Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 1067
Early morning, misty.

Riding more than three thousand steps with great fanfare, they left the south gate of Gaotang County and headed towards Boping.

Dozens of horse-drawn carriages were driving out at the gate of the city, they immediately avoided the side when they saw this, the drivers and the men of strength lowered their heads and remained silent.

It took a while for the soldiers to completely disappear into the morning mist.

After waiting for a while, the lead driver Han San shouted, "Let's go."

The convoy moved on.

The carriage was full of dead bodies.Han San spent a whole night with others cleaning up more than [-] objects in total.

There were more than 800 strong young men, all of whom could hold bows and wield knives and guns, but they all died last night.

Most of them don't live in the city.The Xia people ordered that the body be buried in a pit, and there is no need to return the body to the family.No one dared to disobey this order, and now Han San and the others did this job.

The atmosphere in the team was dull and depressing.Lifu Wang Er couldn't hold back, and said in a low voice: "Two thousand government soldiers were killed in one battle, and Li Daonu was too useless. The town soldiers, prefectural and county soldiers, and volunteer soldiers also suffered heavy casualties. If this continues, there will still be soldiers who can fight Is it?"

Cui Da, the driver, heard this, and said in a low voice: "The people Li Daonu took out were buried yesterday, not far from the Yellow River. General Zhao Shi went out to rescue the city, but was also defeated. The Xia people dug a big pit , I don’t know how many people were buried.”

"Oh, I'm afraid it's not less than two thousand." Wang Er sighed: "Li Daonu is such a waste, if I were in charge, I wouldn't be able to trick the Zhongxia people."

"Are you going to command?" Cui Da was amused, although his heart was heavy, and he said, "It's up to you, forget it."

"What do you know? Few of my peers can match my martial arts. I just have no chance." Wang Er said angrily.

"Now there is a way, do you dare to go?" Cui Da looked at Wang Er and asked with burning eyes.

Wang Er paused first, and then asked back, "Why don't you dare?"

He knew what Cui Da said about the "connection", wasn't it just a militia force that got a blank report and self-appointed as a suppressing envoy and a military envoy?

"Aren't you afraid of death?" Cui Da asked, pointing to the corpse in the carriage.

"Staying is also death." Wang Er said without hesitation: "Xia people have no peace of mind at all, and they may be slaughtered one day. In the current situation, there is no livelihood in the city, and it is impossible to live happily. Why not?" Go for it."

"Go together." Cui Daxi said.

Han San sighed lightly.He is old and doesn't want to make trouble anymore, but he also doesn't want to stop the two young men.

Once the Xia people retreated, the shogunate recruited soldiers again, and the sons and daughters were recruited into the army, and most of them would still die at that time.

Even if the Xia people don't leave, they may not be able to continue to live in Gaotang County.Do not believe?I heard from the rout soldiers hiding in the village that the people in Jingcheng, Zongcheng and other places were moved to Qingtang in large numbers by the Xia people, and half of them would die on the way.

Anyway, it is dead, it is better to fight.

Weibo is in trouble!He raised a handful of paper money, meditating in his heart, calling for the souls of the dead to come and collect the money.

In the funeral rituals of the state, "The objects used by ghosts are different from those of humans. Only gold and silk are commonly used, but they are not as good as fake ones. Gold is painted with yellow tin, and silk is made of paper. The most expensive."

These yellow paper money are the "silk silk" used by ghosts in the underworld.

The convoy gradually moved away, only the paper money scattered in the wind scattered all over the floor.

"You fucking murdered prisoners, you guys will die!"

"Traitors! Runners! Your ancestors also fought for Wei Bo back then, but your descendants are so unworthy!"

"I'm waiting for you, it won't end well."

"Don't kill me, I am willing to surrender!"

There was a lot of noise along the Yongji Canal, and the noise shook the sky.

Thousands of sergeants lined up in the field with guns, with indifferent and serious expressions.

They are already numb.

As a traitor in Weibo Town, gaining a place under Shao Shude's subordinates by killing his own people was a big stain in itself.It's a pity that Shao Shude didn't trust them either, so he threw them into the river directly and asked them to suppress all kinds of rebellions.After finally returning to Weibo today, I came to do dirty work again.

Scold it, scold it, it's really nothing, just get used to it.

Huo Liangsi, the soldier in the left wing, was scolded especially hard, but he didn't show any angry expression on his face. Instead, he walked up to the captive who was bound and kneeling on the ground with a horizontal knife, smiled cruelly, and then used The hilts smashed their teeth one by one.

"Kill it, kill it. What are you doing to humiliate people? Let's do it!" The military envoy of the Xiaojie army and the envoy of the soldiers and horses in the right wing waved Feng Zangzhi's big hand and ordered.

"Obey." Huo Liangsi was startled, put away his small thoughts of teasing and revenge, and ordered them to be slaughtered.

All of a sudden, Bai Lian's sword light flashed continuously, and hundreds of human heads fell to the ground.

After the killing, the sergeant collected the heads calmly and threw the body into the river.

The hundreds of people who were killed came from Beizhou, Linqing and other places, and most of them were military academies. Among them, there were many suppressing envoys, deputy envoys, and military envoys who served on the front line. It is difficult to figure out how many copies Luo Shaowei sent Sue, anyway, it is right to kill these people after they are caught.

If you want to rebel, you must either be rich, powerful, ruthless, or famous. If you don't meet these conditions, it will be difficult to gather all the people.

