Taiyuan County County Pengze, the city gate is closed, the people in the city are panicked, there are Zhou army rangers galloping outside the city, and there are many Zhou army warships cruising on the river in the north of the city, yesterday Jiangzhou Prefecture was lost, and now it is the turn of Peng Ze to be unlucky. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
In the official office, Taiyuan County's Taishou Ma Ying and the adjutants gathered together and looked at the Zhou army's persuasion to surrender, the content on it was very simple, in a nutshell, Wang Shi (Zhou army) had occupied Huangkou, and Peng Ze would slaughter the city if he did not surrender.
The letter of persuasion was stamped with the official seal, and the seals of the Jiangzhou Thorn History, Xunyang Taishou, and King Yongjia were all on it.
This means that Huangkou has really fallen, and how long has it been since the Zhou army invaded the south!
Ma Ying was shocked in his heart, he knew that Jiangzhou had always been an important place for Jiangzhou defense, and he also knew that the new Jiangzhou Assassin Shi and Yongjia King Chen Yan had been actively preparing for the war, and he thought that he would be able to resist for more than a month, but the Zhou army broke through the mouth in a few days, so what else to fight?
Putting down the letter of persuasion, he looked at the person in front of him who delivered the book, this is a building owner of the Lukou garrison, surnamed Lu, he recognizes, so the credibility of what the other party said is still very large.
"The Northern Captives have captured Huangkou? How can it be so fast? ”
"The Zhou army is menacing, Huangkou has become a lonely city, Huang Sima and Lu Taishou opened the door and surrendered in order to protect the people in the city."
"Keeping the people?" Ma Cheng mocked, he didn't think that his superiors and colleagues would give priority to the people, "So after the northern captives entered the city, the people in the city were saved?" ”
"Uh, the Zhou army slaughtered the city." Lord Lu replied 'truthfully'.
"Huh? You... What did you say? Ma Ying and the adjutant were shocked when they heard this, they didn't think that the Zhou army would not commit any crimes after entering the city, after all, it is said that the one-legged bronze man Yuwenwen was very cruel, but since the defenders opened the door to dedicate the city, why would they suffer such a misfortune?
Lord Lu desperately squeezed out a few tears, trying to recall the lines that he had memorized all night, this was something arranged for him by the one-legged bronze man, brewed his emotions for a while, and began to cry about everything that happened in the city yesterday.
The Zhou army besieged the city, and released the words to say that surrender can save your life, and if you don't surrender, you will slaughter the city, Jiangzhou Sima Huang Si, Xunyang Taishou Lu Zhongrong saw that the enemy army was strong, and after weighing the pros and cons, he opened the door and surrendered, but Jiangzhou Assassin Shi, Yongjia Wang Chen Yan swore not to surrender, led a part of the officials and generals to resist, and fought with the Zhou army in the city.
Although Chen Yan led the soldiers to resist hard, but in the end they were defeated and captured, and the commander of the Zhou army, Yuwen Wen, saw that his subordinates suffered heavy casualties, and then ordered the slaughter of the city, except for Huang Si, Lu Zhongrong and others who surrendered at the beginning and their subordinates and families, the people in the city were slaughtered.
When the lines were memorized here, Lord Lu was already sweating profusely, but in the eyes of Ma Ying and others, his appearance was because he had witnessed the tragedy in the world, so he would behave like this in retrospect, and he was forced to urge him to continue talking.
"Many folk girls were ravaged, and after being humiliated by the Bei captives on the street, they threw themselves into the well or committed suicide by throwing themselves into the well, and their parents, husbands, and brothers cried and grabbed the ground, and the Zhou soldiers who were inferior to the beasts fought hard, and were killed countless times by random arrows..."
"The city is now full of corpses, like a slaughterhouse, and rivers of blood are flowing..."
