Tiantang Splendid

4468 - Chapter [-]
Seeing Chu Sui's conscientious and unwilling consent, Wang Fangyi said: "The cavalry is galloping, and it is exhausting. It is better for the Duke to stay in the barracks and send a few generals to lead the way. At the end of the day, Linghu Defen will be captured alive. , will come back to report victory!"

Chu Suiliang shook his head quickly: "Although I am old, my muscles and bones are still strong, and it is easy to travel with the army."

What are you kidding, if you don't follow, how can this credit have anything to do with you?
Wang Fangyi laughed: "The Duke is afraid that the last general will take the credit? You are a bit of a villain, and you are a gentleman."

Chu Suiliang insisted: "The servants are vulgar and dull, if they get lost and let the rebels get away, it will be a big disaster, and we can hardly absolve ourselves of the blame."

"Okay, since the Duke insists, let's go on the road together!"

Wang Fangyi didn't say much anymore, and after a few words with the clerk in the tent, he led Chu Suiliang out of the big tent of the Chinese army, and his own soldiers led the horses. Baiqingqi is ready and ready to go.

Wang Fangyi cupped his hands: "Please also ask the prince to lead the way!"

Chu Suiliang nodded, and rode forward. Wang Fangyi drove out of the barracks with five hundred light cavalry like wind and clouds, crossed the unfinished Daming Palace westward, and then went south along Longshouyuan, and passed the Chunming Gate soon. Find the mark left by the family of the Chu family, continue to pass through Leyou Township and Longshou Township, and go straight south along the Chanshui River.

……

After Xianyang Qiaotou was defeated, Yuwenshi and his soldiers were captured, and Guanlong's private army was destroyed. Linghu Defen was frightened and went all the way north from Jingyang and Sanyuan counties to return to his hometown in Huayuan. Not all day long.

When the news of King Jin's defeat and capture reached Huayuan, Linghu Defen felt that he could not wait any longer. The fact that the Guanlong Clan was attached to King Jin to raise troops was undeniable and inescapable. Linghu Defen even followed Yuwenshi As well as going northeast and west, spending money and effort, if His Majesty commits a crime, the entire Linghu family will suffer.

Thinking that Li Chengqian was still generous, and that most of the people who made this remonstrance were lenient, Linghu Defen decided to personally go to Chang'an to plead guilty. Even if he could not escape punishment, he might be able to obtain a lenient treatment for the Linghu family...

So they set off from Huayuan with a group of family servants, crossed the Weishui River and arrived in Chang'an. Unexpectedly, Chang'an City's security level is extremely high, and they failed to enter the city. people withdraw.

He is still one of the "principal culprits" of King Jin's rise of troops, and the court has not yet made a conclusion. If someone tries to trick him into capturing him and presenting him to His Majesty, wouldn't he even have the chance to "surrender himself" up?
It was inevitable that he would be robbed halfway, so he did not return the same way, but went the other way, heading south from Chunming Gate to Chengyili by the Bashui River, where there is a manor of Linghu's family. Not only is food and lodging provided, but there are dozens of guards and soldiers, enough to ensure safety.

After arriving at the manor, Linghu Defen heaved a sigh of relief. He drank a few glasses of wine at dinner, and was a little tired from the long-distance travel as he got older, so he lay down early, but couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

This time the Jin King was defeated, the Guanlongmen Clan who participated in the whole process and contributed a lot could not escape punishment. The entire Guanlongmen Clan is likely to suffer another wave of purges. Local officials in various places will be deprived of all their positions, and the glory of the Guanlongmen Clan will be completely wiped out, and it is unknown when it will sink.

The more he thought about it, the worse he felt, and the more he thought about it, the more terrified he became. While tossing and turning, he suddenly felt a dull sound in his ears. He hurriedly got up and jumped onto the ground barefoot, putting his ears on the ground sideways, and there was a clear vibration.

Linghu Defen's complexion changed drastically, he stood up and grabbed the horizontal knife by the bed in his hand, then ran to the door and kicked open the door, shouting: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

However, before the soldiers in the manor could react, a thunderous sound of horseshoes resounded from far to near in the silent night. Waking up in a start, he ran out to protect Linghu Defen in the middle, took the horse and tried to help Linghu Defen get on the horse, but Linghu Defen was trembling all over, and failed to step on the stirrup twice in a row...

The sound of horseshoes was earth-shattering, and countless light cavalry suddenly appeared in the darkness, and drove straight into the manor. The iron hoofs with big bowl mouths trampled and rampaged, sweeping the entire manor like a roaring tsunami.

The hastily organized family guards were charged and beheaded by the light cavalry before they got on their horses. The defense system of the manor was completely defeated in an instant, and then the light cavalry rushed to kill them. Running away, crying for father and mother.

The elite of the Linghu family had already been completely lost in the two mutinies, and the rest were old, weak, sick and disabled. How could they resist the night attack by the elite Qing cavalry of the Right Tunwei?One charge killed them all, and the rest prostrated themselves on the ground, begging for mercy...

Linghu Defen managed to get on the horse, and looked back, and saw the light cavalry marching across the entire manor like a storm, frightened him out of his wits, and shouted: "Go! Go!"

