Therefore, after seeing such a group of soldiers again, Har Banda couldn't help but swallow the military order that was about to be blurted out. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Because he knew that the dog had become a wolf and began to eat meat, and if he could not feed the wolves, then the wolves would never advise him to eat his master, who had little place in their hearts.

"Let's go, go back to camp with Ben." Having grown terrified of such a terrible group of rebels, Halbanda lost interest in staying in this hellish city any longer. So after watching the demon-like soldiers leave, Har Banda couldn't help but say to the group of guards behind him.

However, hearing his words, the guards behind him all showed reluctant expressions on their faces. After all, there is nothing in the world, and it is more exciting for this group of armed thieves than legal robbery.

As for the emotions of his guards, Har Banda naturally noticed it. Therefore, in order to prevent the group of guards under his command from having two hearts, he had to turn the horse's head and say: "Don't worry, your booty will definitely be several times richer than this group of people." This is a promise that Ben will give you. ”

Hearing this, the faces of this group of pro-guard soldiers finally showed joy. So after taking a look at the hellish Xiping City, this group of people couldn't help but happily follow their general.

……

In this way, in the later history books, 21 words were also left "In the eleventh year of Zhizheng, in the twelfth month of winter, Harbanda Kexiping, the rear column army slaughtered the city". And the people of later generations, who can know what kind of suffering, blood and tears of the people of Xiping are hidden behind these 21 words?

Almost two days later, the massacre of the people of Xiping City slowly spread to Wuyang City with the escape of a very small number of survivors.

……

"Har Ban answered, you thief killed by heaven, I, Zhang Shihua, swear to heaven that I will kill you in this life and this life!" When Zhang Shihua, who led the army stationed in Wuyang, learned about the massacre of the people in Xiping City, Zhang Shihua, who was extremely angry, couldn't help but draw his sword and swear loudly in front of the herald and the generals under his account.

Seeing Zhang Shihua like this, Zhao Ziyu couldn't help but stand up, hugged his fist at Zhang Shihua and saluted: "Please also ask the general to calm his anger, he is angry and hurts his body!" ”

"Rest your anger, how can I rest my anger! Harban replied to this thief, how can I not be angry if I do such a hurtful thing! Ben Jiang really regrets it now, if I had known that Har Banda this thief would do such a hurtful thing, I would rather fight to the death with him in Xiping than withdraw his troops! ”

As he spoke, Zhang Shihua, who was furious, couldn't help kicking the table in front of him. And after kicking over the table, he shouted to the generals under the tent: "You are still stunned, and you can't go down to gather soldiers and horses." The general is going to lead the troops to fight today, and I will fight to the death with the thief in Harbanda! ”

Zhao Jiu and other generals under the account, hearing such words, couldn't help but show a worried look on their faces, and wanted to open their mouths to persuade them, but when they saw Zhang Shihua's angry face, they were afraid of angering Zhang Shihua here, so after thinking about it, Zhao Jiu and they had to hug their fists and say "obey".

However, just when Zhao Jiu and the others were about to be ordered to walk out of the big tent, Zhao Ziyu, who had been standing with his head down, suddenly stood up, knelt on the ground with red eyes and admonished Zhang Shihua: "General, no, general!" At this time, the Tartar army is in full swing, and if our army rashly attacks, it will inevitably be defeated and invincible. Therefore, the subordinate begs the general to take back your order! ”

After saying this, Zhao Ziyu couldn't help but bury his head deep in the ground, hoping that Zhang Shihua could take back the order.

Seeing this, Zhao Jiu, Guo Yu and others in the tent felt that what Zhao Ziyu said made sense, and they couldn't help but kneel on the ground together after looking at each other, and said to Zhang Shihua: "General, Mr. Zhao is right, our army's rash attack at this time will inevitably be defeated and invincible. ”

"We are not afraid of death, but we are really afraid that because of the unfavorable war, we will have the prestige of hurting the general. Therefore, we also hope that the general can take back your fate. After saying this, Zhao Jiu and the others couldn't help but bury their faces deep on the ground, waiting for Zhang Shihua's decision.

And Zhang Shihua, who was standing on the main seat, saw this, but he couldn't help but hold his sword and sighed: "Wait, this is what you want me to be that unkind and unrighteous person!" If I don't send troops today, what face will I have, and I will meet the fathers and villagers of Runing! Saying this, Zhang Shihua couldn't help crying.

