Chapter 388 I Don't Read Much, I Only Know One Killing Word

Those who shouldered the banner were all Lan Yu's personal soldiers, all of them were heavy-backed, with broad and powerful arms, and they drove back and forth behind the camp of the three guards of Prince Qin's mansion, shouting constantly.

Outside Yinghao Town, tens of thousands of horses are galloping like heavenly soldiers.

The killing and dust brought by the Northwest Frontier Army shocked everyone.

Although the Northwest Frontier Army is not as famous as the former Han and Tang Dynasty, it can make the enemy fearful when they go to battle.But the heroic and boundless environment in the northwest is still forging armies of steel all the time.

The generals of the three guards of King Qin's Mansion, who were in the camp of Yinghao Town, couldn't help being shocked by the power of the Northwest Frontier Army, and they all looked expectantly at the approaching Northwest Frontier Army formation.

Under the gaze of all eyes.

I saw the Northwest Frontier Army rolling forward, gradually slowing down and stopping.

The cavalry of the Ma Junying divided into two groups, centered on the three guards camp, and circled eastward towards the two sides of the camp.

Behind the horse barracks, there were a larger number of officers and soldiers of the infantry battalion, bypassing the three guards camp and marching towards the east.

A light and small cannon, which was used to defend the nine sides in the past, was pulled eastward under the pack horses led by the officers and soldiers of the infantry battalion.

From the beginning to the end, the generals of the three guards of Prince Qin's Palace never saw Liang Guogong Lan Yu.

Just when everyone was still wondering whether Lan Yu was in the army or not.

Already several cavalry rushed out from the central army holding small flags.

"The general ordered to conquer Shengchi County before sunset, and those who delay the time will lead the army."

"The general ordered that the three guards of the Prince of Qin's Palace go out to the east of Shengchi County to prevent the support of the rebels from Xin'an County and delay the fighter plane, and they will be punished by military law."

The sudden arrival of the military order made the three generals of the Qin Palace's guards unexpected, and they didn't even have a chance to react.

At this time, the messenger of the Northwest Frontier Army under the seat of Sapphire had already arrived in front of the three guard generals on horseback.

The young herald holds a small flag and grasps the military order, with a silent face, drives the horse with billowing smoke and dust all the way to the front of the three guard generals, reins the horse, looks sideways at the three guard generals, and hands out the small flag and military order in his hand .

"The general's military order restricts the three guards of the Qin Palace to retreat to Yinghao Town and march eastward immediately to prevent the rebels from Xin'an County from supporting Shengchi County. There must be no mistakes, otherwise the military law will serve you."

The herald reiterated the order.

Some of the three guards present at the scene immediately stepped forward and took the command flag cautiously: "The three guards of the Qin Palace received the order."

Immediately, he returned to the rest of his comrades with the military order in hand.Separating the manpower back to the camp, the sound of war drums came from the camp in a short while, and the footsteps of countless officers and soldiers of the horse infantry camp were like thunder.

The three guard generals who stayed in front of the Northwest Front Army's Central Army were always looking in the direction of the Central Army, waiting for Duke Liang's appearance.

Even a quarter of an hour later, the military horses of the three guards of Prince Qin's Mansion who did not dare to delay at Yinghao Town finally set off.

At this time, the middle army of the Northwest Frontier Army moved again.

A group of cavalry guards with bright armor and blood-clothed robes, surrounded by a heavy armored general like a heavy iron wall, rode out from the formation of the Chinese army, and appeared in the sight of the three guards of the Qin Palace who were waiting here. inside.

Seeing this, the generals of the three guards trembled all over, and immediately bowed their heads.

"I will see the general at the end."

Leaving Beijing by order, the general Lan Yu, Duke of Liang, who had been in charge of the Northwest Frontier Army for several years to quell the rebellion, sat straddling his horse with an indifferent expression, holding the rein with ease, and arrived in front of the three guard generals.

"Cuo'er's rebellion, the three guards of the majestic Prince Qin's Palace, can't attack for a long time, if there is any delay in this battle, I will personally kill you and others before the battle."

Dressed in heavy armor, with a shining steel helmet and fluttering feathers, Sapphire sat on the horseback, staring at the generals of the three guards of Prince Qin's Palace with cold eyes, and reprimanded them in a cold voice.

Duke Liang's prestige has been earned by him since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

None of the generals of the three guards of the Qin Palace dared to refute.

One after another, they bowed their hands again, bending their waists even lower.

"The last general takes orders!"

Lan Yu raised her horsewhip and hummed twice: "You will follow me to the outside of Shengchi City."

