Chapter 322: Chaos
After a little inquiry, he knew that among the hundreds of people gathered again on the side of General Ridge, how many of them were released, and the murderer Zheng Xiu couldn't count them, but what he did was right, at this time, the people who were released back could still only be temporarily isolated.
And what worries Xi Maijun and the others the most now is what the other party is doing to these captives. Having said that, they no longer took it lightly, and hurriedly summoned several captives who had been brought to the island to make the most detailed inquiries about the whole situation.
There was still a vast rain curtain outside the council hall, and the inquiry was carried out for several hours, but in the afternoon, a soldier came to report that someone had rushed back on a fast horse in such a heavy rain, and was stopped by the soldiers of the cottage, and the other party also said that there was something to report to the leaders.
When the man was brought up, the questioning in the council chamber continued, and everyone's spirits began to be a little numb, and when the man was asked to reply, the man was also released, according to him, he thought that the situation was serious, and grabbed a fast horse and came back as soon as possible to report the whole thing.
The crowd had already questioned the other people several times, including the more than 1,000 captives who had been released, including all the interrogation processes, and what Hao Jingcheng said. Several soldiers were still a little hesitant about these words, until Xi Maijun and the others lost their temper, they finally said these words as they were, and Xi Maijun and the others could also understand the weight of those words.
"I'm here, can you catch it?"
It can almost be said that the terrifying image of the other party, with these words, almost turned into a physical entity and appeared face to face in front of everyone. Because they can almost already see the seriousness of the words, and the consequences that can lead to them.
Among the more than 1,000 people, more than 500 people have been captured twice by the other side, plus the other party's record of taking the rebels from their peak state in three days, it is impossible to estimate how many people will feel the threat of the other party this time.
Xi Maijun's voice was dry, and at this time, he remembered some things again, and hurriedly said: "Let the cottage be on guard, check ...... Check how many people are still taking advantage of the heavy rain to return to the mountain......"
After some more inquiry, Li Lei got up and walked out of the conference hall without a word, the rain on the eaves drifted over, and he walked forward holding on to the wall.
Li Lei whispered in the rain: "A certain life is bright and upright, he has not done anything that is sorry for his conscience, and he treats his brothers as his own brothers, why did he become what he is now......
"It's going to ...... This is going to kill people! Li Lei suppressed his throat and roared angrily in a low voice, originally thought that he could recover the Tang Dynasty, as a descendant of Li Tang, this has always been his dream, but now it seems that this dream has become very far away.
The moonlight shines on the earth, the rebels' cottage, at this time is like a city trapped by huge water, people's hearts are flowing, more than 1,000 people who were released in the barracks are also surrounding this city, making their own choices, a person who returned to Shuize at night was intercepted, or was investigated and cleaned up, and there are many people, but they have been hidden in the darkness of the cottage, and one by one, the malice is infected.
This time, it was not just a few cracks in the ice, if anyone could see the whole situation, they would feel that the fortress belonging to the rebels had begun from this moment, before it was attacked, because of these cracks gradually splitting, peeling away, and collapsing.
The collapse of the rebel army as a whole, initially like a stream of underwater, then rapidly expands and expands, and the whole process does not last long, and even before many people can fully understand the truth of the situation, the cruel reality is already in front of everyone's eyes.
That afternoon, Xi Maijun and the others learned about what was happening on the other side, and the rumors had actually quietly spread above the rebels, secretly eroding the dark side of people's hearts, and more than a dozen people who sneaked into the rebels at night were intercepted, and it is impossible to estimate how many people have not been intercepted, or have sneaked into the cottage through various relationships.
From the beginning to the end of the battle of Langya Ridge, the reason for the other party's killing, the terrible means and the resoluteness of the will, in the next few days, it was irrepressibly spread among the rebels.
In the battle of Langya Ridge, the more than 500 people who were released chose to wait and see at most, but this time, the people who really chose to stand in line because of the fear in their hearts were probably more than half.
Those who went to Jiangjunling and took the initiative to choose to be honest or self-exposed, are only a minority among these people.
In these years, people who can mix in the green forest, or come out for hundreds of miles to seek a thing, among most ordinary people, belong to the category of lively minds, this time it doesn't matter if they don't descend, only to ensure that their identities are hidden, is the perfect strategy to attack and retreat.
The other party lifted the siege of Langya Ridge in three days, if he really hit the rebels, could he really run to the end?
These people who choose to wait and see are actually a breeding ground for betrayal, and as a powerless individual, they can only sneak back to the rebels first, even if they don't do anything bad, they can arrange their families in advance.
And once they were intercepted and realized that they might be stabbed above, these people could only desperately shout injustice, and at the same time exaggerate the experience of the Battle of Langya Ridge, the horror of the other party, and the helplessness of their own plans.
"We didn't betray the rebels, we just wanted to come back early, we didn't want to be suspicious, so we had to come back secretly, otherwise what else could we do......"
These people all have relatives and friends in the rebels, and the whole situation is said that friends and brothers can't let them go, but in a sense, they can only understand what they are doing.
The next day, it is said that there were more brothers who came back secretly, but the number of intercepted brothers was less.
It is said that some of the middle-level leaders were sympathetic and secretly let them go.
Among the more than 1,000 people who were released, those who had carefully considered and chosen their positions in advance, and when they returned to the rebels, they saw this situation even more clearly, and only when the situation became more chaotic could they have a way to live, and the frequency of secretly and privately telling the people around them about things and rumors was gradually increasing.
In the first two or three days, the troubles didn't stop there.
In the area of General Ridge, the rebel soldiers who had been gathered because they had fallen behind were mixed with the prisoners who had been released, and when they realized the fact that they had been isolated, people's hearts began to waver.
Many of them are still loyal to the rebels and have taken the initiative to come and explain the situation, but their families are also on the rebels, and if they are isolated and suspicious, what is the matter?
