Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

On Qingni Ridge, there were dark clouds and light rain. "Fuck!" Suddenly there was an angry curse, and when people looked back, they saw a general fell on his back, covered in mud all over his back. Seeing this, the soldiers of the Shu army who were staring at the difficult downhill road burst into laughter.

"It's better if the rain is heavier, but the light rain makes people upset." A general in a splendid red cloak frowned. He was right, the surface of the hillside was soaked and trampled by countless feet, and was covered with a thin layer of mud; underneath was the hard soil that had been trampled down a long time ago. This kind of road has a slope, it is too difficult to walk, and if you are not careful, you will fall all over the mud.

Some places are paved with stone slabs, but they are uneven. If you step on it, there will be a "beep", and the muddy water will stain your face.

The frowning general was called Li Tinggui. He had a broad face and a hulking figure. He was a standard northern man... because he was indeed from Hedong (Shanxi).

Li Tinggui is now the leader of the Shu Army on the northern frontier defense line. With the military power commanded by Pingsheng Controlling Hedu, he leads the "Northern Route Army Camp Command". He only arrived at Qingniling three days ago. The reinforcements he led were too late to go to the front. As soon as they arrived in Xingzhou, they heard that Qin, Feng, Cheng, and Jie had all fallen; the Zhou army moved too fast.

The idea in Li Tinggui's mind now is to defend Qingniling, let's see the situation... A few days ago, Wang Zhaoyuan, an official of the Privy Council, clamored for a counterattack.

Twenty years back, Li Tinggui felt that the Shu army could still send troops to fight for supremacy, but now, relying on the terrain to defend it should be a good thing. If the Shu army can beat the Zhou army in a frontal field battle, will Qin Fengcheng lose? Li Tinggui thought that Wang Zhaoyuan didn't use his brain to think about things, but his ass|eyes; it seemed that he claimed to have ingenious strategies, and he didn't need to fight or calculate to kill the elite soldiers on the opposite side.

Li Tinggui and his generals walked down the hillside, turned around and looked around. The east and north sides were covered with continuous mountains and forests. Except for the Qingniling road, there was almost no human habitation on the mountains and forests; Only the Shu Road in the south is the road, and the reinforcements came along the Shu Road.

Regardless of the difficulty of the road, Li Tinggui and his party trekked south along the edge of the western mountain forest, but the terrain is continuous, and the places that can be walked are always under the control of the Shu Road.

Seeing that it was already afternoon, he was about to give up this inspection. Then I found a good place to go, and went east to join the Shu Road to return to the barracks.

At this moment, Li Tinggui noticed that in a forest on a hillside, a person in blue clothes was hiding in the bushes and looking around. Li Tinggui looked at it for a while, and found that there were no villages and houses around, only a temple at the foot of the hillside, so he asked the guide and entourage of the Qingniling Posthouse: "What temple is that?"

The guide hurriedly said, "It's a nunnery."

Li Tinggui looked around again, and suddenly said: "There is a spy on the mountain, come here, stop it from all sides, and arrest that spy!"

"Decree!" The two generals clasped their fists together, waved their hands and ran towards the hillside with their soldiers. When they reached the front of the hill, they split into two groups and encircled the back of the hill. Li Tinggui went straight to the nunnery with the remaining soldiers and entourage.

A dilapidated courtyard and a building on the top of Qingwaxie Mountain are located on the hillside. When Li Tinggui walked to the gate of the temple, he saw a wrinkled old nun clasped his hands together and sighed: "Amitabha..."

Li Tinggui ignored it, and the horse soldiers around him rode their horses around the nunnery. After a while, the soldiers in the forest came down, escorting a young woman in a blue Taoist robe, her arms were tied behind her back, her head was drooping, and she was driven down.

This woman is obviously not a nun, she has long hair on her head, and her behavior doesn't look like a monk... Judging by her attire, could she be a Taoist priest? Everyone is also very curious, when can nuns and Taoist priests mix together?

"Are you a Taoist priest?" Li Tinggui asked as expected.

The woman said nothing. Li Tinggui said again: "If you are a Taoist priest and you have a degree certificate, we have caught the wrong one. I will ask someone to let you go."

After a while, a general scolded: "General Li asked you something, dumb?"

Li Tinggui immediately said: "Take off your clothes and search carefully!"

"I'm a Taoist priest, a Taoist priest..." the woman said immediately. But when he spoke, it was the original accent.

Li Tinggui stopped talking to her and shouted: "Arrest all the people in the nunnery!"

After hearing this, all the soldiers rushed into the nunnery. At this time, a dozen nuns wearing cloth caps and gray cloth robes came down from the stone steps of the main hall. When a nun in her thirties saw the rebels rushing in, she hurriedly said: "How can you fight rashly in a pure place of Buddhism?" A group of nuns behind took up sticks. Seeing this, all the soldiers took up their weapons one after another and shouted: "The nuns want to resist with weapons, will they kill or not?"

Li Tinggui also walked in and said, "Take it!"

