retaliate

Chapter 1257

After Yang Lue and He Cong broke the city, when most of the rebels poured into the city, they got out wearing the armor of the rebels.

"Where?"

A brigade marshal stopped the two of them and asked.

That's different from the people of Tang Dynasty, there is more suspicion on some white faces.

"Go to hell!"

Yang Lue seemed to go to support Lu Shuai, and pressed on his lower back, Lu Shuai's complexion changed, and then his eyes darkened.

The two walked out with the brigade commander in their arms.

After walking not far, I heard cheers from the city.

"Slaughter the city!"

"Slaughter the city!"

"Slaughter the city!"

He Cong's expression changed, "They want to massacre the city!"

Yang Lue's face remained unchanged, "Let's go!"

Later, the two got the horse and fled away.

The city has become a hell on earth.

The rebels burned, killed and looted the city, and people could be seen running away everywhere, and the foreign rebels behind them were chasing after them with wild laughter.

Those women's desperate cries for help echoed over the entire city.

A woman hugged her child and stumbled to the bottom of the city, raised her head and howled, "Let my child go, I am willing to serve the general!"

Tao Song stood at the top of the city and said: "Go and report to the Duke, our troops broke Huangzhou, the defenders fought stubbornly, and the soldiers lost their eyes after a long battle and slaughtered the city by mistake."

A rebel came after the woman. He snatched the child, threw it to the ground, and dragged the woman along the street.

Later, the rebels got up, and there was already a long line behind them.

The woman stared blankly at the sky.

suddenly shouted:

"God! Open your eyes and look at this world!"

The autumn wind brought coolness. At the top of the city, Tao Song looked at Huangzhou City, which was gradually engulfed by flames, and said with a smile:
"The autumn wind brings coolness, great things can be done!"

……

On the official road, a steady stream of rebels are marching.

Shi Zhongtang and his guards were beside the road, and the scouts were reporting.

"...Songzhou has already noticed something is wrong, scouts are everywhere, and the villain and his subordinates fought with them..."

Shi Zhongtang frowned slightly, "Why did Songzhou notice something wrong?"

The scout shook his head.

He Zun said: "Duke, I'm afraid it's Jin Yong's fault."

Wei Ming said: "That dog thief must be slandering the Duke everywhere."

After finishing speaking, Wei Ming suddenly smiled, and He Zun also smiled.

Slander what?
"Slander me for treason?" Shi Zhongtang said: "I am the side of the Qing emperor!"

He Zun smiled, "It doesn't matter if the raid fails, the Songzhou defenders are not enough to stop the army."

Shi Zhongtang said: "Ask what's going on in Huangzhou."

Some people went, He Zun said: "I estimate that Chang'an will get the news within ten days. Within ten days, we must go to Songzhou, shock the world, and hit the morale of Chang'an's army."

"The Chang'an army was waiting for the Duke's army on the way, and now they are probably impatient and cursing endlessly." Wei Ming said with a smile: "Chang'an is empty, and just rushed into Guanzhong in one go, dragged the dog emperor down, and let the Duke sit on it."

"What nonsense!" Shi Zhongtang said flatly.

"Yes." Wei Ming said with a smile: "Then let that idiot King Yue ascend the throne, and the Duke will be his aye, hahahaha!"

The crowd burst into laughter.

"The news from the northern border should be inquired and reported in time," Shi Zhongtang said.

He Zun said: "It is said that the Shegu people are brave, Yang Xuan is probably trapped in the Ningxing area."

"If that's the case, he will definitely not evacuate." Wei Ming said: "If he evacuates, once the Shegu people occupy the former land of Beiliao, they will quickly become stronger. When the time comes when the north and the south attack, how can he be undefeated?"

"Everyone in the world has seen the predicament in northern Xinjiang, so Yang Xuan would rather stay in Ningxing at the risk of being attacked by the Chang'an army." Shi Zhongtang's gaze was naturally not bad.

"He is still riding a tiger. It is a pity that Dou Zhong is prudent, and he will not be greedy for merit before our southern border army arrives. Otherwise, if the two sides fight, Chang'an will be like a naked girl. How can I escape? The palm of my southern border army?!"

"Hahahaha!"

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard what he said was interesting.

He Zun knew that Shi Zhongtang didn't like such metaphors, but in order to boost the morale of his subordinates, he reluctantly spoke up.

"Kingdom."

More than ten riders came galloping along the avenue, flew forward and dismounted, and the leading team was kneeling on one knee, "Tao Lang will order the villain to report to the Duke that Huangzhou City will be destroyed."

"Good!" He Zun couldn't help being overjoyed.

Shi Zhongtang's eyes were slightly cold, "Huangzhou, what's the matter?"

The captain said: "After breaking the city, Huangzhou City resisted quite fiercely. The brothers couldn't hold back for a while, so..."

"Just what?" Shi Zhongtang said coldly.

The team was bowing their heads, "Just... slaughtered the city."

"brute!"

Shi Zhongtang drew his sword and beheaded Captain with one blow.

"Duke, calm down! Calm down!" He Zun persuaded, "Tao Song may have some difficulties."

