However, it is said that Yu Ban and Zhou Tai led 20,000 land and water troops around the clock, and it only took three days to land at Miluo Lake on the edge of Luoxian County. Although there is a waterway to Changsha, but you need to go upstream, you also need to detour a long way, and the straight-line distance from Luoxian to Changsha is only about half of the waterway, and there are no large towns along the way to block the advance of the army.

Yu Ban and the others arrived outside Luoxian City, but found that the city gate was wide open, and the dark red blood stains and corpses at the city gate indicated that there had just been a fierce battle here not long ago, and the strange thing was that the dead people were not dressed as Han soldiers.

Yu Ban and Zhou Tai couldn't help but look at each other.

"Wen Ze, what do you mean?" Zhou Tai asked.

After thinking about it, Yu Ban said: "It seems that the chaos in Changsha has affected this place, you look at those corpses, it is obvious that it should be the outfits of some local powerful private soldiers, it may be that these heroes killed the local county commander, and then for some reason there was infighting!" ”

"It can't be a ruse, right?" Zhou Tai hesitated.

"Probably not, we came very suddenly, and the city shouldn't have gotten any news before. And you see the blood at the city gate, at least two days ago, when we had just left the police, unless the people in the city will know the prophet, there will be no tricks! ”

"Makes sense, so let's go in now?" Zhou Taidao.

Yu Ban hurriedly said: "Youping, although it is unlikely that there will be an ambush, but in case of accidents, I will bring people in, you stay, your naval army is not very suitable for fighting in the city, and it is easier to deal with the danger even if the infantry enters!" ”

Zhou Tai understood the truth of what Yu Ban said, so he said: "Okay, I'll give you a raid outside the city, if there is danger, I will immediately bring someone to respond!" ”

"Good!" Yu Ban nodded, and with a greeting, the 10,000-strong army immediately surrounded Luo County, and then cautiously entered the city from the four cities in the southeast, northwest, and north.

In fact, Yu Ban's caution is superfluous. As soon as I stepped into the city, what I saw was shocking, hundreds of people fell in pools of blood, and many of the victims were brutally dismembered, which was obviously not an enemy killed on the battlefield, but was deliberately tortured and killed; As a woman, the end is even more tragic, almost all women are disheveled, and even die naked; Several of the dogs who were guarding the house had no way to feed them, and hunger forced them back to their nature, and they hissed at the corpse of a child who looked no more than six or seven years old, who might have fed them himself not long ago and played with them......

On the streets, the doors and windows of all the houses were opened by brute force, and people could be seen hacked to death in their homes, and the furnishings in the houses were also destroyed in a mess......

"Vomit...... "Even soldiers who are accustomed to seeing life and death can't help but vomit when they see the blood and corpses all over the city."......

Yu Ban looked at a female corpse in front of her, this woman seemed to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, she was in the prime of her life, she was dying in the sun, she seemed to be biting a piece of flesh in her mouth, with a weird smile on her face, and her body was brutally cut off...... Yu Ban didn't dare to imagine what happened to the woman's body, he untied the big stab on his shoulder, carefully covered the woman's body, and then said coldly: "Keep going!" ”

The soldiers behind learned from Yu Ban, took off their clothes and armor, and covered up all the female corpses they saw along the way.

On this day, Yu Ban surrounded a group of Haoqiang and the family soldiers led by them in the city, with a total number of about 3,000 people. Yu Ban did not accept their surrender, and none of the 3,000 people were spared, and he personally led people to kill them one by one. Afterwards, all the soldiers who participated in the war declared in unison that these people refused to surrender and resisted desperately.

There were about 30,000 officers and soldiers in Luoxian County, but after this civil strife, there were only 4,000 survivors, most of whom were women, then children and the elderly, and less than 100 strong men!

After Yu Ban left a thousand soldiers to help the people bury their relatives and neighbors, he continued to advance with Zhou Tai. Behind them, almost all the surviving people in Luo County came to see them off, and the people who survived the catastrophe were grateful to be forbidden, if they didn't arrive in time, these people would probably follow in the footsteps of the people around them.

When Yu Ban and the others left, the people thought of their relatives who had died, and they all cried with sorrow, and the soldiers did not dare to look back, wiping their tears and continuing to move forward. Far away, the sound of crying still clearly reached the ears of the soldiers, and perhaps, these cries will remain in their memories forever......

In order to prevent Luoxian from accidentally appearing in Linxiang and other cities, all the soldiers almost trotted forward despite fatigue.

