Chapter 361 There is something wrong in my heart
There was a slight condensation in the handsome tent.
Everyone knew that the Shenji Battalion came to ask for help, but the commander-in-chief refused to send troops. However, the account was filled with Hou Junji's confidants, so naturally no one would question Hou Junji's intention. Changsun Chong, the only one who is not Hou Junji's own, has the same aspirations as Hou Junji...
Hou Junji took the battle report with one hand and glanced at Changsun Chong.
Although he is still calm, his slightly stagnant expression reveals his inner tension...
Hou Junji frowned even more. Could it be that Changsun Chong really had something to do with the Turks?
I opened the battle report and scanned ten lines at a glance, and I immediately took a breath of air!
Less than a hundred people died in the battle?
Hundreds of Turkic cavalry were killed, and hundreds of prisoners were killed?
Why don’t you capture Yugu She’s younger brother Ashina alive?
How is this possible!
Just 2,000 infantrymen from the Shenji Battalion and more than 10,000 farmers?
Are you kidding me!
Hou Junji's first reaction was that Fang Jun lied about military information and exaggerated his military exploits!
But since the battle achievements can be exaggerated, it proves that the Shenji Battalion was not completely wiped out. Could it be that the cavalry were really just horse bandits who wanted to take advantage of the situation?
But there is also Ashina Budai as a prisoner, so how to explain it?
Hou Junji was a little confused.
He was inclined to believe that it was a Turkic cavalry, and Fang Jun's battle report did say so, but was it possible for two thousand infantry to achieve such a result against a thousand Turkic cavalry?
But if it was a horse bandit, what would be Changsun Chong's reaction?
Is it possible that this kid is not colluding with the Turks, but a group of horse bandits, and wants to use the horse bandits to annihilate the Shenji Camp?
Changsun Chong shouldn't be that stupid.
The front leg lied that it was Hou Junji who transferred him from the Shenji Camp. In fact, it was Chang Sun Chong who asked for his transfer. Immediately afterwards, the Shenji Camp was attacked. If he said that Chang Sun Chong was not colluding, no fool would believe it. Only by completely annihilating Shenji Camp and Fang Jun will Changsun Chong's suspicion be cleared. But will this guy be stupid enough to use a group of ragtag horse bandits to annihilate Shenji Camp?
Although they are both cavalry, the combat effectiveness of horse bandits and Turkic cavalry is not the same.
According to Changsun Chong's character, he shouldn't be so reckless.
After thinking about it, Hou Junji couldn't figure out what was going on.
The only thing that was certain was that Fang Jun was safe, and he must have hated himself for refusing to send troops to rescue him.
Hou Junji has a headache...
After thinking for a while, he asked: "Battle report of Shenji Camp, a thousand Turkic cavalry raided the camp, were defeated, killed most of them, and captured the enemy general Ashina Budai alive. What do you think of this?"
Several secretaries in the account were stunned and said in unison: "How is it possible?"
They are all veterans who have been with the army all year round and know something about military matters. A thousand Turkic cavalry attacking a camp is enough to collapse an army of tens of thousands. If the timing is good, it is not impossible to disperse an army of tens of thousands. How can it be possible for the Shenji Battalion to have only two thousand infantry?
It doesn't get any more ridiculous than this!
The second-in-command was probably so suppressed by our commander that he went crazy thinking about meritorious service, so he took this trick and pretended to lead the military meritorious service?
Hou Junji glanced at Changsun Chong, who was obviously very surprised: "Changsun Prince Consort, what do you think?"
Changsun Chong's heart almost jumped out of his chest!
I was willing to take the risk and risk everything, but I still couldn't kill the second roommate?
What a hell!
Yu Gushe, that bastard, actually promised in the letter that he would send his own soldiers to "attach him", and also said that he would kill all the Tang troops in the Shenji camp, leaving no one behind!
Is this what you do?
I was killed by you!
Taking a deep breath, Changsun Chong softened his stiff expression and said with a forced smile: "The Marquis of Xinxiang has great skills in commanding troops. He is truly an unparalleled genius!"
