Chapter 387: I don’t read much, I only know the word “kill”
Those who shouldered the banner were all Lan Yu's soldiers, with strong backs and broad shoulders, and broad and strong arms. They drove horses and shuttled behind the three guard camps of Prince Qin's Mansion, shouting loudly.
Outside Yinghao Town, thousands of horses galloped, like troops from heaven rolling in.
The Xiao Sha and Chen Yan brought by the northwest frontier army shocked everyone.
Although the current northwest frontier army is not like the former Han Dynasty, the former Tang Dynasty and other heroes are famous all over the world, and they can scare the enemy when they go into battle. But the heroic and vast environment in the northwest is still forging an army of steel all the time.
.
The three guards of the Qin Palace and the generals who were stationed in the main camp of Yinghao Town couldn't help but be shocked by the power of the Northwest Frontier Army. They all looked at the approaching Northwest Frontier Army with expectant eyes.
Under the gaze of everyone.
I saw the northwest frontier troops rolling forward, gradually reducing their speed and stopping.
The cavalrymen of the Ma Army Camp were divided into two groups, with the Three Guards Camp as the center, and circled eastwards on both sides of the camp.
Behind the Ma Jun camp, there were a larger number of infantry battalion officers and soldiers, bypassing the three guard camps and heading east.
One by one, the artillery pieces, which were light and compact and used to defend the nine sides in the past, were pulled to the east by the pack horses led by the officers and soldiers of the infantry battalion.
From the beginning to the end, none of the three generals guarding the Qin Palace saw the figure of Liang Guogong Lan Yu.
Just when everyone was still wondering whether Lan Yu was in the army.
Several more riders have already rushed out from the Chinese army formation holding small flags.
"The general ordered us to conquer Shengchi County before sunset. Those who miss the time will lead the army."
"The general ordered that the three guards of the Prince of Qin's Mansion go out to the east of Shengchi County to block the rebel support from Xin'an County. Anyone who delays the fighter plane will be punished according to military law."
The sudden arrival of the military order caught the three guards and generals of the Prince of Qin's palace by surprise, and they did not even have a chance to react.
At this time, the herald of the Northwest Frontier Army under Lan Yu's seat had already arrived on horseback in front of the three escort generals.
The young herald held a small flag and grasped the military order. His face was silent. He drove his horse with billowing smoke and dust all the way to the eyes of the three generals of the guard. He reined in the horse, looked sideways at the generals of the three guards, and handed 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 the army and horses of Yinghao Town, and immediately march eastward to block the Xin'an County rebels from supporting Shengchi County. There must be no mistakes, otherwise military law will serve."
The herald reiterated the military order.
Someone from the three guards and generals present immediately stepped forward and carefully took over the order flag: "The three guards of Prince Qin's Mansion receive the order."
Immediately, he returned to the rest of his comrades with military orders in hand. He divided his troops and returned to the camp. Within a short while, the sound of war drums could be heard in the camp, and the footsteps of countless officers and soldiers of the horse and infantry camp were like thunder.
The three escort generals who stayed in front of the central army formation of the northwest frontier army were always looking towards the direction of the central army, waiting for the Duke of Chuliang to show up.
Even a quarter of an hour later, all the troops and horses left behind by the three guards of the Prince of Qin's Palace in Yinghao Town, who did not dare to delay at all, finally set off.
At this time, the northwest frontier army and the Chinese army started to move again.
A group of guard cavalry with bright armor and bloody uniforms, like heavy iron walls, surrounded a heavily armored general who rode out of the central army formation and appeared in the sight of the three guard generals of the Prince of Qin's Mansion who were waiting here.
ri.
The three guard generals trembled when they saw this, and immediately clasped their fists and lowered their heads.
"The last general will meet the general."
The general, Duke of Liang Lan Yu, who left the capital under the order and took charge of the northwest frontier army to put down the rebellion for several years, sat astride the horse with an indifferent expression, holding the reins in a relaxed manner, and arrived in front of the three guard generals.<
/p>
"Zu'er rebelled, and the three guards of the Qin Palace were unable to attack for a long time. If this battle is delayed again, I will personally kill you and others in front of the battle."
Wearing heavy armor, shining steel helmets, and fluttering blue jade feathers on the top of his head, he sat on the back of a horse, staring coldly at the generals guarding the three guards of the Qin Palace, and scolded them coldly.
