There was a slight condensation in the handsome tent.
Everyone knew that the Shenji Battalion came to ask for help, but the commander refused to send troops. However, the account was filled with Hou Junji’s confidants. Naturally, no one would question Hou Junji’s intention. The only one who did not count was Hou Junji.
Changsun Chong, who gathered his own people, had the same desire as Hou Junji...
Hou Junji took the battle report with one hand and glanced at Changsun Chong from the end of his eyes.
Although he was still calm, his slightly stagnant expression revealed his inner tension...
Hou Junji frowned even more. Could it be that Zhang Sun Chong really had any involvement or collusion with the Turks?
I opened the battle report and scanned it at a glance, and I immediately took a breath of air!
Less than a hundred people died in the battle?
After killing hundreds of Turkic cavalry, how many hundreds of prisoners were killed?
Wouldn’t it be better to capture Yugushe’s younger brother Ashina alive?
How can this be!
Just rely on the 2,000 infantry soldiers of the Shenji Battalion and more than 10,000 farmers?
Are you kidding me!
Hou Junji's first reaction was that Fang Jun lied about military information and exaggerated his military exploits!
But since the military exploits can be exaggerated, it proves that the entire Shenji Battalion was not wiped out. Could it be that the cavalry were really just horse bandits who wanted to take advantage of the situation?
But there is also Ashina Budai as a prisoner, so how to explain it?
Hou Junji was a little confused.
He was inclined to believe that it was a Turkic cavalry, and Fang Jun's battle report did say so, but was it possible for two thousand infantry to achieve such a result against a thousand Turkic cavalry?
But if it was a horse bandit, what would be Changsun Chong's reaction?
Is it possible that this kid is not colluding with the Turks, but a group of horse bandits, and wants to use the horse bandits to annihilate the Shenji Camp?
Changsun Chong shouldn't be that stupid.
The front leg lied that it was Hou Junji who transferred him from the Shenji Camp. In fact, it was Changsun Chong who asked for the transfer. Immediately afterwards, the Shenji Camp was attacked. If he said that there was no collusion between Changsun Chong, even a fool would not believe it. Only the Shenji Camp would be transferred.
Only when Jiying and Fang Jun are completely annihilated will Changsun Chong's suspicion be cleared. But will this guy be stupid enough to use a ragtag group of horse bandits to annihilate Shenjiying?
Although they are both cavalry, the combat effectiveness of horse bandits and Turkic cavalry cannot be the same.
According to Changsun Chong's character, he shouldn't be so reckless.
After thinking about it, Hou Junji couldn't figure out what was going on.
The only thing that was certain was that Fang Jun was safe and sound, and he must have hated himself for refusing to send troops to rescue him.
Hou Junji has a headache...
After thinking about it, he asked: "The battle report of Shenji Camp shows that a thousand Turkic cavalry raided the camp, were defeated, killed most of them, and captured the enemy general Ashina Fudai alive. What do you think of this?"
Several secretaries in the account were stunned and said in unison: "How is that possible?"
They are all veterans who have been with the army all year round and have some knowledge of military affairs. A thousand Turkic cavalry attacking a camp is enough to collapse an army of tens of thousands. If the timing is good, it is not impossible to disperse an army of tens of thousands.
How could it be possible for a mere two thousand infantrymen from the Shenji Battalion to do this?
It doesn't get any more ridiculous than this!
The second-in-command was probably suppressed so hard by our commander that he went crazy thinking about meritorious service, so he took this trick and pretended to lead the military meritorious service?
Hou Junji glanced at Changsun Chong, who was obviously very surprised: "Changsun Prince Consort, what do you think?"
Changsun Chong's heart almost jumped out of his chest!
He was willing to take the risk and risk everything, but he still failed to kill the second roommate?
What a hell!
Yu Gushe, that bastard, actually promised in the letter that he would send his own soldiers to "attach him", and also said that he would kill all the Tang troops in the Shenji Battalion, leaving no one behind!
Is this what you do?
I was killed by you!
Taking a deep breath, Changsun Chong softened his stiff expression and said with a forced smile: "The Marquis of Xinxiang has great skills in commanding troops. He is truly an unparalleled genius!"
