of the history, and he has fallen irredeemably. There are still things to do, and there are many thousands of households. Do you think this is only the case in Weilu City? The battle of Qamdo La did indeed show the power of the Ming Dynasty, deterring Wala and The Tatars have won peace. But reality tells us that peace does not really exist, and the Tatars may invade at any time. There is Liang Xian in Weilu City, but what about other cities? Do we still have few cities outside the pass? "
Zhang Nan understood what Zhao De meant and was also aware of this worry.
The long-term peaceful situation has made the generals indulge in pleasure and lose their vigilance and sense of urgency. In addition, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and no one will hold them responsible for anything. As time goes by, the frontline generals become nothing more than a loser, and the sergeants will also be taken away. If you become a soldier, you may suffer a big loss when the wolf comes.
Zhao De put his hands behind his back and looked up to the sky and said: "Qiangyuan was so powerful at first, but after decades of enjoyment, it has become a rotten tree. Now Emperor Jianwen has great talents, and if he wants to rule the prosperous times, he must organize the border towns. He is here Jinling, I don’t know that the border town is rotten. The Tatar invasion at this time is a good thing, but it is a pity that Liang Xian, a loyal and proud man, died unjustly at the hands of his own people, and he did not leave a last word until his death!"
Just as Zhang Nan was about to speak, he heard a sergeant reporting: "Cavalry or Guan Nei troops have appeared outside the south city gate."
Zhao De looked deeply at Zhang Nan, smiled and said, "Luo Jing must have received the news, but I don't know who is coming."
Zhang Nan handed the document in his hand to Zhao De and persuaded: "You are a conscientious person. Although you have made mistakes, you are not the culprit after all. The court will not punish you severely. You can keep this memorial, or It can save your life.”
Zhao De walked towards Zhang Nan, and when he was close to him, he smiled sadly: "If I write this letter in prison, people in the world will think that I, Zhao De, am writing this letter to get out of sin, not for national affairs. Although I am a villain, my heart will never die. The fire of national loyalty.”
Zhang Nan felt a movement in his waist, and a canglang sound came out. Then he was pushed back a step, and saw that Zhao De had a knife across his neck, and he quickly shouted: "No!"
Zhao De ignored Zhang Nan, just looked to the southeast and shouted loudly: "The guilty minister is unworthy of the emperor. The soldiers of Wanwangweilu City are dedicated to serving the country and will never slack off!"
The knife spins and blood spurts out.
Zhang Nan stepped forward and felt his hands and face were hot.
Clang.
The knife dropped and jumped several times.
Zhao De leaned against the city wall and sat down slowly. He wanted to speak, but there was blood and bubbles in his throat, and he could not utter a word. He raised his finger and pointed at the document in Zhang Nan's hand, and put it down again, without any breath.
Zhang Nan's eyes heated up. He didn't expect that this man who was usually gentle, flattering, and friendly everywhere would actually be a man! Zhang Nan did not believe that Zhao De committed suicide out of fear of crime, but preferred to believe that he committed suicide out of shame.
Putting away the blood-stained documents, Zhang Nan walked toward the south city wall. Song Hu's cavalry had already arrived outside the city.
Zhang Nan knew Song Hu. After the sergeant inspected the warrants and documents, he ordered the city gate to be opened and welcomed Song Hu into the city. Looking at the murderous Song Hu and the Jiayuguan sergeant who was equipped with all firearms, Zhang Nan couldn't help but tremble.
Song Hu inherited Song Sheng's bravery, but did not inherit Song Sheng's good temper. Looking at Zhang Nan who was saluting, he sternly shouted to the deputy general Xu Lin beside him: "Send the order, without my order, Weilu City's first sergeant No movement is allowed. Anyone who dares to mobilize troops without authorization will be killed and repaid by me!"
The sergeant of Weilu City is affiliated to Gansu Xingdu Division. Song Hu is the commanding officer of Gansu Xingdu Division. He is the general guard of Jiayuguan and has the authority to directly govern Weilu City.
Xu Lin took the order, took more than two thousand sergeants, and went straight to the military camp.
Song Hu looked at Zhang Nan and saw blood stains all over his body. He frowned and said, "It seems that Weilu City is very dangerous. You patrolled thousands of households with blood on them."
Zhang Nan quickly said: "General Song, I have something to report."
Song Hu waved his hand and said solemnly: "I'll tell you later. Where are Fu Chen, Sun Cheng, Wang Pei and others?"
Zhang Nan quickly shouted: "You should all be in command of Shi's mansion at this time."
"Walk!"
With murderous intent in his eyes, Song Hu led a thousand sergeants straight to the commanding officer's mansion, and then the sergeants surrounded the mansion.