The prestige of Duke Liang has been created by him since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
Among the three generals who were guarding the Qin Palace, no one dared to speak back.
They all held out their hands again, bending their waists even lower.
"The last general takes command!"
Lan Yu raised her riding whip and hummed twice: "You will follow me to the outside of Shengchi City."
Lan Yu's vigorous and resolute actions prompted the generals of the three guards to shout and ask the soldiers to bring their war horses.
Soon, the army accelerated towards Shengchi County, which had not been captured for a long time due to various reasons.
Even shortly after noon.
The northwest frontier troops commanded by Lan Yu have gathered outside Shengchi County, the west gate of Henan Prefecture.
The imperial army and horses approached again, causing panic on the Shengchi County city wall. A large number of rebel soldiers and horses climbed onto the city wall, and the sound of war drums continued for a long time.
Because it is only the county seat, there are no artillery or other important defensive weapons on the city walls of Shengchi County. Instead, there are only a few crossbows and trebuchets exposed to the sight and attention of the imperial army.
When the rebels on the wall of Shengchi County discovered that the imperial troops and horses that appeared outside the city today were no longer the three escort troops and horses of the Prince of Qin who came from Tongguan from Guanzhong a few days ago, but the flags of the northwest frontier army.<
/p>
When the Shengchi County rebels reacted, they immediately fell into chaos. Countless figures were visible to the naked eye on the city wall. Numerous soldiers and horses shuttled back and forth on the city wall, and there were crowds of people.
The northwest frontier troops who rushed outside Shengchi County set up their siege formation at an orderly pace.
The muzzles of the artillery pieces were raised one after another, and they rushed towards the low city wall.
After that, there are various formations of soldiers and horses of the infantry camp, with cavalry on both sides to support and suppress the formation.
Large flags are flying outside the city like mountains and forests, fluttering in the wind.
Lan Yu never showed a trace of nervousness from beginning to end, as if the battle that was about to begin was nothing.
He sat on the horse, folded his hands, held the riding whip, and glanced at the head of Shengchi County where the rebels gathered, with an undisguised look of contempt on his face.
"Such a small town, it actually blocked the imperial army for several days."
After breaking out of camp in Yinghao Town and following Lan Yu's army, several generals of the three guards looked at each other.
Every word Liang Guogong spoke was as if he was lashing their faces with the riding crop in his hand, leaving them speechless.
A general explained in a low voice: "Reporting to the general, although our army has three guards and five thousand horses, there are ten thousand people in the south of Shaanzhou Prefecture to put down the rebellion. Outside Shengchi County, there are only one guard and less than one horse. There are rebels in the city. With an army of more than ten thousand and civilians being held hostage by the rebels, our troops are constrained by various means and are unable to do anything. I ask the general to give you a clear warning and a lenient punishment."
Lan Yu snorted coldly: "I only care about how you behave in front of the army after you come here. If you make any mistakes, I will severely punish you. Before I arrived, I couldn't control what you did."
What Lan Yu said is very fair.
The order he received from the emperor's grandson asked him to lead the army east out of Tongguan, command the troops and horses in the western part of Henan Province, and put down the rebellion in the western part of Henan Province.
When he comes, he will 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 was not going to pursue the matter of their previous unfavorable attack on the city.
Several people immediately said: "When the general comes in person to command the army, the rebellion in the western part of Henan Province will collapse. The small Shengchi County town will just fall under the palm of the general."
Lan Yu hummed twice, noncommittal.
In his opinion, Shengchi County is really nothing.
Lan Yu looked at the deputy general beside him and nodded.
The deputy general immediately rode out and lined up in front of the army.
"The general has an order to conquer Shengchi County. The first person who climbs the city will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins and be promoted to the third level!"
"The general has an order. After the city is breached, if there is any resistance, all will be killed if the swords are not withdrawn!"
Break the city without holding back your weapons.
As soon as Lan Yu's lieutenant said this, the expressions of the three generals who were guarding the Prince of Qin's Mansion changed.
The sound of war horns was already ringing in the wilderness outside Shengchi County at this time.
The war came quickly.
It ended quickly.
Duke Liang of the Ming Dynasty granted Lan Yu to the general, and ordered the army to conquer Shengchi County before sunset.
As a result, the imperial army and horses completely opened the gate of this small town in Henan Prefecture before sunset, and countless troops poured into the city without stopping.
