Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 790 Gaochang honeydew melon is fragrant and sweet

If you want Yao Yuanfu to practice benevolence and justice and stabilize the place, although he is relatively wise and courageous among the traditional warriors in the Central Plains, he may not be able to do this kind of thing well.

But if you want to talk about how to use great terror to subdue people's hearts, and only a few hundred people can hold a city from top to bottom, that's all they know.

To put it bluntly, Yao Yuanfu and the hundreds of tooth soldiers he brought are not good people. Apart from not eating people, there are few other bad things. They have never done it, and he knows how to do it. .

Therefore, under Guo Guangcheng's worried eyes, Yao Yuanfu did not let his soldiers relax at all.

Starting from the south gate, they chased the white wolf army and killed them indiscriminately, and they didn't kill them mindlessly, but drove them consciously, and didn't kill them all at once.

This has an advantage, that is, after the psychological defense line of the defeated soldiers of the White Wolf Army is defeated, they will instinctively run towards places they are familiar with, and often even run to the place where their family members live in an attempt to hide.

This kind of tactic of chasing and ransacking the opponent's family at once has been figured out by the tooth soldiers during the 200 years of war in the Central Plains.

Historically, in the Central Plains, except for the bastards like Qin Zongquan and Sun Ru, or after the population of the Central Plains has dropped to a terrible level, there are very few people who engage in massacres unless there is a war to destroy the country.

To lay down a place, just kill the entire family of the soldiers and generals on the opposite side, and the rest will be reserved for the soldiers to farm and create wealth.

So this completely crushing battle dragged on for a very long time. Yao Yuanfu and others entered from the south gate and directly killed through the entire Suiye City, until they killed a strong man like Bai Zhuer, they felt a little hypoglycemic I just stopped.

But at this time, in the entire Suiye City, no one dared to stand up.

In this kind of alien land, the people are more knowledgeable than those in the Central Plains. They knelt on both sides of the road with their families, trembling, waiting for the end to come, praying that the soldiers would show mercy when they were tired of killing. Heart.

Of course, it was useless for them to run away. When Yao Yuanfu and Guo Guangcheng led people to kill everywhere, Chi Tian and Guo Tianfang had already organized the coolies outside the city.

Most of these coolies are unwilling to be Hu'ers with Guo Guangyi, or they are dissatisfied with Guo Guangyi's rule.

Many of them were even the Guo family and the herdsmen of the Gray Wolf Department where Chi Tian belonged. They organized them and quickly blocked the other three gates of Suiye City.

Guo Guangjie had woken up a long time ago, but he didn't dare to move, until a strong man gnawed on a big lamb leg picked him up, and Guo Guangjie, who had lost half of his teeth, howled desperately. Not half-satisfied either.

Guo Guangcheng walked over dragging a sledgehammer, he was so angry that he wanted to smash Guo Guangjie to death with a hammer.

Yao Yuanfu smiled and stopped this Guo Erlang. He nodded at Bai Zhuer, and a cruel sneer immediately appeared on Bai Zhuer's face.

Guo Guangjie saw thick wooden sticks that had been sharpened one after another. Above the wooden sticks was a frame specially designed to fix people, and a large stone was placed on top of the frame.

Those Guo family members who were tortured enough when they built the sub-city were anointing the sharpened wooden stick with oil.

Guo Guangjie suddenly felt a tingling pain from the chrysanthemum, and he struggled in fear, but was grabbed by the white pig's throat and lifted into the air like a goose. Guo Guangjie immediately only had a purple face and shaking hands and feet.

Yao Yuanfu chuckled, and the dental soldiers around him also burst into laughter.

When they were in the Central Plains, the military laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty were still a little stricter, which made the soldiers feel that they were in the Western Regions thousands of miles away, as if they had returned home.

"Come on, please put a little oil on the back door of this brother who doesn't know Mount Tai, who doesn't know what a kingdom is, and who is willing to abandon his ancestors to be a Hu'er. It will be considered a kindness of a certain family!"

Yao Yuanfu deliberately put on a look of compassion, and the laughter grew louder.

The white pig also threw it away in disgust, and Guo Guangjie stared in horror, and collapsed on the ground, dripping with feces and urine.

Because he knew what it was, the sharpened wooden stick was still oiled so that it could be inserted into his valley smoothly.

The frame that can fix a person is to prevent him from being stabbed to death in one fell swoop.

The big stone on the shelf is to ensure that the shelf will slowly fall a little bit every moment.

