Chapter 334: The West Wind (Part 2)

When I walked out of the city, I saw more than a dozen old men talking to Yang Wenguang and his wife.

In fact, since Yang Jiye helped the Later Han Dynasty, Yang Ye's family gradually became distant from the Yang tribe in Fuzhou.

But the Yang family did not deny this relationship, otherwise many children would not continue to associate with Dangxiang people. The Yang family gradually fell, but it was also the pride of the Yang clan. Hearing that Yang Wenguang came to Fuzhou, some elders of the Yang clan came to visit.

Zheng Lang did not disturb them, and walked to the back, where Huang Dehe and the two thousand or hundreds of deserters were behind him.

Under Yang Wenguang's urging, he almost trotted back and forth for more than a hundred miles, all out of breath.

Huang Dehe came down from the horse, came to Zheng Lang, and said carefully: "I have met the comforting envoy."

Very scared.

He was a eunuch in the palace, unlike the ministers outside, and knew that Zheng Lang had a status in Zhao Zhen's heart. He was just young, and the emperor had never transferred the two palaces. But the emperor regarded this big three Yuan as the most important pillar of the future and was paying attention to it all the time.

What do you mean by yourself?

Thinking about Zheng Lang's methods, his voice was trembling.

When Wen Yanbo saw his expression, he knew that his memorial was a little tricky, so he stood by and snorted coldly.

Zheng Langli ignored him, came to the front of the army, stared at the soldiers, and asked, "Are you ashamed?"

Many people immediately lowered their heads.

But the torches were lit, and their faces were red anyway. I can tell if they were blushing.

Zheng Lang said: "When Wen Kuanfu and I came, some people said it was dangerous. Yes, the form in the northwest is unknown, and there is danger. Even if I am here, danger can happen at any time. Maybe the Yuanhao army will go south again. Compared with courage, Wen Kuanfu and I cannot set a bow, shoot arrows, kill enemies, and even ride a horse. But we are here, because we are men and the people of the Song Dynasty, and we still have a conscience in our hearts, a thought of defending our country, and a bloody nature!"

"Well said," Zhang Zonghui said with a high-high.

Zheng Lang had no choice. In history, Huang Dehe slandered Liu Ping, Xia Shouyun and Liu Ping were familiar with each other. They had a little friendship and helped Liu Ping in the hall. But I don’t know if Yuan Hao would continue to attack Yanzhou, but they were all thinking about the affairs of the northwest.

Yanzhou was also very busy, and was afraid that Yuanhao would turn around and attack Zhoucheng, and wanted to do something unclean on his butt, so no one asked whether Huang Dehe had false accusations. Then Huang Dehe led his army back to Yanzhou, and so many soldiers were in his hands and wanted to return them to Fan Yong. Fan Yong heard some news through the scattered deserters, but there was no accurate evidence and he did not want to care. So he accepted the army, but refused Huang Dehe to the city. Huang Dehe came to Fuzhou again.

At this time, Huang Dehe was not arrested. It was not until Liu Ping's two subordinates escaped from Jinming Village and revealed the truth that Zhang Zonghui arrested Huang Dehe. Then Wen Yanbo set up a prison in Hezhong Prefecture and investigated the case with Pang Ji.

There are many things involved, such as Fan Yong's mistakes. Therefore, after Huang Dehe slandered, he hastily ended the case. Without even thinking about it, he reported that Liu Ping and other generals were all killed in battle. In fact, Liu Ping, Shi Yuansun and Li Shibin were not killed in battle, and were all arrested in Xixia.

How many days has it been?

Zheng Lang couldn't afford to delay.

What if no one escaped from Jinmingzhai?

So we can only start with these more than 2,000 soldiers.

He continued, "Escape at the time of battle, and beheaded according to the law. But your superiors forced you to escape are innocent. But if you don't report the information or report the military information in lieu of military affairs, you should beheaded according to the military law. Do you know clearly?"

Huang Dehe suddenly rushed out and said, "The pacifier cannot wrongly accuse the good people."

"Pull it down!" Zheng Lang shouted.

Two soldiers came over and dragged Huang Dehe down.

Zheng Lang looked at everyone again, pointed to a young soldier who looked more honest and lowered his head and said, "Come here."

The soldier walked out, shivering his calves and said, "See the comforting envoy."

"Did you hear it when Commander Yang read the imperial edict?"

"I heard it."

"What crime should I be punished if I resist or lie to me?"

"Die...Die."

"That official told you how did you escape from Mikawaguchi?"

"I don't know."

"Do you want to die?"

"I don't know. When I see someone running away, I will run away too."

"Put down and kill."

"No, I said, the enemy is still killing, but the people behind are running away, and the young one is in the middle army, so they have to run away with them. Later, General Liu's son General Shi Yisun chased after him and advised General Huang not to escape. General Huang still led the crowd to escape to Ganquan. The young one is subordinate, but he has no choice but to do so. The young one is also in the family, and his parents, wife and children. Please spare the younger one."

"What are you talking nonsense?" Huang Dehe said angrily.

"Catch him and put him in prison." Zheng Lang said.

Huang Dehe wrote in the memorial that Liu Ping, Sanchuankou, insisted on surrendering, but he tried hard to persuade him to refuse to listen. Under the pressure, he brought out a part of the army that refused to surrender.

But the soldiers said that there was still a war in front, and Huang Dehe began to escape later. With this, Huang Dehe could also be arrested in prison.

The mastermind was arrested and the gap was opened. Zheng Lang had tried many major cases in recent years, so it was easier to follow.

Then I pointed it out one by one, and shamefully outlined the truth of that evening.