Anyone who wears armor and stomach will be captured; anyone who stubbornly resists will be captured.
Under the thunderous offensive of artillery and the northwest frontier troops, the small Shengchi County naturally collapsed.
When night falls, in Shengchi County, which is crawling under the power of the blue jade army, there is almost no other sound except the movement of officers and soldiers.
Or maybe it's because Lan Yu's army captured almost 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.
Countless torches and fires illuminate the coming night.
In the city, there are still many troops searching for the rebels.
Outside the city, a large army gathered and surrounded the entire wilderness.
In the middle of the wilderness, there are countless rebel warriors wearing armor, cloth armor, or red cloth strips tied on their shoulders, as well as a small number, but they are all well-dressed and well-fed local gentry in Shengchi County
Big House.
The first light of night reveals a hint of ambiguity.
But on this night, all that was left was a ruthless atmosphere.
The officers and soldiers under the blue banner, holding swords and guns, were silent, as silent as statues in the darkness.
In the wilderness, the rebels and traitors, illuminated by fire, kept wailing, scolding, and begging for mercy.
Throughout the whole day, Lan Yu never took off the heavy armor and stomach on her body.
At this moment, surrounded by countless military generals, he stood in front of the rebels and traitors.
During the day, the three escort generals who followed the army into the city were looking at the countless rebels and rebels in front of them with worried expressions. They were watching carefully and anxiously in the firelight, but their faces were always hidden in the darkness.
The great general among them.
When the city was breached, the rebels who had been stubbornly resisting had already been slaughtered by the murderous Northwest Frontier Army.
Most of the remaining rebels are those who surrendered.
But now that all these people have been taken out of the city, no one will think in a good direction.
With her back to the firelight, Lan Yu quietly stared at the Shengchi County traitor in front of her, her face calm and her heart calm.
Lan Yu said calmly: "It is said that the rebels here intend to commit rebellion and are punishable by death."
Immediately, the military herald began to gallop away from here on horseback.
"The general orders that all traitors and traitors be killed!"
"The general orders that all traitors and traitors be killed!"
"Cut!"
"Cut!"
"Cut!"
Leave no one behind!
All those who participated in the rebellion in Shengchi County were ordered to be executed immediately by Lan Yu.
The northwest frontier troops, who have been fighting on the border all day long, are silent.
The deputy generals who followed Lan Yu in the north and south also had expressionless faces.
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 tried to escape.
But the next moment, the surrounding northwest frontier officers and soldiers came forward with knives to threaten them. If any rebels dared to continue to advance, they would be immediately killed on the spot by these northwest frontier soldiers without changing their expressions.
In the distance, to the east under 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 clearly that it was the news that Lan Yu's army continued to attack Xin'an County after conquering Shengchi County early on, and had already begun to attack Xin'an County.
The speed of soldiers has been used to the extreme by Lan Yu.
Everyone understands that as long as the army conquers Xin'an County tonight, the imperial army can truly face Luoyang City and besiege the city where the rebellion in Henan Province is the most serious.
However, at this time Lan Yu wants to kill all the rebels in Shengchi County.
But it made the three guards and generals of Prince Qin's Mansion feel numb for a while.
Someone cautiously stepped forward, bowed and clasped his fists, and said in a low voice: "General, although there are all traitors here, they are divided into seriousness. If they are all executed for treason, will it be..."

When the imperial court suppresses rebellion, there are always priorities.
If it was a border rebellion, most of the enemies would have been massacred on the battlefield.
However, if there was a rebellion in the Taoist government under the imperial court, they would usually only kill the rebel leaders and behead those who resisted. The remaining people who participated in the rebellion were either exiled or sentenced to serve in the army, and often would not
All crimes involving death.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that the killer will be killed without knowing it. The ancient god of murder Baiqi, how many people have there been in the past thousands of years?
Lan Yu is going to do such a thing tonight, and everyone who participates in the rebellion will be killed.
The three guards of the Qin Palace did not dare to say anything unknown, and could only implicitly suggest that the culpability of the rebels also varies.
However, Lan Yu immediately snorted coldly after hearing this.
"If you participate in rebellion, commit rebellion, and commit rebellion, how can you distinguish between seriousness and severity?"
Lan Yu's face was gloomy: "The imperial court cannot tolerate rebellion for a long time, and our army also needs to put down the rebellion in Henan Prefecture as soon as possible. If only the rebels are left here, who will take care of the partition?"
