, the fastest update of the latest chapter of The General is So Fierce! Ge Boyi imprisoned himself in the state prison, just pretending to plead guilty, but as long as the imperial edict of dismissal was not issued for a day, he would still be the military envoy of Hedong, and the states of Hedong The highest military and political officer.
Ge Boyi was assassinated in the Luliang Mountains. Although the news was not as shocking as the Tianxiong Army's destruction in Datong, it still caused huge waves.
Yangguang's old road starts from Tianmen Pass in the east and mainly passes through the Dry Erosion Valley in the hinterland of Luliang Mountain, so it is also called Tianmen Pass Road or Dry Erosion Valley Road. It was originally narrow and winding, and was blocked by panicked refugees.
After receiving the letter, Guo Zhongxiong, the magistrate of the state, Xun Yannian, the recorder and military officer, Qian Zerui, the manager and military officer, the magistrate of Kelan County, the inspection envoy of Hengliang Ridge and others arrived at the canyon where the accident occurred until the afternoon of the next day.
When Ge Boyi left Kelan City, in order to show his sincerity in pleading guilty, he left a group of personal guards and soldiers of the Ge family in Kelan City. No matter how anxious he was after receiving the news, the road was congested, so he was dragged to Yuzhou Yamen for reinforcements. The horses rushed to the assassination canyon together.
The bonfire has long been extinguished, and the ashes are dancing in the canyon with the swirling cold wind.
Guo Zhongxiong stood stunned in the cliff valley as if the sky had fallen.
The seven wounded prisoners were tied tightly and their mouths were stuffed with cloth strips, making it impossible for them to commit suicide; the corpses of the eleven assassins were neatly placed in the camp.
In the team escorting Ge Boyi, Ge Yu and others, in addition to seven soldiers and nine Ge clan generals who died in the assassination, Ge Huai, the commander of the Lanzhou Xiang Army, also died of serious injuries and died of blood loss.
In addition, thirty-seven asylum seekers who fled from Lanzhou to Taiyuan suffered unreasonable disasters and were brutally killed by assassins' swords and bows. There were even more injured people who were injured by swords and arrows or were trampled in a hurry and fell into the cliff. Hundreds of people and the corresponding sufferers are still waiting in the canyon.
"Guo Langjun, these thieves are so arrogant and bold that they pretended to be thieves and assassinated me. If General Xu of the Supervisory Army Envoy Yuan Yuan had not led his troops to come to the rescue, you would have had to come over and collect my body for me - what a shame for these thieves. It’s outrageous that so many innocent travelers have been implicated. If we don’t catch the mastermind behind this, what will happen to God?”
At this time, Ge Boyi had taken off his prison uniform and put on his armor and military uniform. His old and withered face was still able to show some power against the frosty white beard and hair. He sat in the camp with his sword pressed and took the stunned Guo Zhongxiong and others. The man called to his side and said,
"The road is congested. Guo Langjun, you came here too late. I won't blame you. These thieves who were captured alive have not spoken at this time. I am inconvenient to abuse lynching. I also want to invite Guo Langjun and Lu Shi to join the army. Si Li joined the army to interrogate and investigate together. Other unrelated travelers who were involved in this case, before I waited for Guo Langjun and you to come over, I had people record testimonies for many victims. Many signs showed that the Privy Envoy was a private guest. Yue Hailou, the former first general of the Jingsheng Army, is involved in this matter, and I hope you will investigate thoroughly!"
Xun Yannian, who joined the army as a recorder, and Qian Zerui, who joined the army as manager, both had the right to question the prison.
According to the imperial decree, if a major case occurs in the state, the records officer, manager officer, etc. should be responsible for the investigation and interrogation first. After the cause of the case is found out, the judicial officer will select the corresponding laws and regulations and hand them over to the prefect. Judgment.
However, of course, Ge Boyi could not leave it to Guo Zhongxiong to adjudicate this assassination case. At this time, he just ordered him to investigate on the spot with Xun Yannian, Qian Zerui and others, conduct a surprise interrogation of the criminals, and point the finger at Yue Hai Tower first. Let’s talk about it first.
