Chapter 685: Cutting the Grass and Eradicating the Roots
After receiving Zhao Hu's exact order, Zhao Tian and Zhao Yi, who knew the speed of the soldiers, did not talk nonsense, and directly ordered more than 9,000 escorts and hurried towards the territory of Zhao Hong and Zhao Hu's other five uncles.
They wanted to take advantage of the fact that the other party did not know the news of the collapse of the coalition army and did not have the slightest defense, easily occupy those territories, kill all the rebels, and turn all the residents there into direct residents of Zhaojiabao.
After Zhao Yi and Zhao Tian led the escort team out of the canyon, Zhao Hu left five hundred elite guards to guard the entrance of the canyon to prevent the fish from escaping from the sea of fire, and then led the rest of Zhao An's guards, mounted war horses, and made a detour back to Zhaojiabao.
When Zhao Hu returned to Zhaojiabao and transmitted the news that the 50,000 allied troops had been burned to ashes by a fire, the entire residents of Zhaojiabao and Luoyun City fell into a sea of joy and let out a pleasant laugh.
They finally don't have to worry about the upcoming war, they don't have to worry about the safety of their lives and property, and at the same time, they have a little disgust because of Zhao Hu's wanton hunting and killing of stewards in Zhaojiabao and Luoyun City, and they have disappeared, replaced by sincere recognition and understanding.
After Zhao Hu returned to the castle, he did not go to rest, but immediately ordered the commanders of the city guards to transfer 10,000 men from the 50,000 city guards to clean up the battlefield in the burning canyon.
Then he sat quietly in his study, reflecting on the gains and losses of the day, analyzing the environmental situation he is in now, the difficulties he will face, and how he should do it, in order to overcome the difficulties in front of him and stabilize his position in Zhaojiabao without wavering.
Looking up at the crescent moon hanging above the sky, Zhao Xi had a bad premonition in his heart, he really couldn't imagine where the bad premonition in his heart came from, which made him feel very uncomfortable, inexplicably irritable, pacing back and forth behind the family's backyard.
Suddenly, a rush of footsteps reached Zhao Xi's ears, which made his originally irritable heart shake inexplicably, his body trembled involuntarily, his face changed slightly, and he said secretly: It's coming.
"Young master, it's not good, the people from Zhaojiabao are here!"
A manservant with a frightened face hurriedly ran to the backyard where Zhao Xi was, and shouted loudly in a frightened voice.
Glancing at the manservant with a frightened look on his face, Zhao Xi didn't bother to ask why the people from Zhaojiabao came to the door, so he quickly spared the manservant and ran straight towards the room where his mother and wife were.
At this time, Zhao Xi no longer had any mood and no extra time to ask the reason why the people of Zhaojiabao appeared at his door. Because, at this time, he only has the safety of his mother and wife in his heart, and nothing else at all.
Therefore, while rushing towards his mother and wife's room, he secretly prayed that the people of Zhao Jiabao who had killed the door of the house had not yet found his wife and mother.
"Mother!"
Zhao Xi, who had just entered the hall, saw a plump middle-aged woman wearing a brocade robe sprinkled with flowers on the bottom of the haze, long black hair, and a slightly chubby face, escorted to the front yard by two members of Zhaojiabao's escort team, and couldn't help but yell.
"Xi'er, run!" Looking at Zhao Xi, who was rushing towards his side with a worried face, the middle-aged woman who was being guarded changed her face and hurriedly shouted.
"There's another big fish, and we deserve our brothers luck today!" Hearing the middle-aged lady's shouting, the two members of the escort team who were guarding her couldn't help but smile and said excitedly.
Seeing the two members of the escort team who were in charge of guarding him, he separated one of them and killed his son with a cruel smile.
