Chapter 507: Lu Zhishen's Compassion
It was raining in the sky, and it seemed that God didn't want to see so much blood.
The battlefield was covered with blood, corpses were spread on the ground, and as the ground gradually became wet with raindrops, blood flooded, and blood had accumulated in its low-lying areas, like red ponds.
One by one, the lost prisoners of war of the Liao army squatted on the ground, they were listless, and they hung their heads.
There is no longer the arrogance and madness of Guangxin and Ansu, nor the brutality in Baosai City, at this time they are just a group of down-and-out and timid old hens, trembling under the swords and guns of the Liangshan army.
The matter of chasing and suppressing the remnants of the enemy was handed over to Hua Rong, and Lu Qian soon issued an order to gather all the troops. At the same time, they sent people to the city of Baosai.
Then the terrible scene in the city became known.
The Khitan army in Baosai City was bloodied?!
Hearing this news, Lu Qian was shocked and shocked, and his infinite anger was about to drown people. "Good dog, good dog—" At this moment, he didn't know what to say.
The streets are full of male corpses, both young and old, strong and weak, which is to kill all the men in Baosai City. Of course, it is impossible to be without a woman or child inside, especially those who are older.
In the south of the city, there are probably four or five thousand people lying in ambush, apparently slaughtered by the Khitans.
And when we looked at the houses, every house in the city was looted, and there were blood stains on every house, and a large number of young women and children were chained to their rooms with ropes, crying and weeping. There is not a single man in sight in the city!
The entire city of Baosai has been turned into a city of vain death, full of blood and unjust souls.
"Click......"
The handrail on the high platform was broken by Lu Qian, and he believed that his subordinates would not dare to deceive him, and his face instantly turned pale.
If a large number of men, women, and children were taken captive only to the Northlands, they could still be asked for their back; But if they all turned into ghosts, it seemed that he could only kill all the captives.
Without saying a word, he got off the high platform, and the people below had already brought the mount, Lu Qian jumped on the horse, flicked the whip, and ran straight to Baosai.
Behind him, Tian Hu and Li Tianxi looked at each other.
"That Lu Qian is a person of 'temperament', and he has always prided himself on loving the people with benevolence and righteousness. If this is really the case in Baosai City, he is afraid that he will definitely not rest with the Liao. Tian Hu twisted his beard and whispered.
If you want to say that before this war, he Tianhu was still a little afraid of the Khitan, then now, he can say with certainty that the day of headache for the Khitan people has come.
gave birth to such things and didn't give an explanation, how could Lu Qian give up?
But this is of great benefit to the king. If Lu Qian fights in the Khitan, it will be difficult to understand for a while, and the king should quickly kill and return to Hedong! Li Tianxi's voice was full of excitement. Khitan's move can really be described as heaven's help to Tian Huye.
"Let's go and see."
Tian Hu was no longer grateful to the Liao State in his heart, but he was still excited, got off the high platform with Li Tianxi, stepped on the war horse and went straight to Baosai City.
Before he could get closer, he smelled a thick smell of blood.
And at the gate of the city, because of the low terrain, he saw a stream of crimson water running straight from the middle of the city to the moat.
Inside, the streets were already full of Liangshan troops, and there were soldiers constantly dragging the dead bodies and putting them on the road, which were full of people. From time to time, there were howling and crying in the air, but it was the women and children who were imprisoned and imprisoned who were released home, and how they did not cry bitterly when they saw the corpses of their relatives.
"Straight lady thief, this Hu clan is hateful." Since Tian Hu started the army, the military discipline has not been good. Robbery and killing are commonplace, but they are far less excessive than they are doing now.
Li Tianxi, who was born in the green forest, also scolded him, they are no longer a few people in the green forest, and there are no longer a few people who kill people like hemp, but they can make a deal in front of them, it is really a small thing.
The huge city of Baosai, a street, stretching from south to north, a corpse, the two of them on horseback could not see their heads at a glance.
This kind of appearance made the two guys with grievances on their hands also hate and curse.