"Haha," Hou Junji sneered: "But I have a lot of doubts about this battle report, so why not let the eldest son's consort go to the Shenji Camp to investigate the authenticity of this matter. If Fang Jun pretends to have military merit, false reports
According to the battle report, Changsun Prince Consort can handle it by himself according to military regulations! But if the battle report is true, it means that I have underestimated the heroes of the world, so I immediately ordered the Shenji Battalion to come all the way, and maybe I can also play a role in the battle to conquer Gaochang City.
, there is no reason to leave behind a strong army that can defeat the Turkic cavalry head-on. I wonder what Changsun’s consort would like?”
Changsun Chong was so angry that he almost cursed.
After all, you are also the commander-in-chief of an army and a dignified prince. How can you be so shameless?
Are you trying to put the responsibility for suppressing Fang Jun on me?
As for the false report of the battle and the pretense of claiming military merit, it is even more nonsense. Didn't you hear that the battle report said that the younger brother of the Turkic Khan Yugushe was captured? No matter how stupid and stupid Fang Jun is, he would not dare to speak nonsense at such a stage.
!
What a shit to deal with!
But no matter how depressed I feel, I have to accept the order. I have to bear the blame. Otherwise, as long as Hou Junji releases the news that he is transferring to the Chinese army's headquarters this time, it is not Hou Junji's original intention at all.
If your eldest grandson requested it yourself, then you would be in big trouble!
The front leg took the initiative to move away, and the back leg Shenji Camp was attacked. Do you know that the Turkic cavalry will attack the camp soon?
"promise!"
Changsun Chong reluctantly accepted the order.
Hou Junji chuckled, and his mood suddenly improved. It was an unexpected joy to be able to hold Chang Sun Chong's pigtails in his hands. Although the idea of suppressing Fang Jun has not been realized for the time being, it is still a lost thing.
…
*************
Early the next morning, Fang Jun saw Changsun Chong, who had transformed into an "imperial ambassador".
Changsun Chong looked at the messy military camp and could almost imagine what kind of brutal fighting happened here last night, and he felt a little guilty...
Hou Junji's military order was read out in public, strictly ordering the Shenji Battalion to cooperate with Chang Sun Chong in investigating the Turkic cavalry attack on the camp, and to count the number of injured, soldiers killed in battle, prisoners killed in the trap, and the man who was said to be Ashina Budai.
Turkic general.
Fang Jun happily accepted the order and said with a smile: "I have to say that Changsun's consort is really lucky. If you go forward, you will encounter Turkic cavalry attacking the camp at night. It is really a noble life of wealth and wealth, unlike us.
, it’s simply unlucky!”
Changsun Chong looked remorseful and sighed, "Who could have expected that there would be Turkic cavalry attacking the camp? If he had known this, how could he have been dispatched by the commander to the Chinese army's tent? He would have to live with his brothers.
Let’s die together and defend against powerful enemies together!”
"Haha, the eldest grandson's consort really puts loyalty first!" Fang Junpi said with a smile: "In the future, there will be many opportunities to have a long talk with the eldest grandson's consort, but the commander-in-chief's military orders are more important. Let's count the number of people first!"
In his mind, Changsun Chong was already listed as the first suspect!
It's just that he has no evidence now, let alone Changsun Chong's motive, so he is willing to give up for the time being. If he finds out that the Turkic cavalry attack on the camp is really related to him, it doesn't matter whether you are Changsun Wuji's son or not.
His Majesty Li Er’s son-in-law, I will skin you!
Brothers like me, our deaths must not be in vain!
Fang Jun took Chang Sun Chong to a soothing sand dune not far from the military camp. Chang Sun Chong was a little puzzled. Fang Jun said: "Aren't we counting the number of prisoners? All the prisoners, whether dead or alive, were trapped here. If they are not dug out,
How to count?”
Changsun Chong's face turned a little pale.
Fang Jun waved his hand and directed the farmers who were transferred: "dig!"
"promise!"
Hundreds of people agreed in unison. Now Fang Jun's prestige has not only reached its peak in the Shenji camp, but these people are also shocked to be a god. He can call the wind, rain, and thunder. Who dares to disapprove?
There is yellow sand everywhere and it is very easy to dig.
A burst of sand and dust flew up, revealing the Turkic prisoners killed yesterday night.
After just one glance, Changsun Chong's legs trembled, his face turned pale, and he almost turned around and ran away in fright.