"The worst thing is that the female dependents of those officials who refused to surrender were dragged into the barracks, and after being ravaged all night, they were not human, and the young sons of many officials and generals were disemboweled by the Zhou soldiers, or put into the cauldron in front of them to cook alive, and when the five were matured, they were cut off with a sharp knife for the one-legged bronze man to eat..."
Lu Zhen's recitation of the lines has reached the limit, and the tears are almost squeezed out, but last night Yu Wenwen's ill-intentioned smile came to mind again, and he didn't dare to joke with his wife and children in the mouth, so he could only hold on and cry.
The 'blood and tears accusation' made Ma Ying and the others feel cold all over their bodies, they only heard that the one-legged bronze man Yuwen Wen was cruel, but they didn't expect it to be so cruel: he really slaughtered the city and ate human flesh!
If the lord of Lu Qi insisted that the Zhou army had good military discipline in the city and that the people welcomed him or something, Ma Ying would not believe it at all, but what is happening in Huangkou City now is a sensational atrocity.
"Lord Lu, that... What about Huang Changshi and Lu Taishou? ”
"They? They opened the city, and a large group of their own people were safe and sound, but the people of the city were all plagued by them! ”
Speaking of this, Lord Lu did his best, kowtowed and cried: "Mansion Jun!! Lu's wife and children were trapped in the city, so they had to surrender on their knees, and Ma Taishou must now stick to Peng Ze, wait for the imperial army to arrive, recover Huangkou, and avenge the people in the city! ”
'Even if you kill the whole family for Beiyu, it has nothing to do with me!' Ma Ying complained bitterly in his heart, swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and pretended to fix the crown of his hair easily, but in fact, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead without a trace, signaled left and right to step forward, and helped the lord of the Lu Mansion to go down to rest.
"Everyone has read the letter of persuasion, and they have heard the words of Lord Lu Xuan, what do you think, tell me."
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, no one dares to be the first to speak, in fact, they all think the same in their hearts: the one-legged bronze man is too cruel, but it's good to keep some credit, Huang Sima and Lu Taishou are okay after surrendering, and the whole family who resists is dead, anyway, Peng Ze can't keep it, it's better to...
Surrender is ugly, but saving the lives of themselves and their families is the most important thing, no one wants their wives and daughters to be dragged into the barracks and ravaged to the point of being inhuman, nor do they want their sons to be disemboweled, or cooked alive, and eaten by one-legged bronze men.
Besides, the official family is drunk and dreams of death every day in Jiankang, even if I am a small official who sacrifices his life for the country here, I am afraid that the official family will not shed a single tear, right?
I think so, but no one dares to speak first, I'm afraid that Ma Ying, who can be the master, is bent on being a loyal minister, and when he hears the words, he will be angry and let people pull him out and cut it, who will talk about this grievance?
No one spoke, the atmosphere was a little awkward, but the county was still good at observing words and colors, and seeing the restless appearance of the horse, he said bitterly: "The prince, the lower officials think that in order to protect the people in the city, or... Let's open the door and surrender. ”
Someone gave a step, and Ma Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, but his face was not obvious: "Ah... Yes... What do you think? ”
"Fujun! For the sake of the people, or... Surrender..."
Hit it off, everyone present was frightened by the tragic situation said by the lord of Lu Building, no one dared to think of anything to defend the city and be loyal to the country, just when everyone was discussing how to surrender would be more decent, a soldier ran in in a panic:
"Fujun! Many of the northern captives came to the outside of the city and shouted to us, saying that if we did not open the door and surrender immediately, we would slaughter the city after it was broken! ”
"You can't slaughter... Quick, put the drop up! Let the people on the city not let go of their arrows! ”
Ma Ying was so nervous when he heard this, and the other adjutants were also frightened, they didn't want to be killed by the one-legged bronze man, so the surrender could not be delayed any longer.
"Prepare the horses! The official personally went to open the city gate, a few of you, go to the key places in the city to watch, don't let anyone who has been plagued come to chaos, whoever angers the Zhou army will deserve to die for the whole family! ”
