Rebirth of the best emperor

Chapter 382 The Storm Is Coming

"Can you find out who did it?"

After Li Guang finished speaking, Wang Mang's business suddenly rang in their ears.

Li Guanggong said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, it looks like they are from the Korean army from the clothing, but I searched carefully and found that these people are not all from the Korean army, most of them should be from Qin."

"You mean my people want to kill me?" Wang Mang said.

"That's not what it means, maybe they were bewitched." Li Guang said.

"Then is there anyone left alive?" Wang Mang said.

"No, they're all dead." Li Guang said with a dark face: "These people came prepared, and they came with the will to die. They didn't even think about going back alive. They all had poison in their mouths. When captured, he immediately took poison and committed suicide."

"What do you two think?" Wang Mang asked.

Li Guang and Huo Qubing looked at each other, they were actually a little panicked now, this time there were only a few thousand dead men, who knows how many more dead men will be next time, if they are attacked several times in a row, their morale will probably be low.

Huo Qubing thought for a while, and said first: "Your Majesty, I feel that we should continue marching according to the original plan. The other party's purpose of doing this is nothing more than to hinder our army from continuing to advance. As long as our army does the opposite, it will surely break the barrier." The opponent's layout."

Li Guang glanced at Huo Qubing, and said: "General Huo is right, but the problem now is that the army is already a little tired after traveling day and night. Now that the battle is over, if you continue to travel, I am afraid that the soldiers will not be able to bear it physically. .”

"That's good. I'll lead people to the front. I want to see where the ghosts and monsters dare to play tricks in front of me." Huo Qubing said with a cold face. , Losing dozens of people, it was all his hard work, Huo Qubing was so angry that he wanted to die.

"What do you think?" Wang Mang asked Li Guang.

"I think it's good. The scouts under my command can't be trusted anymore. It's a good way for Huo Qubing to lead the troops to the front." Li Guang thought for a moment and nodded.

"Then let's do this. Be careful on the way there. Anyone who dares to block the march of the army will be killed by me, regardless of enemy or friend." Wang Mang said angrily.

Wang Mang, Li Guanghuo and Qubing didn't talk about how these Han soldiers or others got into the Qin land, and how they grasped the movements of Li Guang and others. It was a coincidence that they blocked the army's marching road and launched this attack. But the three of them knew in their hearts that there must be ghosts in it.

When the country is alive and dead, there are still such troublemakers. Wang Mang has decided to check the officials near Hangu Pass after Hangu Pass is over.

In the large tent, Changsun Wuji looked at Wang Mang with a cold face, and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, what happened?"

Wang Mang snorted coldly, and said: "Just received the news that the vanguard army led by Li Guang was attacked by a group of people wearing Korean military uniforms hundreds of miles away from Hangu Pass. The casualties were not small. Where did these people come from? , don’t know what to do.”

"Is there no one left alive?" Changsun Wuji frowned.

"No, there are thousands of people, all of whom are dead soldiers. As long as they are caught, they will take poison and commit suicide." Wang Mang said with a dark face: "This is a premeditated attack. The other party is very familiar with our actions. Li Guang and others know the movements. There are not many people, but the opponent can attack them at the exact time and place, which shows that the opponent is very unusual."

"What does Your Majesty plan to do?" Changsun Wuji's face was very ugly. No official of the Qin Dynasty would be happy when such a thing happened at this time.

Wang Mang thought for a while, and said: "No matter what the origin of these people is, it is certain that there is Han Jun among them. Han Jun appeared in Qin State at this time. How did they get in? This matter must be thoroughly investigated. I don't care. There is a reason behind this matter, someone must be responsible for it, as for other matters, remember now, there will be opportunities to settle in the future."

Changsun Wuji nodded and said: "Some people are really outrageous, we need to teach them a lesson."

A quarter of an hour later, Wang Yongji and others came in a hurry. They had already received the news from the front. Just as they were about to report, Wang Mang said, "If it's about Li Guang's vanguard army, I don't need to talk about it. I already know about it."

Wang Yongji and the others looked at each other. They had just received the news, but they didn't expect that Wang Mang already knew about it. However, they had seen all kinds of magic of Wang Mang long ago. Wang Yongji and the others were not too surprised. Regarding the attack on Guangfeng’s army, there is also a report saying that Hexi Commander Chen Hongliang was found committing suicide in his official residence an hour ago.”

"Hexi Commander Chen Hongliang?" Wang Mang's eyes flashed, and he walked quickly to the map, and found the topographic map of Hexi, only to find that Hexi borders South Korea, but it is mountainous and difficult to pass, so most people would not think of going through Hexi. The county entered Daqin.

Seeing the map of Hexi, and hearing that Hexi Ling committed suicide, Wang Mang already understood the reason, and asked with a dark face, "Do you know where Chen Hongliang's family has gone?"

"I remember that Chen Hongliang's parents died early. I don't know the origin of his wife. I heard that he picked it up on the road. He has no heirs, so..." Li Hong said aside.

"Chen Hongliang committed suicide, and his wife disappeared." Wang Yongji quickly added: "It was the servant in charge of cleaning in the official residence who discovered his suicide. He didn't see Chen Hongliang's wife at that time, and Hexi's memorial did not explain this. , it seems that there is something strange here."

"It's more than just a strange thing. It's clear that the whole Hexi is making trouble." Wang Mang said coldly: "Decree, all officials in the entire Hexi and the three nearby counties will stop all their duties from today and hand them over to the Metropolitan Procuratorate for review."

Hai Feng respectfully said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will send competent people to take charge of this matter, and I will definitely investigate the death of Hexi Ling."

"I hope so." Wang Mang snorted coldly, and said, "Wang Yongji, writing everywhere, from now on, the Ministry of War will directly take over the military power of all counties and counties within a thousand miles of Hangu Pass. outside the jurisdiction."

Wang Yongji kowtowed and said, "I obey the order."

"Some people are too lawless. They really think that Daqin is about to lose to South Korea, and they are rushing to give South Korea their heads. If that's the case, I don't want to be polite." Wang Mang snorted coldly.

As Wang Mang's voice fell, imperial decrees were distributed from the barracks to various places, and anyone who knew a little bit about the inside story knew that a storm was coming.

White Horse Academy.

Under the cover of night, Zhang Quan and Zhao Hao entered the inner courtyard of the White Horse Academy. Ma Yu smiled and said in a respectful voice: "Ma Yu has seen two senior brothers, and the two senior brothers can come to my White Horse Academy. The academy suddenly flourished, and the students read more energetically than before."

"Junior brother Ma Yu is really good at joking. Senior brother came here and needs help with some things." Zhang Quan laughed.

"Senior brother is too polite. Junior brother prepared a little wine in the room, and asked senior brother to show his face. Let's talk while drinking." Ma Yu said with a smile.

"Please!"
