Chapter 327
It’s really a narrow road for enemies!
Just a few days ago, in order to gain Long Tianhao's trust, Li Ling and his friends took action to kill a rival in Liping, Jiang You, the southwestern general who once destroyed the Huntian Army. At that time, they also heard that he had another elder brother named Jiang Han in southern Yunnan, but he didn't take it too seriously at that time.
As for more major events and changes later, they naturally threw this person behind their minds. Until now, the ignored Jiang Han suddenly appeared in front of him and also revealed the reason why he would appear here.
Jiang Han is a top figure in the southern Yunnan army. He is in charge of military power and has the responsibility of inspecting the military affairs of various prefectures and counties in the province. It is precisely because he happened to take on this responsibility. When he was inspecting outside, he learned about the murder of his younger brother, and then he was furious and went straight to Qianzhou regardless of other places.
Yes, Jiang Han did not take any orders to return to Linbian Town, but acted privately, wanting to go to Qianzhou to find out the murder of his younger brother and avenge him. Otherwise, with his identity, it would be impossible for him to bring only two hundred personal soldiers out of southern Yunnan, and the generals in the southern Yunnan army would not really let him take this public order to avenge his private revenge.
However, he was quite straightforward. In front of Li Ling and the others, he told all his identity and purpose. Then when he saw the four people's expressions change, he immediately thought of something: "What, do you know the inside story of my brother Jiang You being killed?"
I just knew the inside story. We arranged to get rid of this person. Li Ling sighed in his heart, but of course it was impossible to tell the truth, and immediately said, "General Jiang Xun is really looking at him like a torch. It's not to be hiding from it. When the incident happened, we were in Liping City."
Jiang Han was also moved and hurriedly grabbed Li Ling's hand: "Do you know who the murderer is?"
Li Ling shook his head slightly: "At that time, we only rested there as an ordinary businessman, so we really don't know who was the one who attacked him. However, there is one thing that many local people know, that is, General Jiang You and the people of the Long family have never been dealt with, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they have grudges!"
"It's them!" Jiang Han gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "I've gone to Qianzhou this time. I will seek justice for my brother and let those who harm him pay for their lives!"
"General Jiang, please listen to me. If you go to Qianzhou at this time, it would be too dangerous. Now there is a mess there. The monks in the village have taken Xunyang together with the Luo Tian Sect, the remnants of the Huntian Army, and some people from the Long family. This was the case more than half a month ago." Li Ling quickly persuaded.
Jiang Han was even more shocked when he heard this. In fact, he had heard Li Ling mention that there was something change in Qianzhou, but because he was more concerned about the death of his brother, he did not pay too much attention. But now, after hearing this, he finally felt something was wrong: "Are you telling it seriously?"
"You don't dare to make a mistake in such a big deal. To be honest, we came here at this time because of the Qianzhou Rebellion. Also, these people were waiting here for us!" Li Ling said, and looked at the prisoners next to him, "And I believe that the situation in Qianzhou will only be even worse than when we left. General, if you just run away like this, it's probably too dangerous. Because those people are ambitions to take Qianzhou from the court and become a domineering place!"
Jiang Han took a deep breath. As an important general in the southwest, he certainly knew very well what the chaos in Qianzhou meant. If this was true, it would be a big chaos that shocked the world. Even the Marquis of Dingxi would be poor enough to deal with it.
However, he still had some doubts now. After all, he had not received any news before. Just one-sided statement from Li Ling and others. Can it be accepted? Thinking of this, he suddenly looked at the prisoners: "Say, do you know about this incident in Qianzhou!"
Jia Jun and others were listening to their conversation, but they were shocked and puzzled. They really didn't know that Li Ling had such an identity, and they didn't know what happened to Li Ping. However, as a remnant of the Huntian Army, Xunyang's incident still received news. At this moment, when Jiang Han suddenly asked, the few people subconsciously nodded: "Yes, yes..."
"What's going on in Xunyang and the entire Qianzhou now?" Jiang Han approached again and asked anxiously.
The few people then reacted and wanted to deny it, but when they saw the weapons around them that were flashing cold light in the firelight, they still compromised and immediately told them all the things they had: "Agoing the New Year, an incident occurred in Xunyang City. My military advisor and several forces seized control of the city. At the same time, all the soldiers and horses of Shengman villages were dispatched to raid the cities of Qianzhou. Just two days ago, the four cities of the Long Family Sects were taken down by us. Long Tianxiang, Long Tianhao, and Long Tianbiao had also reached an alliance with us..."
