Xiao Ruxun looked at Xu Guangqi, was silent for a long time, and then slowly spoke.

"They are just a very small group of the lucky people among the victims of this war, they have survived, and we have rescued them, but many more have already died, or they have been killed, or tortured to death, and there will only be more victims than survivors, and there will only be more unfortunate people, and we have no better way to appease them."

"Is that all there is to it?"

Xu Guangqi asked.

"In today's world, it is the luckiest thing for the small people who have encountered military disasters to be alive, they can't encounter something more fortunate than this, if it is replaced by other troops, I don't even know if someone will kill them and exchange their heads for money, Mr. Xu, what we can do is very limited, very limited."

Xu Guangqi looked at these miserable and lucky people silently, and for a long time, he showed a bitter smile.

"Governor, now that his subordinates know how ignorant they are, they don't even know how to save the people in front of them, and they can't save anyone, so how can they save the country? You can't hold a knife or gun, you can't send a bow and arrow, you can't carry it on your shoulder, you can't lift it in your hands, a scholar, how useless it is! ”

Xiao Ruxun looked at Xu Guangqi.

"At least, you have a heart to save people, and more people don't even have this heart, and there is no cure."

After speaking, Xiao Ruxun walked away, Xu Guangqi stood in place and was stunned for a while, pursed his lips, and quickly caught up with Xiao Ruxun's pace.

That night, Li Rusong rushed to Huairen with the army, and after resting for a night, Xiao Ruxun ordered 500 soldiers to take the nearly 20,000 people south to Yanmen Pass, and then went to Shanxi to take refuge.

This is an order issued by him in his capacity as the governor of the four sides, and I don't know if this order will work, at present, nearly one-third of Shanxi's government is paralyzed, and the remaining two-thirds are also difficult to protect themselves.

While reorganizing the army in Huairen County, Xiao Ruxun received a military report from Chai Guozhu and Dong Yiyuan, who had arrived at Pingyuwei, recovered several fallen castles, rescued more than 500 captured soldiers, captured 2,618 people, and destroyed a total of 1,117 enemies.

And on the way to the army, he encountered three small units of troops in the north, one group of more than 500 people, and the remaining two groups of more than 1,000 people, Gu was annihilated, and saved 3,672 people, and now he has been escorted south according to Xiao Ruxun's order, asking for instructions.

How else can you indicate that?

Chai Guozhu and Dong Yiyuan are grateful for their kindness, at least they didn't do anything to kill good and take risks, otherwise, if they cut off the heads of the people and make their hair according to the hair ornaments of the Beiyu, ordinary people really can't see the difference, the Ming Han people and the Beiyu really look alike.

If the northern captives had grown up to look like Europeans and Africans, I am afraid that there would be no such thing as killing good people and taking risks.

This is already very good, and it will not kill the people who are already very miserable, this is Xiao Ruxun's minimum requirement for the Ming army.

These people are too bitter, too miserable, if they have to be killed and treated with merit, it is really intolerable, Xiao Ruxun even if he is desperately at the risk of losing his official position, he has to teach those beast armies who have lost their conscience a hard lesson.

Xiao Ruxun ordered Chai Guozhu and Dong Yiyuan to continue to advance according to the predetermined route, and shared the information he got here with them, telling them not to attack or bypass the city when they encountered it on the way forward, and to send someone to investigate first.

According to the intelligence, several tribes in the north went south to Datong on a large scale to spend the winter, and now the weather is still cold, they have no signs of returning north, and they don't know that we have started the northern expedition and counteroffensive, so the city is mostly lax and tired northern captives and a large number of enslaved Han people.

Xiao Ruxun asked them to kill the northern captives, recapture the city, and save the people.

I don't know if they can do it, but Xiao Ruxun has to do it.

On the seventh day of the third month of the twenty-sixth year of Wanli, Xiao Ruxun led the army to Xiamizhuang, which is only less than two days away from Datong, and the cavalry can arrive in one day, according to the information from the interrogation, the surrounding towns here are completely occupied by the Beiyu tribe to spend the winter, and there are 2,000 to 20,000 Beiyu and tens of thousands of Han people, all of whom are enslaved by them.

They squeezed the blood and sweat of the Han people, lived in the cities and houses of the Han people comfortably spent the winter, after a winter passed, spring has come, if in the land of the south of the Yangtze River, it is already spring in March, but in the land of Saibei, the temperature is still very cold, so they do not plan to return north.

The life here is so comfortable, food and drink are guaranteed, and there is also a responsibility for cooking, fetching water, chopping wood and laundry, no need to pay or supervise, just tell you to go out.

Any ordinary soldier with the whole family going south can get five to ten Han slaves, and as their status rises, they can also get more Han slaves to serve them, and they will be beaten, scolded, killed, and humiliated, and they will pour all their malice on the Han slaves together, and wantonly enjoy the happy life that they have never enjoyed in their lives, such a human life.

It is no wonder that these people dragged their families and mouths to the south together, and those who did not go south were still arranging for the organization to go south together, and there was a great reappearance of the posture of occupying the Han land for their own use when the Wuhu was chaotic.

Such a day, of course, they are regarded as a day like a god, such a day, can make them quickly corrupt and degenerate, just like the Eight Banners generals after entering Beijing City.

However, later generations laughed at their lack of ambition, but never thought that behind their corruption, there were thousands of Han people's blood and tears and the shame of the entire nation, the Han family's sons and daughters were enslaved, the Han family's daughters were humiliated, and the gold, silver, treasure, white rice and fine grains obtained after blood and sweat were offered to them for free, and tens of thousands of people were used to support the millions of barbarians, so that they could be "rapidly corrupted".

In the land of China Shenzhou, the Han people were born and grew up in Si, how can you occupy the magpie's nest by your doves, exuding bursts of fishy atmosphere?

How can I stand idly by watching you enslave my fellow citizens?

Back then, there was Zu Li, there was Huan Wen, there was Liu Yu, and now there is me.

I'm going to let you have no return.

Xiao Ruxun gave an order, Li Rusong, Li Rumei, Li Rubai, Nurhachi, Wang Hui and other troops will act separately, with Xia Mizhuang as the command post, attacking from all sides, and listing all the cities that are currently known to have been garrisoned by Beilu as targets.

Before attacking Datong Town, it is necessary to uproot all these strongholds, and at the same time save the people, they must also cut off the wings of the northern captives, and give them a dull stick before they can react, and when they reflect, there is no strength to fight back.

If you want to fight, you will be completely killed, not a single breath will be spared, not a single prisoner will be killed, all of them will be killed.