And Zhao Ziyu, who had been kneeling on the ground, saw Zhang Shihua like this, so he naturally couldn't help but take two steps forward, and said to Zhang Shihua with red eyes and tears: "General, it is really our fault as a subordinate to damage your reputation, General. But I am waiting for this today, not to prevent the general from raising troops for revenge, but only that the time for revenge has not yet come. ”

"General, you know, now the Tartar chieftain is also the first, and there are 100,000 soldiers and horses under his command. The victory of his men and soldiers is far beyond our reach. Therefore, if our army wants to win the battle, it is necessary to wait for Marshal Liu's reinforcements, and if Marshal Liu's army does not arrive for a day, we must not move without permission for a day. ”

"This is not to seek safety, but to leave a useful body for the future!"

"Leave it useful for the future." Hearing Zhao Ziyu say this, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but think that he was deflated, sat down on the ground, and muttered to himself in the end.

And Zhao Ziyu, who was kneeling on the ground, saw Zhang Shihua like this, and also knew that Zhang Shihua's intention to send troops had been loosened. So after that, he couldn't help but say while the iron was hot: "Yes, general, the lower officials are also willing to swear here today, if Marshal Liu leads the troops back, and the time for a decisive battle comes, then only the general needs to give his order, and the lower officials are also better than wearing armor and armor, and they are the vanguard of the general's eastward advance." ”

"The same is true of the last general!" Hearing Zhao Ziyu's words, Zhao Jiu and the others, who were kneeling on the ground, also said in such a loud voice.

And when Zhang Shihua saw the generals under his tent like this, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "In this case, the matter of sending troops will be stopped for the time being, and you should all get up." ”

Hearing Zhang Shihua's words, the generals under the tent couldn't help but stand up from the ground one after another after looking at each other.

And Zhang Shihua waited until the generals under the tent stood up, and couldn't help but say to them with his back hand: "I can't help the people of Xiping to avenge the revenge today, but I also have to do something for them." Ziyu, I'll give you three days, don't you want to invite the monks and great virtues that can be invited to Nanyang Mansion, all for this general. Ben will do a ritual in Wuyang three days later to surpass the innocent people of Xiping City. ”

"The general can rest assured, the subordinate will definitely handle this matter well." Hearing Zhang Shihua's words, Zhao Ziyu naturally couldn't help but hold his fists like this.

Hearing this, Zhang Shihua nodded, but couldn't help but wave his hand to make them retreat.

……

Three days later, on a field to the west of Wuyang City, all the soldiers under Zhang Shihua's command, a large number of Wuyang people, and a small number of survivors of Xiping City were also gathered here for the reason why Zhang Shihua wanted to do something today.

At this time, Zhang Shihua had already asked people to build a high platform on this field, and more than 100 monks invited by Zhao Ziyu naturally sat on the high platform, facing Xiping City in the west, and chanting scriptures for the innocent people who died tragically in Xiping City.

It can be said that the voices of these more than 100 monks chanting together are not loud. But the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians surrounding this high platform were surprisingly quiet. Everyone, even the ignorant ones, did not make the slightest noise. The only sound that there is is is probably the crying of those Xiping survivors.

And almost after more than an hour, the more than 100 monks on the high platform finally finished silently reciting the scriptures, slowly opened their eyes and finished the transcendent thing.

And just after these monks had done the excesses, a hundred-household official with an iron horn couldn't help but climb the high platform under Zhang Shihua's order, and told the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians around him loudly about the many tragic stories he collected from the survivors of Xiping and the day when Xiping City was massacred by officials and soldiers.

I have to say that the story told by this hundred-household official is indeed very attractive. Anyone who heard what he said about the soldiers and civilians couldn't help but bring themselves into it, and thus couldn't help but feel a strong resentment towards the so-called officers and soldiers of the imperial court in their hearts.

"Dog court! Dog Tartar! Dog officers and soldiers! After hearing the story of the hundred-household official, among the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians, there was almost everywhere with such hateful scolding.

After all, for these ordinary people living at the bottom of society, the inhumane practice of officers and soldiers slaughtering the city cannot help but be hated by them.

And just when these tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians were scolding because of resentment, Zhang Shihua also led a group of generals under his command to stride onto the high platform here.

Tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians surrounding the high platform, seeing Zhang Shihua and others on the stage, couldn't help but quiet down again out of awe of Zhang Shihua, but their eyes were still firmly fixed on Zhang Shihua at this time.

