In the early morning of November 27, the sky was just dawning, and Fan Yongdou and others, who had endured the scorching cold of the night in the land of Daibei, and ran around all night, finally came to Shuoping City outside the city where the right guard of Datong was located.

However, at this time, Shuoping City was already like a ghost.

A cold city, there is no trace of life, and there is no sign of inhabitation.

Just as Fan Yongdou and the others were hesitating to go into the city to have a look, they suddenly heard the sound of clattering horses' hooves in the distance.

Fan Yongdou was shocked, and suddenly looked back to the north, and found that there was nothing above the snow fields in the north except for the howling cold wind.

When he suddenly looked back to the south again, he was shocked to find that hundreds of cavalry suddenly appeared on the southern horizon, which was also an empty snowy field!

"Not good! This is the official army! This is the cavalry of the imperial court! ”

Fan Yongdou's heart was flustered, and this sentence blurted out.

For them at this time, the Jianyu from the north is coming, they may be better to talk, as long as they have the opportunity to meet the Jurchen lord Huang Taiji, they will still be saved.

But if the officers and troops from the south come, then they are really at a loss for words!

It's really sad to say, even at this time, Fan Yongdou subconsciously still has a little fantasy about Dajin Kingdom.

It's a pity that this illusion is doomed to shatter!

Jianyu did not come.

On the contrary, it was Liu Honglie, the vanguard deputy general of the cavalry of Yansui Town, who appeared near Shuoping City at this moment!

The flag of the Ming Dynasty official army fluttering in the wind with dragons flying and phoenixes dancing made Fan Yongdou immediately realize the danger, and soon fell into despair.

He subconsciously wanted to turn around and flee, but he also knew that the Fan family, who had been running all night, would definitely not be able to outrun the official cavalry that was galloping opposite.

And the act of turning around and running is very dangerous, which is equivalent to telling the other party that you are suspicious!

Therefore, Fan Yongdou, who wanted to escape but did not dare to escape, could only stand outside the north gate of Shuoping City in a daze, waiting for hundreds of nearly 1,000 cavalry officers and cavalry to come to his group from far and near.

At this time, Fan Yongdou couldn't make any more choices.

And others have already made their own choices.

Wang Dengku, Zhai Tang, and Huang Yunfa led the men of their own business, and when they saw the official cavalry galloping over in the distance, they were still dozens of steps away, so they immediately threw away the swords and guns in their hands and knelt on the ground.

Wang Dengku also took the lead and shouted: "The military master stops! The military master stops! We are good people who have fled! Our things have been robbed by the Jianju and the Mongols of Dog Day, and we are good people who have fled! ”

Seeing this, Fan Yongdou, Fan Yongkui, Fan Sanba and other Fan family members immediately took the remaining dozens of family members, threw away the knives, axes and sticks in their hands, knelt on the ground, and shouted loudly with Wang Dengku and others:

"Please ask the military masters of the imperial court to call the shots for the grass people! We are all good people who have fled! ”

Liu Honglie led the eight hundred cavalry under his command to suddenly arrive, surrounded a group of kneeling on the ground, and turned around several times before stopping.

Liu Honglie rode on a horse and came to Wang Dengku's face, a leopard-tailed spear in his hand slowly drooped, and the head of the spear glowing with black cold light pointed at Wang Dengku, and then said word by word:

"Where are you from? Where are you going? What kind of flag did the Jianyu encountered? How many people are there?! ”

When Wang Dengku heard this, he was terrified in his heart, and he couldn't speak for a while.

At this time, Zhai Tang, the great proprietor of the Zhai family who was kneeling nearby, hurriedly said: "We are coming from the north, we are going to the south, and we are met by the Jianyu Zhenglan Banner, a total of about 5,000 people!" ”

When Wang Dengku, Huang Yunfa and the others heard this, they also hurriedly repeated Zhai Tang's words.

"So you came from Killing Hukou, and there were 5,000 people from the Jianyu Zhenglan Banner who entered Killing Hukou!?"

Liu Honglie's words immediately caused Zhai Tang, Wang Dengkui, Huang Yunfa and others to disagree.

"Yes, Master Jun! 5,000 people from the Blue Banner entered the Hukou! ”

"No, Master Jun! We're not here to kill Hukou! ”

I didn't think much about it, thinking that these were Liu Honglie, who had fled the people, but after listening to these people's inconsistent answers, Liu Honglie was shocked, and suddenly pointed his spear at the kneeling people, and shouted at his subordinates: "Take them down to Lao Tzu!" ”

"Don't! Other! Other! Commander! We are all good citizens! We are all good citizens! ”

"Master Jun! We have silver! We have silver! The military master let us go, and all this silver was given to the military master! ”

Fan Yongdou, who was kneeling behind the crowd, closed his eyes painfully when he heard the words of Wang Dengku, Huang Yunfa and others, and thought in his heart that he should have walked separately from them a long time ago, and wouldn't it be self-defeating to be with such a fool!