At present, the nun was holding a Buddhist bead, and when she saw the rebels rushing up, she stopped the people behind her and said: "Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately, put down the butcher's knife..."

Seeing them throwing away their sticks, everyone rushed forward, completely ignoring what the nun was reading there, and tied them with hemp rope. Another group of people rushed inside, and after a while, the two women were pushed out. One of them was dark and strong, and the other was a teenage girl.

At this time, the nun holding the Buddhist beads could not count the number of Buddhist beads. Her hands were tied behind her back and she knelt on the ground. She said: "The poor nuns are hiding in the mountains, with the blue lamps and ancient Buddhas, and they have nothing to do with the world. The general treats us defenseless people, can you be called a hero?"

Li Tinggui sneered and said: "You colluded with the Zhou Dynasty, ate inside and outside, harbored spies, and still have nothing to do with the world? Take them all back to the camp and torture them one by one."

Two people with hair on their heads didn't say a word. But the teenage girl yelled: "Who is a spy? We are just passing by and staying here temporarily. Who do you think is a spy?"

One of the sergeants who escorted him laughed and said, "We say you are a spy, and you are a spy. It doesn't help if you shout your throat."

After saying that, he took the rope and was about to go forward, when suddenly a cloud of white smoke rose in front of him, the sergeant was confused, covered his face and yelled "Wow". Seeing this, the two nearby sergeants rushed forward immediately. There seemed to be a flash of silver in the white smoke, and the two threw away their spears together, holding their necks together and shouting "Aiya".

It was too late and then soon, everyone didn't see how she hurt people, they saw that she had already run to the side of the wall, jumped up and grabbed the edge of the wall with both hands, but fell down again, sat on the ground with her buttocks, and cried with a "wow". When everyone looked back, they saw her palms spread out, bloody on them. It turned out that there were spikes placed on the wall, but she pressed on it.

I saw that little lady wearing Taoist robes, combing her hair in a bun, and carrying a cloth bag. A melon face with single eyelids is delicate and cute, but his complexion is rosy, and he looks very good. He is no more than fifteen years old.

Seeing her slumped and sitting in the yard, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and gathered around her in a calm manner.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the sergeant who had been splashed with white ashes just now suddenly went crazy, humming and dancing in the courtyard, joyous like a madman. The general shouted violently, but he ignored it, and continued to jump around in the yard, and that guy was a big and thick man, and his jumping was very funny. For a while, the appearance in the nunnery was really weird.

Li Tinggui looked around, frowned and said, "Take them all away and leave this place." After saying that, he turned around and left the nunnery first.

The little girl was caught and yelled loudly: "My master is Fuyao! I've seen your imperial concubine, Mrs. Huarui, take me to see Mrs. Huarui!"

"Huh?" Li Tinggui glanced back at her again, and said, "The young lady will be detained separately, so don't hurt her."

This place is not far from the Shu Road, and all the troops tied the "captives" together, drove up the Shu Road, and headed north along the road. As far as the post house is the first reinforcement station where the Shu army arrived, the post house has become a military camp. Except for the young lady, all the nuns and the two women who were frightened and trembling were all locked into a guest room in the post house.

In the army, Li Tinggui met Zhao Chongtao, the Hakka envoy who served as the capital prison with the army, and asked him to interrogate the spies. The little girl was locked up alone, and no one paid attention to her.

Zhao Chongtao is Shuling's son, but not a judge. His method was very simple. He immediately ordered the two female Taoist priests to be hung under the eaves of the post house, and then beat them with whips regardless of whether they were indiscriminate or not.

"Hit the spies to death, hit me!" Zhao Chongtao yelled. The two sergeants were urged to take off their armor, picked up their whips and "cracked" wildly, causing blood to splash, and screams resounded through the sky.

The strong black woman cried and begged for mercy, her body was hanging under the beam and her face was contorted. The army's leather whips can't even be tolerated by soldiers, let alone women, if they are whipped with enough force, their clothes will be torn, blood will be seen immediately, and the skin will be cut open.

After a while, both women fainted, and the sergeant hoisted cold water from the well and splashed it on. Blood flowed across the ground immediately. The strong black woman woke up faintly, and immediately moaned in pain, the rags and flesh on her body were all stained together. The other woman hung there motionless, the sergeant stepped forward to sniff, then turned around and said, "Supervisor Zhao, one of them died."

"I recruit, I recruit everything, you let me recruit..." the black strong woman begged.

At this time, Zhao Chongtao took a stool and sat down, and asked the scribe to prepare the case to record the confession. The woman said: "I am a spy of the Zhou Dynasty, I am really..."

Zhao Chongtao asked for a long time, but the woman didn't know what to ask, she just talked nonsense, the only thing that was useful was to admit that she came from Tokyo, and she was in Qingniling Nunnery to explore the terrain and do detailed work.

The clerk said inside: "Mr. Zhao, I know a method. Those left by Wu Zhou can scare the imperial capital to death..."

Suddenly there was a scolding, Li Tinggui came out, "humph", pointed at the black woman and said: "Qingniling is guarded by the Shu army, where do you pass the news from?"