Lan Yu's resolute actions prompted the generals of the three guards to shout one after another, asking the soldiers to bring their horses.

Not long after, the army speeded up and rushed to Shengchi County, which had not been captured for a long time due to various reasons.

Even shortly after noon.

The northwest frontier army commanded by Lan Yu has already gathered outside Shengchi County, the west gateway of Henan Prefecture.

The imperial army and horses approached again, causing panic on the city wall of Shengchi County. A large number of rebel soldiers and horses climbed on the city wall, and the sound of war drums continued for a long time.

Because it was only a county seat, there were no heavy defensive weapons such as artillery on the walls of Shengchi County, but only a few bed crossbows and trebuchets exposed to the attention of the imperial army and horses.

When the rebels on the city wall of Shengchi County discovered that the imperial army and horses that appeared outside the city today were no longer the three guards and horses of Qin Wangfu who came from Tongguan from Guanzhong a few days ago, but the banner of the Northwest Frontier Army.

The rebels in Shengchi County who reacted immediately fell into chaos. Numerous figures could be seen on the city wall with the naked eye. Many soldiers and horses shuttled back and forth on the city wall, crowded with people.

The Northwest Frontier Army rushed to the outside of Shengchi County, and laid out the siege army at an orderly speed.

The muzzles of the cannons were raised and rushed towards the low city wall.

After that, there are various soldiers and horses in the infantry battalion, and there are cavalry on both sides to support the formation.

Large flags fluttered outside the city like mountains and forests, fluttering in the wind.

Sapphire never showed a nervous look from the beginning to the end, as if the upcoming battle was nothing more than mediocre.

He was sitting on the horse's back, with his hands superimposed, holding the whip, and his eyes glanced lightly at the head of Shengchi County, where the rebels gathered, even showing undisguised contempt on his face.

"Such a small city has blocked the imperial army for several days."

After pulling out of the camp from Yinghao Town, the three generals who followed Lan Yu's army looked at each other in blank dismay.

Every word Liang Guogong said was as if he was slapping their faces with the whip in his hand, but they were speechless.

A general explained in a low voice: "Reporting to the general, although our army has three guards and ten thousand five army horses, there are ten thousand people in the south of Shanzhou Prefecture to put down the rebellion. Outside Shengchi County, there is only one army horse with insufficient guards, and there are rebels in the city. There are more than ten thousand troops, and there are people who have been coerced by the rebels, our department is restrained by all kinds of obstacles, and we are powerless, so I ask the general to be clear and lightly punished."

Lan Yu snorted coldly: "I only care about your performance before the army after you come here. If you make a mistake, I will punish you severely. I didn't come before, so I can't control what you did."

Sapphire was right.

The order he received from the emperor's grandson was to command him to lead the army east out of Tongguan, command the army and horses in the west of Henan Province, and put down the rebellion in the west of Henan Province.

When he came, he would be in charge of countering the rebellion.What happened before he came has nothing to do with him.

The generals of the three guards finally breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Lan Yu didn't plan to pursue their previous unfavorable siege.

A few people immediately said: "The general came in command of the army, the rebellion in the west of Henan Road will collapse like a catastrophe, and the small Shengchi County will only be overthrown within the palm of the general."

Lan Yu hummed twice, noncommittal.

In his opinion, a Shengchi County is really nothing.

Sapphire looked at the lieutenant beside her and nodded.

The deputy general immediately rode forward and lined up in front of the army.

"The general has an order to defeat Shengchi County. The first achievement in ascending the city will reward you with a thousand gold rewards, and you will be promoted to three ranks!"

"The general has an order. After the city is broken, if there is any resistance, the swordsmen will not be accepted, and they will all be killed!"

Breaking the city does not accept weapons.

As soon as Lan Yu's lieutenant general said this, the expressions of the generals who were the three guards of Prince Qin's Palace changed.

And the sound of the horn of war, already at this time, has been heard for a long time in the wilderness outside Shengchi County.

The war came quickly.

It also ended quickly.

Duke Liang of the Ming Dynasty bestowed the great general Sapphire, and the army conquered Shengchi County before the sunset of the military order.

As a result, the army horses of the imperial court knocked open the gate of this small city in Henan Province before sunset, and countless troops poured into the city without taking any swords or soldiers.

Anyone who wears armor will be captured; anyone who stubbornly resists will be captured.

Under the attack of the artillery and the Northwest Frontier Army like heavenly soldiers and thunder, the small Shengchi County fell apart.

