Chapter 130: Unveiling the Rods (9)
He Suizhao didn't know what to do or what to say for a while, and stood in place with the reins of his horse.
"How long are you going to stay here and see this horrible situation? It is not long to send someone to clean up the mess of this place, and arrange for some people to send Mrs. Changsun back to the city first. Mu Qing said indifferently behind him, the panic and sorrow in his voice disappeared completely, as if she wiped it cleanly together when she raised her sleeve to wipe her tears.
He Suizhao stretched out his hand in front of him, if it weren't for the tear that Fang had just taken on the back of his index finger that had not yet dried, he really wondered if the scene of her mourning and sobbing just now really existed.
He Sui Zhao ordered people to go into the forest to pick up the people, Mu Qing got off the horse, and walked to the outside of the forest, the mess outside the forest is even more instructive not to see, an hour ago was still a scene of soup soup to help the people, hunger and hunger put off the peaceful scene of the return of vitality, just an hour, several porridge cauldrons fell to the ground, and the tent tent had long disappeared.
Before she entered the dense forest, there were the corpses of hungry people lying everywhere on the ground, at least most of them were still whole corpses, more than a thousand iron horsemen had stepped on, and at this moment they saw that the limbs were broken, the brain and marrow burst, and the flesh and blood were blurred with the land.
She stood by the river in a daze, and not far from the side of the river were two large stone mortars placed there steadily, and a sneer slowly climbed up the corners of her lips. But they didn't know that they would still resent each other on the Huangquan Road.
Daddy often teaches that life is very valuable and should not be taken lightly. Daddy must have never seen this miserable Shura field in person. Mu Qingshen exhaled a deep breath of turbidity, only to feel that a layer of hard cold quickly wrapped up outside his heart.
The screams behind her rang out again and again, and she looked back, He Suizhao was personally leading a group of servants out of the forest, and while walking, they drew the corpses on both sides and opened a way. A few timid and cowardly people were no longer able to stand on their own, and another male servant was walking behind him.
The eldest grandson wore a hat, covered his face with soap veil, and covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief in his hand, and walked behind He Suizhao with the support of two servants, barely holding his footsteps. Mu Qing went to the crowd to look for Ah Yue, and glanced around twice before seeing her walking silently behind her head bowed, looking calm, and when she looked up, she saw that her face was covered with tears.
Mu Qing brushed away his heart and went to the team to join everyone. When he came, most of the cars were destroyed, and he barely cobbled together two cars that could sit, and arranged for the ladies and ladies to sit first, and the servants had to accompany them underground. Mu Qing led a horse and was about to turn over and get on the horse, but he saw the eldest grandson poking his head out of the car and instructed the maid, "Please come and sit with Sister Gu."
Mu Qing sat in the car according to his words, silent all the way, and only kept reminding himself that the Hejin rebellion had been quelled, and the remaining more than 1,000 fugitives had been wiped out.
"Sister Gu?" After entering the city, the eldest grandson, who had been silent all the way, seemed to be relieved, and suddenly opened his mouth and asked softly: "Those thieves...... But how did you break them? ”
Mu Qing easily brought out the killing in his heart, and he really didn't want to think of that anymore, because she didn't ask well, so she only wrote lightly: "I was fortunate to see Erlang lead the Xuanjia army to break through the Turkic cavalry, but I was eager to try my best to imitate his method, and then the dead soldiers were brave and fierce, so I earned everyone's lives, and it really has nothing to do with me." ”
The eldest grandson nodded silently, stopped talking for a long time, and then raised the conversation and asked: "I see that Sister Gu is calm and calm, then, that miserable ...... Are you really fearless? ”
"Frightened, how can you not be afraid." Mu Qing smiled bitterly, "If you see it a few more times, you will be afraid when you get used to it." I still remember the first time I saw the killing, it was after the wedding ceremony of my wife, on the way to Jincheng County...... At that time, I was far less calm and patient than my wife, and I was immediately stunned, unable to move, and sat limply for a long time before coming back to my senses. ”
The eldest grandson no longer answered, the two were silent for a moment, and when they arrived at the house where Mu Qing lived, she was just about to say something else to her, but before she could speak, the eldest grandson opened her mouth and said: "I look at that He Sui Zhao, and it is very different to treat Sister Gu." The tone sounded casual, how could Mu Qing not hear that her sentence had been circled all the way.
Thinking that the eldest grandson was still young, she didn't want to deal with her in terms of words, nor did she want her to be entangled in this question, so she only said indifferently at the moment: "He Suizhao and Keming are both close confidants of Duke Li, and compared to Duke Li himself and the rest of his heirs, the two of them treat Erlang very differently. This is different from what Madame said, and it is indeed the same, and if you really want to distinguish it, you are afraid of ......"
"It turned out that I was young and ignorant, and I was very concerned about my sister, and I was afraid that He Suizhao would be disrespectful to my sister, so I asked this question, and my sister should not be careful." The eldest grandson is a delicate person, and when he heard Mu Qing's tone at first glance, he was busy talking about a sister, and brushed the conversation away. The carriage stopped suddenly, she opened the pane and looked out, "Yo, Sister Gu has arrived." ”
Mu Qing owed her a little, "Madame was frightened today, she was really tired, go back and rest, Mo Duo worried." ”
The eldest grandson politely said two sentences, and did not mention it when he returned home.