Baozhou Prefecture, Lu Qian saw Liu Jing's body, as well as Xu Zilong's ruined body. The skull wine bowl, this is a very bloody and brutal move. If you are born in a Khitan aristocratic family, those Liao magnates who are very sinicized will really not be blessed. But Aric is obviously not, as can be seen from his name, this person is from a Khitan commoner.
In fact, there are still shamanic figures in the Khitan shrouded in Buddhism, and they have long been fused with the Tantra introduced by the Uighurs, and have become the two major schools of Liao Buddhism alongside the Huayan sect of Han and Turkish Buddhism.
So, Arich's barbarism is not without reason.
And seeing this scene in Baosai City, Lu Qian suddenly felt that some of his earlier ideas were ridiculous. The high-level aristocrats of the Khitan may have been sinicized, but the main people of the Khitan nation, those Khitan herdsmen, are still barbarians, standard barbarians.
Just like the Mongols accepted Yelu Chucai, Lu Qian also had the intention of using the 'scholars' in the north to impact the inherent Shilin in the Central Plains, but it was enough to accept its essence. For example, people like Yelu Chucai, but the latter is an individual, but it is by no means equal to the entire Khitan.
Lu Qian's heart was boiling with murderous intent, it was really good to destroy this nation.
"King, Shi Xianggong's body has not been found, only the body of Dingzhou Tang Dujian is still there, and the bodies of Zeng Bin and Li Yong, the training envoys of the two states, have not been found." Le and come to report.
In the matter of Baozhou, it is impossible for Lu Qian to erect a monument to the unknown hero. Times are different. Now it is still necessary to highlight the exploits of Liu Jing and Shi Qinghe, and then there are Xu Zilong, Tang Quanying and Zeng Bin and Li Yong, the training envoys of the Liangzhou regiment. Just because they're officials!
Look at the Zhang Xun Temple [Shangqiu] in the Tianfu Place, even if it is this, it is nothing more than this.
But Xu Zilong, Tang Quanying, Zeng Bin, and Li Yong are also important.
If the body cannot be found, the shrine will still be there. Lu Qian stepped out of the second hall of the state ya, looking at the raindrops in the world, God's tears were not shed for those beasts outside the city, but for the people who were killed in Baosai City, and the martyrs of the loyal souls.
For a moment, he wanted to raise troops and go straight to Youyan, and this thought was so strong in his heart for a moment. But the Jurchens, and the food, ......, are all problems.
"The King." Xu Guanzhong shouted softly. He could feel the difficulty in Lu Qian's heart right now, and this matter was indeed difficult to do.
"The generals have arrived." But he didn't ask Tian Hu to attend again.
The troubles in Lu Qian's heart are still incomprehensible, he can't easily let go of the Khitan, so his own heart can't get over this hurdle. But he really didn't want to cheapen the Jurchens. Now that there is no Nanjing Road, Liao is still a bird!
However, there was a shortage of military food on the front line, and there was food in Zhending Mansion at the beginning, but it was difficult to transport it to the front line in time. invisibly created a big problem for Lu Qian.
"Let's go."
Strode out and let the rain drip on him.
Le He next to him was holding a paper umbrella in his hand, and when he saw it, he rushed up and opened the umbrella to cover Lu Qian from the rain.
There are no corpses in the state office, only indelible bloodstains and knife and gun wounds, and the tragedy of the day is still recounted.
"The ministers have seen the king."
Stepping into the lobby, Lu Zhishen, Qin Ming and other generals got up one after another to salute.
Lu Qian didn't have a smile on his face, and after sitting down on the big chair, he also exuded a kind of coldness all over his body.
"Everyone is their own people, they are all my Lu Qian's henchmen, and they are all my Lu Qian's brothers. I won't hide it from you, but it's hard for me to decide what to do today. ”
"It's Hugh who lets go of Khitan so easily, don't give them a good look, Lao Tzu is not surnamed Lu." As soon as he opened his mouth, he scolded.
A pair of eyes swept over everyone like cold lightning, and Lu Qian opened his mouth to swear, which naturally did not have the bearing of a king, but it made the old people of Liangshanbo present miss it one after another. When Shuibo Liangshan was in the beginning, King Lu would also pop out some swear words from time to time. That is, now that things are getting bigger, I have to pay attention to it.
