"Guo En was killed and was sentenced to be quartered with five horses. The person who gave the order was Wei Ge Ning, and the person who carried out the order was Wei Ge Ning's deputy general Zhang He."
Yun Zheng was a little surprised when he heard the news reported by the monkey. According to Wei Ge Ning Ling's current situation, he should accept Guo En's conditions. This should be his only way to survive.
However, Yun Zheng thought about it and understood why Wei Ge Ning Ling did this.
The one who was sorry for him was Wu Zangying Pang, not the Xixia Kingdom, and not the little puppet emperor in the court. The weakest one now was the royal family. Wei Ge would rather be a member of the royal family, but now even though Wu Zangying Pang was
There is no place for persecution. He can hate and hide his lies, but he will not have much hatred for the entire Xixia Dynasty.
Moreover, in Yun Zheng's view, the biggest reason why Wu Zangying Pang forced Wei Ge Ning Ling to the point of no where to go was probably because he wanted to see Wei Ge Ning Ling surrender to the Song Dynasty.
In this way, the Xixia royal family will be despised by all Xixia people. Once Wei Ge Ning orders the surrender to the Song Dynasty, there will definitely be nothing to say if there is no hidden conspiracy.
I'm afraid that the day Wei Ge Ning ordered to surrender to the Song Dynasty was the moment when Wu Zang and Pang killed Li Liangzuo and established themselves as king.
Since there is no hidden purpose to blackmail Pang, no wonder Guo En is able to live a prosperous life in Xixia Kingdom. Not only can he easily contact Wei Ge Ningling, but he can also send his secret messages from Xixia. Because of all this
They are all what Wu Zangying expected and loved to hear and see.
Wei Ge Ning Ling is not an incompetent person. He may have seen that there is no conspiracy to blackmail Pang, but he has no military rations and no weapons in his hands. The soldiers are also old and weak. Under this situation, Guo En brought the rations and grass.
With weapons and ulterior motives coming to him, how could he not accept it? Not only did he fully accept Guo En's assistance, but after the goal was achieved, Guo En was cut into pieces and told to the world, so as to revive the world.
It is not impossible that the morale of the royal family is weakening.
Thinking of this, Yun Zheng picked up a command arrow and said to the monkey: "Give this command arrow to Liang Ji and tell him that he can take his troops to the land of Hequ and bring the head of Wei Ge Ning Ling to him within ten days."
I, don’t alert the Hequ defenders!”
When Su Xun saw the monkey going out with the command arrow, he sighed and said, "I'm very happy that you can make this decision to wipe the butt of these civil servants."
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "Brother Wei, Ning Ling, has the consciousness. Do you think I, Yun Zheng, don't have it?"
Su Xun smiled bitterly and said: "You really shouldn't have other thoughts at this time. No matter what, we are all on the ship of the Song Dynasty, and we should work together to help each other."
Yun Zheng picked up the pen again and continued writing the memorial. After writing for a while, he put down the pen and said: "There must be no less impeachment!"
Su Xun looked up at Yun Zheng and said, "This is natural!"
Chen Lin wandered outside Yunzheng's tent for a long time, not knowing how to explain this matter to Yunzheng. Not long ago, when Yunzheng dispatched Hequ Guanlangtan as the vanguard, he asked Chen Lin about his brother Ning Ling.
At that time, Yun Zheng's opinion was that Lang Tan should kill Wei Ge Ning Ling's remnants before going into battle. However, Chen Lin gave him a very definite answer, that is, no need. They were fully confident that Wei Ge
Ning Ling would fall to the Song Dynasty.
The result was not good. Wei Ge Ning Ling was just trying to get what he wanted from the Song Dynasty. After he got what he wanted from the Song Dynasty, he immediately turned his back and spread his message to the world, claiming that he would fight the Song Dynasty to the end.
He despised the Song Dynasty people's arrogant behavior.
Guo En was turned into five pieces of rotten meat, and the face of Pang Ji and others was lost. As the slogan spread everywhere, the Song people became a model of overestimating their own capabilities and were despised by others.
Chen Lin could even think of how furious the emperor must be on the hospital bed. He was furious but could not get angry. This would kill the emperor. At this time, he only hoped that Pang Ji and the others could suppress this matter completely. He also hoped that
Yun Zheng was able to immediately destroy the Youxiang Chaoshun Army Division, an army that had humiliated the Song people.
Yunzheng's face must not look too good. The Hequ army set off three days ago. Now, except for the 6,000 men and horses stationed at the border pass, there is no force left near Hequ Pass.
Although there are still a large number of troops at Yanmen Pass, these troops are already preparing to leave. When everything is ready, a partial division must be sent to destroy Wei Ge Ning's order, which will affect the overall dispatch of the army.
Holding back her shame, Chen Lin walked into Yun Zheng's tent. The tent was as warm as spring. Yun Zheng was sitting at the top dealing with military affairs. Su Xun was sitting on the side dealing with various official documents. Han Niu was holding a handle.
Chang Dao stood at the door of the tent, dozing off and on. Yun Zheng seemed not to know about Guo En's murder.
Yun Zheng looked up and saw Chen Lin walking in, so he motioned for him to sit down and pointed to the official documents on his case, meaning he wanted him to wait for a while.