And Zhang Shihua, who stood on the high platform and attracted the attention of tens of thousands of people, couldn't help but pick up the iron horn and shouted to the people in the audience after seeing the people in the audience quiet again: "Fathers and villagers, as well as these thousands of soldiers, all know that I and you are Yan Huang Huaxuan, the people of the Han family!" ”

"We were originally Han Chinese, and a hundred years ago, our ancestors were protected by the kindness of the Song Emperor, born and raised in Si, and enjoyed a peaceful and prosperous life. However, Haotian condemned Kyushu, making the land of Kyushu rampant and bloody. It also enabled the barbarians to build poles, and the Tatars pretended to be the Son of Heaven. ”

"This Yuan Mengtar captive, he doesn't know the law of respecting ancestors, and he doesn't abide by the three outlines and five constants. Since stealing the land of our Central Plains, he has killed at will, and regarded all the people of the world as lambs. For my Han people, it is even more bone-sucking and arbitrarily exploiting. Therefore, people in the world often say: 'The rich are in the north, and the poor are in the south.' ’”

"I'm Zhang Shihua! As a seven-foot man, how can he turn a blind eye to this. Therefore, all the people in the world are planning, and I have to raise volunteers and seek injustice. On the day I started the army, I also swore that I would 'expel the Tartars and restore China'. Therefore, from the beginning of the army to the present, although I have led the army to attack the city and plunder the land, I have not committed any crime against the poor people. ”

The tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians around the audience couldn't help but nod when they heard Zhang Shihua's words. Because they can feel that since Zhang Shihua came to Wuyang City, because of the opening of the mine and Zhang Shihua's measures to open a warehouse to release grain and attach importance to farming, their lives are indeed much better than before.

Therefore, in this case, most of these tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians are extremely convinced.

Seeing this, Zhang Shihua, who was on the high platform, couldn't help but pause, and then said in a loud voice: "Before the tenth month, I led the army to the east, and I wanted to take this opportunity to join forces with General Shang Cai Han to defeat the invading Tartar soldiers in one fell swoop. ”

"At first, because of the unity of the army and the people, our army fought successively, and tens of thousands of Tartars who were killed directly were terrified. However, due to heavy snowfall and difficulties in supplying the army, he had to temporarily withdraw his troops. But I really never thought that after I returned to Wuyang, that Tartar would take this opportunity to commit such a hurtful thing in Xiping City. ”

When he said this, Zhang Shihua was already with tears in his eyes, and his voice was choked.

But even so, Zhang Shihua still shed tears, and then gritted his teeth and said: "In Xiping City, more than 20,000 innocent people were slaughtered by the Tartars...... It's all a sin I don't know! ”

When Ben Jiang first heard about this, he was filled with remorse. I can't wait to stick my wings in my ribs and fly straight across the mountains and rivers to find the Tartar to fight for my life. But...... I can't do that! Personally...... I can die as soon as I die, but as a Wanhu in Nanyang, I shoulder a great responsibility, but I can't ...... You can't let me be brave. ”

When he said this, Zhang Shihua, who was standing on the high platform, was already crying. And the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians surrounded by the audience couldn't help but have tears in their eyes when they saw Zhang Shihua like this.

"The general is not like this, I don't blame the general, but we only ask him to ask for the east in the future, you can take us and others to the east together to take revenge!" Seeing Zhang Shihua on the high platform, a young man who was a survivor of Xiping, couldn't help shouting like this.

Hearing this young man's words, the remaining more than 10,000 people couldn't help but have red eyes and tears, and they all opened their mouths to persuade Zhang Shihua. Under the high platform, the persuasion of all the people is really moving.

So after that, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but pull out the sword hanging from his waist. And with a sword, in front of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the audience, he cut off a strand of hair on his head.

Seeing this, the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the audience couldn't help but quiet down again. Because they only saw their general Zhang Shihua, after cutting his hand with a sword and dyeing the strand of hair red with the blood on his palm, he held the strand of hair high and swore to the sky: "I, Zhang Shihua, swear to the sky today, in this life and this life, I will 'expel the Tartars and restore China', and avenge the thousands of innocent people in Xiping." ”

"In this life and this life, if you violate this oath, when man and God abandon it, eternal life and eternal life will not be superborn!"

Hearing Zhang Shihua's vicious oath, the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the audience couldn't help but be completely moved. Therefore, when they heard the generals and officials standing behind Zhang Shihua raise their arms and chant the words "expel the Tartars and restore China", the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians who were infected couldn't help but raise their arms and chant together.
