Chapter 120 Spare your life?
After a while, Chu Yucheng and Bu Wenshan, who still had blood stains on their armors, strode into the house, breaking the long-lasting tranquility.
The two of them had been fighting for a long time and were covered in blood. Chu Yucheng had already prepared all the three hundred corpses at the top of the city for burial.
"Xiao Qiu ran away! He led hundreds of soldiers to fight his way out from the south gate, catching the army outside the city off guard, breaking out from the gap in the encirclement, and by the time we reacted, we were already behind us! Damn it!
!It’s so slippery!” Bu Wenshan cursed with a look of reluctance.
"Just run away. Don't blame yourself. Where is Nangong Yu?" Chen Yue didn't take it seriously. Xiao Qiu wasn't considered an important figure, he was just a defeated general.
Chu Yucheng and Bu Wenshan looked at each other and said: "We haven't found it yet, but it must still be in the city. One of the Nangong soldiers who was captured said that he saw Nangong Yu put on common people's clothes and got into the city under the protection of his own soldiers.
, I just don’t know where to hide.”
Chen Yue pointed to the stool next to him and motioned for the two of them to sit down: "Intensify the search, he is useful to me, and send someone to inform General Yan that the siege outside the city gate should not be withdrawn until Nangong Yu is found."
Chu Yucheng nodded and turned to greet the soldiers to deliver the order.
Bu Wenshan sat down on the stool, and the stool creaked under the weight of his burly body. He said with a trace of sadness in his eyes: "We won the battle, and Lingzhou City was taken down, but the soldiers who were the first to climb the city suffered casualties.
It’s a bit big. Alas!”
"How many casualties are there?" Chen Yue's heart tightened.
Bu Wenshan replied: "A total of four thousand were killed, and the wounded were not counted. Half of the five thousand soldiers who attacked the city first were killed, and the leading officers were killed in large numbers. Almost everyone who survived was injured! Ye Xiaoxiao and Li Batian
We are still arranging the injured, it’s so miserable.”
Four thousand people were killed in battle. This was the result of Ye Xiaoxiao's early deployment of troops to establish some advantages. If these 5,000 people had not attacked the tower with a fierce counterattack, they would have been able to capture the defense of more than 10,000 people.
More people were going to die in Lingzhou City, and Bu Wenshan was also sighing.
Chen Yue's eyes were a bit regretful: "We have a clear count of the dead soldiers. Ask if they have any family members. After the war, we will provide pensions according to the standards of our Liang Army. Now they are all our brothers!"
Bu Wenshan nodded, holding his head in despair and saying nothing.
"General! Nangong Yu has been caught!" An excited shout came from outside the house, and then a figure tied up with colorful flowers was pushed in by Xiao Shangwen.
The moment Nangong Yu saw Chen Yue, various emotions appeared in his eyes: anger, regret, unwillingness and fear mixed with each other. This border military captain who he could easily crush to death when they first met has now grown to
To this extent, he has single-handedly destroyed his entire family business.
Looking at the dejected Nangong Yu, Chen Yue raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth, waved his hand, and Bu Wenshan and others retreated, and the door was closed tightly.
Chen Yue looked at Nangong Yu. The man in front of him had long lost his original demeanor as General Anbei, Lieutenant General of Zuoweiwei, and the head of the Nangong family. He was slightly bloated and was wearing coarse linen clothes. There were several distinctive tattoos on his thighs.
From the footprints, one could tell that they were kicked by soldiers. The blood on his face had long since turned pale.
The two just looked at each other in silence.
After a long time, the fear in Nangong Yu's heart became deeper and deeper, and his legs were so weak that they were trembling.
Chenyue asked with a smile: "General Nangong, do you have any last words?"
One word broke down Nangong Yu's psychological defense.
"thump!"
Hearing this, Nangong Yu couldn't bear it any longer and knelt down in front of this former ant: "General Chen, please let me live. I, Nangong Yu, am grateful!"
"Hahaha!" Chenyue looked up to the sky and laughed, then his face changed, and he said viciously: "Let you go? Then who will let you go? Then who will let go of the girl who was persecuted by your Nangong family in Youzhou? Who will let go of the city that died in the battle today?
The four thousand soldiers at the head? Who can spare the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Liangyou Border Army who died outside Tianlang Pass!"
Looking at Chen Yue's ferocious face, Nangong Yu felt a chill in his heart. He didn't expect that he would be hated by Chen Yue ever since that unknown girl.
"Your father is dead, your son is dead, and everyone in your Nangong family, old and young, is dead! It's all thanks to you. Although some of them really deserve to die, I believe there are still some good people in your Nangong family.
, who let them go?" Before Nangong Yu could answer, Chen Yue's shout sounded again.
Although he has never met Nangong Ba, at the very least, the old man will never die at the hands of his son.
Nangong Yu thought of the scene when he stabbed his father with his own hands, and finally broke down, crying loudly, with tears streaming down his face. These days, the sword he stabbed always appeared in his dreams, and his father's desperate eyes before his death kept reappearing in his mind.
In his mind, he woke up from his dreams again and again.
But Nangong Yu really didn't want to die and begged: "General Chen, I deserve to die. I'm not a human being. If you let me go, I'm still useful. I can help you!"
Nangong Yu, who was still arrogant when he was about to die, aroused Chen Yue's interest and asked with interest: "Oh? Tell me about it?"
Nangong Yu stopped her tears and said tremblingly: "Let me go. I have money. I have a lot of money. The Nangong family has a secret bank in the mountains on the outskirts of Beijing. It has been accumulated over the years. Only the family heads of the past generations have it."
You know, I’ll use the money to pay back my life!”
"Haha, is that so? Where is it? Tell me and I will let you live." Chen Yue said with a smile.
Hearing the drama, Nangong Yu's eyes finally flashed with light, but in his heart he was afraid that Chen Yue would cross the river and demolish the bridge, so he timidly said: "You let me go first, and I will draw the map. As long as I leave safely, the map will be handed over to you."
.”
After saying that, Nangong Yu stared closely at Chen Yue's eyes, hoping to escape. But this time he didn't lie. The Nangong family really had a secret bank. Most of the wealth accumulated by the family over the years was
Hidden inside, the money to train the Qinjun has always been withdrawn from the bank. This is also an important reason why the Qinjun is only loyal to the Nangong family.
Chen Yue frowned, as if he was thinking about the conditions proposed by Nangong Yu. Under Nangong Yu's hopeful eyes, Chen Yue finally spoke: "General Nangong, I hope you won't lie to me!"
"General Xie Chen! I promise I won't tell lies!" After hearing that he had a chance to live, Nangong Yu kept nodding his head, tears and snot flowing down his cheeks and onto his clothes, feeling extremely depressed.
"Take him down first! Take good care of him!" Chenyue shouted.
Several soldiers walked in from the door, dragging Nangong Yu with joy on his face and went out.
Looking at the figure being dragged away, a sneer appeared on Chen Yue's face. He walked out of the room and looked at the starry night sky, murmuring:
Chapter completed!
