Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2473 Expelling the Tartars
Xue Rengui suppressed his smile, looked at Changsun Guang, and said in a cold voice: "No matter whether there is conclusive evidence or not, Changsun Guang's suspicion cannot be cleared away. I was going to send him to Chang'an for interrogation by the Ministry of War. Do you have any objections?"

Everyone was stunned and looked at each other. It was Linghu Chang who stood up and questioned: "Xue Sima, this soldier has violated military discipline. He has always been inspected and interrogated by the Weiwei Temple. Why should he be escorted to the Ministry of War?"

Since entering the Tang Dynasty, the power of the Ministry of War has been weakened repeatedly.

Although the Ministry of War is nominally in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, Weiwei Temple has been in charge of military discipline inspections since the founding of the country in the early Tang Dynasty. Although ministers have repeatedly suggested that this power should be returned to the Ministry of War, the emperor has not issued an edict for a long time.

Therefore, until now, all soldiers in the army who violated military discipline will be handed over to Weiwei Temple for interrogation and disposal.

Xue Rengui didn't bother to argue with Linghu Chang, Weiwei Temple was the old lair of the Guanlong family, from Wei Weiqing down to a groom who feeds the horses, they were all Guanlong's children, and sent Changsun Guang to Weiwei Temple, There are plenty of ways for those people to escape.

He said impatiently: "If Linghu joins the army and has any objections to this general's decision, either please go to the Anxi Duhu Mansion to sue this general in front of the Daduhu, or simply go to the Political Affairs Hall to submit a memorial to impeach this general, but This place is in the army, and the military order is like a mountain, which cannot be questioned!"

Xue Rengui had never been an indecisive person. Maybe he still had some scruples about executing Changsun Guang in public, but he was only sent to Chang'an for trial, and no one could stop him.

Indeed, today's Tang army, especially the army in the Gyeonggi and Western Regions, is still dominated by the Guanlong nobles, but Fang Jun standing behind him is not easy to be with!
Every force is full of vigor when it rises, but after becoming famous, it will inevitably become corrupted. If it cannot cut off the carrion and replenish blood in time, it will inevitably slip into the abyss of decay.

In today's Tang army, the lofty but downhearted nobles of Guanlong are already in a precarious situation, while the new generation of forces led by Fang Jun is gradually rising.

Obviously, the power of the new generation is far from enough to compete with the deep-rooted and intertwined old forces, but with Fang Jun as a banner, who would dare to underestimate it?
And he, Xue Rengui, is Fang Jun's number one general!

There was silence in the battalion commander, and the generals looked at each other without saying a word.

People from Guanlong didn't dare to persecute Xue Rengui too much. After all, this place is in the army, and no one can disobey the orders of the commander in wartime.

While the rest of the crowd clapped their hands and applauded, although they didn't dare to show it, they were really happy in their hearts.

Xue Rengui stared at Linghu Chang, and said, "What do you say about Linghu joining the army?"

Linghu Chang sighed inwardly, shook his head slowly, and said: "The last general dare not question, and obey Sima's order."

The nobles of Guanlong are gradually looking like the sun is declining, how can he, a disciple of Guanlong, not know?Now Guan Long has very few high-level generals in the Western Army, no matter how many middle-level officers there are, they can only make people fearful, but they can't affect the decision-making of high-level officers.

If even the signboard of "Guanlong" is smashed, it will really never stand up again...

But what can he do?
At this moment, if Xue Rengui wanted to behead Changsun Guang in public, the children from Guanlong in the army could still fight against the enemy and stop him, but they just escorted Changsun Guang back to Beijing, and if they continued to resist, it would be nothing but nonsense.

Xue Rengui nodded and said: "Remove this man and all the soldiers under his command that day, take off their armor, verify their integrity, and take them to Chang'an immediately!"

"Here!"

Several personal soldiers stepped forward like wolves and tigers, stripped off Chang Sun Guang's armor, and pushed him to go out.

At this moment, a soldier rushed in from the tent door, panting and shouted loudly: "Report to Sima! A message came from Gongyue City just now, saying that there are still survivors who were sent by Colonel Gao Zhenxing to report the news that day. It’s just that he was injured when he fell off the horse and couldn’t walk, so he hid and is still returning to Gongyue City.”

Hearing this news, Changsun Guang's complexion changed and his eyes rolled a few times.

