[Make up for yesterday's arrears in the evening.] 】

The last meeting ended after dark.

Early the next morning, when the sky was still dark, a loud trumpet pierced the sky.

Xu Baixiang woke up from his slumber, and from the small window that was more than seven feet high and only half a foot square, a loud horn came in.

'What's going on?' He thought.

'Could it be that the Cochin people are fighting back?' He fantasized further.

Licking the sockets with not a single tooth left, but with a bloody smell, Xu Baixiang wanted to stand up. But he only moved slightly, and the chains hanging from his body swayed endlessly, giving a piercing warning in the cramped cell.

"Xu Baixiang, what do you want to do?!"

In the dim light, two jailers sat opposite, and one of them snapped up. The two of them were staring at Xu Baixiang's every move, and they were still holding the iron ruler tightly in their hands, so that if necessary, they could abolish the ability to abolish this prisoner at once.

When Xu Baixiang was imprisoned, he was ordered by Xianggong to not let the culprit die, no matter how it was suicide, homicide or death due to illness, the jailers who supervised him were all punished severely. Then Han Gang, Su Ziyuan and several other important ministers who governed Guangxi were ordered to do so, and the jailers who supervised Xu Baixiang were all watching Xu Baixiang's every move day by day.

His mouth was full of teeth forcibly pulled out, saving him from biting his tongue and killing himself, his hands were firmly locked with thirty pounds of heavy shackles, and his feet were also shackled with the heaviest shackles, and any action would be watched by the guards who lived in the same cell in shifts. From morning to night, and from dusk to dusk, twelve hours a day, there will always be two people and four eyes staring at him at every moment, and they will not let go of any suspicious movements of him.

No one in the prison knew what Lu Dao was for, and several ministers and princes attached so much importance to this rebel thief, only that Lu Dao was a dog abandoned by the Jiaozhi people, and after betraying the master, he was abandoned by the new owner. It should be killed early, so that the people of Yongzhou can have a good time, so that they can go back to worship the family members of the Jiaozhi people. But today, they finally knew what they were doing with Xu Baixiang's life?

"Handsome Xu Baixiang!"

Under the leadership of Kong Mu in prison, two sturdy and majestic military men came to the cell where Xu Baixiang was, raised their voices and drank inside.

"What?" When the two jailers saw that it was their boss who was coming, they hurriedly got up and asked in surprise, "The marshal wants to pass on Xu Baixiang?" Isn't it preparing to send troops outside? ”

"How can you send troops without blood? The big handsome is about to take this dog thief to swear the flag! A soldier drank, "After raising it for so many days, isn't it just for today!?" ”

When Xu Baixiang heard this, he still had a trace of illusion, and suddenly fell into complete darkness, and began to struggle with his life. He is unwilling to die like this, he still has to be a magistrate, a magistrate, and a powerful minister who controls a country.

A jailer immediately turned around and jumped back into the cell, raising his hand to Xu Baixiang's spine is an iron ruler, "Dog thief, it's finally today!" ”

The heavy iron ruler fell on his back, which was the means to catch the thief quickly, and Xu Baixiang, who was struggling desperately, suddenly became paralyzed, his body was numb in a burst of impact, and he was dragged out of the prison directly. It's just that the two eyes are wide open, full of unwillingness.

"This person should be cut with a thousand cuts!"

"If you want to learn from Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao, you have to grow your eyes first. The dog is blind, and even the master has thrown himself into a thief! ”

"Those who are dogs are left behind as dead dogs, and they deserve to be today."

On the high platform, several generals commented on the host and guest who had just come on the field, and under the high platform, there were nearly 10,000 horse infantry forbidden troops who were about to go south, and they lined up a neat formation, waiting for Zhang Dun's review. Around them, there are tens of thousands of Yongzhou people - today, they are almost moving in the city, just to see the end of the mortal enemy of the sea of blood.

The location selected by the Strategic Recruitment Division to send troops was not in the school field outside the city, nor in front of the yamen in the city, but in the loyal and brave shrine of Su Mian and a group of civil and military officials who died in the Battle of Yongzhou, as well as soldiers and officials. At the same time, in the apse of the Zhongyong Temple, several walls are stone slabs with high beams, and dense names are engraved on them, all of which are lists of unjust souls collected from the people of Yongzhou who survived.

Tens of thousands of lives were slaughtered because of the ambition of one man; A good city is in a sea of fire because of the greed of one man.

The roar of anger came from all directions, unlike the comments of the officers and soldiers from the north that Xu Baixiang had nothing to do with him, and the tens of thousands of people from Yongzhou were simply angry and hateful. How many families no longer exist, and those who remain can only reminisce about the happy old days.

"Rip him!"

"Rip him!"

"Rip him!"

Countless people roared, and the two executioners tied Xu Baixiang high on the wooden platform, and what was bitten in his mouth was a dagger the size of a palm.

Xu Baixiang glared in horror, watching the cold light flicker on the corners of the two executioners' mouths. There is no strength left in his feet, and his whole body is weak. It fell, and the dripping water spilled between the thighs, and a peculiar smell spread across the execution table.