Chen Lin sat down at the bottom and took a cup of tea from Han Niu without drinking it, just stared blankly.
I don't know how long it took, but Yun Zheng finally finished writing the official document, sealed it with wax, and gave it to Han Niu, asking him to immediately send an additional eight hundred miles to the capital as a rush, and then he looked at Chen Lin and said.
"This matter cannot be concealed, but we cannot let His Majesty know that we have already failed in our duty because of the unfavorable start. It is not worth it if His Majesty is troubled again because of this matter."
Chen Lin was surprised and said: "The commander already knows?"
Yun Zheng narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "This is my battlefield. I should be the first to know about any trouble."
Chen Lin stood up and bowed her head.
"Forget it, if this matter is pursued and no one can be successful, it will only damage our reputation after all. It also allowed Wu Zangyipang to complete his plan to kill someone with a borrowed knife. He has won one round, but from now on,
From now on, there can only be one voice on the battlefield, and that is my voice, Yun Zheng.
Song, Liao and Xixia, the three countries are actually mortal enemies, and there is no possibility of compromise. Now it is different from the early years. At that time, the power between the three countries and ourselves had not yet formed, and there was still room for compromise. Now, there is no room for compromise.
Once a war begins, the person who will die the fastest is the person who makes no distinction between ourselves and the enemy. Not only will we kill him, but our enemies will also kill him. The reason for doing this is to leave a clean space for everyone to fight."
Chen Lin said: "I made a mistake, so I will naturally apologize to your majesty. Now that the matter has come out, I also ask the commander to send troops quickly to clarify Wei Ge Ning's order. Otherwise, once he joins forces with Xiao Dahu, Hequ City will be in danger."
Yun Zheng looked at Chen Lin for a while, then sighed and said, "Liang Ji's 12,000 men have already set off. As long as Wei Ge Ning Ling hasn't found a hiding place, there will be military reports in ten days."
Chen Lin didn't expect that Yun Zheng had already responded, and she bowed her hands in shame and was about to leave.
"Although this matter will be resolved, I will still hand over the ammunition..."
Chen Lin cupped her hands again and said: "It should be so!"
Yun Zheng waited for Chen Lin to leave before saying to Su Xun: "Everyone dares to take responsibility. This kind of people are actually the most terrifying. They do stupid things without fear, and end up with a good reputation.
Compared with such people, I like Li Chang better. He knows what he is good at, knows what he should do, and does not touch areas that he is not familiar with.
Alas, I just want to fight a peaceful battle, why are there so many troubles?"
Su Xun knew that Yun Zheng was complaining, but did not answer. He was busy dealing with the overwhelming number of military reports, constantly putting aside some important military reports and handling some unimportant ones. He felt that Yun Zheng was too idle.
, the army is about to set off, and as a coach with so many things to do, it is better to do more practical things than to use his energy on slander.
After processing the secret message of the army, Yun Zheng carefully sealed the secret message, handed it to the spy sent by Chen Lin, stretched himself, and walked out of the big tent.
I didn't leave the military tent all day long. When I walked out, I found that the sky was covered with thick clouds, and large snowflakes fell from the clouds. I don't know how long it had been snowing, and the ground was already completely white.
This is the first snow since the beginning of winter. There was a severe drought in Hedong this year. It rained twice in total in autumn. It has not snowed since late autumn. At this time in previous years, there have been at least two heavy snows.
.
Because the military tent itself stands on a high place, you can easily see the entire Yanmen Pass. Now, this majestic pass has been shrouded in heavy snow, and it looks blurry, but it has another kind of misty beauty, mainly because it is missing.
With those fluttering flags, Yanmen Pass returned to ancient times in an instant.
Surrounded by his own soldiers, Yun Zheng began to monitor his military camp in the heavy snow.
The military camp was quiet at this time. Except for the sergeants at various sentry posts, the rest of the sergeants were hiding in their barracks to warm themselves up. Light blue smoke came out of the chimney, and was suppressed by the white snow after a while.
It is no longer possible to achieve the majesty that once permeated the whole city.
There are coal mines near Yanmen Pass. In the past, because the charcoal gas of coal was too heavy, people would be injured by the gas if they were not careful. Therefore, even if there is charcoal here in Yanmen Pass, people still like to use wood to burn it.
Charcoal for heating.
Yun Zheng has studied the vegetation near Yanmen Pass. The farther away from Yanmen Pass and the crowds, the more lush the vegetation is. The closer to Yanmen Pass, the more barren it becomes. This is the result of people's continuous cutting down for thousands of years. Nowadays, everyone
After using charcoal, within four or five years, the hills near Yanmen Pass were covered with shrubs.
Most of the troops in the army used iron stoves produced by Eagle's Nest for heating. This type of iron stove was particularly valuable in such cold days.
There was a large iron kettle sitting on the stove, with boiling water in it. The water vapor filled the room, making the whole room very warm.
Some sergeants found some soybeans from nowhere and roasted them on the stove. As the beans crackled, they laughed and grabbed the soybeans from the stove to eat.
"These bastards actually eat horse food!"
The monkey was about to kick open the door to reprimand the soldiers, but Yun Zheng held him back. Then he saw the commander walking along the edge of the military camp with a smile, without disturbing those who rarely had a day of leisure because of the heavy snow.
