First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 92
90. Great Earthquake Pass

On the banks of the Yongning River, in the Tang army camp, Liu Wenjing was full of ambition.

"How?" Liu Wenjing raised her brows, very happy, "You all still think I, Liu Zhaoren, are arrogant?"

Gongsun Wuda is a brave man, and today's battle was very majestic, so he patted his chest and said straightly: "It's refreshing, it's really refreshing to fight with Liu Sima, that Chang Zhongxing is known as the general of the Western Qin Dynasty, but he was chased this time." Killed like a stray dog."

Liu Shirang and others nodded in agreement when they heard the words, and had to admit that Liu Wenjing was indeed capable.

The layout started when Liu Shirang Guangbu scouts and Dou Gui suggested a detour and stealth, causing Chang Zhongxing to think that the Tang army would not dare to fight, so he kept chasing after him, and finally fell into Liu Wenjing's trap.

Dou Gui's resolute face also softened a lot, he saluted and said: "I offended you earlier, it was indeed Dou Gui's short-sightedness, dare to ask Liu Sima, can you take the two counties of Hechi and Hanyang now?"

Hearing the first half of the sentence, Liu Wenjing smiled, and when Dou Gui spoke the second half, the smile on his face froze immediately, he turned his head aside, and proudly said: "These two counties are already in the bag, reach out You can take it, and taking it is tasteless, only by attacking the city and conquering the territory can you show your ability."

Liu Wenjing played with the command arrow in his hand, and said with some amusement: "Everyone thinks that I, Liu Wenjing, is greedy for the merits of the Hechi Second County, but they don't know that the Hechi Second County will be passed on soon, and it is a great contribution..." Liu Wenjing sneered, Very disdainful, "My picture is just an opportunity."

Liu Shirang and the others were stunned when they heard the words, "Opportunity?"

Dou Gui understood a little bit, and asked with a frown, "A chance to lead an army alone?"

Liu Wenjing was noncommittal, raised her head and said unabashedly: "Gao Junya can do amazing feats, and I am even better than him."

Everyone listened in silence, the dispute between Biejia and Sima in the Prime Minister's Mansion is now on the surface, but Liu Sima is really too arrogant and extreme, he is not as popular as Gao Biejia, who is gentle and refined.

Dou Gui sighed secretly, got up and left, everyone retreated one by one, Liu Wenjing sat firmly on his seat, ignored them all, showing arrogance.

Outside the tent, seeing the busy soldiers taking in the prisoners, Dou Gui's mood improved, at least he had a great victory.

After some counting, more than [-] Western Qin soldiers were captured. Dou Gui and others were overjoyed.

"Scholar, how do you place the prisoners?" Jiang Mo Nianxu asked.

Dou Gui thought about it for a while, and then said: "Zheng Rentai can escort the prisoners back to Beijing."

After the words fell, Zheng Rentai was about to respond, but he heard a very unfriendly voice, "Wait a minute, Dou Zhiyi is good at making decisions, did you ask me?"

Hearing the words, Dou Gui took a deep breath and suppressed his anger, "What does Sima Liu think?"

"Killed," Liu Wenjing said calmly without changing his face.

"what?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words.

"If I want to make great achievements, I must have fewer soldiers and generals. Zheng Rentai needs to stay in the army, and I don't have any extra food to support these 3000 people." Liu Wenjing looked calm, as if the lives of those 3000 people were like nothing.

"I just sent back to Chang'an because of the lack of food and grass," Dou Gui said loudly, "If the prisoners are killed, who will dare to surrender when the Tang king's troops go out of the Kanto?"

"Liu Sima, killing captives is ominous," Jiang Mo persuaded earnestly, "Since ancient times, can those who kill captives have a good end? After all, it is three thousand lives."

Seeing this, Liu Wenjing was furious, "I am the chief general, how dare you disobey orders?"

