Chapter 26 The whereabouts of the war horse

Zhao Tong's face was as cold as water: "Where is your horse?"

Where is the horse!

Not everyone in the dark Forbidden Army team in front has a horse to ride on. There is usually a standing soldier sandwiched between two horses, and a cavalryman sandwiched between the two soldiers.

The horse is half missing!

At first, Zhao Tong only paid attention to the military appearance and spirit of these forbidden troops, and did not think about anything else.

Later, the more he looked at it, the more wrong he became, and then he realized that the majestic Dragon Guard cavalry actually had no horses!

The Dragon Guard Army has a full command of nearly 900 men, but the actual situation is less than half. There are free-paying activities here, and there is also a shortage of horses.

However, the remaining imperial troops that are actually being organized are all mounted on horses. Otherwise, what else would they call the Horse Army Commanding Division?

Is it possible that if a man can eat free food, a horse can also eat it?

Zhao Tong's eyes fell on the commander of Ma Jun Sidu who had just returned from counting.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Ma Army, whose surname was Sun and Gaosheng, was from the Forbidden Army for generations. His ancestors had participated in the Chenqiao Incident, and were later named the Founding Fathers. He was considered a noble family.

Sun Gaosheng felt Zhao Tao's gaze and immediately broke into cold sweat. He also wondered in his heart that although there was a shortage of war horses in the Song Dynasty, the quota of war horses was still sufficient when the Dragon Guard was not satisfied with the establishment.

And just a few days ago, he visited the Dragon Guard Army. He was afraid that Zhao Tie Dian's army would find any flaws, so he made a special inspection. The weapons, armor, and horses were clearly comparable that day, but now they are gone.

Woolen cloth?

"What do you mean?" Zhao Tong looked to both sides with a dark face, only to see Feng Ju, the deputy commander of the Guards and Military Division who had come with him to count, quietly left at some point.

"Sun Gaosheng, you are good at controlling me, come here!"

"The horses are in the gallery?" Zhao Tong said without expression, "Go to the horse gallery and see how many horses there are!"

Within a moment, hundreds of people were tied up and approached. Thirty-eight commanders, the third-level commander of the Xiang Army Camp and their adjutants were all captured.

Tan Zhen pressed the knife on his waist and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, what if he goes to Gao Qiu's side?"

Ma Junsi Du Yuhou felt regretful at this moment. Most of the reasons why he didn't say anything just now were because he thought Zhao Tan knew about it and was just showing it off. As for why, it was always the twists and turns from above, not

He should have thought about it, but at this moment he discovered that Zhao Tong really didn't know about this.

Sun Gaosheng almost fainted without taking a breath. Fortunately, he still had some sense of consciousness and knew where to lose so many horses for no reason. He couldn't help but crawl back to the place where the troops were ordered. He knelt down and cried: "Your Majesty.

, I came to check a few days ago, and the war horses are still there, why are they gone today, how come they are gone!"

"Your Majesty..." Du Yuhou opened his mouth, making random "clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack clack out there out of their mouth."

, yes, it was the order given by Commander Feng Dudu of the Pro-Military Department, it is said to be..."

Sun Gaosheng's eyes widened and he looked at Du Yuhou who was kneeling beside him: "You, Wang Yuanzheng, how dare you harm me!"

Sun Gaosheng knelt on the ground and trembled. He also knew that there was an evil spirit, but he actually hid this matter from him. It was obvious that he wanted to kill him.

Sun Gaosheng rolled and climbed to the foot of the tree. Zhao Tong put his riding whip on the ground and said, "First give him a hundred lashes!"

Zhao Tong took a deep breath, looked at the people kneeling in front of him, turned around and came to the side of the big tree. Yuhouwang Yuanzheng, the commander of the horse army, had been hung up. He was trembling all over and didn't even have the strength to beg for mercy.

As soon as he said these words, there were waves of echoes from around him.

Marquis Yu, the commander of the cavalry division named Wang Yuanzheng, turned green. Beads of sweat fell down his forehead, and immediately made a small hole in the soil in front of him.

The third-level chief officers, deputy commanders, and Marquis Du Yu, including Sun Gaosheng, the commander of the Ma Army's division, all knelt on the ground even though they were not tied up with ropes.

"Catch Feng Ju back to me!" Zhao Tong said expressionlessly: "And hang Wang Yuanzheng on a tree nearby!"

"If the whip weakens its strength, it will all be recorded on you!"

Sun Gaosheng immediately trembled when he heard this. These one hundred lashes are going to kill people!

He did not believe that those many horses would be lost out of thin air, and he had already concluded what he had just said, but when he arrived at the horse gallery, he was suddenly struck by thunder and lightning, which made his face turn pale. He saw that the horse gallery was empty, and there was no one there anywhere.

livestock.

No one said anything, Zhao Tong said coldly: "You are military officers, no better than civil servants who chew on words. You are usually indifferent to the law and discipline, but you don't even think about such a serious crime? This is a matter of confiscating the family and exterminating the family, and you still dare to persist. Moreover, this is going to happen.

Sitting together!”

Zhao Tong looked at these people and said slowly: "Tell me, where did the horse go?"

"Come here, capture all the commanders and commanders of the Ma Army and above!" Zhao Tong said.

"Your Majesty..." Sun Gaosheng murmured: "The soldiers must have been so busy that they didn't have time to lead the war horses. The horses were in the corridor."

As soon as they mentioned confiscating their homes and killing their families, the expressions of many of the generals below immediately changed. One of the military commanders suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty, I saw the military commander Du Yuhou leading people to drive away the war horses that day!"

Zhao Tong looked at Tan Zhen and said, "Then I will destroy Gao Qiu's White Tiger Festival Hall!"

"They said that the Palace Front Division wanted to practice to support the Japanese army and they didn't have enough war horses. They came to our Dragon Guard Army to borrow war horses. They also said... and said that you know about this, Your Majesty."

Sun Gaosheng accepted the order and felt a little relieved. The value of war horses is self-evident. If something happens to these many war horses, not to mention whether the official position can be saved, even the head will be moved.

"Yes!" Tan Zhen accepted the order and left without any further nonsense.

Zhao Tong looked at him for a moment and suddenly sneered: "There is someone who dares to do something under my nose, and it has been exposed now, and he still doesn't come out to accept the crime. I really think that this king is as easy to talk to as anyone in the hall!"

"It's the prince!" How could Sun Gaosheng dare to show mercy? He hated Wang Yuanzheng to death for this matter, so he picked up the whip and whipped it, and a scream suddenly made the birds on the tree fly up.

Zhao Tong's face was dark, looking at the Imperial Guards standing without horses on the field, he only thought of two words, kill!

It is not an exaggeration to say that the short horse of the Song Dynasty is an important weapon of the country. Such an important thing can be "borrowed" easily, which shows how lax the military discipline and rules of the Forbidden Army are.

He knew that Gao Qiu's move was just to disgust him, and Gao Qiu would not dare to take advantage of him. However, between the loan and the repayment, his prestige in the army would inevitably decline, and there was no telling what he would do next.

Use out.

"Come here, give me my order!" Zhao Tong suddenly turned around: "Commands one to ten of the Dragon Guards, all equipped with crossbows and light armor for me, the two of them will ride together and line up by the Yellow River!"
