Chapter 171: The Unspoken Rules of War
Qin Hao confirmed that he was drunk last night, and when he woke up, it was already noon the next day, and Tong Guan and the others had already marched in two ways according to the established policy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
One route was that he led Wang Yu and Ma Zheng from Changzhou Suzhou to Xiuzhou, and the other way was Tan Zhi led Yang Keshi from Yizhou to Shezhou.
And Yang Zaixing and the others were ready to pull out of the camp, just waiting for Qin Hao to wake up.
When Qin Hao woke up, Tian Xiaoqian was sitting on the edge of his bed, her eyes were a little red, her eye circles were a little dark, she didn't sleep all night last night, and when she saw Qin Hao wake up, she blamed: "You really scared me to death last night, don't drink if you don't drink!" ā
"Can't drink?"
When Yang Zaixing and the others heard Tian Xiaoqian's reproachful words, they couldn't help but be stunned, if people like Qin Hao said that they couldn't drink, then there would be no one in this world who could drink.
Last night, no one knew how much wine Qin Hao drank, including Qin Hao himself, only who came to toast, and Qin Hao drank it.
Yang Keshi came to toast and drink!
Yao Pingzhong came to toast and drink!
Fold can be saved to toast and drink!
Han Shizhong came to toast and drink!
ā¦ā¦
Monkeys come to toast, and so on...... He didn't drink this wine, because before the monkey approached with the wine glass, he was kicked under the table by Zhang Yi, on this occasion, how could his brothers kill each other?
I thought that the degree of this wine was very low, and it was nothing more than two more trips to the haystack, but in the end, Qin Hao was really drunk, for this Great Song Dynasty, he was really drunk.
It's just that she was drunk, but Tian Xiaoqian didn't sleep all night, and she was a little unhappy in her heart, seeing her blaming, scratching her head, and smiling embarrassedly: "Don't worry, I promise you that I won't get drunk in the future!" ā
"That's pretty much it!" Tian Xiaoqian was very satisfied with Qin Hao's assurance, and then picked up the clothes Qin Hao wore last night and went to the pool to wash it.
I drank a lot of wine last night, and Qin Hao didn't have much taste, just drank two bowls of porridge, and walked out of the military tent, his three thousand soldiers and horses, plus Ma Kuan's two thousand soldiers and horses, stood there neatly, all waiting for his order.
Qin Hao's head hurt a little, and the pre-war mobilization was avoided, and he simply said "open up", and people from all walks of life rushed out in an orderly manner and went straight to Xuanzhou.
When they arrived in Xuanzhou from Jiangning, it was already ten days later, and Tan Zhi's brigade had bypassed Xuanzhou and headed straight for his destination, Shezhou, leaving only a small group of men and horses behind.
Qin Hao wanted to attack Huzhou and then besiege Hangzhou, and Xuanzhou would be his must pass, so Tan Zhi did not entangle with Fang La's rebel troops in Xuanzhou, but threw this place to Qin Hao.
When Yang Zaixing learned that he would rather spend three days on a detour than a day to attack the city, he couldn't help but curse the old fox.
Seeing this, Qin Hao smiled and said, "We led the army to Jiangnan this time, and we originally came to fight, and it was good for him to do this!" ā
Yang Zaixing and Qin Hao were both riding horses, and both of them were standing at the front of the team, Yang Zaixing saw that Qin Hao didn't think so, so it was inconvenient to say anything, and the silver gun pointed ahead:
"Guquan Town in front, and then down is Xuanzhou City, the original general Zheng Mowang has returned to Dusong Pass, and now the city is defending Yongkang's Fang Yanshan and Chen Shishi, these two people are mediocre in martial arts, they are not strong opponents, early in the morning, I will lead a thousand soldiers and horses with Brother Ma, and attack the city from the north and south."
"Okay, let's be stationed in Guquan Town tonight, and we will attack Xuanzhou City early in the morning!" Qin Hao nodded, there are tiger generals like Yang Zaixing and Ma Kuo, attacking a small Xuanzhou City, and there is no need to worry about it.
