Chapter 229: River Festival

After two days of peace, the people gradually felt at ease, and it seems that they will sacrifice to the river god every year in the future, so as to bless the wind and rain.

It's a pity that they were happy too early, and several night patrol soldiers died in Dingxiang City at night, all of whom were dug out of their hearts, and the people of Dingxiang City were in turmoil for a while, not to mention at night, but no one went to the street during the day.

Originally, this was at most a civil riot, and it couldn't mess up the barracks, but something happened in the barracks, a general who commanded 10,000 people was gouged out by a monster in the barracks, and when his subordinates found out, they all bombed the camp, and 10,000 people went out all over the world to arrest people.

At this time, the monster that came and went without a trace spread in the barracks, and the news reached Jieli, who didn't believe in the monster at all, and sent people to catch the monster in the river, but the boat capsized, and the generals were buried in the belly of the fish.

A survivor reported to Jieli and said: "There is a beast, with a body of one zhang, sharp limbs, a mouth full of sharp teeth, poisonous, it is a cannibal, its voice is like a baby's cry, it comes and goes without a trace, and it is invincible." ”

Jieli was shocked, what if the monsters that came and went without a trace came to the office to eat themselves?

Immediately ordered that boys and girls enter the place to give the river god a rest, so that the river god would rest in peace and not disturb the four people.

Since he screams like a child, he must want to eat the child, and offering him a boy or a girl will definitely make the river calm down.

Jieli's heroism has long been polished, and his bloated belly and loose waist and legs all show that he has fallen into extravagance.

He just said casually, but eighteen children were sunk in the river, and who knows whether they were drowned or eaten by fish?

After the child was sacrificed to the river, the monsters still went around digging people's hearts, there were Turkic Han officials, and there were also people in the military camp, as long as there was negligence, even the last thatched house could die on the thatched pit, just like a pair of evil eyes staring at you all the time, as long as you have no protection, they will pounce out and dig out your heart.

Jieli was shocked because he had already found the footprints of monsters outside his office several times, and even one of them was on the wall, apparently trying to sign it.

He panicked and ordered another forty-nine children to be sacrificed, to make sure that the river god was peaceful, and the sacrifice should be sincere, and he may not have specially sent a Hanchen to preside over the ceremony, hoping to satisfy the river god with the help of Zhou Zheng's etiquette.

Forty-nine children were washed and cleaned, and transported by boat to the middle of the river to sink, and all the crying children! In the end, the priest couldn't hold the child anymore, he knew this child, the youngest son of the farmer who usually sent goat's milk to his family, and he would sweetly call him the priest when he saw him on weekdays.

But this was beyond his control, and with his eyes closed in the child's wailing, he threw the child whose hands and feet were tied into the river, and when he opened his eyes, only a few large bubbles were left in the river.

The priest crouched down and stretched out his hand to break a blister, and suddenly he cried out, what kind of evil are you making?

No matter how unbearable it was, at last forty-nine children sank to the bottom, and the priest cried, and the last one jumped into the river of broken ice.

The riverbank was silent, everyone was silent, and dozens of children were gone?

"We're not going to die well, are we?"

In a corner of the riverbank, one soldier spoke sadly in Chinese, and the other soldier nodded and did not speak, he had no intention of returning alive. Hou Ye said that war is the business of soldiers, but they killed sixty or seventy children in order to win.

"You two speak Chinese, aren't you afraid of being known to be fine?" A Turkic squad leader grabbed the two of them by the neck and whispered in Turkic.

The two soldiers shrunk their necks, smiled and begged for mercy in Turkic words, each word was straight and round, and no one would doubt that they were native-born Turks.

"They are all Turkic cubs, don't feel guilty for them, put away your women's kindness. The boss has already sent our credit to Shuofang, along with the next plan, and when we go back, it will be just around the corner to be promoted. Next, it's time to create their civil strife, Jieli has lost the hearts of the people, Dingxiang City needs heroes, and it's time for heroes to stand up. ”

The person dressed as the captain said in cold blood, in his opinion, the Turks should die, if they don't die now, will they come to Datang to fight the grass valley with knives and guns more than ten years later?

The other two nodded, the three of them were the most Turkic-like warriors in the team, so the Turkic dialect was practiced, and after a little dress, they looked no different from the Turks, and this is how they could blend into the Turkic army.

Two days later, a Turkic rebel revolted, and he killed Shangguan, declaring that Jieli was unreasonable, treating the Hu people as first-class and the Han as second-class, while his own people became the lowest, only one level higher than the slaves.

He has been instructed by the Celestial Wolf God to lead the people to overthrow the tyranny of Jieli and restore the glory of the descendants of the Wolf God.

If it were normal, no one would follow the rebellion at all, but now the Turks are worried about internal and external troubles, Jieli is still killing people to the grass, and the herdsmen have long been rumoring that the Turks are going to change the world, plus Jieli killed so many children some time ago, there are actually many people who responded to the uprising, and in a short period of time, the team of dozens of people has expanded to more than 2,000 people.

Intentionally or unintentionally, more than 2,000 people killed officials and grabbed grain, and actually occupied the main road between Dingxiang and Shuozhou. This time was like asking for Jieli's life, he sent a large army to attack several times, and both sides suffered heavy casualties, and they were still deadlocked.

When the news reached Shuofang, Li Jing and the others couldn't close their mouths with their mouths wide open, and when they looked at Meng Baolai again, their eyes were completely different. No wonder Cai Cong's Li Shimin pet, he didn't come in person, but his subordinates made such a great contribution.

A hundred people made the people of Dingxiang City panic, and the scouts of the Tang Dynasty circled around Dingxiang City a few times, but they didn't even see a Turkic scout, and that's it, now they are actually rebelling with the Turks, and they also occupy the fortress position.

Could it be that all those wolf-like Turks have become sheep now? Li Jing thought in disbelief.

Chang Ban swallowed his saliva as he looked at the battle report, damn it, he had been with the army for half his life, and he had never seen such a meritorious service. How should this battle be calculated? In the past, it was calculated by the head, but this time there were a lot of deaths, and the key was that they killed each other under the scheme, and the rebels and Jieli were counted as meritorious?

His head is big, there is no precedent for this, and it seems that he still has to report to His Majesty for decision.

"Bora, this time the general manager knows what it means to be the best in the world, and your methods of training the new army really make me admire, admire."

Li Jing said with a smile, Baolai smiled reservedly, and said with a look of reverence: "How dare the last general take credit, if it were not for His Majesty's holy grace and the cultivation of the Hou Ye, I would still be a captain waiting for death in the left guard today." What's more, to this day, a certain person is not the most powerful person in the new army. ”