Liu Ping killed the enemy in front, and Huang Dehe stayed in the rear and never participated in the war. Seeing the fierce battle in front, some soldiers could not bear it and took the initiative to ask to join the war. Huang Dehe kept ordering the rear army to remain unmoved. In the evening, most of Yuanhao's troops came across the river, but Liu Ping refused. Huang Dehe thought he was defeated and led the rear army to escape.

The person's confession records were recorded one by one. So far, it is not possible to know the situation of Huang Dehe's battle after he escaped, but it has been concluded that Huang Dehe was a false accusation.

Put them in order and the approximate situation in the northwest to deliver them to the capital.

The next morning, the deserters gathered together, and many of them were all worried about their faces, and they escaped in the last battle, causing the imperial court to be defeated, resulting in the great defeat of Sankawaguchi. Whether in accordance with the national laws or military laws, the people were definitely in full swing today.

Zheng Lang did not do this.

The law did not blame the public, and Zhao Zhen did not have such a vicious heart and killed more than 2,000 soldiers in one go.

He came to the northwest to expand Liu Ping's heroic deeds and seek justice by the way, not to kill people.

But they did not let these soldiers go, saying, "Go to Mikawakou."

Those who escaped from it, and then go where they went, and see where the former comrades died, so that they could reflect.

It was divided into two parts, the first part was Zheng Lang and Yang Wenguang, and the second part was Wen Yanbo who robbed these soldiers and soldiers.

Set out towards Mikawaguchi.

When I arrived at Sanchuankou, I happened to see Fan Yong sending some soldiers to bury the bones.

Many people died, not only soldiers, but also innocent people who had time to escape and were killed by Yuan Hao.

It was early February, and even in Yanzhou, the snow began to melt.

But the weather is still very cold, which reduces the speed of decay of the corpse.

From time to time, soldiers pick up soldiers' bodies from the corners of the ravine.

War is extremely cruel. I don’t think that the dead souls can rest. There is also an important procedure to clean the battlefield, peel off armor from the corpses, and clean up weapons, tents and other supplies. Because Xixia is poor, decent clothes are stripped off soldiers.

You can see the scars on these soldiers.

An old soldier whispered: "The pacifier, now most of the soldiers who have found are soldiers who have fled from the main battlefield. When we came, the wounds on those soldiers were truly tragic."

After saying that, he kept wiping his tears.

"Buried them well," Zheng Lang said in a deep voice.

Then he looked up at the green mountains in the distance. The snow had basically melted, and the green pine trees appeared again, the green and yellow were connected, and the sky was blue, like a beautiful picture.

The more beautiful it is in the distance, the more miserable it is on the Wulongchuan Beach. There is no blood. However, the marks of red marks can be seen on the exposed brown soil. From time to time, you can see broken long swords, torn battle robes, flags, and broken guns and spears.

Zheng Lang stood still, motionless, letting the northwest wind blow.

Luliang Mountain is separated from Taihang Mountain, and the capital is already filled with southeast winds. The cold air in Yanzhou has not yet subsided, but is dominated by northwest winds.

After a long time, Zheng Lang said, "Let's camp."

Let's set up a camp here.

There is an important task that has not been done. Now we can restore the war before Huang Dehe escapes, but we cannot restore the war after Huang Dehe escapes.

At that time, Liu Ping had only a few hundred people, but not all died in battle. Most of them were killed in battle. A few were captured by Yuan Hao after the seven major villages were destroyed. This history is also recorded in history, but it was not quickly known to the court. This was only gradually restored the truth after years, including the news that Liu Ping was not dead.

Therefore, Zheng Lang sent many people out to find out the truth.

In the evening, the two scouts brought back three people.

All of them were local people in Sanchuankou. After Yuan Hao's army arrived, they hid in the mountains, not far from the battlefield, and saw some battle situations. In fact, there were more people nearby, and they didn't have time to escape and hid in the mountains and forests. Unfortunately, Yuan Hao was caught and killed.

But he had already given Zheng Lang help, so he wrote the second memorial, reporting the truth about Mikawaguchi, and deliberately talking about the consequences of Huang Dehe's escape.

If you don’t run away, the entire army will definitely be wiped out, but the consequences are different. Liu Ping’s 1,000 or more people bit Yuan Hao and hurt him. If Huang Dehe did not escape, Liu Ping would still have more than 6,000 soldiers in his hands. Even if Yuan Hao wins, he will throw a thigh and an elbow at Sanchuankou.

Only more than a thousand people fought fiercely with more than 100,000 Xixia troops for three days. After knowing the truth, even Yang Wenguang remained silent for a long time. I wonder how Liu Ping and his men accomplished this miracle.

But Zheng Lang is not over yet.

There are two small tasks, what happened in Yanzhou during this period?

According to Liu Ping's specific information, the bodies of Guo Zun and Wan Qi Zheng were found on the battlefield, but the bodies of Liu Ping and Shi Yuansun were not found. This does not prove that they were captured, and it may be taken away by wild beasts in the mountains and may fall into a certain river.

Zheng Lang knew in his heart that 99% of the time were still captured. Not only did he have to find evidence of their capture, but he also had to find evidence of their failure to surrender after being captured, so that Liu Ping and Shi Yuansun could be fair.

Continue to send scouts. After the end of the Sanchuankou Battle, Yuan Hao brought the army to Yanzhou, then withdrew from Jinming Village, and then retreated from the Tumen to see if any people saw Liu Ping. But the hope was very miserable, with more than 100,000 troops and countless people. Even if someone saw Yuan Hao's army and survived by chance, how could he notice the two prisoners in the army?
