Chapter 0524 A Sinner, A Hero

"They are standing outside our barracks...... In the beginning...... The soldiers and men who go out of the camp alone will be plundered...... In the end, the people who left the camp alone never came back......"

Yang Wenguang closed his eyes painfully and said in a low voice.

When Kou Ji heard this, his heart was shocked, just by the color of the eyes of the people of Shazhou who were killed at the gate of the city just now, it was enough to understand what happened to the soldiers and men who fell into the hands of the people of Shazhou.

Kou Ji clenched his fists in annoyance and said in a deep voice, "You guys didn't do anything? ”

Yang Wenguang gritted his teeth and said, "I took people out to kill a group of ...... caused a riot among the people of Shazhou, and Cao Xianshun even sent someone to tell us that if we killed the people of Shazhou for no reason, we would be expelled from the city. ”

"The envoy of the Guiyi Army is really a great majesty!"

Kou Ji said resentfully.

Yang Wenguang let out a long sigh.

Kou Ji asked, "What about Zhu Neng?" ”

Yang Wenguang said with a bitter face: "General Zhu quarreled with Xue Gong in order to protect me, and was robbed of military power by Xue Gong, and is now imprisoned in the camp. ”

Kou Ji raised his eyebrows and did not speak.

After pondering for a long time, when he was about to arrive at the gate of the big camp in the city, Kou Ji spoke again, "How many of us are left?" ”

When Yang Wenguang heard this, he said bitterly: "There are still 60,000 soldiers left...... Minfu ...... Half of the people are gone......"

When Kou Ji heard this, his face turned pale, he trembled, and he almost fell off his horse.

Kou Ji stared at the gate with only two faint lights, and said in a trembling voice: "This gate ...... I don't dare to go into ......."

At the entrance of the gate, there was silence, and it was as black as a ghost.

Yang Wenguang said in a deep voice: "The death of the soldiers and the people has nothing to do with ......"

Kou Ji took a deep breath and said to Yang Wenguang: "You don't have to say much...... Tonight, I won't go in this gate. After the food is delivered, let people bury the pot and make rice, so that the soldiers and people can eat a mouthful of hot food.

Remember not to overfeed them.

If they didn't starve to death, it means that they shouldn't die.

We must not let them die because of our negligence.

Tomorrow morning, you take everyone to the south gate to assemble, I have something to say. ”

Yang Wenguang nodded heavily.

Koji fled the camp on horseback, escorted by guards.

He really didn't dare to enter the camp that shrouded the souls of the dead.

Kou Ji rode his horse all the way to the south city gate, and saw the old servant of the Xue Mansion, supporting the lost Xue Tian, walking back.

Koji jumped off his horse and stumbled to the ground.

In the exclamation of the guards, he got up, staggered to Xue Tian, kicked away the old servant of Xue Mansion who was about to stop him, reached out and grabbed Xue Tian's collar, and brutally dragged Xue Tian to his side, staring at the scarlet eyes, tears, and roaring.

"Xue Tian, more than 60,000 people, more than 10,000 soldiers, gone!"

"Xue Tian, the reputation you want, the national prestige you want, let us lose seventy or eighty thousand people."

"They're dead, why are you still alive?"

"How do you still have a face alive?"

"Can't you hear their wails in midnight?"

"Can't you hear the wails of their parents, wives and children?"

"Seventy or eighty thousand, how dare you, how can you?"

“……”

Kou Ji grabbed Xue Tian and roared hysterically.

Xue Tian's face was pale, trembling all over, and he looked at Kou Ji in a daze.

The onlookers around watched this scene silently with tears in their eyes.

Seventy or eighty thousand people, for the sake of the so-called national prestige, for the so-called fame, are gone.

Anyone can feel sadness.

The soldiers who had just come down from the city wept silently, and squatted on the ground and wailed loudly.

Their robes are gone.

Their brother is gone.

Didn't die on the battlefield.

Instead, he starved to death in the city of Shazhou.

The people of Shazhou who came to their rescue were enemies.

The Guiyi army they came to help Cao Xianshun hid in the inner city to drink wine and eat meat, completely ignoring their starvation outside the city.

They have grievances in their hearts.

But there's nowhere to say.

There was anger in their hearts.

No one appeased.

If it weren't for the reinforcements, if it wasn't for the fulfillment of the military order.

Why did they do this?

Can't rush out?

Outside the city, there were only 3,000 iron harriers and tens of thousands of servants.

If they abandon Shazhou City, they can rush out of the city, and they can fight their way out of the city and escape back to the Great Song Dynasty.

No matter how bad it is, when the captives have a ration to eat.

But they didn't.

They are still stuck in Shazhou City.

"Xue Tian, it's not enough for you to die, what do you use to repay those seventy or eighty thousand lives?! What to pay back? ”

"Poof......

Xue Tian narrowed his eyes and spit out a mouthful of blood under Kou Ji's questioning.

Kou Ji didn't let him go.

