Chapter 222 The bandits are as honest as the third grandson
Beijing, Qinzheng Hall
In the early morning court, Li Dingyuan sat high on the throne and looked ugly.
Gao Zhan smiled and squinted his eyes, and when he occasionally raised his drooped eyelids, it was as if a bright light flashed in the hall.
Among the ministers, Li Huaiyuan, Minister of War, knelt on the ground, trembling.
"Transfer Su Lu to Xiting and annihilate the remnants of Xiahou Wei's army. Is this the strategy of your military department?"
Li Dingyuan's voice was like ice cubes in the cold winter months.
Zhou Shilang went out and knelt down: "Your Majesty, it is true that there is no one available for the generals in the army. The generals sent to Xiting were defeated one after another. The old generals in the capital discussed it and thought that only Su could defeat Xia Houwei securely.
General Lu alone."
"Wow"
Li Dingyuan pushed down the pile of memorials at his side, his anger was like thunder in June.
"There's only one Su Lu, hahaha"
"In the last Beiyang war, you also said that only Su Lu was safe."
"A few days ago, in order to protect Beiyang Liangdao, you also said that only Su Lu was safe."
"Now, you tell me that only Su Lu is suitable!"
"Come and tell me, I only have one General Su Lu. Should I cut him into three pieces for you to use so that your military department can be secure?"
"The war in the Western Qin Dynasty has resumed. The Tang Dynasty has stationed troops in Shangshan. The war is about to break out. Do I need to cut off a few more pieces to satisfy your wishes?"
The emperor's roar echoed in the hall.
…
In the back camp of Lintao Tunbao, Su Ping asked Chen Si: "Why is your head wrapped in gauze? Who bullied you? Have you beaten him back?"
Chen Si said hesitantly: "When we were delivering the grain and grass just now, a general told us to go back quickly and transport grain to them."
Su Lu raised his chin when he heard this: "Then what did you say?"
Chen Si lowered his head and said, "I scolded him and he was beaten."
Su Ping had a hot temper and started scolding: "Where are your soldiers? Why don't you fight them back? When I followed my second brother to fight on the left, these grandsons were pretending to be grandsons in the back, and now they are pretending to be big-tailed wolves.
, I will kill him."
"Hey, Lieutenant Su is so angry. I'm standing here, come and kill me."
The mocking voice sounded, and Liang Pu, the commander of the Dingding Army in a crimson robe, stood behind him and spoke in a sinister tone. Behind him were groups of forbidden troops.
Su Ping raised his eyebrows. There were many people on the other side, and his second brother was not here. This grandson's title was greater than his own. If there was a fight, he would be the one to suffer. So he had to wait and see.
Seeing that Su Lu was silent, Liang Pu smiled proudly and said in an arrogant tone:
"This is the camp, it's the central army, not your left army. Be careful what you say. Besides, you are now a food transport team, transport envoys. Don't act like a big-tailed wolf here."
"you"
Su Ping's eyes were bursting with anger and he couldn't hold back his anger. He was about to go up and hit Liang Pu, but Chen Si Tudun'er hugged him.
"Snapped"
A water bowl exploded on Liang Pu's face.
Su Lu came in from outside, clapped his hands, and kicked Tudun'er and Chen Si.
"Hit me. If you are bullied to the point where you dare not hit him back, you are still not one of my soldiers. If you beat him, he won't be able to get out of bed for a month. If you dare to yell at me, I will beat you until you can't take care of yourself."
"beat"
Su Ping broke away from the two of them and kicked Liang Pu down completely.
Liang Pu's guards rushed over.
Chen Si drew his sword in his hand, pointed at the Imperial Guards rushing in front, and said in a cold voice:
"If you don't want to die, just stop. If you dare to take a step forward, whoever you will kill will be killed. Don't blame me, Chen Si, for not telling you in advance."
"If you bully me, I will kill you."
Liang Pu was beaten so that the corners of his mouth were bleeding and his eyebrows were split. When he saw his men who were holding back, he suddenly became angry and yelled:
"Come on, he doesn't dare to use the knife. This is a camp, he doesn't... ah!"
Su Lu next to him swung his knife and chopped off one of Liang Pu's fingers, turning Liang Pu's shouting into a scream.
The Imperial Guards did not dare to move forward. They had heard of Su Lu's reputation more or less. After all, this was the evil star who had caused bloodshed in the capital, and he was a fierce general who even the three provinces were still frightened by when he was mentioned.
Liang Pu's screams quickly summoned the military judge. The military judge looked at Su Lu and then at Liang Pu, who was wailing on the ground. The captain waved his hand.
"It's all gone."
Seeing that the guards were all dispersed, the military judge asked: "What happened to the Imperial Guards? Have you offended the Marquis?"
