Nian Qianyao was a little hesitant, although in the troubled times, human life is often not worth mentioning like grass mustard, but cold-blooded people like Hu Qiheng are also a minority, if he adopts this strategy, I am afraid that it will be greatly recorded in the history books in the future, which can be called a stench for 10,000 years.

"Yuan Fang, if you are so ruthless, I am afraid that you will not be able to deal with the imperial court in the future......." Nian Qianyao never made up his mind, and said tentatively: "It is better to mobilize a batch of military food from Gansu, and maybe you can survive this time......"

But where is there still military rations in Gansu? In fact, the continuous war for many years has gradually drained the grain and grass in Shaanxi, Gansu and other places, so that Fengxiang Guancang has been able to run rats early, so Nian Qianyao's words are coaxing himself!

Where can't Hu Qiheng see Nian Qianyao's true thoughts? It's just that he didn't want to be scolded, so he leaned over lightly and whispered to Nian Qianyao, but the words made Nian Qianyao's face change and change, but in the end, he could only nod helplessly, "It's just that this time, it's the people who have suffered......"

"General, those who do great things are not informal, as long as they can raise enough military rations and salaries to encourage morale, even if they occasionally miss small things, it is understandable......"

Nian Qianyao let out a long sigh: "It's just that I have this thought, but I don't know if the emperor can still perceive it, if there is really infamy in the future, I will carry it...... In my Qing Dynasty, someone has to come out and shed blood and sacrifice! ”

..........

In the middle of the night, the Qing army camp was brightly lit, and many soldiers poured out of the camp tents, and under the leadership of the leader Zuo, they were divided into countless teams, carrying torches, knives, guns, and birds, and began to knock on doors in the city.

If someone opened the door, the soldiers behind would rush in, sweeping away the family's only remaining food and money, and if anyone resisted, the Qing soldiers would draw their swords and slash and slaughter.

Many people closed their doors, but they could not avoid the attacks of the Qing army, they tried every means to chop with knives and axes, and bombarded with birds, just to plunder everything.

It's just a little more than an hour, smoke and dust are burning everywhere in the city, they wantonly plunder everything of the people, vent their animal desires, screams resounded everywhere in the city, some old people witnessed all this, tears flowed, "God, when will these calamities be a head.....

This is not the first time this kind of thing has happened in Fengxiang City, and it has also performed such suffering decades ago. It's just that for the people, no matter which one happens, it is a complete man-made disaster.

The people had no way to resist the wolf-like Qing soldiers, they had to watch as the Qing army snatched their last bit of food, which almost took their lives in such a year.

A killing and looting almost set the entire Fengxiang Mansion City on fire, and when it was almost dawn, they chose to stop, and in this process, the gentry of Fengxiang didn't want to beg for mercy from General Nian Qianyao, but they couldn't see Nian Qianyao at all, until the whole city was almost killed, and they didn't see the shadow of General Nian.

From the gentry to the common people, almost the vast majority of them died in this long-planned conspiracy, and the mastermind of the whole incident, Hu Qiheng, just wiped his hands, as if this matter had nothing to do with him, and slowly followed Nian Qianyao.

Facing Fengxiang City, which was almost in ruins, and facing the surviving gentry and people, Nian Qianyao was a little silent, he coughed lightly, and said as if to cover up: "Yesterday, the camp roared, and the rebels entered the city as a coward, and the bullets were not effective, and the people suffered, which is really an unforgivable crime.......

Naturally, there was no convincing effect on these words, but the people all lowered their heads, and they didn't dare to look at the general of the imperial court, because they were afraid that the hatred in their eyes would be revealed. But everyone knows in their hearts that in this matter, he Nian Qianyao is the biggest real culprit behind the scenes.

Seeing that no one answered, Nian Qianyao looked a little embarrassed, "General Ben will give you an explanation, come on, bring these dogs and things!" ”

I saw dozens of Qing soldiers who had been stripped of their uniforms being escorted up, their arms were tied to death, their mouths were still stuffed with a ball of cloth, and their faces were filled with despair and unwillingness, especially when they looked at the people below, the struggle became more and more intense.

"Kill!"

After a burst of sword light, these Qing soldiers fell in a pool of blood, and they didn't even spit out half a word. I think that these people are the explanations given by Nian Qianyao, but this explanation always seems a little hasty and perfunctory.

