Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 332 Raising People, Going to Qianzhou

There was no rooster crowing for thousands of miles, and the corpses were exposed in the wild. Sure enough, from Jingzhou down, the situation was getting worse and worse.

In the fields that should be full of spring wheat, the immature wheat has been cut away in advance.

The rice fields were in a mess, apparently not harvested by farmers, but harvested by rebel soldiers to feed cattle and horses as green fodder.

Going down the river, the surrounding fields are like ghosts, except for the tens of thousands of Guiyi soldiers, no one is seen along the way.

When he arrived at Binzhou City, with Zhang Zhao's current state of mind, he couldn't bear to enter the city anymore.

The entire city was dead silent, and on the way into the city, countless civilians with simple packages on their backs laid their corpses on the road.

Crows are flying in the sky, and the wild dogs and wolves eating on the ground have red eyes, they are no longer afraid of people, and even dare to bark at people.

With a piece of meat in the corner of its mouth, the crow that was pecking raised its head occasionally. It squatted on the top of the city, looking at these outsiders, with eyes that made people feel a little careless.

Two wild dogs ran out of the city gate tearing a relatively intact thigh, snarling and threatening each other while running.

"Good beast!" Murong Xinchang, who was extremely angry, picked up his bow and set up an arrow, and the two arrows shot out like shooting stars. The two wild dogs were shot in the head, and they were killed almost at the same time.

Bai Congxin also took out a few arrows from Hu Lu and aimed at the crows, and the few careless crows at the top of the city fell in response.

But no one cheered and admired, everyone was immersed in a kind of sadness that harmed others.

"Let's continue to clean up the corpses today! We won't go to Binzhou City, Tiance, you have people wear protective belts and put tung oil on them, and burn them directly."

Zhang Zhao numbly gave the order, the Guiyi Army did not move fast, because corpses were being buried along the way.

Not only was it buried, but a sign was erected, stating how many corpses, the number of men, women, and children, and where they were found.

In the end, we have to chant the scriptures for salvation. This way, almost all of them have been spent in this way.
However, Zhang Zhao still took some precautions. With the medical level of this era, if he is really infected with the disease, the effect of the medicine is still relatively limited.

So he drew hundreds of people from the party items in Yuanzhou and Huizhou, and asked the United soldiers and civilian husbands in Weizhou to also draw 30 people by lottery to be responsible for burying the corpses.

The corpse collection team ate, drank and rested separately from the main army in order to avoid infection.

These things are actually very troublesome, and they don't meet the requirements of the high speed of soldiers, but apart from Zhang Zhao's unbearable heart, this is actually a very good way to rally people's morale.

People are creatures that are very affected by the surrounding environment. If they are in a chaotic army like He Chuan, even good people will become cruel and bloodthirsty demons if they are ensnared in it for a long time.

In the atmosphere of the Guiyi Army, all the good and righteous things were done along the way, and subtly, it was also injecting soul into this army.

At least until now, everyone feels that as a soldier, they must not be such a beast as this rebellion.

From top to bottom, the Guiyi army also hated and hated the rebellious soldiers. Zhang Zhao believed that if the rebellious army appeared in front of them now, without Zhang Zhao's mobilization, the soldiers would definitely pounce on them. Kill it clean.

While the soldiers were fighting against each other, Zhang Zhao's personal image also stood up.

It is not enough to have benevolence in the army, because in this era, apart from those who were recruited by force, how many good men can there be?Basically thorns.

Just talking about benevolence and righteousness will definitely be despised by generals, so power and prestige are also needed.

But Zhang Zhao is not lacking in power and prestige, so adding benevolence and righteousness now is like adding wings to a tiger.

No matter how stabbed they are, I also hope that Shangguan can not only lead them to win battles, seize a lot of gold and silver goods, and bestow a lot of rewards, but also be kind and righteous, so that they can follow with confidence and not worry about being hacked or betrayed.

Finally, it was due to Zhang Zhao's concern. From the end of Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties, it was common for warriors to subdue their superiors and coerce rebellion.

Originally, the rebel army was alone in Guasha, so they didn't get this temper, but now that they return to the country, it's hard to guarantee that they won't follow suit.

Zhang Zhao now understands Zhaolie Emperor Liu Bei a little bit. Liu Xuande started from humble beginnings. In order to gain capital in the troubled times, he could only rely on benevolence and righteousness.

