Chapter 3274: Connecting branches with the same spirit
In front of the government office, a brigade of Anxi troops stood in the wind and snow, with swords unsheathed and arrows on strings, and they surrounded the gate with eager eyes.
Cheng Wuting walked out of the main entrance, stood on the stone steps, looked down at the brigade soldiers in front of him, and said, "I wonder if that is General You?"
Among the soldiers in front of the door, one man stood out from the crowd. He was wearing a helmet and armor. He was more than 20 years old and had a handsome face. He clasped his fists and said: "I am the general of the Anxi Army in Youkun. I dare you to ask General Cheng to lead his army to besiege the government office." Breaking in, what do you mean? ”
Just listening to this polite question, Cheng Wuting was half relieved, knowing that the other party would not go against him...
He cupped his fists and returned the salute: "The Duke of Yue knew that there were people in Jiaohe City who were colluding with foreign enemies and betraying the country for glory, so he ordered me to come and block the four gates to prevent the whereabouts of Youtun Guards from being leaked. However, the news was still leaked to the Turks and Arabs. People. Anxi Army Chief Sun Ming and Jiaohe City Guards Hou Mo Chen Sui handed over Baishui Town to the Arab Army who was sneaking in deeply. team, using it as a base to raid Youtun Guard... I led the army to besiege the government office. Changsun Ming fled in fear of crime. Hou Mo and Chen Sui were arrested and confessed to the crimes he committed. Changsun Han is still under interrogation. ...The incident was urgent, and in order to ensure that the information would not leak out, I did not go to General You to report it. I hope Haihan will forgive me for any offence."
When You Kun and the soldiers behind him heard this, they were immediately in an uproar.
Who would have thought that right here in Jiaohe City, the senior officials of the Duhufu and the Anxi Army would actually communicate with foreign countries and leak information about Youtun Guards to the enemy. What's more, they would actually hand over Baishui Town to the Arabs. It means putting Youtun Guards to death...
Everyone knows that Youtunwei had just finished the Battle of Hexi. They were exhausted and went to the Western Regions without even a moment of rest in order to support the Anxi Army. However, it turned out that the senior officials of the Anxi Army betrayed Youtunwei. Didn't these senior officials Have you ever thought about how it would end once the entire Youtun Guard army was wiped out and the Anxi Army, which was still struggling to support the front line of Gongyue City, had no support?
It's worse than a beast!
They were all members of the Anxi Army. When they found out that there was such a traitor among their own people, they naturally felt the same hatred towards the enemy.
You Kun frowned and said in a deep voice: "If this is really the case, all these evil thieves should be killed! However, I can't just rely on General Cheng's words and believe them to be true. The Yamen Office is the center of the Protectorate and the Anxi Army. , now it has been breached by General Cheng. Without sufficient evidence, not only General Cheng will not be able to escape punishment, but I will also be unable to get away with it.”
Cheng Wuting said: "Changsun Ming fled in fear of crime, but Hou Mo, Chen Sui, Changsun Han and others were all captured. General You might as well go in and interrogate them personally."
You Kun pondered for a moment and said happily: "That's very good."
He turned around and told his soldiers: "You are waiting here, don't be rash and impulsive."
The soldiers on the left and right suddenly said anxiously: "General, think twice, if you go in, if something goes wrong..."
The government office is full of Youtun guards. If you really have evil intentions, wouldn't You Kun be put into the tiger's mouth?
But You Kun shook his head and said: "The people under Duke Yue are all upright, how can they do such dirty tricks? Don't worry, I will come as soon as I go."
Ignoring the dissuasion of the soldiers, he and Cheng Wuting walked through the gate and entered the government office.
The two stepped on the heavy snow, and You Kun looked around and said casually: "I was born in Guangping and have been used to severe winters since I was a child. But before I came to the Western Regions, I never thought that the winter in the Western Regions is more than ten times colder than Guangping."
Cheng Wuting was moved in his heart and asked: "Guangping You clan?"
You Kun glanced at Cheng Wuting and said with a smile: "Exactly."
Cheng Wu was stunned.
Although the Guangping You family is in Hebei, they have always been closely connected with Guanzhong. The family has been in the family for generations, and capable people with lofty ideals emerge in endlessly and become prominent.
Of course, the most important thing is the You family, the wife of Li Xiaogong, the prince of Hejian County and the governor of Anxi. She was born in the You family in Guangping, and the Guangping You family is the wife of Li Xiaogong.
Li Xiaogong dared to leave Jiaohe City alone and leave the whole city to Changsun Ming and others. Naturally, it was because the garrison in Jiaohe City was his direct descendants. No matter what the situation, the entire Jiaohe City was firmly under his control. .