In front of the remnants of the people, Nian Qianyao killed these green battalion soldiers, and the matter passed, as for the property and food looted by those soldiers, no one mentioned it at all, even the remnants of Fengxiang's people, in the face of the smoke of the whole city, did not dare to ask Nian Qianyao for it anymore - if you really want to ask for it, I am afraid that the rest of the people will not survive.

Hu Qiheng's strategy achieved good results, not only collected a lot of food and property from Fengxiang Mansion, but also stimulated the fierce spirit of the Northwest Army, sharpened this knife to be extremely fierce, and the blood was soaring to the sky, but the price paid behind this was the people of the entire Fengxiang Mansion City.

After such a bloody incident, Nian Qianyao led the army to launch an attack along Xi'an Mansion, but it caused panic among the people of the entire Shaanxi, everyone had heard of the fusion in Fengxiang Mansion, so they were naturally extremely vigilant, and the White Lotus Sect was also tyrannical, so the people had to choose to flee one after another.

Nian Qianyao's northwest army pointed at Xi'an, Liu Ruhan was naturally not to be outdone, he quickly mobilized a large army, along Xingping to Yixian, the purpose of which was to occupy the nearby strategic points, so as to better control the direction of the Qing army.

In Xi'an City, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Great Righteous Army, with simple swords and spears in their hands, began to advance in the direction of Fengxiang Mansion under the banner of the Great Righteous Army.

Strictly speaking, they are not the elite force of the Great Righteous Army, so they do not look outstanding overall, and an army like this, facing the 100,000 troops of the Qing Army, the result is self-evident, or rather, from this moment on, they are already destined to become cannon fodder in this battle.

Of course, the general who led this cannon fodder force was not Liu Ruhan's henchman, but Chen Daoxian, the helmsman of Baihedao, who had been secretly under house arrest for more than two years, but his current official position on the surface is just a nondescript right general.

Liu Ruhan took Chen Daoxian's hand, looking reluctant, "General Chen is going here to take the future of my great righteous army, the responsibility is heavier than Mount Tai, I am really a little reluctant in my lonely heart, the war is critical, please be more careful, make meritorious contributions, and fight for my great righteous army!" ”

The so-called "future" and "heavier than Mount Tai" have all set Chen Daoxian up, if the war is lost in the future or dares to escape, Liu Ruhan will have every reason to kill Chen Daoxian, even if it is Ning Chu, it is not good to say anything more because of this.

After all, the general of the defeated army should be judged to die, no matter where it is placed, it is a matter of course.

Chen Daoxian's face was indifferent, and he didn't seem to have any irritation, because he had just been released from house arrest, his body seemed slightly thinner, and his skin was much fairer, so the whole person looked a little more elegant.

"His Royal Highness the King of Han, the ministers should block the Qing soldiers for His Royal Highness, and they will never give up!"

For Liu Ruhan, the contradiction between him and Chen Daoxian has long been made public, which is not a secret among the high-level members of the Great Righteous Army, but now in the eyes of everyone, the two seem to be a little too harmonious, and it seems that the person who has been under house arrest for more than two years is not Chen Daoxian at all.

In fact, Chen Daoxian knows Liu Ruhan's intentions, and now there are so-called 150,000 troops in Xi'an, but the real elite of them is only more than 20,000 people, and the others are basically farmers who have just put down their hoes, and the so-called 30,000 horses allocated to him are even more vain, not to mention artillery, even more than 200 firearms, and they are all old-fashioned things, and they can't be used at all.

To use such an army to deal with the Qing army, it is basically to find death, and it is even very likely that if a wave of charges down, his 20,000 people will be scattered.

However, Chen Daoxian did not complain in the slightest, because this time he was not alone.......

........

There are many delicacies in Xi'an, and there is a restaurant that makes lamb soup in the east of Xi'an City is very famous, called the old Qin family lamb soup, making a good hand of lamb soup, cooking finely, the material is heavy and mellow, and it tastes like a thick meat soup, fat but not greasy, so it is quite famous in the city, and the business is very hot every day.

"Shopkeeper, two more steamed buns, a bowl of mutton soup....."

"Okay, two steamed buns, a bowl of mutton soup....."