The person who issued the reminder lowered his head and whispered more and more quietly: "General, according to the law of the imperial court..."
"Shut up!"
Lan Yu immediately shouted coldly, and then glanced at the person who spoke with an ugly expression: "I have never read, and I don't know what the law says. I only know how to take orders, and the commander of the army only knows the word "kill"!"<
/p>
After stopping the man’s persuasion.
Lan Yu raised her arms, stepped forward, slid her arms into the air, and then waved down heavily.
"Cut!"
……
"The rebellion in Shaanzhou Prefecture has been put down, and the three guards of the Qin Palace have gone south to Nanyang Prefecture to continue to put down the rebellion."
"The chief envoy, Si Yamen, supervises and dispatches officials to Shaanxi Prefecture to preside over government affairs."
In Kaifeng Prefecture, tens of thousands of troops came out to block the rebellion outside Kaifeng Prefecture, allowing Kaifeng Prefecture to remain safe.
As before, Zhu Gaochi accompanied Zhu Yunxi to the city wall early to inspect the situation outside the city.
The summer morning seemed a bit cold, so Zhu Gaochi put his hands in his sleeves, followed Zhu Yunxi with his head curled up, and whispered the news that Kaifeng City had just received.
Zhu Yunxi stopped and turned around and said, "Is there any news from the general?"
Zhu Gaochi paused and looked hesitant.
The news from Duke Liang was just delivered to Kaifeng City early this morning. When I saw it, I was shocked.
Now Brother Xi asked, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
Zhu Yunxi frowned slightly: "The general's war has encountered obstacles? Or has the situation in Henan Prefecture changed again?"
According to Zhu Yunxi's original plan, Lan Yu led his troops east out of Tongguan, with the intention of marching eastward to quell the rebellion in Henan Province and reaching 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 Lan Yu's army is blocked, it will definitely affect the counterinsurgency in the south.
Zhu Gaochi felt helpless. General Lan of the Ming Dynasty had never encountered any obstacles in putting down the rebellion, but the situation in Henan Prefecture really changed the situation.
He coughed lightly and said in a low voice: "The general conquered Shengchi County in Henan Prefecture all day and night, and the rebels in Xin'an County entered Luoyang Prefecture. He sent a messenger to urge Yu Dusi to quickly arrest the Yanshi rebels and encircle Luoyang City with the general.
."
Zhu Yunxi tilted his head and looked at Zhu Gaochi: "The battle is going well, the general is as fast as ever."
After finishing speaking, Zhu Yunxi looked at Xiaopang with a scrutinizing look.
Zhu Gaochi, who was being stared at, squeaked, took a step back and said: "After the general's assignment in Shengchi County and Xin'an County, all the rebels in the two places were executed in front of the battle, leaving no one alive. The general explained that it is important to quell the rebellion in Henan Province.
The surrender of soldiers and prisoners will delay the opportunity of fighting and cannot be kept."
Zhu Yunxi frowned immediately when he heard this.
Zhu Gaochi continued: "The general's move on the military formation is indeed correct. This move can also deter the rebels and traitors in Luoyang City. However... some of the people killed were also coerced.
The rebellious local warriors and common people will be somewhat tarnished to the court's face. And the general's surrender of soldiers without leaving prisoners will also stimulate the remaining rebels stationed in the area to have the idea of fighting to the death, so..."
Zhu Yunxi hummed: "At this time, what does the Sansi Yamen say?"
Zhu Gaochi immediately said: "The matter was sent here before dawn this morning, and the Third Division also just knew about it. The Dusi 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 were all within reason. But after the war, no matter what happened to the rebels and traitors, they should be convicted by the two bureaus and the court. The general's move is suspected of overstepping his bounds." "What do you think?"
Zhu Yunxi did not comment on the attitude and opinions of the Sansi Yamen of Henan Province, but asked what the fat man in front of him thought.
Zhu Gaochi looked up at Zhu Yunxi and began to ponder with a thoughtful expression on his face.
After a while, he slowly spoke: "In my opinion, this is the time to appoint people. The general is commanding troops to put down the rebellion. His military power must not be disturbed. If he makes a mistake, he should make a decision afterwards."
After saying this, Zhu Gaochi stared at Zhu Yunxi faintly.
He said quietly: "And the most important thing is, how will you view the general's behavior at this moment..."
