Qin Huaidao stared at Wang Tongfu with cold eyes, furious.
Wang Tongfu felt Qin Huaidao's murderous intention, and became more and more frightened in his heart. He did not dare to hide anything: "Sir, I heard that the incident in Daizhou was against the Protector. I want the Protector to lead troops to quell the rebellion, and then send the Protector to the throne.
Kill, I don’t know exactly how to do it, I just heard about it.”
"You really don't know me?" Qin Huaidao asked, his anger getting more intense. He didn't expect that Daizhou's rebellion hid such a big secret, and it was related to himself.
Wang Tongfu quickly shook his head: "I am blind, this must be the first time we meet, right?"
"Forget it if you don't know him." Qin Huaidao saw that the other party really didn't seem to know him, so he asked bluntly: "The Lord Protector has a grudge against your Taiyuan Wang family, why did you tell such a secret?"
"I want him to die because of the vengeance of genocide, but I am even more afraid of death. I also ask you to inform the Lord Protector of the news. I only ask the Lord Protector to help and beg for mercy for the sake of the news. I will spare my life, Lord Protector."
At the height of the sun, my lord informed the news, which can be regarded as making friends with the great tree of the Protector of the Country."
Qin Huaidao was a little speechless. This man really didn't care about anything in order to survive. If anyone else got this news, he would definitely come to him. But because of his reputation, he really had to plead with Li Er and spare him. It was a good idea.
Leng asked, "What else do you know?"
"No, that's all. Please show your respect, sir."
"Those who betray the country will not live, they will be chopped off." Qin Huaidao said coldly.
Chen Erhu raised the knife without hesitation and beheaded Wang Tongfu. Qin Huaidao picked up some silver from the carriage and threw it to the woman. He said coldly: "Treason must die. Take the money and find a place to be anonymous and raise the child."
, tell them they can do anything but not treason, and let’s go.”
By beheading Wang Tongfu, Xin's matter could be suppressed, but the child was too young to do anything.
"Thank you, sir!" The woman was overjoyed, took the money, and left in a hurry with her two children. She was afraid that Qin Huaidao would regret it, and she didn't dare to ask any more questions about the man on the ground.
Qin Huaidao looked at everyone and warned: "What he said just now is just nonsense and has no basis. It is best not to spread it randomly, otherwise it will lead to death."
"Understood, the subordinates didn't hear anything just now." Chen Erhu said quickly.
"Yes, yes, I didn't hear anything just now." Everyone hurriedly expressed their opinions. No one is a fool. If word gets out and the superiors investigate and find that Wang Tongfu is dead without any evidence, they will be accused of spreading rumors.
Qin Huaidao looked in the direction of the city and his eyes darkened. Li Jiancheng actually plotted against him. This matter is not over yet, but Daizhou is a trap. Now he jumps in to settle the score with Li Jiancheng? Or should he observe it before looking at it?
At this time, an army rushed out from the city. The leader was Su Dingfang. He reined up his horse and stopped, clasping his fists and saying: "General, the last general has captured the governor's mansion. Please invite the general to come into the mansion and take charge of the overall situation."
"Let's go!" Qin Huaidao responded and rode forward.
The group entered the city and saw a dilapidated scene. Countless people were watching blankly at the door. There were Turk corpses everywhere on the ground, as well as many civilian corpses. Qin Huaidao stopped and looked at this scene. Su Dingfang quickly stepped forward and said: "General
, I heard at the end that after the Turks occupied the city, they looted and looted in various ways, which were more shameless than bandits. The people's homes were robbed of food, and their women were also robbed. The people will be helpless."
"Why are they so numb? Shouldn't they be happy that a great revenge has been avenged?"
Su Dingfang shook his head and said in a low voice: "I will go and inquire about it."
Qin Huaidao did not answer. Instead, he stepped forward and came to an old man. The man was skinny and ragged. He took a few steps back in fear. Qin Huaidao asked kindly: "I am polite, am I the royal master of the imperial court?"
"Master Wang, are you Master Wang?" The old man's face changed drastically. He stared at Qin Huaidao in disbelief and asked emotionally: "You are really Master Wang, aren't you..."
After he hesitated to speak, Qin Huaidao realized something was wrong and asked, "What is it not?"
"Your Excellency, is he really the king?" The other party obviously didn't believe it.
"It's absolutely true!" Qin Huaidao said solemnly, pointing to the soldiers around him: "Take a good look, I am the Yulin Army, the Holy Lord's personal army, and we have been ordered to quell the chaos."
"Master Wang? Your Majesty has not abandoned us?" the old man asked excitedly.
"How could the Holy One give up on the people of the Tang Dynasty? What happened?"
"Great, why did you come here to... do evil? Those damn Turkic dogs, and... and..." The old man did not dare to speak, his eyes were full of fear.
