Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3805 stabbed the basket
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the rain became more and more dense, and the rain curtain between the sky and the earth was vast.

Duan's private army plundered the nearby villages and returned with a full load without any damage.Although in the eyes of Youtunwei, these powerful and private armies are all mobs and belong to the chickens and dogs that can be defeated at one blow, but for ordinary people, these young and strong soldiers equipped with swords, arrows and leather armor are still irresistible killers. God, several villages were slaughtered and looted, and countless women were brutally raped.

These soldiers were held back for several months, and once they were released, they were naturally excited.

After returning to the camp, he handed over the looted food and fodder, and kept the looted money and silk privately, and the morale of the whole army was high.Especially those soldiers who raped women were even more excited and couldn't help showing off to their companions...

……

These private soldiers are all family members and servants of the powerful, and they have always acted as slaves of the powerful, running rampant in the countryside and doing all kinds of evil. They regard such rape and looting as normal, and instead of being afraid, they are proud of themselves, and even usurped their respective teams in private. , When will the sons of the powerful family go out again...

The white-faced middle-aged man was shocked when he heard the discussion in the army in his tent, he called his nephews over and scolded them savagely.

"My thousands of exhortations, my ten thousand exhortations, only looting food and fodder, not killing people's lives, are you actually ignoring it?"

A few young boys didn't take it seriously: "It's not that we deliberately violated the military order, but that we encountered resistance at the time, so we can't let a group of people hurt our soldiers, right? Unexpectedly, we can't stop at the beginning. But it doesn't matter It's just a few mud-legged people in the district, and now Guanzhong is in chaos, who will take care of such trivial matters?"

"And after this incident, the morale of the soldiers has increased a lot. In my opinion, it can be done a few more times, which is of great benefit to the stability of the army's morale."

The white-faced middle-aged man was trembling with anger, and wanted to teach these bastards a lesson. This is Guanzhong, at the foot of the emperor, and it is not a place where they can do whatever they want...

However, before the words could be spoken, a group of people screamed outside, and someone screamed loudly: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The people in the tent were terrified, and hurried to the door and ran out, only to hear the sound of hoofbeats mixed with the neighing of people beside them.

A cavalry galloped from a distance, swift as thunder and fierce as fire, and slammed into the camp fiercely.

Flying iron hoofs and waving steel knives, they started a ferocious slaughter like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.

The white-faced middle-aged man's face became even paler, and he shouted hysterically: "It's Zuo Wuwei! Cheng Yaojin's army, quickly line up to meet the enemy!"

Pushing all the children of the clan around him forward to try to stop the enemy's charge, he himself turned around, jumped on a horse, turned around and ran away under the guard of his own soldiers.

As one of the most elite troops in the Tang army sequence, Zuo Wuwei has made great achievements in battle, and the general is Lu Guogong Cheng Yaojin, who is good at fighting and has a fire-like personality.Even if they confronted each other face to face, these powerful and private armies would have absolutely no chance of winning, let alone launching a surprise attack at this moment?

The white-faced middle-aged man immediately made a decision, hoping that the soldiers under his command could resist for a while, so as to create time for him to escape...

The Zuo Wuwei cavalry launched a surprise attack in the heavy rain and went straight into the camp. Although some soldiers reacted quickly to resist, but under the charge of the wolf-like Zuo Wuwei, the defense line collapsed instantly.Thousands of Zuowuwei cavalry rampaged and slashed wantonly. They hated these private soldiers who killed people and villages. Kill these powerful and private troops.

Under the heavy rain, Duan's private army was defeated in the face of the unstoppable Zuo Wuwei. The whole camp was crying and howling, wolves rushing and rushing, with corpses lying on pillows and blood flowing into rivers.

In the effort of a cup of tea, thousands of private troops of the Duan Clan in Nanyang were slaughtered, except for a few who took advantage of the chaos to hide.

Cheng Yaojin, who was wearing a helmet and wearing armor, held the reins in one hand and the lance in the other. He stopped and looked at the piles of corpses in front of him. He felt the stagnation in his heart was released slightly. He let out a long breath and said loudly: "Back to camp!"

Right now, although he is refreshed, there will be some difficulties to face in the camp...

