Chapter 646: The Atrocities of the Western Xia Kingdom
Hearing that the Tang army's team had arrived in Yanzhou and was still continuing to rush to Yongzhou in the west, Zong Ze immediately bid farewell to Huizong and the palace marshal's mansion, and led hundreds of personal soldiers straight to the Tang army.
Hearing the report of his subordinates, Du Jia personally met with the veteran, he also had some impressions of Zong Ze, this is also a generation of anti-gold generals, although Du Jia is not very familiar with his achievements, but before he died, he first read the famous sentence of the poem Saint Du Fu to commemorate Zhuge Liang - "Die before leaving the school, make the hero full of tears", and then shouted three times, "Cross the river, cross the river, cross the river!" Later, he died of anger, and until he died, he was thinking about the Song soldiers crossing the river to defeat the Jin soldiers, which can be said to be very patriotic, so Du Jia also admired him a lot.
Zong Ze, who had fought all his life after seeing the lineup and equipment of the Tang Army, was also secretly surprised, and he knew that what Captain Su said was indeed true, and the Tang Army was indeed an elite division, enough to fight with the Western Xia Kingdom.
After Du Jia and Zong Ze talked a few words and greeted each other, he asked Yue Fei to receive Zong Ze for him, it turned out that Yue Fei had served under Zong Ze for a period of time and was taken care of by Zong Ze, according to this era, he was still from Zong Ze's disciples, so it was quite unexpected for the two to meet again.
At the beginning, Zong Ze blamed Yue Fei for why he turned his back on the court to serve other forces - in this regard, Zong Ze was extremely stubborn, which is why the Tang State was willing to send troops to help the Great Song Dynasty, so he was polite, otherwise he would have called the thief directly, Yue Fei smiled bitterly and said how he went to save the officers and soldiers of Dongting Lake back then, and then was captured by Du Jia three verticals and three times, and he was only conditionally obedient, and he would never do anything to the people of the court, this time he was just here to deal with the Western Xia Kingdom, Zong Ze was also embarrassed when he heard it, and the two reconciled.
In this way, Zong Ze's people stayed in Du Jia's Chinese army, and it will be much more convenient for them to hand over with Brother Qiu in the future, in addition, Du Jia does not shy away from Zong Ze when discussing the military situation, after all, Zong Ze is a person who has used soldiers for most of his life, and he has extremely rich experience, while Du Jia's thinking is broad, the tactics are novel, and both sides admire each other.
Due to the fast speed of the cavalry, coupled with the fact that Zong Ze was completely allowed by the government along the way, they passed through the county and soon entered Yongzhou.
As soon as they entered Yongzhou, they discovered the whereabouts of the Xixia Kingdom, in a small village that could not be marked on the map, they saw the 'gift' left by the Xixia army, only to see that there was no living person in the village of more than 100 households at this time, and the bodies of dozens of old people were piled up at the head of the village, which should have been hit and killed, and then there were dozens of women in the middle of the village, Chi Guoguo's body, which was already a mess, I don't know how many times it was ruined, and there were many scars on the body, which should have been injured when resisting.
What's even more outrageous is that not far from their corpses are the corpses of dozens of children, the oldest of them is only seven or eight years old, the youngest is still a baby, and they were also brutally killed, in addition to all the horses, cattle, sheep and livestock in the village, there is a lot of chicken, duck and goose remains in the middle of the village, and there are dozens of remains of fires, the team of the Xixia Kingdom should have held a banquet here last night, and these things that cannot be taken away have been eaten.
Then the houses were all burned down, and only some of the better quality masonry houses remained, but they were all black, and it was a completely miserable place, which can be called hell on earth.
Seeing this scene, the whole Tang Kingdom was furious, in fact, everyone was an elite who had been on the battlefield for a long time, and they were used to seeing life and death, which of their subordinates did not have a few enemy lives? There are even some who were born thieves before, and they have done some things about robbing houses and robbing men and women, but they have never done such a brutal act, and they are completely treated as inappropriate people.
In fact, this is also very easy to understand, as the saying goes, a good dog protects the three neighbors, a good man protects the three villages, and the king of the mountain is actually a local defender of order to some extent, but they maintain the rules of the underworld, but the rules are the rules, as the formulators they never want others to destroy it, even if they are stupid and arrogant, they also know the truth of the long stream, a snatch and kill the light is happy, what can I do later?
Therefore, their killing is often just a means to deter the rest of the people, and the ultimate goal is to seek wealth, but these Tanguts are different, they don't have any sense of belonging here at all, so they use the most tyrannical means of maximizing profits.
At this moment, everyone was enraged, and Qin Ming even rattled his iron fist, gritted his teeth and said viciously: "These bitch bitch-raised Western Xia mongrels were caught by Lao Tzu and had to beat them with a hundred sticks before they died, king, give an order, hurry up and chase those sluts." ”
Huang Xin, Ou Peng, Ma Lin, Mu Chun and other deputy generals also scolded loudly, and they all asked for orders to hunt down and kill this gang of bandits in the Western Xia Kingdom.
And Yue Fei is in the best position next to Du Jia, and naturally he sees this scene most clearly, he has always paid attention to calming down in both civil and military cultivation, so as not to lose his mind on the battlefield and make wrong judgments, but at this moment, he can no longer maintain a calm state like water, a pair of iron fists clenched tightly, and suddenly roared up to the sky, like an enraged lion, which startled the people around him, after all, Yue Fei usually either doesn't speak, or smiles, and is completely harmless to humans and animals, No one thought that he would be angry, and that he would be so loud.
After roaring, Yue Fei quieted down again, but his former gentle eyes were gone, and they became murderous, and Gu Pan was full of fierce light, making people dare not force his eyes.
Du Jia also sighed in his heart, I am afraid that this is the other side of Yue Wumu who "looks up, looks up to the sky and roars, is fierce, and wants to be ambitious to eat Hulu meat, laugh and drink the blood of the Huns", it seems that the atrocities of the Western Xia Kingdom have also stimulated his ferocity, he never believed that Yue Fei was described in the history books as too polite, that is more in line with the Song Dynasty's emphasis on civil officials, Jin Bing has always been murderous, if Yue Fei does not have a tyrannical side, how can they let them send out "Shake the mountain Yi." , what about the lament of the "Shake Yue Family's military disaster"? Talking to them about civility and etiquette is tantamount to playing the harp to a cow, but it is just a humiliation.
At this time, there are few people who can still stay calm, Wu Yonggongsun Sheng and other military divisions are counted as few, Du Jia is counted as one, and then there is the old general Zong Ze, he has fought with the Western Xia Kingdom and the Liao State before, and he has seen similar scenes, so it is not strange.