Listening to these familiar names, Li Ling's expression became more and more serious. Qianzhou was completely destroyed. Long Tianhao and the others actually turned to the rebels. In this way, their power was greater and they could fully control the cities of Qianzhou. In addition, the huge number of barbarians in various mountains, even if the imperial court really wanted to send troops, it might not be able to quell the chaos in a short period of time.
Jiang Han also figured this out, his expression was gloomy. Then, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, but through this statement, I was reminded of one thing, I am afraid that his brother's death would be related to this! It was those guys, especially Long Tianhao, who were worried that the rebellion would be discovered and destroyed by Jiang You in advance, so he took the initiative to take action!
He was in southern Yunnan and didn't know the cause and effect of these things, nor did he know the role Li Ling and the others played in these things. Naturally, he naturally added the hatred of his brother's death to the rebels. This made him grit his teeth and his hatred was so distorted: "Long Tianhao, Long Tianxiang... So, he is so brave, he dares to do such a thing!"
"General, don't act reckless because of a momentary aura. Now Qianzhou is already under the hands of the rebels waiting for the Long family. If you run away at this time, it's no different from sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth." Seeing this, Li Ling quickly reminded him that he was really afraid that the other party would be blinded by hatred and make such a decision.
This underestimated Jiang Han's nature. After he said this resentful sentence, he quickly calmed down: "Don't worry, I'm not stupid enough to take these people to Qianzhou to take revenge. Now it seems that this matter is no longer my personal grudge, but it is related to the stability of the entire southwest. I must return to Kunzhou immediately and bring the news to the Marquis, and he will make the final decision!"
After all, he was a long-time general, and once he calmed down, he could make the most correct decision. But then, he looked at the remnants of the Huntian Army: "If you want to survive, you should bring out everything you know, otherwise, I wouldn't mind killing you now and paying homage to my brother Jiang You's spirit in heaven!"
When he said this, his expression was quite calm, but the more he did so, the more pressure he put on Jia Jun and the others, and some of them had already trembled slightly because of fear. After being stared at by Jiang Han's eyes, someone even hurriedly shouted: "I...I said..."
These people say that they are remnants of the Huntian Army, but in fact, most of them have been developed over the years. It turns out that those who are truly loyal to Huntian King Chang Hao are not many, and they will not do such dirty work. Because of this, when their lives are threatened, they naturally choose to save their lives.
Only Jia Jun, who looked at everything coldly at this moment, said something obviously worthless, looked at Jiang Han with a provocative look: "Do you think my brothers in the Huntian Army are really afraid of death?" With just this sentence, people can guess that he is the important person.
But as soon as he said this, before Jiang Han got angry, he saw him gritting his teeth, and then his body twitched, and the man slowly fell down. Yang Chen rushed up quickly, but was still one step later. He only looked at his twisted face and the black blood flowing from the corners of his mouth and sighed: "He has a poisonous sac hidden in his mouth, and he has bitten it and committed suicide."
Those who knew some inside story would rather die than to attack, and the others were all useless things, which made the few people feel helpless. In the end, Jiang Han could only give him a command and ask him to tie them up and guard them all, and wait for tomorrow dawn to escort them back to Queensland.
Although he was determined to take revenge, the priorities of the matter were still distinguished, so what he had to do now was to go back as soon as possible and let Dingxi Hou make arrangements.
As for Li Ling and the others, they took the opportunity to travel with them to Kunzhou. After all, they came to the southwest to persuade local officials to pay the tax and silver in full according to the court regulations. Now, except for those local officials, the only court officials in southern Yunnan who really hold real power is Dingxi Hou. Naturally, they have to see him first and try to convince him.
Jiang Han did not refuse this, but said: "Tomorrow morning, we will go west at full speed and will not stop at all. If we can't keep up, don't think we will wait for you."
Li Ling and his men naturally agreed, and when they set off in dawn, the generals were shocked because the other party prepared so much horses, only four people, there were as many as ten, and one person and two cavalry were surplus, and most of the hundreds of people here were still infantrymen.
However, they had no intention of snatching the extra horses. Originally, even if they gave them all ten horses, it would be completely insufficient.
Li Ling and his team were naturally able to easily keep up with Jiang Han's team, and with the guidance of this local army in southern Yunnan, it was much easier to travel on their own when they were on their way. Whether it was the choice of the road or the control of time, they didn't have to worry about it anymore.