"Here!"

Soldiers on the left and right responded with a bang, and countless cavalry turned their horses and galloped along the way they came towards Tongguan.

The gurgling rain left behind a messy camp and corpses everywhere...

*****
"What did you say?"

Under the city gate, inside the government office, Li Jiwen heard the report from the school captain, his eyes widened in astonishment.

"Lu Guogong led his troops straight out of the camp and rushed to Zheng County, where they wiped out the private army of the Duan family in Nanyang outside the county seat, destroyed their camp, and slaughtered thousands of private troops."

"boom!"

Li Ji smashed his teacup on the ground, and burst into anger: "Is there still a commander like me in my heart, and the military discipline of the Tang Dynasty? It's really audacious! Come on, hurry up to Zuo Wuwei and capture Cheng Yaojin Here, I will punish him with military law!"

"Here!"

The soldiers got the order, stepped out quickly, jumped on their horses and went straight to Zuo Wuwei's camp.

Sitting in the government office, Li Ji threw a teacup on the ground, all his usual good self-cultivation disappeared, and the anger in his heart was beyond words.

From the moment the Eastern Expedition withdrew his troops, he has been trying his best to maintain the position of "the two do not help each other". No matter whether the East Palace or Guan Long came to win him over, he would resolutely refuse, at least on the surface, he would never favor one of them. .So until now, both sides in the melee in Chang'an regard him as a huge threat, and they want to win him over, but they have to guard against him.

And this kind of balance is likely to be completely destroyed by Cheng Yaojin so suddenly - don't say whether the powerful private army is poisoning the people and slaughtering the villages, as long as the army under Li Ji's command uses force against the powerful private army, it means that he is making a stand.

Next, this will inevitably lead to a huge change in the situation in Chang'an, which Li Ji does not want and absolutely cannot see.

……

When Cheng Yaojin was brought to front by Wuhuada, Li Ji had a gloomy face, tried his best to suppress his anger, and asked, "As a general in charge of the army, you ignore military discipline, go to war without authorization, and even massacre Paoze, what should you do?"

"Hey!"

Cheng Yaojin respected Li Jisu, but he was definitely not afraid. He widened his eyes at this moment and said, "We'll admit everything else you say. If you want to kill or cut it up, it's up to you! But it's nonsense to say that slaughtering robes Well, those elite private armies are not in the ranks of the Tang army, and they usually run rampant in the villages and oppress the good, and now they have slaughtered several villages. Such a miserable situation is like the anger of the gods, and even the invasion of foreign races is rare. It’s so cruel! That porpoise-like thing, do you think it’s our robe? Pooh! Xu Maogong, are you out of your mind?”

Not only did he not address him as "Marshal", he even called out Li Ji's real name, so angry that Li Ji almost pouted on the spot.

Don't look at him usually gentle, low-key and forbearing, but he has never been a kind-hearted, soft-tempered person. He immediately took the case, pointed at him and cursed: "Old man! Do you really think I dare not kill you?"

Who is Cheng Yaojin?That was the famous and mighty "devil king of the world", he was the most unstingy person, he stuck his neck and shouted: "Come on, come on, my head is here, if you Xu Maogong is a man with a handle , come and pick it up today!"

Li Ji jumped into a rage and shouted: "Come on, push this bastard out and let me chop it up!"

The soldiers were at a loss, and when they came to their senses, they rushed forward and tried to push Cheng Yaojin out. After hearing the news, Yu Chigong, Zhang Liang, Xue Wanche, Ashina Simo and others were shocked when they saw this. He hurriedly rescued Cheng Yaojin, and stepped forward to dissuade him.

Zhang Liang said urgently: "The commander-in-chief calm down, why did this happen?"

Xue Wanche also said: "We have already heard the details, but they are just a group of private soldiers who are not as good as beasts. If you kill them, you will kill them. Why should you punish Lu Guogong? It can't be done!"

Everyone was chattering, but Li Ji was merciless, and said: "Military discipline is like a mountain, how can it be blasphemed? If you can't deal with this beast with military law today, you will trample it under your feet in the future! You don't need to plead for it, who No matter how loud you are, you will be punished together!"
