Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

Page 68



"I, Zhang Yungu, have never begged anyone in my life, but I really begged you today."

"Hurry up and go, don't get involved in this matter anymore!"

"Hurry up and confess to His Majesty, otherwise it will be too late!"

"I Zhang Yungu, it is not a pity to die, but Li Qiu, you are the pillar of the army soul representing the future of my Tang Dynasty!"

"Think about it, it's not easy for you to survive from a merchant to today's Duke and General, but don't lose your wealth and life because of me, a criminal..."

Seeing that Li Qiu was unmoved no matter what he said, Zhang Yungu gritted his teeth, thinking about standing up and bumping his head against the side pillar to death.

One death is all, so as not to implicate Li Qiu.

But unexpectedly, just as he got up, Li Qiu grabbed him and pushed him down on the stool beside him.

"Master Zhang, why are you doing this?"

"Although I don't know why you were convicted, but for Mr. Zhang's integrity and character, I am willing to gamble everything. I believe that Mr. Zhang was wronged."

"Today's sage is a sage king, and all the important officials in the court are also famous and admonishing officials who have been famous through the ages."

"I believe that they will also return your innocence."

In ancient times, there was a saying that a scholar should die for his confidant.

Now that Li Qiu just showed up, and he doesn't know anything yet, he can bet everything, his wealth and life for himself.

How could this kind of friendship not make Zhang Yungu tearful and tearful?

Soon, Li Qiu appeared in Chang'an City East City, and the news of the robbing of the execution ground spread to the Shenwu Army barracks.

Upon hearing this, these soldiers did not believe it at first.

"General Li Qiu?"

"Resurrected?"

"It also appeared in the vegetable market in the east of the city?"

"Why don't you just joke around, okay?"

"Your feelings are understandable, we also want General Li Qiu to come back to life."

"But back then we watched General Li Qiu die in that Turkic formation."

Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, the two soldiers who just came back to report the news were also anxious.

After a while, he ran to the high platform where Fang Tian painted a halberd.

"What I said is true!"

"I swear to the sky, I swear to Fang Tian's painting of a halberd, General Li Qiu has really returned, and he is on the high platform of the execution ground right now."

"Now the beheading officer and the imperial guards are going to execute General Li Qiu on the spot."

"Everyone, think of a way to save General Li. If it's too late, I'm afraid it will be too late!"

Hearing what the two of them said didn't seem like a fake at all, and the soldiers of the Shenwu Army around them also became serious.

"Damn! General Li Qiu has really returned!"

"Fuck the imperial guards, what if you kill General Shenwu?"

"You have to ask all the soldiers of our Shenwu Army whether they agree or not!"

"Brothers, why are you still standing there, get on your horse and go to Dongshi to escort the general!"

"Let's go! Go out and save the general!"

In ancient times, it was a serious crime to leave the camp without a military order.

However, just as they were about to rush out, Zheng Guang, the newly appointed commander of the Shenwu Army, rushed over in a hurry.

"What are you doing?"

"Mutiny, rebellion?!"

"Don't you all get off my horse and go back to the camp?!"

This is Zheng Guang, a native of Kaifeng in Xingyang, the son of Zheng Detong, the governor of Pingzhou.

At the age of 16, he followed Qin Wang Li Shimin, and later followed Li Shimin to participate in the Xuanwu Gate Change.

Although he is in his 20s at this time, he is already a brave general with great military might.

This is also one of the reasons why Li Shimin placed his confidant in the Shenwu Army.

Seeing Zheng Guang's arrival, the soldiers of the Shenwu Army who had mounted their horses and were about to rush out all stopped.

He didn't continue to rush out, but he didn't immediately obey Zheng Guang's military order and dismounted and returned to the camp.

Seeing that this side was delayed again, General Li Qiu on the other side was still in danger.

On the two high platforms, the soldiers who came back to report the news were almost red-eyed, and they gritted their teeth and shouted: "You all don't forget, how did our days in the Shenwu Army go?"

"And how do people look down on it and make other armies laugh at it?!"

"Looking at today again, our Shenwu Army has once again raised its head and puffed up its chest, becoming the most popular army among the people of Chang'an City."

"These, all of this! It's all General Li Qiu! And the [-] brothers who died in the battle are all brought back with their lives!"

"Now, the general did not die at the hands of those Turks, but he will be killed by the dog-like guards."

"I don't agree!"

"I can live to this day, this life is given by General Li Qiu."

"Now I will return this life to General Li Qiu!"

As he said that, he slammed headfirst into the pillar of the high platform, with a bang, blood spattered, and he was killed on the spot.

