Tie Kui Extra Story (Thirty-Three)
Zhong Shantong has been with Tie Kui for five years and is quite familiar with him. Seeing his expression, Zhong Shan was startled, and asked, "My lord, do you know who did it?"
Tie Kui didn't hide it from Zhong Shantong, and said, "In all likelihood, it's the one who killed the Song family."
Zhong Shan said with a puzzled face: "But it is rumored that it was Marshal Yan's youngest son, Yan Sanshao, who assassinated the Song family. Even Guo and this Yan Sanshao can have such a deep hatred."
"His target should be Marshal Tong." If Yan Wushuang controlled the 200,000 troops in Tongcheng, the imperial court would be afraid.
It would be impossible for someone else to seize the military power of Tongcheng's 200,000 troops. But if it's Yan Wushuang, it's another matter. Even though Marshal Yan died seventeen years ago, many generals in the army were single-handedly promoted by him. Many people here are still loyal to him.
It is also relying on these people to fight the war. The Song family wanted to clean them out, but Tong Chunlin stopped them in the end.
Zhong Shantong's face changed with bluff, and he said in a deep voice: "If something happens to Marshal Tong and the border city becomes chaotic, the Donghu people will take the opportunity to send troops to attack us. At that time, it will be the soldiers and the people of Tongcheng who will suffer."
This Tie Kui is not worried: "Yan Wushuang is also a descendant of the Yan family, so he wouldn't watch such a thing happen." If not, how would he get the generals in the border town to surrender.
Zhong Shantong thought about it and thought so.
Tie Kui said: "It's not good for you to hear about these things, don't deliberately inquire about them." The matter is not yet clear, and he doesn't want to fall into the eyes of others at this time. Once involved, it's easy to be cannon fodder like her.
Zhong Shantong nodded.
Not long after, Tie Kui heard that the imperial court sent troops to encircle and suppress Yunqing, and the Northern Captives sent troops to attack Yucheng.
Tie Kui didn't even have any expectations, he felt that Yun Qing and Yu Xi would definitely die this time. But he didn't expect that in the spring of the next year, he heard that Yunqing not only broke the imperial court's encirclement and suppression, but also repelled the northern captives.
Zhong Shantong couldn't help admiring: "Kuizi, this Yunqing is really amazing."
"There is also an element of luck in it." Because the distance is too far, the specific situation is unknown, but it is enough to know that the husband and wife are safe now.
Zhong Shantong disagreed with this statement: "Of course there is luck, but there is also enough strength. It is a pity that we in Tongcheng do not have such generals who use soldiers like gods." Otherwise, the battle would not have been so difficult.
Yunqing will fight,
Tie Kui does not deny this. It's just that he acted a little hastily, and it's uncertain whether he can hold the northwest.
In mid-September, for unknown reasons, Tong Chunlin led the army as the commander-in-chief. He was seriously injured when he came back, and died of his serious injuries within a few days after returning. The one who succeeded him was the deputy general, Old General Lin. This old general was single-handedly promoted by Marshal Yan back then, and he is also a diehard loyalist of the Yan family. Soon, Qiu Dashan was promoted to lieutenant general. And these have not passed through the court.
Although Yan Wushuang didn't show up, Tie Kui already felt that Tongcheng had changed.
Zhong Shantong came back from the outside, lowered his voice and said to Tie Kui: "My lord, there are rumors outside that Marshal Tong's injury was not fatal, he was killed by the third young master of the Yan family."
Tie Kui said: "It doesn't matter how Marshal Tong died. The important thing is that Tongcheng will not be in danger for now." And a small group of people is nothing to be afraid of.
After a while, Qiu Dashan sent his confidant Gong to call him over. Also that night, Tie Kui met the rumored Yan San Shao Yan Wushuang.
As soon as he entered the door, Tie Kui felt that someone was staring at him. Looking up, he saw a gloomy person looking at him. Involuntarily, the hairs all over Tie Kui's body stood on end.
Tie Kui was terrified. In his impression, Yan Wushuang should be an upright person like Marshal Yan. But this person in front of him is very dangerous, like a poisonous snake in the dark, anyone who is not prepared will be bitten to death by him.
Qiu Dashan smiled and said, "Kuizi, this is the third young master I mentioned to you."
Tie Kui lowered his head and called out respectfully: "Third Young Master is well."
This official word is too good. Just listening to his accent, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is from the capital.
Yan Wushuang looked Tie Kui from top to bottom, and then asked in Anshan dialect expressionlessly: "Are you from Anshan? Your family used to be from the mountains?" son of the people.
Tie Kui looked surprised, and then replied in Anshan dialect: "I didn't expect Third Young Master to speak our Anshan dialect."
Hearing the pure Anshan dialect, Yan Wushuang's brows relaxed a little: "I stayed in Anshan for a while, and I didn't speak it very well." He has stayed in many places in Liaodong.
"I can hear it."
Yan Wushuang asked: "I'm going to send troops to kill Hunjun, are you willing to follow me?"
Asking him in this situation did not give him a choice at all. Either agree to follow along with the rebellion, or die here today.
Tie Kui said without the slightest hesitation: "As long as San Shao doesn't dislike him, I'd like to do my best."
"Then go back and prepare, and send troops in two days." This is the best time to send troops. Because it is almost winter, Donghu people will not call.
Tie Kui nodded and said, "Okay."
When Tie Kui walked out, Yan Wushuang looked at Qiu Dashan and asked, "Are you sure there is no problem with this person's background? Don't be a spy that the Song family placed in the army."
