Chapter 395: Slaughtering the City
When he saw the soldiers under his command entering the city, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then a fierce look appeared in his eyes: "Order, cut the grass to the roots!" There is not a single thief left in the city! ”
The Yuan soldiers had already held back their anger, and after an order from Toto, a swarm of bees rushed into the city, regardless of men, women, children, or not, whether they were soldiers of the Red Turban Army, they killed people when they saw them, robbed them when they saw them, and they became a gang of robbers and bandits, and they did all kinds of evil things such as burning, killing, and plundering.
Jia Lu, the hero of the river control, was also on the left and right of Toto, and when he saw his soldiers acting like this, he couldn't help but suggest: "Prime Minister, the whole world is not the king's land, although there are thieves in Xuzhou City, but the people are all the people of our Dayuan, they are all innocent!" ”
Totok snorted coldly: "Jia Shangshu, do you know that nine out of ten of these thieves are composed of the people in the city?" These days, when we were attacking the city, you also saw that all men and women in the city, young and old, actually helped the thieves to defend the city, is this also called innocence? I think they are clearly provoking the majesty of the imperial court! If I let them go, I can't guarantee that they won't continue to commit rebellion. ”
"But this ......"
Jia Lu wanted to persuade again, but was interrupted by Toto's cold words: "Come on, Jia Shangshu is old, I'm afraid he's tired after a long time in battle, take him down to rest." ”
Jia Lu had no choice but to be led back by the soldiers.
Seeing this, even if the other civil and military officials had the heart to persuade Tutuo not to slaughter the city, they didn't dare to speak, and they all nodded and did so.
The helpless people in the city were abused by the Yuan soldiers, not to mention, Sesame Li took the only remaining people to fight and retreat, and the destination of his retreat was the house where Wen Xuan and others fled.
After fighting hard for a long time, Sesame Li was already covered in injuries, and his men had been eaten away by the Yuan soldiers, and now there were only a few dozen people left standing by his side to protect him, but fortunately, Sesame Li rushed to the vicinity of the house as he wished.
Sesame Li held on to the low wall and gasped for breath, and then suddenly shouted in his throat: "Protect the saintess, don't be hurt by the Yuan soldiers!" Protect the Holy Maiden! Protect the Holy Maiden! ”
After Sesame Li finished shouting, he led people to protect the house, and the shrewd Yuan soldiers immediately surrounded the house after hearing Sesame Li's shout, and surrounded the house to the ground.
A Yuan soldier general stood in front and asked Sesame Li: "If you know each other, hand over the demon girl, and the general can leave you a whole corpse, otherwise the thief will cut it down with a knife and turn you into a ball of meat paste!" ”
At this moment, the courtyard door took the initiative to open, and Sesame Li's righteous son walked out with a simple knife, and behind him was the daughter of Sesame Li, who was pretending to be Han Lingyue.
Sesame Li's daughter had also mustered up her courage at this moment, and refuted loudly: "Shameless thief, if you have the ability, let the horse come, this saint is not afraid of you!" ”
Sesame Li laughed when she heard this, glanced back at her daughter, and praised loudly: "The holy woman is so bold!" Even if you die in battle today, you will have to pull a few thieves on your way! ”
After saying that, Sesame Li drew his knife and slashed at the general of the Yuan soldiers, so frightened that his hairs stood on end, and he was almost killed.
The general of the Yuan soldiers was furious: "Give it to me!" Kill all these red turban thieves for me! Only the demon girl will be left alive! ”
The two sides rushed up, and immediately began to fight against each other, Sesame Li raised the knife and cut down the two Yuan soldiers one after another, but the Yuan soldiers were really numerous, and the two fists were difficult to defeat the four hands, and they were stabbed in the leg by the Yuan soldiers with spears in a short time.
This spear stabbed Sesame Lee's thigh into a bloody hole, and Sesame Li scolded her mother in pain and immediately fell to the ground.
As soon as his mute righteous son saw that his father-in-law was injured, he immediately rushed up, but he couldn't do it, and he was also cut to the ground with a knife by Yuan Bing.
Seeing that her father and brother had died, Sesame Li's daughter was so anxious that she burst into tears, but Yuan Bing threw herself at her with a cruel smile.
Li knew that if he fell into the hands of Yuan Bing, he would only be worse off than dead, so he took out the dagger that he had prepared long ago from his sleeve, wiped his neck with a cross of his heart, and committed suicide on the spot.
Seeing that her daughter had committed suicide, Sesame Li felt unspeakably uncomfortable, endured the pain in her leg and crawled to the feet of a Yuan soldier, and bit her mouth with one mouth.
Yuan Bing screamed in pain, and hurriedly used the ring knife in his hand to cut Sesame Li, this cut was more than a dozen knives, and the back of Sesame Li was cut to the point of flesh and blood.
Sesame Li died tragically on the spot, and his righteous son was not willing to live, so he got up and poked a Yuan soldier in the eye with his fingers before being shot with an arrow.
With the killing of Sesame Li and his children, the entire city of Xuzhou was also declared broken, and none of the remnants of the Red Turban Army and the people in the city escaped the poisonous hands of the Yuan soldiers.
The Yuan soldiers, who were full of anger, slaughtered all the lives in Xuzhou City in this way, and the whole massacre lasted for more than two hours, and there were corpses everywhere as far as the naked eye could see, and the blood flowing on the ground was almost mixed into a stream.
Tokhtar wanted to take the officials into the city to inspect the results of the battle, but as soon as he walked to the city gate, he almost vomited after seeing the stumps, broken arms and brains flying all over the ground, and immediately turned his horse away, leaving only a few generals to take care of the aftermath.
After Tokhtar returned to the camp, all the officials came forward to say goodbye, claiming that the prime minister had completed his immortal deeds, and this move would definitely leave a name for eternity, but Jia Lu's face was ugly and he stood in place without saying a word.
The corner of his eye swept to Jia Lu, and then he realized that he was a Han Chinese, no wonder he would be dissatisfied with ordering the slaughter of the city.
Thinking of this, Tokhtar felt disgusted with Jia Lu, who he had admired, and after a turn of thought, he thought of a countermeasure and sent someone to call Jia Lu closer.
"There are a lot of government affairs in the DPRK and China, and after the prime minister breaks Xuzhou, he will return to the DPRK, but I heard that the Haozhou area has been rampant recently, and I have to leave a veteran general to lead the troops, I can rest assured, I think Jia Shangshu You are a good candidate, I don't know if you are willing to serve the country?"
Jia Lu has been in the officialdom for many years, and he has seen countless winds and waves, and when he gets rid of his mouth, he knows that he has been disgusted by the prime minister, and he is now old, how can he be suitable for leading troops to fight? But how dare you refuse to serve the country as a resignation?
Jia Lu felt bitter in his heart, but he could only reluctantly agree: "How dare your subordinates disobey the prime minister's order?" Lao Chen led his troops to continue to attack Haozhou. ”
Totoku then called Ru Zhongbai and said in front of Jia Lu: "That Dong Junxiao has performed well in Jiangnan, so promote him to be the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces and continue to beg for thieves, and the thieves in Haozhou will be handed over to Jia Shangshu to deal with." ”
Jia Lu felt cold for a while, he didn't expect this young and promising virtuous minister to reject Hanchen so much, Rao is loyal to the country all his life, and he would be excluded by him in the end.
Tokhtar promoted Jia Lu to Zhongshu Zuocheng, called his generals to hand over the military power to him, and then smiled with satisfaction.
Jia Lu, who had an ugly face, was sad in his heart, and left the scene early on the grounds of poor health, unwilling to see more flattery and flattery from the ministers.