Cheng Wuting nodded and said: "Disrespect, disrespect."
You Kun smiled and said: "I don't dare, I don't dare."
Since he is Li Xiaogong's wife and is placed in Jiaohe City, he is naturally his confidant. The relationship between Li Xiaogong and Fang Jun is well known to the world. Not only are they close friends, but they also have many entangled interests. The annual profits generated by Jiangnan Shipyard alone are astronomical figures.
As Li Xiaogong's confidant, what's the need to say about his attitude towards Youtun Wei?
In an instant, all suspicion in Cheng Wuting's heart disappeared...
After entering the main entrance, bursts of miserable screams lingered in my ears. Even if the wind and snow were raging, they could not stop them. You Kun glanced at Cheng Wuting and asked with his eyes. Cheng Wuting smiled and said: "My men are all rough and they can't do fine work. They are very rough."
You Kun chuckled, didn't take it seriously, nodded slightly, and walked into the main hall after Cheng Wu stepped forward.
As soon as he entered the main hall, You Kun was startled.
In the middle of the hall, a rope hung from the beam, binding a naked man with his hands and hanging there, except for his toes. This man was covered in blood and his skin was torn. There was no intact flesh on his body, and he was almost inhuman shape.
The blood was still dripping, and a pool of blood formed under the feet. If it weren't for humming in the throat from time to time, it would be almost unbelievable that people are still alive...
Cheng Wuting's eyelids twitched and he glared at the soldiers around him.
I just want you to be killed, but you really don’t want to kill me? Interrogation is a matter of skill. What's the use of being ruthless?
What a bunch of rubbish!
He pulled a face and asked in a cold voice: "Have you confessed it yet?"
"It's done!"
The soldiers on the side quickly came forward with a confession and said: "I confessed it honestly, and even signed it and pressed my fingerprints."
Cheng Wuting took the confession, read it carefully, handed it to You Kun aside, and sighed: "The crime is so heinous, even if it is to be cut into pieces with a thousand swords, it is not an exaggeration."
You Kun took the confession, looked at it for a few times, and then frowned.
Changsun Han not only gave a clear account of his appointment by his family to lead the Arabs into the Western Region, but also confessed that he had been ordered by Changsun Chong to go to the Turks and ask for the Turkic wolf cavalry to attack the gods at the cost of ten carts of refined iron. Everything about the aircraft camp has been explained...
When this confession was submitted to the court, one can imagine what huge waves it would cause.
After pondering for a while, You Kun pinched his confession and said to Cheng Wuting: "This matter is of great importance. Although it involves the Youtun Guards, in the final analysis it happened within the Anxi Protectorate, and the king of my family has no one to blame. This confession can be After the county king returns to the city, I will leave it to the county king. I wonder what General Cheng will do?”
Generally speaking, this is somewhat unreasonable.
Although it happened inside the Anxi Protectorate, the person Changsun Ming and others intended to murder was Youtunwei and Fang Jun, but they allowed Li Xiaogong to suppress the witness statements. What did Fang Jun think of this?
However, given the relationship between Fang Jun and Li Xiaogong, this matter must be communicated before it is returned to the capital. After all, as You Kun said, this matter is very important to Li Xiaogong, the governor of Anxi. How much does it involve Li Xiaogong? We need to carefully calculate how deeply the respect will be involved, and even what kind of consequences and losses it will cause.
So Cheng Wuting just pondered for a while, then nodded and said: "It's just that I can't make the decision on this matter. I have to report it back to the commander-in-chief and act as ordered."
You Kun said happily: "This is natural. Now that the king of our county is not in Jiaohe City, we naturally respect the Duke of Yue, but we have orders and we dare not disobey him."
These words have shown his attitude: he and Fang Jun are a family, we are of the same spirit, the affairs of Youtunwei are his affairs, no matter what, Jiaohe City is under our control...< br>
Cheng Wuting sighed deeply in his heart, as long as Jiaohe City was as stable as Mount Tai, the entire Western Region would not be in chaos.
In the past, You Kun had let Chang Sunming and others do it and turned a blind eye. It was more because of Li Xiaogong's explanation that he did not dare to act rashly and cause chaos in the entire Western Region. After all, no one could control the Longmen clan without any evidence. Now that there are witnesses and confessions, it is naturally very different. No matter how arrogant the Guanlong nobles are, no one in the government or the public can accept such blatant collusion with foreign enemies.
Once the charges of collaborating with the enemy and treason are spread, the Guanlong clan will be nailed to the pillar of shame and be scorned from generation to generation.
That's why You Kun expressed his position so clearly at this moment.
As for the Battle of Alagou, we can only leave it to fate...*****