When Zhao Chun, the imperial censor, saw this situation, he ran out quickly and shouted to Song Hu: "Commander Song, Commander Fu framed a good general and killed Liang Xian. Please ask the commander to make the decision for the sergeants of Weilu City."
Song Hu stepped forward step by step, looked at Zhao Chun, the censor, and asked: "Fu Chen killed a good general. As the censor, can you write a document to report to the emperor?"
"this……"
Zhao Chun looked ugly.
Song Hu raised his foot and kicked Zhao Chun to the ground. Looking at Zhao Chun who rolled ten feet away, he sighed: "What the hell, you have the nerve to talk!"
Zhao Chun wailed in agony.
In the mansion, Fu Chen, Sun Cheng, Wang Pei and others had received the news and were frightened out of their wits.
Song Hu led the sergeant into the room that smelled of alcohol. The first thing he saw was the singer, the fine wine and the delicacies. Then he looked at Fu Chen and the others. He held the knife in his hand and walked straight towards Fu Chen.
Fu Chen's face was pale, and he stepped forward with a forced smile: "Why are you coming to Weilu City, Commander-in-Chief?"
Song Hu raised his hand and whipped the whip towards Fu Chen's face!
Snapped!
The whip fell on Fu Chen's cheek, and the strong force pulled out two teeth. They flew out with blood, and the burning pain swallowed Fu Chen in an instant.
Fu Chen staggered and almost fell. He stretched out his hand to cover his face, but the pain was even worse when he touched it. He glared at Song Hu: "General Soldier Song, how dare you beat me!"
Song Hu's hand shook and he drew out the whip again. Fu Chen quickly stepped back to avoid it.
Looking at Fu Chen with an angry face, Song Hu said with murderous intent: "Beating a subordinate is not as courageous as your false accusation of killing a general! Come on, tie Fu Chen up, break his legs, and escort him to the capital. !”
"Who dares?!"
Fu Chen shouted angrily.
But Song Hu's sergeants paid no attention to Fu Chen. The two sergeants held crossbows and shot Fu Chen's thigh without saying a word. They picked up the rope and tied up Fu Chen who fell to the ground wailing.
Fu Chen couldn't care less about the pain and shouted quickly: "Liang Xian colluded with the Tatars first, why not if I kill him! Song General Bing arrests me, if there is no crime, I will decide to repay the emperor and punish you!"
Song Hu was almost amused: "A crime, you still want to accuse me? Do you really think that your small command history can silence everyone and cover up the truth? Zhang Nan!"
Zhang Nan walked in, looked at the arrested Fu Chen, gritted his teeth and said, "Liang Tongzhi fought bloody battles and defended Weilu City. Commander Fu and others were drinking and causing trouble. He was afraid that the court would punish him and pursue him, so he fabricated the charges and killed Liang Tongzhi!"
"You're talking nonsense!"
Fu Chen angrily scolded Zhang Nan.
Song Hu's temper exploded and he shouted: "Enough! Fu Chen, I know Mr. Liang, he will never betray the Ming Dynasty! Collude with the Tatars? Can you think of such a ridiculous reason? There are Tatars too What's worth colluding with, and what benefits can Arutai bring to Mr. Liang? An idiot like you can harm the Ming Dynasty and lose a powerful general! If I don't kill you today, the national law will tolerate it!"
Cai Jiukui was shocked and quickly stopped Song Hu: "According to the military order, he can only be sent to the capital for questioning, and he can only be killed after the emperor approves it. If General Song wants to avenge Liang Xian, he should not be quick. Take a ride on your future.”
Song Hu glared at Cai Jiukui: "Kill him, will the emperor kill me?"
Cai Jiukui stared and shook his head: "No."
Although Song Hu did not have many military exploits, he was the son of Song Sheng after all. Song Sheng had devoted his whole life to the northwest and western regions of the Ming Dynasty. If Song Hu killed a scum like Fu Chen to stabilize the morale of the army, the emperor would not kill Song Sheng for his sake. Song Hu.
Song Hu pointed at Fu Chen and looked at the soldiers: "What are you waiting for? Wherever Liang Xian died, take him to me!"
Cai Jiukui looked at Song Hu who lost his temper. He couldn't stop him no matter what, and he couldn't say anything. He could only watch Fu Chen being escorted out. Wang Pei from the Hundred Households of the Security Bureau came over at this time and shouted softly: "Thousands of Households..."
Canglang——
Cai Jiukui pulled out the Xiuchun knife and slashed it with both hands. One arm fell to the ground instantly, and blood sprayed out!
"I will chop off your arm today, and when you return to the capital the next day, the Emperor will chop off your head! Someone, take it away with me!"
Cai Jiukui's voice was extremely cold.