Qiu Dashan shook his head and said: "No problem. Third young master, I sent someone to investigate. His father is indeed a mountain dweller who makes a living by hunting, and he has two older sisters. Before he was ten years old, the family of five lived on the mountain. He moved down the mountain after he was ten years old. Because of his intelligence, his father sent him to school after he left the mountain. Later, his father broke his leg, and he started hunting alone in the mountains to support his family. He didn’t want to stick to the few acres of Susukida at home and wanted to make a name for himself. , and enlisted in the army."
"What do they live on down the mountain?" If it weren't for the lack of fields and land, how could the family live in the mountains.
Qiu Dashan said: "His father is a good hunter. He built a house in the village with his savings over the years, then sold a leopard skin and bought a field."
"He is the only son, why would his parents be willing to let him serve as a soldier?" In the eyes of ordinary people, being a soldier means sending him to death.
Qiu Dashan smiled and said: "I can't help my son, he is determined to join the army, and it's useless if his parents object. His father took precautions and asked his second sister to recruit a son-in-law. Now his second sister has given birth to three boys."
Chunni wanted a daughter all her heart, but the third child turned out to be a boy again.
Yan Wushuang asked: "So, their parents are loving and their family is harmonious?"
Qiu Dashan shook his head and said: "His mother was divorced by his father because he always moved all the family's things to his mother's house. But he is very filial, and has a very good relationship with his father and two sisters. All the military salaries these years have been saved. Send it home."
Although he believed that Qiu Dashan would not lie to him, Yan Wushuang still sent someone to find out about Tie Kui. He didn't feel relieved until the news that came back was no different from what Qiu Dashan said.
After fighting outside Linlu Pass, the army was stopped by this natural danger. As a last resort, the army was stationed under Linlu Pass
There was no big war, but small battles continued. On this day, Tie Kui and Qiu Dashan reported the casualty rate of this battle.
After the report was over, seeing Qiu Dashan's complexion was not good, he asked a question casually. As a result, he received a piece of news that shocked him, that Yuxi was in charge of the Northwest.
Suppressing the waves in his heart, Tie Kui deliberately said: "What is Yunqing thinking? How could a woman be in charge? He is not afraid that the Han family will make a mess in the northwest and give the court an opportunity to take advantage of it."
"Don't underestimate this girl. Back then, the lord wanted Yunqing to join forces with him for revenge, but this girl refused. She thought she was timid, but she turned around and encouraged Yunqing to rebel." Now the entire Northwest, but Their husband and wife have the final say.
Tie Kui was stunned for a while, and then said, "Conspiracy is going to cost you your head, doesn't she know that?"
"It's impossible not to know, but once this person has ambition, life and death will be ignored." Anyway, in Qiu Dashan's eyes, Yuxi is an ambitious man.
Of course, not only Qiu Dashan thinks this way, many people think so.
Tie Kui didn't think so. Yuxi is not alone, she has children. As a mother, even if she doesn't care about her husband, it is impossible not to think about her children. She would instigate Yun Qing to rebel, she must be in a dangerous situation and had no choice but to take this step.
Before, Tie Kui thought that Yunqing's rebellion was a reckless and thoughtless act; now that he knew that Yuxi planned the rebellion, he thought she was forced to do nothing. I have to say that when the positions are different, the ideas are also different.
Back in his tent, Zhong Shantong felt that Tie Kui's condition was not right: "Kuizi, what's wrong?"
Tie Kui shook his head and said, "I'm tired, I'll take a rest. If it's not urgent, don't call me."
Zhong Shantong looked at him with a tired face, nodded and said, "Then you have a good rest."
Leaning against the head of the bed, Tie Kui couldn't help but think of the past. Han Jingyan didn't like the Ning family, and he left Ning's family not long after the wedding. And the old lady of the Han family also hated Ning Shi, even if she was pregnant, she was very cold. Ning died of dystocia and left behind such a child, and she knew that life must have been extremely difficult. Being able to grow into an adult is also the blessing of the second sister's spirit in heaven. I never thought that this kid would dare to rebel. The key is to make her plan succeed.
A few days later, Tie Kui received a letter from his family saying that Tie Hu was ill.
Tie Hu hurriedly went to Qiu Dashan: "General, my father is ill, I want to go home and visit him."
The two armies were at a stalemate, but there were no major battles. The most important thing is that they are not far from Anshan, and it takes less than two days to ride a horse. Therefore, Qiu Dashan readily gave ten days off.
Yan Wushuang knew about it that day, and said, "Is his father really sick?"
This makes it sound like the father is pretending to be sick. Qiu Dashan said: "There is a letter from my family about this matter, it should not be wrong."
Yan Wushuang smiled and said: "He is a dutiful son." This Tie Kui is not only thoughtful, but also very ambitious.
"Well, very filial. His father broke his leg more than ten years ago, and the doctors in the county at the time said there was no cure. He didn't believe it, so he took his father to Shengjing the next day. Because it was delivered in time, His father's leg was saved."
Yan Wushuang asked suspiciously: "More than ten years ago, when he was only about ten years old, he dared to take his father to Shengjing for medical treatment? Besides, it would cost a lot to treat a leg. How much money does their family have? "
Qiu Dashan shook his head and said: "That year he was twelve years old. He studied in school for two years, could read and write, and could speak some official language. In order to heal his father's legs, he not only sold tiger skin and tiger ointment and other good things from the bottom of the box, but also saved money. They're all used up."
Yan Wushuang didn't speak anymore.
