Chapter 308: Pacifying Qingzhou
The people who fled from the north gate were all killed by the rebels!
"When you come back, is there anyone else at the North City Gate?" asked Yuxiu.
When the little one returned, he saw that the people were scattered. Ah Sheng thought of the situation after leaving the city, his face turned a little pale with fright, he didn't see it with his own eyes, he just heard people say that he was already afraid, "By the way, the little one also heard that there were people running out of the west city gate and the east city gate, and as a result, they were all killed by the rebels." ”
"The rebels still had a few alive and rushed back, and one of them was frightened mad. They left a message at the gate of the city: If you want to live, open the gate and surrender! Otherwise, if you run out, you will die, and if you stay in the city, you will also die. ”
Ah Sheng shuddered, "I heard that Songcheng was killed!"
The news of the massacre of Songcheng seems to have spread in the city.
The Shu army did this to make the people in Runzhou City panic. As long as the people in the city are afraid, even if Fu Yuande doesn't want to surrender, the people will force him to surrender in order to survive.
Yuxiu turned her head and saw a few people in the room, Yudong's face was full of anger, Yushu and Yuliang held hands with each other, their faces were slightly pale.
"Brother, you go to the front yard and discuss it with Qian Chang and them. If Fu Yuande plans to surrender, what are they going to do with General Qi?"
"Okay, Xiuxiu, stay here, don't be afraid. Didn't Qian Chang say that Zhou Shizi would bring reinforcements? Maybe in two days, the reinforcements would arrive. ”
"Well, you can go to the front yard and have a look. "If you can't leave, you have to make plans to stay.
Yuxiu wants to be alone, but the army led by King Teng is not a benevolent and righteous army. If Fu Yuande surrenders, others will forget it, the four of them will not be able to hide in the city like ordinary people. Just because of Hong Tianxi's identity and Yan Jincheng's affairs, they can't hide.
If they don't surrender, King Teng will definitely not be able to spare them. And with Yudong's temperament, King Teng is cruel, and Yudong will definitely not descend.
It is said that Hong Tianxi is the commander of the Shu army, and Songcheng slaughtered the city, does he know? Or does Hong Tianxi disregard people's lives in order to shock people's hearts?
If Runzhou City is broken, how will they survive in the city?
Yuxiu checked left and right in this courtyard, and called a few Liu Wu to come over to discuss how to hide.
Hong Tianxi, who was nagged by Yuxiu, didn't know about the massacre of Songcheng, and naturally he didn't know about the Yan family brothers and sisters being trapped in Runzhou.
After conquering Qingzhou, the defenders in Qingzhou City died and surrendered. The city was also in chaos.
King Teng captured a few defenders, and when he knew that there were only 1,000 defenders in Runzhou and only about 5,000 people in Songcheng, he personally led 30,000 horses to pursue the victory, and let Hong Tianxi stay to rectify the defense of Qingzhou.
Hong Tianxi killed Lu Xin with his own hands, only to feel that the hatred in his heart for many years was vented for most of it. It's a pity that Fu Yuande actually fled, if he could kill Lu Xin and Fu Yuande in one fell swoop when he attacked Qingzhou, wouldn't he have no regrets?
King Teng knew Hong Tianxi's thoughts, "General, don't worry, the head of Fu Yuande in Runzhou, this king will keep it for you." The king will first lead the men over, and then you will lead the army to the march. ”
Hong Tianxi couldn't, so he could only agree.
He restrained the army from invading the people, and posted a notice to reassure the people, so that the people in the city would not panic. Some soldiers rushed into the shops in the city to rob them, and Hong Tianxi did it in public military law, and took out the silver to compensate the store for the loss.
Under his grace and strict orders, on the fourth day, Qingzhou City finally settled down.
He took two pro-soldiers with him, and all three of them changed their ordinary people's decorations and walked around the streets. I saw that the people on the street were no longer in a hurry, and there were shops that were open for business.
Along Qingzhou Street, all the way forward, I walked to the front of the house with "Tang Mansion", and the door was closed and silent.
Hong Tianxi hesitated for a long time and stepped forward to pull the door knocker.
After a long time, an old family member opened the door and saw three people standing at the door, one old and two young, the old one was wearing a blue satin summer shirt, and the two young ones were dressed as entourage, "This gentleman, are you calling the door?"
Hong Tianxi nodded, "Yes, may I ask here, but Tang Hezhang is Mr. Tang's house?"
"It's the Tang Mansion, but my old lady, alas, my old lady is gone. ”
Hong Tianxi asked the two soldiers to wait on the street, took a few steps forward, and asked softly, "What about your eldest lady and eldest young master?"
After Tang Hezhang's death, King Teng sent people to look for Tang Henian's wife and children, and later found out that he had left Shuzhong overnight and left Shuzhong by boat. The night was smooth, and the ship had long been unable to catch up.
Hong Tianxi couldn't help but inquire, hoping that the people arranged by Tang Hezhang would be fine. If they are trapped in Qingzhou, then taking advantage of Qingzhou's own decision, they can also be sent out of the city and go to Mingzhou to find the Yudong brothers and sisters to temporarily avoid the limelight.
As soon as the old family heard Hong Tianxi ask the eldest lady, his face immediately changed, "My eldest lady is in Shuzhong, I don't know ......" and wanted to close the door as he spoke.
"Wait, old man," Hong Tianxi stretched out his hand to hold the door against it, "Qingzhou is not peaceful, if your eldest lady's family is here, I can arrange for them to leave the city for a while." Me and your old lady...... It's an old acquaintance, and I just want to do a little bit. ”
The old family member listened to Hong Tianxi's sincere tone, and looked at his age of sixty years, and couldn't help but tell the truth, "My eldest lady has never come back, and there are only a few old servants in the family. ”
Tang Henian's family didn't come back? Could it be that something happened on the road?
This way from Shanyang County to Qingzhou, he personally led the troops to open the way, and I didn't hear anything on the road.
"Have you heard anything at home?
"I haven't heard of it. Someone's coming...... A few days ago, the old lady's disciple came from Mingzhou, and no outsiders came to the family after that. Sir, are you from outside the city, have you heard from my old lady and the eldest master?"
When Hong Tianxi heard that Tang Hezhang's disciple was coming from Mingzhou again, he didn't care about his words, and hurriedly asked, "Is it surnamed Yan or surnamed Li?"
"It's the second master Yan who was ordered to enter Beijing, Uncle Yan and the two ladies of the Yan family are here, and the old lady has been very happy for a few days. After they left, the old lady went to Shuzhong to find the eldest master. Alas...... Now that King Teng has brought his troops here, I don't know what happened to the old lady and the eldest master. ”
Face!
Hong Tianxi panicked, "When did they come?"
"When...... the old family counted the days, "count the days, and they will go to Runzhou." Sir, have you heard the news of my old lady and eldest master?"
"They...... Oh...... Rather, I haven't heard of anything. "Tang Hezhang's death has not yet been reported. He suddenly didn't want to tell the news of Tang Hezhang's death in person, "Since I'm not here, I'll leave first." ”
Thinking that Yudong might be in Runzhou, Hong Tianxi's heart pinched, how many Dong'er are in Runzhou now, or have they left Runzhou for the capital?