Shi Zhongtang said bitterly: "I raised my army for the side of the Qing emperor. After getting rid of the traitors, I will still return to southern borders to defend the border of the Tang Dynasty. But that bastard Tao Song actually slaughtered the city, how do you want me to face the people of the world?"

He Zun's right hand waved slightly behind him, and several soldiers mixed into the marching army.

Soon, due to the excessive resistance of the army and civilians in Huangzhou, the news that Tao Song's troops massacred the city spread throughout the army.

"Duke, except for a very small number of soldiers from the Tang Dynasty, most of them don't take it seriously. Many people even envy Tao Song's luck and say when they will go to slaughter another city."

At dusk, when the army set up camp, He Zun came to report with the latest news.

"understood."

Shi Zhongtang said in a deep voice.

He Zun resigned, and Wei Ming came over quietly, "Tao Song is not the kind of bold and bold person, how dare he decide to slaughter the city alone? He is not afraid that the Duke will kill him?"

He Zun smiled, "The Duke sent troops under the banner of the Qing emperor, and the Qing emperor sided with the Qing emperor, and the people of the world will be confused for a while. But when the army continues to attack north, the people of the world will naturally wake up."

Of course Wei Ming knew this truth, otherwise he wouldn't be worthy of Shi Zhongtang's attention over the years, "Your Majesty's side, Your Majesty's side, this treacherous sycophant has not killed as many people as we have, nor killed as many people as we have. This is a fucking sycophant. "

If this road is 'cleared up', the south will become a battlefield, countless people will die in the military disaster, countless people will lose their homes and become refugees...

The destructive power of this Qing monarch is much stronger than that of a traitor.

No matter how stupid people are, they can see that the so-called side of the Qing Dynasty is just a fucking mess.

scam!

"Currently the people's life is getting more and more difficult, the refugees are increasing day by day, and the people complain about the emperor a lot. But more people are afraid of the majesty of the emperor, so they target the imperial concubine, saying that she is seductive and seductive."

He Zun said disdainfully: "A man can't control his crotch, he has nothing to do with the world."

"As long as you can be confused for a while!" Wei Ming bumped He Zun with his shoulder, "Why did Tao Song slaughter the city?"

"People in Huangzhou resisted..."

"Do you think I'm an idiot?"

Wei Ming said: "The Duke just took a look at this side, don't care, this is to let you tell me about it."

He Zun glanced at Shi Zhongtang, seeing that he had not hinted at it, he lowered his voice, "Continuing with the previous topic, think about it, what will happen when the servants see through the deceit of Duke Qing?"

"They will gather to resist." Wei Ming said: "So what! Just kill them."

"The Duke and our Southern Border Army will become the public enemy of the world!" He Zun said.

"So what?" Wei Ming stared contemptuously, "From the moment I followed the Duke, I have been thinking, in this life, I will either be extremely rich, or I will die without a place to die."

"It's not bad that you have such an awareness, but what about the lieutenant generals?" The corners of He Zun's mouth twitched slightly.

"There are many alien races in the army, and they have no sense of belonging to Datang." Wei Ming said.

"But the Tang Dynasty is a huge monster! The prestige is still there. Once the battle is frustrated, they will be afraid and want to escape!" He Zun said with a smile: "Don't you understand?"

"This is..." Wei Ming rubbed his forehead, "After Huangzhou City was slaughtered, the world will be terrified, and our army will gradually be afraid of us. It doesn't matter if the Tang Dynasty is successfully destroyed, once the matter fails, everyone will be responsible for the crime of slaughtering Huangzhou City .”

"Yes, no one can escape." He Zun pointed at Wei Ming and himself, "Once things fail, neither you nor I can escape!"

"Good method!" Wei Ming praised, "Who thought of it?"

He Zun said flatly: "It's just some small tricks."

Shi Zhongtang was reading the letter.

The letter was written by Shi Gongming, the governor of Yandong.

He Zun and Wei Ming walked to his side slowly.

After reading the letter, Shi Zhongtang raised his head and said: "Shi Gongming's head is at both ends. Last time, he told me that he was dissatisfied with the present and wanted to find a reason to coerce Chang'an. But in the letter he wrote this time, he said that he would take it easy. , implying that the emperor is old, and the new emperor may be better."

He Zun sneered, "Shi Gongming is serious, but cunning. He wants the Duke to take the lead. If it goes well, he will take the opportunity to rise up in Yandong."

"He also wants our Southern Xinjiang army to contain the Chang'an army, so he can only attack in Yandong." Shi Zhongtang said flatly.

"Duke, this villain should be punished!" Wei Ming said.

"No!" Shi Zhongtang stood with his hands behind his back, and the letter in his hand was rattling by the wind, "Don't underestimate Datang. For hundreds of years, the people of the world have regarded Datang as Zhengshuo.

We can confuse many people in the short term by playing the banner of the Qing Dynasty, and even arouse a lot of sympathy and support.But you have to wait to see that when the Great Tang Guozuo is in crisis, there will be many people who oppose us in this world.