He is not afraid that there are still soldiers under Gao Zhenxing's command alive, except that he can prove Gao Zhenxing's actions and win him a posthumous honor, there is nothing to explain.

As long as there is no Zheng Sanwa's body... The vast Gobi, rolling yellow sand, as long as I and the two soldiers who handled Zheng Sanwa's body are not mentioned, where can I find Zheng Sanwa's body?

But now another scout came out, the two of them must have been together before he fell off the horse, and the two separated from the place where he fell off the horse, and when he left the city and went south, this period of time was enough to kill Zheng Sanwa. The locations narrowed down to a very small area.

It is not difficult to find.

He was a little careless at the time, and he didn't ask his own soldiers how to dispose of Zheng Sanwa's body. It would be fine if he buried it on the spot. If it was easy, he would just throw it away at random. It just so happened that no wild beasts were found in the past two days, or Even if there are no wild beasts to patronize, but they haven't been devoured, you can still check the cause of death...

Changsun Guang was sweating again.

Xue Rengui glanced at Changsun Guang coldly, and immediately changed his mind: "There is no rush to escort Changsun Guang to Beijing. Now that the Arabs are fleeing in a hurry, and they are about to reach Hengluosi, we should not rush into its territory for a long distance. If there is no change in the future, I will return to Gongyue City, and I will personally take care of this matter at that time!"

All the disciples of Guanlong changed their expressions.

Their thinking is the same as that of Changsun Guang. If it is said that because there was no evidence before, even if Xue Rengui wished to cut Changsunguang into five horses, he could only endure this tone, but now he has found another scout. Once identified, he even found him The scout killed by Changsun Guang is very likely to exist... Xue Rengui definitely dares to punish Changsun Guangming in front of the three armies.

Xue Rengui looked around with awe-inspiring eyes, and said solemnly: "From now on, from the generals to the soldiers, if there is no warrant from the general, those who leave the battle without authorization will be punished by fleeing! Even the scouts in the army will be punished every three hours. One rotation, and those who do not return after the time limit, the captain is equivalent to the crime!"

Changsun Guangzhi's behavior is not visible, except for the parties around him, he will definitely not tell others that the scout who only showed up until now is not in danger in Gongyue City, but he wants to completely prevent anyone in the army from secretly returning to Gongyue City Kill people.

When everyone in the tent heard this, the disciple of Guan Long, who was secretly thinking of this idea, suddenly stopped thinking.

……

In the early morning of the next day, the army broke out of camp and set off, continuing to pursue the footsteps of the Arabs.

The Tang army completely took the initiative on the battlefield. They dared to rest, but the Arabs did not dare. The distance between the two was less than half a day. Even if the Tang army camped, they would not dare to follow suit. Just after taking a break, what should Tang Jun do to confuse the enemy?
After running for the whole night, the Arab soldiers were exhausted and couldn't hold on, and the scouts reported back that Tang Jun was still missing, so Mu'awiya firmly believed that Tang Jun had rested overnight.

Chapter 310: Expelling the Tartars

Quickly ordered to rest on the spot, the army is not only exhausted all the way to escape, the most important thing is to be hungry!
Tang Jun chased after him and kept harassing them. Regardless of them, he kept attacking and killing the rear army. When he gathered a large force of cavalry to fight to the death, Tang Jun ran far away again.

Chasing but not daring to chase, if Tang Jun is playing around with a flower gun and chasing and killing his own infantry, the whole army will collapse, and he can't run away. Tang Jun is sticking to it like a piece of brown sugar... …

Along the way, all the pride and conceit in Mu'awiya's heart were thrown out of the sky, and all ambitions were wiped out.

He thought that he could conquer twice as many troops as Damascus, even if he could not penetrate the Silk Road and enter the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, he would still be able to conquer the scattered Western Regions. .

He didn't have the heart to resent that cousin Caliph at the moment. Even without that letter, he never withdrew his troops before the battle, and he was still not Tang Jun's opponent.

Regardless of equipment, weapons, and the quality of individual soldiers, the Arab army, which was once proud of being invincible in Europe and Asia, is completely at a disadvantage.

At this moment, he just wants to return to Damascus as soon as possible, first to stabilize the situation, and then wait for an opportunity to seize the throne of Caliph, and then organize the army to attack the Western Regions again, and even conquer the Tang Dynasty!

However, these strategies of his were still in his mind, and the army that had just rectified the fire and cooking on the spot was once again in an uproar.

Tang Jun came after him again...