Xiao Er shouted loudly to the back kitchen on one side, and ripped off the towel on his shoulder on the other, "A few masters, you are here, our old Qin's mutton soup, that is called a fresh!" ”

"Sensei is talking nonsense, hurry up!"

When the shop is noisy, there is some fireworks, since Xi'an City suffered a military disaster, this ordinary people naturally do not dare to go out at will, fortunately, the great righteous army up and down, seems to know that the people's livelihood is difficult, so at the beginning in addition to the rich households in the city, but did not embarrass others.

The shopkeeper of the old Qin family saw that this military disaster was gone, so he opened the door with the courage to entertain some old neighbors in the past, but he could also do business, and later among the righteous army, there were also some soldiers who found this good sheep soup, so they came to take care of the business from time to time, so the old Qin family yokan also completely opened the door to welcome customers.

After a while, a few soldiers dressed in the uniforms of the Great Righteous Army walked in from outside the door, and they walked into the store with a big grin, and did not speak, but put the guys in their hands on the table, and with a "bang", it attracted the attention of the shopkeeper, and he hurriedly walked out of the counter himself, with a smile on his face.

"A few military masters, what should you eat?"

One of the middle people held the grass roots in his mouth and said with a big grin: "Our brothers are okay, let's have a bowl of mutton soup and a dozen steamed buns, and then ...... One more leg of lamb is enough! However, my adult can't eat these, he has to go to the private room to eat......."

The shopkeeper was not frightened by these **, and still smiled and said: "Hey, the lamb soup and baked cakes of the masters will be served in a while, and the lamb leg is big, fat and tender....... As for the adults' boxes, they will be prepared immediately, and I will go and wait for them. ”

Soon a man came over and shouted for the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper himself quietly walked in the direction of the back kitchen, but in the warehouse of the back kitchen, he found an extremely hidden tunnel, and then walked in.

The shopkeeper took the torch and walked a dozen steps through the tunnel, and then he saw a door, and after knocking on the door according to the code, the door was opened a moment later.

The shopkeeper walked in, and soon came to a room, in which stood a strong man, who was dressed in very ordinary coarse cloth clothes, but the evil aura revealed between his eyebrows made people feel extremely unusual.

When the strong man saw the shopkeeper coming in, he immediately clenched his fists and said, "The military intelligence department is codenamed seventeen, and I have seen my lord." ”

The shopkeeper nodded, and then said solemnly, "How is the 'poison pill' plan going?" Is there any change in No. 1? ”

"It's going well at the moment, it's just that Number One doesn't seem to have that patience anymore...... Although the subordinates have not yet found out, it is certain that secret agents have been planted around No. 2, and once the war starts, I am afraid that No. 2 will be killed! ”

The strong man's face was slightly anxious, "My subordinates think that this news must be notified to No. 2 immediately, and the secret agent should be investigated as soon as possible, and as for No. 1, we must be a little more cautious." ”

The shopkeeper's face was a little solemn, "No. 2 must not be lost, I will immediately arrange an emergency channel to deliver the news, and you must also hurry back to No. 1, if you are not there for a long time, I am afraid that he will become suspicious of you, and if the plan fails, you will send out the No. 4 carrier pigeon." ”

"Yes."

The strong man nodded, and after the information came out, he left from another direction, but after a while, he went outside, and then he changed into the armor of a general of the Great Righteous Army, and walked for a long way before he arrived at the old Qin family's yokan.

Seeing the strong man coming, the soldiers who were eating hurriedly stood up, and the soldier led by him said in a low voice: "My lord, the shopkeeper of the private room is ready, please." ”

The strong man replied softly, took it out of his arms for a while, spilled a handful of copper coins on the table, and snorted softly: "You guys, don't owe the store money for wine." After speaking, he stopped looking at the soldiers, and walked towards the second floor.

The soldier at the head looked at the back of this person, with a look of envy on his face, and then whispered to the soldier beside him: "You are all newcomers, I have to tell you a few words, the adult is not an ordinary person, his old man followed the King of Han back then, and now he is still on an errand in the Han King's Mansion, you have to talk to his old man well, and you won't have to worry about eating and drinking in the future!" ”

The soldiers on the side nodded their heads like pounding garlic, but they kept looking at the bowl of the talking soldier, and at this time there was still half a bowl of delicious mutton soup, and they couldn't help but swallow their saliva secretly.