A day later, Yu Ban and Zhou Tai led their troops to Linxiang City. The soldiers were already very tired, but they automatically asked Yu Ban and Zhou Tai to fight, without resting or eating, and immediately attacked the city, they just wanted to capture Linxiang as soon as possible, and they just wanted the people in the city to die less......

Yu Ban and Zhou Tai did not refuse the soldiers' request to fight, and the soldiers who took the lead launched an attack together.

Linxiang City is a group of dragons without a leader at this time, more than a dozen heroes restrain each other, intrigues, Yu Ban and others are even attacking each other when they arrive, and when the strong private soldiers are facing ordinary people, they are naturally like killing gods, but in the face of the regular army, they can be dwarfed, in the face of the elite Yizhou army with the same hatred of the enemy, where do these private soldiers dare to commit murder? Wherever the Yizhou army went, these private soldiers suddenly laid down their weapons in groups, and the city of Xiangcheng, which was the Han of Changsha County, was conquered in one fell swoop!

Fortunately, the tragedy in Luo County was not repeated in Linxiang. There was indeed infighting after the heroes in the city killed Su Dai, but their knowledge was comparable to that of the heroes of Fei Luo County, and they also had great ambitions, hoping to win the position of Taishou. It is precisely because they are plotting to be too guarded that they did not let their people slaughter the city, if they kill all the people, who will they lead when they become the guard?

Even so, some stragglers still ignored the warnings of their masters and burned, killed, robbed and raped in the city, doing all kinds of evil. According to statistics, there are more than 1,300 people killed in Linxiang City, and the number of women who have been insulted will only be greater, but no one has touched the scars of these poor people, so this number has not been counted.

After Yu Ban and Zhou Tai successfully captured Linxiang, they immediately issued a proclamation to calm the people, and at the same time sent soldiers to capture the four counties of Xiajun, Yiyang, Xiangnan and Liling.

Since landing in Luo County, it took only four days for Yu Ban and Zhou Tai to take all the cities controlled by the former Su Dynasty into their hands.

Knowing that a total of nearly 50,000 innocent people died tragically, Yu Ban and Zhou Tai were eager to cut down all the more than 15,000 soldiers captured (the total number of the original Changsha soldiers and Haoqiang's private soldiers), but the discipline of the Yizhou army was strict, and the killing of prisoners was almost as serious as escaping, and the two could only think about it in their hearts. However, although it is impossible to kill, there is no limit to the punishment of hard labor. As a result, more than 15,000 people were escorted by swords and guns to bury the people, rebuild their homes for the surviving people, build city defenses, and clean up the rivers......

Every day they work for up to seven or eight hours, doing heavy work and no decent food, this is Zhou Tai's proposal, he used his experience when he was the king of the mountain to tell Yu Ban, you can't let these people be full, these people are full of food and quasi-trouble, these people have more than 15,000 people, the number is almost the same as them, and they are still responsible for the safety of a large area, the number of troops available to watch and detain these people is only thousands, once these people are fed, the trouble can not be suppressed. Yu Ban understood that Zhou Tai deliberately wanted to let these people suffer some sins in order to comfort the victims, and he himself had the same idea, so he deeply agreed with Zhou Tai's opinion and thought it was very reasonable. In order to ensure the stability of Changsha, these people can only get two bowls of thin porridge every day, which can almost see the bottom of the bowl. I'm sorry, the people of Changsha were almost killed, where are there still people selling vegetables? Don't want to eat? Then don't eat it, anyway, there is not much food in Changsha that has been harmed by you, and if you don't eat it, you can help the local people!

After a month of hard labor, more than 800 people died for some reason. It wasn't until Liu Zhang's intervention that the situation of these people improved. However, Liu Zhang didn't blame Yu Ban and Zhou Tai afterwards, if he had brought the troops here, he might not have been able to help but order them all to be cut down!

Later, Liu Zhang conducted a public trial, asked the survivors to testify, and once it was proved that the crime was enough to be beheaded, he was immediately executed without mercy. As a result, more than 2,000 people were proven to be full of evil and had their heads cut off. Liu Zhang knew that many of the remaining people were actually enough to be beheaded, but the people could not provide enough evidence to let them escape.

Generally speaking, Liu Zhang's treatment of prisoners was to select their elites to be incorporated into his army, but none of these people captured in Changsha remained, and all of them were punished with hard labor ranging from three to thirty years. Thirty years later, when the last man was released from hard labor, some people calculated that more than 4,330 people had died during their service.