The middle-aged woman, her slightly chubby cheeks couldn't help but change, and immediately pushed away the member of the escort team who was guarding her with her hand, and quickly ran to the front of another member of the escort team, holding her arm with both hands, and shouted loudly at Zhao Xi: "Xi'er, run!" ”
After the members of the escort team who were holding their arms stiffly, no matter how hard they shook their arms, they couldn't get rid of the middle-aged woman's pull, their hearts were furious, their eyes flashed fiercely, and their right feet glared at the middle-aged woman's abdomen, falling to the ground, and spitting out a few mouthfuls of red blood.
Although she fell to the ground, the middle-aged woman's hands still grabbed the arm of the guard member, making it impossible for her to get out and grab Zhao Xi.
"Sluts are looking for death!"
Seeing that he couldn't get rid of the middle-aged woman's pull, the member of the escort was completely angry, and with a flick of the sharp steel knife in his hand, he saw a bloody light bloom in front of his eyes, and a terrible woman's scream sounded in the hall.
Zhao Xi, who was running rapidly, saw that his mother had a broken arm mercilessly, lying in a pool of blood, wailing and screaming weakly, he hurriedly quickened his pace, and stared at the member of the guard who cut off his mother's arm with a vicious gaze, and roared loudly: "You are looking for death!" ”
"I see, you are the one who is looking for death!"
The member of the escort who had cut off one of the middle-aged woman's arms, carrying a blood-dripping steel knife, greeted Zhao Xi with a cruel smile on his face, and laughed loudly.
Zhao Xi, who was running rapidly, turned around nimbly, dodged the steel knife attack of the escort members, and kicked him in the abdomen, kicking him to the ground, spitting out a few mouthfuls of red blood.
After lifting the member of the escort team to the ground, Zhao Xi quickly picked up the steel knife that he had fallen to the ground and slashed it hard at his neck.
Faced with Zhao Xi's slash to his neck, the member of the escort team hurriedly turned out, dodged his killer blow, and shouted for help to another member of the escort team: "Brother, come up and help!" ”
"I'm coming!"
Just as Zhao Xi was about to continue attacking the member of the escort team who was lying on the ground, another member of the escort team had already rushed to his side, and the steel knife in his hand also slashed towards the top of his head.
Facing the attack of the steel knife that slashed at the top of his head, Zhao Xi didn't care about continuing to attack the member of the guard team lying on the ground, and quickly flashed, dodging the slash to the top of his head, and then the steel knife in his hand swung and slashed towards the opponent's abdomen.
Just when Zhao Xi and the two members of the escort team were fighting to the death, the other members of the escort team who heard the movement in the hall quickly poured into the hall, and quickly joined the battlefield, made a few openings on their bodies, and captured them alive.
When Zhao Tian led several elite escort squadron leaders to the hall in a hurry, Zhao Xi, the middle-aged woman, and another beautiful young woman had already been tied up by dozens of escort team members who were armed with steel knives and exuded a strong smell of blood, waiting for Zhao Tian's disposal.
"Young Master Zhao Xi, we're meeting again!"
Looking at Zhao Xi, who had been reduced to a prisoner, Zhao Tian greeted with a smile.
"Zhao Tian, my father has led an elite army of 50,000 to attack Zhaojiabao, and the current Zhaojiabao is estimated to have been captured by my father's elite army, so, for the sake of your future future, you still let us go, I will beg my father not to care about today's affairs, and give you a good future!" Zhao Xi, who was tied up, looked at Zhao Tiandao with a calm face.
"Haha! You give me a good future, what are you kidding! The 50,000 elite army led by your father has been burned to ashes by Young Master Zhao Hu, and as for your dear father, he has also been dismembered by a knife. Looking at Zhao Xi's calm face, Zhao Tian said ruthlessly.
"It can't be! That's impossible! How could my father's 50,000 elite army be gone! You're lying to me, aren't you? You must be lying to me! After learning the truth that Zhao Tian had said, the calm look on Zhao Xi's face immediately disappeared, replaced by endless fear and panic.
"Alright, give me peace! Tell me the location of your treasure trove, and I can give you a good time, or I will let you be tortured to death! Seeing Zhao Xi who was in a state of madness, Zhao Tian frowned and said loudly.