As he spoke, he suddenly saw the monkey stumbling over, and said in a panic: "Gong...... Son...... Killed...... Killed...... Killed a lot of people...... Lots of people ......."
"What kills? You speak clearly! Qin Hao frowned, looking at the monkey puzzled, feeling a little strange in his heart, since the monkey followed him, he had been in charge of finding out the news, and he had never seen him so flustered.
Zhang Yi was standing next to Qin Hao, if it wasn't for Qin Hao's explanation, he really wanted to kick over, but when he saw the monkey stammering there and not being able to get to the point, he immediately shouted: "What do you stammer?" Straighten your tongue and speak. ā
"Uh-huh!" The monkey swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva deeply, and then pinched his throat with his hand, and then said what he wanted to say in his heart, "Just in Guquan Town in front, many officers and soldiers are killing people, killing those ordinary people!"
"Murder? Officers and soldiers kill? And kill ordinary people, you read that right? ā
Although Yang Zaixing is a little dissatisfied with today's imperial court, after all, he is from a general's family, and he has some loyal and patriotic thoughts in his blood, and he really can't imagine that officers and soldiers kill people.
But seeing Qin Hao's teeth clenched, his fists clenched, and his nails digging deep into the flesh, although he was trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart, the murderous aura in his eyes became more and more intense, and he suddenly felt that the monkey's words might be true.
"Brother Qin, could it be that those officers and soldiers really use the heads of ordinary people as rebels?" Yang Zaixing still has illusions about those officers and soldiers, "Do they really do such a heart-wrenching thing?" ā
Qin Hao's eyes were like fire, and he said coldly: "For these people, there is nothing that cannot be done, and the people who rebel with Fangla are all peasants, what is so strange about killing these ordinary people to fill the rebels?" ā
Among them, Ma Kuo had fought with Tong Guan against the Western Xia, and knew some bad habits in the army, but whenever they fought, both sides would acquiesce to a certain extent in the soldiers to rob the people, so as to boost morale, but it was not convenient to say it explicitly.
Seeing that he was silent, Qin Hao knew that what the monkey said was true, and immediately ordered Yang Zaixing and Zhang Yi to bring a team of elite soldiers to accompany him.
Tian Xiaoqian has been with Qin Hao for so long, she has never seen Qin Hao so angry as today, and immediately asked people to pull out two horses from the barracks, and she and Huzi followed Qin Hao closely one by one.
Qin Hao, Yang Zaixing, Ma Kuo, and Zhang Yi left, and the leaders of the troops naturally fell on the shoulders of the snow, and they did not dare to be careless, so they immediately ordered the troops to be on guard on the spot and enter a combat state to prevent the rebels from making a detour to steal the camp.
Qin Hao, Yang Zaixing, and Ma Kuo were all on horseback, and they naturally ran faster than those soldiers, and they left those troops led by Zhang Yi far behind.
Before I arrived at Guquan Town, I saw billowing smoke, and there was fire everywhere, and in the firelight, I saw scattered officers and soldiers scattered in all corners of the town, regardless of men and women, as long as they looked like adults, they would cut down people when they saw them, and they would kill people when they saw them.
In the sound of killing, I saw a red-clothed and masked woman holding a long sword entangled with these officers and soldiers, doing her best to keep the villagers safe.
"How unreasonable!"
Seeing this, Yang Zaixing couldn't hide the anger in his chest, and he wanted to rush over with the Yang family's silver gun, but was stopped by Qin Hao with his hand, "Killing a few officers and soldiers can't save the people of the town!" ā
The officers and soldiers were scattered, and with a few of them alone, it was true that they could save the east but not the west, but Zhang Yi was bringing infantry, and if they came, I don't know how many people would die.
Qin Hao didn't wait long, but urged the horse to come to the town and ordered Huzi to grab a gong and beat it vigorously there.