"Haha," Hou Junji sneered: "But I have a lot of doubts about this battle report. Why don't we let the eldest son's consort go to the Shenji Camp to investigate the authenticity of this matter. If Fang Jun pretends to be a military meritorious and falsely reports The eldest son-in-law can handle the battle report by himself according to military regulations, but if the battle report is true! In fact, I have underestimated the heroes of the world, but I immediately ordered the Shenji Battalion to come all the way. Maybe it can also play a role in the battle to capture Gaochang City. There is no reason to leave a strong army that can defeat the Turkic cavalry head-on. , I wonder what the eldest grandson’s consort thinks?”
Changsun Chong was so angry that he almost cursed.
After all, you are also the commander-in-chief of an army and a dignified prince. How can you be so shameless?
Are you trying to put the responsibility for suppressing Fang Jun on me?
As for the false report of the battle and the pretending to claim military merit, it is even more nonsense. Didn't you hear that the battle report said that the younger brother of the Turkic Khan Yugushe was captured? No matter how stupid or stupid Fang Jun is, he would not dare to speak nonsense at such a moment!
What a shit to deal with!
But no matter how depressed I feel, I have to accept the order. I have to bear the blame. Otherwise, as long as Hou Junji releases the news that he is transferring to the Chinese army's headquarters this time, it is not Hou Junji's original intention at all. If your eldest grandson requested it himself, that would be a big problem!
The front leg took the initiative to move away, and the back leg Shenji Camp was attacked. Do you know that the Turkic cavalry will attack the camp soon?
"No!"
Changsun Chong reluctantly accepted the order.
Hou Junji chuckled, and his mood suddenly improved. It was an unexpected joy to be able to hold Chang Sun Chong's pigtail in his hand. Although the idea of suppressing Fang Jun has not been realized for the time being, it is still a loss and a gain...
*************
Early the next morning, Fang Jun saw Changsun Chong, who had transformed into an "imperial ambassador".
Changsun Chong looked at the messy military camp and could almost imagine what kind of brutal fighting happened here last night, and he felt a little guilty...
Hou Junji's military order was read out in public, and the entire Shenji camp was strictly ordered to cooperate with Chang Sun Chong in investigating the Turkic cavalry attack on the camp, and to count the number of injured, soldiers who died in battle, prisoners who were killed, and the man who was said to be Ashina Budai. Turkic general.
Fang Jun happily accepted the order and said with a smile: "I have to say that Changsun Prince Consort is really lucky. You walked on the front foot and met the Turkic cavalry on the back foot to attack the camp at night. This is really a life of peace for a wealthy and noble person, unlike us. , what a misfortune!”
Changsun Chong looked remorseful and sighed, "Who could have expected that there would be Turkic cavalry attacking the camp? If he had known this earlier, how could he have been dispatched by the commander to the Chinese army's tent? He would have to live with his brothers. Let’s die together and fight against powerful enemies together!”
"Haha, the eldest grandson's consort really puts loyalty first!" Fang Junpi said with a smile: "In the future, there will be many opportunities to have a long talk with the eldest grandson's consort, but the commander's military orders are more important. Let's count the number of people first!"< br>
In his mind, Changsun Chong was already listed as the first suspect!
It's just that he has no evidence now, and he can't figure out Changsun Chong's motive, so he is conceding for the time being. If I find out that the Turkic cavalry attack on the camp is really related to him, it doesn’t matter if you are the son of Changsun Wuji, or if you are the son-in-law of His Majesty Li Er, I will skin you!
Brothers like me, our deaths must not be in vain!
Fang Jun took Chang Sun Chong to a soothing sand dune not far from the military camp. Chang Sun Chong was a little puzzled. Fang Jun said: "Aren't we counting the number of prisoners? All the prisoners, whether dead or alive, were trapped here. If they are not dug out, How to count? ”
Changsun Chong's face turned a little pale.
Fang Jun waved his hand and directed the farmers who were transferred: "dig!"
"No!"
Hundreds of people agreed in unison. Now Fang Jun's prestige has not only reached its peak in the Shenji camp, but these people are also shocked to be a god. He can call the wind, rain, and thunder. Who dares to disapprove?
There is yellow sand everywhere and it is very easy to dig.
A burst of sand and dust flew up, revealing the Turkic prisoners killed yesterday night.
After just one glance, Changsun Chong's legs trembled, his face turned pale, and he almost turned around and ran away in fright.