I want to strangle him on the spot.

The soldiers who came down from the city opened the Kou season with tears in their eyes.

They felt that a high-ranking official like Kou Ji who had them in his heart should not get into trouble for their cheap life.

Even though Xue Tian made a big mistake, he was still the governor of the imperial court and one of the three governors.

Kou Jiruo strangled Xue Tian in a fit of rage.

Kou Ji's career is over.

Kou Ji was pulled away by the soldiers who came down from the city, and Xue Tian let the blood in his mouth run down his chest in despair, and stumbled to his residence.

The servants of the Xue Mansion wept and trotted to catch up with Xue Tian.

Koji broke free from the control of the soldiers and lay on the ground in tears.

Seventy or eighty thousand people are gone.

It's like cutting seventy or eighty thousand pieces of meat from Kou Ji.

Kou Ji was distressed and couldn't control himself.

The soldiers of the South City Gate were infected and wept together.

The soldiers who were going down the city wall lay on the city wall and cried loudly.

The remnants of the camp were in tears as they grabbed the raw rice and stuffed it into their mouths.

The wails spread throughout the city of Shazhou.

On the walls of the inner city.

When the Uighur soldiers of Shazhou heard the cry, their hearts trembled in panic.

The Shazhou Uighur nobles in the inner city heard the cry and sat still.

Only Cao Xianshun, the envoy of the Guiyi Army in the luxurious royal palace, heard the crying and enjoyed himself while crying.

Outside the city of Shazhou.

After hearing the cry, Yeli Yuqi stared at Shazhou City and was speechless for a long time.

When others heard the cry, they felt sorrow.

He heard the cry and felt a sea of corpses and blood.

If the soldiers and horses of the former Song Kingdom, after being trapped, crying like this, Yeli Yuqi would definitely laugh off his big teeth.

But now the soldiers and horses of the Song Kingdom are crying, and he is terrified to listen to it.

In the past, the Song Kingdom was a toothless tiger.

The current Song Kingdom has all its teeth and claws.

"Hey......"

Ye Liyu sighed deeply.

……

The wailing and wailing continued all night.

It was not until dawn that it slowly dissipated.

After dawn.

Kou Ji, who was sitting on the wall of Shazhou City with red eyes, got two pieces of news.

"Last night, more than 1,000 soldiers died of starvation in their sleep...... There are hundreds of soldiers...... Hold ...... up."

Xue Tian hanged himself in the tent, and the old servant of the Xue Mansion also hanged himself. Xue Tian left a note before he died, which was a ...... to the official family"

Liu Heng whispered beside Kou Ji with a sad face.

Kou Ji gritted his teeth and said, "Xue Tian should be damned...... Hanged himself...... Cheap him...... He deserves to be cut with a thousand cuts......"

Kou Ji's voice was very hoarse, and it was very uncomfortable to hear Liu Heng's ears.

Xue Tian hanged himself, Kou Ji, and Liu Heng didn't feel strange at all.

But anyone who has a little shame has no face to survive after hearing Kou Ji's words last night.

If Xue Tian didn't hang himself, then they would have to get to know Xue Tian again.

Liu Heng said in a deep voice: "Do you want to take a look at the notes left by Xue Tian?" ”

Kou Ji glanced at Liu Heng and said coldly: "In my eyes, Xue Tian's performance is not as good as toilet paper. I don't care at all what he writes in the recital.

spread the truth about what Xue Tian did in the Western Regions this time, as well as the fact that he killed tens of thousands of soldiers.

I'm going to let him die and not be in peace.

I will leave him to stink for 10,000 years.

I will let him be reviled for eternity. ”

Liu Heng's pupils shrank, and he said in horror: "Fourth brother...... Think twice...... If you do this, you will offend all the civil officials in the court. ”

Kou Ji stared at Liu Heng with red eyes, and said coldly, "What are they?" That's shit. They're upset and can come and kill me. If you can't kill me, I'll kill them when I get back. ”

When Liu Heng heard this, his heart was shocked.

Kou Ji's words can be said to be very rampant, and even a little rebellious.

But he didn't think there was anything wrong with what Kou Ji said.

Liu Heng said in a deep voice: "Fourth brother's thoughts, I understand ......"

Kou Ji nodded stiffly and instructed Liu Heng: "Tell people to collect the bones of the dead soldiers, but the bones of your own people who died in the city should not be missing." ”

"......"

"Zhang Wangqi, hang the emperor's sword, beat the snare drum, and point the general!"

"Whew...... ......"

Liu Heng seemed to realize what Kou Ji was going to do, and his voice trembled slightly in response.

The flag of the king's order, which symbolized the identity of the Qincha, was held up at the sound of Liu Heng's command and hung high behind Kou Ji.

Liu Heng personally held the Sword of the Son of Heaven and stood beside Kou Ji.

Forty-eight men patrolling horses and guards, shirtless in the winter, held drumsticks high, and beat forty-eight copper drums.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

The heavy and dull drum sound resounded inside and outside the city of Shazhou.