However, at this time, where did Liu Honglie not know, but these people in front of him must be strange?!

At that moment, he stopped talking nonsense with them, and immediately stabbed a family member next to Wang Dengku who wanted to stand up and do something to death on the snow.

The man's scream aroused the reaction of the family members around Wang Dengku and others, those family guards who followed these big businessmen to the north and south on weekdays were not good at stubble, how could the things they did fall into the hands of the officials and soldiers.

Therefore, as soon as Liu Honglie and his cavalry moved, those people picked up the weapons they had thrown around them in an attempt to resist and escape.

However, it was all in vain.

These vanguard cavalry of Yansui Town under the command of Liu Honglie are the team that dares to resist the Jianyu cavalry head-on, and how can they let these horseless family guards succeed.

Therefore, a moment later, all those who dared to stand up and resist or run away died tragically under the spears and bows and arrows.

Only a few dozen of them who honestly knelt behind their masters survived.

After such a resistance from these people, Liu Honglie didn't dare to take the group of people in front of him lightly.

Soon he ordered his subordinates to tie up Wang Dengku, Fan Yongdou, Fan Yongkui, Fan Sanba, Zhai Tang, Huang Yunfa and others one by one, sent a team of cavalry to the south to report the news, and led most of them into Shuoping City.

As soon as everyone entered Shuoping City from the north gate, the scene in Shuoping City made everyone feel deeply shocked!

Even Fan Yongdou and the others knew that Shuoping City was a dead city, but they didn't expect that this dead city was really full of dead people in the streets and alleys.

After Mang Gurtai slaughtered Shuoping, the acropolis of Datong's right guard, he set a fire before leaving, burning Shuoping City almost to a white ground.

Among the burned ruins, the streets and alleys of Shuoping City were full of corpses that had been burned to the core.

The heavy snow that fell a few days ago covered up the stench of the city, but it could not hide the cruelty of the slaughter of the city.

Liu Honglie, the deputy general of Yansui Town, who was accustomed to all kinds of bloody and cruel scenes, endured and endured it again and again before he could be regarded as holding back the anger in his heart.

A fierce general like Liu Honglie, who was born in the army, originally did not have much concept of family and nationality in his heart, but during the treatment period, he got along with Fu Shan, a scholar who abandoned literature and martial arts, for several months, and naturally received some edification, and he was promoted from guerrilla to deputy general by Emperor Chongzhen's order, and suddenly had the idea of "but the king of the world and win the name before and after his death".

At this time, seeing the tragic situation of Shuoping City after being slaughtered by foreign races, the anger in his heart was different from the situation when he witnessed the thieves slaughtering the city, and even the eyes that looked at Wang Dengku, Fan Yongdou and others were also full of tyranny.

For Fan Yongdou and others, although they heard the news of the slaughter of Shuoping City, but before they witnessed it with their own eyes, these people still have a little bit of sophistry about their actions in killing Hukou, and they always feel that war, either you die or I die, and people don't die for themselves, and the poor are not as good as dead friends.

Until this moment, Fan Yongdou and others were tied up by the officials and soldiers and walked through the city, seeing the scenes of hell on earth, knowing that there were also their own sins, and suddenly everyone chanted Buddha in their hearts, praying that the souls of these people who died tragically would not turn into ghosts to find themselves.

Just after the morning of November 27, the main cavalry force of Yansui Town led by Sun Chuanting and He Shiyu rushed to Shuoping City.

However, the dead corpses all over the city immediately made Sun Chuanting and He Shiyu withdraw from the city with the cavalry.

And the identities of Fan Yongdou and these people were soon revealed in Sun Chuanting's thoughtful interrogation.

Liu Honglie may still be ignorant of the names of these people, but Sun Chuanting, who is the governor of Yansui, immediately knew that he had caught a big fish bigger than Ning Wan and me.

No, not one, but many big fish.

The imperial court report of the Jin merchants who killed the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce in Hukou and was willing to do the construction of the prisoner has been sent to every governor yamen in the thirteen provinces of the north and south of the Ming Dynasty along the post stations leading to various places in the capital division.

The southwestern provinces may not have received it yet, but the governor of Shanxi and the governor of Yansui who suppressed bandits in Shanxi have already seen Emperor Chongzhen's will to the world.

At this time, by chance, Fan Yongdou and others, who killed Hu Kou and the traitorous country, fell into their own hands, isn't it unexpected!