Zhang Zhao is the same now, if he wants to walk a different path from the Five Dynasties, he can only go against the five generations of warriors.

Although those warriors who are accustomed to cruelty will think that his brain is broken and will not regard Zhang Zhao as a person, but it can separate Zhang Zhao's Guiyi army from the evil deeds of the five generations of warriors.

After people have solved the problem of food and clothing, they generally still need to pursue spiritual pursuits, even if they are warriors who carry knives and slash people.

Therefore, the founding warriors of all dynasties in Chinese history also like to say that they followed a certain emperor to destroy a certain tyrant and help the world.

Zhang Zhao designed this path of spiritual pursuit for the Guiyi army, from returning to the country with loyalty, to punishing the people and punishing crimes, and finally to seeking peace for the whole world.

He wants to make these three appeals into the appeal of all Guiyi Army.

And after showing benevolence and righteousness along the way, Zhang Zhao led these soldiers for thousands of miles, so far, even the Gyeongju Dangxiang Li Yanli's Department and Wonju Dangxiang Li Zhongchao's Department can be entrusted with important tasks at this moment.

Since there is no need to clean up the remains of Binzhou City, but to burn them with fire, things are much simpler.

Zhang Zhao only needed to send soldiers to restrain the people around Chidao who wanted to escape from the city but were chased and killed, and then dug a big hole and burned it directly.

Guo Tiance found a large wooden board, and Zhang Zhao took out a short knife, and engraved "Tomb of the victims of Binzhou City in the year of Dingyou" word by word! '

The whole army was silent for a moment, and far away from the joint tomb, they sang the "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Fundamental Vow Sutra" once, which was regarded as a salvation.

. . . .

Since Binzhou has become a dead city, and Zhang Zhao ordered it to be set on fire, it has no choice but to stop here and continue going south. At this time, there are two roads from Binzhou to Chang'an.

If you go to the left, you will continue to follow Jinghe River down, pass Ganquan Mountain to Jingyang, and then go to Chang'an.

The right side does not take the waterway, but passes through Mating to Dahengguan and then to Qianzhou, and finally passes through Xianyang to Chang'an.

Zhang Zhao thought about which way to go as he walked, but the army had only passed Binzhou for a few miles, and Murong Xinchang and Li Cunhui, who were exploring the way ahead, met the rebels' exploring horses.

In fact, this was not Tanma, but the town general Sun Xiaoguo sent out to intercept and kill Weizhou Tanma's ranger.

They waited here for a long time but did not see the fast horse coming from Weizhou. Instead, they were touched by the scout horse of the Guiyi Army.

In the jungle beside the Chi Road, seven or eight soldiers from the Zhangyi Army were getting some water, boiling it to soak the very dry and hard coarse grain cakes.

A captain with a long scar on his face spat bitterly and shook uncomfortably a few times.

"Sun Xiaoguo is a thief slave. The last time I wanted my daughter-in-law, I refused to give it to him, even if I killed him!

If this dog slave is good, he will do it by himself, and others can't even drink soup. One day, I will get mad, and I will shoot him an arrow in the battle to finish this dog slave! "

"Scarlet Sun, I've heard you say it at least five times, and I haven't seen you make a move.

You think that Sun Xiaoguo doesn't know if you are dissatisfied or what?They just knew you were dissatisfied, they wanted your mistress on purpose, and even sent you here to eat dry biscuits, while the rest of the people slept with their mistresses in Qianzhou. "

The team deputy around curled his lips in dissatisfaction, "If you have the guts, we'll find a chance to be him. If you don't have the guts, we'll just vote for Zhou Hu'er, General Zhou Shi, to save time and money." Bad luck with you."

When the captain's deputy said this, the surrounding soldiers nodded in agreement, and there was something wrong with the eyes of several fierce soldiers looking at the captain's grandson Scar.

Sun Scarzi was silent for a moment, and then he became angry. He also knew that he had to be serious, otherwise his soldiers who killed old people would despise him and would not go with him.

"Don't worry about me, when we go back to fight Chang'an this time, we must have made him Sun Xiaoguo. When the time comes, let's go back to Qianzhou, rob their gold and silver treasures, go to Liangshan to have a good time, and wait for the imperial court to come to Jieshuai, and then go down to seek refuge. "

The team deputy and several soldiers glanced at each other quietly, and then nodded with some satisfaction.