Anyone who hears the sound of the drum is shocked.

"Da Da Da ......"

The sound of hurried horses' hooves sounded in Shazhou City.

Yang Wenguang rode the only thin horse in the city, led the soldiers of the Divine Guard under his command, and appeared at the south city gate.

"The last general, Yang Wenguang, is willing to obey the order of the Qin, ......"

"The last general, Cao Xiong, is willing to obey the order of the Qin ......"

"The Last General ......"

“……”

"The last general, Zhu Neng, is willing to obey the order of the Qin ......"

Zhu Neng was carried and appeared at the South City Gate, followed by all the Dragon Guard soldiers.

After Zhu Neng was seized of military power by Xue Tian, he has been staying in the barracks, because he is worried about the military and the military situation, he is uneasy day and night, he is sick, and he has been lying on the bed for half a month.

In the second half of the night last night, Zhu Neng rushed to the south gate and met Kou Ji.

Kou Ji let him recuperate in the barracks and did not let him participate in today's affairs.

I didn't expect him to arrive.

Sixty thousand soldiers, all standing at the south gate, waiting for Kou Ji's order.

Kou Ji stood at the head of the city and said coldly: "Order Zhu Neng, lead 20,000 soldiers of the Dragon Guard, accompany the soldiers of the Japanese army, the soldiers of the Yuanshan Department, and stick to Shazhou City." Whenever an enemy comes to attack, give me a fierce response.

In wartime, no prisoners were left. ”

Zhu Neng hugged his fists and said, "Oh! ”

Kou Ji continued: "Order Yang Wenguang to lead the remaining 20,000 Dragon Guard soldiers and 20,000 Divine Guard soldiers to level the outer city of Shazhou City before dark, and not one of the men will be left, and none of the women over thirty years old will be left.

After nightfall, I will see you at the gate of the inner city of Shazhou.

Those who delay military aircraft will be beheaded. ”

Yang Wenguang took the Dragon God Guards and answered in unison.

Kou Ji took out the sword of the Son of Heaven, pointed it at the city of Shazhou, and roared, "Kill!" ”

Yang Wenguang led 40,000 soldiers and horses and killed them.

Everywhere I went, it could almost be said that there was no armor left.

The shouts of killing, flames, and wails instantly spread to the entire Shazhou City.

Those Shazhou people who were hiding in Shazhou City were all found out.

became a ghost under the knife.

Kou Ji's ruthlessness and Kou Ji's cruelty shocked everyone.

Zhu Neng led the soldiers to the top of the city, looked at the wolf-smoked Shazhou City, and said to Kou Ji: "Is it ...... It's so ruthless......"

Kou Ji glanced at Zhu Neng, looked at a big man, thin skin and bones, forced the words on his lips into his stomach, and said coldly: "You haven't slaughtered the city?" ”

Zhu Neng was stunned for a moment, and said faintly: "Tu ...... But I didn't slaughter it like that......"

Kou Ji snorted coldly and did not speak.

Zhu Neng stared at Kou Ji and said, "You seem to have a complaint against me?" ”

Kou Ji looked at Zhu Neng and said coldly: "Not bad......"

"Why?"

"If you could be tougher, our people wouldn't have to die so much."

Zhu Neng said with a bitter face: "All the people have nothing to eat, I'm tough, what's the use?" ”

Kou Ji glanced at the inner city of Shazhou City and said coldly: "There is food in the inner city." ”

Zhu Neng gritted his teeth, and said with a more depressed face: "I'm not you, you can hold the Son of Heaven Sword and run rampant." I think I've taken control of the Ryujin Second Guard. But after Xue Tian took out a document stamped with the seals of the inner court and the Privy Council, all the supervisors, counselors, and documents in the army fell to him.

Xue Tian seized my military power in one fell swoop.

It's hard for me to be tough, even if I want to. ”

Kou Ji gritted his teeth and did not continue to discuss this issue with Zhu Neng.

He stared coldly at the one-sided slaughter of the soldiers and horses of the Dragon God Second Guard in Shazhou City, and said lightly: "What about Fan Zhongyan? ”

Zhu Neng groaned for a while, sighed and said, "That's a ruthless person, and a good person." If he hadn't coordinated it, distributed the only remaining grain in the army, led the soldiers and men to dig up roots and grass roots, boiled leather boots and felt, and smashed sawdust for food, I am afraid that the officers and men in the army would not be alive now. ”

"So...... Where is he? ”

"In the ...... of recuperation"

"Huh?!"

Kou Ji looked skeptical.

Zhu Neng clenched his fists slightly, and said with emotion: "Since the day the food was cut off, he has not eaten anything in the army. has been leading the soldiers and people to run for their lives.

It wasn't until he couldn't stand it anymore and fell tired that we found out.

In order to hold on, he ate a pound and two taels of meat on his body. ”

Kou Ji felt it for a moment, and his whole heart twitched.