The bowstring vibrated, and a spiked arrow came suddenly and hit the horse's neck accurately. The horse raised its front hooves with a wail, and then fell to one side, pressing Linghu Defen, who was on the horse's back, under him.

One leg of Linghu Defen was pinned down by the horse, and he screamed and burst into tears in pain, but the generals and servants around him didn't have time to rescue them, so they got off their horses and knelt down on the ground, not daring to move. Dozens of horses had died It roared and surrounded them...

Wang Fangyi came on horseback, looked down at Linghu Defen who was howling under the weight of one leg of the horse, and after verifying that he was upright, he waved his hand: "Drag him out!"

Several soldiers dismounted from their horses, stepped forward to lift off the dead horse, dragged Linghu Defen out, inspected it carefully, and reported: "General, this man's leg bones have been broken, probably several pieces, and his life is not serious. It is an obstacle, but it needs to be treated quickly, otherwise it may become disabled."

Linghu Defen, who was lying on the ground in pain, his face was pale with cold sweat, heard this, and hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up and save me!"

Wang Fangyi didn't take it seriously: "At such an advanced age, it's good to be alive. Why waste medicine? Take two templates or sticks, tie his short legs, and carry him back to Chang'an."

The army of the Tang Dynasty has a "injury practice code", especially this kind of fracture is very common in marching and fighting. Fang Jun took the imperial hospital to study and organize before, and there is already a very appropriate treatment method, but Wang Fangyi thinks That would be too troublesome, as long as Linghu Defen is alive, what's the point even if both legs are broken?
Linghu Defen yelled angrily: "Which army do you belong to, I will definitely order your parents to punish you. Not only will you beat me to the end, but I will also break your dog legs!"

He pampered himself all his life, studied the techniques of health preservation, and cherished his body extremely. How could he tolerate others turning a blind eye to his broken leg?
The most important thing is the pain. If the broken bone cannot be repaired, the pain will be endless. I can't help it...

Wang Fangyi laughed, turned his head and said to Chu Suiliang who was behind him: "Your Majesty, look at this old thief who dares to threaten him when he is about to die. Doesn't he know that when he is sent to Chang'an, he can only die? It doesn't matter if the injured leg is not cured, even if it is cured, what's the point of breaking the neck tomorrow?"

Hearing this, Linghu Defen was so frightened that he ignored the severe pain in his leg. Is this cavalry really coming for me?
Alas, this trip was really reckless. After all, I am still "the Jin King's party and the remnants of the rebels". Once my whereabouts are leaked, I will be tagged, and I want to send myself to Chang'an to present myself in front of His Majesty to ask for credit...

But... There is actually a county prince accompanying him?
He looked behind Wang Fangyi in a panic. Although it was late at night, but the moon was half-curved, and most of these cavalry were holding torches, he clearly saw that very familiar face... His eyes were tearing apart!
"Chu Suiliang, you bastard, you deserve to die! His Royal Highness the King of Jin trusted you so much, and entrusted his back to you when he personally charged into battle, but you bewitched Cui Xin to surrender to the enemy and the King of Jin was defeated. If you die, you will be hacked into pieces, and your children and grandchildren will be cut off!"

Although Xiao Yu, Chu Suiliang, and Cui Xin led the Shandong private army to surrender to the enemy, it did not affect the overall situation. After all, before that, the King of Jin was already at the end of his life and was on the verge of defeat.

Chu Suiliang blushed, but fortunately there were torches around him, and under the light of the fire, he couldn't see his face changing, and said in a hateful voice: "Fart! If I hadn't been threatened and hijacked by you and other self-proclaimed loyal people, how could I have been kidnapped?" Attached to the king of Jin? You put your selfish desires above the empire, you are unfaithful, unrighteous, benevolent and untrustworthy, and everyone in the world will punish you, even if you divide your body by five horses, it is not enough to atone for your sins!"

Wang Fangyi on the side picked his ears, and said impatiently: "Shut up, you go to fight this kind of lawsuit before His Majesty, come here, take everyone in the manor into custody, and enter the city together to hand over to the Ministry of War."

Chu Suiliang was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Why go to the Ministry of War? The old man can take it to the Taiji Palace to knock on the gate!"

This is his credit, what's the matter with sending it to the Ministry of War?
Wang Fangyi didn't care about this, he didn't want to take the credit for himself, but with his official position, it was impossible for him to enter the palace to see His Majesty, if he couldn't see His Majesty, who knows what Chu Suiliang would say?It is almost certain to get rid of yourself and take credit for it, but as long as it is sent to the Ministry of War and recorded in the record, then no one can deprive yourself of this credit.

He glared at Chu Suiliang and said, "Stop making noise! ​​Why do you have to tell me how to do things? If you want to follow into the city, you should follow behind honestly. Your credit will definitely be lost, but if you Don't know how to praise, don't blame me for arresting you as Linghu Defen's accomplice!"

"..."

Chu Suiliang was so angry that his chest was tight and short of breath, his eyes were blurry, and he almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood.

Sure enough, what kind of general led what kind of soldiers, Fang Er's stick acted recklessly and shamelessly, and even the subordinates under his command were a bunch of soldiers, with no credibility at all...