However, this time it was the iron plate. Before Liu Wenjing was greedy for meritorious deeds, although Dou Gui tried his best to oppose it, Liu Wenjing did not cause any actual loss at that time, but Dou Gui was only worried that there would be accidents.

Now if Liu Wenjing is allowed to kill the prisoners and set this precedent, then the reputation of the Tang army will really be ruined, and the enemy will definitely resist desperately when they attack the city in the future.

"If you want to kill a prisoner, kill me first," Dou Gui said very forcefully, stiffening his neck.

It is impossible for Liu Wenjing to think of those things, but Liu Wenjing doesn't care. As long as he can make meritorious deeds and prove that he is better than Gao Junya, and even better than Pei Ji, he wants to prove that Liu Wenjing is the No. 1 under the Tang King. As for killing prisoners Unknown things like that are out of Liu Wenjing's consideration.

"How courageous", Liu Wenjing laughed back angrily, "Do you really think I dare not kill you? Come on, drag me down...".

"No."

"Liu Sima think twice".

Everyone was busy prostrating and begging for mercy.

"Liu Sima, if you deal with Dou Shize, how will you explain to the King of Tang?" Jiang Mo was also in a hurry. If Liu Wenjing really went crazy and beheaded the king's brother-in-law, it would be a big trouble, and he, Jiang Mo, would also like to implicated by it.

Liu Wenjing stared at Dou Gui for a long time with a gloomy face, then nodded and said: "I think you are a relative of Tang Wang, and I will save your life."

"Liu Wenjing, you can't kill me today, and you can't kill me." Dou Gui is upright and strict, so how can he be afraid of Liu Wenjing, "When I return to the court in the future, I will impeach you to the king of Tang."

Liu Wenjing is so arrogant, and how can he be cowardly, the two tough people are on the same line, "Wait for me to defeat Xue Ju, let's see whether the king of Tang rewards or punishes."

Dou Gui turned and left without looking back, Jiang Mo and others looked helpless.

"The whole army is ready", Liu Wenjing ignored Dou Gui, and immediately ordered: "Leave at noon and go straight to the long road."

Jiang Mo was a little puzzled, "Don't take Tianshui?"

"Execute the military order," Liu Wenjing reprimanded mercilessly.

Jiang Mo was so angry that he turned his head and left.

Such a Liu Wenjing, whoever catches whoever spits, it will not be easy for anyone to save face. He, Jiang Mo, is a dignified prime minister's mansion, Cao Canjun, a noble and county magistrate, and he is nearly [-] years old. He is very respectful, but Liu Wenjing scolds him frequently.

With Dou Gui on his back, Liu Wenjing did not kill the prisoners in the end, and led the army straight to the long road.

Changdao is Jiang Mo's fiefdom, which belongs to Tianshui County, but it is located on the border of Tianshui, Hanyang, and Longxi counties. Now that Liu Wenjing leads the army straight to Changdao, it must not be plotting against Tianshui County.

Great Earthquake Pass, located on the eastern slope of Longdong and west of Qianyuan City, was established in the early Han Dynasty. It was originally named Longguan. When Emperor Wu of the Later Han Dynasty was touring Kongtong Mountain, he passed by here. The horses were shocked by thunder, so later generations called it Great Earthquake. close.

At this time, in the continuous Longshan Mountains, there is a rather "worry" army hiding. The reason for the panic is that this group of people are nestled in the mountain col, gnawing hard jerky and drinking cold wine. Mountain spring water.

"Thanks to you, you begged the second son for this jerky." Liu Hongji chewed hard on the hard jerky, and said vaguely, "If this is a mustache, I'm afraid I won't starve to death." .

Gao Chong kneaded the jerky vigorously before stuffing it into his mouth until it became soft. He also shook his head and laughed and said, "Didn't you see that when I went to ask for this batch of jerky, the second son's painful expression."

Liu Hongji chuckled, "That's true. Although this jerky is a bit tough to chew, it's still more nourishing and filling than the cold corn rice balls. It's really a good thing. You can ask for so much. It can be seen that the second son Much love to you."
