137 In troubled times, people's lives are as cheap as dogs (3/4 for the 007 elders of the outer heavens)

When his subordinates heard this, they were a little surprised by his observational power, and hurriedly followed him to take a look, and sure enough, when they got closer, they found that the person lying on the ground was indeed a woman, with tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, and her hands were still moving unconsciously, but the person had lost consciousness.

Liu Yue saw the problem at a glance, and hurriedly squatted down, and while helping Gao Qingxue, he instructed his subordinates: "Quick, bring some water!" ”

The kettle hidden close to the body, and the body temperature, is really a rare good thing in this cold weather.

Even Gao Qingxue, who was unconscious, subconsciously swallowed when she felt warm water in her mouth.

At this time, no one cared about the dirtiness on her face, they just watched quietly.

I can't say anything pitiful or pitiful, I just look at it like that. In their hearts, there is more hope that this woman is the one they are ordered to seek. In this way, the emperor's will can be fulfilled.

Of course, this can't be said that these brocade guards are hard-hearted, but in today's world, there are really not too many people who die on the side of the road due to hunger and cold, they are all numb.

In troubled times, life is as cheap as a dog, and dead people are really not too normal!

Especially since the invasion of the Manchu army in Guannai, they are even more hateful than locusts, and everywhere they pass, they not only loot and plunder all the food and valuable things, but even do not let people go, they are either plundered by them, or they are killed, and they have become corpses that prove the troubled times.

After estimating that the water was almost drunk, Liu Yue returned the kettle to his subordinates, reached out and pinched the woman's person, rescued her urgently for a while, and finally saw that she was angry, and slowly opened her eyes.

Her eyes slowly brightened, and Gao Qingxue subconsciously thought that she had reached the world after death.

"Daddy......"

"Mother......

In the unconscious calling, when she slowly saw clearly, she was actually being held by the people of the Jinyi Guard, and many people were looking at her, she suddenly understood that it was the group of Jinyi Guard knights who turned back and saved herself, and she was not dead!

didn't have time to be moved, and she didn't care about thanking her, Gao Qingxue's first reaction was to reach out and grab Liu Yue's arm, and hurriedly said, "Wu Zhong...... Wu Zhong let the concubine ......"

Although she drank some water and her body eased a little, she was finally hungry and cold, and her body was so weak that she was not very quick to speak under the excitement. This also made her even more anxious, afraid that she couldn't speak clearly.

However, when she said the word Wu Zhong, Liu Yue's eyes suddenly lit up, and she didn't have to wait for her to finish, so she hurriedly confirmed: "You are entrusted by Wu Zhong to find our commander, aren't you?" ”

When Gao Qingxue heard this, he was a little stunned, he hadn't finished his words yet, how could he guess it?

However, to her surprise, she was still behind, and she heard the Jinyi Wei Zongqi ask her again: "Your name is Gao Qingxue?" ”

At the moment of "......", Gao Qingxue was really stunned, she couldn't figure out how the Jinyi Wei General Banner in front of her knew her name? It's impossible!

I didn't have time to think about it, I felt that it was too time-consuming to speak, Gao Qingxue didn't know where the strength came from, she nodded violently, and her tears couldn't help flowing out again, as if the little water she drank just now had all turned into her tears.

At this time, she already knew that what Wu Zhong entrusted to her had been completed. In other words, my father's revenge should be able to repay part of it! With this result, it's really worth dying!

As soon as he saw her move, Liu Yue was also very happy, if he missed it, he would never be able to complete the emperor's will. It is my luck to be able to come back like a ghost to save this roadside person, and it is also the luck of this woman!

Thinking of this, he hurriedly softened his attitude a little more and said, "You don't need to say more, the emperor already knows about your affairs and sent us over to pick you up." Your body is very weak now, so rest well. ”

After finishing speaking, he didn't think Gao Qingxue was dirty at this time, and after picking her up carefully, he went to the war horse.

The rest of the Jinyi Guard captains naturally knew that this woman was the person they were looking for, although they didn't know why they were looking for her, but they coincidentally found it and completed this mission, of course, they were also very happy.

They followed behind Liu Yue and immediately talked about it, all of them sighed at Liu Yue's carefulness, and also sighed at Gao Qingxue's fate.