And before everyone could stop him, another person simply pulled out the Fang Tian painted halberd and committed suicide on the spot.

They are using blood, using their own lives, to wake up everyone, to save Li Qiu's life.

"brother!"

"No!"

Looking at his brother who lived and died with him, his compatriots died tragically. At this moment, the eyes of all the soldiers of the Shenwu Army turned blood red.

"Damn, if there is no general, my life would have died in the hands of the 10,000+ Turkic army."

"Now I will return this life to General Li Qiu!"

"If you want to die, die!"

"I didn't die at the hands of the Turkic people. If you have the guts, you even take us with you and kill us and General Li Qiu!"

"Fuck it, brothers, rush out, and save General Li Qiu no matter what!"

Chapter 103 He Dare

In ancient times, in the heart of every soldier, there was an insurmountable gap.

Disobeying military orders and mutiny in the army will cost a heavy price.

The imperial power and military power of all dynasties would not allow this kind of thing to happen.

Similarly, whenever this kind of thing happens, they will be punished with more severe means, so as to serve as a warning to others, so as to avoid the recurrence of such vicious incidents next time.

As a modern person, I may not be able to imagine very well that in that era, as soldiers, they wanted to disobey the military order and mutiny out of the camp, what kind of courage and effort they would make in their hearts.

And those two people who committed suicide wanted to use their own blood and lives to become the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Only in this way can more people be stimulated to make that extremely difficult decision.

Only then can he rush out in time, rush to the execution ground, and save General Li Qiu!

This approach and examples have been repeated many times in the long river of history.

With loud shouts of fury, many soldiers of the Shenwu Army, with scarlet eyes, got on their horses one after another and filed out.

The general situation is like this, even if Zheng Guang tried his best to stop it, it would be useless.

……

When all this happened, Li Shimin in the palace was in a terrible mood.

At this time, he felt a little regretful in his heart. Was it too reckless to kill Zhang Yungu directly?

However, as the emperor's golden words, the imperial decree has already been issued, and he has no reason to take it back directly.

But at this moment, the commander of the guards in the palace rushed in to report.

"Your Majesty, someone has robbed Zhang Yungu's execution site."

"Now the people are rioting there, and the execution has been postponed."

Hearing his words, Li Shimin couldn't help frowning, furious.

"Who? Dare to be so bold?!"

"He even dared to rob the court?!"

"Could it be that he wants to die?!"

The commander of the guards reported the truth, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the person who robbed the execution ground was the Duke of Yue, Li Qiu, the great general of the martial arts."

Upon hearing his words, Li Shimin subconsciously stood up with a bang.

"What, Li Qiu is back?!"

"He's still alive?!"

The commander of the guards nodded very seriously, "Report, Your Majesty, it is indeed General Li Qiu, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that."

"Today, General Li Qiu suddenly appeared on the prison platform and caused commotion among the surrounding people."

"When the news was delivered at the scene, Chang'an Chengdong City was already in great chaos, and the beheading officer Fu Lin had already ordered Li Qiu to be executed on the spot according to the law."

"It's still unknown what the current situation is over there."

Before Li Shimin's heart was glowing, burning, and ecstatic, he heard the following sentence.

Supervisor Fu Lin ordered Li Qiu to be executed on the spot? !

At this moment, all the anger in Li Shimin's body exploded.

The hatred in his eyes made him want to eat this stupid Fu Lin alive.

Immediately afterwards, Li Shimin overturned the dragon case in front of him, and shouted sharply: "What are you still doing?!"

"Hurry up and protect Li Qiu!"

"At all costs, I must protect Li Qiu!"

"Go!"

Hearing Li Shimin's roar, the commander of the guards was only in a daze for half a second, and then ran out crazily at his command.

Take people straight to the law ground in Chang'an City East City.

After he left, Li Shimin immediately led his men, got on the horse by himself, and rushed over there at the same speed.

At the same time, in the entire city of Chang'an, too many people were shocked by this news, and they also rushed towards this side in a hurry.

In Duke Ying's mansion, the samurai Xun was talking with his precious daughter, telling her not to be too sad.

Immediately heard the steward's report.

"What? Li Qiu is still alive?"

"Li Qiu is back?"

"Rescue Zhang Yungu in the law field?"

Immediately, emotions such as astonishment, shock, joy, panic, worry, etc. passed through the hearts of the father and daughter of Samurai Yun in an instant.

The next moment, the samurai Xun also reacted, and hurriedly beckoned people to rush to the execution ground in the east of the city.

Originally, Wu Jue also planned to take a look, but was rejected by the warrior Xun.

Outside the city, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others were inspecting water transportation and collecting food for the victims of the disaster.

Immediately they heard the news.