Xu Huai also meant this.
As the leader of the main war faction, Cai Ting was involved in so many areas that both the government and the public were involved.
The future, wealth and lives of countless people were tied to Cai Ting; at this time, the main war faction headed by Cai Ting had not yet lost power in the court.
In any case involving Cai Ting, even officials will have various scruples. It would undoubtedly be extremely unwise for them to directly point the finger at the core generals of the warring faction like Cai Ting or Liu Shizhong.
And even if they pointed the finger at Yue Hailou, they would not directly accuse him of being a collaborator. Anyway, killing him first was closely related to Ge Boyi's assassination.
After this step is completed, the next step is to take the wounded prisoners and the witnesses and evidence, including many corpses, to Taiyuan Mansion and hand them over to the Department of Prisons for investigation. In the future, Yue Hailou may not be implicated in the crime of collaborating with the enemy and surrendering to the enemy.
Up?
"Xun Yannian and Qian Zerui obeyed the emissary's order." Guo Zhongxiong remained silent, while Xun Yannian and Qian Zerui said in unison.
Qian Zerui has nothing to do with the Cai family, so the case will be dealt with in an official manner, and there is no need to take the risk to do anything for the Cai family in front of Ge Boyi; even in his opinion, no matter how the Ge family shirks the blame, the Tianxiong Army
Thirty thousand soldiers were killed in Yunshuo, which was doomed to the Ge family's loss of power.
Xun Yannian, who joined the army as a recorder, even made good friends with Wang Zhen, Wang Fan and his son, and Zhu Hang. He also immediately sent his warehouse Xun Tingheng to the military envoy and sent him to Wang Fan as an official. He rushed to the scene and immediately
From the dead bodies, he recognized Chen Tai and others who had accompanied Yue Hailou to the state government many times, and recognized the wounded prisoner Liu Wugong as a military official who was with Cai Qing when he was in charge of military affairs in the northwest.
Of course, there is absolutely no reason for him to help Cai Xi cover up anything.
However, Ge Boyi had just been captured and driven away by Wang Fan in Shuozhou, and was assassinated by Yue Hailou and his troops. However, Zhu Hang sent Xu Huai and his men to rescue him in time. Xun Yannian was also worried about everything.
It's really a bit confusing.
What the hell is going on?
When Xun Yannian was in the state government office early in the morning, in addition to Ge Boyi and Xu Huai who sent people to deliver the message, there were also a few fleeing travelers who hurriedly returned to Kelan City to report the case to the state government office.
These people's description of the assassination was somewhat bizarre, and they also mentioned that Xu Huai was the son of Wang Xiaocheng, the former commander of the Jingsheng Army.
Xun Yannian rushed to the crime scene and after meeting Ge Boyi, he saw many soldiers in the camp, but Xu Huai was nowhere to be seen. When Qian Zerui and the lost Guo Zhongxiong walked away, he could not restrain his confusion and surprise.
, asked Ge Boyi in a low voice: "May I ask Xianggong Ge, why is General Xu not here?"
"Xu Du will be ordered by Mr. Zhu Hang to rescue our government. After driving away the assassin, our government will have other important matters assigned to him. Xu Du will rush to Taiyuan at this time!" Ge Boyi said.
Seeing that Ge Boyi had no intention of revealing what task he had assigned to Xu Huai and the others, Xun Yannian could only bow and go to investigate the murder case first...

As an important town in the east of Hedong, Taiyuan was promoted to Bingzhou (Bingzhou) as its capital at the beginning of the dynasty. As the residence of the Hedong Road Supervisor, it was also the most prosperous and prosperous place between the Yellow River and Taihang.
The dike of Fenshui River is in ruins, making it difficult for large boats to sail. However, the main ferry terminals are still preserved, and ferries mainly connect business travelers on the east and west sides of Fenshui River. These ferry terminals have also gradually developed into major towns and ports outside Taiyuan City.
Yulinwu is located on the Fenshui River in the south of Taiyuan City.