Gao Qingxue leaned on a warm chest, listening to them talking, her heart had come back to her senses, and then she was very shocked, how could the emperor know about his business? Could it be that Wu Zhong's brocade guard has another means to report to the emperor? But this seems impossible, listening to them, they came directly from Jingshi, Wu Zhong's side, no matter what, it was too late to deliver the news to Jingshi, right?

When she couldn't figure it out, she felt that the emperor seemed to be a little unpredictable, and she couldn't help but be in awe in her heart.

But soon, her mind turned back to her sisters who were imprisoned in the city, and she immediately became worried again.

And Liu Yue, with the help of his subordinates, rode on the war horse with Gao Qingxue in his arms, and then instructed them: "Go, go to the army, we have another errand to do!" ”

At this time, under the city, just as the Qin soldiers were about to rush up and launch a siege battle, they were surprised to find that the broken city gate was opened from the inside, and a large number of people rushed out.

Almost at the same time, many more people came out of the city.

The Qin soldiers outside the city, seeing this situation, couldn't help but be stunned when they looked at it.

Whether it was at the gate or at the head of the city, the people who appeared were bound with their hands behind their backs, and behind them, there was a tartar guard. Judging from their clothing, they are all Ming people. And among these people who were pushed out, there were both men and women.

Before the Ming soldiers could react, what was going on? And behold, at the gate of the city, the tartars who were guarding the people lifted up their swords in their hands, and smote them upon the people before them.

The screams rang out immediately, and the people who had been stabbed fell to the ground in pain, and for a while, the people did not die, but just lay on the ground and struggled. However, it can be seen that death is only a matter of time.

At the top of the city, the Tartars pushed the people in front of them so hard that they pushed them directly off the city.

Although the city wall of this county town is not high, it has a height no matter what. The people with their hands tied behind their backs were pushed down so roughly, and those who were better died directly on the ground. If your life is not good, your hands, feet, or neck are broken, you can only lie down under the wall and wail and struggle in pain.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of lives were wasted!

Seeing the scene in front of them, the soldiers of the Ming army were stunned at first, and then they were all angry. What do these Liaodong Tartars mean by so cruelty to the people?

Before they could figure it out, they saw another group of Ming people being pushed to the city by those Liaodong Tartars, and some of them were pushed out of the city gates. Then, I saw a shout from the city: "Listen to the Ming army outside the city, if you dare to attack the city, we will kill all the Ming people!" ”

After the words fell, Chen Weiquan, who finished shouting, turned his head to look at Du Du with a cruel look on his face, nodded and bowed, then turned his head again, and continued to shout with his milking strength: "If these Ming people die like this, it will be your harm." Even if you win, you will die, and the court will not let you go! ”

Since the appearance of the Ming people in the city, the Ming army has been quiet because of the sudden strangeness. Now except for those people who are crying and moaning, no one speaks, so Chen Weiquan's voice can clearly reach the ears of the Ming army who are about to attack the city.

At this time, all the soldiers of the Ming army understood the intention of building captives in the city. They are using the lives of the Ming people in the city as a threat, demanding that this side not attack the city!

At this moment, everyone was very angry. I've seen cold-blooded, but I've never seen such cold-blooded; I've seen shameless, but I've never seen such shameless! These Tartars, or are they not gentlemen, actually used such a method?

But although anger is anger, shame is shame, and the Tartars have used such a means, so what should they do on their side?

Almost all the soldiers of the Ming army turned their heads to look at where the handsome flag was.

Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, who originally relaxed and felt that they would be able to rescue hundreds of thousands of people immediately, turned blue all of a sudden. They also didn't expect that the Tartars would use this trick to stop them from attacking the city!

"Shameless!" At this time, Hong Chengchou, although he always pays attention to his image, can't help but scold with hatred.

Sun Chuanting's eyes stared at the city, and he said word by word: "The rise of the Tartars is really not a coincidence, it is really a coincidence!" ”

Both of them had to admit that this trick of the city Tartars was really effective against them.

These Tartars, as soon as they came up, directly killed a group of Ming people, and deliberately did not kill, so they let them wail there. This is to remind the outside of the city and the commander of the Ming army that they will not be soft at all, and they will definitely not just talk and scare and scare. If the Ming army really dares to attack the city, they will dare to take the Ming people out to block the guns and slaughter!

