Chapter Forty-Seven: Blinding
As the sun sets, the city is crying, the air is burning, burning, killing and looting, the capital of Linyi turned into a sea of fire, and in the rolling heat wave, the cries and howls converged into waves, beating the hearts of the living. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
On the street, a large group of soldiers of the Tiger Forest Army walked forward, and there was a mess along the way, whether it was a high-walled compound or a thatched house, there were fires and smoke everywhere, and dead people were lying on the side of the road.
The slang soldiers had a good harvest, with colorful cloth wrapped around their waists, and some yellow and white things were exposed inside, and they carried women on their shoulders, livestock in their hands, and many chickens and ducks hanging on their spears, and walked out of the houses happily.
Seeing the officers and soldiers passing in front of them with murderous spirit, many people couldn't help but cringe, but seeing that the officers and soldiers did not have the slightest intention of hindering them, they were relieved and walked towards the camp outside the city in groups with the booty.
The officials and soldiers made a promise, saying that after the city was broken, many slang soldiers were suspicious, and now they all tasted the sweetness, many people not only opened meat but also grabbed women, thinking that not only today, but also every night in the future, everyone smiled sincerely.
In the procession, Wang Hao looked at the scene on both sides of the road, there was no emotional fluctuation about the burning, killing and looting that had been or was being staged, the war was like this, after the city was broken, the fate of the residents completely depended on the mood of the enemy commander.
Obviously, Yuwenwen was in a bad mood, not because he looked at the stone tablet before entering the city, but because of the decision he made when he made a plan to raid Dianchong at the beginning, in order to stabilize the situation in Jiaozhou as soon as possible, Yuwenwen wanted to surprise Lin Yiguo.
The surprise was the slaughter of the city, and Yu Wenwen, who has always had a good reputation, actually decided to slaughter the city, which surprised Wang Fei.
In Anzhou Prefecture, Song Shou, he and Wang Meng served as staff officers, and made suggestions for Yuwenwen's raid, and taking the sea route was the same idea of the three of them, but they had different views on how to act after breaking the city.
As a general, it is impossible for Wang Meng to suggest that Yuwenwen slaughter the city, because in any case, slaughtering the city after breaking through the enemy's capital will stain the reputation of the commander, and the political enemies of the DPRK and China will also find an excuse to attack.
Therefore, Wang Meng's suggestion was to restrain military discipline after entering the city, and the target of plunder was set at the palace, temple and treasury, and the large families were determined according to the situation, and part of the points scored by looting were given to the slang soldiers who assisted in the war, part was given to the officers and soldiers, and part was transported back to the country to be dedicated to the imperial court.
Wang Hao, who had no concerns, had a more "radical" view than Wang Meng, and he added a suggestion to "arrest the families of the powerful people in Linyi and force the state of Linyi to pay tribute".
If Lin Yiguo can really be forced to pay tribute, the court will definitely be very happy to have face, and it will be much more tolerant of Yu Wenwen's behavior of "opening borders and provoking".
And Yuwenwen decided to plunder the army to slaughter the city indiscriminately, and now it is refreshing, but when the news reaches Yecheng, I am afraid that it will be criticized, and there will be a series of troubles in the future, but Wang Cheng did not plan to advise at that time.
First of all, it is useless to persuade, and secondly, Yuwenwen has taken Jiangzhou and Lingbiao one after another, and pacified Jiaozhou, and has made many great achievements, it is time to defile himself and let the court not be so "embarrassed".
Yuwenwen is already the prince of the county, and he has made great contributions repeatedly, and the possibility of him becoming the king is very small, so he will shield his son with military merits, and Yuwenwen now has four sons, which is enough to share the credit.
The war is going smoothly, and there is no need to be so self-defiled, but the matter of breaking through the capital of Linyi is close to the merit of destroying the country, compared to the prime minister's brother Wei Chiyou Qijiu's attack on Jiankang, Yu Wenwen's credit is more dazzling and dazzling.
The significance of taking Jiankang for the Zhou State is much greater than the Zhou army's attack on the capital of Linyi State, but everything is afraid of comparison, and any move that highlights Wei Chi Youqi's "incompetence" will pull the sensitive heartstrings of Prime Minister Wei Chi Dan.
Moreover, Yu Wenwen's use of troops against Lin Yiguo was really an unauthorized action, and he did not ask the court for instructions in advance, and he did not obtain the permission of the court at all.