The executioner looked disgusted and looked away. Then he took a small dagger and slowly began to shave the skin and flesh of Xu Baixiang's body piece by piece. Every time the knife went down, Xu Baixiang on the wooden platform screamed with exhaustion, and every piece of meat was cut off, and it was immediately sent to the people of Yongzhou to be displayed.

There was a commotion among the people, and many people rushed to cry and try the flesh and blood of their enemies.

"This is the Ring of the Latecomers!" Zhang Dian drank coldly.

"It's too cheap for him."

Han Gang looked at it twice and then shifted his gaze, he had no interest in torturing a damn prisoner. Han Gang only cared about the worst results, and his anger-venting behavior was not in line with his character. It can make the people of Yongzhou feel relieved of their old hatred, let the army and the people be united, whether it is Ling Chi, beheading, killing cattle and sacrificing flags, or killing people and sacrificing flags, it is just a formality. As long as it can boost morale, any means can be used, and there is no difference.

The sun in the sky was a little dim, it was already the winter moon, and the wind was blowing a little colder. The wind was very dry, and there was not much water in it. Such days are too few in Guangxi, only three or four months. And this short period of time has now passed a month.

But as soon as possible!

……………………

Since arriving in Menzhou, Li Hongzhen found out that he had fallen into a big trap.

No wonder when he took the initiative to apply for a transfer to Menzhou to lead the army, Li Changjie agreed without much hesitation, not worried at all that he would throw himself into the Song people, and then use the military strength of the Song people to compete for the throne of Jiaozhi.

Li Hong really couldn't have imagined that the Song people would actually sentence all the men who were wrapped up in Dayue to be physically punished, and they didn't do it themselves, but let the 36 barbarians who had formed a deep blood feud with Jiaozhi in the past few months do it.

Originally, Li Hongzhen could see from the Song people's methods of instigating the 36 barbarian tribes that the Song State did not intend to seize the land of the Great Yue Kingdom, but only used killing to avenge Li Changjie's previous killings in Yongzhou, Qinzhou, and Lianzhou. Otherwise, they would not have allowed the barbarians to come in the territory of Da Yue. Having grasped this, Li Hongzhen was fully sure to persuade the commanders of the Song people, that is, Zhang Dian and Han Gang, to sell Li Changjie, Yilan, and Qiande together, at least to keep the land on the south bank of the Fuliang River.

But the matter was completely unexpected by Li Hongzhen, the Song people would use such ruthless methods, and they didn't even hide the news. Menzhou has already spread, presumably in a few days, it will be able to spread to every corner of the Great Yue Kingdom.

If the Song people did this, the resistance of the Song army in the country would definitely become fierce, but their fierce resistance would not last long, as long as the Song army's offensive exceeded a limit, between certain death and loss of toes, people would definitely choose the latter.

It's better to die than to live, it's just two small pieces of meat with bones, and you won't die, but you can't go into battle anymore, and it's still okay to do some farm work. At present, in the country of Dayue, there are internal and external difficulties, and the number of people who are willing to join the army to fight can be said to be very few.

And no one will doubt the promise of the Song people, just cutting off the toe, not to harm life.

If you say that you can eat and sleep well after surrendering, and you won't be bullied, I'm afraid no one will believe it; said that after the corporal punishment, he could save his life, but no one would doubt that since he had already cut off his toes, what was the point of killing himself again, it was better to stay and call. There are many people who can figure this out.

Earlier, after Li Hongzhen's father, Li Foma, built the palace room, he recruited palace maids and chamberlains on a large scale. Although if you want to be a safe and stable servant, there is one thing that must be abandoned, as long as it is a real man, he is not willing to abandon it! But in order to get a full bite to eat, there are even self-castrations in the Thang Long Mansion. Thinking that as long as the Song army attacked the city of Menzhou, there would definitely be many defenders under his command who would take the initiative to harm themselves in order to save their lives.

"What a vicious method!"

Li Hongzhen gritted his teeth. But after the ruthlessness, he became flustered again. With Menzhou's troops, how could he resist the offensive of the Song army. The panicked mind continued until the Song army, which was heading south, appeared in front of him across the border.

"Only two thousand?" Li Hongzhen asked in surprise.

"Only two thousand!" The guards who came to report nodded in affirmation.

Li Hongzhen immediately hurriedly went up to the city tower in person, and looked down at the city, and the number of Song troops arrayed outside the city was really only about 2,000.

'Could it be that the Song people only have so many soldiers? Li Hongzhen held up his eyes in surprise, the Song army was not only meagre in number, but also did not even prepare a military camp, did he want to capture Menzhou in a battle.

'No way! 'Menzhou is the most important pass, where is it possible to fight down, when Li Hong was really thinking about it, he suddenly saw a foreign object behind the Song army's camp, his eyelids were about to crack, and how many people in the city moaned in disbelief: "That...... What the hell is that?! ”