Fang Jun stretched out his hand, hugged Chang Sun Chong's arm tightly, and said with a smile: "The reason why it is called 'killing' is because many Turkic prisoners were not dead at that time. It can also be called 'buried alive'! Now, Look at that. He must have been buried in yellow sand and suffocated to death. It must have been very uncomfortable when he was dying. He took a big breath, but everything in his mouth and nose was filled with sand. If his throat and trachea were cut now, It must be all sand..."
"vomit"
Changsun Chong couldn't bear it anymore and squatted on the ground and retched.
This method of "burying alive" is an extremely horrific death, with corpses stacked one on top of another. The shock is definitely a huge shock to Changsun Chong, a son of a wealthy and wealthy family!
Fang Jun chuckled: "A miserable death? But this is the price for killing my Fang Jun soldiers! In fact, speaking of it, these Turks are really pitiful. They are the most elite fighters of the Turks. They should be galloping in the vast territory. The grasslands and deserts are the best, but for ten carts of fine iron, they were sold by their Khan, and they had to die miserably.”
Ten carts of fine iron?
Changsun Chong was heartbroken...
Fang Jun stopped torturing Changsun Chong. There was no sense of achievement in torturing this kind of young master who seemed gentle but was actually a complete weakling.
"Let's go, there are still brothers from the Shenji Battalion who died in the battle but haven't been counted... You said that the commander-in-chief is too heartless. Am I, Fang Jun, the kind of person who lies about military merit?" Fang Jun seemed dissatisfied.
As soon as Changsun Chong heard "counting the number of people", his scalp went numb and he said in a trembling voice: "Erlang, in my opinion, there is no need to count people, right? Just report them according to the numbers in your battle report. Who can't believe the character of your second roommate?" …”
He really didn't want to go through the horror of digging a body out of the sand again...
Fang Jun didn't appreciate it and deliberately opposed him. He said displeasedly: "What did the eldest son-in-law say? Every brother who died in the battle has a name and a surname. They are registered in a book for inquiry. It's not just what someone said. Just a few!”
After saying this, Changsun Chong could not refuse, so he took him back to the military camp.
Contrary to Changsun Chong's expectation, he did not dig sand this time, but came to a large military tent. Changsun Chong was a little puzzled. Wasn't he going to count the number of soldiers killed in battle?
Are the soldiers who died in the battle still not buried?
Looking at this military tent, Changsun Chong's face turned green. Shouldn't they all be placed here...
He was trembling with fear, but Fang Jun still opened the curtain at the entrance of the military tent and walked in with heavy steps.
Changsun Chong had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow in. His heart was tightening, and he imagined in his mind what kind of terrifying scenes he would see later...
Surprisingly, the military tent was very clean and tidy, with rows of wine jars neatly placed on the ground.
After looking around and finding nothing else, Changsun Chong looked at Fang Jun with some confusion.
Fang Jun stood solemnly and said in a deep voice: "A total of eighty-five people died on the spot or were seriously injured, and they are all here!"
Changsun Chong was stunned and looked at the wine jars on the floor. Only then did he realize that the sealing area of each wine jar was tightly sealed with cloth, with a personal name written on it.
Are they all cremated and then collecting the ashes one by one?
Fang Jun's sad and low voice came to his ears: "The people who died in the battle last night are all here! I brought them from Guanzhong to this desert, so naturally I have to take them back, even if they die! I can't let them They became lonely ghosts, wandering alone in this foreign land, unable to even find their way home! They died! They were wronged and died not on the battlefield of charging the enemy, but under conspiracy. They all died with their eyes open! Brothers, if you have souls in heaven, please open your eyes and watch carefully. The mastermind behind the scenes must be found, skinned, cramped, and cut into pieces.”
Changsun Chong's face was pale and cold sweat was pouring down his face.
The breeze blew in from the door and blew over his soaked back, as if something had touched him... An extreme fear surged into his heart. Changsun Chong felt that there seemed to be something moving inside the military tent. are flying around him, a pair of eyes that are staring at death, and a scream after another, asking for the life of the person who killed them...
"Ah——"
Changsun Chong screamed in collapse, turned around and ran away. Unexpectedly, his legs gave out and he fell to the ground like a dog eating shit...
Sorry, I got home too late today, so I can only update so much, sorry!