Yuwen Wen wanted to defile himself, Wang Fei raised his hands in approval, although the other party did not say it, but Wang Fei already had his own judgment: Yu Wenwen chose to bear the notoriety of slaughtering the city, and had given up the reward for breaking the Dian Chong, but the benefits of plundering the rich Dian Chong were real.
The slang soldiers who helped in the war, as well as the soldiers of the Feng Xian clan, the Chen clan, the Ning clan and their fleets, everyone could share the benefits, and their trust in Yu Wenwen increased significantly; And the officers and soldiers can share the benefits without dirty hands, and the military spirit is more stable.
Yu Wenwen himself can also share the benefits, and there is still a big surplus when the consumption of the troops is completely filled, but the reputation is a little unpleasant, but this is not a good occasion to score.
Linyi has been expanding northward for hundreds of years, and countless people of Ninan County and Jiuzhen County have been slaughtered, and one of the banners played by Yuwenwen's attack on Linyi is "blood debt and blood repayment", there is no doubt that Yuwenwen Tudianchong's harvest is not entirely infamy.
Not to mention that Lin Yiguo will inevitably suffer a lot of vitality after this catastrophe, and I am afraid that he will not be able to commit crimes in the north for several years or even more than ten years, so that the Jiaozhou Assassin can be calmly arranged and solve the unstable factors in Jiaozhou one by one.
For the sake of face and lining, Yuwenwen made a decision without hesitation, so there was no need for Wang Yan to support him at all.
Although some heroes feel useless, Wang Fei is not in a hurry, there is no need to worry about this kind of thing to attack Dianchong, he thinks that his stage is, of course, the Central Plains that attracts heroes from all over the world.
The team marched to the gate of a building complex, which was the treasury of Linyi, which was not only hoarded with food, but also many weapons and supplies, and the Zhou army entered the city too quickly, and the defenders of the treasury fled without a trace before they could react.
The team had already taken the lead to occupy this place, and the leading generals saw Wang Gong coming, and stepped forward to salute: "Wang Ji Room, we are ready, do you want to start now?" ”
"Let's get started! Empty the treasury! ”
。。。。。。
On the edge of the palace of Linyi, in a magnificent temple, Yu Wenwen, who was dressed in armor, looked fixedly at a Buddha statue in the main hall, to be exact, this is not a Buddha statue but a god statue, because the state religion of Linyi is Brahmanism.
Brahmanism should be called Hinduism in later generations, and Buddhism originated from Tianzhu, Linyi established Brahmanism as the state religion, then the royal temple is naturally a Brahmanical temple, and this statue is the idol of a certain Brahmin god.
As for what kind of god it is, Yu Wenwen is not interested, the reason why he can see it is because according to the palace guards, this god statue is made of pure gold.
Under the reflection of the firelight, the pure gold statue with a height of more than two zhang exuded golden yellow all over its body, and Yuwen Wen and the people around him only felt very dazzling, followed by shortness of breath.
I didn't feel the condemnation of the gods, nor did I feel the curse of the sacrifices in the temple, but I felt the power of wealth: how heavy should it be for such a large pure gold statue!
Yu Wenwen was the first to come back to his senses and turned to Tian Zhengyue on the side: "What are you doing in a daze, do it!" ”
"Huh? King, I'm afraid it's hard to move such a big golden statue, right? ”
"Move? Who told you you to move? ”
Tian Zhengyue couldn't turn the corner for a while: "King, then let's go elsewhere?" ”
"What do you turn around, such a big golden Buddha, if you don't bring it back, are you worthy of your conscience?" Yuwen Wen hated that iron could not be made of steel and said, "Knock it out!" Divide into small pieces and take away!! ”
"Oh... The last general commands! ”
"Be smart! Clean hands and feet! ”
Yu Wenwen turned out of the main hall, only to see that the soldiers were watching a few "enlightened monks", which were Brahmanical sacrifices, and when they saw him walking out of the main hall, they shouted hoarsely.
Although he couldn't understand what the other party said, Yu Wenwen could guess that it wouldn't be a good thing, he was not interested in playing "The Ten Tortures of So-and-so", so he didn't bother to provoke these gods: "Take them down and lock them up!" ”
Several more soldiers ran over and reported to Yuwenwen: "King, King Linyi ran away with the queen and prince, but..."
"But what?"
"But some harem concubines didn't have time to run."
Yuwen Wen was overjoyed when he heard this: "Bring... Bring them here! ”
Anyway, if you want to defile yourself, then you have to act in a full set, if the appearance of these women is above the passing line, then all of them will be packed and taken away, and sent to Yecheng as a gift to the emperor, this minister, I am done!