Fang Jun stretched out his hand, hugged Chang Sun Chong's arm tightly, and said with a smile: "The reason why it is called 'killing' is because many Turkic prisoners were not dead at that time. It can also be called 'buried alive'! Now,
Look at that, he must have been buried by yellow sand and suffocated to death. It must have been very uncomfortable when he was dying. He took a big breath, but everything in his mouth and nose was filled with sand. If his throat and trachea were cut now,
It must be all sand..."
"vomit"
Changsun Chong couldn't bear it anymore and squatted on the ground and retched.
This method of "burying alive" is an extremely horrific death, with corpses stacked one on top of the other. The shocking effect is definitely a huge shock to Chang Sun Chong, a son of a wealthy and wealthy family!
Fang Jun chuckled: "A miserable death? But this is the price for killing my Fang Jun soldiers! In fact, speaking of it, these Turks are really pitiful. They are the most elite fighters of the Turks. They should be galloping in the vast territory.
The grasslands and deserts are the best, but for ten carts of fine iron, I was sold by their sweat, and I had to die miserably!"
Ten carts of fine iron?
Changsun Chong was heartbroken...
Fang Jun stopped torturing Changsun Chong. There was no sense of achievement in torturing such a young master who seemed gentle but was actually a complete weakling.
"Let's go, there are still brothers from the Shenji Battalion who died in the battle who haven't been counted... You said that the commander-in-chief is too heartless. Am I, Fang Jun, the kind of person who lies about his military achievements?" Fang Jun seemed dissatisfied.
As soon as Changsun Chong heard "counting the number of people", his scalp went numb and he said in a trembling voice: "Erlang, in my opinion, there is no need to count people, right? Just report them according to the numbers in your battle report. Who can't believe the character of your second roommate?"
…”
He really didn't want to go through the horror of digging a body out of the sand again...
Fang Jun didn't appreciate it and deliberately opposed him. He said displeasedly: "What did the eldest son-in-law say? Every brother who died in the battle has a name and a surname. They are registered in a register for future reference. It's not just what someone said."
Just a few!"
After saying this, Changsun Chong could not refuse, so he took him back to the military camp.
Contrary to Changsun Chong's expectation, he did not dig sand this time, but came to a large military tent. Changsun Chong was a little puzzled. Wasn't he going to count the number of soldiers who died in the battle?
Are the soldiers who died in the battle still not buried?
Looking at this military tent, Changsun Chong's face turned green. Shouldn't they all be placed here...
He was frightened, but Fang Jun still opened the curtain at the entrance of the military tent and walked in with heavy steps.
Changsun Chong had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow in. His heart was tightening, and he imagined in his mind what kind of terrifying scenes he would see later...
Surprisingly, the military tent was very clean and tidy, with rows of wine jars neatly placed on the ground.
After looking around and finding nothing else, Changsun Chong looked at Fang Jun with some confusion.
Fang Jun stood solemnly and said in a deep voice: "Eighty-five people died on the spot or were seriously injured, and they are all here!"
Changsun Chong was stunned and looked at the wine jars on the floor. Only then did he realize that the sealing area of each wine jar was tightly sealed with cloth, with a personal name written on it.
Are they all cremated and then the ashes collected one by one?
Fang Jun's sad and low voice came to his ears: "The people who died in the battle last night are all here! I brought them from Guanzhong to this desert, so naturally I have to take them back, even if they die! I can't let them
They became lonely ghosts, wandering alone in this foreign land, unable to even find their way home! They died unjustly, not on the battlefield charging the enemy, but under a conspiracy. They died unjustly.
None of them will die with their eyes open! Brothers, if you have souls in heaven, please open your eyes wide and watch carefully, and be sure to find the mastermind behind the scenes, skin him with cramps, and cut him into pieces with a thousand cuts!"
Changsun Chong's face was pale and cold sweat was pouring down his face.
The breeze blew in from the door, blowing over his soaked back, as if something had touched him... An extreme fear surged into his heart, and Changsun Chong felt that there seemed to be something inside the military tent.
are flying around him, are a pair of eyes that are determined to death, and are screams one after another, asking for the life of the person who killed them...
"ah--"
Changsun Chong screamed in collapse, turned around and ran away. Unexpectedly, his legs gave out and he fell to the ground like a dog eating shit...