"What else?" Qin Huaidao asked, feeling something bad was coming.
"And..." The old man looked like he was risking his life, and gritted his teeth and said: "And... some time ago, a court army came to recruit soldiers and took away all the adult men in the city. My son refused and was... chopped on the spot.
I lost my head, my son..."
After saying that, the old man held his head and cried loudly.
Qin Huaidao's face changed slightly. The imperial court came here to recruit troops some time ago. If this place was not occupied by Turks, how could the imperial army come to recruit troops? Seeing the old man's heartbroken look, he could not continue to ask.
A teenage boy came over. He was in tatters. He was holding a broken bowl and a stick. He said with a flattering look on his face: "This official, please do me a favor and give me something to eat. What do you want to know? I
Tell you."
Qin Huaidao took out some silver and put it into the opponent's bowl and asked, "Tell us about recruiting soldiers."
"Thank you, Master Guan. Thank you, Master Guan." The child was overjoyed. People who go around begging for a living are inevitably more courageous and not afraid of life. He quickly collected the money and said, "Master Guan, I heard that he is an officer of Shanyu Duhufu.
When I came to recruit troops, I said they were fighting in the south, but I didn’t know whether it was true or not.”
"Before or after the Turks occupied this place?"
"Not two days after the Turks occupied this place, the government troops came. They went directly to the city to arrest the soldiers, and they also robbed things. If they didn't give them, they killed people. After arresting them, they left overnight." The other party said, his eyes rolled around, and Qin Huai said no.
Pay attention, slip away quickly and disappear quickly.
"Master Guan, please help us, my men... we... can't survive anymore." A woman knelt down with a thud and kept kowtowing.
"Yes, you are the king's division. Please help us. How can we recruit soldiers like this? Even if we recruit soldiers locally, how can we go to other places? There is no way for the king to do so." Someone shouted.
"Help us." More people gathered around and knelt down to kowtow, looking miserable.
Qin Huaidao's heart was filled with panic. This was not recruiting troops. It was clearly to recruit strong men to expand his strength. The Shanyu Protectorate was seeking death. A surge of anger rushed to the top of his head. He originally wanted to wait and see, but if he didn't care about this matter after knowing it, his conscience would be gone.
He An? He quickly helped the woman up and said, "Everyone, please get up. Don't worry, I will definitely bring the person back."
"Thank you, sir!"
"Sir, do you really mean what you say?"
"Don't worry, everyone, I never break my promise." Qin Huaidao said solemnly, striding forward, his face was gloomy and terrifying. Rebellion is a heinous thing, but to arrest a strong man, he cannot be forgiven.
Under the leadership of Su Dingfang, Qin Huaidao arrived at the Governor's Mansion. Many officials were being guarded at the door. Yuchi Baoqi stepped forward and saluted: "General, they are officials, how should we deal with them?"
"Suppress them all, ask for their identities, and let the people identify them. Forget about being a good official. Anyone who outshines the people and betrays the country and the court will be beheaded and speculators." Qin Huaidao said with murderous intent. During the Turkic occupation, this group of people
Still serving as an official is definitely not a good thing.
"Follow the order." Yuchi Baoqi quickly agreed and took the person away.
Qin Huaidao entered the official office and sat down at the main seat in the main hall. Just then Cheng Chuliang came over and warned: "Chu Liang, take your people to count the results of the war. Su Dingfang, you take the people to check the treasury, and you have to move quickly."
"Follow the order." The two hurried out.
Qin Huaidao took out the map and spread it out on the desk. He stared at the map and pondered. To the south was the Shanyu Governor's Mansion. It was not far away. It could be reached in two days by horseback. The news that the Turks had been killed in the Jinwei Governor's Mansion shouldn't be that big.
If you spread the word quickly, you can catch Shan Duhufu off guard.
The Shanyu Duhufu was the territory of Mongolia in later generations. When the Tang Dynasty army captured Jieli Khan and the Eastern Turks were destroyed, the Tang Dynasty established the four prefectures of Shun, You, Hua and Chang, as well as the Dingxiang and Yunzhou Dudus.
, are all under the jurisdiction of the Shanduhufu, with complex tribal composition and wide distribution.
Going south from the Jinwei Governor's Mansion, you need to pass through the Helan Governor's Mansion. The Tiele tribe of the grassland surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and was granted the title of settler here. I wonder if they followed the rebellion and rebelled against the Tang Dynasty?
Continuing southward from the Helan Governor's Mansion are the Yunzhong Governor's Mansion and the Yanran Protector's Mansion. The first time I went north, I passed by the boundary west of the Yanran Protector's Mansion, and everything was fine. From the east of the Yanran Protector's Mansion, I could go south and fight directly.
Go to Black City and head straight for Huanglong, but there are too many tribes along the way, so you have to kill them all.
"How can we fight if there are less than 20,000 people around us?"
