Inside the tent.
Li Zexuan also put away the telegraph machine and lay back on the couch to rest. Today, oh, it should be yesterday. Yesterday, the military fighting competition suffered a defeat due to some accidents. At the same time, the E-shaped battalion also achieved quite good results. After this battle, he has initially established a firm position in the Xuanjia Army. Heel, and killed the arrogance of the old man who killed Qiu Xinggong.
Of course, the situation in Taiyuan City in recent days has always been on his mind. Now that he heard that the situation in Taiyuan City has improved, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief! Next, he can put more thought into preparing for the military strength competition between the B-shaped battalion and the E-shaped battalion in two days!
In his initial prediction, the key to rescuing Li Tai was not how many soldiers and horses, but time! As long as the situation in Taiyuan City can be stabilized, time can be bought to rescue Li Tai, and the person he sends will have a chance to rescue Li Tai. He believes in that person's ability!
In fact, if it weren't for the Xuanjia Army who really couldn't escape, Li Zexuan would have rushed to Taiyuan personally as soon as he learned of the crisis in Taiyuan, not only because the kidnapped Li Tai was the prince of the Tang Dynasty, but also because the elites of Yanhuang Academy were still In Taiyuan, those people are the seeds of engineering and the treasures of the academy!
"Businessmen from Anguo, nine surnames of Zhaowu! Humph! I didn't want to provoke you at first, but now that you have provoked me, don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless!"
In the darkness, Li Zexuan thought about what had just been reported in Tiedan's telegram about Anshun Mountain's bribery of prison guards and government soldiers, as well as Kang's merchants hoarding food and creating chaos in the city. There was a cold look in his eyes, and he whispered to himself.
If this had been the case when he had just traveled through time, facing a "behemoth" like the Nine Surnames of Zhaowu, he would naturally have no strength to fight against them! But now he is not only the prince of the Tang Dynasty, but also the actual controller of the largest chamber of commerce in the Tang Dynasty. Not only is he powerful, he is also very rich. With his own strength, he can fight against all the Hu merchants in the Tang Dynasty, let alone him. There are also many powerful chamber of commerce members under my command!
At this time, those Hu businessmen with the nine surnames provoked him. It can only be said that they have found the wrong opponent! Li Zexuan didn't mind at all, driving all the nine Hus who were doing business in the Tang Dynasty out of the Central Plains and replacing them with members of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce!
Of course, these are just afterthoughts. He has more important things to do in front of him. After the trouble in Taiyuan is resolved, and when he is done with the things at hand, it will not be too late to settle this account with the nine surnames of Zhaowu!
The camp was still full of snores. The sound of Li Zexuan getting up to send and receive telegrams did not wake up Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin. The main reason was that these two people consumed too much in the ring competition during the day, let alone at this time. The telegraph machine beeped. It was estimated that even if there was thunder outside, it would not be able to wake them up!
Li Zexuan shook his head helplessly, then lay down and turned over, closing his eyes and preparing to rest. Tomorrow's training mission in the army is not light, and he must seize the time to rest and recharge his batteries!
… … … … … … …
"Pa~!"
"Tell me! How many people have you bribed in total?"
"Speak quickly! Who else is your accomplice?"
Although it was late at night and most people had already rested, the prison in Taiyuan Prefecture was brightly lit and "busy"! Xuanye, Tianying, Zuo Gongquan, Fan Tingquan and other Bingzhou soldiers were all severely tortured, and various torture methods such as sticks, charcoal, and flogging were used. Fang Gongteng would not be as merciful to these people as he was to Zhao Deyan, because even if these people were killed, they deserved it and it would not affect the situation in Taiyuan City!
Fang Gongteng walked up and down the passage, inspecting the interrogation conditions in each cell. This time, he specially transferred more than a dozen torture experts from the army to interrogate traitors such as Zuo Gongquan and Fan Tingquan, as well as two experts, Xuan Ye and Tianying. Interrogations were going on at the same time in more than a dozen cells. Fang Gongteng was Racing against time!
Because he had previously issued a military order in front of Li Junxian to find out all the people in the Bingzhou camp who had colluded with Anshun Mountain and Turkic spies before dawn! Since he said so, he will definitely find ways to do it.
"Joining the army, according to Fan Tingquan's account, the captain of the fourth battalion and the two team captains also received the benefits of Anshun Mountain!"
At this time, a sergeant trotted out of the cell, bowed to Fang Gongteng and said with fists.
Fang Gongteng said expressionlessly: "Send my military order to arrest the captain of the fourth battalion and the two team members! After they are arrested, they will be interrogated immediately. If it is true, they will be investigated to see if they have any accomplices; If the accusation is false, I don’t need to teach you how to punish Fan Tingquan, right?"
The sergeant was shocked and quickly clasped his fists and said, "I understand!"
After saying that, he quickly stood up and walked towards the outside of the prison.
By the way, for so many years as a soldier in Bingzhou Camp, this is the first time he has seen Fang Gongteng so cold-blooded and ruthless! But having said that, before that, Fang Gongteng was not the commander-in-chief of the Bingzhou camp, he was just a small soldier who joined the army. There were captains and governors above him. Even if he wanted to show off his power at that time, he had no chance!
"Joining the army, Zuo Gongquan told me that General Huang Lang in the camp also accepted Anshun Shan's benefits. Anshun Shan was worried about the temporary change of defense in the governor's office, so he made two preparations!"
At this time, another sergeant trotted out and hugged Fang Gongteng.
Hearing this, Fang Gongteng's face suddenly became gloomier. He said coldly: "Catch him! Catch him immediately. I will interrogate him personally!"
This sentence was almost said by Fang Gongteng through gritted teeth. Zuo Gongquan and Huang Wu are old men in the Bingzhou camp. When Xu Tingda, the captain of Bingzhou, was still there, these two people could be said to be Xu Tingda's right-hand men. In terms of qualifications, these two people are not inferior to him Fang Gongteng at all, but now in Under the inducement of huge sums of money from Anshun Mountain, these two veterans of the Bingzhou camp chose to surrender to the enemy without hesitation. How could Fang Gongteng not feel sad
After all, when he was ordered to temporarily take over the Bingzhou camp, he planned to rely on these two veterans! Otherwise, he would not have handed over the important task of guarding the Governor's Mansion to Zuo Gongquan!
"yes!"
The sergeant bowed to accept the order, then turned and left.
Fang Gongteng's face was as dark as water. He looked at Zuo Gongquan and others who were being tortured in the cell next to him, and then at the back of the soldier who was retreating. He couldn't help but ask himself: The world has not been at peace for long, why? Will the Bingzhou Camp be in such a state of decay
From this point of view, Li Er asked him to temporarily take over the military affairs of Bingzhou Camp. This was not a good job, because Bingzhou Camp had already become a "mess"!