When night fell, Shengchi County, which was prostrated under the majesty of the Sapphire army, had almost no other sound except the movement of officers and soldiers.

Or maybe it was because of Lan Yu's army that almost captured half of the people in Shengchi County.

To the east of Shengchi County, next to the official road leading to Xin'an County in the east.

In a huge wilderness.

Numerous torches and fire piles illuminate the coming night.

In the city, there are still many troops searching for the traitors.

Outside the city, a large army gathered and surrounded the entire wilderness.

In the middle of the wilderness, there are countless rebel warriors in armor, cloth armor, or red cloth strips tied on their shoulders, as well as a small number of rich local gentry in Shengchi County. .

In the first night, there was a trace of ambiguous atmosphere.

But on this night, only a ruthless Xiao Xiao was left behind.

The officers and soldiers under the blue flag, holding knives and guns, were silent, as silent as a statue in the dark.

In the wilderness, the rebels and rebels illuminated by the fire kept wailing and scolding, and more begging for mercy.

Throughout the day, Sapphire never took off the heavy armor on her body.

Surrounded by numerous lieutenant generals at this moment, they are standing in front of the rebels.

During the day, the generals of the three guards who rushed into the city with the army were looking worriedly at the countless rebels and rebels in front of them. They watched carefully under the light of the fire, but their faces were always hidden in the darkness. Among the generals.

When the city was broken, the stubborn rebels had already been massacred by the murderous Northwest Frontier Army.

Most of the remaining traitors are those who surrendered.

But at this moment, all these people have been taken out of the city, and no one will plan in a good direction.

Sapphire, with her back to the flames, quietly watched the rebels in Shengchi County in front of her, with a calm face and no waves in her heart.

Lan Yu said calmly: "It is said that the traitors here intend to cause rebellion and plot rebellion, and they will be punished by death."

Immediately, the heralds in the army began to gallop away from here to the distance.

"The general ordered that all traitors be executed!"

"The general ordered that all traitors be executed!"

"cut!"

"cut!"

"cut!"

No one left!
All those who participated in the rebellion in Shengchi County were ordered to be beheaded and executed immediately by Lan Yu.

The Northwest Frontier Army, which was fighting on the frontier all day long, was silent.

The deputy generals who followed Lan Yu in the Southern and Northern Wars were also expressionless.

When the heralds shouted all the way from the west to the east, the rebels who had been disarmed were in an uproar, and some people tried to escape.

But in the next moment, the officers and soldiers of the Northwest Frontier Army around them stepped forward with knives to coerce them. If there were any rebels who dared to continue to step forward, they would be immediately beheaded and killed by these Northwest Frontier Army without changing their expressions.

Far away, the east at twilight.

There was a roar.

The three guards and generals of Prince Qin's Mansion who stayed by Lan Yu's side were shocked.

They knew that it was the news that after Lan Yuzao conquered Shengchi County, the army that continued to attack Xin'an County had already begun to attack Xin'an County.

Bing is expensive and fast, and it has been used to the extreme by Sapphire.

Everyone understands that as long as the army conquers Xin'an County tonight, the imperial army will be able to face Luoyang City directly and besiege the city where the rebellion in Henan Province is the most severe.

However, at this time, Lan Yu wanted to kill all the rebels and rebels in Shengchi County.

But it made the backs of the three guards and generals of Qin Wangfu go numb for a while.

Someone stepped forward cautiously, bowed his hands and cupped his fists, and said in a low voice: "General, although they are all traitors here, they can be classified according to severity. If they are executed together for treason, will it be..."

The imperial court has always prioritized the suppression of rebellion.

If there is a rebellion in the frontier, it is likely that all the enemies have been slaughtered on the battlefield.

But if there is a rebellion in the Taoist government under the imperial court, often only the rebel leader will be killed, and those who are stubborn will be beheaded.The rest of those who participated in the rebellion were either exiled or sentenced to serve in the army, and they were often not punished with death.

Since ancient times, there have been rumors of killing and surrendering, and the ancient killing gods have arisen in vain. How many people have there been in thousands of years?

Lan Yu is going to do such a thing tonight, and everyone who participates in the rebellion will be beheaded.

The three guards of Prince Qin's Palace did not dare to say anything unknown, and could only suggest implicitly that the culpability of the rebels also varies from severity to severity.

However, Lan Yu immediately snorted when she heard it.

"Since participating in rebellion, committing rebellion, and conspiring against others, how can there be any distinction?"

Lan Yu's face was gloomy: "The imperial court cannot rebel for a long time, and our army also needs to quell the chaos in Henan Province as soon as possible, leaving only the rebels here, who will take care of the division?"

