The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 161 The Tragedy of Wuzhou
But that night, Qin Han finally left the camp of the Song army and disappeared.

After Liu Zijun came back, he said to Wen Tianxiang, "I failed to keep him under the military order."

Wen Tianxiang sighed softly, "It seems that Qin Han really has a grudge against the emperor."

Liu Zijun hesitated and said again: "That's not necessarily the case, he said, when the court needs him, he will naturally come back."

Wen Tianxiang frowned slightly, and said: "He has righteousness in his heart, but the emperor may not be willing to accept him... The emperor is a benevolent monarch, Qin Han is good at fighting, but he is too unscrupulous. Alas, it is a pity that his full of talent has learned .”

Liu Zijun stopped talking, and his face was full of sighs.

If the emperor's heart had been hardened, or Qin Han's methods hadn't been so vicious, the two of them would not have gotten into such a fight, it was fate.

Wen Tianxiang looked at Yue Peng, Su Quandang and the others, and said, "General Yue and General Su have just gone through a bloody battle, go and rest first, Du Hu, Zijun, you two will follow me to clean the battlefield."

Torches were soon lit on the plain.

That night, thousands of Song army corpses and thousands of Yuan army corpses were piled up.

Both sides suffered heavy casualties. Ma Jun, the bodyguard of the Song Dynasty, and Ma Jun, the imperial guard in front of the palace, almost survived in name only. Zhang Xi, Marquis of Yu, the capital of the palace, was beheaded in his right arm and became disabled. among.Only Yue Peng and a few soldiers remained in the guard horse army.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Dongting got out of the chariot, went to the place where the corpses were piled up, and personally set fire to burn the corpses.

Tens of thousands of corpses were piled up, poured with kerosene, and the flames soared into the sky, crackling.

Countless soldiers surrounded him, watching quietly and weeping silently.Among them, there are their brothers and their friends.

The whole world seemed to be silent.

Not long after, the Yuan army really left the city as Qin Han expected.

The banner of the Yuan army on the city head was gradually withdrawn.

With a dark face and suppressing his great anger, Kong Yuan led the remaining soldiers of the Yuan army out of the city through the east gate.

Think back when he led [-] soldiers to attack the city, but now, there are less than [-] people who followed him out of the city.

In addition to the more than [-] people who were lost in the previous siege, there were more than [-] soldiers who died of poisoning after drinking the well water in the city.

It never occurred to him that Song Jun would poison the well water in such a way of utterly devoid of conscience.Because this method is really against the peace.By the time it is discovered that something is wrong with the soldiers, it will be too late.

The well water in Wuzhou City did not know how long it would take to fully dilute the dove poison, and it was obviously impossible for him to continue to garrison in Wuzhou City.

The army is tens of thousands of people, with food and water, and it will not last for a long time.It's better to retreat earlier and find another opportunity to fight the Song army.

Wuzhou was very important to the Song Dynasty, but it was not that important to them in the Yuan Dynasty, and there was no need to stick to it.Without Wuzhou, they can also attack the Song Dynasty from other places and take Leizhou directly.

What really made him angry was the more than [-] soldiers who were poisoned to death by dove poison.

That's more than 3 elite soldiers!
Swinging [-] troops, he failed to save Ali Haiya, but lost more than [-]. Kong Yuan's expedition this time was naturally defeated.

Such a large loss may even affect the situation in the entire South.

After they left, the Song Army marched towards Wuzhou City in mighty force.

Zhao Dongting's chariot stopped at the foot of Wuzhou city.

A few meters away in front of the chariot was a corpse lying in an extremely twisted posture.

It's Wanyan Zhang.

Perhaps all his bones were broken, and his hands and feet were all bent.The helmet fell a few meters away, and even the head was smashed.

Zhao Dongting stepped out of the chariot, saw Wanyanzhang's body, his face turned even paler, he was silent for a long time, and told Zhao Da: "Take care of General Wanyan's body."

Although Wan Yanzhang's surrender to the Song Dynasty was not long, he led the Jurchen soldiers to fight Wuzhou in a bloody battle and blocked the 10 yuan army for several days, which is worthy of everyone's admiration.

Zhao Da led the soldiers to go.

It wasn't until the Wu Zuo in the army came up and carried Wanyanzhang's body down that Zhao Dongting returned to the chariot and continued to go to Wuzhou City.

As soon as I entered the city, I saw corpses all over the street, including Yuan army, Song army, and common people.

These corpses are lying in disorder on the street.

Before Kong Yuan left the city, he didn't even have the mood to clean up these corpses.

The whole city of Wuzhou was really reduced to death.When I looked up, there was no living thing.

Even when Murong Chuan slaughtered Suixi County in Leizhou, it was not so miserable.

And this was all caused by Qin Han's poisoning.