Mu Qing took Ah Yue and walked back to the house quickly, and as soon as she entered the door, she urgently called Ah Liu to take dried mugwort leaves and boil water to bathe, she did not enter the house and did not allow Ah Yue to enter the house, only sat in the courtyard, waiting to bathe.
It wasn't until the whole person was immersed in the clear water with a faint fragrance of Ai Peng that she felt that the smell of blood on her body had dissipated, and she carefully washed her hair, rubbed the silk and sniffed it repeatedly, and confirmed that there was no smell before she stopped. Ah Liu looked at her for a long time, and asked her only that she was attacked by thieves outside the city, and the fight was stained with blood, which made people feel disgusting, and told Ah Liu to take out the lake-green robe and throw it away.
Ah Liu was still about to ask in detail, and when he heard her say this, he closed his mouth when he shut, and he could probably guess something. After sitting idle for a while, he suddenly remembered something, and squinted his eyes with a smile before he spoke, "Someone sent a message at noon, saying that Ah Lang will enter the city with the army at dusk tomorrow. ”
A shallow smile spread on Mu Qing's face, "Can you talk about the hour?" Tomorrow I will meet him at the gates. ”
"The messenger ......," Ah Liu hesitated, "but he said that Ah Lang meant it, and he didn't teach you to go to the city gate to meet him, but only waited at home." ”
"What's the point?" Mu Qing straightened up from the water in confusion, crouched on the edge of the barrel and asked.
Where could Ah Liu know, he just shook his head. Because he was afraid that the water would be cold and make her cold, he urged her to get up and dress up and go to dinner.
Mu Qing frowned and shook his hand, "Don't prepare dinner for me, just a bowl of plum syrup." ”
If it weren't for Fang Cai, Ah Yue also said that she couldn't eat, and only wanted something sour and cold, Ah Liu might have wondered if Mu Qing had good news, and now she only muttered to herself, "Why don't you think about food, what happened." ”
There are still thirty or forty miles away from Jinyang City, and the sky is dark, and there is no way to go. An army of 100,000 was stationed in the vast expanse beyond the valley. White tents dotted, bonfires camped.
When he went out of the city to fight, he only gathered 20,000 soldiers, but now he returned to the city and became 100,000 people. The soldiers brought by the 20,000 originally did not suffer much, and with the more than 10,000 thieves who fell, there were 30,000. 60,000 were confiscated and detained all the way, unwilling to surrender. Another 10,000 are stacked on top of each other.
Du Ruhui came out of the main tent of Tang Guogong, and a pile of soldiers and generals sat outside, and when they saw him, they all raised their hands to greet him, and invited him to sit down and talk together.
Tomorrow is about to enter the city, but these 60,000 who are unwilling to surrender teach Tang Guogong a headache all the way. According to Du Ruhui's proposition, if he could not make it obey, he would abandon it, just detain it, send people to the imperial city of the eastern capital to ask for an idea, and dispose of it with the will of the court.
Tang Guogong was extremely reluctant to let these 60,000 horses and horses, and insisted on going privately, not to mention that there was a tiger Benlang general Wang Wei in the middle, and every word and deed was under his supervision, even if there was a way to hide Wang Wei, it was only feasible for these 60,000 people to be willing to surrender. Du Ruhui made up his mind and didn't want to spend any more time in vain, so he just followed Tang Guogong's wishes.
The moon had risen into the sky, making everything in the night bright and visible, Du Ruhui stepped on the moonlight alone, turning around in the camp, and imperceptibly walked to the edge of the camp, near the long cart. It was early summer, the weather was hot, and the corpses of nearly 10,000 beheaded rebels were piled up on the cart, and after two days of sitting, they began to emit a disgusting smell.
Du Ruhui stood in front of the slippery cart with his hands behind his back for a while, and suddenly someone said in the dark: "Does my father still insist on following Yang Guang's example?" ”
"I persuaded several times, but Li Gong insisted on this, and I couldn't." Du Ruhui said helplessly.
Li Shimin walked out of the darkness slowly, stood with him, and looked at the corpses on the carts, "With these, can you teach those 60,000 people to obey?" ”
"It is not difficult to teach people to bend down, but it takes a lot of effort to convince people. Do you still remember how to put away the Xuanjia Army that day? Du Ruyan said indifferently: "Although the 60,000 people are large, they are all rabble, and they will be broken with one blow, far inferior to the five hundred Xuanjia army, what is the use of collecting it, it is not worth wasting a lot of thought." If Gong Li orders you to take in these 60,000 horses, don't respond, and the idea is pushed back. ”
"Why is that?" Li Shimin asked in surprise.
"They have nostalgia for the old Lord in their hearts, that is, they will not be very convinced, how can they be used? The use of soldiers is taboo. I'm afraid that if you provoke trouble in the future, you will dissipate the morale of the army under your command. Du Ruhui said.
Li Shimin lowered his head and nodded a few times, and after a moment, he raised his head again and said: "After receiving the news of He Suizhao, more than 1,000 rebel troops were wiped out on the outskirts of the city today, and they were the ones who broke through the siege and fled the day before yesterday. It happened that they were giving porridge on the outskirts of the city......"
Du Ruhui turned his face in shock, "He Suizhao only has fifty warriors out of the city with them, how can he exterminate a thousand people?" Are you all right? ”
"All safe and sound." Li Shimin said with a smile, "Qi Niang is arranging a formation, and when I return home tomorrow, Brother Du will know after asking carefully."