When people are not organized, they are mobs. Killing these organized people can of course effectively reduce the possibility of rebellion.

"Military envoy, all 92 generals and schools below Tian Ben have been executed." Huo Liangsi also beheaded one person himself, and returned to his command at this time, with a strong smell of blood on his body.

Feng Zangzhi nodded, and said: "You don't need to worry about Wei Bo's personnel transfer. There are still more than seven thousand people in your ministry, who are the main force of the Xiaojie Army. You need to rely on more to attack the city and pull out the village."

There are more than 1 people in the hatchback of the Xiaojie Army, and there are [-] soldiers in the left wing, basically from Hezhong, and the right wing is from the two prefectures of Xiangwei.The sergeants of the hatchback and the sergeant are clearly separated, and they basically can't play together.

Shao Shude's previous strategy was to guard the river with soldiers, and the guards with each other to guard the river, and both sides suppressed the rebellion mercilessly.After the news spread, the estrangement deepened.

The persistent disease of regionalism is really hard to overcome.

In fact, Feng Zangzhi still admires these guards.

Among the Wei Bowufu they killed, there were quite a few Xiangwei accents, but they still did not hesitate to do it.It's best to stay away from these cruel people in the future.

There were crying and crying in the distance.

Group after group of civilians were escorted out, and under the urging of the sergeant, they staggered westward.

They will go south to Heyang via Xing Mingci, continue south after recuperating, and go to Ruzhou for a second recuperation, and finally arrive at Xiang, Ying and Fuzhou.

Leaving a home and business is hard.Moreover, they were also designated as "criminal relatives", even if they were not full of hatred, they must be very dissatisfied with King Xia.From now on to Xiangzhen, I don't know how many hardships and obstacles I have to go through along the way, how many people buried their bones in other places, and after barely settling down, they may not necessarily have enough food for the first two years.

Obviously, it will take at least several generations of appeasement and rectification before they can slowly eliminate their resentment towards King Xia and the new dynasty.If something happened to the new dynasty or even collapsed, it might be the source of the rebellion.

King Xia's move is really a big gamble.

"Since mid-September, more than [-] households should have been moved away?" Outside Beizhou City, Lu Huaizhong asked suddenly, looking at the soldiers and horses that were storming the city.

Commander Wang Jichuan of the Xiangzhou State Army stood aside, and immediately replied after hearing the words: "Yes, there are a total of [-] and [-] households."

Of course he knew that the people were all escorted by state soldiers from the second state.

In fact, from Wang Jichuan's point of view, the houses in the Weibo countryside are densely packed, and there are really many people. The removal of [-] households seems to be nothing to them.

However, the same [-] households is a huge number for the three prefectures of Xiang, Ying, and Fu. It is basically the limit that the local area can accept in a short period of time.No matter how many, all kinds of materials will not be able to be supplied, which will eventually lead to famine, which is not beautiful.

"It's not difficult to catch another [-] households." Kang Yanxiao, the general's envoy, said, "Wei Bo's bastards are about the same as Zhu Xuan, Zhu Jin, and Shi Pu back then."

The generals in the tent all laughed.

King Xia's fight against Wei Bo was, to a certain extent, very similar to Zhu Quanzhong's fight against Er Zhu and Shi Pu.

Er Zhu and Shi Pu failed in field battles one after another, and in the end they could only rely on defense.When Liang Jun came, he pretended to be dead, and when Liang Jun left, he quickly hoarded food, grass, equipment, replenished recruits, and prepared for the next stubborn resistance.

It is to spend with you, exhausted to the end of the mountain, and surrendered if he couldn't hold on anymore. Zhu Quanzhong was so angry that he directly killed the prisoners, and forced the people to move to the hinterland of the Xuanwu Army to replenish the population of his own territory-this is the only way out of desperation. Shi Pu's final failure was also because the sergeants couldn't even eat enough and had to surrender.

King Xia is now learning from Zhu Quanzhong.

You don't fight, you stick to it, that's fine.I will move your people and make it more difficult for you to raise food, produce weapons, and recruit new soldiers. In this way, Wei Bo will be defeated without a fight in a short time.

Lu Huaizhong also shook his head and smiled wryly.

This kind of battle is also very violent to the destruction of the place.

Yun, Yan, and Xu three towns, what kind of ghosts are they now?

Take the Tianping Army as an example. Yun, Cao, and Pu had a population of 70 million in their heyday, and there were still more than one million after the chaos. Even if a large number of hermits were found, it would be good to have half of the people in the prime time.

"Okay." Lu Huaizhong waved his hand, restraining the desire of the generals to discuss the matter in depth, and said: "Your Highness has sent me more troops, and there must be an explanation today. There are no strong soldiers in Beizhou. After fighting for so long, the guards in the city The army suffered a lot of casualties. From today onwards, you must urge your soldiers to fight bravely and take this city. Once in Beizhou, the Chengde army would not dare to come south easily, and our army can save a lot of troops, which will benefit a lot.”

"Of order." All the generals responded in unison.

With the three armies of Tujiang, Jinglue, and Wuwei in hand, even tens of thousands of cavalry from the Silver Spear Army were assigned to them, plus the new Tutuan peasants, there were more than [-] people.Although the king of Xia did not have a rigid requirement to attack the city, he wanted to kill and injure the enemy in large numbers, but if he failed to capture even one state city, it would not be easy to explain.

If it really doesn't work, they will be recruited in Weibo and forced to attack the city. In short, they must be taken down.