The world is very big, it is not a bad thing to let Shi Gongming step in at this time, at least, it can contain those forces. "

He Zun said: "As for the future, the Duke holds Guanzhong in his hands. Guanzhong is the land of dragon prosperity and the foundation of emperors. It only takes a few years to raise a large army that can run rampant all over the world. At that time..."

Wei Ming said: "At that time, Shi Gongming will be destroyed again!"

On the second day, the army was dispatched.

Tao Song came on the fifth day.

"Dog thief!"

Shi Zhongtang pulled out the horizontal knife and was about to kill someone.

"Your Majesty can't do it!"

He Zun and Wei Ming dragged him one by one, and hugged him by the other, "Tao Song has been with the Duke for many years, and once he made a mistake... the soldiers below couldn't help but kill him. Please forgive him once!"

"Duke, I'm guilty of the crime!"

Tao Song knelt down.

"Please forgive him!"

Everyone begged for mercy.

He Zun snatched the horizontal knife from Shi Zhongtang's hand, and shouted at Tao Song, "Don't get out!"

Tao Song rolled and crawled out, behind him, Shi Zhongtang said coldly: "Heavy responsibility!"

Tao Song was beaten fifty times with a cane, and was carried into his tent as he was dying.

In the middle of the night, a person came in from outside the tent.

Someone lit a candle and walked to the side of the bedding.

"Duke!" Tao Song couldn't sleep because of the pain, but when he saw Shi Zhongtang himself, he struggled to remember.

"Don't move!" Shi Zhongtang held him down, and put the candlestick beside him, "I have the best wound medicine here. Lie on your stomach."

Tao Song got down.

While changing his medicine, Shi Zhongtang said: "That year you were still a leader, you dared to yell at me, and I beat you up, I thought you would become my enemy from now on, but you bastard, I don’t know where I got the wine, and I came to find Lao Tzu to drink in the middle of the night with a bruised nose and a swollen face. What can I say...I admire Lao Tzu who can beat me.”

"Puff!" Tao Song laughed, and then let out a painful groan.

"Later, you hang out with Lao Tzu, and you must rush to the front in every battle. The army is known as a titan. That idiot Zhang Chumao used high-ranking officials and rich salary to win you over, but you, an even more stupid idiot, flatly refused. I would rather follow Lao Tzu, a precarious man." Alien generals. Hey! You are not afraid that I will be knocked down by Zhang Chumao, and you will be unlucky?"

"Not afraid!"

"Why?"

"When I came to Southern Border, it was because I offended someone. When I came to Southern Border, I never thought that I would be able to go back alive. I am withdrawn, and no one in the army welcomes me. But the Duke treats me as a brother, and I have something to eat There must be a share for me, and if there are benefits, I must be taken with me. That time when I made a mistake and was arrested, it was the Duke who took the blame, and Zhang Chumao almost took the opportunity to take it down."

Tao Song hissed softly in pain, "Even though I have become the deputy envoy of Jiedu, the Duke still never sees me outside. I have seen too much of the appearance of such a villain, the Duke is sincere."

"I've thought about this for a long time. At first I wanted Chunyu to go, but after much deliberation, I felt that he couldn't do such a thing. He is just doing errands. Only you, loyal to me No two, and unparalleled bravery!"

After prescribing the medicine, Shi Zhongtang got up.

"Take good care of your wounds. Since you are a brother, it will be your whole life!"

"it is good!"

Tao Song clenched his fists, "Even if it is a sea of ​​swords and swords, I will pull the dog emperor from the throne and let the Duke be a master!"

"Bullshit!" Shi Zhongtang laughed and said, "It's our brothers who are masters together!"

In Songzhou, when the rebels arrived at the city, the defenders at the top of the city trembled.

"Huangzhou resisted the drama and was massacred."

"What shall we do?"

Shi Zhongtang pointed at the top of the city, "Siege the city!"

The siege battle lasted only two days, and the defenders in the city, who had not experienced war for many years, collapsed.

The flagpole at the head of the city was cut off, and the flag fluttered down the city.A large flag on the side of the Qing emperor and a stone flag fluttered high.

Shi Zhongtang rode his horse to the foot of the city, looked up at the banner, and said softly, "This is just the beginning."

He raised his hand.

The soldiers at the top of the city cheered, "The Duke is mighty!"

The cheers made the last resisting defenders in the city put down their weapons and kneel down in begging for surrender.

The defenders looked blankly at the excited rebels, not knowing why.

Isn't it prosperous?
How could anyone rebel?
For a long time, the wars in the Tang Dynasty only took place in the northern and southern borders, where peace was achieved through singing and dancing.

After many years of peace.

The price is Wen Tian Wu Xi.

"Long live!"

A group of alien rebels cheered for Shi Zhongtang.

Shi Zhongtang smiled slightly and rode his horse into the city.

"Wan Sheng!"

Along the way, countless rebels lined the road to welcome them.

Welcome the new ruler of Songzhou.

The southern Xinjiang Jiedushi of the Tang Dynasty, Shang Guogong Shi Zhongtang.

In October of the 14th year of Dagan, Songzhou, broken!