"You are so brave. You dare to offend the Marquis. Not to mention breaking one of Liang Pu's fingers. Even if you cut off Liang Pu's head, no one in the camp will stand up for Liang Pu."
The Imperial Guards were all stunned. The Beiyang camp had never been so dark before. In the past, when fighting with various armies, the military judges were always at odds with each other. This time, they supported the food transport team with a clear-cut stand.
Liang Pu, who was on the ground, did not dare to cry anymore and struggled to sit up.
"puff"
Su Lu stepped on him.
"Wasn't it great to ridicule my soldiers just now? How do you feel now? Are you feeling aggrieved?"
"Don't show off. If you are not strong enough, you will be struck by lightning if you show off."
Xiao Cong came from behind after receiving the news. He looked at everything in the camp and lowered his attitude and said: "Master Marquis, calm down. General Liang Pu is your Majesty's man. Master Marquis, please calm down."
Xiao Cong glanced at Liang Pu who was lying on the ground and said: "Liang Pu is lawless. He laughs at Pao Ze and threatens his colleagues. He uses a stick to kill a hundred people to lose his memory."
Liang Pu, who was moaning, was dragged out.
Xiao Cong laughed along with him and continued: "It is a great achievement for Lord Marquis to transport the grain and grass here. I will write you a merit report when I get back and ask for merit from Captain Su Ping and all the brothers in the guard camp.
"
There were gasps from the surrounding guards, and the way they looked at Su Lu completely changed.
He cut off someone's finger and was rewarded with a special reward, and Xiao Shuai even said good things to him.
Mr. Su is a real man.
A group of guards and forbidden soldiers were all envious.
Su Lu waved his hand: "Let's go back."
When Xiao Cong saw Liang Pu being beaten, he looked at He Geng at the bottom of the pot with a dark face and smiled without saying anything.
Su Lu was indeed his lucky general. He defeated Lin Tong and allowed him to smoothly control his own military power. The outstanding achievements of the left army made his own prestige, which respected him, even higher.
Now that the Forbidden Army general whom He Geng valued was beaten violently, He Geng's influence in the camp will become less and less.
Xiao Cong's face became even more proud as he smiled.
The next day, the Soviet Army, which had rested all night, set out. When they were leaving the camp gate, the generals and lieutenants in front of the general stand all saluted with attention.
"This is Lord Su Lusu, the Commander-in-Chief of the Left Army."
"Liang Pu's grandson should have been beaten long ago. Well done."
"As expected of me, the number one general in the northern border. Except for General Xiao, the people in our camp are all bastards who caused trouble."
"A real man should be like Mr. Su, who enjoys grudges and will hit whoever he wants."
Su Lu thought to himself that it would be great if he could really hit whoever he wanted.
The grain team left Tunpu, turned east, walked around the foot of the mountain for a while, then turned south again and passed Zheng Qu.
When the grain team passed Zhengqu, Su Lu's "Song Xia" song was suddenly recited in front of them.
Drinking horses crossing the autumn water, the water is cold and the wind is like a knife.
Su Ping asked Lao Fan next to him and said:
"Are there any bandits' strongholds around here? You are angry, so let's go and kick down the bandit's stronghold to vent your anger."
Old Fan looked at Su Ping in bewilderment, "Captain Su, are you angry? Then Liang Pu can't bear to die. Besides, if you are angry, just vent your anger on the bandits. What kind of hero are you? Go and get Liang Pu."
Go."
Su Ping raised his hand and slapped Lao Fan on his helmet: "Your grandson is the only one who talks a lot. Are there any bandit villages around here?"
Lao Fan picked off the bag, held it in his hand and thought about it for a while, then pointed to the front and said.
"After passing Zhengqu, walk five miles, then turn west, walk three miles, and you will see a bandit stronghold. General Zhang Gu called it the King of Hell's Stronghold. He fought several times, but failed to capture it."
"how many people?"
Su Ping looked at Su Lu on the horse in front of him, sat up straight and asked, if he had someone to vent his anger on, he would go to his second brother to recruit troops later.
Lao Fan curled his lips when he heard this: "There are more than 5,000 people. General Zhang Gu led the troops and fought for four days without defeating them. My people were even captured once. Lao Wang, Wang De, come here and follow Captain Su."
Tell me about your experience in the Yama Village."
Lao Wang led the pack horse over and said with joy when he heard this: "The King of Hell's Village? The King of Hell's Village is good. Although this village is big, he doesn't mess around. He never kills people when he robs wealth."
"By the way, they are still defeated by the Marquis. A bearded leader told me personally that as long as the Marquis leads the troops, their village will never cause trouble, and they will be as honest as the third grandson."