However, Sun Scarzi's expression froze after he had just finished speaking, because he heard a few slight sounds of trampling on the branches.

Sun Scarzi turned his head slightly, and looked at a thin horse tethered in the distance.

The skinny horse was still gnawing on the tender grass on the ground leisurely. It was obvious that it wasn't a ferocious beast. If it was a ferocious beast, the horse would definitely be panic-stricken.

'Boom! A very small voice came, it was the sound of a bow and arrow shooting, Sun Scarzi quickly rolled the gourd one by one, and went out for a long time in an instant.

The captain's deputy, who moved a step slower than him, was about to stand up when an arrow hit the door directly. The captain screamed, covered his face and rolled on the ground.

At this moment, the crackling sound of feet stepping on branches could be heard everywhere. After standing up, Scarlet Sun took off the leather armor that was still on his body, turned around and ran towards the skinny horse, ignoring the sight behind him. The roars and fighting sounds of soldiers.

'Boom! There was another sound of bowing, and Scar Sun quickly lowered his head, but the arrow was not aimed at him, but at the skinny horse, which Scar Sun hoped to ride to escape.

The thin horse was hit by an arrow in the neck, and immediately jumped three feet high, but kept pulling the reins tied to the tree, screaming in pain.

Just as Sun Scarzi was about to move, another arrow suddenly pierced into the grass in front of him, sending a trace of grass stalks flying.

"Tie it up! Take it back!"

Scarred Sun raised his head and looked around, only to see a dozen strong men in black night clothes flashing out from everywhere.

The one who spoke was an extremely young general holding a hard bow and looking at him indifferently.

. . . .

"The rebels have already set off from Qianzhou. According to what the scarfaced team just said, their plan is to go straight to Chang'an. Now they may have reached the outside of Xianyang City, or the Xiwei Bridge." Yan Jin clicked on the map point, said with some concern.

Chang'an itself is actually an undefended city, covering a large area. In the past few decades, the city defenses have been damaged everywhere, and it is impossible to defend.

What they rely on is nothing more than the surrounding satellite cities and a few key bridgeheads and ferries. If these places are lost, Chang'an will be finished.

But Bai Congxin had a different opinion. He pointed to Huazhou and other places in the east of the map.

"However, the Jinchang Army Jiedu envoy appointed by the imperial court and Jing Zhaoyin has not arrived at all, and the rebel army has been tempted to loot Chang'an, and their morale is high!
There are no fewer than [-] of them, about the same number as me, forty percent of them are soldiers from the Zhangyi Army and the Jingnan Army. If we chase after them, we may be backlashed! "

Zhang Zhao knew what Bai Congxin meant, and he chased him too quickly, so he could easily become the primary target of the rebels.

The safest way is to continue down the Jinghe River and meet An Shenqi, the governor of the Jinchang Army, and Zhao Zan, the governor of the Huazhou Township, in Jingyang. Run credit.

But Zhang Zhao hadn't made a statement yet, and Murong Xinchang, who had just grabbed Scarlet Sun and waited for his tongue to come back, shook his head first.

"We were ordered by the imperial court to enter the pass to hunt for thieves, and we are known as loyal teachers. If we shrink back and forth, everyone will look down upon us.

And what if An Shenqi used his angel status to overwhelm me and let me be the main attacker if we depended on others for supplies in Jingyang? "

"Yes! Why don't we take it by surprise, break through the Daheng Pass, and seize Qianzhou, so that the advance and retreat are all under our own control.

Approaching the rebels is not about to engage them immediately. We can hang behind them and make them feel like a thorn in our backs.

Our army's tens of thousands of horses come and go like the wind. He wants to fight, but I don't fight. He wants to go, but we chase after him. When his veterans are tired, they may win in one battle! "

Fanshun thought for a while, and agreed with Murong Nobunaga's opinion.

"Sikong, and there is an advantage for us to go to Qianzhou to attack the rebels!" Zhebu Jiashi chuckled.

"The rebel army plundered several states, and the wealth and goods will be abundant. After we harass them, the gold and silver goods will not all belong to us.

If we can defeat them, the armor and weapons will probably be more than what I have produced in several years in Hexi! "

right!How can I forget this, the rebels are rich now!Zhang Zhao coughed.

"Tomorrow, the captured bandits will kill the flag, and I will take the right path and go straight to Qianzhou!"
