Chapter 40 - Madness

Zhao Fan glanced at Qiao Xinchao in some surprise, and said slowly, "Why not?" ”

Qiao Xinchao felt the murderous aura on Zhao Fan's body, wiped his cold sweat and said, "Lord Wang, the villain is bold, I don't know what the prince has plans for the future?" ”

Zhao Fan said in a deep voice, "What does this have to do with whether you can kill these people?" ”

"If the prince wants to make a big deal, then these people can't be killed." Qiao Xinchao paused, and said with some smugness, "If you don't kill these people and gather their soldiers and horses, maybe the prince can really get a prince to play, but I don't know." ”

Qiao Xinchao secretly slandered in his heart, just you little thieves, either rebels or thieves, and you still call yourself the prince, and I don't know which pheasant prince it is.

"Oh? Is the king? Zhao Fan looked at Qiao Xinchao with some amusement, and said a little jokingly, "The prince is indeed quite interesting, but do you know who I am?" ”

"The villain doesn't know." Qiao Xinchao thought with some disdain, aren't you just a thief leader? Who else can it be, it is difficult to be a relative of the emperor and the country.

"Bold, what you are in front of is the current holy brother, the governor of Youzhou, and the king of Shou." Scar glanced at Qiao Xinchao strangely, and said sadly, "You are very bold, you actually want to make a prince for our prince to play with." ”

"The villain deserves to die, he has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, the prince atons for his sins, atonements!" Qiao Xinchao's face changed drastically, and he couldn't wait to slap himself twice, what to do with his nosy.

Zhao Fan said with some amusement, "Okay, what you said also makes some sense, since you said not to kill, then don't kill." ”

"Lord Wang, you listen to me first," Qiao Xinchao secretly glanced at Zhao Fan, seeing that Zhao Fan really didn't seem to be angry, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "These people can neither kill all of them, nor can they kill none of them." ”

The generals of the Great Qi Army, who were pressed by the Shenwu Army, had just relaxed, and when they heard this, they couldn't help but change their faces again, and their eyes when they looked at Qiao Xinchao also became unkind.

"Why is that?" Zhao Fan said with some puzzlement, could it be that this product wants to take this opportunity to eliminate dissidents? If that's the case, then most likely this person won't be able to stay.

"Lord Wang!" Qiao Xinchao's eyes suddenly turned red, and he knelt down and gave Zhao Fan a big salute, "Lord Wang, these people are doing evil, in order to raise military rations, they actually killed all the men, women and children in my village and made them into salt corpses, and asked the prince to make decisions for me." ”

"Pity my students, some of them are still babbling, what's wrong with them? Why treat them like that? The more excited Qiao Xinyue said, the more a man in his thirties burst into tears.

"Lord Wang, when the soldiers were cleaning the battlefield just now, they did find some in the camp... A few... Some dry rations for the march. The bearded man frowned, and said with some annoyance, "Lord Wang, what Lao Qiao said is right, these people should be killed." ”

"Lord, the concubine has also heard about this person's dried meat, but she didn't expect the rumors to be true." Joey's face turned red with anger, and he waved his pink fist twice fiercely and said, "Lord Wang, if we meet these people when we are in the mountain village, I am afraid it will be difficult to die well." ”

Zhao Fan only felt that his heart sank, although he was more or less familiar with this history, but when everything really happened in front of him, it was different.

"The surname Qiao, don't be ignorant, if it weren't for our brothers, you would have become a ration for your brothers. What's more, in this year of war and chaos, the people are easy to cannibalism, they can all eat, why can't we eat, the soldiers can't eat, what to use to protect the family and defend the country? A strong man with a horizontal face struggled a few times and said unconvinced.

"Do you know what a soldier is?" Zhao Fan glanced at the strong man coldly and said, "The duty of a soldier is to consolidate national defense, resist aggression, defend the country, and defend the people, you are also worthy of being called a soldier?" A soldier who feeds the people with hunger is also worthy of being called a soldier? ”

"Scar, you can deal with it." Zhao Fan didn't say anything more, then took Joey and left the courtyard, and there were bursts of scolding and screams from behind, as well as Qiao Xinchao's grateful.

"Thank you, Lord Wang, avenge the people of my Hujia Village, and avenge the people of the world!"

……

Everything went unusually well, Qiao Xinchao led the beard, and with the remaining generals of the Great Qi Army, he quickly gathered up the remnants of the city, and occasionally some of them wanted to resist, but they were quickly wiped out by the soldiers of the Shenwu Army.

But when Zhao Fan opened the warehouse in the city under the leadership of Qiao Xinchao, his face was dark, in addition to a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, the most in the warehouse was the so-called marching dry food.

It's not that Zhao Fan hasn't heard of this kind of thing of using human flesh as military food, but he has heard that when the rows of warehouses are full of salt corpses, when they are displayed in front of Zhao Fan like this, it is another matter.

Zhao Fan deeply understands that this era is so heartbroken, and the people of this era are so devoid of conscience!

Zhao Fan, who has the thinking of the 21st century, is simply incomprehensible to this kind of inhumane thing, and even more unbearable.

Zhao Fan was angry, but he couldn't find any way to vent, so he could only order the Great Qi Army involved in this matter to be executed, and secretly resolved in his heart that he would take off the head of Qin Zongquan, an old boy, and kick it as a ball, so as to comfort the souls of these miserable people.

Soon, the soldiers who had participated in the capture and manufacture of salt corpses in the army were all pulled out one by one under Qiao Xinchao's identification, and their heads were cut off and hung on the city wall of Luoyang City, which can be regarded as an explanation for the people who died in vain, and all the soldiers who had been stained with the blood of innocent people on their hands were also put on death row by Zhao Fan, waiting for the fate of being slaughtered.

The remaining 3,000 descending troops, plus two hundred elite Shenwu Army soldiers, under the leadership of Scar and Beard, formed two new armies, the Shenji Battalion and the Shenyong Battalion, while the original Shenwu Army formed the Guards Battalion under the leadership of Xu Ergou.

However, it is worth mentioning that because the name Xu Ergou is really not good, Zhao Fan recited his bravery again, and gave him the name Xu Yong, which can be regarded as a rare honor.

Everything seemed to be in order, and the fire was quickly extinguished with the help of several major families in the city, and Luoyang City returned to calm again, leaving only the unwashed blood on the streets and the green smoke rising from all corners of the city, witnessing what had happened.

And now Zhao Fan also has to face a difficult choice, that is, whether to go or stay.

If he stays, will he be able to hold Luoyang City under the attack of Qin Zongquan, but if he leaves, then where should he go?

One thing is for sure, that is, he must not go back to find Xizong, otherwise everything will return to the original trajectory, Xizong died of illness, and he became the emperor with the support of the eunuchs and became the last king of the Tang Dynasty......