"Brother, you can rest assured, this kind of thing usually takes four or five days to completely string you on it.

And in order for my brother to enjoy it, a certain family will feed you honey milk every day to maintain physical strength, otherwise it will be boring if you can't cry. "

Yao Yuanfu showed an inhuman smile on his face, and then said to Luo (Li) Ye Chuan: "A certain family heard from Zhao Siwan in the past that the highest level of this thing can make wooden points come out of the mouth, but the victim has not completely After death, the eyeballs can still move.

You give Yeye a good look, within four days, if someone dies, you just committed a serious crime of disobedience, and you will be punished together! "

In fact, Luo Yechuan didn't make any big mistakes, but Yao Yuanfu needed to strengthen his authority at this moment, before a bigger storm came, so Luo Yechuan unfortunately ran into the fire.

As for what the bigger storm is, does it need to be said?
After Yao Yuanfu took down Suiye City, Guo Guangyi would definitely fight back violently in order not to fail completely.

Yao Yuanfu had already seen what the traitor was playing.Guo Guangyi wanted to turn Suiye City into an iron felt under the condition of strong walls and clear fields, and he himself led the elite as hammers, hammering the exhausted imperial army to death directly under Suiye City.

But now that Suiye was taken back by his own surprise attack, if Guo Guangyi didn't take back Suiye before the snow melted in spring, his time of death would be approaching.

Knowing the opponent's tricks, it is easy to find a countermeasure, but it is also cruel.

Yao Yuanfu found Guo Guangcheng and said seriously: "We brought 2000 people, but Guo Guangyi can at least mobilize another 4 people, twenty times more than us.

Manager Hu will not be able to leave until mid-April, and it will be at least mid-May when we reach Suiye. For these three and a half months, we can only rely on ourselves. "

A look of pain appeared on Guo Guangcheng's face. Although many people in Suiye City couldn't hold on, they were all Guo Guangcheng's closest friends at one time, and they could even be said to be members of his clan.

Yao Yuanfu looked at Guo Guangcheng sympathetically, "Guo Erlang, you really shouldn't have come to Suiye, why bother asking for pain."

Guo Guangcheng shook his head slowly, "Dr. Yao, since Guo Xin led the four townsmen to guard the Western Regions alone, my Guo family has been inseparable from Anxi, Suiye, and Hezhong. Can we keep 2 people?"

There were originally about 14 people in Suiye and its surroundings, but Guo Guangyi moved away 10 people, and then added [-] confidants.

If you exclude the thousands of people who were scattered around Suiye and were beaten as hard laborers, there are still about 3 people in Suiye City.

Yao Yuanfu only brought 2000 people. If you have to guard against the 3 people inside who don’t know if they have ulterior motives, and you have to resist the siege of 4 or [-] people for three and a half months, that is absolutely impossible. , so it is impossible to keep so many people in the city.

But it is also impossible to drive these people out of the city, because they will definitely be used as cannon fodder by Guo Guangyi to attack the city.

So there is only one option left, and that is to dig a hole and bury the matter.

Now Guo Guangyi has 5000 men, women, children, and children stationed in Suiye City. They must be killed, so there are still 5000 people.

Among them, 4000 people are the family members of those who were beaten as hard workers. Naturally, they must be preserved, so the fate of 2000 to [-] people is still uncertain.

Guo Guangcheng asked if it was possible to keep 2 people, that is, he wanted to ask if it was possible to kill only 5000 people and keep [-] residents and [-] laborers.

But Yao Yuanfu shook his head, there was no difference between only killing 5000 people and not killing them. He said coldly: "At most 3000 people will be left, of which [-] women and [-] men will be left."

The [-] women left behind can wash and cook, and relieve the anxiety of the city guards. If Huguang's army can't arrive in mid-May and the food is exhausted, it will be even better.

With 2000 men plus 9000 hard laborers, plus [-] people who followed, there are [-] people who can defend the city.

Suiye City just happened to be renovated by Guo Guangyi, so if the sub-city is not repaired, they don't need it, and just guard Luo City. Anyway, if both cities are guarded, there are not enough manpower.

Guo Guangchang sighed, he believed that Yao Yuanfu was not trying to embarrass him deliberately, but was calculated accurately.

These old teeth soldiers, this set of things, are extremely proficient in playing, and there will not be many mistakes and discrepancies.

. . .

In the fourth year of Shaoming, on February [-]th, Yao Yuanfu and Guo Guangcheng led [-] warriors to cross the Boda Ridge, then raided and recovered Suiye City.