If they were unconscious, Lu Zhishen and the others would get rid of a bit of 'awe', and they would have a little more cordiality in their hearts. The sitting posture doesn't even straighten the waist upright.
"But you can't beat them too hard. The Khitans suffered, and the Jurchens took advantage of it. It's all fucking Yi foreigners, dogs bite dogs, and it's good to be dead. ”
"And the most important thing for us now is to take the northern land, Gyeonggi, Hebei, Guanzhong, and Guanxi, to be firmly controlled, but to lay a foundation, we can't let the Zhao family pick up the cheap."
Lu Qian said it very bluntly, and everything was laid out on the bright side.
Lu Zhishen and Qin Ming were embarrassed on their faces, and Xu Guanzhong also showed embarrassment on his face, this matter is really difficult to handle. He had already thought of it, but he really couldn't think of a perfect solution.
The Khitans washed Baosai City in blood, and Lu Qian wanted them to pay for their blood debts, but he didn't plan to hit the Khitan hard, so that the Jurchens took advantage of it in vain. At the same time, the main force of the Liangshan army still had to be used in the Han land, and it was really impossible to use the troops of the Khitan to take the northern land while the Western Army was fighting with Fang La.
This time, Lu Qian won two provinces in Hebei in one fell swoop, and he also had to peek into Hedong, Gyeonggi, and Guanzhong, doubling his territory, and he didn't know how much effort he had to waste just to deal with internal affairs, and he also had to spend a lot of money and grain to help refugees and displaced people in various places. It will be even more difficult to fight the Khitan again.
What's even more nonsense is that this move is not a blow to the power of the 'enemy', but a self-inflicted injury. That Khitan was never an enemy in Lu Qian's eyes, but a potential ally. Now that the Liangshan army is fighting with the Khitans, it will really make the old Zhao family and the Jurchens happy.
- In World War I, tens of thousands of Han soldiers were reimbursed, and there were thousands of Khitan soldiers, which was greater than the losses in the Battle of Tribulus Mountain in Weizhou.
If the Khitans squandered it like this again, Emperor Tianzuo would be able to flee into Jiashan in advance.
Speaking of the tens of thousands of Han soldiers that the Liao army was wiped out this time, a touch of fierceness flashed on Lu Qian's face. "Everyone knows about the battles before and after Baosai City, so I won't say more. The soldiers and horses of the Liao army who were captured outside the city were stained with the blood of the soldiers and civilians of Baozhou on their hands. I intend to kill them all and declare the world, so as to comfort the people and civilians who died in Baozhou, what do you think? ”
Although the killing of prisoners since ancient times is ominous. But now these prisoners of war are all innocent of death.
Even if he killed millions of people on the battlefield, Lu Qian would not regard him as a person who deserved to die. But to do such a cruel hand to the people, such people are innocent of death.
If they were wronged, were the countless soldiers and civilians who died in the city of Baosai wronged?
But even Qin Ming, who was as fierce as fire, didn't dare to say it easily at this time, how many Liao troops were captured outside the city, 20,000 people may not have it, but 10,000 people are definitely far more than that. This move killed more than 10,000 prisoners of war, and even a thunderbolt felt embarrassed. But if you want him to say that he won't kill, it's also difficult.
The tragic situation in the city of Baosai is vivid, and if you spare these thieves, won't it be cheaper for them?
"Amitabha. The Sprinkler family thought that if they were to send these prisoners of war to the mine site and send them according to the cruelty, in this way for three or five years, the dust would return to dust and the earth would return to the earth. Amitabha. ”
Lu Zhishen's proposal made many people agree, although this method is also ruthless, but it is better than slaughtering directly.
"The master is hypocritical in what he said, according to what I said, they were lined up in a row and cut down one by one." Black Whirlwind shouted. These words immediately made everyone laugh, but Lu Qian felt very good, Lu Zhishen's compassion was really fake.
Isn't that still a death!