The person who reminded me at the exit lowered his head and whispered more and more: "General, according to the court law..."

"To shut up!"

Lan Yu immediately sneered, and then glanced at the person who spoke with an ugly face: "I never read books, so I don't know what the law says. I only know how to take orders, and I only know the word kill!"

After stopping that person's persuasion.

Sapphire shook her arm, stepped forward, slid her arm into the air, and then swung it down heavily.

"cut!"

……

"The rebellion in Shanzhou Mansion has been put down, and the three guards of King Qin's Mansion have already gone south to Nanyang Mansion to continue to put down the rebellion."

"The Buzhengshi Si Yamen sent officials to supervise and send officials to Shanzhou Prefecture to preside over government affairs."

In Kaifeng Fucheng, tens of thousands of troops marched out to block the rebellion outside Kaifeng Fucheng, so that Kaifeng Fucheng is still under safety.

As in the past, Zhu Gaochi accompanied Zhu Yunxi to the city wall to inspect the situation outside the city early.

The summer morning seemed a bit cold, so Zhu Gaochi put his hands in his sleeves, shrunk his head and followed behind Zhu Yunxi, whispering the news just received from Kaifeng City.

Zhu Yunxi stopped, turned around and said, "Maybe there is news from the general."

Zhu Gaochi paused for a moment, his expression became hesitant.

The news from Liang Guogong was just delivered to Kaifeng City early this morning, and I was shocked when I saw it.

Now Brother Xie started to ask, leaving him at a loss as to how to answer.

Zhu Yunxi frowned slightly: "The general's battle has been hindered? Or has the situation in Henan Province changed again?"

According to Zhu Yunxi's plan at the beginning, Lan Yu led the troops east out of Tongguan, intending to go all the way east to quell the Henan rebellion and come to Kaifeng.Then he went south to join the Beijing army led by Mu Ying to encircle the rebels in the southern part of Henan Province.

If the Sapphire army is blocked, it will definitely affect the counter-insurgency in the south.

Zhu Gaochi felt helpless, the Great General Lan of the Ming Dynasty quelled the mere rebellion, never encountered obstacles, but the situation in Henan Prefecture really had a major change.

He coughed lightly, and said in a low voice: "The general conquered the rebels in Shengchi County and Xin'an County, Henan Prefecture all day and night, and sent troops to Luoyang Prefecture. Encircle Luoyang City."

Zhu Yunxi tilted his head and looked at Zhu Gaochi: "The battle is going well, and the general is as fast as ever."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yunxi gave Xiaopang a scrutinizing look.

Zhu Gaochi, who was being stared at, groaned, took a step back and said: "After the general's homework in Shengchi County and Xin'an County, all the rebels in the two places were executed before the battle, leaving no one behind. The general explained that it is important to put down the rebellion in Henan Province. Soldiers and prisoners should not be left behind if the plane is delayed.”

Zhu Yunxi immediately frowned when he heard the words.

However, Zhu Gaochi continued: "The general's action is indeed correct on the military formation. This action can also deter the rebels and rebels in Luoyang City. It's just... Among the people who were beheaded, some were coerced into death The rebellious countrymen and the common people will lose the face of the imperial court to some extent. And if the general does not keep any prisoners, it will also stimulate the rebels in the remaining garrison to give birth to the idea of ​​a desperate fight, so..."

Zhu Yunxi hummed: "At this time, what does the Sansi Yamen say?"

Zhu Gaochi immediately said: "The matter was sent before dawn this morning, and the third division just found out. The Du Si Yamen had no objection to this, but the chief envoy Si Yamen and the inspector Si Yamen said a few more words. They I believe that the people killed during the battle between the two armies are all reasonable. But after the war, no matter what the rebels are, they should be convicted by the two departments and the court. This move by the general is suspected of overstepping."

"What do you think?"

Zhu Yunxi did not comment on the attitude and opinions of the Sansi Yamen in Henan Province, but asked about the thoughts of Xiaopang in front of him.

Zhu Gaochi raised his head to look at Zhu Yunxi, and muttered in deep thought.

After a while, he slowly opened his mouth: "In my opinion, this is the time for employing people. The general will lead the troops to quell the rebellion. Don't disturb the military power. If you make a mistake, you should judge it after the fact."

After finishing his sentence, Zhu Gaochi stared at Zhu Yunxi with a gloomy gaze.

He said quietly: "The most important thing is, what do you think of the general's behavior at this moment..."