Seeing Zhao Tian frowning, a clever member of the escort team immediately walked in front of Zhao Xi, who was in a state of madness, and kicked him in the abdomen a few times, and kicked the corners of his mouth and swallowed a mouthful of blood before he stopped moving, and threatened viciously: "Hurry back to the adult's words, otherwise, there will be hardships for you to eat later!" ”
"Don't hit my son, I'll tell you the location of our family's treasure house." The middle-aged woman with a broken arm, after learning that her husband Zhao Hong had died, knew that her family was finished, and in order to be less tortured before she died, she said the location of her treasure house very wisely.
"My lord, I've found the location of the treasure house!" A member of the escort team that Zhao Tian had been sent to find the treasure trove ran back quickly, shouting loudly with excitement on his face.
"Okay, move all the things in the treasure house out for me, transport them back to Zhaojiabao, and hand them over to Young Master Zhao Hu for disposal." Zhao Tian ordered to the members of the escort team beside him with an excited expression.
"Well, you're no longer of any use, you can die!" Zhao Tian turned around and glanced at Zhao Xi and the others, and said lightly.
As soon as his voice fell, he saw three members of the escort step forward, raise the steel knives in their hands, and slash at the top of their heads.
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! Zhao Xi begged for mercy with a frightened face.
"Don't kill me! I can cook cows and horses for you, I can do laundry and cook for you, I can warm your bed, and let you enjoy the pleasure between the beds! The beautiful young woman, when she saw the steel knife that was slashing at her, was frightened and begged for mercy in a loud voice.
"Come on!" The middle-aged woman, who had a broken arm, whispered with a calm face.
"Although you are good-looking and beautiful, it is a good choice to warm the bed, but there are many beautiful women, if you offend Young Master Zhao Hu for you, then, Lao Tzu's future will be over, so you should die!" Zhao Tian glanced at Zhao Xi's wife with appreciative eyes and said lightly.
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! The sound of a steel knife cutting into the flesh sounded in the hall, and all three of Zhao Xi were ruthlessly split in half with a steel knife by the members of the escort team, and fell in a pool of blood, powerlessly telling their unwillingness.
After killing Zhao Xi and the others, Zhao Tian led more than a thousand members of the escort team to ruthlessly kill all the personnel on Zhao Xi's mansion, and then, leaving the Zhao mansion, which had been infected with blood, went to the Zhao family's henchmen in the surrounding towns to kill.
That night, Zhao Tian led more than 1,000 members of the escort team to kill all the more than a dozen henchmen in the towns around Zhao Mansion, leaving no future trouble, and more than a dozen big families in the entire Zhao Mansion and the surrounding towns were all killed by him, leaving behind blood and corpses.
When Zhao Tian led the team to kill Zhao Xi's family and killed all his family's henchmen, Zhao Yi and the other four escort squadron leaders also led more than a thousand elite soldiers to successfully capture the town that was not guarded by many people, and killed all of Zhao Hu's five uncles and families, and all the henchmen who connected him were also killed, leaving no trouble.
At noon on the second day, the raging fire in the canyon was slowly extinguished under the erosion of the humidity, and 10,000 city guards who were responsible for cleaning the battlefield were able to enter the canyon.
Looking at the corpses of different shapes in the canyon that had been burned beyond recognition, and a pair of armor and weapons that were thrown everywhere, as well as the mountains that were burned bare, the 10,000 city guards who were responsible for cleaning the battlefield all had an inexplicable chill in their hearts.
That's 50,000 lives! In this way, it was all burned to char by a fire! This made those rookie city guards who had never been on the battlefield, had not experienced a cruel war, and had not experienced life and death parting, and felt an inexplicable chill rising in their hearts.
Just when the 10,000 city guards were terrified to clean up the battlefield in the canyon, clean up the corpses that had been burned to charcoal, and the armor and weapons scattered everywhere, the eighteen affiliated family representatives of Zhaojiabao also took the gifts carefully selected by the head of the family, rode fast horses, and galloped away in the direction where Zhaojiabao was located.