Kong Zhou and Liu Wugong were sitting in a tea shop near the water, with their sabers casually placed on the square table. They watched many people hurriedly heading south from Taiyuan City.
Tianxiong's army overthrew
After the news of the destruction of Datong came, not only the gentry and wealthy households from Lanxin and other places fled to Taiyuan City from the north, but many people in Taiyuan City also hurriedly fled south with their families.
Kong Zhou, who was trapped in Taiyuan after Chen Qi disappeared and was not allowed to lead his troops back to Tangzhou without permission, saw this with great disdain: "These guys are as timid as rats. If Taiyuan City can't make them feel at ease, how can they still be there?"
Where can I escape to?"
"Who could have thought that the Tianxiong Army would be defeated so miserably before? Everything is uncertain. Do you think that Taiyuan City will be able to be defended if the captives march south?" Liu Wugong shook his head and said, "If I hadn't advised you in every possible way before, you would have almost suffered.
Then Chen Qi encouraged him to go and ask for a fight? If that were the case, would you and I still be able to drink tea here leisurely and not be timid about commenting on these passers-by?"
"As a military officer, being wrapped in horse leather, even if you die in battle, it is better than not being able to advance or retreat at this time! And you still have to be arrogant all day long!" Kong Zhou shouted angrily, "I don't care too much, in three days it will be over.
Without waiting for the documents from the state government, I led my troops back south. Chen Qi disappeared for no reason. Who knows if he was hiding or if he was tricked by someone while visiting the brothel? Anyway, I have a clear conscience and I can't go back to Tangzhou.
Don’t be afraid of interrogation!”
At this juncture, two battalions of Xiang troops from other states were stranded outside Taiyuan City. The Department of Capital Affairs under the jurisdiction of the Hedong Economic Envoy Office could not ignore them unless they were shut out of the city.
Keeping an eye on him, military officials came over every day to urge them to get on the road quickly.
Kong Zhou was impatient and sent people several times to search for Chen Qi's traces but to no avail, so he wanted to lead his troops back to Tangzhou first.
But it was Liu Wugong who advised him in every possible way, and even used the profits from the sale of the privately carried goods to subsidize the food and accommodation of more than a thousand people outside Taiyuan City. Of course, he also did some sneaky things.
"One day, it's time for Dong Zhizhou to send people to Taiyuan," Liu Wugong sighed, "Don't talk nonsense, there are too many things in this world that you can't explain clearly without doing anything - we won't wait for Dong Zhizhou
"I just led my troops back like this, but I can't explain anything clearly. It's hard to say whether I can save my head!"
At this time, dozens of knights galloped to the teahouse and suddenly stopped. The knights on horseback were all wearing armor and carrying large bows and crossbows. Their robes were stained with blood, and they had a shocking and murderous aura.
Kong Zhou and Liu Wugong also stared at these people's armor in horror at first.
When Kong Zhou saw Xu Wuqi's face clearly, the anger in Kong Zhou's chest was burning. He jumped out of the window and was about to step forward, pull Xu Wuqi off his horse and beat him up: "Your mother, you son of a bitch, these...
Why don't you let that bitch smother you to death if you run away from that bitch's crotch?"
"Whoa!"
Seeing someone sneaking up on Xu Wuqi, three sharp-edged spears stood in front of Kong Zhou to prevent him from approaching Xu Wuqi; the knights on both sides immediately drew their longbows and aimed at the general who suddenly jumped out of the tea shop.
This big guy came out.
"Yeah!" Kong Zhou was startled. He hit the ground with his palm, and instantly jumped back a few feet. He dragged a square table under the eaves of the tea shop in front of him to block the incoming shots at any time.
Sharp clusters.
"Stop. It's one of our own!"
Xu Wuqi signaled the left and right to put away their bows and spears, dismounted with Xu Huai, kicked the square table in front of Kong Zhou into pieces, and said,
"I was ordered by Ge Boyi, the Hedong Economic and Strategic Envoy, to mobilize the Tangzhou Liangxiang Army to garrison in Shuozhou. Do you follow the order?" []