In fact, the Tartars did not use similar means. Whether it is inside or outside the pass, when the Tartars attack the Ming city, they will often use this trick to drive away the people of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming soldiers captured by them will attack the city, so as to break the fighting spirit of the soldiers defending the city.

Relatively speaking, in that case, the defenders have no choice, the main general is ruthless, as long as they come to the siege site to kill them, it is obviously a last resort, and there will not be too many people to care.

But at the moment, it's different, this is the main attack of the Ming army.

Once the Ming army attacked the city, if a large number of Ming people in the city died, everyone would blame their deaths on the head of the besieging Ming army. After all, you can choose not to attack. As long as the city is not attacked, these people can not die!

If the number of people was a little smaller, it might not be much. After all, in troubled times, life is as cheap as a dog, and how many people care about the lives and deaths of ordinary people?

But now there are about 200,000 people in the city! This is a huge number, although the lives of ordinary people are insignificant in this troubled era, but the lives of more than 200,000 people, then there is a huge weight!

As an official of the imperial court, if you "force" these 200,000 people to death, even the emperor can't afford such consequences!

Whether it is Hong Chengchou, who cherishes feathers, or Sun Chuanting, who can offend a large number of people under the pretext of the ancestral system, he does not have the courage to order the Ming army to continue to attack the city regardless of everything in front of him.

What's even more infuriating is that Du Du didn't want to give the Ming army time to think about it at all, so he directly ordered and killed a group of Ming people, and then pushed out the next batch of Ming people to the city, and at the same time put forward a condition to the Ming army outside the city: "Immediately return the remains of the Qing warriors, without delay!" ”

was pinched by the lifeline, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting glanced at each other, very helpless. If there is any further delay, the prisoners at the head of the city will not hesitate to kill people again.

The first rank is military merit, it is the reward of silver, it is rare to win a big victory, it is rare to get so many heads at one time, under such despicable means of the Tartars, but there is no way but to return them to the Tartars.

At this moment, the Ming army was so angry with the vileness of the Tartars in the city that they gritted their teeth, but they were really helpless. The military order was given, and it had to be given. And Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting also had to give such a military order, and they couldn't afford the consequences of batch after batch of Ming people being slaughtered in front of the two armies.

Hong Chengchou let out a long sigh, turned his head to Sun Chuanting and said, "Withdraw, I don't know what these black-hearted Tartars will ask for if you stay here!" ”

Sun Chuanting was also helpless, nodded and said, "I can only withdraw!" ”

At this time, a team of knights in Flying Fish suits came to the place where the flag was. Hong and Sun both noticed it, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, I don't know what happened to Jin Yiwei coming over at this time?

The Jinyi guards who came over this team were the team led by Liu Yue, and they had already seen what was happening in the city on the way to the Shuai Banner, and they were naturally very resentful of this.

Seeing the two coaches, Liu Yue took the initiative to ask: "What about the two adults now?" ”

The Jinyi Guards represent the emperor to some extent, and even if their military rank is low, under normal circumstances, no one will ignore them.

When Hong Chengchou heard this, he replied: "The lives of more than 200,000 people are at stake, you can't force them to death, you can't fight here!" ”

This is about to be withdrawn, Liu Yue didn't say much about it, but he still had something to do, so he said to Hong Chengchou: "My lord, the last general has the emperor's will, and please cooperate with the two adults!" ”

After finishing speaking, he made a request to Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting.

As soon as they heard this request, Hong and Sun couldn't help but look at each other, I don't know what the emperor is doing?

However, although it is not clear, since it is the emperor's will, it doesn't take much anyway, so I can only follow it.

So, before the whole army left, the soldiers of the Ming army suddenly shouted in unison in front of the city: "Talk to yourself, talk to yourself......"

Nearly 30,000 Ming troops shouted in unison, and even the ants hiding in the ant hole could probably hear it.

After shouting, the Ming army withdrew.

At the head of the city, Du Du, who was proud, was stunned when he heard it, and muttered to himself? What does that mean? Could it be that they are gone, allowing themselves to talk to themselves here?

Others can't figure it out, and they can't figure out what the Ming army means when he leaves?

Inside and outside the city, only Wu Zhong, a hundred households in Jinyiwei, heard it, and immediately understood, this is the emperor reminding himself, don't send news again, just talk to yourself!

Although this will is really incredible, the emperor actually emphasized again that it can only be done in accordance with the will!