When he took Wuzhou, the city could be completely turned into a dead city.Even the soldiers who were used to seeing bloody scenes couldn't help but be taken by the scene in the city.

In addition to the human corpses on the streets, there are also a lot of rats, wild cats and other animal corpses, all of which are dead.

The dove poison caused these humans and animals to die extremely miserable, with red eyes and black bodies.

Zhao Dongting has issued a strict order that all soldiers are not allowed to drink the water in the city. If they want to drink water, they need to get water from the Xunjiang River outside the city.In fact, he didn't need to order at all. Seeing the death of these people and animals in the city, I'm afraid they didn't dare to drink the water in the city anymore.

The chariot stopped naturally.

The soldiers all looked at the corpses on the street with extremely horrified eyes, and the air was filled with a thick sense of death.

Zhao Dongting lifted the curtain of the car slightly, and closed his eyes slightly when he saw this tragic scene.

Then, he ordered: "The chariots stop here, let the soldiers pile up all the corpses in the city and burn them!"

He didn't want to go to the city anymore, he was afraid that he would not be able to bear to see a more miserable scene.

On this day, it took more than half a day for the remaining 4 soldiers of the Song Army to clean up the corpses in the city.

There are very few surviving people in the city, less than a hundred people, and even dozens of them have gone mad with fright.

More than four thousand people were killed by dove poison.The chariots were piled full of corpses and sent out of the city.

The armor and weapons of the soldiers were collected and piled up at the gate of the city.

Zhao Dongting finally passed through Wuzhou City and went to the east gate of the city.

There was already a rotten smell in the air.

The corpses of countless Jurchen soldiers and soldiers of the Yuan army lay in disorder on the city wall, overlapping each other.

Some soldiers couldn't take it anymore when they saw the horror on the city wall, and they vomited.

There was hardly any blood on Zhao Dongting's face. After a long silence, he said, "Clean up all the remains of the soldiers of the Anti-Yuan Army."

Zhao Da went down to pass the order, and soon many soldiers rushed to the top of the city, and piled up the corpses of Jurchen soldiers, soldiers of the Yuan army, and common people on the top of the city.

And under the city, there are densely packed corpses.

Soldiers also came to report that there were also many corpses floating on the river at the other end of the water village.

It was not until dusk that the corpses were completely cleaned up.

In just five days, more than 8 people died inside and outside the city of Wuzhou.

In this era of scarce population, even most counties do not have such a large population.

Wan Yanzhang led his Jurchen soldiers to draw a brilliant end to their lives.The Wuzhou city battle is bound to spread throughout the world.

Zhao Dongting led all the soldiers to sacrifice to heaven at the head of the city, and personally set the bodies of the Jurchen soldiers on fire.When the corpses were all burned to ashes, he sprinkled Wanyanzhang's ashes on the top of the city with his own hands, "From now on, Wuzhou City will be renamed Jurchen City. I swear here that if the Great Song Dynasty is not destroyed, Jurchen will finally have a glorious time." .”

He said the latter sentence to the soldiers behind him, and he also said it to the dead soldiers of the Jurchen who were still wandering around the city of Wuzhou.

This is Wan Yanzhang's promise in exchange for the lives of himself and nearly [-] Jurchen soldiers.

Zhao Dongting didn't know whether his tetanus could be cured, so what he said was that the Southern Song Dynasty was immortal, not that he was immortal.

The Song Dynasty historian who accompanied him quickly recorded Zhao Dongting's words in his notebook.

"In the fourth year of Jingyan, the anti-Yuan general Wan Yanzhang led nearly [-] Jurchen soldiers to resist the Yuan army, and all of them died in Wuzhou City. The emperor said that Wuzhou City will be renamed Jurchen City today. If the Song Dynasty is not destroyed, Jurchen will..."

The night was getting dark, and the flames of the cremation of the corpses were gradually extinguished.

Wuzhou City was as quiet as a ghost town, except for the barracks, there was almost no light at all.

Zhao Dongting was also in the barracks, and suddenly announced Wen Tianxiang, Yue Peng, Su Quandang and others into the camp.

The incubation period of tetanus is several days for some people, months or even years for some people, but the faster the onset, the more dangerous it is.After his palm was injured, he developed symptoms of dizziness and fatigue in just over four days, which was naturally serious.And after his symptoms appear, life may not be able to last for a long time.

Not to mention the Song Dynasty, it is modern times. Zhao Dongting has also heard of people dying of tetanus.

This is a disease with a very high mortality rate, and even modern medicine cannot guarantee a cure.

As long as the illness is more serious, he may not be far from death at that time.He didn't have time to delay in Wuzhou City any longer.

In this day and age, the thing he doesn't let go of is Le Chan.Even if Baicao Valley can't cure tetanus, if he can go to see Le Chan and say goodbye to her before he dies, it's not a waste of time to travel to the Southern Song Dynasty.