Then Yao Yuanfu tortured Guo Guangyi's younger brother Guo Guangjie, his confidant general Aqsa and more than 2000 soldiers by sitting on a wooden donkey.

Among them, Guo Guangjie wailed for three full days before he died. It is said that even the viscera were ejected from his mouth in the end.

On February [-]th, Yao Yuanfu smoked three times and killed more than [-] people in Suiye City. He dug more than a dozen deep pits for burying people. The title of Medicine Yama.

. . . .

Hu Guang just came out of King Jin's Palace in Shule City, and he scratched his head a little irritatedly.

How does this cousin of the emperor, the eldest son of King Dajin Li Congde say, there are really two brushes in governing the local area, stabilizing the people, resuming production, and building water conservancy.

But when he recited the Buddha, he made himself a little foolish, and he was full of words to reduce the number of murders, so he couldn't use the power of the people too much.

Let him pull tens of thousands of strong men to cross the Zhenzhu River with the army, all of them looked sympathetic and painful.

Because Li Congde thought it would be extremely difficult to climb the Tianshan Mountains and cross the Zhenzhu River in mid-March. This is not to ask him to recruit [-] civilians to help deliver food and grass. It is to let these [-] civilians die. Go warm again.

I heard that this Prince Wang has been studying Buddhism in Dunhuang for a long time. Which eminent monk taught this? Not only did he teach a lot of pedantic Buddhism, but he also mixed a lot of Taoist Huang-Lao ideas, and he taught a Such a freak.

It’s just that Huguang didn’t know that in history, this king’s son, the fifth king after the restoration of Khotan, occupied Shule twice during his reign. Counting, and they are all beautiful battles where less wins more.

Thinking about the expansion of the Tianfang Sect at that time, it must have been very intense, otherwise people like Li Congde would not have been forced to conquest several times.

"How long will the king be able to reach Shule?" Hu Guang suddenly stopped and asked Guo Guangsheng beside him.

Guo Guangsheng quickly took out the small notebook in his hand, and after reading it, he suddenly smiled wryly.

"The report arrived five days ago. The king and princess just arrived in Gaochang. The princess heard that the honeydew melon flavor in Gaochang is unparalleled in the world. It seems that she intends to wait until the middle of May to eat fresh honeydew before leaving for Shule."

Hu Guang closed his eyes in pain, does this f*ck King of Jin Palace belong to you two father and son?There is going to be a war soon, can you stop being so casual!
From Gaochang to Shule, it is nearly three thousand miles away, and it takes two months to walk fifty miles a day.

When they came back after eating melons in mid-May, it would be mid-July, and Yao Yuanfu and Guo Guangcheng would have been beaten to death long ago.

And obviously you can take advantage of the spring to take the south road to quickly cross the desert and come back, but you have to take the north road and visit the mountains and rivers all the way.

Hu Guang is in a hurry!Although he is the general manager of Zhengxi, he only has military power and no civil power in his hands.

His greatest power is the edict that Zhang Tie allowed him to conscript [-] soldiers in the North Court of Anxi, and the rest of the food, grass, and civilian husbands must be supplied by Anxi and the North Court.

While Anxi Province is said to be a province, in fact the administration is still dominated by the King's Mansion of the Kingdom of Jin.

After all, this is the family property of Yuchi's family for thousands of years. Now that Kennatu is dedicated to the imperial court, it is considered good. How can the provincial yamen really replace the original Khotan Jin Kingdom.

Hu Guang was very anxious. Although he had confidence in Yao Yuanfu and Guo Guangcheng, he was not only afraid of the eventuality. He could go as soon as possible, but he had to go as soon as possible.

Even when Li Congde thought it was the end of April, Hu Guang didn't think it would work.

However, Guo Guangsheng on the side had a bit of recollection, he blinked twice, "Your Majesty was in Anxi in the past, and he was considered a well-known emperor, so at this critical time, he should not be ignorant of the importance.

When I was in Zhongyuan, I heard a privy envoy say that His Royal Highness did not want to go back to Anxi, but wanted to live in the Central Plains with Cao, the eldest princess of Wei, but the emperor disagreed.

Could it be that the king still wants to go back to the Central Plains in his heart, and deliberately ignores things? "

It has to be said that Guo Guangsheng is not good at leading the army in battle, and he is good at handling logistics and analyzing and planning. He guessed Li Shengtian's thoughts all over the place.

The king of Yuchi's family in Khotan seems to be a bit of a Tang Dynasty.

After Li Shengtian arrived in the Central Plains, he saw the beautiful rivers and mountains in his dream. He ate delicacies from mountains and seas, wore Shu brocade and Suzhou embroidery, made friends with literati and scholars, and sang poems with great joy.

Especially after he heard that Brother Li Jing offered soil, his heart itched even more.

Because in the Southern Tang Dynasty, the brothers Li Jing and Li Jingsui, Han Xizai, Xu Xuan, and Xu Xuan's younger brother Xu Kai are all well-known in the world, have real talents and real knowledge of poetry and literature, and have the style of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. How can Li Shengtian, who loves literature, be willing? Walk.

Not to mention, Li Shengtian's elder sister, Empress Dowager Ciyou, is also in Tokyo. After this farewell, the siblings don't know if they will be able to meet again.

Cao Yuanxin is similar, she is in the Central Plains, she has the same prestige for a while, because she can be a concubine who is very kind to Shao Tianzi, a cousin, or the queen's aunt, Cao's brothers and nephews are also in the Central Plains .

During more than a year in the Central Plains, she became obsessed with polo, mahjong, etc., and she was so happy to play in Khotan. No.

If you really like playing polo and mahjong, it will be very, very painful if you don't have a teammate or opponent who can really play with you quite seriously.

More importantly, this couple, who can be said to have done their best to support the most important part of Zhang Tie's life, knew what Zhang Tie was.

Li Shengtian believes that if he continues to help Zhang Erlang manage Anxi well, he will never return to the Central Plains in his life, and will definitely be thrown to Samarkand to become a foreign king.

Well!Is it a good thing or a bad thing to go to a good place like Samarkand to be king?

For most people, it is not an exaggeration to say that this is the end of the struggle, but for Li Shengtian and his wife, it is no different from exile.

Of course, due to their identities, they certainly cannot openly oppose Zhang Yu's policy of Xia Jun Yi Min, but they can non-violently non-cooperative!

So the two male and female hit it off and let it go!Before leaving Liangzhou, the couple had already laid flat.

Hu Guang is also a smart person, after hearing Guo Guangsheng's analysis, he blinked his eyes twice, thinking about it.

Indeed, the King of Jin and the eldest princess of Wei are just showing off negatively.

And it's good for them to open up, one is to open up, but the succession of the Kingdom of Jin will not disappear, and there are Wang Shizi Li Congde, Yanqi Marquis Li Congyu waiting.

The second is to return to the Central Plains as soon as possible.

As for the two of them, Li Congde, the son of the prince who was acting as the acting state affairs in Shule, also began to be timid.

Because if Li Shengtian got his way, Li Congde would still do everything in the Western Regions and hold all the power.

What has become of this?I want it for the sake of face (referring to Li Shengtian and his wife returning to the Central Plains to enjoy themselves), and the real benefits of lizi (referring to Li Congde representing the Li family in Khotan and continuing to hold the power in Anxi.)
That must be disgusted by the saint!
Good guy, it's not that Wang Shizi is pedantic, it's precisely because he understands too well, so he hurriedly put aside the relationship, and he deliberately didn't care about things.

No wonder Li Congde never left his father when he was talking to him just now. It turned out that he was reminding Hu Guang, but Hu Guang didn't notice.

"Phew!" General Hu and Chief Tiger breathed a sigh of relief. Political matters don't matter how difficult he is, but whether he can find the key point. As long as he can find the key point, it will be easy to handle.

Now in Anxi, the provincial yamen has not started to operate at all, it is only the highest political institution in name, and it is the King's Mansion of the Kingdom of Jin that actually operates the thousands of miles of land.

Hu Guang looked at Guo Guangsheng and said: "Since this is the case, a certain family can only write to the king of the Jin Kingdom, requesting to temporarily take over the military and political power of the Jin Kingdom, and become the long history of the overlord of the Jin Kingdom.

This matter is of great importance, I am afraid that Da Lang will have to go there himself. "

Guo Guangsheng immediately crossed his hands in response, "Don't worry, the manager, I will immediately choose a thousand-mile horse to set off, and within twenty days, I will definitely invite the King of Jin to come here."

Hu Guang patted Guo Guangsheng's shoulder heavily. It was about [-] to [-] miles for a trip, and if he came back within [-] days, he would have to run [-] or [-] miles a day at least.

But what can Guo Guangsheng do? His younger brother and a group of clan members are still in the broken leaf, so they have to risk their lives to do it.
